Chapter 332 Returning Home for the New Year

Hearing Lin Xiangnan's answer, Ding Yougui's heart almost broke, and he asked unwillingly: "Does the teacher agree to your leave?"

"Why doesn't she agree? I have arranged your work for the next few days, and there is nothing for me to do." Lin Xiangnan said as a matter of course: "Professor Wang is not an exploitative teacher."

There are relatively few black-hearted graduate supervisors nowadays, and there is no such thing as blocking people from graduating. Lin Xiangnan does not work overtime during the winter and summer vacations, does not hang out in the research institute, and does not hang out in the laboratory. As long as she can produce results and has enough strength, even if Professor Wang does not like her, she can still graduate.

It was only because of the special nature of the research institute's work that Lin Xiangnan took the initiative to fight with everyone for a while longer, but she did not intend to fight to the end.

Lin Xiangnan had already figured it out. The remaining work could be completed by the institute's staff before the New Year, so she was not indispensable.

After packing up his daily necessities, Lin Xiangnan picked up his bag and prepared to leave.

"You're leaving? You're really leaving us and just going away like this. If you leave, what will happen to Wei Dongliang and I..." Ding Yougui still doesn't want to accept this reality.

"What should we do? What should we do if we have to work overtime?" Lin Xiangnan said with a smile: "According to the work plan I arranged for you, you have to work overtime before the New Year. Don't blame me, I just gave some advice and the teacher finally agreed."

She didn't say anything. Professor Wang just took a look and was very satisfied with Lin Xiangnan's arrangement.

During the time she worked as Professor Wang's assistant, Lin Xiangnan had a pretty good understanding of the specialties and work abilities of everyone in the institute. The arrangements she made were the same choices that Professor Wang would normally make.

It’s just that Professor Wang is more casual. He will wait until people complete the tasks of one stage before releasing the tasks for the next stage. Unlike Lin Xiangnan, he directly made a small table to coordinate the arrangements.

Lin Xiangnan is also very aware of her work ability, so she arranged a vacation for herself. There is no other way. After working for a long time, she will feel restless and annoyed, so she must arrange a vacation for herself.

There is no one working in the family now, and the pace basically follows Lin Xiangnan.

When she was on vacation, her family packed up and prepared to go back to her hometown.

"So much luggage? Haven't you sold all the hair bands, electronic watches and other things I brought back?"

"Almost all of them are sold." Hu Meili said happily, "These are things for your grandparents, uncle and aunt to bring back. Things in my hometown are not as varied as those in the capital."

The reason why she was so generous was that she made a lot of money selling things and had enough money. Of course, Hu Meili had to honor her parents.

Not to mention her own parents, Hu Meili has recently doubled the pocket money she gives to Dabao and Xiaobao. Usually she only gives one cent at most, but now she gives two cents.

Hu Meili stopped talking about Lin Xiangxi's afro and jeans and instead started praising them.

"Being fashionable has its advantages. The things your brother brought back are selling very well. It's just that your brother's vision is too advanced. We are too old to keep up. I have also seen it clearly now. If you want to earn money from young people, you have to be fashionable."

"Before, I was worried that your little brother's image was not stable and he didn't look like a good person, which would affect his chances of finding a partner. Now, I've come to terms with it. As long as he spends more money, someone like your little brother can also marry a good wife..."

Listening to Hu Meili saying bad things to him, Lin Xiangxi didn't care, he was used to it. And he knew in his heart that his style did not conform to the aesthetics of middle-aged and elderly people.

When he goes out now, young people look at him with envy, but the older uncles and aunts often nag him behind his back. Fortunately, he is still a college student, otherwise his reputation would be completely ruined.

If you are not envied by others, you are a mediocre person. Lin Xiangxi doesn't care about this.

But Lin Xiangnan couldn't help laughing when he heard it. He raised his eyebrows at his younger brother and said with a wink: "Money is really a good thing. It controls our mother. Because of money, Mom is really happy with your new look."

"That's true. I can even speak loudly now." Lin Xiangxi felt that his status as a brother in the family had improved slightly.

He glanced at Hu Meili and secretly suggested to Lin Xiangnan, "While Mom has money and is in a good mood, go back and persuade her to buy New Year's goods. After a while, her happiness will fade and she will change her face again."

Not only do they have to encourage Hu Meili to buy New Year's goods, but they also have to take advantage of this time to buy the expensive things they want to buy, so as to avoid being nagged by Hu Meili later.

The two siblings looked at each other and understood each other's thoughts.

After returning to his hometown, Lin Xiangnan started the big purchasing mode and bought chicken, duck, fish and meat back home in advance. With Lin Xiangxi as the chef, every meal was as sumptuous as New Year's Eve dinner.

Hu Meili not only did not curse, but also took the initiative to go to the countryside and bought half a pig from her second uncle's family, a total of more than 50 kilograms. In the city, you need a meat ticket for a pig, which costs 80 cents per kilogram. Hu Meili went to the countryside to buy it herself, without a ticket, but the price was expensive. More than 50 kilograms of meat, including meat and bones, cost more than 60 yuan.

After bringing the meat home, Hu Meili took the initiative to share a few pounds of meat with Grandma Hu and her family, and she used the remaining meat to make bacon and sausages.

"Wow~" Lin Xiangnan was helping Hu Meili prepare the ingredients while whispering to Lin Xiangxi, "How much money did mom make this time? Why are you so generous all of a sudden?"

"Anyway, I got 1,400 yuan." Lin Xiangxi said, "It means the profits are split in half. Mom is pretty clear about how to divide the money. I guess she also has 1,400 yuan in her hand."

Although Hu Meili strictly controlled the children's money, they were in business partnership and the money was what they deserved, and there was no private embezzlement. She only asked Lin Xiangxi to keep the money for the children after giving it to him.

Knowing Hu Meili's temper, Lin Xiangxi deposited the money into the passbook early, and made Hu Meili feel at ease by pretending that he would spend only small amounts instead of big amounts. After earning more than a thousand yuan, spending a little bit was nothing.

"Tsk tsk tsk, no wonder people are so generous during the Chinese New Year this year." Lin Xiangnan sighed.

Money can calm most of the trivial disputes in the family. The more money Hu Meili has, the better her temper is.

When Hu Meili had not yet divorced, the end of the year was the peak period for quarrels. Now that there is still some time before the Chinese New Year, Hu Meili bought peanuts, melon seeds and candies early and was happily preparing to welcome the New Year.

Lin Xiangnan also ate and drank well and gained two kilograms. At this time, Ding Yougui and others were still working overtime at the research institute.

After finishing the work at hand, they looked at the time and it was exactly the time Lin Xiangnan had set for them, no more, no less.

"Ha, you really arranged everything for us clearly."
