Chapter 151 I didn’t expect that he was a great university student
morning.

There were only two spirit stones left in the [warehouse]. In order to prepare for an emergency, Lin Li came to the community park to practice martial arts for the first time in a long time today, practicing the odd-numbered physical chapters.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandpa Zhou." Before practicing, Lin Li greeted Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei looked at Lin Li for three seconds and sighed: "You finally came back. I thought you had given up."

The longing was beyond words, and Lin Li keenly read the arrogant Lao Deng's little thoughts.

"The word 'give up' doesn't exist in my dictionary, Grandpa. I'm not one of those young people who would give up halfway." Lin Li said proudly.

Of course, the dictionary Lin Li was talking about was the Oxford Dictionary in his home. It was full of foreign words, and the Oxford dictionary really didn't give up on these two words.

It’s just like Edison never said the word “give up”. After all, this guy can’t speak Chinese at all.

As for the numerous Chinese dictionaries, they are filled with things that cannot be reviewed.

"Is it important to emphasize that you are a young person? Now things are getting interesting. An old horse is still ambitious. I will always keep an eye on you and I will not give up." Zhou Youwei stared at Lin Li and issued a battle declaration.

"No problem, I won't let you down." Lin Li will prove his perseverance.

Then I started practicing.

Halfway through the practice, Zhang Fang was walking on the road outside the bushes. When she saw Lin Li and Zhou Youwei, she suddenly seemed to remember something and called out to them, "Old Zhou, Little Lin."

"Hey, what's wrong, Grandma Zhang?" Lin Li put away his boxing stance and asked.

"Xiao Lin, I noticed that you haven't replied to the message in the community group. Let me ask you now, are you two going to the community activity room to make mooncakes later?" Zhang Fang asked, and then showed the bag in her hand, which seemed to contain raw materials such as flour.

Generally, good properties will organize some activities during holidays, but this is definitely not the kind of treatment that Lin Li’s community will have. This activity should be organized by their unofficial neighborhood committee, which pays for it without charging any reward.

In old neighborhoods, most of the residents are older and prefer to organize activities, which can help both participants and organizers kill some time.

In fact, it’s just to find a reason for everyone to get together to work and chat.

"No, I'm not interested in making mooncakes." Zhou Youwei waved his hand first.

Lin Li wanted to refuse, after all, he might as well sleep and study, but he changed his mind and nodded: "Okay, Grandma Zhang, the activity room, right? I'll go over after I finish my exercise and take a shower."

There was also a "body-building and disease-eliminating pill" in Lin Li's [warehouse], which he intended to give to Wu Min. But the problem was that this thing was as big as a Chinese medicine pill, and Lin Li had not found a reason or opportunity to let Wu Min eat it in the past few days.

Making mooncakes by yourself might be a good opportunity.

"I'll go too." Zhou Youwei immediately changed his words.

Lin Li and Zhang Fang suddenly turned their heads to look at Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei's old face remained calm: "I am worried about Lin Li leaving. I must keep an eye on him."

Lin Li and Zhang Fang were both relieved.

The two looked at each other, and everything was said without words:
Xiaolin, you have a really good relationship with Lao Zhou.

Yes, Xiao Zhou and I have a really good relationship.

……

[Get up before the Mao hour for one month and practice the Eight-Stage Body Building Exercise seriously, before the Chen hour, for at least half an hour in total (11/30)]

After finishing his workout, he went back to take a shower and change his clothes. He then materialized the "Body Building and Disease Relief Pill" in advance, wrapped it in a tissue and put it in his pocket. Then, Lin Li came to the community's activity room.

The "Body Health Pill" now had a small flaw - Lin Li took a little for himself, and it tasted just like Chinese medicine, a bit astringent and slightly bitter, not very tasty.

But there were no magical phenomena, such as feeling energy flowing through the body.

This way I can feel more at ease that nothing unusual will happen to my mother after she eats it.

There were actually not many people in the activity room, and just as Lin Li had expected, they were basically all of the older generation or older, mostly grandmothers and aunts. Men were extremely rare here, and almost no one spoke Mandarin when chatting, they all spoke the Xiling dialect.

Zhou Youwei hasn't arrived yet.

Zhang Fang saw Lin Li, walked over, wiped her hands, and asked, "Xiao Lin, do you know how to make mooncakes?"

"I just watched the tutorial, I should be able to do it." Lin Li said honestly.

There is nothing shameful in learning on the spot. Before getting a system, everyone in his life was learning on the spot.

"Okay, let me tell you. Here are the ingredients, here is the prepared flour, the mold is here, and the microwave is over there. Mooncakes are simple to make, and you young people are smart. If you don't understand anything, just ask me or everyone else."

"Okay, thank you grandma."

Zhang Fang smiled and nodded, then went back to continue making mooncakes while chatting with a few friends.

As soon as Zhang Fang left, the only young man present came over and patted Lin Li on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's go make mooncakes. I'll take you."

Lin Li: "?"

Who are you sending it to, bro?
As if seeing Lin Li's confusion, the young man quickly whispered: "You don't want to become the topic of conversation among the grandparents later, do you? Saving me is also saving yourself!"

Lin Li: "..."

Young people among a group of elderly people are indeed likely to become the focus.

Now many people were looking at Lin Li with curiosity.

"Okay." It's indeed easier to communicate with young people. Lin Li nodded and followed the other party to the materials area.

The fillings provided are few and classic, including date paste, lotus seed paste and egg yolk, and five-nut fillings. As for the ingredients for new-style mooncakes, they are not found here at all.

