Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 438 For Children
  Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were reluctant to part with the tiger, and they cried and cried for a long time before they were able to comfort him.

It was getting late, and the two children were tired from crying, so Zhang Shuzhen coaxed them to sleep, while the others took a rest after a tiring day.

On the morning of the [-]th, there was a palm-thick snow outside, and the Sheng brothers quickly got up to clear the snow.

As soon as I opened the door, I saw two deer at the door and several large plum blossom-shaped footprints.

Needless to say, this must have been sent back last night by Huahua and her son.

"Quick, drag the deer back."

There were two deer, one male and one female. They only had wounds on their necks, but were otherwise intact. Their body temperature was still there. They must have been delivered not long ago.

The brothers quickly dragged the deer into the yard, cleared a random area, and then disemboweled and skinned the deer.

When I was picking up the doe, I discovered that there was still a deer fetus in the deer's belly.

This is a good thing. Combined with medicinal materials to make deer fetus ointment, it can treat many gynecological diseases, especially infertility caused by uterine cold. The effect is very significant.

Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xian took care of the two deer, while Sheng Xikang and Sheng Xitai went to clear the snow.

After they had tidied up everything outside, Zhang Shuzhen also made breakfast and invited the children to come inside to eat.

The two deer were quite big and had quite a lot of meat. They were carried into the house in big pots.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw the meat, she couldn't help but sigh, "This Huahua is so considerate than anyone else. Yesterday she brought roe deer and today she brings deer.

Venison is a good thing, and it is just in time to replenish Qinglan's body. "

Zhou Qinglan had given birth to two children this time, and her body was seriously weak. After returning home, Zhang Shuzhen always cooked food for her in different ways, so that she could nourish her body and avoid the root cause of the disease.

Knowing that Huahua was sending something back this morning, Sheng Xinhua stopped crying and making trouble this time.

Taking his younger brother, they had breakfast happily and ran out to play.

These two boys now have many playmates, not only the boys from the Liu family, but also the children from Chen Weiguo, Gao Haining, and Wang Jianshe.

These children have been playing together since they were young, and they have a very good relationship. They cheer to a lot of people all day long, and no one dares to bully them when they go out to play.

On New Year's Eve, every household is busy posting couplets, hanging lanterns, and making delicious food.

The Sheng family was no exception. Except for the two who ran out to play and the Milkman who had just turned one month old on the kang in the west room, everyone was busy.

In the kitchen, there is frying and frying, and all kinds of aromas fill the room.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the reunion dinner was ready. There were more than a dozen dishes and a large table was laid out.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, I'll take two pictures first."

Zhang Shuzhen asked everyone to sit down and eat, but Sheng Xiping quickly waved his hand to stop, then went to the west room and took out his camera.

First, I took a picture of the food on the table, and then asked the family members to gather together and took several pictures in succession.

Such a scene of a big family reunited to celebrate the New Year will definitely be the most precious memory twenty or thirty years later.

In the future, these brothers and sisters will start their own families in different parts of the world. Maybe they can come back and get together once in a few years. Let’s take a few more photos.

"Oh, you just need to take two interesting pictures. Take your time to eat. That film is so expensive, why do you harm it when you have nothing to do?"

Sheng Liancheng couldn't help but frown when he saw his son taking photos with his camera.

Spend five or six hundred yuan on a camera, but instead of doing serious business, what are you doing taking pictures of the food on the table? Isn't the film money? waste.

After his father spoke, Sheng Xiping couldn't continue taking pictures, so he put the camera away and locked it up in the west room cabinet.

Then he went back to the east room and sat down, and the family started eating.

The whole family is reunited, and the table is full of delicious food and rice. At such a time, you must have some drinks.

The Sheng Xiping brothers drank white drinks with Sheng Liancheng, and Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei, and Sheng Xitai drank soda drinks with Zhang Shuzhen.

As for Zhou Qinglan, she can only drink soup. She should not drink anything too cold during breastfeeding, as it can easily hurt the spleen and stomach and cause diarrhea, and the child will suffer as well.

After cooking so many dishes, several stove pits in the house have been burning since morning. The kang burnt my buttocks and made the room very hot.

Everyone was wearing only thin cotton-padded jackets, and their faces were all flushed with happy smiles.

After dark, Sheng Liancheng greeted his son and plugged in the lanterns outside. The red lanterns illuminated the small courtyard, adding a bit of festive joy.

