Rebirth in 1970: I work as an educated youth in a forestry farm

"I wonder, Dad misses you. Don't you think he's here to take you home?"

Sheng Xiping hugged his daughters one by one and coaxed them.

Over there, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu also fed the meat in their hands to the three tiger cubs, and then ran up to Sheng Xiping.

"Dad, we are just playing with Big Fat and Two Fat." The two boys felt a little guilty.

They saw the circus animals on TV, all of which were very obedient and had special skills. On a whim, they wanted to train the tiger cubs.

Unexpectedly, my father discovered me just a few days after training.

“I won’t allow it anymore, this is not what you should do.

Our Tiger Forest Park is only to protect and rescue the endangered Siberian tiger. It has no other purpose and does not interfere with the tiger's freedom. "

Although Sheng Xiping did not discipline the children, his expression was not good. He had to let these naughty children know that Hulin Park was not a place for them to mess around.

"Oh, I got it, Dad." Sheng Xinhua and the others were quite afraid of Sheng Xiping. When they saw their father being so serious, they quickly agreed.

"Okay, pack your things and come home with me. It's the New Year's Eve tomorrow." Sheng Xiping's expression softened and he said softly.

"You guys are almost done. You will celebrate the New Year soon and go back to relax for a few days."

The children did not dare to disobey their father's words, so Sheng Xinhua led his younger brothers and sisters back to the dormitory to pack their clothes and luggage.

Here, Sheng Xiping played with the three tiger cubs for a while and listened to the staff report on the recent situation.

Huahua left the tiger cub in the Tiger Forest Garden, went out to hunt at night, and came back to sleep and take care of the baby during the day.

The little tiger cubs are growing vigorously under the care of Huahua and the staff. Currently, the three tiger cubs are all strong and no abnormalities have been found.

Huanhuan and Lele should have their own territories, but every now and then, the two tigresses would come back to stay for a few days.

There are exclusive enclosures for Huanhuan and Lele in Hulin Garden. Anyway, Huahua doesn't care about them, and she won't hurt them when her daughter comes back.

According to the patrol officers' observations, Huanhuan and Lele must have reached their estrus period and are looking for partners.

"Thank you for your hard work, I have been living in this mountain for many years.

Well, have you made arrangements for the holidays during the Chinese New Year? Just leave a few people on duty here.

Also, have you received any New Year’s benefits or anything like that? If it hasn't been sent yet, I'll have it sent over. "

Now that Sheng Xiping is here, he must care about the lives of his employees.

Although the Hulin Garden is under the jurisdiction of the province and Sheng Xiping does not have direct management rights, he is the investor, so he still needs to be concerned about it.

"Don't worry, Mr. Sheng, the holidays have been arranged. We will take the holidays together, leaving five or six people on duty.

New Year's bonuses and benefits have been given out, including rice, flour, oil, fruits, fish, meat, etc. There are quite a lot of them. Thank you Mr. Sheng. "The staff responded one by one.

Since everything is normal here, there is no need for Sheng Xiping to interfere too much.

Just as the children packed their things and came back, Sheng Xiping led the four children away and returned to the forest farm.

When they got home, the food was ready, so the children washed their hands and got on the kang to eat.

While Sheng Xiping was eating, he told his family what he saw when he went to Hulin Garden.

When Sheng Liancheng and the others heard this, they couldn't laugh or cry. These naughty kids were so capable.

This year not only Sheng Xiping returned to the forest farm to celebrate the New Year, but Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo and others took their wives and children back to the forest farm after returning from Jinmen.

It's rare that the brothers are all at the forest farm, and each family has made money. Who cares about the year before and after, and each family begins to take turns treating guests.

Today this family will kill a pig, and tomorrow that family will kill two sheep. Either they will eat the slaughtered pig dishes, or they will cook the mutton in a pot.

Liu Yuhe went even further. He killed two deer directly and invited everyone to eat roasted deer meat.

Sheng Xiping saw that the brothers were so tough that he couldn't do anything at home.

So, he asked someone to buy a cow and slaughter it directly. On the twenty-eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, he invited a group of brothers to a feast of the whole cow.

Sauce beef, boiled beef, braised beef brisket, spicy shredded beef, braised beef liver with onions, tender stir-fried beef, dry beef head meat, spiced beef heart and tongue, beef meatball soup.

When cooking at home, you don’t pay attention to so many fancy things, just two words, it’s real.

There were eight dishes and one soup, and the portions were generous. The staple food was beef pie and steamed beef dumplings. This meal was so fragrant that everyone was so fragrant that they all had red faces.

"Thanks to the skills of my aunt and sister-in-law, the beef is so delicious. Oops, I'm so full today that I can't walk."

