Go back to the past to plant trees

The next morning, Feng Cheng got up, brushed his teeth, washed his face, ate something, and then sat outside.

Today, Feng Cheng has to wait for the forestry bureau personnel to come up, because he doesn't know exactly when they will arrive. Unlike in later years, where a phone call can notify everyone, Feng Cheng has no choice but to wait here.

Bored sitting there, Feng Cheng got up and went inside to get a book to read.

After entering the dugout, Feng Cheng was about to pick up the book he hadn't finished reading yesterday when he accidentally saw the accordion placed to the side.

It was only then that Feng Cheng remembered that the original owner of this body was a multi-talented artistic youth.

In his previous life, Feng Cheng had also learned musical instruments for a period of time. At that time, guitars were popular and inexpensive, so he bought one to learn. He thought that people who played guitars were cool and that it would be easier to pick up girls if he learned to play guitar.

Unfortunately, Feng Cheng lacked talent and perseverance, so after studying for a while and finding that he couldn't play it well no matter what, he gradually gave up.

After starting work, he did pick it up again for a while. That was when short videos were all the rage, and there were tons of people teaching others to play musical instruments online. Seeing how easily others did it, Feng Cheng thought that he hadn't found the right method before, so he bought a cheap guitar and thought he would practice. In the end, he realized that it wasn't a problem with the method, but entirely a problem with the person.

However, since he had such a musical instrument at home, Feng Cheng would sometimes take it out and torture his neighbors' ears in his spare time.

The moment Feng Cheng saw the accordion, he became interested in it. It wasn't that he particularly liked the instrument, but rather that the original owner of this body could play it, and well, he could play it too.

Feng Cheng picked up the accordion, pressed a key, listened to two sounds, and then left the dugout.

I'm not going to read today; I'll play the accordion first. This instrument is notoriously difficult to learn.

Sitting down on the sand again, Feng Cheng recalled the memories in his mind, and then slowly played a piece that the original owner liked the most.

After playing it twice, Feng Cheng got a feel for it and gradually became familiar with it. Compared to his uncontrollable fingers in his previous life, his hands were now very obedient. Sometimes, before his mind could even process it, his fingers had already completed the movement.

After playing for a while, Feng Cheng grew to like the accordion more and more. In his previous life, when he was learning guitar, Feng Cheng lost interest as he learned more and more because he could never learn it well, and gradually he lost interest.

Now, Feng Cheng has discovered that he can play the accordion very well, and he likes it very much because he feels a sense of accomplishment and because he can play it proficiently.

After playing for a while and playing a few songs that the original owner knew, Feng Cheng began to think about the songs from his previous life.

When practicing guitar, Feng Cheng learned quite a few songs. Although he would need to change the sheet music when playing the accordion, at least he knew what the melody was like. The rest was just a matter of slowly finding the feeling.

After trying for a while and finding the right feel for it, Feng Cheng played his most familiar song and then slowly began to sing.

Like a gentle rain, it falls into my heart.

That feeling was so mysterious

I couldn't help but look up at you.

But you left no trace.

Although silent

Unforgettable

That's your gaze, bright and beautiful.

...

This song was the favorite song of Feng Cheng's first love in his previous life. She used this song as her ringtone and has been using it ever since.

For this reason, Feng Cheng is very familiar with this song. He has even accompanied his girlfriend on the guitar before. Although she always complained about it, she always asked him to accompany her.

Unfortunately, even the best relationships can't withstand reality. Less than two years after graduation, the two broke up. They had no house, no car, no money, and no future in their jobs.

After finishing the song, Feng Cheng sighed. The memory of his first love was no longer so familiar; time had faded everything. After turning thirty, Feng Cheng had become indifferent to matters of love and marriage. Although he had about 200,000 yuan in his pocket, Feng Cheng had never considered getting married.

Because that little money can't do anything at all, it's not even enough for a down payment, so how could we dare to talk about marriage, or even have the thought of it?

Maybe I'll have a chance to get married in this lifetime.

