Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 24

Since Zhou Hui lived in the faculty dormitory, Lin Jinglan only visited her every few days. Firstly, she was really busy, and secondly, she was guilty, afraid that Zhou Hui would find out that her daughter had changed her mind.

But she left enough money and food stamps for Zhou Hui, and told her not to wrong herself.

It was on Friday night that Lin Jinglan found out that she had won the first prize in the city. On Saturday morning, she was pulled over to announce the good news. After a lot of tossing, she returned to school. It was already past lunch time, the cafeteria was empty and the windows were cleaned up clean.

Lin Jinglan sighed, the present is incomparable to her previous life, the lack of supplies, even if she wanted to store some snacks in the dormitory, she couldn't do it.This time I missed the meal, so I had to wait until dinner hungry.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she returned to the dormitory, Zhao Yumei said to Lin Jinglan, "Your mother came to see you just now and told you to go directly to her dormitory when you come back."

Lin Jinglan was beating drums all the way, did Zhou Hui start to suspect something?If Zhou Hui asked how she suddenly became so good at studying, how would she answer?

She was getting more and more flustered, it was too obvious to be number one in the city in the preliminary exam.Moreover, after Zhou Hui moved to the school, she only went to see Zhou Hui a few times. She deluded herself into thinking that she would not be noticed, but now she suddenly realized that her daughter's sudden estrangement from her mother was obviously even more disturbing. Suspect.

Lin Jinglan nervously pushed open the door of Zhou Hui's single room, and was stunned.

On the table in front of him was a curtain of dumplings neatly piled up. Zhou Hui was sitting on a chair beside her with flour sticking to her apron.

Seeing Lin Jinglan come in, Zhou Hui stood up in surprise, "You're back? I'm going to order dumplings."

It was only then that Lin Jinglan noticed that there was a pot on the stove beside it, and the water in it was boiling. Zhou Hui deftly put the dumplings into the pot.

Lin Jinglan asked in a daze, "Why are you making dumplings?"

Zhou Hui's face was full of smiles, "You passed the preliminaries exam, of course you have to celebrate it!"

"And I reckon you won't be able to catch up with lunch at noon today, and the cafeteria must be out of food. It's just time to make dumplings."

White steam kept coming out of the pot. Through the steam, Lin Jinglan saw Zhou Hui's focused face, and her vision became more and more blurred.

After the white dumplings rolled up and down in the pot for a while, they all floated up. Zhou Hui picked up the dumplings and put a handful of noodles in the pot.

Lin Jinglan was taken aback, and asked in surprise, "I've already cooked dumplings, why are you still cooking noodles?"

Zhou Hui said very naturally, "You can eat dumplings, and Mom can eat noodles."

Zhou Hui put the noodles in a bowl without any brine, so he put a spoonful of salt into the bowl, and mixed it a few times. It was white and without any color.Zhou Hui pushed a plate full of dumplings in front of Lin Jinglan, picked up the white noodles in his bowl with chopsticks, and started to eat.

Lin Jinglan has never seen such dry noodles, without stew, not even a vegetable leaf.

Ever since Lin Jinglan pushed open the door exhausted and hungry, and saw Zhou Hui in an apron busy putting the wrapped dumplings into the pot, she had been holding back her tears.Now she couldn't bear it anymore, tears fell like beads with a broken thread.

Zhou Hui took two mouthfuls of noodles, looked up and saw Lin Jinglan was crying, put down her rice bowl abruptly, and asked at a loss, "What's wrong?"

Lin Jinglan actually didn't know why she was crying, maybe seeing Zhou Hui like this reminded her of her parents in her previous life.

Ever since she crossed over, she has been tense all the time, trying to win the chance to repeat her studies, studying hard, telling herself that she must be admitted to a first-class university.She felt that she was alone in this world, she could only rely on herself for everything, the opportunity to study depended on herself, and the money for studying depended on herself.

But now Lin Jinglan felt unprecedentedly relaxed facing Zhou Hui, who had a weak personality, and gave birth to a feeling that she could temporarily lean on Zhou Hui, take a rest and take a breath.

Zhou Hui was flustered by Lin Jinglan's crying, and kept asking what happened to Lin Jinglan.

Lin Jinglan barely held back her tears, and put the dumplings one by one into Zhou Hui's bowl, "Let's eat dumplings together."

Zhou Hui was taken aback, "Oh, you're crying because of this? Mom eats noodles very well. Really, Mom loves noodles."

Lin Jinglan took a bite of the dumpling and found that there was quite a lot of meat in the stuffing.Lin Jinglan made a guess and asked, "Do you still have food stamps and meat tickets? You spent a lot of meat tickets to make this dumpling, right?"

"Yes," Zhou Hui was afraid that Lin Jinglan would be worried, so he took out food stamps and meat stamps, "Look, there are plenty."

Lin Jinglan saw Zhou Hui's remaining meat tickets, and calculated it in an instant. Zhou Hui had never eaten meat dishes in the cafeteria these days, and the meat tickets were only used for this dumpling meal.There were also a lot of food stamps left, and Lin Jinglan didn't know whether Zhou Hui had a small appetite or was eating sparingly.

