Chapter 170 Chapter 170 Going to the Library
Lin Xun successfully passed the college entrance examination last year and was admitted to the Department of Agriculture at Anjing University. In order to get along better with his classmates, Lin Xun lived on campus and only came back occasionally.
When she came back, she was very cautious and sneaky, for fear that someone would see her entering and leaving the palace.
She didn't want to be treated specially because of her princess status.
As a freshman majoring in agriculture, Lin Xun has only been studying for half a year, but he has already witnessed how hard his seniors in the department work.
One of them, Ms. Zheng, successfully cultivated a Champa rice plant that grew very well last year.
Compared with the fruits and vegetables cultivated by other senior brothers and sisters, this Champa rice is obviously more significant.
It is almost a perfect replica of the high-quality Champa rice cultivated by Xie Sinong.
Sister Zheng successfully won first place in her major with this Champa rice.
When Lin Xun first entered the school, he had a certain admiration for this senior sister Zheng. But when he met her in person, he found that this senior sister was very polite and courteous.
Lin Xun thought to himself: She is worthy of being the top senior sister in the grade.
The next second, she saw the top-ranked senior student speaking to her enthusiastically, "Junior, do you think your Agriculture score was a little low?"
Lin Xun didn't understand what she meant for a moment, and said blankly: "Huh?"
Zheng Huaiyu asked, "Don't you think agronomy should be the major with the highest score? Food is the most important thing for people, so why should agronomy be ranked behind other majors?"
Ever since Zheng Huaiyu met Guo Han by chance that day, he felt like he was given a shot of chicken blood and studied like crazy after returning to school.
After she got first place in the grade, Zheng Huaiyu had a complete epiphany.
Agronomy is such an important and perfect major, but the score line is the lowest. She will never accept it.
So Zheng Huaiyu promoted this to everyone he met, especially the freshmen who had just enrolled this year.
Lin Xun blinked awkwardly. "The scores were set by the people at the Ministry of Education... I guess they have their own considerations."
Zheng Huaiyu nodded. "I'm certainly aware of this. That's why we need to work even harder to demonstrate the importance of agronomy."
Lin Xun didn't expect that this senior sister was a little different from what he had imagined. She came to the dormitory after checking in.
This is Lin Xun's first time living in a group environment. She is both excited and nervous. She doesn't know what her roommates' personalities are like and whether they are easy to get along with.
Fortunately, his roommates were all very nice, and Lin Xun finally felt relieved.
After attending classes for half a year, Lin Xun only returned to the palace once. She was lucky when she returned, as Lin Si told her a piece of news.
She said that the library that was built last year is almost completed and will have many books in it. She was asked to go and take a look on the opening day.
Lin Xun returned to the university hall and was about to tell his roommates.
Unexpectedly, her roommates got the news before she did. "I heard that the building being built on Laichun Lane is going to be used as a library?"
"Really? The last time I passed by, I took a look and the windows were wide open!"
"Where did this news come from?"
"I heard it from my senior sisters."
Lin Xun silently added: "It should be true."
The roommates immediately became excited: "Xun, who told you that? Is it true?"
Lin Xun's tone was vague: "Well...someone at home told me, I think the news is true."
"That's great. We must go and see it on the opening day."
"Then there should be a lot of books in there."
"I just don't know when it will open. Let's go and ask around when the time comes."
Lin Xun and his roommates were looking forward to the library.
The news gradually spread in the University Hall, and someone went to Laichun Lane every day to check on the progress of the construction. Not to mention checking it himself, this person was also very kind-hearted. He set up a blackboard on the playground and updated the progress on it every day.
I asked the construction workers today and they said that the roof will be completed soon.
Today I saw large pieces of glass being carried in, so they must be installing glass windows.
When I went there today, the craftsman was measuring the size of the glass windows. Wow, I have never seen such large glass windows.
Today I met the Minister of Works who came to supervise the work. I chatted with him for a while and he said that the library is free of charge.
The daily update of this blackboard has become a must-see item for students in the entire university every morning.
As the opening day of the library approaches, Lin Xun's roommates are both happy and worried.
They were happy that they could see many books, but worried that there would be a lot of people on the first day of opening. Even if they lined up, they would not be able to queue up as long as their senior brothers and sisters.
One of the roommates raised his hand tremblingly, indicating that he had an idea.
"I used to love fried chicken, but they were limited. If you went a little late, they'd be sold out. Many times I'd have to ask someone to queue for me. I wonder if this is also possible at our library?"
There are strict regulations for living in university dormitories. You must return to the dormitory at night, and there are also restrictions on the time you can leave campus the next day.
According to their understanding, some seniors had asked their families to prepare ox carts and wait at the entrance of the university hall, and they would go straight to the library when they left the school.
How could they compare to those who rode the public ox cart?
Not to mention that besides these college students, there are also ordinary people who come to join in the fun, including middle school and elementary school students who want to go to the library.
This suggestion was agreed by several other roommates, and everyone said they would give it a try.
There are queues anyway, just like queuing for fried chicken and queuing for the library.
Lin Xun followed his roommates out to look for the people from that generation.
Lin Xun didn't expect that the person who would take over this generation of platoon business would be a little girl who looked only about ten years old.
