Interstellar Gardener Life

Chapter 56 False Selfishness for Public Benefits or False Publicity for Private Benefits?

The sun is shining and the temperature is rising.I don't know where there are only a few other cicadas, and they shouted for a long time, and they agreed with each other.

Zhao Yonggang came out of Yao Yuan's dormitory leisurely, and planned to go back and dismantle the pistol, and wipe it well-he was loyal enough, and ordered the most important one, lest the little brother hit the wall.Just teasing someone by the way is considered a reward, no matter how much it is, right?

……

Yao Yuan put his legs on the table again, and suddenly wanted to smoke, so he opened the drawer and looked through it.The result is not scattered, but there are four Yuxi.

—— Realm Yuxi, hard box!

In his father's cupboard, tobacco, wine and tea were always overflowing, and when he got home, he was asked to bring some for others to drink.He saw the exquisite and elegant box, so he grabbed it casually.As a result, Zhao Yonggang was shocked when he saw it: "Who are you giving the big gift to?"

At that time, Yao Yuan was vague, turned around and checked online by himself, and only then did he know the price of the cigarettes—how dare he let it go?Bad for unity!

To blame can only blame him for always training, missions, training, missions... No, he is five thousand and eight hundred miles behind.

So all four cigarettes were pressed to the bottom of the box.

Yao Yuan stared blankly at the cigarette for a while, took out a pack and lit one, looked at Vasong at his feet, and continued to be in a daze.

*********
Yao Yuan was in a daze and burned half a pack of cigarettes.

Therefore, as soon as Jiang Ling and Yao Yuan joined hands in the afternoon, they could smell a distinct smell of tobacco.

This surprised Jiang Ling, because neither yesterday nor this morning: "Do you smoke?"

Yao Yuan nodded: "Can smoke." The requirements of these few people are to keep improving: they must have a capacity for alcohol, and they must know the pros and cons of cigarettes and cigars, and at the same time, they must not be addicted.

Jiang Ling pulled out a small, flat smile, and didn't mention it again——Jiang Fu'an doesn't smoke. Jiang Ling regarded this as a man's advantage since he was a child, and he didn't like smoking either.So at this moment, being washed away by the smell of tobacco, she forgot all about the shyness of dancing with Yao Yuan.

Teacher Du noticed Jiang Ling's expression, thoughtful.But she didn't say anything, just motioned Jiang Ling to face her, stretch her head and neck upwards, lean back slightly, and open and lower her shoulders. "At the shoulder blades, lean together and sink down."

Teacher Du showed Jiang Ling a demonstration, and while motioning Jiang Ling to take a closer look, he checked his posture from the newly moved mirror by the wall: "Stretched up, half-tightened. Like a bow, half-drawn , can be fully opened at any time, and can be relaxed at any time. The waist should be straight."

Jiang Ling gave Yao Yuan a "later" look, found a seat convenient for looking in the mirror, and imitated Teacher Du.

Teacher Du followed the guidance: "Dancing is for celebration. It is more exciting than resting, and more relaxed than fighting. Find that feeling."

Seeing his posture, Jiang Ling adjusted quickly.After listening to Teacher Du's words, she recalled the nap she had just passed, and recalled the joy of watching Yao Yuan and Su Yu fight yesterday, and quickly found the feeling.

Teacher Du nodded: "Okay, that's it. Resume to stand at attention, and then do it a few more times. You must be able to stretch it all at once." He said and demonstrated a few times.

Jiang Ling sighed slightly: "They must be very tired from dancing." Resume standing and open the posture; resume standing and open the posture... Xingwang's dance game also has a preparatory tutorial. Fortunately, I didn't watch it—otherwise, the subsequent games would not be so interesting!
……

Jiang Ling's rhythm problem became a trivial matter when it came to Mr. Du.

As soon as she talked about it, Mrs. Du played the music, clapped her hands to beat the time, and then stopped to see Jiang Lingtiao: "Did you step on it accurately?"

