Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 461 Contracting Matters

At noon on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, high school is on vacation.

After lunch, the family packed up their things and went back to the forest farm to celebrate the New Year.

Aunt Li stayed in Songjianghe to look after the house as she did last year.

Anyway, there was no shortage of food at home. Sheng Xiping gave Aunt Li a lot of money and told her to buy whatever she liked without saving.

"Don't worry, just go back. I'm here, don't worry."

Aunt Li helped carry the two bags to the car and said with a smile. "Go back and take care of your parents for me."

The family got into the car, Sheng Xitai sat in the passenger seat, and Zhou Qinglan sat in the back with her four children.

This car is a five-seater, and it is said that three people can sit in the back.

Fortunately, the children of the Sheng family were still young. Zhou Qinglan held Xin Yue and Sheng Xinhua held Xin Qi and sat down.

Anyway, no one checks for overloading these days, so just squeeze in and you can sit down.

It was Sheng Xitai's first time riding in a car. After getting in the car, he felt extremely curious. He looked at this and that, and his eyes wished they had grown up.

"Brother, this car is really nice. It's so rare."

Sheng Xitai saw it the night he picked up the car, but he was up early and late at school all day long, so he didn't have time to take a closer look.

I got in the car today, and finally I was able to take a closer look, and I felt that everything about this car was good.

"You study hard, and if you can get into a good school like your third brother, when you graduate, I will give you one."

In the words of future generations, Sheng Xiping was definitely a doting brother and a madman.

When the third child was getting married, Sheng Xiping gave him money to buy a house and a complete set of furniture. Sheng Xiping even bought the three gold coins for the engagement.

Although Zhang Shuzhen said that she would pay for the three gold coins, could Sheng Xiping ask for his mother's money?

Sheng Xiping's favorite was the old kid in the family. In order to encourage him to study hard, Sheng Xiping also spent a lot of money this time and directly said that he would be rewarded with a car.

"Really? Brother, are you kidding me? I take it seriously."

When Sheng Xitai heard this, his eyes widened and he asked excitedly.

At the end of this semester, his grades ranked third in the whole grade, just one point and five points behind second place, and only five points behind first place.

Sheng Xitai felt that he had not exerted his full strength yet. If he gritted his teeth and worked hard next semester, it would not be impossible for him to be ranked first in the grade.

Even though Songlin High School has only been established a few years ago, the quality of teaching is nothing short of outstanding. In this summer's college entrance examination, Songlin High School ranked first in the province's forestry system.

If Sheng Xitai can get the first place in his grade, there should be no problem in Qingbei.

"I'm not kidding you, I'm serious.

Of the few in our family, you are the only one who has not yet taken the college entrance examination. You should study hard and don't embarrass the family. I will definitely get a car for you to drive when the time comes. "

Sheng Xiping smiled, could his own brother lie to his younger brother?

The old man will take the college entrance examination next year, and then go to college for four more years. How fast this society will develop. By then, there will be all kinds of cars in big cities, nothing new.

It was normal to get a car for Sheng Xitai to commute to and from get off work. At that time, domestic cars were easy to buy and it didn’t cost much, so just get one.

Doesn’t Sheng Xiping only have a few younger brothers and sisters in total? As long as the younger brothers and sisters are happy, it doesn't matter if they give them something, just pamper them.

"Thank you, brother. Don't worry, brother, I will definitely study hard and make sure I get into a good university and won't let you and my sister-in-law down."

Sheng Xitai immediately sat up straight and raised his right hand in assurance.

The two brothers were chatting lively in the front, while Zhou Qinglan was holding her daughter in the back, smiling and saying nothing.

Sheng Xiping earned the money, so he can spend it however he likes, regardless of whether it is for his brother or sister. Anyway, he didn't go to outsiders.

If nothing else, just because her parents-in-law had taken good care of her and their children over the years, Zhou Qinglan felt that as long as they had the ability, there was no need to feel bad about how much they spent on their family.

Zhou Qinglan doesn't want a car. Firstly, she doesn't want to be too high-profile due to geographical restrictions. Secondly, she really doesn't like cars.

