Chapter 421 Brainless Tang Qi
In 1965, after nearly five years of development, Saihanba Forest Farm had become the largest forest farm in the mainland. Representatives from Saihanba Forest Farm were always present at every commendation meeting of the forestry department.

It’s just that Suning doesn’t like to be in the spotlight, so he always asks his wife, Qin Xuemei, who is now the deputy technical section chief of Saihanba Forest Farm, to attend. Now the forest farm has become a gold signboard, so many forestry college students will sign up to work in Saihanba Forest Farm.

Qu He has now completely lost his temper with Suning. Not only is Suning technically proficient, but he is also very low-key in his work. He almost never attends any commendation conferences, and always leaves the responsibility to other newcomers. Of course, he leaves more of it to Suning's wife Qin Xuemei, but it is also because Qin Xuemei has the ability.

"Xuemei, there are more technicians in the forestry technical department now. Should we resign and leave?"

"Ah? Why so sudden?" Qin Xuemei looked at Su Ning in surprise.

"Xuemei, it's not sudden at all. We should give the opportunity to the young people and return to Lijia Village to plant trees in peace." Su Ning didn't explain too much. Not only was he sensitive, but Qin Xuemei didn't necessarily believe him. "Now that Lijia Village has built a tall fire watchtower, my husband and I can work part-time as fire watchers."

"That's fine! We've been married for four or five years and still haven't had a child." After hearing Suning's arrangement, Qin Xuemei also wanted to let it go. "It's a good opportunity to put aside my work in the technical department and try to focus on preparing for pregnancy."

In the past few years of marriage, Su Ning and Qin Xuemei have not had children. One reason is that they are too busy with work. Another reason is that neither of them wants to have children so early. It is just right that they can put aside all work and devote themselves to preparing for pregnancy.

Yu Zhenglai and Qu He felt mixed emotions when they saw Suning and Qin Xuemei coming together to submit their resignation letters. Now Qu He was completely subdued by Suning.

"Feng Cheng, why are you talking about resigning again?" Yu Zhenglai looked at Su Ning with a frown, "And you're bringing Qin Xuemei with you. Our Saihanba Forest Farm can't do without you."

"Director Yu, our Saihanba Forest Farm is already on the right track, and our technical staff has grown. It's time for Qin Xuemei and I to retire," Su Ning said disapprovingly. He was really worried that he would be overthrown one day, after all, he still had a "psychotic" ex-girlfriend. "Also, we should leave more opportunities for young people. Only in this way can our Saihanba Forest Farm become more attractive."

Thinking about Tang Qi in the original drama, it was really a bit puzzling. Not only did she go to Hong Kong by herself, but she actually received a letter from overseas at the most sensitive time. The effect was to push herself to death.

"This"

"Director Yu, Director Qu, I want to resolve Zhao Tianshan's matter before I leave."

"what?"

"Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling have done a great job at the Lijia Village Nursery over the past few years. I'm sure you've all seen it." Suning knew Zhao Tianshan had always longed to return to the Saihanba Forest Farm, so he had to resolve this matter before leaving. "After all these years, you should be able to accept him again, right? After all, Zhao Tianshan is a war hero."

"Okay! I agree that Zhao Tianshan can rejoin the team." Yu Zhenglai agreed with the final word.

Qu He on the side wanted to say something, but when he looked at Suning in front of him and heard Yu Zheng's final decision, he could only stop talking.

"Well, after Qin Xuemei and I left, Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling, who also have rich experience, returned. This can be regarded as a guarantee for the Saihanba Forest Farm."

The news of Suning and Qin Xuemei's resignation completely ignited public opinion in the Saihanba Forest Farm. This was the highlight moment for Suning and Qin Xuemei in the Saihanba Forest Farm, and there was really no reason for them to resign voluntarily.

Suning and Qin Xuemei often use the benefits distributed by the forest farm to reward technicians with outstanding skills and hard work. Therefore, everyone in the Saihanba Forest Farm loves Suning and Qin Xuemei very much, and they all come out spontaneously to see them off.

Carrying their personal belongings, Suning and Qin Xuemei got on the carriage driven by Uncle Liu himself, and headed directly to Lijia Village under the watchful eyes of their colleagues from the forest farm.

Now Li Tieniu has also started working at the Saihanba Forest Farm as a formal blacksmith. The forest farm has also allocated a dormitory for Li Tieniu, so the house and land in Lijia Village were given to Suning, and the forest farm also built a high-standard fire watchtower in Lijia Village.

"Feng Cheng, are you really leaving this time?" Uncle Liu looked at Su Ning with a complicated expression.

"Yes! The current situation is that the moon is full and then it will wane, and the water is full and then it will overflow. It is safer to retreat early." Suning was not prepared to hide anything from Uncle Liu who really cared about him.

"Hey! You have too many ideas, kid."

"Uncle Liu, the main reason is that Xuemei and I have been married for so many years and still have no children, so it's time to leave the forest farm and live our own lives."

