Chapter 202
In 2002, Qian Ping finally graduated and became a doctor in the Provincial Hospital. During the Chinese New Year, the adults were talking about their own things, and Qian Ping got a disc from somewhere.
Qian Ping mysteriously dragged Jian Li and Wang Yunyun to watch a disc.
“This is going viral.”
As the song "I'll accompany you to watch the meteor shower falling on the earth" played, Qian Ping was intoxicated.
During the entire Chinese New Year period, Qian Ping and Wang Yunyun were obsessed with watching the drama.
After the Chinese New Year, Jian Li went to school and many female classmates were talking about Shancai and Daoming Si.
In recent years, TV dramas have exploded, such as In My Heart, Fairy Wife, Mermaid…
These dramas are also very popular among college students.
Jian Li also read and discussed these things, but she was more busy with her studies. Wang Mengmei occasionally came to the capital to stay with her for a few days, and she couldn't help but call Jian Feng.
"I never saw her working so hard when she was in high school. Now she works from morning till night and her face is so thin from exhaustion."
Wang Mengmei felt sorry for her daughter and wondered why she felt more tired the more she read the book.
I pulled Jian Li, who had been spending the whole night in the library, to ask her why she was so busy.
Jian Li: "I have a lot of classes this year, and I also have supplementary courses on weekends. After class, I still have to draw comics..."
Last year she had two breaks, and Jiang Rou rushed to school to urge her to submit her papers, but Jian Li happened to have a lot of homework that month.
One major essay, three minor essays, a review of an extracurricular book, and the Level 6 exam.
Jiang Rou came over, and Jian Li had to put aside her homework.
"I just don't have the time."
Jian Li didn't feel any regrets, because she wanted to take the extra course and she liked it. But she was really tired.
Wang Mengmei: "...your dad said, why don't you take a break? Can't you apply for an exchange program abroad in your junior year?"
I really can't bear to see my daughter working so hard.
Wang Mengmei felt that everything was a little bit reversed.
Originally, she and Jian Feng wanted their daughter to not work too hard, but now their daughter is so busy all day that she doesn't even have time to rest.
"Why don't you go abroad for a year? Or maybe apply to a foreign school."
Anyway, the family is rich now, and Jian Feng's business is going more and more smoothly. Last year, he also reached a cooperation agreement with the city and county below.
The cost of my daughter going abroad is fully affordable for my family.
Jian Li thought for a moment and said, "Mom, maybe I will consider it later, but not now."
She didn't study business or other subjects. Rather than going abroad, what she needs now is to settle down.
Jian Li's grades were ranked first in the university, and she never asked for leave for her professional courses.
Not long into the second semester of her sophomore year, several professional course teachers asked her indirectly about her future plans.
"Our school's historical research is still at the forefront."
What he meant was that he wanted Jian Li to stay in school and continue her research.
The oldest professor in the college was a retired professor who was rehired by the school. He usually only taught a few classes a week, and when Jian Li handed in her homework, he also expressed this intention.
After discussing with her parents, Jian Li gave the old professor a positive answer.
Jian Li had no objection to studying for a master's degree or a doctorate. Two years of study in college had already made her firm in what she liked.
During the summer vacation of her sophomore year, Jian Li was kept in school by her teacher.
The old professor accepted few students. Jian Li only had a senior sister with a doctorate and a senior brother with a doctorate, and the only one left was a second senior sister with a master's degree.
The old professor's surname is Dong. He has a head full of silver hair and has never been married in his life, but he is in good spirits.
I gave Jian Li a list of books and told her to ask the two senior sisters if she had any questions.
As for why she didn't ask her senior brother, Jian Li knew it as soon as she saw the other person's expression.
The other person's hair was disheveled and he looked like he was tortured by scientific research.
Two senior sisters: "That's what happens when you can't write a paper."
Jian Li: ...
Perhaps after saying this, both of them realized that they were wrong, so they quickly tried to make up for it, turning the topic to each other's personal lives and introducing themselves to each other.
"My name is Han Li."
"My name is He Yang."
Jian Li stretched out her hand: "My name is Jian Li."
Han Li and He Yang laughed: "It's like thunder in our ears."
They will be together for a long time in the future, so Jian Li didn't pretend: "So... do you want an autograph, Senior Sister?"
