Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 453 Brothers make money together

Chen Weimin has seven brothers and sisters, more than the Sheng family.

Chen Weiguo did not separate his family even after he got married. The whole family was crowded into the two-and-a-half-room public house and it was really hard to live apart.

So after Chen Weimin and Lin Junhua received the certificate, Chen Shiliang and his wife came to Sheng Liancheng and his wife, wanting to spend money to buy the Sheng family's old house. Just when the garden stick was opened, the two families became one.

Previously, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were thinking about flipping over the old house if they had enough money.

As a result, the children started to take exams and left school one after another, seeing that it was impossible to return to the forest farm. Sheng Xiping also bought a house in Songjianghe and lived alone.

These three and a half houses are enough for the Sheng family. There is no need to keep the old house.

So the Chen family came over to discuss it, and Sheng Liancheng and his wife agreed.

The old house was a mud-thatched house and not worth much, so the Sheng family took a token fee.

The two families went to the forest farm to go through the formalities, and the house belonged to the Chen family, just in time for Chen Weimin to get married.

Although the Sheng family's house is old, Sheng Liancheng tidies it up every summer, so it's not in any condition.

After the Chen family took over, the interior and exterior walls were painted white, the roof was replaced with wooden tiles, and the stove, kang, and fire wall were all re-panelled.

There are regulations in the forest farm that each employee who is about to get married is limited to 1.5 cubic meters of wood and has to pay 45 yuan.

The Chen family hired two carpenters from Dajiachang and worked for a month to make a complete set of furniture.

Chen Weimin had good art skills, so he used a soldering iron to create landscape paintings on furniture surfaces. The lines were clear, the shades were appropriate, and they were elegant and unique. They were more beautiful than the flower-and-bird paintings nowadays.

With so much tidying up inside and out, how can you still tell that it is an old house?

Because the Lin family had always had objections to the marriage, their parents' family only sent Lin Junhua's brother Lin Junwen alone on the wedding day, and they didn't give any dowry to accompany him.

Fortunately, the Chen family has made arrangements very grandly, and specially prepared something for her, which should be regarded as Lin Junhua's dowry.

At the same time, several girls from the processing factory who got along well with Lin Junhua were also invited to act as family members.

Lin Junhua got married from the forest farm dormitory, and Chen Weimin led the wedding team to bring his new daughter-in-law to the Chen family with a lot of playing and playing.

The original garden stick was removed, and it suddenly felt much more spacious.

On the wall of the eaves, there is a pair of silk quilts with a double happiness cut out of red paper attached to it.

There was an Eight Immortals table in front, covered with a tablecloth, and a few chairs beside the table. On the left were Chen Shiliang and his wife, and on the right was Lin Junhua's brother Lin Junwen.

The wedding was presided over by Zhao Xiangyang, chairman of the trade union. This man was eloquent and humorous, and his various witty remarks made everyone lean back and forth.

The wedding went smoothly in such a lively atmosphere.

Chen Weimin and Lin Junhua wore new clothes and stood in front of everyone with smiles on their faces. They saluted the forest farm leaders and guests and thanked everyone.

For Chen Weimin's marriage, the Chen family also spent a lot of money and killed all the two pigs caught in the spring to hold a banquet.

As you can imagine, this meal must be good. There were about ten tables in total for the banquet, which was arranged just in time.

Zheng Xianyong, Zhao Xiangyang, Wang Junsheng, Sheng Liancheng and others were all invited to sit at the table.

Originally, the Chen family wanted Sheng Xiping to sit at this table, but Sheng Xiping declined. He was young and should not join in the crowd.

In the end, Sheng Xiping and Wang Jianshe were arranged to share a table with Lin Junhua's brother, as guests of their mother's family.

The marriage between Lin Junhua and Chen Weimin is a foregone conclusion. No matter what Lin Junwen thinks in his heart, the appearance must be acceptable.

Besides, the Chen family values ​​marriage and Junhua so much, and Lin Junwen feels much better.

He was similar in age to Wang Jianshe and Sheng Xiping, and they had a common language, so they became familiar with each other in a short time.

