Rebirth: the fiery age of Mori Gong's children

Chapter 498 Veterans
The next day after Sheng Xiping returned home, he quickly went to his father-in-law's house with gifts.

Brothers Zhou Qingyang and Zhou Qingyue came back to celebrate the New Year with their wives and children. Everyone was particularly happy to see Sheng Xiping.

Zhou Qingyue got married in the summer, and his daughter-in-law Han Manxue is now more than four months pregnant. She doesn't show her pregnancy very well, and her figure is quite nimble.

Han Manxue's mother and sister both said that she was probably pregnant with a boy.

The Zhou family doesn't really care. It doesn't matter if they are girls or boys. A daughter is no worse than a boy if she is successful.

Sheng Xiping divided the gifts he brought back among everyone. Everyone looked at the exotic objects and found them quite strange.

Zhou Mingyuan and his son, the three of them, had to ask Sheng Xiping about border trade matters, Mao Zi's side.

It's rare for the two of us to get together, so naturally we have countless things to say, rambling about here and there, and maybe this topic has gone astray.

"Xiping, you're late. A while ago, Capital Television came to our station to shoot exterior scenes. A lot of people came, including the deputy director."

While chatting, Zhou Mingyuan suddenly remembered this matter and mentioned it.

"Really? Oh, that's because I didn't catch up and missed it. Dad, what were they filming? Is it a documentary or a TV show?"

You also know that there are many unemployed young people in our bureau and the labor force is idle. There are multiple mineral water factories that can absorb a lot of people. "Zhou Mingyuan explained in detail.

As soon as Sheng Xiping heard this and came to the scene, he immediately understood what was going on. If that person were in charge, this mineral water idea should be achievable.

Okay, this project is fine. If the bureau doesn't have enough money, I can invest some. "

The father-in-law is devoted to planning for the bureau and solving the problems of unemployed young people. Sheng Xiping has no other skills, but he still has money, so he can help.

"That's no problem. Our bureau still has some financial resources. In terms of marketing, the deputy director Xu who participated in the first event is very smart. He must have a solution.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he became interested and hurriedly approached his father-in-law to inquire in detail.

Weng and his son-in-law were chatting in a lively manner when Zhou Qingyang caught the hint and hurriedly interjected.

"Dad, if this mineral water factory is built, will it need a lot of workers? Can we accept some veterans?"

Zhou Qingyang sighed. He felt uncomfortable and panicked when he saw his brothers who had fought their lives together and were discharged from the army one by one and returned home, but could not find a job.

From what I heard, they wanted to promote mineral water internationally and earn foreign exchange.

"Oh, it turns out to be this TV." Sheng Xiping nodded after hearing this.

I’m not picky here, don’t worry about rural areas and towns, it’s all fine. Don't worry about salary or anything else, just keep it to their satisfaction. "

Sheng Xiping nodded, "That's right, state-owned enterprises are easy to handle." Sheng Xiping could understand this.

Zhou Mingyuan remembered the last time Sheng Xiping wanted to invest in building a factory and waved his hands hurriedly.

"Dad, although I haven't met that person in the field, I have heard a lot about him.

The Heihe border trade side is short of a lot of manpower. I plan to develop in Moscow next year and I also need people.

Do you think this can be done? "Zhou Mingyuan has now developed a habit of consulting his uncle to discuss important matters.

This drama is very good to watch. It is said that it received a good response after it was aired. It won many awards in 1987.

Sheng Xiping was overjoyed when he heard this. He was particularly short of manpower now, especially in the border trade area. A few hundred people would not be too many.

When Sheng Xiping heard this, he was very happy. He really wanted to sleep on the pillow, and he was in need of someone.

They developed a mineral water before and the sales were very good. This time they took a fancy to the spring water in Songshan Forest Farm and said they wanted to cooperate with our bureau to develop it.

I really didn’t expect that there were exterior scenes of the northeastern forest area.

Xiping, it’s not that dad is having an affair with you. We are both state-owned enterprises. Cooperation and other matters are easy to handle and the procedures are easy to approve.

"Brother, what's going on? Do you have a veteran brother over there who you want to resettle?"

"It seems to be a TV series, what is it called? Oh, by the way, "Triumph at Midnight"." Zhou Mingyuan clapped his hands and remembered the name of the TV series.

Although we are a private company, our salary is high and we have a lot of benefits.

If there are more individuals involved in this, I am afraid that the superiors will be worried about this and that, and it will be difficult to handle. "

Especially those veterans who have high physical fitness, good obedience, and their own strengths. If we can recruit two hundred or three hundred people, what are we worried about?

"Brother, you can help me find out later. If there are people who don't care about private companies, let them come to my place.

"Isn't that what it is? Isn't this a big reduction in the army? There were a lot of veterans last year, and it is said that there will be further reductions this year.

