A good start
Chen Jin, Chen Lu and Lin Xinran learned a lot about the schedule and course selection for night school. The two people studied different courses. Lin Xinran studied a marketing course. From what she said, there is a big difference between marketing and sales. As for where the big difference lies, Chen Jin only had a vague understanding.
However, it also gave her a plan, and she still had to find out more about the courses offered by NTU Night School.
"Stop talking. You say studying is difficult because you don't want to study, not because you can't continue studying." Lin Xinran wanted to roll her eyes at her. Who said they didn't like Chinese major while studying hard in college? She didn't like it, but it didn't stop her from getting first place in her major. Similarly, just because she says studying is difficult doesn’t mean she can’t learn well.
I thought I didn’t need to continue studying once I had money, but who knew there was still so much to learn? Otherwise, you may become poor even if you are rich. You have to progress with the times.
Chen Jin has already started thinking about asking Professor Kong to help analyze what professional courses are suitable for her.
The door was open, and there was the sound of a car driving in from outside. As soon as I heard it, I knew it was Shen Baichuan from next door who came back at noon.
As soon as Shen Baichuan turned his car onto the road that led to his own row of small western-style buildings, he saw Chen Jin's car parked in front of her house and knew that she was back. The door inside was open. He took a glance when he got out of the car and went back into the house. When he opened the door to the backyard, he saw Daju sleeping on the table in his gazebo.
It slept peacefully.
As for Chen Jin, Yang Qian got up and went out to take a look. She also saw an extra car in front of the house next door. She turned back and said to Chen Jin, "Your neighbor next door is back."
Facing Yang Qian's teasing smile, Chen Jin shrugged and said, "Then just come back." It's someone else's home, it's normal to come back.
Yang Qian carefully studied her expression, but could not find any flaws. She said, "So far, it seems that you have not slapped yourself in the face. Keep it up."
"A slap in the face? What slap in the face?" Lin Xinran looked up at them.
"It was just a joke." Yang Qian quickly changed the subject and asked Lin Xinran, "Why did Mei Wang want to come to our place to work part-time? He seems to be quite active and doesn't seem to be short of money."
"I don't know, maybe he wants to give it a try. Feng Zhen is going to the agency every day now, Mei Wang must be curious." Lin Xinran glanced at Chen Jin and smiled, "Maybe he wants to get the upper hand, but he made a wrong calculation."
Mei Wang would occasionally bring up the topic of Chen Jin and ask them about Chen Jin's news. Even Chen Lu, who was the most insensitive to emotions, noticed his little thoughts, but his little thoughts were his own business and they didn't care. What they said were things that everyone knew, and nothing else was revealed.
Otherwise, if Chen Jin knew about this, he would never have to come to her house again, or go shopping or get beauty treatments together.
"Oh." Yang Qian understood. She had little contact with Mei Wang and thought that this man had given up.
Chen Jin finished his walk to digest his food. He yawned so hard that tears came out of his eyes. "Are you going back to school now or later? I'm going upstairs to sleep."
Lin Xinran waved her hand, "You go to sleep, we'll stay here, we don't want to go back to the dormitory."
"Okay, do whatever you want." Chen Jindu walked to the corner, and thought of her big orange dog. She turned back and said, "Don't close the back door. My cat will get angry if he can't get in."
Not long after she brought Daju back home, she was so distracted one day that she forgot there was a cat at home. She locked Daju outside the door, making Daju so angry that he hid under the sofa for most of the day.
"I see." Lin Xinran muttered, "Cats take after their owners, they all have bad tempers."
Chen Jin went upstairs to take a nap. While he was sleeping, it suddenly started to rain heavily outside. I opened my eyes drowsily and listened for a while, then was lulled to sleep by the sound of rain and thunder.
Rainy days are really good for taking a nap.
She thought she had slept for the entire afternoon, but it turned out she had only slept for forty minutes. I was too lazy to change my clothes and went downstairs in my pajamas. I found the three of them resting with their eyes closed on the sofa in the living room.
The fatigue on Lin Xinran and Chen Lu's faces was so obvious that it was obvious that they didn't get enough rest. Come to think of it, a person's energy is limited, and there are only 24 hours in a day. If you have to do so many things, you are definitely squeezing your time, and the time for relaxation and leisure will be used to do other things.
Chen Jin picked up the remote control, turned off the TV, and went to look at the backyard, but didn't see his big orange dog. After thinking about it, he went upstairs to call Shen Baichuan. Just after the call was connected, before he could speak, Shen Baichuan said first: “Daju is at my house, I will send it back when the rain stops.”
She just knew it! This cat eats its own food!
