The scientific research team has already allocated a dormitory. Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai live in a double room, and Ji Xingling and Huang Xu live in a single room.
The conditions in the impoverished village will definitely not be too good. As soon as Yang Xiaobai opened the closet, a musty smell came out, and the table was even more bumpy. Boys of this age have never done much housework at home. Xing Luo picked up the dirty rag in the basin with two fingers, wrinkling his nose: "Do you have rubber gloves?"
"Yes, and I brought a new rag." Yang Xiaobai's four large suitcases finally came into use. "My mother was a poverty alleviation cadre before, and she knew that it must be very difficult here, so she prepared a lot of things. This bag I'll give you the wet wipes first, hey, do you think we should share some with the seniors?"
"I don't know." Xing Luo glanced out the window, then pointed to Ji Xingling's dormitory, "But with Brother Song here, we shouldn't have to worry about it."
After Yang Xiaobai thought about it, he was right, so he found some daily necessities and biscuits from the box, and wanted to give them to Huang Xu. Before going out, the car horn sounded outside the hospital, and three or four people walked in with their suitcases on their backs. The staff of the scientific research team looked at it for a moment: "Which institution are you from?"
"We are here to deliver luggage to Xiaoxing." The driver, Lao Feng, checked the house number with his mobile phone, "Is this the address?"
"..."
Ji Xingling himself was also very confused, didn't he say that there were only two boxes, why there are now six, and what happened to my mother.
Hu Meimei spoke confidently on the phone: "Isn't this because I'm afraid that if you can't bear the hardships, you will sneak back at night? Now I have prepared all the food, clothing, housing and transportation for you, so as not to embarrass me if you give up halfway."
Sitting by the bed, Ji Xingling had nothing to say, can you have a little confidence in your son, and this gesture of giving things with great fanfare... He leaned back and put one hand in front of his eyes: "Mom, let's discuss something, don't talk about it in the future." Is it okay to make up your own mind? And Bihai Kechuang, their people are too special to take care of me, can you tell Uncle Liu?"
"Why did you take special care of you?" Hu Meimei wondered, "I didn't mention it to Mr. Liu, how could he know."
Ji Xingling replied: "It seems that he sent a driver to take care of me, and his hospitality made me think that I didn't get the quota by myself, but by my dad."
"You said that this old Liu should not take care of what he should take care of." Hu Meimei had a headache when she heard it, "Don't worry, Mom will definitely take care of this matter for you."
"Then I'll go eat first." Ji Xingling said, "You and my dad also go to bed earlier."
He rummaged through the suitcase that Lao Feng had sent him, not to mention spending ten days in Quanshui Village, ten days of survival on a deserted island would be enough. Lin Jing also called at this time, asking about the situation here.
"It's okay, the mobile phone signal is pretty good." Ji Xingling unscrewed a bottle of water with one hand.
"Have you got a meal yet?"
"No, it seems that Yang Xiaobai and the others are helping with cooking."
"Then why didn't you go?"
"..."
Lin Jing leaned on the railing and laughed: "I'm not saying that you have to cook, but don't you like being treated special, don't you have to blend in with the people properly?"
"I didn't think about it just now." Ji Xingling spoke easily, "Okay, then I'll go and have a look, and you can continue your self-study."
"Ji Xingling."
"What's wrong?"
"Be careful when you help, don't blow up the kitchen."
"... I thought you were going to say that you love me so much."
"Well, I love you so much."
Being "loved" by Mr. Xiaolin, you Xingge was in a good mood, and took the initiative to go to the kitchen to undertake a job of cooking dumplings. Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai were very surprised, and while passing him a plate, they asked, "Senior, do you know how to cook?"
Ji Xingling replied casually: "Not really."
But I have to show off and blend in.
Just as I was talking, the noodle soup in the pot burst, and the flames of the old-fashioned stove shot up a foot high. The cooking lady hurried in and drove out the three high school students who were called helpers but were actually troublemakers. , and casually handed Ji Xingling a plate of steamed buns, the main idea was probably to ask the little ancestors to find something ready-made to eat when they are hungry, and not to add chaos everywhere.
