Chapter 326 Giving Gifts

Seeing Sheng Xiping being punched by his son made Zhou Qinglan extremely happy.

"He's playing well by himself. You have to come up to him, so what if you don't get beaten?" Zhou Qinglan sat there, pursing her lips in amusement.

Sheng Xiping narrowed his eyes, hugged Zhou Qinglan, and kissed her hard on the face.

"If your own son is beaten, your own daughter-in-law will not be beaten again, right?" Sheng Xiping said with a proud smile.

Zhou Qinglan rolled her eyes at Sheng Xiping and said, "In front of a child, you should show some respect." After saying that, she couldn't help but feel happy.

"The child is still young, what the hell does he know?"

Sheng Xiping acted shamelessly and hugged his wife and refused to let go. He even deliberately leaned into her ear and whispered to her.

"There are still a few days until confinement, right?" The implication in these words should not be too obvious.

After giving birth during the winter transportation, Sheng Xiping went to work in the mountains. The couple separated for several months, and then came back to catch up with his wife during her confinement period.

No man can have any thoughts in his heart.

It's just that the wife has just given birth and her body has not yet adjusted. Even if she has any thoughts in her heart, she can only hold them in.

After being married for such a long time and having children, Zhou Qinglan is no longer the careless little girl she was back then. When she heard this, her face could not help but heat up.

"Be more serious, what are you thinking about every day?" After all, it was still young who couldn't get rid of it, Zhou Qinglan couldn't help but said angrily.

"You still don't know what I'm thinking about?"

Sheng Xiping loved to see his daughter-in-law looking so embarrassed and charming. He couldn't help but feel hot in his heart. He lowered his head and wanted to kiss his daughter-in-law's red lips.

"Brother, here is a letter from you, and Secretary Wang is looking for you."

At this time, the sound of old pimple Sheng Xitai was heard at the door of the west room.

When Sheng Xiping heard that Wang Jiachuan was looking for him, he couldn't help but be startled. It's already a holiday, what does Wang Jiachuan want from him?

"Uncle Wang is looking for me. I'll go over and see what's going on. I'll be back later to stay with you and the child."

After saying that, Sheng Xiping turned around and opened the door and came out of the west room. He first took the letter from Sheng Xitai's hand and saw that it was sent from Jiapigou.

At this time, there was no time to read the letter first, it was more important to go to Wang Jiachuan first.

So Sheng Xiping put the letter in his arms, went to the east room, got dressed, and hurried out.

It was dark outside now, and Wang Jiachuan was definitely not in the field, so Sheng Xiping went straight to the Wang family. "Uncle, are you looking for me?"

Wang Jiachuan was sitting on the kang drinking water at the moment. He had a banquet at Chen's house at noon, drank a lot of wine, and came back to take a nap in the afternoon.

I woke up and went to the field department to do some errands. I happened to meet Sheng Xitai playing outside, so I told Sheng Xitai that I had something to do with Sheng Xiping.

"Xiping, come on, come on, get on the kang and sit down."

Seeing Sheng Xiping come in, Wang Jiachuan warmly greeted Sheng Xiping to get on the kang, and asked his son to get a cup and pour a glass of water for Sheng Xiping.

"Oh, I called you here because I have something to ask for your help with."

Wang Jiachuan pushed the water cup in front of Sheng Xiping, motioning for him to drink water.

"Uncle, you are an elder. If you have something to do, you just give orders. Why don't you ask for anything? This is such a heretic."

Sheng Xiping was confused, a little confused as to what kind of medicine Wang Jiachuan was selling in the gourd.

"That's the thing, isn't it about to celebrate the New Year? On my end, I still have a few friends who need to move around for a while.

You said that in the current situation, our farewell was too conspicuous, and it would not be easy for others to catch us.

I was thinking, you haven't had much to do these past few days. You help your uncle wander around, go up the mountain to pull two wild boars, or roe deer or whatever. I'll calculate the money and give it to you later, what do you think? "

Wang Jiachuan is the secretary of the forest farm, and there are other bureau leaders above him. It’s Chinese New Year, so why can’t he move around? But what to give is quite embarrassing.

