For dinner, Yan Runzhi stewed delicious braised pork.
The best pork belly and three-layer meat are cooked slowly over low heat with dry firewood and stewed until they are shiny and crispy.
Jiang Lin picked up a piece of braised pork and put it in her mouth. The pig skin was chewy, the lean meat was crispy and not dry, and the fat melted in her mouth. The taste was rich and layered, and the taste was sweet, fresh and varied. It refreshed her judgment of the best taste of a bowl of braised pork with red fermented bean curd when she took the college entrance examination.
"Delicious, delicious!" Jiang Lin's eyebrows were curved and her eyes were clear while eating. She felt so happy to be a human being!
Seeing her eat so happily makes people feel that happiness is that simple.
Yan Runzhi specially prepared cold spinach and mung bean sprouts and stir-fried leeks, which can be eaten with braised pork to relieve the greasiness.
Seeing that she was enjoying her meal, Cheng Rushan thought that it was enough to not eat and just look at her, so much so that every time he picked up a piece of braised pork, he thought it was really good, with three layers of meat and perfect appearance, and then he would pass it to Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin ate two bowls of rice and half a bowl of meat. She ate to her heart's content and felt extremely happy.
Cheng Rushan picked up some cold dishes for her and said, "Eat something to relieve your greasy feeling."
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "I'm not tired of it. It tastes delicious."
There is no need to relieve the greasiness, and don't delay me from savoring such delicious braised pork.
Wensheng: "Mom is using meat to attack meat. Looking at a large pot of meat in the afternoon, I no longer feel sick of it."
Jiang Lin laughed, "I'm also surprised. Before, I felt sick just thinking about it, but now I just feel it smells so good!"
Dabao: “Because…”
Xiao Bao: "I know, because I'm angry that they say children are not as good as pigs, hahaha." What do you mean by giving birth to fewer children and raising more pigs? Pigs are better than children? He couldn't figure it out. Anyway, Bao would not trade them for any number of pigs! Bao must be angry and wants to eat the pork!
The adults were all amused by the children.
Wensheng also wanted to put some meat on Jiang Lin so that she would eat more.
Cheng Rushan put the meat in his bowl and said, "Your mother is full. If she eats more, she will feel bloated." He kept staring at her. It would be uncomfortable if she ate too much and felt sick.
Jiang Lin knows that she should eat just enough to satisfy her craving and never eat too much, lest she end up vomiting and that would be a waste.
After dinner, they went out for a walk and visited the embroidery workshop. The women took advantage of the New Year to work overtime to make up for the loss of needlework during the first month of the year.
Jiang Lin wanted to discuss with the person in charge of the show house about trying to make a new product. She combined Yan Runzhi's method of crocheting a scarf with her own knowledge from her previous life and designed some simple patterns similar to handmade lace.
First make a batch of simple handmade cover towels and cover the TV, bookcases, etc. They look nice and clean, and people who are particular about them like to buy them.
This kind of handmade lace was very popular during the Republic of China, but due to the continuous wars and the emphasis on simplicity after the founding of the People's Republic of China, it was basically shelved.
Now that reform and opening up have begun, everything from clothing to home furnishings will be influenced by the world.
Jiang Lin wanted to develop this business first, test the waters domestically, produce high-quality products, register a brand, and then export it to earn foreign exchange.
Jiang Lin is not very interested in being the world's factory of capitalism and being exploited for cheap labor. Labor exploitation is secondary. The most serious problem is pollution. While earning foreign exchange, it also causes great environmental damage to the country.
Inevitably, too many factories of this kind will spring up in a few years, and there is no need for her to get involved. She wants to make exquisite handicrafts, develop better brands, and strive to earn a place in the international market.
Cheng Rushan naturally supported her unconditionally and also gave her some constructive suggestions.
Jiang Lin was pleasantly surprised to find that some of Cheng Rushan's ideas coincided with hers. To be precise, not with hers, but with the development line of the future era - closely following the pace of reform and opening up and vigorously developing foreign trade.
It made her appreciate him even more.
She described it to Cheng Yulian and other women, and the experienced women immediately grasped the key points and took the materials to fiddle with them for Jiang Lin to see. Cotton thread and yarn were wound into shapes, fixed with pins, and then connected with needle and thread to form patterns, or directly crocheted with crochet hooks, all of which could meet Jiang Lin's design requirements.
