Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

That night.

The canteen of the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County.

Apart from Xia Tian, ​​every single one of the group of grown men was completely drunk.

Even the two women drank quite a bit.

Qu He and Yu Zheng hugged each other and cried bitterly.

If there were a camera, Xia Tian would definitely record their embarrassing moments.

The nights in late spring are still a bit chilly.

Xia Tian called over two security guards on duty.

They sent all the leaders present to their dormitories to rest.

In the summer, she would clean up the mess on the table all by herself.

Early the next morning.

Yu Zheng came to find Xia Tian.

I earnestly asked Xia Tian to take care of Feng Cheng.

Summer was no problem, so I readily agreed.

"Comrades, I'm leaving!"

Yu Zhenglai stood at the entrance of the Forestry Bureau.

Everyone in the Weichang County Forestry Bureau was standing at the entrance.

We sent Director Yu to take up his post in Chengde.

Yu Zheng waved and hugged Qu He, Engineer Chen, and Xia Tian respectively.

He then strode away from the Weichang County Forestry Bureau.

I boarded a special bus bound for Chengde.

"Xia, when are we going to the dam?"

Afterwards, Engineer Chen found Xia Tian and asked her a question.

"Engineer Chen, you can't go up to the dam anymore!"

"why?"

"There have been major personnel changes in the bureau recently."

"You need to stay in the bureau and help Director Qu."

"Moreover, people can't be left behind here down below the dam."

"We cannot focus only on the dam area and neglect the work below it."

"The nursery is now basically on track, and I can manage it all by myself."

"You're the deputy director now, you can't just focus on the dam area!"

Summer patiently and earnestly persuaded Engineer Chen.

Chen nodded in agreement after hearing Xia Tian's words.

"Alright, Xia, I won't go up the dam for now!"

"If you encounter any difficulties in the dam area, please report them to the bureau immediately!"

"Don't worry, Engineer Chen!"

……

"Xia, I originally wanted you to be the head of the political work section."

"But Lao Yu absolutely refused, so there was no other way but to let you take over Lao Chen's job."

Qu He looked at the dashing Xia Tian in front of him and felt quite emotional.

From the first time Qu He met Xia Tian, ​​he had a very good impression of him.

And summer lived up to expectations.

New breakthroughs and progress have been made in the successful tree planting work on the dam.

He also benefited from the situation and took the opportunity to advance further.

These melodies and hearts understand, and summer understands too; it's something unspoken.

"Hey, Uncle Qu, you're right. No matter what position you hold, it's all for the purpose of better serving the people!"

"You serve as the director of the Forestry Bureau, and I serve as the head of the Technical Section. Isn't it all for the sake of planting trees on the dam?"

"Xia, what you said is very insightful!"

"I should learn from you!"

"Uncle Qu, we should be learning from each other, complementing each other's strengths and making up for our weaknesses!"

"Yes, yes, let's learn from each other!"

"By the way, how's Feng Cheng doing in Bashang?"

Did he plant the trees properly?

As the conversation went on, it eventually turned to Feng Cheng.

"Not a single tree was missed!"

"However, I still feel sorry for those saplings!"

Summer said a few words in a very objective manner.

"He's only half-baked, someone who studied wood processing."

"How could someone who's just started planting trees possibly succeed?"

"Both Engineer Chen and I inspected the trees he planted."

"They planted them meticulously and neatly."

"However, a large number of saplings are stuck in the ground and will not survive at all."

"How many of those 500 seedlings will survive?"

Qu He asked with a serious expression.

"To be honest, not a single one will survive."

"The climate conditions in Saihanba are unique."

"If it were down below the dam, then about 100 of the seedlings he planted might survive."

"But that place happens to be in Bashang."

Summer's analysis was truthful.

"Hey~"

Qu He also sighed heavily after listening.

"But young people have a lot of tenacity."

“These past few days, despite his injuries, he has continued to water the saplings.”

"It's the same every single day, without fail."

Yu Zhenglai and Qu He both knew about Feng Cheng being beaten up.

However, neither of them said anything.

It seems everyone has tacitly accepted that this has happened.

"He was a good comrade, but it's a pity that Tang Qi's incident was such a blow to him!"

Qu He said with some emotion.

"Hey~"

Summer also sighs softly.

How should I put it about Tang Qi's situation?

Everyone got what they wanted.

Besides the victims Feng Cheng and Tang Qi.

But it's all in the past now, and there's no point in saying anything now.

"Hey, let's not talk about this anymore."

Qu He opened his mouth, breaking the somewhat heavy atmosphere in the office.

……

Bashang.

"No, what do you mean?"

Why won't you cook for me?

Feng Cheng angrily approached Xiao Pang, explaining that he hadn't been given dinner the previous night, but he had tolerated it.

He still didn't get his own breakfast this morning, fine, he put up with it.

But they still won't cook lunch for him today.

There may be one or two times, but not a third or fourth time, right?

Feng Cheng found Xiao Pang and wanted to argue with him.

"Hey, isn't this the top student from our Forestry Bureau's timber processing program?"

"What's wrong? Want to eat? Go cook for yourself!"

"Still acting like a young master? Expecting to be waited on hand and foot?"

"I'm sorry, this is the new China now. I have neither the responsibility nor the obligation."

Xiao Pang wasn't going to tolerate Feng Cheng, and immediately retorted.

"If you want to eat, the food is in the kitchen. Go and cook for yourself, young master!"

After saying that, Xiao Pang left without looking back.

Feng Cheng stood there, his face turning pale and then purple.

He didn't know how to refute Xiao Pang.

Because what Xiao Pang said is correct.

Xiao Pang has no obligation to cook for himself.

It's a favor to cook for him in the summer, but it's Xiao Pang's right not to cook for him.

What right does he have to demand that Xiao Pang cook for him?

The food is in the kitchen, why can't he cook it himself?

Feng Cheng, who had been woken up by Xiao Pang's scolding, didn't dawdle and went straight to the kitchen.

It's not that Feng Cheng can't cook.

It's just that from the very beginning, other people prepared the food, and I just went and ate it.

Subconsciously, I thought that all I needed to do was eat.

in the afternoon.

Summer returned to Bashang alone.

There was no one at the camp.

Xiao Pang went to the nursery, and Feng Cheng went to water his saplings.

Summer tidied up a bit and then went to the nursery.

As soon as they arrived at the nursery, Xiao Pang told him about Feng Cheng's actions in the past two days.

After hearing this, Xia Tian shook her head and chuckled.

"Xiao Pang, did you do the right thing?"

Xia Tian affirmed Xiao Pang's actions.

"You've worked hard these past two days. You can go down to the dam in a bit!"

"I won't keep you for dinner on the dam. Chef Liu at the bureau has stewed meat for tonight!"

"If we go back later, we'll be there in time for dinner!"

Xia Tian looked at Xiao Pang and said something.

"It's not hard work, Engineer Xia!"

"Then I'll head back now!"

Xiao Pang said something and left the nursery.

Xia Tian watched Xiao Pang's retreating figure, lost in thought.