If Sheng Xitai can really get into a university in the capital or Shanghai, he will definitely be good in the future. Living in a big city without a car is really inconvenient.

Therefore, Zhou Qinglan had no objection to her husband's suggestion of sending a car.

The road leading to the forestry farm was built by the Forestry Bureau in exchange for wood. The gravel road was built by the army and was mainly used for transporting large trucks of wood.

This road has only been repaired for two years and is maintained by a dedicated road maintenance team, so the road condition is good.

In winter, the snow on the road is scraped by the scraper, making it very smooth.

Although there is no concept of snow tires in these days, cars in the north generally have anti-skid chains.

Sheng Xiping's car is also specially equipped with anti-skid chains, so it will not affect it at all when running on icy and snowy roads.

More than an hour later, the car drove into the forest farm and stopped at the entrance of the alley east of Sheng's house.

The two children, Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, fell asleep shortly after getting in the car and did not wake up after the car was parked.

There was no other way, so Zhou Qinglan could only get out of the car with her daughter in her arms, while Sheng Xiping held the other one.

Sheng Xitai and his two nephews carried large and small packages, and the group entered their yard.

When the car stopped just now, Hua Leopard and Fat Tiger barked a few times outside.

When Sheng Xiping and the others got out of the car and walked into the courtyard, the dog heard the familiar footsteps and knew that his master was back, so he immediately changed his tone.

The leopards, fat tigers, and others are all old. They usually lie in their nests and don't like to move much, nor are they willing to call out.

However, at this moment, the dogs all came out of their dens and looked at Sheng Xiping, snarling and shaking their heads in a hurry.

If the dog makes such noise, can the people in the house hear it? Sheng Liancheng, Zhang Shuzhen, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei all came out of the room.

Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei hurried forward, picked up the two nieces, and carried them into the house.

Zhang Shuzhen also reached out to pick up the things and happily greeted her daughter-in-law to come into the house.

"Hey? Why are you back at this hour? Doesn't the commuter bus arrive just after dark?"

Only Sheng Liancheng felt something was wrong and asked in surprise.

"Grandpa, my dad drove back in a black car. It's so beautiful."

Sheng Xinyu was quick to talk and showed off to his grandfather with a proud look on his face.

There is no way. For such a young child, no one would be proud of a car at home. How can he not show off?

"What is this? A car? Boss, did you drive back here?" Sheng Liancheng's expression suddenly changed when he heard this.

Sheng Xiping was coaxing the dogs when he heard his father ask and said with a smile.

"Well, this year the company brought in a few cars from Hong Kong City. I, Yu Cheng, and my second brother each have one car for each of us, and the remaining cars are reserved for the company's reception and other purposes.

Aren’t you coming back to celebrate the New Year? I just thought that it would be convenient for me to drive anywhere, so I checked one back from Shencheng. "

"Where is the car? Come on, let me take a look." Upon hearing this, Sheng Liancheng became happy and stretched his neck to look out the door.

"Oh, it's right at the entrance of Dongtou Alley. The road in front of our house is too narrow and we can't drive in."

Sheng Xiping pointed. The Sheng family is at the east end of the house, and the car is actually parked outside the Sheng family home.

Following the direction his son pointed, Sheng Liancheng also saw it, so he quickly walked out of the yard and came to the car.

"Oh my God, our family has a car? A sedan? How does this sound like a dream?"

Sheng Liancheng excitedly circled the car three times. He didn't dare to touch the car with his hands. He only gestured in the air, which was extremely rare.

It should be a man's nature to love cars, not to mention that Sheng Liancheng has been tinkering with machinery for half his life. He has a kind of enthusiasm for cars that others can't understand.

In Sheng Liancheng's eyes, the car in front of him was a perfect work of art. It was so beautiful and so rare.

"This thing is a lot of money, isn't it? How much money do you earn while working outside, just like this? I don't know how distressed you are."

Sheng Liancheng said this, but his expression and movements all showed his love for this car.

"Well, it's a lot of money. I need it for business, but there's nothing I can do about it." Sheng Xiping was afraid that his father would be unhappy, so he said carefully.

Sheng Liancheng nodded, "Well, that's the truth. If you start a company and don't have a few cars, people won't believe in your ability."

