Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 481 Wu Yucheng is here

"Oh, oh, there's another thing to say, I'm really not sure." Zhou Mingyuan nodded after hearing this.

"Well, if you can't keep a dog, it's OK to connect it to the power grid or something. Anyway, our bureau has no problem with power supply now."

In the past few years, the bureau has successively built several small hydropower stations, which has solved the power supply problem of various forest farms. It can provide power throughout the day, and there is no need for power outages at nine o'clock in the evening like before.

Zhou Mingyuan chatted with Sheng Xiping for a few words. Just as the food was out of the pot, he hurried to eat.

"Xiping, let's not drink alcohol this noon, there are still a lot of things going on in my unit.

A few days ago, a professor from the Finnish Forestry Research Institute, as well as officials from their National Forestry Board and the development manager of Roma Ripula Company, organized a three-person inspection team to visit our bureau.

The bureau has been busy for a long time to receive them. After dinner, I have to go back to the bureau quickly. "

If Wang Chunxiu hadn't called and said that Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Xiping were here, Zhou Mingyuan wouldn't have been able to go home for dinner at noon.

He was busy with a lot of things at the work unit, so how could he have time to drink with Sheng Xiping?

"Dad, I have to drive back to the forest farm in the afternoon, so it's okay if I don't drink. My mom made this table of dishes, so we can just have a good meal."

Not sure what was said on the other end of the phone, Zhou Mingyuan hung up the phone and stopped eating.

Before eleven o'clock, the dumplings were out of the pot, and the firecrackers and fireworks were all set off outside. Zhang Shuzhen ordered everyone to go inside and eat dumplings.

"The lace ones are stuffed with fish meat. How do you like these fish dumplings? This is our first time making them. I don't know if they are delicious."

So I ran out with a lantern and set off firecrackers with a group of friends outside.

Sheng Xiping had no intention of drinking at all. Although there were no arrests for drunk driving these days, he had to pay attention.

Especially in the middle of winter, the outside is covered with ice and snow, and there is no trace of green. It is rare to have a bowl of meatball soup with coriander at this time.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are both grown up, and they can't stay home for a while, and the TV doesn't have anything to attract them.

"Forget it, hurry up and cook the dumplings. I'm too anxious to watch this party."

Wash the leeks and put them aside. Before making dumplings, chop the leeks into small pieces, add them to the meat filling, mix well, and then start making dumplings.

Sheng Xiping hurriedly took the bowl, picked out a meatball and ate it, then took a sip of the soup, "Well, these meatballs are delicious and so fresh."

The children were so energetic that they didn't feel the cold at all. Their little faces were all red from the cold outside, but they didn't care. They had a great time.

This is not what the mother-in-law said on purpose. Coriander is added to the meatball soup, which can suppress the greasiness and fishy smell of the meat and make the soup more delicious.

In order to entertain Zhang Shuzhen and her son, Wang Chunxiu cooked six dishes and one soup.

However, this year's Spring Festival Gala was held at the Capital Workers' Stadium. Due to various restrictions, there were many situations during the live broadcast.

Wang Chunxiu served Sheng Xiping a bowl of soup and brought it to him.

"Xiping, try this meatball soup.

Since the advent of television, the Spring Festival Gala held every New Year's Eve has become a must-see program for the Sheng family.

Take another piece of pork fat, chop it into pieces, mix it with the fish, and add seasonings.

Because an elderly person died in the family, the Sheng family still did not post couplets or hang red lanterns this year.

Before nine o'clock, the Sheng family had finished making dumplings, just in time to watch the Spring Festival Gala in peace.

It was only half past ten, and Zhang Shuzhen couldn't help it anymore, so she went down to boil water to prepare dumplings.

As Zhou Mingyuan spoke, he put on his coat and hat and hurried away.

Sheng Xiping brought back a lot of big fish from the Heilongjiang Province. In the afternoon, the family reunion dinner included steamed seven-grain floats and catfish fillets. These were the two most popular dishes at the family reunion dinner. Everyone said the fish was delicious.

It happened that Lao Yu's family brought over a handful of home-grown leeks, which were so tender that Zhang Shuzhen couldn't bear to fry them. They were perfect for making dumplings with fish and meat fillings.

In order to watch the Spring Festival Gala, Zhang Shuzhen started chopping stuffing, kneading noodles, and making dumplings as soon as she finished her afternoon meal. She made dumplings earlier so that she could concentrate on watching the Spring Festival Gala.

Everyone in the Sheng family couldn't help but shake their heads and sigh while watching the program on TV. After having such a good Spring Festival Gala, they really didn't know what to say.

"Eat more if it tastes good. There is a lot in the basin." Wang Chunxiu looked at his uncle with a smile, as if he was ready to serve him another bowl of soup at any time.

There is a leap October this year, so the New Year is celebrated on February 19th.

The audience at the scene were all shivering from the cold, while the audience in front of the TV were scratching their heads and scratching their heads anxiously. Some of the short-tempered ones often cursed.

