"Uncle Chen, it will be easier for Minzi to move around once he gets a prosthetic leg. If the bureau doesn't care, then we'll have to go find another one."
"We've searched so many times already, what's there to be afraid of?"
Sheng Xiping felt a headache coming on; dealing with this stubborn person was sometimes really hard to explain.
“Minzi, figure this out yourself.”
Your sister-in-law is currently on maternity leave at home. She used to teach art and music to third and fourth graders, but now there's no one to take care of her.
That day, Principal Wang asked if there was a suitable candidate to help cover the classes for a while.
If you think it's a good idea, I'll mention it to the principal and ask you to fill in for your sister-in-law for a while.
Putting everything else aside, you can't stay cooped up at home all day. You need to go out. Going out will improve your mood. Having something meaningful to do will give you purpose, you understand?
If it weren't for the fact that the Chen brothers had helped him a lot in his previous life, Sheng Xiping wouldn't have bothered with any of this.
"Brother Xiping, let me think about this." Chen Weimin didn't immediately agree, only saying that he needed to think about it.
Sheng Xiping didn't say anything more, so he stayed at the Chen family's house for a while before taking his leave.
It's unclear what the Chen family discussed after Sheng Xiping left, but the next day, Chen Shiliang led Chen Weimin to the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau again.
As it turned out, neither Secretary Zhao nor Deputy Secretary Yang, who were in charge, were in the bureau. Chen Shiliang got angry and took Chen Weimin by train to the provincial capital.
Several days later, Sheng Xiping learned the news, and he could only shake his head and remain silent.
If this were so easy to do, Chen Weimin wouldn't have been searching for so many years in his past life.
Even if the Chen family went to the provincial capital, it wouldn't amount to anything, and they would eventually have to come back.
Of course, Sheng Xiping had no right to interfere in the Chen family's affairs. He had said what he could say and advised what he could advise. As for the rest, Sheng Xiping had no say in it.
Production for this year's winter sports season is scheduled to begin on November 2nd.
As in previous years, the forest farm held a grand winter production mobilization meeting, organized performances, and then sent off the frontline staff as they went into the mountains to work and log.
Sheng Xiping works in the security department and doesn't need to go up the mountain. Sheng Xi'an, after registering, asked for leave from the educated youth team and stayed home to study for the college entrance examination.
Therefore, this year only Sheng Liancheng from the Sheng family went up the mountain to work.
After Sheng Liancheng left, everything in the Sheng family continued as usual.
Zhou Qinglan is still on maternity leave. Every day, besides breastfeeding her baby, she reads books and reviews her lessons.
Sheng Xi'an practically ate and slept with books in his hands. Even Sheng Xikang, who will graduate from high school next year, has now perked up and is studying all day to prepare for next year's college entrance examination.
Zhou Qinglan had to study, do exercises, and review her lessons, and she also had to take care of Sheng Xinyu. Just these two things kept her busy and overwhelmed, and she couldn't take care of anything else.
Sheng Xiping has to go to work, and in his spare time he also has to go up the mountain to set traps, dig snares, or take the dogs hunting, so he's always extremely busy.
The responsibility of managing both the household and the outside world fell on Zhang Shuzhen's shoulders.
Fortunately, Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei are both grown up and come home early after school at noon and in the afternoon to help with cooking, washing dishes, and tidying up the house.
Sheng Xitai seems to have become more sensible. He tries his best to help with household chores, and sometimes he finishes his homework at school and then coaxes Sheng Xinhua when he gets home.
In life, I'm not afraid of being poor; I'm afraid of family members not being of one mind.
When the entire Sheng family works together with one mind and one purpose, what can't they accomplish?
The first college entrance examination after its resumption was held at different times across the country. In Jilin Province, it was held on November 28th and 29th.
Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is a large forestry bureau with its own examination center, so Sheng Xi'an and Zhou Qinglan do not need to go to the county to take the exam.
On November 27th, Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan, carrying their second child Sheng Xinyu, along with other students from Qianchuan Forest Farm who were taking the college entrance examination, traveled to Songjianghe in a vehicle specially arranged by the forest farm.
Some candidates stayed with relatives and friends, while others stayed in hotels. The Sheng family of four stayed at the Zhou family's house.
When Zhou Mingyuan and his wife saw their little grandson, they were overjoyed and held the child tightly, refusing to let go.
Of course, the most important thing right now is for Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xi'an to take the college entrance examination.
To fully support the college entrance examination, Wang Chunxiu specially switched classes with someone else and has been staying at home these past few days to take care of the children and cook, focusing on serving the two examinees.
The first day's exams were Chinese in the morning, and history and geography for humanities students and physics and chemistry for science students in the afternoon.
The math exam was on the second day, and the politics exam was on the afternoon.
If you want to apply to a foreign language college or a foreign language major, you will need to take an additional foreign language test.
Sheng Xi'an was good at science, and the self-study books at home were all science-related, so he chose science.
Zhou Qinglan's academic performance was similar in both arts and sciences, but her family's study materials were all for science, not arts, so she chose science as well.
The exam was held in winter, and the exam room conditions were poor; there was only a stove in the middle, and the room wasn't very warm.
But even the coldest environment couldn't dampen the burning passion in the hearts of the test-takers. Countless students wrote furiously in such conditions, giving their all for their future.
From the announcement of the resumption of the college entrance examination to the actual examination in this province, there was only a little over a month.
Many students who register for the exam don't even have time or materials to study; they just rely on their old knowledge and grit their teeth to take the exam.
In comparison, Sheng Xi'an and Zhou Qinglan are much better off.
Sheng Xiping had bought them review materials long ago, and the two of them studied whenever they had free time, making them more prepared than others.
Especially Sheng Xi'an, who spent the last month with a book in his hand all the time except when eating and sleeping.
