Chapter 514 Disposable Chopsticks

There were many things to do in Shenzhen, so Wu Yucheng and Sheng Yunfei didn't have a chance to stay in the capital for long. On May 6th, the two flew back to Shenzhen.

Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen discussed with their son that they wanted to go back to their hometown for a visit.

February of this year was supposed to be the third anniversary of the passing of the Sheng family patriarch, but Zhang Shuzhen's health was not good after the New Year, and she was unable to return home for a while.

Now that they were in the capital, not far from their hometown, Sheng Liancheng thought about going back to visit.

So, Sheng Xiping accompanied his parents back to their hometown.

My hometown is much better now than it was a few years ago.

With the support of Sheng Xiping, Shilou Township, together with the neighboring Zhongxing Township, established a company specializing in the production and sales of pet supplies, with the brothers Sheng Xiwen and Sheng Xiwu serving as managers.

Currently, the company's products include cat trees, scratching posts, pet beds, cat toys, pet clothes, pet toys, etc., which are exported overseas and are loved by foreign users.

The transportation team established by Sheng Xiyong, Sheng Xizheng, Sheng Xihong and others initially had only six vehicles, but now it has grown to more than ten, and they are making a lot of money.

Although the people in my hometown are very warm and my siblings and I get along very well with each other, it always feels like something is missing now that my parents are gone.

It's May, and the temperature is rising. The two children, wearing pink sweaters and with pigtails tied with pink ribbons, flew to their father's side like two butterflies.

Sheng Liancheng worked hard all his life and was used to being diligent. Now that he's retired and has nothing to do, how could he stay idle?

In addition, Sheng Xiping had a lot of things to do, so the three of them didn't stay in their hometown for more than a few days before setting off back to Northeast China.

“We haven’t planted those five or six acres of land yet. Before Xiaoman arrives, I need to hurry back and plant the land. If I dawdle for a few more days, we’ll be too late.”

The little girl, who is six years old (by Chinese reckoning), has fair skin, big eyes, rosy cheeks, and chubby little hands. She is incredibly cute no matter how you look at her.

Without any adult supervision or anyone watching over them, the two children complete their homework automatically and spontaneously every day.

"Oh dear, if you two get any bigger, I won't be able to carry you anymore."

There's an old saying that it's never too late to plant anything between the Beginning of Summer and Grain Full. The solar terms in Qianchuan Forest Farm are a few days later than elsewhere, so planting at this time is still okay; the crops will be ready in the fall.

May is the critical period for afforestation and forest fire prevention, and there are few people in the forest farm during the day.

"Come on, let's go inside." Sheng Xiping led his two sons into the house.

"Dad, you're finally back! I thought you were going to stay at the forest farm tonight."

Sheng Xiping couldn't persuade his parents otherwise, so he had no choice but to agree. The three of them took a donkey cart to Sheng Xiping's house, and then Sheng Xiping drove his parents back to the forest farm.

"How can that be the same? What you earn is yours."

Taking the opportunity, Sheng Liancheng visited his parents' graves, and then accompanied Zhang Shuzhen back to the Zhang family home for two days to also visit and pay respects at the graves of Zhang's parents.

On the kang (heated brick bed) in the east room, two little girls were playing house. Hearing their father's noise, they immediately put on their shoes, got off the kang, and ran to the outer room.

"Daddy." The two girls hugged Sheng Xiping's arms, one on each side.

"Xiping, why don't you drive us home directly? We won't stay in Songjianghe anymore," Sheng Liancheng said as they exited the train station.

The two kids are well-fed and strong, and quite heavy. It was a bit strenuous for Sheng Xiping to carry both of them at once.

Sheng Xiping took his parents home, visited his master and mistress at the Dajianchang plantation, and then drove back to Songjianghe. By the time he got home, it was almost six o'clock.

"Yueyue, Qiqi, what are you doing? Didn't you hear Daddy coming home?" Sheng Xiping deliberately spoke loudly towards the east room.

"Dad, do you think our family needs the little bit of grain you grow? Just stay put and don't work that hard."

"Daddy, I missed you so much! Why did it take you so long to come back? Daddy, give me a hug."

"That's right, that's right. Your dad and I don't have anything else to do, so we just tend to the land and plant a little bit of everything so you can eat when you come back."

"No matter how you buy it outside, it can't compare to the fragrance of what we grow ourselves." Zhang Shuzhen chimed in.

The family of three returned to Songjianghe on May 18th.

The Sheng Lianyi brothers, no matter how far away they were, all came back to reunite.

"You're retired now, so you and Mom should just rest. You suffered when you were young, so you should take good care of yourself when you're old. Why bother going through all that trouble?"

Furthermore, you know, I'm a company CEO, I earn so much money every year, yet I still have my dad farming.

I planted some sticky corn to eat in the fall, and the kids love it.

"Have you eaten yet? Have you finished your homework?" Sheng Xiping hugged his two sons tightly, patted their backs, and asked.

Sheng Xiping's heart melted instantly. He quickly bent down, put one arm around each of his daughters' waists, and picked them both up.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping was at a loss for words.

When Sheng Xiping drove home, he told Aunt Li that the children were waiting for their father when they got home from school.

Let's also gather some millet and red beans, so we can make sticky rice cakes in winter and sticky mouse traps in summer. It'll be a refreshing treat, won't it?

When Sheng Liancheng and his family of three returned home, they were welcomed by the entire village.

Elementary school ends around 4 p.m. Sheng Xinhua is in fourth grade and has more homework, while Sheng Xinyu is in second grade and has less homework.

"I finished my homework a long time ago, but I haven't eaten yet. I'll wait for you to come back and eat."

"If word gets out, won't people laugh at me to death?" Sheng Xiping shook his head and smiled bitterly. He really couldn't understand what the old man was thinking.

"Dad." Sheng Xinhua and Sheng Xinyu were playing with the dog in the yard when they rushed over as soon as they saw Sheng Xiping return.
