The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 148: Exchange the fruit back, it can locate and eavesdrop, it is safe
"You've studied so much that you ended up in the hospital. If no one takes care of you in the future, I'll be really worried!"

At the end of his words, his eyes were full of worry for Li Mu.

"Don't worry, I won't do it again in the future!" Li Mu lowered his head slightly. He didn't want to consider personal issues for the time being.

Hearing this, Qian Shuyan shook his head and said, "Promises alone are useless. Let me be frank. Do you have any feelings towards Wang Ya..."

……

After parting with Qian Shuyan, Li Mu thought about it and decided not to continue going to the library.

For such a big thing as graduating early, I must tell my family first.

On the way, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative first. Two kilograms of pork, beef and mutton would be enough. They would go bad easily in hot weather, so it was not advisable to buy too much.

He then grabbed some fruit biscuits, Cuban candies and other snacks, and headed for the compound with a car full of stuff.

……

At the gate, Grandpa Zhong was happily watching a group of children in the yard playing with a Rubik's Cube. When he saw Li Mu riding back on his bike, he smiled and greeted him, saying:
"Xiao Li is back? Wow, what good news made you buy so many delicious foods?"

Several children looked at the candies in the back of Li Mu's car and drooled with greed.

Li Mu took out a few pieces of candy from his pocket and placed them in the children's hands, successfully receiving a few sweet thanks.

While giving the candy, he said:
"School has just started, and I'm getting busier and busier with schoolwork. I won't be able to come back often in the future, so I'll take advantage of the opportunity to improve the food at home."

"Uncle Zhong, why don't you come and eat something later? I'm usually not at home, and grandma and the others need you to take care of them."

"That's ridiculous." Uncle Zhong glared and said, "You only take care of me after I've eaten?"

"We are all neighbors, we should take care of each other!"

"Xiao Li, you are really insulting me by saying that."

Not to mention that Li Mu usually gets along well with his neighbors, but just based on his identity as a college student, he has to take care of them.

"That's not what I meant." Li Mu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

After chatting with Uncle Zhong for a few more words, he returned home.

……

Seeing Li Mu coming back early, Grandma Li, who was teaching her two granddaughters to practice calligraphy, was very surprised and asked hurriedly, "Xiao Mu, why did you come back so early today?"

"I have something to say. I'll tell you when my uncle and aunt come back." Li Mu thought for a while and said.

He must tell his family about graduating early, and since he works six jobs, he can also have a legitimate reason to bring the money back home.

The amount of the special allowance was too large and too coveted, so even if he donated most of it, it would be best if only he knew about it.

"Okay, then let's wait for your uncle and aunt to come back and tell you." Grandma Li nodded and looked at Li Mu worriedly.

……

It was not until Li Jun and Wang Juanhong came back that Li Mu told them that he was going to graduate early and would have 6 jobs.

"Xiao Mu, can your body withstand so much work?" Grandma Li didn't care about Li Mu's early graduation.

In his heart, his eldest grandson is so outstanding, it is only right that he should be a little special.

"Don't worry, it's just a temporary position. It's very easy. I'm also considering whether to continue my postgraduate studies." Li Mu explained with a smile.

"Then Xiao Mu, will you be a professor in the future, like those who have come to our house before?" Wang Juanhong asked curiously.

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's still too early. Even if you choose to study for a master's degree, you still have to study for a doctorate. It will take at least five or six years to finish it."

……

After a thorough explanation to his family, everyone was relieved about Li Mu's early graduation.

Grandma Li looked at him who had grown up and couldn't help but said with tears in her eyes: "Now that you have graduated, you can be considered to have truly grown up. Go back and burn some paper money for your parents so that they can also know the good news."

Li Mu was silent for a moment. Just as he was about to say something to comfort Grandma Li, he heard her say:

"It's time to get married, Xiao Mu, is there a girl you like?"

"There's no rush to get married, but you can talk about your partner first!"

"If I could see you get married and have children, I would have no regrets in my life!"

……

After comforting Grandma Li for a while, Li Mu returned to the room.

Sitting at the table, the nagging voice in my ears seems to still linger.

He unconsciously recalled what Qian Shuyan said this afternoon: "I think Wang Ya likes you very much, too."

"Research!" Li Mu quickly gathered his thoughts and organized the next research plan.

But he held the pen in his hand and didn't put it down.

