Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 432 Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou

Sisters Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei had good college entrance examination scores. Sheng Yunfang was admitted to Shanghai University of Finance and Economics, and Sheng Yunfei was admitted to Sun Yat-sen University.

Now, the children of the Sheng family have occupied all the areas from the north to the south.

Before the notice arrived, the school received the news first, and the principal happily sent someone to report the news.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were dumbfounded when they heard this.

The two of them were not very educated, so they couldn't give their children any advice when filling out their application forms. They had to rely on the school teachers for reference.

At this time, I heard that the schools the two girls were admitted to, one was in Shanghai and the other was in Yangcheng, both of which were far away from home.

Especially for the school where Sheng Yunfei was admitted, it was almost like running from the north to the south. The couple was worried at that time.

"What does this kid think? Why did he get admitted to a school so far away?

How long will it take to get home this time? It will only take five or six days on the road, right? " Zhang Shuzhen muttered in confusion.

"Oh, it's useless to say anything now. My child finally got into college and the notice has arrived.

I heard people say that this school is pretty good, just as far away as possible. What can be done about it? "

Sheng Liancheng also sighed. He originally thought that the school his two sons would go to was quite far away, but these two daughters were even more powerful, traveling thousands of miles away in one go.

If I leave it there to find a partner and get married in the future, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back for a few years.

"No matter where the children are, as long as they have a promising future and live a good life in the future.

Let's not imitate those who are not clear-headed. In order to make things easier for ourselves in the future, we have to bring our children with us. "Sheng Liancheng advised Zhang Shuzhen.

As a married couple, Dekui Sheng is quite open-minded, not rigid and ignorant.

Although the two of them did not understand that their children were admitted to a school so far away, they did not do anything else and silently prepared the children.

The news that both daughters of the Sheng family were admitted to college soon spread throughout the forest farm and Dashianchang village. When most people heard the news, they were happy for the Sheng family.

"Where do you think the ancestral grave of Lao Sheng's family is buried? Why are his children so successful?

In other people's families, one college student is fine, but in their family, there are four. This is really true. How do they educate their children? "

Of course, there are those who are envious and admiring, and there are those who are jealous and resentful.

"Every girl, what's the use of going to college? Isn't she going to get married in the future?

Her mother's family worked hard to support her through schooling, and she got a good job, then she married into someone else's family and contributed to them.

I really don’t know what the Lao Sheng family is thinking. The girl is being pawned as a treasure, just to support her through high school? What university are you going to? It's a waste. "

No matter what is said outside, the Sheng family is happy anyway.

Facing the guests who came to congratulate them, Sheng Liancheng and his wife smiled from ear to ear.

"Well, your mother and I have discussed it, and our family won't have a banquet this time.

There have been a lot of things going on in our family in the past few years, and it’s not easy to just celebrate with a drink.

Your school is too far away from home, so let's keep the money we save as pocket money for you two. Take a look, is this okay? "

During the day, everyone asked when the Sheng family would serve wine, but Sheng Liancheng and his wife only said that they wanted to discuss it with their children, so in the evening, the family sat down to discuss it.

“Dad, the fourth and fifth children finally got into college, why don’t we have a drink to celebrate, okay?

After my son passed the exam, there was a big feast, but after my daughter passed the exam, there was no news at all. People shouldn’t say that we favor sons over daughters, right? "

Sheng Xiping held Sheng Xinyu in his arms and said after thinking for a moment.

"That's right, Dad, I don't think this is a good idea either." On the other side, Sheng Xian, who was about to return to school, also spoke.

Sheng Xi'an, who is about to graduate in half a year, has already been admitted to the school as a graduate student.

These days, people who graduate with a bachelor's degree are very good, and they can usually be assigned very good jobs.

Graduate students are all trained in the direction of experts. If they succeed in their studies in the future, it will be great.

At first, Sheng Liancheng and his wife couldn't understand why they had to study for three more years without being able to work after studying for four years.

You are so old and you are still studying. How can you marry a wife in your life?
  Later, Sheng Xiping explained to his parents that Sheng Xi'an's personality was more suitable for research.

