Chapter 273 Educated Youth Congress

"Oh, that's what happened, then go ahead and remember to wash your hands with soap and change clothes before going back to the house to eat.

Your sister-in-law can't smell these strange smells. If she vomits, I will settle the score with you. "

At this time, no one was as important as his wife and children, so Sheng Xiping threatened his younger brothers and sisters mercilessly.

"I know, mom said so too." Sheng Xikang and others responded impatiently.

These days, they don't know how many times they have heard the same words, and their ears are almost getting calloused?

Sheng Xiping shook his head and stepped into the house from the outside. He happened to see Zhou Qinglan putting away the food in the outhouse.

"Daughter-in-law, I'm back. I miss you so much."

While there was no one in the outhouse, Sheng Xiping stepped forward and kissed his wife on the face.

"Don't be ridiculous, our parents are in the house." Zhou Qinglan rolled her eyes at her husband, but couldn't help but smile.

The two of them have been separated for several days. A short separation is better than a newlywed, not to mention that they are newlyweds in the first place. How can they not want to panic?

"Come into the house quickly and talk to our parents while I serve the food."

After Zhou Qinglan was three months pregnant, her reaction was not so severe.

I don’t vomit much in the morning, and I don’t react that much to the smell of cooking fumes. My overall appearance is much better, my face is rosy, and my eyebrows are affectionate.

With this pursed smile, Sheng Xiping's eyes widened. Only after Zhou Qinglan pushed him did Sheng Xiping come to his senses and step into the house.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back. The training went very well. I have passed it. I will issue the certificate in a while." Sheng Xiping entered the room and greeted his parents.

"Okay, just let it pass smoothly. Oops, there is no bus to our forest farm today, how did you get back?"

Sheng Liancheng smiled and nodded, and suddenly remembered that there was no car going back today.

"Walk back from Ma'anshan again? Why are you walking all the way back?

You make a phone call back. It just so happens that the factory recently went down to inspect the machine, so wouldn't they bring you back? "

Sheng Liancheng figured out what was going on after a moment's thought, and felt sorry for his son. He must have suffered so much by walking back on such a hot day.

"It's not bad. It's not too hot when walking in the woods. We're all used to it. There are people keeping company on the road. We chat and laugh and we get home quickly."

Sheng Xiping smiled, these people have been running in the woods for thirty miles since they were young, and they don't take it seriously at all.

"Okay, just come back, wash your hands, and let's eat.

I don’t know if you come back, just make some food at home. Whatever you want to eat at night, mom will cook it for you. "

Zhang Shuzhen just entered the house to look for something. She didn't mean to let her daughter-in-law work in the kitchen. She went into the house to enjoy herself.

"Mom, don't be too busy in the summer, just make home-cooked meals. You sit down while Qinglan and I clean up."

It's too hot in summer, so it's good to eat something light, but don't be too fussy, it will make the kang too hot and you won't be able to sleep well at night.

After Sheng Xiping finished speaking, he went out to wash his hands and help bring food into the room.

The few outside worked hard and finally squeezed out the fish. They quickly went inside to wash their hands and changed their clothes before sitting down to eat.

After lunch, Sheng Xiping asked Zhou Qinglan for money from selling bear bile in the afternoon.

At that time, Sheng Xiping was living in a guest house for training and study. He could not carry so much money with him for fear of losing it, so on the night when he sold the bear bile, Sheng Xiping took the time to give the money to his wife for safekeeping.

Now that he's back, shouldn't he quickly distribute the money to everyone? So that everyone doesn't think about it.

Eleven people entered the mountain, and Sheng Xiping was the leader. He, Wang Jianshe, and Chen Weiguo killed the brown bear together, so they had to get more points and the others less.

In the end, Sheng Xi got an equal share of 120 yuan, plus the money for deer antler, this time it was more than 300 yuan.

Sheng Xiping and others came back from training and heard that their results were good, and everyone in the field was very happy.

Wang Jiachuan encouraged several young people to work hard. As long as there are recruitment quotas in the future, they will definitely be indispensable.

"By the way, your father-in-law called just now and asked your brother-in-law to go home quickly. He said that he hadn't finished his summer homework yet, so he should go back and do it."

Wang Jiachuan suddenly remembered that he had just received a call from Zhou Mingyuan in the morning, so he quickly spoke to Sheng Xiping.

Zhou Qingyue lived in the forest farm for some days, but he was very happy to miss Shu. Could his family be happy?

Although the Sheng family is good, it is only Zhou Qinglan's husband's family after all. How can a brother-in-law live in his brother-in-law's house all the time? There is no such rule.

