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

There were few people at home and it wasn't that lively, so Zhang Shuzhen said she would cook dumplings early and finish eating early to rest.

At half past ten, the water in the pot boiled. Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan went to cook dumplings, while Sheng Liancheng led his children and grandchildren outside to distribute paper, place offerings, and set off firecrackers.

Just as the dumplings were cooked and the firecrackers outside were set off, the young and old happily went inside to eat dumplings.

The dumplings stuffed with beef and green onions have more meat and less green onions, and there is a meaty egg inside the thin dough.

The filling of the dumplings is well prepared, juicy enough, and the aroma of meat is mixed with the aroma of green onions in your mouth. It is always delicious.

"Well, it's delicious. These dumplings are really good tonight. Come and eat, and have some more."

Sheng Liancheng nodded while eating, then picked out the ingot-shaped dumplings from the plate and placed them on the small plates in front of the children.

In order to comfort her children, Zhang Shuzhen specially made a few Yuanbao dumplings with money in them.

Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu are already old, and they have long known the tricks used by their grandparents.

Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi were still young, and they had enough money to eat, which made the two girls dance with joy.

Just like that, I coaxed the children to eat more dumplings.

This kind of dumplings, which are almost pure meat, is particularly impressive. I can’t eat much of them without feeling overwhelmed.

These days, my family cooks delicious food every day, and I often go to various restaurants for dinner. There is no shortage of oil and water in my stomach, and I eat even less.

After a while, everyone put down their chopsticks. Zhang Shuzhen looked at the table and saw that there were still several plates left.

"Why can't you eat now? There is so much left, let's save it for tomorrow."

So, the remaining dumplings were brought down, the table was cleared, and the family sat on the kang and watched TV.

This year's Spring Festival Gala program was okay. There were a few cross talk skits that were quite interesting, and everyone enjoyed watching them.

After a while, the twelve o'clock countdown came, and the family looked at the clock on the wall and thought silently in their hearts.

When the twelve o'clock bell rang, Sheng Xiping took his wife and children to pay New Year's greetings to his parents.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen sat on the kang, looking at their children and grandchildren with smiles on their faces, not to mention how beautiful they were.

"Happy New Year, happy New Year, everything is good. Come, here is the red envelope for you, take it all."

The old couple took out the red envelopes they had prepared and distributed them to the children.

The children took the red envelopes and went to play happily.

Sheng Liancheng sat on the kang and looked at Sheng Xitai, "Old son, you are the only unmarried person in our family.

Hold on tight, find a partner as soon as possible, wait until you graduate from graduate school, and get married when it's time. "

Of the six children in the family, only the old one is still missing. Sheng Liancheng usually doesn't say anything, but today he couldn't hold it back and started urging the marriage.

When Sheng Xitai heard this, he scratched his head in embarrassment.

"Dad, you are too anxious. I will graduate in a year and a half, so why are you in such a hurry?"

"Why aren't you in a hurry? Don't you have to get in touch with your partner first? Otherwise, how can you get married right after graduation? You can't just find someone on the street and get married, right?"

Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Liancheng had the same idea. They couldn't get married right now, so they could just get along first.

We've been together for a year or two, we're all familiar with each other, and our relationship has matured. We just graduated and got married. How great?

"While I'm still in good health now, if you get married and have children soon, I can still take care of the confinement period and help take care of the children.

In a few years I will be 80 years old, what else can I do? "

Zhang Shuzhen was born in 1933 and will be fifty-eight after the Chinese New Year. When Sheng Xitai graduates, gets married and has children, Zhang Shuzhen will be over sixty.

As people get older, each year is getting worse. No matter how late it is, Zhang Shuzhen is afraid that she will not be able to help her children, but will have to ask others to take care of them.

Just as Sheng Xitai opened his mouth to say something, the phone on the cabinet rang. He rushed over and quickly grabbed the phone.

"Second brother, happy New Year, um, um, our parents are here, please wait a moment."

It was Sheng Xian who called back. Sheng Xitai turned around and called his parents to come and answer the phone.

As soon as Sheng Liancheng and his wife heard that the call was from their second son, they quickly moved to the kang, took the call, and chatted there.

Sheng Xi'an and his wife, together with Sheng Xinyao, wished their elders New Year's greetings on the phone.

Especially Sheng Xinyao, a little person with a sweet and crunchy voice, who kept the old couple grinning from ear to ear with her New Year greetings.

Sheng Xian had just finished the phone call, and then Sheng Xikang, Sheng Yunfang and others also called back one after another to wish their parents, brother and sister-in-law New Year's greetings.

Afterwards, Sheng Liancheng asked his son to call his hometown and called Sheng Lianyi and Zhang Shouzhi to wish them a happy New Year.

This round of phone calls will be faster.

