Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 426 Chen Ruiqing’s family

Sheng Xiping took the car to the Sentie Railway Station. As soon as he got off the bus, he saw the bureau's jeep waiting outside the station.

"Xiping, this way, get in the car quickly." Zhao Guangning sat in the car, waved to Sheng Xiping and shouted.

Sheng Xiping walked quickly to the car, opened the door and got in.

The driver stepped on the accelerator, and the jeep drove away from the small train station and went straight to Songjianghe Railway Station.

At the main train station, Zhou Mingyuan and the two deputy directors had already bought their tickets and were waiting.

Seeing Sheng Xiping and Zhao Guangning arriving, Zhou Mingyuan handed the tickets to them.

At around ten o'clock, everyone got on the train from Baihe to Tonghua.

This trip was a slow train, and we didn’t arrive at Hunjiang River until almost five o’clock in the afternoon.

Everyone didn't go too far, so they found a restaurant near the station and ordered a few dishes to have a bite.

I got on the train at eight o'clock in the evening, and at about ten o'clock the next morning, I finally wandered to the provincial capital.

As soon as they arrived at the exit, they saw brother and sister Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Qingyue standing outside the exit with their legs up and their necks stretched out to look in.

Today happened to be Sunday, and the two of them had a rest. When they learned that Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping were coming for a meeting, they made an appointment to pick them up at the station together.

"Dad, brother-in-law."

Zhou Qingyue was taller and had good eyesight. He caught sight of Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping who were walking out, and hurriedly waved to them and shouted loudly.

Sheng Xiping had already seen them here, so he waved to them. "Dad, Qinglan and Qingyue are over there."

After finally squeezing out, Zhou Qingyue pounced forward and hugged Zhou Mingyuan.

Over there, Sheng Xiping also went over and hugged Zhou Qinglan.

"Why are you carrying such a big bag? Aren't you just here for a few days of meetings? Why do you bring so many clothes?"

Zhou Qinglan's hand touched the pocket on Sheng Xiping's back. She tilted her head and looked at it. She couldn't help but feel strange and asked.

"It's not our mother yet. She was worried that you wouldn't be able to eat well at school, so she specially fried meat sauce, boiled salted eggs, smoked rabbit, and even brought you her own intestines.

This alone is enough for me to carry. If I add two more clothes, wouldn’t it be a full bag? "Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this.

"Forget our mother worrying about whether we can eat well even though we are so far away."

Zhou Qinglan was naturally very moved because her mother-in-law didn't mind the trouble and cooked so much food for her.

The couple hadn't seen each other for nearly two months, and they definitely had a lot to say, but there were Zhao Guangning and others on the other side, so they couldn't keep chatting at the exit.

So after the Zhou siblings greeted the others, they got in the car and went to the registration office of the provincial government building.

When we arrived at the place, we found the relevant reception staff and went through the formalities to attend the meeting. Then the staff assigned us to arrange everyone to the Forestry Hotel and nearby hotels.

The main reason is that the scope of the order fair has been expanded this year. Many leaders of some companies and enterprises in the south have come, and the forestry hotel cannot be opened.

If the level is not enough, you can only arrange to stay in a nearby hotel.

As luck would have it, Sheng Xiping was not at that level, so he couldn't live with Zhou Mingyuan, but was arranged to stay in a hotel.

The order fair is No. 13, which starts tomorrow. Zhou Mingyuan and the others are going to have an internal meeting this afternoon.

Sheng Xiping just came to join in the fun. He was not qualified to participate in the internal meeting of the forestry system, so he had nothing to do this afternoon.

"Dad, let's go to the hotel and settle down first. Qinglan Qingyue and I will go out for lunch instead of you guys. The three of us will go around in the afternoon."

The hotel assigned by Sheng Xiping was not far away. Before leaving, Sheng Xiping said this to Zhou Mingyuan.

Zhou Mingyuan hasn't seen his daughter and son for some time. He really wants to be with the children, but he has a meeting in the afternoon and really doesn't have time.

"Okay, I don't know what time the meeting will be open in the afternoon. You go and play first. Then wait until the ordering meeting is over. Then our family can take a good tour of the provincial capital."

In this way, Sheng Xiping and the others left the Linye Hotel and first arrived at the hotel the staff mentioned.

With a letter of introduction from the reception desk, Sheng Xiping went through the check-in procedures smoothly.