So Zhou Mingyuan called and urged his son back.

The Sheng family didn't care about this, but the Zhou family kept urging her, and Zhou Qinglan also sent her brother home to do his homework.

I thought all he did was play in the forest farm, and he went crazy while playing. He didn't even touch a word of his summer homework.

"Just in time, there is a small train the day after tomorrow morning. You should hurry up and take the train back. I'm going to bore you to death and you won't even listen to me."

Zhou Qinglan calculated that there was a train on the 23rd the day after tomorrow, so he asked his brother to go home the day after tomorrow.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen didn't care about the large number of people in their family, but after Zhou Qinglan said this, they couldn't say anything else.

Sheng Liancheng only quietly told Zhang Shuzhen that he would cook something delicious tomorrow as a way of putting it into practice for Zhou Qingyue.

By coincidence, Liu Yujiang came over in the evening and gave half a piece of pork to the Sheng family.

It turned out that the Liu brothers had nothing to do these days, so they took their dogs into the mountains to hunt. They happened to kill two wild boars and sent them to the Sheng family.

Now, Zhang Shuzhen got busy. On the night of the 22nd, she made dumplings and stewed meat, and cooked a lot of delicious food.

Zhou Qingyue was so happy that she wished she could live at her brother-in-law's house all the time.

On the morning of the 23rd, Zhang Shuzhen fried dumplings for Zhou Qingyue, brought him some food and some meat, and sent Sheng Xikang to take Zhou Qingyue to the small train station.

Zhou Qingyue left Qianchuan Forest Farm carrying large and small bags and went home to do his homework.

Here, the second round of silviculture production began, and Sheng Xiping led people to invest in production.

But this time, there is a slight change, there are more people working.

The children who graduated from high school this year have been arranged by the Educated Youth Office to go to the mountains nearby to become educated youth.

Sheng Xian and other students from the Qianchuan Forestry Farm, about twenty of them, were all arranged to live in collective households and work and live together with the original educated youths.

In order to allow the newly arrived educated youth to familiarize themselves with life as quickly as possible and to facilitate management, the educated youth team was divided into two teams. Wang Jianshe and Guo Yongping became the team leaders, and each of them assigned a part of the old educated youth to lead the new educated youth.

The second pass of shoveling saplings in silviculture production is easier than the first pass.

Especially since the educated youth team now has a large number of people, everyone has been busy for seven or eight days. This year's forestry production operations are considered to be completed.

"Xiping, a document came from the province, saying that a province-wide meeting of educated youth representatives going to the mountains and countryside will be held.

Our bureau recommends you as an outstanding educated youth representative and goes to the provincial capital for a meeting. "

In the evening of that day, Sheng Xiping led his people back to the forest farm. As soon as he got off the commuter bus, before he could go home, he met secretary Wang Jiachuan.

Wang Jiachuan notified Sheng Xiping and asked him to go to the provincial capital for a meeting.

"Uncle Wang, you want me to go to the provincial capital for a meeting?" Sheng Xiping was stunned when he heard this.

As an outstanding educated youth, representing the overall educated youth, go to the province to hold a meeting? Ouch, such a good thing happened to him?

"Yeah, what else is there to say?

Not only are you the most outstanding educated youth in our forest farm, but you are also one of the best in the overall situation. If you are not allowed to go, who else can be allowed to go? "

Wang Jiachuan was also very happy. There were more than a dozen forest farms and management offices in the bureau, but only educated youths from Qianchuan Forest Farm were selected. In Wang Jiachuan's view, this was definitely the forest farm's glory.

"You go home and pack quickly. The venue will arrange a car to take you to the bureau tomorrow.

At that time, our bureau will arrange for someone to accompany you to the provincial capital for the meeting. "Wang Jiachuan patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder excitedly.

"Xiping, perform well, I think that as long as you keep making progress, your future will definitely be better than my uncle's.

Boy, you've caught up with the good times, come on. "

"Hey, I got it, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely study hard and make progress." Sheng Xiping was also very happy.

But what he was happy about was not what Wang Jiachuan said just now. What he was happy about was that he finally had the opportunity to go to the provincial capital.

There was still something important to do in the provincial capital. These days, he had been thinking about how to find a way to go to the provincial capital.

It is not easy to go out these days. Without a letter of introduction from your employer, it can be said that it is really difficult to move forward.

I can still find a way to get the bus ticket, but I can't find the accommodation here.

