Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 340 Good Things Finally Come True

Readers who are following the story can reread the previous chapter.

Due to the author's mistake, the manuscript of another book was uploaded last night.

The author sincerely apologizes to the readers who have been following the story.

The romance subplot feels a bit abrupt, but it's been dragged out long enough for this part of the story.

Let's push the progress forward a bit and try to finish the main text by the end of the month.

……

Meng Yue lowered her head, her toes unconsciously tapping lightly on the ground.

Summer's words were like a key, unlocking the tightly closed door to her emotions.

She took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

"I'm not blaming you for keeping it from me, it's just that the difference is too great."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to fit into your world, and I'm also afraid of having a bad influence on you."

Xia Tian looked at Meng Yue with eyes full of tenderness and determination.

He stepped forward, bent down slightly, tried to meet Meng Yue's gaze, and said softly.

"Xiaoyue, in my heart, you are the most special person, and it has nothing to do with your family background."

I like you because you are kind, independent, and strong.

"It has nothing to do with any family background or external conditions."

I like you simply because you are you!

Hearing Xia Tian's heartfelt confession, Meng Yue's eyes reddened slightly.

The inner turmoil and unease began to waver at this moment.

Although Xia Tian said that, the thought of being abandoned by someone still made her hesitate.

At this moment, Mencius' parents, who had been secretly following not far away, were watching their every move with bated breath.

Mencius' mother gently tugged at Mencius' father's arm and whispered.

"Look, these two kids have started chatting. I wonder if they'll be able to talk things out."

Meng's father stared intently at him and responded in a low voice.

"Don't rush, let them explain themselves."

Even if we can't talk things out, it's always good to communicate!

Song Yamin stood aside, initially watching the two with interest.

But after a while, he just felt bored and kicked at the pebbles on the roadside aimlessly.

He has never been interested in these romantic and sentimental things.

Seeing that Meng Yue remained silent, Xia Tian continued.

"Xiaoyue, the road ahead may be bumpy, but as long as we face it together, there is nothing we can't overcome."

"If you feel uncomfortable, we can take it slow. I'm willing to wait until you're ready."

Meng Yue raised her head, tears glistening in her eyes.

Looking into Xia Tian's eyes, she saw sincerity and persistence in them.

Memories of the past few days with Xia Tian flooded my mind.

Her defenses finally crumbled completely, and she nodded gently, her voice slightly choked with emotion.

"Engineer Xia, I promise you!"

Summer's face instantly lit up with a bright smile, her eyes filled with joy and surprise.

He excitedly reached out and grasped Meng Yue's hand, saying...

"That's great, Xiaoyue. Trust me, we will definitely be very happy."

Meng Yue looked at their hands clasped tightly together.

The anxiety and unease in my heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of peace and sweetness.

Mencius' parents, who were not far away, exchanged a smile upon seeing this scene.

……

Beiping Hotel.

The two families sat down together again.

"Father-in-law, regarding the marriage of the two children..."

Aunt Xia looked at Meng's father and spoke.

"I will follow my in-laws' arrangements."

Xia Tian and Meng Yue were mutually willing, and their families quickly agreed on the marriage.

They waited for an auspicious day and held their wedding in the capital.

However, according to Xia Tian's idea, a wedding must also be held in Saihanba.

After all, Xia Tian and Meng Yue's friends and colleagues all worked in Saihanba.

This suggestion was supported by Aunt Xia.

Thus, the wedding in the capital naturally turned into an engagement banquet.

We won't make a big fuss about it; we'll just invite a few people to our home for our engagement party.

Although the storm has not yet started, there are already faint whispers of it.

To avoid drawing too much attention, Xia Tian quickly reached an agreement with her aunt.

……

Inside the Huang family compound.

Huang Ziheng looked at Xia Tian and patted him on the shoulder.

"Xiao Tian, ​​congratulations on stepping into the grave of love."

Summer listened to her cousin's teasing and spoke up.

"Brother Heng, I advise you to find a grave and bury yourself as soon as possible."

"So that my aunt won't nag me all day long."

"I am not in a hurry."

"There's no one I like right now, let's see when the time comes!"

“My eldest brother already has children, so there’s no worry about who will take over the business.”

"I'll just live a life of leisure and wait to die!"

Huang Ziheng, however, took it all in stride.

"Brother Heng, you're so carefree."

"But in the end, I fear that once you're in the game, you're not in control of your own destiny!"