If you really succeed in any field, you will be a scientist in the future, and your job will definitely be good, and it will be better than having an undergraduate degree.

With Sheng Xiping's persuasion, Sheng Liancheng and his wife felt relieved.

Forget it, the child can study if he likes to study. If he can really succeed in studying, he won't have to worry about finding a wife.

"No, that's not what it said.

Boss, in the past two years, you have followed your elder brother and they have been pouring wood and fruit, and you have made a lot of money.

Although our family doesn't tell anyone about it, others can still inquire about it if they are interested.

Now the fourth and fifth children are all admitted to college. There are six of you brothers and sisters, and four of them are college students.

Our family seems to be prosperous now, but secretly many people are jealous.

Our family doesn't want to be high-profile at the moment. The more careful we are, the better. We can't make a big deal out of anything. "

Zhang Shuzhen shook her head. They had experienced too many things in their lives and had seen all kinds of storms. They were careful not to make big mistakes.

"Your wife is pregnant with a child now and will give birth in winter. If she brings the child back in the future, she doesn't know what kind of trouble she will cause.

For now, just calm down if you can. "

"Well, brother, our parents are right.

Whether there is wine or not, it's just a formality. If we don't go through this formality, we will still go to school.

Now that you have a job, you can't always go hunting and fishing like before. Our pigs were killed in the spring.

Nowadays, if you want to hold a banquet, you have to spend money to buy it. There is no money for it. "Sheng Yunfang spoke over there.

"Yes, yes, my fourth sister is right. Besides, I don't have time to do anything.

Our school is quite far away, so we have to leave a few more days on the way. We still have a lot of procedures to complete, so we may not be in a hurry.

Besides, the second brother, the third brother and the sister-in-law are not at home, so there is no point in having a banquet, so just save it.

My sister-in-law is going to have her third child soon, and there will be a lot of money to spend in the future. "Sheng Yunfei nodded repeatedly, agreeing with her sister's opinion.

For their sisters, it would be great if they could get into college and study successfully.

“Among our classmates, many girls go home to work after graduating from junior high school and get married directly after a few years.

It would be great if we can still go to university and get out of this mountainous valley to study and live in big cities outside.

Dad, Mom, eldest brother, second brother, we are quite content, really. "

The two girls are very sensible and know that it is not easy at home. To be able to raise six children safely, the efforts of their parents are beyond their imagination.

Now that they are going to college and will have a better future, they should be grateful and not add unnecessary burdens to their families.

“Okay, since you said so, then it’s okay.

I'll bring you some more money later. Don't let others look down on you when you go to a big city.

Let’s not say that we are competing with others for food and clothing. The place should not be too shabby or rustic. "It's just two sisters, why don't you feel more pain?

"Okay, thank you, brother." The two girls laughed in unison.

"Brother, you have to take us to school this time. It's too far and we haven't even been there." The two girls began to act coquettishly.

"Tch, it's too far to think about it now? Why didn't you two think about this when you first applied for a volunteer?"

Sheng Xiping didn't know much about filling in the application form, so he only made some comments and didn't interfere with anything else.

He also didn't expect that his two sisters could apply for a school so far away and actually get admitted.

No matter whether it is Shanghai or Yangcheng, they are both good places with huge room for future development.

If the two girls can stand firm now, they will definitely not have to worry about the future.

The family had a good discussion and then spread the news. They just said that the registration time was too late and there was no time to treat guests. Therefore, the two girls were admitted to college and the Sheng family did not accept gifts or hold banquets.

When the news spread, the forest farms had mixed reactions.

As expected, some secretly disparaged the Sheng family, saying that the Sheng family favored sons over daughters, just as Sheng Xiping had guessed.

The son would throw a big banquet after passing the exam, but the daughter would show no sign after passing the exam.

Some sensible people said that hosting a banquet costs a lot of money. The Sheng family has failed several exams in the past few years, so they can't celebrate every time.

It was right to save some money. After all, Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang were already old and would have to marry a wife and have children in the future.

Another day later, it was time for Sheng Xi'an to return to school and he left in the car.

Two days later, the bureau called, saying that the admission notice had arrived, and asked sisters Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei to pick it up.

