Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 404 Huahua is pregnant with a baby

The leaders of the forest farm held a meeting and decided to start production on the seventh day of the first lunar month. In the afternoon of that day, the farm department loudspeaker shouted several times, and everyone in the forest farm knew.

Since the previous accident resulted in more than ten people being seriously injured and hospitalized, the work team was short of manpower, so the site decided to reorganize the previous six work teams into three work teams.

The three work captains promoted by Feng Baosheng, Guo Chunsheng and Zhao Qingli, are all in the hospital. The other one has also been withdrawn and will directly work as a tractor driver.

The two tractor drivers, Wang Tianliang and Wang Yuanjun, had already returned to their original forestry farm. The farm arranged for Chen Weiguo to be the tractor driver and assigned him an assistant.

On the morning of the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, the motorcycle truck towed a delivery truck from the back, and first sent the chain saw operator, chain saw assistant, tree cutter and other related personnel up the mountain.

Then he went back and forth several times, sending other people up one after another.

Sheng Xiping's suggestion was adopted in the field. All three work teams adopted flow-type operations. The saw hands in the front were only responsible for felling trees, and there were dedicated people in the back responsible for cutting branches, making lumber and other processes. Each work team had two tractors to collect wood.

At the loading dock, the winch driver works two shifts, loading and transporting trucks day and night.

Although the production schedule was delayed a lot due to various reasons before the new year, everyone did not seem to be discouraged after the new year, but instead felt energetic.

Everyone knows in their hearts that whether this year's production tasks can be completed will determine whether Zheng Xianyong can officially serve as secretary.

In order to prevent the superiors from bringing in someone who doesn't know anything to mess around, everyone must work hard to ensure Zheng Xianyong's position.

After all, Zheng Xianyong came from Qianchuan Forestry Farm. If he becomes secretary, at least there won't be much change in Qianchuan Forestry Farm within three to five years, and everyone can live a stable life.

In this way, with everyone working together and working overtime, this year's procurement and transportation tasks were carried out at an extremely fast speed.

Zhou Qinglan stayed at her parents' house for a few more days and returned to the forest farm on the tenth day of the first lunar month with the repaired commuter car.

As soon as I returned to the forest farm, I was called by Principal Wang to continue giving lectures to the teacher.

Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei and the others also started classes on the tenth day of the new year. Only Sheng Xitai could spend the winter vacation peacefully at home.

Of course, his brother and sister-in-law above him were all staring at him. It was absolutely impossible to act wild all day long without studying.

Sheng Xitai not only finished his winter vacation homework, but also previewed most of the courses for the first semester of junior high school under the attention of his brothers.

After Huahua left on New Year's Eve, she hung out for a while and then returned to Sheng's house.

The two children, who had been crying because they couldn't find their brain ax when they woke up, were so happy after seeing Huahua that they hugged Huahua and never let go. They had to sleep with Huahua at night.

From then on, Huahua usually stayed at home for two or three days, and then went out to wander around for four or five days. After enough wandering, he returned to live in the Sheng family to accompany his two children.

On the 26th of the first lunar month, Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xi'an packed their bags and embarked on the road to study.

This time, Zhang Shuzhen had a better memory. She hugged Sheng Xinyu in advance and took Sheng Xinhua out to play. She waited for Zhou Qinglan and the others to leave before their grandparents came back.

Sheng Xinhua, that ghostly girl, couldn't find her mother when she entered the door, so she was about to cry.

Fortunately, Huahua was at home, and when she heard something wrong with Sheng Xinhua, Huahua came directly from the west room, wandered around Sheng Xinhua, and butted him with her head.

What kid can refuse an overture of affection?
Sheng Xinhua's cry just ended and he hugged Huahua while playing.

Where did mom go?Just put this problem behind you, who cares about this?

As for Sheng Xinyu, this kid was still young and naive. Before he could realize what was going on, his attention was attracted by Huahua, so he also went to play with Huahua.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw this, she breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Huahua was at home, otherwise she would have to spend a long time coaxing her.

In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melt, winter turns to spring, and the temperature rises day by day.

Except for the commuter bus driver, the rest of the injured hospitalized in the hospital have been discharged and returned home.

