Chapter 349: Unified Talk
With a good company to back you up, no one would say anything about spending all your money, let alone spending it all. And now there are no mortgages, car loans, or online loans, so even if you spend ahead of time, it won't be too outrageous.
No matter how Lin Xiangnan spends money, as long as the family can make ends meet and does not owe a large amount of foreign debt, outsiders will have nothing to say.
Older people don't like this lifestyle, but young people adapt well to it.
"Is your color TV useful? When I graduate and get a job, I'll save some money and buy one." Cai Meijuan patted the big color TV with envy in her eyes.
"Just buy it. It's only a matter of one year's salary anyway." Lin Xiangnan said indifferently, "You will have to buy it sooner or later, so buy it sooner and enjoy it sooner. Money in the bank will never keep up with inflation. But instead of buying a color TV, I suggest you buy a house first."
"If I don't buy it, it won't be my turn when the company allocates housing." Cai Meijuan said confidently: "In the past, I might not have been involved in housing allocation. But now I am a college student, and when the company allocates housing, I will definitely be in the first tier."
When I was in school, I looked around and saw college students everywhere. It seemed like there were a lot of people. Once they were assigned to different units, college students became precious. Ordinary units could only assign one or two people at most. If there was any good thing, they would not be left out.
After drinking some water and taking a break in the living room, Cai Meijuan and her classmates took the initiative to find work to do.
But the men and women in the yard all do their own things, and their duties are clearly separated.
The men were stringing skewers and installing the barbecue rack on the left, while the women were washing and cutting vegetables on the right. There was not even any eye contact between the two sides, Ku Ku was just working.
"There's real life in his eyes." Lin Xiangnan couldn't help scratching his head.
Lin Xiangnan and Gu Zhenhua are not familiar with the job of matchmaking, but Hu Meili is.
Seeing that Lin Xiangnan was useless, Hu Meili pushed Lin Xiangnan away with her buttocks and enthusiastically said, "It's so boring for everyone to work like this. Let's have a little comrade perform a show."
Gu Zhenhua was particularly supportive and recommended: "Let Captain Li come. Captain Li is good at military boxing."
Whether his military boxing skills are good or not is secondary; the main point is that he is the best looking.
After Captain Li finished his military boxing training, he received a round of applause.
There are so many activities these days, and the female comrades went on the show without any stage fright, and the atmosphere immediately became heated.
Seeing that both sides were talking, Lin Xiangnan breathed a sigh of relief and started eating. "The roasted potato chips are delicious. Zhenhua, roast a few more for me. Laoliu, is the pork belly in your hand cooked? Leave two skewers and don't sprinkle the chili powder on them."
Dabao and Xiaobao followed Lin Xiangnan, eating and drinking together, and going wherever there was something delicious.
Lin Xiangnan enjoyed his meal and did not forget to make arrangements for other people. "Captain Li, please take your skewers over to Researcher Zhao and the others... Meijuan, please bring two cans of soda..."
It is not certain whether you can become a couple when you go to her house, but you can definitely eat and drink well.
When they left Lin Xiangnan's house, everyone was full.
"It's delicious. Sister-in-law's cooking skills are as good as ever." Captain Li praised sincerely: "When I grilled it myself in the wild, I couldn't get this taste at all. The barbecue ingredients, are they specially prepared by sister-in-law? They are really delicious. Can I ask sister-in-law to mix some ingredients for me? This ingredient will definitely taste good with anything..."
"Were you only concerned with eating yesterday? You didn't do any work at all?" Gu Zhenhua was so disappointed with the man that he almost poked his head crooked with his outstretched index finger.
"No, no, I took it to heart." Captain Li covered his forehead and instantly became shy. "Can you ask your sister-in-law to help me find out what Zhao Fengying has to say? I baked the potato slices she cut yesterday. The potato slices she cut were very even, and the thickness of each slice was exactly the same. They were cut so beautifully!"
Gu Zhenhua was speechless. "As expected, he is the man who folds the quilt most standardly. His way of looking at people is different."
Unlike him and Lin Xiangnan, two vulgar people, they looked at each other's face at first sight. Who told them to be good-looking? When they met for the first time, they didn't pay attention to other places at all.
Gu Zhenhua and the others are not real matchmakers. They are just acting as a connective tissue to allow everyone to get to know each other. From then on it depends on their own efforts.
If this kind of personal problem were to be dealt with one-on-one, several rest days would have to be wasted. This way, group gatherings save both time and effort.
Lin Xiangnan took the time to say a few words, and then she had nothing to do.
Recently, Professor Wang has been stimulated by a group of foreign scientists and his mental state is not very stable. As a result, Lin Xiangnan has also become more obedient and wants to quickly produce a new result to make his teacher happy.
When Lin Xiangnan passed by Zhao Fengying's desk with some documents in his arms, she stuffed two big oranges into his hand.
"Eat oranges, they are guaranteed to be sweet."
"Thank you." Lin Xiangnan peeled the skin on the spot and prepared to taste a slice. Zhao Fengying was quite kind in this respect. She had a boyfriend but she didn't forget the matchmaker. If Captain Li brought her something good, she would not forget to give a portion to the matchmaker.
"You're welcome." Zhao Fengying said with a happy smile: "I'm planning to get married next month, so I'm telling you in advance."
"Cough, cough, cough!" Lin Xiangnan pounded his chest and almost choked on the orange, "Why so fast?"
"It's okay. We've been together for more than a month. We already know each other's situation. It's not too fast."
From knowing each other to preparing for marriage, the whole process takes no more than two months, which is considered medium speed. If it is fast, some people get married after meeting each other twice.
Zhao Fengying said helplessly: "He and I are not young anymore. It would be better to get married early."
The main reason is that the situation was not good in the past few years, and the training of this generation was a bit backward. Zhao Fengying was a worker-peasant-soldier college student who stayed in the institute on her own. She had both academic qualifications and abilities, but she was still a bit arrogant in her heart. She really looked down on those who were uneducated.
There have been college entrance examinations in the past two years, and there are more college students, but the outstanding students who can come to the institute for internship are like Lin Xiangnan and Sun Yi, and they are rare to find outstanding young people, whether married or unmarried.
And to be honest, Zhao Fengying didn't want to find a colleague. The men in their research institute obviously didn't care about their families and were even worse than soldiers.
It was rare to come across someone who suited her taste, so Zhao Fengying naturally sped up the process.
Zhao Fengying said very honestly: "If I marry Captain Li earlier, the school can allocate him a two-bedroom dormitory, which is more convenient than the single dormitory in my institute. When new students enter in September, there will be more students and it will be difficult to allocate housing."
"Hiss~" Lin Xiangnan stuffed a slice of orange into his mouth and said suspiciously, "Does their army have some unified scam tactics? The one in our family also used the house trick."