Nowadays, things are tight. It’s hard to give away items that are too eye-catching, as they can easily be taken advantage of.

Wang Jiachuan has been worried about this matter for several days and has been unable to sleep.

I happened to go to the Chen family for a wedding banquet today. When I heard that Sheng Xiping led his friends to the mountains to get the meat and vegetables at the banquet, Wang Jiachuan suddenly had an idea.

There is a shortage of non-staple food these days, especially during the Chinese New Year. Whose house doesn’t have visitors? Do you need to prepare some delicious treats when someone comes to your house?

But many times, money may not be able to buy it.

Wang Jiachuan thought about it and asked Sheng Xiping to help him with some wild boars and roe deer in the past two days. The family just happened to send some.

It doesn’t stand out, but it can also bring benefits to others. Isn’t this a happy outcome for everyone?

Sheng Xiping understood as soon as he heard that Wang Jiachuan was going to move up, and he didn't know what to give.

"Uncle, you told me earlier, it's already this time, do you still have to rush?"

Tomorrow is the twenty-seventh day of the twelfth lunar month. Who can guarantee that hunting in the mountains will be so accurate? What should I do if I don’t meet anything?

He could go up the mountain several times in a row, but time wouldn't keep up with him. Wouldn't this delay things?

"It's time to catch up, it's time to catch up, there are still a few days to celebrate the New Year. You just have to get it back, and leave the rest to me.

Don’t worry, I promise I won’t lose anything to you. We’ll pay you as much as you deserve. "

Wang Jiachuan looked at Sheng Xiping with a smile and expectation.

"Uncle, if you want to withdraw money in our relationship, then I won't care about it.

Since you said there's no rush, I'll take the dog for a walk in the mountains tomorrow and hunt whatever I encounter. "

The relationship between the two families was so good. If Wang Jiachuan spoke back, could Sheng Xiping still ask for money from him?

You can't do this just because you're looking for money. If Sheng Liancheng finds out about this, why don't you beat him to death?

"Hey, okay, okay, then I'll leave this matter to my nephew."

When Wang Jiachuan heard what Sheng Xiping said, he felt very happy, so he called his wife and asked Tao Chunhong to quickly pack a few dishes and leave Sheng Xiping at home for dinner in the evening.

"Uncle, I came home after eating well in Weiguo. Now I'm not hungry at all. Don't keep Auntie busy.

Well, if there's nothing else, I'll go home first.

Early tomorrow morning, I will lead the dog into the mountains. As I said before, I will pull on whatever I encounter. I will use it if it works. If it doesn't work, I will go up the mountain to look for it. "

How could Sheng Xiping eat at Wang's house? He quickly stopped him.

It's getting late. Now that the matter has been explained clearly, it's time to go home and rest. We have to go up the mountain tomorrow.

In this way, Sheng Xiping said goodbye to Wang's house, and Wang Tianqing and Wang Tiancheng followed him outside the gate. They watched Sheng Xiping walk away before returning home.

It was already dark outside, and the cold wind was blowing.

When Sheng Xiping came out of Wang's house, he first went to Liu Changde's place and brought back some of his dogs.

This was for Wang Jiachuan. Sheng Xiping certainly couldn't accept money from others, so naturally it was difficult to ask Wang Jianshe and the others to help.

So he thought about bringing back his dogs and taking them up the mountain to hunt whatever they could.

Besides, with the Chinese New Year approaching, it’s hard to let the dog stay at Liu’s house for the Chinese New Year.

As for the family, Sheng Xinhua is about to give birth, so there should be no big deal.

Sheng Xiping took the dogs home and tied them up before entering the house.

"What's going on? I heard from Lao Liu that Secretary Wang is looking for you? What's the matter? Is it about recruitment?"

Zhang Shuzhen was making food for Zhou Qinglan in the kitchen. When she saw her son coming back, she asked casually.

"It's not about recruiting workers. Uncle Wang wants me to help him hunt a wild boar or a roe deer or something.