Sheng Xiping accompanied his two sisters to get the notice and completed all the necessary procedures.

On September [-]nd, Sheng Xiping, who took a leave of absence from the forest farm, took his two sisters on a study trip to a foreign country.

The three of them took a train from Songjianghe to Tonghua, then reversed from Tonghua to the capital, and then took a train from the capital to Shanghai.

This time they had notices in hand and could buy tickets without a letter of introduction, so the journey went smoothly.

After arriving in Shanghai, I accompanied Sheng Yunfang to go through the enrollment procedures.

After settling in, Sheng Xiping went to visit Sister Hui, Xiao Peng and others.

Over the years, Sheng Xiping and Sister Hui have maintained correspondence.

Sister Hui's job has been transferred back to Shanghai from northern Xinjiang, and her family's old house is also coming back. Now she works as a quality inspector in a factory.

Sheng Xiping brought Sister Hui a basswood vegetable dumpling, as well as some Gastrodia elata, fungus and other things. Weiwei has grown up a lot and is very kind to Sheng Xiping when he sees her.

When she learned that Sheng Xiping's sister had been admitted to a university in Shanghai, Sister Hui was also very happy. She kept telling Sheng Yunfang to come to her home when she had free time, and to come to her no matter what difficulties she encountered.

In the evening, Sister Hui and her lover hosted the three brothers and sisters Sheng Xiping for dinner. It was quite lively with everyone talking and laughing together. Sheng Yunfang was well settled, but Sheng Yunfei was still in a hurry to report, so the brother and sister couldn't stay in Shanghai for long, so they got on the train to Yangcheng the next day.

The trains are really slow these days. After a day and a half of banging and banging, we finally arrived at Yangcheng, the forefront of reform and opening up.

When I got off the car, I saw a completely different scenery from the Northeast.

At this season, the autumn wind in the Northeast is already very cold, and the leaves on the trees are beginning to turn yellow.

But in Yangcheng, the weather is still as hot as the dog days of summer, and green plants and bright flowers can be seen everywhere on the roadside.

Those plants are different from those in the north. There seems to be a layer of wax on the leaves, which are shiny and beautiful.

The school has a special reception desk for welcoming new students at the station. Sheng Xiping led his sister to the reception desk. After taking out the admission notice for confirmation, a dedicated person was responsible for sending the Sheng brothers and sisters to the school.

Sun Yat-sen University has a long history and is also a famous old school. Needless to say, the school environment is excellent.

Under the guidance of the reception staff, Sheng Yunfei successfully completed the admission procedures and was assigned a dormitory.

After Sheng Yunfei settled in, Sheng Xiping could breathe a sigh of relief, so he stayed in a hotel near the school for one night and accompanied Sheng Yunfei to buy some daily necessities the next day.

"Okay, now that you've settled in school, I'm relieved.

Before going out, I told Uncle Zheng that I wanted to take a walk and check out various places, so I wouldn't stay with you here.

Just go to school with peace of mind and study hard. If anything is missing, just write letters, make phone calls, or send telegrams.

The winter here is said to be warm. I guess you won't get used to it in the first year you come here. Remember to pack some clothes then so you don't get sick. "

Sheng Xiping babbled uneasily for a long time, then watched his sister walk into the campus, and then turned around and left.

Sheng Xiping always said that he wanted to visit the south, but he never had the chance.

This time I took the opportunity to send my sister to school, so I could look around.

Of course, there was no point wandering around aimlessly like him. He had to find someone familiar with the place to guide him. Sheng Xiping was well prepared for this.

Some of the timber customers he has dealt with in the past two years have their contact information in their hands.

And when there was a lumber ordering meeting in the spring, he also left the addresses and phone numbers of many lumber companies.

Among them are people from Yangcheng.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping took out the phone book he carried with him and looked through it to find the phone number of a customer he had contacted recently whose address was in Yangcheng.

Then I found a public phone and called the other party.

The other party was quite surprised when he received a call from Sheng Xiping.

As soon as he heard that Sheng Xiping was in Yangcheng, he immediately told Sheng Xiping to stay still while he came to pick him up.

