Math professor returns to routine

Chapter 27 Going Out
The next afternoon, under the scorching sun, Lu You was wearing water shoes and rubber gloves, stepping in a fairly clear stream.

The Juanjuan stream is shining brightly in the sunlight, clear and translucent.Occasionally, a pair of hands will reach into the water, appear cloudy for a while, and then leave the water with a plastic bottle in their hands.

Looking around, there are more than a dozen boys evenly distributed throughout the creek, all doing the same thing.

Lu You picked up an old mineral water bottle, shook off the water stains, crushed it and threw it into a burlap bag, then wiped the sweat from his forehead with his arm.

A boy in front of Lu You straightened up, crossed his hips, and said resentfully: "Squad leader, how long do you have to pick it up? It's been more than an hour, and I'm almost cooked."

Lu You lowered his head to pick up trash, and asked him back: "Are you ashamed to complain? Didn't you have a good chat last night?"

"Uh." The boy was choked, his eyes drifted, and he immediately changed the subject, "Hey, monitor, who is that in your second class?"

Lu You still didn't raise his head, he focused on searching in the stream, and calmly replied: "There is no one, don't listen to Meng Yi's rumors. People read books for themselves, and there is no saying that they are for others."

The boy pursed his lips, dissatisfied with his answer, "Why do you talk like my parents, you speak some big principles."

"Maybe that's the truth?"

After Lu You finished speaking, he glanced at everyone.At this time, everyone was in a low mood, so he could only cheer up and say: "After picking up the garbage that can be seen on the bright side, you can go to rest and work harder!"

"Okay." The group responded weakly.

After half an hour.

All members of dormitory 208 sat paralyzed under a big tree in the village square.There are also gloves and water shoes that have been changed and cleaned next to them.

"Ah~" Meng Yi picked up his clothes with one hand, took a sip of mineral water with the other hand, and then complained: "I only had pain in my hands and legs in the morning, but now I'm fine, and my waist hurts too."

Lu You picked up the small fan and stuffed it into the hem of the clothes, and the clothes were blown up.

"Isn't your family farming, can this tire you?"

"It's numb, who farms the land every day? It's just sowing. I need to cut the crops. I usually do it." He said, pouring mineral water on his arms one by one to cool himself down.

Lu You raised his head and glanced around. Except for the students in military uniforms, there were only some old people sitting at the door of their huts, holding big cattail fans, chatting non-stop.

Lu You asked Meng Yi, "Are there so few people in the countryside?"

"Yes." Meng Yi replied affirmatively, "There are no job opportunities in the countryside, and now that school is starting, there are basically not many people to see."

Lu You glanced at the village road again, and paved a layer of stones. Some students could still hear the rustling sound when they walked by, so he asked him, "Is it not convenient for you to go out of the village?"

"It's okay, there are concrete roads in my village, and there are electric cars at home, so it's very convenient to travel."

Meng Yi thought for a while, and added: "It's just that express delivery and takeaway are inconvenient. You have to pick up the express delivery by yourself, and takeaway delivery is basically gone."

Lu You thought of his own villa area, which seemed to be similar. It was located in the suburbs, and there were few takeaways, and the express delivery was better. If he was at home, he could let the security guards let him in. If he was not at home, he could only pick it up at the security kiosk.

"My house is similar, the location is a bit remote, and transportation is basically required to get in and out."

"At least you can go home every day. I live on campus and only go home once a month."

After listening to this, Lu You felt a little strange, "Is the school condition not good? I remember the dormitory is pretty good."

"No matter how good the conditions are, it's not your own home. How can there be a comfortable home."

After the group rested for a while, Instructor Liu came over, looked at Lu You and asked.

"Have you finished picking up the trash?"

"After picking it up, it's all thrown into the garbage collection place."

The instructor nodded, "Yes, the hands and feet are quite fast. Come and gather the team, and keep the gloves here, and someone from the village will come to collect them."

……

Lu You returned to the head of the company, punched his stiff shoulders twice, and then yawned, with a lot of fatigue on his face.

Seeing him like this, Li Yu asked curiously: "What did you do? Isn't it just to visit the cultural scene here, and you can still be so tired?"

Lu You gave him a look, (￢_￢)
"You are here for sightseeing, but I am here to pick up trash."

"Why do you pick up trash?"

"Oh." Lu You sighed, and said melancholy: "The people in the dormitory last night were caught chatting with the lights off."

After listening, Li Yu showed a clear look on his face, "I said why so many people walked on the corridor last night, it turned out to be you."

"I didn't go to bed until one or two in the morning, and I got up before six o'clock to raise the flag, and now I have to pick up trash, and I don't have to play. People are numb."

Suddenly, Lu You felt as if someone pulled the corner of his clothes from behind.Looking back, I found that it was a girl who was about the same height as myself.

The girl was fair and white, with a little blush on her cheeks. Seeing Lu You turn her head, she quickly lowered her head and pinched the corner of her clothes with her fingers, looking very nervous.

Lu You waited for a long time, but didn't see her speak, so he could only speak first.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Yeah." The girl replied in a very low voice.

