Chapter 61: Being a Stepmother 29
Although Haicheng is big, it has no appeal to Ye Zhiqiu, who is used to the bustling city. Not to mention now, even decades later, Haicheng will be no different from other bustling cities to her. The busy city only has one impression for her - traffic jam.
There are few four-wheeled vehicles on the road now, and private cars are almost non-existent. While it is pedestrian-friendly, it also makes travel inconvenient. Apart from buses, the only way to get around is by foot.
After a day of walking outside, Ye Zhiqiu's feet couldn't stand it anymore. In the following days, he not only changed into a pair of comfortable shoes, but also reduced the number of attractions he visited every day to one. Although he had seen most of these attractions, the contrast between the prosperous and lively scenes decades later and the deserted and lonely scenes now was still a different kind of fun.
After visiting all the major attractions, the date for school registration had also arrived. After leaving the travel agency, she found an empty corner to take out her large and small luggage from the space, and then she walked slowly to school step by step.
Although the heavy luggage affected her temperament, her 90% new clothes and fair skin still attracted a lot of attention.
Usually Ye Zhiqiu doesn't think she is beautiful by comparison with the past. In fact, although she has been in the village for the past two years, she has also maintained a good complexion. In the village, she would also do physical sunscreen when working in the fields. Her young face is full of collagen, and she is a youthful and beautiful scenery without makeup.
After thanking the seniors who offered to help, Ye Zhiqiu dragged her heavy luggage to find the girls’ dormitory alone. Fortunately, she lived on the third floor and did not have to climb too many stairs.
When she pushed the door open, someone had already arrived. Even though she had prepared herself mentally and knew that the dormitory conditions would not be very good, it was still beyond her expectations.
This is the top university in Haicheng. If I change to other schools, I don’t know how much worse the conditions will be. It seems that I will have a hard time in the next four years. Buying a house is not in my plan for the time being.
Don't be fooled by the stories of the time where people often buy old courtyard houses and then spend a lot of money to renovate them. That's all deception. Ye Zhiqiu would not do such a stupid thing. Not to mention that there is nothing in this era, even decades later, there will be countless pitfalls in renovation.
Decades later, decoration companies have sprung up like mushrooms, professional decoration teams can be found everywhere, and the building materials market can provide one-stop shopping. However, professionals who don’t understand will still fall into the trap. Looking at the decoration notes of netizens, you can tell that it is a complete tear of bitterness.
Those who don't understand will fall into a trap, and those who understand decoration will also have to endure hardships. As long as you turn your back and not pay attention, the decoration workers will dare to cut corners and fool you. This is still the rough decoration of a building, which is much simpler than the decoration of a courtyard house.
She couldn't bear the hardship of renovation, nor did she want to spend money to suffer. If she really wanted to buy a house, she would wait a few years and buy a building. If she really wanted a yard, she could buy a villa when she had money in the future. It didn't have to be a courtyard house.
Living in an 8-person dormitory made Ye Zhiqiu feel unhappy. In order not to affect her mood, she decided to go back to the dormitory on time and not go to bed until bedtime.
Although she didn't love studying as much as other students, it was not too difficult to get up at five in the morning in an era without mobile phones, computers or the Internet.
On the first day of class, the teacher asked the students to introduce themselves. After knowing Ye Zhiqiu's grades, the classmates were surprised that she chose biological science.
They had to choose biological sciences, and some of the students were transferred. With her scores, she could easily get into the best majors in the two best universities in Beijing, so why would she be so desperate to choose an unpopular major?
Ye Zhiqiu didn't want to study biological science either. When she filled out her application, the majors she chose were all related to agronomy or botany. Perhaps this was the reason why she was assigned to biological science.
The college entrance examination had just been resumed and nothing was on track. It was normal that the admissions work was chaotic in the first year. She had heard that many people received admission letters that were different from their application letters, but the students who received the letters would not make a fuss. As long as there was a place to go, no one would refuse.
If you make such a fuss that you lose your admission letter, you won’t even have time to cry. Not everyone has the courage to try again, and most importantly, there is no guarantee that you will pass the college entrance examination even if you take it again.
Ye Zhiqiu was not in a position to explain the situation in detail to her classmates, so she explained her talent in biological sciences to save trouble. She thought that this would relieve her worries, but she didn't know that she was actually shooting herself in the foot.
Knowing that she loved biological science, the teacher paid special attention to her in class and often called on her to answer questions. Seeing that she could basically answer them correctly, the teacher not only did not let her go, but asked her even more difficult questions.
After confirming that her learning ability was better than other students and her foundation in basic subjects was better than other things, the progress was accelerated and she was allowed to enter the laboratory directly when she was only a freshman.
This really offended a group of senior students in the laboratory. Although they knew that the teacher liked her, they did not dare to embarrass her in person and could only gossip about her behind her back.
Ye Zhiqiu doesn't care what his senior brothers and sisters think. Let alone doing scientific research, even being an ordinary employee in the workplace doesn't make sense to give in. If you take a step back, the other party will take advantage of it and bully you, so you must seize the opportunity.
If it were someone else, they might still be nervous. It would be a lie for Ye Zhiqiu to say that she was not nervous, but she had the system in her hands. After knowing that she would enter the laboratory, she immediately looked for system transactions. Not only did she exchange a lot of study materials, she even replaced the same equipment in the laboratory, just to have more time to do experiments.
It is true that the teacher brought her into the laboratory, but there were many people using the equipment. Not to mention that she was a newbie in the laboratory, even the teacher had to compete with other teachers for use time, so the biggest bug was that she could have a laboratory to herself.
Ye Zhiqiu was still not satisfied with the cheats, and wanted the system to slow down the flow of time. It would be best if the time ratio between space and reality could be 10:1, meaning ten minutes in space and one minute outside, so that she would have more time to study.
System: "Forget about it if you can't do it. The most important thing for genius is 1% inspiration, not 99% hard work. I'll give you a 100 to 1, but it still won't work."
Ye Zhiqiu was furious: "What do you mean? I just want to have more time to learn agriculture. Don't forget that we still have to go to other worlds. I am doing this for your own good. It's a win-win situation. Why are you still being so sarcastic? What do I want?"
The system was still stubborn: "Who knows what you want? Anyway, I don't have the ability to change time and space. If I had that ability, why would I need you? If you want to learn agriculture, you don't have to audit other schools. I have all the information. If you want to do experiments, it's easy. The system can arrange it as long as you have enough points."
The system boils it down to one sentence: if you complete the task well, you will have bread, milk, and everything you want. If you don't complete the task, no matter how well the experiment is done, if there is no result, it will be a waste of hard work.
