Manor Romance

Chapter 28
Sometimes, Lu Ci is really envious of Yunli. Faced with the same situation, this person can always solve the problem with ease, knowledgeable and capable, but not self-confident, independent in thinking, not following the trend, innovative in thinking, good at Explore, and work on it.

If there are any shortcomings in him, all Lu Ci can think of is that he is too mysterious. This is not the mystery of his identity or background, but because he has been in contact with Yunli for so long, she still feels that Yunli is too far away for her. It's time.I can't figure out his mind, can't keep up with his pace, even if I work hard, sometimes I can't even help him share the chores at work.But he always smiled and told himself that it’s okay, don’t mind, don’t worry, there is always a back in his mind reminding himself that you are people in two worlds, and you cannot touch the other’s world.

"What about you? When you were young, were you as cold and cool as you are now? Standing in the crowd, you became a human-shaped cooling machine." Seeing that Lu Ci was not listening to his narration, I wondered Thinking about something, Yun Li said jokingly.

"Huh? Me, I am a one-stop person. What happened when I was a child is what I am now, and I will be like this in the future. Unfortunately, it is not summer. Teacher Yun, please pay attention to keeping warm and be careful not to catch a cold." Seeing that Yunli was making fun of him, Lu Ci did his part, and responded wittily.

Yunli pulled the zipper on his clothes as if he was about to sneeze. At the end of the movement, he switched to the chopsticks, picked up a shrimp and put it in the bowl, and changed the subject: "Your way of cooking seafood Where did I learn it, it’s no worse than the one in the restaurant, and it’s not quite like what we did there.”

"I told you before that in the early years, the Lu family has been doing business in those small countries around them. The aquatic products there are very rich, and the family members like to eat it very much. Even after returning to China, the family still often cooks and eats. I also learned something. This is the taste of Southeast Asia. The authentic method also adds a lot of chili and spices. I don’t have all the ingredients today, so I’ll make it for you when I have a chance.” Lu Ci took a crab on the table Shell, while playing with it in his hand, he explained to Yunli.

"That's it. It's settled. I'll write down the materials later. I'll go buy them tomorrow. If I can't buy them, there are no rivers nearby. The ones I catch myself should be no worse than the ones I sell." Yun Li raised his wine glass and said to Lu Ci. said with a smile.

Lu Ci also picked up the wine glass and touched it, raised his head and took a sip, blushing on both sides of his cheeks, and said with a smile: "You, why don't you just dig a pond in Xiaolu Mountain and raise some Shrimp, fish, crab, when you want to eat, just fish it, see how good you are at growing melons and vegetables, it shouldn’t be a problem to raise some small shrimps and fishes.”

"It's not a big problem, but you also know that I have to observe and record the growth of the crops I plant every day. The same is true for raising shrimp and fish. So before that, I have to buy a diving set. equipment, such as swimsuits, swimming trunks, goggles, and so on, if you spread some sand next to it and set up a parasol, oh my god, wouldn’t this be the Maldives?”

The more Yun Li said, the more exaggerated it was, it made Lu Ci so happy that he lay on the table laughing, the more he thought about it, the more he felt it was funny, maybe Yun Li would really do this, the picture was so beautiful that he couldn't look directly at it.

Next, the two continued to chat about many topics, from pastoral customs to exotic customs, from childhood fun to college life, from Shakespeare to daily necessities.Although the dishes on the table were completely cold and there was not a drop of wine left in the glass, it did not prevent the two of them from chatting and sharing joys and sorrows.

What Yunli didn't expect was that Lu Ci was also very interested in antiques, and he also had a lot of knowledge, with a wide range of knowledge.Out of curiosity, Yun Li showed Lu Ci his collections. Although she could not tell the age and origin of each item, Lu Ci could tell the same about their characteristics and historical meaning. Ten, there are some aspects that even Yunli can't match.

Take the two moth jade pendants bought in the antique market with Aunt Fang as an example. Yun Li could only see their approximate origin and purpose, but Lu Ci could tell that the engraved moth pendants on the two wings of the jade pendants The pattern is the unique totem of a certain family that occupied the southwest region thousands of years ago.Although there are no detailed records in historical materials, the same mark as this pattern can still be found in some temples or family ancestral halls.

After buying the jade pendant last time, Yun Li searched the Internet, but couldn't find much information related to it, so he didn't go into it further, but now Lu Ci solved the mystery.

After careful questioning, I found out that the Lu family also had an antique business, and not all of them were legal. There were many related books in their family collection. Lu Ci had no playmates when he was a child. Except for going to school, he spent most of his time alone. Take these books and pass the time.The more books he read, the stronger Lu Ci's interest in these things became. In addition, many of the furnishings in Lu's house are antiques, so Lu Ci can use real objects to compare and learn. This is how he slowly accumulated knowledge.

