Year: I planted trees in Saihanba

Chapter 368 Meeting with Zheng Lai

In the dormitory.

Meng's father just stared at his son and daughter-in-law, remaining silent for a long time, seemingly lost in thought.

"Dad, why did you call us here?"

After a long while, Meng Ming finally spoke up and asked.

When Meng's father heard his son's voice, he came to his senses and slowly spoke.

“I know you two have never understood why I insisted on coming to Saihanba.”

"I'll tell you the reason today."

Qian Qiu frowned slightly upon hearing Meng's father's words.

"The reason I insisted on coming to Saihanba is because of your brother-in-law."

"It was your brother-in-law who asked me to come to Saihanba to develop my career."

"After careful consideration, I decided that our whole family should move to Saihanba."

"Dad, why?"

Qian Qiu clearly did not understand the meaning behind Meng's father's words and asked him to elaborate.

"You don't need to know anything else. All you need to know is that your brother-in-law's identity is extraordinary."

“We will have better opportunities in Saihanba than if our family stayed in Jinan.”

"Our Meng family's development in Jinan has basically come to an end!"

"But now that we've caught up with your brother-in-law, I believe our family will reach new heights in the near future."

Although Meng Ming did not fully understand the meaning behind his father's words, he did understand one thing.

That means Xia Tian's brother-in-law's identity is extraordinary; from now on, I must cling tightly to his coattails.

“Xiao Qian, I know you have a grudge against our family for coming to Saihanba.”

"But since we're here, let's stay here for a while and make the most of it!"

"Dad, you're exaggerating!"

Qian Qiu was prepared for her father-in-law to directly expose her little scheme.

After all, his emotions were written all over his face; anyone could see it.

"Alright, you two can go back now!"

Meng's father neither confirmed nor denied Qian Qiu's explanation, and waved for them to leave.

Dormitory in summer.

"Xia, how could you be so mean?"

"What's wrong with me?"

Summer listened to Meng Yue's reproachful words, pretending to be confused even though she knew the truth.

"Why didn't you tell them? You made them lose face!"

"I was just thinking of giving you a surprise!"

Xia Tian looked at Meng Yue and lovingly pulled her into his arms.

"Alright, go lie down on the bed. I'll tidy up the place."

After comforting Mengyue for a while, Xia Tian helped her onto the kang (a heated brick bed) to rest.

I then cleaned up the cups and plates from lunch.

The time comes in the afternoon.

Yu Zheng came to the office.

"Dad, Mom, this is our forest farm director, Director Yu Zhenglai."

"Uncle Yu, these two are Meng Yue's parents, and they are my Taishan and Taishui."

Summer acted as an intermediary, introducing the three of them to each other.

"Director Yu, hello, it's been a long time!"

Meng's father took the initiative to extend his right hand and shake hands with Yu Zhenglai.

"Hello, Comrade Meng!"

Yu Zhenglai also extended his right hand and warmly shook hands with Meng's father.

"Please take a seat!"

Afterwards, Yu Zheng warmly invited the two to sit down.

Summer then poured hot water for the three of them and sat down as well.

"Uncle Yu, my father-in-law and mother-in-law have both been deeply involved in the field of education for many years."

"I went to great lengths to persuade them both to come to Saihanba."

After everyone was seated, Xia Tian didn't waste any words and went straight to the point.

"Oh, I didn't expect you two to be talents in the field of education!"

"To be honest, our forest farm just established a primary school this year."

"I'm currently worried about the school's faculty and staff. I wonder if either of you has any insights?"
