Chapter 270: Chapter 270 Personally Taking Her to the Exam Venue

He Shan led Qiao Qingyu to a secluded place and spoke in a low voice, "You don’t have to worry about this matter. When this underground space was being excavated, half of the workers were foreign adventurers, and then there were also a dozen or so people from Xichuan. They weren’t killed, after all, they all had families, if someone took them out to work and they didn’t return, wouldn’t their families suspect something? They were paid their wages and went straight home. However, at that time they didn’t know what this place was for. After these people left, little by little, they secretly transported these things here to hide them..."

This issue had been considered by them long ago, so they were always careful in their handling of it.

Qiao Qingyu breathed a sigh of relief, thankful that it was not as she had imagined.

Qiao Qingyu drove the tractor back home to the residential compound with peace of mind, and in the afternoon, she received a call from Mr. Qian. Excitedly, Mr. Qian informed Qiao Qingyu that Wu Xiujie had unilaterally terminated the contract for the land he had leased. Considering the many contributions he had made to Xichuan, the land lease contract was amicably dissolved.

Qiao Qingyu did not intend to take over the lease, as she had limited energy and couldn’t handle everything.

But she could help.

Although production contracts had now been distributed, the wasteland could not be divided among individuals; only cultivable land could be. The rights to use these wastelands still belonged to the commune.

Then, that’s when He Xiuyu’s multi-tiered greening system came into play.

Mr. Qian directly went to find Lu Ye.

Yushu County was the first experimental area. This place was also the closest to the wind-sand belt.

And Xichuan offered the most policies.

But, seeding was indeed too difficult now.

No planning naturally resulted in no excessive reserves.

Whether it was ordinary seeds or precious seeds, they had all become scarce.

For example, the Barley Grass Seeds in the hands of Station Chief Meng Ke of the Mobei Prairie were completely out of stock.

Even though the spring planting had just begun, there were no reserves left.

One could say that the greening was happening too fast, and they could not keep up with the pace. But this was really not the fault of the seed stations. Nobody expected that all of a sudden, a Qiao Qingyu would appear and spread the Barley Grass seeds into a small-scale prairie.

The tree species and wild grape seeds that He Xiuyu had obtained were also out of stock now.

Qiao Qingyu wanted to take bigger steps but was hampered by the lack of resources, as it’s tough for a clever woman to cook without rice.

In the evening when He Xiuyu came back, she talked to him about this issue.

He Xiuyu thought it was some serious matter. Smiling, he said, "Professor Feng and Old Zhou have gotten in touch with a batch of seeds that will arrive in a few days. In your Space Laboratory, there’s a type of forage called alfalfa that has been improved. Normally, it can be harvested four times a year, but in Xichuan, it’s closer to two. However, it can still produce around four thousand catties, and most importantly, a single planting can be beneficial for ten years..."

Qiao Qingyu thought about it for a while and finally pulled He Xiuyu into the space.

Indeed, it was just as He Xiuyu had said.

One has to admire He Xiuyu’s memory. She had seen a lot, and many were just a brief glimpse.

And so, Qiao Qingyu helped the Xiaxi Commune plant alfalfa on that stretch of wasteland.

...

Before one knew it, summer arrived.

Qiao Qingyu had still not realized her dream of shepherding and riding a horse.

Nevertheless, the Barley Grass remained lush and green; the artifacts in the underground cave had all been transported away. He Shan, along with the engineering troops, had also left. Before leaving, they leveled the barren hillside to the north and then filled the underground cave with soil. This place was too far from the groundwater source, so the artificial lake that Qiao Qingyu wanted was very much up in the air; moreover, having a large hole here was quite dangerous.

After leveling it and replanting the grass, they could finally call it a day.

Rongrong was on holiday, and Qiao Qingyu was preparing for the college entrance examination.

He Xiuyu specially took three days off to filter through the key points with Qiao Qingyu and then accompanied her and Rongrong to the exams in Yushu County.

The family of three checked into a guest house.

The weather was quite hot, and Yushu County did not have a night market. After Rongrong fell asleep, He Xiuyu and Qiao Qingyu leaned on each other and talked.

"As long as you play it normal, you’ll definitely get into the school you’re aiming for, don’t be nervous," He Xiuyu spoke softly and gently.

Qiao Qingyu lay on his thighs, holding a book, which she flipped through for a few pages before setting it aside, laughing, "I’m not nervous; it seems to me like you’re the nervous one."

She played with his fingers but remained silent.

"Why aren’t you talking?" He Xiuyu asked.

"I suddenly feel like I don’t want to leave you or Xichuan. Going to university doesn’t seem to hold much significance."

"Didn’t we have an agreement? Rongrong and I will be right here waiting for you."

Qiao Qingyu sighed, glancing at the sleeping He Xuerong, "It’s quite tough, though."

He Xiuyu, "You don’t need to overthink it. I was prepared for all sorts of difficulties when I brought Rongrong back, only I didn’t expect it would wear you out."

He Xiuyu felt guilty.

"Get some rest early. I’ll take you to the exam site tomorrow."

Qiao Qingyu, "No, that’s embarrassing."

"What, you’re sick of me?" He Xiuyu looked at her askance.

Qiao Qingyu wrapped her arms around his neck, giving him a gentle kiss.

Study hard, and do well on the exams.

Having a laboratory without even a diploma would be a problem in the future.

The next morning, He Xiuyu woke up early to buy breakfast for Qiao Qingyu. She didn’t have much soup, but Rongrong insisted that Qiao Qingyu eat two eggs and a fried dough stick.

Apparently, Xiao Hu had told her it symbolized scoring 100 points.

Luckily the fried dough sticks were not too big and were nicely fried, and with two eggs, they were quite manageable. Qiao Qingyu also drank a bowl of millet porridge.

He Xiuyu checked the fountain pens in Qiao Qingyu’s pencil case, taking one out to test if it leaaked ink or could write properly, and he had prepared three fountain pens for her.

Qiao Qingyu had entered the exam room on her own when she took the college entrance exam, but this year, to her surprise, it was her husband and his little niece seeing her off.

Looking at the tall and distinguished He Xiuyu standing outside the exam center, Qiao Qingyu felt warmth in her heart.

He smiled, and she smiled back, reassured and not nervous.

The two days of exams passed quickly.

Then it was time to wait at the base family compound for the scores and the admission notice.

Back then, you would first declare your preferred universities and then receive your scores.

The volunteer choice she had discussed with He Xiuyu was, naturally, Imperial Agricultural University, and with her marks, she should be admitted.

But He Xiuyu was very busy, so she went to submit her choices by herself.

When the results came in, Qiao Qingyu scored first place in the arts for West City.

Shen Fen came over happily with the letter, and Sister-in-law Li, lively as ever, called a few close acquaintances over; they had a dinner party that night making dumplings, which turned into quite the bustling event.

After that, it was just waiting for the admission notice, but Qiao Qingyu acted as if this were not happening at all, being busy again in the fields.

Qiao Qingyu’s life was incredibly fulfilling.

The multi-tier greenification system in Xichuan was orderly and unfolding, a significant amount of human, material, and financial resources were invested, and the results were noticeable.

The sandstorms were gradually diminishing, and the green areas were steadily growing.

Xichuan had also become a region of focus for those above.
