Chapter 1061 Taking a Gamble
To be honest, in the past few years, Lin Mo and his four roommates were also quite abstract. Since they weren't from any top universities, they just drifted through their days, with games on their minds. But at the time, they never thought they were abstract, and they didn't even have the concept of abstraction.
It wasn't until last year, after the group went on internships, that Lin Mo met Miss Yuan and Zhang Wei, and only then did he begin to grasp the existence of the abstract.
Even now, the state of abstraction is deeply imprinted on this group of people. Even those who are not abstract at the beginning will be assimilated to some extent after spending a long time with them.
The most serious cases involve the class monitor and He Xiaoyue. After all, Miss Yuan was already quite abstract before, and now even Liu Ruyan can occasionally use abstract methods to flirt with him.
These days, Miss Yuan is even capable of electrofishing. Clearly, she's desperate. And to electrofish is one thing, but to claim she released ten kilowatt-hours of electricity is quite another. This is even more sinister than those old folks who release all sorts of aquatic creatures and venomous snakes while chanting Amitabha.
Finally, Lin Mo and the others forcibly confiscated Miss Yuan's new energy fishing rod, and the class monitor criticized Miss Yuan again before the matter was considered closed.
"Director Wang, tell Chuanzi to process all the footage you two shot today. Delete the scenes of Sister Yuan getting an electric shock and releasing the ten-degree electric shock, lest you accidentally post them online," Lin Mo instructed.
After all, both Chuanmei and Director Wang have a habit of taking photos at any time. Director Wang never leaves his camera, and even Chuanmei has an action camera hanging around her neck.
After all, I make a living through social media. You may not need the footage, but you can't be without it. Regardless of whether it's useful or not, just shoot it first. If it doesn't work, you can always clear some memory later.
Otherwise, if she accidentally posted it, Li Shiya's account would likely face trouble, and netizens would report her directly.
Fortunately, there wasn't anyone around, otherwise they would have slipped away long ago.
"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing. I'll go and let Chuanzi know in a bit; his action camera is always on," Director Wang said.
Lin Mo nodded: "Okay, then go ahead. While you're at it, call Chuanzi and Xiaoyue back. Come back for dinner when you've had your meal!"
"clear"
After saying that, Director Wang went to find Chuanmei and her companion. After all, the scenery here was quite beautiful, and the two of them were having a blast.
Soon, the two returned, and some footage from the Sichuan girl's action camera was deleted. Only then did everyone sit down and start the barbecue.
"Speaking of which, when will the apricots ripen? I want to eat some wild apricots," Miss Yuan muttered as she ate some skewers.
As for the fish that God rewarded her for releasing ten kilowatt-hours of electricity, Lin Mo didn't touch them; instead, she buried them somewhere.
After all, grilling this fish is really unnecessary. The taste is just so-so, and the size is not big. Besides, it's not like they didn't plan to eat it. Let's keep it and raise it when we get back. The fish is already swimming on its back, so taking it back would be a waste.
They even find it troublesome to roast it for Wangcai, since if Wangcai gets stuck in its throat, they might have to spend money to take it to the vet, and there's no need to take such a big risk!
After all, Wangcai is a cash cow to the class monitor and the others. They would rather suffer from diarrhea themselves than let Wangcai take any risks.
After all, when a human catches a cold and has diarrhea, it only costs around 100 to 200 yuan. But if a cat or dog catches a cold and has diarrhea, you never know how much it will cost. You could say that humans are treated worse than dogs!
"Mountain apricots? What's so good about them? They're all sour," Lin Mo said upon hearing this.
Not only that, just thinking about it made his mouth water; clearly, he was no stranger to the taste of the mountain apricot.
Miss Yuan rolled her eyes at him and said, "Can't I just try it? By the way, when will Xing'er come here?"
"It'll be in June, or July too, but you're talking about green apricots. They'll ripen when the apricot blossoms fall," the class monitor explained from the side.
Miss Yuan: "When will the apricot blossoms fall?"
Lin Mo: "It'll be over soon, by the end of the month at the latest. After all, the apricot blossoms only last about 20 days. What, Sister Yuan, have you been eating too much good food and want to give your tongue a little more stimulation?"
Although he grew up in the county town, he often went back to his hometown when he was a child, visiting both his maternal and paternal grandparents' homes. Naturally, he was quite familiar with these rural fruits.
Anyway, he doesn't like eating wild apricots, but he can eat those grafted special varieties, the larger cultivated apricots.
"That's alright. I'll wait another ten days or so, then I'll come back and pick some more to take home. My sister-in-law has been nagging me to eat sour things lately."
"We prepared all sorts of sour foods at home, but she said she just wanted to eat wild jujubes and wild apricots, so my parents had to go to other places to ask someone to buy them for her," Miss Yuan sighed.
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that it was Miss Yuan's sister-in-law who wanted to eat it. After all, it's not unusual for a pregnant woman to want to eat whatever she wants, and sour and spicy flavors are quite common.
Some women develop a craving for train meals after becoming pregnant. It's not that the food on trains is inauthentic; that would be truly outrageous.
"Sour for a boy, spicy for a girl, that's great! By the way, is your sister-in-law having a boy or a girl?" Lin Mo asked.
Although hospitals in China don't reveal the baby's gender in advance, with the influence of Miss Yuan's family, it's entirely possible, and Lin Mo has never doubted that.