Huang Xu pushed the door out after hearing the movement, and asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"
Ji Xingling took advantage of the situation and raised the plate in his hand: "I made some steamed buns for you, do you want to eat?"
Huang Xu: "..."
Yang Xiaobai and Xing Luo were laughing at the side, it was only then that they felt that the senior was not very cold. In the end, the four of them returned the steamed buns and helped put away the dishes. Xiao Song may have received a new instruction call, so he finally stopped appearing out of nowhere to take care of the young master. During the meal, Yang Xiaobai asked in a low voice, "I still have a dozen Cokes in the box, do you want it?"
Ji Xingling and Huang Xu have never seen this magical packing method of bringing 12 bottles of Coke with them when they go out. Xing Luo said with a smile: "Senior, you don't know, his big box is full of treasures, and there are several light energy bars. big bag."
Yang Xiaobai has a good reason. A geological project like this must be very tiring. I also prepared a lot of chocolates. Everyone will bring some when they leave tomorrow.
After a meal, everyone's relationship has improved. Although Huang Xu is still not very talkative, you Xingge didn't come here for the purpose of making friends. In the evening, I called Teacher Xiaolin and reported that my popularity was OK, and emphasized that I just boiled water for a bath, and it was very fragrant and clean.
Lin Jing was lying on the table doing homework: "It's been a long day in the car, go to sleep."
"I plan to read for a while." Ji Xingling continued with his toothbrush in his mouth, "Next time I can bring you here to see the stars."
"Well, don't be so romantic all of a sudden."
"I'm not suddenly romantic, I've always been super romantic."
The boyfriend is super handsome and romantic, Lin Jing turned the pen around without saying a word.
Ji Xingling understands the market very well: "Are you thinking about me like crazy again?"
Lin Jing almost blurted out, I am not missing you crazily, I am crazily envious of Li Moyuan.
Because although the dragon's blood tree is also very fierce, it cannot be transferred from Jincheng to Quanshui Village in a second, and then press the boyfriend against the wall to kiss.
The first experience of a long-distance relationship was not good, Mr. Kobayashi thought it was not possible, not possible, not OK.
So he ordered ruthlessly: "Ji Xingling, don't sleep, you'd better get up and read a book."
Brother Xing: "..."
The spring in the mountains is very cold. This night, the cool school bully covered himself with a not-so-cool country big-flowered quilt, and fell asleep together with the English listening in the earphones.
In the early morning of the next day, all four of them got up on time, ready to go into the mountains with the members of the scientific research team. The yard was quiet, Yang Xiaobai asked: "Is everyone still awake?"
"It's not that we agreed to meet at eight o'clock." Huang Xu glanced at the time on his phone, "It's already eight fifteen."
Xing Luo stood at the door of the dormitory and listened for a while, but there was no sound in the room, and no one answered the knock.
Huang Xu said, "Isn't it already gone?"
Ji Xingling called Xiao Song and asked him about today's arrangements.
"Arrangements? Didn't I give you all yesterday?" Xiao Song held two live chickens he just bought from a fellow villager in his hand. "Breakfast is in the kitchen. There is a new microwave over there. Do you know how to use it? I'll get it right away." return."
Ji Xingling took the plan form from Huang Xu: "It says to gather at eight o'clock, and the system understands landslide disasters."
"Yes, the information seems to be in the conference room. If there is anything you don't understand, circle it, and ask Lao Zheng and the others when they come back at night."
Others in the yard could hear Ji Xingling's hands-free, Yang Xiaobai pushed Xing Luo with his elbow: "After a long time, it turns out that we don't need to go out today, the hiking shoes are changed for nothing, and the energy bars are not needed. "
There are several stacks of printed paper in the conference room, all of which are papers related to landslide disasters. The four of them took out a few pages each, and started to "understand the system" consciously. Ji Xingling was leaning against the window, and the more he looked at it, the more confused he became. What the hell kind of book is this? I think my geography is okay, why can't I understand a single word. And what's the matter with the others, they all look at it seriously, let alone Huang Xu, is it possible that even the freshmen in high school are more stable than me? No, I can't stand up and exchange information, you Xingge can't afford to lose this person!
