Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 209 Apology

Chapter 209 Apology

Boys' dormitory.

There were originally four people, but now there are only two.

Wu Yansheng and Yan Xiangli left one after the other.

"Damn Yan Xiangli!"

Da Kui looked at the somewhat empty dormitory and was very angry.

"Tell me, why didn't I see this earlier? Yan Xiangli had such intentions!"

Sui Zhichao echoed what Da Kui said.

"We did live together in Bashang for a few months, after all."

"I won't mention him anymore; it's upsetting to think about him."

Da Kui abruptly interrupted the conversation.

Sui Zhichao also shook his head and lay down on the kang (a heated brick bed).

"Da Kui, we're the only two male college students left who went up to the dam with us!"

"What do you think of what Commander Xia just said?"

"What?"

Da Kui asked, somewhat puzzled.

"They're telling us to go down to the dam to spend the winter!"

"Hey, what can I possibly think about this!"

"Commander Xia told us to go down to the dam, so we just have to listen to him."

Da Kui's brain was probably only the size of a walnut kernel.

For him, he does whatever his superiors tell him to do.

Although they may lack common sense, these are often the most insightful people.

After listening to Da Kui's answer, Sui Zhichao had a general idea of ​​what was going on.

"Okay, let's go to sleep!"

On the other side, in the girls' dormitory.

"Xuemei, Commander Xia just said that we should go down to the dam. What do you think?"

Shen Mengyin was the first to lose her composure and asked Qin Xuemei the question.

"I have no idea!"

In fact, Qin Xuemei was inclined to stay in Bashang.

It wasn't just about ideals; more importantly, she had nowhere else to go.

When I returned to Guangxi Province, my mother had already passed away.

Go back to Beiping, is that really my home?

What are you all thinking?

Qin Xuemei looked at the people in the dormitory and asked them.

"I want to go home, I miss my mom!"

Shen Mengyin spoke directly.

"I……"

Meng Yue hesitated, her mind in turmoil.

She recently received a letter from her boyfriend.

The letter suggested that she return home this year so that the two families could meet.

Then they got engaged.

She also longed to go home.

"Xiu Rong, what about you?"

Qin Xuemei then asked Ji Xiurong, who was in a daze.

But Ji Xiurong acted as if she hadn't heard her and remained in a daze.

……

Time flies to the next day.

After getting up in the summer, I stretched my body a bit.

"lead!"

"lead!"

You can hear people talking from a great distance.

"Why are you here?"

Summer watched Zheng San'er driving the cart, with Zheng Laoji on the back.

"Sir, my father and I are here today to apologize to you."

Zheng Laoji got out of the back of the truck.

"Come in first!"

Summer invited the two of them to her dungeon.

Zheng Laoji took the prepared eggs from the basket on the bicycle.

Summer followed us into the underground dwelling.

"Boss, I'm sorry!"

As soon as Zheng Laoji entered the dugout, he bowed to Xia Tian.

"Zheng Laoji, right?"

Xia Tian did not stop Zheng Laoji from doing so, but pulled out a stool and gestured for the two of them to sit down.

"Yes, boss!"

Zheng Laoji looked at Xia Tian with great restraint.

"What brings you here this time?"

"I've come here for two reasons: first, to apologize to the leaders; and second, to confess my guilt!"

"Boss, the idea of ​​cutting down the trees was my idea."

“If you’re going to arrest someone, arrest me instead. My son is innocent.”

Zheng Laoji looked at Xia Tian with a resolute expression.

"That's it!"

"Okay, you'll come with me to the station in a bit!"

Xia Tian nodded and said something to Zheng Laoji.

Upon hearing Xia Tian's words, Zheng San'er immediately became anxious.

This plot is wrong.

His father told him before he came that if they came to confess, it would be fine.

The leaders probably won't hold them accountable.

But this doesn't match what his father said.

"Father~"

Zheng San'er called out urgently.

"Alright, San'er!"

"Your father is prepared. Go back and take good care of your grandmother!"

"Remember this, don't you dare touch that tree again!"

Old Ji Zheng spoke earnestly to Zheng San'er.

“You’re in your mid-twenties now. Your father is useless; he hasn’t been able to find you a wife.”

“You’re an adult now. From today onwards, the Zheng family is in your hands.”

Zheng Laoji suddenly looked as if he had aged decades.

He spoke to Zheng San'er as if he were making his final arrangements.

"Father~"

Zheng San'er was already in tears.

"Alright, let's go back!"

"The family still needs you to look after it!"

Zheng Laoji waved his hand, indicating that Zheng San'er could leave.

"Sir, tell me, what can I do to get rid of my father?"

Zheng San'er did not obediently leave, but instead looked at Xia Tian.

"No~"

"Your father is breaking the law knowingly. Alright, you can go back now!"

"Your father's matter still needs to be discussed and decided by the leaders of our Forestry Bureau!"

"After all, I can't make this decision alone!"

"San'er, listen to me, go back quickly!"

Old Ji Zheng looked at Zheng San'er with a stern expression.

"Father~"

"If you still consider me your father, then you'll have to listen to me!"

Seeing that his father had gone this far, Zheng San'er had no choice but to go back first.

"Old Zheng, you've certainly raised a fine son!"

After Zheng San'er left, Xia Tian poured Zheng Laoji a glass of water.

"Sir, this..."

Zheng Laoji was somewhat flattered when Xia Tian personally poured him water.

"It's okay, sit down!"

"You should know how important that tree is to us, right?"

"I understand, sir!"

"But my mother's last wish was, oh, for us, her children and grandchildren..."

As Zheng Laoji spoke, he lowered his head in shame.

"Alright, Mr. Zheng."

"Considering your filial piety, we will not pursue this matter this time."

"I have some money here, not much, take it back and buy my mother a coffin!"

"Don't even think about that tree again."

"After you go back, tell the villagers in your village about it."

"That tree is of great significance to our tree planting in Saihanba."

"That tree is like a beacon, a spirit."

Although Zheng Laoji did not understand the meaning behind Xia Tian's words.

But he still managed to get the gist of it.

When Xia Tian handed him the money, he quickly waved his hand and refused.

"Boss, this... I can't accept this."

"Just take it if I give it to you!"

Xia Tian said to Zheng Laoji.

"The harvest has been bad across the country in the last two years."

"The situation is even more serious, especially in our Bashang area."

"This is just a small token of my appreciation, though it's not much!"

"Thank you, sir!"

"It's alright, you should go back too, go back and take good care of your mother."

Xia Tian said something to Zheng Laoji and then let him leave.

"Oh, and don't forget to take the eggs from the doorway too."

"Boss, the eggs are my apology to you."

I appreciate your kind gesture, but we have rules.

"We will not take a single needle or thread from the people!"

Zheng Laoji was startled by Xia Tian's words.

Zheng Laoji picked up the eggs at the door and left the camp.
