Sheng Xiping was in a real hurry; he still had to head south to take care of important business.
After saying that, Sheng Xiping was about to leave when Liu Yujiang and Liu Yuhe quickly stopped him, insisting that he stay and have dinner before leaving.
"No, big brother, second brother, I just got home. My mom doesn't know what happened yet, and I haven't had a chance to tell her."
Besides, I still need to go to the forest farm to find a vehicle, so I won't eat at home today.
"Let's get together properly another day, once things are settled." Sheng Xiping declined the Liu family's offer and took his leave.
After leaving Dajianchang Village, Sheng Xiping went straight to Zheng Xianyong's house.
Zheng Xianyong was quite surprised to see Sheng Xiping. When he learned that Sheng Xiping wanted a ride, Zheng Xianyong agreed without hesitation.
Then, Sheng Xiping went to the forest farm's dispatch office, borrowed a phone to call the provincial government, and told Chen Ruiqing that he had some urgent business to attend to and would be delayed in going to Guangdong Province.
It's uncertain when exactly I can go.
Chen Ruiqing only told Sheng Xiping to call him when he arrived in Guangzhou, and then he would arrange for someone to make the arrangements.
Long-distance calls were too expensive, so the two didn't talk for long before hanging up.
After finishing all that, Sheng Xiping returned home, just as Zhang Shuzhen had finished preparing the meal.
While the family of four ate, Sheng Xiping told Zhang Shuzhen about his trip to the capital.
After hearing Sheng Xiping's words, Zhang Shuzhen breathed a sigh of relief, "So that's how it is."
The third brother is the same; he has a girl he likes but doesn't tell his family. If he had told me earlier, I would have given him a watch.
"Boss, when you go to the capital, bring something back for that girl from the Wu family. Just say it's from me."
With her children all grown up, Zhang Shuzhen had long been prepared. Over the years, she had saved up several watches, which were intended for her future daughter-in-law.
Now that she knows Sheng Xikang has a girlfriend, a student at Peking University, and from the capital, Zhang Shuzhen is quite happy.
Although the Sheng family is from a small place, they still adhere to proper etiquette and rules.
“Okay, I’ll take it over.” Sheng Xiping nodded without saying anything more.
This is normal. When Sheng Xiping and Zhou Qinglan were dating, Zhang Shuzhen had prepared a watch as a gift for them.
After finishing his meal, Sheng Xiping played with his two sons for a while before going to bed early.
These past few days I've been traveling back and forth on trains, and I haven't been eating or sleeping well, it's really uncomfortable. I might as well get some rest.
On the morning of March 11, Sheng Xiping and his sons Liu Changde and Liu Yuhe got into a car arranged by the forest farm and headed straight for Songjianghe.
I took a bus from Songjianghe to Tonghua, and then from Tonghua to the capital. I even missed a stop on the bus. It took me almost three days to finally arrive in the capital.
After arriving in the capital, the group first found a place to settle down. Then, Sheng Xiping called the school's reception office, and after several transfers, he finally found Sheng Xikang.
Instruct Sheng Xikang to inform the Wu family that the sheep blood has been secured and that the holder is staying at a hotel.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xikang was overjoyed and hurriedly told Wu Yuhua the good news.
Wu Yuhua then realized that Sheng Xikang's elder brother hadn't gone to the south, but had instead returned to the northeast to help source Dengxuan sheep blood.
Upon hearing that the lamb blood had been secured, Wu Yuhua excitedly called home and asked them to arrange for someone to pick up Sheng Xiping and his party from the hotel.
The Wu family was incredibly excited when they heard the news.
Wu Bingzhong and Wu Bingyi, who were at work, rushed back and personally led a group to the hotel to find Sheng Xiping.
"Xiping, thank you so much. I never expected that you would not go south for the sake of our old man, but instead returned to the Northeast."
"Oh my, you're such a good son, how can we possibly thank you?" Wu Bingzhong grabbed Sheng Xiping's hand, too excited to say anything.
"Uncle, it's no trouble at all to thank me. Let me introduce you to someone. If nothing unexpected happens, this person is an old friend of Old Wu."
Sheng Xiping smiled nonchalantly and led everyone to Liu Changde's room.