Han Li rubbed her face and said, "Our teacher Dong has found a treasure."
He Yang: "She was afraid that someone would snatch it away."
You don't need to ask to know that teachers are all vying for someone like Jian Li.
Or why don't you keep him in school before he even enters his junior year?
It doesn't matter how much work you do, I just want to do this to discourage other teachers.
Han Li and He Yang were very friendly to Teacher Dong in their words and deeds, which invisibly made Jian Li, who was still waiting and watching, feel relieved.
She had seen too many supervisors exploiting students in her past life. Of course, it was possible to pursue a master's degree, but it would be bad if she met a black-hearted supervisor.
Han Li and He Yang both have clear eyes, and it's obvious that they have unwavering integrity.
Jian Li: "Sister, am I only going to read books this summer?"
If the only task was reading, she would like to take the book home to read.
Han Li was shocked: "What did Teacher Dong tell you? Just read books? You are just listening to her nonsense!"
He Yang took out the document in a distressed manner: "Several teachers in our school are busy with this matter now. You'd better take a look first. In a few days, Teacher Dong will definitely arrest you."
Jian Li opened it and saw a big red title.
"Regulations on the Reorganization and Integration of History Museum and Revolution Museum".
He Yang kindly explained to the junior sister: "It's called a reorganization, but in fact they plan to shape this part into the largest museum in the country. So the task started last year. The boss has been on a business trip recently to inspect and verify."
Due to historical reasons, some cultural relics have many errors. This time, it is not only about merging the museums, but also about correcting some errors.
Because of this, the preliminary work requires a lot of manpower.
History, archaeology, literature...
Interdisciplinary busyness.
When Jian Li saw the time span above, she gasped.
This is a five-year plan.
This means that, if nothing unexpected happens, this project will basically become her daily work in her future graduate studies.
Han Li comforted her: "Don't worry about it. We will have jobs in the future."
Jane Li spent the entire summer vacation busy.
So when school started, Jian Li received two pieces of news.
One piece of news is that Cheng Yu is going abroad for an exchange for a year.
Another piece of news is that Wang Yunyun will also go abroad for an exchange for one year.
Wang Yunyun and Cheng Yu had asked Jian Li before, and Jian Li said she didn't plan to go.
But Cheng Yu plans to work in the gaming industry. If she doesn't go abroad, there won't be many other industries in China for her to learn from.
Wang Yunyun's going abroad was beyond Jian Li's expectations.
Wang Yunyun had already done some work with her parents. In her own words, she hoped that her works could be circulated abroad, so at about the same time as Jian Li, she took a minor in foreign literature.
Wang Yunyun's current income is enough to cover her expenses for a year away.
Before leaving, Wang Yunyun drank some wine, which was a rare occasion. The slight intoxication from alcohol made her look dazed.
“I want to see further afield.”
Go further.
Wang Yunyun often feels torn. In college, she feels what freedom is. But every year when she returns home, many people still ask her about her car, house, money, whether she is in a relationship, where she will be assigned to in the future, and whether it is possible to arrange a job for her brother...
These topics bothered her greatly.
If studying is just for these things, then what is the point?
Wang Yunyun communicated with her mother once, and not long after, she chose to study abroad.
She hopes to find the answers she can't find right here, somewhere farther away.
Jian Li understood her sister's thoughts and gave her her most sincere blessings.
"Bring more Lao Gan Ma. Oh, and my dad has everything. I'll ask him to pick out some instant seasonings and send them over."
In her previous life, Jian Li also went on business trips abroad. Her biggest feeling when she was abroad was that people would grab everything back then, so why not grab a few cookbooks!
If you make a fish look up at the stars, the fish died in vain.
Wang Yunyun smiled.
Although she has many more friends in college, she still likes her cousin.
Jian Li has a kind of lively popularity.
Wang Yunyun applied for a visa and dealt with school matters, and it was not until the end of October that everything was finally ready.
In December, she will set off.
Wang Yuedong also rushed over from his hometown to send his daughter abroad.
Wang Yunyun went to England.
Jian Li first saw her cousin off, and then saw Cheng Yu off.
Cheng Yu went to Japan.
At the airport, Jian Li followed suit and prepared a large bag of various seasonings for Cheng Yu.
