Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 449 Sensation in the forest farm

The news that Sheng Xiping was back, bringing with him a large refrigerator, a large color TV and many other things, spread throughout the forest farm and large alkali farm at a very fast speed.

Everyone who knows is extremely envious.

When Sheng Xiping resigned from his good job as the director of the processing plant and went to the south to pursue his career, many people talked behind his back.

Everyone said that Sheng Xiping was stupid. He didn't guard his iron rice bowl properly but went out to play tricks.

Is the South so easy to mess with? Is money so easy to make?

Don't go out and hang out for three days and two mornings, and then come back disappointed. If that happens, it will be like a piece of cake and nothing will be left.

Later, Sheng Xiping didn't come back for more than half a year, and some people secretly suspected that Sheng Xiping must not be doing well outside, otherwise how could he not come back for such a long time?

Later, I heard that the Liu brothers and several others from the Great Alkali Field went to help Sheng Xiping.

Only then did everyone realize that Sheng Xiping might be doing well outside.

Now it seems that Sheng Xiping is doing well outside, that is quite good.

If it were anyone else, who would be willing to buy a complete set of home appliances at once? Taken together, these things are worth a lot of money.

This time, instead of saying that Sheng Xiping was messing around, everyone was talking behind his back about how much money Sheng Xiping earned outside.

Those who had good information not only went to Sheng's house to inquire, but also went to the big alkaline base to inquire about the young men who went out with him.

It's okay if you don't ask about it, but when you ask about it, everyone's jaws will drop.

The co-author has opened companies in Hong Kong City and Shenzhen City, with dozens of employees, making a lot of money a year.

I won’t mention anything else, except that those guys from the Great Alkali Field only went to the south in winter.

It's only been a few months, but I've brought back several thousand dollars in salary and bonuses, and everyone was given a TV.

At this time, the entire forest farm was in a state of commotion, and countless people became restless.

Everyone's thoughts were active, and they also wanted to go out with Sheng Xiping to have a career.

That's great. Ever since Sheng Xiping entered the house in the morning, there has been an endless stream of people from the Sheng family.

In the evening, when the frontline workers get off work, the Sheng family becomes even more lively.

Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo, Gao Haining and others didn't even return home and went directly to the Sheng family.

"Tell me about you. You've been gone for more than half a year and haven't come back to see you. All the brothers miss you."

When Chen Weiguo and others saw Sheng Xiping, they were all happy. They touched Sheng Xiping's shoulders with a pestle, and then gave him a big hug.

"We just got off work, and we heard from the person who took over that it was you who drove a big car and pulled a load of things back today?

Okay, Xiping, you look decent. I can see that you’re doing well. "

Gao Haining still couldn't change his bad temper, so he yelled as he entered the room.

"Just listen to their nonsense. That's a car from the Forestry Bureau's Motor Transport Department, and the things in the car don't belong to me."

Sheng Xiping was happy when he heard this. He smiled and let everyone into the room, "Come, come in and sit down. Do you have food? Let's eat here."

"No, no, we just got off the car and haven't even returned home yet. Come here to see you first.

Well, I won't leave you here to eat today. We have a holiday in two days, so let's take some time to get together.

You see, we spend a day working in the mountains, and when we are disgraced, we go home to change our clothes, and then come back after dinner. "

It had been too long since everyone had seen Sheng Xiping and they were panicking, so after learning the news about Sheng Xiping's return, they rushed directly to the Sheng family.

True brotherhood is not about that one meal. It's enough to meet each other and know that the other person is very good.

"Well, Auntie, let's go home first. Don't do anything else. We'll come over to play after dinner."

Chen Weiguo said quickly when he saw Zhang Shuzhen looking through the cabinet for something.

"Oh, look, why are you leaving in such a hurry? When you come, just sit down and chat for a while.

I made a lot of food tonight. We are the only ones at home, so you all stay to eat. "When Zhang Shuzhen heard this, she quickly tried to persuade him to stay.

Sheng Xian is studying at Harbin Institute of Technology for graduate school. He said he is following his tutor on some topics and will be back later this year during winter vacation.

