Upon hearing this, Zheng Xianyong quickly waved his hand. It was already this late, and we hadn't made any preparations beforehand. If we asked all these old folks to stay for dinner, wouldn't that be putting them in a difficult position?
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law, don't bother with all that work. It's getting late, we need to go home and cook."
"Whenever you've set a date for a family gathering, just let us know, and we'll all come help out."
Everyone realized that it was indeed getting late, and they couldn't just focus on being happy and ignore their stomachs.
So everyone said goodbye and left, and Sheng Liancheng hurriedly sent Sheng Xiping and the others out to see them off.
Everyone else had left, but Zheng Xianyong stayed behind. "Xikang, I don't know if you heard what the loudspeaker said earlier."
Five days later, you need to go to the Education Department of the Bureau to pick up the forms for the physical examination. This is a big deal, you absolutely can't delay it, understand?
Zheng Xianyong was unaware that Sheng Xiping and his brother had gone to Songjianghe. He came over specifically after finishing his work at the factory to give Sheng Xikang some more instructions.
"There's something else, Brother Sheng, Xikang, I'd like to tell you in advance."
These next few days, make sure Xikang goes up the mountain to work. Make sure he behaves well, understand?
Zheng Xianyong lowered his voice and spoke to the Sheng family elders.
"You all know what the situation is like at our venue right now. It's a critical time, so don't go looking for trouble."
"At least we managed to get Xikang into university; we can't let anyone hold us back at this crucial moment."
Everyone in the room understood what Zheng Xianyong meant, which was why Sheng Xiping was in such a hurry to come back.
The Sheng family finally had a child who got into Peking University, so we mustn't let some trivial matters ruin their future.
Of course, if Feng Baosheng really dares to show off, the Sheng family will definitely not let him get away with it.
But if things really escalate to that point, it's like tearing off all pretenses, and things will be difficult to handle afterwards.
“Okay, Uncle Zheng, we’ve got this in mind. We definitely won’t cause any trouble.” Sheng Xiping nodded in agreement.
"Yes, I knew it. Xiping is the most reliable person. Well then, I have to go home now. Come visit me sometime."
Zheng Xianyong had come for this very reason. Since he had given all the necessary instructions, there was no need for him to stay any longer, so he got up to leave.
"Uncle, don't go! Just eat here tonight, and you can have a couple of drinks with my dad." Seeing that Zheng Xianyong was about to leave, the Sheng family quickly tried to persuade him to stay.
"No, no, you're all quite busy. Your aunt has already cooked dinner at home, and she's just waiting for me to come back and eat." Zheng Xianyong waved his hand and stepped out of the house.
Sheng Xiping followed and escorted him to the front gate.
Zheng Xianyong turned around and said, "Xiping, all the young people in our team listen to you."
You are a steady and reliable young man with a bright future. Remember, no matter what happens, don't rush or panic. Stay calm and don't lose your composure.
Let those flies buzz all they want, just ignore them. They'll all freeze to death when winter comes, won't they?
Zheng Xianyong gave Sheng Xiping a meaningful look and said in a low voice.
"Okay, Uncle Zheng, don't worry, I'll definitely keep everyone in line. I'll make sure there's no trouble."
Sheng Xiping immediately understood and nodded in agreement.
Zheng Xianyong nodded with great satisfaction, then turned and left. Sheng Xiping watched Zheng Xianyong walk away before smiling and turning back into the house.
After a lively afternoon, things are finally a bit quieter now.
The Sheng family was very happy. Zhang Shuzhen and her family had chosen four dishes and cooked a pot of rice. In the evening, the family chatted and laughed and had a lively meal.
Early on the morning of the 16th, the weather cleared up outside, and the forest farm's loudspeaker announced that the work team would be going up the mountain today to continue road repairs.
So Zhang Shuzhen and a few others got up to cook, and the others also got up to tidy up.
After breakfast, Sheng Xiping and Sheng Xikang put on their work clothes and rubber boots, and took the commuter bus up the mountain to work.
With only a few days left before the start of the new school term, Principal Wang, considering that the first-year high school students had not had a summer vacation and were studying very hard, decided to give them a few days off to rest before officially starting school on August 20th.
It just so happens that Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xi'an will also be returning to school soon, and they won't have time to teach the students anymore. They need to pack their things at home and prepare to go back to school.
On August 18th, Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xi'an, along with the reluctant Chen Feng and Chen Yue siblings, packed their bags and prepared to depart.
After spending these days together, Sheng Xinhua, who had just become familiar with Zhou Qinglan, cried hysterically and insisted on following her mother as she was about to leave with her bag.
Sheng Xinyu, who is about to turn one year old, has learned to call his mother these days. He cries his heart out while leaning on the windowsill, calling for his mother.
Zhou Qinglan was so upset that she really didn't want to leave. In the end, she was chased out of the house by Zhang Shuzhen while crying.
Zhang Shuzhen and her two daughters spent a great deal of effort to finally calm the two children down and stop them from crying.
"Next time, take them all out to play beforehand. Don't just stay home and watch your sister-in-law walk around. The older she gets, the harder she is to coax."
The two children cried so hard that they eventually fell asleep sobbing. Zhang Shuzhen patted her grandson while talking to Sheng Yunfang and the others.
On August 19th, Sheng Xikang asked the work team for leave and, together with his classmate Zhang Lingling, took advantage of the forest farm's trip to inspect the tractor to travel to Songjianghe.
On the morning of August 20th, the two went to the Education Department of the Bureau to pick up their physical examination forms.
At this point, they finally saw the college entrance examination results sent from the province at the Education Department.
Sheng Xikang scored a total of 479 points in five subjects. Except for Chinese and Politics, where he lost points, he got full marks in Mathematics, Physics and Chemistry.
When He Chang met Sheng Xikang, he showered him with praise.