Last autumn, a power station was built at the Baixi Forest Farm to supply electricity to surrounding forest farms and villages.

The Great Alkali Field also received electricity this fall, and it is no longer pitch black at night like in previous years.

At this time, if you stand on the heights of Nanshan and look down, you can see that in the entire valley, every household has lights on, like a sky full of stars.

On New Year's Eve, lights are everywhere, families are reunited, and the smell of gunpowder is in the air.

The new year is coming quietly, bringing new hopes and new expectations to everyone.

When the clock rang at twelve o'clock, Sheng Xiping and his wife went to pay New Year's greetings to Sheng Liancheng and his wife.

"Mom and Dad, happy New Year." Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times, "Grandpa and grandma, happy New Year."

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were sitting on the kang, grinning from ear to ear, "Okay, okay, everything is good. Oh, you two, get up quickly, the ground is cold."

As they spoke, the two took out a stack of red envelopes from their pockets and handed them out one by one.

"This belongs to Xin Yue and Xin Qi. You can keep it for them and give it to them when the children grow up."

Sheng Xiping and his wife have no chance to receive red envelopes now, but since their two daughters are young, they can lead the way.

The remaining few all received red envelopes.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu received the red envelope and jumped with joy, "Thank you, grandparents."

"Take your money carefully and don't spend it carelessly."

During the Chinese New Year, it’s all about having fun and making the children happy. There isn’t much money in the red envelope, but there are some things that need to be told.

Children should cultivate their consumption concept from an early age. They should spend money when they should and should not spend money carelessly.

"Hey, I got it." The two children took the red envelope, carefully put it in their pockets, and ran to play.

After eating dumplings on New Year’s Eve, it’s another new year.

On the first and second day of the lunar month, we would visit relatives and friends, and on the third day of the lunar month, the daughter who has left home should be returning to her parents' home.

On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month two years ago, Zhou Qingyang and his wife came back with their son in their arms.

Zhou Mingyuan called Sheng Xiping, and the two parties discussed it. In the third week of the third lunar month, Qingyang accompanied Chen Jie back to her parents' house for a reunion.

It just so happened that Sheng Xiping had a treat when it was time to treat him. On the sixth day of the first lunar month, the couple went back to Zhou's house and the whole family was reunited.

So, on the fifth day of the first lunar month, the Sheng family served wine and entertained relatives and friends.

Those in the forestry farm who had good relations with the Sheng family, and Liu Changde's side, gathered together, eating, drinking, talking and laughing, and it was quite lively.

Sheng Xiping took out his camera again and took pictures of everyone. The Sheng family also took a family photo together.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife sat in the middle, each holding their two granddaughters. Xinhua Xinyu sat next to his grandparents, and others stood nearby.

Sheng Xiping adjusted the focus and light, taught Liu Yujiang how to press the shutter, and then lit up the flash to record this happy moment.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xiping and his wife took their two daughters, two sons, Sheng Xian and the others by car to Songjiang River.

It is said that this year the bureau will not only have ice lanterns, but also perform Yangko dancing, cultural performances and other programs.

Sheng Xian and others were bored at home, so they simply went to Songjiang River with them.

Sheng Xiping bought a house in Songjianghe and moved a lot of things there this autumn and winter.

Years ago, I took advantage of the opportunity for shipments from the processing factory to transport a lot of firewood and buy pots and pans.

Sheng Xiping also asked his neighbors to help him light a fire every day to prevent the house from freezing.

Even if Sheng Xi'an and the others go down, they still have a place to live, so let's go play.

Originally, Sheng Xiping wanted his parents to go see the house in Songjianghe, but the old couple said that there were chickens and pigs in the house, and there were many things that they couldn't live without.

Moreover, on the eighth day of the lunar month, Sheng Lian Cheng had to go up to the mountains to work and had no time to play.

With his younger brothers and sisters following him, it would not be that troublesome for Mr. and Mrs. Sheng Xiping to take care of their four children.

The two girls slept for more than two hours along the way. Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were quite honest, lying on the car window looking at the scenery outside without making much fuss.

Brothers Zhou Qingyang and Zhou Qingyue had been waiting at the station for a long time. When they saw everyone getting off the bus, they hurriedly stepped forward to greet them.

