Chapter 8: Tired

Yelena can scold Anton, which Qi Min did not expect. However, she didn't realize how much Yelena and Anton had opinions about each other at the time, but only felt that it was because she was dragging her time in the lab, which caused this unnecessary misunderstanding.

And afterwards, Anton also expressed his dissatisfaction with her soaking in the laboratory for more than twelve hours a day.

Especially when Qi Min came back at night and pushed open the door in a half-dream, Anton couldn't help but feel distressed and sad when he saw her appearance. But the most terrible thing about Qi Min was not that she spent a long time in the laboratory, but that she was exploited by the boss in the laboratory, and when she got home, she collapsed directly on the sofa and clamored for Anton to help her massage her cervical spine.

It's okay to go once or twice, but after too many times, Anton is very tired from going to work by himself, and he really doesn't have the energy to serve her.

This time, Qi Min didn't even come home until twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, pushed open the door and entered the house, took off his coat and threw it aside, and turned on the TV as soon as he lay down on the sofa.

Anton couldn't wait for her to fall asleep first, but when she heard the sound outside, she hurriedly got up again, and was about to call Qi Min to the bathroom to go to bed after washing, but she didn't expect to ask her and said, "You let me ...... slowly." I haven't eaten dinner yet. ”

Of course, he wondered why Qi Min didn't eat dinner in the school cafeteria, but the current situation was that she hadn't eaten dinner after twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and no matter how she was, she couldn't really be hungry all night. So Anton had to go and cook noodles, and Qi Min was still shouting: "Eggs should be soft!" ”

The noodles were cooked, and Qi Min praised them twice when he ate them, but the time had already dragged on to more than a point.

"Min, do you have to stay in the lab so late?" Anton watched her suck the noodles and couldn't help but say, "I always go to work at nine o'clock in the morning, but I delay it after ten o'clock at night, isn't it tiring?" ”

"I'm tired, I'm dying of exhaustion." Qi Min beckoned to him, "Come and help me press my shoulder." ”

"Press it yourself." Although Anton replied, he still walked around behind her and helped her rub her neck and shoulders, "You work more than twelve hours a day, which is against the labor law." ”

"I am 'voluntary' to work overtime, and this is the case for scientific research migrant workers." Qi Min said with some pain, "We are not employees employed by the school, and the labor law does not apply to us. ”

"Life is so hard." Anton sighed, but still had to say, "But this doesn't work...... Min, as a Bolshevik, you should have the consciousness to defend your rights. ”

Qi Min turned his head to look at him: "What consciousness?" Do you refuse to work overtime? In that case, what happens to my experiment? ”

"Experiment progress?" Anton asked rhetorically, "Your experiment is progressing fast, can it make you money?" What results have you made, and is the intellectual property rights yours? This is the rule of capitalist society, Min, how can you get caught up in this? ”

Listening to the two questions he raised, Qi Min suddenly "woke up".

When she was an undergraduate, she denounced 996 in various ways, why couldn't she react to 996 when it came to herself?

996 has never been a really forced 996, and "voluntary overtime" is also nominally "voluntary", which is not fundamentally different from her current liver experiment. But in fact, what can 996 bring to workers? As an ordinary proletariat, only by letting go of oneself can one be liberated.

Qi Min picked up the bowl and took a sip of soup, falling into contemplation of his career.

But she got out of bed the next morning and went to the lab, and stayed up until about eleven o'clock in the evening.

THIS COMES DOWN TO BEING SCOLDED AS A "LOSER" BECAUSE QI MIN BROKE UP WITH HER BOYFRIEND WHEN SHE WAS AN UNDERGRADUATE. DESPITE THE FACT THAT EVALUATING ONE'S SUBJECT WITH INSULTING WORDS IS ITSELF A CANE-MAKING ACT, QI MIN STILL FEELS HURT BY HIS SELF-ESTEEM IN THIS MATTER, AND SUBCONSCIOUSLY DOES NOT WANT TO BECOME A SO-CALLED "LOSER" IN HIS NEW SCHOOL. Read good books

Her only consolation was that Anton was a man who would never commit something like proletarian infighting.

In fact, in the area where Qi Min's doctoral school is located, because the income level is not high, there are not many decent middle classes, so it is quite common for one of the young couples to work for the other to go to school. Take the laboratory she is in, Gary, who is one year older than Qi Min and Yelena, is supported by his girlfriend.

It's just that under this strategy, the one who makes money usually has higher requirements for the one who further his studies in terms of prospects. After all, graduate students are only paid so little, and it is clear that they are going to gnaw at the target. According to the logic of ordinary people, if you sacrifice yourself for others at this stage, you must point to the future to get some reward.

But for Anton, he really doesn't care if Qi Min can get a reputation for his Ph.D. or not. On the one hand, it is because in terms of probability, even if a student of biology graduates with a doctorate, he is not very competitive in making money, and on the other hand, as a proletariat with a clear class consciousness, he has always disdained to engage in this kind of involution, like Qi Min.

Anyway, people are alive, so why not live happily if you want to live.

————————————

But sometimes, Qi Min's way of letting go of himself for his own pleasure will also make Anton feel unhappy.

During the previous period, Qi Min stayed in the laboratory until 10 o'clock, 11 o'clock or even 12 o'clock every day, mainly to help finish the previous project in the laboratory. And after the article on that topic was sent out, the first person in the joint work invited everyone to have a meal, and after that, Qi Min's workload in the laboratory returned to normal.

During the winter vacation, she went back to China, and when she came back, she brought a stack of posters of the idol sister of the girl group, which were posted everywhere at home.

Every day when Qi Min comes home, he will admire the posters of the young lady on the wall for a while, and by the way, he will also pull Anton to evaluate their appearance and temperament.

Anton thought the young lady was very good-looking at first, but Qi Min couldn't stand it anymore when he was like this every day.

What's worse is that Qi Min sometimes uses the TV screen at home to play animations on weekends, and he is still the kind of girl who is a hundred times cute. It's not that Anton discriminates against animation as an art form, but the girls in the light hundred are too much like young girls, which makes people inevitably think that it is related to pedophilia.

However, if this is an AGC-related hobby, it is not unacceptable. But what Anton couldn't bear was that when he searched for an article on the analysis of Soviet factions during the Stalin period with "faction" in Qi Min's computer, he actually searched for "Girl Faction".

When he saw this kind of thing in his subject's computer, Anton was shocked: "You...... Crazy? Children's sex [harmony] is illegal! ”

Qi Min was nibbling on an apple at the time, and when he glanced at the screen, he said calmly: "These paintings are all high school students, not children." Don't you think there are a lot of American high school students fooling around? ”

"Can that be the same?" Anton closed the laptop screen and couldn't tolerate this evil and illegal image reappearing in the place where he lived, "You draw a group of children, and then say that high school students are high school students?" ”

"Hey, I didn't draw it!" Qi Min also felt incredible, how many years has "Girl Faction" existed, and she had never heard of this kind of child, "People's painting style is like this, I'm just trying to watch a plot." ”

"What's the plot of this kind of comic? If you are all coded, what plot will be left? Anton asked rhetorically, "Delete it quickly, so that the FBI won't trouble you." ”

Qi Min frowned and stared at him for a while, she wanted to get angry a little, but seeing Anton's rather good-looking face, she thought it was better to forget it.

"Okay, okay, deleted, deleted." Qi Min took his notebook and hid the entire folder from an angle that Anton couldn't see.

Because she was persecuted by Yankee children when she was a child and "scared of the well rope for ten years", she can understand this situation. But normal comics should still be read, after all, Qi Min prides himself on being a normal person, and he doesn't think he has any interest in minors.