"Developing mineral water? It's possible, but it costs a lot of money, mainly because the equipment needs to be imported. Can our bureau afford it?
Furthermore, you have to use your brain carefully in marketing this thing, otherwise you won’t make money. "

"They came here just to shoot outdoor scenes, and the bureau arranged for someone to accompany them up the mountain to shoot."

"Oh, then if you go out the door, there will be no problem. Foreigners will recognize this thing." Sheng Xiping immediately laughed after hearing this.

“My dad’s mineral water factory is a large collective, and even if it accepts veterans, they still have to have an urban household registration.

Sheng Xiping finally caught the opportunity, how could he miss it?

"No, no, the bureau has been fine in the past two years, and we can make money.

"Then when you are waiting for it to be broadcast, you must take a closer look to see where the shots are in our forest area."

Nowadays, it is not easy to arrange for those with urban household registration, let alone those with rural household registration. There is no arrangement at all. Some just go home to work in farming. "

"One more thing, didn't the Donggang No. 1 venue reach an in-depth cooperation with us?

Those who have rural registered permanent residence and cannot find a job when they return, if they are willing to come, I welcome them here. "

When Zhou Qingyang heard this, he also opened his eyes, "Oh, what's wrong? Why did you think I forgot about you?"
Okay, I'll report to the leader later and see if this can be done. "

This was an unintentional trick. Lang's uncle and brother-in-law hit it off immediately and immediately agreed to find a way to contact the contact person after Zhou Qingyang returned to the army.

When my daughter-in-law comes back, she must make something delicious.

Wang Chunxiu led his daughter-in-law to work all afternoon and cooked a table of delicious dishes. Zhou Mingyuan led his son and uncle to have a few drinks.

Come back to heaven, it’s New Year’s Eve.

When Sheng Xiping came back from Heihe, he brought nothing else except some Maozi specialties.

Fortunately, there are a lot of things prepared at home. Liu Yujiang sent a deer and a roe deer. When Sheng Xiyun sent apples here, he specially brought some frozen sea fish and prawns.

The two pigs Sheng Liancheng caught at the beginning of spring were slaughtered a few days ago. When they came down from the forest farm, Liu Yujiang drove them, and he happened to bring the pork as well.

In addition, Zhou Qinglan's work unit distributed it and she bought it at home, so she was well prepared for the New Year. In the past few years, the elderly Sheng and Zhang families have passed away one after another. Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen both have filial piety, so they are still not allowed to post couplets or hang red lanterns this year.

So after breakfast, Sheng Xiping pulled out a wire from the house, along with a light bulb, and hung it directly on the clothesline outside, that's all.

Sheng Xi'an and others helped clean up the yard and clear out the snow, and then the brothers chopped some more firewood.

When Sheng Xiping and his wife first moved here a few years ago, firewood was transported from the forest farm.

A new house is being built later, and coal is used for heating, that is, firewood is used for cooking, which saves money on burning.

After the processing plant opens, just scraping some leftover materials from the factory will be enough.

Some time ago, Zheng Hua specially loaded a large truck of sawn boards, so he didn't have to worry about the fire at all.

The brothers worked together and worked all day long, saving enough to burn for half a month, and stacked them all in the woodshed.

The Sheng Xiping brothers were busy chopping firewood, while Zhang Shuzhen led sisters Zhou Qinglan, Sheng Yunfang, and Aunt Li to cook in the kitchen.

Sheng Xinze and Sheng Xinyao are still young and cannot live without people. Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are just in love and playing. Xin Yue and Xin Qi are still young. Where can they comfort their children?

Sheng Liancheng was idle, but he couldn't handle so many children by himself.

So Feng Shuyan and Wu Yuhua did nothing and stayed in the house to coax the baby.

Sheng Xiping was worried that the two little ones would be cold, so he burned the earth heater and the boiler early in the morning. The room was very warm, and the two little ones were wearing small sweaters and thin cotton trousers, and had a good time playing on the kang.

Sheng Xinze was a little older and could sit, so he just sat there by himself, holding a small rattle dangling in his hand.

Xinyao was two months old and couldn't sit, but she had already learned to roll over, so she would go back and forth on the kang. Sometimes she would lie down and watch her brother play, and sometimes she would lie down and chew her feet.

Wu Yuhua and Feng Shuyan both follow the elders' method of raising children, which is to try not to hold the children.

Children are like this, and it's not easy to change if they make mistakes.

Both Wu Yuhua and Feng Shuyan have jobs, and their families hire nannies. Nannies can’t hold their children all day long, right? What else can you do?
Therefore, the two principles for raising children are that the children should play by themselves if they can, and they should not be allowed to get up and play when they can lie down.

When the child cries, just coax him some more. He must not get used to his bad habits.

