Especially at the Tiger Park, the children were clamoring to see the tigers.
There was no other way, so after discussing it, everyone decided to go back to the forest farm for the Lunar New Year. Since there wasn't enough room for everyone to stay at the night, they would go to their neighbors' houses to find lodging.
We'll go back and stay for a few days to have our fill of fun, then return to Songjianghe for the Spring Festival.
So, Sheng Xiping transferred several vehicles from Huayang Factory, and on the 23rd day of the twelfth lunar month, everyone drove back to the forest farm.
Such a large group of people went back, with several cars making a lot of noise. If you didn't know better, you might think that higher-ups had come to inspect the work.
After returning to the forest farm, the children perked up and started playing happily.
The children went to the tiger park to visit Hua Hua and her four cubs, as well as Huan Huan and Le Le's children. They played with the tiger cubs all day and then took a helicopter ride.
The Tiger Forest Park now has four helicopters, which are also responsible for patrolling and fire prevention work in the reserve every summer and autumn.
Sheng Xi'an, Sheng Xikang, and Sheng Xitai also got their hands on something special. They insisted on going to the river on the other side of Diaoyutai to break ice holes and fish, and they also went to the warm springs upstream to catch frogs that had overwintered.
These guys are way more extravagant than the younger generation like Sheng Xinhua.
Sheng Xiping also got interested, so he simply bought two sheep, and also got a deer and two roe deer from the farm. He killed and cleaned them, and then used them at home for barbecue and hot pot.
It was a good opportunity to invite Liu Changde's family, Chen Weiguo, Wang Jianshe, and others over for a lively gathering.
Young people with good teeth and digestion eat barbecue, while older people with poor teeth and digestion eat hot pot.
After having their fill of fun at the forest farm, on the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the group drove back to Songjianghe.
On New Year's Eve, the Sheng family courtyard was brightly decorated and exceptionally lively.
Red lanterns were hung on both sides of the gate, and couplets and door gods were pasted on the door. Two large snowmen were piled up in the yard.
Sheng Xinhua also went to the nearby forest and cut down two fish-scale pine trees, which he then planted in the snowdrift.
Then, colorful lights were strung up on the snowman, the trees, and the sky above the yard.
"Look at what you guys have done! What do you call this? It's neither here nor there, neither here nor there."
Sheng Xiping shook his head upon seeing this. This guy, is he trying to combine Chinese and Western styles? The whole yard is a gaudy mess.
"Look at you, let the kids do whatever they want. I think it's fine, festive. It's Chinese New Year, it should be lively and joyous."
of."
Sheng Liancheng was also in the courtyard. Hearing his eldest son say this, he glared at his son and spoke to his grandsons.
Sheng Xiping was glared at by his father, but he shrugged indifferently and went into the house with a smile.
Sheng Liancheng waved to the children, indicating that they could play however they wanted and decorate the yard however they wanted.
After the children finished tidying up the yard, Sheng Liancheng called Sheng Xiping out so they could take some pictures of everyone.
Since his father had given the order, Sheng Xiping dared not disobey. So, the whole family took a group photo in their own courtyard.
We started having our reunion dinner around 3 p.m., and then made dumplings around 7 p.m.
Around eleven o'clock, Sheng Liancheng led his children and grandchildren outside to distribute paper money and set off firecrackers, while Zhang Shuzhen led her daughter-in-law to cook dumplings inside.
This year, all my buddies are home, and Wu Yucheng and Jiang Yanbin are also spending the New Year here. How could we skimp on firecrackers and fireworks? Especially fireworks, we bought a whole bunch of them, big and small.
The crowd set off fireworks outside for over half an hour, with all sorts of colorful fireworks exploding in the sky – it was a truly beautiful sight.
"Honey, don't rush to eat dumplings. Hurry up and bring the wives out to watch the fireworks," Sheng Liancheng shouted in the yard.
The dumplings were cooked and ready to serve. Zhang Shuzhen, along with her daughters-in-law and daughters, came out to watch the excitement.
Brilliant fireworks burst overhead, illuminating the sky and bringing smiles of happiness and satisfaction to everyone's faces.
After the fireworks were all over, everyone reluctantly went inside to eat dumplings.
Every now and then, you could hear the children shouting that they had found a coin or a date. The adults would greet them with smiles and blessings, wishing the children a safe and healthy new year.
I had just finished eating dumplings when the clock struck twelve.
Sheng Xiping took the lead in wishing Sheng Liancheng and his wife a Happy New Year, saying, "Dad, Mom, Happy New Year. Grandpa, Grandma, Happy New Year."
With children and grandchildren all around, and the whole family enjoying happiness, nothing could make Sheng Liancheng and his wife happier than this moment.
The elderly couple were so happy they couldn't stop smiling, and the wrinkles on their faces seemed to have deepened. "Good, good, all good, Happy New Year!"
During the New Year's greetings, not only the children received red envelopes, but Lin Xiangxue, as the new bride, also received a large red envelope.
Lin Xiangxue initially refused to accept the red envelope, but after hearing that it was a custom in the Sheng family that new brides and sons-in-law received red envelopes in their first year, she finally accepted it.
The lively and joyous New Year celebrations have quickly come to an end, and it's time to part ways again.
Before the Lunar New Year, Sheng Xitai was getting married, so Sheng Xi'an and the others took a long vacation. They couldn't delay after the New Year and had to go back as soon as possible.
So on the second day of the Lunar New Year, each family took their children, bid farewell to their parents, brothers, and sisters-in-law, and embarked on their journey home.
The children hadn't had enough fun and were crying and whining, not wanting to leave, especially Wu Peng and Wu Hao, who just refused to leave, which infuriated Sheng Yunfei.
In previous years, they would have returned after the New Year and it wouldn't have mattered if they left a few days later, since the company was their own and they could do whatever they wanted.
But this year I'm spending the New Year at my parents' home, so no matter what, I have to go back to the capital as soon as possible to spend time with my in-laws and not let them find fault with me.
So, Sheng Yunfei and Wu Yucheng each dragged one child away, managing to pull them off the trip.
Sheng Liancheng and his wife stood at the gate, watching their children get into their cars and leave. Their hearts ached as if they were being cut by a knife.
