Chapter 574 The Grand Finale
Sheng Xiping arranged a private room to entertain Chief Zhao and his entourage, with Wu Bingzhong and his son Wu Yucheng accompanying them.
Chief Zhao insisted on meeting Sheng Xiping's parents, wife, and children, so Sheng Xiping called over Sheng Liancheng and his wife, as well as Zhou Qinglan and their children.
"Brother and sister-in-law, you two are amazing! Six children, each one outstanding."
Especially the eldest son, well done, he's made a great contribution to our country. This is all thanks to the excellent upbringing and education you two have provided.”
Commander Zhao shook Sheng Liancheng's hand and said very kindly.
"Oh, sir, you flatter me. My wife and I are not very educated, how would we know how to teach children?"
It's thanks to the organization's excellent training and our favorable policies.
Sheng Liancheng had just heard from his son about the identity of the person in front of him, and he was so excited that he didn't know what to say.
After saying a few words to Sheng Liancheng, Chief Zhao turned to look at Zhou Qinglan and her son.
Especially the four children, each of them stood up straight, looking exceptionally energetic and particularly endearing.
Sheng Xitai and Lin Xiangxue had a peaceful wedding night.
Originally, high school students were supposed to have holiday classes starting on January 6th and continuing until the 14th.
On the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month, the banquet hall of the VIP building of Songlin Hotel was packed with guests.
The younger people went to the new house to keep the newlyweds company, while the older people went back to Sheng Xiping's place to chat and laugh.
The Sheng Yunfang and Sheng Yunfei families also returned to Songjianghe. They had discussed it with their husbands and in-laws and decided to stay in Songjianghe for the Spring Festival this year.
Sheng Xiping has been away from home for two years. His brothers and sisters are all busy with their own things and rarely come back. This year, it's a rare occasion for everyone to get together, so we must have a lively New Year together.
Upon hearing this, Sheng Xinhua was so happy he almost jumped for joy. "Thank you, Grandpa. I will study hard and do my best."
On the afternoon of the 12th, Sheng Xiping and his group returned to Songjianghe.
Chen Ruiqing brought his wife and daughter from the provincial capital, and Wang Jianshe, Chen Weiguo, Gao Haining, Pan Fusheng and others also returned from various places.
After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, the bride's family members left first, followed by the other guests who had come to offer their congratulations.
The New Year will be just around the corner after the thank-you banquet.
Chief Zhao admired and valued Sheng Xiping, so he found the Sheng family's children particularly pleasing to the eye.
Sheng Liancheng, with his four sons, chatted with departing guests at the hotel entrance and thanked them.
County leaders, people with good relationships with the Forestry Bureau, and people from the ginseng farm all came to offer their congratulations.
"Hello, Grandpa." The four children stepped forward and greeted him respectfully.
The wedding was perfect and everything went smoothly.
After everyone arrived home, they immediately began arranging the banquet.
The six siblings of the Sheng family have finally all settled down, and Sheng Liancheng and Zhang Shuzhen, as a couple, have also completed their mission.
Sheng Liancheng had also informed his relatives and friends well in advance that a wedding banquet for his youngest son would be held at the Songlin Hotel on the 22nd day of the twelfth lunar month.
After all the guests had left, the hotel bill was settled, and everyone's belongings were packed up before the group left the hotel.
When Sheng Xiping and his brothers saw this, they thought, "How can we let them mess around like this?" So they invited these people out for a meal and drinks, and after they finished drinking, they went to a well-known karaoke bar in the capital.
Zhou Qinglan and Sheng Xinhua both took leave. After they returned home, there were only two days left of the holiday classes before the New Year, so they decided not to go to school and would wait until the seventh day of the Lunar New Year.
Many of Sheng Xitai's classmates and colleagues came to the wedding, and they all shouted that they wanted to make a ruckus in the bridal chamber.
On January 11th, everyone boarded the train home.
Now, the group of boys were having a blast, singing until midnight, and completely forgot about the wedding night pranks.
After everyone had talked for a while, the banquet began. Zhou Qinglan led the children out to sit down, while Sheng Xiping stayed behind to keep Chief Zhao and the others company.
What does it mean to love someone so much that you love everything about them? This is it.
These days, karaoke bars are very expensive; they're not something ordinary people can afford.
"Oh, look at these kids, they're all so chubby and energetic, they're really something else."
The wedding banquet was of a high standard, and all the dishes were very well prepared, which greatly satisfied the guests.
Friends and family gathered together to offer their sincerest blessings to the newlyweds.
Chief Zhao beckoned to the children and called them all over.
Before leaving, Sheng Xiping booked a banquet at Songlin Hotel. Although it was near the end of the year and many people were getting married, there weren't many places where wedding banquets could be held in hotels these days, so booking a table was easy.
Sheng Xitai and Lin Xiangxue, wearing their wedding toasting attire, stood on the stage with beaming smiles, receiving blessings from everyone and thanking their relatives and friends.
On January 10th, Sheng Xitai and Lin Xiangxue brought many gifts for their return visit to the Lin family, where they were warmly received by the Lin family's relatives.
Chief Zhao chuckled upon hearing this, patting Sheng Xinhua on the shoulder.
So Chief Zhao very kindly asked the children how old they were, what grade they were in, how well they were doing in school, what their special talents were, and what their future aspirations were, etc.
With so many people at home, the three and a half rooms in the forest farm are definitely not enough to accommodate everyone, but Sheng Xikang and the others all want to go back to the forest farm to take a look.
The children answered very politely, and Sheng Xinhua said that his biggest dream was to join the army, carry a gun, fight, and defend his country.
"Good lad, you have ambition. Study hard and it would be best if you could get into a military academy. If you can't get into a military academy, I'll make the decision and recruit you into the army."
Those from the forest farm who were close to the Sheng family, as well as the Sheng family's relatives and friends, Zhou Qingyang, Zhou Qingyue, and even Chen Jie and Han Manxue's family members, all came.
