Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 51

Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui approached and stood in front of the young man holding the sign, but saw the young man still stretching his neck and looking into the distance. He even felt that Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui standing in front of him blocked his sight, and his feet slightly Move two steps away from Lin Jinglan and Zhou Hui.

Lin Jinglan was surprised, she and Zhou Hui walked straight towards the man opposite, why didn't he see them?

Lin Jinglan coughed lightly, "Hello, are you Gu Qi?"

Gu Qi, who was concentrating on finding someone, was startled when he heard a voice sounding close at hand.After recovering, his eyes swept over Zhou Hui and Lin Jinglan, even though he tried his best to control them, there was still a look of astonishment on his face.

After a long time, Gu Qi looked at Zhou Hui and said, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect you to be a woman. I've been looking for—" Gu Qi's words stopped abruptly, as if realizing that he had said something wrong. Zhang's face was flushed, and he quickly made up for it, "I didn't expect you to be so young. I looked at your academic achievements and thought you would be 60 or [-] years old."

Gu Qi thought that this sentence was to praise Teacher Lin for being young and promising. Teacher Lin must be happy to hear it, and it can make up for what he accidentally said just now that he thought Teacher Lin was a man.

Unexpectedly, after these words were spoken, the "Mr. Lin" standing opposite still had a dumbfounded expression on his face, as if he didn't understand what Gu Qi was saying at all.

The little girl next to "Ms. Lin" also had a weird expression on her face.

Gu Qi moved his eyes to the little girl, saw that the little girl's eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to "Mr. Lin", and he immediately understood, "Mr. Lin, is this your daughter? She really looks like you. "

Gu Qi saw "Mr. Lin" and her daughter standing in the same place, motionless. He reached out to take the luggage from "Mr. Lin" and motioned to follow him. He said, "There are many people at the station. Say."

Finally, Lin Jinglan couldn't help it anymore, she burst out laughing, and stretched out her hand to Gu Qi, "Senior Brother Gu, hello, I'm Lin Jinglan."

Gu Qi's eyes moved and landed on Lin Jinglan's face, his eyes were blank, he stared at Lin Jinglan blankly, as if he didn't understand Lin Jinglan's words.After a while, Gu Qi took a deep breath and pointed at Lin Jinglan, "You, what are you talking about? Are you Lin Jinglan? No...not...I mean, you are Lin Jinglan?"

Lin Jinglan was confused by Gu Qi's reaction, "Brother Gu, I'm Lin Jinglan." Pointing to Zhou Hui beside her, she said, "This is my mother."

Gu Qi’s eyes widened, and he couldn’t accept this fact no matter what. He admired the one who had published several papers, could come up with technological innovations like energy-saving stoves, wrote such excellent patent applications, and was of great help to him in correspondence. The "Ms. Lin" whom I admired turned out to be this young girl in front of me?
He originally thought that "Ms. Lin" from Qingshan Middle School would be a man in his 60s and [-]s, who had always been interested in the field of machinery and energy. After decades of accumulation, he was able to achieve such great achievements in papers and patents...

When he mistakenly thought that Lin Jinglan's mother was Lin Jinglan just now, he was already very surprised, because Lin Jinglan's mother seemed to be just 40 years old, and she was still a woman.He never expected that the real Lin Jinglan was the little girl in front of him!

However, the facts were in front of him, and Gu Qi couldn't help but not believe it. He heard Lin Jinglan say to him, "Brother Gu, did you misunderstand that I am a teacher of Qingshan Middle School?" Lin Jinglan smiled, "No, I am a student of Qingshan Middle School. I just graduated from high school this year."

Gu Qi forced himself to calm down, not to make a fool of himself in front of Lin Jinglan and her mother. He wanted to smile, but his face twitched, and he said to Zhou Hui and Lin Jinglan, "Stay over there, follow me."

After getting in the car, Gu Qi still didn't know what attitude to use to face Lin Jinglan and her mother. Every time his eyes fell on Lin Jinglan, seeing her petite figure and young face, he hurriedly looked away. .

Gu Qi comforted himself and said that it wasn't that he was too fragile mentally. It was hard for anyone to suddenly learn that the old teacher who was highly respected and accomplished a lot in his heart suddenly turned into a little girl who was several years younger than him.

Lin Jinglan said, "Brother Gu——"

Gu Qi hurriedly interrupted her, "You don't need to call me Senior Brother, just call me Gu Qi by my name, I dare not call you Senior Brother. Don't dare to call me Senior Brother."

Lin Jinglan looked at Gu Qi blankly, "Brother, why do you say that? You are already a graduate student, several years older than me..."

Gu Qi felt bitter. Although he was several years older than Lin Jinglan, Lin Jinglan's knowledge and scientific research ability were far superior to his. Before that, it was Lin Jinglan who gave him advice and help. He used to call Lin Jinglan "you ", how dare he be a senior brother now?

But Gu Qi was taken aback, and suddenly had a guess, "You took the college entrance examination this year...then the university you got into is Tsinghua University?"

Lin Jinglan nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, after I go back to school, maybe I need to bother my senior."

Gu Qi was surprised at first, and then he took it for granted that someone like himself can be admitted to Tsinghua University, but Lin Jinglan is much better than him, so Tsinghua University is naturally easy to catch.Since they were from the same school, it was perfectly normal for Lin Jinglan to call him senior brother.

Gu Qi asked, "Then what major did you study?"

Lin Jinglan replied, "Energy."

Gu Qi was taken aback, and looked at Lin Jinglan unexpectedly. Lin Jinglan also chose energy major?It turned out to be the same major as him!
Lin Jinglan looked at Gu Qi's surprised eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Gu is surprised? I thought Brother Gu could guess it. After all, I have published two papers before, both in the field of energy."

