Feng Cheng's Spring
Chapter 1421 Feng Cheng's Spring
In the afternoon, Zhang Manling took Sun Huifen to the nursery to meet Feng Cheng, and first praised Sun Huifen.
It is said that Feng Cheng was good-looking, knowledgeable, and capable. He also managed to grow trees in the dam area, becoming one of the legends of Weichang Forest Farm.
He then introduced Sun Huifen to Feng Cheng, saying that she was young, beautiful, intelligent, capable, virtuous, and filial.
After showering the two with compliments, he said they were a perfect match, then pushed Sun Huifen in front of Feng Cheng before disappearing in a flash.
He was still in a daze when Sun Huifen looked at Feng Cheng with a shy expression.
"What kind of situation is this?"
Seeing Zhang Manling leave as if she had done her job, Feng Cheng turned to look at Sun Huifen, who was looking at him with a shy expression.
Not far away, Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan were watching the scene unfold.
At noon, Zhao Tianshan saw Zhang Manling sitting with Feng Cheng, holding a rice bowl and chatting happily, and wanted to go over.
In the end, Lin Hao pulled him aside and explained to Zhao Tianshan that Zhang Manling had acted as a matchmaker, which put Zhao Tianshan at ease.
The two then sat behind Feng Cheng and Zhang Manling, eating their meal and enjoying some melon seeds.
However, Feng Cheng and Sun Huifen were unaware that someone was watching the drama unfold behind the mound. Sun Huifen said with a shy smile:
"Comrade Feng Cheng, you've taken excellent care of this nursery!"
Sun Huifen first praised Miao Pu to ease the awkward atmosphere between the two.
"Hello!" Feng Cheng greeted Sun Huifen somewhat awkwardly when he saw her looking at him.
He then took a closer look at Sun Huifen. Although she was a bit young, she was in the prime of her youth.
Moreover, in terms of both figure and appearance, she seems to be no less than Tang Qi. Although she is not a college student, she is still a high school student, and her conditions in all aspects are actually quite good.
For some reason, Feng Cheng's initial resistance turned into a restless desire.
"Um, Comrade Sun Huifen!" Feng Cheng paused here, unsure of what to say next.
Sun Huifen was also a straightforward and decisive girl, someone who dared to love and hate. Seeing Feng Cheng's awkwardness, she smiled and said:
"Brother Feng, I want to tell you, I like you, can I be your girlfriend?"
Before Feng Cheng could finish speaking, Sun Huifen twisted her body slightly and then boldly confessed her feelings to him.
"No, Comrade Sun Huifen, please listen to me first!"
"Yes, Comrade Feng Cheng, I'm listening to you!"
Feng Cheng was at a loss, unsure how to reject the naive girl in front of him.
However, after thinking of Tang Qi, Feng Cheng took a deep breath and then said to Sun Huifen:
First of all, thank you for your recognition and goodwill towards me. You are also a good girl, beautiful and capable!
"But I already have a girlfriend, I can't agree to be your boyfriend!" Feng Cheng said to Sun Huifen with some reluctance.
"Comrade Feng Cheng, I've heard your story, but it's been so long. I never imagined you still loved her so deeply!"
"But this also proves that I didn't misjudge you. You are a very responsible and good man, and a devoted person."
"I don't believe you'll never get married. I'll wait for you until you're willing to accept me!"
Sun Huifen seemed to have anticipated this. She mustered her courage, looked Feng Cheng in the eye, said a few words, and then ran away, leaving Feng Cheng completely bewildered.
"What a pity, they missed such a good opportunity." Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan said with some regret as they watched Sun Huifen's departing figure.
"Damn it, if only you were more proactive, why are you so clueless?"
"Section Chief Lin, Captain Zhao, I'm in trouble, and you're just making sarcastic remarks!"
"Furthermore, isn't it somewhat immoral of you to eavesdrop on my conversation with Comrade Sun Huifen like this!"
Since they weren't far away, Feng Cheng heard Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan's exclamations, so he came over to take a look and ended up catching two hapless creatures who were just watching the show.
"Uh~!"
"that!"
"this!"
"Hehe~!"
Seeing Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan watching the drama unfold, Feng Cheng was instantly furious, feeling as if his secret had been discovered.
"What do you mean? What does this have to do with morality?" Lin Hao retorted, arguing illogically.
"Besides, Captain Zhao and I were the ones who came here to chat first. You were the ones who came up to us and started talking. How can you expect us to eavesdrop?"
Then Lin Hao changed the subject and said, "Speaking of which, it's a good thing that Comrade Sun Huifen is willing to date you. What, you're not willing?"
