Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 430 Long-term plan
"Mom, don't you know what Qinglan wants? She is greedy for her daughter and has wanted her for a long time. I have always disagreed."

Sheng Xiping sat carefully on the edge of the kang, fearing that his mother would pick up the knots on the broom and beat him if she disagreed.

He was thick-skinned and not afraid of being beaten, but Sheng Xinyu was at home and was beaten in front of the child. How could he teach his son a lesson in the future?
"Oh, you two are really worrying us to death. It's sooner rather than later. It's just now."

Zhang Shuzhen glared at her son again angrily, and then sighed.

"What about it? Should I do it or not?"

From the bottom of her heart, Zhang Shuzhen wished that her son and daughter-in-law would have more children.

For example, people of their elder generation have many children. Even if there is one promising child, the family will get better and better.

Xinhua Xinyu, the two younger brothers, are still a bit lonely. Although Sheng Xian, Sheng Xikang and the others will be able to have children in the future, they are still one step behind.

It would be nice to have a younger brother or sister to keep me company.

But the current situation is really not suitable for having another child. So Zhang Shuzhen was also confused and didn't know what to do about this matter.

"Dad, please say something. If something serious comes up, just pretend to be dumb." Zhang Shuzhen turned to look at Sheng Liancheng.

Sheng Liancheng had no intention of expressing his opinion from the beginning. His daughter-in-law was giving birth to a child, so why was he, the husband-in-law, getting involved?
But when his wife asked, Sheng Liancheng had no choice but not to speak.

"Well, we shouldn't discuss whether or not we should have children. We should ask the boss's father-in-law and mother-in-law to see what they mean."

From the bottom of his heart, Sheng Liancheng is of course happy for his descendants to prosper. He is not afraid of having too many grandsons, the more the better.

But the current situation was really embarrassing. Sheng Liancheng couldn't make a decision, so he simply pushed it aside.

Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Xiping looked at each other and both felt it made sense. "Yes, yes, your dad is right.

Boss, pack up quickly, go down, discuss it with your father-in-law and mother-in-law, and see what they say.

If they agree to do it, then we will do it.

I estimated the time. Qinglan should have given birth during the winter vacation, and it wouldn't be too late for her to go to work after her confinement.

If your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't agree, then try to persuade Qinglan. Anyway, you already have Xinhua Xinyu, so let's leave it as it is. Don't ask for any more. "

Sheng Xiping was also unsure, so he could only sigh and said, "Okay, I'll find a car right away." After that, he hurried out.

Coincidentally, the processing plant happened to be transporting wood down, and Sheng Xiping followed the truck down.

It was already past 04:30 in the afternoon when he arrived at the Forest Railway Station. Sheng Xiping went straight to Zhou's house. When he arrived at Zhou's house, there was no one at home and there was a lock on the door.

Just after standing at the door for a while, he saw Zhou Mingyuan coming back carrying vegetables.

"Dad." Sheng Xiping stepped forward and reached out to take what Zhou Mingyuan was holding.

Zhou Mingyuan looked at Sheng Xiping. He didn't seem surprised and had no expression on his face. He just nodded, then took out the key and opened the door.

Weng and son-in-law entered the house one after another and sat in the kitchen picking vegetables.

"Dad, um..." Sheng Xiping opened his mouth, wanting to say something.

"Old Zhou, is Xiping here?" Just at this time, Wang Chunxiu pushed the car into the courtyard and shouted into the house.

Sheng Xiping dropped the food in his hand and hurriedly came out of the kitchen, "Mom." He went over and helped Wang Chunxiu put up the bicycle.

Wang Chunxiu was the same, with no expression on his face. He glanced at Sheng Xiping, nodded, and went into the house.

None of the three said anything, and silently prepared the food and put it on the table.

"Qinglan called me in the afternoon, and I called your dad again. Then I called your processing plant, and they told me that you came down in the car."

Wang Chunxiu served Sheng Xiping a bowl of rice, placed it in front of him, and then spoke.

"You two, I'm convinced too, you're really going to create problems for us."

Wang Chunxiu sighed. He couldn't just blame his uncle for this matter. The child couldn't be born alone. His daughter was not happy, so she got pregnant with the child?

