The inspection group did not stay on the dam for long and left before arriving in the afternoon. As hosts, Yu Zhenglai and Qu He naturally wanted to accompany them and also followed the inspection group down to the dam.
After the inspection team left, the group turned around and returned to the camp.
Although the inspection team only stayed on the dam for less than half a day, the impact it played was extremely far-reaching. After such an experience, the revolutionary will of the advance team members was unprecedentedly high.
The country is about to build a forest farm on the dam!
Next year's Bashang will definitely be very lively, and they will soon welcome more like-minded comrades!
But many people don’t know that they will lose a ‘companion’ before that.
That person was Yan Xiangli. Ever since he last received a letter from home, he knew that the time left for him to stay on the dam had begun to count down.
The day he leaves the dam won't be too far away. He will leave the dam as soon as the order comes.
In fact, Yan Xiangli's mentality has undergone some changes recently, and he no longer wants to leave the dam.
Although life in Bashang is hard, the atmosphere is very good. Everyone is striving for the same goal. This feeling makes him very envious.
However, because of Ji Xiurong's incident, everyone vaguely excluded him from the team.
If it were done before, he would definitely not care about this deliberate alienation.
But this time, that time.
When his passion was surging, he couldn't find anyone to share it with.
That feeling is really a bit unpleasant.
Of course, if he really wanted to find someone to share with, he wouldn't be able to find one. He could completely confide his feelings to 'Feng Cheng'.
But he didn't want to do that.
'Feng Cheng' is such a powerful person, he seems to have a pair of eyes that can see into people's hearts.
And he happens to be the kind of person who doesn't want others to peek into his heart.
Therefore, even though he knew there was someone waiting there, he was unwilling to talk.
Yan Xiangli's feeling was not wrong. Li Jie did notice something unusual about him, but he never found a chance to talk to him about it.
Today, the time is ripe.
On the way home, Li Jie came to the back of the team quietly and whispered.
"Let's talk later?"
Yan Xiangli glanced at Li Jie in surprise, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
"good."
About half an hour later, on the sand outside the camp, looking at Yan Xiangli who was absent-minded, Li Jie asked straight to the point.
"Why, are you feeling shaken?"
Hearing this sentence, Yan Xiangli did not show much surprise, because he had already guessed that Feng Cheng had guessed his thoughts.
If that wasn't the case, why did 'Feng Cheng' chat with him for no reason?
"Well, a little bit."
Li Jie smiled slightly and said softly: "Only a little?"
After being discovered once again, Yan Xiangli simply gave up the resistance and said frankly.
"Okay, I admit, more than a little."
Li Jie continued to guide: "Have you ever thought about the reason?"
Because, what?
Yan Xiangli fell into deep thought after hearing this. He just wanted to stay, but he really hadn't thought about why?
Why do you want to stay?
Seeing Yan Xiangli frowning and looking like he was going to think for a long time, Li Jie did not rush him, but waited patiently.
Last time, Yan Xiangli woke himself up.
This time, it was his turn to wake up Yan Xiangli.
As for whether Yan Xiangli will stay or leave, he will not express any opinion.
The road is your own choice. No matter what decision you make, you should move forward unswervingly. Even if you encounter ridicule or doubt, you should continue to move forward unswervingly.
The authorities are obsessive, but bystanders are clear. Perhaps Yan Xiangli himself was not aware of the changes that had taken place in him.
And Li Jie saw all this.
In the past, Yan Xiangli was polite to everyone, but he was cold in his heart.
But now Yan Xiangli has more fireworks. He will try to integrate into the group, but he has been away from the group for too long, but he has forgotten what to do to rejoin the group.
After a long time, Yan Xiangli replied firmly.
"I figured it out, I want to join you!"
After saying this, Yan Xiangli's expression changed and he said with a tangled expression.
"But I don't know what to do to make people accept me. After all, I did do some not-so-good things before."
Li Jie smiled and shook his head, patted him on the shoulder, and said sincerely: "These worries of yours are unnecessary. Everyone is very tolerant towards real comrades."
"If you don't believe it, you can give it a try, try to change first, and integrate into the group. Then you will definitely find that things are not as difficult as you think."
Yan Xiangli asked with hope: "Is it really possible?"
"certainly."
Li Jie grinned and said with determination.
Yan Xiangli nodded with understanding, and then the two ended their brief conversation.
In the next two days, Yan Xiangli did change. He wanted to reintegrate into the group several times, but it was more difficult than he imagined.
It is difficult to change a person's habits. He is used to being isolated from others. If he suddenly wants to change, he will inevitably feel a little confused.
Li Jie naturally discovered this, but he still chose to sit back and watch.
There are some things that others can't help with.
In the blink of an eye, another week passed, and the weather on the dam was getting colder and colder. When others did not notice the abnormal weather, Yan Xiangli carefully compared the temperature data of Saihanba over the years.
As a result, he found that this winter was very unusual.
The cold wave is ahead of schedule!
If the temperature continues to plummet, Saihanba may experience a blizzard soon.
On this day, Yan Xiangli was about to discuss with Li Jie how to deal with the snowstorm, but Yu Zhenglai came to the dam with several people.
In the canteen, all members of the advance team were present. Yu Zhenglai first highly praised everyone's achievements, then paused for a moment or two before continuing.
"Next, Comrade Qu He will announce the latest personnel appointments in the field."
Qu He nodded towards everyone with a smile, took a step forward and said.
"In view of the outstanding contributions made by the advance team, after joint research and decision by the Forestry Bureau and the field department, a new department - Technology Section - will be established in Bashang in the near future."
"At the same time, Comrade Feng Cheng will be officially appointed as the chief of the technical section of the advance team, and Comrade Qin Xuemei will be the deputy chief of the technical section."
Technology Section?
Section chief?
Deputy section chief?
Everyone looked surprised when they heard the news.
However, they just expressed surprise and did not have any objection.
Because this decision was fair and just, they were convinced that 'Feng Cheng' and Qin Xuemei were indeed the most skilled among them.
