Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 439 Resignation

The brothers and sisters worked hard for a while, and the room was finally cleaned up and warmed up.

Sheng Xiping told his younger brothers and sisters to wait at home while he went to pick them up from Zhou's house.

The Zhou family's house is said to have three rooms, but it is actually two and a half rooms. The west room has a small kang and can only sleep two people. The east room has a larger kang and can only sleep three or five people.

Sheng Xiping, his wife, and their four children could probably fill up the kang in the east room. Where would the others live?

So Sheng Xiping's idea is that it is better to go back to his home at night and come back during the day.

But Wang Chunxiu disagreed, "If you can live at home, let's stay at home. It's dark outside. Where can I take a walk at night?"

Besides, how long has it been since your house was occupied? It's okay for adults to live here, but it's not suitable for children to live there. "

The old man is very particular. If this house has been vacant for a long time and no one can live in it, there may be something hidden in it.

Children have clean eyes, can see, and are easily frightened.

Generally speaking, before moving, the new house should be lit with lights for two days, indicating that the house is occupied.

Those unclean things will leave voluntarily if they don't see the light.

"Mom, this was all in the past, who is talking about this now?" Sheng Xiping shook his head and laughed when he heard this.

There are some things that you either believe in or not, especially for a person like him who fights in a big way. He has a lot of evil spirits on his body, and those things dare not provoke him easily.

"Okay, if you don't believe me, I will. Qinglan and his mother will follow me and sleep in this room tonight. Your father and Qingyue will live in the west room."

Wang Chunxiu doesn't care about that, she just has to say it.

"Then why don't you let Xinhua and Xinyu come with me? These two guys don't sleep well at night. They want to turn from the end of the kang to the bottom of the kang, which will affect your rest."

Sheng Xiping had no choice but to take a step back and take his two sons away.

It's hard enough for Zhou Qinglan to take care of two children at night. If she sleeps with Xinhua Xinyu again, she won't have to sleep at all at night, just covering the two little boys.

"That's fine, they're both old enough to bear the burden of right and wrong. Remember, when you come back for dinner tomorrow morning, you won't have anything there, so we won't be able to start a fight."

Wang Chunxiu thought about it. The kang in the east room was not big, and the two children's diapers, cotton-padded jackets, trousers, and quilts were baked on top of the kang. It was indeed not big enough to live in.

In this way, Sheng Xiping dressed his two sons properly, covered them tightly, and then led the two children to live at the other end of No. [-] Middle School.

Zhou Qinglan stayed at her parents' house and took care of the two babies with Wang Chunxiu in the evening.

Zhou Qingyang's family of three returned to the corner building not long after finishing their meal.

Sheng Xin Hua Sheng Xin Yu came back to this house in No. [-] Middle School for the first time. When he walked in, he saw that everything was strange.

After hearing that this was also his family's house and that they would move down in the future, Sheng Xinhua shook his head.

"I don't want to move down here. There is no brother Liu Qiang, Liu Peng, or Huahua here.

Dad, what if we move down and Huahua wants to go home? "

In one sentence, Sheng Xiping was speechless.

Yes, if they move down, what will Huahua do? Will he be anxious if he can’t find his family when he returns home?

But it’s not possible without moving down. A family can’t live in two places all the time. Is that still called home?

"Let's talk about it then, there will always be a way." Sheng Xiping patted his son's little head and led the two of them into the house.

As soon as he entered the room, he found that Sheng Xian and the others were sitting on the kang playing poker.

Six o'clock came before seven o'clock, so it was a little early to go to bed, and the new house didn't have a radio or anything, so it was really boring at night.

It just so happened that they just dug out a bunch of poker cards from the cabinet, managed to get two pairs together, and started playing poker.

"Why are you playing poker? Didn't you say there are ice lanterns? Come on, let's go see the ice lanterns."

Sheng Xiping was happy when he saw it. These people were sincere and told them to wait at home, but they were really at home.

Songjiang River is so lively, and there are many people watching the ice lanterns at night. Let’s go out for a walk.

"Brother, why don't you go today? I'm so tired.

Besides, we also drank some wine, so we could rest at home and go see the ice lanterns tomorrow night. "

I got in the car in the morning. I had been lighting the fire and cleaning the house, and I was feeling lazy after drinking some wine. I really didn't want to move.

