Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 407 Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang

Chen Weiguo and others worked together, cutting off the bear's paws, peeling off the skin, and then chopped the meat open with an axe.

The Sheng family split half of it, and the rest among them.

Sheng Liancheng wanted to give them more, but several people refused to ask for more.

"Uncle, it's embarrassing enough that we follow Xiping to pick up ready-made items every time.

Just a little bit is fine, I just don’t have any meat at home lately. "The big guy laughed.

After dividing the meat, several people took the meat home without delay.The Sheng family also packed up the food and prepared to eat.

Sheng Xiping accompanied Huahua and waited at the edge of the forest until around 06:30.

At this time, every household was eating, and no one was outside.

So Sheng Xiping hugged the tiger cub, followed by Huahua. One person and one tiger quietly slipped into the forest farm and returned to Sheng's home.

In the east room, everyone was eating. When they heard something moving, Sheng Xitai came out to take a look.

"Oh, brother, what are you holding?" Sheng Xitai's sharp eyes saw what was in Sheng Xiping's arms and asked hurriedly.

"Huahua's children, two tiger cubs." Sheng Xiping explained and looked back at Huahua very warily.

He was worried that Huahua would get angry again, but Huahua didn't even care. He walked straight to the west room and lay down on the ground with a square step.

As expected, Huahua was completely at ease with the Sheng family.

"Wow, such a small tiger cub is just like a cat. It's so fun."

Sheng Xitai's eyes widened suddenly, and he stretched his head curiously to take a look, and saw two furry little guys sleeping with their eyes closed.

When Sheng Xitai shouted, the Sheng family members who were eating in the east room all put down their chopsticks and ran out to watch the fun.

"Oh, such a small tiger cub. With such a big body, how can you have two such small cubs?" Sheng Liancheng took a look and said with a smile.

"Dad, wild animal cubs are not very big when they are born. If you look at them after a while, they will grow very fast."

In fact, the two tiger cubs are not too small, almost the same as ordinary cats, but compared to the tiger's physique, the tiger cubs appear petite.

"Dad, didn't you make a nest for Huahua? Take the West Room.

Huahua was injured and had to stay at home to recuperate and undergo confinement. "Sheng Xiping reminded his father.

"Oh, yes, yes, just wait, I'll get it right now."

Sheng Liancheng didn't care about eating anymore and hurriedly took the big flower basket into the house, then spread a layer of hay and a layer of sacks under the flower basket.

"Huahua, this is your nest."

As soon as Sheng Liancheng finished laying the nest, Huahua jumped into the flower basket and lay down.

Sheng Xiping also put the two tiger cubs under Huahua's belly and let the tiger cubs find milk on their own.

"Brother, are these two tiger cubs male or female? Have you named them yet?"

Sheng Yunfei looked at the two tiger cubs struggling to find milk and couldn't help but asked curiously.

"They should be brother and sister, or two, what? Are you going to name the tiger cub again?" Sheng Xiping asked with a smile.

"Well, well, then we have to name them. Otherwise, how will we call them in the future?"

Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei, and Sheng Xitai responded in unison.

"Whatever, you three can just discuss it among yourselves. I don't care about this."

Sheng Xiping shrugged, got up and went to wash his hands and eat.Let's leave the nerve-wracking thing of naming it to my younger siblings.

Sure enough, I heard the three siblings arguing in the west room.

One said it was called Xiaohua, the other said it was no good.That one said it was called Huzi, and this one said it was originally a tiger, so why should you call it Huzi?

"Okay, okay, you go back to eat first, and think about it later after you finish eating."

Zhang Shuzhen dragged Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu, who were watching the show with curious expressions, away for dinner, and greeted her daughter and son by the way.

The three siblings went back to the east room to eat, and they were noisy while eating.

Until they finished their meal, there was no result yet on naming the two tiger cubs.

Finally, it was Sheng Liancheng who coughed and spoke.

"Yes, let me tell you, one is called Jiaojiao and the other is called Zhuangzhuang. They are much better than those names you gave them."

As soon as these words came out, the three siblings were stunned for a moment, "Jiaojiao? Zhuangzhuang? Hey, this is a good name."

