Chapter 78 The girl is anxious
"It's almost time for dinner now, so I guess Su Zhen must have returned to the Agricultural Science Academy." Lin Li said as he thought about it, "Then he must have had some interactions with Tan Weiwei."
Ling Xiao raised his eyes and looked over here without saying anything.
Liu Jinduo didn't know what Lin Li was talking about, so she asked.
Lin Li just spoke in a rambling manner and was too lazy to seriously explain the situation to Liu Jinduo.
Then Lin Li said, "It's a pity that a letter takes several days to arrive. Even if a telegram is sent quickly, it won't be fast enough. By the time the telegram arrives, he will be here tomorrow morning."
Unfortunately, there were no telephones in that era, and even beeping machines would not appear until a few years later.
Lin Hua: "Sister, are you so anxious?"
Although the girl has completely changed from before, it seems that her impatient temper has not changed.
When the adults were chatting, little Junrui wanted to join in the conversation, but the adults still ignored him.
So he simply started to learn what the adults said, but his understanding was not clear.
Ling Xiao had finished his meal and was resting his eyes, but when he heard the movement of the baby, he opened his eyes.
It seemed that there was a bit of disappointment on Baby's face, because no one responded to his words.
So Ling Xiao raised his hand with great effort, placed it on Junrui's shoulder, and pressed it gently.
Little Junrui immediately found his sense of existence, and he happily rubbed against Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao felt his heart soften. It turned out that having a little guy snuggling up to him was so reassuring.
"The Agricultural Science Academy office has a phone number," Ling Xiao said to Lin Li, "You can find the phone number..."
Although he still speaks very slowly, it is gratifying that he can now speak in complete sentences instead of jumping around word by word.
Liu Jinduo exclaimed in surprise, then said to Lin Li excitedly: "Li Li, Comrade Ling has recovered so quickly? This is great!"
Lin Li nodded and said "hmm".
Ling Xiao added: "There should also be a phone in the hospital office..."
Lin Li immediately realized: "Yeah...why didn't I think of this?"
This was already a backward rural area, but here in the commune, many modern things are slowly becoming popular.
But Lin Li just stood up and sat down again: "It's better not to call and disturb them... If they are chatting happily and someone calls them to answer the phone, it will be a shame..."
Then he stole a glance at Ling Xiao's expression, because he felt that his good friend was hanging out with his fiancée. Although he said he didn't care, he must care in his heart.
Unfortunately, Ling Xiao had no expression and no thoughts. He was too quiet.
"Just wait one night. You'll know the situation when he comes tomorrow morning." Lin Li was apparently talking to these people, but in reality she was comforting herself.
Lin Li went to look at the sandalwood he had hung out to dry and found that some had already taken shape while others had turned into powder.
The aromas are very strong.
She would use the spare time of these few days to prepare sandalwood.
After the prepared sandalwood is left to stand for a day, it is filtered out, fried dry, and then ground into powder.
Sandalwood powder is solidified with real honey.
If it is professionally made, the materials will not be like this. In fact, it is rarely used in private production. People just want to enjoy it, so they don’t think it is a waste.
But even if more materials are used, sandalwood still cannot be made as beautiful as each individual stick.
Lin Li first put the odds and ends into an iron box, then struck a match and lit it.
"Hey, it smells so good..." Liu Jinduo sniffed greedily, "Where did you get such a fragrant spice?"
The truth is that the "incense" made by Lin Li didn't look like "fragrant" at all, so Liu Jinduo mistook it for a spice.
"I got the sandalwood from Mu Qing," Lin Li didn't care whether Liu Jinduo knew Mu Qing or not. In fact, she was not responding to Liu Jinduo's words specifically. She was speaking to Ling Xiao. "These are all pure core materials that have been extracted. It means that Mu Qing has the ability to extract the core materials without the help of tools..."
A few days ago, Lin Li stood at the intersection watching the pedestrians coming and going. As long as they were walking in the direction of Mengjiazhuang, she would shamelessly ask them where they were going.
Finally, we found an auntie who was going to Dream Village.
Lin Li gave the aunt two cents and asked her to help deliver a letter to Mu Qing.
In the letter, Lin Li listed the latest things he needed and asked Mu Qing to bring them when she came to the commune when she was free.
Mu Qing was also relieved, so she didn't come to deliver it in person, but asked a relative who passed by to deliver it.
In the letter she wrote to Lin Li, she said that he didn't need to pay her yet, as she had something important to do in the next few days and would come to visit Lin Li again in a few days.
That is to say, when she comes, Lin Li will give her the money.
Lin Li was deeply touched that Mu Qing trusted him so much.
"Well," Ling Xiao also praised very much, "You are so smart. I only told you to steam, boil and fry, but you also knew to add tea leaves. The tea leaves must be Tieguanyin, right? What a refreshing feeling..."
"Yes," Lin Li said, "You told me to add rice wine or white wine. I heard that if you want to make the aroma more sublime, you can mix it with tea. You can use any variety of tea you like best."
Lin Hua also praised the aroma.
Just smelling the fragrance reminded him of the bamboo flute he had left in his hometown.
I feel a little itchy because I haven't practiced for several days.
Then he thought about asking the nurse in the next few days whether he could use a section of the bamboo in the garden so that he could carve a flute.
As for the reed membrane, it is easy to deal with. If you can't buy it, you can use some tape instead.
…………
Early the next morning, Su Zhen did return to the hospital.
But he did not come to find Lin Li first, but went directly to find Dean Cheng.
Ask about Lin Li’s house-hunting experience yesterday.
I want to know if there are any houses you like and whether you have decided on one.
Dean Cheng had big dark circles under his eyes and sighed as soon as he saw Su Zhen.
"Lin Li actually reserved the most luxurious house in our hospital... We had no intention of selling that house to employees at a private price... Oh... I should have chosen that house first. I actually overlooked such an important thing." Dean Cheng put his hands in his pockets, looking regretful, which was quite pitiful.
But Su Zhen had no time to feel his pity.
He was stunned: "How come there is a house that I don't want to sell?"
"It's a long story..." Dean Cheng explained the purpose of building that house.
The actual materials used to build the house were all purchased by the hospital. They were either sold at market price or used as a trump card to lure highly educated and experienced attending physicians to come here, which would further enhance the hospital's reputation.
As a result, it is now sold at a low internal price.
"This is really too much of an advantage for Lin Li..." Dean Cheng sighed.
Su Zhen got angry when he heard this!
He asked coldly, "So Lin Li is so smart that she has checked out all the houses in your hospital in advance? Otherwise, how could she find this one house directly? And as you said, the four or five houses she looked at yesterday were all the best in your hospital. I thought she would spend a few more days to look at all the 100 or 80 houses..."
"Yes, yes! That's why I'm angry..." Dean Cheng was very excited. He finally made his inner thoughts clear.
Now that Su Zhen can help him deal with Lin Li, he won't have to worry about sleeping or eating.
