Chapter 294 Yo~Here I come~
With the adults in the family setting an example, the eldest and youngest children also joined in the fun and insisted on peeling shrimps and putting them in Lin Xiangnan's bowl.
Lin Xiangnan ate the ones peeled by others first, and the other two continued to make trouble.
"Just eat what I peel, just eat what I peel, mom~" Xiaobao's eyes were wet, and he stared at Lin Xiangnan without letting up.
"Okay, okay, I'll eat what you peel."
Lin Xiangnan compromised, but she was not a polite person, and said: "But you didn't clean the shrimp thread and shrimp shell. Please clean them again. Mom doesn't want to dirty her hands."
As for Xiaobao's hands, they were dirty to begin with, so it was just a matter of convenience.
Anyway, Lin Xiangnan won't eat anything that's not well-prepared, even if Xiaobao peels it. Motherly love doesn't necessarily mean putting yourself at risk.
After getting a whole bowl of shrimp, Lin Xiangnan asked everyone to stop eating. While eating, she said to Lin Xiangdong with concern: "Brother, when you go to school, take the tape recorder and tapes with you. You can practice listening and perform better in the foreign language test."
As the saying goes, sharpening your sword before the battle is better than sharpening it. The devilish training before the exam is very effective.
"Okay, lend it to me for half a month, and I'll give it back to you after the exam." He had received a lot of help from Lin Xiangnan in his studies, so there was no need for Lin Xiangdong to be polite about such a small matter.
"Tapes, do you want Russian, English, or other languages?" Lin Xiangnan continued to ask.
"English. There are too many people who can speak Russian and the competition is too fierce." Anyway, he is not good at any subject, so it doesn't matter which track he chooses.
"Well, I can speak Russian, too." Hu Meili said with a hint of boasting, "Hello, Privite."
Lin Xiangnan praised: "Not bad, not bad, your pronunciation is quite standard. You said hello, then what?"
"Then I won't be able to say that anymore. I only know this sentence." Hu Meili said confidently.
There was a period of time when we were in a honeymoon period with the Soviet Union. Many people of Hu Meili's generation could speak Russian, especially the children of large factories that had received Soviet aid. Even Hu Meili could speak a few words.
For a long time afterwards, English was the mainstream in China, and Lin Xiangdong focused on learning English to adapt to the situation.
After showing concern for Lin Xiangdong, Lin Xiangnan raised his chin to Gu Zhenjun, "What about you?"
"I won't go." Gu Zhenjun said with a headache: "I can't even memorize all the Chinese books. How can I be so depressed that I have to memorize foreign books."
At this moment, Lin Xiangxi was like a student in class who was afraid of being called out on questions and did not dare to look Lin Xiangnan in the eye.
"Don't be so stupid. I didn't even plan to ask you." Lin Xiangnan said with a smile: "It's good enough that you can graduate well."
"Don't worry about graduation, I'm sure I'll be able to do it!" After studying under the watchful eyes of his family for a whole summer, Lin Xiangxi felt that he was incredibly strong now.
The school would send the final grades back home, and failing the exam would definitely be a public punishment. Lin Xiangxi did not fail the exam, and he barely passed it, which was barely up to the teacher's requirements. After all, he was admitted to the university through a formal exam, so he couldn't be that bad.
It's just that when he was studying, his mind was not on learning, which is why he fell behind others.
Lin Xiangxi was not afraid of the teachers at school, but he was afraid of the bigwigs at home. He was being watched by his family, so he did not dare to relax at all during the summer vacation.
He was distracted during class at school. During the summer vacation, he secretly studied. Lin Xiangxi said confidently: "I will definitely surprise all my classmates when I go to school this time!"
"Heh~" Lin Xiangnan chuckled. How could she not know her little brother's temper? When he got to school, no one was watching him, and his thoughts started to slip again.
After a trip to the south, he saw a lot of new things. Not only did Lin Xiangxi's mind become wild, even Hu Meili was led astray by him.
When sending him to the train station, Hu Meili did not tell him to study hard, but only said: "When you go home during the winter vacation, bring back more good things. If you don't have enough money to buy goods, I will lend you some."
"Don't worry, Mom. I will definitely not come back empty-handed." Lin Xiangxi said confidently.
"It's enough to do this job during the holidays. You still have to study hard during normal times, okay?" In Hu Meili's eyes, the money she earns is not as important as a good company in the future.
“I know.”