The seasoning market has developed rapidly in recent years. Jian Feng not only makes frozen products, but also adds a lot of things like curry cubes, tomato sauce, boiled fish seasoning packets, and spicy base. Jian Li picked out some of each, packed them separately, and then waited to see if the customs would allow it to pass.
Cheng Yu was so moved that her eyes filled with tears.
"Xiao Li, I'm so scared..."
Jian Li rolled her eyes: "It's too late to say it now."
It has been more than three months since I started preparing.
When Cheng Yu said he was afraid at this time, Jian Li just thought he was expressing his emotions.
Cheng Yu wiped her tears and walked out of the gate crying.
She is still that girl with a very pleasing personality, but it is time for the little girl to grow up.
Jian Li watched Cheng Yu's figure disappear, and she felt like the child she had raised was going out to experience the ups and downs of life.
A mother worries even when her son travels a thousand miles away...呸呸呸呸.
It has been more than a year since Tao Xingjian graduated, and now his temperament has become more mature.
Over the past year, Jian Li and Cheng Yu had not interacted much. Occasionally, they would have dinner parties because of Cheng Yu, but the rest of the time, both of them were busy as if competing with each other.
Tao Xingjian: "Would you like to have a meal?"
As time went by, Jian Li and Tao Xingjian no longer had so many polite words to each other.
"Okay, what do you want to eat?"
The two chatted casually, and Tao Xingjian pushed his glasses, very satisfied with his performance.
So many things happened in the past year that Tao Xingjian had to slow down his pace.
The dark-skinned boy finally mustered up the courage to confess his love to Jian Li before she entered her junior year.
Perhaps because he was afraid that Jian Li would not come out, Kong Fei invited Cheng Yu as well.
The three of them met at a western restaurant. Cheng Yu was looking forward to her steak set meal when she heard Kong Fei confessing to Jian Li in a trembling voice.
"I have liked you for a long time. I didn't dare to say it in high school because I was worried that I was not mature enough. But now I still want to tell you..."
Secret love is too hard. Kong Fei sold hundreds of PHSs and was busy taking care of Jian Li for more than a year. He was disappointed to find that Jian Li did not seem to have any intentions in that regard.
But Kong Fei couldn't wait any longer.
He took the initiative to invite her and finally showed his honesty.
Then he received Jian Li's rejection without hesitation.
"I'm sorry, I don't like you."
This answer made Kong Fei freeze in place.
Jian Li looked embarrassed, after all Kong Fei was different from those who were pursuing her.
"Although I should have expressed my meaning in a more gentle tone, I feel that at this time, any gentleness may cause misunderstanding. So I'm sorry, I don't like you."
"I don't know what gave you the wrong signal before, but I really only see you as a friend."
Jian Li is decisive and resolute. In her two lifetimes, she has never had a clear understanding of love.
Perhaps she herself did not realize that her ego fortress was strong enough to make her break off any relationship that showed any sign of that.
Since her rebirth, Jian Li has only wanted to make her family live a better life. Until now, she has more things to do.
She is not in the mood for romance.
Kong Fei left in a daze.
Cheng Yu swallowed the steak with difficulty and asked Jian Li cautiously: "You really don't like him?"
Jian Li turned around as if she had seen a ghost: "Did I do something that caused misunderstanding?"
All she could think about was that most of her interactions with Kong Fei came from selling pagers. Apart from that, Aunt Lin Hui would ask her parents to bring things to Kong Fei.
Cheng Yu: "So what do you want to talk about?"
Jian Li said distressedly: "I don't know."
Even she herself didn't realize it, Jian Li was so careless that she thought things would work out.
When Cheng Yu got home, she naturally couldn't help but tell her brother about a story about someone who confessed to Jian Li and was rejected.
For the first time in his life, Tao Xingjian chose to save the country through a roundabout way.
He retreated to the role of a friend's brother so as not to arouse Jian Li's suspicion. Then he slowly got to know everything about her and treated her as a friend, neither too close nor too distant.
Watching Jian Li ordering food without any courtesy and glancing at him with a little jealousy that she thought he couldn't see.
Tao Xingjian knew that the other party was probably criticizing him again.
Tao Xingjian served Jian Li a bowl of soup.
"Drink slowly."
Anyway, there is still a long way to go.
He doesn't need to defeat anyone, he just needs to wait here, and when Jian Li is in the mood to do so, he will be the first in line.