"Qinglan wants this child dead or alive. What about you, Xiping? What do you think?"

It was difficult for Zhou Mingyuan, a father, to ask about these matters, so Wang Chunxiu could only ask them.

"Mom, if this was about other things, I would definitely listen to Qinglan, but this matter really cannot be left to her own whim." Sheng Xiping sighed and said.

"We don't have much at home. If we really care about it, at worst I won't have a job anymore. It doesn't matter.

But Qinglan can't do it. She's in school. If she's pregnant and has a baby, will there be any punishment from the school?
Another one, she is about to be assigned a job after graduation, shouldn't this delay her work?

Another thing, you and my dad, especially my dad, he is the leader of the bureau and should be leading by example, but his daughter is going to have three children?

If this spreads out, it will have a bad impact on my dad. "

No wonder Sheng Xiping thinks too much, he has actually seen too much. In the next few years, magical things can really happen.

It's not worth it to cause the whole family to go into all kinds of chaos for the sake of a child.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife found out from their daughter that Sheng Xiping did not want this child, and they had long been mentally prepared for this.

But after hearing Sheng Xiping's words, the couple felt a little moved. Unexpectedly, my uncle was thinking about so much, even thinking about their situation.

"Xiping, in fact, Qinglan's work has almost been arranged.

Hasn’t our bureau been planning to build a high school? It has been built just beside the firewood road leading to Xijiang River. Our senior high school will officially open in September this year.

After the establishment of high schools, the high schools in various forest farms will be merged, and students will be unified to study in the bureau high schools. "Over there, Zhou Mingyuan spoke slowly.

“The establishment of a new school is exactly when a large number of teachers are needed. Not only do they have to be drawn from various forest farm schools, but they also have to accept a large number of graduates from normal colleges.

The bureau has already sent a report to the higher authorities, requesting that among the undergraduate and junior college students graduating this year from the normal education major, outstanding graduates should be selected to teach.

Qinglan passed the forestry oral examination and is a student of Northeast Normal University. Don't worry about this. Even if your father and I compete with others, we must win Qinglan back and let her work as a teacher at the Bureau High School. "

Zhou Mingyuan looked up at Sheng Xiping and said decisively.

Sheng Xiping was immediately stunned, Pine Forest High School? Yes, Pine Forest High School, how could he forget this problem?

Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is a provincial state-owned enterprise. In these years, the status of the Forestry Bureau is very high.

Songlin High School is a company-run school. Regardless of salary and benefits, it is much better than local high schools, even better than County No. [-] Middle School.

It would be great if Zhou Qinglan could return to Songlin High School to teach. It would be a hundred times better than her returning to Maekawa to teach.

"Dad, is this possible? Can Qinglan really become a teacher in our high school?" Sheng Xiping was a little worried. Is this feasible?

"The principal of our forest farm school kept shouting about coming and going, saying that he still wanted Qinglan to go back to teach."

"Bah, what he thinks is beautiful. Qinglan is a student of Northeast Normal University, teaching primary and secondary schools in a small valley? Is he dreaming?"

Zhou Mingyuan snorted and curled his lips.

"Our Qinglan has such good grades and is excellent both in character and academics. I don't know how many schools are rushing to get her. How can it be your Qianchuan Forest Farm's turn?
For students from Tonghua Normal University or Hunjiang Normal University, it would be good if they could be assigned to a forestry farm. Wang Junsheng is still thinking about my daughter. What the heck does he want to do? "

"If I hadn't reported to the province early for the sake of you two and pressed for someone over and over again, Qinglan would have been snatched away by those high schools in the province."

Zhou Mingyuan put a lot of thought into his daughter and uncle.

Zhou Qinglan graduated from Northeast Normal University and will develop well no matter which school he goes to teach.

But Sheng Xiping couldn't do it. He was just a forestry worker. Even though he was living like a fish in water at Qianchuan Forestry Farm, what future would he have if he really left the forestry entrance?
Young couples cannot live apart in two places all the time, as time will definitely cause trouble.

So Zhou Mingyuan thought about it and discussed it with Wang Chunxiu for a long time before making a decision.

"When Qinglan graduates and starts working at our bureau's high school, I will think of a way to transfer you from the forest farm to the bureau.