Indeed, it is much better than the flowers they came up with.

"Okay, then just listen to dad. One of the two tiger cubs is called Jiaojiao and the other is Zhuangzhuang." At this point, Huahua's two cubs finally had names.

After eating, the children all went to the west room to see the tiger cubs.

Sheng Xiping specifically told them to see if they could, but no one was allowed to reach out and hug her.

Huahua has just given birth to a calf, and when she is most protective of the calf, one of her babies might annoy Huahua, and she might bite someone if she doesn't make a fuss.

The older ones like Sheng Xitai were fine, and they could be remembered after being told once, but Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were too young, so Sheng Xiping was worried and could only follow them.

Seeing that the two children were about to reach out, they quickly stopped them. If they refused to listen, they simply gave them a pause. After two attempts, the two younger ones stopped reaching out.

Huahua, who returned to Sheng's house, obviously let down her guard, was lazy and casual, lay down in the big flower basket prepared by Sheng Liancheng, closed her eyes and fell asleep, not caring about anything.

The two tiger cubs were obviously full, lying under their mother's belly and sleeping soundly.

"When are you still looking at tiger cubs? Hurry up and pack up and go to bed.

Huahua is injured and has to recuperate at home recently. You can watch it anytime you want.

Fourth and fifth, you two should go to bed early. It’s time for the high school entrance examination in a few days.

Things are different now. If you fail to pass the unified entrance examination, you two will be in great disgrace. "

Sheng Xiping has been busy pouring wood and picking up things recently, and has not been able to take care of his two younger sisters' studies.

Of course, this course is now difficult, and even if he wanted to take care of it, he probably wouldn't be able to.So I can only remind you a little bit and let the two girls pay attention.

"I know, brother, don't worry, we will definitely be admitted to high school." The two girls said in unison.

It was late, and Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were already rubbing their eyes.

So Sheng Xi spread the quilt, asked the two children to wash their feet and brush their teeth, and then led them into bed to sleep.

Huahua has to take care of two tiger cubs, but this time they won't be on the kang. The two children don't care about that, as long as they can be in the same room with Huahua.

At night, Sheng Xiping took his two sons to sleep on the kang, and Huahua took the two tiger cubs to sleep in a big flower basket. They didn't interfere with each other, which was quite harmonious.

Huahua was injured and couldn't go hunting for a while, so she could only recuperate at the Sheng family.

Fortunately, there was a lot of blind bear left behind, and if you put it in cold water and pull it out, it could last for at least two days.

After that, Sheng Xiping was rarely allowed to go into the mountains, either to set traps or to lead dogs to track prey.

Try to get some food for Huahua so that she can recuperate and confine herself in peace.

The resilience of wild animals is amazing. Under the care of the Sheng family, Huahua's injuries are recovering at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As for the two tiger cubs, they looked the same every day. After a few days, the little tiger cubs opened their eyes, and they were very cute as they shook their heads.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu did nothing every day. They just squatted in front of the flower basket and looked at the two tiger cubs with great curiosity.

Fortunately, these two children still had good memories. After being beaten twice by Sheng Xiping, neither of them reached out to catch the tiger cub, but just sat there and watched.

On June 25, sisters Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, together with their school teachers and classmates, took a bus to Songjianghe No. [-] Middle School to take the high school entrance examination.

The school arranged for Tongyi to live in a hotel, so he didn't stay at Zhou's house.

However, after Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Mingyuan found out, they bought a lot of things and went to the hotel to see the two sisters.

After two days of exams, both sisters felt that they had done well, so they happily took the car home.

From here on, the two girls will have a vacation, waiting for their results to come out, and then go to high school in the fall.

Yun Fang and Yun Fei are on vacation. With two more helpers at home, Zhang Shuzhen can relax.

After Huahua's injury is almost healed, Sheng Xiping won't need to come back from hunting to feed it.

During the day, she stays at home with the tiger cubs Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang. When it gets dark at night, Huahua runs out to find food by herself.

Basically, around two o'clock in the middle of the night, I either come back with something in my mouth, or I come back with a bulging stomach. Anyway, I don't leave empty every day.

This season is a good time to dig Gastrodia elata and pick Ganoderma lucidum.

