Chapter 544 Returning Home in Glory
The Sheng Xiping family received a warm welcome from Sheng Xiyun and others in Yantai, with all their needs for food, lodging, and transportation being perfectly arranged.
Sheng Xincheng and his brother drove Sheng Xiping's family around Yantai for two days. Sheng Xinhua and his family also got along very well with their nephews and nieces.
Two days later, the Sheng family went to Qingdao to visit Sheng Xiping's third uncle, Zhang Shouguo.
I'll spend two days in Qingdao, then take a bus to Jinan to visit Sheng Xiping's aunt, Zhang Shuxiu, and Sheng Xiping's uncle, Sheng Lianqing.
Sheng Liancheng and his wife hadn't been back for several years. When the brothers and sisters met, they were naturally very affectionate and received a warm welcome.
Sheng Lianqing works in the city and is quite busy, so he specially arranged a car and driver to take Sheng Xiping and the others to various places to play.
Sheng Xiping and his wife took their children to places like Daming Lake, Baotu Spring, and Thousand Buddha Mountain, and the children had a great time.
Sheng Xiping's camera also took countless rolls of film.
The kids had been playing in Jinan for three days and still weren't done, even though they'd been out for ten days and still hadn't reached their hometown.
Sheng Liancheng was getting a little anxious, so the group boarded a train to Heze.
"Second brother, sister-in-law, we've finally got you back. Xiping, niece-in-law, come in quickly."
The surrounding towns and even neighboring counties are extremely envious.
"Look, isn't it great now?" Sheng Xi explained with a smile.
These must be my grandchildren, right? Look at them, each one with a dragon's head and tiger's eyes, they're really something!"
All the furniture in the house has been replaced with new ones, and appliances such as a large color TV, tape recorder, and refrigerator have also been purchased.
"Grandpa, we're family, why are you saying all this? This is all I can do to help, and it's up to my older brother and his family to be capable."
I'm relieved that my older brother's family is doing well and he doesn't have to worry about anything anymore. But it's heartbreaking that my parents weren't fortunate enough to live to see this good life.
Looking at all this, Sheng Liancheng felt both gratified and somewhat heartbroken.
By the time Sheng Xiping and his group returned to their hometown, Dazhaozhuang, it was already the end of July.
"Hey, what are you doing? My uncle, aunt, and Xiping are rarely back. We should be happy for them. Why are you crying?" Sheng Xizheng and Sheng Xihong quickly tried to comfort them.
In addition to the previous cat trees, cat beds, and scratching posts, there are now all kinds of pet clothing, jewelry, toys, food, and more.
Most of the original low and dark mud-brick houses have been replaced by brick and tile houses, with red tiles and gray walls, which are quite beautiful.
Now, the export of these pet products alone can bring in several million or even tens of millions of foreign exchange every year, which is no small amount.
The moment his feet touched the ground, Sheng Lianyi led all his sons and grandsons out in a swarm.
In the past, poverty was due to natural limitations. Now that there are ways to make money, if you're still poor, it's simply because you're lazy.
It just so happens that Sheng Lianyi's family has many children, so this time they all renovated their houses together. In two phases, they built more than ten rooms, neat and tidy brick and tile houses, which made me feel very comfortable.
Otherwise, no matter how capable I am, it would all be for nothing, wouldn't it? Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping laughed.
The car stopped in front of the Sheng family's house, and Sheng Liancheng and his wife led their children and grandchildren out of the car.
It can be said that the current Shenglianyi family is completely different from what it was before.
"It's all thanks to my brother. In the past few years, everyone in our village has made money and their lives are getting better and better. With more money in their pockets, they have gradually rebuilt their houses."
When Sheng Liancheng saw his brother shed tears, he felt sad and also shed tears.
"Brother, what you're saying is true, but it also depends on the hard work and diligence of everyone in our village."
If it were one of those unreliable people, even if I bought them a car, they would never go out to work, so what's the point?
Throughout the year, not counting farming, just making these pet supplies can earn a family several thousand yuan.
With Sheng Lianqiu in Heze, it would inevitably take another two days. Then, Sheng Xizheng and his team received the news and drove over to pick them up.
Sheng Lianyi grabbed Sheng Liancheng's hand, and as he spoke, tears streamed down his face.
Sheng Lianyi looked at Sheng Xiping sitting next to him and said with great gratitude.
"Yes, isn't this all thanks to my nephew? Without Xiping's help, how could Xizheng and the others have started the transportation company?"
That company now has dozens of trucks, running transport services all over the place, and they make a good profit every year. Your sister-in-law and I have also benefited from it, which is why we can live such a good life now.”
And it's not just for cats, it's for dogs too.
In recent years, Shilou Township and Zhongxing Town have joined forces to open a pet supplies company, taking the development of pet supplies to its extreme.
"What if I run into a lazy, greedy, and cunning person again who just sells the car and uses the money to eat, drink, and have fun? What can I do then?" Sheng Xiping laughed on the other end of the line.
"Oh my, I haven't been back for the past few years, and my hometown has changed a lot." As soon as he entered the village, Sheng Xiping noticed that his hometown had changed quite a bit.
"I didn't expect that my home would change so much in just three years. It's so nice."
The interior floor was also made of cement, and the windowsills and stove were tiled. Everything was kept clean and tidy, and the large glass windows were bright and clear, a hundred times better than before.
He was happy to help his hometown because he saw that the people there were honest and hardworking, and his cousins were all diligent and reliable.
Sheng Liancheng had five brothers, but only Sheng Lianyi remained in Dazhao Village. Therefore, after the old master and old lady of the Sheng family passed away, their house was left to Sheng Lianyi.
"Brother and sister-in-law, seeing you both doing well makes me feel at ease."