Gu Qi suddenly realized that Lin Jinglan's published papers and applied for patents were indeed in their energy field, otherwise his supervisor Professor Zhang would not have reviewed the papers, and he would not have had the chance to get in touch with Lin Jinglan.

It's just that he still can't figure it out. Almost all the energy majors he is in are boys. How can Lin Jinglan, a delicate and delicate girl, be interested in this major?To be honest, their majors inevitably have to deal with large machinery, coal, oil, and various biomass energy, which is often tiring and dirty.And not only energy, almost all engineering majors are boys, and girls will choose liberal arts and business, and they will not choose hard and tiring engineering.

But Gu Qi thought about it again, and felt that Lin Jinglan couldn't be treated in the same way as an ordinary girl. He hadn't forgotten how amazing Lin Jinglan was, and it was like this before she went to college. After graduating from college... Gu Qi didn't dare to imagine .

Lin Jinglan saw that Gu Qi didn't speak for a long time, and his eyes became scattered, knowing that he was distracted, and asked, "Senior brother Gu, which guest house are you looking for?"

Long before Lin Jinglan came to Beijing, she wrote to ask Gu Qi to pick her and Zhou Hui up at the station, and also asked Gu Qi to find a guest house in advance, one that was close to Tsinghua University and had better conditions, and it didn't matter if it was more expensive.

Lin Jinglan actually doesn't like to bother people, but now it's not like decades later, you can go out after booking a hotel online, no matter at home or abroad, you can just book a flight ticket and a hotel.Nowadays, when you come to a strange city, it will be very inconvenient if there is no one to receive and help you.

However, Lin Jinglan found that compared with her previous life, she actually has a lot more openness to the matter of "being favored by others". Thinking about the reason, it is probably because she can also provide a lot of help to others, so she is being favored by others. When you help, you don't feel so sincere and fearful, but feel that helping each other is a win-win situation.

Senior Brother Gu quickly came back to his senses and answered Lin Jinglan's question, "Chengjun Guest House is very close to Tsinghua University. It takes 10 minutes to walk to the entrance of Tsinghua University. The environment is also very good, but the price is a little more expensive than other guest houses."

Lin Jinglan smiled, "Thank you, brother."

After the three got out of the car and walked to the Chengjun Guest House, Lin Jinglan found that Brother Gu had found the guest house exactly as she had asked in her letter. The room was clean and tidy, and the gate of Tsinghua University could be seen from the door of the guest house.

The room in the guest house is very spacious, the windows are bright and clean, and the sunlight comes in through the big windows, making Lin Jinglan feel more comfortable.

Zhou Hui waited for Gu Qi to leave, and asked Lin Jinglan, "Jinglan, is this place too expensive? It's enough for one night—"

Lin Jinglan interrupted Zhou Hui with a smile, "It's enough to live comfortably, isn't earning money just to spend it?"

Between Zhou Hui and Lin Jinglan, Lin Jinglan had always been the one to make the decision. Zhou Hui didn't say anything after hearing the words.However, Lin Jinglan discovered that Zhou Hui actually liked this guest house very much. After all, anyone could tell the good from the bad. The rooms in the guest house were much more comfortable than Lin Shan and Zhou Hui's cramped home.

Lin Jinglan took advantage of Zhou Hui's time to pack her luggage, went into the bathroom and took a shower, the journey was full of dust, trains and cars, Lin Jinglan was covered in sweat.When Lin Jinglan came out of the shower, Zhou Hui had already packed up the few luggage, and complained to Lin Jinglan, "You girl, you are really not allowed to bring anything, but you are not allowed to bring your clothes. A few……"

Lin Jinglan smiled and said, "I don't bring those clothes, let's buy new ones in Beijing."

Zhou Hui glared at Lin Jinglan, "You are the only one who is generous." Turning around, she also went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Lin Jinglan was lying on the bed, waiting for Zhou Hui to come out, wondering why Zhou Hui had been washing for so long, when she heard singing from the bathroom.

Zhou Hui hummed a minor tune that Lin Jinglan had never heard before. It was light and bright. Lin Jinglan heard Zhou Hui's singing for the first time, and was surprised to find that Zhou Hui's singing was so beautiful.Lin Jinglan pursed her lips and smiled, it seemed that Zhou Hui was really happy.

After a long time, Zhou Hui finally came out of the shower, her face turned rosy under the steam from the hot water.Lin Jinglan found that Zhou Hui was actually very beautiful, and she felt a smile in her heart, that's right, her own facial features were all inherited from Zhou Hui, and they were [-]% similar, so how could Zhou Hui be ugly?

It's just that Zhou Hui always had a sad and frightened look on her face before, no matter how beautiful she was, it was all covered up.

Zhou Hui was also tired, so he lay down on the bed and closed his eyes for a nap with Lin Jinglan.

Early the next morning, Zhou Hui dragged Lin Jinglan out, "Aren't you looking for a house to rent? Let's go there quickly. If we can rent a house one day earlier, we will spend one day less in a hostel. If you sleep for one night, you will lose a lot of money. I can’t sleep well because of the distress. In the hostel, I feel distressed sitting, lying down, and standing in the shower.”

Lin Jinglan pursed her lips, thinking that Zhou Hui obviously couldn't sleep well last night, she woke up several times in the middle of the night, and saw Zhou Hui sleeping soundly beside her, breathing evenly and gently.What's more, it hurts to stand while taking a bath. Last night when Zhou Hui was taking a bath, she sang happily.

Lin Jinglan didn't say anything, she also wanted to find a suitable house as soon as possible, so she would be at ease after renting it.

As soon as she walked out of the gate of the hostel, Lin Jinglan saw a figure standing at the door, and her footsteps stopped. She was surprised, "Senior Brother Gu? Why are you here so early in the morning?"