Some of those whose injuries were not that serious went back to work in the work team immediately, while those who suffered broken legs and arms were discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, and were not able to engage in heavy physical labor for the time being.

After the Qingming Festival, the logging work on the mountain has also reached the final stage.

Without Feng Baosheng who could stir things up, Zheng Xianyong led all employees to work hard for two months and exceeded this year's production tasks.

People's potential is endless. After so many things, the whole team worked together as one, worked overtime day and night, and produced a beautiful report card that was not inferior to previous years.

This year, the work team came down the mountain later. It was April 25th, and only then did all the frontline work teams of the Maechuan Forestry Farm withdraw from the mountain.

Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping carried their luggage home. As soon as they entered the door, Sheng Liancheng called out. "Old lady, we are back."

It was almost noon, and Zhang Shuzhen was cleaning up and preparing to cook in the outhouse. When she heard the noise outside, she stretched her head and took a look outside.

"Oh, we're finally down the mountain. Hurry up and put your luggage in the house. I'll unpack and wash it when you have time.

It just so happens that you two don't change your clothes yet, go to the vegetable cellar in the backyard and tidy up the vegetable cellar. "

As soon as Zhang Shuzhen saw Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Liancheng, she first arranged a task for them.

Now that there is no one at home, Zhang Shuzhen is too busy to coax her children and do laundry and cooking.

I don’t know what the vegetable cellar looks like. If I don’t tidy it up quickly, the vegetables will rot after a while and I won’t be able to clean them up.

"Look at how much cabbage there is at the bottom, pick it up, keep the good ones for now, and bring up the bad ones.

There is no food to eat at this time, so I have to clean it up and I will make steamed buns in the afternoon. "

"Okay, let's go now." The wife ordered, so it must be done.

So Sheng Liancheng rolled his luggage into the house, threw it on the kang, turned around and walked out.

Sheng Xiping took his luggage to the west room. As soon as he entered the room, he found Huahua lying on the ground, and the children Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were playing around Huahua.

"Hey, Huahua is at home? I thought it went back to the mountain and never came back." Sheng Xiping was quite surprised to see Huahua.

"Oh, now he comes home every four or five days to stay for two or three days. Sometimes he even brings food home. Didn't you notice? This guy has made himself fat."

Zhang Shuzhen was sitting on the bench and was about to light the fire, so she said casually.

Sheng Xiping also noticed that Huahua seemed to be fatter than during the New Year days.

No, how can a tiger get so fat?

Sheng Xiping felt strange, squatted down, reached out and touched Huahua's more obvious belly.

No, this tiger is not fat, it seems to be full of food.

"Mom, Huahua isn't fat. She seems to have a baby."

"Huh?" Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Liancheng said in surprise at the same time. "You have a baby?"

While talking, they both entered the west room and stared at the big cat lazing on the ground.

"Well, Huahua is a tigress. She is four years old this year. It is supposed to be in heat during the winter. Judging from the way she looks now, she should be back to raise her fetus."

Sheng Xiping rubbed Huahua's big head in a funny way. This guy was really going to become a sperm. He even knew he would go back to his parents' home to raise a baby when he got pregnant.

"Oh, it turns out that Huahua has a baby.

Then Xinhua Xinyu and the others must be more careful in the future, not to rub Huahua all the time, but also not to hurt the baby in its belly. "

Zhang Shuzhen was particularly happy when she heard this.

Huahua grew up in the Sheng family, just like Erlang Shen and Hei General. The Sheng family never treated them as animals, but treated them like family members.

It was fine if I didn't know before, but now that I know that Huahua has a baby, I must pay attention to it.

"When will the flowers bloom?" Sheng Liancheng asked beside him.

"Maybe May or June? It seems that tigers are less than four months pregnant."

Sheng Xiping didn't know the specific time, but he had heard from his wife before that most tigers give birth to cubs in June.

"I don't know how many cubs Huahua has in her belly. Oh, do I have to make arrangements in advance? I need to make a nest for the cubs."

Sheng Liancheng became happy and began to think about how to settle Huahua mother and son.

Since Huahua was able to come back to raise the baby, she probably planned to leave the Sheng family to raise the cub. She really had to prepare in advance to avoid having the cub born without a place to live.