"Oh, Director Sheng, why didn't you call me in advance when you came to Yangcheng? I understand. I will pick you up at the station."

The other party drove over in a car. When he saw Sheng Xiping, he came up to shake hands and say hello very enthusiastically.

"I'm sending my sister here to study. I just remembered Mr. Wu, so I gave him a call." Sheng Xiping smiled and stretched out his right hand to shake his hand.

"Director Sheng's sister comes to study? Which school is she in?"

Mr. Wu is the general manager of Lihua Timber Management Company. He met him during the timber ordering meeting and had a good chat with Sheng Xiping.

Because it was an individual company, there were not many orders at the order meeting, so Mr. Wu later contacted Sheng Xiping privately, and Sheng Xiping helped him get wood twice.

Therefore, Mr. Wu was quite cordial when he met Sheng Xiping.

"Oh, Sun Yat-sen University, I just passed the exam this year." Sheng Xiping smiled and reported the name of the school where his sister went.

“Oh, that’s a very good school here, with a long history, it’s been there for decades, it’s an old brand.

Your sister is amazing. Students from our province also need to be very top-notch to pass the exam. "When Mr. Wu heard this, he praised the Sheng sister again.

"Director Sheng, please get in the car and let's talk somewhere else. It's rare for you to come to Yangcheng. No matter what, you have to give me a chance to fulfill my friendship as a landlord."

Mr. Wu politely invited Sheng Xiping to get in the car, and then found a hotel.

Sheng Xiping was well prepared before going out and brought a lot of Northeastern specialties with him. For example, ginseng, deer antler, Ganoderma lucidum, immortal grass, snow clam oil, etc.

After arriving at the hotel, Sheng Xiping took out a box from the large backpack he was carrying, which contained ginseng slices, deer antler slices, Ganoderma lucidum and other things.

"Mr. Wu, I came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with me. This is a specialty of the Northeast, ginseng, deer antler, and Ganoderma lucidum tablets.

It’s great to keep for soaking in wine or making soup. It’s a great tonic. Be careful, Mr. Wu, please don’t dislike it. "

Sheng Xiping smiled and pushed the box in front of Mr. Wu.

People here like to make soup, and they are particularly fond of ginseng, so when he heard Sheng Xiping's words, Mr. Wu's eyes suddenly lit up and he happily took the box.

"Director Sheng, you are too polite to bring a gift from such a long distance."

Mr. Wu entertained Sheng Xiping warmly and treated Sheng Xiping to local specialties. After the meal, he had to arrange for Sheng Xiping to stay in a hotel.

Sheng Xiping rejected Mr. Wu's kindness and still stayed in the original hotel.

I just mentioned it to Mr. Wu that he wanted to take a look around Yangcheng, especially the companies related to wood processing. He wanted to see it.

So in the next two days, Sheng Xiping, accompanied by Mr. Wu, first went to the factories affiliated to Lihua Timber Management Company, and then visited some furniture factories, wood processing plants and other places.

I have some understanding of the demand for lumber in the South.

During the chat, Sheng Xiping mentioned that he wanted to go to the newly established special zone to see what a special zone was.

In fact, Sheng Xiping went to Shencheng in his previous life, and it was already very prosperous at that time.

He just wanted to see what Shen City, which had just started to be built, looked like now.

Mr. Wu didn't refuse, but because his company had something to do, he helped Sheng Xiping go through the relevant procedures, and arranged for a driver to take Sheng Xiping around the special zone.

The special zone was officially established in August last year, but in [-], a group of entrepreneurs from China Merchants Group boldly explored here and established the Shekou Development Zone, which can be regarded as a pilot window for the special zone.

At this time, Shenzhen City did not have the high-rise buildings and bustling neighborhoods of later generations. Most of them were factories, and many companies from foreign countries and Hong Kong cities came to set up factories.

When the driver drove Sheng Xiping to wander on the streets of Shekou, Sheng Xiping inadvertently saw several tall tin metal cans standing on the north side of the road.

"Xiao Li, what is that over there?"

The driver glanced north and said, "Oh, that's the corn storage bin of a feed mill.