"Okay, then tomorrow, let's find a place to play tomorrow." Sheng Xiping nodded. Anyway, the ice lanterns are available until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, so you can go and see them anytime.

Brothers Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were very interested in watching their uncles and aunts playing poker. They took off their shoes and coats and climbed up to the kang to watch.

Sheng Xiping had nothing to do, so he brought back a few lumps from outside, threw them into the stove and burned them slowly, then got on the kang and sat beside them to watch them play cards.

They played until about eight o'clock. When the two children got sleepy, Sheng Xiping said it would be better to go to bed early.

So everyone closed the stall, packed up and got ready to go to bed.

There are not so many beddings in the new house. Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei each hugged their little nephew and slept in the east room, while Sheng Xiping and his three younger brothers slept in the west room.

Anyway, even a quilt and a cotton coat are enough to deal with it.

There was nothing wrong with the Chinese New Year, so I didn't get up early the next day. I got up at seven o'clock, packed up, and went to Zhou's house for breakfast together.

Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu both had to go back to work. Zhou Qinglan couldn't take care of the two children at home, so Sheng Xiping stayed with his wife and took care of the children.

Zhou Qingyue, Sheng Xian and others took Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu out to play.

Everyone first went to watch the Yangko performance on the street. There were many people in the Yangko team in the bureau, dressed up in various ways.

There are people walking on stilts, people running land boats, and old ladies riding donkeys with a pipe in their mouths, all of which are very exciting.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu had never seen anything like this before. They were so excited that they followed the Yangko dancers all the way to almost all the main streets in the Forestry Bureau.

In the afternoon, everyone went to watch two more movies. In the evening, Wang Chunxiu and Zhou Mingyuan watched Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi at home. Everyone else went out together to watch the ice lanterns in the open space opposite the bureau building.

Now is the most glorious time for the Forestry Bureau. We have money and don't care about spending.

The bureau specially brought ice cubes from the Songhua River and hired skilled craftsmen to carve and build them in advance to make various ice lanterns.

Especially when the electricity is turned on at night, the colorful lights shine through the translucent ice, and the colors are dazzling. It really makes people feel like they are in the Crystal Palace.

In previous years, when Sheng Xiping accompanied Zhou Qinglan back to her parents' home, they had the opportunity to see the ice lanterns. How could Sheng Xi'an's brothers and sisters have the chance?

This was their first time seeing ice lanterns, and they all found it quite novel, let alone Sheng Xin Hua Sheng Xin Yu.

The two children just felt that their eyes were not strong enough, and they were dazzled by everything they looked at.

"Come, I'll take pictures for you." Sheng Xiping came with a camera, and then he called on everyone to come over and take pictures for them.

Everyone also got interested and took pictures in various poses in front of the ice lantern.

Zhou Qingyang and his wife took a group photo with Zhou Chenming and Sheng Xiping holding their two sons, the three brothers and sisters of the Zhou family, and the brothers and sisters of the Sheng family.

Sheng Xiping had just replaced the film before coming to Songjianghe. On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, he only took about ten pictures at Zhou's house. There was still a lot left, so he took pictures all at once.

"Comrade, how much does it cost to take a photo? Please take one for us too."

There were many people who came to see the ice lanterns. Some of them didn't know what was going on. They thought Sheng Xiping was specially taking photos for people, so they came over to ask.

Sheng Xiping was stunned when he heard this, then smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I don't make money by taking pictures for others. This is my own camera, and it belongs to my family."

In these days, taking photos is usually done in a photo studio.

Cameras are too expensive. Unless it is needed for work, most individuals are reluctant to spend hundreds or even thousands of dollars to buy a camera.

Moreover, film and photo development are very expensive, so even if the workplace has a camera, few people lend it out for their own use.

So when the other party heard Sheng Xiping's words, he was obviously stunned, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

"Oh, oh, I'm sorry, I thought you were from some photo studio." The other party waved his hand in embarrassment and turned to leave.

“It’s okay, it’s okay, if you want to take a picture, I can take two pictures for you.