He did not choose to share a room with others, but spent more money to get a room of his own.

After checking in, Sheng Xiping threw all the things he carried on his back in the room, and then went out with Zhou Qinglan and the others.

The three of them found a restaurant nearby and ordered four dishes. The three of them chatted and laughed while having lunch.

Zhou Qingyue knew that his sister and brother-in-law had not seen each other for some time. As the saying goes, a break is better than a wedding. The couple wanted to hang out, so it was inconvenient for him to be around.

Zhou Qingyue didn't want to be a light bulb, so after lunch, Zhou Qingyue said he had something to do and went back to school.

Sheng Xiping was naturally happy that his brother-in-law was so knowledgeable, so he suggested that he go back to the hotel first and give most of the food he brought to Zhou Qingyue.

"Then, here are these for you. Don't be too stingy when you go back. Eat them with the people in your dormitory."

Young men have big appetites, so the subsidy given by the school is just enough for them to eat, and they cannot eat much good food.

We are all brothers who live in the same dormitory and sleep on bunk beds. When we should be generous, we should be more generous. We can't be too stubborn and unable to do anything.

"Hey, thank you, brother-in-law. It's my brother-in-law who is nice to me. There are so many delicious foods. When I go back, those monkey cubs will be happy to call me daddy."

Zhou Qingyue looked at the bag of food and couldn't help imagining the scene of him taking the things back to the dormitory and a group of people hugging him and stroking his beard.

"You're not learning well every day, you're talking nonsense." When Zhou Qinglan heard this, she glared at her brother angrily.

"Oh, sister, the boys' dormitory is like this. They are used to fighting." Zhou Qingyue quickly explained.

"Go back and study hard, and stop fooling around with others." Zhou Qinglan glared at his younger brother.

This troublesome boy, thanks to the close distance between the two schools, the siblings can see each other every week. With her watching over him, the brat didn't learn bad things.

Northeast Normal University and Jilin University of Technology are two schools next to each other, which is exactly what the jingle said.

"Flowers from the Normal University, grass from the University of Technology, and monks from Guangmai are all over the streets."

Generally speaking, there are more girls in normal universities, and all of them have outstanding looks. In general, there are more boys in engineering universities, and there are always a few with outstanding looks.

Sheng Xiping had never seen anyone else, but to the Zhou siblings, it seemed quite appropriate.

“I know, I know, I just like to be verbose.

You two haven't seen each other for a long time, so I won't interrupt you. I'll wait for our dad to finish his work later, and then we can find time to get together. "

Zhou Qingyue blinked at Sheng Xiping, then slipped away with a large bag of things.

"This bastard, what did he mean just now?" Zhou Qinglan asked with her hands on her hips as she watched her brother flying away.

Sheng Xiping returned to the room with his wife in his arms, and they sat down by the bed.

"What else does he mean? He just wants us to seize the opportunity? Wife, we haven't seen each other for almost two months, and you don't miss me?"

Sheng Xiping put his arms around his wife's waist and whispered into her ear.

Zhou Qinglan's face turned red instantly and she pushed Sheng Xiping away hard, "What nonsense are you talking about in broad daylight?"

"Oh, if it doesn't work during the day, then it will be at night." Sheng Xiping didn't take it seriously and said with a smile.

"Can you think of something else in your mind? You are not serious every day."

Zhou Qinglan angrily pushed Sheng Xiping away and turned away to ignore him.

"How can you be more serious with your own wife?" Sheng Xiping didn't care about that and continued to pester her, hugging her and laughing.

Zhou Qinglan was neither angry nor laughing at being teased by Sheng Xiping, so she could only round up her fists and hit him twice.

"Stop being ridiculous, I have to give Chen Feng and Chen Yue extra lessons in the afternoon. It's a rare time for you to come over, do you have to go see Brother Chen and sister-in-law?"

Zhou Qinglan and the others received a telegram from home yesterday and learned that Sheng Xiping had accompanied Zhou Mingyuan to the provincial capital.

Today, the brother and sister went to pick them up at the station, but they didn't have time to inform Chen Ruiqing and his wife.

As usual, Zhou Qinglan would go to Chen's house every Sunday to give Chen Feng and Chen Yue extra lessons. Since there was no prior notice, she would definitely have to go there this afternoon.

"Okay, I just want to meet Brother Ruiqing. I haven't seen him for a long time."

