Hou Yashuang found Sheng Xiping's address and wrote him a letter asking if he could get some timber.
Sheng Xiping was very familiar with this line of work; he had done it in his past life. So after receiving the letter, Sheng Xiping went to find Zheng Xianyong.
Each forestry bureau and forest farm has unplanned timber, some more, some less. This timber is not subject to unified allocation and is freely disposed of locally.
Of course, obtaining an unplanned quota is extremely difficult; without very strong connections, it's simply impossible.
"We do have some unplanned items. How many does your friend want?"
Zheng Xianyong pondered for a moment, but instead of saying exactly how much, he asked Sheng Xiping's friend how much he planned to take.
"They said at least five wagons, and if they had any, ten or eight wouldn't be too many."
One railcar can hold about fifty cubic meters, so five railcars would hold 250 cubic meters.
Zheng Xianyong was silent for a while, then said, "Logically speaking, we've had this relationship for so many years, if you just ask, your uncle will definitely do it for you."
If this were a piece of wood from all directions, I'd give it to you without hesitation, money doesn't matter.
However, the quantity he wants is a bit large. When we transport it down from our field, it has to go through the timber yard, where there are many people and it's hard to say what will happen.
What I mean is, you'd better find someone in the bureau to allocate the quota to our site first; that way, the procedures will be easier.
Zheng Xianyong is a cautious and careful person. He is currently the acting secretary of the forest farm, and at this critical moment, he doesn't want to make any major mistakes.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping knew there was potential; he was well-connected within the bureau.
Zhao Guangning went to the timber management office as director before the new year. You don't need to ask anyone else for this matter; just ask Zhao Guangning and it will be done.
"Okay, with Uncle's words, I know what to do. I'll go to Songjiang River to find someone later."
"Uncle, I'll head home now." When dealing with a sensible person, there's no need to spell things out.
Upon hearing Zheng Xianyong's words, Sheng Xiping understood what to do and got up to take his leave.
"Oh dear, it's already noon. Your aunt is cooking. Why don't you stay and have some? It'll be a good opportunity for us to chat," Zheng Xianyong said, standing up to persuade them to stay.
"No, Uncle, my mom is still waiting at home. Look at how messy I am. I'll take a shower and tidy myself up after lunch."
Sheng Xiping waved his hand, left the Zheng family's house, and returned to his own home.
When they got home, Sheng Yunfang, Sheng Yunfei, and Sheng Xitai had already come home from school. Sheng Xitai was in the west room looking at the flowers, while the two sisters helped with the meal.
"Big brother, Mom said that Hua Hua is pregnant and will give birth to tiger cubs in two months. Is that true?"
When Sheng Xitai learned that Hua Hua was pregnant, he was overjoyed. As soon as Sheng Xiping entered the door, he hurriedly asked.
"Hmm, haven't you noticed that Hua Hua's belly is bigger than before? She must be carrying a baby."
"You have to be careful from now on, and never rub Huahua's belly." Sheng Xiping nodded and gave his younger brother a few more instructions.
"Wow, that's great! Does that mean we can raise tiger cubs again?" Sheng Xitai was so happy he almost jumped up.
Hua Hua is good too, but she's a big tiger after all. How can she compare to a cute and adorable little tiger cub?
Children would prefer to have a little tiger to play with.
"With Huahua here, you don't need to take care of her. You should focus on your studies." Sheng Xiping deliberately poured cold water on his enthusiasm.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xitai's face immediately fell. "Brother, you're just trying to discourage me."
Just then, Zhang Shuzhen from the outer room called out that it was time to eat. Sheng Xiping didn't care about his younger brother's aggrieved expression. He picked up his two children and quickly took them to wash their hands and eat.
After lunch and a short rest, Sheng Liancheng and Sheng Xiping took their changes of clothes and headed straight for the farm's bathhouse.
First, I went to the barbershop to get a buzz cut, then I went to the bathhouse for a soak and a scrub, cleaning myself from head to toe before going home.
The next morning, Sheng Xiping took a truck used by the forestry farm to transport timber to Songjianghe.
When you get to Songjianghe, go visit your father-in-law first, chat with him for a while, and then go directly to find Zhao Guangning.
"Oh, your winter operations have ended? I heard you're now in production scheduling?"
"Wow, that's impressive. You've only been employed for a few years, and you've already become a dispatcher?" Zhao Guangning said with a smile as soon as he saw Sheng Xiping.
"I also heard that in the two months after the Lunar New Year, your farm not only caught up with the output, but also produced more than last year."
Your farm's Party Secretary submitted a report to higher authorities, and you were nominated again as an advanced individual and a model worker.
The bureau is still discussing whether to promote your assembly line production method.
"Hey, what production scheduling? I'm just a handyman. They call me wherever there's a problem."
"It's mainly because of the good leadership of our Party Secretary that we were able to achieve this output, with everyone working together as one." Sheng Xiping scratched his head and chuckled.
"Tch, you're even trying to be modest with me." Zhao Guangning shook his head in disapproval.
"Be confident, we have the ability."
"You're too modest. People might not praise you; they might even say you're pretentious and hard to get along with." Zhao Guangning said, laughing.
"Hey bro, I came to see you today, I have something to talk to you about." Sheng Xiping said in a low voice after making sure no one was in the office.
"Are you free at noon? Shall we go out for a drink?"
It's not a good idea to talk about this at work. After all, walls have ears, and what if someone overhears and makes things worse?
"Okay, let's have some then."
Zhao Guangning glanced at his watch; it wasn't long before he got off work, so he got up and followed Sheng Xiping out.
The two left the bureau building and went to the Forestry Bureau restaurant. They found a corner seat, ordered two dishes and a bottle of wine, and sat there drinking and chatting.
