Over the past few days, Lu Zhou had basically stayed at home. It had been a long time since he had experienced the comfort of staying at home.
Sure enough, humans are nostalgic.
The idea that the past must be good was like a commandment engraved on a stone slab. Whenever a person was overwhelmed by a strange life, they would miss the slow pace of the past.
Of course, what made Lu Zhou miss wasn't his childhood.
It was his mother's cooking.
After eating all kinds of delicacies, the best food in the world was still his mother's home cooking. Especially the braised fish and pork ribs soup, which were enough for him to eat three big bowls of rice in a row.
Eating and drinking every day made Lu Zhou gain weight … Uh, okay, his weight didn't seem to have changed much. After all, no matter how much he ate, he didn't gain weight. Instead, he became a lot more muscular because of his regular work and rest.
In other words, his body fat percentage has decreased?
These days, Lu Zhou deliberately put aside all of his work matters. With so many things happening, he didn't want to think about anything that might give him a headache.
Even the Golden Legendary Mission Card was left in the System Space for the time being. Because he knew very well that once he opened the card, he wouldn't be able to keep his mind occupied.
However, even though Lu Zhou stayed away from social media and the Internet, he still maintained a channel to communicate with the outside world.
It was during the phone call with Chen Yushan that he found out that after the news of the frozen dormancy technology breakthrough was released, the Internet outside the wall was in an uproar.
However, even though Lu Zhou knew about it, he didn't care too much.
No matter how the international debate on this matter was, it wouldn't affect him at all. Those who thought that they could change the world or affect something with their mouths probably didn't even know where they stood.
Lu Zhou, who turned a deaf ear to the outside world, lived a leisurely life these past few days.
Sometimes, he also thought that perhaps it was just as that person said to him at that time, that he had contributed enough strength to this world, and everything was developing in a good direction. In the future, he should also leave more time for himself.
Of course, that being said, Lu Zhou reckoned that he probably wouldn't be able to stay idle.
After all, this was not the first time he had such thoughts.
At the same time, the domestic public opinion on this matter had more or less heated up because of the influence from outside the wall.
However, it was only a little warm.
In fact, whether it was Academician Zhao Zhongji, Professor Liu Zuobing, or Lu Zhou himself, they all overestimated the impact of this matter.
No matter what, the future had yet to happen. Apart from some media outlets that sold class anxiety, there was actually quite little discussion about this matter in the country. It didn't even attract much attention.
Firstly, the mainstream media did not deliberately report on this. It was actually very difficult to attract the attention of ordinary people.
Secondly …
It seemed that another celebrity had recently gotten divorced.
Academics were all like this. They liked to think too much.
Noon.
Lu Bangguo, who was holding his chopsticks, suddenly said as the family sat down and ate.
"Speaking of which, you've been eating your mother's braised fish for so long, but you haven't seen how the fish is served, right?"
Lu Zhou guessed that his dad probably wanted to brag about his fishing skills, so he wanted to smile and agree. However, he didn't expect his mom to be unhappy when she heard this.
"Why haven't you seen it, son? Who hasn't been to a supermarket? "
Old Lu didn't expect to piss off his wife, so he explained with a headache.
"Um … Supermarkets are supermarkets, but where do the fish come from?"
"Can't you buy it from a fish pond? Do you think it's from a fishing rod? "
"…"
Old Lu was speechless. He couldn't think of a rebuttal for a long time. In the end, he looked at his son.
"Son, are you free?"
"… I am, what do you want to do?"
"Let's go fishing with your dad in the afternoon."
Lu Zhou: "…"
In the end, he had spent so much time preparing for this matter.
Can't you just say it?
What a headache.
Lu Zhou couldn't stand his dad's nagging. He thought that he should spend more time with his parents, so he finally agreed to his dad's invitation.
Even though he wasn't interested in fishing, he still spent some time watching some instructional videos that were actually useless. Then, he picked a cloudy day that wasn't so hot and followed his dad to the river that was about two to three kilometers away from home …
Actually, rather than a river, Lu Zhou felt like it was more like a small ditch. However, his dad insisted that when he was a child … which was about thirty or forty years ago, this was indeed a river. A group of children would come here to swim every summer. This was one of his few childhood hobbies.
The fishing began.
Lu Zhou, who was sitting on a bench by the river, thought that it wouldn't take long for the first big fish to take the bait. However, the float moved up and down several times, but no fish took the bait.
Lu Zhou watched his dad fish one fish after another. He was gradually losing interest in this sport. He couldn't help but sigh.
