Chapter 357: Afforestation
Soon, the tree-planting day arrived, and Qiao Qingyu had already prepared in advance, on behalf of the Student Union.
Bring your own tools, and if you really don’t have tools, bring buckets and watering cans.
They borrowed more than a dozen large trucks from the transportation company to take the students and faculty members who could attend the tree-planting event to the hundred-acre strip of the sandbelt claimed by Xichuan Agricultural College.
Both principals were there.
Understanding the importance of making an appearance, the vice-principal naturally didn’t want to fall behind, especially knowing there would be media interviews. Articles by the college’s own publicity department had been prepared in advance.
It was not only about form; substantial work had to be done too.
The temperature in March in Xichuan was still a bit low, but the students’ enthusiasm was incredibly high and excited. Principal Lu took a megaphone, said a few words to boost morale, and then praised the Student Union for their role in this event before he took the first shovel into the earth.
And so, everyone got to work enthusiastically.
The Xichuan Daily reporters took several close-up shots of Sun Xiuyuan holding a shovel and seedlings.
Then, a jeep arrived to pick up Sun Xiuyuan and the reporters.
