Chapter 569 The Growing Tiger Family

The Sheng family is definitely the focus of everyone's attention in Qianchuan Forest Farm, and countless people are watching their every move.

Sheng Xiping has been away for such a long time, and Qianchuan Forest Farm is full of rumors, saying all kinds of things.

Some people say that these days, there are chaos outside, murders and arson, and Sheng Xiping has not come back for so long, and it is possible that he was killed somewhere.

Some people also say that Sheng Xiping probably committed a crime and ran away to hide and dared not come back.

Most of those who can make a lot of money these days are not from a good background. Now that the incident has happened, if Sheng Xiping does not go out and hide, he will be arrested and eaten peanuts.

Sheng Xiping has become rich, and he has also led many families in the forest farm to become rich. In theory, everyone should respect him.

But most of the things in this world are not about scarcity but inequality.

Sheng Xiping is not a saint, and it is impossible for him to make everyone rich.

Those who have become rich with him must be grateful to him and say good things about him everywhere.

Those who didn't take advantage certainly didn't dare to say anything in public, but they cursed him behind his back.

This person, all have a hatred of the rich. Seeing others become rich and wealthy is more painful than killing them.

Therefore, in the two years when Sheng Xiping disappeared, many people comforted Sheng Liancheng and his wife with a look of concern on the surface, but I don't know how they gloated over their misfortune behind the scenes.

Now that they heard that Sheng Xiping was back, and drove back in a high-profile manner, these people couldn't sit still.

Those who gathered together to chat got up and went to Sheng's house to watch the fun.

When they arrived at the door of Sheng's house, they saw that it was Sheng Xiping who was back and was carrying things down from the car.

"Oh, Xiping, you're back? What have you been doing in the past two years? Why haven't you heard from me? Your father and mother are at home, thinking about you all day long."

Someone stepped forward quickly, pretending to stretch out his hand, wanting to help Sheng Xiping carry things, but in fact he was deliberately testing and asking for information.

"Oh, I went abroad and stayed in Russia for more than a year. I just came back. I'm afraid everyone is worried about me."

Sheng Xiping could see that these people were trustworthy and came here to inquire about things.

However, the Sheng family was not afraid of others asking about things, and Sheng Xiping was also open and honest, so Sheng Xiping chatted with those people with a smile and invited them to sit in the house.

"No, no, you should be busy. We will come back when we have time."

These people were just curious and came here to inquire about the news. They wanted to know whether it was Sheng Xiping who came back.

Now seeing Sheng Xiping standing in front of them in a good manner, not as weird as others had said before, everyone was discouraged. How could they still have the heart to chat with Sheng Xiping?

Seeing everyone leave, Sheng Xiping shook his head and carried the things in the car into the house with his son.

"Dad, Mom, let's take the kids to visit my master."

Liu Changde and his wife treated Sheng Xiping like their own son. They missed him a lot in the two years when Sheng Xiping was away from home.

Now that he is back, they must go to visit him.

"Okay, go and see. Bring some things, don't go empty-handed.

Your master, his wife, and your elder brother have helped us a lot in the two years you were away from home."

Zhang Shuzhen picked a few things from the things her son brought back, and took out two packs of cigarettes from the cabinet, one Shilin and one Hongmei, both good cigarettes.

Sheng Xiping and his wife carried the things and led the four children to walk to the big alkali field in the west.

This season is the busiest time in the ginseng field, removing the cold-proof soil, plowing the pond surface, and covering the plastic sheet.

Every household in the big alkali field is very busy. Except for the elderly and children, everyone else has gone to the mountains to work.

"Master, Master's Wife, are you home?" The door of the Liu family was open, and Sheng Xiping led his wife and children inside, shouting loudly as they walked.

The Liu family had dogs, and when the dogs heard the noise of outsiders, they jumped out of their dens and barked at Sheng Xiping's family.

In recent years, Liu Yujiang rarely went into the mountains to hunt, and the dogs in the family were replaced one after another. There were not many dogs that could go up the mountain, and they were just guarding the house.

"Uncle San? When did you come back? Grandpa and grandma, come out quickly, it's my uncle San who is back, and Aunt San and Brother Xinhua are also here."

The dog's call startled Liu Xiang and Liu Xin, who were turning the soil in the vegetable garden.

When the two looked up, they saw Sheng Xiping's family. The two happy children threw down the shovels in their hands, jumped over the garden sticks, and jumped to Sheng Xiping in two steps.

"Uncle San, you are finally back. Come on, come in, my grandpa and grandma are at home."

Inside the house, Liu Changde and Qin Qiuyan were sitting on the kang, using a curtain and a dustpan to roll bean seeds.