Then Teacher Du asked Jiang Ling to start by himself. After trying a few times, he couldn't help laughing: "Your rhythm is very stable, but you always catch the wrong accent. But their music, the accent is indeed not obvious, and they slipped away without paying attention at the beginning." It’s over. Then you can just look at other people. I also taught Yao Yuan the same way.”

Jiang Ling thought that he would not lead the dance, so he was relieved.

Qi Ya's traditional social dance is relatively symmetrical.Compared with the waltz and the like, the difference between the male step and the female step is not that great, and the postures of the two are similar.

Teacher Du made it very clear that dance is the epitome of social culture, and Qi Ya's social dance is like this because for thousands of years, the status of the sexes has been equal in her society.For example, in key departments, the proportion of women at the top is equal to that of men.

This is not surprising.First, since the average life expectancy is more than 240 years old, and there are things like housekeeping robots, the burden caused by pregnancy and childbearing two or three children has little impact on work—even if you are a model mother, you will start at the age of three or 40. Health, five or sixty-year-old children are basically self-reliant, you can fight for at least 60 years!

Besides, there is also the technology of in vitro *.Mature and popular technology.

Both are due to physical skills.The simplest explanation is that the ratio of male to female soldiers in the main army of a third-tier country—the most masculine professional soldier on earth—is about six to four.

This is because, with the improvement of physical fitness, the impact of gender on physical fitness will become smaller and smaller.

What's more, mental strength has nothing to do with gender.

Although Qi Ya is still at the second level and has not yet been promoted, military technology is often the fastest-growing technology in a civilization, and secondary civilizations will always purchase equipment from the previous level of civilization as their own deterrent force.Coupled with the extremely vast territory, Qi Ya's overall military strength can already compete with the general third-level civilization.

Of course, in this comparison, Qi Ya's advantage lies in quantity, not quality.

……

Teacher Du finally concluded: "In fact, some countries on the earth have similar situations in this regard. This is also related to their social conditions and cultural traditions. Therefore, they generally adopt the strategy of 'matching men and women, and working without fatigue'. Everyone happy."

Jiang Ling couldn't help laughing.

Teacher Du simply turned off the music and signaled the two to stop: "Take a break, it's been almost an hour."

Jiang Ling ran to drink water at the coffee table, Teacher Du said softly, "Yao Yuan."

"Ok?"

"Relax. Your posture is standard."

Yao Yuan nodded in response.

—Okay, okay, here we go again...I know, the point is "take it easy".

Jiang Ling swallowed slowly, and then took a sip.

——Okay, okay, my ears are too good, not that Teacher Du doesn't give Yao Yuan enough face.

*********
Dancing is exhausting and tiring, especially learning to dance.

During the second break, Teacher Du asked Jiang Ling: "Do you understand tobacco, wine and tea?"

Jiang Ling shook her head: "I don't understand."

Teacher Du nodded slightly, and said again: "The tea foreign guests don't understand; if someone performs the tea ceremony, you can just concentrate on watching it. Then can you drink and smoke?"

Jiang Ling still shook her head: "The alcohol capacity is very light, and I have never touched cigarettes."

Teacher Du nodded slowly: "There's nothing you can do about the amount of alcohol. And girls, if you don't know how to drink, it's good to not drink. But you'd better be able to smoke. I'm not encouraging you to smoke, what I mean is—— You need to know how to smoke a cigarette."

Jiang Ling blinked: "Why... to smoke a cigarette?"

Teacher Du nodded seriously: "How to inhale, how to spit out, how to turn over paper documents and play with small things with a cigarette in between. For non-smokers, second-hand smoke is often very annoying. But in social life, sometimes , you need to be able to relax in that environment, naturally."

Jiang Ling understood a little bit: "I can smoke, but I don't need to be addicted?"

Teacher Du smiled: "Yes. For example, there are six people in the room, one recommends it, and five people including him start to try a cigar. Then, do you accept the invitation and try it, or just watch?"

Jiang Ling understood: "It would be better to accept."

