Given that she has fish to exchange, it's normal for her to have a few frozen fish at home, so she's not afraid of being noticed.
Yun Zechen was a little disappointed when he saw Cang Yu take out the fish again, but Lin Yue was still nowhere to be seen.
Sigh! He went too far, otherwise Lin Yue wouldn't even want to see him.
After taking the fish, Yun Zechen returned home feeling rather dejected.
Lin Yue had no idea what he was thinking. Her braised pork was ready to be served, and she had started stewing it before feeding the chickens and ducks.
She served the braised pork and smelled it: "Mmm! It smells so good. With some kimchi, I can eat three bowls of rice tonight."
When Cang Yu returned, he overheard what she said and smiled as he took the food out.
We'll serve the braised pork later.
The food was served, and the two of them served themselves rice, sat facing each other, and ate their meals in silence without saying a word.
Lin Yue found this atmosphere very enjoyable.
When my parents were still alive, they rarely spoke during meals, but it didn't feel awkward; there was just a gentle warmth flowing through the house.
Lin Yue finished a bowl of rice and was about to get another when the doorbell rang again.
"I'll go check on it, you eat," Cang Yu said as he got up.
"Okay!" Lin Yue continued to serve rice, and seeing that Cang Yu's was finished, she served him his as well.
In fact, they rarely serve each other rice. Even if they know each other's appetite, they won't go out of their way to serve each other rice. This is because everyone's appetite varies from day to day. Even if someone eats three bowls every day, they might want to serve less rice and put something else in the bowl. As long as they have enough to eat, it's fine. It doesn't have to be three bowls.
Like her, she particularly dislikes others serving her rice.
However, when they are busy, they will help each other serve food.
After serving the rice, Cang Yu led his men in.
Lin Yue looked up and saw her mentor following behind Cang Yu.
Lin Yue stood up, a flash of surprise in her eyes.
She hasn't been back to the hospital since her last visit to her mentor. She feels that their ideas are different now, and they can't have a proper conversation even when they're together.
She was unwilling to dedicate herself to serving the country and its people, but whenever her mentor saw her, he would keep urging her to work in a hospital or do something to help the country.
If the country truly needs her, she can do what she can within her capabilities, but she should never tie herself to any particular place.
"Professor, what brings you here? Have you eaten? Let's have a meal together!" Lin Yue said, and without waiting for Professor Qi's reply, she immediately went to the kitchen to get bowls and chopsticks.
"Sigh, no..." Professor Qi was about to refuse when Lin Yue had already entered the kitchen.
"Professor Qi, please have a seat." Cang Yu led him to the dining table.
"Thank you!" Professor Qi sat down as instructed.
He was quite embarrassed. He hadn't expected Lin Yue and the others to be eating, but now he was sitting to the side while they were eating. It seemed rather awkward, so he could only sit down.
Lin Yue first served Professor Qi a bowl of rice, and then went to get chopsticks.
Lin Yue placed her chopsticks on Professor Qi's bowl and sat down, saying, "Professor, please eat first, we'll talk after we finish eating."
No matter what you do, eat your fill first.
“Okay, then I’ll shamelessly freeload off this meal,” Professor Qi replied.
The braised pork on the table did not arouse his suspicion. Recently, there were many wild boars available for trade at the base, and the price was one-third cheaper than before. Ordinary people could occasionally afford to eat some meat, let alone people like Lin Yue who were capable.
As for kimchi, if it was stored properly, it's perfectly normal that it's still edible now.
After the three finished their meal, Lin Yue poured cold boiled water for Professor Qi.
There's no way around it; once the water boils, it cools down very quickly, and even a thermos can only keep it from freezing.
Cang Yu didn't disturb the two of them. Instead, he washed the pots and pans and wiped the stove in the kitchen, even though the stove wasn't dirty.
"This young man is not bad," Professor Qi said, looking towards the kitchen.
"Yes! It's really good in that respect," Lin Yue replied with a smile.
Cang Yu did a good job in this regard. From the first time they ate together, he was the one who cleaned up the dishes and never missed a meal.
"Mentor, is there something you need?" Lin Yue got back to the point.
"It's nothing else, I just wanted to invite you to join the research team, not to the hospital, but to join the research team for the drug you gave me last time." Professor Qi looked at Lin Yue with great anticipation.
Lin Yue is truly talented. The three people currently studying under him only rely on book knowledge.
Of course, it's not that relying on book knowledge is wrong, but researchers need to know how to extend their knowledge beyond the basics and how to apply what they've learned to other situations. But those people don't know that at all.
Moreover, the books and documents are incomplete now, and many things cannot be found. They all require previous accumulation, but these three people can't even remember the basic knowledge. If they can't find it in the book, they say it's not in the book and they don't know it. They won't listen to others and only believe in him. They are even more stubborn than this old man.
It's not that he's unwilling to teach, but his two other students already know this most basic knowledge very well, so they can teach it. He can use the time saved to do more things.
In the past, he would have kicked them out immediately, but now he was short-handed. Although the three of them could only follow the instructions in the book, they could still do some simple and basic things.
The other one was planted by the base chief. All his work required the base's support, and he had to endure it if he wanted to develop the drug.
If Lin Yue could join, his life would be much easier; so in a way, he did have his own selfish motives.
"Professor, is it that we're out of medicine?" Lin Yue didn't answer Professor Qi's question, but asked another one.
She knew her advisor wouldn't come to her for no reason; this wasn't like before, where casual visits were no longer allowed.
She guessed that it might be another attempt to persuade her to go to the hospital, but she never expected it was for the sake of researching the drug, which forced her to think that way.
"No, it's not that the medicine is unavailable, it's..." Professor Qi explained the current situation.
After saying this, Professor Qi sighed deeply, revealing his profound sorrow.
Lin Yue felt no resonance; she simply looked at Professor Qi and thought that while such a professor was indeed admirable, that was all.
"Mentor, is it absolutely necessary for you to research this medicine?" Lin Yue asked.
"Of course, this is research that could save many lives, and I must figure it out," Professor Qi said resolutely.
"Mentor, what do these people have to do with you? I'm not saying you can't research saving lives, but this is the apocalypse, everyone is in danger, and no one will remember your contributions. Besides, even Chief Cao doesn't support you and assigned you such an assistant, so why do you insist on doing research at this time? I understand your thoughts, but I can't understand your actions," Lin Yue expressed her disapproval.
The current situation clearly shows that the base leaders do not want to conduct research. No matter how much the mentor insists, it will be useless. It might even make people think that this is a meaningless research project. Continuing to do so will only be counterproductive, and there is no guarantee that it will yield any results.
