Chapter 20 Jill

What does brother Ludi mean? Jill had mixed feelings this day.Lu Di's behavior was very strange, she secretly thought, like a hint, also like a confession, but in some places it didn't feel like it.There is nothing more complicated than this, she thought.She wanted to trust her intuition, but she was afraid that she was too emotional and made a big deal out of a molehill. Most people don't know that I am actually a pessimistic person.She was talking to herself.Obviously looking forward to happiness, but happiness is a little closer, and I can't believe it. She reorganized the thoughts in her head.

There was no sign of things happening.Lu Di came over just like that and asked her to visit the laboratory with him the next day, and Jill felt panicked.He came to tell her in front of everyone, just like it was written in the book.She was sitting by the flower bed with her friends, and he and his friends came out of a tunnel car, saw her, came over, whispered hello to her friends, walked up to her, and asked her if she would like the next day Go to the workshop of the new water conservancy scheme together.His smile was bright, his manner was polite, and his tone was unquestionable. She couldn't believe her ears for a long time.

Jill didn't know if she had blushed at the time, but now she just felt her cheeks were slightly hot.Even though she was in her own room, she still covered her face with her hands and bit her lips lightly to keep the smile from spreading. ...Since it's an invitation, even if it's not a confession, at least it's an expression of goodwill.As for why he didn’t go to the concert hall but to the laboratory, maybe it’s for me to understand his work... But when I asked him what to wear tomorrow, why did his eyes look so far away, and he would look at Lily next to him from time to time Well... Could Brother Lu Di like Lily, that's why he told me that he deliberately angered her... Probably not, Brother Lu Di is not such a person... But when I looked at him, he really looked like It's a bit embarrassing... I've never heard that brother Lu Di likes anyone.

Jill felt a little heartbroken and sighed long. What can I do, she thought, who made me so sensitive that I can notice so many details that others can't.She sighed softly, looking at herself in the full-length mirror.She saw that the girl in the mirror was very sad, and there was an unknown melancholy on Yuanyuan's face. Jier played with Luo Ying since she was a child, got acquainted with Lu Di, was taken care of by him, and knew his various habits.She often felt that the seeds were planted at that time. Although Luo Ying left and saw that he was gone, the seeds did not germinate and grow quickly, but they had been gestating and buried in her heart and growing slowly.The dream in my heart is like a mysterious garden. I always believe that there will be a person who will come one day and illuminate my life.

At the age of sixteen, she waited for that moment.She had seen Ludy dance at the community ball, a rite of passage for all twenty-year-olds.Lu Di was in the center of the crowd, attracting everyone's attention, with a domineering smile, proud eyes, and half-open shirt, full of strength in the rhythm.From then on, she fell into a long and persistent obsession, laughing for him, worrying about him, and modifying herself for him, willingly. Jill always wants to know what kind of girl Lu Di likes, the girl who is demure and quiet, or the girl who is lively and beautiful.She showed Lu Di her paintings, her designs, and if Lu Di showed a little approval, she would be full of happiness, quick-witted, and sharp-minded.He liked the skirt she made for Luo Ying last time, so she designed dance skirts and dresses from then on.

She knew that Lu Di was excellent, so she hoped that she could be equally good.She is just a novice in design and has no reputation yet. Her creative citations and ready-to-wear clicks are only at the elementary level, so she is anxious and working hard.Clothing design is different from most other industries. This is a highly competitive market similar to catering. Unlike the production of a certain steel film or precision detectors, which rely on engineering to compete for budgets, clothes are clothes, and the fight is for clicks. The number of clicks is real. Whoever designs the customers choose will be produced. The output is the popularity.Jill's grades are very average, and she is often discouraged by this. Sometimes she feels that she is too ordinary to be outstanding, and she is not worthy of brother Ludi anyway.She spent a lot of effort, and the designs on the Internet are always updated most frequently.