If it weren't for Lu You's better hearing, I really didn't hear it.

"Then what's the matter with you?"

The girl took a deep breath, as if she had made a decision, raised her head abruptly, and said quickly, "Can you tell me your name?"

That's it?

Lu You was full of confusion, asking for a name just made it seem like something big happened.However, there was no other emotion on his face, and he replied to her normally.

"My name is Lu You."

"Okay, thank you, goodbye!" After finishing speaking, he turned around and left quickly without delay.

Lu You stared dumbfounded, completely unresponsive, and asked Li Yu in a daze.

"What's going on here? What happened?"

Li Yu was also puzzled, "How would I know? I've never seen such a thing."

The girls standing behind Lu You heard their conversation, couldn't help laughing, covered their mouths and laughed.

One of the girls laughed and said, "Squad leader, so you don't understand anything!"

Inexplicably aggrieved, Lu You turned her head and asked, "What do I need to know?"

The girl shook her head, "No...it's nothing, we misunderstood you, it's best if you don't understand."

Lu You was speechless, saying it was the same as not saying it.

……

On the way back to the military training base, Tang Wan was chatting and laughing with other girls. Xu Nian made sure that she was not paying attention to him, so he pushed to the front of the line alone and patted Li Yu on the shoulder.

"Li Yu, I have a few questions for you."

Li Yu lowered his gaze, glanced at her, and said, "Ask. I will tell you if it has nothing to do with privacy."

Xu Nian thought for a while, and then said, "How long have you known him?"

"Who? Lu You?"

"It's him." Xu Nian nodded.

"It's been six or seven years. Do you want to ask him about it?"

Xu Nian looked in the direction of class three, Lu You led the team at the front, and from time to time the girls behind him would say something to him, and he would occasionally reply.

"Well, he...what was he like in school when he was in junior high school." Xu Nian originally wanted to ask what kind of person he was, but it didn't feel right for him, so he changed the way of asking.

Li Yu recalled it for a while, and said slowly: "In school, be quiet, introverted, and keep a low profile."

Xu Nian's eyes widened all of a sudden, and he couldn't think of Lu You's introverted appearance.

"You didn't lie to me? People who sing calmly on stage will be introverted?"

"I didn't lie to you. When he was in junior high school, he was like this in school. Of course, he is not in other places. Normally, he is quite active and talkative, but he needs to have acquaintances."

"Why is this?" Xu Nian couldn't understand.

"The requirements of the family, and the environment of the school. I can't tell you the details. If you want to know, you can ask yourself."

Xu Nian narrowed his eyes and stared at him, "Why does it feel like a novel, is your family complicated?"

Li Yu shook his head and said, "No, our family is very simple, with one father and one mother, no cheating, no second marriage."

"Okay." Since there was no information to be found in this area, Xu Nian changed the subject, "What do you usually do?"

"Play board games, play Apex, LOL, etc., watch movies occasionally."

yeah?Similar to my interest!

Xu Nian was a little surprised, "I can do these too, will you bring me one next time?"

Li Yu returned suspicious eyes, "Really?"

"Didn't I play board games with you when school started, have you forgotten?"

"It seems, I thought you were just here to join in the fun."

Xu Nian was very happy, and his tone was full of joy, feeling that he had found a kindred spirit, "Do you have many friends? Do you mind bringing me one next time?"

Li Yu fell silent now, "There are only two of us."

"Two people playing board games?" Xu Nian couldn't believe it, and teased him, "What's so fun about two people? Doudizhu is one less person, playing train?"

"Uh..." Li Yu was very embarrassed, and didn't know how to reply to her, "We'll just buy it back, thinking about how many friends we have so we can play together."

"and then?"

"It's still two people."

"Hahaha~" Xu Nian smiled and burst into tears. "One brought a board game to break the ice when school started, and the other looked like a sea king. I didn't expect that they were two social-phobic otaku!"

Li Yu hurriedly pulled her in front of him, and said anxiously, "Stop laughing! Everyone else is watching!"

"Ahem..." Xu Nian took a few deep breaths to control his emotions, "No, don't you have many friends in junior high school?"

Li Yu was helpless and had a headache, "You are not us, so it's hard to tell clearly." Then his eyes dimmed, "Those people in junior high school are really unknown to us."

Xu Nian noticed that Li Yu's mood was different, and said in a soothing tone, "Hey, I've passed junior high school, so I don't care about it. What about high school, are high school people much better than junior high school?"

"No one knows us in high school, and everyone has the idea of ​​learning, which is much better than that in junior high school." Li Yu added in his heart: there are no restrictions on family members.

Xu Nian touched Li Yu with his elbow, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said to him: "In the future, you can call me one when the board game opens. I will come when I have time. Although there are very few three people, at least it is a good start. .”

The girl's smile was like a gust of wind, blowing into Li Yu's heart, causing ripples. There seemed to be thousands of words in her mind, but she couldn't open them. In the end, they only merged into a gentle look between her eyebrows and a sentence.

"Okay, I remember."
