Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 403 Brain Axe

Huahua's return made everyone in the Sheng family very happy.Of course, the happiest person is Sheng Xinhua.

After the little guy woke up in the morning, he found the brain ax in the outer room. Now he didn't care about anyone. He hugged Huahua's neck and didn't let go. He had to be with Huahua.

Even Sheng Xinyu, who was only one year and four months old, danced happily when he saw Huahua and had to touch Huahua.

Zhou Qinglan was afraid that her youngest son would be in trouble now and hurt Huahua, so she just carried her son over, and after touching him a few times, she hugged him and left.

What can Sheng Xinyu do?He was howling for the cat, his arms and legs were not acting up, and he would not stop kicking him.

Zhou Qinglan saw that there was nothing he could do, so he could only put his youngest son down. Sheng Xinyu quickly ran to Tiger's side and sat down next to Huahua.

"Cat Cat." Sheng Xinyu murmured while touching Huahua's belly.

"Brother, this is not a cat, it's a tiger." Sheng Xinhua was older and knew more, so he quickly corrected his brother.

"Brain Ax?" Sheng Xinyu's pronunciation was not very standard, so he called the tiger "Brain Ax".

"No, Tiger." Sheng Xinhua shook his head and continued to correct. "tiger."

"Brain axe, brain axe." Sheng Xinyu nodded repeatedly, indicating that he understood.

Everyone in the outer room couldn't help laughing when they looked at the two brothers.

"Okay, let them play with Huahua, and let's cook quickly.

Today is 28, and tomorrow is the Chinese New Year, so I have to eat meat quickly during the day. "

Zhang Shuzhen came out of the back room, saw Yihu and the two children getting along well, and smiled.

This year’s New Year’s Eve is early this year. On New Year’s Eve, the family steamed several pots of steamed buns and other things. The meat wasn’t cooked yet, and I didn’t cook anything else. I had to hurry up.

When Zhou Qinglan saw that the two children refused to leave Huahua, she had no choice but to shake her head, hurriedly washed her face, cleaned up, and then cooked with her mother-in-law.

On the kang in the west room, Sheng Xiping, who originally wanted to take a nap, resigned himself to his fate, put on his clothes and went to the ground. After washing his face, he began to clean up the pigs and deer on the ground.

The pig was disemboweled last night, and the deer itself was eviscerated by Huahua. All he had to do was skin it off, then remove the bones and chop it open.

Following his mother's instructions, Sheng Xiping skinned the pigs and deer, chopped them into large pieces, and put them in a large basin for later use.

After the tidying up and the meal was done, Zhang Shuzhen greeted everyone to eat.

The two little guys, Sheng Xin Hua and Sheng Xin Yu, refused to go into the house to eat, and had to accompany Hua Hua.

"You two, go eat first. Huahua should be at home today. You can play with it after eating. If you don't obey, you won't be allowed to play with Huahua in the future."

Sheng Xiping saw that this was not going to work. We could not let the children have their own temper, so he scolded the two children with a heavy face.

Not to mention, both children were frightened by Sheng Xiping's change of expression.So I obediently went to wash my hands and went inside to eat.

After breakfast, Huahua moved her place, ran from the outhouse to the west room, and lay down on the ground next to the wall of fire.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are two children who love tigers and never leave them.

When Sheng Xiping saw it, he could only spread a few sacks on the ground, then take out the bearskin mattress and spread it on the ground, so that the two children could play.

The two fell in love with Huahua and didn't go anywhere else, just in time to save them from causing trouble.

The two children were having fun, so Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan freed up their hands to get busy making food.

A portion of the freshly cut pork was reserved for mincing stuffing and cooking. Sheng Xiping took all the pig heads, elbows, and trotters outside and burned the pig hairs with fire.

For some difficult-to-treat areas, either use a stove hook to heat them, or use linoleum paper to light them and drip them.

Normally people don't have anywhere to get asphalt to deal with pig hair, let alone a blowtorch these days, so they can only use earthen methods.

Brother Sheng Xiping and the others were busy making pig heads and knuckles outside, while Zhou Qinglan and Zhang Shuzhen were busy unloading the goods.

Wait until these are all packed up, throw them directly into the pot, and cook them all.