"Come to think of it, when I first met the leader, he also advised me to find a girlfriend in college." Looking at the pen, Li Mu suddenly thought of the first time he met Leader Yuan.

But at that time he was busy establishing himself in this era and didn't think about this at all.

As for now, I have no time to think.

So when Qian Shuyan mentioned Wang Ya, he decisively and directly stated that he had no thoughts at all.

As for being special to her?

He just helped her because he thought Wang Ya was more talented and happened to be researching something he was good at.

"Yes, that must be the case!" Li Mu was convinced in his heart, then he picked up a pen and prepared to study how to design an LCD TV.

He did not plan to ask Ask for help immediately. The principle of LCD TV was not complicated and he had a good chance of developing it himself.

Just as Li Mu was about to start writing, a message alert sounded in his mind.

This boy is disturbing my spiritual mind!

Ask: "Lee, your method is great. She likes the fish soup I made very much. We even took a photo together!"

"Image JPG."

After seeing the information and pictures, Li Mu admitted that he was jealous.

In the past, he was the one wandering around while Ask worked hard on scientific research.

I didn't expect that things would change and now I'm the one who suffers more than doing scientific research!
"Congratulations, this girl is very beautiful, her appearance is at least 8 points!" Li Mu glanced at the picture. He had seen Ask's photos. He wore a plaid shirt and jeans, a classic combination that he never changed even when going on a date.

This girl is dressed very beautifully. Her original appearance score of 7 can be increased to 8 after dressing up.

She is wearing a white puffy skirt and looks cute, but she has some buck teeth.

Of course, I can't compare with Wang Ya, her natural beauty is 9.9 points even without makeup.

"Wait!" Li Mu was suddenly startled, not because he suddenly thought of Wang Ya, but because he felt that there was something wrong with this girl.

Why is the feature of buck teeth so abrupt?
"Aske, are you sure she is a Xia person?" Li Mu asked directly.

It's no wonder he was suspicious. Many girls in Xia country have buck teeth, but pretty girls basically avoid this problem, and those who have buck teeth will get them corrected.

On the contrary, I have a good life...

Ask: "Yes, she said she is from Xia country and is studying at a university here. She also happens to be studying the same field as me. Isn't that a coincidence?"

"It's quite a coincidence." Li Mu's face was solemn. He didn't know how to tell Ask that this little guy might be a spy.

If he had not come to this era, he would definitely not have thought so, after all, ordinary people simply cannot access it.

But Ask is a researcher at the M Emperor Research Institute. Although he doesn't know what he is researching specifically, the fact that Ask never mentioned it from beginning to end shows its confidentiality.

"Yeah, I told you we were destined to be together." Ask was still in the illusion.

Li Mu didn't know how to talk to him.

"Forget it, what if I'm overthinking it?" Li Mu thought about it and felt that this was not impossible.

Moreover, Ask is just ignorant of the ways of the world, but he is not a fool and will not be easily deceived.

After thinking for a while, Li Mu asked, "By the way, what phone do you use?"

Hearing this, Ask said, "Xia Wei, last time you said it was useful for playing games, so I changed it specially."

"Why, Li, are you finally willing to play games with me?"

"I'll get the room right away!"

Li Mu said: "No, I mean, let's exchange it for fruit. It can locate and eavesdrop, it's safe."

Ask: “?”

……

In the next few days, the school officially opened, and there were new students everywhere, and the campus was full of youthful vitality.

While preparing for the exam, Li Mu was also preparing materials for the exchange meeting.

Preparing for the exam was not difficult for him, as he had memorized all the textbooks for university major courses long beforehand.

The only part of Marxism-Leninism that I learned in my junior and senior years was that I didn’t spend time memorizing because there was no exam for the time being. I will take this opportunity to finish it once and for all so that I won’t have to memorize it in the future.

Li Mu spent more time preparing materials for his speech at the national exchange conference.

While popularizing the top-blown oxygen converter technology, he also wanted to do something new at the same time.

There are so many geniuses in the Xia Kingdom, there is no need to research everything by yourself. What if some great minds of later generations are present and get inspiration after listening to them, and come up with something?

……

On this day, Li Mu still attended classes as usual. If Qian Shuyan and others didn't say anything, he naturally wouldn't go around shouting about the graduation exam.

Around 10 o'clock in the morning, after the second class, he stretched and was about to go out for a walk during the break.

