Chapter 64: The Lazy Man
Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong mentioned that she would introduce the object to Qi Min, that is, she said it in passing, but she didn't mention it again. After lunch, Mr. Qi Zhiguang and Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong took Qi Min to the supermarket to buy groceries - this was one of the most common family activities in her family.
Maybe I think that the child is old after all-he has been an adult for ten years-there is no need to ask more, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang just talked about what happened at home today, and Qi Min also talked about her current life situation a little selectively.
"Lele, when is your final holiday?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong also asked, "Your grandmother went to Hainan to find her friend, we can also go to Hainan to have fun during the Chinese New Year." β
To be honest, although Qi Min took transoceanic flights every year before, he had never even been to Hainan seriously. She really wanted to go, but there was still Anton and Mimi.
"We ...... Laboratory ......," Qi Min said anxiously, "Our laboratory is short of instruments, and we plan to take advantage of the winter vacation to borrow other people's instruments to do experiments." β
"Why are you so busy?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said helplessly, "You are the boss, why do you have to work overtime on holidays." β
Qi Min smiled bitterly: "It's just a joke to call 'boss', the laboratory is the public property of the state, and it is not mine." Anyway, it's a different way to work for the school. β
Hearing her say this, Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong had to comfort her. Now who doesn't work for others, even if they are civil servants, they have to listen to the call of their superiors to work for the country.
Qi Min complained a few words about how low the salary of the Chinese Technical University was, but suddenly received a phone call. She picked it up and saw that it was Anton calling, and hurriedly picked up the phone before her parents came over curiously to take a look: "Hey, what's wrong?" β
"Are you coming back for dinner?" Anton asked.
"Uh...... No...... bar. Qi Min glanced at Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong next to her, her mother looked as if she still had to feed her those dark dishes.
"It's going to take so long." Anton sighed casually.
Qi Min just wanted to say that this was her parents after all, but he thought that Anton was an orphan, and he didn't have the time spent with his parents in his memory, so I am afraid it is difficult to understand what kind of mentality Qi Min had when he went home to see his parents.
She pretended to be loud in the supermarket, raised her voice and said, "Hey? What do you say, it's too noisy in the supermarket. β
Qi Min wanted to take care of Anton's "glass heart" in her imagination, but Anton didn't seem to feel anything: "You're in the supermarket?" Then you buy a dun cloth. The cloth at home is broken. β
Qi Min felt inexplicable, but the dun cloth was broken and he really wanted to replace it with a new one, so he also agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Qi Min looked around, but he couldn't find a place to sell dun cloth for a while: "Mom, where is the dun cloth sold?" β
"This supermarket was renovated last year, and the cloth brooms have been moved to the second floor." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong answered for her, and asked, "Why do you want to buy dun cloth?" β
"Oh, my houseβthe house I rented, the cloth is broken." Qi Min added, "I just remembered it." β
"Yo, you can live on your own, that's good." Mr. Qi Zhiguang teased his daughter with a smile.
Qi Min is really lazy at home, and she basically never cleans up her bedroom by herself, so she points to her parents when they clean the common area. Therefore, Mr. Qi Zhiguang always said that it was a "kennel-like" place. In fact, if Qi Min still sleeps in a bedroom by himself now, it is estimated that he will hardly clean up. But Anton couldn't stand the mess in the room where he sleptβthat is, whoever couldn't take it first would be cleaned up.
"The ground still has to be mound." Qi Min said unashamedly, but it wasn't her.
Qi Min went to the second floor of the supermarket to get a dun cloth, and then walked to see the biscuit candy area. She saw a variety of flavored lollipops on the shelves, and remembered that she had a favorite of Chi when she was a child, and now she could use it to trick Mimi, so she took a pack.
Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong looked at her with some surprise: "Lele, how old are you, and you still eat lollipops?" β
"Huh?" Qi Min realized that it seemed strange for her to buy a big bag of lollipops as a "single adult woman", so she had to forcibly say, "I'm addicted to eating this." β
"Eat less sugar." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong said with "disgust", "You are there alone, are you eating snacks?" β
"Nope." Qi Min immediately denied it.
"Then you just eat takeout every day, right?" Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong had a knowing expression.
"No, there's something delicious about takeout." Qi Min said, "I eat quite healthy, so I don't need you to worry about it." β
"Why don't we go to your place and clean up the house and cook for you." Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong continued, "Although this is a little tiring, it also ensures that my daughter will not live in the 'kennel'." β
Qi Min hurriedly refused: "Don't mind, it's good for me to live there by myself." I'm not a giant baby, I've graduated with a Ph.D., and I'll do those things myself. β
Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong glanced at her suspiciously, but since Qi Min was also a financially independent "real adult", she didn't say anything about her.
ββ
Faced with her parents' worries about her personal life, Qi Min easily coaxed Ms. Zhu Shaoqiong and Mr. Qi Zhiguang well. However, her mother mentioned Qin Zhenjun's sentence before, which made Qi Min a little angry.
ALTHOUGH QI MIN ALSO KNEW THAT HIS ATTITUDE OF PADDLING WHEN HE WAS AN UNDERGRAD WAS PROBLEMATIC, QIN ZHENJUN WAS SLAPPING HER IN THE FACE AT THAT TIME, WHICH WAS ALMOST EQUIVALENT TO POINTING AT HER NOSE AND SCOLDING LOSER, QI MIN WAS REALLY ANGRY AT THE THOUGHT OF IT.
She really inquired with Yan Zhaolan afterwards and asked her if she knew how Qin Zhenjun was doing now.
Yan Zhaolan's voice on the WeChat phone sounded a little joking: "Hey, why do you remember Qin Zhenjun again?" β
As a friend who is studying in the same undergraduate, Yan Zhaolan naturally knows about Qi Min and Qin Zhenjun. It's just that she doesn't know very well why these two broke up, and she can't understand Qi Min's behavior of deleting all Qin Zhenjun's contact information after the breakup. As far as Yan Zhaolan saw it, she felt that it was normal for Qi Min to overreact.
"Suddenly I remembered." Qi Min asked, "How is he?" Have you changed your major, or are you already a PI? β
"I don't know, I'll help you ask in the group of classmates." Yan Zhaolan added, "Don't worry, I will never expose you." β
Qi Min silently hoped in his heart that Dr. Qin Zhenjun would not be able to finish his job and be worse than her, but intellectually he knew that this was probably unlikely. Judging from Qin Zhenjun's GPA that she knew later, Qi Min also had to admit that he was really stronger than her, a waste wood paddling wood, by more than a star and a half. Therefore, Qi Min still felt that most of the news Yan Zhaolan heard was that Qin Zhenjun had become the so-called winner in life. In order to avoid being ridiculed, she can only pay attention to hiding a little in the future.
However, when Qi Min sat in front of the computer in the laboratory, facing Jupyter boredly flipping out WeChat, he saw a friend application, and the remark was: "Qin Zhenjun, come out for a meal?" β
