Chapter 219 Winter Arrangements

The biting cold wind swept across Saihanba like a knife.

Feng Cheng accepted the winter preparation plan handed to him by Xia Tian with both hands, his rough fingertips rubbing the paper.

His gaze quickly swept over the dense text on it.

Soon, this winter plan was passed around among everyone.

Before long, everyone had finished reading Xia Tian's meticulously planned winter preparations.

"Please feel free to share any opinions or suggestions you may have!"

The sounds of summer are especially clear in the cool air.

He looked at the schedule that had returned to his hands.

His gaze slowly swept over everyone present, his eyes filled with expectation and concern.

Da Kui scratched his head, a hint of doubt appearing on his honest face, and spoke first.

"Commander Xia, I understand the importance of strengthening physical exercise."

"But what exactly is this business training about?"

His question was like a pebble thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples.

All eyes turned to Xia Tian.

Xia Tian smiled slightly, his gaze gentle yet firm, his voice steady and powerful.

"The main purpose of the business training is to help everyone expand their knowledge."

"After all, one is never too old to learn!"

"What I mean is to hold knowledge enhancement classes in Bashang so that everyone can learn from each other."

"For example, Comrade Xuemei and Comrade Mengyue can explain seedling cultivation knowledge to everyone."

“Seedling cultivation in Saihanba is the foundation of our afforestation efforts.”

"Comrades Sui Zhichao and Shen Mengyin can explain knowledge about pests and diseases to everyone."

Although people may not need pest and disease related products in the next few years.

"But there's never a bad thing to learn more!"

"Let's all learn from each other's strengths and make up for our weaknesses, and strive for all-round progress."

Xia Tian methodically explained the general content of the business training to everyone present.

Qin Xuemei's eyes lit up, sparkling with excitement, and she was the first to agree.

"Commander Xia's idea is excellent!"

"Since we're idle anyway in winter, we might as well make use of our free time."

"Learning more knowledge will give me more confidence when I work in the future."

Meng Yue nodded in agreement, her expression resolute.

"Yes, I agree with Xuemei's opinion. We should use our spare time to improve ourselves."

"Although conditions in Saihanba are harsh, we can't afford to fall behind in these difficult circumstances, can we?"

"I agree with Commander Xia's opinion."

"Having been in Bashang for the past few months, I've almost forgotten what I studied, haven't I?"

"Perfect timing, I'll take this opportunity to solidify my professional knowledge."

Sui Zhichao then spoke.

Everyone echoed in agreement, and for a moment, voices of approval rose and fell.

"Since everyone agrees, then it's settled on the business training!"

"If anyone has any good ideas, please feel free to share them!"

Xia Tian looked at everyone, her heart filled with satisfaction.

He knew that once everyone's enthusiasm was mobilized, it would generate tremendous power.

Then everyone started asking a bunch of questions.

Summer patiently answered everyone's questions one by one.

"Alright, since there are no further questions, the university students can leave now."

"The advance team members, please stay behind!"

The sounds of summer broke the brief respite of the hustle and bustle.

Upon hearing this, the university students all got up and left.

The canteen gradually quieted down, leaving only Xia Tian, ​​Feng Cheng, and the four members of the advance team.

The dim lighting in the cafeteria illuminated their resolute faces.

"Do you know why I kept everyone here?"

Xia Tian looked at everyone present, a hint of anticipation in her eyes.

"do not know!"

Everyone shook their heads upon hearing Xia Tian's words, their faces filled with confusion.

Their eyes held both curiosity about the unknown and trust in Xia Tian's arrangements.

"Regarding professional development, does anyone have anything to say?"

Seeing that everyone was shaking their heads, Xia Tian took the initiative to ask a question.

"Engineer Xia, I do have a question!"

Wei Fugui spoke somewhat shyly, his face slightly flushed.

"We're all completely clueless about this kind of business training!"

His words carried a hint of helplessness and inferiority, and his voice revealed a lack of confidence in his own abilities.

Xia Tian glanced at Wei Fugui, then at the others.

"If you don't know how, you can learn."

"This business training is designed to help everyone improve themselves and acquire more skills."

"You know, a forest farm will be built in Saihanba sooner or later."

"After the forest farm is established, it will definitely need technical backbones."

"I hope that everyone here can become a pillar of the forest farm after its establishment."

"But to become a pillar of society, you need to master at least one skill, don't you all agree?"

Zhao Tianshan's eyes lit up slightly as he listened to Xia Tian's words.

He seemed to understand something, and a glint of realization flashed in his eyes.

"Commander Xia, can we really do this?"

Listening to Xia Tian's words, Da Yong asked a question with some uncertainty.

Xia Tian listened to Da Yong's words and continued earnestly.

“Last year, our advance team held literacy classes, and everyone did well.”

"So I hope that you can take advantage of this opportunity this year as well."