But there is also the issue of efficiency.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Don't worry, you can try it out after the second day of the second lunar month. When you have the finished product, have someone take it to the provincial capital. I will improve it based on the sales situation. If it works, we will start mass production."
They chatted until half past eight, when Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan went home. Wensheng was singing an opera for his family, while Dabao and Xiaobao were providing the music.
The village had not yet been electrified, so they had to go back to using kerosene lamps, which made the whole family feel a little uncomfortable. Yan Runzhi couldn't do needlework at the moment, and Dabao and Xiaobao didn't like reading because it strained their eyes. Only Wensheng could continue to sing, and everyone listened with great interest.
Jiang Lin and Cheng Rushan went over to listen for a while, then went back to their room to sleep.
After getting on the kang, she leaned against Cheng Rushan's arms and said, "Brother Shan, why don't you try your best to help our commune get electricity as soon as possible?"
Cheng Rushan hugged her and said, "Okay." He always unconditionally supported his wife's requests.
Electricity is not yet widely available in rural areas, but as long as you have the ability, you can still get electricity. The steps are not complicated. First apply, wait for approval from the higher authorities, then pay some money, and the higher authorities will send technicians to lay wires and poles, build substations, etc.
There is a series of work to be done, including selecting electricians, training them, installing electricity meters, collecting electricity bills, etc.
If we want to develop the economy, electricity is essential.
Jiang Lin didn't expect Cheng Rushan to agree so easily. She happily poked his chest with her fingers and kissed his sexy chin. "Brother Shan, you are so nice. You agreed to everything I said."
Cheng Rushan held her up and said, "Wife, your gratitude must be sincere." What's the big deal about kissing the chin? Dare you kiss a little higher?
Who knew that she would move down a little and kiss his Adam's apple, which made him react immediately.
He grabbed her hand, his eyes were tinged with a special and moving light, and his voice was hoarse and sexy, "You are the worst for starting a fire and not being responsible."
Jiang Lin smiled innocently, "I'll be responsible, don't be afraid, my dear, I'll be responsible." She was really addicted to teasing him, she liked to see the way he wanted something but was forbearing.
Tonight, she decided to make him happy.
…
Next is still the busy New Year period. The adults prepare New Year's goods and the children follow suit. As long as they don't talk nonsense or break things, they can basically get something to eat and drink.
Xiaobao and Dabao said that it was boring to come back from the provincial capital, but once they came back, they were like fish in water, and they couldn't be more cool. They took a group of children to skate in the river, break ice to fish, have snowball fights, catch sparrows, and go on adventures in the mountains. There was nothing they couldn't play, except what Jiang Lin couldn't think of.
On the 29th, Yan Runzhi led the family to continue kneading dough, steaming buns, and making steamed buns. In previous years, Jiang Lin helped, but this year everyone agreed not to use her, and Wensheng took over. Jiang Lin couldn't stay idle, so she helped with other things, and even made a small loft with dough, intending to steam it to comfort the children.
At lunch time, Cheng Yunzhi came back from the brigade. His wrists were sore from helping people write couplets, but he enjoyed it and was reluctant to rest.
Jiang Lin greeted him and went out to look for Dabao and Xiaobao. After walking around twice, she saw them in the river in the east.
"I want to blow up a balloon, too! I want to blow it, too!" Several children ran after him.
Jiang Lin saw them blowing up huge white balloons, tying them with hemp ropes and flying them into the sky as kites.
Jiang Lin was embarrassed for a moment. What kind of child has a balloon at this time!!!
She went over calmly and asked the children to go home for dinner.
Some children said to her, "Baoer mother, can you bring us some balloons?"
Jiang Lin: "...Where did you get the balloons?"
"Xiaobao took it out and said it was issued by your school."
Some children were very aggrieved, "Why doesn't our school give it out? Is it that only schools in the city give it out, but schools in the countryside don't?"
This is true. The family planning office in the city distributes free condoms to married women in schools, but women in the countryside are not treated so well and are required to go to the commune hospital to have an IUD inserted.
Jiang Lin coaxed the children in a hurry and then called Dabao and Xiaobao back.
The two brothers were sweating from playing, "Mom, what's going on?"
Jiang Lin: "It's already noon, why don't you go home for dinner? Aren't you hungry?"
Dabao: "We had some steamed buns this morning, so we're not hungry anymore."
Xiaobao laughed: "Mom, do you want to blow up a balloon?"
