Sheng Xiping and others arranged their sewing machines and other things and followed Zhao Yongsheng and his son to Zhao's house.
As soon as he entered the gate of Zhao's house, Zhao Yongsheng called out, "My dear, come on, hurry up and pack some good dishes, we have guests at home."
Zhao Yongsheng's daughter-in-law, Cao Shuzhi, had already prepared the meal and was waiting for her husband and son to come back for dinner.
As soon as I heard my man shouting outside, I quickly came out to take a look. "Hey, who are these young men?"
Cao Shuzhi took a look and saw six or seven young men coming in from outside. She was stunned at that time.
"Look at your memory. Isn't this Xiao Sheng who gave us the black blind Boleng Gail years ago?
A few of their brothers came down to do some errands, and I happened to meet them, calling the children to come home and have some food.
Hurry up, hurry up and get some dishes together, and let us have some drinks at noon." Zhao Yongsheng said while winking at his wife.
After saying this, Cao Shuzhi also remembered, "Oh, it's Xiao Sheng from Qianchuan Forestry Farm. Come on, come in and talk."
As soon as you walk in the door, you are a guest. Regardless of whether you are familiar with the guest or not, you must be treated well.
Not to mention that Sheng Xiping had given the black blind man Boleng Gaier before. Zhao Yongsheng had suffered less this winter. How could Cao Shuzhi not be grateful? So she greeted Sheng Xiping and the others very warmly.
Sheng Xiping and others greeted Cao Shuzhi, and then followed the Zhao family and his son into the house.
In the east room, several children of the Zhao family were there, and they all greeted people openly when they saw them.
Wang Jianshe and Chen Weiguo took out things from their pockets and put them on the table.
Wang Jianshe bought this just now while Zhao Guangning was chatting with the store director, and secretly gave it to Chen Weiguo and others to put in their pockets.
"Oh, look at you kids, when did you buy these things?
When you come here, you're just like your own family, why should you be so arrogant?" When Zhao Yongsheng and his wife looked at him, they had to say a few words.
"Secretary Zhao, this is a little bit of our thoughts.
When I came home for the first time, I didn't know what to bring, so I just bought some things from the store." Wang Jianshe explained with a smile.
Don't look at Sheng Xiping calling Zhao Yongsheng uncle, they can't just climb up the pole and call him that way.
After buying everything, what else can Zhao Yongsheng say?
"You guys, you won't want to be like this next time. From now on, follow Xiping and call me uncle and auntie, don't call me secretary, just listen."
Northeastern people are inherently hospitable, and since they are both Sheng Xiping's brothers, it's hard to treat them differently.
Wang Jianshe and others happily agreed, and then everyone sat down and chatted.
Cao Shuzhi quickly sent her children to buy some canned food, cooked food, etc. She quickly went to the kitchen and scrambled eggs, peanuts and the like.
With so many people at home, we still have to deal with six dishes.
There are four children in Zhao Yongsheng's family. The eldest, Zhao Guangning, works in the forestry bureau. The second, Zhao Yuting, works as a nurse in the Forestry Bureau Hospital. The third, Zhao Guangping and the fourth, Zhao Yujuan, are both studying in high school.
There were guests at home, and the children knew the rules. The third child went out to run errands to buy groceries, and the fourth child quickly boiled water and made tea. The second child, Zhao Yuting, went out to help her mother cook.
Zhao Guangning didn't know what happened, so he went out, leaving Zhao Yongsheng behind to chat with Sheng Xiping and the others.
I wasn't very familiar with them before, but now Zhao Yongsheng had to ask about what Wang Jianshe and others did.
Knowing that these were all educated youths from Qianchuan Forestry Farm, Zhao Yongsheng nodded.
"Oh, I see, you are the educated youths from the outstanding youth commando team reported by Maekawa Forestry Farm this time.
This year, your forest farm has completed the mining and transportation tasks well and exceeded the production quota.
Especially the educated youth team, despite the shortage of all kinds of machinery, relied on manual gathering and stacking to create higher output, which is not bad."
At this time of year, the production tasks of each forest farm are basically over, and all production reports are reported to the bureau.
After passing the inspection and acceptance by the bureau, honorary titles such as advanced forest farm, advanced work team, advanced worker, and model worker will be selected.
Qianchuan Forestry Farm completed its task very early this year, and Wang Jiachuan has already asked people to submit all relevant materials.
The Educated Youth Team performed really well this year. After discussion with other forest farm officials, Wang Jiachuan submitted the Educated Youth Team to participate in this year's selection of outstanding youth commando teams.
Every forest farm has to report on the status of its work teams and workers, and Zhao Yongsheng also has to be familiar with these.
"Okay, it's great that young people are motivated and energetic. It's a valuable experience to work hard in the forest farm."
Zhao Yongsheng looked at the young men in front of him and nodded in approval.
Sheng Xiping and the others have been here for several days, and it is impossible for the forest farm to discuss these matters with them, so they really don't know this.
When I heard this, the brothers were very happy. No matter how you say it, this is also an honor.
So the younger brothers were very happy and had a lively chat with Zhao Yongsheng.
After a while, Zhao Guangping bought back a roast chicken, a piece of pork head, and two cans of luncheon meat.
Cao Shuzhi quickly cut it and put it on a plate, then paired it with scrambled eggs, peanuts, and the pickled cabbage vermicelli stewed at home for lunch.
The six dishes were already pretty good, but Cao Shuzhi felt that it was still a bit lacking, so she cut another cabbage heart and mixed it with sweet and sour.
Then put the canned peaches and hawthorns that Wang Jianshe and the others brought and poured them into a large bowl, thus making eight dishes.
"It was a temporary preparation. I gathered together eight dishes and took a bite. Next time you come to Songjianghe, aunt will prepare more delicious food."
Cao Shuzhi and her daughter brought the food into the house and greeted everyone to eat with a smile.
"Oh, aunt, your meal is too rich. There are only eight dishes. There are not so many when cadres go to the countryside. Auntie is tired, please sit down and eat."
Sheng Xiping took a look and saw that except for the sauerkraut, which was originally prepared, the rest of the dishes on the table were freshly made.
This is the Zhao family, with several working people and good conditions. If it were an ordinary family, where would they get these meals?
"It's okay, you guys eat first. Lao Zhao, you and Guang Ning accompany Xiao Sheng and the others to have a drink. It's rare for the children to come down here, so they must eat and drink well."
After Cao Shuzhi finished speaking, she left the east room and took her three children to the west room for dinner.
Zhao Guangning, who came back from a trip, boiled a pot of wine and poured it for Sheng Xiping and others.
"Last time you came here, I wanted to keep you at home for dinner, but you said you had eaten. This time, our brothers must drink.
Don't worry in the afternoon, the bureau's acceptance inspectors are going to various forest farms to inspect.
After dinner later, I will arrange a car to take you to the Sentai Railway, and then go to the forest farm with the inspectors."
Needless to say, Zhao Guangning went out just now to arrange the afternoon bus.
He currently works in the Transportation Department of the Forestry Bureau. Aren't these things too readily available?
Sheng Xiping immediately understood that this was specially arranged to send them back to the forest farm.
Otherwise, by such a coincidence, the inspector would have to go to various forest farms this afternoon? "Thank you, Brother Zhao, for causing you trouble."