At the same time, Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai were also frantically complaining in their hearts, what is this, what is this, why are the two seniors not talking, is it true that the gap between senior one and senior two is really so huge
In the end, Yang Xiaobai couldn't help but speak first: "Senior, what are GEO5 software and Bishop's method?"
Huang Xu raised his head calmly: "I don't know."
Yang Xiaobai turned his attention to another senior.
Ji Xingling looked at him silently.
The scene is more embarrassing.
The knowledge involved in the material is far beyond the comprehension ability of high school students, and they can't understand it even by searching the Internet. The four of them spent a whole day and only finished reading less than two books. Each of them sorted out a thick stack of notes. Waiting for the members of the research team to come back at night to ask questions, it turned out that it was almost morning after waiting.
Professor Zhang still didn't show up, only the captain, Lao Zheng, led a dozen team members, clamoring for food, all of them looked tired and hungry, and it was really not suitable for answering high school students' questions.
Lin Jing said on the phone: "Otherwise, you should go to bed first and talk about it tomorrow. What about the other three?"
"I didn't leave the dormitory either." Ji Xingling closed the window, "I regretted coming to this project a little bit, no one paid any attention to us at all, Xiao Song doesn't count, he is a hard match, and it's not a good place to match."
Listening to what he said, Lin Jing also felt that this was some kind of broken project, and why it sounded so watery. But verbally, I still comfort and encourage my boyfriend. As the saying goes, go all the way, ten days is very short, and it will pass quickly if you persist.
It was the same the next day. Ji Xingling asked Xiao Song, but Xiao Song couldn't answer why. He just came here to take care of people and knew nothing about scientific research projects.
On the third day, the four of them gained experience, got up before six o'clock, and offered to help before the big troops set off. This time Lao Zheng finally didn't leave them in the conference room to read the papers, and took them into the mountain together, but during the whole process, except for carrying bags and doing chores, he just stood by and watched. The students are also embarrassed to put forward such a chaotic request as "we don't understand, I hope someone can explain it".
Huang Xu is thin, with a large bundle of equipment on his shoulders, standing there precariously. Ji Xingling couldn't see it, so he took the initiative to reach out and said, "Give me half."
"No need." The other party refused coldly, and he gritted his teeth and chased after the large army.
Ji Xingling was at a loss, what's wrong with this person, he was fine two days ago, what the hell is he looking at now.
After one day, Xing Luo and Yang Xiaobai also noticed Huang Xu's indifference towards Ji Xingling, and it was hard to ask, they just thought to themselves, what's the matter, they ran around with the scientific research team, their backs hurt, I can't learn much knowledge, and the atmosphere is still so weird and awkward, it's hard to suffer. Both of them didn't want to cause trouble, so they had to be more and more peaceful.
The landform of Quanshui Village is complex and located in an earthquake zone, so it is not as easy to climb as the mountains in the scenic spot. The members of the scientific research team are used to it, but the high school students are not used to it. In order to take care of their physical strength, Lao Zheng had to arrange a few more rests, and the progress was slowed down a lot instead.
Huang Xu's complexion was visibly more gloomy, especially when facing Ji Xingling, he seemed to have taken the wrong medicine. The young master was targeted inexplicably. He recalled Mr. Xiao Lin in his second year of high school. He was so cute.
Back in the dormitory in the early morning, Ji Xingling lay on the bed and weakly made a midnight phone call: "I haven't showered yet."
Lin Jing put down the toothbrush: "So you just carried a big bag for a day?"
"Yeah, the rest of the people are talking about Quaternary residual slope silty clay, which is the Quaternary. We don't understand it at all and can't join in. We can only do physical work." Ji Xingling stretched his muscles and bones, "That's fine. Well, it's mainly Huang Xu, he really seems to be out of his mind."
Lin Jing leaned on the sofa: "I ate dinner at your house today."
"Well, my mother said."
"I heard my uncle and aunt chatting at the dinner table. It seems that Bihai Science and Technology is working on a project recently. I hope Uncle Ji can help."
Ji Xingling sat up: "What kind of project? Is it because of my father's face that the interview team let me in?"
Lin Jing really didn't want to talk about it at first, but even more didn't want to hide it: "Didn't you say that there is nothing to do after that?"
