Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 427 The Women in the Saw House

NO.13 At 08:30 in the morning, the Jilin Province Timber Products Ordering Fair officially started.

Zhou Mingyuan led several people from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, each wearing a work ID, and under the guidance of the staff, entered the designated location in the conference hall.

The order fairs of this era did not have so many tricks. Compared with later expos and trade fairs, which had various exhibition halls and booths with a dazzling array of products, they were much simpler.

The products that can be obtained are logs of various diameters and varieties, fiberboard, plywood, square lumber, particleboard, etc.

Of course, none of these are real objects, at most they are enlarged photos.

Every merchant who comes to the ordering meeting will have a stack of color pictures in his hand to introduce the product and the [-] provincial forestry bureaus.

The Ministry of Domestic Trade, the Ministry of Forestry, the National Timber Corporation, the General Administration of Materials and other relevant departments all sent personnel to attend the meeting, and leaders of relevant departments in the province took the stage to speak.

Afterwards, people from seventeen forestry bureaus came on stage to introduce the situation of each forestry bureau.

Next, each participating department and company will submit their letter of intent for ordering this year.

For some orders, the province will make overall arrangements and assign the orders to which forestry bureau.

The other part is selected by the merchants themselves. Each forestry bureau signs a timber supply contract with the merchants based on last year's harvesting volume and this winter's harvesting target.

Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is considered to be the largest among the provincial forestry bureaus. In this year's order fair, it received one-third more orders than in previous years.

Many of them are small-diameter timber newly included in the catalog this year.

Sheng Xiping had already known this, so he was not too surprised by this. He only helped Zhou Mingyuan and the others handle the contract.

The order fair lasts for one and a half days, and there is a small banquet on the afternoon of NO. 14, which is also an opportunity for the forestry bureaus and foreign merchants to communicate with each other.

Sheng Xiping also seized the opportunity to chat with many merchants, inquire about their needs for wood products, and obtain business opportunities.

At the same time, I also exchanged contact information with many people. Anyway, with this kind of connection, I will save a lot of worry in the future.

After the order fair ended, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. At night, everyone returned to the hotel or hostel, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.

The next day, everyone who had rested began to wander around the provincial capital.

At this time of year, there wasn't much to see in the provincial capital. The guys first went to Nanhu Park to hang out all morning, and then went to a few department stores to buy things in the afternoon.

When you go out, you always have to buy something for home, otherwise your trip will be in vain.

Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping were no exception. They followed the army around and bought good things when they came across them.

"Xiping, come on, there's a TV seller here."

Zhou Mingyuan walked to a counter, looked at the square box-like things placed on the counter, and said excitedly.

Sheng Xiping walked over with a smile and saw that it was a Sika Deer HB1-1 twelve-inch black and white TV produced in Changchun.

In my previous life, I was used to seeing all kinds of large-screen TVs. This [-]-inch screen TV looks small and exquisite.

"Dad, do you like this? Do you want to buy it?"

Sheng Xiping looked at the TV and sighed in his heart, isn't this thing too small?It's such a small screen, why don't you lean in front of it to see it?
"Well, I have this idea. Before I went out this time, your mother talked to me about it.

During the Chinese New Year last year, a batch of these TVs came into our store, and they were snatched up before anyone could wait.

Your mother was very sorry at the time, because she thought I was just sitting around the house and not rushing to buy a TV. "

Zhou Mingyuan chuckled and looked at the TV in front of him with all kinds of curiosity.

Wang Chunxiu said that the three children in the family were outside, and they were the only two who stared at each other all day long.

It was okay during the day, both of them went to work, but after dinner in the evening, nothing happened, and the old couple didn't have much to talk to each other.

There is a radio at home, but where can I catch a TV?

Wang Chunxiu heard people say that there were people on the TV who could move, talk, and sing, so she really wanted to buy one.

"Then if my mother wants to buy it, just buy it. Comrade, how much does this TV cost?" Sheng Xiping turned around and asked the salesperson.

The salesperson behind the counter had a nonchalant expression on his face.

"It's out of stock. You have to queue up. It will take at least two months before the goods are available."

In this day and age, department store salespeople are guaranteed jobs, and they all have a very proud attitude.