Since Sheng Xiping no longer needs to hunt and feed tigers, when the farm is not busy, Mr. Sheng Liancheng and his wife often go into the mountains to dig gastrodia elata, and occasionally tend to their two acres of land.

Anyway, my life is busy and fulfilling, which is quite interesting.

In the blink of an eye, the annual college entrance examination has begun again.

This year Sheng Xiping's brother-in-law, Zhou Qingyue, will take the college entrance examination.

After the college entrance examination was over, Sheng Xiping took some time to call his father-in-law to ask about Zhou Qingyue's examination situation.

"Dad, has Qingyue finished the exam? How was the exam? Did their teacher help estimate the score?"

"It seemed like he had passed the exam. I looked at that brat coming back, looking listless.

Alas, don’t you know Qingyue’s virtues?He doesn't study as hard as Xi'an and Xikang. "

On the other end of the phone, Zhou Mingyuan sighed.

"Let's listen to the results after a while. If you can pass the exam, no matter which school you go to, you have to go to school.

If he fails the exam, he can just repeat the exam for one year. Otherwise, let him join the army. "

Speaking of being a soldier, Sheng Xiping thought of his brother-in-law in the southwest and was busy asking for news about Zhou Qingyang. "Dad, is there any news about my elder brother?"

"Oh, I received news a few days ago, saying that he was injured a little while on some mission, but he has recovered now.

He said he would take a leave for a while and come back to hold a happy event. "

Mentioning the boss, Zhou Mingyuan's tone also sounded a little sad.I always feel like the boss is hiding something from the family, reporting good news but not bad news.

But being so far away, the two of them were busy with work and couldn't go see it in person, so they could only keep their worries in their hearts.After all, it's your work phone number, so you can't keep chatting.

The two men chatted for a while on the phone, and Sheng Xiping said that if Zhou Qingyue had nothing to do at home and was bored, he could come to Maekuan to play.

Anyway, the college entrance examination is over and the results have not been released yet, so relax and unwind.

Zhou Mingyuan agreed, saying that he would go home and talk to Zhou Qingyue, and just like that, he hung up the phone.

Sheng Xiping hung up the phone and came out of the field department. He happened to meet Li Zhenggang and the others, so he chatted with a few people from the security department at the entrance of the field department.

While they were talking, Zheng Xianyong came out of the office and happened to see Sheng Xiping.

"Xiping, you happen to be here, run some errands for your uncle and go to school to find Wei Min.

The poem he submitted to our provincial magazine won an award.

The leaders of our provincial department knew about this and specially called to pay attention. Please ask Weimin to come quickly. This is a great thing. "

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping ran away without saying a word, all the way to Qianchuan Primary and Secondary School, and went straight to Principal Wang's office.

"Uncle Wang, in which class is Weimin invigilating the exam? Secretary Zheng asked me to come to him for something good."

"It's the first day of the fifth year. Why, do you have something to do with him?"

Wang Junsheng was stunned for a moment when he saw Sheng Xiping, wondering why Sheng Xiping came to school suddenly.

"The poem Weimin submitted won an award in our province. Just now Secretary Zheng asked me to come over to him and asked Weimin to go to the field office quickly." Sheng Xiping quickly explained.

"Hey, this is amazing, Wei Min won the award.

Well, I'll go with you. The school teachers are invigilating the exam, and there's no one to do it for him.

I went over to stand in for him for a while and asked him to go to the field department quickly. "

When Wang Junsheng heard this, he was overjoyed. He hurriedly came out of the office with Sheng Xiping and went straight to Class Five.

At the end of Class Five, the Chinese exam was being taken. Chen Weimin was walking back and forth in the examination room, watching the children answer their papers.

Suddenly, footsteps were heard, and then Principal Wang and Sheng Xiping came in.

"Principal Wang, Brother Xiping, are you okay?" Chen Weimin asked.

"Teacher Chen, Secretary Zheng asked you to come over. I'll help you look over here first. You can go and have a look." Principal Wang said to Chen Weimin with a smile.

Chen Weimin was stunned. He didn't know why Secretary Zheng was looking for him, and he even alerted the principal to come looking for him.

"Oh, okay, I'll go over there and take a look, and I'll be back in a while."

