Nowadays, young men from Shilou Township and Zhongxing Town are highly sought after by outsiders, and countless girls want to marry them.
When the Sheng brothers met, they had so much to say, and Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xizheng also had a lively chat.
"Yes, yes, we should be happy. Come on, let's go inside and talk." Sheng Lianyi wiped away his tears and hurriedly invited everyone into the courtyard.
People from the two townships work in the fields during the busy farming season, and the whole family does handicrafts in the early morning and evening.
Sheng Xinhua and the others couldn't sit still, so they asked if they could go out and play.
"Go on, go play outside with your brother and the others. Just remember to stay away from ponds and such, and don't damage other people's things."
Sheng Xiping waved his hand, gave the children a few instructions, and then let them leave.
Sheng Xizheng and Sheng Xihong married young and have many children. The oldest is four or five years older than Sheng Xinhua, and the youngest is around ten years old.
It happened to be summer vacation, and the children were all at home. They didn't dare to get close to the adults while they chatted.
Upon hearing that he could go out and play with his younger siblings, he happily led Xinhua and the others away.
Dazhaozhuang itself isn't very big, and in the summer most people spend their time outside enjoying the cool air.
So the news of the Sheng family's arrival quickly spread throughout the village, and anyone who paid attention would find out that it was the second son of the Sheng family who had brought his whole family back.
Many families in the village have made money by working with the pet supplies company. The villagers are kind and grateful to the Sheng family, especially Sheng Xiping.
So when they learned that Sheng Liancheng had brought his children and grandchildren back to his hometown, many people brought gifts to Sheng Lianyi's house to visit the Sheng family.
Faced with everyone's enthusiasm, Sheng Xiping felt a little embarrassed.
Those pet supplies certainly helped people, but the company also made a lot of money from them.
This makes it sound like he did something amazing.
Many villagers arrived one after another. Since there wasn't enough room inside, everyone simply went to the courtyard to sit and chat.
Upon seeing this, Sheng Lianyi quickly sent his son to the countryside to buy more fish and meat, and invited everyone to stay for dinner that evening.
Sheng Xizheng and Sheng Xihong quickly drove to the countryside to buy supplies. More than an hour later, not only did the two brothers return, but Sheng Xiyong, Sheng Xitong, Sheng Xiuying, Sheng Xiuqin, and others who lived in the countryside also returned together.
The truck also carried half a piece of pork, roast chicken, pig's head meat and other cooked food, as well as fish and chicken.
Sheng Xiyong served in the army for several years and returned home just in time for the establishment of the transportation company. He then joined Sheng Xizheng and others to run transportation businesses.
The transportation company was quite profitable, and seeing that Sheng Xiyong was getting old, people quickly started arranging his marriage.
After the first anniversary of the passing of the old lady of the Sheng family, Sheng Xiyong got married and settled down in the countryside, and did not return to live there.
Sheng Xitong is also a child of Sheng Lianyi. He stopped studying after graduating from high school. He got married a few years ago and now works at a pet company and has settled down in the countryside.
As for Sheng Xiuying and Sheng Xiuqin, they both got married a couple of years ago and now have children.
Upon learning that her second uncle's family had returned, they led their husbands and carried their children back for a family reunion.
Everyone pitched in to unload the things from the car. Sheng Lianyi called out to everyone not to leave and to stay for dinner that night.
Then, Sheng Lianyi's wife, along with her daughter-in-law and daughter, went to the kitchen to get busy.
The young wives from the neighborhood also came over to help pick and wash the vegetables.
In the evening, Sheng Lianjie returned with his wife and children.
Sheng Xiwen and Sheng Yunfang are the same age, twenty-six. They got married two years ago and now have a child.
Sheng Xiwu is twenty-three years old and still not married. This guy is a manager at the company, not bad-looking, but he has high standards and doesn't look at ordinary girls.
I finally found someone, we just got engaged, and we plan to get married at the end of the year.
Sheng Xiulian is twenty years old and started working at a company after graduating from high school. Sheng Xiuhe is eighteen and is still studying.
The whole family was reunited; the house was packed with people, both inside and out—it was incredibly lively.
The young men quickly went to borrow tables and chairs, and set up a banquet before dawn. The men accompanied the guests in the courtyard, eating, drinking, chatting, and laughing.
According to the custom in my hometown, women and children don't sit at the table. After finishing preparing the meal, they usually just grab a bite in the kitchen.
But this time Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan came back together, so we can't let the guests eat in the kitchen.
So the family rules were changed. They simply set up a few tables inside the house, and the women and children ate inside, without getting involved with the outside world.
The men ate, drank, and chatted, keeping the festivities going until quite late before finally dispersing and going to rest.
That night, the three Sheng brothers slept on one kang (a heated brick bed) and chatted until midnight before finally going to sleep.
When the third anniversary of the passing of the Sheng family patriarch and matriarch was celebrated, Sheng Liancheng and his wife were unable to return due to other commitments. This time, having returned to their hometown, they naturally had to visit the ancestral graves to pay their respects.
On August 1st, early in the morning, Sheng Xiping went to the village with Sheng Xizheng and others to buy a lot of incense, candles, paper money, fruits, vegetables and other offerings.
Then the family went to the Sheng family cemetery to pay respects to Sheng Guangyao, Sheng Hanshi, and other ancestors of the Sheng family.
The news that Sheng Xiping accompanied his parents back to their hometown somehow spread and even reached the county.
On the morning of the 2nd, county leaders came to Shilou Township in person, found Sheng Lianjie, and said they wanted to meet with President Sheng.
Sheng Lianjie dared not delay and hurriedly led his men back to Dazhao Village. But when they arrived at Dazhao Village, they learned that Sheng Liancheng's family had gone to the Zhang family in Beichangji.
So the group went to the Zhang family's house and there they met Sheng Xiping.
"Second Brother, Xiping, this is Secretary Hong of our county, and this is County Chief Li of our county. They came here especially after hearing that Xiping had returned to his hometown to visit relatives."