Jiang Lin was extremely embarrassed, but she couldn't show it, after all, the children didn't know anything. Now that Xiaobao took it out, not only the children, but even most of the adults in the countryside wouldn't know what it was.
She shook her head: "Mom doesn't have that much strength, where did you get it from?"
Xiao Bao smiled at her innocently, "Linlin, don't be angry, I took it from your drawer. I was originally looking for crayons, and I accidentally saw the balloons."
Jiang Lin: “…”
Xiaobao: "I'm sorry, Linlin. I shouldn't have taken your things. I won't do that again."
Xiaobao always knows when he makes a mistake and admits it very quickly without anyone telling him to.
Jiang Lin: “…”
She touched his head and said, "Go find your father to blow it. Mom can't blow it."
Xiaobao nodded, "Okay."
Jiang Lin dismissed the children and took them home to eat.
She also couldn't tell the two children that this thing was not a balloon. After all, if she told them no, they would ask why not, and they were very cunning, and she couldn't stand their questioning.
They met Cheng Rushan who had just returned from the brigade at the doorstep. Jiang Lin winked at him and then looked at the two boys.
Cheng Rushan understood immediately that the two boys had made a mistake, and it was still a bit embarrassing for her to handle, otherwise she could have said it herself instead of winking at him.
Cheng Rushan smiled at her, touched her hand, which was a little cold, so he asked her to go home first and stopped his two sons.
Dabao acted as if nothing had happened. He didn't take the balloon and he didn't do anything wrong, so he felt at ease.
Xiaobao was laughing because he stole the balloon.
Cheng Rushan stretched out his hand, and Xiaobao obediently took it out and put it in his hand.
Cheng Rushan's thick eyebrows trembled. A few years ago, he saw a captain taking free condoms home and giving them to his children as toys. He felt embarrassed, but he didn't expect that his son would follow suit.
He asked, and Xiaobao confessed that he took five from a drawer at home in the provincial capital.
Cheng Rushan: "Why don't you ask your mother?"
Xiaobao thought, if I ask Linlin, she will definitely not give it to them. If the toys and snacks at home are for them, Linlin will put them in grandma's room and will not hide them in her room at all. If she hides in her room, she will definitely not give it to him, so he will have to take it secretly.
Cheng Rushan: "You secretly took your mother's things, this is a serious problem."
Xiaobao's face suddenly became nervous and he didn't dare to smile playfully anymore.
Cheng Rushan: "Confiscate it. Don't brag about it anymore, and don't brag about what others give you."
He didn't explain to them why. His father's authority meant that no means no.
Although he doted on them, they also knew that when their father said no, it was no, and he would not fully explain to them why. They would not play tricks like other children, making a fuss to go back, and if it was confiscated, they would not be able to play.
Forget it, if there are no balloons to play with, just play something else.
Anyway, they still have slingshots, small wooden guns, small cars and so on.
After Cheng Rushan entered the room, Jiang Lin pulled him aside and quietly asked him how to explain to his sons what that thing was and why they couldn't play with it.
Cheng Rushan looked at her and asked, "Want to know?"
Jiang Lin nodded, very curious, "I want to see how you teach your son."
Cheng Rushan: "That knowledge is very profound."
Jiang Lin looked at him, feeling very impressive, and asked him to teach her his special skills.
Seeing her humble and eager to learn, Cheng Rushan smiled, bent down and kissed her, "I won't tell you, this is our men's business."
Hey, hey, hey, what's wrong with you men? Jiang Lin tried to tickle his waist, but he held her in his arms and teased her so much that she couldn't even laugh.
…
The entire first month of the year was spent eating, drinking, visiting relatives, playing, stilt walking, singing operas, and visiting friends. The members were all thinking about the opening of the brick kiln factory and the embroidery workshop, and the gambling that was common in previous years was gone.
Since needlework was not allowed in the first month of the lunar year, embroidery workshops could not open, so Jiang Lin designed some patterns and asked the women to make them after February 2nd, and then send them to the provincial capital for trial.
Jiang Lin's family returned to the provincial capital after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. After a little fun here, everyone basically prepared to go to work and school.
When the provincial university officially opened, the Municipal Intermediate People's Court also tried and sentenced the case of Yao Zhenyu and others for illegally taking the exam on behalf of others.
Yao Zhenyu dropped out of school, was not allowed to take the college entrance examination within three years, and had to compensate the school for one year's losses totaling 498 yuan.