Unexpectedly, just as he stood up, the counselor of their class suddenly walked in from outside the door, knocked on the table and said:

"I have something to announce. According to the latest policy of the Ministry of Education this year, except for freshmen, all other juniors and seniors can participate in the graduation examination in advance. You can sign up voluntarily."

"As long as you pass all the exams, you can graduate early, and your treatment and assignment will be no different from normal graduation."

"Students who don't sign up can also take part in the test organized by the school. The time is this Sunday, so please be prepared!"

……

One stone caused a thousand waves!

Upon hearing the news, the usually calm and composed academic masters all showed eager looks.

For them, taking the graduation exam in advance is undoubtedly a good choice.

Even if you fail, you can take this opportunity to test your own learning progress and find out the gaps and fill them.

Li Mu looked at Wang Ya without even raising his eyes, and continued reading as if nothing had happened.

……

In the cafeteria, after finishing their meal, Zhang Kai and Li Jian came to Li Mu to complain: "Why do we have to take the exam so suddenly? We are not prepared at all!"

"If we take the test right after the school term starts, the results will definitely be a mess."

"Alas, I don't know if it's still useful to work hard now!"

To graduate, one needs to take more than a dozen professional courses in a row and get at least a good score to be considered qualified.

They knew their abilities were limited and so they did not take the exams, but they could not escape the school exams.

"It's okay. You didn't work hard, but others did!" Li Mu smiled and stabbed the two men in the heart.

Zhang Kai was about to retort, but suddenly frowned and said, "Wait, you don't want to take the graduation exam early like those people do?"

"That's a test of 19 professional courses and elective courses, and the content is nothing we have ever learned!"

"You haven't learned it yet." As soon as the words fell, Shao Yanan's voice sounded behind Zhang Kai.

Hearing this, Zhang Kai's face became slightly embarrassed. Li Jian on the side stepped back a little to avoid being implicated. He didn't learn it either.

"Who said I haven't learned anything? I just want to consolidate my knowledge in school so that I can better build our country," Zhang Kai responded.

Li Mu ignored the people who were fighting, finished the rice in the lunch box in a few bites, then said something, stood up and caught up with Wang Ya, who had just separated from Shao Yanan and went to the sink to wash the lunch box.

While washing, he asked, "Do you plan to graduate early?"

"No, my basic knowledge is not solid enough and I can't pass the exam. I'd better take it one step at a time." Wang Ya answered calmly.

But to Li Mu's ears, it always sounded weird.

Before he could figure it out, Wang Ya washed her lunch box and turned around to go back to the classroom.

Li Mu hurriedly chased after him and asked, "By the way, how is the research on the trajectory calculation of the D-bullet going recently? Have you encountered any problems that cannot be solved?"

Wang Ya didn't say anything and just walked forward, her red lips tightly pursed, her fair face tense, she looked as if she was... angry?
Seeing her reaction, Li Mu realized belatedly and asked, "Did you know about my early graduation from Professor Huang?"

"Don't worry, even if I graduate early, I won't leave school in the short term. I might even continue my postgraduate studies."

"If you want to ask me questions or need any help, you can always come to me."

Wang Ya stopped and turned her head, staring at him with her watery eyes.

……

After school in the afternoon, Li Mu invited Zhang Kai, Li Jian, Shao Yanan and Wang Ya to go out for dinner.

By the way, I told him about my decision to take the graduation exam.

After listening to this, Zhang Kai said worriedly: "What if you are assigned to a place far away after graduation?"

The others were also a little sad.

They did not doubt that Li Mu was capable of passing the exam, but they were just worried about his assignment after graduation.

For college students of this era, there is only one principle to follow in their assignments after graduation - to go where the motherland needs them!
"Don't you plan to study for a master's degree? So many professors in the school, even the dean, are optimistic about you?" Shao Yanan suddenly asked.

Zhang Kai and Li Jian's eyes lit up. Yes, if they studied for a master's degree, they could continue to stay together.

"I'm still thinking about it. For me, a master's degree is just a degree, not something that I have to take." Li Mu paused and continued.

At this time, Wang Ya said, "There is still a lot of time. Even if you graduate early and want to take the postgraduate entrance examination, you have to wait until next year."

"Well, let's work hard together. Maybe before you graduate, I will become a teacher and come to school to teach you." Li Mu said with a smile.
