"Dad, are you really telling me what's on your mind? If there's something wrong, let's talk it out and figure out a solution."
"You can't keep it all bottled up inside, it'll only make you sick." Sheng Xiping was still a little worried and asked cautiously.
Zhou Mingyuan laughed heartily upon hearing this, "Xiping, don't you know what kind of person your father is? It's alright, I'm very easygoing."
So what if I get transferred? I've been promoted to deputy director level. Doesn't that sound great to people?
"When I retire, my benefits will be much higher, so why would I get angry or upset?"
Zhou Mingyuan was very open-minded. Anyway, he only had two or three years left before retirement, so what difference did it make where he was?
"Let me tell you, it won't be easy to work at the Forestry Bureau in the future. Don't be fooled by how well the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau is doing now; it's only temporary."
No one can predict the future. For me, taking this opportunity to retire is a good thing, to avoid future complaints.
Seeing that his father-in-law didn't seem aggrieved, Sheng Xiping breathed a sigh of relief and felt at ease.
"Yes, Dad, you're right to think that way."
What's wrong with the Forestry Bureau? It's all state property, not yours alone. Why bother worrying about it and getting all that trouble?
"Dad, when you retire, come back to my factory, okay? I'll hire you as general manager, and you can take the helm for me."
Sheng Xiping said this on purpose to tease Zhou Mingyuan.
"You're kidding me. I've worked my whole life and finally got to retire. You think I'd help you grind grain again? Dream on."
I'll go to the forest farm then, find your dad and Brother Liu, and the three of us can fish, play chess, and have a few drinks when we're free. Life couldn't be better.
Zhou Mingyuan wasn't going to fall for it and quickly waved his hand and shook his head.
The father-in-law and son-in-law laughed heartily, and all their troubles vanished with their laughter.
The Sheng Xiping family spent most of the day at the Zhou family's house, helping to tidy up their things.
Zhou Mingyuan and his wife had already made their plans. They would stay in the provincial capital for two or three years, and then return after Zhou Mingyuan retired.
Therefore, they didn't plan to deal with the house, and they didn't need to move any of the furniture or appliances. They only took some luggage and clothes with them.
“When you have time, come over and take a look at this house, clean it up, and light a fire on the kang (heated brick bed) every two days.”
"Your dad and I will have to come back for holidays and festivals." Wang Chunxiu said to Zhou Qinglan while packing her things.
