Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 419 New Development Plan
The couple Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie have gone through a lot of twists and turns to get where they are today.

The Chen family also knew that Zhou Qingyang had been seriously injured before, so they specially asked the family not to embarrass Zhou Qingyang too much.

Therefore, the whole process of welcoming the bride was very smooth. Everyone just made a harmless joke and no one went too far.

The wedding team stayed at Chen's house for about an hour, and had some fun eating some food.

Then Chen Jie's brother picked up his sister, who was dressed in red, and took her to the bicycle outside.

Zhou Qingyang pushed the car and Chen Jie sat in the back seat.

The people who sent the bride away from the Chen family carried or carried all the dowry items from the Chen family and put them on the bicycles behind them.

In this way, the group left Chen's house and went straight to the new house on the corner building.

As soon as Zhou Qingyang and the others went out in the morning, the relatives and friends of the Zhou family locked the door of the old house and went straight to the new house on the corner floor.

Guessing that it was almost time, Wang Chunxiu went downstairs early, surrounded by everyone.

Sure enough, the team welcoming the bride came bustling with excitement, and firecrackers were quickly lit at the end.

Zhou Qingyang pushed Chen Jie to the front, set up the car, and then helped Chen Jie down.

Chen Jie held the red enamel basin wrapped in red cloth in her arms and handed it to Wang Chunxiu.

Then he took out the red flowers from the basin, put them on Wang Chunxiu's head, and called her "Mom" affectionately.

"Hey, hey." Wang Chunxiu happily agreed, then took out a red envelope and gave it to his wife.

Then, surrounded by everyone, the bride and groom went up to their new house on the third floor.

This building is not far from Zhao Yongning's home, and the floors are not high, only the fourth floor at most.

The new house is on the third floor and is not too big, about fifty square meters.

This house has been unoccupied since it was packed up. Until last night, Zhou Qingyue and his cousin lived in a new house, which is called a kang.

The set of furniture for the new house was drawn by Sheng Xiping based on the style of "Shanghai" brand furniture.

Zhou Mingyuan found someone who wanted good wood, found the best carpenter, and spent half a year making it.

In the master bedroom, a complete set of modular furniture was not painted. Instead, a soldering iron was used to create landscape paintings on the natural furniture, and then two layers of clear oil were applied.

Needless to say, the landscape painting is naturally the work of Chen Weimin, and the painting is really good.

The edges of several cupboard doors were cut into diamond-shaped pieces with prickly bud sticks and pasted with a circle of lace, making the furniture even more elegant.

This kind of furniture is the first in the area. Many people were not used to it at first and felt that wedding furniture was so plain and unattractive.

But as I looked at it for a long time, it became more and more pleasing to my eyes.

Furniture made of natural wood will never go out of style no matter how old it is, and it will not look old.

It's not like the one painted with red paint, which will look gray and dull over time.

It's said to be a building, but actually it's the kind of place where you can light a fire to keep warm.

There is a small boiler at the end of the kitchen, which is connected to the kang of the small room in the north. In the master bedroom facing the sun in the south, several sets of radiators are installed, so a bed is set up.

There were two quilts on the bed. Under the quilts were dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other things, as well as an ax wrapped in red paper.

The people who sent the bride off from the Chen family went upstairs first and put the four bunks that the Chen family had given them, half of them on the bed and the other half in the cupboard.

Then several girls hung up the curtains, and one of Chen Jie's cousins ​​turned on the lamp.

The newcomer entered the room, and under the guidance of others, Chen Jie stepped on the turning head wrapped in red paper beside the bed and sat on the bed.

Zhou Qingyang also followed and sat on the bed, which was a blessing for the newlyweds.

At this time, someone carried Sheng Xinyu to the bed and asked Sheng Xinyu to roll back and forth on the bed. This is called rolling on the bed or rolling on the bed.

Usually it is done by the little boy on the man's side, which means that he will have a child early.

Sheng Xinyu was quarreled very early today, and by now he was a little sleepy and a little restless.

However, when he saw the red envelope in his aunt's hand, the little guy immediately opened his eyes and rolled around on the bed several times.

While rolling on the bed, this kid muttered something.

"Rolling on the bed, rolling on the bed, the house is full of children and grandchildren, the first one has a son, and the next one has a daughter.

