Da Si Nong: I really don’t want to farm

Chapter 350 Your Choice Was Right

I've just turned 18, and my classmate is already a grandfather.

It's not just one or two key issues.

How am I supposed to build friendships with them as classmates?
The generation gap!
With such an age difference, there's definitely a generation gap.

"Are those two also our classmates?"

Li Yan pointed to the distance and spoke.

Wang Haolin and Mu Xiaoyan looked in the direction and were speechless.

One had gray hair, and the other had very little hair left.

“Those two are not,” Wang Haolin said. “One is a life science expert, and the other is a space physics expert; both are academicians.”

"An academician?" Busy asked, somewhat surprised. "Our academy has two academicians?"

Academicians are not comparable to professors or PhDs.

“There are more than two,” Mu Xiaoyan said. “There are also academicians from the Academy of Agricultural Sciences. I don’t know how many, but there are at least two.”

Previously, there was Academician Meng.

However, after Academician Meng went to the desert, another one came.

That person wasn't close to Xu Yue; at best, they'd only met a few times.

The boys' dormitory and the girls' dormitory are not far apart.

The four then separated.

"This dormitory is quite big."

Meng Hao looked around the dormitory with some surprise.

The dormitory is at least twice the size of a typical university dormitory, and it also houses four people.

Four people won't feel crowded at all.

The toilet also seems to be quite large.

There's also a balcony where you can dry clothes, and a small washing machine.

this.
"Senior Wang, where are you?"

After being amazed, Meng Hao asked Wang Haolin where he lived.

He's a student too, so he probably lives in a dormitory, right?
“I live in Taoyuan Village, not at the school,” Wang Haolin said. “There aren’t many students in the first batch, and quite a few don’t live at the school, so the dorms probably won’t be full. You might have one or two roommates, or you might not have any.”

Not a single one?

While it may seem a bit lonely, doesn't that mean you have a lot of personal space?

"Get ready!" Wang Haolin said. "Then I'll take you for a tour of the academy. Don't let the small number of students fool you; it's actually quite large."

When building a school, the goal is to build it as large as possible.

It can easily accommodate tens of thousands of people.

And now?

Only a few hundred people enrolled.

That would naturally make it seem spacious.

"it is good!"

Meng Hao then started packing up.

They acted quickly, after all, they're guys, they don't have many fuss oversights or much luggage.

However, when they left the dormitory, they found Li Yan and Mu Xiaoyan waiting for them.

Both of them were stunned.

Why do girls pack their bags so quickly?
Li Yan had an extra suitcase compared to Meng Hao.

As for bedding and such, we really don't need it in this weather.

Besides, those things are available for purchase.

"You left your luggage there for so long?" Li Yan said. "You didn't finish packing before you came down, did you?"

"You didn't pack?"

Meng Hao was somewhat enlightened, but also somewhat puzzled.

"There's plenty of time later, it's not good to keep people waiting."

As Li Yan spoke, she looked at Mu Xiaoyan and Wang Haolin.

Meng Hao was immediately embarrassed.

"This is the cafeteria. We eat here for breakfast, lunch, and dinner."

"Take only what you can eat, don't waste it."

"This is the teaching building!"

"This is a library, and it has quite a few books, but I suggest you read more ancient agricultural works."

Along the way, Wang Haolin and his group also encountered other people.

Although the registration period is three days, today is the first day, but there are already quite a few people here.

At noon, the school cafeteria was noticeably busier.

Wang Haolin and the others were busy all morning, so they didn't go back to Taoyuan Village. Instead, they ate at the canteen.

Although the food in the cafeteria was a little worse than what they usually ate.

Even farm produce can vary.

The Xu family's is naturally the best.

They all know this, but it's enough to just go and freeload a meal once in a while.

It's impossible to freeload meals every day.

Secondly, those grown in Taoyuan Village.

Then come the other villages.

Even agricultural trading companies are categorized.

"Senior!"

Meng Hao and Li Yan sat down next to Wang Haolin and the others, carrying their plates.

"That's not enough!" Mu Xiaoyan said, looking at Li Yan's plate. "You can get more if you need it."

"I can't eat that much!" Li Yan said with a smile. "Sister Yan, aren't you afraid of gaining weight if you eat so much?"

"He won't get fat."

Hu Hai smiled and replied.

"Zihan, over here!"

Mu Xiaoyan glanced at something not far away and then waved.

"Sister Yan"

Li Zihan walked over carrying a large plate of food, leaving Meng Hao and Li Yan dumbfounded.

How can you eat so much?

Although Li Zihan is not short, does she need to leave so quickly?