Zhang Zhijun rubbed his belly as he spoke.

I haven't eaten less delicious food when I came home these days. I used to go to sea and come back with sallow faces and thin muscles, but my stomachs are gone. In the past few days since I have been home, I have gained back all the fat and gained some weight.

"Oh, what's going on here? You can eat as much as you like. We killed a cow. It's so exciting." Zhang Shuzhen laughed after hearing this.

The house has not been so lively for a long time, and the older people are proud of this lively atmosphere.

"No, I can't eat anymore. I feel like I'm about to eat up to my throat."

When Wang Jianshe and others heard this, they all waved their hands, and then everyone laughed.

Everyone gathers together not to eat anything, but to have a festive atmosphere.

After dinner, everyone sat on the kang, drank tea and chatted.

"Hey, by the way, brother, I heard someone say that at your base, someone lost money playing mahjong and lost all his ginseng land.

Later, he couldn't afford to lose, so he directly killed the person who won his money? "While chatting, Gao Haining suddenly asked Liu Yujiang.

In the past two years, playing mahjong has become popular, and it is played in forest farms and large alkali farms.

Especially at the big alkali field, sticks were worth a lot of money in the past few years, and every household was quite wealthy.

Now that I have money, no one goes to work in the mountains anymore after winter, and most of them stay at home doing nothing.

A group of people get together to play mahjong all day long, and the winner and loser are determined. At first, the score is 2 cents, and later on, the score is 1, 2 cents or even higher.

We can also play here at the forest farm, but in winter most people go up to the mountains to work logging, so they don’t have time. In summer, there are various side jobs, and there is less time to rest and not much fun.

"Ah, that's what happened. The main reason is that they played too much, winning or losing hundreds or even thousands in one night.

That kid was also very good at memorizing ideas. He lost for several days in a row and lost all his belongings.

In the end, he lost a lot of money that night and killed the person who won his money. Liu Yujiang was stunned for a moment, then nodded.

In the past few years, the Great Alkali Field has not stopped, and everything has happened. As the village party secretary, he has done enough.

"Are you playing so crazy? That's not true, is it?"

Sheng Xiping came back late and really hadn't heard about this. Now that he heard it, he couldn't help but be a little surprised.

What kind of family is this? You can win or lose thousands by playing mahjong in one night?

"Didn't I hear that the price of sticks has dropped a lot? Life is hard, why do you still want to play with such a big one?" Sheng Xiping was puzzled.

"Ahem, it's just that life is hard, so I want to take evil ways.

Later I found out that the boy had fallen into a trap, and several other people were trying to trick him.

Otherwise, can we lose a red eye and attract people? Liu Yujiang shook his head and sighed.

"Did you hear this? You can't get involved in this bet, and no one who gets involved will do well.

Be careful in the future and don't get involved with those people. Once you fall into the pit, it will be difficult to climb out. "

Sheng Xiping looked at Chen Weiguo and others and reiterated his views.

"Xiping, don't worry, we people are not involved at all. When we go to sea, we are strictly prohibited from gambling."

Liu Yuhe laughed as soon as he heard this. They were not those who didn't count.

Liu Yuhe and Chen Weiguo had been repeatedly told by Sheng Xiping many times not to take this gamble.

Everyone is obedient. No one is allowed to gamble even if they go to sea for a long time and the sea is so boring.

In the days since I returned to the forest farm, many people have approached Chen Weiguo and the others to play, but they have all been rejected.

With that kind of money, wouldn’t it be a good idea to buy some food for your wife and children? Wouldn't it be nice for the brothers to get together and have something to eat and drink?

Why do you have to go through that addiction and lose your money to others?

These people are all wealthy people, but they know better that nine times out of ten they will lose when gambling, so they must not touch that thing.

"Well, it's good to know." Sheng Xiping nodded, these brothers are still trustworthy.

Everyone played at Sheng's house until evening, and then they went home to rest.

Treat guests on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month, rest on the 29th, and then turn thirty.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen were very happy after not celebrating the New Year at the forest farm for several years. Even though the second and third children could not come back, they had prepared a lot of food.

When they got up early on the day of their thirties, everyone in the Sheng family started to be busy until about three o'clock in the afternoon. The reunion dinner was ready, and the family happily sat down on the Kang to eat.

As per the old rules, before eating, Sheng Xiping took a few photos of everyone.

In the past few years, he has become accustomed to using a camera to record life anytime and anywhere, especially during holidays, when he takes a lot of photos.

These will be precious memories in the future.

The table is full of delicious dishes and rice, many of which are beef.

The family killed a cow. Apart from eating some on the day of the treat and sharing some meat with each family, there was also a lot of meat left.

