Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

"Xia, what do you think of my illness?"

"Hey, Engineer Chen, you don't need to worry too much!"

"According to traditional Chinese medicine, your illness is caused by poor lung qi circulation!"

"It's nothing serious. I'll prescribe you some medicine and give you acupuncture later!"

"Within a month, I guarantee your body will recover to the level of someone in their thirties or forties."

"Xia, you're not trying to make this old man happy, are you?"

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."

"You can have him later, sir!"

Although Chen still had doubts, he didn't want to discourage Xia Tian.

He is well aware of his own physical condition.

Silent all night.

Early the next morning.

Everyone got up early to get ready.

"Comrades, I observed the celestial phenomena last night and discovered that there might be an autumn rain this evening!"

"So our task today is to try to plant all 1000 seedlings we brought."

"Xia, you can even observe celestial phenomena at night?"

"Are you kidding us?"

The eight people who went up to the dam together listened to Xia Tian's words and looked at Xia Tian.

"Just consider this me playing a trick on you guys!"

Summer just smiled and didn't offer any further explanation.

"But we must plant these 1000 seedlings today!"

"Does everyone have confidence?"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

The shouts of the eight people echoed through the sky.

"Okay, let's go!"

Ten people brought seedlings and dry rations.

Heading towards the old pit where trees were planted last year.

On the way, Xia Tian carefully gave instructions to the other eight people.

"Everyone here is an experienced expert, so I won't go into detail about how to plant trees!"

"Don't plant haphazardly just to save time!"

"We must ensure both quality and quantity when planting the seedlings, even if we can't finish today!"

"Do you understand everything?"

"I understand, Engineer Xia, please rest assured!"

Engineer Chen followed behind the group, watching Xia Tian, ​​who had a commanding presence.

Satisfied nodded.

Soon, the 10 people arrived at the old pit.

"Xiao Liu, Xiao Huang, you two form a group!"

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Tian, ​​you two form a group."

"Xiao Ma, Xiao Sun, you two form a group."

"Xiao He, Xiao Yang. You two form a group."

"Engineer Chen is getting old, let's pair up!"

"No problem?"

"no problem!"

"Okay, let's get started, I'm just playing..."

……

"Engineer Chen, do you think these seedlings will survive?"

Summer was working while discussing things with Engineer Chen.

"In my opinion, it's risky!"

"Your theory that 'one's environment shapes one's character' is excellent!"

"It will be very difficult for these seedlings from below the dam to survive on the dam!"

"However, it doesn't matter if these seedlings don't survive. We've already found a new direction, haven't we?"

Engineer Chen looked at Xia Tian and smiled happily.

Summer listened to what Engineer Chen said and smiled happily as well.

"Yes!"

……

"Let's take a break, eat something, and then continue!"

Xia Tian glanced at the sky and called out to the eight people not far away.

Upon hearing this, the eight people quickly stopped what they were doing.

"Engineer Chen, please take a rest. I'll go check on what they've planted!"

"it is good!"

In summer, I followed the tree pit and looked at each tree one by one.

A little while later, Xia Tian checked the 600 seedlings that had already been planted!

"Good, everyone did a great job planting. After we go down to the dam, I will ask Director Yu for commendation on your behalf!"

In the summer, I checked on the seedlings that had already been planted, and everyone's seedlings were growing well.

Especially the row that Xiao Liu and his group planted.

"Alright, everyone keep going, let's try to finish before dusk!"

Summer looked up again and glanced at the sky.

The sky was cloudless, with no sign of rain.

The sun hung in the southwestern sky, and it was quite dazzling.

However, Xia Tian trusted her own judgment.

"Okay, Engineer Xia!"

Everyone responded and went back to work.

……

nautical miles.

Zhu Xi looked at the report his teacher had handed him and said to the guard.

"Go, go and call the master over here!"

"Yes."

Soon, the gentleman met with Zhu Xi.

"It's bound to work! This young man named Xia Tian is quite interesting!"

"This Xia Tian is Xia Shoushan's son!"

"..."

Zhu Xi asked a question.

"Xia Shoushan was originally from the Special Branch; he was one of my soldiers!"

"Later, he was betrayed by a traitor in Shanghai and fled to the Soviet area with his wife."

"Later, they followed us all the way to Shaanxi Province."

"He died on the battlefield during the liberation!"

"His mother came with us to Beiping, and she passed away two years ago!"

"This is the descendant of a hero!"

After hearing about Xia Tian's parents' experiences, I couldn't help but sigh.

"This kid is really promising. Two years ago, when the higher education institutions were reorganized, he was admitted to Beijing Forestry University!"

"I've seen his exam paper. With his level of ability, he'd be more than qualified to attend the Imperial University of Peking!"

"Moreover, he actively joined the Party while still in university!"

"I graduated with excellent grades and was recruited by the Ministry of Forestry."

"However, he did not work in the Ministry of Forestry, but instead volunteered to go to the grassroots level!"

"And they submitted this report!"

The man pointed to the report on the table.

"This child is quite thoughtful!"

Looking at the words "preventing and controlling desertification, planting trees and forests, protecting the capital, and protecting Chairman Mao" in the summer report.

"What a wonderful child!"

"Bicheng, what do you think we should do to reward this child?"

"I believe that giving no reward at all is the best reward!"

The gentleman suddenly said this.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Xi looked at his teacher with a puzzled expression.

"Yes, the best reward is no reward at all!"

Zhu Xi understood Bi Cheng's intentions; he wanted to protect the summer.

"In that case, classify Xia's file as top secret, and also classify his parents' files as top secret!"

"It'll definitely work! What do you think of this arrangement?"

"Okay, okay!"

The gentleman listened to Zhu Xi's words and nodded.

"Furthermore, have the Propaganda Department issue a document!"

"We urge forestry workers to be unafraid of difficulties and actively dedicate themselves to working in challenging areas!"

"In addition, we should encourage young students to go to the grassroots level!"

"Okay, I'll go and make the arrangements right away!"

Upon hearing this, the gentleman nodded and bid farewell to Zhu Xi.

……

Soon, a short message left the sea and passed by the Propaganda Department.

We arrived at the radio station.

"This is ZY People's Broadcasting Station. The following is a brief news report."

Chairman Mao called on young students to actively go deep into the grassroots.

"Actively engage with the people and actively participate in production and construction in the border regions!"

Chairman Mao issued the important instructions that "the countryside is a vast world where much can be accomplished" and "it is very necessary for educated youth to go to the countryside to receive re-education from the poor and lower-middle peasants!"

In Beiping, those who were observant upon hearing this breaking news quickly realized what was going on.

Meanwhile, a call to action from the chairman also appeared in the Rm Daily.
