Chapter 525 Zhou Mingyuan transferred to the provincial capital

Chinese New Year is early this year, with Lunar New Year's Eve on January 28th. There are only a few days left.

Wu Yucheng was worried about his pregnant wife, and Sheng Xiping, who had been away from home for two months, also wanted to go back to see her.

Therefore, after the machine tool transaction was completed, Sheng Xiping handed over the border trade matters to Sun Jinggang, Wang Dongcheng and others.

The company had made a good profit this year, and as the year draws to a close, Sheng Xiping had no choice but to show his appreciation.

Those who are due to receive dividends will receive dividends, and those who are due to receive year-end bonuses will receive year-end bonuses. Everyone has worked hard all year, so let's give them something substantial.

Besides the company itself, Longjiang Hotel and the transportation company have also had good business this year.

After consulting with several companies, Sheng Xiping also gave year-end bonuses to all employees.

Compared to last year, this year's year-end bonus is much more generous, with the cash prize alone exceeding one thousand yuan, plus rice, flour, oil, meat, and other items.

In addition, Sheng Xiping purchased a large amount of supplies to visit and comfort the border guards, and held a joint celebration with them.

With all this done, things in Heihe are considered settled.

The group chatted as they made dumplings.

Perhaps it is truly the influence of blood ties that makes Sheng Xinyao so friendly. She doesn't cry when anyone holds her; she just smiles sweetly and seems to adore people.

In recent years, under the leadership of Zhou Mingyuan, Songjianghe Forestry Bureau has achieved remarkable results in terms of timber harvesting, forest product development, and comprehensive utilization of forest understory.

As she spoke, Zhang Shuzhen carried Sheng Xinyao to the kang (a heated brick bed), took off her hat and scarf, and untied her coat.

The little girl's voice was soft and sweet, and Zhang Shuzhen was so pleased that she agreed repeatedly.

"No, Dad is doing a great job here, why would they transfer him?" Sheng Xiping asked, puzzled.

The child was young, only a few months old when he came back last year, so naturally he didn't recognize his family.

"Oh, you're finally back! We've been waiting for you. Come on, let me see my granddaughter."

Zhang Shuzhen was overjoyed to see her son and daughter-in-law enter the door. Forgetting that she still had flour in her hands, she quickly went to hug her granddaughter.

Feng Shuyan and Sheng Xi'an also took off their coats and washed their hands to help make dumplings.

Sheng Xiping, on the other hand, took the train back with Sheng Xi'an's family to celebrate the Chinese New Year together.

"Oh, oh, my dear granddaughter, I've missed you so much."

Sheng Xiping picked out some interesting and talkative things to tell his family.

Sheng Xiping's house was warm, so she didn't need to wear so many clothes. Sheng Xinyao was only wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket and trousers, so she wasn't as restrained as before.

Afterwards, Wu Yucheng flew to the capital, then transferred to Shenzhen to reunite with his wife for the Lunar New Year.

"Xinyao, this is Grandma, quickly say hello to Grandma." Feng Shuyan handed the child to Zhang Shuzhen and taught her daughter to greet her.

On the 17th, Sheng Xiping and Wu Yucheng set off and flew to Harbin.

"Alright, alright, just give him a hug, didn't you see he's wearing so many clothes?"

"Quickly put her on the kang (heated brick bed). I've taken off her clothes so she won't sweat too much later."

So when Sheng Xinyao heard this, she immediately hugged Zhang Shuzhen's neck and called her "Grandma".

Having just learned that Sheng Xiping and the others were coming back, the elderly couple didn't rush back to the forest farm and decided to spend the Lunar New Year here instead.

Secretary Xu was getting old and lacked the necessary education, so he was transferred from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau to the provincial level, and retired after six months.

Sheng Xinyao is already one and a half years old. This girl's appearance is a combination of her parents' best features: big eyes, a high nose, and fair and tender skin, making her particularly adorable.

The Secretary Xu that Zhou Qinglan mentioned is the one who succeeded Zhao Yongsheng.

However, the child is quite well-behaved, and Feng Shuyan often points to the photos and teaches him when she is at home.

I spent two days in Harbin, meeting with some leaders from relevant departments to pave the way for things in Manzhouli.

Zhang Shuzhen and Sheng Liancheng came down a couple of days ago, mainly to buy things for the New Year and to stay for a couple of days.

They rushed home as fast as they could, and it wasn't until the afternoon of the Lunar New Year's Eve that the four of them arrived.

Everyone listened intently, and when the story got funny, they all laughed heartily.

Over there, Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xitai, who had just returned home for the holidays, also came over, vying to hold the child.

As they were chatting, Sheng Liancheng suddenly remembered something important and hurriedly instructed Sheng Xiping.

Zhou Qinglan sighed, "He's been transferred to the Provincial Forestry Department as deputy director, just like Secretary Xu back then."

Compared with other bureaus, Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is more profitable and its workers enjoy better welfare benefits, and Zhou Mingyuan can be said to have made great contributions to this.

"What else could it be? It's about that fallen tree incident, of course," Zhou Qinglan sighed.

His father-in-law will be fifty-eight after the New Year. What can he do if he's transferred to the provincial level at that age? Retire and enjoy his retirement?

"Honey, what's going on? Dad's been transferred to the provincial capital. What position?" Sheng Xiping turned to Zhou Qinglan and asked.

"Huh? My father-in-law is being transferred to the provincial capital?" Sheng Xiping was taken aback upon hearing this.

Moreover, Zhou Mingyuan is not yet of retirement age, so why was he transferred?

"By the way, boss, tomorrow you and Qinglan take the kids and go back to your father-in-law's house. Your father-in-law is being transferred to the provincial capital and will be leaving after the New Year."

Seeing that Sheng Liancheng was holding his granddaughter tightly, Zhang Shuzhen quickly said something.

When Sheng Xinyue and Sheng Xinqi saw their younger sister, they were also very fond of her, so they found a bunch of dolls and took their sister to play.

"When I was drinking with Dad that time, didn't he say he wasn't going to interfere anymore? What did he do after that?"

Sheng Liancheng couldn't help but ask Sheng Xi'an how things were in Harbin, and then ask Sheng Xiping if his trip to Heihe went smoothly.

Sheng Xiping was even more confused. When they were drinking at the Zhou family's house, Zhou Mingyuan had already decided to ignore the matter after being persuaded by Sheng Xiping and Guo Shouye. What happened after that?