After a few glasses of wine, someone came up to Sheng Xiping and insisted on offering Sheng Xiping wine.

"Xiping, come here, let me toast you. Among us, you are the one I admire the most.

When you were an educated youth, you were the captain, and after working, you became the factory director. Now that you have no job, you can do better than anyone else.

A capable person will never be buried no matter where he goes. Come, let's have a drink. "Guo Yongping spoke first.

"Yes, yes, Yongping is right. Among the people in our forest farm, if I don't obey others, I will obey you.

Come on, count us among us, let’s drink a toast to Xiping. "The other young men also held wine glasses and insisted on toasting.

Sheng Xiping was a little confused, "Wei Min is getting married today. If you don't respect Wei Min's wine, why are you here to respect me?"

Isn't it good for him to steal the show when someone is getting married?

"Wei Min, he has to toast us later.

Since the work team is on holiday, we are all very busy, and we don’t have the chance to go to your house to have a good chat with you.

Taking advantage of today's occasion, we would like to propose a toast to you. "The young men laughed.

Sheng Xiping saw that he was sincerely toasting, and it would be bad if he didn't drink, so he would have to drink.

In the end, it didn't matter at the beginning. Many people came to Sheng Xiping for a drink one after another. In the name of not seeing each other for a long time, they actually came to get close to each other.

"Xiping, have you seen it? They are all here to get close to you and want you to make money with them."

Wang Jianshe sat next to Sheng Xiping and whispered after a group of people left.

How could Sheng Xiping not know what these people were planning? It's not that easy to make money with him.

First, are they willing to give up their iron rice bowl? Even if they can, their family members may not agree.

"My family will kill pigs tomorrow, will you come and help?" Sheng Xiping avoided the topic and turned to talk about something else.

"Help, I must help, and eat pig meat on the way." Wang Jianshe and Gao Haining were happy when they heard this.

Everyone is busy these days, and Yuan said that he looks for opportunities to get together, but never has the time.

While the Sheng family was killing pigs, they went over and had a fun day.

"Here, let's have a drink with our uncles who respect the people."

Sheng Xiping and the others were here to accompany guests, how could they be so enthusiastic that they left their parents' guests alone?

So Sheng Xiping took the wine bottle and filled Lin Junwen with wine, and then poured it for himself and Wang Jianshe.

"I'm a few years older than you, so I call you brother.

Brother Junwen, don't worry, Minzi is the younger brother of us people, and we know best what he is like.

This guy Minzi is talented and capable. He is a great writer who is well-known in the forestry system of our bureau, no, our province.

You see, he has published several books and earned a lot of royalties. Don't worry, Junhua will not suffer hardship when she gets married. "

Sheng Xiping held the wine glass, clinked it with Lin Junwen, and said with a smile.

"Yes, yes, this kid Minzi has a good talent. Even if you look at him writing with his left hand, his handwriting is more beautiful than those of us who use our right hands.

He is very popular in the labor union. Lao Zhao has always said that when he retires, the position of union chairman will belong to the people. "Gao Haining and several others also echoed.

Before Lin Junwen came, he still couldn't get over his sister marrying a disabled person.

But when I got here, I saw that the Chen family paid so much attention to Chen Weimin and heard many people's words of praise for Chen Weimin. The unhappiness in my heart disappeared a lot.

What can they do even if they are unhappy? It's time to get the certificate and the wedding, and there's no delay in anything, right?

"Thank you all. When I came here, I also saw that Wei Min sincerely likes and cares for my sister.

The family tradition of the Chen family is also very upright. My sister will definitely not be offended when she marries into the Chen family. Lin Junwen also picked up the wine glass and nodded towards everyone.

"When I go back, I will advise my parents. After we get along for a long time, my parents will know Wei Min's character and abilities, and maybe their attitude will change gradually."

As an older brother, Lin Junwen still hopes that his sister will be happy. Since my sister has chosen Chen Weimin, my brother can only bless her.

"Yes, yes, doesn't this relationship just develop slowly? As time goes by, it will naturally become clear what kind of person Minzi is.

Come, let's have a drink. "Everyone said in unison and drank the wine together.