This bed is well made, and the couple will love each other until they grow old.The bed was made wide and filled with mountains of gold and silver. "

As he said that, the little guy went over and shook the pillow twice, "I shake the pillow, and I will have all the glory and wealth."

Then, the little guy lifted the quilt twice more and said, "I will wrap myself up in the quilt and my life will be more prosperous."

When this trick came down, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

You know, Sheng Xinyu is actually four years old, but is actually less than two and a half years old.

It is really not easy for such a little kid to be able to remember such a long list of words and express them completely without making any mistakes.

"Oh my God, who taught you this? Xiaojie, give the child a red envelope quickly, give one more.

It's incredible that such a small person can talk in one way or another.Listen to what he said, how good it is, it is so rare. "

When Chen Jie's aunt and aunt saw it, they were so happy that they didn't know what to do and hurriedly asked Chen Jie to give more red envelopes.

Chen Jie had a red envelope in her hand. At this time, she quickly asked the person next to her to ask for two more and gave them all to Sheng Xinyu.

"Xinyu, be good, these red envelopes are all yours, hold them carefully and don't lose them."

Sheng Xinyu was not polite, stretched out his fleshy little hand, took the red envelope, and held it tightly in his arms.

"Thank you, auntie." This kid didn't know how he got enlightened today, and his mouth was so sweet.

Xiao Xinyu's performance made the whole room laugh.

"When did you teach him this trick? Why don't I remember it?" Sheng Xiping stood next to Zhou Qinglan and asked softly.

"I didn't teach you, did my mother teach you?" Zhou Qinglan shook her head, how could she know this?

Thinking about it, it was probably the mother-in-law who knew that Xinyu was going to roll on the bed, so she specially taught the child how to do it.

"Our mother is so good, so talented." Sheng Xiping couldn't hold it back and shook his head with a smile.

While the two were muttering here, someone on the other end brought a bowl of dumplings over and asked Zhou Qingyang to feed Chen Jie.

Chen Jie didn't know what was going on and thought they were specially prepared dumplings for fear that she would be hungry, so she opened her mouth and took a bite.

After taking a bite, I discovered that the dumplings were not cooked at all, the inside of the dumpling skin was still white, not to mention the fillings, and the vegetables and meat were all raw.

"Raw?" Chen Jie said subconsciously.

Everyone in the room suddenly laughed, "Did you hear that? The bride said she was pregnant."

At this time, Chen Jie finally understood what it meant, and suddenly red clouds flew on her face, and she was so embarrassed that she didn't know how to get over it.

After that, a group of young people started making noise again, asking the groom to kiss the bride. Chen Jie's face was already extremely red, and Zhou Qingyang's face was not much better either.

But the two of them couldn't resist the group of young men who were making noises, so Zhou Qingyang came over and kissed Chen Jie on the face.

These people refused to give up and had to let the two of them kiss.

Several older people from the Zhou family saw that it was not okay to make such a fuss, so they quickly came out to smooth things over.

"Okay, okay, I see it's getting late, we should pack up and get ready for dinner. Come on, let's go to the agency canteen together."

When someone made such a deal, the young people couldn't make a fuss, so everyone came out of the new house and went downstairs.

Zhou Qingyang still pushed Chen Jie on his bicycle, and the others walked straight to the bureau canteen.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife have been in Songjianghe for many years. They both have jobs and have made many friends.

Now that Zhou's eldest son is getting married, there are naturally many guests coming to congratulate him.

The Zhou family's old house and the new house on the corner floor are not too big and cannot accommodate too many people at all, so those who greet and see off the bride are close relatives and friends, and most of the others go to the office canteen where the banquet is held.

Therefore, when the wedding team just left the Zhou family, Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu split into two groups.

Wang Chunxiu was the mother-in-law and wanted to pick up her daughter-in-law, so she took some people to the new house.

Zhou Mingyuan, along with Da Zhangluo, the wedding officiant and others, rushed to the agency canteen to prepare for the congratulatory relatives and friends.

"In-laws, congratulations." As soon as Sheng Liancheng saw Zhou Mingyuan, he hurriedly came forward to say congratulations.