Jill often wondered why Ludy hadn't had a crush on a particular girl.She guessed that his standards were high, or that he put his career first, or that he had special thoughts hidden in his heart, or maybe he was just not as flamboyant as ordinary boys, relatively reserved, and not good at expressing emotions.No matter what the situation is, it is a different kind of attraction for Jill.Jill felt that he must have paid special attention to feelings, so he was single for so many years. ※※※ Jill didn't have time to think about it.Today is the day to test the waters of the valley model, and Jill is an active volunteer to participate in collective service.She was already very interested in this, but this time, she was full of excitement, and her fighting spirit was even higher. With the happy anticipation of the next day's date, she went out humming a song, her feet jumping happily.She saw the sun shining everywhere, and the flowers blooming in full bloom.

The water test was set on the Cotai Strip in front of the History Museum. Jill thought about the name as she walked, thinking it was really auspicious, and it seemed to directly herald good luck for the next day.When she arrived, there were already a lot of people, everyone was wearing a white vest with cartoon pictures, and they were busy setting up the venue. "Hi, Warren!" Jill greeted a familiar classmate with a smile. "Jill." The boy was carrying the box, tilting his head and beckoning to her. "What are you doing?" "It's a waterwheel model. It'll be around in a while."

"What can I do?" The boy pouted in the direction of the History Museum, and said, "Over there, Mr. Hawley is assigning assignments. Go quickly, and you will have nothing to do if you are later." Jill hurriedly ran towards the direction the boy was pointing at. A large circle of people lined up on the steps outside the front hall of the main entrance of the History Museum. Mr. Hawley in the center was holding an electronic notebook and yelling loudly. , announcing the jobs currently needed and the number of people needed for each job.There are many people underneath but not chaotic. Every time such a large-scale temporary event is assigned temporary duties on the spot, they are already familiar with the road. Every time Mr. Hawley called out a task name, a group of volunteers took the initiative to report their names. A slightly older researcher came over and led them to the mission location.Jill huddled behind the crowd and anxiously followed the line, for fear that the task would be over.

In the center of the Cotai Strip, a rather spectacular simulated valley has been built. The circular sunken square where the sculptures of senior generals were lined up is made of sandstone rock and soil. The sloped basin is covered with mountains. The honeycomb-like cave is realistic and magnificent both in shape and surface. The earthy yellow slope reflects the sunlight, which is not dazzling but magnificent.From the top to the bottom of the valley, a long and winding river channel was built along the ridge, with branches and forks along the way, passing through a number of cave houses built on the mountain, and then flowing into the bottom of the valley.In the middle of the valley, there is a huge light ball hanging, like a sun that has not yet been lit.