When Sheng Xiping came to the provincial capital this time, he originally planned to visit Chen Ruiqing. It just happened, so let's go together in the afternoon.

The couple left the hotel, looked for a place to buy some things, and then went to Chen's house with them.

"Brother Ruiqing, sister-in-law, long time no see."

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan pushed open the door and entered the courtyard, and happened to see the couple gathering together in the coal shed.

Chen Ruiqing has done an outstanding job in the past few years and has been promoted from deputy director to full director.

Coincidentally, the unit has welfare housing this year. Chen Ruiqing signed up for one and will be moving in a while.

It was Sunday, so Chen Ruiqing postponed some social activities and made a special trip to get together with Shao Minzhi at home in advance and give away unwanted things as they should, so as not to be in a hurry when moving.

"Ouch, what brought my brother here?"

When Chen Ruiqing heard the voice, he immediately looked up and saw that it was Sheng Xiping. He happily took off his gloves and walked to Sheng Xiping in two steps.

"Brother, long time no see."

Chen Ruiqing has been busy with work in the past two years and has no time to accompany Chen Feng and the others to Qianchuan. Zhou Qinglan takes them every time during summer vacation.

Therefore, Chen Ruiqing and Sheng Xiping have indeed not seen each other for a long time.

"This time my father-in-law came to the province for a meeting, and I came to join in the fun.

Didn't you just arrive this morning?Come over this afternoon to see Brother Ruiqing and my sister-in-law. "

Sheng Xiping handed the things in his hand to Chen Ruiqing, "I came in a hurry. I didn't bring anything with me. I just went to buy it."

"Oh, look at you, you're here, what else are you buying? You haven't sent anything here very often in the past few years?"

Chen Ruiqing took the two items and handed them to Shao Minzhi.

This is true. Sheng Xiping would send a lot of mountain goods to the Chen family every year.

Chen Feng and Chen Yue went back to live in the forest farm in the summer. Every time they returned to the provincial capital, the Sheng family brought a lot of food.

"Come on, brothers and sisters, let's go into the house and talk."

Chen Ruiqing was working at home and was covered in dirt. He couldn't get too close to Sheng Xiping, so he only made a gesture to let Sheng Xiping and his wife into the house. "Xiaofeng, Yue'er, look, who's coming?"

Chen Ruiqing led Sheng Xiping and his wife into the house. Before they could enter the door, they shouted.

Chen Feng and Chen Yue were reading homework in the room. When they heard the noise, they put down their pens and came out.

"Uncle, oh, why are you here?" As soon as Chen Feng saw it was Sheng Xiping, he happily jumped forward and hugged Sheng Xiping.

Even though this child has returned to the provincial capital, his relationship with the Sheng family remains the same. Every time he sees Sheng Xiping, he is extremely affectionate.

Sheng Xiping stretched out his hand and gestured on top of Chen Feng's head, "Hey, you have grown taller again. You are much taller than when you returned to the forest farm last year."

14-year-old Chen Feng is almost 1.7 meters tall.

Looking at how tall and strong he looks now, how could you have imagined that he was a skinny little carrot head a few years ago?
"Uncle, how are Xinhua and Xinyu? I miss them. Where are my grandparents? Are they feeling well?

My brother-in-law is going to take the high school entrance examination this year, right?Are you busy with homework?He hasn't written to me for a long time. "

Chen Feng held Sheng Xiping in his arms and asked a series of questions.

"By the way, where is Huahua? Did Huahua come back with Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang in winter?"

"You ask so many questions, which one do you want your uncle to answer first?" On the other end, Chen Ruiqing smiled. "Let's go inside and sit down to talk."

Everyone entered the room and sat on the kang. Only then did Sheng Xiping have time to answer Chen Feng's questions.

"Xinhua is in the Yuhong class, and Xinyu is at home. These two are so naughty now. There is nothing they dare not do to climb into the house.

Your grandma is in good health. This year she is planning to open some more land and grow more sticky corn. She is waiting for you to go back in the summer and cook it for you to eat. "

In the past few years, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were obsessed with opening up wasteland, farming, and raising pigs and chickens. Sheng Xiping tried to persuade them to no avail, so they had no choice but to leave it to them.

"Your uncle is busy right now. Apart from eating and sleeping, he just reads and does questions.

He said that if his family had three college students and he couldn't even pass the high school entrance exam, it would be a huge embarrassment to his family. "

Sheng Xiping hugged Chen Feng and told him about the family affairs with a smile.