Upon hearing this, Huang Ziheng sighed.

Once they reach their position, many things are no longer within their control.

Now that you mention it, I'm actually a little envious of you!

Life is like a walled city!

"Those outside the city wanted to rush in, while those inside the city wanted to escape."

"Whether it's marriage or career."

"Most people's wishes in life are like this."

Summer suddenly remembered a quote from Yang Jiang and blurted it out.

"Hey, Xiao Tian, ​​what you said actually makes a lot of sense."

"This is a spontaneous expression of my feelings!"

"Brother Heng, if you have time, you must come to Saihanba for your brother's wedding!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely be there if I have time."

"Well, it's settled then!"

"Then I'll leave first!"

……

April 19, 1965, the 4th day of the third month in the lunar calendar of the year of Yi Si.

This is an auspicious day for marriage.

Summer finally got his wish and won the heart of his beloved.

Inside the Liu family compound.

Summer was spent with her cousin from her uncle's family, welcoming and seeing off guests.

"Xiao Tian, ​​congratulations!"

My aunt and uncle arrived first in the summer.

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you, Uncle."

Next came my aunt and uncle.

Soon, Xia Tian and her family, along with her uncle and his close associates, all arrived.

Just as everyone sat down and were about to begin their meal, an unexpected guest arrived at the Liu family compound.

"Sir, what brings you here?"

"Xia, I heard you're getting engaged today, so I came all this way to ask for a drink at your wedding!"

"I just don't know if you'd welcome this uninvited old man."

The gentleman smiled very kindly.

"Sir, please come. I am overjoyed that you have come in person. How could I not welcome you?"

Summer very politely invited the gentleman to take the seat of honor.

"Old Liu, congratulations!"

The gentleman looked at Uncle Liu, Xia Tian's uncle, and offered his congratulations.

"Congratulations! I didn't expect you to come in person, sir."

"You've already sent me your invitations, how could I not come?"

"After all, Shou Shan was once one of my soldiers!"

"Please take a seat!"

Meng's father, sitting to the side, was completely stunned.

He had considered the background of summer to be profound, but he hadn't imagined it to be this profound!

This summer, he's no ordinary rich and handsome man!

He's Jin Xuanwu's son-in-law!

After the engagement banquet ended, the guests dispersed.

The gentleman called Xia Tian over alone, and the two sat in the quiet room of the Liu family.

No one knows what the two talked about.

All I know is that when the gentleman was leaving, the slight smile on his lips was impossible to hide.

The main hall of the Liu family.

Uncle Liu was sitting with Xia Tian, ​​while Meng's father and mother sat opposite them.

"Uncle, Aunt, please don't refuse anymore."

"The Saihanba Forest Farm is in dire need of reconstruction, and our forest farm plans to establish a school directly under the farm headquarters."

"It is precisely at a time when there is a shortage of educational talent that you two should help me out."

"And if Xiaoyue and I have children in the future, we will need your help to take care of them."

"Xiaoyue and I are busy with work, so it's inevitable that we'll miss some things."

When the topic of children came up, Mencius' mother was immediately tempted.

“Old man, I think Xia’s words make sense. Why don’t we listen to Xia?”

Although Mencius' father was somewhat tempted, he had much more to consider than Mencius' mother.

The network of connections he built up over half his life is mostly in Jinan.

It can be said that the Meng family's base of operations is in Jinan.

Now that he has a son-in-law like Xia Tian, ​​he can have better opportunities in Saihanba.

But he was worried about his eldest son.

Once I leave Jinan, my eldest son will have no one to help him.

The eldest son is currently just the deputy director of the political education department at a small county middle school.

If I leave Jinan, my eldest son's life will probably be over.

As for asking Xia Tian for help, Meng's father had not considered it.

If we ask Xia Tian for help, all the problems can be solved.

But what will happen to my daughter in the future?

The marriage between her daughter and Xia Tian was never equal.

One cannot be too selfish, only thinking about one's son and not one's daughter.

"Xia, to be honest, I also want to go to Saihanba with you."

"But I'm really worried about Xiaoming and Xiaoxing back in Jinan!"

"So I won't go to Saihanba with you. Your aunt can go with you to help out in Saihanba!"

Summer listened to Mencius's father's words and pondered for a while.

"Hey, what's the big deal? We can just have our older brothers come with us to Saihanba."