Sheng Xikang is working. Unlike when he was studying, he had winter and summer vacations and didn't come back.

Sheng Xitai is still in high school and will be home the day after tomorrow.

So at home, Zhang Shuzhen led her two daughters, two grandchildren, and Sheng Xiping, who just arrived home today.

"No, no, aunt, my family doesn't know we are here, so they are waiting at home." Everyone waved their hands and turned to leave.

Sheng Xiping followed them to the gate, chatted with them for a few more words, and then returned to the house.

Just as the food was put away, the family hurried to eat.

"When will Qinglan and the others have a holiday? Do you still have to pick up the three of them then?"

On this day, there was no break at home, and Zhang Shuzhen didn't have time to talk to her son.

Zhang Shuzhen asked while there was no one around for dinner.

"Well, school has a holiday in the afternoon the day after tomorrow. I will go back to Songjianghe tomorrow to clean up my house. I will come back with Qinglan and Xitai the day after tomorrow."

Sheng Xiping mainly delivered these home appliances today. He also had to go back to Songjianghe to arrange some things and then take Zhou Qinglan and her daughter back to the forest farm.

The two girls are young and have to carry a lot of things with them no matter where they go. Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xitai alone cannot take care of them.

"By the way, your nanny, sister-in-law of the Li family, how does she arrange it?

Wouldn't it be better to leave her alone in Songjiang River during the Chinese New Year?

Why don't you ask, why don't you just bring her to our house and celebrate the New Year together? Or does she want to go back home?

If she goes back, you have to give her more money. It’s not easy for her to take care of our two children, wash clothes and cook for us. "

Zhang Shuzhen has a kind heart and is good to everyone.

When the two girls were one year old, Zhang Shuzhen took her grandson to live in Songjianghe for a few days, and she got along very well with Aunt Li.

The New Year is coming, and Aunt Li is a lonely old woman with no one to rely on, so Zhang Shuzhen is thinking about her.

When her mother reminded her, Sheng Xiping also remembered, "Yes, if mom hadn't told me, I would have forgotten about it.

Okay, I'll go back tomorrow and ask Aunt Li what she thinks. "

Aunt Li has no children, and there is only a shabby house left in Lijiawa. It is said that it will be the same wherever she spends the New Year.

Of course, this matter depends on what Aunt Li means, no one else can make the decision.

The ladies were eating and chatting, and by the time they finished eating, it was almost half past six.

If things were going as usual, at this point, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu would have been eager to turn on the radio and listen to the storytelling inside.

Especially "The Legend of Yue Fei" told by Liu Lanfang, the two boys listened with gusto and didn't miss a single episode.

But today, the two children did not rush to turn on the radio. Instead, they urged their father to quickly turn on the TV.

"Dad, I want to watch TV. There is a mouse on Grandpa Zheng's TV.

Shunzi talks to us every day in school, saying that the mouse is so funny. "

Sheng Xinyu held his father's hand with a sincere expression on his face.

The Shunzi that Sheng Xinyu is talking about is the grandson of Zheng Xianyong's family. His name is Zheng Tianshun. He is the same age as Sheng Xinyu and they are both in preschool.

Zheng Xianyong's family got a TV a few days ago, and Zheng Tianshun showed off the TV programs at home to his friends all day long, which made the children in the preschool very envious.

Sheng Xinyu listened to Zheng Tianshun's story about a mouse every day, and he also wanted to go to Zheng's house to watch TV.

But Zheng Xianyong has too many family members, and Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are still young and can't squeeze in.

Moreover, it gets dark very early in the winter, and it is already dark outside at half past six. Zhang Shuzhen was afraid that it would be dangerous for her children to go out, so she did not allow them to go to Zheng's house to watch TV.

The two children made the mouse so hungry that they finally had a TV at home today, so how could they still miss it?

"It's okay to turn on the TV, but we have to agree in advance that we are only allowed to watch it for half an hour a day.

From six-thirty to seven o'clock, when the news starts broadcasting on TV, you can't watch it, do you hear me? "

Sheng Xiping took a look at the two brats and made an agreement with them.