Therefore, this year’s New Year’s Eve dumplings, in addition to the traditional radish, cabbage and pork fillings, also have fish and leek fillings.

The fish was quite big, and I couldn't finish it in a short while, so Zhang Shuzhen thought, she might as well get some fish meat and make dumplings.

So, Zhang Shuzhen directed her daughter and daughter-in-law to take out large pieces of fish flesh, stab them, and then chop them into minced meat.

The leeks placed in the fish stuffing are tender, watery and difficult to wrap, so they are specially made into lace dumplings.

These naughty kids were not afraid, they didn't even cover their ears, they all clapped their hands happily.

In this way, neither Weng nor son-in-law drank, but just ate silently.

While eating, the phone on the table suddenly rang. When Zhou Mingyuan heard this, he quickly put on his shoes and went to the ground to answer the phone.

"In-laws, Xiping, you have a good meal while I go back to the bureau. That three-person team has returned from an inspection at Baixi Forest Farm. Why can't we arrange for them at noon?"

Zhou Mingyuan left. Sheng Xiping and others finished their meal and chatted with Wang Chunxiu for a while. Seeing that it was getting late, they also said goodbye and went back.

The soup was made of minced venison and stewed meatballs, with some chopped green onion and coriander sprinkled on top. You don’t need to eat it, but you will find it delicious as soon as you smell it.

The coriander was given to me by someone else. Her house has a large space and she built a few wooden troughs on the window sill. She planted some leeks, green onions, coriander, etc., which are perfect for eating at this time. "

This group of gangsters had firecrackers in their pockets. They held lit incense in one hand and took out the firecrackers from their pockets with the other. They lit them and threw them to the roadside, making a loud bang.

"Yes, let's all have a try." Sheng Liancheng took the lead, picking up a fish and leek dumpling and putting it in his mouth.

He deliberately didn't dip it in garlic sauce or vinegar, just to eat it plain.

Not to mention, as soon as this dumpling enters your mouth, the fish meat is mixed with the fresh fragrance of leeks, and it tastes great.

Especially because there is some pig fat in the filling, the fish filling is not bad at all, it is moderately tender, and with the juice of the leeks, it is so delicious that you can't wait to swallow it all with your tongue.

"Well, it's delicious. It's so fresh. Come on, try them all. It's so delicious. I've never tasted such bright dumplings."

Sheng Liancheng swallowed the dumpling in two mouthfuls, nodded and praised.

Then everyone moved their chopsticks and picked up the fish-filled dumplings and put them in their mouths.

"Hmm, um, it's delicious. It's really delicious. The taste is amazing."

Sheng Xitai nodded repeatedly as the dumplings entered his mouth. For a foodie, there is no way to refuse such delicious food.

The fish and meat dumplings were welcomed by everyone. Almost no one touched the cabbage filling dumplings. They all rushed to the lacy fish and meat dumplings. It wasn't until she finished eating the fish and meat dumplings that Zhang Shuzhen came back to her senses, "Oh, no, my wallet is in the dumplings stuffed with cabbage and radish."

The dumplings stuffed with fish, meat and leeks were not easy to make, so Zhang Shuzhen did not put money, dates, peanuts or other things in them, but put them in the dumplings stuffed with cabbage and radish.

As a result, everyone went to eat fish and meat dumplings and completely forgot about the money.

"Quick, eat some more." Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly cleared away the empty plates and urged everyone to eat more.

"Mom, I can't eat anymore. I'm full." Sheng Xitai touched his belly and said with a wry smile.

I had already eaten quite a lot in the afternoon, and I just ate a lot of dumplings. Where is there any extra room to stuff them?

"Well, I can't eat anymore. Mom, let's save the dumplings for tomorrow morning." Sheng Xiping also smiled.

Zhang Shuzhen took a look and saw that the children had eaten a lot. If they couldn't eat it, they couldn't force it. Yes, keep it for tomorrow.

Everyone has finished eating the dumplings, but it seems that the program on TV has not even finished half of it.

Everyone was a little uninterested, but it was not yet twelve o'clock, so they couldn't go to bed at this time, so they could only sit on the kang and watch the actors' performances overcoming difficulties under the dim lights on the TV.

The clock rang at twelve o'clock, and the new year officially arrived. The children happily greeted the new year, and Sheng Liancheng and his wife happily took out their red envelopes and gave them lucky money.

The two girls, Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, took a nap in the afternoon and finally stayed up until this point just for the red envelope.

Now that they had received the red envelope, the two girls couldn't stand it any longer and moaned to sleep.

So Zhou Qinglan coaxed the two girls back to the west room to sleep, while the others sat on the kang and watched TV for a while.

In the end, they all felt it was boring, so they simply turned off the TV and went to sleep.

The Chinese New Year is a time for visiting relatives and friends, eating and drinking. After a busy year, people can finally relax, have a good rest and enjoy a few days.

Since the morning of the first day of the Lunar New Year, people from the Sheng family have been paying New Year greetings, one after another.

