Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 348 Badger Ridge

Before Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin took the bus back to Qianchuan Forest Farm, Qianchuan's leaders, department cadres, and some workers all knew about Chen Weimin's visit to the bureau.

The leaders of the relevant departments in the bureau called and verified some of Chen Weimin's situation.

Therefore, when the motorcycle parked at the small train station of Qianchuan Forest Farm, someone from the field department was waiting there.

Seeing Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin get out of the car, they were led directly to the field.

"Weimin, this recruitment is a big deal. The forest farm doesn't have such great power, so there really is nothing we can do about it.

But when the bureau leaders called to verify, we spoke for you.

It proves that your family's life is indeed difficult, and you are also very good. I hope the leader will consider it as appropriate and give you a job opportunity. "

Zheng Xianyong was at the forest farm today. As soon as he saw Chen Weimin, Zheng Xianyong explained.

"There is really no other way to do it now. Since the bureau said that you should wait for the letter, then you should go home and wait to see what happens.

There's no point in being anxious, you just have to wait patiently. "What can the field leader say? Apart from comforting Chen Weimin, there is nothing else to say.

"Thank you, leader. I know. Then I'll go home and wait for Xin'er."

Sheng Xiping was vaccinated in advance and gave guidance along the way, so Chen Weimin's mood was relatively stable and he didn't say much.

"Okay, then you two go home and rest first. If there is any news from the bureau, we will inform you."

Zheng Xianyong and Chen Shiliang were old friends. Knowing that Chen Shiliang had a stubborn temper, he was afraid that Chen Weimin would have the same stubborn temper and get into trouble, so he specially called someone over to comfort him.

Seeing that Chen Weimin was in a good mood, Zheng Xianyong also breathed a sigh of relief. If Chen Weimin failed to solve the problem by going to the bureau and continued to seek death and survival, it would be troublesome.

In any case, Chen Weimin finally got a little spark when he went to the bureau this time.

The leaders in the field were very busy. Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin did not stay in the field for long. After saying a few words, they left the field.

"Xiaomin, please go home and rest first. If anything happens, come see me at home.

Remember what I said and think for the best in everything. A determined person will not collapse because of a little setback.

Gold will always shine. As long as you have real skills, people will find out sooner or later. "

Standing outside the gate of the venue, Sheng Xiping gave Chen Weimin a few more instructions.

Sheng Xiping did not reveal to Chen Weimin what Zhou Mingyuan said at Zhou's house last night.

Temporary workers and the like are just Zhou Mingyuan's ideas. It's hard to say whether they can work in Chengdu. We can't give Chen Weimin random hope.

All they can do is give it a push at the right time, and they can't talk nonsense before the results come out.

"I know, brother, thank you for accompanying me down, and for delaying my work.

Then I will go home first. My brother and sister-in-law will sit at home when I have time. "

Chen Weimin nodded. Sheng Xiping talked to him a lot along the way and enlightened him everywhere. Chen Weimin was not stupid, so how could he be so ignorant?

In this way, the two separated, with Chen Weimin heading west and Sheng Xiping heading north.

The Sheng family is close to the venue, and it only takes a few minutes to arrive. As soon as they enter the door, the dogs start to chirp and rush towards Sheng Xiping.

"It's only been two days since I last saw you. I look at each of you as if I haven't seen you for a long time."

Sheng Xiping quickly stepped forward and petted the dogs to prevent them from causing trouble again.

After finally coaxing the dog, Sheng Xiping quickly entered the house.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw his eldest son sitting in a big flower basket and playing with a rattle, while Zhang Shuzhen was cutting vegetables and preparing lunch.

It was past ten o'clock. Sheng Xinhua just woke up from his sleep in the morning, ate a chicken cake, and then sat in the flower basket and played.

As for Zhang Shuzhen, she was cooking and chatting with her grandson.

Anyway, the old man and the young man were talking to each other, and no one else could understand what they were talking about.

As soon as Sheng Xiping came in from outside, Sheng Xinhua, who was having a good time, stopped immediately.He stood up holding the flower basket and asked Sheng Xiping to hug him with his little hands.

Over there, Zhang Shuzhen also saw her eldest son, "Come back so soon? I was thinking about coming back tomorrow."

How is it?Has there been any outcome to Wei Min's matter? "Zhang Shuzhen just finished cutting the vegetables, wiped her hands with her apron, and went into the room to talk with Sheng Xiping.

"Weimin affairs are not easy to deal with, and there is no chance of results in a short while. This time I go, just to get acquainted with the leaders.

The bureau said it would hold a meeting to discuss the matter and report it to the higher-ups. I guess three to five months would be a quick reply. "

Sheng Xiping held his son in his arms, lifted him up high, and then put his son on the kang. While teasing the child, he chatted with his mother.

