The system is very abstract, fortunately I am also

In the morning.

There were only two spirit stones left in the warehouse. In order to prepare for emergencies, Lin Li came to the community park to practice for the first time in a long time today, practicing the odd-numbered physical chapters.

"Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, Grandpa Zhou." Before practicing, Lin Li greeted Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei looked at Lin Li for three seconds and sighed: "You are back after all. I thought you had given up."

Lin Li keenly read the little thoughts of the arrogant old Deng.

"There is no word "give up" in my dictionary, Grandpa. I am not one of those young people who will give up halfway." Lin Li said proudly.

Of course, the dictionary Lin Li was talking about was his family's Oxford dictionary, which was full of foreign words. Oxford was full of ditties. There was really no word "give up".

Just like Edison never said the word "give up", after all, this kid couldn't speak Chinese at all.

As for Lin Li's Chinese dictionary, it was full of things that were not approved.

"Are you stressing that you are young? Things are getting interesting. An old horse is still ambitious. I will keep watching you and I will not give up." Zhou Youwei stared at Lin Li and issued a battle declaration.

"No problem, I won't let you down." Lin Li will prove his perseverance.

Then he started practicing.

Halfway through the practice, Zhang Fang was walking on the road outside the bushes. After seeing Lin Li and Zhou Youwei, she suddenly remembered something and shouted to the two of them: "Old Zhou, Xiao Lin."

"What's wrong, Grandma Zhang." Lin Li put away his fists and asked.

"Xiao Lin, I see that you haven't replied to the message in the community group. Now I ask, will you two go to the community activity room to make moon cakes later?" Zhang Fang asked, and then showed the bag in her hand, which seemed to be raw materials such as flour.

Generally, good property management will organize some activities on holidays, but it is definitely not the treatment that Lin Li's community will have. This activity should be organized by their unofficial neighborhood committee, which pays for itself and does not collect rewards.

In old communities, most residents are older and prefer to hold some activities. Whether they are participants or organizers, they can kill some time.

In fact, it is just to find a reason for everyone to get together to work and chat.

"No, I have no interest in making mooncakes or anything like that." Zhou Youwei waved his hand first.

Lin Li wanted to refuse, after all, it would be better to sleep and study with this time, but after thinking about it, he nodded and said, "Okay, Grandma Zhang, the activity room, right? I will go there after I finish my exercise and take a shower."

Lin Li also has a "body-building and disease-removing pill" in his [warehouse], which he plans to give to Wu Min, but the problem is that this thing is like a Chinese medicine pill, it is particularly large, and Lin Li has not found a reason and opportunity to let Wu Min eat it these days.

Making mooncakes by yourself may be a good opportunity.

"I will go too." Zhou Youwei immediately changed his words.

Lin Li and Zhang Fang suddenly turned their heads to look at Zhou Youwei.

Zhou Youwei's old face remained calm: "I'm worried about Lin Li going, I must keep an eye on him."

Lin Li and Zhang Fang were relieved.

The two looked at each other, and everything was self-evident:

Xiao Lin, you have a really good relationship with Lao Zhou.

Yes, I have a really good relationship with Xiao Zhou.

[Get up before the Mao hour for a month to seriously practice the Eight-stage Body Building Exercise, and before the Chen hour, for at least half an hour in total (11/30)]

After the exercise, he went back to take a shower and change clothes, and materialized the "Body Building and Disease Relief Pill" in advance, wrapped it in a tissue in his pocket, and Lin Li came to the community's activity room.

The "Body Building and Disease Relief Pill" now has a small gap missing - Lin Li took a little and took it himself, and the taste was the same as Chinese medicine, a little astringent, and slightly bitter, not delicious.

But there were no magical phenomena, such as feeling the energy flowing in the body.

This way, I can be more assured that my mother will not change after taking it.

There weren't many people in the activity room, and as Lin Li expected, they were mostly the older generation or the older generation, mostly grandmothers and aunts. Men were extremely rare here. No one used Mandarin when chatting, and they all spoke the Xiling dialect.

Zhou Youwei hadn't come yet.

Zhang Fang saw Lin Li, walked over and wiped her hands and asked: "Xiao Lin, do you know how to make mooncakes?"

"I just watched the tutorial, I should know." Lin Li said honestly.

Learning on the spot, not cold, before getting the system, Lin Li's life was learning on the spot.

"Okay, let me tell you, here are the materials, here is the flour that has been prepared, the mold is here, the microwave is over there, mooncakes are simple, and you young people are smart, if you don't understand anything, just ask me or everyone else."

"Okay, thank you grandma."

Zhang Fang smiled and nodded, then went back to continue making mooncakes while chatting with a few friends.

As soon as Zhang Fang left, the only young man present came over and patted Lin Li on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's make mooncakes, I'll take you."

Lin Li: "?"

Who are you sending to, bro?

Seemingly seeing Lin Li's confusion, the young man hurriedly whispered: "You don't want to become the topic of grandparents later, saving me is also saving yourself!"

Lin Li:

"......

Young people in a group of elderly people are indeed easy to become the focus.

Now many eyes are looking at Lin Li with curiosity.

"Okay." It is indeed better to communicate with young people. Lin Li nodded and followed the other party to the material area.

The fillings provided are few and classic, such as date paste, lotus paste, egg yolk, and five kernels. As for the new mooncake ingredients, you can’t see them here at all.

These three kinds of mooncakes have their own merits. The jujube paste tastes better than the other two, the lotus paste and egg yolk tastes more fragrant than the other two, and the number of five kernels is more than the other two.