“Li Zihan should be the youngest among the trainees,” Mu Xiaoyan said with a smile. “This is Li Yan, and this is Meng Hao. They should be the trainees closest in age to you.”

"Hello there!"

"Hello, you have quite an appetite!" Li Yan said to Li Zihan. "Aren't you worried about wasting food? The school should take care of that, right?"

“She practices martial arts, so she eats more than most people,” Mu Xiaoyan said. “Besides… never mind, you should try it first, and maybe you’ll understand.”

Someone who practices martial arts?
Is this little girl a martial arts practitioner?

Can martial arts practitioners eat this?

Meng Hao took a bite subconsciously, and then froze.

Li Yan isn't much better off either.

too delicious!

Is this food from the cafeteria?

Even the food at a five-star hotel probably can't compare.

Where did the school hire its chef?

With this skill, you might as well open a restaurant; that would surely be a thriving business.

Wang Haolin and the others were used to the food, so they didn't react much.

The ingredients are slightly inferior to those in Taoyuan Village, but the chef's skills are probably not bad.

But there is a difference between stir-frying and cooking in a large pot.

This doesn't taste as good as what they usually eat.

"Zihan is studying at this school too?"

Shen Yu asked a question.

They are now neighbors and are fairly familiar with Li Zihan's family.

"I felt my grades were a bit low for getting into university, so I came here."

Li Zihan answered while eating.

Couldn't get into university, so you came here?
Meng Haoran had just come back to his senses from the delicious food when he was provoked by these words.

Do you know where I came from?

Yenching University!

One of the best universities in the country.

How did it become a choice for those who couldn't get into university?
It's too Versailles!

Meng Hao quickly realized that this young girl must have an unusual background.

"Cultivating both?"

Wang Haolin asked a question.

They knew perfectly well that Li Zhuting was a third-realm martial artist.

Meiting Garden is also a second realm.

"Ok!"

Li Zihan nodded. "You can't be the same as before at this school," Mu Xiaoyan said, "or your parents will definitely beat you!"

Li Yan was wolfing down her food, but she couldn't help but look at Li Zihan with curiosity.

What was she like before?
"That's not my fault!"

Li Zihan muttered something under her breath, seemingly somewhat unconvinced.

This piqued Meng Hao's curiosity.

"What happened before?"

Li Yan couldn't help but ask out of curiosity. Her mouth was full of food, and her words were a little slurred, but Shen Yu and the others understood her.

"It's nothing. A few delinquent girls tried to bully me because I was a transfer student, but I beat them up."

Li Zihan said it casually, but Mu Xiaoyan and the others' lips twitched.

"and then?"

Li Yan then asked another question.

Students fighting?

Even for girls, this doesn't seem surprising.

Seeing the expressions on Mu Xiaoyan's and the others' faces, she knew that things were not so simple.

"Then they found a group of boys, and I beat them up too."

Li Zihan's previous nonchalance had vanished, replaced by a hint of resentment.

A bunch of slutty, cheap women actually sought a man's help.

"what!"

Li Yan was somewhat surprised this time.

She had never experienced girls fighting, but she had certainly seen it.

While it's not common for boys to bully girls, it does happen.

It's extremely rare to get beaten up by a girl.

It's rare for a girl to hit someone, let alone to be accused of hitting a group of boys.

It's not just about the girl being willing to do it; she also needs to be incredibly capable.

This little girl can take on a whole group of boys by herself?
No wonder he's a martial arts practitioner.

Amazing!
"and then?"

Meng Hao couldn't help but ask a question.

There must be more to this story, right?

Then, she became the school's leader, a new school bully, and then her parents found out.

"And then those people, lacking any sense of decency, actually called the parents?" Li Zihan said indignantly. "How dare they!"

“You beat them black and blue, and even if they don’t want to tell their parents, you can’t hide it from them,” Mu Xiaoyan said. “There’s a lot of truth to the saying ‘Don’t hit someone in the face.’”

"Did the parents contact the school?" Li Yan asked. "Are you alright?"

“What could have happened to her?” Shen Yu said with a smile. “Those parents came to the school in a huff, only to find out that their sons and their gang had gone after a little girl and then got beaten up.”

"My son was beaten. I was heartbroken and angry, but what could I say?" Tie Wei said. "We all felt ashamed, so we just let it go."

Are you really not going to investigate?
Although they lost both face and dignity, there were still some unreasonable people.

It's just that I haven't talked about it since.

Perhaps it's not about principles, but about connections.

Is it really going to just fizzle out?

Although Li Zihan is not old, she is not young either, and she knows the reason.