"Exactly!" Zhao Tianshan chimed in with a joke.
"Comrade Sun Huifen is not only excellent in every way, but also has a good character. She's quite good-looking too. What, you're looking down on her just because she's a high school student?"
"No, Section Chief Lin, Captain Zhao, things aren't what you think at all!" Feng Cheng panicked when he heard Lin Hao's teasing.
At this moment, Lin Hao looked at Feng Cheng and said solemnly:
"Alright, Feng Cheng, I know you still have feelings for the person who abandoned you, but that girl is gone, isn't she?"
"But I just can't forget the days we spent together, it feels like it was just yesterday!" At this painful moment, Feng Cheng went to Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan's side and lay down with them on the hillside.
“Captain Zhao, I think Feng Cheng has some problems with his thinking. You need to educate him!” Lin Hao turned to Zhao Tianshan and said.
"What do you mean?" Zhao Tianshan didn't understand Lin Hao's meaning either.
"I think Feng Cheng is disloyal and unfilial!" Lin Hao said deliberately, trying to sound alarmist.
"How am I disloyal and unfilial?" Feng Cheng jumped up angrily.
"Don't worry, let me analyze it for you!" Lin Hao then began to give examples one by one:
"From a public perspective, our population is so small right now, we need to increase it, but if you don't get married, how can the population grow? Isn't that being unwilling to contribute to society? Isn't that disloyalty?"
"Personally, your Feng family only has one son. If you don't get married, and the line ends, won't your Feng family line be completely wiped out?"
"As the saying goes, of the three unfilial acts, the greatest is to have no descendants. Your father died young, and it's one thing that you haven't fulfilled your responsibilities as a descendant, but you've even cut off your family line. Isn't that unfilial?"
Lin Hao said earnestly to Feng Cheng, "Even if you don't think about yourself, you should at least think about your Feng family!"
“Yes, I think Section Chief Lin is absolutely right. The Feng family line cannot be allowed to die out.” Zhao Tianshan also agreed with Lin Hao.
"But I don't like Sun Huifen either, and we've never really clicked!"
Upon hearing Lin Hao's words, Feng Cheng paused for a moment, but then said earnestly:
"Comrade Feng Cheng, how many people in this world can live according to their own will?"
"You two have no feelings for each other, and you can't even talk about liking or disliking each other, but the problem is you haven't even had any contact with them, how can you be sure you don't like them?" "The kind of love I yearn for is love at first sight, it's~!" Before Feng Cheng could finish speaking, Lin Hao interrupted, "Love at first sight my foot!"
"There's no such thing as love at first sight in this world. If you see a girl for the first time and immediately know you're in love with her, that's not love at first sight, that's lust, that's just wanting her body, understand?"
"If you're lustful at first sight, then so be it. Don't spout this bullshit about love at first sight. I'm almost embarrassed to say it to you!"
True love is not about poetry and distant places, but about the everyday realities of life.
True love is not about finding a perfect person, but about perfectly appreciating imperfections.
True love is not about grand vows, but about enduring companionship.
True love is not about changing the other person into an ideal, but about accepting each other as they are.
"You've never even been in a relationship, and you don't even understand the other person, so what are you talking about love for? Don't you find that ridiculous?"
After listening to Lin Hao's words, and even the impromptu poem he composed, Feng Cheng didn't say anything, but Tang Qi's image kept popping into his mind.
However, Tang Qi's appearance quickly changed to Sun Huifen's, which left Feng Cheng somewhat confused.
Lin Hao raised an eyebrow as he looked at Feng Cheng. It seemed that it was still effective, but he just couldn't get over that hurdle in his mind.
Ignoring Feng Cheng, Lin Hao and Zhao Tianshan left directly to continue patrolling the various work progress areas.
"Expert Lin, do you think Feng Cheng can get past that hurdle?" Zhao Tianshan asked Lin Hao curiously on the patrol route.
"You've noticed it too, Feng Cheng can't get over this mental hurdle. He'll have to figure it out himself. If he can't, there's nothing we can do to help him!" Lin Hao said, turning to Zhao Tianshan.
"Alright, Feng Cheng has his problems. Now let's talk about you. You're not getting any younger, it's time to express your feelings. Seize the day!"
"This, that...!"
"Alright, enough of that. Let's go show them the machine now. Maybe you'll be able to operate it together next year."
Lin Hao smiled and said to Zhao Tianshan, who was stunned for a moment, then followed Lin Hao and asked him for advice on how to pursue girls.
