Professor Yuan sighed: "Since things have come to this, let's head back to Harbin ahead of schedule!"
Qian Duoduo asked in surprise, "Aren't we going to Hainan Island?"
Professor Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo: "You want to go?"
Qian Duoduo nodded: "I want to go. My older brother is serving in the army on Hainan Island. I was thinking of taking this opportunity to visit him there, and maybe I can even spend the New Year there!"
Professor Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo, who was filled with longing, and wondered which one was her.
Professor Yuan thought for a moment, then patted Qian Duoduo on the shoulder and said, "Alright, then we won't go back yet, we'll go to Hainan Island. But, Duoduo, don't wander around when we get there. We're unfamiliar with the area, what if we encounter danger?"
"Don't worry, Professor, as long as no one bothers me, I'm too lazy to bother others. Nothing will happen. Besides, I have my older brother." Qian Duoduo said with a grin.
Professor Yuan shook his head helplessly. Just as he was about to return to his seat, he saw Qian Duoduo take a triangular bag from Yang Bin's hand and pull out a bunch of small paper packets, which left Professor Yuan dumbfounded: "What, what is this?"
Actually, Yang Bin was a little confused when he brought it over. What were all these things? Seeing Qian Duoduo's mysterious look, he very consciously took the bag without knowing what was inside.
Qian Duoduo smiled and handed one of the small paper packets to Professor Yuan, looking at him with a beaming smile.
Professor Yuan took the small paper packet and saw that it said "cucumber" on it. He opened it and found cucumber seeds inside. He immediately looked up at Qian Duoduo and asked, "Where did these come from?"
Yang Bin asked, "Are these from those packages?"
Qian Duoduo nodded vigorously, her face beaming with joy and pride, and said, "I called my family and told them our address here."
I didn't expect to receive a package this month. Inside was a cotton coat that my mom sent me. Hehe, my mom really loves me! These are seeds that Qian Duoduo bought from the farm. In an environment like Xinjiang, ordinary seeds would probably have a hard time growing.
Qian Duoduo smiled happily, her eyes sparkling with joy. She said with emotion, "As the saying goes, a mother worries when her son travels a thousand miles. I've traveled almost ten thousand miles to Xinjiang this time!"
Professor Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo, who was smiling like a kitten, and really had the urge to pet her. However, what was more attractive than petting a cat were the little paper packets in front of him. He looked over and said, "Duoduo, we really need to stay here for a while longer. By the way, when you were at school, didn't you set up a greenhouse? You can talk to Battalion Commander Lu about whether we can set one up here too?"
These words immediately made Yang Bin look at Qian Duoduo with great interest. You know, in winter, being able to eat vegetables is already a luxury. If there really was a heated house, wouldn't it be possible to eat vegetables all the time?
Qian Duoduo nodded and said, "That's something we can consider, but what we need is not the small-scale operation I did at school. To ensure the supply of vegetables for the entire corps, that's no small matter. Teacher, you need to think this through."
Professor Yuan said, "I didn't say I wanted all the vegetables from the entire corps. I was just talking about the feasibility of this kind of heated house."
Qian Duoduo said, "The winters in Xinjiang are about as long as those in Northeast China, and they might even start earlier. So it's already September, and if we don't set up the heated house now, it might be difficult in October."
Professor Yuan smiled with satisfaction and nodded slightly, indicating his agreement with Qian Duoduo's words. He said, "Yes, you're right. In that case, let you and Battalion Commander Lu discuss this matter in detail. After all, I'm not as experienced as you when it comes to matters related to greenhouses." After saying that, he gently patted Qian Duoduo's shoulder, seemingly to acknowledge his abilities.
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "Teacher, please don't speak in that tone. It puts a lot of pressure on me!"
Professor Yuan burst into laughter: "You little brat, you can feel pressure? I didn't see that coming from you."
Qian Duoduo sighed and said, "Teacher, you've changed. You're not the serious and earnest teacher I used to know!"
Professor Yuan's laughter stopped abruptly, and he looked at Qian Duoduo with a serious expression: "Go away, don't bother me while I'm sorting the seeds."
Qian Duoduo, all smiles, led Yang Bin away from the guesthouse and headed towards the camp.
Yang Bin asked with a laugh, "Comrade Qian, can vegetables really be grown in that greenhouse you mentioned in winter?"
Qian Duoduo said, "The theoretical knowledge is fine, but there are also major factors such as the weather and the land. You all know how cold the winters are in Xinjiang. Where to build this greenhouse, how to build it, and how big it should be are all questions. That's why we need to communicate with Battalion Commander Lu and Regiment Commander Lu about this matter."
Yang Bin nodded, realizing that he had been a bit simplistic in his thinking. They were not suited for mental work; they should stick to physical labor.
Lu Jinghuai was pleasantly surprised to hear Qian Duoduo's words, but he knew that these were just ideas. After all, building greenhouses was a big project, not a simple matter. There were also questions about where to build the greenhouses, how to build them, and how to plant and maintain the vegetables, all of which required manpower and coordination.
Lu Jinghuai nodded and said, "Comrade Qian, could you give me a plan so I can communicate with the regimental commander?"
Qian Duoduo thought for a moment and said, "Then how about this, I'll go to the pricing class, stay up all night, and see if I can get you one."
Lu Jinghuai immediately smiled and nodded, then took out a folded piece of paper from his desk, placed it on the table, and pushed it toward Qian Duoduo. Qian Duoduo looked at the paper that Lu Jinghuai pushed toward her with some confusion.
Lu Jinghuai said, "This is a letter Liu Yuan wrote to you. Don't worry, I haven't read it. After all, your name is already written on it."
In her letter, Liu Yuan praised Qian Duoduo for the care he had received in their unit, which surprised and delighted Lu Jinghuai. His girlfriend rarely used even half a page to praise him, which showed how close they were. To make his girlfriend happy, Lu Jinghuai secretly decided that he would agree to any request Qian Duoduo made, as long as it wasn't unreasonable. He just hadn't expected her to bring such a surprise. He understood why his girlfriend liked this girl so much—she was truly a person who got things done!
Qian Duoduo looked at the letter on the table with surprise. Her name was written on it, and it was indeed Liu Yuan's handwriting. After all, she often communicated with her comrades in this gossip squad. However, judging from the frequency, she had never communicated with Lu Jinghuai as frequently as she had with Liu Yuan!
This woman who has no humanity when it comes to men—I'll definitely write a letter later to condemn her for that! Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo actually nodded in a serious manner, leaving the two straight men next to her dumbfounded. They hadn't even read the letter yet, so why were they nodding?
