When Chen Jin was in college, she was obsessed with studying and she really didn’t know there were so many social activities for college students. As she listened to teachers Chang and He introducing them to her one by one, all she could think about was: Am I attending the same university as my classmates?
"As for popularity, the students from the Chinese and Music departments are the most popular. If you go to the playground at night, you will see that they often hold activities there. There is also a few bands on the lawn near the school swimming pool. I think their creations are good and they sound nice."
"What you said about holding social activities in the school classroom is old-fashioned. Nowadays, students go out for social activities, such as going to the park, rowing boats, and climbing mountains. Isn't it better to develop relationships?"
Teacher Chang almost blurted out "You haven't been there when you were dating", but fortunately he stopped himself from saying it. Who in the college who is a little gossipy doesn’t know about the breakup between Chen Jin and his ex-girlfriend? He said that it might just be rubbing salt into someone's wounds.
Chen Jin learned his lesson, "No wonder everyone is running away."
It's fine to participate in social activities, but it's not okay to skip classes and delay your studies because of social activities.
Chen Wei went to make surprise checks on students' attendance in class for two consecutive days. Seeing that she went to the teachers several times to find out the situation, the students finally behaved themselves for a while.
After a weekend, it was time for the school sports meet.
When Chen Jin went out this morning, she received Shen Baichuan's encouragement of "Come on!", and she even laughed after getting in the car. Why did she need to add more gas? She was probably eliminated in the first round.
You were absolutely right. On the first day of the sports meet, neither of the two events she signed up for made it to the finals. But what is worth celebrating is that she actually made it to the semi-finals and was just a little bit away from the finals.
After the competition, she returned to her college's base camp and said with a smile, "I didn't expect my results to be so good."
The other three counselors looked at her and nodded in agreement, saying "yes". Teacher Chen is really an optimistic person.
When Chen Jin participated in the competition, she didn't think of taking out her camera and asking someone to help her take photos. After the competition, she took a lot of photos for others, and then a group of teachers asked her for film to develop the photos.
The college leaders were pleased and said: "We still need some young teachers to inject vitality."
On the last day of the sports meet, everyone agreed to go and cheer for Zhou Ding. After all, he was representing the School of Arts in the 5,000-meter race, and regardless of whether he could win a place or not, his courage was commendable.
But Chen Jin looked at the big red flower that was stuffed into his hand and heard everyone say to shake it so that Zhou Ding could see them. Chen Jin didn’t quite understand.
Seeing the students from their college crowding over, Chen Jin hurriedly handed over the big red flower in his hand, took the camera and hurried away, making the excuse that he was going to take some photos of Zhou Ding as a souvenir.
Finally, there were many photos of Zhou Ding running with his teeth bared, and there were also photos of Shen Baichuan running with his hair like a hedgehog. She thought the photos looked pretty good when she took them, but she didn't expect that after they were developed, she was too embarrassed to give them away.
Alas, I wonder if the teachers who took the film to develop the photos will destroy the film because her photos were so ugly.
"Look at what your neighbor is grinning at?" Yang Qian stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Chen Jin.
Chen Jin touched his face and said, "I'm not smiling foolishly. You're just talking nonsense."
"You know whether you are talking nonsense or not. Do you remember what you said before that you would not embarrass yourself?" Yang Qian looked at her suspiciously. Unfortunately, it was too difficult to pry information out of Chen Jin's mouth. No matter how hard she tried to interrogate her, she couldn't get anything out of her. It would be better to go home and find Zhuo Jiyu to ask about Shen Baichuan's situation, so that we can find out faster.
"You think too much. I just thought of some photos, hehe." Chen Jin couldn't even look directly at Teacher Shen now. He should hide the photos. If Teacher Shen saw them, he might really get angry like a hedgehog.
Anyway, when she gave the photos to Zhou Ding, Zhou Ding directly asked her for the film, saying that he wanted to keep it as a souvenir. Chen Jin felt guilty, so he handed over the film anyway.
Several teachers in the college had complicated expressions when they saw her, probably because they knew that what she said about "her photography skills are okay" was nonsense.
In fact, it’s not that her photography skills are bad. Usually, when she takes a casual photo, the person is standing still and doesn’t move around quickly…
"Oh, I see." Yang Qian couldn't help laughing, "I went to the college to look for Professor Jiang, and heard a teacher say that your photos were too ugly, and you could only find one normal one out of ten."
"I thought about it a long time ago. They haven't returned the film to me." But they still gave her some food as compensation. The teachers were still good-tempered. Anyway, the teacher wanted to give her money for the film, but she was too embarrassed to accept it.