At this point, Sheng Liancheng paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "However, your driving back was a bit too much, it was too provocative.

Your father-in-law has never been in such a nice car, right? Our Secretary Zheng only got a Jeep this year.

You kid did get such a beautiful car back, but be careful that other people look at it and it won’t make you happy. "

Sheng Lian Chengdu is so old, why can't he understand? Not all the people in the forest farm are good people, some are jealous because they see others living well.

"Two days ago, Jianshe and others came back. They also brought a big color TV and a lot of things. It was quite beautiful.

Many people went to their homes to inquire, wanting to know how much money these people earned while working outside for a year.

Weiguo and the others didn't say anything. Those people came to our house again to inquire. Your mother and I didn't know anything. "

Chen Weiguo and Wang Jianshe are shrewd, but they are not comparable to those in the Great Alkali Base.

Each of them brought back a small hundred thousand, but no matter who asked, they all said the same thing, saying that they didn't make much money outside, which was better than working.

Of course, others would not believe it, but these families refused to reveal it, so it was useless no matter how curious they were.

Sheng Xiping nodded, Chen Weiguo and others are indeed reliable.

Before leaving, Sheng Xiping actually wanted to tell them not to talk about anything outside when they went home.

The main reason is that they earn a lot of money, and if outsiders find out, it will definitely cause a lot of trouble.

But when the words came to his lips, he couldn't say them out in the end.

Sheng Xiping wanted to see how these brothers were doing.

In the past, brothers would go hunting and range the mountains together, earning thousands of dollars. It was just a small amount of money. It couldn't be compared to now, and there was nothing to hide.

These brothers have made a lot of money this year. If they come back and talk about everything, they cannot be reused.

Just like those people at the Great Alkali Base, they came back with their TVs in their arms last year, and before it got dark, they went out shouting about how much money they had earned outside.

Although Sheng Xiping didn't say anything, he was still feeling very uncomfortable in his heart. That is to say, there was no way to do it because of the lack of manpower, so Kaichun took them away again. However, Sheng Xiping has hired a lot of people in Shencheng this year. The company now has enough manpower. We will see what happens after the year.

Sheng Liancheng circled the car twice more and nodded, "Okay, just drive back. If you don't drive back, the people at the forest farm will know that you are making money."

Just wait and see, our house will be full of people again before night. "

Men and women have different ways of thinking. Sheng Liancheng's reaction to his son's drive back was not that big.

As the two of them said, they took out the remaining things in the trunk and went home together.

At this time, Zhang Shuzhen also heard about the car. Her reaction was similar to Zhou Qinglan's, more worried.

However, her son was almost thirty and had his own rules for doing things, so Zhang Shuzhen couldn't say much. She only told Sheng Xiping to be careful when driving, and that was all.

The children were back to celebrate the New Year. Sheng Liancheng and his wife were naturally very happy, so they hurried to Luo for dinner.

"Mom, where is Huahua? Didn't you say she lives at home with her cubs? Why didn't you see them?"

Sheng Xiping walked around the east and west rooms, but couldn't find Huahua mother and son. He couldn't help but feel strange and asked hurriedly.

"Those three little tiger cubs have grown up and are naughty. They fight at home all day long and run back and forth between the east and west rooms.

Huahua thought they were annoying, so she took them back to the mountains. Every few days, she could come home and stay one night before leaving the next day. "

Zhang Shuzhen became happy when she mentioned Huahua and the three tiger cubs, and hurriedly explained.

Sheng Xiping nodded when he heard this. Tigers are wild beasts after all. Even if they are familiar with people, their wild nature cannot be lost.

Even if you go back to the mountains, you can train the tiger cubs' ability to survive in the wild.

The living environment will get worse and worse in the future. If the tiger cubs do not develop their skills well, they will not be able to live independently in the future.

Huahua is not too young at this age. After raising this litter, it is estimated that if she has another litter, she will almost be unable to reproduce.

What will happen when Huahua gets old?

At that time, the living environment in the wild will become worse and worse. When Huahua gets old, he can't just cross the border and live in the Far East like other Siberian tigers, right?

