Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 332 Let’s get married

"Comrade Xiao Meng, what do you want to tell me?"

Summer placed the water in front of Meng Yue and asked her a question.

"Engineer Xia, I..."

Looking at Xia Tian so close to her, Meng Yue was momentarily speechless.

Summer didn't know what to say.

For a moment, an eerie silence fell over the room.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, you..."

After a long silence, Xia Tian finally spoke, breaking the silence.

"Mr. Xia, I'd like to ask you, what's your opinion of me?"

Meng Yue frantically tried to mentally prepare herself.

Finally, she mustered up the courage to ask Xia Tian.

"I……"

This time, it was Xia Tian's turn to be speechless.

He hadn't expected Meng Yue to be so direct.

"Comrade Xiao Meng, you're doing great!"

After holding it in for ages, Xia Tian finally managed to squeeze out that one sentence.

"Then... Engineer Xia, you..."

"Comrade Xiao Meng, it's too late today, and I've had too much to drink!"

"How about I take you home first, and we can talk in detail tomorrow?"

In the end, Xia Tian decided to avoid the issue for now.

He needs to confirm his feelings.

And when it comes to confessing your feelings, it's definitely the man who should do it!

How can you expect a girl to take the initiative?

Meng Yue listened to Xia Tian's answer and nodded dejectedly.

"I understand, Engineer Xia!"

"Then I won't bother you anymore!"

After saying that, Meng Yue walked straight out of Xia Tian's dormitory.

Xia Tian watched Meng Yue's retreating figure and followed her out.

Meng Yue walked quickly ahead, with Xia Tian following far behind her.

Soon, Meng Yue's figure disappeared at the entrance of the girls' dormitory.

Seeing this, Xia Tian felt relieved and returned to her dormitory.

"Meng Yue, how are you?"

As soon as Meng Yue returned to her dormitory, Ji Xiurong curiously approached her.

"Xia Gong... he rejected me!"

Meng Yue looked somewhat downcast, and then sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) without saying a word.

In the dormitory, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

They never expected things to turn out this way.

After returning to the dormitory in the summer, I sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and began to analyze and think carefully.

……

The next day was the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Summer gets up early, watches the rising sun, and does a quick tidy-up.

After paying New Year's greetings to his cousin Huang Ziming, Yu Zhenglai, and others.

Xia Tian found her cousin and solemnly told him about this matter.

"Cousin, I want to get married!"

Seeing Xia Tian's serious expression, Huang Ziming couldn't help but ask.

"You want to get married? Who's your partner?"

He hadn't heard anything about Xia Tian dating anyone.

Now, Xia Tian is actually telling him that he wants to get married?

"Cousin, the person I want to marry is Meng Yue, Comrade Xiao Meng!"

Summer said it directly and bluntly.

"No, bro, are you serious?"

Huang Ziming listened to Xia Tian's words and asked a question with a serious expression.

As the deputy director, he naturally knew Meng Yue.

I also know that Meng Yue is a pretty girl.

"I couldn't be more serious!"

"I want to marry Comrade Xiao Meng!"

Huang Ziming nodded upon hearing this.

"Alright, since you're serious, I won't say anything more!"

"According to our family tradition, whatever you like is fine!"

"Okay, you can go back first. I'll tell your aunt!"

Xia Tian nodded and left Huang Ziming's office.

Huang Ziming watched Xia Tian's departing figure, picked up the phone, and dialed a number.

Peking City.

"Hey kid, what's up?"

Grandpa Huang answered the phone and asked a question.

After all, Huang Ziming had spoken to him on the phone just yesterday, and now he was calling again today.

"Dad, it's Xiaotian, he's getting married!"

Huang Ziming dropped a bombshell on his own father.

"What, say that again?"

Old Huang thought he had misheard.

After all, his wife had been nagging him about Xia Tian's wedding for a long time.

She is also actively looking for a suitable girl from a prominent family.

After all, Xia Tian is from a military family.

The wife you choose can't be too bad either.

"You brat, are you serious?"

"Of course it's true, Xiaotian just left me."

"Do you know which family Xiaotian's girlfriend belongs to?"

"She's from our Saihanba Forest Farm, her name is Meng Yue, and she's quite pretty!"

Huang Ziming said frankly that there was absolutely no need to hide such a thing.

"Meng Yue?"

When Grandpa Huang heard the name, he shook his head.

"Those who go to Saihanba Forest Farm are probably from some prestigious family."

"Okay, I get it!"

After finishing speaking, Mr. Huang hung up the phone immediately.

Huang Ziming shook his head as he listened to the busy tone on the phone.