Sheng Xiping shook his head, "I don't know how many there are. Usually, there don't seem to be many tigers in the wild, just one or two."

The conditions in the wild are difficult. Even if a tigress has multiple cubs left, only one or two will be able to be raised.

Unlike in zoos, some can give birth to three or four babies in one litter, and they can all be kept alive with the help of keepers.

"Oh, that's okay. Tomorrow I'll go up the mountain and cut some willow slivers and weave a larger flower basket for Huahua to raise her children." Sheng Liancheng nodded, knowing what he was doing.

The two of them wondered about Huahua for a while, then quickly went down to the vegetable cellar.

The vegetable cellar is quite deep and the temperature inside is quite low. The cabbage, radish and potatoes placed in it are all quite fresh.

Of course, when the season comes, the radishes will inevitably become a little grittier, and the potatoes will begin to sprout.

The two men gathered together all the remaining vegetables in the vegetable cellar. According to Zhang Shuzhen's instructions, they peeled off several layers of cabbage and left the good ones alone for the time being. They put the vegetables into a basket and carried them up.

After working in the vegetable cellar, it was already getting late. The two men thought about it and decided to take a shower in the afternoon.

Sheng Xiping returned to the west room and wanted to rest for a while, but he saw a letter on the desk.

I looked at the postmark and saw that it had just been mailed a few days ago. The address seemed familiar, but I couldn't remember who it was.

The letter was not opened, probably because the family members had not moved it. Sheng Xiping quickly tore open one end and took out the letter inside.

"Mom, I'm going out for a while. I have something to do."

After reading the content of the letter, Sheng Xiping hurriedly ran out of the house and went straight to Zheng Xianyong's house.

Zheng Xianyong had just returned home from get off work and was sitting on the edge of the kang smoking a cigarette. When he saw Sheng Xiping come in, he was quite puzzled.

"Xiping, why don't you come here at noon?"

"Uncle, I have something to discuss with you." Sheng Xiping sat down next to Zheng Xianyong.

“I have a friend from the south whom I met last year when I accompanied Wei Min to Shanghai to install prosthetic limbs.

He worked in a furniture factory, and his factory wanted to import some wood from the northeast, so he wrote to me asking if there was any way.How much unplanned wood does our farm have this year? "The letter just now was written by a man named Hou from the south.

At that time, Hou Yashuang was staying in a hotel in Shanghai, sharing a room with Sheng Xiping and Chen Weimin. He also accompanied his colleagues to install prosthetic limbs.

We have lived together for more than a month. When we have nothing to do, we all get together to chat, occasionally cook some good food, and even have a couple of drinks. After going back and forth, we become familiar with each other.

Hou Yashuang is the head of a furniture factory in the south. Their furniture factory used to purchase products from higher-level timber companies, and the prices were relatively high.

People in the south are very narrow-minded, and now the policies are also loosening. They just want to get some cheap wood but can't find a way. Hou Yashuang suddenly thought of Sheng Xiping.

Before Sheng Xiping left the Shanghai stock market, he exchanged contact information with these people who got along well with him.

Hou Yashuang found out Sheng Xiping's address and wrote him a letter asking if he could get wood.

Sheng Xiping is familiar with this business, he has done it in his previous life.So after getting the letter, Sheng Xiping came to see Zheng Xianyong.

Every forestry bureau and forest farm has unplanned timber, more or less. This timber is not subject to unified allocation and is subject to local discretion.

Of course, it is also very difficult to obtain unplanned indicators. Without a strong enough relationship, it is impossible.

"We have a few unplanned things. How many does your friend want?"

Zheng Xianyong pondered for a moment and did not say how much it was. Instead, he asked Sheng Xiping's friend how much he planned to ask for.

"The other end said there were at least five carriages. If there were any, ten or eight would not be too many."

One wagon can hold about fifty cubic meters. If there are five wagons, that's 250 cubic meters.

Zheng Xianyong was silent for a while, "Normally, we have been in an old relationship for many years. If you reply, my uncle will do anything for you.

If this is wood from all directions, my uncle won't say anything. It doesn't matter if it's money or not, I'll give it to you.

But the quantity he wanted was a bit large. To transport it downstream, we had to pass through the lumber yard, which was crowded and confusing.

