The train wandered for more than two hours and finally returned to Maekuan Forest Farm smoothly.
Everyone got out of the car, went to the forest farm to return the chain saw, and then went home.
Before Zhou Qinglan left, her family brought her a lot of things, including gifts from the Zhou family to the Sheng family.
So Zhou Qinglan did not go home with Tang Fengying, but went to Sheng's house first.
It was past nine o'clock, and no one working or studying at home was there. Zhang Shuzhen was the only one sewing cotton-padded clothes in the house.
Qianchuan Forest Farm is close to Changbai Mountain. Affected by the climate on the mountain, it gets cold earlier than other places.
The weather is getting colder and colder. Make your family's cotton-padded clothes as soon as possible so that they can be worn directly when it snows.
As soon as Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan entered the hospital, Erlang Shen and Hei Jiangjun started to choke.
Sheng Xiping had no choice but to put his bag on the ground and go pet the dog first.
Zhang Shuzhen was working in the house when she heard the barking of a dog outside. She looked out the window and saw that her son and Zhou Qinglan were back.
So I quickly put down the needle and thread in my hand and came out.
"I guess you two can come back by train today, how about it? Your parents are fine, right?"
Zhang Shuzhen walked to Zhou Qinglan with a smile, helped her take her things into the house, and asked her a question.
"Well, my father and mother are both very good.
This time I sent back a large cart of firewood, which was more than ten feet long. Both my parents said that I wouldn’t have to worry about firewood for several years.
My mother asked me to raise a good son for her aunt and uncle, and I would like to thank you both."
Zhou Qinglan put the backpack she brought back on the kang.
"Auntie, I brought some things from home. This is for you, this is for uncle, this is for Xi'an and Xikang..."
As Zhou Qinglan spoke, she took out a lot of things from her pocket.
There are scarves for Zhang Shuzhen, two bottles of wine for Sheng Liancheng, pens and notebooks for Sheng Xian and Sheng Xikang, fabrics for Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, and a new schoolbag for Sheng Xitai.
Sheng Xiping not only sent a cart of firewood to the Zhou family, but also bought a lot of things for Zhou Qinglan.
The Zhou family felt very sorry, so they asked Zhou Qinglan to bring something to the Sheng family.
This constant coming and going can show that the two families are getting closer and closer.
"Oh, my dear, why are you bringing so many things? This will cost a lot of money.
Although your parents' salary is not low, you still have your brother at home going to school, so how can you spend so much money?"
As soon as Zhang Shuzhen saw these things, she probably had an idea of how much they would cost, so she hurriedly said.
"Auntie, it doesn't matter, my family doesn't have much expenses.
My brother has a stipend in the army, and I am an educated youth here without spending any money from my family.
It doesn't cost much for my brother to study alone.
Besides, these don’t cost much, they are my parents’ wishes, and my aunt must accept them.”
Zhou Qinglan smiled and pushed the thing in front of Zhang Shuzhen.
"Okay then, thank your parents for me later. It's hard for them to think so thoughtfully.
These things are much better than those in our forestry store.”
The Zhou family and his wife expressed their sincerity, and it would be bad if Zhang Shuzhen refused again.
Anyway, we have a long time to come, so if I have the opportunity in the future, I will just give more gifts in return.
While the two were talking, Sheng Xiping finally coaxed the two dogs and came into the house.
"Mom, this is what I bought, look at it.
And all this money came from the copper sold by the second and third sons.
Don't tell them how much you sold it for later, I'm afraid they'll get into trouble again."
Sheng Xiping took out the contents of the basket on his back and handed a stack of money to Zhang Shuzhen.
Zhang Shuzhen took the money first, and when she counted it, she was also shocked. "How many kilograms of copper are they selling for so much?"
Sheng Xiping told his mother about the price of copper, "I didn't expect it to be so expensive. It shocked me at the time."
Zhang Shuzhen nodded, "Well, we can't let these bears know, otherwise who knows what trouble they can cause?"
"Oh, by the way, hurry up and go to the family team and ask for the team leader, Mr. Hu.
It seems that he wants to see you for something, so he sent his children over last night to ask if you had come back."
Zhang Shuzhen took the money and put it away. Suddenly she thought of this and hurriedly told her son.
"Uncle Hu is looking for me? What happened again?" Sheng Xiping was stunned for a moment.
Before he went to Songjianghe, he asked for leave from the captain.
Everyone knows that the little train is coming back today. Is there anything important that Lao Hu can send his children to look for?
"Qing Lan, you sit here, I'll go to the family team to have a look." Sheng Xiping quickly got up and walked out.
At the beginning of September, the cabbage in the field is just about to wrap up its core, and the radish has just grown and is not yet too crispy.
Not to mention corn and beans, they are still in the final stage of maturity and have not yet reached the harvest season.
So Sheng Xiping was quite puzzled, why was Lao Hu so anxious to find him?
Sheng Xiping went to Lao Hu's house first. His family said that he had gone to Hou Dadi, so he went all the way to Hou Dadi.
When we arrived at Hou Dadi, we searched for a long time before we found Lao Hu in a sweet potato field.
Lao Hu was standing in the sweet potato field, looking at the hole in the ground in front of him, feeling worried.
When Sheng Xiping saw the mess on the ground, he immediately understood what was going on. "Uncle, have badgers invaded our sweet potato field?"
There are about 300 households in the Qianchuan Forestry Farm, and the total land owned by the agricultural team is 700 to 800 acres. It is impossible for them all to grow winter vegetables.
On the back side of the land, some corn, soybeans and sweet potatoes were planted, also to enrich the lives of forest workers and their families.
The land is next to the forest, and every autumn, some animals will enter the land and harm the crops. For example, wild boars, black blinds, badgers, etc.
The black blind man likes to harm corn, while the wild boar harms corn, potatoes, and sweet potatoes. The same goes for badgers, who harm corn, sweet potatoes, and everything else.
This sweet potato field has obviously been harmed by badgers.
Because there are many holes in the ground, it looks like badgers have made holes and gnawed the sweet potatoes from the roots.
Most wild boars use their mouths to nudge and turn the entire field over.
"Isn't that right? I'm so sad. Look at how much damage has been done this night."
Lao Hu squatted in front of those soil holes and stretched out his hands to peel away the soil, revealing the chewed sweet potato pieces inside. He was heartbroken.
"Yesterday morning, someone told me that something seemed to have happened to the sweet potato field.
I came over and took a look, it was a badger. Didn't someone arrange to guard it last night?
But the few people guarding the ground are of no use. When I came up this morning, I saw another disaster."
"Xiping, when it comes to hunting, no one in our forest farm is better than you.
See if you can bring some people up to see the badgers and take care of them.
If the disaster continues like this, will there be any left in our team this year?" Lao Hu stood up and asked Sheng Xiping sincerely.
"Uncle, don't worry, I'll bring people over to watch over you tonight and try to find a way to deal with these badgers."
Can Sheng Xiping still say no?
This is the result of half a year's work. If all the wild beasts are destroyed, how can they make money?
