Chapter 154 If college students are reliable, pigs can fly.
In the dugouts of the old camp, kerosene lamps emitted a dim, yellowish light.
The faint light flickered weakly in the cramped space.
It felt as if it could be swallowed up by the thick darkness at any moment.
At this moment, the atmosphere inside the dugout was extremely heavy.
It felt like a heavy boulder pressing down on my chest, making it hard to breathe.
Yu Zhenglai and Qu He sat side by side in front of Xia Tian, their faces solemn.
It was as if it were tightly shrouded in an invisible haze.
The heavy atmosphere seemed to freeze the air itself.
Qu He was the first to break the almost suffocating silence.
His tone was full of urgency and anxiety.
It was as if a fire was burning fiercely in his heart, making him restless and unable to sit still.
"Xia, what are you really thinking?"
"We can't really be so heartless as to send all these college students down to the dam, can we?"
Summer's lips curled up slightly, revealing a meaningful smile.
A sly glint flashed in his eyes, like a fleeting shooting star in the night sky.
"How is that possible!"
"This was done by Uncle Yu after going through countless hardships."
"It wasn't easy to recruit so many new recruits to our Bashang area."
"To let them go so easily would be a waste of their potential."
"What a waste of such good labor force?"
"Besides, these workers are a waste of time, whether we use them or not!"
However, the saying goes, "If you don't use it, you might as well not use it; if you do use it, it's a waste of time."
He pondered it silently in his heart, without uttering it aloud.
In Xia Tian's view, these college students were like uncut gems.
They possess a high level of cultural literacy.
With proper guidance and training.
Given time, they will surely become an indispensable mainstay in the construction of Saihanba.
Take Feng Cheng for example. When he first arrived, he was naive and impulsive.
His every move exuded a sense of impetuousness.
However, through his own teaching and patient guidance, he was able to succeed.
Today, Feng Cheng has undergone a complete transformation and grown into a pillar of society capable of standing on his own and shouldering heavy responsibilities.
So what are your plans?
Qu He pressed on, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Xia Tian did not directly respond to Qu He's question, but slowly turned her gaze to Yu Zhenglai.
With a hint of inquiry and respect in his eyes, he softly asked in return.
"Uncle Yu, what's your opinion on this matter?"
Yu Zhenglai took a deep breath, his murky gaze slowly shifting in the dim light and shadow of the dugout.
With a touch of deep thought and careful consideration.
After a moment, he spoke slowly, his voice deep and powerful.
"Xia, although these college students have made a big mistake this time."
"But each of them harbors lofty ideals and ambitions."
"I came here full of hope that I could make a great career in this vast land of Saihanba."
"We cannot completely negate their future because of their impulsiveness and recklessness this time."
"The most crucial thing right now is to educate and guide people."
"Make them truly realize their mistakes."
"Only in this way can they take deep root in the land of Saihanba in the future."
Xia Tian nodded slightly, her eyes revealing deep agreement.
"Uncle Yu, you're absolutely right."
"I got so angry today not because I really wanted to drive them away."
"I just want them to understand this deeply."
“In Saihanba, any slight oversight could trigger a huge disaster.”
"Discipline and safety are always of paramount importance, and there is no room for the slightest slackness or carelessness."
Qu He crossed his arms, leaned back in his chair, and frowned slightly.
He had a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Xia, your scolding today will definitely teach them a lesson."
"But I feel that's far from enough."
"If we want them to truly internalize discipline and safety, we need to find another way."
After pondering for a long time, Yu Zhenglai slowly made a suggestion.
"How about we give these college students a disciplinary warning? Let them know that there are consequences for making mistakes."
Summer felt a sudden jolt in her heart and sighed inwardly.
Unexpectedly, Yu Zheng, who usually seems kind and approachable, came.
It's unbelievable that they have such a "ruthless" side, actually thinking of giving these college students a disciplinary warning.
"Uncle Yu, there's really no need to do this."
Xia Tian quickly waved her hand, her tone firm and sincere.
"I just want them to remember this lesson, it's not time to give them any punishment."
“Once a disciplinary action is recorded, it may have an unnecessary negative impact on their future.”
Yu Zheng nodded slightly after hearing Xia Tian's words.
His tightly furrowed brows relaxed slightly, clearly indicating that he had given up the idea of disciplining the college student.
Qu He stroked his chin and said with a serious expression.
"Since we won't be punished, we'll have to think of another way."
"They must fully understand the importance of discipline and safety."
"We can't just let this matter pass by in a muddled way."
"Yes!"
Yu Zhenglai deeply agreed with Qu He's words and sighed softly.
That sigh was filled with worry and anticipation for the future.
……
Meanwhile, on the other side of the camp.
Zhao Tianshan and Feng Cheng also tossed and turned on the kang (a heated brick bed), unable to fall asleep.
"Old Zhao, you see, I was right before."
Feng Cheng said to Zhao Tianshan with a helpless expression, his words filled with strong dissatisfaction with the college students.
"If these college students are reliable, then pigs can fly!"
"Go to sleep, Feng Cheng, we have to get up early tomorrow!"
Zhao Tianshan glanced at Feng Cheng and softly advised him, his voice tinged with weariness and helplessness.
The dugout fell silent instantly.
Only the occasional chirping of insects broke the brief silence.
Silent all night.
The next day, Xia Tian woke up early.
I did a round of boxing in the camp and had a quick breakfast.
He then walked alone toward the nursery.
Saihanba in the early morning.
A thin mist swirled between heaven and earth like a light veil.
It gently draped this land in a dreamlike cloak.
The fresh air, carrying a slight coolness, entered his nostrils, instantly invigorating him.
Summer walked alone on the road leading to the nursery, her mind replaying the events of the previous night.
Zhao Tianshan also got up early, and the whistle blew.
The advance team members were jolted awake from their dreams.
They quickly got dressed and came out of the dugout.
Zhao Tianshan looked toward the university dormitory.
"Attention, everyone! Right dress, forward eyes!"
"Turn right and run."
In the end, Zhao Tianshan ignored the college students.
He began leading the advance team members in daily training.