What I mean is that you'd better find someone from the bureau to bring the indicators to our site, so that the procedures can be easier to follow. "

Zheng Xianyong is a cautious person. He is still the acting secretary of the forest farm. At this critical moment, he does not want to make any big mistakes.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he knew that something was going on. He was familiar with the situation.

Zhao Guangning went to work as the director of the Timber Management Department a few years ago. He didn't need to ask anyone else for this matter, he just went to Zhao Guangning.

"Sure, with what uncle said, I know what to do. I'll go to Songjiang River to find someone later.

Uncle, I'll go home first. "When dealing with people who understand, there is no need to speak too clearly.

As soon as Zheng Xianyong said this, Sheng Xiping knew what to do, so he stood up and left.

"Oh, it's already noon, and your aunt is cooking. Let's stay and have something to eat. We just happen to be chatting." Zheng Xianyong stood up and persuaded her.

"No, uncle, my mother is still waiting at home. Look at what I have done. After dinner, I will take a shower and tidy up in the afternoon."

Sheng Xiping waved his hand, walked out of Zheng's house, and returned to his home.

When they got home, Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei and Sheng Xitai had already returned from school. Sheng Xitai was sitting in the west room watching flowers, and the two sisters helped clean up the meal.

"Brother, our mother said that Huahua is already raising a cub, and she will give birth to tiger cubs in two months. Is this true?"

Sheng Xitai was very happy when he learned that Huahua had a baby. When he saw Sheng Xiping coming in, he asked hurriedly.

"Well, haven't you seen that Huahua's belly is bigger than before? She must be pregnant with a baby.

You have to be careful in the future, don’t rub Huahua’s belly. "Sheng Xiping nodded and gave his brother a few more instructions.

"Wow, that's great. Then do we have another tiger cub to raise?" Sheng Xitai almost jumped up with joy.

Although Huahua is good, he is a big tiger after all. How can a cute little tiger cub attract people's attention?

For children, they would rather have a little tiger to play with.

"There are flowers here. You shouldn't need to raise them. You'd better study hard." Sheng Xiping deliberately poured cold water on her.

When Sheng Xitai heard this, his face suddenly fell, "Brother, you will hit me."

Just at this time, Zhang Shuzhen shouted in the outer room that it was time to eat. Sheng Xiping didn't care about his younger brother's aggrieved look. He picked up the two children from his family and hurried to wash his hands and eat.

After taking a break for lunch, Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping took a change of clothes and went straight to the bathhouse.

First go to the hairdresser for a buzz cut, then go to the bathhouse for a soak and a rub, and then go home clean and tidy from head to toe.

The next morning, Sheng Xiping took a truck transporting wood from the forest farm to Songjiang River.

When we arrived at Songjiang River, we first went to see my father-in-law, chatted with him for a while, and then went directly to Zhao Guangning.

"Hey, your winter transportation production is over? I heard that you are now scheduling production?
Okay, that’s pretty cool. We’ve only been recruiting workers for a few years, and they’re already working as a dispatcher? Zhao Guangning said with a smile as soon as he saw Sheng Xiping.

"I also heard that in the last two months of the new year, your production not only increased, but also produced more than last year?
Your field secretary sent a report to the top, and also reported you as an advanced individual and model worker.

The bureau is still discussing whether to promote your assembly line production method. "

"Hey, what about production scheduling? I'm just a handyman. If anything happens, just call me.

Mainly because of the good leadership of our secretary and the unity of the whole team, we can achieve this output. "Sheng Xiping scratched his head and chuckled.

"Tch, I'm being modest here." Zhao Guangning shook his head in disapproval.

"Be confident, we have this ability.

You are too humble. Others may not necessarily praise you, but they may say that you are vain and difficult to get along with. "As he said that, Zhao Guangning started laughing.

"What, brother, I came to see you today because I have something to do." Sheng Xiping looked at no one in the office and then whispered.

"Are you free at noon? Let's go out for a drink?"

It's not easy to talk about this at work. After all, walls have ears. What if others hear it and mess up the matter?

"Okay, let's have a drink."

Zhao Guangning glanced at his watch. It wasn't long before he got off work, so he simply got up and followed Sheng Xiping out.