Isn’t this the New Year? Maybe it's for visiting relatives. "

Sheng Xiping took off his hat and hung it on the wall, took off his coat, and casually explained to his parents.

"I just went to my master's place and brought back all our dogs. Tomorrow I will go up to the mountains with my second and third sons and hunt whatever we can."

Sheng Liancheng and his wife understood immediately upon hearing this that it was normal to visit relatives and friends during the Chinese New Year.

"Oh, it's rare for your Uncle Wang to ask you for anything. No matter what, you should be more attentive and make things nice for others."

Sheng Xiping obeyed his parents' advice and sat in the east room for a while, waiting for the coldness to dissipate from his body before returning to the west room.

Zhou Qinglan happened to be eating there, and Sheng Xiping took out the letter from his arms and read it carefully under the lamp.

The letter was sent from Jiapigou. Chen Ruiqing said in the letter that he had contacted Lijiawa.

After receiving the money and the letter, Shao Minzhi took her daughter and found a way to go to Jiapigou to help in the mine, and settled her mother and daughter in a nearby farmer's home, which was considered a reunion of the couple.

Chen Ruiqing was very grateful to Sheng Xiping for being able to take Chen Feng to Qianchuan to raise him.

Chen Ruiqing is now an engineer in a gold mine, but he is not free yet. He can only communicate with the outside world by writing letters and cannot leave Jiapigou.

So Chen Ruiqing asked Sheng Xiping to help him take care of Chen Feng for a while.

When there is an opportunity in the future, the couple will definitely go to Qianchuan Forest Farm in person to express their gratitude in person.

"Whose letter is it from?" Zhou Qinglan asked after finishing her meal when she saw Sheng Xiping was lost in thought while holding the letter.

"Oh, it's a friend of mine. Last time I went to the Hongshi Forestry Bureau, I met a few friends from the forest farm. Isn't it almost the Chinese New Year? I want to write a letter to say hello."

Sheng Xiping made up a random reason to fool Zhou Qinglan.

These affairs of Chen Ruiqing's family are full of loopholes. It's unclear how they will be resolved in the future. Sheng Xiping doesn't dare to let the second person know about this matter.

As Sheng Xiping spoke, he put the letter in his pocket, then collected the dishes and chopsticks that Zhou Qinglan had used after eating, took them out, and put them in a pot to soak in hot water.

While there was no one in the outhouse, Sheng Xiping threw the letter and envelope into the pot pit.

There was firewood burning in the stove pit. As soon as the letter was thrown in, it immediately burned and turned into ashes in an instant.

In the past two days, I have been hunting in the mountains and helping the Chen family. I would be lying if I said I wasn't tired.

There was nothing to do in the evening. Sheng Xiping cleaned up early and went back to the West Room to be with his wife and son.

The little guy Sheng Xinhua was very worry-free. He woke up three times in the night. It was Sheng Xiping who heard the noise and changed the baby's diaper, then packed it up and gave it to Zhou Qinglan to breastfeed.

On the 27th and 28th of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Xiping took his two younger brothers and six dogs into the mountains.

Two sows were shot, and one fell dead every year. At the same time, a roe deer, a few hares and so on were caught in the noose.

On the evening of the 28th, the little tiger Huahua came again and presented a roe deer.

On the morning of the 29th, Sheng Xiping went to Wangjiachuan to report the results of the battle.

Wang Jiachuan was particularly happy when he heard this and said that he could just leave him two pigs, one big and one small, and a roe deer, and let Sheng Xiping keep the rest for the New Year.

Sheng Xiping thought about it and realized that there was almost no room for meat in the warehouse at home. There would be something to eat during the New Year.

So I discussed it with Wang Jiachuan, borrowed some money from Wang Jiachuan, and went to Songjiang River together to send some things to my father-in-law and Zhao Yongsheng.

In this way, Wang Jiachuan called the forest farm's motorcycle card and took Sheng Xiping, Wang Tianqing, and Wang Tiancheng down in the car.

Wang Jiachuan called in advance, so the bureau arranged a car to pick him up.