I have heard before that in some places, salespeople dare to beat customers.

Therefore, some stores and supply and marketing societies specifically put up signs prohibiting beating customers without reason.

People in small places are familiar with each other, and they will be more polite if they lower their heads but don't raise their heads to meet them.

It's a big place in the provincial capital and it's such a high-end department store. It's understandable that the salesperson has an arrogant attitude, so Sheng Xiping was not surprised but didn't get angry.

But this person is lying with his eyes open. There is obviously a TV on the counter, but he must say that it is out of stock. Isn't this a bit too much?

"Comrade, isn't there something on the counter? Why do you say it's out of stock?" Sheng Xiping pointed at the TV on the counter and asked.

"What do you know? This one was ordered by our leader. It is temporarily placed here as a sample. It will be taken away in two days."

The salesperson glanced at Sheng Xiping and said impatiently.

"Forget it, Xiping, we won't buy it if it's out of stock, right? I'll say hello to our store in advance when I get back and leave one for me then."

Zhou Mingyuan was afraid that Sheng Xiping would get angry and quarrel with the salesperson again, so he hurriedly dragged Sheng Xiping away.

"Do you want one at home? If so, I will think of a way to leave one for you."

Sheng Xiping shook his head, "My family doesn't want it, right?

The fourth and fifth children are taking the college entrance examination this year, and the sixth child is taking the high school entrance exam. It's only been a few months. If we really get a TV back home, they are all thinking about watching TV. How can they still be in the mood to study? "

There was a radio at home, which fascinated Sheng Xitai. At six o'clock in the evening, Ma Liu would turn it on and listen to the radio.

That is to say, I had a lot of homework in the third grade of junior high school and had evening classes, so I didn't have time to listen.

If I buy a TV and go home, haha, the people at home will be obsessed with it.

No, let’s forget it, study is more important, wait until these people are admitted to college.

What's more, TVs these days are too small and still black and white. It's better to buy an [-]-inch or [-]-inch color TV in a few years.It’s troublesome to have to replace it when you can save it.

Zhou Mingyuan nodded when he heard this, "Yes, I heard people say that in the few houses in our bureau that have TVs, people in the whole room crowd to watch them at night, which affects children's learning too much.

Is your fourth and fifth child studying well?How were the results of the test?Hey, are you about to take the physical examination and fill out your application form? "Zhou Mingyuan suddenly remembered and asked casually.

"Are their grades good? I heard from Principal Wang that they seem to be pretty good."

These children in the Sheng family are all quite talented in learning.

In addition, Zhou Qinglan, Sheng Xikang and others provided various learning materials from outside, so Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei's grades have always been good.

"That's good. Oh, it would be great if you could have two more college students in your family." Zhou Mingyuan sighed.

The TV was not purchased, so the two of them continued to wander elsewhere.Anyway, if you come across something rare, buy it, and if you don’t find it, throw it away.

In the evening, the two men went to school to find Zhou Qinglan and Zhou Qingyue. The family of four found a restaurant, ordered a few dishes, and had a good time together, chatting.

Zhou Qingyue talked about how he brought the pile of delicious food back to his dormitory two days ago and was robbed of food by the shameless group of people in his dormitory.

For a bite of smoked rabbit meat, these guys are really willing to sacrifice their skin. It's not even a big deal to call him "big brother", even his adoptive father calls him out.

So much food, except for the meat sauce, was snatched up by the hungry wolves in an instant.

Fortunately, Zhou Qing had anticipated it earlier and set aside a rabbit's leg in advance, otherwise, he might not be able to catch anything.

Compared to the boys' dormitory, the girls were much quieter. Zhou Qinglan took the delicious food back and everyone shared the food together at noon.

"Everyone praises my mother for her good craftsmanship. The smoked rabbit is pretty good and the sausage is delicious." Zhou Qinglan said with a smile.

"Well, before I left, our mother was mumbling that she was going to kill the pig and eat it.

When the time comes, I'll tell my mother to fill her intestines with some more and send it to you. "My wife wants to eat, so she must make arrangements."

In the past two years, Zhang Shuzhen has caught two pigs every spring. One pig will be raised until the Chinese New Year and killed and eaten, and the other pig will be raised until this time in the spring.

