As the sun set, Qin Xuemei leaned in Li Jie's arms and stared blankly at the northern sky, her brows full of worry and uneasiness.
Four years have passed, and Qin Xuemei has become a married woman. In the past, she always liked to tie her hair in double ponytails, but now she prefers to simply tie her hair back.
Compared with four years ago, she is a little less green and a little more mature now.
However, no matter how mature Qin Xuemei is, she still can't help but feel worried and scared when facing this kind of storm.
Especially Qin Qiufeng, he was at the center of the storm at this time.
"Don't worry." Li Jie patted her shoulder gently and comforted her in a low voice: "I'm sure everything will be fine."
Since last year, the wind direction above has begun to change. One year later, even Saihanba, thousands of miles away, felt the storm was coming.
In the original drama, Tan Qiufeng died before dawn, and then he was sent to Saihanba for protection.
However, that was all the original timeline. Now with Li Jie's participation, as long as Tan Qiufeng doesn't talk nonsense, there is a high probability that nothing unexpected will happen.
"Um."
Sensing the warmth coming from her ears, Tan Xuemei's restless heart calmed down a little. Over the years, countless incidents have proved how reliable her husband is.
Encountering difficulties?
Don't be afraid!
As long as you find him, most of the difficulties can be solved.
In a blink of an eye, it has been almost eight years since they came to the dam. After eight years of struggle, although Saihanba today has not restored its grandeur a hundred years ago.
But if you look down at Saihanba from the sky, large blocks of green shade dot the vast wasteland, which is particularly eye-catching.
In the past four years, Saihanba Mechanical Forestry Farm has received awards from superiors almost every year. The level of the farm has also been upgraded and the scale of the farm has been expanded.
In order to complete the task on Lüran Dam as soon as possible, the forest farm has successively established a first branch, a second branch and a third branch.
As the greatest contributor to Saihanba's afforestation, Li Jie's status has naturally grown with the tide.
Now he is the technical deputy director of the main field and concurrently serves as the director of the first branch field.
Of course, Qin Xuemei's contribution is not small. Apart from Li Jie, the only two people who have visited Saihanba several times, she has the greatest contribution.
Two years ago, when the first branch was first established, she was appointed by her superiors as the current deputy director of the first branch.
Last year, when the three-point court was established, the stadium planned to appoint her as the director of the three-point court, but she rejected the proposal.
Because once she went to the three-point court, it would not be as convenient for her to meet Li Jie as it is now.
The third branch and the first branch are more than 20 kilometers apart. Even by car, it will take more than half an hour due to the traffic conditions in Saihanba.
This is still by car. If you are walking, you will have to walk for at least several hours.
However, the level of the branch director is not high and he is not qualified to allocate cars. If he is really transferred, I am afraid he will only be able to see him once or twice a month.
This is obviously unacceptable to Tan Xuemei.
For the next period of time, Qin Xuemei leaned in Li Jie's arms quietly until the smell of rice came from the kitchen.
At this moment, Qin Xuemei suddenly realized that rice was cooking in the pot.
"Oops, the rice is going to be burnt. I'm going to cool it down."
Li Jie grabbed her and pushed her towards the room.
"It's better for me to go. It's not convenient for you with a big belly."
"Um."
Tan Xuemei gently touched her increasingly bulging belly, smiled and nodded, her eyes extremely gentle.
The two got married three years ago. The reason why they didn't have a child until this year was mainly because they were too busy at work.
At that time, all the workers in Bashang were vigorously engaged in afforestation. Li Jie and Qin Xuemei were the technical backbone of the field, and many things were inseparable from them.
After that period of busy work was over, a branch was established again. One of them was the director and the other was the deputy director. There was even less time to recruit people.
Then, it dragged on until this year.
Fortunately, both of them are young, and Li Jie himself is a medical expert. From the time he was pregnant to the time he is about to give birth, he has never had any problems.
About half an hour later, several simple yet nutritious home-cooked dishes were served on the table.
Looking at the fragrant food, Qin Xuemei subconsciously touched her increasingly bloated cheeks. Although she had never weighed herself, she could feel that she had gained at least twenty pounds during her pregnancy.
The reason is that the food is too delicious. Every time before eating, I want to control it, but when it comes to eating, I find that I can't control it at all.
Seeing Qin Xuemei's troubled look, Li Jie sat next to her and laughed.
"It's okay. Your weight is very healthy now and you don't eat much on weekdays. If you eat too much, I will control it without you having to tell me."
Tan Xuemei glanced at him tenderly and said softly: "You know how to coax me."
Li Jie replied with a smile: "It doesn't matter, I never tell lies."
A happy smile passed over Qin Xuemei's lips, and then she picked up the wooden spoon with a smile and filled Li Jie with a large bowl of rice.
"Let's eat."
After a while, Tan Xuemei seemed to suddenly remember something and put down the chopsticks in her hand, feeling rather annoyed.
"Oh, look at my brain. I kept thinking about talking to you in the afternoon, but I forgot about it as I kept thinking about it."
"Xiu Rong is right, you are really pregnant for three years."
Of course, Li Jie would not accept such words and changed the subject.
"What's up?"
After hearing this, Qin Xuemei immediately gave up her emotion and explained the reason.
"Meng Yue and Su Xinmin are getting married by the end of the year."
"Really? They have finally achieved enlightenment. When I see them someday, I will congratulate them."
Hearing the news, Li Jie couldn't help but feel happy for Meng Yue. Su Xinmin was a college student who was transferred to Bashang when the technical department was first established.
Speaking of which, the relationship between him and Meng Yue was quite bumpy. During the time they got together, either Meng Yue was on a business trip or Su Xinmin was on a business trip.
After going around in circles for several years, the two finally became a couple.
Tan Xuemei nodded with a smile and agreed: "Yes, Meng Yue and Su Xinmin are really not easy. Fortunately, they are finally getting married."
As she talked, Qin Xuemei unconsciously recalled her experiences on the dam over the years. Whenever she thought of those scenes, she always felt sad in her heart.
…
…
…
It's night, everything is quiet.
In the darkness, the long-silent system prompt suddenly sounded in Li Jie's mind.
"bite!"
"Congratulations to the host for completing this mission. The reward will be received after returning to the main world."
"After the mission is completed, the host can return at any time. If he does not make a choice, he will be forced to return within 48 hours."
