Chapter 288 Meng Yue Asks for Leave
Time in Bashang flows like a gentle stream.
It always slips away quietly without people noticing.
In the blink of an eye, another winter has arrived, and the heavy snow has buried the pine trees.
As the first snow fell, Xia Tian stood quietly in the square of the forest farm headquarters.
I instinctively reached out and caught a crystal-clear snowflake.
The snowflakes vanished quickly in her warm palm, like a dream bubble.
Summer's gaze followed the vanishing snowflakes, and her thoughts drifted into the distance.
At this time, there was still about a month until New Year's Eve in 1961.
But the atmosphere of the New Year was already gradually spreading through the forest.
The children of the forest farm workers have finished their studies at the school in Weichang County.
They gradually returned to the forest farm.
The field headquarters seemed to be suddenly injected with vitality.
Every day, you can hear the children's cheerful playing and carefree laughter.
They chased each other around the field, their innocent laughter echoing in the chilly air.
It added a lot of warmth to this cold winter day.
However, in this joyful atmosphere...
One person, however, was very unhappy.
Sui Zhichao has been quite troubled lately.
He keenly sensed that Shen Mengyin hadn't been paying much attention to him lately.
This discovery gave Sui Zhichao a jolt of fear.
I panicked immediately, and a strange unease welled up in my heart.
He started asking around, determined to find out if his sweetheart had found someone new.
But no matter how much they inquired, they never heard any relevant information.
In the boys' dormitory, only Feng Cheng and Sui Zhichao were present.
The cold wind outside the window was howling and banging against the windowpane, making a "bang" sound.
Sui Zhichao sat on the edge of the bed with a worried look on his face, sighing repeatedly.
"Feng Cheng, do you think it's possible that Shen Mengyin has fallen for someone else?"
Feng Cheng was sitting at the table reading a book when he heard Sui Zhichao's question and rolled his eyes helplessly.
"Old Sui, you've asked this eight times this morning!"
"Oh, is that so?"
Sui Zhichao was somewhat bewildered; he himself hadn't realized he had asked the question so many times.
Feng Cheng put down his book, turned around, looked at Sui Zhichao, and said seriously.
"If you ask me, Lao Sui, why don't you just go and ask Shen Mengyin directly?"
Upon hearing this, Sui Zhichao also rolled his eyes.
How am I supposed to bring this up?
"It would be so awkward if I just asked directly!"
"What if she really falls for someone else? Where would I put my face then?"
"The point is, there's no use in you worrying about it here!"
Feng Cheng frowned, his expression turning serious.
"You keep guessing and speculating, but you can't solve the problem and you're just making yourself miserable."
Sui Zhichao looked intently at Feng Cheng and said with great anticipation.
"Feng Cheng, give me some advice!"
"You have a lot of ideas, you'll definitely be able to help me come up with a solution."
Feng Cheng pondered for a moment, then said helplessly.
"Hey, Lao Sui, why don't you go find Shen Mengyin and just be honest with her?"
"We're all comrades in the revolution, so if she rejects you, she probably won't be too heartless!"
When Sui Zhichao heard this idea, he was so angry he almost jumped up.
Listen, can you hear what people are saying?
"Is there really no other way?"
"You're just giving me a terrible idea!"
Feng Cheng spread his hands and shrugged.
"no!"
Undeterred, Sui Zhichao continued to press for answers.
"You can have this!"
Feng Cheng shook his head firmly.
"This really doesn't happen!"
"Never mind if you don't have it!"
Seeing Sui Zhichao's dejected look, Feng Cheng picked up the book next to him again.
But his mind was no longer on the book in front of him.
He hadn't even solved his own problems, so how could he possibly offer any advice to Sui Zhichao?
Girls' dormitory.
Meng Yue sat on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed), her gaze falling on Qin Xuemei, who was making the bed, and asked a question.
"Xuemei, are you planning to go home this year?"
Upon hearing Meng Yue's question, Qin Xuemei stopped what she was doing and gently shook her head.
"I'm not going back! Are you going home?"
She looked up at Meng Yue, a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
"Yes, I'm planning to go home!"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yue nodded gently, a hint of longing in her eyes.
"I've been away from home for several years now, and I miss my family a bit!"
Shen Mengyin was sitting in front of the mirror combing her hair.
Hearing Meng Yue's words, he couldn't help but interject.
"Meng Yue, I think you miss your boyfriend, don't you?"
Upon hearing this, Meng Yue blushed instantly, her cheeks turning as red as ripe apples, and she scolded him playfully.
"Get out of here! Stop talking nonsense!"
"Xuemei, look! Mengyue, you've proven me right."
Shen Mengyin exclaimed excitedly, as if she had discovered a new continent.
"Look how red their faces are!"
Shen Mengyin looked at Meng Yue's blushing cheeks and teased her again, a mischievous smile on her face.
Meng Yue was both ashamed and angry. She stood up and pretended to cover Shen Mengyin's mouth.
"Stop talking nonsense, Mengyin! If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart."
Come on over~
Upon hearing Meng Yue's threat, Shen Mengyin was not afraid at all; instead, she made another provocative remark.
Her nonchalant attitude completely ignited Meng Yue's fighting spirit.
Upon seeing this, Meng Yue immediately pounced on Shen Mengyin.
He precisely grabbed Shen Mengyin's ticklish spots with both hands and began to scratch them.
Shen Mengyin was caught off guard by Meng Yue's weakness and burst into laughter, quickly begging for mercy.
"Oh dear, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, stop scratching me!"
However, Meng Yue wouldn't stand for it. Pretending not to hear, she continued to grope Shen Mengyin.
Seeing that begging for mercy was useless, Shen Mengyin was not willing to back down and began to fight back.
In an instant, the two girls were locked in a fierce battle, and the dormitory was filled with their laughter and screams.
The two women fought back and forth, neither gaining the upper hand, their battle proving fierce and evenly matched.
Qin Xuemei smiled knowingly as she watched the two bickering, and continued making the bed.
……
"Xia Gong".
In the technical department office, Meng Yue gently pushed open the door and went inside.
She walked up to Xia Tian's desk and spoke somewhat reservedly.
Xia Tian is focused on writing her annual work summary.
Hearing the sound, he stopped writing, looked up at Meng Yue, and smiled gently.
"Comrade Xiao Meng, is there anything I can help you with?"
Meng Yue took a deep breath before speaking.
"Mr. Xia, I'd like to request a few days of leave to visit my family!"
She looked at Xia Tian, her eyes unconsciously darting away.
Xia Tian nodded in agreement upon hearing Meng Yue's words and readily agreed.
"Okay, how many days do you want to take?"
Meng Yue cautiously asked.
"Mr. Xia, is it alright if I take half a month off?"
Upon hearing this, Xia Tian smiled and said.
"I'll write you a note right now."
"Take this note to the General Affairs Office and get Director Zhang to sign it!"
As she spoke, Xia Tian picked up a leave slip and quickly filled it out.
After filling it out, Xia Tian handed it to Meng Yue and continued to give her instructions.
"Remember to hand over your work properly! Be careful on the road and have a safe journey!"
Meng Yue took the leave slip and felt a warm feeling well up in her heart when she heard Xia Tian's words of advice.