When the time comes, I will develop the negatives for you, and you can develop the photos yourself. "

Sheng Xiping looked at the camera. On the sixth day of the new year and today, he had used about twenty negatives, and there were still more than a dozen left.

Anyway, they've almost finished taking photos. They'll take a few pictures for other people and try to make up for them. They'll take them to a photo studio to develop them tomorrow.

Otherwise, I won’t have much chance to take pictures in the future, and I don’t know when I will be able to take pictures of the rest and wash them.

When the other party heard this, he was very happy and said, "Oh, thank you very much. We will pay you how much."

"It's okay, let's take the photo first and then talk.

Let’s agree in advance that I have no professional photography training, it’s just a hobby, and the photos I take may not be particularly good, so please don’t blame me. "

You have to say the ugly things first, not the last. Even though you have good intentions, you still have to make people dislike you for not taking good photos.

"No, no, you can do whatever you want."

The other party waved their hands quickly. It would be nice if they were willing to take pictures of them. How could they be picky?

Just like that, the other people found a favorite ice sculpture and stood in front of it, posed in a few poses, and took three or four photos in a row.

After that, Sheng Xiping asked the other party to leave their contact address and agreed to find a way to give it to them after the film was developed.

Fortunately, the other party is also from Songjianghe, so it is easy to find him.

With the last few negatives left, Sheng Xiping asked the two brothers Sheng Xinhua and Zhou Chenming to find some small ice sculptures and take photos together.

It wasn't until he finished taking photos of the whole roll that Sheng Xiping clicked on the camera lens with satisfaction.

It just so happened that everyone had been wandering around for a long time. Zhou Qinglan was thinking about the two children at home, and Zhou Chenming was also sleepy, so they went home to rest.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, classes began at Songlin High School. Sheng Xiping could not live in the house of No. [-] Middle School for the time being and had to go back to school to live in the dormitory.

Sheng Xiping sent his younger brother back to school, gave him some money, and told him to study hard.

After returning from school, Sheng Xiping went straight to the photo studio.

This time, together with the photos I took at home, there were two rolls of film in total, all of which were given to the master of the photo studio to be developed. Each negative was developed first to see the effect.

The master of the photo studio must have never seen such a wealthy person develop two films at once. This was a big deal. The master took the money and promised repeatedly that he would flush it out as soon as possible.

Sheng Xiping left his name again and asked Zhou Qingyue to pick it up when the time came.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, the forest farm also started working. Sheng Liancheng had to go up the mountain, and Zhang Shuzhen was the only one at home.

So Sheng Xiping and others packed up their things without further delay, and took the car back to the forest farm on the morning of the ninth day of the Lunar New Year.

Schools in the south have a short winter vacation, so Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei set off to return to school around February [-]th.

A few days later, Sheng Xikang also packed up and left. Only Sheng Xian was the last to go back, returning to school in late February.

It's almost March, and the Sheng family is also facing a choice at this time.

Zhou Qinglan is going to work at Songlin High School, and Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi are too young to live without their mother, so they must go to Songjiang River with them.

But Zhou Qinglan has to go to work and teach, who will take care of the two girls?

Zhang Shuzhen can't do it. Sheng Liancheng has not retired yet, Sheng Xiping's job has not been transferred to Songjianghe, and Shengxin Hua and Shengxinyu brothers are refusing to go to Songjianghe, so Zhang Shuzhen has to stay in the forest farm to take care of these men.

Zhou Mingyuan made a good point before and wanted to transfer Sheng Xiping to work in the bureau. But in actual operation, it is also very troublesome.

Sheng Xiping is the director of the processing plant in the forest farm. He is a leader in both big and small matters.

Transfer him to Songjianghe, which unit will he be assigned to? Go to a material factory or fiberboard factory to be an ordinary worker? That certainly won't work.

But if we assign him a department cadre, there must be a vacancy on the one hand, and the name must be justified on the other.

Zhou Mingyuan is the director. Nowadays, the director responsibility system is implemented, and Zhou Mingyuan has the final say on matters related to the bureau.

But there is no justifiable reason for transferring my uncle to work in the bureau, or he should be a cadre as soon as he comes.

So Zhou Mingyuan planned to set up a processing factory in the bureau and arrange for the newly recruited large group of workers to be there, just in time to transfer Sheng Xiping from the forestry farm to take charge of the work.