The brigade secretary and team leader of Yaojia Village were dismissed for knowing that someone was taking the exam for someone else but not stopping it and for helping to transfer the household registration and grain and oil relations.
Because the journey was long, no one from Yaojia Village was present, only Yao Zhenyu and her father were present.
After the verdict is announced, Yao Zhenyu’s father can take Yao Zhenyu home after paying a fine.
After lunch at noon, Jiang Lin and others went back to the dormitory to rest and wait for the afternoon class.
At this time, Yao Zhenyu and her father came over to pack up.
Yao Zhenyu looked much more haggard. She used to look like a quiet girl, but now her face was swollen, her eyes were wandering, and she was timid. She stood in the dormitory and bowed to Jiang Lin, "Jiang Lin, I'm sorry."
She reported Jiang Lin just to prevent Jiang Lin from joining the party, so that she would have hope. She thought that if she could join the party, it would not be a big deal even if people knew about her cheating in the exam, because party members were amulets. But she did not expect that because of this greed, she would harm herself and be dug out. She blamed herself and regretted it, thinking that she should not have reported Jiang Lin and that it was just her bad luck.
Jiang Lin was leaning on the bed reading a book. Since Yao Zhenyu apologized and said he knew his mistake, she would forgive him and encourage him regardless of whether it was sincere or not.
Seeing her admit her mistake, other students also sent their blessings, hoping that she would learn from her mistakes and then be brave. Go back and study hard, and get into the liberal arts major she likes three years later. She got in on the right track and no longer has to worry and feel ashamed.
Zhu Caiping sat on the upper bunk and looked at her coldly. Why was she pretending? She didn't believe that Yao Zhenyu had really turned over a new leaf. He was just showing weakness to gain sympathy.
Yao Zhenyu packed her things and two other female classmates helped her.
Yang Lu sat beside Jiang Lin's bed. She refused to help. She had no sympathy for Yao Zhenyu. Instead, she was afraid that Yao Zhenyu would suddenly come and hurt Jiang Lin again.
Yang Lu had a feeling that although Jiang Lin was not enthusiastic enough towards her, he was not bad to her either, at least better than others.
Because this time when she came back from the Chinese New Year, Jiang Lin brought gifts for everyone, simple embroidered coin purses, beautiful and generous. The one she gave to Yang Lu was all her favorites in terms of color, style and pattern, and she felt that Jiang Lin was really good to her.
When Yao Zhenyu was almost done packing, he took out his small wooden box and said to Zhu Caiping, "You picked my lock and rummaged through my things, why did you take my twenty dollars?"
Zhu Caiping immediately got angry: "Stop spitting blood at me, do I need your twenty dollars?"
Yao Zhenyu raised a small wooden box and threw it at her. Zhu Caiping was unable to dodge and was hit on the forehead, breaking her skin and bleeding instantly.
Other students rushed over to stop the fight and stopped them from continuing.
Yang Lu: "You guys should leave quickly and stop making trouble, or else the police will arrest you again."
Yao Zhenyu's father had a sad face and told his daughter to stop making trouble and pack up and go home quickly.
Zhu Caiping refused to give in and wanted to sue her. How could she get married if she had disfigured herself?
"If you don't pry into my room, how can I pry into your lock?" After all, the biggest grudge between the two is Guo Gang, and reporting Jiang Lin's anonymous letter is secondary. If Yao Zhenyu didn't dig Guo Gang, Zhu Caiping wouldn't hate him so much, and naturally she wouldn't pry into Yao Zhenyu's box just because of an anonymous note.
The two quarreled for a while, and finally the dormitory manager came to ask them to leave and leave quickly.
After Yao Zhenyu and his father left with their luggage, Zhu Caiping sneered: "Don't be fooled by her. She repents? The sun will rise in the west!"
Her roommate applied medicine to her. The wound was not big, just a broken skin. It was at the hairline and was not obvious because of the hair.
She was indignant, "Jiang Lin, have you really forgiven her?"
Jiang Lin: "What does it matter if it's true or not? Am I so idle that I have to remember it for my whole life?"
She is a person who will take revenge if she has a grudge. She will never embarrass herself because of the past. Once the bad things in the past are resolved, she will not think about them again. She can kick away even someone like Bian Haitao and never look back, let alone Yao Zhenyu, who has nothing to do with her?
Zhu Caiping and Yao Zhenyu are deeply entangled, so it is understandable that they can't let go.
