Traveling through 1980 to become a top student

Chapter 81

"Mom, listen to me slowly. Whether you agree with me or not, don't get angry. If you feel that something is wrong, we can discuss it." Lin Jinglan said, "The first thing Before that, I have to tell you something that I have been keeping from you, that is, the house our family lives in is not rented, I bought it long ago."

After Lin Jinglan finished speaking, she looked at Zhou Hui's expression.Zhou Hui was taken aback, and it took a long time to realize the content of Lin Jinglan's words, his eyes widened, "This, this..." But he couldn't say anything for a long time.In the end, I just breathed a sigh of relief, "I bought it, and I have a root. I feel uneasy all day long when renting a house, just like living under someone else's roof..."

Zhou Hui was naturally surprised, but if she had known that Lin Jinglan had spent all the money on hand to buy a house, she would have been very nervous and at a loss, and was very opposed to Lin Jinglan buying a house.But now that Zhou Hui looked at the amount in the passbook in his hand, it would naturally not be like that again.With money in your hand, you have confidence in your heart.Moreover, she has thoroughly seen Lin Jinglan's ability to earn money. She can earn tens of thousands of yuan in a year, so it is not too much to buy a house.

Zhou Hui thought, her daughter is different, she is knowledgeable, cultured and capable, so she doesn't have to work hard to make money, the money will naturally rush into her hands.Now I just bought a house, maybe in a few years, I will buy a villa. Since it is the daughter's own money, she can't hold back her daughter from spending it, no matter if she wants to eat, drink or live well. , she can't hold her daughter back.

With the ability to make money, Zhou Hui thought that even if he spent more money, it would be nothing.What's more, Lin Jinglan is not squandering recklessly, buying a house is serious real estate.Taking a step back, even if one day Lin Jinglan can't make any money, she, as a mother, can always support her daughter.Zhou Hui really has enough confidence now.

Lin Jinglan said, "So the first thing is, I want to use the 1 yuan in this booklet to buy another house near our house."

Zhou Hui was taken aback again. Although she had just accepted the fact that she had already bought the house she lived in, buying another house was another matter.In the minds of Zhou Hui's generation, even the concept of commercial housing has nothing to do with it. Housing is allocated by the unit for living, as long as there is a place to live.Now that there is such a spacious and bright house to settle down in, it is more than enough for her and Lin Jinglan to live in, so why buy another house?
Zhou Hui said, "In other people's houses, there are five or six people who live in two rooms. My mother and I live in one room, and there is a big living room. Why buy a house? No one will live in it! So it’s empty? I think there’s nothing wrong with doing something with this money, so why put all the money on the house?”

Lin Jinglan said with a smile, "The house is still cheap now, but in the future, the house price will inevitably rise. It is not impossible for the price to become ten times or a hundred times what it is now. Buy it now while it is cheap, and then you will make a profit. There is nothing like this profit." Big."

Zhou Hui believed Lin Jinglan's words without hesitation. She knew that Lin Jinglan had always been farsighted. , buy another suite!"

"Leave this to me. You are usually so busy with school." Zhou Hui took over this matter, and now she has experienced a lot of experience, and she is no longer the Zhou Hui who dared not speak and could not do things. .Lin Jinglan felt at ease with Zhou Hui's work, nodded and said, "That's what I mean, Mom, take the 1 yuan in this passbook and look for a suitable house near our house."

Lin Jinglan specifically warned, "It must be a house near our house, and this one is the one, not the ones far away."

A sentence popped into Lin Jinglan's mind, if you want to buy a house, you must buy a house in Wudaokou!

Zhou Hui nodded, indicating that he knew.

Lin Jinglan continued, looking a little embarrassed, she expected that Zhou Hui would agree to buy a house, but she was really not sure about the second matter, "There is 4 yuan in this third passbook, but I have [-] yuan for this money. I don't want to do it myself, I want to do something for the school..."

Zhou Hui was stunned, "Donate to the school?"

Lin Jinglan nodded, carefully waiting for Zhou Hui's reaction.Zhou Hui's reaction greatly exceeded her expectations, and she nodded quite simply, "Okay! That's how it should be. Without the training of the school, you wouldn't be able to earn so much money. You should give back to the school!"

Lin Jinglan was stunned!She never expected that Zhou Hui's ideological realm was so high!
She felt that without the big tree of Tsinghua University, Qingjing Patent Application Company would not be able to stand up by itself. It is better not to collect all the profits in the first year. Although Tsinghua has dividends, most of the dividends are Qingjing The patent application company used Tsinghua's office, which means paying rent.

