Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

On the other side, college students gathered in the cafeteria.

"Oh dear, did the leaders bring any letters with them when they came to the dam this time?"

Shen Mengyin, who was eating a steamed bun with oat flour on the side, suddenly spoke up.

"Yes, it's been over a month. By now, some letters should have been delivered."

Ji Xiurong, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but chime in.

"Do you think the leaders might be so busy inspecting the saplings that they've forgotten to send us a message?"

Shen Mengyin suddenly put forward a bold hypothesis.

"Oh dear, I miss my mom so much!"

"I wonder how they are doing in Shanghai."

Shen Mengyin spoke, revealing that she did indeed miss her parents.

And she has something very important to do.

When I wrote the last letter, I asked my parents for their opinions.

I'm already eager to get answers from my parents.

Yan Xiangli, who was standing to the side, chimed in with a comment.

"Yes, it's been more than a month. There's no way my family wouldn't write to me."

"They're only thinking about the survival rate, what about faith?"

"Could someone have lost it?"

As soon as Shen Mengyin finished speaking, Xia Tian and the other two pushed open the door and entered.

"Hey, everyone's here?"

"what's the topic?"

Summer asked curiously.

After more than three months of getting along, the advance team and the college students had barely managed to get along.

"Oh dear, Director Qu, you didn't bring a message with you this time, did you?"

The bolder Ji Xiurong saw Qu Hehe and Yu Zheng arrive and immediately began to ask questions.

Qu He was clearly taken aback by Ji Xiurong's question.

A letter to the people of Bashang—such a trivial matter was clearly not within Qu He's consideration.

"Hey, sisters, don't rush!"

At this moment, Sui Zhichao, who was standing to the side, could no longer sit still.

He didn't expect Qu Hehe and Yu Zheng to suddenly come in.

"These letters are all with me!"

"I'm just thinking that since there are a lot of letters coming up this time, I'll distribute them all at once once everyone is here!"

Sui Zhichao quickly took out a stack of envelopes from his bag.

"I wasn't just thinking about having some fun together."

"We are revolutionary comrades, we should share happiness together!"

Yu Zhenglai greatly approved of Sui Zhichao's clownish behavior.

"Comrade Sui Zhichao is right! Revolutionary comrades should share happiness together!"

"Okay, then you guys go ahead and share!"

"We two old comrades won't bother you any longer!"

"Master Wei, please get us some food, we're going out to eat!"

Yu Zhenglai pulled Qu He to the cafeteria window and asked Lao Wei to get them a dish.

Wei Fugui quickly prepared the dishes.

"You two continue, we won't disturb you any longer!"

After Yu Zheng finished speaking, he happily left the cafeteria with Qu He.

There aren't so many rules in summer, and besides, he's a young man from Bashang.

In the summer, he went to the cafeteria window and asked Wei Fugui for a dish.

He took it to the table and started eating as if no one else was around.

Seeing that the two leaders had left, Sui Zhichao cleared his throat.

Do you have any for me?

"Where's mine? Where's mine?"

Looking at the envelope in Sui Zhichao's hand, the female comrades felt embarrassed because there were leaders present earlier.

Now that the leaders have all left, they naturally no longer hold back.

They swarmed around Sui Zhichao.

"Step back, step back, all of you! I'll call out whose name you want to come up!"

Sui Zhichao began to put on an act.

Hearing Sui Zhichao's words, the women decided not to try and take it by force.

They could only obediently take a few steps back.

However, his eyes never left the envelope in Sui Zhichao's hand.

"Whose is it?"

Sui Zhichao looked at the envelope in his hand, examining it again and again.

In fact, he had already sorted out all the letters.

"Shen Mengyin, two letters!"

Finally, Sui Zhichao read out the first name.

"Mine, mine!"

Shen Mengyin quickly stepped forward and took the envelope from Sui Zhichao's hand.

Shen Mengyin was very happy to see the handwriting on the envelope.

"They were all written to me by my mom!"

Just as she was about to open it to see what was inside, Sui Zhichao stopped her.

"Wait a minute, don't take it apart yet."

“You female classmates cried after reading the letter.”

"Eating while crying is bad for your stomach."

"We agreed that no one would open this letter."

"Let's finish our meal happily, and then we'll dismantle it when we get back."

Shen Mengyin listened to Sui Zhichao's words and felt that what he said made sense.

So he silently put the letter away.

"Yan Xiangli, four seals!"

Sui Zhichao then read out the next name.

"so much?"

Ji Xiurong, who was standing to the side, picked up the conversation as a proper straight man.

“One letter each for my mom, my eldest sister, my second sister, and my third sister.”

Yan Xiangli was very happy and said casually.

"Old Wei, I have a letter for you!"

Sui Zhichao glanced at the next letter and called out towards the kitchen.

"And mine too!"

Wei Fugui was busy in the canteen when he heard Sui Zhichao's words and quickly ran out of the kitchen.