Why now?The main reason is that there are not many vegetables in this season. The only thing on the dinner table is wild vegetables. In Sheng Xitai's words, it is just eating green grass.

Therefore, we need to eat more oil and water, so that we can feel confident in our stomach and have the energy to work.

However, the weather was warm at this time and there was no refrigerator at home, so I couldn’t kill a pig and eat it at home.

Usually half of it is sold to the forest farm store, and the other half is kept and distributed to relatives and friends. The rest is salted and eaten slowly.

"No, it's so far away. I'm afraid everything might get damaged if you send it over. Besides, the postage will be quite expensive." Zhou Qinglan waved her hand after hearing this.

"I will graduate in half a year. When the time comes, I will be assigned to go back and let my mother cook whatever I want."

Zhou Qinglan started school in the spring of [-] and will graduate by the end of this year.

She was originally a teacher at Maekuan Forestry Farm, majoring in normal education, medicine, and agriculture. She basically followed the principle of distribution based on where she came from.

Therefore, Zhou Qinglan will most likely be assigned to teach in Qianchuan Forest Farm primary and secondary schools.

That's fine. After all, the Sheng family is in Qianchuan. If Zhou Qinglan is assigned elsewhere, what will happen to the couple in the future?You can't live in two places forever, right?Then something will happen sooner or later?

"It's okay. It's a little salty when you make it. If you dry it for a few more days, it can be stored for a long time."

Sheng Xiping didn't care about the postage. As long as it was something his wife wanted to eat, it had to be delivered no matter how far it was and how much the postage cost.

"By the way, do you have to go back tomorrow?
I've pulled out a bunch of review materials, and you can bring them back to Lao Si Lao Wu and the others. "

Zhou Qinglan knew that she couldn't beat Sheng Xiping, so she simply didn't mention this problem. She pulled out another pile of papers from the pocket beside her and handed it to Sheng Xiping.

"Hey, so many? Just in time, I heard two girls talking that day, saying that they had finished the papers you brought back to them last time.

Originally, they wanted me to take the opportunity to bring some review materials back, but I didn’t understand anything and couldn’t understand them.With these, I don’t have to buy them. "Sheng Xiping looked at the thick pile of papers and materials and knew that they were all useful things, so he quickly put them away.

"It's my wife's good intentions that she didn't forget about my sister-in-law's academic performance when she was outside and took the trouble to search for information.

If these two don't study hard and get good grades, they will be sorry for their sister-in-law's childishness. "

Sheng Xiping's words were not meant to coax his wife, but he was grateful from the bottom of his heart for Zhou Qinglan's contribution to the family.

Zhou Mingyuan was on the other side, listening to the conversation between his daughter and his uncle, and nodded with satisfaction.

The couple had been worried before, fearing that their long-term separation would affect their relationship.

Fortunately, my daughter is an honest person, loves her family, and goes to a normal school with more girls.

My uncle is also a reliable person. The relationship between the two of them has always been good. They can just hold on for another six months until Qinglan graduates.

During the chat, the food was served, and Zhou Mingyuan quickly greeted his daughter and son to eat.

"Eat more. You usually don't want to eat anything good when you are in school. Today I specially ordered meat and vegetables. Eat more."

Zhou Mingyuan said while picking up food for the child.

The family had a happy meal. In the evening, Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping went back to the hotel to rest, and Zhou Qinglan and her brother went back to school.

NO.16 In the morning, everyone walked around the provincial capital again, and then took the car back in the afternoon.

At noon on NO.17, a group of people arrived at Songjianghe. The trip to the provincial capital ordering fair was considered a success.

Sheng Xiping did not delay at Songjiang River, but called the Forest Railway for dispatch. When he learned that there would be a log truck transporting timber back to Qianchuan in the afternoon, he went directly to the Forest Railway and took the bus back to the forest farm.

In the Changbai Mountain area in mid-April, the temperature was still a little low.

When we got off the car, we clearly felt that Maekawa was several degrees colder than Songjiang River, and it was incomparable to the provincial capital.

It's cold in spring, and the wind blows on people like a knife.

