Later, when Lao Lin mentioned this scene, he said that he always felt that the recognition scene was ahead of time, and that there was no feeling of father and daughter recognizing each other after that.
As expected of Lao Lin.
—
The oasis base, the big dining hall, is completely dark.
She, Lu Zhihao, Hanamaki, and Pei Zhi sat in a row, and Lao Lin sat opposite.
For the first time in three days, they didn't go to evening self-study, but came to the cafeteria for dinner. There were five bowls of porridge in front of each of them, as if they were allied with blood.
Lu Zhihao's eyes were red and swollen because of crying, but he looked at the strange uncle in front of him with hopeful eyes.
"Uncle, are you really going to teach us?" Lu Zhihao asked.
"I don't really want to." Lao Lin said, and glanced at her, "It's your classmate Lin Zhaoxi who said that you have a secret to tell me, so I insisted on coming."
Lin Zhaoxi lowered her head silently. She had not cut her long hair, so she tied it in a bun on top of her head with a rubber band. She was lowering her head to move the bun, pretending she didn't hear anything.
Lu Zhihao: "Then uncle, your math is so good, how can we learn from you..."
"Oh, I'm not good at math."
Lu Zhihao choked.
Lao Lin chatted to death again.
Lin Zhaoxi raised her head abruptly: "Master, be serious!"
"Why do you have to be serious? It's just learning mathematics, not eating porridge. Why do you want to be serious?"
As he spoke, he picked up the bowl on the table, picked up a chopstick of milk cucumber, and drank it by himself, sitting upright, as if he was doing this very seriously.
Hanajuan and Pei Zhi looked at each other, feeling that the future was bleak, Lin Zhaoxi stroked his forehead.
After taking two mouthfuls of porridge, Lao Lin raised his head and suddenly asked, "What do you want to learn?"
Hanamaki: "Mathematics!"
Lu Zhihao: "Olympiad!"
Lao Lin: "Which one?"
"Well, you can figure it out?" Lin Zhaoxi said casually.
Lao Lin put down the bowl, and continued to be serious: "I don't have 'it's up to you' here, you should first figure out the difference between Mathematical Olympiad and mathematics, and then answer my question."
"Is there a difference?" Hanamaki was confused.
"Anyway, the strokes are different. What kind of observation is this?" Lao Lin put down the bowl and left, "I can't take this class."
"Come back soon." Lin Zhaoxi shouted.
Lao Lin sat back in his seat again, touched his chin, and got into the mood again in a second, "Everyone tell me, in your concept, what is the difference between Mathematical Olympiad and Mathematics."
He raised his chopsticks and nodded Pei Zhi: "Brother Genius, you go first."
Pei Zhi was also stunned, he had never been called a genius so clearly and aboveboard, he was very uncomfortable.
"Get used to it." Lao Lin saw through his thoughts, "In the future, more and more people will call you 'Wow~', 'He's so smart', 'Oh my god'!" "It's not shameful to be a genius, after all, I am too."
Lin Zhaoxi continued to support her forehead.
Pei Zhi raised his eyebrows, and under the bright light, he began to seriously think about Lao Lin's question. It seems that the place where they sit is not a cafeteria, but a very serious classroom.
After a while, he looked at Lao Lin and said, "Mathematics is a subject." He paused, "Olympiad, I don't understand."
Lao Lin snapped his fingers, and his rough fingertips moved towards Lu Zhihao.
"Counting... Mathematics is easy, Olympiad... Olympiad is difficult?" After Lu Zhihao finished speaking, he felt that something was wrong, so he could only wrinkle his face, his chubby face was covered with wrinkles, and looked eagerly at Lao Lin.
"What do you think?" Lao Lin asked her.
"I think, if mathematics is a car, Mathematical Olympiad is an old driver who trains you to drift around corners?" she said.
Hearing this, Lao Lin smacked his lips, silently lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, then put down the bowl and said, "It seems to make sense."
Being praised by Lao Lin, Lin Zhaoxi was very happy. In particular, Lao Lin is a real person, which means he does not tell lies.
Not only her, but Lao Lin's eyes fell on Lu Zhihao's face, and he said, "Your opinion is also correct to a certain extent. The first-grade Olympiad is more difficult than your first-grade math textbook, it's obvious."
Finally, he looked at Pei Zhi who answered the least, and said, "Brother Genius, you are very honest. You have thought about my question very seriously, so you are even more confused."
Pei Zhi nodded.
"To understand the difference between mathematics and Mathematical Olympiad, I can sum up many sentences according to your views, according to one, two, three, four, five balabala, but these are meaningless, I hope you forget these things." Lao Lin said.
"Then why are you still asking us?" Hanamaki asked with his legs crossed.
"I mean, forget about the specific sentences. Feel for yourself, what is the difference between Olympiad and mathematics."
When Lao Lin said this, the aunt in the cafeteria shouted from behind: "Stop chatting, Lao Lin, come and collect the dishes!"
"Come on, come on!" Lao Lin stood up happily, jumped out of the bench, and left as soon as he said it.
—
"Is this uncle really reliable?"
Seeing Lao Lin jumping away, Hanamaki hurriedly asked.
"You were there when Uncle played with stones that day!" Lu Zhihao said, "Uncle is really good."
"But his good math doesn't mean he can teach us well." Hanamaki said, poking Pei Zhi, "What do you think, Brother Genius?"
Classmate Pei Zhi was eating porridge when he stabbed him and almost spit it out.
After a long time, Pei Zhicai said slowly: "If you think about it this way, just try it."
Hanajuan lowered his head and drank two mouthfuls of porridge, and finally understood the meaning of Pei Zhi's words, and immediately defended: "Actually, I don't really want to learn math that much, really!"
Lin Zhaoxi laughed and looked into the distance.
Lao Lin was wearing a white uniform from the cafeteria of the oasis base, with a thin back, and was helping his aunt to move the stainless steel plate onto the cart. He has no airs of a scholar at all, chatting with many people around him casually, more like an ordinary worker.
The cafeteria is always well lit, the air is filled with the aroma of rice and stir-fried vegetables, the children are laughing and laughing constantly, and Lao Lin seems to be able to glow under the incandescent lamp.
Lin Zhaoxi still feels like she is dreaming. She never expected that Lao Lin would resign his job as a park ranger at will and come to the oasis because of his phone call.
What she didn't expect was that Lao Lin would really agree to work in the cafeteria, doing odd jobs and teaching them something at the same time.
Of course, Lu Zhihao and Hanamaki secretly asked many times, why did uncle come to teach us, why is he willing to teach us
Lin Zhaoxi didn't know what Lao Lin was really thinking, so she couldn't give a definite answer.
But based on her knowledge of the former old Lin, she would probably reply, what's wrong
As long as I like it, I can live however I want.
