As soon as the deposit arrives in the forest farm's public account, the truck will be loaded immediately.
Hou Yashuang didn't dare to delay and made arrangements immediately. Within two days, the money arrived in the account, and the forest farm arranged for a vehicle to transport timber to the Songjianghe timber yard.
Sheng Xiping went down with the truck to arrange the delivery. He was busy for four or five days before he finally managed to ship all ten railcars of timber that Hou Yashuang and his group had requested.
The remaining 20% of the payment was given to Sheng Xiping in cash.
At the same time, Director Zhang also slipped Sheng Xiping another bag.
"Oh, Comrade Sheng, thank you so much this time. I never expected you to be so capable."
Ten freight cars of timber were shipped out easily, and the price they offered us was very fair and reasonable. Our leader said we must thank Comrade Sheng.
Here are two cartons of cigarettes and two bottles of liquor. It's just a small token of my appreciation; Comrade Sheng, please accept them.
Director Zhang winked at Sheng Xiping, and everyone understood what he meant.
"Thank you very much for your hospitality, Director Zhang. We welcome you to visit us often. Whenever you come here, please let me know so we can treat you well."
Sheng Xiping didn't stand on ceremony and accepted the bag handed to him.
After seeing Director Zhang and his group off, Sheng Xiping carried two large bags and first went to find Zhao Guangning, then took a car back to the forest farm, and then went to see Zheng Xianyong before finally going home.
After working for half a month without exerting much effort, just talking and running errands, I earned more than ten thousand yuan, which is much faster than making money by hunting in the mountains.
Of course, such deals don't happen often, and Sheng Xiping didn't have the time or inclination to make a big deal out of them.
The current environment is not very suitable for doing business. He is just an intermediary, helping to connect people and earning a small profit.
He only helped Hou Yashuang because he had some connection with her; if it were someone whose background he didn't know, he wouldn't care how much money they offered him.
A few days later, Hou Yashuang sent another telegram to Sheng Xiping.
The factory was very satisfied with the batch of timber that was shipped back, not only because of its good quality, but also because of its relatively low price.
The factory director was so pleased that he promoted Director Zhang to deputy factory director and made Hou Yashuang the director of the purchasing department.
Sheng Xiping was quite satisfied with the result.
So he wrote back to Hou Yashuang, telling him that he could contact him anytime if he needed timber again.
After finishing with the timber business, the harvest season in Niu Mao Guang started just in time. Everyone in the farm was given a break to go into the mountains and generate income.
Sheng Xiping and Sheng Liancheng naturally followed suit, heading into the mountains early every morning and returning home only after dark.
Zhang Shuzhen stays at home taking care of her two grandsons, and also has to dry and rub the cow hair cloth. Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei cook and do laundry after school.
The weather has been bad this year. The temperature was low in the spring, followed by drought. When it finally rained, all the muddy grass suddenly appeared.
Niu Maoguangji, who used to be able to work for more than 20 days in a normal year, could only manage about 10 days this year before he couldn't continue.
On June 10th, the harvest season ended. Taking advantage of the free time, Sheng Liancheng and his son hoeed the crops in the field and tidied up.
In early spring, Sheng Liancheng led several children to collect a number of small plots of wasteland around the forest farm, which totaled about two or three acres.
The fields were planted with crops such as corn, soybeans, mung beans, potatoes, and broomcorn sorghum.
The black soil in Northeast China is incredibly fertile. I've heard people say that if you grab a handful of soil, it'll ooze oil, and even sticking a pair of chopsticks in it will make them grow.
That's a bit of an exaggeration, but the soil is indeed fertile. The newly reclaimed land is growing well, and the grass in the field is also thriving.
The father and son wielded hoes and worked in the field all afternoon, exhausted and covered in sweat.
"Dad, it's getting late, let's go home first. My mom is taking care of two kids by herself and has to cook lunch, she's too busy."
Sheng Xiping raised his hand to look at his watch. It was almost eleven o'clock. The sun was quite strong at this time, and it felt scorching hot.
The father and son entered the field around six in the morning and have been busy until this time, without even having a sip of water.
Sheng Liancheng hadn't done farm work for many years, and this afternoon he was exhausted with a sore back and aching waist.
"There are only two rows left. Let's clear them over and then go home. We'll clear another plot this afternoon."
Sheng Liancheng glanced to the side and said.
Alright, since Dad has spoken, Sheng Xiping couldn't say anything else. So the two of them went back to work, finished hoeing the land, and then carried their hoes home.
As soon as I entered the house, I saw Zhang Shuzhen pacing back and forth in the yard, looking quite anxious.
"Mom, what's wrong?" Sheng Xiping asked curiously.
"Oh, you two are finally back. Um, Hua Hua just left."
It acted very strangely this morning. When Xinhua and Xinyu wanted to play with it, it bared its teeth to scare the children, and paced back and forth on the ground, making whimpering noises.
Later, I don't know what happened, but it ran away from our house and headed straight for the back mountain.
As soon as Zhang Shuzhen saw her husband and son return, she felt reassured and quickly told them about Hua Hua's unusual behavior.
"Hua Hua never leaves the house during the day, but I don't know what's wrong with her today. Is she about to give birth?"
After much thought, Zhang Shuzhen came to only one conclusion.
"Mom, don't worry. I guess Huahua is about to give birth, that's why she's so anxious."
It was afraid that it would lose control during the birth and scare us, so it left.
Don't worry, it should come back in a few days. If not, I'll go into the mountains to look for it this afternoon.
Sheng Xiping calculated the days and realized that Hua Hua was probably about to give birth.
This was Hua Hua's first time being a mother, and she had little experience. She was probably in too much pain, so she became irritable. She was afraid of scaring her family, so she left.