These three kinds of mooncakes have their own merits. The date paste tastes better than the other two, the lotus seed paste and egg yolk tastes more fragrant than the other two, and the five-nut number is more than the other two.

Who invented the green and red silk in the five-nut mooncake? Lin Li felt uncomfortable when he saw this thing. Just by looking at it, he could smell a choking sweet smell coming up.

So I chose the other two fillings without hesitation.

"What's your name? My name is Zeng Ziang." The young man introduced himself.

"My name is Lin Li."

Lin Li began to take flour and use a rolling pin to make the dough. He took another look at the size of the mold and thought that it should be no problem to put the "Healthy Body and Disease-Relief Pill" in it.

"Lin Li, are you here alone?" Zeng Ziang asked with some confusion while spreading the pancake skin.

"Ah."

"Why are you so upset that you come here alone to make mooncakes at just seven in the morning?" Zeng Ziang was even more shocked. "I thought you were brought here by your family like me."

Zeng Ziang then sighed again, "When I just came home from school during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, they treated me like a treasure, but after just a few days, they already started to dislike me."

Lin Li didn't quite understand Zeng Ziang's situation.

Wu Min has been home for so long, and Lin Li has never disliked her.

As for how our sister Min sees herself, she should always be displeased with herself.

"But brother, are you still in school? A graduate student?" Zeng Ziang was young but relatively young. His appearance had nothing to do with a child. Lin Li believed him if he said he had been working for a few years.

"Now I'm in my senior year, and I also want to be a graduate student. However, after I showed the first draft of my thesis to my teacher once, I gave up." Zeng Ziang shook his head.

"Why?" Lin Li asked curiously.

“Because my advisor said my thesis was too strategically important.”

"Then shouldn't this be studied in the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"But he said that the strategic significance is that if they can find a way to get other countries to steal my paper, their country's technology will regress by ten years. I suspect he is being sarcastic."

"Brother, you can believe in yourself." After a moment of silence, Lin Li encouraged.

"I do believe in myself. I actually think my thesis is OK, but the decision is in the hands of the teacher, and he doesn't listen to me."

"No, brother, what I just meant is that you should trust your own judgment. Your mentor is just being sarcastic. Don't doubt it." Lin Li explained quickly.

Zeng Ziang: "..."

"Lin Li, has anyone ever told you that your words are hurtful?"

"Everyone says so." Lin Li nodded.

Zeng Ziang: "..."

Is he a habitual offender?

"Since my undergraduate thesis is so difficult to write, why should I even think about my graduate thesis? Do I have to wait for an extension to graduate? Plus, my English is not good, so I completely gave up on graduate school." Zeng Ziang returned to the original topic.

"So brother, are you planning to find a job? Are you doing an internship? Do you have any way to make money?" Lin Li asked curiously.

"No, it's hard to find a job now, so I'm taking the civil service exam." Zeng Ziang shook his head, but then complained helplessly: "But the current environment is really difficult. I looked at the positions in our Xiling, and the ratio of applicants is even hundreds to one. I don't know what to say. Only one person is recruited out of hundreds of people. It's crazy.

Alas, the environment was better before, but now it is really hard to survive."

"Indeed." Lin Li nodded, expressing his approval. "In the past, there was no action plan, no essay, and you could go ashore as long as you were castrated."

Zeng Ziang: “?”

"Well... Lin Li, this past you mentioned is a bit too past. If it was this past, I might not have taken the civil service exam." Zeng Ziang felt a chill in his crotch and was sweating profusely.

The time he was talking about was a few years ago, while the time Lin Li was talking about was hundreds of years ago.

"Lin Li, what are you studying now, high school?" Zeng Ziang felt that he could not keep up with Lin Li. He thought it would be worse to be besieged by the older generation if he continued talking about himself, so he changed the subject.

"Yes, first year of high school." Lin Li nodded.

"What high school?"

"Nan-san."

"You're so amazing! I missed Nansang by six points in the high school entrance exam, so I could only go to Xiling No. 1 Middle School." Zeng Ziang praised and then sighed:
"It was great. High school was a magical time. I wouldn't be willing to go back and suffer for another three years, but I will always miss those three years. How does the saying go? What's worth remembering is not the battlefield, but the comrades."

"Is college life bad?" Lin Li asked after hearing this.

"There must be some who live a good life." Zeng Ziang immediately retorted.

Lin Li: "?"

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, you just pretended I didn't say that." Zeng Ziang immediately shut his mouth.

I really deserve to die. How could I have corrupted an innocent high school student?

"Ahem, life is definitely a hundred times better than high school. Let me describe it this way. The first seventeen weeks of each semester in college is like being able to go to a top-notch massage parlor to soak your feet anytime... S-Do you understand this description? You probably haven't soaked your feet before. Anyway, all you need to know is that it's very, very comfortable and enjoyable."

Lin Li sneered in his heart.

Old man, who are you looking down on?

Who hasn’t soaked their feet?

I don't know how many times I've done it, and soaking it is easy for me.

But Lin Li then asked, "What about after seventeen weeks?"

"Haha." Zeng Ziang suddenly laughed with relief, "College life after the final week is like drinking up all the foot bath water you used for the previous 17 weeks."

Lin Li: "..."

"If you work hard and don't soak your feet for the first seventeen weeks, this water won't have any odor and you can drink it up in no time."

"But if you soak your feet every day for seventeen weeks, this water...will be very difficult and painful to swallow, and it will sore your throat."

Zeng Zi'ang spoke the first half of his sentence perfunctorily, but the second half was sincere and heartfelt, so there is no doubt which part he belongs to.

Lin Li nodded in approval.

What an apt description, it immediately feels real.