"Huahua does send things home every once in a while, but I didn't see them. They probably come back at night."

Ever since Zhuangzhuang got into trouble and Huahua took her children away, she never came home to live again.

But every now and then, there would be dead prey in front of Sheng's house, and sometimes you could see footprints on the ground, which should be Huahua leading the two cubs back.

Chen Feng was satisfied when he heard that things were going well at home, "Uncle, Xiao Yue'er and I will go back to live in the summer.

We all like the forest farm, which is much more interesting than the city.Actually, I wanted to go back during the winter vacation, but my dad wouldn’t let me. "

On the other end, Chen Ruiqing glared at his son, "It will be enough to cause trouble if you go back in the summer.

Your grandma and your aunt have to cook for you and wash your clothes. Day by day, you know how to make trouble.

You are in junior high school now. If your final grades are not good, well, don’t go back to the forest farm during the summer vacation. "

The current five-year primary school system is still in place. Chen Feng was admitted to junior high school last fall and is now a first-year junior high school student.

Junior high school has many subjects and tight homework. Fortunately, Zhou Qinglan is always watching over the child, and Chen Feng's grades are quite good.

When Chen Ruiqing said this, he was purely threatening his son.

"Tch, what you said is so scary, my grades were bad that time?" Chen Feng curled his lips and muttered in a low voice.

As the child grew older, it became more and more difficult to manage. Chen Ruiqing had no choice but to help her son, so she angrily told her son to do his homework quickly.

Chen Feng made a face at his father, then ran to the desk and took the time to do his homework.

At this time, Zhou Qinglan was also called over by Chen Yue to ask for advice on homework.

"Daughter-in-law, you go buy some groceries. Let my brother and sister-in-law stay at home to have a meal tonight, and I will chat with them for a while."

Chen Ruiqing turned to look at Shao Minzhi, asking Shao Minzhi to buy more delicious food and cook more meals at night.

"Oh, brother, don't bother sister-in-law. We're just going to sit here for a while and chat with you for a while." Sheng Xiping saw it and hurriedly stopped her.

"Brother, if you come all the way here and don't stop at home for a meal, it will be a slap in the face of your brother and your sister-in-law.

There's no need to say anything else. We have to eat here tonight. We haven't seen each other for a while. Let's have a couple of drinks tonight. "

Chen Ruiqing nodded towards his wife, Shao Minzhi responded, went to the west room to change clothes, and then went out to buy groceries with a small basket.

Shao Minzhi went to buy groceries, while Zhou Qinglan watched the two children do their homework and guided them in their homework.

Sheng Xiping and Chen Ruiqing were chatting in the room because they were afraid of disturbing their children's studies, so they moved the benches and sat at the door of the room to chat.

Chen Ruiqing and Sheng Xiping also had daily contact, sometimes making phone calls and sometimes writing letters, but it was not as detailed and cordial as meeting each other like this.

The two of them were already at odds with each other, and this rare meeting made them feel like they had a lot to say.

Chen Ruiqing asked about Sheng Xiping's situation in the processing factory, and Sheng Xiping also told Chen Ruiqing about some of the problems he was encountering.

“Brother, I am in charge of import and export foreign trade, and I don’t know much about forestry matters.

But from what you said, I feel like you should go out and take a look.

Hey, do your forest areas produce mushrooms, fungus or something like that?These things are particularly popular in Japan and South Korea.

Our province exports a large amount of fungus every year, and the supply exceeds demand.

I know this thing grows on wood, but haven’t you thought about this?If it could be cultivated artificially, this would be a huge amount of income. "

Chen Ruiqing thought about it for a while and gave Sheng Xiping some advice.

Sheng Xiping smiled bitterly and shook his head, "Brother, what you are talking about is edible fungi cultivation. How can we have such technology?

We are just a small processing factory, but we don’t have the capital to study these things. "

I don’t know if edible fungi cultivation technology has emerged now. Anyway, in Sheng Xiping’s memory, in the 90s, many people used the method of drilling holes in wood to inoculate bacterial strains to cultivate fungus, elmgrass, etc.

Perhaps, research departments such as Agricultural University already have relevant technologies, but Sheng Xiping just doesn't know about it.

"Furthermore, this falls within the scope of agricultural and sideline products. Even if there is relevant technology, it can only be done by the forest farm agricultural team, and the processing factory simply does not have the energy to think about it.