However, Feng Cheng wasn't too fixated on this matter. Although the original owner had a romantic partner, things were unlikely to develop the way they did in the drama after he arrived. Feng Cheng wasn't sure if there would still be an advance team in Bashang, or if so, whether it would be the same group of people.

History is made up of a series of coincidences; if even one event is off-track, things can change dramatically.

As expected, Feng Cheng will successfully plant trees in Bashang before the advance team arrives. Under such circumstances, it is normal for the local forestry bureau's thinking to change.

Feng Cheng didn't care too much about this. He could survive without a wife in his previous life, and his thoughts wouldn't change much even if he changed his environment.

Besides, given his current status—a college graduate and a reserve cadre—as long as he manages to grow trees in the dam area, he'll be promoted to at least deputy section chief when the mechanized forest farm is established. At that time, he'll be a real cadre, so why would he be worried about not finding a wife?

Therefore, Feng Cheng considered what to do after the accident and the uncertainty of the future. But upon closer reflection, he realized that many things in the drama were only briefly mentioned. To be honest, planning his future based on the developments in the drama was too uncertain. It would be better to set aside the influence of the drama and plan his own future development.

“Woof woof woof woof…”

Just as Feng Cheng was deep in thought, Xiao Liu, who had been lying down, suddenly stood up and shouted loudly behind Feng Cheng in a very nervous manner.

"You're here? So early?"

The moment Feng Cheng heard Xiao Liu call out, he knew that someone from the bureau had arrived.

But when Feng Cheng turned around, he realized that wasn't the case.

"Zhao Jinquan".

Feng Cheng looked at the newcomer with some surprise. The newcomer was the young man who had brought him back a few days ago.

"Hello, Leader Feng."

Zhao Jinquan stood not far away, watching Xiao Liu stand up, and did not walk any further.

"Xiao Liu, this is an acquaintance."

Feng Cheng patted Xiao Liu's head, gesturing for it to sit down.

After sensing Feng Cheng's emotions, Xiao Liu lowered his head and lay down at Feng Cheng's feet again, but his eyes were still fixed on Zhao Jinquan.

"Why did you come here today?" Feng Cheng asked Zhao Jinquan.

After seeing Xiao Liu lie down, Zhao Jinquan took a few steps forward and came to Feng Cheng's side.

“A few days ago, your forestry bureau came to our team to arrest people and fined Zheng Laosan and his gang fifty yuan. They were a bit resentful. I’ve seen them all gathered together these past few days discussing something. My dad was worried that he might come and cause trouble for you, since you’re all alone here. So he asked me to come and tell you to be careful.”

Upon hearing Zhao Jinquan's words, Feng Cheng's expression also turned serious. Were Zheng Laosan and his gang really going to cause him trouble? Was Yu Zheng's warning completely ineffective? Weren't they afraid of the Forestry Bureau?

Logically speaking, they shouldn't dare to bother me anymore, but many things can't be done according to common sense. This isn't the future; these people in the countryside now are mostly illiterate and act entirely on a whim.

Since I was alone and they had already lost several tens of yuan to me, anything could happen if they were after my money.

Fortunately, the police are coming up today, so I don't need to worry about my safety for the next two weeks. I also have a gun, and Xiao Liu is there to help me keep an eye on things. If I'm careful, there shouldn't be any major problems.

But with such an uncertain factor around, Feng Cheng still felt somewhat unsafe.

"Jin Quan, thank you for coming all this way to tell me about this."

Feng Cheng thought about many things at once, but he didn't forget Zhao Jinquan, who had come specifically to inform him.

Zhao Jinquan said, "It's okay. Zheng Laosan is from our team. If he does something bad, my dad will also be held responsible."

"You should rest for a bit, have some lunch before going back. You must be tired from coming all this way."

"this…"

“Listen to me, eat before you go back. You’re a guest here, so you have to do as I say,” Feng Cheng made the decision for him directly.

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Leader Feng."

Zhao Jinquan was also a bit hungry, but seeing that Feng Cheng wasn't going to be polite, he agreed. He remembered clearly how full he had been last time he ate here.
