Qiao Yadong did not chirp again and became even more silent.

However, Xiao Aiyun went back to the dormitory and found out that Tao Nanfeng and Xiangbei were in love. She was surprised and happy, and started shouting in the dormitory.

"Oh my god, how dare you fall in love with Xiang Bei? I get scared as soon as I see Mr. Xiang. My feet will go weak as long as he glares at me. He is indeed my Nanfeng!"

Seeing Tao Nanfeng smiling and saying nothing, Xiao Aiyun came up to her and asked, "Is he good to you? He won't bully you, right? He won't act like a leader in front of you, right?"

Tao Nanfeng nodded, then shook his head: "Don't worry, we are fine."

Speaking of the word "we", Tao Nanfeng felt sweet in his heart. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised, his eyebrows were curved, and his whole person was filled with joy and joy from the inside out.

Seeing such radiant Tao Nanfeng, Xiao Aiyun felt relieved, took her hand and said: "That's good, that's good. I know, Director Xiang is a very good person. I also know, you are a very good person."

Good people, if you two can get together, you will definitely be happy."

Tao Nanfeng was a little moved. He patted the back of Xiao Aiyun's hand and reassured him again: "Don't worry."

After crossing Ming Road, Tao Nanfeng and Xiang Bei met frequently in the office during the day by taking advantage of work opportunities. Tao Nanfeng would occasionally go to Xiang Bei's house for dinner. The two looked at each other affectionately, standing together like a couple.

Everyone on the farm knew that they were in love.

Even though Xiang Bei and Tao Nanfeng were not talkative people, they had endless things to say when they were alone together.

Tao Nanfeng will complain about the bullying by Feng Chun'e and Tao You, recall his mother's love for him when she was alive, and imagine building Xiufengshan Farm into the most beautiful farm in the country in the future.

Xiang Bei told her the naughty stories of his childhood, the stories of being taught a lesson by an instructor after becoming a soldier, and the battles and sacrifices of the Sharp Knife Company that he had never told anyone.

Tao Nanfeng felt sorry for Xiangbei's suffering, held his hand tightly, and comforted him: "It's okay, it's all over, you are still alive, live well on their behalf, and live their part to the fullest.

"

There was a sob in Xiang Bei's throat, which had weighed heavily on his heart and kept him awake all night. The guilt that he did not want to face a peaceful life gradually disappeared and was replaced by the energy of not admitting defeat.

Yes, cherish the present and live a wonderful life.

Xiang Bei also felt sorry for Tao Nanfeng who experienced the pain of losing his mother at a young age, and was even more angry that his stepmother was unkind and bullying Tao You. He hugged Tao Nanfeng, gently touched her thin shoulders, and said softly: "I

Mom is your mother, we all love you, and no one will bully you again."

Ever since his father divorced Feng Chun'e and Tao You changed his surname, Tao Nanfeng had let go of his bad temper. Now listening to Xiang Bei's gentle coaxing, he felt relieved and the last bit of grievance disappeared.

Liang Yinzhen and Tao Nanfeng have a mother-daughter relationship. One loves and the other loves, they are like a family.

Later, Tao Nanfeng found out that the Xiang Qian on the memorial tablet in the hall was Liang Yinzhen's daughter, who only lived for three years before she died young. Now that she saw Tao Nanfeng, she felt that her daughter was back, and he wished he could hold her in his hands and take care of her.

One lost her daughter, the other lost her mother and daughter. Liang Yinzhen and Tao Nanfeng are now very close. Liang Yinzhen made several beautiful clothes for Tao Nanfeng. Looking at her in colorful clothes, she looks more delicate than flowers, and she can't get enough of it.

.

Before Tao Nanfeng's menstrual period, Liang Yinzhen stewed black-bone chicken and red date soup for her to drink, and told her to go to bed early and get up early to keep warm. When her menstrual period came, she took the initiative to help her wash clothes and cook sweet soup, which made the girls know about green spots.

I was so envious that I felt that Tao Nanfeng had fallen into a lucky nest.