"Okay, okay." The two children nodded in unison.

"Okay, I'm going to turn on the TV for you, just to see if the antenna works."

Sheng Xiping smiled, reached out and turned on the TV button on the cabinet, and turned the FM button to adjust the channel.

There were many people coming to the house during the day, and everyone was in a hurry to install the antenna.

It's just that there is no signal during the day and I don't know the specific effect, so now, Sheng Xiping has to try the antenna's reception effect.

Most of the stations have snowflake dots, but it was hard to find one that didn’t have snowflake dots, but had some water ripples.

Sheng Xiping immediately knew that the direction of the antenna was wrong and the received signal was not good.

"You guys are watching TV, and if someone comes out in a while, call me quickly and I'll go out and adjust the antenna pole."

With that said, Sheng Xiping put on his hat and gloves and walked out of the house.

The antenna pole was tied to the base of the garden pole with No. 8 wire. During the day, I was not sure how well it would receive signals, so I simply tied it twice, but it was not tied firmly.

Sheng Xiping loosened the No. 8 wire with his hands, then moved the antenna pole to adjust its direction.

"There's someone out there, brother, there's someone out there on TV." Sheng Yunfei shouted excitedly before Sheng Xinhua could run out.

"Look at it, is it clear? If it's very clear, then decide on this direction." Sheng Xiping asked his sister to reconsider.

These days there are no antennas that can turn automatically, so you have to find a good angle.

Sheng Yunfei went into the house and checked again. When she came out, it was clear. Sheng Xiping then used No. 8 wire to tie the antenna pole to the pole again.

This time, he used pliers to twist it a few more times to make sure it was tight before entering the house.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu sitting on the edge of the Kang, stretching their necks and concentrating on watching TV.

On the TV screen, "The Mole's Story" was playing at the moment. "I thought it was a mouse. Isn't this a mole?"

Sheng Xiping laughed when he saw it. When he heard his son say it just now, he thought it was Mickey Mouse and the co-author was a mole.

The two children did not answer the call, but stared at the TV intently, looking at the plump and naive mole inside.

Sheng Xiping didn't care. He sat on the kang and chatted with his mother.

As he was talking, the dog outside started barking, and then he heard someone greeting him outside. "Xiping, are you at home?" Sheng Xiping hurriedly went out and saw that they were all people from the forest farm. Needless to say, they were all here to watch the big color TV at Sheng's house.

"Xiping, I heard that you have a 17-inch color TV at home. Let's all come and take a look." Everyone saw Sheng Xiping and said with a smile.

There are only four or five TV sets in the forest farm, and they are all in the homes of the forest farm cadres.

There are about 300 households in the Qianchuan Forest Farm, so we can't all go to those households.

As soon as they heard that Sheng Xiping had brought back a bigger color TV, many people came to Sheng's house to join in the fun.

"Yes, yes, come and see, come and see." Others echoed.

"Come in quickly and sit inside." The visitor is a guest and there is no reason to chase him out.

There was no way, why were there so few people with TVs in the forest farm? What's more, what Sheng Xiping got back was a 17-inch color TV.

Don’t tell me who buys it locally, you can’t even see it in stores.

As for 21-inch or 23-inch TVs, it will take several years before they are available on the market. Now, this is considered the highest level.

Sheng Xiping shouted, and the dogs all got into the den and lay down to stop barking. Then everyone followed Sheng Xiping into the house.

"Oh, is this your TV? Not to mention, the seventeen-inch one is bigger than the fourteen-inch one, and it looks brighter.

It must be Xiping, he is really capable, he can get such a big color TV. "Everyone came in and praised him all the time.

When Zhang Shuzhen saw so many people, she quickly moved into the kang to make room and invited them to get on the kang to take a look.

Most people were too embarrassed to take off their shoes and get on the kang, so they sat on the edge of the kang and watched TV while leaning forward.

After a while, there was movement outside again, and we still came to watch TV.

In this way, many people came one after another, and the east room of the Sheng family was full.

