Chapter 44 Planting Trees, Upgrading Space



We both cried at Xiao Lu's wedding banquet. I'm so sorry, Xiao Su.

Su Miaoyan waved her hand, "It's nothing."

Old Bian was also very happy for Professor Xue. "Alright, alright, you've cried enough. Now, take Xiao Yi to eat!"

"good!"

Professor Xue and his wife became even more determined to make Su Miaoyan famous tomorrow.

After thanking them again, the group ate their meal in high spirits, with Dai Yongquan wolfing down his food throughout.

I actually ate three bowls of rice.

The others were also overwhelmed by the delicious aroma of the meal. While drinking the chicken soup, Dai Yong'an said, "Sister-in-law, I've never had such delicious rice in the cafeteria. Where did you buy this rice? It smells so good."

Su Miaoyan wasn't ashamed at all. "I bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative. The salesperson said it was even transported from Northeast China!"

Dai Yong'an gave a thumbs up, "No wonder, I've never been to a supply and marketing cooperative before, I'll definitely go next time."

It smells so good! He could eat a whole bowl of rice with just that.

Moreover, while eating it, I felt warm all over and full of energy!

Su Miaoyan picked at her rice, picked up some vegetables for Lu Ting, and mumbled an "okay."

It was a great joy that Xiao Yi was able to speak. Professor Xue and his wife ate a lot, and before long, all the dishes on the table were gone.

After finishing their meal, the group chatted for a while. Looking at the dishes on the other tables, and adhering to the principle of not wasting food, they packed them all up to take home.

Dai Yong'an packed the most.

Seeing his anxious look, everyone laughed. Although they also thought it tasted delicious, no one tried to take it.

While everyone was distracted, Su Miaoyan went back to her room, took out the fruit she had retrieved from her spatial storage that morning, went out, and stuffed it into Xiao Yi's arms.

Since the things in the space are helpful for Xiao Yi's illness, let him eat more.

"Xiao Yi, these are fruits that your sister picked from the orchard this morning. I see you're thin, so you should eat more vitamins."

Xiao Yi nodded, smiling happily, "Okay, thank you, sister!"

Su Miaoyan was charmed by him and patted his head. "Little Yi is so good. Next time, I'll go play with Little Yi, okay?!"

"Okay! Little Yi, wait for your big sister!"

Su Miaoyan got up from the ground. "Alright, it's getting late. Professor Xue, you should take Xiaoyi back for a follow-up examination."

"Okay, thank you for today, Comrade Su."

After expressing their gratitude to Su Miaoyan once again, Professor Xue and his wife, along with Xiao Yi who kept turning back to look at them, walked out of the courtyard gate.

Before leaving, Xue's mother made sure to tell Su Miaoyan about the commendation ceremony the next day.

Su Miaoyan nodded to indicate that she understood, thinking that this ordeal was finally over.

After saying goodbye, Bian Lao and the others left, leaving Dai Yong'an, Ji Hongwen, and Commander He to help Lu Ting tidy up the table.

During this time, Ji Hongwen said, "Lu Ting, I understand now. Your judgment is never bad!"

Looking at the slender figure not far away, Lu Ting's voice unconsciously softened, "Yes, she's fine."

Ji Hongwen looked at his brother, who was usually cold-faced but now seemed to be bathed in a soft glow, and the corners of his lips curved upwards.

"However, I'm still very curious, what kind of favor are you repaying?"

Commander He, who was standing nearby, lingered to ask this question. Hearing Ji Hongwen's voice, he also came over.

Lu Ting succinctly repeated what he had said to Su Miaoyan earlier, and the expressions of the two women completely changed.

Ji Hongwen, in particular, looked very serious.

He is quite traditional at heart, so he has a stereotype about people like Su Miaoyan.

But after hearing what Lu Ting said, he patted Lu Ting on the shoulder.

He admitted that he had been too loud.

Commander He also had a stern expression, but he respected Lu Ting's approach and had a new perspective on capitalists.

A capitalist who helps others, even if he has a bad class background, is not necessarily a bad person at heart.

At this moment, Su Miaoyan turned around and saw the group of people gathered together. Curious, she walked over.

"Lu Ting, what are you doing?"

Ji Hongwen and Commander He wiped the table in tacit agreement, then Ji touched his nose and turned away.

He went into the house with Dai Yong'an.

Lu Ting didn't intend to tell Su Miaoyan about this. "It's nothing. We were just discussing some training-related matters."

"oh."

Su Miaoyan wasn't the type to dwell on internal conflicts, so she didn't ask any more questions.

After tidying up, Su Miaoyan sent some fresh cabbages over to thank the three of them.

Looking at the fresh and green cabbage, the group couldn't bring themselves to refuse. They accepted it, thanked the owner, and returned to their own yard.

As night fell, the bed frame was still not repaired, so the two of them slept in the next room that night.

Su Miaoyan couldn't sleep because she was thinking about the award ceremony that Professor Xue had mentioned tomorrow.

Her movement of turning over was exceptionally clear in the silent darkness.

Lu Ting asked, "Can't you sleep?"

The noise beside her paused slightly, and a clear voice came from behind, "Hmm, I can't sleep."

Lu Ting: "What's wrong?"

Su Miaoyan voiced her doubts.

Lu Ting breathed a sigh of relief. "It's alright. You just need to stand on the stage and accept the banner. Professor Xue will say the acceptance speech for you."

It's that simple?

Su Miaoyan was no longer worried.

She said "Oh," and suddenly a few figures flashed through her mind.

Oh no, everything that's happened here is so dramatic, she almost forgot about Su Yuze and the others!

According to the schedule, even if there were further delays on the road, they should have already arrived in Haizhou. Thinking of the stones in the car and the millions of assets in her space, Su Miaoyan felt extremely happy.

She continued, "Lu Ting, before I came to the Gobi Desert, I heard that there was a shortage of jobs there. In order to alleviate the employment pressure and respond to the national call, are military dependents supposed to go to the Gobi Desert to control desertification and plant trees?"

"Yes, the higher-ups want to build a new oasis here. They'll pay two cents for each tree they plant. The more you work, the more you earn; the less you work, the less you earn. As long as you're willing to work hard, some people can earn tens of dollars a day."

"Usually it's military dependents who go, but there's no mandatory requirement from above; they can go if they want or not."

A voice inside Su Miaoyan was telling her to go!

I've heard that jade and gemstones are most easily found in the Gobi Desert.

However, you should bring the right tools and take precautions against sunburn.

Thinking of the invisible film on her body that could block ultraviolet rays, which had formed from drinking the spiritual spring water, Su Miaoyan thought, "Isn't this heaven helping me?"

Although her space level was already 500, she still wanted to see what she would receive when her space reached the maximum level.

Su Miaoyan said, "Lu Ting, I want to plant a tree."

Lu Ting almost thought he had misheard. He remained silent for a while until the person next to him repeated it, and only then did he realize that he hadn't misheard.

He turned over, his voice deep, “There are no sunshades there, so it’s easy to get sunburned, and if you plant too much, your hands will easily develop calluses and chafing.”

Su Miaoyan knew that in his heart, she was a delicate young lady who couldn't lift a finger.

But she still insisted, "Lu Ting, I know..."
