Chapter 654 A bunch of good examples
When Li Ye, Wen Leyu and Fu Yiru arrived at the University of California, they saw hundreds of international students, and some people were coming in groups of three or four and happily joined the crowd.
So he asked Zhen Rongrong: "Are there so many mainland Chinese students studying at UCLA?"
Zhen Rongrong pursed her lips and said, "Some of them came here from other schools, and some have already graduated but haven't returned to China yet."
“.”
Before going abroad, Zhen Rongrong was angry because Li Ye asked her whether she would come back or not. She felt that Li Ye was questioning her character as an old party member.
But when she arrived at the lighthouse, she deeply understood why Li Ye had doubts.
Not to mention the material gap such as skyscrapers and modern cities, the many "pioneers" stranded at the lighthouse set a good example for Zhen Rongrong and others who came later to "strive for higher places".
This thing is just like the cruel environment during World War II. If there is one informer among a hundred people, he is a traitor, but if there are twenty informers among a hundred people.
What about the moral bottom line of the other eighty people?
Whether to be a girl who eats spicy food and drinks wine, or a girl with a red heart who eats tree bark, is a question that tests human nature very much, and may be even more obvious than the effect of chili water.
For example, the situation Zhen Rongrong is facing now, the thought, “If no one else returns to China, wouldn’t I be a fool if I did?” is definitely not an isolated case.
"Okay, stop thinking about those things and help move the things quickly, or you won't be able to make it in time for the New Year's Eve dinner."
Li Ye noticed Zhen Rongrong's loneliness, so he called on her to help move things down from the pickup truck so that they could add a few dishes for the upcoming dinner.
"Li Ye, why did you buy so many things? And so many vegetables, you are really... ah."
"You can't just come with a mouth, right? I'm not that kind of person."
After seeing the meat and vegetables in the pickup truck, Zhen Rongrong really didn't know how to praise Li Ye.
Although it would certainly be inappropriate to come to the dinner empty-handed, Li Ye brought too many things.
Especially the more niche vegetables.
In the lighthouse, some vegetables are very cheap, such as potatoes, but some vegetables are extremely expensive, such as water spinach.
After living here for a long time, many international students want to eat a plate of green leafy vegetables even more than having sex.
"Wow, Rongrong, did you win the lottery? How did you get so many vegetables? I can make dumplings stuffed with chives and eggs today!"
"My classmate brought it here. He felt embarrassed to come and eat it for free."
"Wow, did your classmate join some big company? So wealthy? I saw Xia Zhemin just now. Did you know? He joined Boeing, and his starting annual salary is 32,000 US dollars!"
"My classmate came to Dengta for an exchange internship. The internship company offers good treatment."
"So will he stay at the Lighthouse after his internship?"
"Probably not. He's going back to the mainland."
"Ah! That's no future! Why don't you stay at the lighthouse?"
“.”
Zhen Rongrong smiled awkwardly and turned her head to look at Li Ye.
In the end, Li Ye was not angry at all. Instead, he led Wen Leyu and Fu Yiru to join the students who were making dumplings, some chopping the stuffing and some rolling the dough.
Li Ye understood the principle that people go to high places and water flows to low places. Everyone has their own aspirations. If you think this is the high place, then just go.
Moreover, when the window for international students was first opened, the authorities had taken this situation into consideration. Even if only two or three out of ten students return, the mainland will still make a profit.
People who are willing to work are welcome everywhere. After Li Ye took over the task of chopping stuffing from a boy whose arms were sore, everyone quickly became familiar with each other.
When Sister Zhen arrived, the party became even more lively.
"Hey, classmate, can you kill a chicken?"
"What?"
Li Ye was wielding two kitchen knives when suddenly a girl came over with a red face asking for help.
The girl said embarrassedly: "Some overseas Chinese gave us a few live chickens, but we couldn't kill them."
Li Ye nodded and said, "I will kill the chicken, but are you sure those students from Dengta won't think we are too cruel?"
Today, overseas students from the mainland got together for a party, and some students from other countries also came to join in the fun.
Some lighthouse people don't like killing, so if Li Ye performs bloodletting and hair perming on the spot, I wonder if it will cause psychological discomfort to some people.
"No, no," the girl shook her head like a rattle and said, "We killed them ourselves in the corner over there. But we have four chickens in total and one has already flown away."
Li Ye couldn't refuse, so he followed the girl and saw three roosters with their claws tied to their legs, and a few classmates who looked worried.
Looking at the desperate expressions on their faces and the roosters with their heads held high and their chests puffed out, Li Ye could imagine what had just happened.
This is not the children's fault. Although they may cook at home, the job of killing chickens is usually done by the adults in the family and the children cannot help.
Li Ye was a chef at Zaojun Temple, so killing chickens was definitely a piece of cake for him. With a few quick moves of the knife, he cut the throats of two chickens and let them bleed.
But just when he was about to kill the third one, he suddenly heard a high-pitched scream, and his hands trembled in fright.
"Ah~, how can you be so cruel?"
Who the hell is so shameless.
Li Ye held a knife in one hand and a chicken in the other, and turned his head angrily to look over.
Yes, it was an acquaintance, it was Miss Ruan Shujun who was weak after giving birth.
Before Li Ye could say anything, Wen Leyu, who was helping on the side, said unhappily, "If you think it's cruel, then don't eat it later. You were so startled that Li Ye almost cut off his hand."
"But. But that is a life."
Ruan Shujun grabbed the corner of her clothes with a wronged look, as if she was about to burst into tears at the next moment, looking like an extremely weak Madonna.
Sister Zhen stood up and looked at Ruan Shujun sarcastically and said, "Ruan Shujun, you even have compassion for the life of a chicken, what about the life of a human being?"
“.”
Ruan Shujun's tears flowed down. A few days ago, she had personally killed the life of a human baby.
"Tian Xizhen, why are you still so aggressive when you speak! Hehe, Xiao Ruan is soft-hearted and can't stand killing, so just don't bother with him!"
A tall man walked up from behind Ruan Shujun and called out Sister Zhen's name with a smile.
Sister Zhen narrowed her eyes and asked calmly, "Xia Zhemin, is your current job very free? It's eight hundred miles from Seattle to here, and you actually have time to come and join in the fun?"
The man named Xia Zhemin spread his hands and said, "Thanks to the lighthouse's work system and convenient transportation, I only need to work five days a week, and flying here doesn't waste any time at all."
Li Ye narrowed his eyes and remembered the name Xia Zhemin.
Boeing is a big company now!
Xia Zhemin also noticed Li Ye's look and took the initiative to come over and extend his hand: "Hello, Xia Zhemin."
Li Ye raised the kitchen knife in his hand and said, "Li Ye, it's not very convenient to kill a chicken."
“Hehehe~”
Xia Zhemin smiled and said, "Did you just come here to study this year? I studied at Tsinghua University in China, and I got my master's degree at UCLA. Now I work at Boeing."
Li Ye said calmly: "I am from Beijing University in China. I don't know where I will study for my master's degree, but if I work, it must be in China."
“.”
Xia Zhemin's eyelids twitched for no reason.
Kyoto University?
Are you challenging Tsinghua University?