The two of them left the bureau building and went to the Forestry Bureau hotel. They found a seat in the corner, ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine. The two brothers sat there drinking and chatting.

"Well, I thought it was such a big deal, isn't it just an unplanned indicator?
If others don’t, why don’t you ask?Don't worry, I'll take care of this. "After Zhao Guangning heard Sheng Xiping's words, he immediately laughed.

"Don't talk about ten or eight cars. If you bring more, I will help you get it. If you don't have it, I will buy it for you from somewhere else."

"Oh, thank you, brother. I was quite unsure before I came here. I was afraid that this matter would be difficult to handle." Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping quickly poured wine for Zhao Guangning.

In this day and age, all kinds of industrial raw materials, regardless of whether they are steel, coal, or wood, are in short supply.

How many old timber customers in the south have money but can't figure out how to get things done, and even if they have money, they don't know where to send it.

Not to mention other places, the few hotels in Songjiang River are now home to many old guests from the south. They are all eager to catch ants in the hot pot, but they can't find a way to buy wood.

"It's nothing difficult. You can send a telegram to your friend soon and ask him to come over with the money.

The first thing I need to explain to him is that we must pay first and then ship the goods. We have no precedent of shipping first and then collecting payment. "

Zhao Guangning picked up the wine glass, touched it with Sheng Xiping, and warned him.

In this way, the two brothers exchanged glasses and drank a lot of wine.

After lunch, Zhao Guangning went back to work in the bureau, and Sheng Xiping went to the post and telecommunications office to send a telegram.Inform the other party and immediately bring enough money to pick up the goods.

Sheng Xiping didn't delay much in Songjianghe. After sending the telegram, he immediately returned to the Forest Railway and took the forest farm's wood truck to go home.

The winter transportation production of all forest farms has been completed, and the output has been reported to the bureau. The production plan set before the year has basically been completed.

Maekuan Forest Farm’s timber harvest volume this year still exceeded that of other forest farms, and it once again won the title of Advanced Production Unit.

On Labor Day, Zheng Xianyong took several people from the forest farm to the bureau for a commendation meeting.

Sheng Xiping was selected as an advanced worker and model worker. Secretary Zhao personally gave him a red flower when he came to the stage, and presented him with certificates and prizes.

At the same time, the leaders of the bureau also announced the appointment letter. Zheng Xianyong officially took over as secretary of the Qianchuan Forestry Farm, Zhao Limin was appointed as the farm director, and Sun Hanwu was appointed as the deputy farm director and production farm director.

As a result, the leadership team of Maekuan Forestry Farm are all people from the field, and there will not be any big changes within at least three to five years.

After the commendation meeting, everyone had a meal together in the bureau canteen, which was considered a celebration banquet.

While eating, Zhao Yongsheng specially called Sheng Xiping over and praised him.

"Xiping, you did a good job, young people, you have to pursue something.

You work hard and strive to achieve some results. We have to act like a man, right?
Look, now that your wife is going to college, you have to make progress yourself and not fall too far behind. "

When Zhao Yongsheng said this, he did not treat Sheng Xiping as an outsider. Sheng Xiping understood in his heart, so he nodded with a smile.

"Hey, I remember everything Secretary Zhao said. I will definitely work harder to move closer to the organization. Work diligently and live up to the expectations of the leaders on the field and in the bureau."

Just two days after the commendation meeting, Sheng Xiping received a call from Hou Yashuang, saying that he had arrived at Songjiang River and was staying at the Zhanqian Hotel.

Sheng Xiping hurriedly asked for leave from the farm, and took a ride to the Songjiang River from the forest farm. When he came to Zhanqian Street, he met Hou Yashuang and the director of their factory.

"Oh, hello, Comrade Sheng. I've heard Xiao Hou mention you many times. It's our first time meeting you. Please take good care of me."

When the other party saw Sheng Xiping, he was particularly enthusiastic and held Sheng Xiping's hand with both hands.

"Hello, Director Zhang, I'm very happy to meet you."

Sheng Xiping couldn't be cold-faced because he was so enthusiastic, so he smiled and talked to him.

"Thank you, Director Zhang, for your trust and coming all the way here. Let's do this. I'll be the host and treat you two to dinner tonight."
