I started a senior citizen university after being unemployed, and I became the favorite of my uncles

Chapter 216 Planting an Evergreen Tree

Today is Arbor Day, and Lin Qinglan plans to plant a tree.

The name of the school is Evergreen, and it would be more meaningful if there was a tree planted by her and her uncles and aunts.

It’s just that the uncles and aunts have different opinions about what trees to plant.

Aunt Liang suggested planting pine trees from the perspective of meaning. "Pine and cypress are evergreen all year round, so they are called evergreen trees. Moreover, pine trees shed few leaves and are easy to take care of."

"I disagree! Who said pine trees shed fewer leaves?"

"Its leaves fall out just like Lao Wang's hair falls out, they fall out secretly. I sweep the ground every day these days, how could I not know?"

"If you ask me, this number of fortune-making numbers has a good meaning."

Old Fu had been in trouble recently, and couldn't even call his son to come. His son was too embarrassed to come, and he said, "He should be beaten and scolded if he deserves it."

The school couldn't really do what Fu Lanshan said, so it could only educate Fu in a different way, asking him to participate in labor and clean the ground in front of the teaching building in the morning.

Not only did Old Fu have no complaints, he also worked happily, shouting downstairs every day: "Come on! Successful man Fu, you will also sweep the cleanest floor today."

Uncle Wang was attacked by Lao Fu for his "hair" just now, so he sang a different tune: "The money tree can't grow money, so why not plant strawberries? They are beautiful and edible."

Uncle Zhao laughed so hard that he couldn't catch his breath after hearing this. "It's a blessing for our planting class to have you."

As the second to last student in the planting class last semester's exam, Uncle Zhao felt that he had an obligation to teach Uncle Wang, who ranked last, some common knowledge about plants.

"Is the strawberry a tree? Just plant it."

"The teacher said in class that strawberries are herbaceous plants. You can tell from the looks of it that you didn't pay attention in class."

"You should listen to me and grow bananas. They are tastier than strawberries."

The battle between "bananas" and "strawberries" is about to break out.

Uncle Zhao's wife, Aunt Li, stood far away from them, with disdain clearly written on her face: "Strawberries are herbs, and so are bananas. What on earth did you two learn?"

"Besides, is the temperature high enough for growing bananas here? Use your brain and don't tell others that you know me."

Aunt Li was in the dark and had no idea what the future would hold for the planting class.

There are actually two old men in their class who don’t even have common sense.

She really wanted to expel Old Fu and Uncle Zhao from the school on behalf of Teacher Xiaojing.

Lin Qinglan listened to the speeches of the uncles and aunts and decided: "We will plant ginkgo trees."

She thinks the ginkgo tree is very suitable for the senior citizens' university. Although the ginkgo tree is not evergreen, it is long-lived.

As a symbol of longevity and happiness, ginkgo has a flower language that is very suitable for it: "eternal protection".

Lin Qinglan hopes that the ginkgo trees she planted will thrive and become the "guardian angel" of evergreen trees.

After hearing this, Uncle Wang and Uncle Zhao temporarily stopped fighting and expressed their support.

"Principal Lin is the one who knows how to choose, unlike some people who only have food on their mind." Uncle Wang mocked Uncle Zhao.

Uncle Zhao was not to be outdone. "Some people who can't even grow chives are not allowed to talk. What's wrong with growing fruit? It's not as practical as a money tree."

"You guys are trying to drag me down during the quarrel. I'm going to fight you." Old Fu rushed forward angrily.

Uncle Li waved as usual, and Uncle Liao grabbed one with each hand.

"Old Liao, tell them what I said." Uncle Li pretended to be profound, trying to draw a clear line between himself and the childish Old Fu and others.

"Do you really want to say it?" Uncle Liao hesitated.

"Speak." Uncle Li gave the order directly.

Uncle Liao took a step forward, his breath sinking into his dantian, and his voice was full of energy: "You three should practice more."

"That's not it. I can just say it in my heart. Why did you shout it out loud?" Uncle Li glared at Uncle Liao with a look of disappointment, turned around and wanted to run away.

But it was too late. Uncle Wang, Uncle Zhao and Old Fu shook hands and made peace. They faced the outside world together and rushed up to have a good "chat" with Uncle Li.

The conflict between three people evolved into a war between four people.

Lin Qinglan watched the excitement for a while, and asked the know-it-all aunts where to buy saplings at a cheap price. She prepared a ginkgo sapling and would plant it in the afternoon.

The aunts came to a conclusion after discussion.

"It's better to go to the nursery to buy finished seedlings, but their business is large orders of dozens of trees at a time, so it's hard to say if you buy less."

"If you go to the flower and bird market, the quality is mixed. It's a bit difficult to choose by yourself."

"You can ask Lao Wang. He is a carpenter and deals with trees. He has connections," Aunt Zhong suggested.

"Ask me, I know." Uncle Wang paused his attack on Uncle Li and raised his hand.

"This time it's really not my connections, it's my son's connections."

Uncle Wang’s son, Xiao Wang, is a programmer who loves farming.

……

When Xiao Wang received a call from Lin Qinglan, he was so nervous that he prepared himself mentally.

According to his experience, it was always bad news when the teacher called, because his father had never done anything good in school. He followed Uncle Wang around every day to clean up the mess made by the trouble-making Uncle Wang.

He prepared an apology in his mind, closed his eyes and picked up the phone: "Hello, Principal Lin, what has my dad done wrong in school again?"

"Did you saw the table or sit on the collapsed stool?"

Lin Qinglan was unable to get a word in when faced with a series of questions: "Don't get excited. This has nothing to do with it."

"Isn't it damaging public property? Is it injuring someone?"

"Did he bring the slingshot to school when I wasn't paying attention? Did he hit someone else's parents?"

"Is the injury serious? Has the family come to look for him?"

"Don't worry, we will definitely take responsibility to the end. I'm going to school now and will definitely teach my dad a lesson when I get home."

"Just listen to what I have to say..." The person on the other end became more and more excited, so Lin Qinglan held the phone away.

"You're not going to fire my dad, are you?"

"Although he doesn't do his job every day and still eats and sleeps, he shouldn't be fired, right?"

Uncle Wang listened to the whole thing without missing a word. His face darkened and he said quietly, "I am your biological father. How can I be so bad in your heart?"