Sure enough, everyone has their own specialties.
My 2500 IQ should be enough for anything, but when it comes to fishing, I might not be able to do it.
Lu Bangguo was leisurely sitting next to his son. He squinted his eyes and stared at the river.
He then suddenly said, "You have something on your mind."
Lu Zhou had a premonition that his dad was probably looking for an opportunity to show off to him again, so he sighed and spoke.
He sighed and said, "Dad, what TV series are you watching?"
"I'm serious, I'm not kidding." Although he said he was not joking, Lu Bangguo's expression was still smiling. As he spoke, he lashed out again. "Impetuous people like you can't catch fish. Only people like your dad, who are retired and don't keep things in their hearts, can catch … a small claw. Go home tonight and ask your mom to make soup for you."
Lu Zhou was speechless. He said, "You know I can't catch anything, but why did you bring me here?"
Old Lu smiled and said, "It's because you're still worried every day on vacation, so I brought you out to relax. You don't have to catch anything to be considered fishing. If you can feel relaxed and have a moment of peace, that's a good thing. "
Honestly speaking, at this age, Lu Zhou didn't feel anything after listening to his dad's profound teachings.
However, his dad was right about one thing. He did have a lot of things on his mind.
Even though he didn't have any, sometimes he couldn't help but think about it.
He didn't want to think about whether it was good or not.
Lu Zhou stared at the plastic bucket that was almost full. He went silent for a long time and suddenly spoke.
"Dad."
"Yeah, what?"
"If I asked you to go to the future, would you go?"
Hearing this sudden question, Lu Bangguo was obviously taken aback.
"The future? What future? "
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and spoke in a more understandable way than frozen dormancy.
"If there was a time machine that could take you to 50 years in the future … Would you go?"
Lu Zhou thought that his dad would think for a while before answering this question. He didn't expect his dad to refuse without even thinking.
"I won't go."
"Why?"
"You young people like to think about these strange things." Old Lu shook his head and continued, "Tell me, what's so good about the future?"
Lu Zhou thought for a bit and said, "At least … we'll be richer."
Old Lu: "What does that have to do with me? Old Liu's house is being demolished across the street, does that have anything to do with you? "
Sometimes, Old Lu even wondered if the district government had a grudge against his family. There were rumors that the neighborhood next to his house was going to be demolished, but his house wasn't.
Lu Zhou said, "Demolition … is an increase in personal wealth. The future is an increase in the wealth of society as a whole. Anyway, just pretend that it has something to do with you. "
Old Lu shook his head stubbornly. "I won't go, I won't go. If I go, what will your mother do? And you, without me, you'll be single for the rest of your life. "
"Of course not …" Lu Zhou was speechless. He said, "Your son is very popular at school, okay? Every year … I don't even dare to turn on my phone, my phone is exploding. "
Old Lu went silent for a while. He sighed and spoke in a relaxed tone.
"Sigh, I do believe that. Your father was also a famous handsome boy in this area. Otherwise, your mother wouldn't have taken a fancy to me. You and I are carved from the same mold. I still have this bit of confidence in you. I'm also worried that your standards are too high. Ordinary people don't like you, and it's hard to get in touch with extraordinary people. "
Lu Zhou thought about it and felt like he shouldn't complain about this. Otherwise, he would feel like he was being shot. Therefore, he coughed and brought the topic back.
"… What if I ignore these factors?"
Old Lu's eyes widened. "You can ignore these factors?"
Lu Zhou had a headache and said, "What if! I'm saying what if! Do you really think there's something that can send you to fifty years in the future? "
"Oh … I still won't go!"
Lu Zhou: "… Why not?"
"More than 20 years ago, anyone who owned a mobile phone in the surrounding area would be very proud of themselves. Nowadays, I'm afraid no one would want that broken brick even if I were to throw it away. "
At this point, the expression on Old Lu's face was full of complicated emotions, as if he was recalling something from the past.
"Now it's a computer, and now it's a cell phone. Last time, I saw in the WeChat group that your uncle forwarded that article. Now, it seems like they're starting to come up with things like smart wear and a display on the bridge of the nose. I really don't know how to use these things. Your mother and I learned how to use WeChat, but it took us a long time. It's only been twenty years … "
Speaking of this, Old Lu suddenly looked a little melancholic.
"You don't know how modern your father was back then, he could even play with his own TV and radio. Now, even people like us can't keep up with the times, it's only been twenty years …"
"Fifty years? Haha … You youngsters have so many ideas. "