Unexpectedly, I came to my pillow just when I was dozing off. The province was going to hold an intellectual youth conference.

Unexpectedly, the bureau actually selected him as an outstanding educated youth to attend the conference.

In this way, he could take the opportunity to go to the provincial capital to do some errands, and it would be a worthwhile rebirth.

"Uncle, I'm going home first. I'm going to Songjianghe tomorrow. I have to go home to pack and prepare things."

These days, going to a provincial capital is a big deal. It's like going on a long journey. You definitely need to pack well and bring a few changes of clothes.

Sheng Xiping went home happily. As soon as he entered the house, Erlang Shen's dogs started to chirp.

They were borrowed by the Liu brothers a few days ago and went hunting in the mountains. They were just returned today.

The dogs hadn't seen Sheng Xiping for a long time, and they couldn't kiss her anymore, so they had to let Sheng Xiping play with them for a while.

Although Sheng Xiping was anxious, the dogs needed to be comforted, so he stretched out his hands to rub the dogs' heads one by one, then patted them and scratched their bellies.

Finally, the four dogs were coaxed and they all went back to their dens to stay.

After coaxing the dogs, Sheng Xiping stepped into the house.

"Dad, Mom, just now Uncle Wang told me that there is a meeting of educated youth representatives who go to the mountains and countryside in the province. The bureau selected me as an outstanding representative and asked me to go to the provincial capital to attend the meeting."

As soon as he entered the door, Sheng Xiping told his family the news.

"What? Let you go to the provincial capital for a meeting? Oh my God, this is a great thing.

When are you leaving? I'll pack your things quickly. "When Zhang Shuzhen heard the news, she happily clapped her thighs.

"My father, did you hear that our Xiping family is also going to the provincial capital for a meeting?

Oops, our family went to the provincial capital several years ago, and you were there to hold a model worker conference. "Zhang Shuzhen was excited and patted her husband hard.

Sheng Liancheng was startled by the slap from his wife, and then he started laughing.

"Yes, I have been working in the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau for all these years, and I have only been to the provincial capital once for a meeting. I didn't expect that Xiping, who is only 21, can go to the province.

If I recruit workers in a few years, will I be able to participate in the model worker meeting? Ouch, if that were the case, Xiping would be in great trouble. "

In these days, even the bureau cadres rarely have the opportunity to go to the provincial capital for meetings, let alone ordinary employees, which is a big deal.

Even a steady person like Sheng Liancheng was a little unable to sit still at this time and was happy.

"I was told to go to the bureau tomorrow, and then the bureau leader would accompany me to the provincial capital for a meeting.

Dad, Mom, it’s just an educated youth congress, it’s not that important, so don’t be so excited. "

Sheng Xiping couldn't help laughing when he saw his parents' excited expressions.

"Who said that? How many people can go to the province for meetings?

Go out and ask, besides Secretary Wang, Director Zheng and your father in our forest farm, who else has gone to the provincial capital for a meeting? "

Zhang Shuzhen didn't think so. She felt that it would be a great honor for her son to go to the provincial capital for a meeting.

There are so many educated youths in the overall situation. If his son is not outstanding enough, why would such a good thing happen to her son?

"Girl, girl, what are you doing in that room? Come here quickly and tell you something good."

Zhang Shuzhen was so happy that she shouted to the west room at the top of her lungs.

The family cooked a little early today. After the meal was ready, Zhou Qinglan went back to the house to read a book without anything else to do.

But now that she is pregnant, she gets sleepy easily and falls asleep while reading.

So when Sheng Xiping came in and the dog made a fuss, Zhou Qinglan didn't hear it at all.

But at this moment, Zhang Shuzhen shouted at the top of her lungs, and Zhou Qinglan from the West Room vaguely heard it and got up quickly.

"Mom, what's wrong? I was sleepy while reading, so I didn't hear what you said." Zhou Qinglan asked, walking over from the west room.

"Your man is going to the provincial capital for a meeting. What kind of meeting are you holding?" Zhang Shuzhen waved to Zhou Qinglan and asked her to sit next to her, saying excitedly.

"It's the province's congress of educated youth who go to the mountains and countryside. Just now, Uncle Wang said that the bureau selected me as a representative and sent me to the provincial capital for the meeting."

Sheng Xiping looked at his wife with a smile and said warmly. "Leave tomorrow."

"Tomorrow? Oh, then I have to pack your clothes quickly.

You're going to the provincial capital now, and you won't be able to go back and forth for more than six or seven days? "When Zhou Qinglan heard this, he also became happy.