The Sheng and Zhou families are in-laws, so the Sheng family should come over early to help, but the Zhou family's wedding banquet is not held at home, and the Zhou family's place is not big, there are few houses, and there is no place to live.

So Sheng Liancheng had discussed it with Sheng Xiping and his wife a long time ago, and Sheng Xiping and his wife came in the third grade of junior high school to help with the work.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Liancheng and his wife came down by car with Zheng Xianyong and others, so that they would not be disrespectful and would not embarrass the Zhou family too much.

"Oh, my parents-in-law and my mother-in-law are here? You see, it's so far away, and you are still asked to make a trip.

Take a look at the girls and boys in your family. They are so good-looking. They are really rare.

Come on, sit inside, sit inside, this is your family, no one is welcome. "

Zhou Mingyuan was very happy to see Sheng Liancheng's family and hurriedly asked them to sit down in the dining hall.

"In-laws, you are busy with your business, don't worry about us.

If you need help with any work, just call Xi'an and the others. This is our own business, so don't be polite. "

There were many guests. Zhou Mingyuan had just spoken a few words with Sheng Liancheng and the others when other forest farm officials arrived.

When Sheng Liancheng saw this, he quickly told Zhou Mingyuan to go and greet the guests.

"Okay, in-laws, you guys sit down first. There are melon seeds, candies and other things on the table, so you're welcome."

Zhou Mingyuan wanted to chat with Sheng Liancheng for a while, but the guest on the other end couldn't be ignored, so he had no choice but to leave and go greet others.

The agency canteen is not small, and guests are arriving one after another, each finding a place to sit down.Those who knew each other would get together and chat.At around ten o'clock, the newlyweds and everyone attending the ceremony arrived at the office cafeteria.

The firecrackers that had been hung outside were lit, and the newlyweds in the house began the wedding ceremony process under the guidance of the host.

The officiant invited Zhao Yongsheng, and the witness invited the leader of the Armed Forces Department.

Under the witness and blessings of the full hall of guests, Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie exchanged wedding gifts, thanked their parents, relatives and friends, and officially became husband and wife.

At around eleven o'clock, the banquet started. The canteen staff and the young helpers served the dishes on square plates.

The Zhou family ordered a big fat pig in advance in Donggang and caught it and killed it yesterday. Together with various chickens, fish, meat, eggs, etc. that were ordered from other places years ago, the dishes are very rich.

The master chef in the canteen is very good at his craftsmanship. The food he makes is delicious and delicious. As soon as it is served, he is praised by everyone.

Braised pork, soft fried tenderloin, crispy white meat, chicken vermicelli, musu pork, braised fish, Sixi meatballs, pork liver skin jelly platter, sauerkraut, pork ribs, pork belly, and shredded apples, ten dishes, all in very large portions.

In addition, a large plate of honey-braised eight-treasure rice was served on each table. The eight-treasure rice contained various preserved fruits and nuts, and exuded an alluring aroma as soon as it was served.

In this day and age, glutinous rice is very valuable. With so many nuts, preserved fruits and other supplementary ingredients, the cost of this plate of eight-treasure rice is indeed not low.

Good wine and good food were served, and the guests didn't care about that and started eating.

Zhou Qingyang and his wife, accompanied by Da Zhangluo, sat across the table to toast.

There was the young man who had to make things difficult for the newcomers, and he was persuaded by the people around him, but it was just a small gesture.

Everyone took the opportunity to get together to laugh and chat and enhance their relationship.

There were also those who were bold and uninhibited. They became energetic after drinking and began to punch fists. The atmosphere of the banquet was very lively, and the whole room was filled with laughter and laughter, which was particularly festive.

Around 12:30, the mother-in-law’s family left the table after eating and drinking, and then other guests also left one after another.

Sheng Liancheng and his family stayed and helped for a while. After everything was sorted here, it was getting late, so they said goodbye to everyone in the Zhou family.

"In-laws, we took the forest farm's motorcycle to get there. There are pigs and chickens in the house, and we really can't put them down.

That's it for today, you guys are busy now, and we'll get together another day when we have the chance. "Sheng Liancheng held Zhou Mingyuan's hand and said.

"Hey, are you leaving now? Look, I'm so busy today that I don't even have time to chat with my in-laws.

