Chapter 360
"Mom, don't worry, wait until next year or the summer after the next year, before the summer vacation, let's go back and have a look."

Sheng Xiping over there could hear his parents' homesickness, so he smiled and comforted them.

The winter in my hometown is not as pleasant as in the Northeast where there is plenty of firewood to burn.

There are more grass burning there, the kang is not too hot, and the stove is rarely lit, so the room is not as comfortable as the sun outside.

That's why Sheng Xiping said that when he goes back in summer, at least it won't be cold.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen looked at each other and sighed.

"To put it lightly, where will this big family go to live?

Life is not easy in my hometown. If we go back together, we can stay there for a day or two.

If you stay here for a long time, why don't you scare your uncle and your third uncle?How can there be so much food for us? "Zhang Shuzhen shook her head.

At this time, everyone is having a hard time, so don't go back and scare people.

If you have the money to send it back, you might as well mail it back, so that the elderly at home can get some benefits.

"A few days ago, I asked the boss to mail back the things and money. Don't worry, I might get a letter from my hometown one day."

She herself didn't believe what Zhang Shuzhen said.

I send things and money to my hometown every year, but the Sheng family receives the things and money, not to mention expressing my gratitude, and there are few replies.

On the other hand, Zhang Shuzhen's natal family always sends some specialties from her hometown here every year.

It doesn’t matter how much something is, whether it’s high or low, the key is one’s heart.

Over the years of husband and wife, Zhang Shuzhen has long been accustomed to the Sheng family's way of doing things. She is too lazy to complain in front of her children to save some face for her husband.

Sheng Liancheng was not stupid, so why couldn't he understand the meaning of his wife's words?But those people on the other end were his relatives, what could he say?

"Well, thanks to my boss being at home this year, I don't have to worry about anything." Sheng Liancheng could only hum and agree.

"Eat, eat, the dumplings today are delicious."

No matter how good the Sheng family's life is, they can't eat dumplings every day.

We have to rely on supply of rice and white flour, which is just a little bit every month, so on weekdays we still have more whole grains like pancakes.

While the adults were chatting, the children were working hard with their heads down. Even Sheng Xinhua only had one dumpling for two mouths, which was delicious.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw that all the dumplings in her grandson's bowl were gone, she picked up two more and said, "Hey, eat slowly, don't be in a hurry, there are so many dumplings, don't overeat."

Seeing her little grandson's tiger-headed look, Zhang Shuzhen couldn't help but laugh.

Looking at my son, daughter-in-law, and daughter-in-law, I feel even more happy.

Okay, as long as the family is harmonious and beautiful, there is no need to worry about other things.

My hometown is far away, so I can do whatever I want. Out of sight, out of mind.

"Girl, how are you eating the dumplings? How about a little more jealousy?"

Zhang Shuzhen looked at Zhou Qinglan opposite, wondering if Zhou Qinglan could eat the dumplings tonight.

"Mom, the dumplings are okay. I poured a lot of vinegar on them." Zhou Qinglan waved her hands after hearing this.

She tasted two dumplings just now, but she felt they were tasteless, so she poured a lot of vinegar into the small plate. It was quite good to eat them so sour.

"Mom, don't let her get jealous again. Oh my god, she poured so much vinegar just now. I feel sour just looking at it."

Sheng Xiping next to him looked at Zhou Qinglan in horror. He had never seen anyone so jealous after eating dumplings.

Is it possible to eat this way?Are your teeth sore?
"What do you know? A hot girl, your wife is probably pregnant with another boy."

Zhang Shuzhen smiled happily when she heard this. In the hearts of people of their generation, the concept of having more children and grandchildren has been deeply ingrained in them.

If there are more boys, the family will work harder, and the more they work, the more money they will earn. In this forest farm, there are all high-effort jobs. When boys grow up, they can still find jobs, but it is difficult for girls to find jobs.

It's not that anyone favors boys over girls, but there are some things, just like that, there's nothing you can do about it.

"It's better to have a girl. I like girls who are obedient, sensible, and considerate." Sheng Xiping muttered softly on the other end.

I already have one son, and I wouldn’t be surprised to have another one. It’s great to have a daughter, such a caring little cotton-padded jacket.

"So you can still choose between boys and girls? If you plant a bean, corns will grow.

It doesn't matter whether she is a daughter or a boy, you know that your parents love you, and the boy will be equally filial.

If he is a white-eyed wolf, he will be as irritating as he should be, regardless of whether he is a girl or a boy. "Over there, Sheng Liancheng said.

"Our family is not that particular. Don't worry about girls and boys. We treat them all the same.

Just raise your children well and educate them well. No matter how young a girl is, as long as she is successful, she will be benefited. "

Okay, the head of the family has spoken, what else does Sheng Xiping say?There's no need to worry about being a girl or a boy, just do whatever you like.