As soon as I put down my wine glass, Chen Weimin and Lin Junhua came over to toast.

The Sheng Xiping brothers had to shout for Chen Weimin to make a promise to their uncle.

Chen Weimin was also very cheerful. In front of a room full of people, he promised Lin Junwen and Lin Junhua that he would be good to Lin Junhua from now on and would not let her suffer any injustice.

If he can't do it, his uncle can beat him as he pleases.

My brother-in-law has said so, what else can Lin Junwen say? I can only send my blessings and hope that the young couple will be loving and harmonious and have long-lasting happiness.

The wedding banquet lasted for more than an hour, and the guests left one after another after eating and drinking.

Because Lin Junhua has been pregnant for more than three months, it is not easy for everyone to have a wedding ceremony, so they only let the groom kiss the bride symbolically, even if it means nothing.

Of course, the new house was not too deserted, so the wives of each family stayed at the new house to accompany Lin Junhua.

Others were at the Chen family, drinking tea, playing cards, and chatting until seven or eight o'clock, and then they went home.

When returning home, light snow was falling in the sky. Zhou Qinglan held Sheng Xiping's arm and the two of them walked in the snow.

"Watching Wei Min and Jun Hua get married, I feel as if it was just yesterday that we got married.

In the blink of an eye, we have been married for eight years. Time flies so fast. "While walking, Zhou Qinglan sighed.

"Yes, after the New Year, our Xinhua will be nine years old. Doesn't life go by so fast? In the blink of an eye, we both have four children."

Sheng Xiping held Zhou Qinglan's hand and put their hands into his pockets.

"Daughter-in-law, have you ever regretted marrying me?" Sheng Xiping turned his head, looked at the person beside him, and asked seriously.

“In the past few years, we have been together less and more apart, especially this year, I left you and the children and went south alone.

You have to go to work and take care of two little ones. When your child is sick or crying, I can't be by your side to share the burden for you. You don't blame me? "

Zhou Qinglan turned her head, looked at Sheng Xiping, and smiled. “I have no regrets, really not.

We are both busy for this family. I am taking care of the children at home. Although I am in a panic and embarrassed, are you not taking a huge risk by working hard outside?

In terms of career, I can't help you or work hard with you. What I can do is to stabilize the rear so that you can move forward without any worries. "

"Daughter-in-law, thank you, thank you for your understanding and support.

Don't worry, I will work hard to give you a little bit of money, so that you can live a good life with no worries about food and clothing. ”    Sheng Xiping reached out and held Zhou Qinglan in his arms, and the two of them leaned on each other in the snowy night.

"Hey, hey, who is that in front of you? What kind of girl doesn't go home and stays outside to cuddle and cuddle?

Do it? In a relationship? Get out of here and go home. "

Coincidentally, at this time, people from the forest farm police station patrolled nearby. They saw a man and a woman hugging each other in front of them from a distance, and shouted loudly.

As soon as Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan heard the news, they separated immediately, then looked at each other and couldn't help but become happy.

At this time, the patrolman came closer and with a flash of his flashlight, he saw the two people in front of him clearly.

"Oh, you two co-authored it.

Xiping, you said the same thing. If you don’t go home to hug your wife late at night, why are you hugging her outside in the wind and snow? Oops, tsk tsk. "The other party turned away embarrassedly.

Sheng Xiping rolled his eyes and muttered in a low voice, "You know nothing, this is called romance."

A man who has been married for many years does not necessarily have to think about other things when he is with his wife. Sometimes, he just wants to hold her quietly for a while.

But there are four light bulbs at home, which pester Zhou Qinglan anytime and anywhere. Sheng Xiping has no chance to get tired of his wife even if he wants to.

Originally, the night was quite beautiful tonight, and the light snow was falling just in time for the occasion. The couple wanted to have a romantic embrace in the snow, but it got mixed up again.

"Okay, let's go home. If you don't go back, our parents will be worried." Zhou Qinglan finally suppressed his laughter, dragged Sheng Xiping, and ran back quickly.

When the two returned home, the lights in the east room of the Sheng family were still on, and the light from the color TV reflected on the glass with window grilles, reflecting colorful light.

