Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Saihanba.

"Xia, you have to come down to the dam with us!"

In the summer, Yu Zhenglai was very tough.

"No, Uncle Yu, why?"

"I need to stay here on the dam to take care of the seedbeds!"

Summer was a little confused.

He was living a good life in Bashang, enjoying a life of luxury all by himself.

Over the past few months, he has definitely gained more than five pounds.

Fortunately, I practiced Tai Chi every day in the summer, so it wasn't that noticeable.

"Xia, you've been in Bashang for almost half a year now."

"Take a couple of days off at the dam, it's fine."

"Tell them your work and come down to the dam with us!"

Yu Zhenglai pointed to the few young people who had come up to the dam to help prepare the seedbeds.

Summer had no choice but to agree.

Yu Zheng has already gone this far, what can Xia Tian do?

Of course I agreed.

And so, Xia Tian followed Yu Zheng to the dam.

When he left, he left the truth with Xiao Liu.

……

The third day after the summer dam was built.

The Forestry Bureau suddenly received a letter from its superior department.

They said that two college students were coming to report to the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County.

This made Yu Zheng extremely happy.

They pulled several bureau leaders aside and started cleaning up.

Summer was also very puzzled, after all, apart from herself.

What idiot would come to this godforsaken place?

Beiping Station.

Feng Cheng and Tang Qi have already boarded the train to Chengde.

They were already envisioning a wonderful future life in Saihanba.

"Feng Cheng, will you love me forever?"

"Of course!"

Looking at the girl in his arms, Feng Cheng unconsciously hugged her even tighter.

"Don't think about it anymore, it's all in the past."

"Our new life is about to begin."

Tang Qi felt incredibly relieved after hearing Feng Cheng's words.

He had no idea what methods the man in front of him had used.

They actually exempted her from going to Xingkai Lake for labor re-education.

Furthermore, she was asked to transfer to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau under the guise of a job transfer.

Most importantly, he was willing to give up his life in the capital for me.

They accompanied me to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau.

……

Jiangtai Village, Bashang.

Li Tieniu can be said to be riding high on his success today.

Because he's going to talk about his wife today.

He spent a full 30 yuan as a bride price to find this wife.

Keep in mind that this was in an era when a worker's monthly salary was around 30 yuan.

It's clear how difficult it is for a farmer to come up with 30 yuan as a bride price.

Li Tieniu borrowed money from everyone in the village for this purpose.

Even the neighboring Shaquan Village borrowed money from a few close friends.

That's how they managed to scrape together the 30 yuan dowry.

But there's nothing we can do about it.

Why? Because his family lives on the dam.

There is only one wind blowing in the dam area all year round.

If his father-in-law hadn't gotten sick, he wouldn't have been able to find a wife for only 100 yuan.

Don't you see? There are plenty of bachelors in the village.

……

"Fellow villager, is this really Saihanba?"

Feng Cheng led Tang Qi, asking around all the way to Saihanba.

But the scene before me is nothing like what my mother described.

Where are there any beautiful high mountains?

It's clearly a sky full of yellow sand!

"This is Saihanba!"

The villagers looked at Feng Cheng, who was dressed smartly, and who was leading this pretty girl.

He then stopped and offered an explanation.

"Fellow villager, Saihanba is a combination of Manchu and Mongolian words, meaning beautiful high ridge."

"This is a desert, where is the beauty?"

The locals didn't understand the combination of Manchu and Mongolian; they only knew that this place was Saihanba.

The place where his ancestors lived for generations.

After the villager finished speaking, he looked at the sheep that had already walked away and then ignored Feng Cheng.

He quickly left to chase after his sheep.

Frustrated, Feng Cheng asked his fellow villager again.

How do I get to Jiangtai Village?

The fellow villager pointed in a direction and walked away.

"Tang Qi, there must be some mistake. I'll take you to find my uncle!"

Feng Cheng pulled Tang Qi aside and offered an explanation.

Tang Qi looked at the sky full of yellow sand, pursed his lips, but didn't say anything.

Anyway, she works for the Weichang County Forestry Bureau, not in this godforsaken place.

If Feng Cheng hadn't insisted on dragging her to visit his uncle, she wouldn't have come along.

Soon, Feng Cheng and Tang Qi appeared in Jiangtai Village.

"Crackling, crackling!"

Li Tieniu's home.

A string of firecrackers was set off.

"Excuse me, where does Li Tieniu live?"

Feng Cheng pulled Tang Qi aside, stopped a fellow villager, and asked him.

"Look, that's the house where they set off firecrackers!"

The villager pointed to the house that was setting off firecrackers and left.

"Who put it there?"

"Who put it there?"

Li Tieniu roared and rushed out of the inner room.

He was already overwhelmed by the fact that his new bride's family had suddenly increased the bride price.

As a result, these troublemakers even set off the only string of firecrackers they had ever bought.

Isn't this just making things worse?

Li Tieniu tried to stomp out the firecrackers, but to no avail.

We could only watch helplessly as the firecrackers went off with a "crackling" sound.

"Tie Niu, isn't this like getting married?"

"We guys just wanted to have some fun first, didn't we?"

"I only bought one string of firecrackers, just one string of firecrackers!"

Li Tieniu was very angry, but what was the use of being angry now that things had come to this?

"That string of firecrackers is for setting off when the new bride enters the house."

"If you put it out now, what will you put out when the new bride comes?"

"Blacksmith, you're so stingy! You're only buying a string of firecrackers for your wedding?"

Although the person knew he was in the wrong, he still turned the tables and complained.

"If you were drowning in debt, you'd be even stingier than me."

Li Tieniu thought to himself, but said nothing more.

"Tie Niu, are you sure you can handle this? My mother is waiting for my reply."

At this moment, the matchmaker standing nearby asked.

"Sister-in-law, that's not how you do it!"

"The bride price will be added on the wedding day?"

Li Tieniu said anxiously.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it; it's what my family demands."

The matchmaker sat down and said calmly.

What can she do?

Why did Li Tieniu have to live on the dam?

"Uncle!"

Just when Li Tieniu was feeling utterly helpless, a voice suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Feng Cheng!"

Li Tieniu heard the voice and looked up.

It turned out to be his eldest nephew, Feng Cheng.

He last met his eldest nephew, Feng Cheng, two years ago when his sister passed away.

"Who is this?"

Feng Cheng, leading Tang Qi, rushed over to Li Tieniu.

"This is my girlfriend, Tang Qi!"

"Tang Qi, this is the uncle I told you about!"

"Uncle!"

Despite his displeasure, Tang Qi couldn't refuse Feng Cheng's request.

"Uncle, I never expected that arriving early would be so much better than arriving at the right time!"

"I just happened to arrive in time to attend your wedding!"

"Let's have a good drink today."