Lin Xiangxi didn't mind the hassle of taking the train back and forth. Not studying in the capital, and not being able to stay with his family, did reduce a lot of conveniences, but he was also completely free.
When he left, he waved to everyone excitedly, "Goodbye~~~"
Hu Meili was originally quite sad and almost cried when she saw him off. But when Lin Xiangxi yelled at her, her tears were instantly held back, "What a heartless bastard."
After sending Lin Xiangxi to the train station, Lin Xiangnan didn't have a few days of comfort at home. When school started, she had to go to school and report to the teacher.
All students under Professor Wang have contacted her in advance.
Some teachers have assigned a bunch of tasks to their students before school starts, but Professor Wang does not. She has to observe her students for a while before she can make a conclusion.
"This year, your three main tasks are still to attend classes. Come to me every Saturday to report. I have arranged classes on Saturdays this semester, so you will spend more time in school." Professor Wang said as he assigned required professional courses to Lin Xiangnan and the others.
In addition to the courses designated by Professor Wang, Lin Xiangnan and his classmates can choose other courses by themselves. In addition to those professional courses, politics and English are also compulsory...
Lin Xiangnan took his newly prepared class schedule and couldn't help but curse in his heart. This schedule was not much easier than that of college.
In addition to these fixed courses, industry leaders occasionally give lectures.
In other words, when they reach the graduate stage, they will still be fed by various teachers in turn. At this stage, they are not fat enough, and Professor Wang still doesn't look down on them.
After making arrangements for the three students, Professor Wang calmly left with his bag, leaving Lin Xiangnan and the other two students looking at each other in bewilderment.
"My name is Lin Xiangnan, and I was promoted from this school." Lin Xiangnan was the first to introduce himself.
Another man who looked to be in his mid-twenties also introduced himself, "My name is Wei Dongliang, and I used to be a high school teacher."
"My name is Ding Yougui, and I used to work as an abacus operator in the factory."
Although Ding Yougui smiled shyly, Lin Xiangnan still looked at him twice. If she had to say, she used to be an abacus in the factory. The other party did not report the specific work unit, maybe it was difficult to say the unit. Most likely, she is a research and development personnel of a confidential unit.
These students were recommended by Professor Wang, which had a lot to do with their employers and connections. But there are many teachers who can supervise graduate students, and those who can work under Professor Wang are all very capable.
We will be getting along with each other for several years in the future, so everyone is quite polite when meeting for the first time.
The teachers for graduate courses are still the same teachers in the department.
"Anyway, you can't escape our Five Fingers Mountain in school." Professor Li joked, "Who said that we old guys are the only ones left in the school now?"
Lin Xiangnan said with a smile: "You guys are busy, so Cai Meijuan and the others will have an easy time."
Before, there was only one class of students that needed careful training, but now there is not only one more class of undergraduates, but Professor Li and his colleagues also have to supervise graduate students.
The teachers are still the same group of teachers, but with more students, the only-child treatment is no longer available. Cai Meijuan and her classmates’ study tasks this semester have been reduced by more than half, and they feel visibly relieved.
"Don't be so playful with me. Be serious. I'll use you as an example to scare the monkeys in the first class." Professor Li said with a smile, "Listen carefully in class. If you don't answer the questions I ask you, be careful or I'll throw chalk at you."
We still have to give Professor Li face, especially in the first class.
Lin Xiangnan answered all the difficult questions he raised, which gave the other students a great warning.
Especially the graduate students taught by Professor Li, they were sweating profusely and did not dare to look Professor Li in the eye.
Shame, so shameful.
Although they were recommended to study for a master's degree, their abilities seemed to be not good enough. What if the teacher was disappointed in them and didn't want them anymore?
There is no need to hit the drum hard to make it sound louder. With this awareness, everyone began to work hard.
Only Lin Xiangnan performed outstandingly in the first class. Later, when the teacher asked questions, she did not even raise her hand.
These professional teachers were all very familiar with Lin Xiangnan and didn't pay much attention to him, so Lin Xiangnan was happy and relaxed.
But when Lin Xiangnan reported his learning results of the week to Professor Wang on Saturday, he was almost dragged down by the other two students.
Wei Dongliang used to be a math teacher. Apart from his poor English, he made rapid progress in his professional courses. He had already taught himself most of the textbooks distributed by the school by staying up late at night.
Ding Yougui has developed in all aspects, with strong professional ability and good English.
Although Lin Xiangnan was the fastest among the three of them, she still became nervous unconsciously.