Sheng Xiping gave half a pig, a roe deer, and several rabbits to his father-in-law's family, and half a pig to Zhao Yongsheng.

By coincidence, Wang Jiachuan also gave Zhao Yongsheng half a pig and half a roe deer. This made Zhao Yongsheng and his wife extremely happy.

"Oh, Iakawa, Xiping, how can I thank you so much?

To tell you the truth, I was worried about getting married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year in Guangning. I was looking for meat tickets everywhere and asked people to find connections, but I didn't get much meat.

Oops, non-staple food is in short supply this year, and the bureau doesn’t offer any benefits during the Chinese New Year. I’m so worried that I don’t know what to do.

Now, now that you two have brought these meats, you don’t have to worry about hosting a banquet. "

Zhao Yongsheng took the hands of Wang Jiachuan and Sheng Xiping and said with gratitude.

"Uncle, why didn't you tell me? If you had told me earlier, I would have taken people up the mountain to pack more and bring it to you."

Sheng Xiping really didn't expect this.

When Sheng Xiping thought about it, Zhao Yongsheng was the head of the bureau and the chief secretary. Wouldn't it be a piece of cake to hold a banquet for his son's wedding?

Sheng Xiping had already planned to give Zhao Guangning a fine porcelain tea set as a gift when he got married, which was decent and high-end.

After all, the son of the bureau secretary's family is getting married, so I'm worried that others might think it's too frivolous if I give him something too practical.

The original intention of this half-drawn pig was to visit during the Chinese New Year and give some new year's goods. Sheng Xiping really didn't think about anything else.

"Oh, no, no, no, the meat you and Lao Wang sent is enough for the wedding.

Thank you very much for this, it solves an urgent need. "

Zhao Yongsheng was extremely cautious in dealing with things. That is to say, he had a good relationship with Wang Jiachuan and Sheng Xiping, and the gift was an urgent need, so he accepted it.

If it were someone else, or something else given as a gift, Zhao Yongsheng wouldn't be able to accept it at all.

"I don't feel like leaving today. You have to stay here. Let's have a drink."

Zhao Yongsheng was so happy that he grabbed Wang Jiachuan and Sheng Xiping and refused to let go, insisting that they stay at home for dinner.

"Old Zhao, it's really not possible today. The car and driver are waiting at Sentie. We agreed when we came that we would leave after delivering the things.

You are looking at the Chinese New Year now. You are busy at home and cannot delay it. In the next year, wait until Guang Ning gets married and have a few more drinks then. "

Wang Jiachuan and Sheng Xiping spent a lot of effort in the morning to sort out the pigs. When they got to the Sentie Railway on their motorcycles, it was already one o'clock.

This is Zhao Yongsheng's first one, and there are several more to come. How can we delay here with Zhao Yongsheng?

Zhao Yongsheng failed to try to stay, so he had no choice but to let Wang Jiachuan and the others leave.

This time, Zhao Yongsheng sent it to the door in person and repeatedly told him to wait until the sixth day of the first lunar month for Wang Jiachuan and Sheng Xiping to bring their families to attend the wedding.

After leaving Zhao Yongsheng's place, Sheng Xiping went to his father-in-law's place, and Wang Jiachuan went to several other leaders.

As the Chinese New Year approached, Wang Chunxiu went to work with others and led Zhou Qingyue to clean up and make some food at home.

When Sheng Xiping went there, the two women were kneading dough and steaming steamed buns.

Wang Chunxiu was naturally very happy to see his uncle coming and taking so many things. He kept asking Sheng Xiping about the situation of Zhou Qinglan and the child.

Sheng Xiping chatted with his mother-in-law and brother-in-law at Zhou's house for a while. Before three o'clock, he left Zhou's house and went straight to Sentie.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, everyone met at the Forest Railway, got on the motorcycle and returned to the forest farm.

Then Wang Jiachuan had to drag Sheng Xiping and the motorcycle driver to his house for a meal before letting them go home.

I was busy with my work, and the day passed like this. When I woke up, it was already New Year's Eve.