It happened that Liu Yujiang and his two brothers brought a lot of red beans, so Zhang Shuzhen said that she wanted to make some bean buns or something to keep for the New Year.

So the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law picked some adzuki beans, washed them thoroughly, and put them in another pot to make some adzuki bean stuffing.

Then I made noodles, chopped meat fillings and sauerkraut, and made two pots of bean buns and two pots of sauerkraut fillings in the afternoon.

In addition to the steamed buns I steamed before, I don’t think I will need to steam dry food for several days after the New Year.

After a busy day, there is no need to cook anything else at night. Just eat steamed stuffed buns with pickled cabbage fillings and bean buns.

Huahua didn't go out all day, just coaxing the children in the west room. At night, someone from the Sheng family came to listen to the radio, but Huahua didn't make a sound. Others didn't know that Huahua had returned to the forest farm.

At night, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu refused to sleep and had to stick to Huahua.

When Huahua saw this, she jumped on the kang and lay down on the kang. The two children were happy now and lay next to Huahua, and fell asleep soon after.

"This Huahua coaxes the children as soon as she comes back. Why do you think she is so spiritual? I thought she would no longer recognize our family when she returns to the wild."

Zhou Qinglan took a small quilt and covered the two children. She looked at the two children in front of her and smiled.

"It has been growing up in our house since it was a child. It has feelings and knows who is good to it."

Sheng Xiping lay down with his wife in his arms and stretched out his hand to pull down the light cord. The room was dark, and only Huahua's snoring could be heard.

After a while, the voice gradually became quieter, and Huahua must have fallen asleep.

It’s the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month and it’s the New Year.

Early in the morning, the Sheng family all got up, had a simple breakfast, and started working.

Sheng Liancheng led his sons outside to clean up the yard, clear the snow, chop firewood, put up lantern poles, and post couplets.

Zhang Shuzhen led her daughter-in-law and daughter to fry and cook all kinds of delicious food in the house.

As for the two babies, Huahua was coaxing them. Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu liked Huahua. They sat next to Huahua, rubbed Huahua's fur, and touched Huahua's big paws.

Sheng Xinhua, the silly and bold guy, didn't pick up Huahua's mouth to look at the tiger's teeth this time. He only hugged Huahua's neck and kissed Huahua from time to time.

As for Sheng Xinyu, he just looked at Huahua's big tail for fun and insisted on catching it.

Huahua deliberately teased the child, waving her tail gently to prevent Sheng Xinyu from catching it.

Zhang Shuzhen was not at ease. While working, she would look into the west room from time to time. Seeing that Huahua was playing well with the two children, she turned back to work.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the food was ready, and Zhang Shuzhen invited everyone to eat.

Sheng Xiping picked up a piece of meat, put it in a basin, gave it to Huahua in the west room, and then led the two children to the east room for dinner.

The family sat around the table, which was filled with dishes, a bottle of wine, and several bottles of soda.

"Come on, come on, fill up all the glasses. It's Chinese New Year and our family will have a lively reunion dinner."

Sheng Liancheng greeted the children and filled their glasses.The three Sheng Xiping brothers each poured a glass of wine, while the others poured soda.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu's eyes lit up when they saw the soda. Before anyone else could drink it, they took a big sip from the cup.

As soon as the cold and refreshing soda pops into his mouth, the child can't help but squint his eyes. The look of enjoyment amused everyone in the room.

"Come on, let's meet one. No matter how many troubles we had this year, they will all be over today.

Tomorrow starts another new year. I hope we all have a smooth next year. "

Sheng Liancheng picked up the wine glass and clinked it with Sheng Xiping and the other two brothers. The four of them smiled and took a sip of wine.

Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang rarely drink at home. College students of this era study very hard. They usually study in class, the library, and the dormitory, and rarely go out for parties, so Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang have no chance to drink outside.

The two of them suddenly took a sip of white wine and felt it was extremely spicy. They put down their glasses and hurriedly picked up vegetables to eat.

On the other hand, Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping often drank some and didn't think anything of it, just chatting while eating the food.

"You two, don't just drink. Eat more vegetables. I've made a whole table of dishes."

Zhang Shuzhen saw that the two men were addicted to drinking one cup after another, but the food was not moving, so she reminded them loudly and gave them a lot of food.