Sheng Xiping took a look and simply turned the TV over, with the screen facing the door, and placed a row of small benches in the aisle between the north and south Kangs.

In this way, the people on the kang should gather at the head of the kang as much as possible, while those on the ground would sit on small benches.

A row of chairs, stools, etc. are placed in the outhouse, and a lot of people can sit there.

At seven o'clock sharp, the news broadcast started.

Looking at the two announcers on the TV screen, everyone couldn't help but sigh, TV is better because there are people inside.

"This thing is much better than a radio. We could only listen to sounds before, but now we can see people.

Hey, I'm just wondering, how could such a small box put people in it? "Someone muttered in confusion.

The people nearby heard it and laughed, "This is a program broadcast by a broadcast station, how can you pretend to be someone else?"

"Shh, please keep your voice down, you are listening to the news. What are you making the noise about?"

Some people found it too noisy and quickly waved their hands to signal everyone to stop talking and listen to the news quietly.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu agreed and only saw seven o'clock.

Besides, they couldn't understand the news, so they moved to Sheng Xiping with great difficulty.

"Dad, I still want to see that mouse. When can I see it again?" Sheng Xinyu asked, holding his father's hand.

"Tomorrow, tomorrow night at 6:30, there will still be that mouse." Sheng Xiping raised his hand and touched the top of his son's head.

"I'll put the quilt on the West Room. You two can wash your feet and brush your teeth. Go to the West Room and sleep first."

Looking at this posture, it is estimated that those people will not go home too early. The two children cannot stay up late, so they can only go to the West Room to sleep first.

Sheng Xinhua looked at the people in the east room and couldn't help but worry, "Dad, if they watch TV at our house too late, how will Huahua come back?"

"Huahua? Huahua has come back?" Sheng Xiping was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Yes, Huahua comes back often. There are only grandma and us at home, so Huahua comes back to keep us company." Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu nodded heavily.

"There's only Huahua? Have Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang come back?" Sheng Xiping asked curiously.

The two children shook their heads, "No, Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang haven't come back, they just spend their time on their own."

"Oh, I understand." Sheng Xiping nodded.

When Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang turn three in spring, they are considered adult tigers.

As the saying goes, there is no room for two tigers in one mountain. Tigers are territorial. When tiger cubs reach adulthood, they will be driven out of their own territory by the mother tiger and find another place to live.

The mountain forest around Qianchuan Forest Farm was Huahua's territory, so Jiaojiao and Zhuangzhuang never came back after they left.

"It's okay. You two go to bed first. Those uncles and uncles in the east room will leave at nine o'clock."

Although the forest farm has no electricity restrictions in the past two years, everyone has work during the day, so how can they stay up late watching TV?

Besides, TV in these days did not broadcast 24 hours a day. Around 9:30 in the evening, local transfer stations stopped broadcasting.

If there are no TV shows, what else are you watching?

The two children seemed to understand, but they did whatever their father asked them to do. After brushing their teeth and washing their feet, they got directly into bed.

No matter how noisy the east room was, as soon as the door to the west room was closed, it didn't take long for the two children to fall asleep.

As Sheng Xiping said, at nine o'clock, everyone watching TV left one after another. Even if there were a few who wanted to watch for a while, they would be dragged away by others.

Who's not busy with something yet and doesn't want to sleep?

"Xiping, don't send me off. It's very cold outside. Go back to the house quickly."

Chen Weiguo also came over a few nights. He originally wanted to chat with Sheng Xiping for a while, but it turned out that there were so many people in the Sheng family that it was hard to say anything else.

"The work team will have a holiday in two days, right? Then I'll treat you all and come over and have a good time.

I have a lot to talk to you about, but I just didn’t find the time tonight. "

Sheng Xiping sighed. There were too many people at home tonight and it was a mess. He couldn't say anything.

"Okay, let's wait until one day when we are free, and we brothers can get together."

Everyone nodded in agreement, waved to Sheng Xiping, and left quickly.

After everyone left, Sheng Xiping closed the door and returned to the house. At this time, Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei and the others in the east room were sweeping the floor with brooms.

When these people came over, some of them were not very particular and just threw their cigarette butts on the ground.

