Chapter 151 I didn't expect it to be a university master
. In the morning.
There were only two spirit stones left in the warehouse. In order to prepare for emergencies, Lin Li came to the community park to practice for the first time in a long time today, practicing the odd-numbered physical chapters.
"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandpa Zhou." Before practicing, Lin Li greeted Zhou Youwei.
Zhou Youwei looked at Lin Li for three seconds and sighed: "You are back after all. I thought you had given up."
Lin Li keenly read the little thoughts of the arrogant old man.
"There is no word "give up" in my dictionary, Grandpa. I am not one of those young people who will give up halfway." Lin Li said proudly.
Of course, the dictionary Lin Li was talking about was his family's Oxford dictionary, which was full of foreign words. Oxford, the ditch, really didn't have the word "give up".
Just like Edison never said the word "give up", after all, this kid can't speak Chinese at all.
As for Lin Li's Chinese dictionary, it was full of things that were not approved.
"Are you stressing that you are young? Things are getting interesting. An old horse is still full of ambition. I will always keep an eye on you and I will not give up." Zhou Youwei stared at Lin Li and issued a battle declaration.
"No problem, I won't let you down." Lin Li will prove his perseverance.
Then he started practicing.
Halfway through the practice, Zhang Fang was walking on the road outside the bushes. After seeing Lin Li and Zhou Youwei, she suddenly remembered something and shouted to the two of them: "Old Zhou, Xiaolin."
"Hey, what's wrong, Grandma Zhang." Lin Li put away his fists and asked.
"Xiaolin, I see that you haven't replied to the message in the community group. Now I ask, will you two go to the community activity room to make moon cakes later?" Zhang Fang asked, and then showed the bag in her hand, which seemed to be raw materials such as flour.
Generally, good property management will organize some activities on holidays, but it is definitely not a treatment that Lin Li's community will have. This activity should be organized by their unofficial neighborhood committee, which pays for it and does not collect the reward.
In old neighborhoods, most of the residents are older and prefer to hold some activities. Whether they are participants or organizers, they can use this to kill time.
In fact, it is just to find an excuse for everyone to get together to do things and chat.
"No, I have no interest in making mooncakes or anything like that." Zhou Youwei waved his hand first.
Lin Li wanted to refuse, after all, it would be better to sleep and study with this time, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, Grandma Zhang, the activity room, right? I'll go after I finish my exercise and take a shower."
Lin Li also had a "body-building and disease-eliminating pill" in his [warehouse], which he planned to give to Wu Min, but the problem was that this thing was like a Chinese medicine pill, and it was extra large. Lin Li had not found a reason or opportunity to let Wu Min eat it in the past few days.
Making mooncakes by yourself might be a good opportunity.
"I'll go too." Zhou Youwei immediately changed his words.
Lin Li and Zhang Fang suddenly turned their heads to look at Zhou Youwei.
Zhou Youwei's old face was still calm: "I'm worried about Lin Li going, I must keep an eye on him."
Lin Li and Zhang Fang were relieved.
The two looked at each other, and everything was self-evident:
Xiaolin, you and Lao Zhou have a really good relationship.
Yes, Xiao Zhou and I have a really good relationship.
...
[Get up before the Mao hour for a month to seriously practice the Eight-stage Body Building Exercise, and before the Chen hour, for at least half an hour in total (11/30)]
After the exercise, he went back to take a shower and change clothes, and materialized the "Body Building and Disease Relief Pill" in advance, wrapped it in a tissue in his pocket, and Lin Li came to the community's activity room.
The "Body Building and Disease Relief Pill" now has a small gap - Lin Li took a little and took it himself, and the taste was just like Chinese medicine, a little astringent and slightly bitter, not delicious.
But there were no magical phenomena, such as feeling the energy flowing in the body.
This way, I can be more assured that my mother will not change after eating it.
There are not many people in the activity room, and as Lin Li expected, basically all of them are the older generation or the older generation, and most of them are grandmothers and aunts. Men are extremely rare here. When chatting, basically no one uses Mandarin, and they all speak the Xiling dialect.
Zhou Youwei hadn't come yet.
Zhang Fang saw Lin Li, walked over, wiped her hands, and asked: "Xiao Lin, do you know how to make mooncakes?"
"I just watched the tutorial, I should be able to." Lin Li said honestly.
Learning on the spot is not bad. Before getting the system, Lin Li's life was all about learning on the spot.
"Okay, let me tell you, here are the materials, here is the flour that has been prepared, the mold is here, and the microwave is over there. Mooncakes are simple to make, and you young people are smart. If you don't understand anything, just ask me or everyone else."
"Okay, thank you grandma."
Zhang Fang smiled and nodded, and then went back to continue making mooncakes while chatting with a few friends.
Just as Zhang Fang left, the only young man present came over and patted Lin Li on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's make mooncakes, I'll take you."
Lin Li: "?"
Who are you sending to, buddy?
As if seeing Lin Li's doubts, the young man hurriedly whispered: "You don't want to become the topic of conversation among grandparents later, do you? Saving me is also saving yourself!"
Lin Li: "..."
Young people in a group of old people are indeed easy to become the focus.
Now many eyes are looking at Lin Li with curiosity.
"Okay." It is indeed better to communicate with young people. Lin Li nodded and followed the other party to the material area.
The fillings provided are few and classic, jujube paste, lotus paste egg yolk, and five kernels. As for the materials of new mooncakes, they are not seen here at all.
These three kinds of mooncakes have their own advantages. Jujube paste tastes better than the other two, lotus paste egg yolk tastes more fragrant than the other two, and the number of five kernels is more than the other two.