Liu Changde was old, and his hearing was not very good. He didn't hear much of the noise outside, but Qin Qiuyan heard it.

"Old man, hurry up, Xiping is back."

Qin Qiuyan said, and quickly put away the beans, curtains, dustpans, etc.

"What? Xiping is back?" The wife spoke loudly, and Liu Changde could hear it.

The old man was sitting by the window sill, and he opened the window and looked out.

"Oh, it's true, Xiping is back. You bastard, what did you do outside? Why did you take so long to come back?"

People with poor hearing are afraid that others can't hear what they say, so they speak loudly.

Liu Changde is in good health, and his voice is like a bell.

Sheng Xiping came to the window with something in his hand and greeted Liu Changde, "Master, how have you been these past two years?"

"Very good, very good, your master is fine, except for a little hearing loss, there is no other problem."

Sheng Xiping spoke loudly, Liu Changde heard it clearly, so he replied loudly.

"Come in, Qinglan, bring the children in, come in and sit down."

Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan led the four children into the east room of the Liu family. Qin Qiuyan had just packed up her things and was sweeping the kang with a broom.

"Oh my God, when did Xiping come back? Look at you, you have been away for two years, and your master misses you all the time."

Qin Qiuyan asked while looking Sheng Xiping up and down.

"You are darker and thinner. You can't catch up with home when you are away. Come on, sit down, everyone.

Look at you, what are you bringing here? You can only make a scene every day."

Qin Qiuyan happily asked everyone to sit down, and then she turned around and made tea.

Sheng Xiping casually put the things he brought on the kang and sat next to Liu Changde.

"Master, are you the only ones at home? What are my elder brother and sister-in-law doing?"

"Oh, they all went up the mountain to pick up the taro.

Our family planted 500 feet of taro last fall, but we were too busy this spring and couldn't handle it.

Isn't it the May Day holiday? The children are all back, and your elder brother, sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law took the children to work in the mountains." Liu Changde explained loudly.

"Oh, my elder brother is very capable, planting 500 feet of taro. That requires hiring a lot of people. It can't be done with less people."

Sheng Xiping took out a cigarette, lit it for Liu Changde, and chatted with Liu Changde.

"Is the market for ginseng good these past two years? How's the income?"

"The market is just so-so, far worse than in 1987 and 1988.

There's no other way. We've been growing ginseng for decades. What else can we do? We can't all go out to do business. Don't want to live anymore?" Liu Changde sighed and said.

"If you ask me, the market can't be so bad all the time. There will always be a good time.

Besides, ginseng is not valuable now, and the price of ginseng seeds and seeds is also low.

Grow it. I have to work for a few more years, waiting for the children to finish school and start a family.

If they all pass the exam and settle down in a big city in the future, there will be many places to spend money."

Speaking of which, the Liu family doesn't have to grow ginseng. After all, Liu Yuhe makes a lot of money outside, and Liu Yujiang's shares are in this money.

If Liu Yujiang hadn't stayed to take care of his parents, he could have gone out to make money with Sheng Xiping and others.

Besides, the breeding farm is now very profitable, and its scale has expanded several times compared to before.

Apart from other things, the farm alone can earn at least 100,000 or 200,000 yuan a year.

Liu Yujiang and his wife are both people who can't sit still, and they have four sons.

The eldest, Liu Qiang, was admitted to Shenyang Aviation University of Technology two years ago. The second, Liu Gang, is in the second year of high school. The third, Liu Meng, is in the third year of junior high school and will soon take the high school entrance examination. The fourth, Liu Xin, is in the third year of junior high school this year.

Four sons are extraordinary in the eyes of outsiders, and they are very envious, but the burden is also heavy.

In the future, the children will settle down, marry and have children. Which one does not cost money? Can we still rely on the children to earn it all?

If we don't save more while we are young, where can we find money in the future?

"Well, what my master said makes sense. The price of ginseng cannot be low all the time. Maybe it will be better in two years.

By then, my eldest brother and his family may make a fortune." Sheng Xiping nodded.

It seems that in 1995 in the previous life, the price of ginseng rose. Although it is not as good as the price in 1987 and 1988, it is not bad.

Sheng Xiping hadn't been home for several years, and today he brought his wife and children back, so the Liu family had to arrange a meal for them.

At this time, there were no vegetables in the vegetable garden, but fortunately there were a lot of fish and meat frozen in the refrigerator, so Qin Qiuyan went to look through the refrigerator and was busy cooking.

Sheng Xiping saw it and hurriedly stopped him, saying that he was just here to see his master and mistress, and he would not eat here at noon.

When Liu Yujiang and the others came back in the evening, they would go to the Sheng family for dinner together. We haven't seen each other for a long time, so the two families will get together then.

