The Red Era, the Opening University Speech

Chapter 20 Grandma is on high alert
On the way home, Li Mu was worried while looking at the information.

"It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly. Ask thought I wanted the information for industrial preparation." Li Mu sighed.

I got away with it this time, but what about next time?

There are only three days left. If Ask hasn't replied by then, we can't keep dragging it out.

We only have the plan for the industrial preparation of single crystal silicon, but we have to carry out laboratory preparation.

"It's difficult!"

Li Mu sighed.

"Write down the industrial preparation first as a backup plan." This is the only solution Li Mu can think of for now.

Both preparation methods are certainly the same in principle.

If you learn fast enough, you might be able to deduce a feasible solution to the latter from the former.

"But can I do it?" Li Mu was very skeptical.

Although he felt that his mind became much smarter after traveling through time, it was still too much for him to learn so much technical knowledge in such a short time.

When he was almost home, Li Mu was still struggling with how to make a plan.

Walk to the entrance of the alley and turn a corner to reach the No. 18 slum.

Li Mu was walking when suddenly a woman in a floral jacket came towards him.

"This is……"

Li Mu took a glance and found that the other person looked very familiar.

"Li Mu."

Realizing that Li Mu was looking at her, the woman raised her head, and her pair of peach blossom eyes looked over with a smile, recognizing Li Mu.

Li Mu finally reacted at this time. Isn't this Qin Huaiyu who came to borrow kerosene from Grandma Li last time?

"you are?"

"My last name is Qin. I saw you when I went to your house to borrow kerosene last time. You are Li Mu, the college student?" Qin Huaiyu looked at Li Mu curiously.

In her eyes, city people are already out of her reach, and college students are even more out of her reach.

The village chief of their village only has primary school education.

"Oh, it's Sister Qin. Are you going out?" Li Mu greeted her.

"Aren't we going to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy kerosene? We've been busy all day and only have some free time now. I hope it won't interfere with your studies?" Qin Huaiyu said.

"No delay, no delay. In fact, it's okay to return it later." Li Mu said with a smile.

"No, I promised Grandma Li that I would return it today. I'm leaving first. I have to go home and cook after buying it." Qin Huaiyu said this and left in a hurry.

Li Mu looked at Qin Huaixu's leaving back and sighed.

According to the plot of Siheyuan, Qin Huaiyu's husband Jia Xudong died due to a work mistake, Qin Huaiyu would become a widow, and then raise three children alone.

The key is that not only is it hard work, but you also have to deal with a wicked mother-in-law who often makes things difficult for you.

"Who am I to pity others? She is just having a hard time."

"If I were discovered, I wouldn't be able to survive."

Li Mu dispelled the sympathy in his heart.

Return to the compound.

I greeted Uncle Zhong at the gate and walked into the house. As soon as I entered the house, I found Grandma Li sitting on a chair.

Grandma Li lowered her eyes and looked unhappy.

"You're back. Come and sit next to grandma." Grandma Li invited Li Mu to sit next to him.

"Were you talking to the daughter-in-law of the Jia family in the alley just now?" Grandma Li asked as soon as Li Mu sat down.

"I saw Sister Qin secretly wiping her tears alone, so I asked her a few questions." Li Mu told the truth.

He had no feelings towards Qin Huaiyu, so there was no need to lie about such a thing.

She is a married woman, so even if Jia Xudong will die in the future, she is not dead yet.

Grandma Li's expression softened a lot, but she still taught:
"You are young, what does it have to do with you if someone wipes their tears? If you go up and ask a few questions, if someone sees you, they will gossip about you." "Xiao Mu, you are a college student, and you will be a leading cadre in the future, so you can't let people gossip about you."

"I know, I won't do it again." Li Mu did not argue. The more he smeared the matter, the worse it would be.

"That's good to know. Let's go and eat." Grandma Li nodded with satisfaction.

……

After Li Mu finished his meal, he returned to his room. He did not dare to rest for a moment and started working late into the night.

First, familiarize yourself with the basic principles and processes of industrial preparation, and then look up the laboratory preparation materials of this era.

While comparing, Li Mu looked for their similarities and differences.

As for Grandma Li, she walked out of the house with her hands behind her back, came to the next yard, said something to Uncle Yan at the door, and went in to find Qin Huaixu.

"Grandma Li, you're here. Please wait, I'll get you some kerosene."

When Qin Huaixu saw Grandma Li, he hurried back to the house to get kerosene.

"It's just a little kerosene. There's no rush to return it." Grandma Li took the kerosene and walked a few steps to the side.

Qin Huaixu was stunned for a moment, then realized that Grandma Li had something to say to him, so he followed her.

"Xiao Qin is so beautiful, does she have any unmarried sisters?" Grandma Li started.

"I have a younger sister who lives in the countryside and is not married yet. You..." Qin Huaiyu was not sure what Grandma Li meant and really thought she wanted to act as a matchmaker.

Grandma Li smiled and said, "It's good to be unmarried. I have a nephew in the countryside who is just the right age. You can take the lead in negotiating a reconciliation when you have time."

After finishing her words, Grandma Li changed the subject:
"But I'm not worried about my nephew. I'm still worried about my eldest grandson."

"He has been studying since he was a child. Even at his age, he blushes when talking to girls."

"It's also my fault that his uncle and I protected him too closely. We were afraid that he would be cheated by outsiders. I often told him that it would be good for him to find a good partner in college..."

Qin Huaiyu was a little confused at first, wondering why Grandma Li told her all this.

Only after hearing the latter part did I understand what Grandma Li meant.

She was angry and annoyed, but she couldn't show it.

"Grandma Li, your Li Mu is so outstanding. After searching for a long time, I'm afraid he will have to find a fairy to match him in the future." Qin Huaiyu couldn't help but said sarcastically.

She was born in the countryside, and saw the old women in the village quarreling and swearing at each other every day. Although they were not sharp-tongued, they could still be sarcastic.

She didn't dare to offend Grandma Jia only because of her status as a daughter-in-law.

Grandma Li was annoyed: "It's enough for my Xiao Mu to have a fairy! I'll take my time to find one! Anyway, I won't look for those indecent ones."

These words were clearly directed at Qin Huaixu.

"Don't worry, Grandma Li. I will never talk to Li Mu again."

Qin Huaixu was also unhappy, and the two parted unhappily.

The next day, Li Mu was awakened by a burst of scolding.

"Look at you. Da Jun is more ignorant than you. Eggs are so precious nowadays. It's ok to give them to the two children, but you eat them yourself..."

Li Mu studied until midnight yesterday and was now groggy. He wanted to sleep but couldn't because of the noise, so he simply got out of bed.

When we got out of the door, Grandma Li was scolding my aunt, and my aunt's face turned red and she kept apologizing.

The two younger sisters hid behind their aunt and dared not say a word.

His uncle stood aside with an embarrassed look on his face. He tried to speak several times but was glared back by Grandma Li.

"Did he get caught stealing eggs?"

After listening to a few words, Li Mu realized that his uncle had given the eggs to his aunt and two children to eat, which made Grandma Li angry.

It is not easy to have a stutter these days, let alone eggs. The last time Li Mu was sick, Grandma Li only took out two eggs.

In the past, eggs were strictly distributed at home. Li Mu was studying, his uncle was working, and the two children were still growing up and all needed eggs to supplement their bodies.

As for Grandma Li and his aunt, they couldn't eat it.