The two daughters-in-law were coaxing the children in the house, and Sheng Liancheng's husband couldn't be around, so he went outside and wandered around the house.

He would see where there was work and stretch out his hands to do some work. If there was no work, he would stand at the gate and look at Sheng Xin Hua, Sheng Xin Yu and the two naughty boys.

Ever since they passed the New Year, these two children have never stopped carrying firecrackers in their pockets, and they would go outside to set off firecrackers when they had time.

Sheng Liancheng was worried about his grandsons, fearing that something might happen to them, so he simply kept an eye on his two grandsons.

Everyone worked hard for a long time, until after three o'clock in the afternoon, all the food was ready, so two tables were set and the reunion dinner began.

"Come, come, everyone, pick up your glasses, let's have a drink.

This year is the most complete year for our family. The second and third oldest children have returned with their wives and children. The whole family is lively and lively. Mom and I are very happy.

As we get older, we don’t ask for anything else. We just hope that you can come back and reunite with us often. "

After everyone sat down, Sheng Liancheng picked up his wine glass and spoke first.

"I won't say anything else, boss, second, and third. I wish you all a successful career, a harmonious couple, and a happy family.

Fourth and fifth, you two have graduated and are working, and your parents have no other requirements. It’s time to consider personal issues, find a suitable partner, and get married as soon as possible. "

Sheng Liancheng was particularly happy today and talked a lot more than in previous years.

"Thank you, dad. We must listen to our elders and not let our parents worry." Sheng Xiping and the others also picked up their wine glasses and responded with a smile.

"Dad, there is me, why don't you talk about me?" Sheng Xitai was anxious. Dad sent blessings to his brothers and sisters, so why didn't he mention him?
"You, just study hard." Sheng Liancheng glanced at the old man and said with a smile.

"You are the youngest in our family, and your parents don't have any requirements for you. You study hard. If you can go to graduate school, go to graduate school like your second brother. If you don't go to graduate school, then work hard."

As the oldest child in the family, her elder brothers and sisters have achieved success. Now the Sheng family is living a better life, and there is no need for Sheng Xitai to work early to make money.

Therefore, Sheng Liancheng hopes that his son can take another step forward and learn more things, which is better than anything else.

"Oh, I know, I will work hard." Sheng Xitai thought the same thing. He is still a student now. Besides studying hard, what else can he do?
"Grandpa, grandpa, there are us, why don't you talk about us?" On the other end, Sheng Xinhua Sheng Xinyu, who was holding a hawthorn beer, asked eagerly.

"You guys, it's even simpler. Just study hard and grow up healthy. Grandpa has no other requirements."

Sheng Liancheng smiled and said to his grandchildren with a kind face.

"Come, let's take a sip. This wine is from the mountain grapes I picked in the autumn. We brewed it ourselves and put a lot of rock sugar in it.

What do you think it tastes like? I also brewed Schisandra chinensis wine and soft date wine. You can all taste them later. "

After saying his New Year's greetings, Sheng Liancheng lowered his head and took a sip of wine.

The four Sheng Xiping brothers also followed and took a sip of wine. As for the women and children, they naturally drank hawthorn beer.

Wu Yuhua and Feng Shuyan were still breastfeeding, and the hawthorn beer was quite cold. They were afraid that drinking too much would be bad for their children, so they took a sip.

However, Sheng Xinhua, Sheng Xinyu and others didn't care about that. They just drank one cup.

The reunion dinner was very sumptuous, including chicken, duck, and fish. The most unusual thing was undoubtedly the large plate of shrimps.

The Northeast, especially Jilin Province, is located inland and not close to the sea, so there is no way to eat seafood.

There are shrimps in the river, which are so small that they can only be fried and eaten with their shells on.

Prawns like this in the sea are still rare in this day and age, and everyone feels strange when they look at them.

Therefore, the last item at today’s reunion dinner is the plate of shrimps.

"Milk, I want to eat this, a prawn." Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi were at the table on the Kang. They couldn't peel the shrimp shells, so they pointed at the shrimp and said loudly.

"Shh, keep your voice down, my brothers and sisters are asleep, don't wake them up. Come on, grandma will help you."

Zhang Shuzhen made a gesture, then picked up two large shrimps and began to pick them for her granddaughters.

The two little ones were asleep, and Feng Shuyan and Wu Yuhua were able to have a peaceful meal. When their mother-in-law was picking up shrimps for their little niece, they also helped.

"Thank you, second aunt, thank you, third aunt." The two little girls were quite polite. Seeing their aunt pick up the shrimps and put them in their bowls, they hurriedly thanked them.

"You're welcome. Eat quickly. Auntie will cook it for you when you're done."

The two girls were cute and well-behaved. Wu Yuhua and Feng Shuyan liked their nieces very much, so they gave them a few pieces of ribs and other things for the children to eat as they pleased.