Lin Jinglan was thinking that she would have to use the first year's profit to do something conspicuous, so as to tie the company and Tsinghua more firmly.

Anyway, the money will definitely be earned again in the future, but if the big tree of Tsinghua University does not let them rely on it, it will be really troublesome.

Lin Jinglan is indeed grateful. After entering Tsinghua University, Professor Zhang cared for her very much. Although she could not give her much specific guidance and inspiration in scientific research, she still gave her a lot of advice in the general direction. After all, Professor Zhang She is also a person who has done research all her life, and she is always much more experienced than her.Tsinghua University indeed provided her with a good environment.

But even so, Lin Jinglan made the decision to spend the profit of 4 yuan to the school after deliberating for several days before finally making up her mind.

But in the blink of an eye, Zhou Hui immediately nodded in agreement when she heard that she would give 4 yuan to the school?
Now it's Lin Jinglan who is astonished, people in the 80s have such a high level of thought!
4 yuan in this era is a huge sum of money!The 4 yuan of later generations is completely incomparable!

Zhou Hui's ideological realm is indeed very high, but if you analyze the reasons in depth, the reasons are quite complicated.In fact, after Zhou Hui became rich in her own family, she was always a little embarrassed. After all, everyone was poor in the past, and they were all on the same level. There was no difference, and every household was similar.Now that Zhou Hui's family is getting rich first, it is very embarrassing. There are five or six people in other families who live in two rooms, and one person in her own family sleeps in a big room. Lin Jinglan also pays attention to the quality of life, so the cost of food and clothing is always higher than others a cut.Zhou Hui felt ashamed like many of the first batch of people who got rich.

If donating tens of thousands of dollars to the school, this is a very noble thing in Zhou Hui's heart, and she will not feel that the remaining money in her hands is hot, and she feels that she can spend the money in her hands with peace of mind.

Although it was fallacious, Zhou Hui really thought so.There is another reason, that is, although Zhou Hui is now well-off, she is only living a well-off life. Zhou Hui is already very satisfied. She has never experienced what it is like to live a very rich life, so she has no regard for money and material things. Predation is heavy. She doesn't know what earth-shaking changes 4 yuan can bring to her life.Seeing that her life is better than the people around her now, Zhou Hui is extremely satisfied and embarrassed.

The matter of contributing 4 yuan to the school was decided in this way.But Lin Jinglan is still thinking about how to contribute.Lin Jinglan always felt that it was too hasty to donate directly. After being famous for a while, the popularity will go down after that. No one can remember it for a long time.

Lin Jinglan walked into the laboratory building of the Energy Department while thinking, and just entered the corridor, when she heard a girl's nervous voice, "What can I do? Such expensive experimental equipment is now wet by rain, so it can't be used at all." Now...will the department let me pay for it? But the equipment is so expensive, I can't afford it for the rest of my life."

The voice of a boy next to her comforted her, "I must tell the department about this matter, and you can't do it if you procrastinate. I will go with you now and explain it clearly to the professor. I can't blame you for this matter. You obviously closed the windows before you left, but the windows were too old, so they were damaged by the wind, and the rain got in and damaged the equipment. It’s not your responsibility, and you won’t be compensated.”

"Besides, the instrument is just broken now. Maybe it can be repaired? There is no need to replace it with a new one. It may not be expensive to repair it." The boy's voice is firm, "Hurry up, let's talk to the professor together."

Lin Jinglan walked towards the sound, turned a corner and saw them. It turned out that there were not only two people standing, a man and a woman, but also several students around them.The girl's eyes were red and swollen, she had obviously cried, and now she was dragged upstairs by the boy.Several other students did not follow, but stood still and talked, "Oh, I really can't blame her for this, it's just bad luck. The school can't let her lose money?"

"Impossible. But if she doesn't lose money, her loss is not small. Now that the experiment is almost finished, but something like this happened, months of hard work were wasted."

"Yeah... It's all because our building is too old and dilapidated. If the window frames weren't severely deformed, the windows wouldn't close tightly at all. How could they be blown down by the wind? In fact, this will happen, but it will happen sooner or later. It's just that she was unlucky and let her catch up."

Someone immediately echoed, "Yeah, this building is really not good. It doesn't matter if the office building in the dormitory building is a bit dilapidated, but this laboratory building can't handle it. Let's not say that the windows are broken and the equipment is wet in the rain. The electric wires are also very old, and the ground wire is pulled out by ourselves and buried under it, I am very worried every time I do the experiment.”

"Ventilation doesn't work either. You don't know how painful it is for us to do biomass energy experiments. It's like running out of a fire every time. I think I will lose several years of life after finishing my Ph.D. .”