"Brother, if they come again tomorrow, please tell them first that they are not allowed to smoke. Who can stand the smell of smoke in this room?"

Sheng Yunfei was talking while working.

"Okay, then tomorrow you can write a few pieces of paper and put them on the wall. No smoking is allowed." After hearing this, Sheng Xiping smiled helplessly.

This thing is really useless. Who said the forest farm has less TV? Those who come here usually have good relations with the Sheng family, so he can't just kick them out, right?

"Mom, I bought something for you and my dad. It's in the pocket in the west room and I haven't taken it out yet. Just wait a moment and I'll get it."

There was no peace at home that day, and there was no chance to take out the things Sheng Xiping brought for his family.

At any rate, everyone left at night, so Sheng Xiping quickly picked up his bag and took out things one by one.

Sheng Xiping always brought clothes and shoes back whenever he went out, which was not a rare thing.

Sheng Xiping bought his father a belt, a particularly beautiful lighter, and a Roman watch.

What did someone say later? The three treasures of a man are a lighter, a belt and a watch.

Sheng Xiping bought everything for his father at once, and he bought them all from Hong Kong City, so they were expensive.

"Mom, these are for you. Earrings, rings, and bracelets are all made of gold. I picked out the latest styles in Hong Kong City. You can wear them as you like."

When buying gold jewelry for your daughter-in-law, your mother is definitely indispensable.

It's just that Zhang Shuzhen's set of gold jewelry looks more mature and less fancy.

"Oh my god, why did you buy these? It costs a lot of money. Even if you make money, you can't spend it like this?"

Zhang Shuzhen doesn't know Roman watches and doesn't know how much they are worth, but she knows gold.

These pieces of jewelry are not light in weight, so I would have to spend a lot of money to buy them.

"Mom, doesn't the son earn money just for his parents to spend?" Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this.

In his previous life, his mother died early and did not enjoy much blessing. In this life, as long as it is within his ability, he will give his mother the best no matter what.

"Mom, I remember you had ears and eyes before, right? Can you still open them? Tomorrow, let me help you open your ears and eyes and put on these earrings.

The ring is live. You can try it on for size, then wrap it with a red string before wearing it. "

For people of Zhang Shuzhen's generation, when they were little girls, their families would prick their ears.

The older generation will scare children, saying that if girls and children are not prickly, they will be reincarnated as rabbits in their next life, but they don’t know what the significance of this is.

Girls have their ears pierced. Those who are rich wear gold earrings and gold earrings, and those who are poor wear silver earrings or silver lilacs. Anyway, they all wear something on their ears, which looks pretty good.

Later, they were not allowed to wear gold and silver jewelry, and some people's ears and eyes gradually died.

Although Zhang Shuzhen has not worn earrings for many years, she can use tea sticks to pierce her ears, so she can just replace them without dying.

"Mom, this is my eldest brother's tribute to you, please accept it quickly. Once you put on the earrings and rings tomorrow, you will definitely be the richest old lady in our forest farm."

Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei came over to help Sheng Xiping talk and coax her mother.

Zhang Shuzhen took the three pieces of jewelry and looked at them carefully, unable to hide the smile on her face.

"When you quit your job, your father and I were worried because we were afraid that you would have a hard time in the future.

Unexpectedly, now that you are away from the processing factory, you are doing better. Mom never dreamed of having these things. "

As she spoke, tears couldn't help but fall down. Zhang Shuzhen quickly wiped the corners of her eyes.

"Mom, don't worry, I will make more money in the future so that you and my dad can live a good life."

Sheng Xiping felt a little sad when he saw his mother like this.

Just as Zhang Shuzhen was about to say something, she heard scratching at the door outside.

"Hey, Huahua is back. Hurry, open the door for it."

At this time, she couldn't care less about her feelings. Zhang Shuzhen quickly instructed her son to open the door for Huahua.

Sheng Xiping put on his shoes and went to the ground, went to the outer room and opened the cotton curtain, pulled out the latch on the door, opened the door, and sure enough, there was Tweed standing outside.