Even if you are not the leader, you can train as a deputy and then be promoted to the top in two years.

The report was discussed at a meeting in the bureau, and the bureau leadership unanimously agreed, so it was submitted to the province. As soon as the province responded, construction of the factory began.

Who would have thought, but at this moment, someone wrote a letter to the province to report it.

It was said that Sheng Xiping, as the director of the forest processing plant, could not lead by example. When the forestry system of the province unanimously followed the policies of his superiors, he secretly gave birth to three more children, and they were twins.

This is a serious violation of relevant regulations and should be punished by the organization.

He also said that Zhou Mingyuan, as the leader of the bureau, did not criticize or punish his uncle when he knew that he had made mistakes, but instead promoted his uncle to be the director of the bureau's new processing plant. This was nepotism and a serious dereliction of duty.

Originally, this was just a matter of turning a blind eye and everyone knew it.

But now that it's been brought to the table, it's not easy to handle.

Just in time, at the beginning of this year, relevant policies were indeed tightened, and Sheng Xiping was just in time to catch up.

An investigation team was set up from above to investigate the situation. Both Zhou Mingyuan and Sheng Xiping were temporarily suspended from duty to cooperate with the investigation.

There is even news that Songlin High School will also reconsider Zhou Qinglan's job.

For a time, both Zhou and Sheng families were shrouded in dark clouds.

Zheng Xianyong, secretary of the forestry farm, was even more furious.

"His grandma, if I find out who is missing eight generations of virtue and is doing evil things to you behind your back, I will beat him to death."

Sheng Xiping is now in charge of the processing plant. Sheng Xiping's suspension for investigation means that others at the processing plant will not be able to take over. If things go wrong, the company will have to shut down.

It is a heavy burden for more than a hundred workers to eat, drink, spend money, and support their families. As the leader of the factory, can Zheng Xianyong not be impatient?

"No, I have to report to the higher ups and help you talk. Is it such a trivial matter?"

Zheng Xianyong was so anxious that he didn't know what to do, so he could only look for someone from above.

"Uncle, please don't. Don't come forward in this matter. If you do come forward, I'm afraid you will be implicated."

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he quickly stopped Zheng Xianyong.

"This is something we didn't think carefully about. It has nothing to do with the court or Uncle Zheng. We can't tire you out."

He said at the beginning that no, it would cause trouble easily, but he didn't listen.

Sheng Xiping is a person who has been reborn once. He has seen how magical these things are, and the current results are not unexpected.

The main thing is that in the past two years, Sheng Jia and Sheng Xiping have really been in the limelight and attracted people's envy.

No matter what age or age, there are always those villains who hate others and laugh at others.

Such people are like maggots in the gutter. They don't have much ability, but they are extremely disgusting.

"Then what do you think we should do?" Zheng Xianyong couldn't think of any other ideas, and his hair was almost gone.

"Uncle, there is nothing I can do. If it doesn't work, then I will resign and stop working. I bear all the responsibilities alone and can't hurt others anymore."

Zhou Mingyuan's side was okay, at most it was just a criticism or warning.

Anyway, the matter of transferring Sheng Xiping to the bureau was just a suggestion without concrete implementation, so it was not a big problem.

After all, Zhou Mingyuan's work ability is obvious to all. He has done a lot of practical things in the past two years since he came here.

It's impossible to take him down just because of such a trivial matter.

Mainly because of Zhou Qinglan. If he really lost his job, wouldn't Zhou Qinglan's four years of college be in vain?

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan are the main persons responsible for this matter. If they are really investigated, they will really not be able to escape.

So Sheng Xiping wanted to save Zhou Qinglan's job at all costs.

He can do whatever he wants here and support his family is no problem, but what can Zhou Qinglan do here? Cram schools are not popular these days.

"No, no, isn't this nonsense? What a mistake, why do you want to give up your job?

Look at how difficult it is to recruit workers now. What will you do if you don’t have a job? Really hunting? But don't, that won't last long.

Your father and mother know it and can make you angry to death.

Besides, you run the processing plant single-handedly. If you quit, others won't be able to take advantage of it. "

Zheng Xianyong became anxious when he heard this. How could this work? Fire Sheng Xiping, who will be in charge at the processing plant?