"Hey, you're from home!"

Wei Fugui took the envelope and saw that it was a letter from home.

He happily put the envelope away, planning to read it carefully after he finished his work.

"Old Zhang, it's yours!"

Sui Zhichao continued reading the name; it was Zhang Fulin's letter.

Zhang Fulin was very happy to hear that he had received a letter.

However, when he took the envelope and looked at it, his expression changed drastically.

However, he hid it very well.

"Old Zhang, who gave you the message?"

Dayong and Erhuang looked over curiously, having been on the dam together for so long.

They had never seen Zhang Fulin receive a letter before.

"Hey buddy!"

Zhang Fulin explained in a low voice.

"Alright, alright, Dayong, Xiaohuang, you two."

Sui Zhichao interrupted their curiosity and handed them the letter.

As expected, the two men were captivated by the letter in their hands and stopped paying attention to Zhang Fulin.

"Captain, four seals!"

Sui Zhichao continued reading the next person's name.

"It must be a letter from an old comrade-in-arms."

When Zhao Tianshan heard Sui Zhichao call his name, he stood up from his seat.

"Old comrade-in-arms!"

Zhao Tianshan took the envelope and saw that it was indeed a letter from his old comrade-in-arms.

"Qin Xuemei, two letters!"

Qin Xuemei stopped eating when she heard Sui Zhichao's voice.

He took the letter from Sui Zhichao with great curiosity.

She has not received any letters since she went to the dam.

I received two emails at once this time.

Looking at the letter in her hand and the unfamiliar handwriting, Qin Xuemei couldn't help but feel curious.

"Sui Zhichao, two letters!"

Then, Sui Zhichao took out two letters with a sense of ceremony and transferred them from his left hand to his right.

"My husband wrote it for me; my mom can't read!"

"Da Kui, send one!"

Then came Da Kui, who took the letter and looked at the familiar handwriting.

I knew it was a letter from home.

"I guess they're pressuring me to find a wife again!"

Da Kui didn't even need to read the letter to guess what was going on.

Da Kui turned his gaze to Ji Xiurong, who was standing to the side.

However, Ji Xiurong completely ignored Da Kui's gaze.

Instead, she looked at Yan Xiangli with deep affection.

……

"Ji Xiurong, four titles!"

Then came four more letters, all from Ji Xiurong.

“One letter each to my mom, my eldest sister, my second sister, and my third sister.”

Upon hearing Ji Xiurong say almost exactly the same thing as Yan Xiangli, Sui Zhichao blurted it out.

"Hey Ji Xiurong, is this some kind of secret code between you and Yan Xiangli?"

"I want you to take care of it!"

Ji Xiurong retorted directly to Sui Zhichao's teasing.

This infuriated Da Kui, who was standing nearby.

At this moment, Meng Yue, who was standing to the side, was already getting impatient.

"What about mine? What about mine!"

As he spoke, he prepared to snatch it from Sui Zhichao.

"Meng Yue, twenty-one letters!"

Sui Zhichao, seeing Meng Yue's eagerness, deliberately delayed for a while.

He had just given the letter to Meng Yue when he deliberately announced it aloud.

Summer sat to the side, and upon hearing this number, she couldn't help but feel a stirring in her heart.

"Sui Zhichao, you're so annoying~"

Meng Yue snatched the letter from Sui Zhichao's hand.

Several girls looked at the letter in Meng Yue's hand and couldn't help but feel envious.

"Don't worry, it's not all yours, there's also a letter!"

Sui Zhichao then added another sentence.

"There's another letter?"

"Whose could this be?"

Everyone couldn't help but speculate.

"It was Commander Xia!"

Meng Yue looked at the envelope in her hand, which read "Received by Xia Tian, ​​Forestry Bureau of Weichang County".

"mine!"

Xia Tian was surprised to hear this and wondered how it involved her.

Meng Yue looked at the envelope in her hand and calmed her chaotic thoughts.

He walked slowly up to Xia Tian and handed her the letter.

"Thank you!"

Xia Tian saw Meng Yue hand him the letter, took it casually, and placed it on the table.

He said "thank you" to Meng Yue, then lowered his head and quickly started eating.

……

In the summer, sitting in the dugout of the old camp, he casually tossed a piece of mutton to Chang Wei.

Curious, he opened the letter and began to read it.

As summer approached, she noticed something was amiss.

Because he didn't know the person who wrote him the letter at all.

The letter left him completely bewildered.

On the other side, in the girls' dormitory.

"My mom, I miss my mom!"

Shen Mengyin looked at the letter in her hand and forcibly suppressed the urge to cry.

"Mengyin, don't cry!"

"Who said I cried? I didn't cry!"

Shen Mengyin sniffed her delicate little nose and looked at Ji Xiurong, who had spoken.

"Okay, okay, you didn't cry, you didn't cry!"