Listening to the words of these postgraduate and doctoral students, Lin Jinglan stopped and her mind was racing.

The experimental building of the energy department is indeed not up to standard in many places. The building is too old and too old, and there are many hidden safety hazards...threats to the safety of people, threats to the safety of instruments...

Lin Jinglan looked around and saw a lot of things piled up in the corridor. Because the room was small, they had to be piled inside the corridor. Obviously, the fire protection was not up to standard.The more Lin Jinglan thought about it, the more she felt cold sweat all over her body. It's okay if nothing happens, but if something happens...

Once something happens, it will be too late to regret it.If the data is lost, it can be done again, and if the equipment is broken, it can be bought again. If something happens to someone, it is really irreparable.Lin Jinglan had to live again, and naturally she cherished her life very much. In her previous life, she died suddenly because of her poor health and did experiments all night.

The layout of her own laboratory is fairly safe, so she had ignored the safety of the entire building before, thinking that it was normal for the building to be dilapidated in the 80s, but she ignored the fact that the laboratory building must not be like this!
Lin Jinglan was almost thankful that she just happened to hear the conversation today. Fortunately, the accident this time was only due to the equipment getting wet by the rain, and no personal safety was involved.It sounded a wake-up call for everyone.Lin Jinglan didn't know if other people's alarm bells sounded, but her alarm bells sounded anyway.

Lin Jinglan knew what to do with the 4 yuan she wanted to donate to Tsinghua University.

Lin Jinglan submitted an application to the school to donate money to build a new laboratory building for the Department of Energy, but there is an additional requirement, that is, the design and construction of the new building, and she must participate in the whole process.

Lin Jinglan kept a low profile and did not mention this matter to any of her classmates, but after the application was submitted to the school, it naturally caused an uproar among the department leaders and school leaders.

A sophomore in the school wants to donate [-] yuan to help the school build a building!

And the 4 yuan is not because the student has money in his family and wants to give his children certain privileges through donations, but because the student has earned so much money and is now donating it to the school!

This is really unbelievable.

After Professor Zhang learned of Lin Jinglan's application, he sighed and said, "You child, you are too serious. Wouldn't it be nice to keep so much money by yourself? Qingjing Patent Application Company's ability from the initial idea to the patent application , to staff training, company management... Which one is not your effort. It is a good thing to repay your alma mater, but you are only a sophomore, and it will not be too late to repay you when you really become famous..."

"The building of the school should of course be funded by the school. Why do you need a student to donate money?" Professor Zhang said, his eyes full of worry.I wondered if Lin Jinglan's move would be too ostentatious?After all, it is 4 yuan if you take it easily, saying that you will build a building for the school.All he knew was that Lin Jinglan was noble, and she actually donated all the money she had to the school.I don't know, maybe I think how much money Lin Jinglan has in his hands.

And just as he said, the school should of course pay for the building of the building. The state allocates a lot of funds to Tsinghua every year.After a few years, even if it doesn't work for a few years, after more than ten years, the building of the Department of Energy will definitely be dilapidated and unusable, and the school will definitely build a new building by then.

Lin Jinglan knew that Professor Zhang was thinking of her sincerely, and thanked Professor Zhang for his kindness, but she was not moved.After all, she already had her own considerations on this matter.

School leaders are not unanimous in this matter.Some people are very much in favor of it, thinking that this is a good thing that students care about the school and are willing to contribute, not to mention that the school’s funds are also tight nowadays, and buying experimental equipment and experimental equipment is something that cannot be delayed, so the construction of the building has to be postponed again and again. When you have money, when will you build.Now that Lin Jinglan is willing to donate to the school, it is of course a good thing that she could not have wished for.

As for the opposing leaders, they naturally have their reasons.Lin Jinglan is only a sophomore, how could the school accept her huge donation of [-] yuan with peace of mind?Even alumni who have graduated from Tsinghua University for many years and have a successful career do not have such generous donations.No matter how tight the school's funds are, the money for the construction of the building can be reapplied to the state, and it can be raised from alumni who have graduated for many years, but they can't ask for money from a sophomore like Lin Jinglan.Of course, applying to the state and soliciting donations from alumni all have risks and drawbacks. The easiest way is not to build a building for the time being, and wait until you have money to build it.

Lin Jinglan waited for many days, but she still didn't get a decision from the school leader, but various news came to her from time to time, one day at a time, which made her feel very anxious.

A few days later, Lin Jinglan finally received a notice telling her to go to the principal's office.She took a deep breath, knowing that it was time to reveal the result.