Although Sheng Xinhua and others had slept a little in the afternoon, they were still so sleepy that they fell asleep. So everyone packed up and went to bed.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, people put on new clothes, tidied up neatly, and went out in high spirits to visit relatives and friends to pay New Year greetings to each other.

Sheng Xiping and others are all at the forest farm this year, so the house is particularly lively, with a constant flow of guests from morning to night.

After another day of playing on the second day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xiping accompanied Zhou Qinglan and the children to the provincial capital to visit his father-in-law.

After seven or eight hours on the road, we finally arrived at the place in the afternoon.

Naturally, they were extremely happy to meet relatives. Zhou Mingyuan and his son took Sheng Xiping to sit down and chatted affectionately.

Wang Chunxiu led his daughters-in-law to quickly pack up the food and prepare for dinner.

Zhou Mingyuan is 61 years old this year, so he should retire this year.

He has done well in the Black Province in the past few years and has achieved outstanding results in all aspects. Significant results have been achieved in attracting investment and comprehensive utilization of forest products.

There are popsicle stick factories, disposable wooden chopstick factories, blinds factories, floor block factories, wood carving factories, plywood fiberboard factories, etc., all of which have good benefits.

The forest economy has also laid a very good foundation. It has signed contracts with some medicinal material companies and beverage factories to plant medicinal materials, small berries, and cultivate medicinal and edible fungi, etc.

The superior leaders admire Zhou Mingyuan very much. It seems that they intend to keep Zhou Mingyuan for a few years.

Zhou Mingyuan has no idea about this. As long as the organization needs it, it doesn't matter if he retires a few years later.

Zhou Qingyang has also developed very well in the army. He has led the soldiers and cadres under him, made meritorious services many times, and has been praised by superiors many times.

At present, it is very likely that he will be promoted to the next level.

Of course, this step is quite difficult, and the competition is fierce. It is still unknown how it will turn out, and it still needs to work hard.

Zhou Qingyue works at FAW. He graduated from the University of Technology, has a good academic background, and his work ability is also outstanding. The leaders value him very much and promote him one after another.

In general, the three Zhou family fathers and sons have developed very well, the couple is harmonious, the family is harmonious, and the life is very comfortable.

Zhou Mingyuan hadn't seen Sheng Xiping for a while, so he had to ask what Sheng Xiping had been doing recently and how he was doing.

Sheng Xiping picked up what he could say and chatted with his father-in-law and uncle, and couldn't reveal anything else.

On the third day of the Chinese New Year, the uncle's family came to visit, so he had to make something delicious.

Wang Chunxiu led the two daughters-in-law to prepare two tables of delicious food, and took out a few bottles of good wine, so that Zhou Mingyuan and his sons and three of them could accompany Sheng Xiping and the two drivers to have a good drink.

Wang Chunxiu and her mother-in-law accompanied Zhou Qinglan, eating and chatting.

Although the children rarely met, they were not unfamiliar. They chatted and laughed together, which was quite lively.

Zhou Qingyue's son Zhou Xuhong was five years old. The little guy was also very naughty, not shy at all, and played well with his brothers and sisters.

In the evening, the two drivers went out to find a hotel to stay in, and Sheng Xiping and others stayed at Zhou's house to squeeze in.

Zhou Qinglan, Wang Chunxiu and her two sisters-in-law slept on the same kang, chatting until midnight.

On the fourth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xiping went to Chen Ruiqing's place.

Chen Ruiqing is more than ten years older than Sheng Xiping, and is now almost fifty years old.

He is still in the position of deputy provincial governor, focusing on business and foreign trade. It seems that there will be no changes in the short term.

Shao Minzhi is also over forty years old. She has lived a good life in recent years and does not look old.

She is fatter and whiter. She is almost two different people compared to when she was in Lijiawa Brigade.

Chen Feng is a senior at Xi'an Jiaotong University. He studies very well and has been admitted to the same university.

Chen Yue took the college entrance examination last year and got good grades. She was admitted to Northeast Normal University and became Zhou Qinglan's schoolmate.

Chen Ruiqing and his wife are very satisfied with the arrangements for their two children.

When their son grows up, he should go out and make a living.

As for their daughter, it is better for her to be closer to home so that her parents can take care of her.

In the future, I will find a partner in this city to marry, close to my parents' home, and I can come back every week to have a meal. What a good thing.

"Don't say it, my brother's arrangement makes sense. It's better for my daughter to be closer to home.

Look at my two sisters, one in Shanghai and the other in Guangzhou, they have settled there. They can only come back once or twice a year during the Spring Festival. If there are special circumstances, they can't even come back during the Spring Festival."

Sheng Xiping nodded repeatedly in agreement when he heard Chen Ruiqing say this.

"It's mainly because you have the conditions, your family is in the provincial capital.

Like my family, for the sake of the children's future, they must go far away." Sheng Xiping sighed as he spoke.