Lin Jinglan felt sore, "Don't be reluctant to spend."

Zhou Hui smiled and agreed repeatedly, but Lin Jinglan knew in her heart that Zhou Hui must still be reluctant to eat and drink by herself.

Lin Jinglan ate several dumplings in a row before stopping.She didn't like to eat dumplings in her previous life, but she actually thinks that the dumplings are very palatable now.

After eating half full, Lin Jinglan insisted not to move her chopsticks again, so Zhou Hui had to eat the remaining half plate of dumplings.

Lin Jinglan made up her mind that she would take good care of Zhou Hui and become Zhou Hui's reliance.

Lin Jinglan felt that the food stamps and meat stamps in her hand were still a little small. Originally, it was enough for her alone, but now she had to add Zhou Hui's share.And obviously, if there were fewer food stamps and meat stamps, Zhou Hui would be even more reluctant to spend them.

After some inquiries, Lin Jinglan learned that food stamps and meal stamps can also be bought, and some people would sell them privately for money if they couldn't use them up at home.

Lin Jinglan was very pleasantly surprised when she heard the news, and decided to write another paper and submit it to earn some royalties.Moreover, Lin Jinglan had already planned that she would have to earn her own money in advance for her travel and tuition fees to go to college, food and clothing.

But what to write in this paper made Lin Jinglan very distressed.

The previous paper happened by mistake, and just had a ready-made example, so I published a paper that is actually in the field of pedagogy.

But if she writes another article, Lin Jinglan will definitely not write about this field again, after all, she doesn't know much about this field.

Lin Jinglan made up her mind to write a thesis in the field of energy in her previous life.But if she wanted to publish an engineering paper, she had to have experimental data to support it, and she didn't have the conditions to do the experiment now.

After much deliberation, Lin Jinglan had no choice but to give up writing a paper that required experiments and decided to write a review.The so-called review is to summarize the previous research results, and then make some comments and prospects.

Anyone who has written a review knows that a review is easy and simple, but difficult to say.

The simplicity is that there is almost no need for theoretical calculations or experimental data. You just need to read a bunch of previous papers and summarize them together to write an article.

The difficulty lies in that if it is not for a broad and deep understanding of a field and an industry, the things written are just patchwork and have no value.So generally speaking, it is only the big cows in the field who write the review, and only the reviews written by the big cows can be published.

And how to determine who is qualified to write a review?Naturally, it depends on how many papers the author has published in this field.

Generally, senior scientific researchers who have been studying in a field for decades and have published many papers can be regarded as masters and qualified to publish a review.

Lin Jinglan has never published a single paper in the field of energy, so it is ridiculous to write a review for the first time.

But she chose to write a review, and she believed that her review would be published.

And she didn't write papers purely for publishing and earning royalties. In her previous life, she wasted countless time and energy on academic rubbish. She always had to spend her mind in a huge amount of information before she could find the information she really needed. Therefore, the behavior she despises the most is Create academic trash.

She really wants to write a review that has scientific research value, enables those who have just entered the energy major to understand this field as soon as possible, and can inspire and guide those who have already studied in the energy major.

This is not something that comes easily, but for her who has undergone many years of scientific research training, she can still do it with hard work.

Especially now that domestic scientific research can be said to be a waste of time, stagnant or even regressed for many years, and it has just started.Regardless of this point, it is the 80s, the development of domestic and foreign energy, for her who is studying this field in the 21st century, it is really simple, there are too many jobs that have not been done, too many inventions and progress have not yet been born.

Lin Jinglan called up the documents she had read in her previous life in the system, and began to select and read them.She is especially grateful that she has taken the course of energy history, otherwise she would not have read the literature before the 80s.

To her surprise, the more she read, the more things she needed to write, such as energy management, primary energy consumption, coal production, major industries, energy consumption composition...

Almost every aspect needs to write a good review to summarize the previous results and guide future research.

After several days of hard thinking and meditation, Lin Jinglan finally made a decision, and she started writing from the most basic!
The most basic is often the most needed and most practical.Now even these most basic foundations haven't been built, she can't build castles in the air on them.

Lin Jinglan started to write down the title of her thesis on the paper - a summary of the dynamics of energy work at home and abroad.

Lin Jinglan's hand barely paused, and the sentence at the beginning of the thesis was written smoothly from the tip of the pen, "The energy issue is a major issue of strategic significance, and the speed of a country's industrial development depends to a large extent on how well this issue is solved... ..."

It took only a few days for Lin Jinglan to finish the draft of this thesis.The thesis is not long, with a total of ten pages, but it includes all the key points of the energy situation at home and abroad.

Although the default rule is that it is impossible for a person who has not published more than ten papers in a field to publish a review.What's more, she hasn't even published a paper in the field of energy now?

But Lin Jinglan looked at her paper with satisfaction and firmly believed that it could be published.

The only question left, she thought, was how would she explain the sources of these references after her paper was published?

After all, as a high school student in a township middle school, she has absolutely no chance to come into contact with these documents.