What shocked Lin Xun even more was that this ten-year-old girl was in charge of a group of children about her age. She was responsible for taking orders, coordinating and communicating with customers, while the other children were responsible for queuing.
If there are not enough people, she will go and queue up herself.
However, despite his young age, he speaks and acts in a very dignified manner.
Lin Xun subconsciously asked her if she was reading.
Speaking of studying, the little girl smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, ma'am. I have saved enough money to go to elementary school. I plan to sign up when school starts this summer. Then I will no longer be involved in this platoon business. I may transfer it to someone else, or even just disband it."
Lin Xun finally breathed a sigh of relief when he heard that such a great little girl was going to study.
If she doesn't study, I will go back to the palace and tell His Majesty!
After listening to their request, the little girl nodded and said she could take it.
"We'll send someone to find out the opening date and time, and then we'll send someone to queue up. The queues are much harder than for popular dishes like fried chicken, so I'm afraid the fee will be higher. After all, there are four of you, so I'll have to queue for four of you. If you don't get in, I'll only charge a small fee for the information and my hard work, and the rest will be refunded."
"The cost is negotiable."
On the way back to the University Hall, Lin Xun and his roommates breathed a sigh of relief.
"I feel safe after finding a substitute, and I feel more at ease."
"Yes, yes."
Lin Xun was in contact with the substitute platoon for the first time, and he only said: "The little girl in this substitute platoon is quite amazing."
"Axun, this is your first time meeting this girl. This girl is amazing. Back then, the line for fried chicken was tough, so on the third day, she brought a young man and asked people near the fried chicken shop if they wanted to stand in line for her. Since then, she's had more and more talented people working for her. I asked her, as you would, if she was studying and if she had any difficulties. She told me that she was standing in line to save money to help support her family, and that she would go back to school after working for another year."
After finding a substitute, Lin Xun looked at the blackboard in the playground every day during class, watching the opening time of the museum getting closer.
The above content also becomes:
When I went there today, all the glass windows had been installed. They were really big windows, so I guess there was plenty of light.
Today, when I looked inside through the glass window, I found that tables and chairs with benches had been installed. I guess I can sit inside and read.
………
Today I peeked at someone moving boxes in. I think they are moving their collection of books. I’m so looking forward to it!
I asked the Ministry of Industry today and they told me that the museum will be opening in seven days. Therefore, I will not be updating this board anymore. Thank you for your attention during this period.
The day before the museum opened, Lin Xun and his roommates tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
"I'm so happy and excited. I'm going to the library tomorrow."
"Me too, me too. I wonder what kind of books will be inside."
"We've really caught up with a good era. If it were in the past, we wouldn't have had the chance to read the collection of books."
"If it weren't for the current emperor, we wouldn't even have the opportunity to study and become officials. The four of us wouldn't even know each other."
"So I have always been grateful to Your Majesty for allowing me to study and become an official in an open and honest manner."
"Okay, everyone, go to bed. We need to keep enough energy to read tomorrow."
The next morning, the four of them got up early, and everyone had dark circles under their eyes.
Fortunately, the substitute queue went smoothly and the four of them successfully entered the library.
Many classmates and seniors were surprised that there were still so many people queuing up even though they came so early. When they saw four people who had asked others to queue for them, they were surprised to see them enter after just a short wait.
"Can you still do this?"
"I should have found one earlier. The line is so long, how long will it take?"
“Why didn’t we think of that?”
"What a miscalculation."
As soon as Lin Xun entered, he was stunned by the bookshelves, which were densely packed with books.
These books were exchanged by Lin Si from the system mall. She had already maxed out the quota. She couldn't read all these books by herself, so she simply exchanged some for books that were in line with the current era and not too out of place, and put them in the library for people to read.
There were many people in front of the bookshelf. Fortunately, Lin Xun was not short, so she could see the titles of the books on the bookshelf.
"Air Drying and Salting Method", "How to Grow the Most Tasty Bean Sprouts", "Principles of Nitrogen Fixation and Soil Nourishment by Leguminous Crops", "Mulberry-Based Fish Pond", "Stinky Tofu Can Also Be Eaten" - the titles of the books on the bookshelf made Lin Xun's eyes almost dizzy.
A well-dressed lady beside her excitedly pulled out a copy of "Da'an Fashion Guide". Another person took out a copy of "Don't Miss These Food Supplements"
Lin Xun took a few books on agronomy, but there was no room left at the long table, so she found a corner and squatted down to read.
Many people didn't have seats, so they squatted in the corner and read books like Lin Xun did. The library didn't have a borrowing function yet, so books could only be read inside the library.
Lin Xun was watching with such fascination that she didn't notice that someone was standing in front of her.
Until Lin Ying called out, "Looking for Auntie."
Lin Xun then looked up. Standing in front of her was Lin Si and the very handsome secret guard.
The secret guard was leading Lin Ying, and the three people were looking at her.
Lin Xun almost blurted out "Your Majesty", but fortunately she paused and said: "Sister..."
Lin Si smiled slightly and said, "You are really hardworking."
Lin Xun touched his face and said, "This book is so good, I can't help but be fascinated by it."