Hearing the footsteps of Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan, the dogs came out of their dens and wagged their tails at Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping could only go forward, touch them one by one, and coax them before entering the house.

The couple went into the house and chatted with their parents for a while, talking about the situation in the Chen family that night, and then went back to the west room to rest.

Huahua must have gone back to the mountains and wasn't lying on the kang in the west room.

The four children, Xinhua, Xinyu, Xinyue, and Xinqi, were lined up from the bottom of the kang to the end of the kang, and they all slept soundly.

The couple didn't dare to turn on the light, so they took off their clothes in the dark, got on the kang, and got into bed.

Sheng Xiping hugged his wife over, the couple leaned together and soon fell asleep.

On the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, the Sheng family kills the New Year pig.

At the beginning of spring, Zhang Shuzhen caught two piglets and raised them until the New Year, weighing almost two hundred pounds.

According to the usual practice in previous years, one should be killed during the New Year and another in the spring.

But the situation is different now. The Sheng Xiping brothers are not at home, and there is no one to eat the pigs that are being slaughtered in the spring.

So Zhang Shuzhen said, let's just kill them together and keep more meat, and she can fill them with intestines and make something delicious.

After the new year, I will take some more with me for the children to eat on the way.

Just after breakfast, Wang Jianshe, Gao Haining, Chen Weiguo, Zhang Zhijun, and Pan Fusheng all came to Sheng's house.

Everyone entered the pigsty together, caught both pigs and tied them up.

The pig probably also knows that the disaster is approaching and howls for death. As the sharp knife fell, and after a few screams, the pig stopped moving.

Killing two pigs was not easy. Thanks to the many people who helped, we worked all morning and finally cleaned up all the pigs.

The men were packing the pork, and the women were busy packing up the goods, cooking the meat, and cutting the sauerkraut.

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, the pig meat was finally cooked, and everyone gathered together to eat in a lively manner.

"Let's get down to business. Are you guys interested in following me down south?

My company will expand its business after the new year, and it is the time when it needs manpower.

If you go, your salary will be according to the standards of my two brothers in the Liu family. In addition to salary, there will also be bonuses, and there will be dividends at the end of the year.

We are brothers, and I definitely can’t do anything wrong to you, so what? "

After a few glasses of wine, Sheng Xiping looked at the brothers and asked seriously.

These people all grew up together with Sheng Xiping. They are as good brothers as Liu Yujiang and Liu Yujiang.

In his previous life, when Sheng Xiping was in decline, everyone did not leave him alone. If there was any money-making work in the forest farm, they took Sheng Xiping to contract it together. Only then did Sheng Xiping have the capital to do business later.

Now that Sheng Xiping is capable, he naturally wants to lead his brothers to do something together and make money together.

With the ability of these people, as long as you take them for a period of time, they can go out and take charge of themselves. They are definitely good helpers.

"I'm just waiting for your words. How can we make money without our buddies?" Gao Haining slapped his thigh and said loudly.

"Since you came back, we have wanted to discuss it with you, but haven't we always had the chance?

You brought it up first today. If you didn't say it, we would be embarrassed to open our mouths. "When Gao Haining said this, he scratched his head with a smile.

"Yes, yes, Brother Xiping, we all want to go out and have a adventure with you." Zhang Zhijun and Pan Fusheng also said in unison.

"Construction and Weiguo, what about you? Are you willing to go out with me to have a try? Let's do something together, brothers?"

Sheng Xiping looked at Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo and asked them what they meant.

"Then what else are you talking about? Don't we brothers do everything together?

When we were young, we always shouldered the trouble together, let alone making money now, so we have to work together with you. "Wang Jianshe glanced at Chen Weiguo, and both of them smiled.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he laughed and said, "Okay, with the help of a few brothers, I will feel more confident."

When a company is starting up, it lacks manpower, especially people who can entrust important tasks and are trustworthy.

Wang Jianshe and the others are reliable and dependable in their work, and they have been friends since childhood. They are much better than those guys at the Great Alkali Field.

"Of course, if you go, you won't be able to do the work at the forest farm.

You will have to discuss this matter with your family later to see how the forest farm can make reasonable arrangements.