Many people knew that Sheng Xiping's factory was recruiting workers, and took the opportunity to pay New Year's greetings and came to inquire about the news.

In recent years, although the bureau and forestry farms have been recruiting workers one after another, there are still many unemployed young people left.

Some of them look down upon workers in private factories and are still waiting for the bureau to recruit workers.

Even for large collectives and agricultural and forestry workers, they can still be regarded as iron rice bowls, and they are better than workers in private factories.

Of course, there are a large number of people who don’t think so.

On the left and right are unemployed people waiting to be recruited. Since there is a job now, let’s go and do it first.

The recruitment advertisement for Huayang Wood Products Comprehensive Processing Factory stated that the conditions were very good and the salary was high. No matter where you were, you had to earn money first.

In the future, when the bureau has policies to recruit workers, they will just come back.

There are many unemployed young people in forest farms who are interested, let alone rural areas. Regardless of whether it is a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise, being a worker can always make more money than farming.

How great would it be if workers would come to work and get off work at a certain time, rain or shine, and they would be paid when they go to work?

It's not like farming. You just rely on the sky to make a living. If God favors you, you will be a little rich this year. If God doesn't reward you any year, it will be difficult to fill your stomach.

Therefore, not only people from the forestry farm came to inquire, but also many people from the large alkali farm came to sit down and ask about the specific situation of the factory's recruitment, taking advantage of the New Year greetings.

During the Chinese New Year, everyone is a guest at their door. No matter who comes, the Sheng family will entertain them warmly.

When people asked about the factory, Sheng Xiping tried his best to explain. However, Sheng Xiping did not interfere in the specific matters of recruitment.

After recruitment and registration, training must be conducted, and jobs will be arranged based on the training results.

Sheng Xiping ignored those who wanted to come over to build relationships and ask Sheng Xiping to arrange a relaxing job.

In this way, the first and second days of junior high school passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, it was the third day of junior high school.

Originally, Sheng Xiping was supposed to accompany Zhou Qinglan back to her parents' home on the third day of the lunar month, but Zhou Qingyue got engaged on the sixth day of the lunar month, so Zhou Qinglan said that they would go back on the fifth day of the lunar month to help the family prepare.

On the sixth day of the lunar month, she and Sheng Xiping had to accompany their parents and younger brother to the county.

Therefore, Sheng Xiping and the others did not return to Songjianghe on the third day of the lunar new year, but stayed at the forest farm to accompany their families.

At noon, another wave of guests came to pay New Year greetings. Zhou Qinglan had just cleaned up the melon seed peels, peanut shells, candy wrappers and other garbage on the ground and dumped it into the stove pit.

I heard hurried footsteps outside, and then Zheng Hua quickly entered the house. "Sister-in-law, where is my brother Xiping?"

"What's wrong in the house?" Zhou Qinglan was stunned and pointed to the east room.

Zheng Hua didn't say anything else, and entered the east room in two steps, "Brother, that Aunt Li called and said that your friend, Xikang's uncle, came to Songjianghe."

Nowadays, few individuals install telephones, and it is more difficult to install telephones on the forest farm, so the Sheng family did not install telephones.

Generally, if anything happens, you call the floor department. Someone from the floor department answers the phone, or shouts through a loudspeaker, or arranges for someone to notify you.

By coincidence, Zheng Hua happened to be playing cards with a few people in the court today.

Suddenly the phone rang. When I answered it, it said it was for Sheng Xiping.

Zheng Hua quickly picked up the phone and asked carefully, only to find out that the call was from Aunt Li, saying that it was Sheng Xikang's uncle who had come to Songjianghe.

The Zheng family had a good relationship with the Sheng family, and Zheng Hua had been with Sheng Xiping for so long, so he knew a lot of things.

So when Aunt Li said she was Xikang's uncle, Zheng Hua immediately understood that this person should be Sheng Xiping's partner.

So Zheng Hua put down the phone and hurried to Sheng's house to report the news.

"What the hell? Xikang's uncle? Yu Cheng? You can't, right?

On the third day of the Lunar New Year, this kid is not staying at home. What is he doing in the Northeast? "Sheng Xiping was stunned when he heard it, and his first reaction was that he didn't believe it.

Sheng Liancheng and his wife were also confused. Why did the Wu family come at this time? What are you doing here?

"Xiping, go to the field department quickly, call home and ask what's going on." Sheng Liancheng came to his senses and hurriedly urged his son.

Sheng Xiping also knew it, so he hurriedly put on his coat and hat, and followed Zheng Hua out.

The two of them came to the venue together, and Sheng Xiping called himself.

"Brother, it's me, Yu Cheng. I'm at your house now. Why don't you come down and pick me up? I don't know the way to the forest farm."

As soon as the call was connected, Wu Yucheng's irritating voice came from the receiver.

"No, Wu Yucheng, is there nothing wrong with you? You're not at home during the Chinese New Year, so why are you coming to the Northeast?"

Sheng Xiping held the receiver and asked without holding back.