It just so happens that the house where your brother got married is still vacant, so you two can live there temporarily.

After a year or two, you can either buy it or build it yourself, and we can make other arrangements.

For the sake of your children's future, you should move out of Maekawa as soon as possible. That place is really remote. "

Zhou Mingyuan had already made plans for Sheng Xiping. He originally wanted to wait until Zhou Qinglan's work was completed, but now, he could only inform Sheng Xiping in advance.

In the spring of last year, after Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie held their wedding, it wasn't long before Zhou Qingyang returned from leave.

Afterwards, Zhou Qingyang was transferred to another place to be stationed. Through the joint efforts of the Zhou family and the Chen family, Chen Jie's work was also transferred to a military hospital there.

Last winter, Chen Jie gave birth to the third-generation grandson of the Zhou family. Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu became grandparents.

Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie have already settled in other places, and the new wedding house at home is empty.

Zhou Qingyang originally said that he would let his parents live there instead of living in the small shabby bungalow at this end, but Zhou Mingyuan was used to living here, mainly because it was close to the bureau building, so he never moved.

Just in time, Sheng Xiping and his wife can stay temporarily, and then they can buy a house after they calm down.

"Dad, Mom, is this okay?" Sheng Xiping scratched his head. He really didn't expect that his father-in-law and mother-in-law had such long-term plans for their couple.

Moved from Maekawa Forest Farm? This is not impossible, the forest farm seems to be prosperous now, but how many years can this prosperity last?

Starting next year, the provincial government will issue a document to classify the [-] hectares of forest land in the Songjiang River Forestry Bureau's operation area into the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve.

Timber production activities in the protected area must be stopped as soon as possible and personnel must be evacuated as soon as possible.

As a result, the logging areas of Qianchuan, Shengli, Ma'anshan and other forest farms have been directly reduced.

Especially in Qianchuan Forestry Farm, the forest area within its jurisdiction has shrunk seriously, which directly affects timber production.

Because Wang Junsheng and Zheng Xianyong kept telling them to come and go wherever they wanted, and Sheng Xiping didn't understand this, he really thought that Zhou Qinglan would most likely return to Qianchuan to teach in the future.

The couple both work in Maekuan, and Sheng Liancheng has not retired, so Sheng Xiping has no plans to move out for the time being.

He originally thought that in a few years, after Sheng Liancheng retired and Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu went to school, he would save money and move out from Maekuan.

At that time, the middle schools in various forest farms were also merged into Songlin No. [-] Middle School. It is estimated that Zhou Qinglan's job will also change.

They took the opportunity to move out from Maekuan and buy a spacious house in Songjianghe. It happened that their two children were studying and Sheng Liancheng and his wife were taking care of themselves. But if Zhou Qinglan's job was not in Maekuan from the beginning, then he would really have to consider moving out.

After all, Songjianghe has a good geographical location and has development prospects. It doesn't cost much to buy a house now, so it's really a good deal.

Moreover, both the teaching level and the medical conditions in the bureau are much better than those in the forestry farm.

Whether it’s for the children or the elderly at home, moving out is a matter of time, so it’s better to move out sooner rather than later.

"Why not? You work hard and work hard. It's normal for me to be transferred from the forest farm.

Then Qinglan can't teach here and have to go to Maekawa on Sundays, right? How can anyone live like this? I definitely need to bring you two together. "

Zhou Mingyuan waved his hand and said indifferently.

This is so normal that the leaders of the unit should consider it. How can there be any reason for husband and wife to always be separated?

"Oh, thank you so much, Dad. It doesn't matter where you work. As long as the family is well, I have no other ideas."

Although Zhou Mingyuan said it very plainly, Sheng Xiping knew that it was not easy to transfer work.

Everyone knows that the bureau is good, and they all want to move to the bureau.

Without Zhou Mingyuan taking care of this team, it would not be easy for Sheng Xiping to be transferred to the bureau.

"No, Dad, we are talking about Qinglan's pregnancy. Why are you talking about changing jobs and moving?"

Sheng Xiping then thought about it and felt something was wrong.

He came here today to persuade Zhou Mingyuan and his wife to persuade Zhou Qinglan not to have children. Why is this topic getting further and further away?
"Isn't that true? You don't have to worry about Qinglan's work. As for the school, whether there is punishment or not, that's all.