Otherwise, we can stay here for the night, and the two of us can have some drinks in the evening. "Zhou Mingyuan's words were not polite.

"No, no, let's do it again when we have a chance. We came down by motorcycle from the forest farm. Just now Secretary Zheng said that he was going to do some errands and asked us to meet at Sentie before four o'clock.

It's getting late, so we'll go back first so that our in-laws and mother-in-law can go to the forest farm to stay for a few days. "

Sheng Liancheng smiled and declined Zhou Mingyuan's kindness, and left the agency canteen with his wife and children.

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan did not go back with their parents, but stayed in Songjiang River for another two days.

After waiting for Zhou Qingyang and his wife to return home for three days, Sheng Xiping and his wife took their children back to Qianchuan Forest Farm.

After returning to the forest farm, Sheng Xiping went to work in the mountains, while Zhou Qinglan and others also packed their bags and returned to school.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were probably used to their mother coming back for a while and then leaving. Now that they couldn't find their mother, they cried for a while and then passed.

In the blink of an eye, in March, news came from the bureau that the original secretary Zhao Yongsheng had retired at his age, Director Xu became the new secretary, and Zhou Mingyuan was promoted to director.

Afterwards, provincial leaders came to Songjianghe Forestry Bureau to inspect the work, inspected fiberboard factories, veneer workshops, paper mills and other units, and affirmed the development of Songjianghe Forestry Bureau.

On March [-]th, several grassroots units such as Shuguang Forest Farm, Funan Forest Farm, Qianchuan Forest Farm, etc. were selected as "Advanced Units Learning from Daqing."

In the blink of an eye, April came to an end. This year's logging tasks were over. The workers on the front line were withdrawn. Sheng Liancheng returned home with his luggage rolled on his back.

Sheng Xiping has to take a commuter bus up the mountain every day to coordinate and direct loading, transportation and other related matters.

On April [-]th, Sheng Xiping suddenly received a call from Hou Yashuang.

Over the phone, Hou Yashuang said that the general manager of the timber company went to Songjianghe with a salesman, saying that he was going to purchase a batch of timber.

Sheng Xiping and Hou Yashuang have always kept in touch. Years ago, Sheng Xiping sent Hou Yashuang some Northeast specialties, and Hou Yashuang also sent a lot of things here.

Originally, Hou Yashuang mentioned in his letter that he would come over after the new year to discuss the purchase of wood this year.

"Brother, is your family Liang Liang coming with you?"

Sheng Xiping didn't pay attention at first, thinking that Hou Mingliang came with the general manager of their company, so he asked casually.

"No, no, our A Liang didn't follow. It was Mr. Peng who led another salesman there." Hou Yashuang denied on the other end of the phone.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he understood what was going on.

The manager of the lumber company probably wanted to get rid of the Hou family and his son, and come over to open up the purchase channel himself.

"Brother, if you have time later, please bring Mingliang over. Let us sit down and discuss some matters."

Sheng Xiping said nothing else, only chatted with Hou Yashuang for a few words, and then hung up the phone.

A few days later, Sheng Xiping received a call from Zhou Mingyuan.

"Xiping, here are two southerners coming here. They say they are from some kind of lumber company. They were our customers in the past and they want to buy a batch of lumber from our bureau.

The guard Lao Wang heard what they said and stopped him immediately. "

"These two people came several times and were blocked by Lao Wang. Later they said they knew you.

Lao Wang just told me, I want to call you and ask you, what's going on? "

Zhou Mingyuan is a little confused about what's going on. He doesn't need a middleman to buy wood and just comes in directly. Who knows who they are?

"Dad, those two people are from a lumber company in the south. They want to get rid of the middleman and buy wood themselves.

You tell Uncle Wang that you don't need to pay attention to them. Let them fight with each other first and teach them a lesson. "Sheng Xiping explained briefly.

Zhou Mingyuan understood as soon as he heard it, "Okay, then I know how to deal with it.

I'm a little kid, my wings haven't even grown yet, so I want to get rid of the middleman, hide it from the pot, table and kang, and explore the beauty of my thoughts. "

Weng and his son-in-law chatted for a few words before hanging up the phone.

Sheng Xiping thought for a while, then called Hou Yashuang again and told Hou Yashuang about the situation here.

