"After the high school is established, the high schools in each forest farm will be merged and the students will all study at the bureau's high school." Zhou Mingyuan said slowly from the other end.

"The establishment of the new school is precisely the time when a large number of teachers are needed. We not only need to draw teachers from various forest farm schools, but also accept a large number of graduates from normal colleges."

The bureau has already submitted a report to higher authorities, requesting that outstanding graduates from this year's undergraduate and associate degree programs in teacher education be selected to teach.

"Qinglan graduated from our forestry department and is a student at Northeast Normal University. Don't worry about this. Your dad will fight tooth and nail to get Qinglan back and make her a teacher at the bureau's high school."

Zhou Mingyuan looked up at Sheng Xiping and said decisively.

Sheng Xiping was stunned. Songlin High School? Right, Songlin High School, how could he have forgotten about that?

Songjianghe Forestry Bureau was a state-owned enterprise under the provincial government, and in those days, the Forestry Bureau held a very high status.

Songlin High School is a school run by a company, and its salaries and benefits are much better than those of local high schools, and even better than the county's top high school.

If Zhou Qinglan could return to Songlin High School to teach, that would be the best thing ever; it would be a hundred times better than her returning to Qianchuan to teach.

"Dad, is this really feasible? Can Qinglan really become a teacher at our bureau's high school?" Sheng Xiping was a little worried. Was this a reliable plan?

"The principal of our forestry school keeps saying things like 'go back to where you came from,' and that he still wants Qinglan to go back to teaching."

"Pah, he's dreaming. Qinglan is a student at Northeast Normal University. Going to teach primary and secondary school in a small mountain village? He's dreaming."

Zhou Mingyuan snorted and curled his lip.

"Our Qinglan has such good grades and is excellent in both character and academics. Countless schools are vying to recruit her. How could it possibly be your Qianchuan Forest Farm's turn?"

Students from Tonghua Normal School or Hunjiang Normal School are lucky to get assigned to a forest farm. Wang Junsheng is still eyeing my daughter? He's dreaming!

"If it weren't for you two, submitting reports to the provincial authorities early on and repeatedly urging them to send Qinglan away, she would have been snatched up by those high schools in the province long ago."

Zhou Mingyuan has put in a lot of effort for his daughter and son-in-law.

Zhou Qinglan graduated from Northeast Normal University, and she will have a good career development no matter which school she teaches at.

But Sheng Xiping is no good. He's just a forestry worker. Even though he's doing very well at Qianchuan Forest Farm, what future does he have if he leaves the forestry sector?

Young couples shouldn't live apart for too long; problems are bound to arise eventually.

So Zhou Mingyuan thought it over and over again, and discussed it with Wang Chunxiu for a long time before making a decision.

"Once Qinglan graduates and starts working at our bureau's high school, I'll think of a way to transfer you from the forest farm to the bureau."

Perfect timing! The house your brother got married in is still vacant. You two can move in there temporarily.

Wait a year or two, and then we'll make other arrangements, whether you buy one or build one yourself.

For the sake of your child's future, you should move out of Qianchuan as soon as possible; that place is far too remote.

Zhou Mingyuan had already made plans for Sheng Xiping. He originally intended to wait until Zhou Qinglan's job was secured before making any decisions, but now he could only inform Sheng Xiping in advance.

Last spring, Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie held their wedding, and not long after, Zhou Qingyang returned to his unit after his leave.

Afterwards, Zhou Qingyang was transferred to another location, and through the joint efforts of the Zhou and Chen families, Chen Jie's job was also transferred to a military hospital there.

Last winter, Chen Jie gave birth to the Zhou family's third-generation eldest grandson, making Zhou Mingyuan and Wang Chunxiu grandparents.

Zhou Qingyang and Chen Jie have already settled in another city, and their newlywed house is now empty.

Zhou Qingyang originally wanted his parents to move over and not stay in the small, dilapidated bungalow here anymore, but Zhou Mingyuan was used to living here, mainly because it was close to the bureau building, so he never moved.

That's perfect. We can let Sheng Xiping and his wife stay here temporarily, and then we can buy a house for them once they've recovered.

"Dad, Mom, will this work?" Sheng Xiping scratched his head. He really hadn't expected his father-in-law and mother-in-law to plan so far ahead for him and his wife.

Moving out of Qianchuan Forest Farm? That's not impossible. The forest farm seems to be thriving right now, but how many years can that thriving last?

Starting next year, the province will issue a document to transfer 45,000 hectares of forest land within the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau's operational area to the Changbai Mountain Nature Reserve.

Timber production activities within the protected area must cease as soon as possible, and personnel must be evacuated at an early date.

As a result, the logging area of ​​several forest farms, including Qianchuan, Shengli, and Ma'anshan, has been directly reduced.

In particular, the forest area in Qianchuan Forest Farm has shrunk significantly, which directly affects timber production.

Because Wang Junsheng and Zheng Xianyong kept insisting on returning to their original places, and Sheng Xiping didn't understand these things, he genuinely believed that Zhou Qinglan would most likely return to Qianchuan to teach in the future.

Both of them work in Qianchuan, and Sheng Liancheng has not retired yet, so Sheng Xiping has no plans to move out for the time being.

He had originally planned that after a few years, once Sheng Liancheng retired and Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu went to school, he would save up some money and move out of Qianchuan.

Around that time, the middle schools in various forest farms were also merged into Songlin No. 1 Middle School, so Zhou Qinglan's job was likely to change as well.

They took the opportunity to move out of Qianchuan and buy a spacious house in Songjianghe, just in time for their two children to go to school and for Sheng Liancheng and his wife to retire.

But if Zhou Qinglan's job wasn't in Qianchuan in the first place, then they really would have to consider moving out.

Songjianghe has a good geographical location and development prospects. Buying a house there now doesn't cost much, so it's quite a good deal.

Moreover, the bureau's teaching level and medical conditions are far better than those of the forest farm.
