In the future, if the opportunity arises, Sheng Xiping also plans to send them out to learn new technologies.
There was no other way; his younger brothers all had their own jobs and futures, and Sheng Xiping couldn't bear to let them give up their good jobs and come back.
Then we can only train others, since cousins are always better than outsiders.
Zheng Xianyong had a good relationship with the Sheng family, and Sheng Xiping had troubled them quite a bit over the years.
Zheng Hua was someone Sheng Xiping had watched grow up, so he had a pretty good impression of the boy.
Since we're short-staffed anyway, it doesn't matter who we use.
After all, Zheng Hua had grown up in a forest farm and had worked in a processing plant for a while, so he had some basic skills and was better than Sheng Xiwen and the others.
"Oh, that's great. I'll talk to him about it later and ask for his opinion."
Xiping, you're a loyal and kind child, you didn't embarrass your uncle. Here, let your uncle offer you a toast.
Upon hearing this, Zheng Xianyong was overjoyed and insisted on pulling Sheng Xiping aside to toast him.
"No, no, Uncle, how can I let you toast me? I should be the one toasting you. I've troubled you a lot these past few years."
Sheng Xiping quickly held his wine glass with both hands, clinked it with Zheng Xianyong's, and downed it in one gulp.
The group drank at the Sheng family's house until almost eight o'clock before dispersing.
Zheng Xianyong drank quite a bit and staggered home.
As soon as he entered the door, he pointed at his youngest son's nose and cursed him with foul language, "You little brat, I'm so angry about you every day, and I even have to swallow my pride and beg for help for you."
Upon seeing this, Zheng Xianyong's wife frowned and quickly went over to support her husband.
“You know, you go out drinking, fine, but why do you come home drunk and yell at your son?”
What did your second son do to deserve this tirade?
"If I don't yell at him, who should I yell at? He won't do his job properly, so what if he grows corn? Can't he do that kind of work?"
He has to make a big show of quitting, and I have to swallow my pride and beg for help. Why would I keep him around if I didn't yell at him?
Zheng Xianyong had drunk quite a bit that night. On his way back from the Sheng family, he was also caught in the wind. Now, with the effects of the alcohol kicking in, he was speaking loudly and his tongue was a little stiff.
"Dad, who did you beg? Was it my brother Xiping? Did he agree?"
Zheng Hua came over to help his father, and upon hearing this, his eyes widened immediately, and he asked excitedly.
"Yes, who else can I ask if not him? Xiping said he's going to build a pretty big timber processing plant in Songjianghe, and he asked if you'd like to go there?"
Zheng Xianyong took off his shoes, climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed), leaned against the wall next to the room, glanced at his youngest son, and snorted.
"Of course I'd be happy to, as long as I don't have to farm or grow corn, I'll do anything." Zheng Hua was delighted to hear this.
"Then pack your things tomorrow morning and go find him."
"The factory is about to break ground, it'll be quite busy. You can go over and lend a hand, learn a lot from them." Zheng Xianyong waved his hand and instructed his son.
"When you're out and about, not at home, stop acting like a spoiled brat and be a little more discerning."
Be quick with your mouth and feet, ask questions if you don't understand, and do whatever you're told without asking why. Got it?
"You little brat, I'm warning you, if you don't work hard, I'll break your legs when you get back." Zheng Xianyong pointed at his son and threatened him.
"I understand, Dad. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you."
Zheng Hua happily nodded in agreement and hurriedly went to the west room to pack his clothes, luggage, and other belongings.
Early on the 20th, Zheng Hua went to Songjiang River with Sheng Xiping.
As for his job, there are still many unemployed young people in the forest farm, so for the time being, someone else can use Zheng Hua's name to do the work.
On June 27th, the 28th day of the fifth lunar month, the main structure of Huayang Timber Processing Plant broke ground.
Sheng Xiping invited leaders from various departments in the county and Songjiang River area to attend the groundbreaking ceremony, making the event both grand and lively.
The overall design of the factory area was drawn up by the Linjian Design Institute. The construction of the factory area was contracted to the construction team of Linjian Third Division through Zhou Mingyuan's introduction.
The Linjian Third Construction Team has a total of seven or eight hundred employees in Songjianghe, with a full range of machinery. The Forestry Bureau's current scale owes much to the Linjian construction team.
With the factory under construction, Sheng Xiping will definitely need to be there to oversee the progress during the initial stages of construction, so he won't have time to return to the south for the time being.
Sheng Xiping rented two bungalows south of the train station and set them up as the construction project department of Huayang Timber Processing Plant.
The employees he brought from the south, along with Zheng Hua, Sheng Xiwen, Sheng Xiwu, and others, were all arranged to stay here.
With such a large project, how can just a few people be enough to oversee it?
Upon learning that Sheng Xiping was overwhelmed, Chen Weiren, Wang Jiancheng, Wang Jianye, Zhang Zhiqiang, Zhang Zhigang, Gao Haixiang, Pan Fuping, and others all came to help.
There isn't much work at the forest farm this season. They usually just do side jobs at home, so they might as well come over and help Sheng Xiping.
Once the snow falls and winter production begins, they'll be unable to work here, so they can go back to the forest farm.
A group of young men, only a few were married, most were single, and daily life was a problem. So Sheng Xiping hired two people specifically to do laundry and cook for them.
In early July, Zhou Mingyuan, director of the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, went to Congo as a member of the national forestry inspection team.
A feasibility study was conducted on the issue of clearing forests in the inundation area of the Imbrug hydroelectric power station.
This news caused a sensation throughout the entire forestry bureau. Whether they were employees or their families, everyone who mentioned it gave it a thumbs up.
"I think Dad might get another promotion," Sheng Xiping said casually to his wife when they got home that evening.