I used connections.

"I'll go get some more, this food is so delicious," Li Yan said. "It feels like it's almost on par with the finest cuisine at Shuxiangge and Yuelai Hotel."

“These ingredients all come from Taoyuan Village,” Tie Wei said, “They’re just not as exquisite as the fine cuisine at Yuelai Hotel and Shuxiang Pavilion.”

The same ingredients, but they use a five-star cooking method, while here they use a university cafeteria method, so naturally they are different.

"Peach Blossom Village?" Li Yan sat down again after getting up and asked, "The Peach Blossom Village that went viral online before?"

“Yes!” Shen Yu said, “If you have some free time these next couple of days, you can go and visit Taoyuan Village.”

Li Yan looked at Meng Hao and saw that he was also interested, then got up to get more food.

She quickly returned with a full plate.

“Zihan, you also live in Taoyuan Village? Judging from your accent, you don’t seem to be from Shuzhou.”

Li Yan looked at Li Zihan and asked.

She knew that Mu Xiaoyan and the others were now living in Taoyuan Village.

I hadn't really connected the Peach Blossom Village that was all the rage online with them when they mentioned it before.

“We are just staying in Taoyuan Village temporarily,” Hu Hai said. “Zihan is now a registered resident of Taoyuan Village.”

"If you want to transfer your household registration, why can't you do it?"

Li Zihan said that she didn't have much of a feeling about where her household registration was.

However, she knew a little about the backgrounds of these people.

So if they want to change their household registration, even from the city to the countryside, there is no problem.

Does the school have a bus to Taoyuan Village?

Meng Hao asked, still very curious about Peach Blossom Village.

His family also lives on a farm, and he wants to turn his hometown into a "Shangri-La".

“We need to change lanes,” Li Zihan said. “I’m going back to my hometown after I finish eating. You guys can take me there. I came here on my electric scooter.”

"Thank you!"

Upon hearing this, Li Yan immediately laughed.

"This"

Meng Hao didn't know what to say.

He clearly felt it was inconvenient.

Let alone electric bikes, even motorcycles would be very cramped if two people were riding on the back.

"I'll take the bus."

Meng Hao continued.

I did feel a little embarrassed riding on Li Zihan's electric scooter.

“It’s alright,” Li Zihan said. “I’m riding an electric tricycle with a trailer in the back. I can fold up the seat to haul goods. The seat is more than enough for the two of you.”

When Li Zihan mentioned it, Li Yan was puzzled, clearly not knowing what kind of car it was.

"Won't the traffic police arrest me?"

Meng Hao clearly knew what kind of car it was.

That kind of car is quite common in their hometown.

However, it's usually not young people who drive it, but older people.

"There's a rural road from the school to Taoyuan Village, but where are the traffic police?"

Li Zihan said dismissively.

Traffic police generally don't go to rural areas.

"We still have to welcome new students." Mu Xiaoyan said with a smile when she saw Li Yan looking at them. "You can go to Taoyuan Village this afternoon to see Huashan Mountain, and come back later after seeing the night view. You can go to the scenic area tomorrow."

There are quite a few students here today.

Since we're here, we naturally have to visit the famous Taoyuan Village.

Most of the students are young people.

However, students like Meng Hao and Li Yan are a minority.

Many of them are researchers from agricultural research institutes.

There are also quite a few graduate students.

Those currently enrolled in university are actually only a small fraction of the population.

There were only a few more people than those who were assigned to the college by the farm.

"Meng Hao, you made the right choice!"

Standing atop Flower Mountain, Li Yan gazed at the mountain covered in flowers and then spoke to Meng Hao beside her.

"Because the food in the cafeteria is good?"

Meng Hao grinned and couldn't help but tease him.

He and Li Yan were both stuffed at noon today.

"Get lost," Li Yan said. "You probably want to turn your hometown into a paradise, don't you?"

Meng Hao nodded.

His village is also beautiful, but very backward.

Nowadays, the village is mostly populated by elderly people and left-behind children.

Even his parents were working away from home.

His tuition fees couldn't be grown in the fields.

But the land in Taoyuan Village yielded not just enough to feed the people, but wealth.

On the way here, he heard a lot of information from Li Zihan.

The land in Taoyuan Village costs 500 yuan per mu.

No one wanted them there, even at fifty; countless of them were abandoned.

“Then study hard!” Li Yan said. “Now I understand what equity investment means.”

Meng Hao clearly understood at this point.

If he graduates, he will return to his hometown to start a business and help his fiancée get rich.

But what if he has no money?
That would naturally be invested in by Taoyuan Farm.