"Yeah, that's right. If this matter was easy to handle, the forestry farm would have helped solve it long ago.

Okay, that's all we can help, the rest is all up to Wei Min. "Zhang Shuzhen nodded, they had known for a long time that it would not be so easy.

"Mom, the skins, bear bile, musk, etc. were sold for a total of [-] this time.

One of the straw gallbladders was sold for [-] yuan, which had to be divided with several people in the security department. The rest of the money is here. "

After Sheng Xiping got married, she still lived with her parents. She did not separate the family, nor did she start her own meal.

Zhang Shuzhen also took care of the children, washed clothes and cooked meals. Sheng Xiping earned money and should pay it to his family as a matter of course.

That bear gallbladder, the first few people on the night shift in the security department didn't even think about taking Sheng Xiping with them, just because Sheng Xiping wanted to make a bomb.

Later, they went hunting bear bald, and were almost kicked by the black blind man. They only told Sheng Xiping after they came back.

Sheng Xiping didn't take anyone else with him, so he took the dog into the mountain and killed the black blind man.

Ordinarily, it would be fine to divide the money among a few people, and there would be no fault if not divided.

After all, they were all colleagues who worked together, and Sheng Xiping didn't want to make things too ugly.

So I discussed with Zhang Shuzhen and gave the three people 150 yuan and let it go.

Two thousand five hundred and fifty were taken out, and the remaining money was divided into two. Zhang Shuzhen kept one thousand two thousand, and the one thousand one hundred and fifty was given to Sheng Xiping.

"Mom, you put some clothes on Xinhua, and I'll take him to the security department."

Sheng Xiping was out for two days, and little Xinhua kept hugging his father's neck and wouldn't let go.

When Sheng Xiping went to the West Room to put money, this little guy had to follow him. Sheng Xiping thought of giving the money to the three people before getting off work at noon, but Sheng Xinhua grinned and was about to cry.

Sheng Xiping had no choice but to ask his mother to help him put on thick clothes, a hat and a scarf on Sheng Xinhua, wrap him up in a quilt, and carry his son out of the house.

It was noon, the sun was not bad outside, and the wind was not that strong.

Sheng Xiping carefully covered his son's mouth and nose with a scarf, and then carried Xiao Xinhua all the way to the security department of the field.

"Oh, Xiping, why did you take the child out? Oh, let me see my eldest nephew."

Li Zhenggang happened to be in the security department. When he saw Sheng Xiping carrying the child through the door, he quickly reached out to take the child.

Sheng Xinhua is a baby who doesn't know how to be born. He can be held by anyone. Li Zhenggang doesn't cry even if he holds him.When he came to a new environment, the little guy's eyes were not strong enough. He looked around and everything felt new.

Sheng Xiping also took the opportunity to distribute the money to the three people.

After everyone took the money, they all said that Sheng Xiping was loyal. If they found any prey in the future, they would definitely tell Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xinhua came to the security department for the first time, and everything looked strange.

This baby is handsome, fair and fat as a dough, has a good temper, and laughs whenever he sees people without crying or making trouble.

Even the rough men in the security department who didn't even care about their own children couldn't help but come over one by one and hold Sheng Xinhua in their arms.

"You said you are raising children, why is your Xinhua family so rare?
Look at the kids in my family. They look like they were dug out of the coal pile every day. Their faces are so colorful that it makes my head hurt just looking at them. "

Someone was holding the cute and well-behaved Sheng Xinhua while complaining about their child.

This was all a joke, no one took it seriously, and they just laughed it off.

A daughter-in-law is someone else's good thing, and a child is one's own good thing. This is an eternal truth. No matter how much you dislike your own children, you still like them in your heart.

Sheng Xiping worked the night shift, so after wandering around the security department and satisfying Xiao Xinhua's curiosity, Sheng Xiping wrapped his son again and left the security department.

Before leaving, Xiao Xinhua waved his little hands to say goodbye to the uncles and uncles in the security department.

That cute little appearance made the people in the security department shout, asking Sheng Xiping to pick up the child and play with it when nothing happened.

"Little bear, you are quite good at pretending for your age. You behave well when you go out. At home, you always come to me, right?"

Sheng Xiping smiled and kissed his son's little face, then carried the baby all the way home.

December [-]th is the Heavy Snow Festival, and from then on until the Great Cold Festival, the temperature is relatively low.

The fur of animals in the mountains is thick, soft and shiny, making it the best time to hunt for skins.

Especially sable fur, which is the best fur and is a good material for export to make fur coats. The purchase price is not low.

At this time in previous years, Sheng Xiping was logging in the mountains and had no chance to go up the mountains, let alone sables.