"Brother, if you have time in a while, come to the Northeast and let us discuss something."

"Okay, okay, I'm planning to go to the Northeast. I'll come find you when I finish arranging my work." Hou Yashuang readily agreed.

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xiping didn't worry about these things and was still busy with his work.

Although logging is over, there is still another clearing of the forest, which is the Qing Dynasty.Sheng Xiping is in charge of production scheduling, so he has to take care of all these tasks.

"Uncle Zheng, I always feel that the Qing Dynasty's method we used before is not good.

It would be such a waste to burn so much abandoned wood or dig pits and bury it. "Sheng Xiping sorted out the documents in his hands and went to find Zheng Xianyong.

Zheng Xianyong was also busy. When he heard this, he raised his head and glanced at Sheng Xiping. "Then what do you think is reasonable?"

In fact, forest farms also have a headache about this problem. Many abandoned timber and branches are good wood, but for various reasons, they are left behind in logging areas.

Once the logging season is over, all kinds of machinery have gone down the mountain, and the wood cannot be transported out. In order to cope with the inspections from above, some measures have to be taken.

If these abandoned materials can be effectively utilized, it will be a considerable income.

"Uncle, there are about 80 to [-] collective workers in our forest farm, right? This year's logging season has passed. How will we arrange these people next?"

Large collectives are different from all migrant workers. All migrant workers belong to the iron rice bowl and are in charge of food and salary. The state is in charge of it. Whether they work or not, they will receive their wages.

However, the large collective is a subordinate unit of the forest farm, with independent accounting and responsibility for its own profits and losses.

In the past two years, it was easy to say that there were few collective workers, and we could arrange for all the migrant workers to work in the mountains together with logging.

A large number of people were recruited two years ago, and now the number of forest farm workers can be said to be exceeded. The way out for these large collective workers must be found separately.

"Come, come, sit down, let's have a nice chat." Zheng Xianyong waved to Sheng Xiping to sit down.

"Uncle, that's what I'm thinking. Can we expand the sawhouse in our forest farm and turn it into a wood processing plant to process all kinds of wood?

Most of the workers in the collective are more men than women. These people can be arranged to go up the mountain to collect fallen wood, stripped wire, abandoned wood, etc., and then come back for secondary processing and utilization.

I have a good relationship with the director of the purchasing department of a furniture factory in the south. I can contact the sales channels through him. We try to turn these previously unwanted items into treasures, which can also solve the survival problem of large collective workers. "

Sheng Xiping has been thinking about this for a long time.

The timber reserves in the mountains are limited. At the current rate of logging, it is estimated that within a few years, the entire clear-cut forest land will become less and less.

In order to enhance the utilization value of forest land, comprehensive utilization should be considered.

In the past, some small-diameter wood in the clear-cut area was treated as branches, but in fact, many of them can be used, such as car posts, kelp pegs, etc., all of which have their uses.

The Forestry Bureau has an indigenous paper mill that can only produce corrugated paper for cartons. In the past, paper was made from leftover materials from wood mills and other processing plants.

Didn’t the provincial leaders come down for inspection a while ago?The paper mill was praised by the leaders and said to be very promising, so the bureau planned to expand production, but the raw materials were insufficient.

"Uncle, the paper mill in the bureau is short of raw materials. I heard that our bureau has purchased a few chippers. Why don't we get one back and install it on the tractor.

Those branches can be crushed by a chipper and then loaded onto a truck and sent to the paper mill.

Although these things may seem like little profit, you can make a lot of money if you add up a little.

We have to find some way out for the workers in the collective, otherwise where will their wages come from? "

In his previous life, Sheng Xiping plowed wood and opened a wood processing factory. These were all the ways he had played.Nowadays, moving out a few years in advance is definitely useful.

"Let's develop slowly step by step. In the future, we can also make blinds, produce convenient chopsticks, and ice cream sticks. We can't just sell raw materials. That won't make any money, right?"

　There were four people in my family, and I was the last one to be infected.This cold is quite severe. The teachers at my daughter’s school have already encouraged children to wear masks in class. There are also many people in my son’s class asking for leave.

　　Everyone, please pay attention to your health and try not to go to crowded places.

　　Tomorrow's update may not be until noon.