Only Qiao Yadong looked on coldly, comforting himself secretly: caring and caring is just a small thing. If men and women want to be together for a long time, they must be of the same family and have a common language.

The days passed slowly like this, and by the end of March, Xiufengshan Farm started construction.

The old health clinic has been renovated, with a brand new blue and white terrazzo floor, sky blue window frames, and beige curtains, making it look much brighter than before.

The new outpatient building was constructed according to the drawings, and everything was in order. The site was leveled, foundation trenches were excavated, rough stone foundations were built, walls were built, and lintels were installed...

According to Tao Nanfeng's idea, the farm currently does not have strong financial resources, and it is necessary to save money when building infrastructure.

Building a two-story building on a mountainous area will not only increase the width of the foundation, but also require the laying of prefabricated reinforced concrete floor slabs and stairs. If earthquake-resistant treatment is required, structural columns and ring beams must be added. In this way, cement, sand and gravel, and steel bars are required.

The number of main materials has increased sharply.

At present, the country is in short supply of steel, otherwise the use of bamboo branches instead of stirrups would not have happened last time at the provincial capital steel plant. Prefabricated reinforced concrete floor slabs have also been purchased by prefabricated factories hundreds of miles away, and the cost of one trip and two trips has greatly increased.

There is not much else on the farm now, with a lot of hilly land. Houses can be built just by leveling the slopes.

After this calculation, a one-story building is more appropriate. The two-story building proposed by Hu Huanxin is based on the impression of Jiangcheng Hospital. Jiangcheng is a big city with limited land and relatively easy to obtain building materials.

After comprehensive consideration, as soon as Tao Nanfeng's design drawings came out, everyone was amazed.

A one-story building with a "work"-shaped layout.

The front row is equivalent to the first floor of a general hospital, including the foyer, pharmacy, laboratory department, X-ray room, surgical clinic, treatment room, and operating room.

The back row is dominated by outpatient clinics, including internal medicine, ENT, pediatrics, gynecology, obstetrics and other clinics.

The front and rear rows of buildings are connected by a corridor. On both sides of the corridor are pools, flower beds, ornamental flowers and trees, stone bridges, stone chairs, pavilions and other landscape features, creating a leisure and beautiful environment.

The farm workers had never seen such a beautiful hospital before, and they couldn't help but praise it.

"How can a hospital be so beautiful? This is really my first time as a new daughter-in-law."

"Isn't that right? After the treatment, you can take a look at the view of the small bridge and flowing water. It's like visiting a park. Our farm is really nice."

"Chief Tao, your design concept is absolutely first-rate!"

Because expectations are high, farm employees now come over to take a look after get off work and ask when the new hospital will be completed.

Being stared at like this every day, the construction team of the Infrastructure Department was as motivated as if they had been given a shot of blood.

Tao Nanfeng's current amazing power is only useful when excavating foundation trenches. Her usual job is to wear a safety helmet and inspect everywhere to control safety and quality.

What she is worried about now is that Li Huilan and Wei Min have been in Jiangcheng for two months and have only sent back two telegrams, reporting that the purchase of medical equipment is going smoothly. She doesn't know what aspect this smoothness refers to.

In mid-April, I saw golden cherry trees, camellia oleifera trees in bloom, and azaleas blooming all over the mountains and plains. I didn't wait for Li Huilan to come back, but I waited for the notice of recommendation from the Workers', Peasants and Soldiers University.

The educated youth from Jiangcheng came to Xiufengshan Farm in September 1973. According to the previous requirements, they could only apply for college after three years. Now it is April 1976, and if we count enrollment in September of the same year, the application conditions are also met.

There are six Educated Youth Points in total, and each Educated Youth Point has a recommended indicator. As soon as the notice came out, intense discussions began at the No. 6 Educated Youth Point.

"Tao Nanfeng, I support Tao Nanfeng to go to college. She is popular and professional, and has made a huge contribution to the farm. This indicator should be given to her."