……

Soon, news of Xia Tian's upcoming marriage spread to the Song, Huang, and Liu families.

Information about Meng Yue, Xia Tian's marriage partner, was also thoroughly investigated.

It's no exaggeration to say that even the materials used for Meng Yue's political background check are probably not as complete as those here.

"The girl is innocent."

"Although he's not quite good enough for Xiaotian, I have no objection since Xiaotian likes him."

Summer Auntie looked at the documents in front of her and was the first to express her opinion.

My uncle was quite busy in the summer, so my aunt attended this family meeting.

Hearing his older sister's words, he naturally had no objections.

Summer's aunt didn't have any objections either.

"Okay, since everyone agrees, Lao Huang, give Xiaoming a call."

"Have Xiaotian bring Meng Yue back when he has some free time."

"Let's meet and settle things!"

"How about it?"

Summer is the season when menstruation is definitively determined.

Soon, Huang Ziming received instructions from his father.

At the same time, Xia Tian also found Meng Yue.

"That Comrade Meng."

Xia Tian brought Meng Yue to the technical department office, and the two sat facing each other.

"I thought about it all night last night, I..."

"Let's get married!"

Summer spoke directly.

Meng Yue was completely dumbfounded by Xia Tian's sudden outrageous words.

She hadn't expected Xia Tian to be so fierce, so aggressive right from the start.

"I know this might sound a bit abrupt, but I'm just telling the truth, I'm not getting any younger!"

"I asked Aunt Yu for help last time, but you've been avoiding me ever since!"

"The reason I acted so abruptly today is because I didn't want to leave any regrets."

"After all, Comrade Xiao Meng, you are the first person I've ever set my sights on!"

"Of course, if you don't like me, just say so!"

"I promise you this summer, I will never bother you again!"

In one breath, Xia Tian poured out all her innermost thoughts.

Then he stared intently at Meng Yue, waiting for her reply.

"Engineer Xia, I..."

Meng Yue was somewhat bewildered by Xia Tian's initial outrageous words.

But she listened to every word Xia Tian said after that.

She felt a little smug when Xia Tian said that "she was the first person he ever liked".

"Don't you mind that I was abandoned before?"

"Nope!"

"Your ex-boyfriend dumped you because he was blind."

"He's blind to give up such a good partner."

Upon hearing Meng Yue's question, Xia Tian spoke frankly.

Hearing Xia Tian's answer, Meng Yue felt a sweet warmth welling up inside her.

"Meng Yue, will you marry me?"

Seeing that Meng Yue remained silent for a long time, Xia Tian asked again.

"I...I do!"

Hearing Xia Tian's direct question, a blush crept onto Meng Yue's cheeks.

"Really? That's great!"

Hearing Meng Yue's affirmative answer, Xia Tian was very happy.

He excitedly grabbed Meng Yue's hand.

Then he realized that his behavior might not have been appropriate.

So he quickly let go of Meng Yue's hand.

"Ahem, Comrade Meng, I'm a little excited!"

Summer coughed dramatically and offered an explanation to Meng Yue.

Meng Yue chuckled softly as she looked at Xia Tian's awkward expression.

This was the first time she had seen Xia Tian so flustered since she had known him.

"It's alright, Engineer Xia!"

"Well, Comrade Meng, let me take you home!"

Xia Tian suppressed his excitement and looked at Meng Yue.

Seeing Meng Yue nod, Xia Tian left the technical department office with her.

After escorting Meng Yue back to her dormitory, Xia Tian hummed a little tune and returned to her own dormitory.

The Spring Festival of 1965 seemed to pass by exceptionally quickly, and before we knew it, the Lantern Festival had arrived.

After the Lantern Festival, the forest farm ushered in its first happy event since its establishment.

Li Tieniu and the second daughter of the Li family in Yudaokou held their wedding on the eighteenth day of the first lunar month.

As Li Tieniu's direct superior, Xia Tian naturally received a wedding invitation as well.

Li Tieniu's home in Jiangtai Village.

"Blacksmith, you're getting married again today, aren't you happy?"

Several villagers who helped with the wedding a few years ago started to tease him.

"Happy, happy!"

Li Tieniu replied with a smile.

In fact, they were incredibly envious of Li Tieniu, who not only had two wives.

Moreover, he was a formal employee of the forest farm.

Although the forest farm has been built for several years, most of the villagers in the vicinity are just temporary workers.

There are very few formal employees of the forest farm.

Li Tieniu was a formal employee because he was skilled in blacksmithing and had a connection with Feng Cheng.

"The blacksmith's almost done, time to get going!"

A villager looked at the sky and said something to Li Tieniu.

"it is good!"