"Uncle, this matter has to be done even if it doesn't work. My wife and I, one of us has to be responsible. I can't let her lose her job.

As for the processing plant, it is now on the right track. Even if I come down, I can't give up my job immediately.

I will definitely help you find a suitable person to take over, do you think that will work? "Sheng Xiping knew Zheng Xianyong's concerns, so he assured him.

Zheng Xianyong thought about it and still disagreed, but Sheng Xiping had already made up his mind and it was useless for anyone to say anything.

So when I returned to the factory, I immediately filed a resignation report, then took a car to Songjianghe and handed the report directly to the investigation team.

Sheng Xiping made it very clear in his report that everything was his responsibility. Since the leader wanted to pursue the case, he alone should be held accountable.

He took the initiative to resign as a warning to others.

The bureau leadership team and the investigation team met and discussed several times, and finally decided to approve Sheng Xiping's report.

Only Sheng Xiping was held accountable, Zhou Mingyuan immediately resumed work, and Zhou Qinglan's job was also retained.

Sheng Xiping also became the first person to lose his job in Songjianghe Forestry Bureau.

Of course, because of this matter, Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu gave Sheng Xiping a good lesson.

But the matter has become a foregone conclusion, and there is no point in saying anything.

Zhou Mingyuan could only ask someone to find out secretly who wrote the letter to report. This person was so damaged.

After the matter on the Songjiang River was resolved, Sheng Xiping immediately rushed back to the forest farm. As soon as he entered the house, he was faced with a broomstick in Sheng Liancheng's hand.

"I asked you to make a right decision. You didn't discuss such a big matter with us, but you decided on your own?

That's your job. Others are fighting for the job, and they can't grab it even if they want to. How can you do it? Why don't you just quit?

Is the iron rice bowl just lost? Without a job, what can you do? "Sheng Liancheng is really anxious.

In the minds of people of their generation, having a job means eating public food, and they have a place for life. Life, old age, illness and death are all managed by the state.

Without this job, what will happen in the future?

"Dad, calm down and don't get angry. I have no choice but to do this.

If I don't resign, the jobs of me, my father-in-law, and my wife will all be affected, so I will be spared to save them both.

As long as my father-in-law is still the leader of the bureau, why can't I make money? "

Sheng Xiping grabbed his father's wrist, snatched the broomstick and threw it aside.

"Dad, Mom, don't worry, even if I don't have this job, I won't starve to death." Sheng Xiping helped Sheng Liancheng sit on the edge of the Kang and comforted her.

“Shit, what can you do if you don’t have a job?

Farming? Our family only has four or five acres of land, so what can we do with that little stuff?

hunt? That's all about partial wealth. If you keep trying to reward you with this meal, you can still make money. But if you keep trying to keep your eyes closed, you won't encounter anything when you go into the mountains. How much money can you make?

Let me ask you, tell me, what can you do if you don’t have a job? "Sheng Liancheng said angrily as his anger was still lingering.

"Dad, who said I want to farm and hunt? I have saved a lot of capital in the past few years, and I can make a lot of money by doing some business.

Don't worry, it will definitely be fine. "

Sheng Xiping didn't care much about the job at first. He had no other way out at that time, so he took advantage of the situation and found a job first.

In the past two years, Sheng Xiping felt uncomfortable with the job and had the idea of ​​resigning, but he didn't say it.

In another ten or eight years, the Forestry Bureau will be in poor performance and in a recession, and many people will be unemployed.

By that time, it will be too late to do anything you want to do. It is better to resign now and go have a career. Taking advantage of the trend, you can earn more by doing anything than working.

"What are you capable of? Are you trying to make a deal? You are just speculating. Be careful about arresting you." Sheng Liancheng became even more angry when he heard this.

"Dad, everything you say now is in vain. My two daughters have been together for several months, and I have quit my job. This matter has become a foregone conclusion.

I'm such an old man, I have a son and a daughter, I know what I should do, so you don't have to worry about it. "

She was scolded by her father-in-law in Songjiang River and almost beaten by her father when she returned home. Sheng Xiping was not a good-tempered person, so he simply rolled up his sleeves and turned around to go back to the West Room.
