Chapter 372: Famous Figures Every College Student Should Know

Saturday, the long-awaited weekly holiday finally arrived.

Younger schoolchildren were busy watching TV.

Middle and high school students were busy going out shopping with friends.

Meanwhile, most university students were still sleeping.

At dawn, when it was just getting light, the temperature in the mountains was still very low.

In the faint light, two small figures were fumbling towards the vegetable field with something in their hands.

Soon, the sound of digging could be heard from the vegetable field.

The older sister was digging a hole in the front, while the younger sister carefully dropped the seeds into the pit behind her.

These seeds were precious; they were brought back by their uncle from the county town.

Although their uncle didn’t ask for money, the older sister still gave him money.

The older sister said one should not forget their roots.

Although Sha Hong didn’t know what that meant, she understood that she couldn’t just take others’ things casually.

Every time she placed a seed, Sha Hong would bend down.

That way, the seeds wouldn’t fall outside the pit.

In front, Amu’s small body was full of strength.

In fact, it wasn’t just Amu and Sha Hong who got up early to plant vegetables.

After the sun came out, Amu sat resting by the vegetable field, watching the adults clearing more land with envy.

"Sister, should we also clear some land?"

Amu shook her head and said,

"No, I still have to go to school, and I can’t clear the land."

There were so many stones in the wasteland, she couldn’t possibly move them all by herself.

Sitting beside her, naive Sha Hong thought her sister simply didn’t have time, and she said happily,

"Sister, I have time."

Amu chuckled, but felt a bit sad.

"It’s okay, our vegetable field can support the both of us, and in a while, you’ll have to go to school too."

"Studying is our way out!"

"Sis, I’m hungry."

Amu clapped her hands, picked up the tools, and said, "You wait here for a while, I’ll cover the soil and then go back to eat."

The honest and hardworking villagers seemed to have moved the heavens; it rained in the afternoon.

In the office, Li Xuanyu was absentmindedly picking at her fingers.

Every Monday morning, she’s called to Mo Jingchun’s office, not for anything else, just to check her thesis.

Over time, her colleagues realized she frequently went to the top floor, a place few people could access.

When Nan speculated that the boss was actually Li Xuanyu’s advisor, she was stunned.

Weren’t the boss and Li Xuanyu supposed to be just classmates?

How did the situation suddenly change to an advisor-student relationship?

No matter what the relationship, everyone treated Li Xuanyu more politely.

That’s human nature.

"Your thesis has many parts that don’t read smoothly, haven’t you noticed?"

Mo Jingchun looked up at Li Xuanyu, took a deep breath, and said,

"If not, you could at least read it out loud to see if it flows."

Li Xuanyu looked aggrieved, "I want it to be smooth, but if it is, the plagiarism rate shoots up."

"The moment I checked for plagiarism, even the thesis title turned red."

Mo Jingchun’s mouth twitched; he was all too familiar with the issue of plagiarism checking for undergraduate theses.

It was all thanks to a certain formidable expert.

Luckily, his thesis was based on graduate thesis standards back then.

Otherwise, he would’ve faced the same ordeal.

He sighed lightly and said, "If the plagiarism rate is too high, insert the codes as images into the document."

"If you can use images, don’t use text or characters."

Looking at the acknowledgments at the end of the thesis, Mo Jingchun felt quite satisfied.

"There are also issues with your citations; see, when I click, it doesn’t automatically jump to the references at the end."

"You haven’t set it up properly."

"And don’t leave spaces in the references."

With a pout, Li Xuanyu nodded weakly.

She had tried to delete those spaces, but with no success.

In the blink of an eye, the spaces disappeared.

Li Xuanyu rubbed her eyes incredulously and asked,

"How did you delete them?"

Mo Jingchun looked at her silently and said resentfully,

"So, it’s not that you didn’t try to delete them, you just didn’t know how, right?"

"Hehe," Li Xuanyu chuckled awkwardly.

"Well, if all else fails, you could Google it, couldn’t you?"

"Online, apart from medical advice being unreliable, there are plenty of useful little tips."

"Use the find-and-replace function to delete all the spaces in the thesis instantly, right?"

"Okay, I’ve marked the places for you, revise it and show it to me again next week."

Handing back the computer to Li Xuanyu, Mo Jingchun seriously said,

"Let’s aim to finalize it by next week."

"I’ll do my best."

After Li Xuanyu left with her computer, Mo Jingchun stood up, planning to get a glass of water.

Just as he lifted his foot, Little Grey, who was sleeping at his feet, rolled off.

Little Grey looked around confused, having just been woken.

What just happened?

"Woof woof woof～"

With a cup in hand, Mo Jingchun watched Little Grey pacing anxiously at the door, and said,

"Zero, press the elevator button for Little Grey."

"Got it, boss."

"Next time Little Grey is wandering there, just open the elevator door."

"Understood, boss."

As the elevator door opened, Little Grey darted in.

"Meow～" Master Cat on the osmanthus tree glared angrily at the little thing that relieved itself beneath the tree.

Did it not know this was Master Cat’s usual resting spot?

Annoyed, Bun jumped down and gave it a series of rapid slaps.

Confused and wobbly, Little Grey ran away.

In the kindergarten, the teachers were helping hang up streamers.

The competition was tomorrow, and the little stage had already been set up.

Xiang’Er was grabbing balloons, while Candy was fervently pumping air into them.

"Okay, okay, Candy, if you pump any more, it’s going to burst."

Worriedly, Xiang’Er watched the balloon growing larger, afraid it might burst any second.

Fortunately, Candy listened to the advice and stopped in time.

After Xiang’Er handed the balloon over to the teacher, the two little ones teamed up to pump more balloons.

"Candy, the teacher said not to inflate them too big."

"Got it~"

Candy grinned and pumped hard.

Balloons look better when they’re big.

With a pop, the two little ones were startled.

"Candy, let me pump the air while you hold the balloon."

"It’s so scary."

Candy patted her little chest, swallowed, and quickly handed the pump to Xiang’Er.

Oh my, it really exploded.

"Hey, Candy, look at the entrance."

Prompted by Xiang’Er, Candy looked toward the kindergarten gate, her eyes lighting up instantly.

"Ah! It’s Little Grey."

Running to the gate, Candy reached out to pet Little Grey, the little thing licking Candy’s hand, making Candy giggle with delight.

Unfortunately, Little Grey couldn’t come in.

To prevent Little Grey from entering, there was now an extra fence at the gate.

This was already the second upgrade to the kindergarten gate because of Candy.

Congratulations, who knows when the next time will be?