Many of them in this generation are married, so what? We are a legitimate couple, why don't we let them have children? "

On the other end, Wang Chunxiu spoke.

"Qinglan told me when she called me that she didn't have many classes in the second semester of her senior year. She mainly focused on preparing for her graduation thesis and some exams.

She really wants to keep this child. If she doesn't want it now, she's afraid she won't have the chance to have it in the future. "

Wang Chunxiu sighed. As a mother, she could understand her daughter very well. After all, she was her own flesh and blood, connected by blood. How could she let go of her?
"As for your father and I, you think too much. This matter has nothing to do with us." Wang Chunxiu smiled nonchalantly.

"We just wanted to scare you on purpose, mainly to see what you think.

It's okay. You are very considerate. You always think about Qinglan and us. It means Qinglan has seen you right.

Okay, let's eat quickly. Your mother said that she would take a leave in a few days to go to the provincial capital to see Qinglan and accompany her for a check-up.

As long as everything is normal with the child, you can take it. You two are not young anymore, and you don’t know what the policy will be in the future.

Now that you have it, you should keep it. At most, it will take a few years of hard work, and it will be fine when the child goes to nursery school. "

The older generation all hopes for a prosperous family, and Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Mingyuan are no exception.

Since the daughter is determined to want it, they can't force her to come. Everyone lends their hands to help. It will be easy to talk about it when the child grows up in a few years.

Sheng Xiping still had some doubts in his heart.

After all, he has lived his whole life again, has experienced some things, and knows the pros and cons involved.

But the father-in-law, mother-in-law and the others had never experienced it and didn’t know what was going on, so Sheng Xiping couldn’t say much.

Okay, since we all agree, let's stay. If anything happens in the future, he will be responsible.

How can it be fixed? Who said that was his wife or his child?

"Okay, when mom leaves, I'll ask for leave in advance to stay with you."

His wife has a child, why shouldn't he go and see her? You have to go over there and make arrangements, right?

"Okay, let's meet up in two days." Wang Chunxiu agreed with a smile.

Sheng Xiping also felt hungry at this moment, so he didn't care about that and just licked the food to fill his stomach.

The next day, Sheng Xiping took the car back to Maekuan and explained the situation to his parents.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were very moved when they learned that the couple had such long-term plans.

Hearing that Sheng Xiping was going to the provincial capital in the next few days, Zhang Shuzhen told him to bring more money and arrange things properly for Zhou Qinglan, but don't make any mistakes.

Two days later, Wang Chunxiu called and said she was taking leave.

So, the couple got on the train and headed to the provincial capital. When they arrived at the provincial capital, they accompanied Zhou Qinglan to the hospital for a check-up.

After making sure that both Zhou Qinglan and the fetus were in good condition and there were no major problems, I felt relieved.

After that, Sheng Xiping approached Chen Ruiqing and asked him to come forward to find the deans and tutors of relevant departments in the school, invite them out for a meal, and ask them to take proper care of Zhou Qinglan.

Pregnancy is very difficult for women, especially Zhou Qinglan who has to study and her husband is not around to take care of her, so she can only ask the people around her to take appropriate care of her.

You can't hide this matter even if you want to. It will be revealed sooner or later, so it's better to talk about it early in the morning.

The school is informed in advance, so if anything happens, it can be handled promptly to avoid being passive.

Fortunately, the control is not that strict at this time, and everyone can get by if they just turn a blind eye.

If it takes another two years, who would dare to help hide it? If you don't report it, you will be punished.

Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping were a legal couple, and it was normal for them to get pregnant and give birth to children. This was not just messing around in school.

Furthermore, Zhou Qinglan's job was basically confirmed. The receiving unit didn't say anything, and the school didn't want to be troublesome, so it acquiesced.

Sheng Xiping and Wang Chunxiu stayed in the provincial capital for a few days. They were relieved to see that Zhou Qinglan was in good condition and had no reaction.

Wang Chunxiu was busy with work and couldn't take a long leave, so he stayed in the provincial capital for two or three days before heading back.