Zhu Caiping glanced at her and said proudly, "Well, the household registration has been restored. Yao Zhenyu will definitely not be able to pass the exam in three years, but Yao Zhenxia may be able to pass it next year! She'll be so pissed off!"
When it was time for class in the afternoon, Jiang Lin packed up her books, put them in her cowhide schoolbag and carried them to class.
The first class in the afternoon was Liu Jianwu's. As soon as he entered the room, he smiled and said, "A ready-made internship opportunity has arrived. Students should prepare for it."
Everyone asked what good news it was.
Liu Jianwu smiled and said, "The school building is not enough. We need to expand it and add a new teaching building."
"Teacher, this is a good thing. We don't have to fight for the study room anymore."
Liu Jianwu motioned for everyone to be quiet. "The better news is that our school office leaders have decided to let our teachers and students design it, and there is no need to invite outsiders. Several majors in the Department of Civil Engineering can participate in the design. Each class will come up with their own design plan, and then submit it to the school office for selection. The final selected one can leave its name on the construction base!"
"Teacher Liu, is that true?" The students were excited all of a sudden. It was a very cool thing to leave their names on the building. Although we couldn't name it "Building XX" like the master did, it would be enough to show off if we could engrave "XX participated in the design and construction" on the base.
And with a name, you will definitely be able to get a better job after graduation, that’s for sure.
Liu Jianwu: "Really? Our class will be divided into four groups first. Everyone will design their own design. Finally, we will take out the one that everyone agrees is the best and compete with other classes for selection."
There are usually four study groups in their class, and they are divided into groups for surveying, modeling, drawing architectural drawings, sketching, etc.
A group consisting of Jiang Lin, Su Xingyun, Ren Bocheng, Yang Lu, Zhu Caiping and others.
The students asked Teacher Liu what the school’s requirements were, such as style and characteristics. The more information they knew, the more confident they would be in winning.
Liu Jianwu: "Keep an eye on the school bulletin board these days, there will be more news. There will be a discussion meeting in a few days, our civil engineering department, as well as their liberal arts college and fine arts college will all participate."
Naming the building and using famous quotes are the responsibilities of the School of Arts, while teachers and students from the School of Fine Arts can be involved in the interior decoration of the building.
Anyway, the school tries its best to create opportunities for students to participate and give full play to their intelligence and talents.
Yang Lu poked Jiang Lin: "What do you think?"
Jiang Lin looked out the window. Opposite her was a three-story red brick building. It was well-proportioned, like three houses stacked on top of each other. The windows were small, the interior was cramped and narrow, and the space was not divided properly. Both the structure and the appearance were actually limited by the existing building materials.
The design nowadays is not about how beautiful it is, but about how to build it safer, stronger and more durable. Don't let problems start to appear within two years, such as the wall of the dormitory falling down and covering the students when they are sleeping, or the roof leaking and causing cracks in the wall.
Moreover, looking around, the school buildings, apart from the beautiful and solid ones designed by the masters in the past, were rapidly expanded during the Great Progress and then quickly abandoned during the Cultural Revolution. Some were used for other purposes, and some simply collapsed beyond recognition.
Some foundations are not up to standard, they are sloppy! Some are covered with mud and sand grout, some... Anyway, all kinds of construction accidents are terrible, they are all for the purpose of meeting the number and launching educational satellites.
In Jiang Lin's opinion, with the current level of building construction, the first requirement is that it must be sturdy and durable. As for the appearance, in fact, a slight change can make it much more beautiful than before.
After Liu Jianwu finished speaking, he asked everyone to discuss in groups.
Jiang Lin was also surrounded, and everyone spoke freely and expressed their opinions.
Su Xingyun summarized the opinions and eliminated those that seemed impractical. However, the reinforced concrete proposed by Jiang Lin was a very unfamiliar concept to them.
Although reinforced concrete has already appeared internationally, it is still a blank in China.
Various scientific research projects were initiated in the past few years, but have not yet reached this stage.
Jiang Lin: "I don't remember which book I saw it in."
Since entering college, many of my classmates have been spending their free time in the library. They have indeed read a lot of books, some of which are intensive readings, while most of the time they are extensive readings. Sometimes they know something but cannot remember the details, which is normal.
After hearing what Jiang Lin said, some people said that they had seen it too, and even mentioned the titles of several books in a serious manner, saying that everyone could go look for it when the time comes.
In fact, Jiang Lin was more interested in traditional architecture, and most of the books he read in the library were related to this, as well as foreign architecture books. Unfortunately, there were very few books to read no matter what kind.