It’s Chinese New Year, there’s a table full of delicious food, why don’t you eat quickly?

"Second child, third child, girl, you all eat too. The school food may not be that good. I see you have all lost weight.

Come home and eat more good supplements. "Zhang Shuzhen looked at her two sons and her eldest daughter-in-law, and gave them a lot of meat and ribs.

The family talked and laughed and had a lively reunion dinner.Then rest for a while and prepare to make dumplings for the evening.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu hurried back to the West Room to find Huahua after eating.

Sheng Xiping followed him to the west room to see how the meat in the basin looked when he was handed it over. It was still sitting there untouched at all.

"What's going on? Aren't you hungry?" Sheng Xiping touched Huahua's big head.

Huahua purred, rubbed her head against Sheng Xiping, and then moved the pot to the side with her paws, which meant that she wouldn't eat.

When Sheng Xiping saw that Huahua didn't eat meat, he took the meat away, leaving the two children to play with Huahua.

Not to mention, with Huahua here, these two children are really worry-free.

On a normal day, whether they are steaming steamed buns or making buns or dumplings at home, the two children have to climb up the panel to grab a handful of noodles.

Huahua was here this time. Even if the two children heard that the east room was working, they would not hesitate to make trouble and just play with Huahua.

The two children, one tiger and one tiger in the west room, were having a good time, while Zhang Shuzhen and the others in the east room were busy making dumplings.

Around ten o'clock, after the dumplings were made, Zhou Qinglan remembered that she hadn't seen what the two children were doing.

I went to the west room to see if everything was okay. The two children were leaning on Huahua and both fell asleep.

Zhou Qinglan quickly spread the quilt and carried the two children into the bed.

At this time, Huahua also jumped off the kang, stretched out and shook her hair.

Then he stepped out of the west room, pushed open the outer door with a slight pounce, and then jumped into the yard.The dogs who were sleeping in their dens all woke up when they smelled the tiger's breath. They each shrank into their own dens, and no one went out to cause trouble.

Huahua didn't bother to pay attention to them. She jumped out of the garden stick and disappeared after a few ups and downs.

"Why did Huahua leave? I thought he could spend the New Year at home." Zhou Qinglan stood in the yard, watching Huahua leave in a daze, and murmured.

"That's good. It can stay at home for two days. It'll be weird if it can stay at home with the two of us who rub it all day long."

Sheng Xiping happened to follow him out and smiled after hearing his wife's words.

When Zhou Qinglan thought about it, it was the same. Those two naughty children in his family were really annoying. They clung to each other all day long. Huahua was really good-tempered.

"Let's go into the house. It's time to cook dumplings and set off firecrackers later. It's okay if Huahua isn't at home, lest everyone set off firecrackers and scare it."

Sheng Xiping put his arms around his wife's shoulders and they entered the house together.

Around eleven o'clock, there were only a few people setting off whips in the forest farm. When Sheng Liancheng heard the noise outside, he felt a little uneasy.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw that it was almost time, she led her daughter-in-law and daughter to cook dumplings.

When the water in the pot was boiling and the dumplings were boiling, Zhang Shuzhen shouted and asked Sheng Liancheng and the others to set off the cannon.

Bid farewell to the old year with the sound of firecrackers, and the new year has arrived with the crackling of firecrackers.

The children turned one year older and happily took the new year's money. The older people, amidst the laughter and laughter, also lamented that time makes people grow old.

After eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve, it’s New Year’s Day in a blink of an eye.

There was an accident at the forestry farm this year and it was not a happy event, so there were no celebrations. Everyone just went out to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings and so on.

If we have a good relationship, we treat each other. Three or five friends get together, cook a few dishes, and chat while drinking. They can chat about this all afternoon.

On the third day of the first lunar month, there happened to be a small train, and Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan took their two children to Songjiang River.

Wang Jianshe's daughter-in-law, Li Xue, is eight months pregnant and has difficulty moving around. She will not return to her parents' home on the third day of the Lunar New Year this year.

In previous years, Li Xuechu went back to her parents' home for the third time, and Zhao Juan and Chen Weiguo also went there to pay their aunt and uncle a happy New Year.