Sheng Xiping has been thinking about this issue recently. How can he find a way to arrange a good place for Huahua to retire safely?

No, he still had to earn more money, and in a few years he would think of a way to take over the mountains and forests near Nuanquanzi.

It's best to build a Siberian tiger park or something so that Huahua can live a stable life until she grows old.

Before that, the breeding farm must be opened first, lay a foundation, and take it step by step slowly.

"Mom, you guys should be busy first, I'll go to my master's place."

Sheng Xiping thought for a while and decided to go to Liu Yujiang and discuss with Liu Yujiang and his two brothers about contracting the operation of the breeding farm after the year.

"It's time to go to your master's place? Can you come back for dinner that night?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Shuzhen muttered, then opened the cabinet and took out a few boxes of snacks and preserved fruits.

Zhang Shuzhen bought it in the capital as a favor during the New Year.

Although Sheng Xiping has a close relationship with the Liu family and is no different from Liu Changde's own son, he hasn't been back for a year, so he has to get something nice to look at.

"Take these things and let your master and mistress taste them."

"Well, I guess I may not be able to come back for dinner at night. Anyway, if I'm not back by six o'clock, you don't have to wait for me to eat."

Sheng Xiping picked up the snacks, preserved fruits and the like and walked out directly.

When Sheng Xiping arrived at Liu's house, there were many people in Liu's house. Sheng Xiping heard the chatter and laughter in the house before he even entered the door.

"Master, Mistress. Hey, are there guests at home?"

Sheng Xiping pushed the door open and entered the house. He saw many people sitting in the east room of Liu's family. They should all be members of the Great Alkali Plant.

When everyone saw Sheng Xiping entering the door, they all stood up and said, "Oh, Mr. Sheng is here.

We just have nothing to do, so come and sit down. Mr. Sheng, please take a seat. "Someone quickly moved out of the way and asked Sheng Xiping to sit down.

Sheng Xiping put the snack and preserved fruit box on the kang table with a smile, and sat down next to Liu Changde.

"Master, these are the snacks and preserved fruits that my mother brought back from the capital. I'll give you a few boxes to have a taste.

So what, how are you and my wife doing lately? Are you feeling well? Sheng Xiping asked Liu Changde with a smile.

"Okay, your wife and I are both fine, don't worry." Liu Changde smiled so hard that he couldn't see his teeth and said angrily.

"I heard that the third child in your family is engaged? When will you get married? Will you go to the capital to hold a wedding, or will you come back to us?

If you have decided on a date, you must inform me in advance. Your wife and I must go over and help.

By the way, where is your second child? Do you have a partner? He is not young anymore, so he must marry a wife and start a family soon. "

“The specific date has not been determined yet, but it should be in June next year.

The wedding must be held here. When the date is set, I must tell Master first.

The second child in our family doesn't seem to have a partner yet. He's studying and won't finish graduate school until next year. That guy has a sluggish personality, and this wife doesn't know what ex-boyfriend she can hook up with. "

When Sheng Xi'an's marriage was mentioned, Sheng Xiping could only shake his head and sigh.

This kid will be twenty-seven next year, and he still doesn’t know where his partner is, so it’s almost going to be a big problem.

Sheng Xiping and Liu Changde were having a lively chat. When the others saw it, they couldn't stay any longer, so they all stood up and left.

After all the outsiders left, Sheng Xiping said, "Brother, please help me find out more about your commune later. I'm thinking of acquiring a piece of land here."

Set up a breeding farm to raise some deer, roe deer, pheasants, etc. It would be best to cover a section of the river, build a toad ditch, and raise some toads. "

The Forestry Bureau is still very prosperous at the moment, and it is probably not worth the money to contract the forest. Even with Zhou Mingyuan here, this procedure may not be easy to handle.

Things are different here at the large alkali farm. Members are now encouraged to contract and develop the breeding industry.

So Sheng Xiping planned to contract a piece of land from the big alkali field first and develop it slowly.

In a few years, the forestry bureau will be in bad shape, so we will think of some way to contract dozens of acres of forest on the other side of Nuanquanzi and build a Siberian tiger park so that Huahua and her children can have a place to live.