It's frozen in the tank outside, and there is another tank, so I must find a way to cook it and eat it.

Fortunately, the children are very happy to eat beef, and Zhang Shuzhen also cooks it in different ways for the children.

"Come on, eat more beef and you will grow strong. Look at the people on the grassland who eat beef and mutton all day long. How strong they are."

Zhang Shuzhen gave the children some meat and put it in bowls.

How many children don’t like to eat meat? All of them were like blind midges, stinging at the meat. Needless to say, Zhang Shuzhen said, these children also ate less.

The two children, Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi, are actually ten years old, but they are actually only eight years old. It is the time for their teeth to change.

At present, both girls have lost eight teeth, and other teeth have also been lost due to movement and have not yet grown back.

Despite the two children's gaping teeth, it didn't stop them from eating meat. They each held the ribs and chewed them.

Oddly enough, most children these days lose their teeth on their own without any effort at all.

Unlike later generations, life was good, but it was really troublesome for this child to change his teeth.

Many children have to go to a dental office to have their baby teeth extracted before their baby teeth can fall out. Moreover, the replacement of teeth also takes a very long time, in some cases several years.

“Dad, mom, and wife, please be careful during the Chinese New Year and don’t let these two girls eat too much sweets.

They are changing teeth, so don't affect the new teeth. "Sheng Xiping thought of this and hurriedly asked his mother and daughter-in-law.

Especially mom and dad, they dote on their children so much that they are reluctant to eat anything delicious and leave it to their children.

"Yueyue, Qiqi, you two will be ten years old after the Chinese New Year. You are both big girls. If you want to be obedient, you have to know how to be ugly. Do you understand?

You two are in the process of getting your teeth replaced. You have neat, whitened teeth. When you go out, people say that these two girls are really handsome.

If those teeth are protruding in and out, twisting and turning, and you have big yellow teeth and big black teeth, no one will be willing to play with you, do you understand? "

Not only the parents are told, but the most important thing is the children. The children must have this awareness themselves.

Not to mention that teeth can be repaired, but the repaired teeth will not be as good as the original ones.

The two little girls are in the second grade. They are quite sensible and know what is beautiful and ugly.

So when dad said this, the two girls nodded enthusiastically, "Dad, we understand, we will definitely eat less sugar."

Regardless of whether they can do it or not, the attitude of the two children is absolutely correct.

"Okay, let's have a good meal. After dinner, go to sleep. Let's make dumplings tonight."

Sheng Xiping smiled and brought some more vegetables to the children so that they could have a good meal.

There are only a few people in the family, so the Chinese New Year doesn’t seem to have the same atmosphere.

Sheng Liancheng is getting older and rarely drinks alcohol nowadays. Brothers Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xitai did not mention this problem.

So this reunion dinner was eaten very quickly, and everyone was full in a short time.

After the reunion dinner, Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan started preparing dumpling fillings for the evening.

There is a lot of beef at home this year, so they plan to make dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions.

Zhang Shuzhen specially selected a piece of beef shank and asked Sheng Xitai to chop the meat into stuffing.

After the meat filling is minced, add seasonings, onion and ginger water in batches, stir clockwise until the meat filling is stirred to a certain extent, and leave it there.

Don't rush to put the green onions in. Just chop the green onions and stir them in before making the dumplings.

There are fewer people at home this year, so we don’t need to make so many dumplings. I start at 7:30 in the evening, and they are all finished before 9:00, just in time to watch the Spring Festival Gala in peace.

The past few years are not the same as before. The Spring Festival Gala is becoming less and less attractive to children. The sketches are okay, especially the songs, dances, dramas, etc., which children do not like to watch.

Not only one family, but many other families were the same, so Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu ran out to play with lanterns made of cans and bottles.

This year, every family went back to the forest farm to celebrate the New Year, and the children all gathered together, cheering in a big group, and setting off firecrackers outside.

Nowadays, life is getting better, and there are many types of firecrackers. Sheng Xiping and the others bought a cardboard box of fireworks and firecrackers for the children to play with.

One of Sheng Xinhua's favorites is called Sanhuacracker.

When this thing was ignited, it first circled on the ground, emitting three different colors of fire, and then exploded with a loud noise.

My family bought several boxes of three-cornered firecrackers. Sheng Xinhua took a bagful of them, lit one and threw it on the ground. The cannon would then glow yellow or green and whiz around on the ground. It was very fun.

At this time, it is the time to compete for strength. Everyone has cannons in their pockets, and it depends on who can fire the cannon loudly and who can fire it beautifully.

A group of children, no matter how cold it was outside, their faces were all red from the cold, and some had big noses, they still had a great time.
