That evening, everyone sat in the east room, chatting with Madam Sheng Han. As they talked, tears welled up in their eyes again.
Three days after the funeral, people go to the grave to pay respects. There are many customs in my hometown, and people have to visit the grave every seven days.
Sheng Xikang still had to go to work and couldn't take too long a leave of absence, so after three days of visiting the grave, he decided to head back.
Sheng Xiping had already wasted nearly a month and could not afford to delay any longer. After completing the burial ceremony, he bid farewell to his family.
"Dad, Mom, the third brother and I can't stay here any longer. We both have things to do, so we'll leave first."
If you two are in a hurry, you can go back after the first seven days of mourning. If you're not in a hurry, you can wait until after the fifth seven days before leaving. I'll call home and give them some instructions.
After coming down from the mountain, Sheng Xiping and his brother spoke to their parents.
"Okay, you guys go do whatever you need to do. Your mom and I will stay for a few more days."
I just discussed it with your uncle and third uncle. There are five of us brothers, so we can't hold a memorial service for the 47th day after death.
So I was thinking that after we finished burning the Panax notoginseng, I would go home with your mother.
Having been away from home for a month, Sheng Liancheng was extremely anxious, but no matter how anxious he was, he had to get the things done.
Everyone else is easy to talk to. They live nearby, so they can just take leave to come back, visit the grave, and leave again.
Sheng Liancheng's family lives in the Northeast, so how could he keep making those trips? He had no choice but to stay here.
And so, the Sheng brothers bid farewell to their relatives, one heading south and the other north.
After traveling by car and changing vehicles for more than two days, Sheng Xiping finally arrived in Guangzhou.
I rested in Guangzhou for a day and went to see my sister, Sheng Yunfei. When the two siblings met, Sheng Yunfei couldn't help but cry.
After the old master of the Sheng family passed away, Sheng Xiping sent a telegram to Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei, but the two girls lived far away and couldn't make it in time.
Sheng Yunfei was also very sad that she couldn't see her grandfather one last time and cried for a long time.
Sheng Xiping comforted his sister and told her about their parents' situation to put her mind at ease.
The next day, Sheng Xiping took a car to Shenzhen.
Upon arriving in Shenzhen, Sheng Xiping immediately sensed something different. He couldn't quite put his finger on it, but it seemed more lively than before.
The air was thick with the smell of gunpowder, and the streets and alleys were filled with all sorts of advertising posters.
"Yu Cheng, what's been happening in Shenzhen lately? It seems like there are a lot more companies opening up here."
When Sheng Xiping returned to the company, he immediately asked Wu Yucheng as soon as he entered.
"Hey, bro, you're back? Did you finish taking care of things back home? Hey, why don't you take a few days off? Why are you rushing back to the company?"
Upon seeing Sheng Xiping, Wu Yucheng immediately stood up and went to make tea and pour water for him. Then the two sat down and chatted.
"Recently, many government departments from inland provinces have come to Shenzhen to open trading companies."
You haven't seen it, but nowadays, companies are opening every day on the streets of Shenzhen, and the sound of firecrackers is constant.
So many people come here to get loans, then put up signs and set up this company or that company. You didn't see it, it was incredibly lively.
Wu Yucheng sat down and explained the recent changes in Shenzhen to Sheng Xiping.
Sheng Xiping nodded upon hearing this. He roughly understood what was going on.
The main reason is that Shenzhen's preferential policies have attracted a large number of mainland departments and institutions.
These people come here to open companies and take advantage of preferential policies to resell and distribute goods. Basically, they are doing similar businesses to Sheng Xiping and his group.
Shenzhen has now become a major base for buying and selling goods from all over the country.
There's an old joke that goes like this: some Shanghai residents went to the streets of Shenzhen to buy a folding umbrella, only to find that it had actually been shipped from Shanghai to Hong Kong and then transferred back to Shenzhen.
People in Shanghai were very happy, saying they spent a few yuan less than if they had bought it in Shanghai.
The people of Shenzhen were happy, saying they had made a few dollars. The Gangcheng Department Store was also happy, saying they had made a few dollars as well.
Everyone benefited and made money, but the price of folding umbrellas actually decreased. So who lost money?
