A pleasant life in a courtyard

Chapter 85

The first month passes quickly.

In a blink of an eye, it's time for students to start school.

And Li Xiang also became an 18-year-old college student.

He arrived at school a few days in advance, thinking of showing the completed internship report to the teacher and asking the teacher to help check it.

By the way, he also wanted to clean the dormitory briefly. No one was living in the dormitory throughout the winter vacation, so the room must have been covered with a layer of dust.

Li Xiang sat on the sofa, flipping through an English material in his hand, waiting for the teacher's final conclusion.

He flipped through the pages very quickly and could memorize all the above knowledge points in almost two or three minutes, but memorizing doesn't mean he understands.

Books and materials in foreign languages ​​are very precious, so he usually borrows them from teachers or librarians.

In order not to delay other people's use time, Li Xiang will first read the entire book and memorize it.

He will review these contents in his mind later, and he can figure out most of them by himself. The current mechanical technology is relatively simple compared with later generations.

If he still doesn't understand something, he will ask the teacher for help. With a little guidance, he will learn quickly.

With what he has now, he can't even talk about developing new machines.

But Li Xiangda dared to pat his chest and promised that as long as the machine drawings were given to him, he could fix it and install it.

Even if individual parts were damaged, as long as it didn't involve materials science, he would be able to restore the set.

Professor Hao, who was sitting at his desk and wearing glasses, first roughly read through the contents of the report.

When he saw the summary data at the back, his brows almost knitted together.

The data results inside are too shocking in the eyes of knowledgeable people.

He took the scratch paper aside and began to recalculate each row and column in the report. Every time he calculated one or two data, he would stop and think for a while, going through the logic in his mind over and over again, two, and three times. .

Only when no obvious loopholes are found can the next line be calculated.

The old man and the young man spent the entire afternoon in the study.

The two did not talk much. Only occasionally did Professor Hao have questions about some of the contents in the report, and then he remembered to ask Li about it.

After Li Xiang finished answering, he looked through the book in his hand again. This was already the third book he had taken.

Until there was a knock on the door, the master's wife opened the study door and reminded the master and apprentice that it was time to have dinner.

Only then did the two of them notice that it was already dark outside the window.

Professor Hao looked at the report in his hand with unfinished content. There were still a few pages left to check, and he didn't want to stop here.

But when he saw his wife standing at the door, staring straight at him and refusing to move her eyes away.

He had no choice but to stand up and lead Li Xiu out of the study.

"Son, you did a great job with this report. With just twenty machines, the data can be optimized so much. If it is implemented as predicted in your report across the country, what a huge number it will be. ah."

Professor Hao was holding the rice bowl and did not forget to praise Li Xiang.

Usually, he rarely praises people in front of Li Xiang, because he is afraid that he is still young and cannot hold his temper, and his tail will rise to the sky after a few words of praise.

But today's report made him extremely satisfied, and he couldn't be more satisfied now.

Although Li Xiang is also very happy that his results can be recognized by teachers, he also knows that it is still too early to be implemented nationwide based on these alone.

At most, the teacher can go to the school to get some resources for him, and the rest will be decided after this summer internship report comes out.

Professor Hao understood his thoughts and recognized his beloved disciple's lack of arrogance and impatience.People who do great things need such traits. Although Li Xiang's knowledge still needs to be improved, judging from his learning speed, he will have nothing to teach in another two years.

It was common for the teacher's wife to feel uneasy when she saw the two of them eating.

She poured a bowl of soup for each of them and placed it in front of them, urging them to drink it while it was hot.

This was the chicken soup she had stewed all afternoon, specially for Li Xiang to replenish his body, and it was not allowed to go to waste.

Maybe it's because Li Xiang is still growing, and no matter how much he eats, he still doesn't gain weight.

Even though I have been eating and drinking well for more than half a year, I am still as thin as a bamboo pole.

Except that his face is rosier, there is no difference from when he first came home last year except for his height.

The teacher’s wife often worries about whether the child has suffered too much in the past few years. Whenever Li Xiang comes, she must do something good to feed him.

When leaving, I would also stuff him with some snacks so that he could eat them whenever he remembered so as not to lose his mouth.

After Li Xiang finished eating, he accompanied the teacher to review the last few pages of the report.

The old man carefully put the report into the document bag and carefully wound the string on it, as if he were treating it like a treasure.

He declined the teacher's invitation to stay overnight, and returned to the dormitory with the peach cake given by his master's wife and the luggage he brought from home.

Originally, Li Xiang planned to clean the dormitory today, but he didn't expect it to be delayed until now.

The lights will be turned off at ten o'clock, and it's too late to clean up. It seems that we can only make do tonight and wait until tomorrow.

In the dormitory corridor, subtle voices came from both sides.

Li Xiang looked at the light coming from outside dormitory 402 and felt happy. He didn't know which roommate was like him and came to report in advance.

As soon as the door opened, the person inside who was laying the quilt looked out the door. The two people looked at each other, both of them were a little surprised.

Xu Wei, whose hometown is farthest from here, was the first to arrive at school.

He was also a little surprised that Li Xiang, a local, would come early.

Xu Wei looked at the luggage in Li Xiang's hands and wondered: "Why did you come here so late at night and be kicked out of the house?"

Li Xiang explained: "Hey, I'm here in the afternoon. I was delayed until now by talking about something at the teacher's house."

"I only arrived in the afternoon. I started cleaning as soon as I came. The house was very dirty. The doors and windows were tightly closed. I don't know where the dust came from."

Then Xu Wei raised the pillow towel in his hand and continued: "I just finished this, so I have space to spread the quilt."

"What a coincidence. I came here to clean the dormitory in advance, but I didn't expect you to finish it first. You're tired."

With that said, Li Xiang came to his bed, unloaded his luggage, and made the bed.

Then he remembered something and asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"I forgot because I was busy, so I had time to get two bottles of hot water. I also have some dry food that I brought at home in my bag. I'll just soak it in hot water later. By the way, I also brought you some chili sauce. It's from our house. self-made."

"That's great, let me try the authentic Sichuan chili sauce."

Li Xiang stopped what he was doing, opened the peach cake package just given by his wife, and handed it to Xu Wei.

Xu Wei hesitated, then took a piece and took a bite.

He smiled at Li Xiang and said, "It's delicious."