Ji Xiurong looked at the letter in her hand with a happy expression.

"I am willing to give up our love."

"Integrate into the great revolutionary ideals."

"In the colorful years."

"Playing the stirring melody of youth."

Shen Mengyin quietly walked over and picked up one of Meng Yue's letters.

After reading it once, he began to recite it with great expression.

Although Meng Yue appeared to be reading the letter, her mind was no longer on its contents.

Although her boyfriend's poems are still very poetic.

But for some reason, she just couldn't concentrate on it.

"Shen Mengyin, you're so annoying, you peeked at other people's letters."

"Hey, when do you think I'll meet a boyfriend who writes me twenty-one letters a month?"

Shen Mengyin looked at Meng Yue with some emotion.

"You probably won't find a boyfriend who writes you 21 letters a month."

"However, there is one person who can sing twenty-one verses of clapper talk for you in a day."

Ji Xiurong walked over and teased Shen Mengyin.

"Oh, you mean Sui Zhichao?"

"No way, I'm so annoyed with him!"

"Even if I never get married in this lifetime, I will never look for him."

……

"Xuemei, who wrote you this letter? Why aren't you reading it?"

"I don't know either. One letter came from Beiping, and the other came from the school."

Qin Xuemei smiled; she planned to go to the laboratory to take a look later.

"All right!"

In the cafeteria, Sui Zhichao was sitting in his seat, looking at the letter in his hand and bursting into tears.

He looked exactly like a child weighing around 200 pounds.

"Mom, I miss you too!"

Just as Sui Zhichao was crying like a child, Shen Mengyin pushed open the door and entered.

"Hey, why are you crying here?"

Shen Mengyin originally wanted to go out for a walk by herself.

In her reply, her mother told her to follow her heart.

Shen Mengyin's mind was in turmoil.

So she wanted to go for a walk alone to calm her chaotic mind.

She dared not go to faraway places alone.

After thinking it over, the only reason is that there's no one in the cafeteria right now.

So she made an excuse to go out and get hot water, and came to the cafeteria alone.

As soon as I arrived at the cafeteria entrance, I heard Sui Zhichao crying.

"My mom said she misses me!"

"And those twisted fried dough sticks, the post office won't send them!"

"I'm afraid it'll be crushed into greasy bits by the time it arrives!"

"Mom~"

Shen Mengyin's words made Sui Zhichao even more heartbroken.

"Alright, alright, that's enough!"

"do not Cry!"

"My mom said she missed me too, but look at me, I didn't cry!"

As Shen Mengyin spoke, she placed the thermos flask she was holding on the table.

Then he sat down directly next to Sui Zhichao.

Upon hearing Shen Mengyin's words, Sui Zhichao immediately stopped crying.

"Learn from Comrade Shen Mengyin!"

"Approach work and life with optimism."

"Alright, alright, stop joking around!"

Shen Mengyin listened to Sui Zhichao's words and said somewhat awkwardly.

“Sui Zhichao, what if I asked you to recite twenty-one clapper talk pieces for me in a day? What do you say?”

Shen Mengyin suddenly remembered what Ji Xiurong had said earlier.

"I, I'll talk!"

"Shen Mengyin, would you like to be my girlfriend?"

"Forget about twenty-one segments a day, I could talk to you from one in the morning until midnight."

"Twenty-three hours? Please, no more!"

"I felt like throwing up after listening to you for 23 minutes."

"Mengyin, there are only two people like this in Bashang..."

"Stop talking, I already have someone in my heart!"

Shen Mengyin interrupted Sui Zhichao immediately upon hearing his words.

"Who?"

Upon hearing Shen Mengyin's words, Sui Zhichao immediately became anxious.

"Could it be Commander Xia?"

Sui Zhichao thought for a moment, and realized that there were only a few people in Bashang.

Wu Yansheng and Yan Xiangli were ruled out first.

Da Kui can also be excluded.

The remaining people were Xia Tian, ​​Feng Cheng, and Zhao Tianshan.

As for Wei Fugui'er, Zhang Fulin, Dayong, and Xiaohuang.

Sui Zhichao subconsciously excluded them.

If we're talking about who's the best in Bashang, then summer is definitely in a league of its own.

They are far ahead.

And most importantly, it seems that Xia Tian doesn't have a girlfriend either.

"Sui Zhichao, what nonsense are you talking about?"

Shen Mengyin was stunned by Sui Zhichao's words, and then she realized what he meant.

Although Xia Tian is handsome and outstanding.

But Shen Mengyin's first act of kindness in the summer was a disaster.

Even now, she doesn't dare to be alone with Xia Tian.

"It's not Commander Xia!"

"That's Feng Cheng!"

"But that doesn't make sense either, you and Feng Cheng don't really have any connection!"

Seeing that Sui Zhichao's words were becoming increasingly outrageous, Shen Mengyin was about to refute them.

……