"Mom, I remember there is a piece of white fine cloth at home, right? You quickly find it for me and I will cut a shirt for Xiping.

He was going out for a meeting, so he couldn't be too poorly dressed. There were no new clothes suitable for summer at home. "

These days, traveling away from home is a big deal, especially for people like Sheng Xiping who go out for meetings, and they have to deal with it neatly and not embarrass the bureau.

Zhou Qinglan thought about it carefully. It seems that Sheng Xiping doesn't have new clothes for summer. How can this be done? I have to do something quickly.

"Ah, yes, yes, there is a white piece of Liang at home.

Girl, is it too late to do it now? Tailor Zhang doesn’t take on such an urgent job, right? "

Zhang Shuzhen thought about it and realized that there was indeed such a piece of fabric, but Sheng Xiping was leaving tomorrow and there was no time to make clothes with the fabric.

“It’s okay, just a shirt, I can make it.

Mom, please give me the fabric first. I will cut it out later and make the chain straps tonight. It should be almost the same.

Our sewing machine has a hemming machine head. We don’t need to find a tailor, we can just make it ourselves. "

The sewing machine that the Sheng family bought before was the latest model. It could not only sew clothes, but also came with parts with hemming and embroidery functions.

Zhou Qinglan can operate these. A sewing machine is enough for making clothes at home.

Zhou Qinglan said this, which meant that she was confident.

So Zhang Shuzhen hurriedly asked her daughter-in-law to put the table and put away the food, while she rummaged through the boxes and cabinets on the kang to find the piece of fabric.

Sure enough, a brand new white piece of solid fabric was dug out from the bottom of the box. Zhang Shuzhen handed the fabric to Zhou Qinglan.

Zhou Qinglan took the fabric and returned to the west room. He took out a tape measure and measured Sheng Xiping's size first. Then he found colored chalk and drew a cutting diagram on the fabric.

In this day and age, most women can actually make clothes, good or bad.

Zhou Qinglan had learned a bit when she was at home. After the Sheng family bought a sewing machine, she asked someone to get a cutting book and figured it out on her own.

It was a men's white shirt with no complicated style. Without saying anything, Zhou Qinglan just wrote down the cutting diagram.

Then take the scissors and cut out the fabric with a click.

Just in time, after finishing cutting here, it was time to eat at the other end.

Zhou Qinglan put down the scissors in her hand, rolled up the cut fabric, and then went to the east room for dinner.

After dinner, Zhou Qinglan came back and continued working.

The sewing machine removes the presser foot used for sewing clothes, replaces it with the built-in overlocking machine head, threads the needle and thread again, and then overlocks all the cut fabrics.

Replace this set and replace it with the presser foot for sewing clothes, and sew the front, front and back panels, sleeves, collar, bottom, cuffs, etc. in order.

Then, Zhou Qinglan asked Zhang Shuzhen for the old-fashioned iron at home, picked out some remaining charcoal from the stove pit, put it in, dusted the clothes with water, and ironed them flat with the iron.

Finally, all that's left is to open buttonholes, lock buttonholes, and tack buttons.

Zhou Qinglan originally wanted to finish it all at once, but she had just locked two buttonholes and the forest farm stopped supplying power at nine o'clock.

This last bit of needlework requires hand sewing, and the stitches need to be fine. There is no electric light at night, so all the light from candles is not enough.

There is no other way, Zhou Qinglan can only put away the clothes and get up early tomorrow to finish the final work.

When she got up early in the morning on August 1st, Zhou Qinglan quickly locked the buttonholes and nailed the buttons.

He also packed some necessary things for Sheng Xiping such as a change of clothes, towels, toothpaste and toothbrush, tea jar, lunch box, etc., and also took 200 yuan and some food stamps for Sheng Xiping.

After breakfast, Zhang Shuzhen took out some money and tickets and gave them to Sheng Xiping.

"Mom, you don't need to give me money, Qinglan gave me a lot just now.

When I go out to eat and live, it's all under the control of the bureau, so I don't have to spend any money on myself. Sheng Xiping took a look and said hurriedly.

"No, you are poor and you are rich. If you go out, who knows what you might encounter?

Bring more money, even if you don't have much to spend, it's good to buy something you like when you go to the provincial capital and buy some back.

That year your dad went to a meeting and bought a watch. "Zhang Shuzhen didn't care about that and just gave the money to her son.

Even though her mother said so, it was hard for Sheng Xiping to be stubborn with her.

He really had a lot of things to do on this trip, and he didn't have enough money in hand. Take it first, and then take it back when you have some left over.