Being able to be reincarnated into the Sheng family is a fate cultivated over several lifetimes, so just cherish it.

In this year and age, it is easy to celebrate the New Year. There is no such thing as saying goodbye to Zao. Even the Lord Zao won’t let you post it, so why bother to say goodbye to Zao?

After putting off the whip, the whole family had a lively meal of dumplings, and the New Year was over.

Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Liancheng had lived in the mountains for several months. Naturally, they had a lot to say when they returned home.

After dinner, the family sat on the hot Kang, drinking tea and talking.

Sheng Liancheng and his father talked about what happened in the mountains, and Sheng Xiping talked about what he had done while hunting at home.

The lives of ordinary people are not so spectacular, and they are just plain and ordinary.

"Boy, how are you working in the mountains? No one is going to trouble you, right?"

The disbandment of the Educated Youth Team this year has disrupted several other work teams. Even though they are all from the same forestry farm, those old workers and masters, relying on their seniority, always like to point fingers at the young people.

Sheng Xi'an is also a quiet person, so it will inevitably make people feel easy to bully, so Sheng Xiping asked this question.

"Brother, the mountain is okay. I will work with Brother Jianshe to help Li Dazhuang.

You know what kind of job Li Dazhuang is like. Brother Jianshe is the only one who can quarrel with him. He doesn't dare to show off his wings in front of us. Sheng Xian said with a smile.

No matter how you say it, the Sheng family has some foundation in Qianchuan Forest Farm.

Although Sheng Xiping did not go up the mountain, Sheng Liancheng was on the mountain, and there were Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others taking care of him, not to mention Wang Jiachuan and Zheng Xianyong.

Unless the average person has a bad brain, who would have nothing to do to stumble Sheng Xi'an?
"Li Dazhuang, then it's okay. He can do the construction work better than him with one hand." Sheng Xiping also laughed after hearing this.

Most of the new recruits who came to the mountain this year started working as assistants. They have to practice for two years before they can take charge of their own business. This is the rule.

But in fact, no matter Wang Jianshe or Chen Weiguo, their skills are absolutely excellent, and Li Dazhuang's level is simply incomparable.

Therefore, Li Dazhuang didn't even dare to fart in front of Wang Jianshe, and naturally he didn't dare to bully Sheng Xian.

"Brother Xiping, what are you doing at home?"

While they were chatting in the house, they heard a dog barking twice outside. Then someone opened the door and entered the house, and Wang Jianshe's movements were heard. "Haha, if you talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be here soon. We were talking about you just now, and you are here before we even finish our words. Why are you so careless in talking about it?"

Sheng Xiping came out of the back room and saw Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and Gao Haining coming in from the outside, so he smiled.

"Ah? What did you say about me?"

Wang Jianshe came in from the outside with a smile, stamped his feet at the door, patted the snow on his body, and asked with a smile.

Sheng Xiping told Wang Jianshe what he had just said to Sheng Xi'an. When everyone heard this, they all laughed.

"To be honest, I really don't like Li Dazhuang's abilities.

The key point is, haven’t we just become workers?The qualifications are here, there is no recruitment.Just hang in there, it'll be fine in two years.

Xiping is still smart and goes to work in the security department, where he is free and comfortable. "Everyone followed Sheng Xiping into the east room and said as they walked.

Of the five people recruited this year, except for Sheng Xiping, who works in the security department, the others all work in the work team.

Wang Jianshe and Yu Shuaijun are chain saw assistants, Chen Weiguo is a tractor assistant, and Guo Yongping is a winch assistant.

New recruits must start as assistants when they join the work team, no matter what they did before.

Not to mention the people in the educated youth team, most of them were doing hard work such as breaking branches, clearing forests, and loading cars.

There is no way, there are not many easy jobs on the logging front line, so we just have to work hard to make money.

Fortunately, frontline workers have high wages and generous subsidies, and they can retire early for heavy physical work.

Although department staff are idle, their wages are low, their subsidies are small, and they retire late.

Therefore, if there is an advantage, there must be a disadvantage, and it is impossible to take advantage of all the good things in the world.

While everyone was talking, they stepped into the east room. When they saw Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen, they hurriedly said hello.

"Hey, you guys are so gathered tonight, you're all here."

Sheng Liancheng looked at Wang Jianshe and others, nodded with a smile.

"Weiguo, how is your baby? Is he going to be pregnant soon?"

Chen Weiguo's daughter-in-law, Zhao Juan, gave birth to a girl on January 14th, the 26th of the winter lunar month.

Originally, the due date calculated by the doctor at the health center was January [-], but the girl was born in Zhao Juan's belly for eight more days.

However, this girl was quite big when she was born, weighing six pounds or eight taels, which was two pounds heavier than Sheng Xinhua's original weight.