"You said before that you were going to take wedding photos. When are you going? The weather now is very suitable for taking photos outside." Yang Qian said, "Call me when the time comes. Also, Lin Xinran and Chen Lu are going to the National Forest Park this weekend. Do you want to go?"
"Who else?"
"Feng Zhen, Mei Wang, and Qin Siming, a graduate student in psychology, live in the same dormitory with Feng Zhen and his friends."
"Oh, I noticed that you have a very good relationship with your roommates and classmates now." In the past, Yang Qian was almost elusive in the dormitory and class, and I never saw her getting along so well with her roommates and classmates. Will you go out and play together on weekends?
Yang Qian: “It was different before.”
She and Zhuoran were classmates and lovers before. Except for going back to her own room at night, she usually went in and out with Zhuoran, which invisibly cut off many opportunities for communication with other people. Even Chen Jin and Lin Xinran only started to interact with each other after they broke up with Zhuoran.
Yang Qian said with emotion: "Now I feel that old men also have advantages. They are not so childish in doing things."
He felt embarrassed when he thought of the things Zhuoran wrote in the letter he sent back, such as "breaking free from the shackles and regaining freedom" and "traveling thousands of miles for his ideals". Zhuo Jiyu said that if he were to be separated from the high living expenses that he had to pay outside, which were several times higher than others, he would know what freedom and ideals were.
The topic had gone off topic, Yang Qian glared at Chen Jin, "Don't change the subject, are you going or not?"
"No, it's my birthday this weekend, and my family is coming over to eat at my place."
She has moved into her small Western-style house for a year, and several of her elders have never come to her place. They said it was a good opportunity for her birthday so that they could get together for a meal and come and see her small Western-style house.
Yang Qian frowned, "It's your birthday this weekend, why didn't you tell me in advance?"
"It's not a big day, there's nothing to say." Chen Jin put down his chopsticks, yawned, and said, "Don't give me a gift, so that I don't have to think of what to give you on your birthday."
It's impossible that someone gave her a gift and then she wouldn't return the gift when the time comes, right? It’s too troublesome. The best thing is that no one sends it, so that everyone can save themselves the trouble.
Lin Xinran and the others were not here today, so Yang Qian asked her directly: "Do you have a piece of land in Qiaoxi Village?"
"Yeah, you know all this?" Chen Jin was surprised. Yang Qian didn't seem like the kind of person who would care about where she owned real estate.
"I didn't know it at first, but I heard Teacher Shen call Zhuo Jiyu several times and asked about the land in Qiaoxi Village. Didn't you say before that you moved your household registration to the next village? I guessed it."
"Teacher Shen called to ask about Zhuo Jiyu's Qiaoxi Village? Isn't Zhuo Jiyu in the logistics business? Does he also know about real estate?"
Yang Qian nodded, "It's mainly logistics, but we also have a real estate company."
"Oh." Chen Jin asked again whether logistics was easy to do now and whether he would encounter robbery on the road.
After finishing the meal and leaving the third canteen, Yang Qian realized belatedly that Chen Jin had avoided the topic. Was he afraid that she would continue to ask about Teacher Shen and her? She said she had no idea. Humph, she would just wait and see if she would slap herself in the face in the future.
Later in the academy, Chen Jin met Mei Wang and Yang Qian's classmates again. He nodded and smiled and was about to leave, but Mei Wang caught up with him, "Chen Jin."
Hearing this address, Chen Jin frowned. Why not call her "Teacher Chen"?
"I heard from Yang Qian that you will celebrate your birthday at home with your family on Saturday. We have changed our plan to go to the Forest Park on Sunday. Do you want to go with us?" Mei Wang caught up and asked.
Chen Jin raised his eyes and looked at Mei Wang steadily. It could be seen that Mei Wang had a cheerful and active personality and could get along with everyone, a character that most people liked. The way they are dressed doesn't seem like that of an ordinary family, so their family conditions should be pretty good.
She has no intention of dating for the time being, but she is not stupid and is very sensitive. She can actually grasp other people's attitudes towards her very quickly. She met Mei Wang and others in the cafeteria several times. Mei Wang took the initiative to talk to her, and his thoughts were written on his face. Unlike Shen Baichuan, who was relatively reserved at first, it took her a long time to figure it out.
Suddenly I remembered what Yang Qian said when I was having dinner with her two days ago: "Now I think older men also have advantages, they are not so childish in doing things."
When she was young, she liked people who were positive and hardworking. Now she also prefers people who have methods and mature thinking.
"I won't go. I have other plans this week. Does Mei have anything else to say?" Chen Jin pointed to the meeting room in front and said, "I still have to go to a meeting."
"Oh, that's fine. You go ahead and do your work."