Sheng Xiping put on his thick coat when he got on the bus from Songjianghe. He wrapped his clothes tightly and ran to the processing factory.

When we first arrived at the gate of the processing plant, we didn't hear the roar of the saws at work. We only heard the laughter and noise of women laughing and joking.

Sheng Xiping was stunned. Today is Friday and there is no holiday. What are you doing in the factory?The saw stopped and you are not working?Is this a party?
Sheng Xiping stepped into the processing factory, only to find that Chen Liping, Lin Junhua and other young female workers from the collective and the whole country were standing in the yard of the processing factory, with their faces flushed and their heads lowered, muttering something unknown.

"What's going on? Why don't you do any work and just stand outside?" Sheng Xiping coughed and asked.

The female workers in the yard were startled when they heard the noise.

Some reacted quickly and ran into the workshop, while others stood there with their heads lowered, looking embarrassed.

"Comrade Lin Junhua, what's going on? It's not even time to get off work, why do I hear the saw has stopped?

What's going on in there?Stop working? "Sheng Xiping saw Lin Junhua standing outside and asked.

"Director, um, um, Niu Erzhu is in the workshop and is being taken care of by Sister Haixia and the others." Lin Junhua said coquettishly with a look on his face that he couldn't wipe away.

Lin Junhua only said this, and Sheng Xiping knew what was going on.

This processing plant was expanded from the former fire saw house. When Feng Baosheng came to the forest farm, all the women who worked in the forest were assigned to work in the fire saw house.

Later, Zheng Xianyong became the secretary, and there were no changes to the sawhouse. Those old ladies still worked in the sawhouse.

Most of these women are women whose husbands have had accidents. They take over or take over the job. In order to support the family, they are all fierce and difficult to deal with.

In addition, they have been working in the saw house for a long time, and all of them have strong strength, high voices, and are as fierce as wolves and tigers.

We are not afraid of tigers from the Northeast, but we are afraid of tigers getting together in a den.

This group of tiger ladies work together all day long, and they are all married and have had children. They are thicker-skinned than men. They are so fierce that they wish they could lift the roof of the sawhouse.

The forest farm has several drivers who drive large rubber-tired tractors and are dedicated to transporting wood to the sawhouse.

One day, these girls got excited and saw the driver driving a big rubber wheel into the saw room, and they all stared at them with green eyes.

The female captain made a signal, and several strong women rushed over, held the driver down, untied the driver's belt and stuffed sawdust into his crotch.

Then, he had to force the driver to tell him about the process of doing errands with his wife last night.

The details should be fine, not too thin will do, and the rough parts should be thick, not too thick, or else they will continue to stuff sawdust into their crotch.

A middle-aged man is beyond his capabilities, how can he have so many details to talk about?Some just make it up.

As a result, this group of experienced women saw through it, and they tortured the driver until he fell to the ground and begged for mercy.

It is said that one time, these tiger ladies stuck a pack of twelve pieces of Shangshi Pain Relief Ointment on a certain driver's unspeakable place, and in the end they almost tore off the skin and flesh.

These tiger ladies in the fire saw house are famous throughout the forest farm. Those drivers who drive large rubber wheels make their legs tremble when they mention it to the fire saw house to deliver and unload materials.

At the same time, these women in the fire sawhouse are also a well-known women's protection organization in the forest farm. Everyone is an extremist.

Male forestry workers, especially those who work in the mountains, all have a habit of drinking.

Some people beat their wives when they get home after drinking too much.

Women's organizations, trade unions, and the Communist Youth League in forest farms are often helpless in dealing with such family disputes.

However, once the women in the fire saw room took action, the problem was easily solved.

The female captain of the saw room gave the order and led the group of women directly to the other party's house.

When some men saw these women, they were so frightened that they jumped out of the window and ran away.

Those who ran slowly were dragged to the sawhouse by the women and tortured. From there on, they no longer dared to drink and beat their wives.

Since the saw room was expanded into a processing plant, there have been many young people from the big group here. Sheng Xiping has repeatedly given orders not to mess around in the processing plant anymore.

There were more and more young people, and those tiger bitches were too embarrassed to mess around anymore, so after the establishment of the processing plant, this kind of thing rarely happened anymore.

