Sheng Xiping sent Zhou Qinglan back to the Tang family, watched Zhou Qinglan enter the courtyard, locked the door, and then turned back to his home.
The same goes when you get back to your home. Use wooden door bolts and plug the door in place.
In fact, the security of the forest farm is pretty good, and there is generally no petty theft.
Locking the door is mainly to prevent wild animals.
After all, it is next to a big forest and it is quiet at night. Who can say whether any wild animals have entered the village?
After closing the door, Sheng Xiping stepped into the house. As soon as he entered the outhouse, he turned towards the west room and shouted.
"Sheng Xian, Sheng Xikang, you two, get here."
"What's going on? Weren't you fine just now? How come you're calling me in the blink of an eye?"
Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen are both in the east room. Zhang Shuzhen is making the quilt and plans to go to bed later.
When Sheng Xiping shouted this, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were confused.
"Dad, Mom, I told them to review their homework at home during the holidays.
Or you can help the family with some work and prevent them from running into the woods.
It would be nice for them to lead Fang'er and the others to the other end of the second branch line. It's so far away, what if something unexpected happens?"
Sheng Xiping remembered what Mrs. Li's mother-in-law said before.
What if the daughter-in-law of the Li family heard it right, is there really a black blind man over there? How many children will meet a black blind man and have a good son?
"Ah? You can't, right?
It’s not too far from our forest farm there, and people often go there. There aren’t any big wild animals, so what could happen?”
Sheng Liancheng has a big heart, and not only does he have a big heart, most of the parents these days also have a big heart.
When children are on vacation, they are like herding sheep. They go out in the morning and come back in the evening, and the family never cares about them.
"Dad, Aunt Li told me when I went home in the afternoon.
Her daughter-in-law was gathering vegetables in the cutting area on the way to the second branch line when she heard the roar of a wild beast. She said it was a black blind man."
Sheng Xiping snorted, although he didn't really believe it, but these people in the family must be taken care of, just to scare them.
As soon as these words came out, Sheng Liancheng and his wife, who were sitting on the kang, both let out a groan.
Just at this time, Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang came over from the West Room.
"Brother, what's going on? You called us two?"
The two of them were stunned when they saw the eldest brother's face was not good-looking. What happened? Who provoked him?
"Let me ask you two, what did I tell you after we dug the gastrodia elata?
Did I say that you two should read more books and review your homework at home, and don't lead your younger brothers and sisters to play? "
Sheng Xiping asked his two brothers with a cold face.
"Tell me, what did you two do at home? Where did you take them to do it?"
When brothers Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang heard this, their expressions changed.
What did they do? Haha, they did everything.
Few children of this age can stay at home during the holidays.
Even Sheng Xi'an, who loves to learn, couldn't stand the instigation of others and followed him everywhere to make noises.
"Don't talk, you two, I'll ask."
Sheng Xiping glared at the two elders and raised his hand to interrupt the third child, preventing him from speaking.
"Lao Liu, come here and tell me where have you been playing recently?"
These guys in the family are all grown up and know how to play tricks.
Lao Liu Sheng and Xitai are young, and all their thoughts are on eating. If you ask others, you can't tell, but you can definitely ask Lao Liu.
Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei were outside the room, while Sheng Xitai was lying at the door of the west room with his head stretched out to look into the east room. Unexpectedly, his name was called.
In this family, Sheng Xitai is afraid of nothing but his eldest brother.
When he saw his brother calling him, the little guy quickly came over and said, "Brother, what's wrong?"
"Tell me carefully, where have you been recently?
If you make it clear, I will make you something delicious later. If you make it clear, I will slap you with a big slap."
Sheng Xi had a straight face and tried to scare Lao Liu.
"We have gone to a lot of places." When Sheng Xitai heard this, why didn't he say it honestly?
So, the little guy ignored the winks given to him by his second brother and his third brother, and just said everything.
"We went to the air-raid shelter in Nanshan. It was not fun at all. There were sheep dung on the ground, and there were swallows in the cave."
The air-raid shelter Sheng Xitai was talking about was a stone cave dug out a few years ago on the front mountain.
The hole is of no use. There are sheep grazing at the other end of the large alkali field. If it rains, the sheep will automatically find a place to take shelter from the rain, so there will be sheep dung and eggs on the ground.
As for Yan Lagu, it is also a local dialect and refers to bats.
When talking about the air-raid shelter, Sheng Liancheng and his wife on the kang in the east room, and Sheng Xiping standing in front of the kang, both looked ugly.
About four years ago, an old man named Zhou from the forest farm went to cut motherwort near the air raid shelter, but did not come back that day.
The next day, relatives and friends went to look for him and found that he was dead. He had been bitten to death by a black blind man. His face and body were all bloody, which was quite scary.
A long time later, someone killed a black blind man in the mountains. No one knew whether it bit Old Zhou to death.
From there, everyone told the children not to run toward the air-raid shelter.
The terrain there is high and surrounded by steep slopes.
Standing on it, you can have a panoramic view of the entire Qianchuan Forest Farm. If you accidentally slip your foot and slip down, there is a big river underneath.
"Where else have you gone? Tell me." Sheng Xiping took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and continued to ask.
"We went to the Diaoyutai. The second brother and the third brother even took a bath in the water. I didn't. I didn't dare."
Sheng Xitai completely rebelled and directly betrayed his two brothers.
There is a large bay in the upper reaches of the Maekawa river, with cliffs on one side and a beach on the other.
The water there can be twenty meters wide and more than one meter deep.
On the right bank are two large lying cow rocks standing abruptly on the water, which look more like diving platforms.
Many children like to stand on rocks and plunge into the water.
Since Sheng Xiping's accident while playing in the water, Sheng Liancheng and his wife have told their children not to play in the river.
Especially the water at Diaoyutai is too deep to play.
As a result, several children in the family carried their parents on their backs and ran there secretly.
"Okay, second and third, you two are becoming more and more capable now, right?
Your mother and I have repeatedly told you not to go to the air raid shelter or the Diaoyutai, but you just don't listen.
It doesn’t matter if you go, you’re still taking your younger brothers and sisters with you. Okay, you see how I beat you two.”
Sheng Liancheng got angry and hurriedly got off the bed to call out the two disobedient ones.
"Dad, please wait a moment." Sheng Xiping stopped his father.
"They are already so big that there is no point in beating them. Starting tomorrow, we will arrange work for them.
Get up in the morning, fetch water and chop firewood, and go to the family team to work during the day.
At the other end of the family team, the cabbage and radish seedlings may have sprouted, and the seedlings should be thinned out in the next few days.
Tomorrow I will tell old Uncle Hu and let them go to work, and they will do the same job as one."
After returning from rebirth, Sheng Xiping always thought about the things he had done to his brothers in his previous life.
Therefore, he took the initiative to take over all the work at home, just to free up the second and third children to read and study.
There are still three years until the college entrance examination is resumed. If they study hard in these three years, they might be able to get into a good university by then.
The college students of this generation are the real deal. After finishing their studies, they can be assigned to very good units and have a bright future.
