The forest farm leaders held a meeting and decided to start production on the seventh day of the first lunar month. That afternoon, the farm's loudspeaker announced the news several times, and everyone in the forest farm knew about it.

Given that the previous accident resulted in more than ten people being seriously injured and hospitalized, and that the work team was short-handed, the site decided to reorganize the previous six work teams into three work teams.

Of the three foreman positions that Feng Baosheng promoted, Guo Chunsheng and Zhao Qingli are both hospitalized, and the other one has been removed from his position and will become a tractor driver.

The two tractor drivers, Wang Tianliang and Wang Yuanjun, have returned to their original forest farm. The farm has then arranged for Chen Weiguo to be the tractor driver, and has also assigned him an assistant.

On the morning of the seventh day of the lunar new year, a motorcycle towed a cargo truck to transport chainsaw operators, chainsaw assistants, and other personnel up the mountain.

Then they made several more trips, sending the others up one after another.

The site adopted Sheng Xiping's suggestion, and all three work teams adopted an assembly line operation. The sawers at the front were only responsible for felling trees, while there were dedicated people at the back responsible for processes such as branch trimming and timber processing. Each work team used two tractors to collect timber.

At the loading yard, winch operators work in two shifts, loading and transporting goods day and night.

Although production was delayed a lot before the Lunar New Year due to various reasons, everyone seemed undeterred after the holiday and instead had a strong sense of determination.

Everyone understood that whether this year's production targets could be met would determine whether Zheng Xianyong could officially become the Party Secretary.

In order to prevent the higher-ups from transferring in another clueless and troublesome person, everyone must work hard to secure Zheng Xianyong's position.

After all, Zheng Xianyong came from Qianchuan Forest Farm. If he becomes the secretary, there won't be any major changes in Qianchuan Forest Farm for at least three to five years, and everyone can live a peaceful life.

Thus, with everyone working together and putting in extra hours, this year's mining and transportation tasks are proceeding at an extremely fast pace.

Zhou Qinglan stayed at her parents' home for a few more days, and on the tenth day of the first lunar month, she returned to the forest farm with the repaired commuter bus.

As soon as I returned to the forest farm, Principal Wang called me over to continue giving lectures to the teachers.

Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei also started classes on the tenth day of the Lunar New Year. Only Sheng Xitai could stay at home and have a peaceful winter vacation.

Of course, his older brother and sister-in-law are keeping an eye on him, so it's absolutely impossible for him to run wild and not study all day.

Sheng Xitai not only finished his winter vacation homework, but also previewed most of the courses for the second semester of junior high school under the watchful eyes of his older brothers.

After leaving on New Year's Eve, Hua Hua spent some time outside before returning to the Sheng family.

The two kids, who had cried because they couldn't find their big tiger after waking up, were overjoyed to see Huahua. They hugged Huahua tightly and wouldn't let go, and insisted on sleeping with Huahua at night.

From then on, Hua Hua would usually stay at home for two or three days, then go out for four or five days. After she had had enough of that, she would go back to the Sheng family home to stay with the two kids.

On the 26th day of the first lunar month, Zhou Qinglan, Sheng Xi'an, and the other two packed their bags and embarked on their journey to pursue their studies.

This time, Zhang Shuzhen learned her lesson. She took Sheng Xinyu and Sheng Xinhua out to play beforehand, and the three of them only returned after Zhou Qinglan and the others left.

Sheng Xinhua, that little devil, couldn't find his mother when he came in, and immediately pouted as if he was about to cry.

Luckily, Hua Hua was home. Hearing that something was wrong with Sheng Xinhua, Hua Hua came straight from the west room, circled around Sheng Xinhua, and nudged him with her head.

Which child could resist a big tiger taking the initiative to be friendly?

Sheng Xinhua's crying stopped abruptly as he hugged Hua Hua and went off to play.

Where did Mom go? That question was immediately forgotten; who cares about that now?

As for Sheng Xinyu, the kid is still young and has a simple nature. Before he could even react to what was going on, he was attracted by Huahua and went to play with her too.

Seeing this, Zhang Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, Huahua was at home, otherwise she would have had to spend a lot of time coaxing her.

In the blink of an eye, the ice and snow melted, winter passed and spring came, and the temperature rose day by day.

Of the injured people hospitalized, all except the shuttle bus driver have been discharged and returned home.

Some of the injuries that weren't so serious went back to work on the construction team immediately, while those who had broken legs or arms were discharged from the hospital and went home to recuperate, and are not yet able to do heavy physical labor.

After the Qingming Festival, the logging work on the mountain is coming to an end.

Without Feng Baosheng causing trouble, Zheng Xianyong led all the employees in a two-month hard-fought battle and exceeded this year's production target.

Human potential is limitless. After going through so much, the entire team worked together as one, day and night, and produced an impressive report card that was no less impressive than in previous years.

This year, the work team came down the mountain a little later. It wasn't until April 25th that the entire frontline work team of Qianchuan Forest Farm withdrew from the mountain.

Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping carried their luggage home. As soon as they entered the door, Sheng Liancheng called out, "Old woman, we're back."

It was almost noon, and Zhang Shuzhen was tidying up in the outer room to prepare dinner when she heard a noise outside. She peeked out.

"Oh, we're finally down the mountain! Hurry up and put your luggage inside. I'll take it apart and wash it when I have time."

"You two don't need to change yet. Go to the cellar in the backyard and tidy it up."

Upon seeing Sheng Liancheng and his son, Zhang Shuzhen first assigned them tasks.

There's no one idle in the family these days. Zhang Shuzhen has to take care of the children, do laundry, and cook, so she's really too busy.

We don't even know what the vegetable cellar looks like. If we don't clean it up quickly, the vegetables will rot and we won't be able to salvage them.

"Check how many cabbages are left at the bottom, peel back the outer leaves, keep the good ones for now, and bring up the bad ones."
