Chapter 605: Chapter 269: Giving You a Piece of Land_1

"Quick, hand me the beeper!" As soon as Wang Jiuming dropped them off at the school gate and drove away, Xu Xiaoyan reached out her hand towards Yan Fei.

"It’s just a little beeper, look how excited you are. Here, you can have it!" Yan Fei casually handed the beeper to the girl.

"I don’t want it! I’ve just seen some of our classmates carrying one and I was curious. I felt too embarrassed to look at theirs, so now I can look at ours, hehe..." The girl was merrily holding the beeper. "This is a brand name! It has a clip so you can wear it on your belt. From now on, just keep it on you! Whenever I need anything, I’ll beep you and you better reply quickly..."

"Well, I’d need to have a belt first..." Yan Fei replied with an embarrassed face.

The girl gave him a look, suddenly understood his embarrassment and burst into laughter.

This guy only dresses up when going out. Usually, he’s alone at home and has to frequently change clothes, the more he wears, the more cumbersome it feels. He wishes he could run around without clothes every day. Even his pants have been modified by Lin Yumei, most of them using elastic bands. Most of the time he’s too lazy to even use a belt, so he probably wouldn’t wear the beeper on his waist much.

"Never mind, you should just put it in your bag! Since you love carrying around that old bag. You can turn the volume up a bit, or not. As long as it rings, your ears will definitely hear it." The girl said, pressing a few buttons on the beeper, the little device immediately started vibrating and screaming.

After pressing a few more times, it stopped vibrating, only continuing to scream.

Many students on campus looked on with envy at the girl, who was thoroughly enjoying herself. Although a lot of people now own Old School Mobile Phones, beepers were still considered a luxury. Not only in the campus, but also in the society at large—this little thing cost almost a thousand yuan, and the annual fee was two to three hundred yuan, which most people really can’t afford.

"How about I buy one for you too! Anyway, we’ll have plenty of money soon." Seeing that the girl liked it, Yan Fei suggested.

"No, what’s the point of carrying this while studying, we have public telephones now. I can just buy a phone card, and call you anytime I want. Oh..." The girl was talking, but suddenly let out a cry of surprise.

"What’s wrong?" Yan Fei was startled and quickly asked.

"Look, there are telephones inside the school! We must have them in our school too, right? Then I wouldn’t need to leave school to call you!" The girl pointed to a small plaza they were passing by.

There, several students were holding phone cards, lining up to make calls!

"It would be nice if there were phones installed on the side of the road in Sancha River too, preferably installed at the front of the cattle ranch, then I wouldn’t have to run around to use the phone!" Yan Fei said wistfully.

Now, he’s not worried about the cost of installing a phone, he just finds it troublesome. Applying for a phone in the town involves a lot of red tape. It’s not something that gets installed the moment you apply, it’s quite a hassle.

"Keep dreaming! Even if they do install phones on the street, they’re not going to install it at the front of the cattle ranch. There’s nobody there..." The girl despised his wishful thinking.

By the time they arrived at Professor He’s house, the two old men were, as usual, engrossed in their game of ’square occupation’. The girl was awestruck by the two old men and sat there, engrossed in watching them play. It wasn’t until Professor Qi spoke that she returned to her senses, exclaiming, "What? He’s giving us a piece of land to build a house?"

Even Yan Fei was startled, looking at Professor Qi in surprise. Professor He, seeing their astonishment, chuckled, "When you gave Old Qi the seeds last time, he said he wanted to thank you. Then he fell ill, and things were delayed. Now he owes you such a big favour; if this favour is not repaid, how can he sleep at night..."

No wonder they were surprised. When Yan Fei handed his resident book to Professor Qi, asking what it was for, Professor Qi suddenly said he wanted to give him a piece of land. And it was a piece of land by the road near the experimental field.

This is in the Provincial City!

That piece of land was definitely not the same as the beeper worth a thousand or so that Wang Jiuming gave him, it must be worth tens of thousands, right? Professor Qi mentioned it so casually, as if he was just giving his neighbor a couple of scallions to cook with!

"Don’t be shy about what we give you, just remember not to forget him when there are good things in the future!" Professor He continued to speak. "The school is building a new dormitory now, and Old Qi has exchanged the house allocated to himself for two acres of land, which should be enough for you to build a house, right? Little Yan, you’ve got quite a bargain. Although the place is a bit remote, it’s not far from the zoo, so you two won’t run out of places to play..."

