After returning home and having dinner, Lin Yan began to immerse himself in copying books.
You still have to do what you promised Huang Ying.
Although Huang Ying was the only one working in the direction of medicine, Lin Yan could do nothing but provide her with some useful information from her predecessors, hoping that she could use it.
The charcoal refill pen made of woolen wood was very easy to use. She copied two more pieces of paper that night.
I was writing furiously and was very satisfied with tonight's progress when a voice suddenly said: "What time is it already and I still haven't slept yet."
Lin Yan was startled. When he turned around, he saw Huahong standing at the door. "Auntie, if you suddenly make a sound, it will scare people to death." She was too engrossed in copying that she didn't notice it.
Starting from January this year, wooden doors were installed in the house, and Lin Yan and Hua Hong slept in separate rooms, one in the east and one in the west.
The door was open tonight, and Hua Hong suddenly appeared, which startled her.
"Go to bed quickly and write tomorrow." Huahong urged, "It's already very late. It's impossible not to sleep."
"I know, I know, go to bed right away. Mom, please go back quickly."
After filling up a piece of paper, Lin Yan stopped and saw that it was half past twenty-two, which was indeed very late.
I usually go to bed at 20 o'clock, how could I delay it until this time? No wonder the bonus came to urge me.
After a good night's sleep, Lin Yan got up, had dinner, and went to the laboratory with a dozen copied papers. I met an oriole in the yard.
Huang Ying took the paper excitedly and said, "Thank you for your hard work."
"Fortunately, the paper is gone. I'll give you these for now. You study slowly. When I have the paper, I will copy the book for you."
Huang Ying blinked when she heard the book was copied, but she didn't ask any more questions. She had always known that Lin Yan had a secret that was difficult to reveal. She just pretended not to hear.
"Thank you. If there's anything I can do, just ask. I promise to do it well."
Lin Yan smiled and said, "I just said yesterday that we have a common purpose. We all have different directions, but in the end we all want to develop better. We should help each other. Don't worry, I will definitely find you wherever you need me. your."
Huang Ying smiled, hesitated, and said softly: "Do you think I can really do it?"
"Of course." Lin Yan had no doubt about her talent. "You have talent and perseverance. Medicine develops slowly, which is inevitable. I believe time will confirm all this. You are the first doctor in Sun City. , concentrate on studying medicine, and do it with confidence, I will be your backing, if you have any difficulties, remember to come to me, I will do my best to help you."
Lin Yan thought for a while and then said, "Don't be discouraged. Your research direction is different. Many people have benefited from it now. People in the city come to you for treatment when they are injured. You have done a good job."
Huang Ying has been working quietly, and Lin Yan heard people mention her as if she had become a doctor in Sun City. If there is any illness or injury, Huang Ying will be thought of immediately. This is already a kind of affirmation.
Seeing Huang Ying take the paper and leave with it cherished, and flipping through it as she walked, Lin Yan smiled. What she said was from the bottom of her heart.
It's not that she didn't expect to do this herself, but it turned out that she was really not suitable for this path. Farming is much easier than medical research.
Who could have imagined that one day she would be working in the fields with sweat. Lin Yan looked back on the work he had done over the past year and found that he had gained a lot.
The body has been exercised and the wheat has been planted. I am just waiting for the golden waves of wheat to roll next year and enjoy the fruits of the harvest.
As soon as he turned around, he saw Shi Zhi behind him, "What are you doing standing here?"
"Didn't I come out just in time? I saw you talking to Huang Ying, so I didn't come over. What kind of treasure did you give Huang Ying? She looked surprised, as if she was holding a treasure."
"It's not just a treasure. It took me many nights to get it out. It took so much effort. My hands were tired and sore just to have those few pages of precious paper."
"What?" Shi Zhi became even more curious.
"Huang Ying will definitely need the basic pharmacology book. Didn't I promise to give it to her? It's easier said than done."
Lin Yan was a little worried. Less than 1% of such a thick book had been copied. When would it be possible to finish it all? Just thinking about it makes my head ache.
She wanted to delete part of it, but she couldn't seem to do it. After deleting it, it was very obscure and difficult to understand. It was digging a hole for Huang Ying.
"I'll help you do it." Shi Zhi was very interested in books. Copying books would also help him practice calligraphy, so he was happy to do it.
Lin Yan looked at him with difficulty, "Do you think if I could find someone to do it for me, I wouldn't have to stay up all night and write as fast as I could?"
She is not stupid, so much labor is not needed, so she has to work herself to death. If someone had done it for her, why would she have done this?
"Pretend I didn't say it. The mill is ready, and part of the millstone has been done before. I have a lot of things to do, so I'll go and do it first."
Looking at Shi Zhi walking away quickly, Lin Yan shrugged and went to his room.
It's been a long time since she worked hard here. The room was a mess, so she cleaned it first.
After clearing his thoughts, Lin Yan decided to go and do it with Bai Chen.
There is no reason why you could make good quality yellow paper and then not be able to do it anymore. She originally thought that after she finished planting the wheat, she wouldn't have to worry about using paper, and it happened to be a good time for everyone to compile books together during the cold season.
It would be best to get a simple version of printing to save the need for manual copying. Now that paper cannot be made, everything is just a fantasy.
Lin Yan got up and prepared to go to the papermaking workshop.
As soon as he came out of the gate, he met Lao Hei. Lin Yan smiled and said, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for you. You're a very busy person, so it's not easy to meet you. I was lucky enough to bump into you today."
Lao Hei looked at Lin Yan and said, "He looks more energetic. There are no white people in the field this year."
"That's right. What do you want from me?"
Lao Hei smiled mysteriously and said, "I'll take you to see something."
Lin Yan immediately became energetic and searched for Lao Hei. He must have found something good. "Come on, tell me what it is and what it looks like."
Lao Hei said: "I don't know what it is. I found it in the soil where I was making bricks. It looked like a stone, but I compared it carefully and confirmed that it is not a stone. That's why I asked you to take a look."
"Buried in the soil?"
"Yes, it's mixed in the soil. The soil for making bricks was all dug out in that area. I didn't pay attention to it at first, but then I dug out a few more pieces. More and more have been dug out in the past few days, so I asked you to take a look. If it’s useless, there’s no need to leave it alone.”
The kiln factory was built in the south, about two miles away from the smelting factory. The area was no longer what it used to be.
The construction of Sun City requires a large amount of bricks and tiles, and the pottery needed daily is excavated and fired from here. The annual consumption is staggering.
In just three years, a huge pit has been dug, and the ground has sunk several meters deep.
When Lin Yan saw the things that were bigger than his head, they were all round and covered with mud, and their true colors could not be seen.
She asked: "Does this look like this even after it's been washed?"
Lao Hei nodded, "It's almost the same. It's khaki in color and slippery to the touch."
