Reborn as a Superpower Girl in the 80s
Chapter 517 Glory for the School

After ten days, she participated in the local preliminary competition. Luo Qiao didn’t intentionally hide her abilities because this was the only way she could repay her school at the moment. The school had high expectations of her, and she didn’t want to disappoint them.

When the results came out, Principal Li Wenqing was thrilled to pieces. Out of the ten students the Capital City No. 1 Middle School had sent, five had made it into the semi-finals and would travel to the provincial capital for the competition in three days.

In the following two days, the two teachers took a day to review knowledge points with the students who had entered the semi-finals and allowed everyone to relax freely on the other day. On the third day, they traveled by car with the team leader to the provincial capital.

After arriving in the provincial capital, they met up with five other students from Ji City who had also reached the semi-finals, and then they checked into a guesthouse closest to the competition venue. The team leader told the students to rest well that afternoon.

Early the next morning, Luo Qiao got ready and heard a teacher knocking at the door outside. After breakfast with the team leader, the teacher reminded the students of things to pay attention to.

Looking at the people entering the venue, there must have been at least a hundred, but only ten would advance to the finals. Luo Qiao noticed some students were so nervous that they were sweating on their foreheads.

After entering the examination hall and receiving the paper, she glanced over the types of questions before seriously starting on them.

After the exam, they took a car back to Ji City that afternoon. Some students had wanted to tour the provincial capital a bit, but the team leader didn’t dare agree as they needed to ensure the students’ safe return.

Luo Qiao had already told Teacher Ge in advance that she wouldn’t go back to school after the exam.

Hu Dongxiong and his team were quite impressive, as in just under two months, they had pulled strings to purchase a piece of land on the eastern side of Ji City, with a mountain behind it and a river alongside.

Since the land was somewhat barren and far from nearby villages, it had been left fallow all this time, but Luo Qiao saw its potential. She instructed Hu Dongxiong’s team to contact a few construction sites in the city that were building new projects and asked for the surplus soil from their excavations.

Standing on the land again, Luo Qiao saw a scene that was radically different from before. The two hundred acres of sloped land above had been padded with a thirty-centimeter thick layer of soil, and all of it had been cleaned up and planted with various fruit tree saplings provided by Luo Qiao.

The three hundred acres of flat land below had also been padded with thirty to forty centimeters of soil and was now being organized. At the forefront, thirty acres were starting to be outfitted with greenhouses, ready for planting off-season vegetables and cultivating flower seedlings. Luo Qiao instructed them to quickly prepare the rest of the land for planting winter wheat.

Luo Qiao thought to herself that it was only the year 1981, and the era of real estate was still a few years in the future. Besides, she didn’t understand much about it and thought it better to find knowledgeable people to invest with and reap the dividends when the time came.

With her Special Ability, farming was her strength. Although in her last life she had been a freeloader, she still had theoretical knowledge and insight. So, she considered her current task to be acquiring some land around major cities.

She planned to establish flower bases and fruit and vegetable plantations, gradually transitioning to agritourism, developing tourism, or even turning them into resorts in the future. Therefore, when choosing locations, she sought those with mountains and water, the more scenic the better.

The flower base near Ji City was already in its initial stages of completion, with Zhou Zhentao left in charge. The others headed to the outskirts of Shanghai and Beijing to look for suitable land.

When Luo Qiao had nothing else to do, she would write novels in her space. Her third novel was about to be finished when she received a notification from Teacher Ge that three students from Ji City, including herself, had entered the finals.

They were to go to the provincial capital for unified training tomorrow afternoon and then head to Capital City together for the finals. As the first-place winner of the semi-finals, she had brought honor to her school. The province rewarded her three hundred yuan, the city gave two hundred yuan, and the school awarded one hundred yuan, making everyone envious.

Yao Shuangshuang, the younger daughter of the Yao Family, returned home excitedly after school that day.

Wu Peiling was in the yard picking up dried radishes, preparing to pickle them in the afternoon when she saw her daughter rushing in, all full of energy.

Before she could ask, her daughter said, "Mom, Mom, I have something to tell you. Sister Luo Qiao is going to Capital City to represent our province in the mathematics competition."