"Sluice switch monitoring!" shouted Mr. Hawley. A few teenagers squeezed aside from the crowd with their hands raised.Jill moved forward again. Jill looked up, tiptoeing, looking at Mr Hawley and at the man-made valley.The roughness of the valley frightened her, but the grandeur still moved her. Jill began to imagine the possible scenes of living on such a hillside in the future, imagining the house in the future, imagining how to go out on dates and shop at that time.Her thoughts floated like a white cloud, and soon drifted to Lu Di.She's always had a dream to personally choose what her and Ludy's house will look like.This is one of the most secret wishes, she never told others.She doesn't know architecture, but she feels like she has an eye for detail and beauty.She can find flavors in small things that most people don't notice. Her favorite thing is to walk while thinking about the beauty of a garden, imagining that she will discuss the design of the new home with Ludi in the future. She always felt that the inventor she was most grateful for was Grandpa Galman. He invented such a house and such a convenient little mechanical construction program, so that every couple who love each other could choose the appearance of their home together.What a sweet process this is, choosing a place of love and never being separated for life. "Farm model set!" Jill was thinking, when Mr Hawley's voice sounded again. Jier suddenly realized that there were not many people in front of her, so she quickly raised her hands high and shouted: "I! I!" She was successfully selected, and happily followed a 30-year-old experimenter in white. The woman in the robe came to the side of the valley model.The woman was very kind, and gave each of them a bag of models of flowers, plants and trees, and instructed them to fill them one by one on a slope in the valley.Jill was so excited that she poked the sand with her fingers and inserted each small model carefully one by one. "We may still need some volunteer assistance in the next few days," Mr. Hawley's voice still passed through the crowd loud and clear, "a very important part of it is the monitoring and farm work in the experimental field. If anyone is willing, please come later. Find Ms. Matthew to register." His finger pointed to the lady in white who led Jill and the others.Jill Huo stood up suddenly, patted the sand on his hands a few times, and signed up happily: "I am willing!" Ms. Matthew smiled gently: "Thank you little sister, but we need adults for this job." "I'm eighteen!" "Really?" Ms. Matthew smiled, "Then you can leave your name later, we will have an interview and selection in a few days." "Is there still a selection?" Jill begged, "Let me go." "Little sister, this requires careful and hard work, and 24-hour monitoring is required during critical periods." "I can do it!" Jier thought for a while, then changed her words, "I will definitely work hard!" Ms. Matthew smiled and patted her on the head and started talking to her.Jill asked long and short questions curiously, and Ms. Matthew patiently answered each of her questions.Jill asked what kind of experimental field this was, and Ms. Matthew said it was probably the first open field on Mars.Jill exclaimed in surprise, feeling that she had never been so honored. If she could help out, it would be written in history. The bustling work is in full swing, the sun rises from the side of the square to the top of the head and gradually turns westward. The entire mountain has been built very completely, from the farmland to the power station to the residential community. It is full and vivid, lifelike.Some selected animal models are scattered in the fields and forests, looming.The villain models placed in the valley and the busy real people outside the valley echo each other, like the creation of dual ideals of mythology and human beings. At three o'clock in the afternoon, in the anticipation of everyone, a tall water storage truck finally drove to the model site, like a towering Titan God, with a steel body full of life's nectar, slowing down while everyone looked up. Gently tilt the water tank to let the clear water rush out of the gate, like magic soldiers and chariots descending from the sky, pouring into the bottom of the model valley, and pouring into a tumbling lake, the water surface rises steadily.At the same time, the giant lamp hanging in the center of the valley began to light up. Under the guidance of the lampshade, the bright yellow light cast a beam of light in a clear direction, shining on the lake on one side and the adjacent rocks.The whole process is slow and solemn, casting an extraordinary momentum beyond the limitation of scale. "My dear friends," Mr. Hawley spoke loudly from the steps, "we are all lucky people to be able to witness such a historical moment! This will be one of the most glorious and most memorable historical turning points in human history, because This is the first large-scale creation of the universe and nature by human wisdom. This is the fusion of human power and heaven, the glory of Mars, and the first and most important step towards the future as an independent race. It is the luckiest honor for us to be born in this era to be able to participate and contribute in such a battle!" Jill's heart was surging when she heard this, and her wish for happiness was stirred up in her heart.She looked at the newly-born mountains and lakes, the steaming mist and the glorious land, and she seemed to feel the breeze blowing on her face, and the fragrance of birds and flowers could be heard everywhere.The corners of her eyes were wet. The lake already has a considerable depth, and the pre-implanted virtual lake algae rippling with the waves, making the water surface appear blue-green and slightly reflective.Under the strong and direct illumination of the headlights, the two sides of the mountain and the lake present completely different air temperatures. The water turns into steam and rises and flows, and gradually condenses into clouds in the air, which accumulate more and more vividly, making the surrounding audience gasp in amazement. whisper.Then, after walking back and forth for a while, the fine dust floating above the valley finally gathered enough water vapor to condense into water droplets, and a gust of rain fell gently on the climbing hillside, just falling on the greenery.Everyone applauded together. Jill was too excited to speak when she saw the trees and flowers she planted were bathed in rain and dew. ※※※ Jill was so excited that day that she didn't even think about where she and Ludy were going to see the next day. In fact, Lu Di told her from the very beginning that he invited her to the photoelectric thin film laboratory, but she was too nervous to pay attention at all.If she heard it, she should have realized immediately that it was not Ludi's laboratory, but Pierre's.