I actually really want to go to the south and have a look, maybe I can get some good ideas. "

Sheng Xiping shook his head. It is not easy to go out for inspection and study these days. You have to determine the inspection target and have leaders at all levels in the field and bureau nod in agreement.

The key is that Sheng Xiping has no specific plan at all, and he doesn't know where to investigate. He just wants to walk around, which is definitely not possible.

"Yeah, that's right. Working in an office anyway has its own difficulties."

Chen Ruiqing nodded. The rigidity within the system had caused many things to lose flexibility. Chen Ruiqing could not deny this.

"Actually, our province has many opportunities for inspections and exchanges. For example, there is a Spring Fair and Autumn Fair in Yangcheng, you know?
Every year our province arranges for many units from counties and cities to participate.

I will help you keep an eye on it in the future. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will think of a way to take you with me.

We don’t ask for anything else, just go there and take a look, gain some insights, and maybe you can get some inspiration. "Chen Ruiqing suddenly remembered something and said hurriedly.

Sheng Xiping's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Oh, it would be great if you could follow me."

The Spring Fair and the Autumn Fair, Sheng Xiping had heard people say in his previous life, can be regarded as the domestic window to the world.

It would be great if I could follow this and learn more about it. It would definitely be of great benefit.

Of course, not just anyone can go. I heard that every accompanying person must be a staff member of each local government department.

Without a work permit from the exhibition, I can’t even enter the exhibition gate.

Sheng Xiping doesn't have that qualification now.

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on it for you. I can't guarantee whether it will work or not. You have to catch the opportunity."

This is what Chen Ruiqing is in charge of. If he wants to stuff someone into it, he can still do it.

Of course, you have to look for opportunities and cannot force things in. After all, Sheng Xiping is in the forestry system and cannot deal with these things.

The two brothers chatted very well here. After a while, Shao Minzhi came back with a basket of vegetables and meat, and a fish in his hand.

"It happened to be a good time today. There happened to be fish just delivered from the reservoir in the grocery store. They looked pretty good, so I bought two and stewed them at night.

There are also ribs and meat. I will cook some dishes later, and you and Xiping will have a drink. "

Nowadays, the non-staple food aspect has been relaxed a bit. Some farmers around the provincial capital will deliver vegetables and meat to the city.

In addition, the solar term here is earlier and it is warmer than the Changbai Mountain area. Some farmers will close their sheds in advance to encourage the leeks and onions in the fields to sprout early. At this time, fresh sprouted onions, leeks, and garlic seedlings can already be purchased.

"My sister-in-law is tired. Whatever you need to do, just ask her. I can also cook." Sheng Xiping said with a smile.

"Oh, no, you can just chat with your big brother in peace.

He was just busy with things in the unit that day, and I didn't understand anything. I couldn't talk to him when I got home.Now that you're here, you can chat with him more. "

Shao Minzhi waved her hand, carried her things into the house and packed them away.

Just like that, Sheng Xiping and Chen Ruiqing were chatting at the door, while Shao Minzhi stayed in the house picking vegetables, washing vegetables, and killing fish.

After Zhou Qinglan helped the two children with their homework, she also came out to help Shao Minzhi cook.

Shao Minzhi and Zhou Qinglan were chatting and laughing in the kitchen, cooking and cooking. By five o'clock, they had made six dishes and one soup, and stewed a pot of rice.

Chen Ruiqing found two bottles of good wine and poured them for Sheng Xiping and himself, "Come on, Xiping, let's have some drinks."

Good wine, good food, and meeting close friends are considered a joy in life, so the two of them exchanged glasses and started drinking.

The meal lasted until seven o'clock in the evening. Both Sheng Xiping and Chen Ruiqing drank a lot.

Sheng Xiping was worried about attending the ordering meeting tomorrow, in case he drank too much and couldn't get up, so he told Chen Ruiqing that it would end here.

The couple said goodbye to the Chen family. Zhou Qinglan supported Sheng Xiping and they returned to the hotel together.

In the evening, Zhou Qinglan did not go back to school and stayed one night in the hotel with Sheng Xiping.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qinglan took the food that Sheng Xiping brought her and hurried back to school.

　Spring Fair and Autumn Fair are just mentioned casually, I have no intention of writing.In this book, instead of following the path of this book, the protagonist finds another way to make money.
