I am studying and eating melons in Chronicle

Ling Li was dealing with piles of documents in the office, and when he saw her coming, he showed a long-lost smile: "Dr. Yun is so busy that he doesn't have time to make an appointment all year long."

Yunling sat across from her unceremoniously: "What are you talking about? In terms of busyness, how can it be compared to our Director Ling? I heard that your chair has been changed recently?"

"It's not decided yet." But the confidence in her eyes that she was determined to win already revealed some rumors, "Let's not talk about this for now, let's talk about business."

"I have registered your request for you. The leader's idea is that as long as you can graduate early, it is not impossible to arrange it. But at the hospital, you have to go there occasionally after graduation to participate in discussions about difficult and complicated diseases. surgical protocols and regular academic lectures.”

Yunling nodded: "That's no problem."

Ling Li turned over a page of meeting minutes, frowned slightly when he saw the content above, and said slowly: "But... the Institute of Physics will not lower the threshold for you. You have to take the exam and interview according to the recruitment procedures, but it is open to you additionally. It’s just a registration qualification.”

"It's normal and reasonable." Yunling said without any hesitation, "When will it start?"

"You can do it at any time. You set a time and I'll notify them there."

Ling Li saw that she looked calm and confident, and asked doubtfully: "As far as I know, the content and difficulty of the exam will not be too narrow and simple. It will be several times more difficult than the university professional exam. You have to be mentally prepared. Also, Do you have any reserve knowledge in this area before? Why am I not impressed?"

Yunling couldn't help but fall into memories. On the day when she opened the title page of the basic engineering book many years ago, it was the time of harvest in the wheat fields. The sound of energetic radio drifted in outside the window, which became the background music for chewing on obscure and boring square words. The feelings of that day seem to still be vivid in my mind and come back to my heart.

“I have studied mechanical manufacturing and other engineering-related knowledge a long time ago in order to solve the problem of backwardness in medical devices. In fact, no matter which subject I study, the deeper I learn, the more basic my knowledge becomes.”

“When you travel far and near, you humble yourself when you climb high. The destination of all things is ultimately physics.”

Ling Li seemed to have found some memory traces, and suddenly said: "So you were planning to take this road from then on! I thought you were just on a whim."

"There is no one in the world who succeeds without hard work. I am not such a sudden person, am I?" Yunling helplessly spread her hands.

"Yes, yes, you are not." Ling Li took out the application report from the notebook, "Now fill it out and give it to me. I will send it to you before get off work, and then you just wait for the news."

"Your business is quite extensive." She joked while laughing.

Ling Li rolled his eyes, picked up the enamel teapot and blew on it: "Our Ministry of National Security has serious things to do, and we are so busy every day! Your affairs were originally considered part of my job, but now I can't distinguish between public and private matters. .”

Yunling smiled flatteringly and presented the report to her with both hands, with a very respectful attitude.

"There will be a lot of trouble for Ms. Ling in the future."

"Okay, Dr. Yun has a free day at the end of the month, so you can treat me to a meal."

"That's natural."

After Yunling returned home, she saw that residents of the family home of a government unit not far away had begun to move in and out.

Aunt Ming chatted casually: "They moved very quickly. I heard the old man next door muttering that the residential buildings were picked out before the office building was evenly decorated."

"But yes, everyone wants to live in the building now. This building is so popular! The floorboards are neat, convenient and decent. There are seven floors in total! People who live on the top floor climb up and down You have to be tired anyway."

Yunling used a tea clip to take out the tea leaves from the white porcelain jar and put it into the boiling purple clay pot. After the flowing water boiled for three times, she sat comfortably on the mahogany rocking chair and drank tea quietly.

After returning to his senses, he continued the topic: "I think our bungalow is quite nice. It's spacious, transparent and clean."

Aunt Ming laughed at her while choosing vegetables: "How can this be a bungalow? I used to live in that large courtyard, and the earthen house of my ex-law's family is better!"

"I've been to the courtyard where my friend lives before. Except there are more people and more liveliness, the feeling is pretty much the same." It's not the same!

In fact, many large courtyards were divided and renovated from a set of courtyards. Even if they were eventually taken back, they were decorated to look nondescript. So putting aside the psychological factors, when many people return to China to inspect their houses, based on this alone, they would rather resell them than let them collect dust in their hands.

Speaking of her friend's courtyard, Yunling suddenly remembered that Qi Xiaoxiao had moved to a new house a few days ago, near the Friendship Hotel in the western suburbs, and called her to invite her to have a dinner in two days.

But she had just come back a few days ago and was so busy that she hadn't prepared a gift yet, so she couldn't just give her a gift.

Although there is no need to be polite between the two of them, this is too perfunctory.

When Mingchuan Xia heard about this, she gave her a suggestion: "Yesterday, I was chatting with the old lady next door. She said that she bought a set of cosmetics for my daughter-in-law from the Friendship Store for foreigners. You can go there to pick out gifts."

At the end, he sighed with longing: "The outside world is different now from a few years ago. Everything is for sale. It's not like before when you couldn't buy anything even if you had money. It's better for the country to develop..."

Yunling nodded when she heard the words, holding a porcelain cup in her hand, and echoed: "Yes, I hope it will last forever, and the weather will be new every year."

During the change of seasons, people buy new clothes, and the Friendship Store is crowded with people, but it is well organized, with no one negotiating or making noise.

Aunt Ming strongly persuaded her to take off her everlasting white shirt and black trousers, muttering: "Girls should dress up brightly and make people happy to look at them."

So when Yunling got off the car, she was wearing a light blue floral skirt, revealing her healthy white legs, and the brisk and elegant skirt fluttered in the wind. It was really eye-catching, fresh and natural.

Even she herself had an inexplicable feeling that after wearing a skirt for once, her whole body felt lighter, more relaxed and unrestrained.

"Hello, comrade, what do you need?" Even the salesperson's service attitude is much warmer and more polite than before.

Yunling looked around but didn't see what she wanted. "I bought some gifts for my friend's housewarming. I'll take a look around first."

"Okay, please feel free to call us if you need anything."

She walked around in a circle and finally walked to the furniture store. She must have beds, tables and chairs that Qi Xiaoxiao also had, but they were too clumsy and expensive to take with her.

After much picking and choosing, I chose the Watson brand electric fan.

Even though Qijia may have had one electric fan before, it doesn't prevent him from getting a new one.

After she finished shopping, she saw a batch of new electrical appliances being carried into the mall through the back door, and asked the salesperson: "What are those? When will they be put on the shelves?"

The salesperson stood on tiptoe and looked around: "Those that are not on the shelves are all pre-ordered before. Our domestic refrigerators, color TVs and air conditioners..."

Yes.

This world is very different from the novel with Su Nuan as the protagonist.

Home appliances such as refrigerators, color TVs, and air conditioners, which were only popular in ordinary people's homes in the 1980s and 1990s, are now selling well in some big cities.

Today, after nearly ten years of keeping a low profile, China has established a firm foothold on the world stage and has gradually become a leader in terms of technology, military, medical, and industry.

Yunling also belatedly realized that the wooden box she dug out from the cellar and the first information she handed over "containing private goods" did not disappear.

It's just that this lion needs to stretch after taking a nap. (End of chapter)
