Chapter 570 Cooperation
Sheng Xiping went to great lengths to establish the Tiger Forest Park so that Hua Hua could have a place to retire.
Now that Hua Hua and its offspring can live peacefully in the Tiger Forest Park, Sheng Xiping is relieved.
So they took the children and played with Hua Hua and the others in the tiger park for half a day. They ate lunch in the canteen and didn't return to the forest farm until the afternoon.
Zhou Qinglan has to go to work, and the children have to go to school; neither can be delayed.
But Sheng Xiping had just returned and spent only two days with his parents before leaving again like a firecracker, because he was afraid his parents would be too scared.
So they discussed it with Zhou Qinglan, and she took the children back to Songjianghe first. Sheng Xiping stayed at home for a few days to keep his parents company and help Sheng Liancheng with the planting.
Anyway, there wasn't anything too important happening on the other side of the Songjiang River. He hadn't managed the furniture factory for over two years, and it was still doing quite well.
Sheng Xiping has no other thoughts now but to spend more time with his parents.
Zhou Qinglan had no objections. Her husband had been away for so long and was tired enough. It would be good for him to stay at the forest farm and rest for a while.
So, after dinner on the evening of the 3rd, Zhou Qinglan took the children back to Songjiang River.
"Boss, what's wrong? Is something happening at the factory again?"
Huayang Factory does not participate in the Spring Trade Fair; it goes to Guangzhou every autumn, so Sheng Xiping doesn't pay much attention to the Spring Trade Fair.
Sheng Xiping worked with his parents for five or six days and finally finished planting all the land.
Every year, Sheng Liancheng would plant some sticky corn to feed his children while they were still green. Any leftover corn would be harvested in the fall and then used to grind grain at the mill.
"Brother, I heard you led a team to Guangzhou for the Spring Trade Fair, right? I figured you wouldn't be back for a while, so I didn't go looking for you."
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, another call is coming. Anyway, you'd better hurry up and come to Songjiang River."
By the time the planting is finished, it will be around May 10th. At this time, wild vegetables in the mountains are growing like crazy, such as celery, eleutherococcus senticosus, and Cantonese vegetables. It's the perfect time for them.
"Dad, it's Brother Guo. He just came back from Guangzhou and said he needs to talk to me."
Early on the 4th, the father and son carried hoes and went to the fields to break corn fences and lay plastic sheeting.
I've been away from home for too long, so I just want to stay home and spend time with my parents.
Sheng Liancheng glanced at Sheng Xiping in the middle of the room and said.
That noon, the three of them had just arrived home with their baskets on their backs when the phone kept ringing. Sheng Xiping quickly went over to answer it.
"If you ask me, you're just wasting all that time. You should just bring my uncle and aunt to Songjianghe to enjoy their retirement."
Guo Shouye has been busy lately; several phones in his office have been ringing one after another, so he hurriedly hung up.
Guo Shouye and Sheng Xiping have been friends for many years and have a very good relationship, so they naturally speak without any reservations.
The coarse cornmeal makes a particularly delicious, sticky, and chewy porridge, and it doesn't clump together after two meals.
The Sheng family's five or six acres of land are scattered in several places. Some of the fields are inaccessible to the plow and have to be dug with a hoe.
"Brother, I called to tell you about this. This year, the beverage factory and the flooring factory together earned more than 20 million US dollars in foreign exchange."
Sheng Xiping laughed when he heard this, "Brother, I just helped the family plant the land, and I picked some vegetables this morning."
"Xiping, you're not being fair. Why didn't you come looking for us after you got back? You just went off to hide in the forest farm?" Guo Shouye complained on the phone.
"Otherwise, I would have gone back to Songjianghe long ago. When I was in the provincial capital, I was stopped by the provincial leaders, who insisted on keeping me for several days. They even held a celebration party and the like, and they almost got me drunk."
Look at my old man, he absolutely refused to come to Songjianghe at first, but what happened? We insisted on bringing him here, and he got used to it.”
Guo Shouye appeared helpless on the surface, but he was secretly overjoyed.
The plastic film also had to be raked clean, dried for a day or two, and then burned along with the fence and the waste plastic film.
Oh my, you didn't see it! Secretary Chang was so happy, he couldn't stop smiling.
"It's on!" Guo Shouye said excitedly on the other end of the phone.
With nothing else to do, Sheng Xiping went into the woods with his parents to pick some wild vegetables to improve their meals.
"If you're busy with work, come back home. Your mother and I are doing fine. You don't need to stay with us all the time. Just come back and visit when you have free time."
"Brother, how's it going this year? How's the transaction volume?"
"Really? Oh my, congratulations, brother! That's fantastic!" Sheng Xiping was also happy for Guo Shouye and sincerely congratulated him.
After cleaning the field, we hired a plow from the other side of the alkali field to plow the land, and then started planting and fertilizing.
Farming is tiring too, but it's not the same kind of tiredness he gets from going to sea.
Life at sea is mentally exhausting. You're constantly on edge, afraid that something might happen to the fleet or that there might be some risk. You can't eat or sleep well, and you're almost depressed.
Guo Shouye's parents used to work at the forest farm. Later, when Guo Shouye became wealthy, he renovated and expanded his house and brought his parents there to live with him in their old age.
To ensure early and high yields of corn and peanuts, it is necessary to cover them with plastic film to increase soil temperature.
Sheng Xiping was delighted upon hearing this and quickly offered an explanation.
"No, what are you doing at the forest farm? Are you lying in bed preparing to lay eggs or something?"
"Come on, let's hurry back to Songjianghe. I've arranged to meet with General Manager Xu from Dongfang Ginseng Industry Company. We need to get together and discuss how to expand our business."
When corn is harvested in the fall, the corn trellises are left in the ground. Before planting in the spring, the trellises have to be dug out.
Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen emptied the vegetables from their baskets onto the ground, each took a small stool, and sat down to sort and categorize them.