“The boy has made my mom so happy lately. She’s been doting on my sister-in-law all day and hasn’t had time to pay attention to me. That’s perfect,” Miss Yuan said with a smile.
The thought of becoming a aunt made her somewhat happy. Although she disliked her brother, the child was innocent, and she loved bullying children.
She often bullied her cousin Jiang Feng's little girl, Qianqian, but since it was a little girl, she felt a little guilty. However, if it were a little boy, she wouldn't have any reservations. "Oh my~~ Sister Yuan, you're really good to your sister-in-law, even thinking of finding her something to eat," He Xiaoyue said with a smile.
In response, Miss Yuan waved her hand and said, "One thing at a time. My sister-in-law still has a lot of face with me. After all, she's the one who helped our Yuan family have more children. She's a great contributor, hehe!"
It must be said that Miss Yuan is very good at separating public and private matters.
Just as everyone was busy thinking that Miss Yuan was fair and impartial, had a strong sense of justice, and was radiating personal charm, Wangcai barked and rushed out.
And I don't know where it went to play; it was covered in mud, so it must have just gone into the river.
Upon seeing the group rushing towards them, everyone was startled and stood up in unison, shouting:
Holy crap!
"Wangcai, stop right there!"
"Don't come any closer!"
Nonsense, Wangcai is covered in mud right now, it wouldn't be pleasant for anyone to fall on him, so everyone backed away.
But two legs can't outrun four legs. Wangcai rushed over excitedly and then jumped straight into Miss Yuan's arms.
"Wangcai!! You're dead!!"
Three minutes later, Wangcai was rolled over and pinned to the ground by Miss Yuan. In that short time, it received several slaps. Yes, Miss Yuan was the one who slapped it.
Of course, Miss Yuan didn't fare any better; she was covered in mud, even her little face was covered in mud.
"You fucking dead dog, you fucking watch where you're from! Why are you picking on me? You fucking went into the water, and now you've gotten me all wet! You fucking dead dog, you bastard, you deserve to go to hell! I'm so angry I'm just...!"
It's obvious that Miss Yuan has lost her temper, directly using "Mom" as a comma. This can be described as kind-hearted, of questionable character, foul-mouthed, and a bodhisattva's heart.
To put it simply, in Miss Yuan's worldview, swearing makes one's heart pure.
This also shows that character and moral qualities have nothing to do with each other. Let's put it this way: a hundred years from now, if Miss Yuan dies, she herself will go to heaven, but her mouth will definitely go to hell.
"Alright, Sister Yuan, hurry up and eat. It's still early, so let's go for a walk. It's okay if your clothes get dirty," Lin Mo advised.
The next second, a dog's head flew over, and then Miss Yuan threw Wangcai into her arms.
Lin Mo:
Two minutes later, Wangcai was pinned to the ground again.
"Idiot Wangcai, I'm really @#￥￥%..."
Seeing Lin Mo cursing, Wangcai chuckled. Miss Yuan looked at the others and said, "See, don't advise others to be kind if you haven't experienced their suffering!"
The others nodded repeatedly, and then, taking advantage of the moment when Wangcai was being controlled by Lin Mo, they devoured the food on the barbecue grill in a whirlwind.
Lin Mo thought about throwing Wangcai back into the river to give it a bath, but then worried that it would run away and catch a cold, so he had to give up the idea.
After the meal, everyone played in the valley for a while and took a lot of photos. The scenery was indeed beautiful. The group even took a rare group photo, which can be regarded as a testament to their friendship.
Finally, everyone packed up and prepared to head back. He Xiaoyue wrapped Wangcai in a blanket and held him close, making sure the money tree wouldn't get cold.
Their hopes of buying houses and cars still rest on Wangcai, since the salary Chuanmei pays is hardly worth anything!
When Lin Mo arrived home that evening, Liu Ruyan had already returned.
"Hey, where have you been playing? You look so disheveled!"
As soon as he entered, Liu Ruyan saw his disheveled appearance and couldn't help but laugh.
Hearing this, Lin Mo said helplessly while taking off his clothes, "Don't even mention it, I went on a picnic with Sister Yuan and got rubbed by Wangcai! How are you? Does your stomach still hurt?"
Hearing this, Liu Ruyan sighed and pretended to be nearing her end, saying, "Alas, little brother, I'm afraid I can't make it. How about we break up? I don't want to hold you back!"
Lin Mo: →_→
"Oh? New plot twist? Tell me, what's going on this time? You know my character, I'll save you even if it means going bankrupt! Have you gone to the hospital? What did the doctor say?"
Liu Ruyan: "Sigh, the doctor said that with conservative treatment, I can live for another fifty or sixty years, but the success rate of surgery is less than 0.1%!"
Hearing this, Lin Mo's lips curled up slightly. He first sighed, then suppressed a laugh and said, "Why don't we take a gamble? I'll sell the house, and we'll give it a shot. What if we succeed? You agree!"
What the hell is this about conservative treatment allowing someone to live for another fifty or sixty years? She really dares to dream. If Emperor Ruyan could live another sixty years, she'd be approaching ninety. That's why she's not at a disadvantage at all!
If they can live for another fifty or sixty years, wouldn't that be considered dying of old age?
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh, and then rushed towards him: "I knew you little brat had no good intentions!"
