Chapter 316: Chapter 36 Striving for a Kiss_1

For the following days, Yan Fei made the Agricultural University library his regular haunt.

Miss Xu Xiaoyan had classes to attend, so the only time they could share was mealtime, after which she would accompany him to the library for a while.

What left Yan Fei feeling rather helpless was that this certain classmate, Zhang Haiyang, was truly persistent. He simply had to be at the library every day keeping an eye on Yan Fei, tailing around Xu Xiaoyan like a faithful puppy.

After three full days, Yan Fei was at his limit. He couldn’t stand it any more. His wife had offered a reward, hinted at on the first day, but he had almost no chance from then on to cash in. Any man would struggle to keep his patience!

Seeing that Xu Xiaoyan was counting down the days before Yan Fei would need to return home for the start of the village school year, he finally lost his patience after returning from the library one evening.

To the Little Dark-skinned Girl, he said: "What’s the point of watching me like that? I’m learning about rearing cattle, and about greenhouse farming. In your barren, birdless, and poopless land, is there fodder for cattle? Can you grow vegetables? Even if you took all these books home, it wouldn’t help!"

You can’t blame him for being blunt. In his heart, he had already bestowed a nickname upon the girl: the Little Dark-skinned Girl. He figured he was being quite polite in not actually calling her this out loud.

Every time he’d drop Xu Xiaoyan off for her classes, once they were in a less crowded area, she’d find amusement from her lover’s frustrated appearance, not to mention their little tail. Xu Xiaoyan’s eyes expressed the charm of a mischievous woman, making Yan Fei wish he was a dinosaur so he could gobble up the annoying Little Dark-skinned Girl standing behind them.

He was just silently giving her a nickname, couldn’t she give him some peace in return?

Upon hearing Yan Fei say these things, the Little Dark Skinned Girl thought about it for a second. Her eyes that were always full of life suddenly dimmed. It took her a while to mumble the counter: "Our place isn’t as bad as you say it is!"

During the last few days at the library, Yan Fei had taken the chance to understand what desertification is.

He felt that such a situation was like the environment at the edge of the ring lake in the dinosaur world. There are plenty of rocks but less soil. The difference is that there’s a large lake next to the dinosaur world. Even with limited soil, small trees can still grow. However, in areas with serious desertification, there’s no vegetation at all.

The condition in Little Dark-skinned Girl’s hometown wasn’t as bad as no grass growing at all, otherwise they’d either have to move or die of starvation.

"Yan Xiaofei, why can’t you express your thoughts nicely? Why do you have to speak ill of someone’s hometown..." Xu Xiaoyan couldn’t bear seeing the Little Dark-skinned Girl sad by Yan Fei’s words. While scolding him verbally, she started to tickle his palm.

"I didn’t say anything wrong! I mean....if you want to make money...you need to adapt your strategies according to local conditions, right?" Yan Fei felt that his time at the library hadn’t been in vain; even his way of speaking had improved. "Their situation isn’t comparable to ours. She won’t gain anything by following us."

"So, what should we do in our situation?" After being silent for a long time, upon hearing his words, the Little Dark-skinned Girl mustered up the courage and asked him.

"How would I know what your place is like? People take years to turn deserts green again, and even a cadre worked himself to death. There’s no way to change the situation in your place in the blink of an eye. Unless you..."

"Unless what?" The Little Dark-skinned Girl had already been disappointed by what Yan Fei had said. But when she heard his last few words, she perked up and stared at him.

Yan Fei hesitated for a moment.

"Hurry up and talk! Don’t you usually have a lot of tricks up your sleeve?" Upon seeing Yan Fei stumble over his words, Xu Xiaoyan urged him on.

What good solution could Yan Fei possibly have? Just a couple of days in the library gave him a bit more experience. Seeing the two women staring at him wide-eyed, he murmured, "Unless she can earn money first and feed everyone properly, only then can we take other things step by step!"

"That’s why I’m following you to learn how to make money!" The Little Dark-skinned Girl said, widening her innocent eyes. It made Yan Fei realize that against a stubborn person, you could perform the Seventy-two changes, yet nothing would change at all!

"What I’m doing isn’t suitable for your place, you should think about what is suitable for you guys. Our local yellow cattle are famous, they’ve been in biology textbooks! What do you guys have?"

"We have nothing!" The look in the Little Dark-skinned Girl’s eyes dimmed further. As she uttered these words, it seemed as if she had drained all her energy.

"How can it be nothing? You’re still able to attend university and the people there haven’t starved. There must be something, right?" Yan Fei asked with considerable patience.

There was no other choice! In future, when he visits his wife, he wouldn’t be accompanied by a little tail, giving him the chance to be lovey-dovey with her. With this thought, he put all his patience into action.

"We can grow corn and peanuts in our place, but the yield isn’t high. Apart from these, we also have wheat, but we can’t grow much else," the Little Dark-skinned Girl said, sounding pretty hopeless.

Yan Fei didn’t know what to say.

Shangding province is definitely an agricultural powerhouse. These three crops are found everywhere in the province, and any random place in the province probably has a higher yield than the Little Dark-skinned Girl’s hometown.

As the Little Dark-skinned Girl watched him with her big eyes, Yan Fei racked his brain and finally had an idea: "You can sell cooked peanuts and popcorn, right?"

It was only because he had been accompanying his little brother around the streets before the summer vacation that he noticed the wide variety of street food. Recently, he had also seen a delicacy called ’popping back five times’ being sold, even crabs and other seafood were being sold to children, so this idea must work.

As he spoke, his eyes scanned a small food stall not too far away, and he felt his idea would definitely work.

"Huh? Who will we sell these things to?" The Little Dark-skinned Girl felt confused. These things were everywhere in their province, so who would buy them?

"Sell them here!" Yan Fei said, gesturing around him. "Look, it’s late, and there are still so many people in the street! If you make these foods and bring them here to sell, you can definitely sell them. Look over there, people are eating sweet potatoes, which even the pigs in our house wouldn’t eat! What could they possibly not sell?"

He originally wanted to add that even roasted cow dung would be eaten by people if cooked well. His voice was a bit loud before, and a pair of girls over there eating baked potatoes had given him a killer glare. He decided not to say it out loud.

Just now, it was him who saw those two girls buying baked sweet potatoes, and he thought the idea he had mentioned was going to work, which gave him the confidence, so he wouldn’t care about their ’vicious’ eyes.