"Excuse me, just put it on the gazebo in the backyard when the rain stops. It will come back on its own when it's hungry." After saying that, Chen Jin added, "Just don't feed it."
"......Okay." Shen Baichuan put down the phone, glanced at the big orange tree half buried in the basin in the living room, and touched his nose guiltily.
The rain seemed to have no end. Yang Qian woke up early and sat cross-legged on the sofa in the small living room on the second floor with Chen Jin chatting.
Yang Qian hasn't been paying much attention to the affairs of this organization recently. When she has time, she goes to visit the filming crew she invested in. There were quite a few problems. Some people encountered many unexpected problems during filming, and some crew members took bribes from the young actors. The film and television industry does not have very good profits, especially film making, which makes little profit and loses a lot, but Yang Qian's friends are eyeing this industry, so she is currently investing some money along with her friends. However, judging from Yang Qian's tone, she also seems to be optimistic about the film and television industry.
Chen Jin lamented that everyone seemed to be able to find the industry they wanted to work in, but she thought everything was good, but she was not interested in anything.
"Now that you have money, you can try your hand at any industry and invest a little to see how it goes." Yang Qian said, "I haven't decided yet where I will invest mainly in the future."
"Don't you want to stay in school and be a teacher?" Chen Jin smiled. She remembered that Yang Qian said she wanted to continue studying and stay in school and be a teacher after graduating with a Ph.D.
"This is not a conflict. Look at your neighbor Mr. Shen. He is a teacher and also runs a company." Yang Qian sat up straighter and smiled mysteriously. "Their family is very busy recently. Mr. Shen's cousin returned to China. As soon as he came back, he became an assistant to Grandpa Cheng in Cheng Group. Although he is called an assistant, he is actually training the successor hand in hand."
"There was no commotion at their house?"
"It's a big fuss, but Mr. Shen is very patient. Every day he's either in class or busy with his company's affairs. It seems like his family affairs have nothing to do with him."
But when it comes to the shares of the family company, is it said that Shen Baichuan has no idea at all? No one would believe it, otherwise why would Shen Baichuan come to Rong City as soon as he returned to China, and he would often show up at the Cheng family's old house.
Zhuo Jiyu said that Shen Baichuan must be planning something bad.
Chen Jin smiled and didn't comment. Shen Baichuan was quite able to sit still, because there were always people who were more anxious than Shen Baichuan. After all, his cousin should also be coming to Rong City, right?
It’s really exciting, there are so many exciting things for Shen Baichuan to watch. envious.
The heavy rain lasted until 5:30 in the afternoon. It didn't stop raining outside completely. It was just drizzling, which was much better. Fortunately, the drainage in the community is well done. Even after a few hours of heavy rain, the roads in the community were wet but there was no water accumulation.
She leaned over the back of the sofa and looked down. The gatekeeper of the community was patrolling and checking the situation.
It's just raining heavily today. If there is a strong wind, it is possible that the trees on the roadside will be blown down. This happened last summer vacation. However, she happened to go to Xi'an with Yang Qian and Lin Xinran at that time, and she heard about the tree being blown down by a strong wind from a neighbor when they were out for a walk.
"By the way, your life is too good, isn't it? You can take leave if you want? Didn't the hospital leaders block your request for leave?"
"I'm fine, I don't take leave often. The work is quite light and my boss is easy to talk to." The main reason is that teachers Chang and He in the office take leave frequently because of their children's matters, which makes her look like she is working diligently. There is also a Zhou Ding in the office who almost never takes leave, so the leaders of the hospital often say that young people nowadays are passionate about their work.
What a beautiful misunderstanding.
"Then what do you say? Professor Song next door is inviting us to dinner tomorrow. Your ex-boyfriend and his wife are coming too? You are really careless. Looking at them, can you still eat?"
"Why can't I? I eat even more deliciously. Can you lose your appetite after seeing Zhuoran?"
"That's not the case. He and I broke up peacefully. We didn't reach an agreement before we separated. You didn't... To be honest, when I think about how you cursed in the classroom, I want to sign myself up for a language arts class."
"Haha! Why do you need to sign up for a class? I'll take you to the village to see what's going on there someday. You'll stay there for two days and you'll be able to learn all kinds of language arts." There are so many forms of quarreling in the village, some are straightforward, some are indirect, and some are roundabout. If you choose the same style and learn it in depth, you will be able to develop your own style, and the more you quarrel, the better you will be.
"Also? Who else did you bring to watch the fun?" Yang Qian grasped the point immediately, but did not catch the guilty expression on Chen Jin's face.
