Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 199 Old Pei is here

"This is Li Kun, Vice Minister Li!"

"He is the vice minister of the Forestry Department in charge of the work of forest farms nationwide."

Xia Tian looked at the minister in front of her who looked like Lü Bu and took the initiative to greet him.

"Minister Li, hello!"

"You must be Xia Tian! Truly, a hero emerges from among the young!"

Lu Bu, oh no, it was Li Kun who looked at Xia Tian and shook hands with him.

"This is Li Zhong, an afforestation expert from our Ministry of Forestry!"

"Teacher Li, it's nice to see you again!"

Xia Tian looked at Li Zhong and greeted him with a smile.

"What, do you know each other?"

Qin Qiufeng was curious as he watched Xia Tian and Li Zhong getting along so well.

"Professor Li was my teacher when I studied at the Forestry University."

"A while ago, Teacher Li came to Saihanba, and I was the one who received him!"

Xia Tian explained something to Qin Qiufeng.

"Oh right, look at my brain!"

"Let's go, the Soviet Federation experts are coming!"

"Let's go pick them up!"

Qin Qiufeng smiled sheepishly.

Soon, the group received a call from experts in the Soviet Union.

"Damn it, I don't understand why I was sent to a place like this!"

After getting off the bus, the Soviet Federation expert began to complain.

And it was spoken in Russian.

Only Li Zhong and Xia Tian could understand what the foreigner was saying when the dog barked.

"Comrade Pekovic, hello!"

Qin Qiufeng couldn't understand Russian, so he didn't understand what this foreigner was saying.

Out of politeness, Qin Qiufeng took the initiative to go up and greet him.

To everyone's surprise, the Soviet Federation experts completely ignored Qin Qiufeng.

They skipped over Qin Qiufeng and continued walking forward.

Summer watched the scene unfold before her eyes and muttered to herself.

"They've come with ill intentions!"

"Comrade Pekovic, our minister is speaking to you!"

Summer stepped forward and blocked Pekovic's path.

He said something to Pekovic in Russian.

Summer's intensity was palpable, especially as it lingered around Pekovic.

Pekovic looked at the young man who had suddenly appeared in front of her and blocked her way.

"who are you?"

Pekovic countered with a question.

"Who I am is not important; what's important is that our minister is talking to you!"

Pekovic then turned around and glanced at Qin Qiufeng, who was standing awkwardly in place.

"I am an expert sent by the Soviet Federation to support you!"

Pekovic looked at Xia Tian and said another sentence.

"I don't care where you came from, you so-called expert, our minister is talking to you!"

Summer immediately retorted.

Pekovic glanced at Xia Tian, ​​then at Qin Qiufeng.

He turned and walked towards Qin Qiufeng, and began to communicate with him in broken Chinese.

"You must be the Minister of Forestry of China!"

"Your subordinates are really rude!"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Pekovic!"

Qin Qiufeng merely glanced at Pekovic and said nothing more.

Just now, Li Zhong had already relayed what Pekovic said after getting off the car and the conversation between Xia Tian and the other person.

All of it was translated and given to Qin Qiufeng.

The relationship between China and the Soviet Union is now gradually deteriorating.

Therefore, Qin Qiufeng didn't tolerate this damned Soviet expert.

That's why I put aside my work to come and pick you up in person.

It was also out of politeness, after all, Pekovic is a top international expert.

Pekovic's face darkened immediately upon hearing Qin Qiufeng's perfunctory reply.

"Let's go, Comrade Pekovic!"

Seeing the state of the group, Li Kun stepped forward to help them out.

The group traveled by car to the Ministry of Forestry.

After a simple lunch, Xia Tian, ​​Li Kun, Li Zhong, and Pekovic boarded the train to Chengde.

At the same time, Yu Zhenglai, who works at the Chengde Forestry Bureau, also received a call from the Ministry of Forestry.

"I'm Yu Zheng!"

"Okay, I understand, boss!"

"Don't worry, we will definitely do a good job in receiving you!"

"Okay, understand!"

Yu Zhenglai hung up the phone, somewhat agitated.

He paced back and forth in the Forestry Bureau's office.

After thinking for a while, Yu Zheng made the call.

"Connect me to the Weichang County Forestry Bureau."

"Hey, Lao Qu, it's me, Lao Yu!"

"International experts will be coming to Saihanba for an inspection the day after tomorrow!"

"Correct!"

"Get ready, we'll go up to the dam together!"

"Okay, that's all for now, I'm hanging up!"

On the other side, the Forestry Bureau of Weichang County.

After hanging up the phone, Qu immediately convened a meeting with the leaders of the Forestry Bureau.

On the train.

As summer watched the scenery rushing past the window, her thoughts drifted back to two days prior.

He never imagined that he would actually meet the person he had only seen in textbooks in his previous life.

His smile was so kind and gentle.

What was even more unexpected was that the person in question also had a close relationship with his father.

It's been 60 years now, and that person has 16 years left to live.

Summer silently did some calculations in her mind.

If possible, he hoped to change that person's fate.

Let him live a few more years.

After all, he was truly great.

Summer pulled herself out of her jumbled thoughts and turned her attention back to the train.

It's unclear whether he benefited from the position of the Deputy Minister of Forestry or from the expertise of the Soviet Federation experts.

I experienced a soft sleeper train ride, a unique experience of this era, in the summer.

It's a very spacious private room.

There was only one bed and one bench in each private room.

Xia Tian got up and went to Li Zhong's private room.

"Teacher Li, did I disturb your rest?"

"Xia Xia, come quick!"

Li Zhong was also very happy to see that it was summer.

"I was just about to come find you!"

"You've come looking for me first!"

“I’ve taken a look at the full-light seedling raising method you proposed.”

"Very constructive!"

After Li Zhong let Xia Tian sit down, he immediately began to speak.

"Yes, Teacher Li, I know!"

"However, the germination rate of seedlings grown using the full-light seedling raising method this year is not ideal."

"With 10,000 seeds, the germination rate is only about 10%!"

"There are only a little over 1200 seedlings!"

Xia Tian explained the actual situation to Li Zhong.

"The low germination rate is indeed a problem."

Li Zhong listened to Xia Tian's words and fell into thought.

"Until a solution is found to improve the germination rate of this full-light seedling method."

"I can only expand the nursery."

"We can only increase the survival rate by increasing the quantity."

Summer added another sentence.

"Although this requires more work, it is the best solution I can think of right now."

After listening to Xia Tian's words, Li Zhong spoke again.

"Xia, although the germination rate of the seedlings is not ideal at present."

"But can all the seedlings cultivated using the full-light seedling raising method survive?"

"The answer to this question is not clear at the moment."

"There are too few seedlings this year, so I haven't planted any trees in the fall yet."

"The best time for planting trees in the fall has now passed."

"We'll have to wait until next spring to find out the results."

After listening to Xia Tian's explanation, Li Zhong nodded.