"As I just mentioned, a farm-run school is going to be built in Saihanba."

"Isn't my older brother also a teacher? Isn't this perfect?"

"Xia, this might not be a good idea!"

"Would it be too much trouble?"

Hearing Xia Tian's suggestion, Meng's father spoke with great hesitation.

"Hey, Uncle, just listen to me, don't refuse!"

"OK then!"

After listening to Xia Tian's words, Meng's father nodded and agreed.

Xia Tian breathed a sigh of relief when he finally managed to persuade Meng's father.

There are not many days left until that storm.

We must prepare for the storm before it officially hits.

When the storm first began, the education sector was the first to be hit.

His mother-in-law and brother-in-law are both teachers at the county middle school.

Once a storm breaks out, even if I am in Saihanba, I will be powerless to help.

Therefore, before the storm breaks out, I must find a way to get these people to Saihanba.

As for his uncle and aunt, Xia Tian wasn't too worried.

My uncle was a high-ranking official in the Ministry of War, while my aunts and uncles didn't hold any official positions.

Even if the wind blows, the Ministry of War will be affected, but the impact will not be too great.

So all I need to do is protect my in-laws and their family.

Soon, Mencius' parents boarded the train back to Jinan.

They need to return to Jinan, resign, and hand over their work.

We also need to find a reliable buyer for the ancestral home.

For her daughter, and for the Meng family to have a better future.

Mencius' father made a decision that went against the wishes of his ancestors.

They sold their property and moved their entire family to Saihanba.

Beiping Railway Station.

"Mom~"

"Little Moon~"

The mother and daughter hugged each other and cried.

Meng Yue cried because she didn't know when they would meet again after this parting.

The reason why Meng's mother cried was because she was reluctant to part with her daughter.

Yes, Xia Tian did not tell Meng Yue about moving her parents-in-law to Saihanba.

I plan to surprise her then.

"Alright, stop crying, the train is about to leave!"

Seeing the mother and daughter crying in each other's arms, Meng's father urged them to hurry up.

"Xiaoyue, from now on, live a good life with Xia Xia."

"Yes, Mom, I'll miss you!"

Meng Yue nodded, her voice choked with emotion.

"Filthy~~~"

With a loud whistle, the train slowly departed from the platform.

Watching the train gradually disappear into the distance, Meng Yue finally couldn't hold back her tears.

Fortunately, Xia Tian caught Meng Yue in time, gently patted her back, and comforted her.

"Okay, stop crying, you won't look pretty if you keep crying~"

Feeling the warm embrace of summer and listening to its gentle voice, Meng Yue stopped crying.

Then she gently punched Xia Tian's chest with her little fist.

"Hmph, how annoying~"

Looking at the adorable face of the person in his arms, Xia Tian almost couldn't resist kissing her.

"Okay, let's go!"

"My aunt wants us to come home for dinner today!"

"it is good!"

The two soon arrived at the entrance of Yihuan Hutong.

"Comrade, hello, routine inspection!!"

Suddenly, a person appeared out of nowhere and blocked their way.

Xia Tian looked at the person who suddenly appeared in front of her without any surprise.

"Comrade, this is my girlfriend. Come to my house for dinner today!"

The person in front of him nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, comrade, I'll make a call to confirm!"

"can!"

Summer nodded.

Meng Yue had never seen anything like this before, and she stood there dumbfounded.

Soon, the man reappeared, followed by a dashing woman.

"Comrade, hello, you can go in, but we still need to do a routine check!"

Looking at the woman opposite him, Xia Tian nodded.

He squeezed Meng Yue's hand, signaling her to relax.

Soon, the woman opposite Meng Yue completed her routine check and nodded to the man.

"Alright, comrades, you can go in now!"

"it is good!"

Summer held Meng Yue's hand and walked into the alley.

"Boss, who is that guy?"

After Xia Tian and Meng Yue had walked away, the woman quietly spoke up and asked the man beside her.

“That’s Song’s nephew inside. It’s normal that you don’t recognize him.”

"He doesn't come here often!"

The man listened to the woman's words and offered an explanation.

"Alright, that's all, you can go back now!"

"Yes!"

Xia Tian was unaware of what was happening at the alley entrance; at this moment, he had already led Meng Yue into the Song family compound.

"Brother Tian, ​​sister-in-law, you're here?"

Upon seeing the two people enter, Song Yamin quickly came to greet them.