Lin Hao looked at Zhao Tianshan with a "you're a promising student" expression, and then, without holding back, shared some techniques with Zhao Tianshan.
····
Winter has arrived before we know it, and the weather forecast predicts that heavy snow will fall in Bashang again this year.
Feng Cheng eventually agreed to spend some time with Sun Huifen, and after several months of getting to know each other, they successfully established a relationship.
However, Zhao Tianshan, a retired soldier, eventually launched his offensive against Zhang Manling in the fall, at Lin Hao's urging.
Zhao Tianshan confessed his feelings to Zhang Manling while teaching her how to drive a tractor.
As a result, Zhang Manling scolded Zhao Tianshan, just like Zhao Tianshan had deliberately scolded Zhang Manling before. One reason was to vent her anger, and the other was to test Zhao Tianshan.
As a result, Zhao Tianshan thought that the other party did not agree, since according to Zhang Manling's idea, she would only agree after the dam was planted with big trees and the Botao Forest was restored.
This was clearly a rejection, so they gave up in disappointment.
Zhang Manling did not expect that Zhao Tianshan would give up so easily. In her opinion, she wanted to test Zhao Tianshan's determination, but she did not expect that he would give up directly.
Finally, Aunt Yu reminded Zhang Manling that Zhao Tianshan was a soldier, and since she had clearly refused, he would definitely not do anything to force her to do something against her will.
Thus, their relationship remained in a stalemate, neither improving nor declining. Time flew by, and the first snow fell on the dam.
In the newly built courtyard, everyone gathered together to make dumplings, steamed buns, and mantou.
"Section Chief Lin, wait!" Lin Hao was about to return to the courtyard when he heard someone calling him, so he turned around and looked back.
"Hey, Xiao Liu, is your post office this busy? I see you've already made three trips!"
Lin Hao stopped and waited, and saw Xiao Liu, who was delivering mail, take a large package from the back of his bicycle. It contained a large stack of letters and three packages.
"Nonsense, the post office also needs to celebrate the New Year. It's just that the director said our workers in Bashang have worked hard, so he asked me to work overtime and try to deliver as many as possible!"
"Section Chief Lin, these are all yours!"
"Okay, then leave them all to me. I'll take them back to them!" Lin Hao took the letters and packages.
Xiao Liu was relieved to have Lin Hao help him deliver the letter, which saved Lin Hao a lot of trouble. Lin Hao didn't expect that Meng Yue would also receive a letter this year.
Since the letter that arrived before the new year, Mengyue's boyfriend has seemed to have vanished, and not a single letter has come since.
Lin Hao then turned and went back into the courtyard, where everyone was making dumplings. He waved the letter in his hand and said:
"Everyone's mail has arrived, come and collect it!" Lin Hao returned to the courtyard and waved the items in his hand.
This time, not many people received letters; most received only one or two letters, and only a few received small packages.
"Xiu Rong, it's yours!"
"Team leader, please put it in my pocket!"
Lin Hao was speechless. Didn't they know how to tone it down? Fortunately, Shen Mengyin stood up and said, "Let me help you put it out!"
"Xuemei, this is yours!"
"Mengyue, it's yours!"
"My boyfriend wrote a letter?" Mengyue said in surprise.
"There's another package!" Lin Hao said, handing an envelope and a bag to Mengyue.
"Sui Zhichao, this is yours."
"Then Da Kui, yours."
Lin Hao delivered the letters in no time. After receiving the letters, Meng Yue immediately opened them to check the contents of the package.
"Mengyin, this is yours!" He said, handing the package and letter to Shen Mengyin.
Receiving a letter was normal, but receiving a package piqued her curiosity, so Shen Mengyin picked up a pair of scissors and went to the side to open the package.
Upon opening it, I found a square packet of oil paper inside. It had three words written on it: "Coffee Beans".
Of the two letters, one was unsigned, but it was obvious that it was written to her by Lin Hao.
After reading the letter, she realized that Lin Hao had actually bought it for her. Although she had drunk coffee at Lin Hao's place before, she didn't dare to drink it often.
Because the roasted aroma of the coffee was so strong, Lin Hao bought some in her family's name and gave it to her to make the coffee drinking a public affair, so that he wouldn't have to worry about anyone noticing anything unusual.
Brother Lin is so kind. I must go to her house tonight and properly reward him. I can always go with Tang Qi if necessary. Shen Mengyin thought to herself.
The others also received their own letters and packages. Just as everyone was happy, Mengyue, who was looking at the letters and packages, couldn't stop crying as she read the contents of the letters. Then she suddenly ran away.
