"Don't even mention it. Didn't Dad submit an article to the editorial department of the Environmental Newspaper?"
The newspaper editors also believed that Dad's views were correct, the materials were credible, and the problems reflected were very serious, so they published the article on the front page.
Furthermore, a title was added: "Natural disasters are not the most terrible; man-made disasters are the most serious."
Because of this article, the provincial government and various forestry departments came to the newspaper to demand an explanation, causing quite a stir.
Zhou Mingyuan had originally given up on getting involved, but then he learned that the newspaper editor had almost been implicated because of his article.
Enraged, Zhou Mingyuan wrote an even more detailed report and sent it directly to the capital.
However, after sending out the materials, there was no news. Zhou Mingyuan was unwilling to give up, so he published an article in the National Forestry News.
Zhou Mingyuan had offended some people because of what happened before.
He has a very straightforward personality, and he dares to speak and act, yet he manages the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau so well, making it far more profitable than other places.
Especially with the Songshan Forest Farm mineral water project and the cooperation between Huayang Wood Products Factory and various forest farms, Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is now a hot commodity. Who wouldn't be tempted by it?
Therefore, this transfer was made.
"Damn it, who came up with this terrible idea?" Sheng Xiping couldn't help but curse after hearing his wife's words.
No one understands his father-in-law better than Sheng Xiping. Zhou Mingyuan's biggest wish is to stay on the front line of production and run the forestry bureau well.
I'm afraid my father-in-law will feel resentful about this sudden transfer to the provincial capital.
At this age, if you get angry and stressed, what if you develop some health problems from holding it in?
"Honey, let's go see Dad tomorrow." Sheng Xiping sighed helplessly. Every day, he manages to stir up all sorts of trouble.
As they were talking, the dumplings were almost finished. It was getting late, and Sheng Xiping and the others, who had just grabbed a quick bite in the car at noon, were all hungry.
So Zhang Shuzhen sent Sheng Liancheng to boil water and hurry up and cook the dumplings.
While they were cooking dumplings, Sheng Xiping led his two sons outside to set off a string of firecrackers.
Sheng Xinhua's hand injury had long since healed, and Wang Chunxiu even had someone specially prepare ointment for him to prevent scarring.
Even so, faint black marks remained on the scar.
Just as Sheng Xiping had guessed, the gunpowder residue had seeped into his flesh, and even though the doctor cleaned it very carefully, traces were still left.
Sheng Xinhua was saddened for a long time because of this.
Later, Wang Chunxiu and others comforted him, saying that Sheng Xinhua was young and would gradually recover after the summer heat subsided, which stopped Sheng Xinhua from worrying.
From then on, Sheng Xinhua indeed changed his ways, no longer tinkering with guns and cannons, but focusing on his studies.
In fifth grade, with the transition to junior high school not far off, the amount of homework is increasing, so it's naturally a good thing that Sheng Xinhua can focus on his studies.
Today we made dumplings with sauerkraut and pork filling, and everyone enjoyed them.
After dinner, the children turned on the TV to watch cartoons, while the adults gathered together to chat.
As they chatted, the topic of Sheng Yunfei's pregnancy came up, especially with Wu Yucheng.
Sheng Xiping then told everyone about how Wu Yucheng had been kicked out of Sheng Yunfei's house and had no choice but to go to Heihe.
"This fifth sister has been formidable since she was a child, keeping Xitai under her thumb. I didn't expect that she wouldn't change her nature even after getting married."
It's only because Yu Cheng gave in to her; otherwise, wouldn't the couple have started fighting? He was being kind to her, and she got angry?
After listening, Zhang Shuzhen couldn't help but mutter.
Zhang Shuzhen is old, but she still acts in the old way. She believes that once her daughter gets married, she belongs to another family and should live a good life with her husband. How can she kick her own husband out?
"I'll call Lao Wu tomorrow and talk to her about it."
"Mom, please don't make this call."
As for the fifth brother and Yu Cheng, it's purely a case of Zhou Yu beating Huang Gai—one is willing to hit, and the other is willing to be hit. It's their family's business, so let's not interfere.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping quickly stopped him.
Wu Yucheng dotes on Sheng Yunfei like the apple of his eye. It's just the two of them joking around, a kind of marital fun. But when outsiders get involved, it all changes.
Everyone chatted until after nine o'clock, then went to bed. The next morning, Sheng Xiping and his wife carried a lot of things to the Zhou family's house.
Zhou Mingyuan's transfer order had been issued long ago, and he would only report to the provincial capital after the New Year. So after handing over his work, Zhou Mingyuan took a vacation and stayed at home.
When Zhou Mingyuan and his wife saw Sheng Xiping and his family arrive, they were quite happy and quickly invited them to sit on the kang (a heated brick bed) and chat.
"Dad, is there anything we can help with around the house? Or should I try to pull some strings?"
After Sheng Xiping sat down, he looked around the house and saw that nothing seemed to have changed. It didn't look like he was about to move at all, so he asked...
"No, why bother looking for connections? There's no need," Zhou Mingyuan said with a smile, waving his hand.
"I'd love to be transferred to the provincial level."
Qingyue's wife will have to go back to work after the New Year, and there will be no one to look after the child. Your mother and I will go to the provincial capital together. I'll go to work, and your mother can take care of the child. Isn't that good enough?
Zhou Qingyue's wife, Han Manxue, gave birth to a big, healthy baby boy in mid-July. Wang Chunxiu went to the provincial capital to take care of him for a while.
Han Manxue is a teacher. She was on maternity leave when the fall semester started. She went back to work after her maternity leave, and then it was winter break again.
However, once school starts after the New Year, Han Manxue will have to go back to work, and there will be no one to look after the child.
Wang Chunxiu had said long ago that she was going to the provincial capital to take care of her grandson, but she was worried about Zhou Mingyuan.
Now that Zhou Mingyuan is being transferred to the provincial capital, he'll probably be able to stay there until retirement.
Perfect timing! The elderly couple can spend a few years taking care of their grandson, and once he starts kindergarten, Zhou Mingyuan will be able to retire.