With everyone's way of doing things, it's hard to say how long she can keep leading.
It is really hard to be surrounded by the king of papers. Lin Xiangnan has a miserable expression.
Not to mention Lin Xiangnan, the other two people also felt that they had met a strong opponent. Their nerves were tense and their expressions were serious.
In the previous unit, who was not a well-known figure? Here, even the middle-level ones need to fight for their lives. Especially Wei Dongliang and Ding Yougui are both nearly 30 years old, much older than Lin Xiangnan, and they are still a little uncomfortable because they have not been able to beat him.
"The performance of the three of you has exceeded my expectations."
After listening to the three students' reports, Professor Wang showed an expression of surprise on his face and praised: "I didn't expect that even though the college entrance examination has been suspended for ten years and talent cultivation has been interrupted, there are still so many self-taught people. You are all very good."
After being praised by the teacher, Lin Xiangnan and the other two relaxed a little.
Fortunately, I met a good seedling, and Professor Wang was also happy to cultivate him. "Since you can keep up with the learning progress, you can come with me to the institute for practice when you don't have classes next week."
"Thank you teacher for giving us this opportunity!" Wei Dongliang immediately bowed and expressed his gratitude excitedly with a very proper attitude.
Ding Yougui's emotions were not so outward, but he also happily said thank you to Professor Wang.
All the classmates went to graduate school, but I was still hiding in school. How embarrassing it would be to tell others about it. Fearing that he would be crushed by the other two classmates and fall behind by a large distance, Lin Xiangnan quickly agreed.
Seeing everyone’s positive attitude, Professor Wang did not wait until next week but brought the three people to the research institute this Sunday.
"It's quite close to the school. You can come by yourself after class. I've already greeted the gatekeeper. You don't need me to lead you next time. You can come in directly."
Professor Wang is also a very busy person. After arriving at the research institute, she asked someone to show Lin Xiangnan and the others around while she went about her own business.
It's said that there is a lack of talent. Lin Xiangnan walked around the institute and didn't see anyone with shiny black hair who was busy. At a glance, most of them were over 40 years old. A few gray hairs were standard for researchers in the institute.
Seeing everyone’s hair, Lin Xiangnan unconsciously touched his own hair with a sad expression.
Students who are not yet employed need to be fed slowly in school. For students who are employed, Professor Wang will not be so polite. After Lin Xiangnan and others become familiar with the environment, they will have a lot more work to do.
"There's not much information, just give it to me by the Monday after next." The student still had to attend classes, so Professor Wang only gave him a general assignment for the week.
"good!"
Lin Xiangnan and the other two looked at each other and saw the secret competitive look in each other's eyes.
When it comes to practice, Lin Xiangnan is stronger. She stayed in the company cafeteria to eat that day, worked overtime at noon, and finished all the work. She even rushed back to take a nap in the afternoon.
Professor Wang said it should be submitted on Monday, and Lin Xiangnan felt that he just needed to hand it in on time.
Who knew that Ding Yougui, this big loser, would be ready to hand in the task after finishing it on Wednesday.
"Are you guys done? Do you want to go find the teacher together?"
Wei Dongliang looked nervous, "You go first, I have to wait for two days."
In addition to the tasks assigned by Professor Wang, they also had to study, so time was actually quite tight. In addition, some journals and materials in the institute were in English originals, which was a bit difficult for Wei Dongliang.
Everyone was preparing to hand in their homework early. How could he be so depressed that he had to hand it in on Monday? Lin Xiangnan sighed, "Student Ding, I'll hand it in with you."
"Okay, let's go together." Ding Yougui still thought that he should be able to take the lead this time, but who knew that he still couldn't stand out. He looked a little melancholy.
Professor Wang was very pleased that they were so proactive, but he was not polite and gave them more tasks.
The research institute’s information cannot be taken home, so if Lin Xiangnan wants to work, he can only come to the research institute.
As soon as she got comfortable, a researcher called out to her, "Xiao Lin, take this student around the institute to get familiar with the environment."
Professor Wang and his colleagues don't do this kind of work. It's only done by this group of miscellaneous minions like them.
As a non-staff member who just came to the institute, how can I have any status?
Lin Xiangnan suppressed his impatient expression and stood up, his eyes meeting Sun Yi at the door.
Both sides were shocked.
The feeling of impatience in his heart disappeared instantly, Lin Xiangnan raised his eyebrows and greeted enthusiastically: "Hey~ you're here~"