Everyone discussed one class, and in the second class Liu Jianwu gave some professional knowledge.
Architecture is not just about appearance. Appearance is secondary. Architectural mechanics and structural science are the foundation.
When the get out of class was over, Liu Jianwu said to Jiang Lin, "Jiang Lin, come to my office with me."
Jiang Lin responded, packed her bag and followed him. After leaving the classroom, Jiang Lin asked what was the matter.
Liu Jianwu smiled and said, "That's good. The school party committee approved your application to join the party and decided to accept you as a probationary member and enter the probation period."
Jiang Lin was surprised and said, "Teacher Liu, is that true? Who else? Didn't you say there are two places?"
Liu Jianwu: "There are limited places. You are the only one who passed. There is only one in the next class."
I see. Jiang Lin said, "Teacher, I feel so embarrassed to be alone. Will my classmates have any objections?"
Liu Jianwu smiled and said, "This is what the school party committee agreed to. Do you have any opinions? Don't think too much about it."
Jiang Lin then went to the school office, answered a few questions, filled out forms, etc., and then received an ideological report booklet. In the future, she would report on her ideological work regularly.
After leaving the school office, Jiang Lin remembered that Guo Yanqiu asked her to go for a check-up, so she went there on the way.
Guo Yanqiu was promoted to team leader of the medical office at the beginning of this school year. In fact, there are not many doctors here, and they all hang around here because they can't go to the hospital. They only treat headaches and colds and give injections. If the patients cannot be treated, they will be sent to big hospitals.
Jiang Lin walked to the door and knocked when she saw it was closed. There was no sound from inside. She thought Guo Yanqiu was not there. Just as she was about to leave, she heard Guo Yanqiu's voice from inside, "Jiang Lin?"
Jiang Lin: “It’s me.”
Soon footsteps were heard in the room, and then the door was opened from the inside, and Guo Yanqiu invited her in.
Jiang Lin saw Guo Yanqiu's expression was a bit strange, as if she was angry and resentful. There was no movement just now, what was she doing in the room? Jiang Lin took a look and saw that there were no students coming to see the doctor, only Guo Yanqiu herself.
Jiang Lin smiled and said, "Doctor Guo, who pissed you off again?"
Guo Yanqiu has a lot of things to do now. She has to cooperate with the school's family planning office, help students with physical examinations, see doctors, and check up on pregnant women, etc. It is also very annoying when she encounters difficult students.
Guo Yanqiu pinched his forehead and smiled bitterly, "If I tell you, will you help me beat him up?"
Jiang Lin rolled up his sleeves and said, "Let's talk. We have two people, so our fighting power is doubled."
Guo Yanqiu was amused by her and was in the mood to tease Jiang Lin, "You are not here to ask me for a free set through the back door, are you?"
Jiang Lin: "I'm still talking about it. It's really not enough. There are so many children in the countryside, one for each of them is not enough."
Guo Yanqiu laughed, and fearing that Jiang Lin would ask about her own affairs again, she asked her how her pregnancy was going and whether she felt any discomfort. She measured Jiang Lin's waist and said, "Why do I see that your waist has become thinner? There should be some signs after three months."
Jiang Lin: "Where? Look, you've gained weight." She wanted to lift up her clothes to pinch the flesh on her waist, but was stopped by Guo Yanqiu.
Jiang Lin felt something was wrong with her, and then she heard a noise in the corner, "Who?"
There was a white curtain hanging there, and behind it was a bench for inspection.
Guo Yanqiu: “Hey.”
Jiang Lin looked back at her and saw that her face was red and her lips were swollen. Suddenly she understood something and teased her, "Dr. Guo was fighting with someone for chili peppers just now?"
Guo Yanqiu was fine at first, but now she suddenly felt embarrassed. However, she was not that shy. She blushed and immediately returned to normal. She shouted at the curtain: "Get out now."
She strode over and pulled the curtain, revealing Lu Hang who was hiding behind the curtain, lying on the wall and pretending that he didn't exist.
Jiang Lin: “……!”
You are not a fool.
"Lü Hang, why are you so ashamed to face others?"
Lu Hang: "...Ah? What? Who called me? I'm not here. I'm at home."
Guo Yanqiu: "..." She said to Lu Hang: "Okay, you can go now."
