"You are really motivated to study this semester, especially after the National Day." The counselor is young, but his tone is very gratifying to an elder. "You will get something if you put in the effort. You will be ranked first in the department in the final exam. Keep working hard next semester. Next September, I can apply for several scholarships, and it’s not impossible to minor in a second major. But have you really thought about it carefully? Do you want to minor in landscape design? Don’t follow blindly! You must consider all aspects carefully!”
Xu Yin answered calmly; "Teacher Chen, I've thought about it carefully. It's precisely because I want to minor in landscape design that I work so hard to get full grades."
"Okay, now that you have thought it through, I will definitely support you. Come to me to get the application form when school starts."
"Okay, thank you, Teacher Chen."
After hanging up the phone, she saw that Qian Mingyue had sent her a long picture a few minutes ago. According to her, it was copied from the campus forum. It was a list of applications for majoring in landscape design and minoring in landscape design in the past year. The name and original major were mosaiced, but the sequence number was very clear. After scrolling down for a while, I saw the last line - serial number 99.
Qian Mingyue: [No surprise, you are the 100th. ]
"..."
[Dear, whether we can chase stars up close in our dormitory depends on you! come on! ]
Xu Yin: [? ]
Qian Mingyue: (Fly rubbing hands emoticon) [If your application is successful, we can accompany you to attend classes at the Environmental College! If you are lucky enough to meet He Shi, will you achieve your goal of chasing stars? Hehe (evil laugh)]
Zhao Wenyi and Chen Lu also sent messages one after another:
[Are you going to transfer to that college in Heshi? ]
[Are you going to be classmates with He Shi? Ahhhh! I envy you so much! It's a pity that my grades are not up to standard, otherwise I would be very excited. ]
Xu Yin: "..."
It's getting more and more outrageous.
She wanted to study another major, not change her major.
Even though they are in the same college, isn't he already a senior? She is only a sophomore, sisters!
When Dad Xu learned about her idea, he didn't have as much imagination as his roommate, but he insisted on celebrating her.
Even though he has never been to college, he knows that in a college where top students gather, it is more difficult to get first place than in high school.
My daughter didn’t even get first place in her class in high school, let alone first place in her grade. She didn’t expect that after entering college and working hard for a year and a half, she actually won first place in a department.
Doesn't being number one in the department mean that you are number one in your grade?
"Celebrate! Must celebrate!"
Father Xu was so happy that he rubbed his hands and was so excited that he immediately wanted to call his son and ask him to come home for dinner.
Xu Yin didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Dad, I've been very busy recently. Anyway, the Chinese New Year will be here in a few days, so let's celebrate during the Chinese New Year."
"Okay. I've been thinking about new dishes these days. What do you want to eat? Fish, shrimp, crab? Or beef and mutton?"
"Anything is fine."
Thinking about it, Father Xu was still very excited. He called his son that night and told him the good news. He also asked him when he would have a holiday and if he would go home to rest for the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Zhaoyu learned that his sister had ranked first in one department and wanted to minor in a second major. He couldn't help but think that she seemed to be short of money some time ago and didn't use the supplementary card given to her. Could it be that she wanted to earn a scholarship on her own?
After thinking about it, he transferred another amount of money to Xu Yin.
in addition--
"Xiao Cen."
"What's the matter, Brother Yu?"
"There are several invitations to the Spring Festival Gala. If there is no conflict, I will accept them all."
"ah?"
"Ah what, please contact me quickly!"
He wants to take on more jobs and make more money so that his sister won't have to work so hard.
He Shi heard that he had picked up the Spring Festival Gala of two satellite TV stations at the right time. He was puzzled. He called and asked, "Don't you want to go? Why did you change your mind temporarily?"
Coincidentally, Jiang Zhaoyu also came to see him about something: "I remember that you majored in landscape, and your father also taught landscape?"
"Well, what's the problem?"
"My sister is going to minor in this major next semester. Seeing as you don't go back to school very often and you still pass the exam, can you share some experience? Let her learn more easily. That song of yours... I'll give you a 50% discount. "
I originally wanted to say no money, because the family is short of money.
He Shi: "..."
Xu Yin didn't know it yet, but her stepbrother, who once thought she was short of money but was too embarrassed to mention it to her family, transferred money to her card again.
He also tried his best to take over jobs, but he gradually cured his depression.
Xu Yin is still giving advice to Father Xu’s small restaurant:
"Dad, I've thought about it. Isn't our yard quite big? There's nothing new about growing vegetables and flowers. Why not grow some spices?"
This was an idea that came to her when she was making marinade buns and sauces.
Beautifying the courtyard with flowers is beautiful, but look at the neighbors, not everyone is like this, it is too samey.
As for vegetables, planting a few vines for decoration is fine. If 150 square meters is used for growing vegetables, it will become a vegetable plot. No matter how reasonable the planning is, it will never be in line with "aesthetics".
After all, the main purpose of vegetables is to eat them. The maturity period is basically short, and they are easy to wither and age.
How to plan this courtyard to be both beautiful and innovative, so that it can help her receive more than 10,000 or even a million likes?
Xu Yin, who was braised duck feet and lemon chicken feet, looked at the more than 20 spices in her hand and suddenly had an idea.
Yes! Aren’t spices also plants?
Some spices are also quite charming in the plant stage, especially the flowering stage——
For example, the world's top precious spice - saffron, the fragrant "Queen of Spices" - vanilla, the ordinary but extraordinary "King of Spices" - basil...
Another example is the super-pretty stevia, the rosemary that is as purple as lavender during the flowering period, the grassroots and patchouli whose flowers are like beauties, and the peonies that share the same ancestor...
Another example is sandalwood, which is full of treasures and has beautiful and attractive fruits. Tree spices similar to sandalwood include nutmeg, star anise, and Sichuan peppercorns...
Both are flowers and fruits. The difference between spice plants and ordinary flowers is that the beauty of the former is more mysterious and charming.
Not to mention that green plant lovers like to plant perilla, mint, dangshen, nine-story pagoda on the balcony, which are usually used as ornamental plants and used as spices when needed...
With such a detailed list, there are so many beautiful and practical spices!
Coincidentally, she has these spice seeds in her system warehouse, and they are all selected from the best, and some have been improved for several generations; she also has spice planting experience.
But Xu’s father didn’t know. He thought she just wanted to grow some spices. He smiled and said, “Why do you need to grow spices? It’s so convenient to buy them now, and the wholesale market prices are not expensive. There’s no need to worry about these spices.” Go."
"I'm not busy. Aren't I going to major in landscape design? I just want to practice my skills with spices."
Father Xu wondered: "Does growing spices have something to do with the major you want to study? In that case, you can plant it if you want. The yard is quite big anyway, so you can plant whatever you want."
With Xu’s father’s support, Xu Yin re-planned the planting areas in the yard.
