Chapter 568 Going home is the most comfortable

"How could I? This is my home. How could I abandon my home?"

Sheng Xiping was laughing heartily, letting his wife punch him as he kept laughing.

"Dad, get in the car. My grandparents must be getting impatient waiting at home."

Sheng Xinhua watched his parents showing off with a helpless expression, and seeing the strange looks from the people around him, he could only cough and remind the two of their presence.

Sheng Xiping then released Zhou Qinglan, and the couple led the children into the car.

"Hello, Mr. Sheng." The driver in the car quickly greeted him.

The family was having a reunion earlier, so the driver didn't want to join in the fun. Now he finally got his chance.

"Xiao Zhang, Xiao Li, long time no see." Sheng Xiping nodded to the two drivers.

The children are all grown up, and they can't fit in one car, so they have to sit separately.

The two cars drove away from the train station one after the other, heading straight for the Sheng family's home.

During his tenure at the Forestry Department, Zhou Mingyuan excelled in all aspects of his work and achieved remarkable results.

"So what if you're a little thin? It's not a big deal. I'll cook you some good food, and you'll be back to your old self in less than two weeks."

Sure enough, the car stopped in front of him, and Sheng Xiping got out.

"I consider this a successful mission, and I can retire with honor," Zhou Mingyuan said with a smile.

Thankfully the weather is nice now and not cold, otherwise I might have gotten seriously ill from the cold.

"You damn bastard, you've been gone for two years without coming back."

"Dad, Mom, why are you both standing outside?"

Zhou Qinglan immediately arranged for a driver to go to the forest farm and pick up the elderly couple.

Zhang Shuzhen took two steps to Sheng Xiping and grabbed her son's hand.

We were thinking of you and came out to greet you, but we made a mistake.

Sheng Xiping had just boarded the train yesterday when his family received a call informing them that he was coming home today.

As soon as Sheng Xiping got out of the car, he was bewildered by his elders. Why weren't they staying inside? Why had they all come outside?

I should have retired the year before last, but the understory economy hadn't shown any results yet, so I persisted for another two years.

As Zhang Shuzhen spoke, she couldn't help but burst into tears.

“Oh, that’s perfect. I’m going back to the forest farm in a couple of days. Dad, do you want to come with me?”

When we have some free time, we can go fishing or something; it'll keep us company.

Sure enough, once her in-laws spoke, Zhang Shuzhen felt too embarrassed to complain about her son anymore.

Sheng Liancheng hadn't seen his son for two years and was very excited, but he couldn't bring himself to do it.

At the east end of the first floor, outside the gate of Sheng Xiping's house, were Sheng Liancheng, Zhou Mingyuan, Zhang Shuzhen, Wang Chunxiu, and Aunt Li.

I'm really fine, nothing's wrong. It's just that the wind at sea is so strong, it blew me up like this."

"Come on, let's go home. We've made some delicious food at home. Eat more to nourish yourselves." Zhang Shuzhen wiped her face and invited everyone into the yard.

Sheng Xiping has no plans to go out for the time being since he returned. He wants to spend time with his parents, wife and children, so he plans to go back to the forest farm and enjoy a few leisurely days.

"My dear in-law, please stop scolding him. The fact that the child is back safe and sound is the most important thing."

"Mom, don't cry. I'm fine. It's just that I went a long way and something happened on the way, which is why I came back late."

"Dad, when did you and Mom come back from Heilongjiang Province? Are you retired?"

"My God, what happened to you? You're so dark and skinny, you look like a refugee. Where have you been?"

Sheng Xiping chatted with Zhou Mingyuan as he walked into the courtyard.

When Wang Chunxiu saw this, she thought, "Fine, I'll have to be the one to persuade them."

Last autumn, he was promoted to vice governor and concurrently served as an advisor to the Forestry Department.

"Yes, I just got back a few days ago and I cancelled the order."

Zhang Shuzhen is already this age, how could she be easily fooled? She doesn't believe her son's nonsense.

When his mother started crying, Sheng Xiping panicked and quickly tried to comfort her.

"Look at you, why did you have to go out and ruin yourself like this?"

"You're just trying to fool me. What kind of wind can make someone so thin? You must have been eating and sleeping poorly to look like this."

Therefore, he retired from his position as vice governor this year, and his benefits are much higher than before.

Last year, the medicinal herbs planted there, such as licorice, gastrodia elata, blueberries, honeysuckle, and schisandra berries, were all ready for a bumper harvest, and the profits were quite good.

"Get out of my way, are you trying to show off?"

So he glared at her, raised his hand slightly, and looked like he was about to teach Sheng Xiping a lesson.

Before anything could happen, Zhang Shuzhen shoved him aside and pulled him up.

As for Zhou Mingyuan, he had just retired a few days ago. Knowing that his son-in-law was coming back, the couple also came to wait for him.

Several people were standing by the roadside, craning their necks to look west; they were waiting for Sheng Xiping.

Seeing two cars turn in this direction from afar, everyone immediately became excited.

"He's back, he's back, it must be Xiping who's back."

"Okay, then that's a good idea."

Zhou Mingyuan was delighted to hear this, as he was worried about what to do after retirement.

Now that their grandson and granddaughter are all grown up, the couple doesn't need to coax them anymore. They just sit at home staring at each other all day long, which is so boring.

As they were talking, everyone went inside. Sheng Xiping sat on the sofa with his father and father-in-law, chatting, while Zhou Qinglan and Zhang Shuzhen hurried to the kitchen to get busy.

Before long, the food was served, including six dishes and steaming dumplings.

“These are shepherd’s purse that your dad and I dug up from our field. We’re having shepherd’s purse dumplings today.”