Qin Qiuyan and Liu Changde tried to persuade him, but Sheng Xiping refused to stay, and besides, the meat and other things would not be released for a while.

Qin Qiuyan had no choice but to put the things back, and said that she would make delicious food at home next time and let the Sheng family come over for dinner.

Sheng Xiping's family played here for a while, and seeing that it was getting late, they said goodbye and left.

After lunch, Sheng Xiping led the children to change into waders and boots, and went to the river to cast a net to catch fish. They caught half a bucket of miscellaneous fish and also turned over stones to catch some crickets.

Zhou Qinglan and Zhang Shuzhen were at home, weighing a few dishes.

When it was evening, when the Liu family was about to return, they sent Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu to invite Liu Changde's family to come for dinner.

Liu Yujiang led his wife and children to the mountains to work for a day, and they were all covered in dust and exhausted.

As soon as they entered the house, Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu arrived.

When Liu Yujiang heard that Sheng Xiping was back and wanted to invite them to dinner, he was very happy.

He quickly greeted the children, took the time to pack up and change into clean clothes.

After everyone was ready, Liu Changde and his wife led their children and grandchildren to the Sheng family together.

At the Sheng family, Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, finally came up with eight dishes and one soup.

Chicken stewed with mushrooms, spare ribs stewed with dried beans, small fish in sauce, braised pork, pork head, fried peanuts, fried black fungus with onions, fried eggs with leeks, and crayfish tofu soup.

At this time, there is nothing else in the vegetable garden except sprouting onions and leeks.

Sheng Liancheng had put the leeks under a plastic shed a long time ago, so they grew taller after being squeezed. In other people's vegetable gardens, the leeks have just sprouted and are not edible at all.

"Brother Liu, sister-in-law, this dish is a bit simple today, so just make do with it."

Zhang Shuzhen is very embarrassed. She just invites people to come for dinner and just cooks these dishes, but she always feels that she can't do it.

"Oh, brother and sister, what are you talking about? Who has food to eat at the beginning of spring?

The eight dishes and one soup you have are pretty good, which is enough, so what does it mean for us to eat at home? "Qin Qiuyan was happy when she heard it.

At this time, let alone the forestry farm, even in the Songjianghe market, there were no vegetables to buy. It was the same for every household.

When the dishes were ready, there was a table for adults and a table for children, so everyone sat down to eat.

Sheng Xiping also took out two bottles of wine and poured some for Liu Changde and others. The four of them drank and chatted.

The Liu family ate and drank at Sheng's house until almost nine o'clock before leaving.

The next morning, Sheng Xiping took the children to Hulin Garden to visit the tigers in Hulin Garden.

The staff were surprised to see Sheng Xiping and quickly led Sheng Xiping and the others to the enclosure in the Tiger Park to visit Huahua and other tigers.

"Mr. Sheng, Huahua is probably pregnant again.

It is not young, and the pregnancy was very difficult. It does not go hunting much, and is basically fed artificially. "While walking, the staff introduced the situation.

The lifespan of a wild Siberian tiger is generally fifteen to seventeen years, and that of a captive-bred tiger is about twenty to twenty-five years.

Huahua is half a year older than Sheng Xinhua. According to Tiger's age, isn't he already in old age?

Thanks to Sheng Xiping's establishment of the Hulin Garden, Huahua has a place to retire. With the staff taking care of her, Huahua is in pretty good shape.

As soon as everyone entered the gate outside the pen, they heard a medium-sized tiger roar, and then saw a big guy rushing towards Sheng Xiping.

Sheng Xiping hugged Huahua and rubbed its big head.

"Hey, you heard my footsteps, right? Huahua, have you missed me?"

Huahua rubbed her head against Sheng Xiping and made a purring sound.

It just can't talk, otherwise I would definitely ask Sheng Xiping why he hasn't seen it for so long.

"I heard that you are pregnant again. It's amazing. It's amazing."

A tigress can only give birth to three or four babies at most. This must be Huahua’s fifth baby, right?

In the previous four births, Huahua gave birth to a total of ten tiger cubs, exactly five male tigers and five female tigers. I wonder how many Huahua will have this time.

"Mr. Sheng, Huanhuan and Lele were both pregnant last year and gave birth to cubs in our Hulin Garden.

Huanhuan gave birth to two and Lele gave birth to three. The tiger cubs are currently in the park. Huanhuan and Lele often come back to visit the tiger cubs.

Also, the tigress Niuniu that Huahua gave birth to was also nearby, and would come back to stay for two days from time to time.

They may all regard Hulin Garden as their natal home. "The staff was standing by and introduced to Sheng Xiping.