The group rode horses and drove carriages, heading towards the Imperial Road.

……

"Crackling..."

Firecrackers exploded as the bride entered the house.

Yu Zhenglai, Qu He, and several others sat with Xia Tian, ​​looking at Li Tieniu.

Feng Cheng, as the eldest nephew, was busy helping his uncle with various tasks.

"Worship heaven and earth!"

"Two thanks to the high hall!"

"Couple greetings!"

"Send to the bridal chamber!"

Summer watched the lively wedding scene and felt a pang of regret.

After all, it's unlikely that such wedding ceremonies will be allowed for the next few years.

"I still remember when Tie Niu delivered the letter to Captain Feng, he was just a teenager."

"Feng Cheng wasn't even born then, and now he's almost ready to get married!"

Yu Zheng looked at Li Tieniu and said with some emotion.

When the topic of marriage came up, Yu Zhenglai suddenly turned his gaze to Xia Tian, ​​who was sitting to the side.

"Ahem, Xia, when are you planning to get married?"

Upon hearing Yu Zheng's question, Qu He also turned his gaze over.

"This year!"

Summer's opening remarks are always a bombshell.

"Really?"

Yu Zhenglai asked casually, but he didn't expect to be pleasantly surprised.

"When have I ever lied?"

Summer responded quite calmly.

"Xia, you did a great job keeping this a secret!"

"We haven't heard a single word about it!"

Qu He looked at Xia Tian and said something.

Who is your marriage partner?

Yu Zhenglai was more interested in knowing who Xia Tian's marriage partner was.

"Comrade Xiao Meng!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Tian replied with a single sentence.

"Really?"

"real!"

"Okay, okay, okay!"

Yu Zheng listened to Xia Tian's words and said "good" three times in a row.

He was initially very worried about Xia Tian's wedding.

After all, since Xia Tian arrived in Saihanba, she hasn't shown any interest in finding a partner.

Unexpectedly, summer arrived and they quietly accomplished something big.

When she makes a move, she's the most beautiful girl in the entire forest farm.

"Has the date been set?"

"Not yet. I plan to take Comrade Xiao Meng back to Beiping after Wei Fugui and his wife get married."

"It would also allow the elders in the family to meet Comrade Xiao Meng."

Yu Zheng nodded in agreement upon hearing Xia Tian's plan.

The group continued chatting casually.

A short while later, Li Tieniu brought his bride to toast them.

"Wife, this is Director Yu of our forest farm!"

Li Tieniu was with his wife, followed by Feng Cheng.

"Good morning, Manager Yu!"

Li Tieniu's new wife greeted him warmly and handed her wine glass to Yu Zhenglai.

Yu Zhenglai took the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Alright, Tie Niu, treat your wife well!"

"Yes, Manager!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tieniu smiled憨厚ly.

"This is Director Xia from the First Branch of our forest farm!"

Li Tieniu's second toast was to Xia Tian.

Although Xia Tian is young, his official rank is so high!

Besides Yu Zhenglai, the highest-ranking official present was Xia Tian.

"Good morning, Manager Xia!"

Li Tieniu's wife looked at Xia Tian's youthful face and was secretly surprised.

"Comrade Tie Niu, congratulations on your marriage! May you live a long and happy life together!"

Xia Tian took the wine glass handed to him by Li Tieniu's wife and drank the wine in it in one gulp.

Following that, Li Tieniu introduced Qu He.

Qu He chuckled as he took the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

After toasting the three people, Li Tieniu took his wife to other tables.

After drinking a cup of wedding wine in the summer, the three of them did not stay in Jiangtai Village for long.

Instead, they hurriedly returned to the forest farm.

After all, as the leader of the venue, he still has other things to deal with.

The reason he was able to take the time to attend Li Tieniu's wedding was because of Captain Feng.

After returning to the forest farm, Xia Tian and Qu He went to the technical department office together.

"Uncle Qu, I'm going back to Beiping in a couple of days. I'm leaving this branch farm and the technical department to you!"

"Don't worry, Xia!"

"Don't worry, go back home. I'm still waiting to attend your wedding!"

Qu He opened his mouth with a smile.

"Ok!"

three days later.

Summer took Meng Yue on the train back to Beiping.

Ji Xiurong and Wei Fugui decided to postpone their wedding.

So in the summer, he took Mengyue directly back to Beiping City to meet his parents.

Along with Xia Tian, ​​her cousin Huang Ziming was also there.

"Engineer Xia, I..."

On the way back to Beiping, Meng Yue was very nervous.

"what happened?"

"I'm so nervous!"

"It's okay, my aunts and the others are very easy to talk to."