Sheng Xiping had nothing to do. This season was the time when the family was busy with their work. The processing factory was on holiday and all the employees went to the mountains to earn income.

Before leaving, Sheng Xiping told his family that he would stay with Zhou Qinglan in the provincial capital for a while.

Sheng Xiping asked Shao Minzhi for help and wanted to rent a house near the school for Zhou Qinglan to live in.

The school dormitory is too small. It would be inconvenient for Zhou Qinglan to stay in the dormitory even though she is pregnant. It would be best to live out and find someone to take care of her, such as washing clothes, cooking and so on.

In this way, Sheng Xiping can feel more at ease even if he is not here.

Coincidentally, the building assigned to Chen Ruiqing's work unit has been packed up, and they are planning to move soon.

They moved out and the house became empty.

Chen Ruiqing simply discussed it with her work unit and the housing management office, and the house was temporarily given to Zhou Qinglan. After Zhou Qinglan returned home after graduation, the house would be vacated and returned.

As for the person to take care of Zhou Qinglan, Shao Minzhi found one quickly.

It was none other than the Aunt Li who took in their mother and son when Shao Minzhi lived in the Lijiawa Brigade.

Aunt Li had trouble with her eyesight. Later, when Chen Ruiqing and his wife returned to the provincial capital, they took Aunt Li to the city, originally intending to provide for her in her old age.

But Aunt Li was not happy, she didn't want to cause trouble to others.

Later, Chen Ruiqing took Aunt Li to the hospital to check her eyes. After the examination, she found out that Aunt Li had cataracts, which could be cured by surgery.

So Chen Ruiqing paid for it and arranged for Aunt Li to be hospitalized for surgery. Not to mention, the operation was quite successful and Aunt Li could see again.

After Aunt Li's eyes recovered, she returned to the Lijiawa Brigade. In the past few years, Chen Ruiqing and his wife brought things back to see Aunt Li during the holidays.

Aunt Li lives alone in the village, and the house is about to expire.

Shao Minzhi asked someone to send a message, saying that Aunt Li would go to the city to work as a nanny to take care of a pregnant woman.

Aunt Li thought about it. She was helpless in the village and couldn't do much work in the fields. It would be good to go to the city to earn money to support herself.

Just like that, we followed the cart selling vegetables from the village into the city and arrived at the provincial capital.

Aunt Li is now only 56 years old and in pretty good shape. In the past, it was mainly because of my poor eyesight that my life was inconvenient. Now my eyesight is better and I can work diligently and quickly.

As soon as Sheng Xiping saw that it was okay, he left Aunt Li to take care of Zhou Qinglan, take care of food and housing, and gave Aunt Li 20 yuan a month.

Sheng Xiping stayed with Zhou Qinglan in the provincial capital for more than half a month. After settling everything here, he set off to go home.

By the time he got home, it was already June [-]th and the season of cow hair had passed. Sheng Liancheng started to go up the mountain to dig gastrodia elata.

Just as some orders came in from Hou Yashuang, the processing plant restarted and became busy.

A few days later, Sheng Xitai and the others went to Songjianghe to take the high school entrance examination. When they came back after the exam, the boy was considered liberated.

Unfortunately, before he could let himself go, Sheng Liancheng dug him out of his bed early the next morning after returning home and went to work in the fields with a hoe.

The four or five acres of my own land are all small pieces of wasteland. There is a lot of grass in the land. If I don't take care of it diligently, what crops will grow?
"Sixth, are you tired from work?"

At noon, the two men were shoveling the ground under the bright sun. While working, Sheng Liancheng asked his old son.

"I'm tired. I'm so tired. I've only been working all morning. My back hurts and my hands are blistered."

As the youngest member of the family, when has Sheng Xitai ever experienced such hardship? This morning was tiring and hot, and Sheng Xitai felt like he was being burned by the sun.

"It's okay to be tired. If you don't study hard, you will have to do this in the future.

Look at your second and third brothers. If they go to college and have jobs in the future, they can sit in offices. Do you understand? "Sheng Liancheng said this deliberately.

"Dad, I understand. Don't worry, I will definitely study hard."

Sheng Xitai looked at his hands and secretly swore in his heart that no matter what, he had to go to college with his head bowed, and he didn't want to stay here and work hard.