"Let's take advantage of this opportunity to learn from each other and improve ourselves."

"Do you have confidence?"

The sound of summer is full of encouragement and trust, as if it is conveying a continuous source of strength to everyone.

"Understood, Engineer Xia!"

No one present was stupid; upon hearing Xia Tian's words, they understood her good intentions.

Their eyes gradually ignited with fighting spirit and determination.

"Alright, since there are no problems, everyone go back and rest!"

Xia Tian smiled at everyone and told them to leave on their own.

His smile reflected both his expectations for everyone's growth and his confidence in the future.

The reason why summer favors the advance team so much.

They also have their own little schemes.

The advance team consisted of Xia Tian's core group.

Summer has been consciously nurturing them, enabling them to become as independent as possible.

After all, the people in the advance team were the ones who had been with Xia Tian the longest and were absolutely obedient to his orders.

More importantly, Xia Tian knew them inside and out, understanding each of their strengths and weaknesses.

As Xia Tian watched the departing figures of the crowd, a sense of anticipation began to stir within her.

In the near future, when the forest farm rises from the ground...

The advance team members are better able to contribute to the forest farm.

As long as they are ambitious, Xia Tian will definitely give everyone in the advance team a bright future.

Time flows quietly across the vast land of Saihanba.

Like a silent traveler, it quietly records every story here.

In the blink of an eye, several days have passed since the last meeting.

These past few days, the cold winds have continued to howl over the dam.

The wind was like a tireless beast, rampaging across the wasteland, roaring incessantly.

Fortunately, it didn't snow again.

The snow that fell last time shimmered dazzlingly in the sunlight.

It was like a silver ocean, so dazzling it hurt your eyes.

These past few days, Wei Fugui has been busy until late at night every day.

It was all for grinding soybeans and making sesame paste for Ji Xiurong.

Under Wei Fugui's special care, Ji Xiurong's health gradually recovered.

The face, which was once as pale as paper, is now gradually regaining color.

Like the earth gradually warming up in winter, it regains its vitality.

I can also eat some other whole grains now, and I'm no longer as weak and powerless as before.

That morning, sunlight streamed through the cracks in the cafeteria windows, casting beams of golden light.

Everyone gathered together to eat breakfast.

Ji Xiurong has almost fully recovered, so she sat down at the dining table with everyone.

Wei Fugui carried another bowl of sesame paste, his steps light yet cautious.

He slowly walked to Ji Xiurong's side, a kind smile on his face, and began to speak.

"Xiao Ji, this is the sesame paste I made for you. Drink it while it's hot!"

The tone was gentle and tender, like someone giving instructions to their own child.

Looking at the sesame paste that Wei Fugui had placed on the table, Ji Xiurong's eyes reddened slightly.

She picked up the sesame paste, stood up, and walked to the middle of the cafeteria.

With a sincere smile on his face, he addressed the crowd.

"Comrades, Chef Wei is giving me special treatment."

"It's been ten days now, and my stomach is completely healed."

"I can't be a special case anymore!"

"This sesame paste was the most delicious thing I ate when I was a child."

"Let's all have a taste of this today, one spoonful each."

"Anyone who doesn't eat is disrespecting me."

Then Ji Xiurong glanced at Wei Fugui behind her, walked up to Qin Xuemei, and said with a smile,

"Girls first!"

Then he handed the bowl to Qin Xuemei.

"Xiu Rong, why don't you eat it?"

Qin Xuemei smiled and refused the sesame paste that Ji Xiurong offered.

"Xuemei, set an example for everyone!"

Hearing Ji Xiurong's words, Qin Xuemei did not refuse again.

Pick up the spoon and gently scoop a spoonful of sesame paste from the bowl.

Then came Meng Yue and Shen Mengyin, who each scooped out a spoonful.

Meng Yue ate very attentively, savoring the rare delicacy. After finishing, she even licked the spoon with lingering relish.

Shen Mengyin ate very politely, with a slight upturn at the corners of her mouth and her eyes full of smiles.

Then Ji Xiurong approached Xia Tian and respectfully said,

"Commander Xia, thank you for taking care of me during my illness."

Xia Tian smiled and accepted the bowl that Ji Xiurong handed her.

Then came Sui Zhichao and Na Da Kui.

"Captain, Technician Feng, you should try some too!"

Then Ji Xiurong carried the bowl to Zhao Tianshan and Feng Cheng's side.

Zhao Tianshan took the bowl first and then took a sip from it.

He smacked his lips, looked at Lao Wei, and praised him with a smile.

"It tastes great, Lao Wei, your cooking is pretty good!"

Then he handed the bowl to Feng Cheng, who also took a bite from the bowl.

A look of surprise appeared on her face, and she handed the bowl to Dayong.

After Da Yong tried it, Xiao Huang took it from him.

After everyone tasted it, their faces were filled with happy smiles.