"Happy New Year to my uncle, Happy New Year to my uncle." Sheng Xinhua, Sheng Xinyu and Sheng Xinyu were both good-natured, and quickly greeted people they met.

"Happy New Year." Zhou Qingyang and Zhou Qingyue each picked up a nephew and said with a smile.

"I'll give you the red envelope when it gets home later. My uncle didn't bring it with him."

Sheng Xiping led his younger brothers and sisters to come over to greet each other.

When Zhou Qingyang saw the Sheng brothers, he was slightly startled, then smiled. "Come on, let's go home together. We just happened to have hired a car."

"Brother, you guys should go home first. I'll take the second brother and them to the house I bought first.

I don’t know if there has been a fire over there recently, so I went over to light a fire and heat up the Kang. "Sheng Xiping smiled and was about to hand over his daughter to Zhou Qingyang.

"How long is it still? Let's go home first, and then go to burn the kang in the afternoon. Our parents are waiting at home."

Regardless of how many people came to the Sheng family, since the New Year's Eve people are here, they have to have a meal together. Whose family can't afford to eat well with these few people?
  Zhou Qingyang insisted that Brother Sheng Xiping couldn't say anything else, so everyone got on the donkey cart and went to the end of Baishan Street together.

Zhou Qingyang and his wife came back to celebrate the New Year with their children in their arms. They must have lived in the corner building. Of course, the whole family spent New Year's Eve in a bungalow.

Knowing that Sheng Xiping and the others were coming back today, Wang Chunxiu and Chen Jie's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law started working early in the morning.

When Sheng Xiping and others came in, the kitchen was steaming with steam and the aroma filled the room.

"Mom and Dad, happy New Year, happy New Year, sister-in-law." Sheng Xiping and his wife entered the house with their children in their arms and greeted everyone in the family first.

Later, the Sheng family brothers and sisters also came forward to say hello and put things on the kang.

When visiting during the Chinese New Year, you can’t go empty-handed, it’s more or less meaning, that’s what it is.

"Dad, Xi'an and the others heard that there are a lot of activities in the bureau this year, so they all wanted to come down and join in the fun. It just so happened that they came over to wish their parents a happy New Year."

Zhou Qinglan put the child on the kang and explained with a smile. "Yes, yes, they are all young people. What are they doing in the forest during the Chinese New Year? How nice would it be to come down and play? It's very lively this year."

Zhou Mingyuan nodded with a smile, "Look, these young and old girls are so rare. All of them have failed."

Seeing this group of energetic young people, Zhou Mingyuan was also very happy. He quickly asked everyone to sit down, then brought out melon seeds, peanuts, candies, and called Zhou Qingyue to make tea.

"Uncle, stop working so hard, this is your family." Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang said quickly.

"It's okay. You guys sit here and keep warm. It's a long way down here in the car. It's cold in the car. I'm afraid you'll be frozen to death. Get on the kang quickly." Zhou Mingyuan warmly greeted everyone to sit on the kang.

Sheng Xi'an and the others had no nerve to take off their shoes and get on the kang, so they just sat on the edge of the kang.

However, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan didn't care about that. They put the child on the kang, followed them and quickly opened the quilt to see the child's condition.

As soon as the bag was opened, the two little babies woke up.

This is usually the case for little babies. They fall asleep when they are in the car and wake up when they get out of the car.

He stretched out his hand and touched it. Oh my god, the diaper was wet, and even the small cotton pants were soaked to the edge.

So I quickly took out the diaper, took off my cotton pants, put on another one, and put on the diaper.

The son of Zhou Qingyang's family, Zhou Chenming, is one year and two months old. He can already walk and is playing on the kang.

Seeing two children smaller than him, the little guy ran closer.

Zhou Qingyang had quick eyes and quick hands and grabbed his son.

"Son, please call aunt or uncle and say happy new year." Zhou Qingyang pointed at Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xiping and taught the children.

"Auntie, uncle, happy new year."

The little guy can now speak some simple words, and all parents and grandparents can speak them.

This was the first time that my aunt and uncle said it. The pronunciation was quite standard, but he couldn't understand the three words.

"Hey, okay, so is Chen Ming. Come, uncle has some good stuff here."

Sheng Xiping waved to Zhou Chenming, motioning him to come to her, then took out a red envelope from his pocket and shook it.