Chen Jin waved her hands and said, "Of course he's a friend. I thought I was bringing him to broaden his horizons, but I didn't expect he's so capable." Even the lawyer couldn't win the argument, because he must have seen much more of the world than her.
At this time, Lin Xinran was calling for people on the first floor, and the two of them put on their shoes and went downstairs.
Chen Jin clicked his tongue twice and said, "You can't make enough money, and you can put things aside for a while. You should take a rest."
Look, these two people actually slept sitting on the sofa for four hours. If I go to bed, I will have to sleep until tomorrow morning, right?
"Well, the rain has stopped, you guys can go now." Chen Jin started to chase the guests away.
"I want to have dinner at your place..."
Chen Jin chuckled twice, "Don't think I didn't hear you calling just now. Zhuo Jiyu is waiting at the gate of the community now, right? You should go home and go back to school. There is only enough food in my house for me."
The vegetables she bought were not enough for four people, and she didn't want to go out to buy vegetables or go out to eat, so she had to chase the customer away.
Chen Jin’s reasons are always so real and irrefutable. Can I go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables? Chen Jin would definitely tell them to buy it themselves, and she would definitely not go out.
This friend is sometimes just too lazy to go out.
"Come back another day."
Yang Qian went to the sofa to get her bag, and suddenly looked at the dolls on the sofa, then looked around, but didn't see anything. "Hey, Chen Jin, didn't you put your favorite panda doll here before?"
When she came over and saw it, she liked it too and asked Chen Jin where he bought it. However, Chen Jin said that this was the last one she bought, and some of them had other specifications. When she went to the place Chen Jin mentioned, she found that she couldn't buy the same specifications. The rest were either too big or too small, and didn't look that interesting.
"Oh, for a friend."
"Ah... If I had known you were willing to send your friend off, I would have asked you." Yang Qian still felt a little regretful. But the next second, Chen Jin directly helped her to break this regret, "I won't give it to you even if you ask, so don't think about it."
She won't give it to others when they ask. She always sends it on her own initiative.
After sending them out, Chen Jin went back to the backyard to pick up the cat, but he didn't see it, so he had to ring the doorbell of the house next door.
He grabbed the back of the orange tree's neck with one hand and lifted it up. After thanking Shen Baichuan, he wanted to say a few more words, but when he heard the voice of the little carrot head coming back from school, Chen Jin hurriedly said, "I'm going home first. I won't say any more."
He ran back home like a puff of smoke, and closed the courtyard gate and the main gate tightly.
Outside, the little radish heads rushed over, circled around Chen Jin's car, looked up and asked Shen Baichuan who was standing at the door, "Teacher Shen, has Teacher Chen returned home?"
Shen Baichuan’s expression did not change, and he said firmly: “No.”
"Oh. Teacher Chen hasn't come back yet. Then let's go to Grandpa Shen's house to find Xiaobai!"
"Go! Xiaobai! Here we come!"
Chen Jin put the big orange on the ground and checked whether its paws and body were dirty. After finding no dirt, he seriously taught it not to go to Teacher Shen's house all the time, and said sternly: "If you do this again, you will move your nest to Teacher Shen's house."
The big orange dog fell to the ground with its four paws facing the sky, looking like a scoundrel. Chen Jin was so angry that he rubbed it for a while before going to cook.
I don't know if her words worked, but the big orange dog didn't run to the backyard anymore. When he saw her go to the study to read, he actually followed her happily. Normally, he disliked going into the study, probably because there were more books than ornaments in it. Besides, Chen Jin was very quiet when she was reading in the study, and she didn't allow him to jump around in the study, let alone flip through the books on the bookshelf and desk.
Chen Jin glanced at the big orange dog lying on the table with its belly exposed, and said, "We've turned on the TV for you downstairs, go watch it yourself."
After waiting for a long time, Daju was still here with her, so Chen Jin softened her heart, rubbed his belly, and said: "Look, I didn't stop you from going out to play with other children, right? You can't always go to other people's homes, it's not good..."
Chen Jin feels that some cats and dogs can understand human language, and will listen if you talk to them nicely. If you don't listen, then you may just be able to "become a filial son under the stick".
The next day was Saturday, and the community was much busier. Some young people lived outside for the convenience of work, so they took advantage of the weekend to come and visit the elderly and bring their children back.
As there are more children in the community, the elderly in the community also become happy and everyone outside is in a good mood.
Around nine o'clock, Chen Jin had breakfast at home before changing clothes and going out.
The young people who came today were either the children of Professor Song’s old friends or students. It was impossible for them to dress casually when they came as guests, and she certainly couldn’t dress casually either.
