Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

"Of course I know, how could I not know?"

Feng Cheng's eyes were piercing as he stared intently at Zhang Fulin, his serious expression sending a chill down one's spine.

Zhang Fulin felt uneasy under that gaze, his heart pounding like a rabbit's. He became increasingly uncertain and his eyes unconsciously darted away.

In this tense atmosphere, Zhang Fulin was torn between his inner thoughts and his own.

He even hesitated whether to go all the way and take action against Feng Cheng.

Just as Zhang Fulin was struggling with his inner turmoil, Feng Cheng spoke up again.

"Old Zhang, you took the cornbread from the small kitchen, didn't you?"

"what?!"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Fulin's eyes widened in shock, his face filled with astonishment.

However, he quickly realized what was happening and readily admitted it.

"Ah, yes!"

"I knew it!"

Feng Cheng's tone carried a hint of expectation, and then he spoke earnestly.

"Old Zhang, this must be your first time working and living in a communal setting."

"After I started working, food was rationed."

"Everyone has a different appetite. If you eat a lot, it's no big deal to take an extra cornbread."

Zhang Fulin listened to Feng Cheng's words, knowing that Feng Cheng had misunderstood something.

But I still felt a warmth in my heart, and quickly said...

"Technician Feng, I understand. Thank you so much!"

"Old Zhang, this is for you."

As Feng Cheng spoke, he took two compressed biscuits out of his bag and handed them over.

Zhang Fulin took it and asked with a curious look.

"Technician Feng, what's this?"

"This is called a compressed biscuit."

"It was given to us by the troops when they came to visit the Forestry Bureau that year. The bureau leaders were worried that we would go hungry in the dam area, so they gave it to us specially."

"This is military supplies, it's very filling, one piece is equivalent to eight pieces of ordinary dry rations!"

Zhang Fulin was so moved by Feng Cheng's introduction that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

It took him several seconds to realize what he meant, and he quickly declined.

"Technician Feng, I can't accept this!"

As he spoke, he stuffed the biscuit into Feng Cheng's hand.

"Just take it, and eat it!"

Feng Cheng pushed the biscuit back and looked at him seriously.

"If you encounter any difficulties in the dam area in the future, don't bear it alone, tell me immediately."

"If I can't solve it, I'll definitely report it to my superiors!"

After Feng Cheng finished speaking, he patted Zhang Fulin on the shoulder.

"Alright, go ahead and get busy."

After Feng Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and went to pack his things.

Zhang Fulin stood there, stunned, staring blankly at Feng Cheng's retreating figure.

In his memory, since his parents passed away, no one had ever treated him with such sincerity and kindness.

Technician Feng is the first one in so many years.

Meanwhile, the summer days below the dam have been exceptionally leisurely.

I sleep until I naturally wake up every day, and then I follow Engineer Chen to take a stroll around the nursery below the dam to see the tender green seedlings.

In his spare time, he either eats or sleeps, and occasionally chats with Yu Zheng.

Life couldn't be more relaxed and comfortable.

"Xia, what do you think about my recruitment trip to forestry universities all over the country?"

"How many people can you bring back?"

The more Yu Zheng thought about Xia Tian's words from a couple of days ago, the more he felt that what Xia Tian said made sense.

The more sense it made, the less confident Yu Zhenglai felt.

Sure enough, when Yu Zheng came to chat with Xia Tian, ​​the topic came up again.

"Uncle Yu, well, it's hard to say!"

"There might be 10 or so, or there might be 20 or so!"

Summer frowned slightly and said thoughtfully.

"That depends on how you explain the situation of Saihanba to people!"

"And there's also the enthusiasm and ideas that college students have for forestry development."

Yu Zhenglai nodded thoughtfully.

"I will tell you the truth about our situation here in detail."

"Let's also clearly explain our plans and vision for the future."

"Xia, do you think college students would be willing to come to this harsh place?"

Xia Tian smiled, her eyes filled with determination.

"Uncle Yu, I believe it will definitely happen."

"Many young people today harbor dreams and aspire to make a name for themselves."

"Although Saihanba has harsh conditions, it is a land full of hope with broad development prospects."

"As long as you showcase these advantages, you will definitely attract like-minded people."

Xia Tian knew perfectly well that there was such a young man in the original story.

With dreams in my heart, I came to Saihanba.

After hearing Xia Tian's words, Yu Zheng felt a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"Okay, then I'll do as you say."

"Xia, I wish you could come along!"

"You're so eloquent; once you open your mouth, I'm sure many people will be willing to come!"

Summer shrugged helplessly.

"Uncle Yu, even if I wanted to go, someone needs to keep an eye on things in Bashang, and I can't leave."

"Besides, the department leaders are taking you to give the report, not me!"

Yu Zheng slapped his forehead.

"Oh, what a pity!"

……

"Uncle Liu, what brings you here?"

That day, Old Liu suddenly grabbed Xia Tian in a mysterious manner.

"Xia, when are you going to the dam?"

"I have to wait for Uncle Qu to come back before I go to the dam!"

"That's it!"

Old Liu nodded.

"Uncle Liu, what's wrong?"

Summer was very curious; it was rare to see Old Liu acting so coy.

"Oh, let me tell you the truth!"

"It's about Feng Cheng!"

"Feng Cheng, what's wrong with him?"

Summer didn't quite understand.

"Xia, do you know that Feng Cheng is our Captain Feng's son?"

"I know!"

Xia Tian nodded, still not quite understanding what Old Liu meant.

"That's right, our Captain Feng saved my life."

"Feng Cheng is the son of our Captain Feng."

"Now Captain Feng is gone, and Sister Li is gone too!"

"We old folks are practically family to Feng Cheng!"

"Uncle Liu, just say what you have to say!"

"I understand everything you're saying!"

Summer was getting a little anxious, and Old Liu kept going around in circles.

Selling maps of the Yan state almost confused him.

"Xiao Tang, also known as Tang Qi!"

"That girl is a really nice person!"

"I originally thought she was a good match for Feng Cheng's wife."

"That's the good fortune that Feng boy has accumulated over ten lifetimes."

"It's a pity that Xiao Tang also left the Forestry Bureau."

Old Liu let out a barely perceptible sigh.

"I understand everything you're saying, Uncle Liu, but what exactly are you trying to say?"

"This isn't your aunt's niece."

"I'm almost at the age where I should get married, so I'm thinking of playing matchmaker."

"Sir, the niece you're talking about from the aunt's family, could it be the one you were thinking of introducing to me before?"

Summer stared wide-eyed, asking incredulously.

"Yes, it's her!"