"Well, that's true!" Uncle Liu could accept this reason.

Returning to Lijia Village again, Suning and Qin Xuemei found that there were even fewer people here. The young and middle-aged people in the village had all gone to the Saihanba Forest Farm to work as formal workers, and the rest were just elderly people.

"Feng Cheng, Qin Xuemei, I heard that you both resigned?" Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling ran out to greet the Suning couple.

"Yes! I have good news for you. Saihanba Forest Farm has agreed to let you return to the team."

"Feng Cheng, I don't want to go back." Zhao Tianshan didn't show the surprise Su Ning had expected. Instead, he shook his head and explained, "Zhang Manling and I have already discussed it. She will also resign from the Saihanba Forest Farm and settle down in Lijia Village."

"This..." Su Ning and Qin Xuemei looked at each other in surprise, and then Su Ning couldn't help but confirm it again, "Zhao Tianshan, you have to think it over carefully. It will be impossible for you to go back in the future."

"Feng Cheng, Qin Xuemei, we've already made up our minds." Zhao Tianshan certainly understood what Su Ning meant, and nodded heavily. "Now that Lijia Village has allocated us private plots, and our household registration is also in Lijia Village, we can still plant trees in Saihanba with peace of mind. There's nothing to change."

"That's good! Having you and your wife accompany us in planting trees will make it much easier for Qin Xuemei and me." Seeing that Zhao Tianshan really didn't want to leave Lijia Village, Suning smiled and agreed.

Seeing Zhang Manling's slightly bulging belly, Su Ning looked at Zhao Tianshan in surprise, "Zhao Tianshan, is your Zhang Manling pregnant?"

"hey-hey."

"Well, it's been more than five months." Zhang Manling said sweetly.

Su Ning suddenly looked at his wife beside him and said, "Xuemei, we have to work hard too."

"Yeah!" They have been married for many years and there is nothing to be shy about.

Zhao Tianshan helped Su Ning unload the luggage. Su Ning then discovered that his home was already spotless. He looked at Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling in surprise, "You guys helped clean all this, didn't you?"

"Haha, Zhao Tianshan said you might come back at any time, so I come here often to clean." Zhang Manling explained with a smile.

"Well, thank you both."

"Feng Cheng, this is what we should do."

That night, Suning prepared a large table of sumptuous dinner. Then, for the first time, Suning took out two bottles of wine and drank heartily with Zhao Tianshan. He was also full of longing for his future life.

The next morning, seeing Qin Xuemei already got up and was making breakfast, Suning quickly remembered that he had forgotten something very important last night.

Su Ning quickly took out two bottles of folic acid tablets without any packaging from the space world and handed them to Qin Xuemei, "Xuemei, these are folic acid tablets. Take them before pregnancy to prevent fetal deformities."

"Ah? There is such a thing as folic acid?" Qin Xuemei said in surprise, looking at the two bottles of folic acid in her hand.

"Haha, are you still worried that I'll give you poison?"

"Go to hell! I'm just a little curious." Qin Xuemei glared at Su Ning unhappily, then looked at him questioningly, "By the way! How do you know so much about women giving birth? Did you have a child with your ex-girlfriend?"

"Haha, I did want to have a child with her, but she refused and left!" Su Ning explained, half-truthfully, "Maybe I had a child with another woman in my past life!"

"Humph! You're such a jerk!" Tan Xuemei wouldn't believe Suning's nonsense. "Can I eat Zhang Manling too?"

"Sure! But don't eat too much."

"Okay, I'll give her a bottle later." During his career as a technical section chief in the past few years, Suning did not give up learning. Because of the vast amount of knowledge and abundant materials in the space world, Suning's forestry knowledge has become more and more abundant. In fact, his level is no less than that of the top forestry experts of this era.

After the larch seedlings were planted, the main problem they faced became pest control. Because the "full-light seedling cultivation" adopted by Suning was so powerful, insect pests became very rare, and Suning and Qin Xuemei and others were able to easily solve the problem.

"Zhang Manling, you stay and cook for us." Su Ning looked at Zhao Tianshan's wife and said, "The three of us will each carry a medicine barrel and go spray the pesticides."

"it is good!"

"The food is all in our kitchen. You can see it as soon as you go in."

"Well, I see."

After watching Suning, Qin Xuemei and Zhao Tianshan leave, Zhang Manling came to Suning and Qin Xuemei's home. Seeing the rice, flour, grain, oil, meat, eggs, fruits and vegetables in the kitchen, Zhang Manling felt bad.

She had always heard Zhao Tianshan say that Suning was very capable. Suning and Qin Xuemei never ate canned meat and canned fruit, which were precious in the eyes of others. They usually ate fresh meat and seasonal vegetables.

In the past, she had only heard Zhao Tianshan's oral narration, and in the Saihanba Forest Farm, Suning and Qin Xuemei both ate in the canteen and rarely returned to Lijia Village, so Zhang Manling had no idea about it. It was not until today when she saw these foods with her own eyes that Zhang Manling felt shocked.