Now that he is working in the security department and has a lot of free time, why not hurry up and go up the mountain?
So, taking advantage of his shift, Sheng Xiping put on his skis made of boar skin, carried a gun on his back, and loaded up a pocket of hardboard clips, and went up the mountain.

That ski was given to Sheng Xiping by Liu Changde a few years ago.

Liu Changde was a soldier and an experienced hunter. He was proficient in various hunting methods and the production of various hunting tools. He was very good at everything.

This boar-skin ski is somewhat similar to the professional skis of later generations, with the hairy side facing down and the smooth hair facing forward.

There are special places for placing your feet on the skis, and there are thin ropes on both sides of the foot covers.

When using it, put your feet in the muffs, tie them tightly with strings, and get two ash sticks in your hands to lean on.

Just go step by step when going uphill. It's easy to go downhill. Just grasp the direction and go down.

Sables generally live in high mountains. They like to build their nests in the crevices of the rocks at the foot of the mountains.

Of course, this nest is not fixed and may be moved at any time as the seasons and food change.

Sables are solitary animals. Except for the breeding season, female and male sables do not live together and spend most of their time alone.

Sables have their own territory and usually hunt within a radius of more than ten miles around their nests, targeting birds, rats, rabbits, etc.

In winter, most of them prey on rats in the mountains.

Small things like sables are clever and fast, making them difficult to catch.

Experienced hunters will look for the pattern of the sable's activity range through the tracks on the snow, and then find out where it often hangs out and trap it.

Sheng Xiping learned how to hunt sables from Liu Changde. A few years ago, when he was not an educated youth, he also went to the mountains with Liu Changde.

Although he had not had the opportunity to hunt sables with traps in the past few years, when he was working in the mountains, he had discovered several places where sables often moved.

So this time, Sheng Xiping carried a clip on his back and stepped on his skis, heading straight for the target location.

The snow this year is quite heavy. It's only December, and there have been several heavy snowfalls in succession. The snow on the top of the mountain has already reached Sheng Xiping's waist.

If there were no skis, the pressure on the snow would be too great, and the person would fall directly into the snow nest, and it would be troublesome to climb out.

Sheng Xiping found traces of sable in a pine forest on the top of the mountain.It's not the kind of footprints that you run over in a single trip, but the kind that are very dense and you don't know how many times you stepped back and forth.

Animals in the mountains have their own special rules for walking. The so-called snakes have snake paths and rats have rat paths.

The same goes for the sable, which only takes the route it considers safe. Once something abnormal happens on this road, it will never go on this road again.

There were many sable footprints left by walking on this hillside. Sheng Xiping selected two or three locations with the densest footprints, dug holes, buried clips, then filled the holes and marked them with things.

After laying the clamps in one place, he got up and went to another place. In one morning, Sheng Xiping visited four or five places and laid out all the clamps he brought.

After placing the clip, don't be too anxious to walk the clip, just take a look at it after ten or eight days.

The meat of sable is not tasty, only the skin is there, so it doesn't matter whether it's alive or dead, since the skin won't be damaged if it freezes.

Sheng Xiping went up to the mountain to do this kind of work today. He didn't plan to hunt, so he didn't bring any dry food.

After wandering around the mountain for a whole morning, all the clips were finished, so I stepped on my skis and leaned on the ash stick and headed down the mountain.

As I was sliding down, I suddenly saw two things running very fast on the snow in the distance, one behind the other.

The one in front is smaller, gray in color, has a round body, and doesn’t run very fast.

The one at the back is much larger, with dark spots on its brown-gray fur. It runs very fast and is about to catch up with the little guy in front.

As a result, the little guy in front made a sharp turn and dived into the cave under the loess ridge.

When the guy behind him saw that the meat in his mouth was about to run away, was that still okay?So he also got into the hole under the loess ridge.

Sheng Xiping was far away and didn't quite understand what was going on. He only saw the two things, one big and one small, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

He felt strange, so he carefully slid down with the stick and quietly approached the place where the two things disappeared.

This hillside faces the sun, and there are small rivers and meadows at the foot of the mountain. The vegetation is dense and the terrain is complex.

Sheng Xiping knew that this place was called Badger Ridge among old hunters.

It is said that there used to be a lot of badgers here, and groups of badgers could often be seen foraging in the woods.

After the snow falls and before hibernation, the snow all over the mountain is covered with badger footprints.

Nowadays, there are not that many badgers here, but there is a nest of about five or six badgers under the loess ridge.

Sheng Xiping had seen it before, but he had been busy recently and hadn't bothered to come over and dig out the badger's hole.

The big one and the small one just now must have gotten into the badger hole under the loess ridge.

Sheng Xiping decided to find a place to hang out and see what those big and small ones were.