Chen Weimin nodded and followed Sheng Xiping out of the classroom and towards the field. "Brother Xiping, do you know what Secretary Zheng wants from me?"

"I just heard someone say that the poem you submitted won an award in the province.

The leaders of the provincial department called to pay attention to this matter. They probably asked you to come over and find out about your situation.

It's okay, just say it when the time comes, don't have any scruples. "Sheng Xiping smiled and patted Chen Weimin on the shoulder.

When Sheng Xiping said this, Chen Weimin felt a little unsure.

The two came to the field department all the way. Zheng Xianyong met Chen Weimin. He encouraged him happily and then dragged Chen Weimin to the office.

"When your leader asks you something later, just say directly that this is a good opportunity. If you get it right, you may become a regular worker."

Zheng Xianyong gave Chen Weimin a few words and then dialed the provincial number.

After the call was connected, the person in charge of the provincial department answered the phone. After Zheng Xianyong chatted with the other party for a few words, he gave the phone to Chen Weimin.

Chen Weimin felt anxious and answered some questions honestly.

When the other party asked which department Chen Weimin worked in, Chen Weimin said that he was a temporary worker, a substitute teacher in the school, and occasionally went to the labor union to help.

The people on the other side were stunned, and they made a fuss together for a long time. This talented man who won the award was not even a formal worker.

So he asked about the situation in detail, and Chen Weimin talked about how when he was a child, his leg and one hand were broken when a train ran over him, and he was disabled and unable to recruit workers.

"Comrade Chen Weimin, I have learned about your situation, and I will report it to the leader immediately.

I hope you will continue your efforts, write more and better works, and tell more people about the lives of our forestry frontline workers.

In other respects, if Comrade Chen has any requests, feel free to mention them. "That's what the other party said on the phone.

"Thank you for the concern of the leaders. I am fine now. Our field leaders take good care of me, and I get along well with the students.

I will definitely not disappoint the expectations of my leaders, create with peace of mind, and write more stories about our forest area. "

Chen Weimin did not make any demands. He only expressed his gratitude to the leaders for their concern. At the same time, he also expressed his intention and willingness to continue working hard to create.

The person on the other end of the phone was quite surprised, thinking that Chen Weimin could take the opportunity to ask for a permanent job.

"Comrade Chen is a good comrade. Okay, that's it. I will try my best to report your situation to the superiors. You have given our forestry system face this time and should be rewarded."

The other party was very satisfied with Chen Weimin's attitude and said a few more words to Chen Weimin before hanging up the phone.

"Oh, you kid, why didn't you just say that you wanted to get a regular job? You missed such a good opportunity in vain."

When Chen Weimin hung up the phone, Zheng Xianyong said anxiously with a red face.

He had heard the conversation between Chen Weimin and the other end of the phone just now. He really wanted to grab the phone and say directly, give the child a place in a formal job.

"Uncle, I just wrote something, but I was lucky enough to win a prize, but I didn't make any achievements. How can I have the nerve to ask the leader?

Besides, I'm pretty good now. I teach painting and music to students on weekdays, and I go over to help out when the union has something to do.

The bureau gave me a subsidy, and the school and the labor union also provided funding for me. I didn't have to worry about my life and could live on.

That's good. It's better not to make things special and embarrass the leaders. "After experiencing so many things, Chen Weimin has also grown up and thinks about things more profoundly.

Zheng Xianyong thought about it, and he was right. It was really not good for Chen Weimin to talk about this matter.

"That's it. I'll discuss it with the bureau later and send you an application to see what the province says."

Zheng Xianyong sincerely thought about Chen Weimin, but it was a pity that his words were so soft and could not have much effect.

Everything depends on people. Regardless of whether it succeeds or not, Zheng Xianyong wants to fight for Chen Weimin again.

"Then thank you, Secretary Zheng." Chen Weimin quickly thanked Zheng Xianyong.

Don't worry about whether things can work out or not, as long as they have the intention, that's enough.

Chen Weimin's poems won awards and his novels were published in magazines, so the bureau naturally learned the news.

Director Yang personally contacted Zheng Xianyong. After checking it out, they both felt that this was a good opportunity, so they jointly applied to their superiors.