"Niu Erzhu?" Sheng Xiping knew what was going on when he heard this name.

This Niu Erzhu is a worker at a forest farm. He loves drinking. As long as he doesn't go to work, he always drinks two taels when he gets up in the morning.

This man has a problem. He usually looks like a dog, but when he gets drunk, he beats his father, curses his mother, and talks dirty words. He will drag his wife over and beat her at every turn.

He still makes sense, what about "the wife who was beaten is the daughter-in-law who was rubbed."

He said that these are the rules left by the ancestors, and women must be beaten. If they don't, they will not be obedient.

Niu Erzhu's daughter-in-law was beaten all the time, and when she couldn't bear it anymore, she went to the women's organization in the field.

But Niu Erzhu was such a bastard that it was useless to tell anyone. He said it well in person, but he still beat his wife when he drank.

"Today Niu Erzhu's daughter-in-law came to the processing factory to find Sister Haixia and the others, saying that Niu Erzhu was drunk and beat her again.

Sister Haixia and the others became anxious upon hearing this, and arranged for six or seven people to drag Niu Erzhu directly to our workshop.

Then they kicked out all of us young people, who were cleaning up Niu Erzhu inside. Lin Junhua said with a look of confusion on his face.

Just as he was talking about this, he heard Niu Erzhu's voice shouting like a pig was being killed in the workshop.

"I'm done with it, I'm done with it, I'm really done with it. Sisters, sisters-in-law, aunts, aunts, grandma, I'm done with it, I'm really done with it, please just spare me."

That movement sounded miserable.

It was probably someone who tipped off the news from outside. When the women inside learned that Sheng Xiping was back, they were also shocked. They didn't bother to clean up Niu Erzhu anymore and hurriedly asked him to get up.

As a result, Niu Erzhu was so mean that he changed his mind again just after he got up from the ground.

"My own old ladies, I can take care of them as I please, what does it have to do with you?
If I don't beat her today, there will be tomorrow. How can you still stay at my house every day? "

Niu Erzhu pulled up his trousers and put on his belt with a curse.

"What's so great about it? If you like to see it, I'll take off my pants and let you see it. You can touch it if you want. What should I, a grown man, be afraid of?"

You can rape me if you can. I am not a chaste and fierce woman, and I am not afraid of losing my virginity. "

Just at this time, Sheng Xiping came in from outside. Hearing this, Sheng Xiping snorted coldly.

"Sister Xia, tomorrow you will bring Niu Erzhu's wife to work in our processing factory. Our factory happens to be short of a few temporary workers."

As soon as these words came out, Niu Erzhu's face suddenly turned pale, and he opened his mouth and could not say anything.

Damn, are you kidding? If you hang out with these tiger bitches, within a month, his wife will turn into a tigress. Is that okay?
"Director Sheng, don't, don't. Isn't it okay for me to accept it? From now on, is it okay for me to change my ways and stop beating her?" Niu Erzhu looked at Sheng Xiping with a pleading look on his face.

"Sister Xia, what do you say?" Since it was those women who came forward in this matter, they would definitely make the final decision.

"I think the factory director's suggestion is a good one. Niu Erzhu's wife is doing a good job. It would definitely work to recruit her as a temporary worker."

The female captain named Wang Haixia said loudly.

When Niu Erzhu heard this, his legs softened and he fell directly to the ground. "Why are you not letting me live?"

"Come here and throw this guy out. He's so annoying. Let's get to work quickly."

Sheng Xiping didn't even look at Niu Erzhu. He said hello, and several young men came in and took Niu Erzhu out directly.

Wang Haixia and other women looked at Sheng Xiping's livid face and were all a little embarrassed.

"Director, it's not that we forgot your rules. The main reason is that Niu Erzhu's wife was beaten so badly that she was bruised and bruised.

She came to beg us, and we acted bravely. "Wang Haixia was pushed out by everyone and explained.

"Sister Xia, this is just this time, it won't be the same in the future.

What can't be solved properly?Do you have to use this method?If word spreads, it will also be bad for the reputation of our processing plant. "

Sheng Xiping sighed, these women are all prickly.
