Go back to the past to plant trees

After finishing his breakfast, Feng Cheng left the cafeteria and ran into Qin Xuemei and her three companions. He smiled and nodded at them before leaving.

Their thoughts were written all over their faces, and Feng Cheng could easily guess what had just happened.

The rift between Wu Yansheng and Qin Xuemei is probably widening, and it seems hopeless for him to establish a romantic relationship with Qin Xuemei in Bashang.

In the drama, he was the only person in Bashang who was suitable for Qin Xuemei, so even though Qin Xuemei was dissatisfied with some of his behaviors, she still chose him because she had no other choice.

Don't apply the situation of the future to the present. In the future, there will be plenty of people who get married in their thirties or forties, or even who don't get married at all, and that's all normal. But in this era, if you're in your twenties and still not married, then you're abnormal, you'll be talked about, and the person in question will be very anxious.

Didn't you see that Ji Xiurong and Yan Xiangli had been dating for less than half a year before they were busy preparing for their wedding? This was quite common in those days. It's not like in later generations, where people would date for years or even decades, going from young girls to women, without ever talking about marriage.

Therefore, in the drama, the reason why Qin Xuemei and Wu Yansheng got together was largely due to the pressure of reality, because if she didn't choose Wu Yansheng, it would be difficult to find someone as outstanding as him.

Of course, in the early part of the series, Feng Cheng was always portrayed as a wild man, and his temper was also very bad at that time, so although Qin Xuemei had some feelings for him, they did not reach the point of being boyfriend and girlfriend.

The current situation is completely different from that in the drama. Feng Cheng's conditions are no worse than Wu Yansheng's, and his temperament, personality, and way of dealing with people are far superior to Wu Yansheng's. Although Qin Xuemei doesn't say it, her goodwill towards Feng Cheng is growing day by day.

Having had several relationships in his previous life, Feng Cheng was able to sense whether a girl had feelings for him. Although he wasn't as perceptive as a seasoned lover, he was certainly no longer a novice when it came to romance.

Even if Wu Yansheng did nothing, Feng Cheng was confident that he would be unable to win over Qin Xuemei, let alone the fact that this guy made a series of blunders.

Feng Cheng felt like a villain in a TV series, hiding in the shadows and plotting to ruin other people's relationships and feelings.

But as the saying goes, good people don't live long, while evil people live for a thousand years. Sometimes being a bad person isn't necessarily a bad thing, as long as you can win.

Didn't someone say online, "Why can't you win? Why is your life still so hard despite your hard work?" It's because you're too clean. Being "dirty" sounds unpleasant, but it's not necessarily a bad thing.

...

The romantic relationships between college students are probably the most talked-about topic in the camp. After all, there's not much else to do here, and romantic relationships can at least attract everyone's attention.

"Brother Feng, I need to go home tonight."

"Okay, no problem. Remember to buy two chickens when you get back to improve your meals."

With more people in Bashang, the quality of food began to decline sharply. Before, it was just Feng Cheng and Zhao Jinquan. They had a vegetable garden and a chicken coop, and they would occasionally go back to the village to buy some things. Uncle Liu would also bring them some meat and other food. Their meals were acceptable. But now, with more people, the consumption has increased. Although Yu Zheng came and raised the food standards, it was impossible for it to be better than before. After all, the standards had to be aligned with those of other forest farms.

So, for more than a month after the college students arrived at the dam, Feng Cheng hadn't eaten much oily food. The potato noodles and sweet potato noodles they made were only eaten a few times and then gone, and they didn't keep well. The group of people were thinking about improving their meals all day long, and they finished them off in just a few days.

The chickens in the coop didn't last long either. Now there are only about ten newly caught chicks left. If you want to eat chicken, you'll have to wait at least another six months.

“Okay, I’ll buy it when I get back,” Zhao Jinquan nodded in agreement, and then added, “When I go back this time, I want to bring the ewe from the team. The ewe just gave birth to lambs and is producing milk. They keep saying they want to eat cake, drink milk tea, and drink goat milk. I’ll bring it over and feed it to them for a while, and get them something to eat.”

Ever since they learned that Zhao Jinquan could cook all kinds of delicious food, the college students would ask him to cook for them every few days. At first, they made bread, and later they made desserts and drinks. It was only because these guys prepared a lot of things before they went up to the dam that they had nothing to cook for them. But even with the preparations, it wasn't enough for them to consume. After they finished eating, the group wanted Zhao Jinquan to go back to the team to buy things.

Zhao Jinquan, worn down by their persistent nagging, had no choice but to agree. Of course, it was also because Meng Yue liked it that Zhao Jinquan was so eager to get involved. Although he couldn't push his luck too much because Meng Yue had a boyfriend, they were all together, and they would inevitably cross paths in work and life. In those occasional interactions, Zhao Jinquan always tried his best to win Meng Yue's favor. So when he learned that the group wanted to drink milk tea, which he had never made before, Zhao Jinquan naturally had to find a way to make it.

For this reason, Zhao Tianshan bought two jin of sugar when he went down to the dam a few days ago. Zhao Jinquan is also considering making some more red maltose in a while, as the previous stock has been basically used up.

"If you bring the ewes over, will your team agree?"

Zhao Jinquan said, "I agree. I'll just pay for it. Some people in our team have bought goat milk before. As long as they pay, it's fine. I'll bring the goat over for a few days, and when Erqiang goes back, I'll have him take it back with him. It's only a few days, it won't cost much. Besides, those college students said they can pay for it."

"That's fine."

University graduates earn high salaries, after all, they have the status of cadres, which is much better than that of front-line workers. Moreover, they live in the Bashang area, where there are fewer places to spend money, so they can basically keep their salaries.

If you want to improve your meals, you either have to spend money or put in the effort. If you don't contribute anything, you'll just have to eat potato buns every day.

After Feng Cheng was promoted to deputy section chief, his salary increased significantly. He is now at level 20, earning 68 yuan, which is a substantial increase compared to before.

Feng Cheng's current salary is enough to occasionally treat the people in the camp to a nice meal, but only occasionally. He can't afford to do it more often, since there are too many people.

So if you want to eat well, you'll have to split the bill, or work hard to expand your vegetable garden and chicken coop, grow more vegetables, and raise more chickens.

The vegetable garden at the camp is getting bigger and bigger. After Wei Fugui took over, he planted everything that could be planted. He was so afraid of being hungry that he wanted to plant everything on such a large piece of land.

Feng Cheng was also happy to see this happen. To be honest, the camp's consumption was indeed quite high. Thirteen people, just calculating the rations, would require eight or nine hundred kilograms a month. If they relied entirely on the bureau to send food, it wouldn't be enough, and the bureau would also have a heavy burden.
