Ling Zhi sat next to Yao Jun. Although the sun was shining brightly outside, he couldn't help but shiver.
He knew why he had such a reaction, so he forced himself not to look back or touch the phone that was vibrating crazily in his trouser pocket. He just silently looked at the receding scenery outside the window, still rejoicing in his heart about his decision just now.
Ten minutes ago, Yao Jun suddenly sent him a message, saying that Zhao Shiyan was going to Yuanxi Village with him to conduct a social survey today. If he was interested, he could come and participate together. The address for getting on the bus was also attached at the end of the message.
.
Ling Zhi was immediately shocked!
Although Zhao Shiyan's performance in the past two days was a bit strange, Ling Zhi didn't think much about it. She just thought that she had encountered a bottleneck in training and was trying to find a way to break through.
But he never expected that Shi Yan would go to visit the countryside without telling him?
He wasn't a petty person, and it didn't mean that Shi Yan had to report to him wherever he went, but the information Yao Jun revealed to him still made him couldn't help but think about it.
Why didn't Shi Yan tell him? She went with Yao Jun alone? If that was the case, why did Yao Jun ask him to go with him? What was his purpose?
But now it was too late, Ling Zhi didn't think much, hurried downstairs and got on the shared bicycle and rushed to the place Yao Jun said.
After arriving at the place, he saw many people going to participate in the social survey, and he was secretly relieved. Teacher Lu Ming saw that Ling Zhi had already rushed over, and with Yao Jun fanning the flames on the side, he had no choice but to agree to Ling Zhi's journey.
request.
After all, this young man seems to want to go together. If he doesn't agree, what if he secretly finds a way to go to Yuanxi Village on his own?
Although if something goes wrong, you don't have to be responsible for it, but you will inevitably feel a knot in your heart. So Lexus got on the bus smoothly.
"I'm sorry to have called you here at such a short notice."
Yao Jun's words interrupted Ling Zhi's thoughts. He paused and continued:
"Originally, Teacher Lu didn't want to cause any problems with this trip, but after much thought, I still want to tell you, because if you come with me, the data analysis results of this social survey can be released quickly.
Some will help us formulate the direction of the next social investigation as soon as possible."
"By the way, you should bring the computer I asked you to bring."
"Oh, take it, take it."
"That's good. Are you still nervous about your scientific research life recently?"
"It's okay. I just read papers all day."
"Yes, you are much better at learning computers than we are. If we want to collect data, we can't stay in the house all day, and we have to go out for visits frequently."
"Indeed, but the research you do, senior brother, is also very meaningful and closely related to real life. What we research is difficult to explain in one sentence, and many times we cannot put it into practice."
Ling Zhi mocked himself symbolically, but he also knew that there was no comparison between sociology and computers.
Sociology studies relatively practical topics such as land, rural areas, and policies. However, the latest research results produced by the computer major may be far away from most people. By the time they are actually used in real life, it may have been several years.
Even more than ten years.
However, Yao Jun did not express too many opinions on this topic. He continued to "care" about Ling Zhi and said:
"What do you plan to do after you graduate with your PhD?"
"Well, I haven't thought about it yet."
"Oh, that's not possible. You still have to make career plans as early as possible. Otherwise, if you take one step slowly and one step slowly, it will not be easy to catch up with others."
Ling Zhi thought that career planning must be done. As for chasing others, why should I pursue it? I can just be myself. In this era that advocates involution, Ling Zhi does not want to make himself tired.
Because human life is short, he does not want to live in involution all the time.
He did not plan that he must publish enough papers during his Ph.D., or that he must enter the Double First Class after graduation. He just wanted to work hard at the moment and ensure that he could do something that interested him in his spare time.
.Just like Jian Huan, she can make painting the motivation for her scientific research.
Moreover, Zhao Shiyan is also very supportive of her. She does not demand that Ling Zhi must obtain the same status as a doctor after graduation because he chose to study with a master's degree and a Ph.D., she only wants Ling Zhi to be happy every day.
But on the other hand, Zhao Shiyan actually has a bigger heart than Ling Zhi. Ling Zhi thinks that she prefers to have fun and is less able to calm down. She seems to be not naturally suitable for scientific research.
There were very complicated reasons why she came to Linhai University. First, she wanted to be far away from her undergraduate school, so she came to the distant Flower City; on the other hand, she did not want to inherit her father's mantle and become a university student.
Ice sports athletes.
So she chose to study for graduate school and wanted to try to find a way on her own.
She has never regretted coming to Linhai University. She likes the teachers and classmates here very much, and she also has a positive attitude towards getting exposed to new knowledge. So whether she is suitable for graduate school or not, Ling Zhi always believes that she will not gain nothing here.
So speaking of it, Ling Zhi and Zhao Shiyan are not people with clear life plans. In the eyes of outsiders, they may be a little different. But because of this, the two of them can finally come together, to a certain extent.
, not by chance.
Listening to the "sincere teachings" of Senior Brother Yao Jun on the side, Ling Zhi responded with a faint smile and didn't say much.
After a while, Yao Jun seemed to be tired. Seeing that Ling Zhi had no response, he thought for a while and couldn't help but said:
"I heard that you have been training for billiards recently, right?"
