The little dumpling is five and a half years old, which made his father so angry that his head split

Since there was something important to do tomorrow, Li Tian quickly handed over her work.

The earth will keep turning no matter who leaves; it's not like she's indispensable.

But she had to finish what she was doing.

During dinner that evening, Li Tian told Li Muchen about Xiao Hong.

Li Muchen and Xiao Hong haven't had much time alone together. Although they used to hang out often, they weren't close friends.

On the contrary, Shen Yi was the closest to Xiao Hong.

"Can Shen Yi and I go together?"

Li Tian knew that this was because her brother was worried about her.

With more people around to talk to, Li Tian would feel more comfortable receiving Xiao Hong.

"Sure, bring your student ID. Does Shen Yi have time?"

Shen Yi has already completed two years of preparatory studies at Peking University, and he will not be studying there when the semester starts again.

Li Muchen felt that Shen Yi knew it was about Li Tian, ​​and even if he didn't have time, he could still squeeze out some time for it.

And then Xiao Hong arrived.

He definitely wants to see him too.

"Let me ask first, I think I can free up some time."

Li Muchen took over, and Li Tian had no worries.

After announcing the time and place for tomorrow's meeting, Li Tian left first.

Because there are many students staying on campus this summer, the school has specially preserved the library and opened a teaching building.

With no immediate study assignments, Li Tian went to the library to read.

That's how learning works; the more you learn, the more you realize how much you don't know.

Even if you pick up a book unrelated to your major, as long as you can get into it, you'll gain some insights.

Reading ten thousand books and traveling ten thousand miles are both ways to continuously improve one's understanding.

Strengthening this understanding serves two purposes: first, to have the ability to live a better life, and second, to gain a deeper understanding of oneself.

The better you understand yourself, the less you will be affected by external forces.

Without being affected by external forces, there will be less confusion and worry.

Do what you want to do, strive for what you want, stay true to yourself, and find joy in life.

When fate brings us together, let it be; when fate separates us, let it go.

Li Tian read until nine o'clock, then took a walk in the quiet campus, accompanied by a gentle night breeze.

After a busy day, both body and mind need to relax appropriately.

Hearing the cicadas chirping, Li Tian suddenly became interested and found a cicada nymph under the tree with a flashlight.

It hasn't molted yet; it's the kind that's just been unearthed.

When I was little, my grandfather told me that this stuff was delicious and nutritious.

They go to the woods to catch them every summer.

But even after soaking and boiling it as Grandpa suggested, it didn't taste good.

Later, Aunt Zhang tried frying the cicada nymphs that had been soaked in salt water. They were especially fragrant when they were fried until golden brown and crispy.

Since Li Tian was at school, she naturally couldn't go deep-frying.

We only caught one for fun.

Since she didn't intend to eat them, Li Tian brought the cicada nymphs back to her dormitory unharmed.

Only Liu Xiang remained in the dormitory; everyone else had gone home.

Liu Xiang didn't go back, just to save the cost of two train tickets.

Her brother has already found a wife and they will get married at the end of the year.

This is yet another considerable expense.

After returning to her dormitory, Li Tian put the cicada nymphs into a shoebox.

In order to observe it and to prevent it from suffocating, a small skylight was opened.

Liu Xiang just smiled and looked at the childlike Li Tian.

A fifteen-year-old should be carefree.

But this older girl usually bears more pressure than they do, which they, as her roommates, have witnessed firsthand.

Now that she's being playful, Li Tian seems more authentic.

Liu Xiang went out in a hurry and returned quickly.

"Li Tian, ​​put this branch in. When Zen molts, it needs to hold onto the branch and exert force. It's a rather difficult molting process."

"Moreover, no external force can help."

"When I was a child, I touched a cicada's unfurled wings, trying to help it stretch them out. As a result, that half of its wings was completely ruined, and it couldn't fly, so it couldn't live."

Li Tian smiled and put the branch into the shoebox.

She wrote an observation diary when she was in junior high school.

It seems that the molting was unsuccessful that time, and the observation diary ended in failure.

This was just a passing interest; Li Tian didn't have the energy to keep observing how cicadas molt.

After washing up and taking a shower in the bathroom, I went back to the stuffy mosquito net.

Fanning myself with a fan, I fell asleep without even realizing it.

Li Tian's biological clock woke her up on time.

Li Tian had just changed her clothes and was about to go out when she suddenly remembered the cicada nymphs in the shoebox.

If the molting goes smoothly, it should be called a cicada now.

Li Tian first opened the observation hole and immediately saw a black cicada body with two transparent, shiny wings. It looked like it could take flight as soon as she opened the box.

But Li Tian didn't open the lid immediately; instead, she placed the box on the windowsill outside the window.

The lid was opened, and the cicadas were free.

After trying to fly several times, it finally soared into the sky and disappeared without a trace.

Li Tian smiled as she went downstairs.

I ran until I felt refreshed before returning to my dorm.

She changed into a light blue knee-length dress, slung a small black backpack over her shoulder, and went out.

Today's aid operation is quite high-level; they sent a van to pick them up.

At 7:30, everyone arrived at the school gate on time.

Li Muchen stood to Li Tian's left, while Shen Yi silently took over the position to Li Tian's right.

Sparrows wouldn't openly compete for positions; that would only make them a laughingstock.

But after he opened the car door, he let the three girls get in first.

Li Muchen and the others could only go to the back row.

Sparrow sat in the passenger seat.

Fair and reasonable.

After getting off the bus, Sparrow collected everyone's documents and went to complete the formalities.

When he returned, he gave everyone an ID tag to hang around their necks.

"Students, please follow the instructions of the staff. We are only playing a supporting role. If you have any problems, please report them to the staff next to you, and they will handle them."

"This is a valuable opportunity for practical work experience. The student council will record everyone's performance for future reference when assigning tasks."

We can't offer any tangible benefits right now, but we need to give everyone something to look forward to.

This is also to make everyone understand how serious it is.

Every action has a cause and effect.

If you tarnish the country's reputation, do you think you'll get away with anything good?

If you put in the effort and demonstrate your ability, you will find better employers willing to hire you in the future.

This isn't just empty talk; it's a real and tangible truth.

When abilities are roughly equal, work attitude becomes the key factor in evaluation.

Sure enough, after hearing what Sparrow said, everyone's expressions became more serious.

We're all smart people, so there's no need for them to be more blunt.

Sparrow led the way inside.

After being handed over to the relevant staff, they were taken to different places.

Li Tian explained that Li Muchen and Shen Yi had come to see Xiao Hong.

Sparrow is happy to see several people appear together.

It's better than letting Li Tian and Xiao Hong be alone together.

"They'll stay with you. The foreign guests haven't arrived yet, but they should be here soon. A special car will pick them up."

After saying that, Sparrow went to attend to her own business.

Li Tian and the others were not assigned specific tasks, but were instead temporarily taken to a small office to wait.