After listening to the report about Chen Weimin and reading Chen Weimin's articles and poems, the leaders of the provincial department also began to cherish talents.

So the province specially approved the recruitment of Chen Weimin as a formal worker.

In this way, the document was quickly issued to the Songjiang River Forestry Bureau, and the bureau called Chen Weimin to go through the formalities.

When the Chen family received the news, they were extremely happy. After waiting and hoping for these years, they finally got a good result.

Chen Shiliang accompanied his son to the bureau. When the bureau leaders saw Chen Weimin, they praised him again and encouraged Chen Weimin to let him work and create with peace of mind.

At the same time, the bureau also called the forestry farm and asked the forestry farm to arrange a lighter job for Chen Weimin so that he would not be too tired and could have more time to read and write.

In this way, Chen Weimin was assigned to work as a clerk in the field department.

Any written materials that need to be written on the farm, or speeches to participate in the forest farm's general meeting, or documents submitted to the bureau through the forest farm, etc., are all left to Chen Weimin.

If the trade union has any publicity work, it still comes to Chen Weimin for help as before, publishing blackboards, writing slogans, printing materials, etc. Anyway, the work is not too much.

When you have free time, you can go to the library to read, and then go home and write something in the evening.

Chen Weimin successfully arranged the work, and he was also a specially approved migrant worker in the province, and his treatment was much better than that of large collectives and agricultural and forestry workers.

The Chen family was very happy. For this reason, they even set up a banquet and invited Zheng Xianyong, Zhao Xiangyang, and Sheng Xiping over to have a fun time together.

"For this matter, the one you should thank the most is Xiping. If he hadn't accompanied Minzi to Shanghai to install the prosthesis, where would the temporary worker quota have been?
If there is no quota for temporary workers, Lao Chen, why don't you take your children everywhere to look for them?Running into obstacles everywhere?
Children are always under attack, so how can they have the time to write?

Without the publication of these novels, poems, etc. that won awards, how could there be this quota for all migrant workers? "Zheng Xianyong said at the banquet.

"Yes, yes, we should thank Xiping properly. Without him who has always enlightened and encouraged the people, how would our people be where they are today?" Chen Shiliang nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

"Xiping, come here, I'll toast you, thank you. It's really thanks to you for giving me your ideas and help.

I really don’t know how to thank you. I’ve done this for you. You can do whatever you want. "

Chen Shiliang is a simple and honest man, and he doesn't talk much. When he raised his head, he drank all the wine in his cup.

"Hey, my uncle, why are you drinking so fast?" Sheng Xiping took a look and wondered, is this okay?He raised his neck and drank the wine in his glass.

"Actually, there is really no need to thank me. The main reason is that Wei Min has real talent and knowledge. Gold will always shine, sooner or later."

Compared with his previous life, Chen Weimin became a worker four years earlier. Moreover, in this life he is a migrant worker, unlike in his previous life where he was a large collective. The gap is not small.

Sheng Xiping was naturally happy for his friend, but he felt it would be inappropriate if all the credit was given to him.

Even without his help, Chen Weimin's talent would not be buried, it would just be later.

"Brother, don't be polite. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Well, I'm not very good at drinking. Let's just drink casually."

Chen Weimin also expressed his gratitude to Sheng Xiping and clinked the glasses.

Sheng Xiping took a look and said, "Okay, drink it."Just like that, I had another drink with Chen Weimin and Chen Weiguo.

By the end of the meal, everyone in the room had drunk too much, staggered home one by one, and fell asleep.

On July 26, Sheng Xikang, who was studying abroad, arrived home first.

The next day, Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xi'an also came back. Not surprisingly, they also came back with their children, Chen Feng and Chen Yue.

They were on summer vacation and didn't want to stay in the provincial capital at all.

After finally looking forward to Zhou Qinglan's vacation, the two of them packed their luggage and Dian Dian'er followed them to Qianchuan Forest Farm.

"Wow, Huahua is at home. Oh, is this Huahua's cub? It's so cute, so fluffy and so fun."

Chen Feng and Chen Yue exclaimed happily when they saw Huahua and the two tiger cubs Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang.
