Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

After inspecting the school, the group parted ways.

Xia Tian then took Meng's father and mother to Huang Ziming's office.

"Cousin, these are my father-in-law and mother-in-law."

"Dad, Mom, this is my cousin, who is also the first deputy director of our forest farm."

"Director Huang, hello!"

"Uncle, aunt, hello!"

Huang Ziming quickly stood up, shook hands with the two of them warmly, and then invited them to sit down.

"No need to call me 'Factory Manager,' just call me Ziming!"

"Okay, then I'll take the plunge today."

Upon hearing this, Meng's father nodded with a smile.

"Uncle and Aunt, when did you arrive at the forest farm?"

"We just arrived this morning!"

"That's it!"

"Uncle and Aunt, since you're here in Saihanba, why not stay a few more days!"

"Cousin, my parents-in-law aren't leaving this time!"

"I invited them to teach in Saihanba this time."

"We've already met with Director Yu and confirmed this!"

"Teaching?"

"That's right, didn't our forest farm establish a primary school at the farm headquarters?"

"It just so happens that my father-in-law and mother-in-law have both worked in the education administration field for many years."

“There is also a significant shortage of teachers at our primary school, so this is not a coincidence for me.”

Xia Tian explained it to Huang Ziming again.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Xia Tian left with Meng's parents.

……

Time flew by and it was June 29, 1965.

Forestry Farm Meeting Room.

"The reason I called you all here today is to discuss matters related to the development of new Party members in the forest farm's Party branch."

"With the approval of the higher-level Party organization, it is agreed that nine comrades, including Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei, will officially become Party members."

"This is the list of party members, please take a look!"

Yu Zhenglai handed the document in his hand to Huang Ziming on his left.

"My idea is that we can hold an admission ceremony for all the new party members on the day of the founding of the party."

After handing over the documents, Yu Zhenglai picked up the teacup on the table, took a sip of water, and then continued speaking.

"I agree!"

"I agree!"

"Okay, then it's settled."

"There's another matter, which concerns the teachers at our farm's primary school."

"The higher authorities have given approval, saying that a group of recent graduates from normal universities will be coming to work in Saihanba in the next few days."

"Director Huang, could you please take care of the reception arrangements for this college student?"

"We must not let college students suffer any injustices in their lives, understand?"

"Don't worry, Director Yu, leave it to me!"

Huang Ziming nodded and wrote the matter down in his notebook.

"Alright, that's all for now, meeting adjourned!"

Everyone got up from their seats and left the meeting room.

Two days later, on July 1, 1965.

On this day, all the staff of Saihanba Forest Farm gathered in the auditorium.

"Congratulations, Comrade Feng Cheng!"

Yu Zhenglai personally pinned a Party member badge on Feng Cheng's collar.

"Thank you, Manager Yu!"

"From today onwards, you are a member of the Communist Party!"

"I will be even more strict with myself in the future."

"It definitely will, Director Yu!"

Yu Zheng looked Feng Cheng over and nodded in satisfaction.

He then patted Feng Cheng on the shoulder as encouragement.

"Congratulations to Comrade Qin Xuemei as well!"

"Thank you, Manager Yu!"

"Comrade Meng Yue..."

Yu Zhenglai then personally pinned the Party member badges on the remaining new Party members.

"All Party members, please stand up and join me in swearing an oath to the Party flag."
