"Or, why don't you send the two children here in the fall?"
We have a daycare center here. Sending them there early so they can interact with other children is a good idea.
It's conveniently located not far from your dad's workplace, so he can drop it off in the morning before work and pick it up in the afternoon.
I'm not as busy as I used to be; I only work a few night shifts a month, which is good for taking care of my two kids.
Wang Chunxiu really loves her two grandsons, but they live far away, so she can't take good care of them.
She was also thinking of her two children; there's bound to be a difference between living in a town and growing up in a remote mountain village.
"Mom, you and Dad are both very busy with work, so we won't trouble you."
Xinhua should be able to attend the training class next fall, as there are classes at the forest farm. Xinyu will be able to in about two years as well.
"Thank you, Mom, for thinking of us. These two kids are too naughty; let them roam freely in the forest." Upon hearing this, Sheng Xiping quickly thanked his mother-in-law for her kindness.
These days, very few maternal grandparents can take care of children; it's mostly the paternal grandparents who do.
If grandparents aren't around, and maternal grandmother can lend a hand occasionally, that's already very good.
The fact that Wang Chunxiu has this kind of heart shows that she is really proud of her son-in-law and two grandsons.
However, Sheng Xiping couldn't afford to take advantage of her. How could her own grandmother be so idle as to leave the child with the maternal grandmother? If word got out, wouldn't the Sheng family be laughed at to death?
Besides, given the way Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen's grandsons are, if the two children were brought to Songjianghe, they wouldn't see each other for months at a time, and the two old people would probably go crazy from missing them.
Given Sheng Liancheng's temper, if he weren't allowed to see his grandson, he'd probably curse his son to death.
Wang Chunxiu knew in her heart that the Sheng family would never send the child to Songjianghe. She just loved her grandson and wanted to spend more time with him.
Since Sheng Xiping was unwilling, she didn't force him, and the matter was dropped.
Just then, Zhou Mingyuan returned from work, so Wang Chunxiu and her daughter quickly prepared the meal.
"Xiping, this afternoon, the forest farm called and said that someone surnamed Hou has arrived and is staying at the Zhanqian Hotel. It seems he wants to see you."
The first thing Zhou Mingyuan said when he entered the room was to talk to Sheng Xiping about this matter.
Sheng Xiping was taken aback. A man surnamed Hou? Staying at the inn near the station? Could it be Hou Yashuang? What's he doing here at this hour? Is he here to buy timber again?
Didn't we get ten train cars of timber before? What, not enough?
"What's wrong? Is something bothering you?"
Seeing Sheng Xiping's uncertain expression, Zhou Mingyuan assumed he had encountered some trouble and quickly asked.
"Dad, it's okay. I'm just wondering if that guy surnamed Hou is someone I knew in Shanghai before."
He came by once in the spring and asked me to help him with some wood. I helped him prepare ten train cars; he shouldn't be coming again now.
When Hou Yashuang and Director Zhang left, Sheng Xiping said that if they still wanted to use wood, it would be best to contact them right after the New Year next year.
At that time, the various forest farms had not yet finished logging, so whatever type of forest they wanted could be arranged in advance.
So Sheng Xiping was quite puzzled as to why Hou Yashuang had come at this time.
"Oh, you're dealing in timber? You'd better be careful. There are too many old timber buyers from the south now, and they all want to get timber from our Northeast."
This industry is treacherous; one wrong move and you'll fall in. Be careful.
Zhou Mingyuan understood immediately and reminded Sheng Xiping.
"Yes, I know that, Dad, don't worry."
"Then wait a bit. After we finish eating, I'll go check the inn near the station. I don't know if it's the right one." Sheng Xiping nodded, not arguing with his father-in-law.
