Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

The lively atmosphere of New Year's Eve still seems to echo in my ears.

The first rays of sunlight in the morning shone through the cracks in the dugout and fell on summer's face.

Summer slowly opens its eyes, and the new year has arrived.

Recalling the laughter and joy of last night, Xia Tian's lips unconsciously curled into a smile, her heart filled with warmth and strength.

"New year, new look! This year we must lead everyone to achieve even greater success!"

Summer silently encouraged herself.

After a quick wash, Xia Tian stepped out of the dugout.

The snow scenery on the dam is still breathtaking, with the white snow sparkling under the sunlight.

The team members got up one after another, exchanging New Year's greetings and their faces beaming with anticipation for the new year.

"Happy New Year, Engineer Xia!" Zhao Tianshan strode over, his voice booming.

"Hey Lao Zhao, Happy New Year! I hope everyone had a great time last night!"

Summer responded with a smile.

"Of course, it's been a long time since it's been this lively."

"Everyone is hoping that things will get better and better in the new year in Bashang."

Zhao Tianshan said with a face full of anticipation.

At this moment, Feng Cheng also came over, holding a book on forestry in his hand.

"Engineer Xia, I was just thinking about that."

"Could we make the literacy classes more comprehensive for the New Year?"

"In addition to basic cultural knowledge, we should also talk about more in-depth forestry techniques."

"This will definitely be more helpful to our afforestation work."

After listening to Feng Cheng's words, Xia Tian nodded.

"That's a great idea!"

"Feng Cheng, do as you say."

We need to ensure that everyone can not only read and do arithmetic, but also understand some essential tree-planting knowledge.

"Will this be helpful for my future work?"

As they were talking, Old Wei came out of the kitchen.

Holding a steaming hot breakfast in my hand.

"Xia, team leader, Feng, come and have breakfast!"

"Today is the first day of the Lunar New Year, so I specially cooked extra porridge so that everyone can eat something warm."

"it is good!"

After breakfast.

Summer was originally meant to be a day of rest for everyone.

After all, it's the Lunar New Year.

However, everyone's enthusiasm for learning was high, and they all requested that the literacy classes continue.

Xia Tian consulted Feng Cheng for his opinion.

After realizing he had no objections, they let them be.

Down below the dam.

Forestry Bureau.

"Happy New Year, Lao Qu!"

Yu Zhenglai pushed open the door to the office of the director of the Weichang County Forestry Bureau.

"Old Yu, when did you get back?"

Qu He was looking at the snow scene outside the window, thinking about his wife.

Upon seeing Yu Zheng enter, he excitedly stood up to greet him.

"Old Qu, I came back just before the Lunar New Year."

Yu Zhenglai was also very excited to see his old buddy.

"That's why I came to find you right after I finished celebrating the New Year at home."

"Old Yu, is everything going smoothly this time?"

Qu He poured water for Yu Zhenglai while asking him a question.

"Haha, everything's going smoothly, everything's going well!"

Yu Zhenglai sat on the stool, looked at Qu He, and answered with a smile.

After pouring water for Yu Zheng, Qu He quickly sat down in front of him.

"Old Yu, tell me quickly!"

Qu He looked at Yu Zhenglai with great curiosity in her heart.

"This time, I traveled from Beiping with the leaders of the ministry."

"We first went to Northeast Forestry College, and then to Fengtian Forestry University."

"After that, I traveled south and went to Tianjin Forestry University."

"From Tianjin, I went to Jinling Forestry University."

"Then I transferred from Nanjing to Hankou Forestry College."

"After finishing my business, I went from Hankou Forestry College to Southwest Forestry University."

"He then transferred from Southwest Forestry University to Chang'an Agricultural and Forestry University."

"Then I went from Chang'an Agricultural and Forestry University to Jincheng Forestry College."

"Finally, I went from Jincheng Forestry College to Hohhot Forestry College."

"This time, the ministry leaders took me to visit forestry universities all over the country."

"To recruit soldiers for our Saihanba."

"I feel like we can recruit at least twenty or thirty college students this time!"

"That's great, Lao Yu."

"With so many college students, Saihanba is saved."

Qu He said to Zheng with great excitement.

"Yes!"

As Yu Zheng listened to Qu He's words, images of Saihanba's future also appeared in his mind.

What none of them knew was that in the near future, reality would deliver a devastating blow to them.

While Qu He and Yu Zheng were envisioning the bright future of Saihanba.

Northeast Forestry University.

Meng Yue did not go home for winter vacation this year.

Because his job application was rejected.

He was unfortunately assigned to Saihanba.

Before the winter break.

Their advisor told them.

The school decided to send someone to Saihanba to participate in the work.

The school has a total of five places.

However, no one wanted to go to Saihanba, where conditions were harsh.

Therefore, the school decided to allocate the five spots by lottery.

Their advisor successfully drew the spot.

Then, by sheer bad luck, Meng Yue was chosen as the winner of the draw.

Meng Yue, who was drawn as the winner, felt like the sky had fallen.

She had also inquired privately about ways to avoid going to Saihanba.

That means using connections.

Then the spot will be given away.

However, Meng Yue's family had some connections.

However, this connection might still be quite effective in their local area.

Once you leave their territory, you can't get a word in edgewise.

Meng Yue's dream of working with her boyfriend was shattered by her bad luck.

Although Qin Xuemei's father was the vice minister of the Ministry of Forestry.

However, Meng Yue, who is very strong-willed at heart, was unwilling to use this relationship.

Even though she knew that by using this connection, she wouldn't have to go to Saihanba.

Therefore, Meng Yue did not go home for winter vacation this year.

She stayed at school and tried to figure something out.

See if there's a chance I won't have to work in Saihanba.

However, the results were always disappointing.

She was just too lucky; out of more than 30 students in the class, she was the one who drew that spot.

Looking at the empty dormitory, Meng Yue sighed silently.

After sitting at the table for a long time and pondering, he finally let out a long sigh of resignation.

"Hey~"

Meng Yue picked up a pen from the table and began to write a letter.

On the other side, in Beiping City.

The atmosphere at Vice Minister Qin's home was somewhat somber.

"Old Tan, are you telling the truth?"

Vice Minister Qin looked at the person who had been by his side for half his life.

Although reluctant, I finally nodded.

“Peiyun, Mu Niang’s mother is still alive, so I want to bring her to Beiping.”

Jin Peiyun listened to Qin Qiufeng's words, sat on the sofa, and remained silent.

She didn't know what to say.

She knew that Qin Qiufeng had a wife and a daughter.

Although she had been mentally prepared, she still didn't know what to do when the moment actually came.

She originally thought that Qin Qiufeng's first wife had died in the war.

How did she happen to encounter something with such a low probability of occurrence?