Ji Xingling reacted: "So what you mean is that the professors of Chenda University don't need to recruit student volunteers at all. It is Bihai Kechuang who forcibly created this internship program in order to please my dad? No wonder, the rest of the team members treat us as if we don't exist at all. , Huang Xu suddenly looked like Lu Xun today, wouldn't he think that I was the one who started it, wasting the time of the three of them with great fanfare, just to gild himself?"
"Don't be angry."
"I'm not angry, forget it, I'll be back tomorrow."
"People will say that you can't bear the hardship."
"..."
A ten-day small internship, with so many calculations and ideas, made Ji Xingling even more irritable: "Then I'll finish this project, and I don't want their results to be signed, and I won't participate in the March self-enrollment of Morning University."
Lin Jing probed: "Why don't I come to accompany you?"
"Don't." Ji Xingling slowed down his tone, "I'm just a little annoyed, you stay in Jincheng well, and I'll be back as soon as I'm done."
"Then you can call me any time you need something." Lin Jing said, "Also, uncles and aunts are also worried, afraid that you will be angry if you find out."
Hu Meimei, in particular, regretted that at the reception last time, she casually mentioned that her son wanted to be admitted to a university in Beijing, allowing Bihai Kechuang to take advantage of the loophole. I even complained about the other party's self-assertion in my heart. Isn't this sick? If we want to go this way, wouldn't we donate the building ourselves, and we still need your little intern
"I'm not angry." Ji Xingling reminded again, "Don't come to Quanshui Village either."
This trip was bad enough, and now he only wanted to make a quick decision and get out of here as soon as possible.
In the dormitory next door, Huang Xu was not asleep and was reading at the desk.
He regretted participating in this internship even more than Ji Xingling. If he was not sure about the past two days, then today's itinerary of pure hard work is enough to prove that the scientific research team does not lack such a few high school students. Attitude, as well as Bihai Kechuang's position as the gold master in the entire project, it is obvious that it can be concluded that this is not a serious internship at all, but a special project purely for the purpose of gilding the young master.
Although logically speaking, the other three interns can be counted as beneficiaries. If they follow along, they can write a dissertation without losing money. But Xueba is always arrogant and arrogant, and has a little contempt for rich people who are ignorant and incompetent. Of course, his mood can't get better, and it is directly reflected in his face.
On the early morning of the fourth day, Ji Xingling got up early to read English, and heard noises in the yard. He glanced through the window, and it seemed that Professor Zhang and his assistant had returned. Both of them were busy in the kitchen, whispering What are you talking about.
The eldest young master originally wanted to go out and help boil water, but then he thought that his status as a rich second-generation relative, even Huang Xu didn't like him, let alone a high-ranking and indifferent university professor, so forget it, so don't make fun of yourself .
Professor Zhang's name is Zhang Xiao, and he is a teacher at the School of Environment of Chenda University. Because of being in the wild all year round, he dresses in a rough way. If I use Mr. Kobayashi's words to describe it, I can directly guest star in the ancient costume movie Orion in another film studio, without using a stylist.
Zhang Xiao wore thick-soled hiking shoes, and carried a teapot of hot water to the corner to wash his face.
In the twilight of the morning, the concrete floor outside the kitchen reflects polarized light, which is so light that it is almost invisible to the naked eye, like the blue-purple scales on the wings of a butterfly.
But there are no butterflies in this season. Even if there are, unless hundreds or thousands of them are stepped on in a row, it is impossible to leave such a large number of tiny scales on the hiking boots and trouser legs.
That's why most of them are monsters, monsters with scales, those who can't fly, those who are very old, or those who are about to die, so they shed so many scales.
Ji Xingling frowned, dropped the pen in his hand, if you dislike the relationship, just dislike it, I have to go and see.
But before he could go out, the door of the dormitory next door opened first. Huang Xu ran all the way to the kitchen and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm a high school student who came here for an internship. Can I help?"
Zhang Xiao's assistant glanced at him: "No, it's quite cold here, go back to your room and continue sleeping."
"It's okay." Huang Xu took the tongs in his hand, "I'll boil the water."
Ji Xingling: "..."
You are a good and proactive student, can you not delay my business.
