Chapter 657: Cultivating Flower Seedlings

Before going to high school, he had to finish the second semester of eighth grade at Dalinzi Middle School.

March 1st is the first day of school.

Just as Wan Feng expected, he was assigned to sit in the fourth row of seats in the first row on the left. Cheng Ping was his deskmate, and Qi Yunli was in the row in front of him.

Chengping looked at Wan Feng in surprise as he sat in the empty seat next to her. She was actually sitting at the same table with this guy.

"I actually sit at the same table with you."

"I already told you I can tell fortunes. How about I tell you one day?"

Cheng Ping shook her head. She didn’t tell fortunes.

Wan Feng's homeroom teacher is a teacher named Qian who just graduated from a normal school last year. He tends to tremble when he gets angry.

The previous student leader of the class was Wu Huayang, but after Wan Feng arrived, the leadership was peacefully transferred to Wan Feng.

Wu Huayang is a very promising man. Thirty years later, he became one of the top ten farmers in the country.

At this moment, Wan Feng had no way of connecting him with the top ten farmers in the country thirty years later.

Thirty years later, as the chairman of the Dalinzi Agricultural Machinery Cooperative, he was twice elected one of the top ten farmers in the country.

In Wu County and Heihe District, he was a representative of the People's Congress and often attended some meetings. He was really very popular for a while.

However, only he himself knows how much pain he suffers inside despite the glorious appearance.

In any place where reporters have to hand in their bank cards for interviews, Wan Feng doesn't think there is anything to envy about Wu Huayang's later life.

When Wan Feng came, Wu Huayang followed Wan Feng's lead.

Wan Feng soon became familiar with the class and became a very different person.

While boys and girls in the class were basically not communicating with each other, he was chatting with everyone for a long time without saying anything.

This was the case with his deskmate Cheng Ping, and Tang Ruizhi behind him. Qi Yunli, the prettiest girl in the class, was simply his messenger. Whenever Wan Feng wanted to do something, Qi Yunli would run faster than anyone else.

Of course, Wan Feng would throw her two pieces of candy every now and then.

"Come here! Open your mouth!"

That afternoon, when Wan Feng arrived at school, he saw Qi Yunli eating candy again and made a gesture to her.

"What?"

"If someone were to eat candy like you every day, their teeth would probably be corroded by the sugar. Let me see why your teeth aren't corroded. Could it be the legendary ivory?"

Qi Yunli turned around stupidly and opened her mouth.

Wan Feng even tapped Qi Yunli's teeth with a pencil in a serious tone, "This isn't ivory, is it? Damn Cheng Ping, tell her it's not an idiom for ivory."

"You can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth!" Cheng Ping added seriously from the side.

Qi Yunli snapped her mouth shut and looked at Wan Feng and Cheng Ping pretending to be angry.

It has been almost a month since school started, and she has basically understood Wan Feng's shamelessness.

"A pair of bastards."

Wan Feng turned to look at Chen Chengping: "Did you hear what Xian Hua said?"

"She scolded us."

"What did she scold us for?"

"She said we were a pair of dogs."

"Then why don't you bite her!"

Of course, Cheng Ping couldn't bite her, she was not a dog.

"Everyone in the 42nd Company says that you have a wife. Is that true?" Qi Yunli asked with a twinkle in her eyes.

Wan Feng nodded: "Yes!"

"You said your wife is pretty, but is she as pretty as me?"

This woman is obsessed with beauty.

"I guess she's not as good-looking as you." In order not to upset Qi Yunli, Wan Feng lied with his eyes open.

Qi Yunli blinked for a long time and said something that left Wan Feng speechless: "Although your wife is not as pretty as me, the fact that you have a wife has caused me trauma. To make up for my trauma, you must buy me a dime worth of milk candy every day... Buy me a dime worth of milk candy every day."

This woman's extortion hit him on the head.

But he could afford two cents a day, so he just treated it as a joke to tease her.

It's also very interesting to tease a little beauty with candy.

In the blink of an eye, it has been almost a month since the start of school, and Wan Feng feels that it is time for him to do something serious.

After the first class that afternoon, Wan Feng asked for leave from the director Qian Weiguo.

"Going out of town?" Qian Weiguo asked doubtfully.

Wan Feng nodded: "To be more precise, it's a trip to Changchun City. It will probably take about half a month to go back and forth."

I take more than half a month off at a time. If I just stay out for a few more days, it will be May Day. If I just muddle through for a few more days, it will be time for vacation. Do you think this life is so easy?

He was going to Changchun. In April, spring had already begun and flowers were blooming in Changchun, and his investment in Sanchahe needed to be officially launched.

As a class teacher, it was a very risky thing to promise students a half-month vacation, but Qian Weiguo still approved it.

First, when he asked for leave, he took a medical certificate which said that he had to go to another place to treat XX disease.

Second, when he was reading the diagnosis, he found two ten-yuan bills inside.

His basic salary is thirty-five, which is more than half a month's salary for him.

In an era when treating people to a meal is criticized, direct bribery with money is extremely effective.

It wasn't difficult for Wan Feng to ask for leave.

During the last self-study class, Qi Yunli turned around and looked at Wan Feng pitifully.

Wan Feng frowned: "Eat it all again?"

Qi Yunli nodded.

What animal eats the most sugar?

After school, Qi Yunli happily followed Wan Feng to the Dalinzi Supply and Marketing Cooperative to buy candy.

Wan Feng usually bought 30 or 50 cents, but unexpectedly, he bought a big bag today and put it in her hand just like the first time at the Sijitun Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

Is the sun rising from the west?

"I'm going out of town tomorrow and probably won't be back for half a month. These candies are your food for the next half month. If you eat them all, you'll have to buy more with your own money."

"You're going out of town? And you're going to be gone for half a month?"

"I have a disease and need to go to another place for treatment. If I recover, we can still be classmates when I come back. If I fail to recover, you will never see me again." Wan Feng spoke nonsense.

Qi Yunli's face tensed up when she heard this, tears glistening in her eyes. "Is it that serious? Then you must get well. If you die, who will buy me candy?"

Wan Feng's eyes went dark. This woman was only thinking about eating.

April 1, 1983, is April Fools' Day in the West, but it is not a holiday in China.

The land in Heilongjiang has warmed up in April, and the roadside is already full of lush greenery, but there is still a hint of chill in the morning.

Wan Feng left Forty-Two on this day and after three reverses, he arrived in Changchun City on the afternoon of April 2nd.

He first came to Sanchahe to see what the greenhouse he invested in looked like.

The greenhouse is basically completed and covered with plastic. The next step is to cultivate the flower seedlings in the greenhouse.

Wan Feng, the master who cultivates the flower seedlings, was found last year. He paid a high salary to a very famous master from Changchun to cultivate the flower seedlings.

While the evergreen Clivia has not yet started to ferment, Wan Feng invited him to cultivate the seedlings and that would be enough.