Who invented the green and red silk in the five-nut mooncake? Lin Li felt uncomfortable when he saw this thing. Just looking at it, he could smell the sweet taste of sugar.
So he chose only the other two fillings without hesitation.
"What's your name? My name is Zeng Ziang." The young man introduced himself.
"My name is Lin Li."
Lin Li began to take flour and use a rolling pin to make the crust.
He took another look at the size of the mold, and it should be no problem to put the "body-building and disease-eliminating pills" in it.
"Lin Li, are you here alone?" Zeng Ziang asked in confusion while spreading the dough.
"Yeah."
"Why are you so upset that you come here alone to make mooncakes at just seven o'clock in the morning?" Zeng Ziang was even more shocked, "I thought you were forced to come here by your family like me."
Then Zeng Ziang sighed again, "When I just came home from school during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, they treated me like a treasure, but after just a few days, they have already started to dislike me."
Lin Li didn't quite understand Zeng Ziang's situation.
Wu Min has been home for so long, and Lin Li has never disliked her.
As for how our sister Min sees herself, it should be consistent dislike.
"But brother, are you still in school? Graduate student?" Zeng Ziang is young but relatively young, and his appearance has nothing to do with a child. Lin Li would believe if he said he had been working for a few years.
"Now I'm a senior, and I also want to be a graduate student, but after I showed the first draft of my graduation thesis to my teacher once, I gave up." Zeng Ziang shook his head.
"Why?" Lin Li asked curiously.
"Because my tutor said that my thesis has too great strategic significance."
"Then shouldn't I take the postgraduate entrance examination?"
"But he said that the strategic significance is that as long as they find a way to let other countries steal my thesis, they can set their country's technology back ten years. I suspect he is being sarcastic."
"Brother, you can believe in yourself." After a moment of silence, Lin Li encouraged.
"I do believe in myself. I actually think my thesis is okay, but the decision is in the hands of the teacher, and he doesn't listen to me."
"No, brother, what I just meant is that you believe in your own judgment, and your tutor is just being sarcastic, don't doubt it." Lin Li hurriedly explained.
Zeng Ziang: "..."
"Lin Li, has anyone told you that you speak hurtfully?"
"Everyone says so." Lin Li nodded.
Zeng Ziang: "..."
So he is a repeat offender.
"So it's so difficult to write an undergraduate thesis, why should I think about writing a graduate thesis? Am I waiting for an extension? Plus, my English is not good, so I've completely given up on graduate studies." Zeng Ziang returned to the original topic.
"So, brother, are you going to find a job? Are you doing an internship? Are there any ways to make money?" Lin Li asked curiously.
"No, it's hard to find a job now, so I'm taking the civil service exam." Zeng Ziang shook his head, but then complained helplessly: "But the current environment is really difficult. I looked at the positions in our Xiling, and the application ratio is even hundreds to one. I don't know what to say. Only one person is recruited out of hundreds of people. It's crazy.
Alas, the environment was better before. Now there is really no way to survive."
"Indeed." Lin Li nodded, expressing his approval. "In the past, there was no policy, no essay, and you could get ashore as long as you were castrated."
Zeng Ziang: "?"
"That... Lin Li, your past is a bit too past. If it was this past, I might not have taken the civil service exam." Feeling a chill in his crotch, Zeng Ziang was sweating profusely.
The past that I mentioned was a few years ago, while the past that Lin Li mentioned was hundreds of years ago.
"Lin Li, what are you studying now, high school?" Feeling a little behind Lin Li, Zeng Ziang suspected that he would rather be besieged by the older generation than to talk about himself, so he changed the subject.
"Yeah, freshman year." Lin Li nodded.
"What high school?"
"Nansang."
"That's amazing. I missed Nansang by six points in the high school entrance exam, so I could only go to Xiling No. 1 Middle School." After Zeng Ziang praised, he sighed:
"It's great. High school is a magical time. I wouldn't be willing to go back and work hard for another three years, but I will always miss those three years. How do you say that it's not the battlefield that's worth remembering, but the comrades-in-arms."
"Is college life bad?" Lin Li asked after hearing this.
"There must be a good life." Zeng Ziang immediately retorted.
Lin Li: "?"
"Sorry, sorry, you treat me as if I didn't say that." Zeng Ziang immediately shut up.
He deserved to die. How could he pollute an innocent freshman year.
"Ahem, life is definitely a hundred times better than high school. Let me describe it this way. The first seventeen weeks of each semester in college is like being able to go to a top-notch massage parlor to soak your feet anytime... S-do you understand this description? You probably haven't soaked your feet before. Anyway, you just need to know that it's very, very comfortable and enjoyable."
Lin Li sneered in his heart.
Old man, who are you looking down on?
Who hasn't soaked their feet before?
I don't know how many times I've been to a massage parlor, and soaking is even easier.
But Lin Li then asked, "What about after seventeen weeks?"
"Haha." Zeng Ziang suddenly smiled with relief, "College life after the final week is equivalent to drinking all the foot bath water you used in the previous seventeen weeks."
Lin Li: "..."
"If you work hard and don't soak your feet in the first seventeen weeks, then this water won't have any peculiar smell and you can drink it all in a short time."
"But if you soak your feet every day for seventeen weeks, this water...will be particularly difficult and painful to swallow, and it will sore your throat."
Zeng Ziang's first half of the sentence was perfunctory, but the second half was sincere and heartfelt. There was no doubt which part he belonged to.
Lin Li nodded in approval.
What an apt description, it suddenly felt real.