Teacher Du nodded: "For another example, you need to talk about a problem with a smoker. At this time, you are not disgusted with the smell of smoke, which is an advantage - you are not disgusted, so your breathing is natural and your concentration Concentration, your peace of mind, your expression is what it should be, and it is what it is. These are all conducive to conversation."

Jiang Ling nodded seriously.This is indeed possible; and since she has decided to do it, she must do her best to prepare thoroughly.

Teacher Du turned to Yao Yuan, and Yao Yuan stood up and nodded without waiting for her to speak: "There is smoke here."

Jiang Ling secretly marveled - this is really complete!

Teacher Du didn't care - just ask someone for a pack.Besides, you can buy it if you don’t have one!

None of them knew that Yao Yuan neither looked for anyone nor went out to buy...

—He ran back to the dormitory.

Obviously, both the old and the young women don't know how to smoke... So Yao Yuan boldly found a way out for his Yuxi.

——Aren’t you ya ya not willing to take advantage of others?

Yao Yuan grabbed one, slashed at Vasong on the table viciously, turned around and blew out of the room like a gust of wind.

——I watch you smoke, I watch you smoke!
*********
In the afternoon, it is always more comfortable and lazy.The leaves of the camphor tree outside the window are full of sunlight, and jasper flakes are swaying in the wind.

Jiang Ling praised Yan when she saw Yan: "It's very beautiful!"

Teacher Du also nodded in agreement, picked up a pack of cigarettes and looked at it carefully before opening it - the cigarette pack was brown, the same as the paint color of old-fashioned furniture.The embellished fret pattern is rose gold, simple and agile, and hides the five characters of benevolence, kindness, propriety, wisdom and faith. The style is calm and elegant, simple and luxurious.

The smoke is just as beautiful.The pattern on this end of the cigarette holder is consistent with that of the cigarette box. The body of the cigarette is naturally white, but it also has texture.

After all, Teacher Du was old, and she was a little puzzled by the high grade of the cigarette; she glanced at Yao Yuan, suppressed a slight smile, and said nothing.

After Jiang Ling praised it, she picked up the ZIPPO lighter that Yao Yuan lent out in friendship, and started to play with "click, click". By the way, she also praised: "The lighter is also good."

Yao Yuan touched his nose and didn't say a word. He didn't believe that Jiang Ling recognized this model!
1941BC re-engraved black cracked lacquer, commemorative edition for the [-]th anniversary of the victory of World War II.American product, Japanese version.But the same thing, in the hands of different people, has different meanings.So Yao Yuan is not shy about the production and sales of this lighter.

At the time of World War II, brass, as the main raw material for making shells, was naturally in short supply.Therefore, ZIPPO used steel instead of copper to produce lighters during this period.Moreover, the lighters supplied to the U.S. and Allied forces are required for military concealment and must prevent reflections, so the whole body is black and cracked.

Jiang Ling really didn't know - she was earnestly and attentively familiarizing herself with the force of opening and closing the lid.Jiang Ling's physical coordination is very good now. From running, jumping, to manipulating a small object between his fingers, he is much more flexible than before, so he can do it very quickly.

So Jiang Lingping held the fuselage, threw it upwards and opened the lid, and wiped it while catching it...

——The flame suddenly jumped up!

Teacher Du watched the whole process, and handed over a cigarette upon seeing it.

Jiang Ling held the cigarette and put it on the fire, took a puff, and lit it up without hesitation.Because she didn't know at all that this was ten yuan.

Then Jiang Ling was a little dazed with the cigarette in his hand—how should he spit it out?

From the nose, or from the mouth?

So she quickly ordered one for Teacher Du.

Watching Jiang Ling holding his breath, Yao Yuan was instantly amused.

……

Over there, Jiang Ling followed Mr. Du, holding the cigarette, squeezing the cigarette, flicking the ash, and blowing the smoke ring, learning to be familiar with the taste of nicotine, learning to use various proper postures, and getting along well with the light green gas.

Here Yao Yuan nestled on the sofa, watching quietly, with the pleasure of mischief bubbling in his heart.He didn't realize that the corners of his lips curled up—it had nothing to do with etiquette, nothing to do with work, but just sincerity.