After the contract was delivered to each household in the spring, the village held another election, and Liu Yujiang was still elected as the village secretary.

Therefore, he did not go to the south this year. Instead, he worked in the village with peace of mind and developed his own ginseng land.

This autumn, Liu Yujiang found a way to get a small piece of ginseng soil. The area is not too big, about one hundred feet.

I hired two people to dig and beat the soil, and in the autumn I went to other places to find some ginseng seeds and seeds, which were planted in the ground.

He plans to develop a little more next year. If he accumulates it year by year, he will be able to make a lot of money by selling goods in three years.

He went to the south to make money, and Liu Yuhe got back a small million this year, but leaving his hometown behind was not as stable as staying at home.

Now that my parents are getting older, the two brothers can't both be outside. One of them must stay at home to take care of them.

Last year, the three brothers discussed starting a breeding farm.

Liu Yujiang took the opportunity of going to a meeting and really got in touch with the breeding farm in Donggang. They said they could sell breeding deer, mink and so on, and they could also arrange for people to come and teach the technology.

At this time, Liu Yujiang's eyes lit up when he heard Sheng Xiping mentioning old things again.

"Okay, it's easy. Let's do it after the new year. I'll go to Donggang to find Secretary Chen after the new year."

The procedure for contracting land with the village is very simple. The commune only needs to report it, and the main thing is to sign the contract with the village.

With Liu Yujiang here, wouldn't it be a matter of minutes?

"Xiping, which place do you like?

Let's plan ahead. I'll go to the commune to get a seal, and when we come back we'll go through the formalities, and we can start construction right next spring. "

Liu Yujiang is a man who does things quickly. Once you have decided to do it, don't procrastinate.

Seize the time when it is time to finalize it, and when the time comes, the procedures will be finalized and construction will begin directly.

"Brother, do you know the land owned by the forest farm's agricultural team? I'm looking at the wasteland at the west end and it's pretty good. What do you think?"

Sheng Xiping had already thought about this matter.

The land of the forest farm is about 500 acres, and it is sandwiched between the forest farm and the large alkali farm. After the agricultural team is disbanded in a few years, a small part of the land will still be forested, and the rest will be contracted out.

Put the breeding farm next to that piece of land, and wait until the forest farm wants to contract the land in a few years, and then find a way to contract it.

It doesn't matter whether it's to expand the breeding farm or to keep growing some feed or something.

The other end is not too far from the forest farm. Sheng Xiping is busy and always comes when he doesn't have time. Sheng Liancheng can go there and take a look from time to time.

Liu Yujiang nodded, "Okay, that place is fine.

Just like that, one day when I have free time, I will take a few people over to measure the size of the wasteland, and then report to the commune. "

Then, the three brothers discussed other details of setting up a breeding farm. For example, how much investment will both parties make and how specific management rights will be arranged.

The three brothers were chatting in full swing. On the other end, Qin Qiuyan led her two daughters-in-law to cook a table of delicious dishes in the outer room.

In the evening, Sheng Xiping did not go home for dinner, but stayed here.

It was rare for the three brothers to get together, so they had to drink some. Liu Changde was in a good mood, so he drank a few cups as well.

The family drank and chatted until almost eight o'clock, when it ended.

"Master, Mistress, that's it for today. I have to go home. Let's meet up another day when we are free." Sheng Xiping said goodbye to everyone in the Liu family and returned to the forest farm.

When he walked to the door of his house, he saw that the house was brightly lit.

Through the window, you can vaguely see that there are many people at home.

Without even thinking about it, the forest farm must have known that Sheng Xiping was back, especially when they saw a car parked at the east end of the Sheng family. They were all here to inquire about things.

Sure enough, as soon as I entered the room, I found that there were many people, young and old, sitting in the room.

"Hey, why are you here all the time? Look, I don't know who's at home, and I'm still drinking outside."

Sheng Xiping smiled as soon as he entered the door, but his voice was involuntarily raised, and his tongue was a little hard when he spoke.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law, hurry up and pour me a cup of tea. Don't you see that I'm thirsty?"

Sheng Xiping entered the house with unsteady steps and fell onto the kang. He seemed to be very drunk.