Jiang Lin heard something wrong in her voice, and her tone was a bit powerless. Is this... a conflict? Jiang Lin also knew about their relationship. Lu Hang was a person who was obsessed with appearance. It was no exaggeration to say that he was crazy. He was obsessed with the original owner's appearance. During the years when the original owner went to the countryside, he did not stop in the city and harassed Guo Yanqiu for a while. Later, he found that they were not similar at all, so he gave up. As a result, Guo Yanqiu had a good impression of him.
The two have been entangled since last year. Guo Yanqiu likes him in her heart but she refuses to admit defeat and behaves half-heartedly. Lu Hang is a complete idiot. He won't understand if you talk to him seriously, let alone beating around the bush.
But he had never been close to other girls except Guo Yanqiu, and he was very caring towards her. He would satisfy her in everything she asked him to do. He thought shopping and watching movies were torture, but he would go as long as Guo Yanqiu asked him to. Everyone knew that they were dating, but he himself had not come to his senses yet, which made Guo Yanqiu very angry.
Anyway, normal people can’t understand or see through their routines.
Lu Hang turned his head and looked at Jiang Lin, smiling, "Linlin, you look so pretty today. I'll treat you to a meal."
He was afraid that Guo Yanqiu would beat him, so he quickly pulled Jiang Lin out.
Jiang Lin shook him off and said, "Behave yourself. You're asking for a beating for being so clumsy."
She looked at Guo Yanqiu. After Guo Yanqiu fell in love with Lu Hang, she did not hide her love and admitted it to Jiang Lin and others. Only the idiot Lu Hang did not believe it at all and always felt that she was trying to trick him.
"What are you doing here today?" Jiang Lin asked.
Lu Hang: "I...I have something to do."
When he heard people say there was a little Jiang Lin at the provincial university, he felt unconvinced, so he specially found time to come and see her today, but he didn't see her, so he came to ask Guo Yanqiu.
Guo Yanqiu told him that they didn't look alike at all, and those who said they looked alike were misleading with ulterior motives and were just using this as a gimmick. The gossipers were bored, and they would exaggerate a little resemblance to ten times, praising it all day long, and passers-by would also be led to say, "Oh, they really look alike."
However, Lu Hang wanted to go and take a look, and then Guo Yanqiu sarcastically asked him if he had failed in pursuing Jiang Lin and wanted to find a substitute.
Of course Lu Hang didn't admit it. Linlin was unique and belonged to Brother Cheng alone. He couldn't catch up with her because they were not destined to be together. He didn't force himself to pursue Jiang Lin, he just liked to watch her.
Guo Yanqiu felt that he must not be so frank, otherwise why did he have to go to see Jiang Ling? What was there to see?
Lu Hang said with confidence that he didn't like others relying on Linlin to take advantage of her. If he wasn't like those people, why did they say he was?
If they are similar, why and where are they similar? How can it be such a coincidence!
Lu Hang has his own theory that beauties do look alike. For example, beauties with round faces and big eyes usually have noses that are not too high and are slightly fleshy, and they look a bit similar at first glance.
Girls with thin faces, pointed chins and fair complexions will have high nose bridges. If their eyes are slightly similar in shape, they will look alike at first glance, especially those beautiful, fair-skinned women with pointed chins and big eyes.
However, he has been in the provincial capital for so many years and has seen many women. Some of them may look similar at first glance, or their noses, eyes and eyebrows may be similar, but if you look at them a second time, they are not similar at all.
Therefore, he had to identify why Jiang Ling looked like Linlin to see if it was just talk or if it was true.
Jiang Lin rolled her eyes at him and said to Guo Yanqiu, "Doctor Guo, I'm leaving first."
Guo Yanqiu smiled at her, but it was a somewhat forced smile. She wanted to ignore Lu Hang, but she couldn't help but glare at him. Sure enough, the latter was so scared that he immediately ran after Jiang Lin.
Jiang Lin and Lu Hang walked out of the infirmary, went downstairs, and went to the playground where they could stroll.
"Lü Hang, don't play dumb. Don't you know what Doctor Guo means to you?"
Lu Hang scratched his head: "Linlin, what do you mean? I apologized to her. She hit me, gave me an injection, and asked me to go to the movies with her to apologize. I did all that. Why did she let me go? I didn't do anything to her. I was just looking at her and you at the time... But I found that they were not alike at all. I was blind. I stopped harassing her later. Who knew she would get excited again?"
Jiang Lin rolled her eyes at him, "Are you stupid? You don't understand at all that it's not me you like."
