Zhong Yuxiu wrote furiously and it was already dark when she finished.
"Master, have you finished writing?" Goudan asked.
"Yeah." He stood up and stretched, feeling as if all the stagnant blood in his body had been moved, and his whole body felt relaxed. "Goudan, what time is it now?"
Goudan said, "Master, it's already 7:30 in the evening. It's very late. You haven't had dinner yet."
"Have you cooked?" He glanced at Goudan.
"Dinner has been ready a long time ago, you have been busy. Goudan is the owner's caring little cotton-padded jacket; so, Goudan did not disturb the owner." Cooking and doing housework are its daily routine. There are settings in the system. When it does not need to assist the owner, it will act according to the instructions set in the system; everything is based on the owner's health as the top priority.
Zhong Yuxiu rubbed her stomach and felt really hungry.
"Let's go eat first. Have Comrade Hao and Comrade Tian eaten yet?"
"No, they said they would wait for you to eat together." Goudan reported truthfully.
"Let's go." He stood up, led Goudan out of the room and downstairs.
Hao Nan and Tian Shangguo, who were waiting in the hall, heard the noise and turned their heads to look at the same time.
"Comrade Zhong, are you done?"
Zhong Yuxiu walked down the last step and stepped onto the tiles in the hall. "Just finished. Have you eaten yet?"
Haonan and Tian Shangguo shook their heads.
"Let's eat first." Zhong Yuxiu spoke, and Goudan went to the kitchen.
"Let's go and help." Hao and Tian went to the kitchen and helped Mang Goudan put the meal on the table.
There were six dishes for dinner, including both vegetables and meat. The three of them ate quickly, and Goudan cleaned up the mess; Zhong Yuxiu went to school under the protection of Haonan and Tian Shangguo, as she still had some classes to finish.
When I arrived at school, I first went to the office to get my lesson plan book, and then went to the physics class 1 classroom.
In the classroom, the students were studying on their own in the evening, whispering softly, and the noisy sound of reading could be heard continuously; Zhong Yuxiu smiled, as if she had returned to the interstellar age and was studying hard.
"Comrade Zhong, we'll be waiting for you nearby." Haonan and Tian Shangguo retreated into the darkness.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and walked into the classroom. At first, many students did not notice her, but after being reminded by other classmates, they soon noticed her arrival.
"Assistant Professor Zhong, you're here! Will you continue with the progress today?"
"Yes, let's finish the progress first." Walking up to the podium, Zhong Yuxiu opened the lesson plan book; the students were very obedient, so Zhong Yuxiu began to lecture.
The content of this lecture includes some of the previous knowledge points, which can be regarded as a review for them.
After finishing her lecture, Zhong Yuxiu closed her lesson plan book and continued, "After this progress update, I won't be giving you any more progress updates this semester. If you have any questions, you can ask me. If I'm not here, you can save your questions and ask them when I come."
"Okay, Assistant Professor Zhong, thank you, Assistant Professor Zhong."
Zhong Yuxiu smiled slightly and said, "get out of class is over." She walked out of the classroom with her lesson plan book in hand.
This mission is completed. Next, I have to pass the fifth-grade exam and apply for graduation; then I can devote myself to medicine, find alternative herbs, and create a repair fluid.
After locking the office and walking out of the school, Haonan and Tian Shangguo came out from the darkness.
"Yuxiu!"
Zhong Yuxiu looked in the direction of the voice and saw Yan Rushan standing at the school guard post. She couldn't help but smile and walked up to him. "Brother Yan, you came to pick me up so late."
"I just came from the black market." Yan Rushan raised his hand and then put it down again, saying, "Let's go home. I got you some fresh meat. It's cold now, so putting it in cold water will keep it longer."
"good."
The group walked towards the compound, and when they arrived home, they saw two bags, one large and one small, placed at the door.
Zhong Yuxiu walked over, opened it and took a look. "Why is there still carbon?"
The big bag contains carbon, not black carbon, but something like silver-gray carbon; in ancient times only nobles could afford it, but I didn’t expect to see it in this era.
"One of Luo San's brothers knows someone who burns charcoal. His family has preserved this craft for generations. After the turmoil, they have been relying on this craft to survive." Burning charcoal quietly, someone will buy it and sell it; the money from selling the charcoal is enough for people to live a life without worries about food and clothing.
"Isn't it expensive?" Black carbon is commonly used nowadays, and silver-gray carbon is very rare.
"It's okay, not very expensive." Yan Rushan smiled and said, "Comrade Hao, Comrade Tian, please help me move in."
"Okay, we'll move it. You and Comrade Zhong go into the house first. It's cold outside." Tian Shangguo continued.
Yan Rushan nodded, "Okay, thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard, just a matter of raising your hand." Haonan said nonchalantly, and he and Tian Shangguo stacked the two bags together; seeing Zhong Yuxiu opened the door, they lifted them up easily and moved them into the hall.
Yan Rushan hurried to the kitchen to get some hot water for her to soak her hands, then ran to sort the things with Haonan and Tian Shangguo, putting the meat in the kitchen and the silver-gray charcoal in the utility room.
Just then, the three of them washed their hands and had some free time; in order not to disturb them, Haonan and Tian Shangguo chose to go to the kitchen to help, leaving the space for the two of them.
"Yuxiu, are your hands warm?" Yan Rushan took a towel and sat down next to her.
She pulled her hand out of the basin and offered it to him.
Yan Rushan held the noodles in his palm and felt warm before wiping the water off her hands. "I saw Goudan made beef noodles. You'll be in for a treat later."
"Is it a lot?" Beef noodles are difficult to make, mainly because the soup base takes time.
"Quite a lot. It often cooks your meals, so it knows how much you eat."
Zhong Yuxiu's heart skipped a beat. What did Yan Rushan see?
"Brother Yan, we've bought all the carbon. Did you buy the grapefruit peels?"
"I bought a little, not much. I'll give it to grandpa first. I've also contacted the people in Province C. I should be able to get it in half a month at most." Yan Rushan didn't continue talking about Goudan. The longer she spent with him, the more opportunities she had to see Goudan. If she couldn't tell anything about him, he would be just a fool.
Zhong Yuxiu nodded and breathed a sigh of relief. "Let the old man try it first and see if it works. If it doesn't work, we can think of other ways."
"Yeah." Yan Rushan nodded gently, got up and went to the bathroom to put a towel before returning. "I'll go to the kitchen to get the noodles. You can go to the restaurant and wait for the meal."
"Well, I'll go right away."
Zhong Yuxiu got up and walked towards the dining room. She had no intention of going to the kitchen as there were so many people there and she would just be watching.
After a while, Yan Rushan came out with two large bowls, with a pair of chopsticks on the edge of each bowl.
"Here it is, eat it while it's hot." Yan Rushan placed a bowl in front of her, then pulled out a chair next to her and sat down. He then gave her half of the noodles in the bowl, "Eat quickly. Once you're full, wash up and go to bed early. Are you going to school tomorrow?"
"No, I'm going. I'm going to call Comrade Xi Nian tomorrow morning and ask him to come and bring the new results to the research institute. The day after tomorrow I'm going to school to ask if the fifth-grade test papers are out. If they are, I have to take the exam and apply for graduation." Then he went to join the medical department.
