Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 321 The Stimulated Summer

The first snow of the year arrived in Saihanba as scheduled.

Summer sat quietly in the technical department office, watching the snowflakes fluttering outside the window.

I have been in this world for ten years.

In the blink of an eye, Xia Tian has gone from an eighteen-year-old young man to a seasoned veteran.

His status has also risen from a nobody to a full-fledged division-level cadre.

These days, summer is all about getting promoted, making money, and getting married—the only thing missing is getting married.

Xia Tian was sitting at his desk contemplating life when Wei Fugui'er pushed open the door and entered.

"Xia Gong!"

Seeing Wei Fugui walk in looking very reserved, Xia Tian asked him to sit down.

"Old Wei, come and sit down!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Fugui walked to the desk, pulled up a chair, and sat down.

"What's wrong, Lao Wei?"

After Wei Fugui'er was seated, Xia Tian finally spoke.

"Mr. Xia, I've come to ask you for a day off!"

"I want to go back to my hometown to burn some paper money for my mother and see my younger siblings!"

Hearing Wei Fugui's words, Xia Tian smiled and said.

"Okay, Lao Wei, I'll approve a month's leave for you. Is that enough?"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Wei Fugui quickly waved his hand in refusal.

"It won't take that long, Engineer Xia!"

"Half a month is enough!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian thought for a moment and then spoke.

"It's alright, there's nothing much going on at the forest farm right now. Go back and spend more time with your younger siblings!"

"Thank you, Engineer Xia!"

"By the way, Lao Wei, I've never asked you, how many people are in your family? How old are your younger siblings?"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Wei Fugui responded.

"It's just me and my three younger siblings left in my family!"

"My father passed away early, and my mother passed away a couple of years ago!"

"My eldest child is already twenty-five!"

"The second child is already twenty!"

"The youngest is still young, only seventeen!"

Xia Tian nodded upon hearing this.

"Here's what you'll do: when you get back this time, discuss it with your younger siblings!"

"If possible, let them all come to the forest farm!"

"The forest farm is currently in a period of rapid development, but it is also in dire need of manpower!"

"If they're willing, your whole family can be reunited!"

Xia Tian decided to lend a hand to Wei Fugui, this simple and honest man.

"Really, Engineer Xia?"

Wei Fugui was clearly pleasantly surprised by this unexpected good news.

"Of course, when have I ever lied?"

Summer smiled and spoke.

"That's great, Engineer Xia, thank you!"

As Wei Fugui spoke, he was about to get up and kowtow to Xia Tian.

Fortunately, Xia Tian reacted quickly and grabbed him.

"Old Wei, what are you doing?"

"Engineer Xia, I don't know how to thank you!"

"What are you saying? You're from the advance team, one of my soldiers!"

"It just so happens that the forest farm is about to establish a branch farm, and I'm short-staffed right now!"

"Just consider it helping me out!"

Hearing Xia Tian's words, Wei Fugui'er felt even more moved.

"Alright, take the leave slip and go to the General Affairs Department to get a letter of introduction!"

Xia Tian handed the written leave slip to Wei Fugui.

Wei Fugui took the leave slip but did not leave.

"What's wrong? Is there anything else?"

Xia Tian looked at Wei Fugui'er, who was standing still, and spoke again.

"Mr. Xia, I...I want to get married!"

Wei Fugui closed his eyes, steeled his resolve, and spoke directly.

"what?!"

Xia Tian was completely bewildered by Wei Fugui's sudden words.

"You're getting married? To whom?"

"Of course, it's with Xiao Ji!"

Upon hearing Xia Tian's question, Wei Fugui answered matter-of-factly.

"Really?!"

"Congratulations, Lao Wei! You've finally achieved your goal!"

Actually, I felt a little bittersweet in my heart during the summer.

Especially after Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei, and Wei Fugui and Ji Xiurong successively got married.

He was suffering inside, but he didn't say anything.

"Great news! Great news!"

"If you want to get married, you need to go and submit a report to Director Yu!"

"Once you submit your report to Director Yu and get approval, you'll be entitled to half a month of wedding leave!"

After listening to Xia Tian's words, Wei Fugui nodded seriously.

"Mr. Xia, what other materials do we need to prepare for the wedding?"

"No materials are needed."

"You and Comrade Xiurong go to see Director Yu and ask him to give you a letter of introduction."

"After that, we can go to the county and get our marriage certificate!"

"Okay, I understand. Thank you, Engineer Xia!"

Wei Fugui left the technical department office with profuse thanks.

Not long after Wei Fugui left, the technical department office welcomed another unexpected person.

"Da Kui, what do you need me for?"

Seeing Da Kui appear in the office, Xia Tian asked curiously.

"Mr. Xia, I'm here to ask for leave!"

Da Kui looked at Xia Tian, ​​and this usually carefree man from Rehe was now somewhat shy.

"Are you also asking for leave?"

What kind of leave are you requesting?

"I need to ask for leave to visit my family. I'd like to take a couple of days off to go home!"

"Take Meixiang back with you so your family can see her!"

"If possible, let's try to get this done before the end of this year!"

After hearing what Da Kui said, Xia Tian's expression instantly turned into that of an old man on the subway.

Xia Tian had a fairly deep impression of Wang Meixiang, Na Da Kui's girlfriend.

After all, she was the only woman in the technical maintenance team.

"Good guy!"

"Did they plan this out beforehand?"

"How much of a blow is this to a single person?"

"Did you even consider his feelings?"

Summer was internally ranting and raving.

"Xia, are you alright?"

Seeing Xia Tian remain silent for a long time, Da Kui couldn't help but speak up.

"Oh, I'm fine!"

"When did you and Comrade Meixiang meet?"

Surprisingly, Da Kui, who seemed honest and unassuming, was the third member of the advance team to find a partner.

This is much faster than Sui Zhichao's.

Sui Zhichao has been pursuing her relentlessly for several years, but he still hasn't won her heart!

Surprisingly, it was Da Kui, who usually seemed unassuming, who found a partner first.

"Okay, I've approved this leave for you!"

Summer handed the leave slip to Na Da Kui and offered her her sincere blessings.

"There's not much to say, just wishing you a long and happy life together!"

"Okay, thank you, Engineer Xia!"

Da Kui took the leave slip from Xia Tian, ​​thanked him, and left the technical department office.

Xia Tian watched Da Kui's departing figure and pondered to himself.

Should I also speed up my pace?

Feng Cheng is no match for him, but he absolutely cannot lose to Zhao Tianshan.

I don't want to be still single when even Zhao Tianshan has won over Zhang Manling.

If something like that really happens, it will be incredibly embarrassing.

Zhao Tianshan, who was seeking advice from Feng Cheng, suddenly sneezed for no apparent reason.

Zhao Tianshan scratched his head and tightened his clothes.
