Chapter 567 There is an old man

Sheng Xiping received the most grand and warm reception at the Wu family's home. The whole family surrounded him, asking him all sorts of questions and showing him great care.

Yu Wenlan even had someone book a banquet and invited Sheng Xiping to have dinner at her home that evening.

Wu Bingzhong, Wu Bingyi, Wu Yuqing, and others drank some wine with Sheng Xiping, and the group chatted and laughed until quite late.

The next day, Sheng Xiping went to visit Old Yang. Compared with Old Wu, Old Yang's health was worse, and he had been hospitalized several times in the past two years.

When Sheng Xiping returned from abroad, Old Yang was still hospitalized.

Upon hearing that No. 106 and the fleet had returned safely, the old man was in a good mood, and his condition improved considerably. Only then did he leave the hospital and go home to recuperate.

Old Yang was very happy to learn that Sheng Xiping had come to see him.

For example, ask Sheng Xiping what his plans are next and what he wants to do in the future.

That night, Sheng Xikang and Sheng Xitai both stayed at Sheng Xiping's place. The three brothers slept in one room and chatted until midnight.

As an old married couple, and with their child in front of them, Zhou Qinglan couldn't very well rush over and hug her husband.

It's great. There are six siblings, and they are all doing quite well now.

Sheng Xitai is no longer a child; he knows what's important.

"And what about those airplanes and submarines? Don't you want to see what our country's independently developed and produced versions look like?"

At sixteen, Sheng Xinyu was already taller than Sheng Xiping and almost the same height as Sheng Xinhua.

After pulling his sister away, Sheng Xinyu stepped forward and hugged Sheng Xiping. "Dad, you're finally back! We missed you so much!"

Sheng Xiping mechanically nodded in agreement and followed Chief Zhao outside.

She could only suppress her excitement and greet Sheng Xiping with great restraint.

When Sheng Xikang got off work, the three brothers simply went out to find a small restaurant to eat and chat.

He replied that he needed to go home to rest for a while and spend time with his family.

The further the car drove, the stranger it seemed to Sheng Xiping became. Where had it gone?

But Sheng Xiping couldn't very well ask, since they couldn't exactly drag him off to be sold anyway, so he simply decided to leave it alone.

With everything settled in the capital, Sheng Xiping set off on his return journey on April 30th. Around 1 p.m. on May 1st, the train arrived at Songjianghe Station.

"Dad, you've worked hard. My grandpa and grandma are waiting at home. Let's go home first and talk about it there."

In those days, before universities expanded their enrollment, an undergraduate degree was already quite impressive, let alone a postgraduate degree. Sheng Xitai was highly valued by his superiors after he started working.

"Daddy, why did it take you so long to come back? Don't you want us anymore?" The two girls, one on each side, hugged their father and started crying.

According to Zhang Shuzhen, the Sheng family's ancestral graves must have been emitting auspicious smoke for them to have such a great opportunity.

Sheng Xitai scratched his head and said something rather embarrassed.

"Hello, Comrade Xiao Sheng."

"Dad misses you too. Let's go home first and talk about it there."

"We broke up, and that was it; I wasn't particularly sad."

Sheng Xiping was stunned when he heard this. He had just returned to the capital. Who would want to see him?

"Sir, may I ask which leader wishes to see me?"

People always need to have some aspirations.

The secretary next to him was taking notes rapidly in her notebook.

Sheng Xiping disregarded all of this, gently freeing himself from his two daughters' hands, taking two steps forward, and embracing his wife.

He was sent to another city a few days ago to inspect the progress of the communication cable laying; he was not in the capital.

Secretary Chen politely saw the two out and left Sheng Xiping's contact information.

Chief Zhao was being secretive and refused to say, only telling Sheng Xiping that he would know when they met.

Back then, we would go to the library together to read and study, and occasionally go hiking or have a get-together with our classmates.

Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xikang's eyes widened immediately. "Damn it, you..."

Why didn't you say so sooner?

If you had told us earlier, I would have tried to find a way to transfer that girl's job back to the capital.

"Yes, yes, I know, please rest assured, leader." Sheng Xiping nodded emphatically and got into the car with Chief Zhao.

Sheng Xiping had originally wanted to pat his son's head, but now he could only pat his back instead.

For the past two years, with Sheng Xiping away from home, Zhou Qinglan has had to take care of her parents-in-law and look after her four children.

Let Dad see my two precious darlings. Oh my, it's been two years since I last saw them, and they've both grown into beautiful young ladies.

"You idiot, you didn't even tell your family about something so important."

Since Sheng Xiping had promised his eldest son, he could only stay in the capital for a couple more days until Sheng Xitai returned and the two brothers met before leaving.

"Qinglan, thank you for your hard work." All the words in the world could be summed up in just these few.

"Brother, I know. Xiangxue and I are getting along very well. We've discussed it and will get engaged before the new year and get married next year."

On the other side, Sheng Xinhua, who was already in the first year of high school, and Sheng Xinyu, who was in the second year of junior high school, could only come over, each grabbing one of their younger sisters and pulling them apart.

On the chair, an elderly man who looked to be over eighty years old nodded to Sheng Xiping with a kind and friendly smile.

"Mom, Dad's home!" the two girls announced excitedly.

Sheng Xiping stayed in the courtyard for less than half an hour. The old man was very busy, and it was already quite rare that he was able to chat with Sheng Xiping for so long.

"Xiao Zhao" refers to Chief Zhao, and "Xiao Chen" refers to the secretary from earlier.

"Xiao Zhao, help Comrade Xiao Sheng up. Come over here and sit down." The old man waved his hand with a smile.

That afternoon, Sheng Xitai rushed back from out of town, and the brothers met.