Pest control in the forest farm is still a very troublesome task. Suning, Qin Xuemei and the other two are each responsible for an area. Suning can no longer be lazy and can only endure the wind, frost and sun like an old farmer.

Fortunately, when they got home, there was a hot meal made by Zhang Manling. The four people had a clear division of labor and did not feel too tired. Moreover, the four people from Suning were only responsible for their own planting areas. They did not need to be responsible for the planting areas of Saihanba Forest Farm.

The four of them ate dinner while discussing the next arrangements. Su Ning looked at Zhang Manling, who was pregnant, and said to Zhao Tianshan, "Zhao Tianshan, when it's close to the due date, it would be best to send Zhang Manling directly to Chengde Hospital, or send her back to her hometown in Chengde now."

"Ah? Not necessary?"

"Giving birth is still very dangerous for women. It's like walking through the gates of hell. It's safer to stay in a big city and a big hospital."

"This"

"Zhao Tianshan, this year's pest control mission has come to an end. From now on, you can just focus on taking care of Zhang Manling in Chengde."

Suning knew that Zhang Manling was registered in Chengde and her parents had always lived in Chengde. If they returned to Chengde General Hospital, everyone would feel much more at ease. If they had to fight like Li Tieniu's wife in the original drama, it would be something they couldn't even imagine.

Hearing that Suning's arrangement made sense, Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling accepted it. The conditions in Saihanba were too poor and it was difficult to guarantee the so-called basic medical conditions.

When Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling left, Suning gave Zhao Tianshan two hundred yuan, which should be enough for this trip to Chengde.

"Xuemei, when you give birth to your child, we will also go to Chengde or the capital."

"Haha, I'm not even pregnant yet, but you're thinking too far ahead."

"Haha, then why don't we go home and continue working hard."

"Hmph! Rogue!"

Life is so plain and happy, but there are always various small episodes. Tang Qi, the idiot from Hong Kong, still sent a letter to Suning. It was originally sent to Weichang Forestry Bureau, but was finally sent to Saihanba Forest Farm.

Looking at the special postmark of overseas letters, Zhao Tianshan and Qu He both had complicated expressions. Qu He gritted his teeth and looked at Zhao Tianshan and said, "Old Yu, open it and check it!"

"Qu He, opening other people's mail privately is illegal and immoral."

"Old Yu, what if something terrible happens?"

"Hey! I've already called the Fire Watchtower in Lijia Village. Feng Cheng will be here soon."

"Huh? Okay! Let's see how Feng Cheng explains this matter."

This time, Suning came with Qin Xuemei. As soon as they arrived at the Saihanba Forest Farm, they went straight to Yu Zhenglai's office, and then saw Deputy Director Qu He there.

Su Ning sat directly across from Yu Zhenglai, then took off his gloves and asked, "Director Yu, why did you call us here in such a hurry? Is there something urgent?"

"Feng Cheng, please take a look at this letter first." Yu Zhenglai handed the letter directly to Su Ning.

Suning took the letter curiously, looked at the Hong Kong postmark on the letter, confirmed his guess, and then began his performance.

"From Hong Kong?" Suning looked puzzled, then opened it in front of everyone.

After opening the letter, he leaned over to read it with his wife, Qin Xuemei. Seeing the brief message of safety, Su Ning and Qin Xuemei looked at each other in surprise, "Tang Qi is not dead?"

"What?" Yu Zhenglai and Qu He both knew about Tang Qi's situation, so they were both quite shocked.

Suning handed the letter directly to Yu Zhenglai and Qu He, and then saw the two of them reading it face to face. Soon, Qu He and Yu Zhenglai looked at Suning with complicated expressions.

"Feng Cheng, do you know that Tang Qi is still alive?" Qu He asked directly.

"Like you, I just found out."

"Feng Cheng, how are you going to deal with this matter?" Yu Zhenglai looked at Suning with a complicated expression.

"What do I do? Do I still have a relationship with that woman?"

"Uh?"

Su Ning suddenly looked at Qu He who was constantly checking the letters, and asked with a smile, "Director Qu, how is the inspection going?"

"Huh? The checkup is complete! Nothing abnormal?"

"Haha, I heard that many agents like to use secret writing potions on letters. How about you, Director Qu, check it carefully again?"

"Haha, that's impossible! I've already checked."

"Well, that's good!" Su Ning picked up the letter and envelope on the table. Under the surprised gaze of Yu Zhenglai and Qu He, he took out a lighter and lit it until the letter turned into ashes. Su Ning took out the tea on the table and poured it on the ashes. Then he spoke again, "Director Yu, Director Qu, this is the end of the matter between Tang Qi and me. We will absolutely not have any relationship anymore."

"Uh?"

Suning's straightforward solution shocked Yu Zhenglai and Qu He, but they also admired Suning's solution and felt that it was the most perfect solution.

"Feng Cheng, you are right. You and Tang Qi have no relationship anymore."

"Thank you both for your understanding."