Who invented the green and red thread in the five-nut mooncake? Lin Li felt uncomfortable when he saw this thing. Just looking at it, he felt a sweet sugary smell.

So I didn’t hesitate to choose only the other two kinds of fillings.

"What's your name? My name is Zeng Ziang." The young man introduced himself.

"My name is Lin Li."

Lin Li began to take flour and use a rolling pin to make the crust.

I took another look at the size of the mold, and it should be no problem to put the "Body-Building and Disease-Removing Pill" into it.

"Lin Li, are you here alone?" Zeng Ziang asked with some confusion during the process of spreading the pie crust.

"Um."

"Why can't you think about it? It's just seven o'clock in the morning, and you come here alone to make mooncakes?" Zeng Ziang was even more shocked, "I thought you were brought here by family members like me."

Then Zeng Ziang sighed again, "When I came home from school during the Mid-Autumn Festival holiday, they looked at me like a baby.

As a result, it has only been a few days, but I have already started to dislike me. "

Lin Li didn't quite understand Zeng Ziang's situation.

Wu Min has been home for so long, and Lin Li has never looked down upon her.

As for how our sister Min views herself, she should always be dissatisfied.

"But brother, are you still in school? A graduate student?" Zeng Ziang was young but relatively young. His appearance had nothing to do with a child. Even Lin Li believed him when he said he had been working for several years.

"Now that I am a senior, I also want to be a graduate student, but after showing the first draft of my graduation thesis to my teacher, I gave up." Zeng Ziang shook his head.

"Why?" Lin Li asked curiously.

"Because my advisor said my thesis was too strategically important."

"Then shouldn't it be more appropriate to take the postgraduate entrance examination?"

"But he said that the strategic significance is that as long as he finds a way to let other countries steal my paper, his country's technology can be set back ten years. I suspect he is being shady."

"Brother, you can believe in yourself." Lin Li encouraged after a moment of silence.

"I believe in myself. I actually think my paper is okay, but the decision-making power is in the teacher's hands, and he doesn't listen to me."

"No, brother, what I just meant is that you trust your own judgment. Your mentor is just acting strangely. There is no need to doubt it." Lin Li explained quickly.

Zeng Ziang: ‘

........

"Lin Li, has anyone ever said that your words are hurtful?"

"Everyone says so." Lin Li nodded.

Zeng Ziang:

"...

Turns out he is a habitual offender?

"That's why my undergraduate thesis is so difficult. What else do I want to do about my graduate thesis? I'm waiting for it to be postponed. In addition, my English is not good, so I gave up completely as a graduate student." Zeng Ziang returned to the original topic.

"So, brother, are you ready to find a job? Are you doing an internship? Is there any way to make money?" Lin Li asked curiously.

"No, it's hard to find a job now. I'm taking the public examination." Zeng Zi'ang shook his head, but then he complained helplessly: "But the current environment is really difficult. I took a look at the positions in our Xiling, and applied for it. The ratio is even hundreds to one. I don’t know what to say. It’s crazy to only recruit one person out of hundreds.

Alas, the environment in the past was still good, but now there is really no way to survive. "

"Indeed." Lin Li nodded, acknowledging this. "In the past, there was no plan or argument. As long as you were castrated, you could go ashore."

Zeng Ziang: "?"

"That——"-Lin Li, your past is a bit too old. If it were your past, I might not take the public examination. "Feeling the cold, Zeng Ziang started to sweat a little.

The past he mentioned was a few years ago, and the past Lin Li mentioned was hundreds of years ago.

"Lin Li, what are you studying now, high school?" Feeling a little behind Lin Li, and talking about himself again, Zeng Ziang suspected that it would be better to be surrounded by the older generation, so he changed the subject.

"Yes, first year of high school." Lin Li nodded.

"What high school?"

"Nan Sang."

"So awesome. I was six points behind Nansang in the high school entrance examination, so I could only go to Xiling No. 1 Middle School." After Zeng Ziang praised him, he booed:

'It's great. High school is a magical time. I wouldn't want to go back and work hard for another three years, but I will always miss those three years. As the saying goes, what is worth remembering is not the battlefield. But comrades. "

"Is college life not good?" Lin Li asked after hearing this.

"There must be someone alive." Zeng Ziang retorted immediately.

Lin Li: "?

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry you thought I didn't say this." Zeng Ziang immediately closed his mouth.

I really deserve to die, why did I pollute an innocent freshman in high school.

"Ahem, life must be a hundred times better than high school. Let me describe it to you this way. The first seventeen weeks of each semester in college are equivalent to going to a top massage parlor to soak your feet every moment - Si , Can you understand this description? You probably have never soaked your feet. Anyway, you just need to know that it is very, very comfortable and enjoyable. "

Lin Li laughed in his heart.

Old guy, who are you looking down on?

Who hasn’t had their feet soaked yet?

I don’t know how many times I’ve been beaten, and Pao is so easy to catch.

But Lin Li then asked: "What about seventeen weeks later?"

"Haha." Zeng Ziang suddenly smiled with relief, "College life after the start of finals week is equivalent to drinking all the foot soaking water you used for the previous seventeen weeks."

Lin Li:

...

"If you work hard and don't soak your feet for the past seventeen weeks, then the water will have no smell at all and you can drink it all in one go."

"But if you soak your feet every day for seventeen weeks, this water will be extremely difficult and painful to swallow, and it will scratch your throat."

The first half of Zeng Ziang's sentence was very perfunctory, but the second half was sincere and there was no doubt which part he belonged to.

Lin Li nodded in approval.

Such an apt description, it immediately made sense.