In fact, Lu Ci studied in the university, which was majored in the Department of History, and the field of archives management. The university she attended before was considered one of the best in the country in this area. Lu Ci originally planned to apply for foreign countries after completing her university degree. For the scientific research project of the museum, I continued to study while working, but I was forced to drop out of school before I finished my sophomore year.

Speaking of this matter now, Lu Ci has relieved a lot, knowing that Yunli also has the same interest, and her major is not as good as her own, which makes her somewhat happy and even proud.

If it wasn't for the crackling sound of firecrackers in the distance, Yunli and Lu Ci would not have known that it was already early in the morning, and every household was lighting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve, using this lively way to welcome the arrival of the new year.

It was getting late, and Lu Ci had to say goodbye and go back. Since she drank some alcohol and was not able to drink, Yun Li personally sent her back home just to be on the safe side.

I don't know if it was the continuous sound of firecrackers, or some other reason, but Yun Li didn't feel sleepy at all, so he took the phone and looked through the information inside.

The signal here in Xiaolu Mountain is not good. Sometimes you can’t even make phone calls, and there are often delays in sending and receiving text messages. As for surfing the Internet, it can only be described as "turtle speed", so Yunli sometimes wants to surf the Internet. Finding something is very difficult.He once went to the telecommunication office in the town to ask, if he wanted to pull a network cable to Xiaolushan, he estimated that he would have to pay three to four thousand for materials, and it was an ordinary dial-up, not an optical fiber.

The funds in hand are quite sufficient now, but this is the capital for the early stage construction of the manor. Yunli wants to use them in the most reasonable place. Besides, Xiaolu Mountain will undergo large-scale expansion of cultivation in the next year, and some will need to be spent Where the money is, the idea of ​​pulling the network cable is temporarily thrown away.Moreover, there is a computer connected to the Internet in Luzhen Middle School, if you need it urgently, Yunli can borrow it, it's just a little more effort.

There are a lot of messages accumulated in the text box, phone and chat software, Yunli checked them one by one, most of them are holiday greetings from classmates, and some people I know here also have letters.For example, Lao Luo and Qiang Zi from the buying station, and the director of the agricultural station that Yun Li often visited, not only Feng Yisong, but also Feng Jiaqi also sent a greeting text message. Although it was a mass message, it somewhat surprised Yun Li.

In the chat group in the class, a lot of chat messages have accumulated, and Yunli can't find where it started, so he can only skip around to see, except for the blessings, what everyone talks about the most is graduation and job hunting.They are already seniors this year, and going back for the winter vacation is the last semester of their four-year college career.

In fact, all professional courses have been completed in the first three years, and the fourth year is to give students a buffer period from campus to society.In addition to completing the graduation thesis, everyone has to work hard for the upcoming society, listening to lectures, looking for internships, postgraduate entrance examinations for civil servants, and participating in various job fairs. Taking a swim can be regarded as an end to one's student career.

One of Yunli's roommates planned to start a ride after the Spring Festival, circling the entire southern border of the motherland, and maybe passing through Luzhen.He had talked about this plan with Yunli before, and this time he also sent a few photos ready to be posted, saying that he wanted to come and see Xiaolu Mountain anyway, Yunli was naturally very welcoming, and replied with the words "looking forward to it" .

In the chat group, many people mentioned themselves, asked about the current situation, and jokingly asked if they really became a mountain farmer and went to immortality.In fact, with the current communication conditions, even if you are in a remote corner, it is not difficult to know a person's recent situation. Yunli also often contacts everyone, but due to the limited environment, he seldom shows up to speak.

When Pan Qing and Jiang Wenfeng knew that it took only two years for Yunli to complete the professional courses, they were very surprised and envious. They always regarded Yunli as a genius, and Jiang Wenfeng regarded him as his biggest opponent. , the target to exceed.What they didn't know was that in the first two years of university, in addition to completing courses in education, Yunli also completed a degree in journalism and communication.

It took only two years to complete the entire course of two undergraduate degrees. Such a person, no matter what school they are in, is a genius among geniuses, and a focus among focuses.

After completing the two degrees, Yunli originally wanted to study another science and engineering major, but at that time the college was communicating and cooperating with a world-renowned university in the UK to provide the opportunity to study abroad with a full scholarship, but Yunli did not. Continue to study for the third degree, but went to apply for this opportunity to study abroad.

Due to some reasons, he did not go in the end. The school offered other opportunities to go abroad, as well as the option of insurance research, but he did not accept it. Instead, he came to Luzhen alone and became a supporting teacher.Afterwards, I even gave up my major and changed to farming, which left everyone speechless.