Chen Jin added: "I think it's better for you to call me Teacher Chen in the academy. Privately, we are all the same age, so it doesn't matter how you call me. Then I'll leave first."
Go around him and go straight to the meeting room in front.
Teacher He poked her arm and asked quietly, "Does that boy want to pursue you?"
"Whether he wants to or not is his own business. Anyway, I don't want to." Her attitude was very clear. What she thought was other people's business.
"If you don't reject me explicitly, people will think there's still hope. Just wait and see." Teacher He was obviously very experienced in this area, and continued, "It is said that a strong woman is afraid of a clinging man. By then, he will buy you flowers and food every day, and will also ask about your well-being..."
Chen Jin laughed and said, "Do I need this little bit of food? I go to the market to buy a cart full of flowers. Can a few bouquets of flowers move me? Forget about caring about me. I need people to care about me. I can hire a few nannies and they will promise to care about me every day." In short, this trick could not impress her.
"So you young people just think too simply. If there's a man hanging around you every day, people around you will mistakenly think he's your partner. After a while, people will even say you're being too reserved for not wanting such a good man..."
Chen Jin directly asked back: "If there was a man who came around me every day and gave me flowers and food and drinks, would you also think that I was ungrateful?"
Glancing at Zhou Ding and Teacher Chang.
The three of them were stunned for a moment, thought about it, and then shook their heads.
They will only think that this man will not cry until he sees the coffin.
"That's all." Chen Jin said, "Some things don't need to be said. Smart people should understand. People who are not smart, well, just don't dance in front of me."
Saturday.
Chen slept until eight o'clock this morning and the house had already been tidied by her. After all, she was the only one at home, and she often threw various things aside. Today, many people came, so the living room and backyard had to be used, and she had to put the dolls on the sofa in neat order.
At nine o'clock, Chen Jin received a call. His uncle and his friends arrived at the gate of the community and drove four cars over, but were stopped by the security guard.
Chen Jin quickly called the security guard, "Yes, yes, they are my family members. Please help them find the way. Just park the car in the open space next to the gate."
Professor Song's family is also hosting a dinner party today. These are former students of President Xi who have made an appointment to come visit him together. It is said that these students are different from ordinary students and are considered his direct disciples, so they come to visit with their families.
As a result, there are not enough parking spaces for their row.
Chen Jin quickly changed his clothes and went downstairs, leaving the gate open. He first greeted the guests who came to Professor Song's house, and then he saw Chen Yongan running out from the corner carrying two large bags of things, as if he was running on Hot Wheels.
Third aunt said that she was not worried about him messing around with female classmates at school. Indeed, there was no need to worry. Chen Jin felt that the only thing on his mind was the video game console.
"Third sister!" Chen Yongan ran over with a laugh, and then asked, "Guess what we saw when we went out today?"
Guess guess! Chen Jin wanted to reach out and pull his ears, but found that this guy had suddenly grown taller without him knowing, and it was difficult for him to reach his ears.
"If you keep asking me to guess, I'll tear your head off and stomp on it. Do you believe it? Tell me, what did you see?"
The Rose Garden is a smaller version of Qiaodong Village. She counted the people living in the Rose Garden one by one and found that several of them might have news.
“Hehehe!” Chen Yongan laughed to himself first, then said, “Mrs. Chen San brought back a son from her daughter and said she wanted to adopt him to Chen Wenxing. Then Chen Wenxing’s wife started fighting with them, and Chen Wenxing was beaten the worst.”
Just this news?
Chen Jin said: "Mrs. Chen San didn't bring back a son for Chen Wenxing directly from outside, but just brought back a grandson. This is considered a great improvement for her as a person."
"Hiss, Third Sister, you are right. If the one brought back was Chen Wenxing's son who was born outside, what do you think... Oh, yes, Aunt Zhou has already heard the news and rushed to the Rose Garden to watch the fun."
As expected of Aunt Zhou, her attitude towards joining in the fun is very positive.
Suddenly I felt that I should go to the Rose Garden to celebrate my birthday today. My eldest uncle and third uncle’s homes are over there, so it would be so convenient to go there. You can also watch the fun. If I missed it, I can only talk to Aunt Zhou another day to find out the situation.
As we were talking, my uncle and his family came over, carrying a lot of things. It's basically vegetables and fruits. Everyone bought the vegetables when they came over. We have to buy more since we are going to have two meals today.
However, when Chen Jin saw that his aunt and uncle were also here, he felt a little upset. When she called, her aunt said she couldn't come, which was exactly what Chen Jin wanted. She was also afraid that they would cause trouble on such a good day as her birthday.
After all, every time the family gets together, there are always things happening.
Today, if anyone announces "good news", she will sweep that person out with a broom.