As soon as she went out, she saw someone walking towards her carrying large and small bags. The person greeted her, so Chen Jin quickly greeted him as well.
Professor Song heard the voice and came out to introduce himself.
"I remember you, Xiao Chen, right? Last time I came to visit, your family was hosting a party. Professor Song mentioned to us that the family next door is also a teacher from our Nanjing University. Hey, this girl is also from Nanjing University. She came with us today to play, you young people have something to say."
Chen Jin made eye contact with the girl next to him, and both of them forced out awkward smiles under the gaze of their elders.
Professor Song said, "Sihua, you and Xiaojin come over and play. You young people can have fun together." Then he invited his old friend into the house to chat.
Chen Jin and Zhang Sihua, who stayed behind, both exclaimed that without the teachers and elders around, they felt much more at ease and they even introduced themselves again.
"I've seen you in school before. You often go to the corner on the third floor of the library to study. I see you many times when I go to the library to borrow books. I didn't expect you to be in the Chinese department." Zhang Sihua glanced at the house behind her and pointed, "Is this your home? Is your family home too?"
"If we're at home, how about we go out to the coffee shop outside the school and sit there?" Zhang Sihua said a little embarrassedly: "I don't want to go out, but my mother insisted on dragging me out to broaden my horizons."
Zhang Sihua stuck out his tongue. "I am from the Foreign Languages Department. I can't talk to those who study physics. Whenever I followed my mother to meet old friends, I was always asked about physics. Oh my God! How should I know? I never passed the physics exam before. Just because my mother is good at physics doesn't mean I will be good at it too..."
This guy is really good at chatting, and he talks a lot.
But after listening to her mumbling, Chen Jin felt that this person was still okay. Seeing that no one else had come yet, it would be uncomfortable for the two of them to go to Shen Baichuan's house, so Chen Jin took the person home.
"Professor Song arranged for the young people to go to the house next door, but we can wait until others arrive before going there. Oh, I live alone at home."
After entering the house, Chen Jin asked her to sit wherever she wanted and went to find something to drink. "What do you want to drink? Boiled water or a beverage?"
"Let me take a look." Zhang Sihua was very familiar with the situation. He took a bottle of Coke from the open refrigerator and whispered, "I'm already such a grown-up, and my mother still controls what I eat and drink. Anyway, she can't see it, so I'll drink more."
Zhang Sihua didn't look around, but sat upright on the sofa. "I really envy you for being able to live on your own. I want to move to the school dormitory. It's inconvenient to do anything at home with my mom watching me."
And when she got home from class, basically, her mother also got home from class, so they went together.
"You don't study physics, but if you listen to them talking about physics, wouldn't you feel annoyed?"
Chen Jin thought for a moment and said, "Actually, I used to like physics, but I didn't choose the right major, so that's it. It was okay when I listened to it. I didn't understand it, but I thought it was a bit interesting. Besides,"
Chen Jin said frankly: "I just want to make more friends. It doesn't matter whether you understand me or not."
She just felt that her small circle was too narrow. When she was not completely sure in which direction she wanted to work towards, she wanted to look at other people's choices and get to know more people.
"Yes, my mom also told me to go out and make more friends, and not stay in the Foreign Languages Department all the time." Zhang Sihua said, and laughed, "Is this a good start for me?"
Chen Jin was stunned for a moment, then realized what Zhang Sihua meant and smiled, "It's mutual. We both have a good start."
Maybe because of their similar personalities, they could talk with great interest about the food in the school cafeteria. Chen Jin also had some experience in eating out and even recommended a restaurant outside the school to Zhang Sihua. A lot of stores outside also mentioned it.
They were so engrossed in the conversation that they almost forgot that Professor Song's family was hosting a dinner party today. It was not until the phone at home rang and Shen Baichuan called her to come over that Chen Jin remembered.
Her little orange dog was originally lying on the chest of drawers. When he heard Chen Jin say that they were going to Teacher Shen's house, he flipped over and jumped down to follow.
Zhang Sihua was so scared that he almost dropped the Coke in his hand. After seeing that it was a ginger cat, he said with a smile: "I just saw it. I thought it was a doll, but I didn't expect it to be alive."
No wonder it looks so realistic!
But Chen Jin had so many dolls at home, and she thought the one lying on the cabinet was also one of them!
Chen Jin smiled helplessly, "It's always like this."
So we don’t use tablecloths or carpets of similar colors at home anymore.
The door of Shen Baichuan's house was open. As soon as she entered the house, she saw two people sitting on the sofa in the house and raised her eyebrows.
Wow! Old acquaintance!
Shen Baichuan’s heart skipped a beat: I had a feeling there would be some excitement.
