22. Finally
Su Liu knew what it was and opened it as soon as he got it.
It was a document dissolving the engagement, and the bright red seal indicated that her marriage was no longer compatible.
Previously in Nanjin City, her marriage engagement with Zhang Yanchen was finally cancelled in the presence of her military superiors.
Because of the destruction of K-72, the forced marriage policy promulgated by the star master naturally no longer exists.
The two of them simultaneously applied to the Imperial Marriage Bureau to dissolve their relationship, and from then on, they had no further contact.
Holding the document against his chest, Su Liu felt relieved.
Zhang Yanchen always thought that this good-for-nothing little girl would cling to him, a young second lieutenant.
But he didn't know that Su Liu was more resistant to this forced marriage than he was.
The only thing she wanted to thank Zhang Yanchen for was that at least because of the marriage match, she came to the Zhang family and spent three wonderful years with her father.
During these three years, she was cared for and protected, and for the first time, she truly experienced the fatherly love she had never had before.
Therefore, she could forgive Zhang Yanchen's indifference to her and not dwell on the two years of hard work she put in to support Zhang Yanchen's military education.
But Zhang Yanchen’s betrayal of his father cannot be resolved just yet.
"Dad," Su Liu murmured softly, "If I also pass the exam to become a Purifier, can I return everything he inflicted on you to him without any punishment?"
It’s almost the end of the month and another monthly exam is coming.
All the students in the department learned from the previous experience and lessons, and worked hard, staying up late to study.
Su Liu was not interested in being first. She just wanted to stay in the top ten in the department and continue to eat in the cafeteria on the fourth floor.
But the textbook content was indeed very simple and there was no need to review it, so Su Liu went to Ying Tianqing's place for a stroll.
Ying Tianqing has several plots of land and grows a lot of crops.
She was harvesting potatoes and was going to sell them at the market, so she asked Su Liu to help and told Su Liu some things about the market.
"Although the cafeteria will also purchase students' crops, the demand is limited after all, and it is impossible to purchase everyone's crops every day."
"In Sky City, where Maha is located, there are many large and small vegetable markets and shopping malls that purchase vegetables and fruits from private growers."
"The closest vegetable market to the school is a natural vegetable market, and there's also a military vegetable market run by the troops stationed in the city. The prices are quite fair, and they won't cheat students like us."
Su Liu asked, "What's the purchase price?"
"It's hard to say. It depends on market demand and the quality of the crops. In short, you will know when the time comes."
The school rented the harvester for free, but the diesel had to be paid for by the individual. Ying Tianqing was reluctant to spend the money, so he and Su Liu spent most of the day before they finished digging.
After planting one acre of potatoes, after deducting the one-tenth rent paid to the school, there are less than 2,000 kilograms left, which is a relatively low yield.
Then Ying Tianqing drove a broken and dirty van and took Su Liu to the military market.
This market is quite large and mainly sells vegetables. In Su Liu's opinion, even the most ordinary vegetables are surprisingly expensive.
Ying Tianqing's potatoes were sent to market regulators after undergoing safety testing.
The supervisor checked the quality and quoted a price based on the size and shape, "1.3 Star Coins per pound."
Ying Tianqing screamed, "So low?"
"How much higher do you want?"
Ying Tianqing murmured, "Or 1.5 will be fine too."
"I don't care if I sell it or not."
“Sell, sell, sell.”
Su Liu later learned that potatoes are one of the mainstream foods, and there are already mature cultivation techniques. Many agricultural bases are growing them on a large scale, so the price is not high.
Ying Tianqing harvested more than 2,000 kilograms of potatoes. After deducting car rental fees, labor costs, seed costs, rent, etc., the net profit in two months was less than 2,000.
Su Liu deeply felt that this business was not profitable.
She glanced at the other stalls and said, "Senior, don't you want to grow something else? For example, spinach? I think it sells for over 40 yuan per pound."
Ying Tianqing said bitterly, "Don't I want to plant it? I can't grow it! Compared to emerging vegetables like spinach that don't have a specific planting plan, planting potatoes can be said to be foolproof."
Spinach seeds are expensive and the planting technology is not mature. If there are some setbacks, won’t we lose money after a few months?
After selling the potatoes, Ying Tianqing immediately transferred 100 star coins to Su Liu as a reward, and then went to the supermarket, bought two boxes of canned luncheon meat, and gave one box to her.
In the dormitory at night, Su Liu shared luncheon meat with his roommates, each person having a piece of luncheon meat.
Yan Ziyan was so touched, "I haven't smelled meat for a month. How could you be so kind to give me such an expensive thing?"
"I'm not giving you this for free, so remember to help me clean up the shit." "Please don't talk about this while you're eating, okay?"
Afterwards, the others continued to review, and Su Liu, who was so tired that his back and waist ached, lay on the balcony and looked at the stars.
The dark blue sky was so beautiful that it brought her back to her days in the orphanage.
At that time, the teacher took them to harvest rice. In order to get more food, they worked until late at night under the moonlight.
The children couldn't hold on any longer and fell asleep on the edge of the field.
Su Liu was also curled up, and sometimes she could vaguely feel that the teacher would take time to come over and use a palm-leaf fan to shoo away mosquitoes for them.
It might be dawn by the time the grain is harvested. After getting the money, I would take them to the store to buy ice cream, and then the group of children would jump and laugh back to the orphanage.
She felt that she was actually quite lucky.
Although he had no parents, he met a very good orphanage director and teachers, and was later protected by Zhang Mingzhu. His short life was not too bad, except for the separation from Zhang Mingzhu.
Speaking of which, what did Dad write in the letter to the Yves family?
Two days later, as soon as the monthly exam was over, Su Liu went straight to the management office.
The third grade where Ying Tianqing was was also taking exams, and Su Liu couldn't find her. Fortunately, a senior from the fourth grade of the Planting Department helped her with advice.
"Do you want to plant something else?" Senior Gray had just returned from the paddy field carrying a hoe, and his rolled-up trouser legs were covered in mud.
Su Liu said, "I planted mung beans on my one acre of land, and Senior Ying gave me another acre. I want to plant some other crops."
Gray scraped the mud off his hoe, then turned on the tap to rinse his hands and legs.
"Wait a minute."
Su Liu squatted patiently by the land and waited.
There are several rice fields here, with signs on the ridges that show the grower's student ID, name, contact information, etc.
The entire mirror area follows this model. There is general information about the edge of each person's land. Once the military finds that there is a problem with the vegetables grown, they can contact us after it has been dealt with.
Ten minutes later, Gray took out a book of atlases and asked, "What do you want to plant?"
Su Liu opened it and took a look. There were tomatoes, lettuce, celery, cowpeas, etc.
She doesn't like these very much because they don't fill her up.
When she turned to the back, her eyes lit up. "Pumpkin? Senior Gray, can I grow pumpkins?"
Gray frowned. "Of course it's possible, but pumpkins are a newly purified species in recent years, and the planting plan is still being explored. There are no detailed instructions. Are you sure it's possible?"
