Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 312 Encounter with Wu Gaihua

Summer, however, harbored different thoughts.

He had made up his mind to pursue Meng Yue.

After all, life is short, and he didn't want to leave any regrets.

Okay, actually he had a little selfish motive in his heart.

That is, they didn't want to be outdone by that old bastard Feng Cheng.

He believed that he was no worse than Feng Cheng, and even better than Feng Cheng in many ways.

Why was Feng Cheng able to get together with Qin Xuemei first?

Isn't it just because it's the main character in the story?

He was second to none throughout his life!

He was determined to establish a relationship with Meng Yue before Feng Cheng did.

Meanwhile, Feng Cheng, who is in Saihanba, said: "Summer is all about dreaming!"

Feng Cheng and Qin Xuemei had already established a relationship when Feng Cheng attended Chen Gong's funeral in the summer.

However, no one knows this news yet!

Xia Tian, ​​who was far away in Weichang County, naturally did not know that Feng Cheng had already established a relationship with Qin Xuemei.

Soon, Xia Tian bought some food and a pair of hair clips.

It's not summer and I don't want to buy anything else.

It's just that I really don't know what to give a girl in the summer.

Moreover, the supplies at the supply and marketing cooperative in Weichang County were pitifully scarce.

Soon, Xia Tian hitched a ride on a donkey cart heading to Bashang.

The fellow villager driving the cart was a simple and honest middle-aged man.

I hummed an unknown little tune all the way.

The whip in his hand would occasionally flick lightly in the air, making a crisp sound.

In the summer, I was initially quite interested in watching the scenery along the way while sitting in the car.

But gradually, the barren scenery made him a little sleepy, so he closed his eyes to rest.

Meanwhile, in the Saihanba Forest Farm.

Li Tieniu is currently riding high on success, completely immersed in happiness.

Since joining the forest farm and becoming a formal forest farm employee, his life has undergone tremendous changes.

The workday is a fixed eight hours, with time off in rotation.

Not only that, he can earn more than 30 yuan a month.

Aside from occasionally treating myself to a drink, I can steadily save more than 20 yuan each month.

What made him even happier was that recently, through the help of the kind-hearted Aunt Yu, he was about to have a marriage proposal.

As the saying goes, good things happen and people are in high spirits. Li Tieniu was humming a cheerful tune as he walked down the street.

However, as the ancients said...

“Good fortunes lie in the shadow of misfortunes, and misfortunes lie in the shadow of good fortunes.”

Li Tieniu, who was immersed in joy, had no idea that trouble was quietly approaching him.

Wujia Tai Village, located below the dam.

Wu Gaihua was leading her child, Li Tiedan, out of the house, looking utterly dejected.

Over the years she has wandered outside, and Saihanba has long since changed beyond recognition.

Her father passed away from a serious illness several years ago.

My mother couldn't overcome her grief either, and she passed away not long after.

She returned to her hometown with a child whose origins were unknown.

This made the elder brother and sister-in-law feel ashamed, and fearing that they would be gossiped about by their neighbors, they kicked her out of their home without saying a word.

Wu Gaihua stood at the entrance of the village, looking at the village that was both familiar and unfamiliar.

Tears welled up in my eyes, and I felt completely lost, not knowing where to go or what to do.

Suddenly, a name flashed through her mind—Li Tieniu.

Now that she has nowhere else to turn, she can only place her last hope on Li Tieniu.

So Wu Gaihua gritted her teeth and held Li Tiedan's little hand tightly.

The mother and son embarked on a long journey to find the husband.

"Boss, I think there are people up ahead!"

Summer was sitting on the donkey cart, resting with her eyes closed, when the villager driving the cart suddenly spoke, breaking the tranquility of the journey.

Summer opened her eyes and looked in the direction the villager pointed.

Sure enough, on the dirt road not far ahead, there were two figures, one tall and one short, struggling to move forward.

On the empty plain, the two figures appeared exceptionally small and helpless.

"Let's go check it out and see what's going on!"

Xia Tian frowned, a hint of worry rising in his heart, and spoke to his fellow villager.

Upon hearing this, the driver lightly whipped the donkey. The donkey, in pain, took off and began to accelerate forward.

"Xu~"

Soon, the donkey cart came to a steady stop in front of the mother and child.

Summer jumped off the donkey cart with a nimble movement.

He walked a few steps to Wu Gaihua and Li Tiedan'er, a gentle smile on his face, and asked.

"Hey folks, where are you headed?"

Wu Gaihua raised her head, her eyes filled with exhaustion and vigilance, and sized up Xia Tian.

Seeing his kind face and clear eyes, he seemed very upright and not like a bad person, so she hesitated before answering.

"We're going to Saihanba Forest Farm!"

These days, she inquired everywhere and finally learned that Li Tieniu is now working in the forest farm as a forest worker.

So she decided to go straight to the heart of the matter, to the forest farm, to find her man.

"Going to the forest farm? What brings you there?"

Xia Tian quickly searched her memory and confirmed that she had no recollection of the mother and son.

He couldn't help but feel a little puzzled, as he was the leader of the forest farm.

I haven't heard anything about new people coming to the forest farm recently. What are these two doing there?

"We're going to the forest farm to find my man!"

Wu Gaihua looked Xia Tian over carefully again, and decided to tell the truth after all.

What's your man's name?

Summer's curiosity was piqued, and she immediately asked a question.

"My husband's name is Li Tieniu, and he's a blacksmith!"

As soon as Wu Gaihua finished speaking, Xia Tian's expression instantly turned strange.

He knew Li Tieniu very well; Li Tieniu was Feng Cheng's uncle, and he had personally recruited him into the forest farm.

He clearly remembered that on the file Li Tieniu filled out when he joined the company, the marital status column clearly stated "unmarried".

But now, a woman suddenly appears, claiming with certainty that Li Tieniu is her man. What's going on here?

Could it be that Li Tieniu dared to conceal his marital status and deceive the organization?

Xia Tian knew in his heart that he couldn't draw conclusions based solely on this woman's one-sided account.

Thinking of this, Xia Tian took a deep breath and composed herself.

He put on a gentle smile again and looked at Wu Gaihua.

"Fellow villager, we're going to Saihanba Forest Farm too."

"If you don't mind, I can give you a ride."

"After all, it must have been quite difficult for you to raise your child alone."

Upon hearing Xia Tian's invitation, a hint of surprise flashed in Wu Gaihua's eyes.

But then she hesitated and cautiously declined.

"Is this...isn't this bad?"

She was actually quite tempted, and walked the whole way with her child.

She can take it, but the child can't.

Besides, she was already exhausted, but she was afraid of causing trouble for others.

"It's nothing, come on, get in the car!"

Summer spoke enthusiastically, before Wu Gaihua could refuse again.

He went up to her and helped her put her luggage on the donkey cart.

Seeing this, Wu Gaihua stopped refusing, picked up Li Tiedan'er, and got onto the donkey cart with Xia Tian's help.

Fortunately, the donkey cart was quite spacious, so even with three people in it, it didn't feel crowded.