While Sheng Xiping was talking to Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Liancheng, Zhou Qinglan folded another pile of pancakes, brought several eggs boiled in the morning to Sheng Xiping, and cut some pickles to put in cans.

Then I went to the vegetable garden, picked some cucumbers, tomatoes, and a handful of green onions, washed them all with water, and wrapped them in a clean white cloth.

"You can save these for the journey. Even if there is food on the train, it will be very expensive. It is better to bring some pancakes and pickles, just enough for one bite to save you from hunger."

Zhou Qinglan thought carefully and comprehensively and brought everything he could to Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping didn't say much else. He took whatever his wife prepared.

Just like that, Sheng Xiping walked out of the house with a heavy bag on his back and went straight to the field.

At the field department, the motorcycle truck was already waiting. As soon as Sheng Xiping arrived, Wang Jiachuan immediately asked the driver to drive and take Sheng Xiping to the bureau.

The driver of the motorcycle drove quickly and steadily. An hour later, the car arrived at the small railway station of the Sentinel Railway.

When Sheng Xiping got out of the car, he saw the bureau's 212 jeep, and Zhao Guangning was waiting with the driver.

"Brother, this time I will take you to the provincial capital. Come on, let's go to the bureau first. My dad and Bureau Yang have some things to tell you.

We will take the local train to Hunjiang at around 10 o'clock, and then change trains to go to the provincial capital. "

There is only one 212 Jeep in the bureau, which is allocated to Yang Chunming from above and is usually used by the leaders of the bureau.

Being able to pick up Sheng Xiping this time shows that he attaches great importance to Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping didn't say anything, just got into the jeep and went to the bureau building with Zhao Guangning, where he met Zhao Yongsheng, Yang Chunming and others.

Zhao Yongsheng and Yang Chunming both had good attitudes and asked Sheng Xiping some things with a smile. Then Zhao Yongsheng waved his hand and asked Zhao Guangning to accompany Sheng Xiping to the train station.

"You all should be careful on the road. On the road from Hunjiang to the provincial capital, if you can buy a sleeper, buy a sleeper. Don't be reluctant to spend money.

Don’t be too frugal when you go out. As long as you don’t eat too much or drink too much, you can repay it when you come back within a reasonable range. "Zhao Yongsheng told his eldest son.

"I understand, Dad, it's not the first time I've gone out, so I understand all this."

In this way, Zhao Guangning and Sheng Xiping left the bureau building, and the jeep took them to Songjianghe Railway Station.

Songjianghe Railway Station is a large station on the Hunbai Railway. In 1957, the Forestry Bureau prepared for construction, and the railway was also planned and built accordingly.

At that time, the situation in Northeast China was that production and construction were at the same time.

In the first few years, the railway was not repaired and the harvested wood could not be transported, which wasted a lot of money.

Later, the army was invited to help repair the railway and it was opened to traffic in 1960.

A large amount of timber from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is continuously transported to the land of China along the railway lines to support construction in various places.

The express train left around 8:30 in the morning, and Sheng Xiping came from the forest farm and couldn't catch up.

So they took the slow train around ten o'clock, which happened to arrive at Hunjiang at five or six o'clock in the afternoon. They took the bus from Hunjiang to the provincial capital at eight o'clock in the evening and arrived at the place tomorrow morning.

Zhao Guangning went to buy a ticket, and the two of them checked in and got on the train. There were not that many people going out at this time, and there were still seats on the slow train.

The two of them found a seat and sat down, put their backpacks on the luggage rack, breathed a sigh of relief, and started chatting casually.

"By the way, the teacher who trained you is Zhang Wanqing, the dispatcher of Kaifeng Forestry Farm. Do you know about his wife and the director of our bureau?"

Chinese people all have a gossipy heart, and Zhao Guangning is no exception.

This matter about the Zhang family can be regarded as a shocking event in the bureau recently. Why doesn't Zhao Guangning talk about it?

Sheng Xiping was thinking about how to ask Zhao Guangning about Zhang Wanqing along the way. Unexpectedly, before he could speak, Zhao Guangning mentioned it first.

"Ah? What's going on?" Sheng Xiping knew it well, but deliberately pretended to be stupid and asked.

"What else can happen? We don't know about Deputy Director Sun of our bureau and Zhang Wanqing's wife.

One day, Zhang Wanqing happened to come to the house and broke Sun Zhengyang's right leg. He was sent to the hospital by his neighbors.

This matter has been spread all over Songjiang River. I think even Donggang Commune has heard about it. "