The Chen family got a big fat granddaughter. Xu Xiuxiang was so happy that she never let go.

As a result, I almost forgot to cook for my daughter-in-law while taking care of the children, which made me laugh.

"Well, I'm about to have my confinement. What my dad meant was that every household was busy before the year, so we're just waiting for the full moon party on the sixth day of the second lunar month. Then the aunt and uncle will take all the younger brothers and sisters in the family there."

Speaking of his daughter, Chen Weiguo's smile became even stronger.

He is in the mountains, and his wife has not returned since giving birth. Today is the first time that father and daughter have met.

When Chen Weiguo saw the fat and white girl, he felt so strange that he hugged her for almost an hour.

"Well, okay, your father's arrangement is quite reasonable. There is nothing to do in the first month of the year, so it's just a good time to join in the fun." Sheng Liancheng nodded.

"Hey, Xiping, are you working day and night shifts these days?
You see, the Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and the family has not prepared anything.

Otherwise, you can lead us up the mountain to get something back to prepare for the New Year. "

While Chen Weiguo was talking to Sheng Liancheng, Gao Haining sat next to Sheng Xiping and asked in a low voice.

"I'm working the day shift this week and the night shift next week."

Sheng Xiping calculated that Sunday was the 26th of the twelfth lunar month, and it seemed a bit late to go up the mountain at that time.

In fact, Sheng Xiping had been hiking in the mountains a lot this winter, and there was no shortage of meat at home, but now that the brothers were here, he couldn't refuse.

"Let's do this. I'll join someone else for a few days. Tomorrow morning, we'll take the dog up the mountain and beat whatever we encounter."

Sheng Xiping plans to take a few days off after the new year to accompany Zhou Qinglan back to her parents' home for a short stay, so she cannot take this leave randomly.

If you skip shifts, it doesn't count as asking for leave. If you come back late in the evening, ask Sheng Xikang to take over.

The night shift is just that, as long as nothing goes wrong.

Gao Haining and others came to Sheng's house mainly for hunting.

After the matter was finalized, everyone was happy, chatting and talking about the interesting things that happened on the mountain. Before they knew it, it was already getting late.

Xiao Xinhua yawned so sleepily that Wang Jianshe saw it and quickly dragged everyone away.

"Uncle, aunt, it's getting late. Let's go home. We'll talk another day. You should also go to bed early. I think Xinhua is tired."

The group put on their hats and walked out. Sheng Xiping followed them out, and together they went to the security department. They discussed with someone on the night shift who they got along with better, and worked with him on the same shift.

The other party also understood the reason for Sheng Xiping's shift shift, so he suggested that if Sheng Xiping and the others went into the mountains to hunt wild boars, leave some pork for him.

If you ask someone to work as a substitute, you will definitely have to get some benefits, so Sheng Xiping readily agreed.

After coming out of the security department, the brothers separated and went home. Sheng Xiping returned home and locked the door before going into the house to rest.

The Sheng family had all washed up and got into bed. Sheng Xinhua had been living with her grandma these days, and now she was lying on Zhang Shuzhen's bed, soundly asleep.

Sheng Xiping thought for a while and simply took the child back to the west room. The little guy slept soundly and didn't notice at all that he was moved in his sleep.

Early the next morning, Sheng Xiping got up to fetch water and cook, such as porridge and dumplings in the Eastern pot, and dog food in the Western pot.When the food is ready, everyone is asked to get up and eat.

After breakfast, the dog food had also cooled down, so I put it in the dog food bowl and fed it to the dogs one by one.

Normally, as long as Sheng Xiping feeds the dog, it means that he will go up the mountain today.

The dogs in the Sheng family are all very smart. As soon as they saw Sheng Xiping feeding them, they immediately knew what was going on.

One by one, they were wagging their tails and chirping, fearing that Sheng Xiping wouldn't lead them when they went up the mountain later.

"Okay, they are all delicious. There are many people today, so you can all follow us up the mountain." Sheng Xiping patted the dogs' heads to comfort them.

I don’t know if these dogs understood it or not. Anyway, when Sheng Xiping said this, they stopped choking and hurriedly lowered their heads to eat.

Before the dog finished eating, Wang Jianshe and others packed up and came over fully armed.

Sheng Xiping also quickly packed up. He put dry food, bullets and other things for going up the mountain in his cross-body pocket, then took off the gun sling from the wall and put it away.

"Let's go to the security department and ask for two guns and two packs of bullets."

When Sheng Xiping led people to hunt jackals and leopards, Wang Jiachuan specially approved it and gave them a few semi-automatic trees for the educated youth team to use, so that they did not have to defend Keli every time they hunted.

Didn’t Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo both recruit workers?The gun was taken away at the scene, leaving only the one in Sheng Xiping's hand.

Therefore, for hunting today, they have to go to the Security Department to borrow another gun, at least one.