"Originally, I wanted to build it for you, but as a poor teacher, I can’t afford to build a house, so I just give you the land and you build it yourself! That’s all I can do, I can’t give you more!" Professor Qi laughed on the side. "If it wasn’t for the inconvenience of you two living in the new dormitory building, I would have waited for the house to be built and given it to you directly. However, this is not bad either, that plot is not far from this school area, so if you come to school in the future, the commute will be quite convenient."

Yan Fei and his partner were simply speechless. To be honest, they didn’t expect anything in return for helping Professor Qi. The initial seeding was purely because Yan Fei felt that he had such a big dinosaur world, so he did a good deed. To him, it was no big deal, just like bragging about picking up a penny and giving it to a policeman in a primary school composition.

It was only later that they sent the wine which actually saved a life, but that was purely by chance.

As the two were hesitating, Granny He interjected: "You two must not think about declining, Old Qi’s temper can’t stand to owe people a favor, it’s harder on him than taking his life. He has dedicated his life to that wheat field, this illness almost took his life, without your help, he wouldn’t be able to see that wheat field again. You tell me, doesn’t he need to thank you?"

Professor He joked with Yan Fei: "You two just happened to be there, the fellow has fulfilled his final wish thanks to you. Your little plan, now satisfied? There’s enough land to grow some vegetables after the house is built, so you’ll save on grocery bills in the future. What are you still in a daze for? Shouldn’t you thank them?"

"What do you mean thank you? It’s prepared for him, the land has already been transferred to my name. You two just have to come over tomorrow if you are free and go through some procedures." Professor Qi said casually, his tone relaxed.

It seems that giving a gift really makes one feel good.

"Then we’ll come over again tomorrow morning, thank you, Professor Qi!" Yan Fei nodded decisively. "I plan to apply for the Agricultural University in a couple of years. This place is surprisingly close!"

The two didn’t say much from beginning to end, the three elderly people had already made the decision for them, and it was clear that the decision had been made a long time ago. It would be useless to say anything now, so they just kept quiet.

That large piece of land for the experimental field was vast, this place was by the North Ring Road, it’s not a busy area. If you calculate the price, it might only be tens of thousands of dollars. But of course, without Professor Qi, he definitely wouldn’t be able to buy it. It’s not private land, not anyone with money can buy it.

Although it seemed desolate, it was actually only a few kilometers away from the school. But perhaps it was people’s habit. Cultural Road in the Provincial City was quite lively, especially the west side where several university campuses were located. However, there was not much on the east side except for a broken technology market.

If you go down the road past the technology market, there are quite a few farmlands and vegetable fields. If you go further in that direction, there are almost no people. Even the number of buses is quite small, there is no direct turn from the Agricultural University, only one bus from Xu Xiaoyan’s school goes through that section of the road, but there is not even a bus stop in the middle, it goes all the way to the intersection.

Although it felt a bit remote, Yan Fei was quite satisfied. He took a liking to that place right from the start. Being a bit out of the way is quiet, with fewer cars and people. More importantly, it was inside the North Ring Road and there was a distance from it, so living there also gave a sense of security.

"The place is by the road, the access is also convenient. But if you want to face the road, you will have to build a house facing west. You two design it tonight, tomorrow I will let someone from the school take you to complete the paperwork, and get the building permit and all. It saves you the trouble of finding the place by yourself." Professor Qi disregarded Yan Fei’s words about applying to the Agricultural University, probably thinking that he should go to the Agricultural University. "If it doesn’t work out tomorrow, you can wait a couple of days, no rush."

"It will be enough, such a big place, of course, build some large houses. The main door opens to the west, and the house is oriented from north to south. I find tile houses more comfortable than buildings, build a chicken coop and a doghouse, keep some hens for eggs. On normal school days, keep a few dogs in the yard to guard the house." Yan Fei blurted out.

"Hahaha..." Professor He laughed upon hearing these words, pointing at Professor Qi and Yan Fei, almost out of breath from laughing. "No wonder you two didn’t interact much, I always felt you two would get along! You little fellow and Old Qi are thinking alike, he has been muttering about not liking to live in buildings, saying that they are uncomfortable. He only stays on the ground floor, saying it grounds him..."

"Then I will build a few more rooms, so Professor Qi can live there in the future. After all, it’s such a big place, it’s no fun if there are few people." Yan Fei casually said.

Professor Qi seemed obviously interested in hearing this, but soon waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. Why should I, an old man, go live where you young people are?"

"We’ll talk about it after the house is built, you might want to go by then." Yan Fei began to imagine. "It’s quiet there, and we can plant trees and vegetables in the yard, it would be beautiful..."

"Go, go, you just tidy up, anyway, it’s your place from now on." Professor Qi said with a smiling face.
