Chapter 324 Grandma, I want it!

The state of the research institute is similar to that of the former Factory 132, and overtime has become commonplace.

"Would you like to have dinner in the cafeteria or go back home?" Sun Yi suggested enthusiastically when he got off work in the evening: "Why don't you go to the cafeteria with us? It's too much trouble to go back home specially."

The canteen and dormitory are both in the unit, which is not only convenient for everyone to go to work, but also convenient for everyone to work overtime.

Sun Yi regretted that he lived in the school, which affected his working hours, while Lin Xiangnan was glad that he did not live in the company.

"I'd better go back and eat today. I didn't tell my mom in advance, and I was afraid she would worry."

This time, Lin Xiangnan didn't leave right away with her bag. Instead, she waited until everyone left the office and went to the cafeteria before she quietly left. The leader had just scolded someone at the meeting, and Professor Wang and the others were busy, so Lin Xiangnan didn't dare to be too arrogant.

After Sun Yi and the others came back from the cafeteria after finishing their meal, they were busy for a while but did not see Lin Xiangnan return.

"The teacher is still working overtime." Ding Yougui couldn't help but mutter, "Isn't Xiaolin going to take over the job of the teacher's assistant? How come he left so quickly?"

Sun Yi didn't even raise his head. "You'll get used to it. She's always been so bold."

Since she has no shortage of money, Lin Xiangnan has no awe for work. She goes to work just because she likes it.

The nature of the work in the research institute is special. On the first day, Lin Xiangnan went back and told Hu Meili about it. The next day, she overcame her laziness and reluctantly extended her working hours.

Sun Yi was not used to her behavior.

"You rarely took the initiative to work overtime like this before." Sun Yi's tone was sour.

Lin Xiangnan took it for granted, "That's because the factory's progress was too slow before, so I didn't need to add any more."

It is impossible for one person to build an airplane alone. These big things require the cooperation of all people, all departments, and even the entire country's industrial system.

Teamwork, it is useless for one person to rush too fast. Finishing your own work and resting on the spot to wait for teammates is Lin Xiangnan's work philosophy. Helping teammates with work is not within Lin Xiangnan's consideration.

She was much faster than her teammates of the same level, so she had time to slack off when she was in Factory 132. When she arrived at the research institute, the quality of her teammates improved greatly, so the time she had to slack off naturally decreased.

When encountering people like Professor Wang, Lin Xiangnan would have to jog for a while to catch up, let alone paddling.

However, Professor Wang took into consideration that Lin Xiangnan was still a student, so the schedule was not so tight.

"You don't have classes tomorrow, so go sit in on Professor Zhang's meeting and tell me the key points when you come back. I have to go to the lab, so I won't have enough time. You have an exam the day after tomorrow, so you don't need to come to the institute. Just take the exam first."

Professor Wang felt that he was quite considerate by not asking Lin Xiangnan to come to work during the exam period.

In her opinion, it was just an exam, not difficult, and could be done with just a little effort.

If the students in the school who are rushing to review knew what Professor Wang was thinking, they would probably cry.

It may be because the three students he taught were all quite capable, and the final exam paper set by Professor Wang was also very difficult.

On the day of the final exam, many students' faces changed when they saw the test papers were handed out.

Even Wei Dongliang was complaining in his heart that his teacher was too harsh. After getting the test paper, he raised his head and looked at Ding Yougui sadly, then looked at Lin Xiangnan, trying to find an approval.

But Lin Xiangnan didn't even look at them. As soon as she got the test paper, she started writing quickly.

When Wei Dongliang heard the noise and looked up again, he found that Lin Xiangnan was about to hand in the paper and leave.

The research institute has been quite busy recently, and Lin Xiangnan and his friends have spent all their free time in the institute. Knowing that Lin Xiangnan and his friends are busy, the invigilator did not ask Lin Xiangnan for help.

As soon as Lin Xiangnan handed in the paper, the invigilator nodded and signaled Lin Xiangnan to leave the classroom.

After she left, the invigilator said, "Hurry up, Lin Xiangnan has already handed in his paper. I just took a look and it's almost all correct."

After the invigilator said this, many students in the audience groaned.

"Why are you sighing? Hurry up and write. Otherwise, Xiaolin will take first place again this year."

The teacher said this to put some pressure on the students taking the exam.

But he just can't do it. No matter how fast Lin Xiangnan runs, it doesn't affect other students who have to hand in their papers on time.

Lin Xiangnan handed in his paper early and did not go to work at the institute. Instead, he picked up his two children from the nursery and took them shopping for fun.

The two children each held a roasted sweet potato and ate it. While eating, they asked Lin Xiangnan: "Mom, when will my uncle come back?"

"Just these few days. After the exams, they will be back." Lin Xiangnan was also chewing a sweet potato in his hand, and there was another sweet potato wrapped in newspaper in his pocket for Hu Meili.

"I miss the sesame rice balls and fried fish made by my uncle..." Xiaobao started to read the menu directly.

Lin Xiangnan likes to eat good food, but he has to go to school and work every day. Although he is not tired, he still feels drained of energy. Improving the food is only an occasional thing.

Unlike Lin Xiangxi, when he goes home during the holidays, as long as the ingredients are in place, he can cook 18 kinds of dishes every day. Last summer vacation, when Lin Xiangxi was there, everyone in the family gained weight.

It's been a semester, and the two children are still missing their uncle.

"I miss your uncle, too." Lin Xiangnan took a bite of the sweet potato and said, "If you want to eat sesame dumplings, have this for lunch. I'm a little greedy too."

When the three of them came back home carrying their things, Dabao and Xiaobao stuffed the remaining half of the sweet potato into Wuyun's mouth.

The dark cloud barked, without any courtesy, and swallowed the sweet potato in one gulp, finally spitting out the burnt sweet potato skin.

Not seeing Hu Meili in the yard, Lin Xiangnan raised his chin to Wuyun and asked, "Where's my mother?"

With a sound of "Awooo~", Wuyun called out to Hu Meili's door a few times, indicating that Hu Meili was at home.

Knowing that Hu Meili was there, Dabao and Xiaobao had no scruples and pushed the door of Hu Meili's room open, shouting excitedly, "Grandma! We brought something back for you!"

Hu Meili was counting money when she heard the noise in the yard. Just as she was about to put the money away, Dabao and Xiaobao pushed the door open.

The sudden noise scared Hu Meili so much that she lost her grip and the money fell to the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay, it's okay." Dabao and Xiaobao comforted Hu Meili while helping her pick up the money.

After picking up a large-denomination ten-yuan note, Xiaobao looked at Hu Meili eagerly, "Grandma, I want it."

When Dabao saw it, he also said, "Grandma, I want it too!"