Everyone has noticed that Lu Hang’s attitude towards Guo Yanqiu is actually different from his attitude towards other women. It’s unique, but this idiot himself just doesn’t know it. I really want to beat him to death.
Lu Hang: "It's you!"
Jiang Lin stopped and hooked her finger at him, signaling him to lower his head.
Lu Hang looked at her in confusion, "Linlin?"
Jiang Lin: "Look at me carefully."
Lu Hang just looked at her for two seconds and then laughed, "Don't tease me."
Jiang Lin: "Look, don't be scared."
Lu Hang blushed and said shyly, "Linlin, please don't be like this. I feel embarrassed..."
Jiang Lin slapped his arm and said, "Keep watching."
Lu Hang looked down at her, his face getting redder and redder, and then he started laughing, "I used to want to look at you openly like this, but when I didn't have the chance I would just look at you secretly. Now that I can look at you like this, I feel weird."
Jiang Lin: "What did you see?"
Lu Hang looked like a fangirl, "You are so handsome."
"Then what?"
"The more I look at him, the more handsome he becomes."
“I think you feel the same way when you see beautiful flowers.”
Lu Hang: "You are prettier than flowers."
"Then do you want a kiss?" Jiang Lin asked him seriously.
Lu Hang jumped up in fear and waved his hands repeatedly, "Linlin, please don't hurt me. I don't want to be beaten to death by Brother Cheng."
Jiang Lin grabbed his hand, "How do you feel?"
Lu Hang: "Brother Cheng! It was Linlin who took the initiative, don't hit me."
Jiang Lin rolled her eyes at him, "What a waste! You should face the reality. You don't like me. You just like to look at this face. It's just like that. Men like women and women like men. It may be because of the feeling at first sight. That's called love at first sight, but you don't fall in love with me at first sight. You got it wrong. It's not love or affection between men and women. Do you understand?"
Lu Hang: "What is it?"
Jiang Lin was so angry that she punched him. "You should ask yourself what kind of girl you like and what kind of girl you want to marry."
Lu Hang: "Marry?" Guo Yanqiu's cold and beautiful face appeared in his mind, and he shuddered with fear. She wanted to marry him, so she must have bad intentions. She was so disgusted with him at that time that she wanted to kick him into the river. Now she pushed him against the wall and said she wanted to marry him, it must be to take revenge on him, no one would believe it.
Jiang Lin asked him: "Lü Hang, why do you only like to look at my face?"
There are many beautiful girls, and even if she fits his imagination of beauty, she shouldn't be the only one.
Guo Yanqiu is beautiful, and Zeng Hongjie is also very beautiful.
Lu Hang suddenly felt embarrassed, "Did you forget?"
Jiang Lin: "What did I forget?"
Lu Hang bit his lip and said, "Nothing, go to class now, I have something else to do."
Jiang Lin was too lazy to pay attention to him and turned away.
Lu Hang looked at her back, he didn't want to tell anyone. When he was a child, he was very ugly for a few years, his face was dirty, everyone said he looked like a monkey, dirty and scabby, with dirt on his face and head. At that time, he had a desire, white and clean, without any impurities, with clean and beautiful eyebrows and eyes, that is the most beautiful.
Once, he was laughed at for his low self-esteem, so he hid in a corner and refused to go home. In the evening, he saw a little girl, she was wearing a white cotton skirt, her skin was as white and delicate as a peeled egg, her eyebrows were clean and beautiful, her eyes were clear and bright, her lips were as red as rose petals, and even the skin on her neck, arms, and hands was flawless.
The setting sun fell on her, making her as pure and beautiful as a newly blooming crabapple flower.
He gave the most sincere admiration from the bottom of his soul: It’s so beautiful!
So he remembered her, remembered her face, and remembered that beautiful feeling.
To him, whatever fits that feeling is beautiful.
But as Jiang Lin said, that was not love, not love between men and women, it was just a desire when he felt inferior. However, he himself had no way of distinguishing it and could only instinctively yearn for what he thought was beauty.
He had never thought of possessing her, he only wanted to admire her. When she said kiss me just now, his first thought was how he could desecrate her!
But when Guo Yanqiu pressed him on the examination bench, kissed him and asked him how it felt... Lu Hang's heart skipped a beat and he quickly pressed his chest. That woman was too scary!!!
He thought about it and decided to meet Jiang Ling to find out who she was.
