Chapter 75: A Man's Sense of Superiority
Su Zhen felt that this was inappropriate.
But he couldn't refuse directly.
Because that would make girls lose face.
When Tan Wei saw Su Zhen's hesitation, she realized that she was being too presumptuous.
She lowered her head and brushed the hair around her ears.
I said embarrassedly: "I'm just curious... I don't have anyone with a high level of education around me, not even a college student. It feels like... PhD students are supernatural..."
When she said the last sentence, she smiled shyly.
She said these unworldly words and praised Su Zhen at the same time, just to create a glorious and great image for Su Zhen that was beyond ordinary people, and to satisfy Su Zhen's sense of superiority.
She understands psychology, and men fall for it.
Su Zhen is a straight man who has never dealt with such a thoughtful girl. He is getting crazy and really wants to ask Lin Li for help.
Tan Weiwei noticed Su Zhen's embarrassment and said, "Why don't we go take a look at your experimental field. It should be full of fruits this season..."
Su Zhen smiled bitterly: "The fruits have all been picked, and the crops have all been harvested. New crops can only be planted next spring. There's really nothing to see..."
So he is indeed a straight man, he will reject everything someone says. If this happened in a relationship, it would make a girl mad.
But Tan Weiwei was not angry. She asked sympathetically, "So, are there any flowers at the Agricultural Science Academy?"
"Yes." Su Zhen finally said, "There are chrysanthemums. And beautiful maple leaves. I'll take you to see..."
…
Because Lin Li had done some screening in advance and had locked in five houses she liked, she now let Dean Cheng take her straight to the target, which saved a lot of time.
Although the decoration of this era is very poor, it is still a general among the cripples.
Just when I looked at the second building, Lin Hua actually pushed Ling Xiao over!
There was even a small pendant following behind him - Junrui baby.
Baby Junrui took a few tut-tut steps, then used his hands and feet to clumsily crawl over the threshold and stretched out his two little hands towards Lin Li.
His gaps between his teeth were exposed when he smiled, and his little hands suddenly hugged Lin Li's legs.
"Mom..."
Lin Li quickly responded.
Whenever Lin Li sees his baby appear, he feels very happy. It is true that biological babies are better.
She picked up the kid and swung him around.
The little guy just kept laughing.
Dean Cheng had already sensed that Lin Li had done her homework in advance and must have gone straight to the house she liked.
Originally, he had some opinions about Lin Li's approach. He didn't want Lin Li to see these houses at all. There were only five of the most luxurious buildings in the hospital, and his leaders and the best attending physicians here couldn't tell them apart.
But now that he saw Ling Xiao also coming to look at the house, even if he still had some opinions in his heart, he didn't dare show them on his face.
Since you have to act actively or passively, if you lose your house, you have to save your face.
So, he gritted his teeth and pretended to be very interested in describing the layout of the room:
"This is the latest apartment type. It imitates the design of big cities!"
"This is the bathroom. There is a water tank on top," Dean Cheng pointed to the bungalow above the private room. "There is transparent glass on top of the water tank so you can see the water level."
This is the earliest solar energy.
Although water is not easy to heat up after the weather gets cold, and people have to drain the water in winter for fear of freezing, and dare not store water, let alone take a bath, being able to take a bath in spring, summer and autumn is already very convenient for people of that era.
"These houses already have running water, and even one faucet per house," Dean Cheng continued, "but other houses that were built a little earlier don't have faucets."
"Oh..." This time, Lin Hua no longer found the faucet strange.
He had only heard of it before but had never seen it. After seeing it for the first time in the hospital a few days ago, he didn't dare to twist it. It was only after Lin Li taught him several times that he dared to use it boldly.
Dean Cheng was still talking: "There are four or five houses here that have water taps. Using water anytime and anywhere is a life as good as a god! Other houses are not so convenient. There is a collective water tap in the factory compound. Every household has to line up to get water. But even so, it is very convenient!"
"You know, the taps in the alleys outside are all locked!"
"They release water on time every day, and we can't get water at night. But here in our compound, we can get water all day and all night! And there is no limit on the amount of water we can use. Each family only needs to pay 10 cents a month for water."
Dean Cheng was getting more and more excited as he spoke, thinking: Look, I am willing to sell you such an advanced building at the internal price! If this is a pure gift, I will never give you this house that even our hospital leaders and the authoritative attending physicians invited from outside can't get! Even if Comrade Ling Xiao is a hero, so what? Even if Su Zhen is the first doctor in the county, so what? He doesn't work for me, I can't afford to sacrifice my life for a gentleman! No matter how powerful he is, he can't come here to grab our house, right?
Lin Li groaned inwardly.
I was also thinking: If it's completely free, do you think you can't afford it if you can't afford it? For someone like Su Zhen who cares so much about face, since he promised to give me the same treatment as me if I paid for it, he has to take it out of your hands and give it to me no matter what means he uses. If it really doesn't work, then Su Zhen will have to spend his own money to buy it, and then pretend to tell me that it was given by you. Tsk tsk, otherwise Su Zhen will brag so loudly but then slap himself in the face. In the future, will he still have the face to be in front of me?
But think about it, no matter how angry he was in his heart, Lin Li still maintained a polite smile on the surface.
After all, she knew from the beginning that free things are not as good as those that cost money.
Even if you can get the same good thing, you still have to listen to the other party's whining and even hurt the relationship.
She even thought that she didn't want to owe Su Zhen a favor.
Therefore, since she has chosen to pay, there is no need for her to embarrass Dean Cheng now.
After all, getting a house is the most important thing, and those verbal disputes are meaningless.
Lin Hua was concerned about the water bill. He suddenly asked, "Does the individual faucet in this house also need to be charged for water?"
For rural people, every household has a well.
Pour water in to draw it out, then press a little and water will come out.
That's all free!
So in this commune you have to pay for even a little water?
Then who can afford to live there?
He thought so in his heart but was too embarrassed to say it out loud.
After all, he has to maintain the face of his sister and brother-in-law.
Lin Li heard her second brother's thoughts and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
It turned out that my second elder brother had grown up in a hard life, and he still measures his future by living frugally.
Of course, Lin Li himself was even more stingy in the past.
The more money you save, the more reluctant you are to spend a penny. You have to hold on to your money until it grows hairy.
Lin Li swore that he would make sure his second brother, who was talented and knowledgeable in music scores, lived a good life in the future. This would naturally broaden his horizons and perspectives.
Once he has gotten rid of the old things in his body and mind, embraced a new life, and understood what happiness and freedom are, he can release the shackles, unleash his inspiration, and pursue the artistic atmosphere he wants.
It's just that in his previous life, he had always lived in pain and struggle, and all his talents were buried.