Zhao Juan gave birth to another baby two years ago, and he was not yet a full moon old, so the couple couldn't go to Songjiang River this year.

Originally, Zhou Qingyang was supposed to come back for the New Year and discuss his marriage to Chen Jie.

As a result, a year ago, the family suddenly received a telegram, saying that Zhou Qingyang had an urgent mission and could not come back, and his marriage to Chen Jie could only be postponed temporarily.

Sheng Xiping stayed with his wife at her parents' house for two days. On the morning of the sixth day of the first lunar month, he took a car back and left Zhou Qinglan and her children to stay at Zhou's house for a few more days.

As soon as Sheng Xiping got off the train, he was stopped by the eldest son of Zheng Xianyong's family.

"Brother, my dad is looking for you and wants you to go to the field department quickly."

Zheng Shouhua seemed to be specifically waiting for Sheng Xiping to come to the small train station to block people with such precision.

Sheng Xiping was stunned, wondering what Zheng Xianyong was looking for, so he followed Zheng Shouhua to the field department.

"Director Zheng, are you looking for me?"

When he came to the venue, he found that many people were here. Sheng Xiping didn't know what was going on, so he asked.

"Boss, you can't call the field director now, you have to call Secretary Zheng.

Well, the bureau has handed down the document. Now Director Zheng is the acting secretary, and the original production director, Uncle Zhao, is the deputy director. "

Sheng Liancheng was also present and quickly grabbed Sheng Xiping and muttered in a low voice.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, his eyes lit up. This is good. Zheng Xianyong will act as secretary, so there is no need to recruit secretaries from elsewhere.

It also prevents the new secretary from being unfamiliar with the place and having trouble carrying out his work.

The agent I'm talking about now is probably just an overkill, and after a while, I'll be the official forest farm secretary.Oh, that's alright.

"Xiping, it just so happens that you are back. I have something to ask you. Come, come, come and sit down. Let's have a small meeting to study the production issues after the year."

Zheng Xianyong waved to Sheng Xiping and told him to come and sit down. Everyone else also found a place to sit.

"As you all know, our winter sports production this year has been bumpy from the beginning, and now the dozen injured are still recovering in the Forestry Bureau Hospital.

Winter transportation production waits for no one. We haven't even completed half of this year's production tasks. We really need to hurry up now.

I have called you here to discuss how to do this work this year. "Zheng Xianyong nodded towards everyone and started the ceremony first.

"Everyone can speak freely if they have any ideas. We are all doing it for the good of the field. We must come up with a plan as soon as possible and start production as soon as possible."

Zheng Xianyong looked around, nodded towards Zhao Limin, Sun Hanwu and others, gesturing for them to speak.

Qianchuan Forestry Farm's winter production this year has been slow due to Feng Baosheng's frequent misdeeds.

Now more than a dozen workers have been seriously injured and hospitalized, leaving a mess.

Everyone gets a headache just thinking about it, how can they come up with a plan at this time?Everyone looks at me and I look at you, shaking their heads and sighing, there are no rules.

"Xiping, you were originally the captain of the Educated Youth Team. In those two years, the Educated Youth Team won the championship in terms of output every year. The assembly line working method you pioneered was also very good. Otherwise, can you tell me?"

Zheng Xianyong deliberately wanted to reuse Sheng Xiping and deliberately let him show his face.

Sheng Xi was surprised to be called to the meeting, but when his name was called again, he froze there.

"Secretary Zheng, the people in this room are all leaders and have more experience than me. How can I have any ideas?"

No one said anything, so why should he be a standout?If the idea is good, that's okay. If it's not good, people won't say it, but they won't scold him behind his back?
"Hey, Xiping, don't say that. Young people have ideas and abilities, and they must be bold.

We are all very optimistic about you. Let’s try it. It’s not a big deal. "

Next to him, Zhao Limin, who had just been promoted to deputy director, also spoke.Sun Hanwu, the production dispatcher, nodded repeatedly from the side.

"Isn't this just trying to catch up? You are all seniors. You are older than me and have more experience than me. What does it mean for me to point my fingers here?"

Sheng Xiping raised his hand and scratched his head, smiling sheepishly. He really didn't want to be in the limelight.