Before coming, Sheng Xiping specially wrapped a red envelope. This was the first time that the couple met Zhou Chenming, so they would definitely give the child a gift.

When Zhou Chenming saw the red envelope in Sheng Xiping's hand, his eyes widened immediately, and he ran up to Sheng Xiping and bowed with his hands clasped together.

This little guy was chubby, and his action was very cute, which made everyone around him laugh.

Sheng Xiping stuffed the red envelope into Zhou Chenming's hand, "Good boy, this is from my aunt and uncle, take it."

In the red envelope, Sheng Xiping included fifty yuan.

"Brother-in-law, how old is he? Why did you give him the red envelope? Zhou Chenming, don't ask for the red envelope from your uncle."

Zhou Qingyang saw it and quickly reached out to stop his son from receiving the red envelope.

Zhou Chenming was probably usually quite afraid of his father, but Zhou Qingyang's words made the child tremble in fright, and he pursed his lips and was about to cry.

"Brother, what are you doing? This is what we give to our children, not to you.

You came back suddenly, and you didn't give us any information in advance. You didn't have time to buy a set of clothes for the child.

I just want to give my child a red envelope. It’s just a small token of my gratitude. Why don’t you let me do that? "

Sheng Xiping pulled away Zhou Qingyang's hand and coaxed Zhou Chenming with a smile.

"Don't be afraid. My uncle gave it to me. My uncle is not an outsider." Sheng Xiping smiled and touched Zhou Chenming's head.

"That's right, brother, this is a little bit of our affection. It's not for you, but for the child. Why are you trying to block him?" Over there, Zhou Qinglan glared at Zhou Qingyang.

Chen Jie is cooking in the outer room at the moment. How can Zhou Qingyang be a match for Sheng Xiping and his wife?

In the end, he could only sigh and nod towards his son. "Why don't you thank your uncle?"

When Zhou Chenming heard this, he was happy. He came up to Sheng Xiping and gave him a kiss on the face.

Sheng Xiping was so happy that he put his arms around Zhou Chenming and kissed him on the face.

The little guy giggled and narrowed his eyes.

"Okay, let's go play with your two brothers." Sheng Xiping pointed at Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu and said with a smile.

Zhou Chenming looked in the direction pointed by Sheng Xiping and happened to see Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu taking off their shoes and getting on the kang.

Such a small child likes to play with older children, so Zhou Chenming immediately ran towards his two brothers.

When Sheng Xinhua saw it, he hurriedly reached out and hugged Zhou Chenming, and the three children went to play on the kang together.

At this time, the kitchen was almost busy. While the chicken and fish were stewing in the pot, Wang Chunxiu and Chen Jie came into the room.

Wang Chunxiu took out two sticks of white thread with ten dollars tied at the bottom and hung the thread on the two girls.

Generally speaking, when a baby enters grandma's house for the first time, grandma has to hang up the baby.

Last time Wang Chunxiu accompanied him back from the provincial capital, he forgot to tell Zhou Mingyuan beforehand. But Zhou Mingyuan didn't understand this, so he didn't give up. He will make up for it today.

In addition to hanging up the two girls, Wang Chunxiu should have given each of Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu a red envelope.

On the other side, Chen Jie also took out a stack of red envelopes and stuffed them one by one to the four children of the Sheng family.

"I gave this to the child. My aunt has not been able to see the child for several years. She doesn't know how tall the child is. She didn't buy clothes. She gave two lucky money and you are not allowed to say anything."

Without waiting for Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan to speak, Chen Jie spoke directly.

Over there, Zhou Qingyang heard it, couldn't hold it back, and burst into laughter.

I have to say, it must be his wife. Sheng Xiping and his wife used these words to block him just now. Now his wife used the same words to block him back. What a great job.

Sheng Xiping and his wife looked at each other and couldn't help but laughed.

"Okay, I listen to my sister-in-law. Xinhua, you two keep the money and don't lose it."

So, the two children, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu, happily received the red envelope, carefully put it in their trouser pockets, and went to play with Zhou Chenming again.

Sheng Xiping came with a camera today, so he proposed to take some photos while the food was not ready yet, the girls Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi were not sleeping, and the guys didn't have time to drink.

It's rare for the Zhou family to be so complete, so it's perfect for a family photo.

When Zhou Mingyuan heard this, he thought the suggestion was good, so he moved some chairs over.

Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were sitting in front, holding their two girls. Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were sitting next to her grandma and grandpa. Zhou Qingyang and his wife were holding Zhou Chenming, and Sheng Xiping, Zhou Qingyue and others were all standing in the back.

Sheng Xikang took the camera, clicked, and found several pictures for everyone.

Afterwards, Zhou Qingyang’s family and Sheng Xiping’s family took two photos with Zhou Mingyuan respectively. Later, I took a few more random photos, and then it was over.

Just as the chicken and fish were stewed in the pot, Wang Chunxiu hurried out, took out all the vegetables, and asked the people in the room to set the table and prepare to eat.

There are so many people at home today that we can’t sit at the same table.

There was a table on the kang, and Wang Chunxiu, Chen Jie, and Zhou Qinglan led several children to eat on the kang. Zhou Mingyuan led Zhou Qingyang, Zhou Qingyue, and the Sheng brothers and sisters to the table on the ground.

This year, his son and daughter-in-law came back to celebrate the New Year. Zhou Mingyuan and his wife prepared a lot of goods for the year, including chicken, duck, fish and so on. They cooked them all and served them on the table today, which was very rich.

Zhou Mingyuan also dug out two bottles of good wine from the cabinet, "This is the wine your eldest brother and the others brought back. He said it was good wine. It just so happens that we can try it today."

Zhou Qingyang was transferred to the vicinity of the ancient city of Chang'an. When he came back this time, he brought several bottles of Xifeng wine to his family.

On the night of New Year's Eve, Zhou Mingyuan didn't even bother to drink it, just waiting for Sheng Xiping and the others to come back.

Good wine goes with good food, and it’s a day of family reunion and celebration, so what else is there to say? Just pour the wine on and start drinking.

Zhou Mingyuan led his son, uncle, and several young men from the Sheng family, changing glasses and drinking happily.

On the kang, Wang Chunxiu hugged Zhou Chenming and fed him a lot of fish and chicken. Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu both sat down and ate by themselves.

The two children, Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, were both full and fell asleep. Zhou Qinglan was next to Chen Jie. The aunt and sister-in-law chatted while eating, and from time to time they picked up some food for the three boys.

The meal lasted until around three o'clock in the afternoon. Sheng Xi'an and others were light drinkers and their faces were red and swollen from drinking. Only Zhou Qingyang and Sheng Xiping were okay and didn't change much.

After dinner, Sheng Xiping left Zhou Qinglan to rest here, while he led his brothers and sisters to his house in the east end of Yiyi.

"So, this is the house I bought, what do you think?" When he arrived outside the new house, Sheng Xiping took out the key, opened the door, and said as he walked inside.

At first, the house was sold because of a job transfer, so the warehouse, toilets, firewood and other things that couldn't be taken away were left behind.

So the yard is quite orderly and there is no mess caused by the original owner moving.

The house is very new and the yard is quite spacious. It looks pretty good.

When I opened the door and took a look, I saw that the cement floor, cement pot sills and window sills were all in order.

Speaking of which, the furniture is a bit poor, all old.

There is quite a lot of room at both ends of this house. Sheng Xiping is thinking that in two years, two more houses will be connected to the east end and heating will be installed.

In that case, the layout of the house will have to be changed. If you are making new furniture now, you might have to replace it when it doesn't fit.

So Sheng Xiping asked someone to buy some old furniture to deal with it, and he would buy new furniture in two years.

Neighbors come over every day to burn the kang and stove, and the water pipes in the house are not frozen.

But this unoccupied house was unpopular. Even if there was a fire, it would not be warm and it would be freezing cold.

So, the brothers quickly lit the fires in the two stoves in the east and west rooms, and also lit the stove in the room. After a while, they felt that the temperature in the room had risen.

When the room got warmer, Sister Sheng Yunfang quickly found a basin to add some warm water, threw in a rag, and carefully wiped away all the dust on the kang, window sills, and furniture.

For the dust on the ground, a lot of snow was brought into the house from outside, sprinkled on the ground, and swept out bit by bit with a broom.

Finally, I threw in a mop and mopped the floor twice to tidy everything up.

After putting these away, the kang surface became warm. The two sisters took out all the bedding from the kangqin and spread them on the kang to dry.

The quilt had been left in the kangqin for a long time and was of no use. It was a little damp and not fully baked, so it couldn't be covered at night.
