Receiving the candied haws from Candy, XiangâEr hesitated for a moment before softly saying:
"Candy, Grandma said to leave some maltose for Xiaochun to try."
"Woo woo~ Okay."
Even though children like Candy are smart, their world is still the same.
In their eyes, Grandma just wants their brother to taste the maltose too.
In the classroom, watching their classmates eagerly looking at them, Candy and XiangâEr knowingly stuffed the goodies into their backpacks.
In the lab, Mo Jingchun wrote a procurement list and emailed it to the purchasing department.
Mo Jingchun estimated that with so many things and professional equipment, even at Candy Technologyâs purchasing speed, it would be the fastest tomorrow before everything could be procured.
There was no way around it. Itâs not that the purchasing department isnât capable; itâs just that in this small town, 90% of the items on his list canât be bought.
The purchasing department manager received the email and immediately printed out the procurement list.
"Urgent procurement list, Iâve marked who will procure each item."
The manager said while handling the procurement list:
"Everyone, pay attention. This procurement list was just emailed to me personally by the boss."
Li, who received the procurement list from the boss, saw that she was responsible for only one item. Before she could be happy, she was dumbfounded.
EEG machine???
Could it be the kind from the hospital?
Fortunately, the specific model was marked; otherwise, she wouldnât know where to start.
Alone in the lab, Mo Jingchun felt quite bored looking at the dull and tedious code.
Currently, employeesâ development skills have improved, and errors have become rare.
To improve further, it depends on whether employees are willing to study in-depth on their own.
Mo Jingchun stretched and closed the Deep Space 2.1.05 editor.
Ding dong~
The sound of a WeChat message notification came from the phone on the computer desk.
Mo Jingchun picked up the phone to see that it was his rarely seen sister, Zhou Yaling, who actually sent him a message.
"Here, anything you need?"
This guy, Mo Jingchun understands thoroughly, doesnât bother unless necessary.
"Is Candy there? I miss her."
"If sheâs beside you, start a video call."
Look at that, not even a thought for her brother.
"What day is it today?"
"Itâs Tuesday, why?"
Mo Jingchun rolled his eyes and quickly typed:
"You know itâs Tuesday. Where do you think Candy is at this hour?"
Ding dong~
"He~ tui~ never mind, letâs video call tonight."
Ha! Mo Jingchun chuckled coldly. Canât deal with you?
Mo Jingchun used his speed honed by being single for twenty years to reply.
"Look at that, just a few more words from your brother, and this is how the sister behaves. Alright, it was my fault for talking too much!"
But after waiting for quite a while, Mo Jingchun didnât receive a reply from Zhou Yaling.
Would Mo Jingchun stop here? Obviously not!
"Brother canât make it through the day, just waiting for a sisterâs message is vexing!"
More than ten minutes later, Zhou Yaling replied.
Zhou Yaling: ???
"I just went to fetch a bottle of hot water and didnât take my phone. Is that necessary?"
Mo Jingchun was just bored and teasing her.
Mo Jingchunâs mouth curled up slightly as he replied:
"If sister has such an attitude, itâs better not to bother brother, making me seem unreasonable!"
"Canât you be normal? I feel goosebumps all over."
"So clingy, Iâm scared of you."
......
In the afternoon, Mo Jingchun was quietly reading a book in the office.
"Principles of Neural Science (Fifth Edition)"
As a classic textbook in neuroscience, this book comprehensively covers the fields at all levels of study.
From the molecular biology basis of neurons, synaptic transmission principles, basic perceptual and motor functions, to advanced memory, thinking, language, and cognitive functions, and even to the macro aspects of the evolution and development of the nervous system.
This book offers rich and cutting-edge knowledge from multiple perspectives for all who are interested in this subject and in human brain functions.
The whole book is in English, yet it does not affect Mo Jingchunâs reading at all.
With the neural connection technology knowledge in his mind, whenever an interesting issue arises, he delves deeper into it.
"Brother, Guoguo is back from school."
"Back already?"
The little one threw her backpack on the sofa and walked over to Mo Jingchun with a white plastic bag in hand.
"Brother, Grandma XiangâEr sent this to you through Guoguo."
Looking down from his book, Mo Jingchun was slightly surprised:
"Maltose?"
This season, how come thereâs maltose? Mo Jingchun remembers maltose is usually made when the weather turns cold, isnât it?
Could he have remembered wrong?
"XiangâEr said her grandma made it herself."
"It tastes so good."
Seeing the cornflour still on the corner of his sisterâs mouth, Mo Jingchun couldnât help but laugh.
The little one sure had quite a lot, hasnât even wiped her mouth clean.
Mo Jingchun took a piece and tasted it. It was really good.
"Give some to Xia to try."
"Oh~"
Xia Xiaomin pinched the cheeks of the little one staring at her, smiling as she took a piece.
Just when Candy was delighted that the rest was hers, a big hand descended from above, taking the whole bag.
Candy was stunned.
"You canât have too much candy in a day, itâll cause cavities."
With that, Mo Jingchun unceremoniously stuffed the maltose into his desk drawer.
The little one walked over, leaned on Mo Jingchunâs leg, and said pitifully:
"Brother, brother, Guoguo hasnât eaten yet."
With those eyes, if Mo Jingchun hadnât already found the cornflour on the corner of Candyâs mouth, he would have believed her.
"Really didnât eat?"
Eye-contact made the little one a bit guilty.
"Hmph, stupid Zero, tattletale." Candy muttered to herself, it must have been Zero who tattled, otherwise, how would her brother know she already had some?
She had ten pieces.
Seeing the little one losing confidence, Mo Jingchun handed the phone over.
"Your sister Yaling misses you, make a video call over."
"Not sure if sheâs done with class by now."
"Really?!"
The little one excitedly ran to the sofa, lying down, and skillfully opened WeChat to dial Zhou Yalingâs video call.
In less than three seconds, the video connected.
"Haha, is it Candy? Do you miss sister?"
Candy nodded vigorously, "Yes."
"When will sister come back?"
"Probably not until winter break."