"We just had a meeting and discussed it. Since your work performance has always been excellent, after research in the field, we want to arrange for you to be a production scheduler.

Xiping, don’t let down the trust of the field leaders. "

Zheng Xianyong deliberately arranged for his son to go to the small train station to block Sheng Xiping today, just for this reason.

Sheng Xiping has performed well since he started working, and Zheng Xianyong originally intended to promote him.

It's just that Feng Baosheng's troubles delayed a lot of things.

This time there was an accident on the commuter bus, and the relevant leaders at the scene were not present. Sheng Xiping took command at the scene and everything was arranged in an orderly manner. More than a dozen seriously injured people were successfully sent to the hospital for treatment.

When the bureau learned of the situation, they also praised Sheng Xiping, not to mention the forest farm.

Although Zheng Xianyong is currently the acting secretary, he is just one sentence away from being officially appointed. Zhao Limin will definitely be promoted to the director of the production site, and the position of the production director will be vacant.

Generally speaking, production managers are promoted from production dispatching. Zheng Xianyong wanted Sheng Xiping to practice in the production dispatching position for a few years and then evaluate his performance.

Before Sheng Xiping came, Zheng Xianyong was already angry with Zhao Limin and Sun Hanwu, so the scene just happened.

"Uncle Zheng, isn't this bad? Not long after I started working, I worked in the security department for a while, and it has only been half a year since I returned to the frontline work team.

What kind of production schedule do you want me to do? Can people obey me? "

Sheng Xiping was stunned when he heard this. They say that this tractor assistant is the easiest to schedule production. Can it not be that easy?

"What's going on? What are you worse than others? How many of the young men in our forest farm are better and more capable than you?
In the past, in the educated youth team, there were at most a hundred educated youths. Which one was not a prick?Doesn't that mean you have to control where to hit?
Uncle believes in you, everyone in our field believes in you, show your skills and let everyone see. "

Zheng Xianyong was sitting next to Sheng Xiping. At this time, he smiled and patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder and said kindly.

Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes in his heart. He had endless worries about production scheduling and had to take care of everything. How could there be a security department?If you have a relaxing day, you can also go hunting in the mountains from time to time.

Forget it, judging from the current situation of the forest farm, it might be too much to go back to the security department.

Alas, just schedule it, what can we do?The leader has spoken, so we must give him face.

"Secretary Zheng, Director Zhao, and several work captains are all my father's generation, and I have to call them uncles.

Since all the elders think highly of me and support me, I will be bold enough to take on this task. "Sheng Xiping punched the big guy.

"That's right. Just do it if you are asked to do it. You will have so many uncles to support you later." Zheng Xianyong became happy when he heard this.

Sheng Xiping made some suggestions for production scheduling, and everyone in the room thought it was feasible.

After everyone discussed together, they decided to go to the mountains to work on the seventh day of the first lunar month and strive to complete this year's production plan with quality and quantity before mid-April.

The meeting started at nearly two o'clock, and by the time it was over, it was already noon.

"Well, let's shout a few times with the loudspeaker this afternoon, and we'll start working tomorrow.

Since the commuter bus has not been repaired yet, it will be transported up in batches by motorcycle truck tomorrow. Xiping and Hanwu, you can arrange this. "

The front glass of the commuter car was completely shattered, and other parts were also damaged. It had been towed to the Songjianghe Machine Repair Factory.

It's just in time for the Chinese New Year, so I guess it won't be repaired for a while.

"Hey, it's almost noon, so let's go to my house for dinner today. I happen to have a few bottles of good wine at home, so let's drink and chat together."

Zheng Xianyong looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late, so he suggested that everyone go to his house.

The Chinese New Year is a time for lively eating and drinking. Besides, Zheng Xianyong has been promoted and should be celebrated.

So everyone was not polite, left the venue laughing and joking, and went straight to Zheng Xianyong's house.

When I came to Zheng's house, I saw that Zheng Xianyong's daughter-in-law was busy cooking. The three boys and one daughter of the Zheng family were also helping.

Seeing everyone coming, Zheng Xianyong's daughter-in-law hurriedly invited everyone to sit in the house, and asked Zheng Shouhua, the eldest son of his family, to quickly boil water and make tea.