The two sisters married so far away, and I'm afraid that my two daughters will be the same in the future, and I don't know where to marry.

Whenever he thought of this, Sheng Xinping felt depressed.

"Look at what you said. With your family, do you still care about this?

When your Yueyue and Qiqi take the college entrance examination in the future, you should let them register in the same city.

Wherever they go to study, they will probably find a job, date, and get married there. Then you can just buy a house there, right?

When your sister-in-law retires, it doesn't matter where you two live." Chen Ruiqing gave Sheng Xiping advice with a smile.

Sheng Xiping thought it made a lot of sense.

"Yes, yes, let's do it. Let them choose a better city when the time comes."

The two doting girls were talking about how to arrange their daughters in the future, while Shao Minzhi and Zhou Qinglan were speechless and shook their heads.

"Sister-in-law, listen to what these two are talking about.

Oh my God, whoever marries our daughters in the future has to be careful. This father-in-law is deadly enough."

Shao Minzhi blankly looked at Chen Ruiqing and said with a smile.

"So what? I have cherished my daughter for more than 20 years. If I don't support her, who will?

Let me put it this way. No matter who my daughter marries in the future, if that boy dares to treat her badly, I will slap him to death."

Chen Ruiqing snorted. No matter what others said, his daughter would never be bullied.

"Yes, my brother is right. This is how it should be." Sheng Xiping nodded repeatedly. He thought so too.

"Sister-in-law, let's go to the room and chat. Don't pay attention to them.

You don't know that since our Xiaoyue went to college, your elder brother has been like this, asking Yue about the situation in school every day."

Shao Minzhi was speechless and dragged Zhou Qinglan to another room to chat.

Sheng Xiping and his family spent a day playing at Chen Ruiqing's place and went back to Zhou's house to stay at night.

On the fifth day of the first lunar month, Sheng Xiping asked Zhou Qinglan to take his children to stay with their parents and relatives at home, while he and Chen Ruiqing went to visit several provincial leaders.

In the evening, I also had a meal with a group of leaders to keep in touch.

On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife were leaving for Heilongjiang.

Zhou Mingyuan was getting older and tired from work, so Wang Chunxiu had to go and take care of him.

This elderly couple is each other's companion and cannot always live in two places.

Zhou Qingyue's son Zhou Xuhong is five years old and three and a half years old. After school starts, Han Manxue plans to send the child to a nursery.

Zhou Qingyue and Han Manxue's workplaces both have nurseries and childcare classes. They drop them off right in the morning when they go to work and pick them up in the evening when they get off work, so there is no delay.

The New Year is celebrated early this year, and the holiday after the New Year is long, so Zhou Qinglan doesn’t have to rush back to work.

So on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Sheng Xiping and his family went to Bingcheng with Zhou Mingyuan and his wife to visit Sheng Xi'an and the others, and stopped by to see the conditions of the furniture factory and the mineral water factory.

Sheng Xi'an was working on some project with her father-in-law Feng Jingyi. She only had two days off on New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year, and went back to school on the second day of the new year.

Sheng Xinyao was born in 1985. She is six years old this year and is in the Yuhong class.

Isn't this the New Year's school holiday? Feng Shuyan would also go to work after the new year, so Sheng Xinyao was sent to Feng's house, under the supervision of Qiao Hui.

When Feng Jingyi and others learned that Sheng Xiping and his family were coming, he quickly gave himself and Sheng Xian a half-day off to go home to meet them.

These relatives of the Qiao family in Bingcheng also came to the Feng family, and everyone got together to have a good time.

After a while, Sheng Xiping left a driver behind to accompany Zhou Qinglan, mother and son to play in Bingcheng, while he headed to Tieli to visit the Huayang branch there.

Huayang Tieli Branch Factory specializes in various types of panels and domestic furniture.

In recent years, Huayang Furniture Factory has set up sales departments all over the country, and has also entered major supermarkets.

Nowadays, people's lives are getting better, buildings are being built in many places, and new furniture is very popular.

Huayang Factory happened to seize the opportunity and can be said to be the leader in the furniture market.

The branch factory has a lot of orders and is very busy. We took three days off during the Chinese New Year this year and started working on the third day of the first lunar month.

Sheng Xiping walked around the various workshops of the branch factory. There was orderly production everywhere, and fire prevention and sanitation in the workshops were also done well.

"Okay, that's good. Don't lose money to the workers during the Chinese New Year, and give them all the subsidies they deserve.

The food in the canteen must also be good. Each meal must have two meat dishes. It must be real and not messy.

Workers must be well fed so that they can have the strength to work. "

At noon, Sheng Xiping ate in the canteen. Instead of eating in a small stove, he ate in a big pot with the workers.

He was quite satisfied with the food in the cafeteria.