If that doesn't work, you can wait until the winter production season ends in April, and you'll be working with me for more than half a year.

If you think it's good, you can continue to stay there. If you think it's not good, come back before the winter production in November, and the forest farm will be able to handle it easily. "

Sheng Xiping was quite interesting. He explained everything he could think of and planned to Wang Jianshe.

After everyone thought about it, Sheng Xiping's words made sense.

They are all people with families now, instead of being single in the past, one person has enough to eat and the whole family is not hungry, and they can go anywhere without delay.

"Okay, then let's go home and discuss it with our families." Everyone agreed.

After the business was done, all that was left was to eat and drink. It was rare for everyone to get together, so what else could we talk about? Once you open it up, everything will be done.

The meal lasted until almost four o'clock, and by the end everyone was drunk and staggering.

While Zhang Shuzhen and the others were clearing the table, everyone leaning against the wall or cabinets stared in confusion.

Zhang Shuzhen shook her head with a smile, and quickly led her daughter-in-law and daughter to clear the table, find pillows from the cabinet, and tell them to have a good sleep.

"Auntie, I'm not going to sleep anymore. I have to go home. If you don't go home, my wife will be here later."

Gao Haining and the others were not actually asleep, they were just confused from drinking too much, staring with their eyes closed.

As soon as Zhang Shuzhen greeted them, they woke up, dressed up, and staggered out.

Sheng Xiping also wandered out to see her off. After everyone left, Sheng Xiping returned to the house, lay down on the kang and fell asleep.

Pigs were slaughtered on the twenty-seventh day. On the morning of the twenty-eighth day, Zhang Shuzhen made two large pots of noodles.

Sheng Xiping got five bags of flour back from Songjiang River. In this day and age, Bawu flour is considered a very good noodle. It is good for steaming steamed buns and making dumplings during the New Year.

As the children grow up, study, work, and start families, the days when the whole family is reunited will become less and less.

So this year, Zhang Shuzhen paid special attention to it and used all her special skills.

Zhang Shuzhen led her daughter-in-law and two daughters to cook various kinds of jujube steamed buns, flower steamed buns, steamed buns, flower rolls, and sugar triangles, steaming them one pot at a time.

The women were busy working and eating, while the men were outside cleaning the yard and chopping firewood.

The family killed two pigs and didn't sell a pound of meat. Sheng Liancheng and his wife said that they should quickly send some to their in-laws to save them from buying more.

Sheng Liancheng was so honest that he directly packed half-skinned pork, added a set of head-and-hooves goods, and also caught two chickens.

"Okay, that's it. You can't carry any more. Second child, fourth child, you two go to the station and help your brother take it to the car."

A few days ago, the forest farm arranged a commuter bus to take everyone to Songjianghe to buy new year's goods. It departed at 8:30 in the morning and returned around 5:00 in the afternoon.

The Sheng brothers carried the bags and hurried to the station to help put the things on the bus.

When Sheng Xiping delivered the things to the Zhou family, he was naturally warmly received by his father-in-law and mother-in-law.

Just in time, Zhou Qingyang and his wife also brought their children back. The Zhou family cooked a lot of dishes at noon, and Zhou Mingyuan brought his son's uncle and drank a lot.

I'm so busy, it's February 12th, New Year's Eve.

The Sheng family is very lively this year. Not only are there couplets posted on the door, but there are also door gods and money hangings, and two red lanterns are hung on both sides of the door.

There are blessing characters posted everywhere in the courtyard, and festive window grilles are posted on the windows.

In the yard, there are two chubby snowmen piled up, wearing red scarves and red hats, smiling cutely and naively.

The adults were busy working in the yard, and several children followed various harps. Even the two little girls Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi were running around the yard.

Leopard, Fat Tiger and several other dogs are also old and can no longer move around. They lie down at the door of the kennel, wagging their tails and squinting to enjoy.

"Come on, come here, let me take some pictures of you."

Sheng Xiping looked at the lively scene in front of him, and his addiction to taking pictures started again.

So I greeted the children, stood in front of the snowman, clicked, and took several photos of them.