Ling Zhi frowned, did Zhao Shiyan even tell Yao Jun such a thing? He thought about it, didn't hide it, and nodded.
"I advise you to stop immediately. Time is precious during graduate school. If you don't seize the time to conduct scientific research, it may affect your graduation."
"Well, thank you, senior brother, we will consider it."
Yao Jun saw Ling Zhi looking distracted and continued to persuade:
"I can't help you, so I can only tell Teacher Lu Ming about this later, and let Teacher Lu persuade you."
Ling Zhi was a little surprised. I respect you as my senior brother and don't want to contradict you, but do you have to tell your elders about this kind of thing?
Ling Zhi knew very well that if it was Director Wang, he would never agree to him playing billiards, but he didn't know the nature of Teacher Lu Ming.
Based on his past experience, most tutors would not approve of their students spending too much time on things other than scientific research.
Ling Zhi thought about it and said calmly to Yao Jun:
"If senior brother has to say it, I can't stop you. However, I've said in advance that this matter is a private matter between Shi Yan and I. If senior brother talks nonsense about it, then our friendship will end here.
That’s it.”
"What is a private matter? It affects the scientific research time, but for the laboratory..."
Halfway through the words, Yao Jun suddenly paused. He wanted to say that this was not a private matter between the two of you, but a major matter related to his own laboratory.
But looking at Ling Zhi's calm and calm look, he realized that if he kept talking, it would be difficult to find someone to help him solve it if he encountered data processing problems in the future.
"Oh? It's not a private matter, what is it?"
"Ha...haha. It's okay, it's okay."
Ling Zhi chuckled lightly and didn't say much, but he was very confused. This Yao Jun seemed to have a strong sense of responsibility for the laboratory. He seemed to have to take care of everything when it came to the affairs of his junior brothers and sisters.
However, once something involves his own interests, he stops talking. How ironic!
The two of them were tacitly silent all the way. Ling Zhi also took the time to take out his mobile phone and explain it to Zhao Shiyan, but Zhao Shiyan didn't reply.
Ling Zhi turned around and took a look in the air, and found that she was sleeping soundly in her seat, so he stopped sending messages to disturb her.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, the vehicle gradually drove into the countryside. There were a lot fewer small and large vendors along the way, replaced by streams flowing slowly accompanying the vehicle and trees standing beside the road.
Although the country road is not wide, after being renovated in the past few years, it can barely allow two cars to drive opposite each other, making Yuanxi Village less isolated from the world.
After a while, the road ahead narrowed, changing from the previous asphalt road to a dirt road, and row upon row of houses in the distance could be seen in the distance.
According to Yao Jun's previous introduction, Yuanxi Village is not far from the stream. It's just that before the village was expanded in the last century, the villagers had to walk a long way to get water, so it was named Yuanxi Village at that time. There was nothing we could do, after all.
At that time, we need to prevent floods.
In recent years, stone embankments on both sides of the stream have been gradually built, and the village has expanded many houses in the direction of the stream. In addition, water pipes have been built, so people no longer have to brave the sun and walk long distances back and forth.
After a while, even the dirt road gradually narrowed and became unreachable.
The driver looked left and right, backed up the car into a small open space next to it, and barely got out of the way of the main road.
"Okay, everyone pack your things and get ready to get off."
Teacher Lu Ming reminded everyone. Looking at Zhao Shiyan who was rubbing his eyes behind him, Director Lu smiled and said:
"Shi Yan, please take good care of Ling Zhi. He may not adapt to many things when he comes with us temporarily."
"Ah? Oh, okay."
Zhao Shiyan just woke up and felt a little confused. When the teacher ordered him, he subconsciously agreed.
Ling Zhi was sitting in the front row, but he was not in a hurry to get out of the car. When Zhao Shiyan came to his row from the back row, he saw that Zhao Shiyan didn't even look at him, so he got out of the car with his back turned to him, and he felt a pang in his heart.
Lost.
But when Ling Zhi came to the door of the car and was about to get out of the car, he saw a small hand stretched out in front of him. He suddenly felt happy, grabbed Zhao Shiyan's hand and jumped out.
"I'm sorry, Shi Yan, I came here so abruptly and didn't say hello to you, but it was too late at the time."
"Then how are you going to compensate me?"
"Uh... then... let me help you carry your bag."
"Hahahaha... I'm kidding you, nephew. Why are you so serious? If you want to apologize, I'll apologize first. I didn't want you to come over, so I didn't tell you. You won't blame me.
Bar."
"Of course not. I know you don't want to cause me any trouble. But I haven't figured out yet what your senior brother Yao Jun's real intention is in coming to me. Does he really want me to help you with data analysis?
If so, why did you tell me 10 minutes before driving? I don't understand."
"I don't quite understand. Senior brother, he is always weird. I really didn't expect him to contact you alone. Oh, by the way, when did he get your contact information, senior brother? Why didn't I know?
"
Zhao Shiyan asked knowingly, she wanted to hear whether Ling Zhi and Jian Huan's answers were the same.
"Jianhuan told me last night, asking me if I don't mind, he can send my WeChat ID to Yao Jun. I thought he was going to ask some questions about data analysis, so I agreed without thinking much."