"Yes, I heard that our farm has a total of three recommended names this time, and it is now the primary election. If Tao Nanfeng signs up, she will definitely be able to go. In terms of ability, mass base, and contribution, who can beat her?"

Qiao Yadong didn't say a word, his eyes were lowered, and he had mixed feelings in his heart.

He knew it would be like this. As long as there was such an opportunity, Tao Nanfeng would definitely be in the front. She was indeed excellent and had indeed made a great contribution to the construction of the farm. Moreover, she was also the girlfriend of the farm director.

I just want to see if Xiang Bei is willing to let her go to college.

Qiao Yadong admitted that he was a little selfish in this regard. He even thought that Xiangbei had a low level of education. How could he be so generous and willing to send his girlfriend out to see the world?

Once a girl goes to college, sees a new world, and broadens her horizons, how can she be willing to return to this hard-working farm and stay with a farmer's son for the rest of her life?

Everyone unanimously recommended Tao Nanfeng, but Tao Nanfeng waved his hand.

"It is estimated that the farm hospital will not be built in September. After the hospital is built, I will build a middle school. There are so many things to do, how can I have time to go to college? I recommend monitor Qiao. He has excellent academic performance in the past. He has been working hard since he became the monitor of the educated youth spot, and

... He always wanted to go to college."

After finishing his sentence, Qiao Yadong slowly raised his head.

There was no expression on his face, but there was a storm brewing in his heart.

Tao Nanfeng, how come...you have such magnanimity and magnanimity!

His mother once said that if someone doesn't do what he wants, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Unless his parents, anyone can betray him. However, Tao Nanfeng broke through his mother's definition of human nature.

She was willing to give up such a good opportunity to study in college to herself!

I once annoyed her, and for a long time she didn't treat me very much, and her attitude was cold and indifferent.

He once confessed his love and was rejected by her. At that time, she expressed her serious stance and asked him to sort out his feelings and not cross the line.

However, she now gave herself the opportunity to go to college.

She said he had always wanted to go to college.

Qiao Yadong's eyes were a little hot, and a sour and bitter emotion came over him. He stared at Tao Nanfeng blankly without saying a word.

Facing Tao Nanfeng like this, Qiao Yadong felt a deep sense of shame for the first time in his heart.

This shame was as profound as a sharp knife, cutting through all his disguises.

This shame was as hot as a pot of hot oil, scorching his despicable soul.

Compared to Tao Nanfeng, Qiao Yadong felt like he was nothing.

Tao Nanfeng is the warm sun in winter, but he is an ice edge hanging under the eaves in winter.

The ice edges look crystal clear, but they are actually the condensation of dirty water flowing down from the roof. As soon as the sun rises, the ticking sounds flow, drop by drop, into the gutter on the ground, and no trace can be found again.

Why don't you dare to admit your feelings and express your feelings bravely? Isn't it because you think Tao Nanfeng is too good and you are afraid that you won't have the opportunity to go to college?

However, Tao Nanfeng dared to face his own emotions and fell in love with Xiangbei regardless of worldly views. He never considered that this might tie him to the farm and never return to the city.

Everyone praises Qiao Yadong for his enthusiasm, generosity and eagerness to help others, but in his own mind, he is like a mirror. This is just a means to gain a mass base, in order to use this poor and hard-working farm as a springboard to strive to study as a worker and peasant in three years.

Military University.

But Tao Nanfeng is not like this. She is kind and gentle, has compassion for the poor, and wants to help everyone from the bottom of her heart.

She worked hard to build the farm with her own hands, and worked with everyone to build houses, roads, primary schools, and hospitals. She sprinkled the sweat of her youth on this barren land, truly integrating with workers and farmers, and blazing a glorious road.

Compared with Tao Nanfeng, Qiao Yadong felt that he was weak and hypocritical.

He couldn't sit still anymore.

Qiao Yadong stood up and bowed deeply to Tao Nanfeng, his voice trembling: "Yes, I really want to go to college. I have been waiting for this opportunity since the day I came to the farm. In this regard, I am not as good as Tao Nanfeng."