That feed factory is a foreign company. They import corn from abroad and then transport it here through the port city. It seems to be processed into feed and then exported. "

The driver didn't know much about these things, he had only heard them mentioned by others.

Sheng Xiping nodded and didn't ask any more questions. After that, the driver took Sheng Xiping around here for a few more times and returned to Yangcheng in the afternoon.

After returning to Yangcheng, Sheng Xiping expressed his gratitude to the driver and then returned to the hotel to rest.

He has been out for a long time, so he can't keep delaying here. It's time to start back.

Of course, when you come to Yangcheng, you have to buy something. Many products here are free of charge. How can you miss the good things?
  So Sheng Xiping went to the station to buy a return ticket the next day, and then did some shopping in Yangcheng.

Because it is close to the port city, the clothes here are more fashionable. If you come here, you have to bring a few pieces for your family.

You can buy everything from jeans, cardigans, and bakery clothes.

That jacket is actually a down jacket.

However, the workmanship of the down jackets of this era is a little rough, and they are afraid of not keeping warm, so they have to stuff the inside with all their strength, causing the down jackets to bulge like bread, so people call them bread jackets.

Sheng Xiping estimated that the down contained in one bread jacket today could fill three down jackets in future generations.

Seriously speaking, this thing is too uncomfortable to wear in the forest farm, because the forest farm is really too cold in winter, and this thing can't keep up with the wind and keep warm as a big cotton-padded jacket.

But for people like Zhou Qinglan and Wang Chunxiu, they can wear them for work and so on. They are light and not as heavy as big cotton-padded jackets.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping bought one for his daughter-in-law, mother-in-law, and his sixth son, Sheng Xitai.

Lao Liu has already gone to study in Songjianghe. He wears a bun suit in school, which is light and fashionable.

Even though they are students, it is inevitable to compare each other. The students in the bureau look down on those from the forest farm and think they are bumpkins from the ditch.

Sheng Xiping loved his younger brother and naturally didn't want the old boy to be discriminated against, so he bought Sheng Xitai some bread clothes and jeans.

In addition to these, Sheng Xiping also liked a camera, a Seagull brand, priced at [-] yuan.

Five hundred yuan was equivalent to half a year's salary of Sheng Xiping, but he had been thinking about this thing for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and bought one.

Sheng Xiping did a lot of shopping in Yangcheng, and finally walked back with large and small packages.

Going back from Yangcheng is not the way you came. Instead, you go directly from Yangcheng to the capital, then reverse from the capital to Tonghua, and then back to Songjiang River from Tonghua.

This road consisted of driving and reversing. After five or six days, we finally reached Songjiang River.

Sheng Xiping had brought things for his father-in-law and mother-in-law, and they had to be sent there, so he was delayed for another day in Songjiang River.

Zhou Mingyuan had already heard about Sheng Xiping buying a house in Songjianghe from the staff of the housing management department. When he met Sheng Xiping, he had to give him a few words.

"You, you, your idea is real. Your mother and I have told you that you can live in the house on the corner first.

It would be better for you not to discuss it with us and buy a house by yourself first.

I heard that I bought it for one thousand two thousand? But it's not cheap. "

“Dad, I don’t mean anything else, mainly because our family has a large population.

Qinglan was born just before winter, and there are only five people in our family.

My sixth child lives in a dormitory now, so if we come down, we can't let him live in the dormitory and eat in the canteen, right?
  Qinglan and I both have to go to work, so someone has to take care of the kids, right? My mom and dad had to come with me.

The house on the corner building is just big enough for a family of four, but it can't be accommodated for any more. "What can Sheng Xiping do? He can only explain with a smile.

Zhou Mingyuan was right when he thought about it. Currently, the four children of the Sheng family are attending college outside, and the youngest is studying at Songlin High School.

If Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan moved their children to Songjiang River, wouldn't they abandon Sheng Liancheng and his wife?
  Qianchuan Forestry Farm is such a remote place, and Sheng Liancheng and his wife are getting older and older. How can they be left alone in the forestry farm?

If you calculate it this way, the house on the corner building is indeed not enough.
