Chapter 1297 Celery Stir-fried with Pork

Lin Mo didn't need to worry about what happened after that. After returning home, he dozed off on the sofa for a while. At eight o'clock in the morning, his mother, Zhou Min, prepared breakfast and then called everyone downstairs to eat.

Apart from Liu Ruyan, no one else knew what had happened regarding the firecrackers last night. Everyone ate as usual and then packed their things to return to Jiangning.

"Ruyan, drive slowly and be careful!" Zhou Min, Ruyan's mother, reminded her.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan nodded from inside the car: "Don't worry, Auntie, my brother and I will come back to play in a couple of days!"

“Okay, tell Auntie in advance when you get back,” Zhou Min said, waving her hand.

Liu Ruyan: "Okay, Auntie, we're leaving now!"

"Let's go!"

The crowd waved, and the three cars slowly drove away from the villa entrance.

After driving into the city, Liu Ruyan found a spot and parked the car on the side of the road.

"Let's go, Lao Wan!" Lin Mo waved his hand and said.

Upon hearing this, Lao Wan nodded and smiled, "Okay, let me know when you're back. Also, tell the class monitor and Xiaoyue to try their best to find me a boyfriend. Thank you!"

Hearing this, Lin Mo rolled his eyes at him: "Alright, alright, I know. You're useless even when I give you a chance. You're still daydreaming!"

"You're gone!"

"Bye-bye!" Old Wan waved.

Liu Ruyan then started the car, and the three cars quickly got onto the highway.

Lin Mo was a little sleepy, but he still forced himself to look at his phone for a while. He found that the party at his house yesterday had spread online and was very popular. A quick swipe revealed clips of the event from yesterday.

Of course, Qinghe Village and his villa also became popular. Among so many people, someone always included their location when posting videos.

Unbeknownst to Lin Mo, in the period following their departure, the number of people visiting Qinghe Village increased significantly.

"Little brother, are you alright? Why don't you take a nap?" Liu Ruyan asked as she drove.

Hearing this, Lin Mo nodded: "It's alright, I do want to sleep, but I'm not sure I'll be able to fall asleep!"

Although an elderly person in the village passed away last night, Lin Mo didn't feel much. First of all, he wasn't familiar with the old man, and secondly, they weren't really relatives, just fellow villagers. If he were to cry his heart out under these circumstances, it would be too fake.

So he wasn't affected at all, and he didn't even have to attend the burial. After all, his parents were still alive, so having one more or one less wouldn't make a difference.

"Then you should take a nap too, you have things to do later!" Liu Ruyan advised.

Lin Mo nodded in agreement: "Okay, then I'll take a nap!"

He then put down his phone and closed his eyes. Liu Ruyan also stopped talking. Apart from the swaying motion of the car, everything else seemed to quiet down.

Just as Lin Mo was drifting off to sleep, Liu Ruyan nudged him and whispered, "Wake up, little brother, we're almost there!"

"So fast?" Lin Mo muttered, opening his eyes, which were still bloodshot.

Hearing this, Liu Ruyan rolled down the car window and laughed, "That's right, I knew you were in a hurry, so I drove a little faster. We'll definitely make it in time now. Wake up, perk up!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo took a deep breath and realized that they had already arrived near the university town.

Soon, Liu Ruyan stopped her car at a stall, and then handed Lin Mo a piece of pork and a bundle of celery.

"What's this?" Lin Mo asked, holding the pork and celery.

Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Aren't you going to the medical university to attend the graduation ceremony? Professor Li treats you as his last disciple. Even though you won't get their diploma, you can't go empty-handed, can you?"

Furthermore, Professor Li forbids you from giving expensive gifts, so this is perfect—it's a small gift with deep meaning, and it's also dignified!

Lin Mo: ? ? ?

He glanced at the pork and celery in his hand, his mouth moving faster than his brain, and blurted out, "Celery stir-fried with pork? Wouldn't it be even better with some bamboo shoots?"

Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at him upon hearing this: "Get lost, do you want to get beaten up? Bamboo shoots stir-fried with meat, this is called a gift of tuition, anyway, it is a gift that a teacher can accept in front of everyone, and he can also show it off."

Professor Li, in particular, is a highly respected elder, and he loves this the most!

Just listen to me, okay? Hurry up and go, or they'll be done in a minute!

After saying that, Liu Ruyan turned around, got into the car, and drove off, leaving Lin Mo standing blankly at the entrance of the medical university with a piece of pork and celery in his arms.

Well, it's a little embarrassing!

But when I think about how I've already graduated, what's there to be ashamed of? Anyway, I'll be a member of society from now on, and I won't be hanging around in school anymore. They can't possibly laugh at me, can they?

With that in mind, Lin Mo carried the pork and celery and walked towards the school gate. After sending a message to his senior, Shen Qingnan, he finally confirmed the venue for the graduation ceremony.

Unlike their university of science and technology, whose graduation ceremony was somewhat hasty, the medical university's graduation ceremony was very grand, with a larger venue and more people.

Not only were the students wearing graduation gowns, but even the leaders, principals, and teachers on the stage were wearing their own graduation gowns and taking photos with the students.

The graduation certificates were also issued on stage, which was very ceremonial.

Professor Li sat down in the front row of the Traditional Chinese Medicine department. Lin Mo watched from behind for a while, then happily ran over with his celery and pork stir-fry.

"Teacher, thank you for your guidance. How could this graduation ceremony be complete without me!"

Seeing Lin Mo suddenly appear, carrying a celery and pork stir-fry, Professor Li was taken aback at first, but then a smile appeared on his face at a visible speed.

"Hahaha, good! Good, really good!" He then turned to Shen Qingnan in the back row and said, "Look at your junior brother, and look at yourself. You almost killed me when you graduated!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Qingnan rolled her eyes at her teacher, but a slight smile appeared on her lips.

Immediately afterwards, Professor Li, holding a celery and pork stir-fry in one hand and with his other arm around Lin Mo's shoulder, laughed at the other colleagues, "My student, my last disciple, hahaha, even more talented than Xiao Shen! His family's massage and bone-setting skills are expert-level!"

The old man proudly showed off to his colleagues, standing ramrod straight, almost throwing the celery and pork stir-fry in his hand at their faces.

Of course, those who are the same age as Professor Li, or who are also teachers in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, know why he is happy. Nowadays, very few people still remember the tradition of giving tuition fees.

This gift, though not expensive, is something the teacher can be proud of.

Moreover, given Professor Li's mention of a "closed-door disciple" and the fact that Lin Mo wasn't wearing his graduation gown, everyone immediately understood that this wasn't a student from the university, but rather a student Professor Li had taken on privately.

Even someone who isn't a student of your own school knows to give their teacher such a gift upon graduation, while students from your own school don't. How can you not be envious?

But Lin Mo just thought his girlfriend was awesome, she really knew how to give gifts!
