Trade in Heihe was delayed for a while due to the freezing of the Heilongjiang River, and it will not resume until New Year's Day.
So most of them were transferred to Harbin and Manzhouli to continue trading with the Russians via railway.
Tengyue Company now has offices in several important cities in Russia.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Wu Bingzhong also sent many people over to infiltrate the country little by little and try to recruit Russian scientific and technological talents.
For routine trade, Sheng Xiping's involvement is unnecessary, so he didn't travel to Heihe this winter.
Of course, another reason is that Sheng Yunfang is getting married.
Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin set their wedding date for the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, and the wedding would be held in Shenyang.
Because the wedding date is so close to the Chinese New Year, and Shenyang is so far away, it would be too much trouble to go back to the bride's parents' home after the wedding.
So the two families discussed and decided to hold a banquet at the Sheng family's place first to entertain relatives and friends.
Afterwards, the Sheng family accompanied the newlyweds to Shenyang for their formal wedding. After the New Year, when the couple returned to Shanghai, they would host a banquet for their respective leaders and colleagues.
This arrangement is the most reasonable.
Sheng Yunfang's marriage is a major event for the Sheng family. Not only will her brothers and sisters, such as Sheng Xikang, come back, but relatives and friends will also be there to celebrate and join in the fun.
After discussion, everyone decided that Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin would fly from Shanghai to Changchun, where they would meet up with Sheng Xi'an, Zhou Mingyuan, Chen Ruiqing, and others. Then they would drive back to Songjianghe together, which would save time.
As for Sheng Xikang, Sheng Xitai, Sheng Yunfei, and others, they traveled from the capital to Tonghua by train, where someone was arranged to pick them up.
Zhang Shouzhi was in Fushun, which was close to Shenyang, so he went directly to Shenyang to attend the wedding.
Back in their hometown, the Sheng Lianjie and Sheng Lianqiu families did the same thing; they could just go directly to Shencheng.
The Sheng family is only hosting a banquet and not a wedding, so they don't plan to make a big fuss. They'll just invite their closest relatives and friends to come and join in the fun.
It wasn't convenient to hold a banquet at the forest farm, so Sheng Xiping booked a table at the VIP building of the Songlin Hotel.
On the morning of the 17th day of the twelfth lunar month, Sheng Xikang and his family of three, Sheng Xitai, Wu Yucheng and Sheng Yunfei, along with Wu Yucheng's elder brother and sister-in-law, arrived at Songjiang River.
In the afternoon, Sheng Yunfang and Jiang Yanbin, Sheng Xi'an and his family of three, Zhou Mingyuan and his wife, Zhou Qingyue and his family, and Chen Ruiqing and his family all arrived.
Chen Feng, who is now a junior in college, has grown taller and stronger since he came back, perhaps because of the change in environment.
Chen Yue, a senior in high school, started wearing glasses because she stayed up late studying.
The children have all grown up, but the Sheng family's affection remains unchanged; they are still as close as ever.
The little ones in each household were at their most mischievous, running from the east room to the west room, and then back from the west room to the east room, doing all sorts of naughty things.
The city kids were ecstatic to see a dog, and they made Mao Mao and Qiu Qiu so nervous that they hid in their doghouse and wouldn't come out.
At the Sheng family's house, Zhang Shuzhen and Zhou Qinglan had started preparing the meal long ago, with all sorts of delicacies laid out on the table.
Everyone gathered together, eating, drinking, chatting and laughing, creating a lively atmosphere.
