Only those who pass the skills assessment will be assigned tasks; those who fail will not be used.
Sheng Xiwen and Sheng Xiwu also got busy, running around to find materials and contacting transportation. Even Sheng Xizheng, Sheng Xihong, and Sheng Xiyong, who had just returned home from military service, were dragged into helping.
There's no train service in my hometown, so transportation is inconvenient and it's difficult to transport goods out of the area.
Sheng Xiping also took this into consideration, so he used his connections to purchase six large trucks and form a transportation team.
Sheng Xiyong served as the team leader, leading Sheng Xizheng, Sheng Xihong, and Zhang Shoushan's two sons, who specialized in transportation.
"Second brother, your son Xiping, it's this one."
On the day the truck arrived in the village, Sheng Lianyi and several elders from his family praised Sheng Xiping extensively in front of Sheng Liancheng.
"This kid has a kind heart and doesn't forget his roots. Even though he's become wealthy, he still remembers to help people from his hometown. When we all make money, who doesn't think of his kindness?"
Faced with everyone's praise, Sheng Liancheng was naturally overjoyed.
My son is really capable; he actually came up with a great way to lead the whole village to prosperity.
When Sheng Liancheng was asked about things by his younger brother, he refused to answer, mainly because he was worried that these people from his hometown would get attached to Sheng Xiping, which would not only prevent him from doing things well but also cause trouble for Sheng Xiping.
Unexpectedly, under Sheng Xiping's planning, these people from his hometown became his helpers.
That's great. Everyone has something to do and can get rich through hard work. It's much better than receiving a little money from others.
Because of this incident, the grief that Sheng Liancheng and his wife felt over the loss of their loved one lessened considerably.
Sheng Liancheng also went to the village carpenters' workshop and watched the people work. When he got excited, he insisted on helping out.
Everyone in the village knows Sheng Liancheng. In the past, they would at most greet him politely, but now when they see Sheng Liancheng, they are incredibly enthusiastic.
There's an old saying that goes something like this: "For the first thirty years, observe how the father respects the son; for the next thirty years, observe how the son respects the father."
Previously, Sheng Liancheng was respected by everyone in the forest farm, but he didn't think much of it. After all, his son had been capable since he was a child, and he was used to it.
Now, back in his hometown, Sheng Liancheng is receiving such a warm welcome from his fellow villagers, giving him a true sense of joy in returning home in glory.
Not only did the villagers have great respect for Sheng Liancheng, but even leaders from other townships somehow found out about him and brought gifts to visit him.
In particular, the town secretary and village secretary of Zhongxing Town, where the Zhang family lived, specifically asked Zhang Shoushan to accompany them to meet Sheng Liancheng and his wife.
In order to build a closer relationship and get Sheng Liancheng and his wife to say some good things about them to their son, they hoped to get some orders to be allocated to their town.
Sheng Liancheng naturally couldn't agree immediately, so he said he would pass on the message to his son later.
As for whether it will work out or not, he couldn't guarantee it. Sheng Liancheng didn't understand the company's affairs, and he couldn't interfere casually.
"Uncle, thank you. As long as you say that, I'll be grateful no matter what my brother says later." The town secretary said gratefully, holding Sheng Liancheng's hand.
"Oh my, after living most of my life, I really feel this time that we're benefiting from our child's good fortune."
After all the guests had left, Sheng Liancheng sat on the kang (a heated brick bed) and spoke to Zhang Shuzhen.
"Yes, look at all these people in the village, they're all busy working and making money. Whether they're adults or children, they all have happy faces. Isn't that wonderful?"
I heard from my older brother that he, along with Xizheng, Xihong, and their wives, earned over three hundred yuan from the last order. Other families earned at least two hundred yuan.
I heard there are a lot of orders this time, enough to last until May or June next year. If that's the case, I can earn at least a thousand yuan. Isn't that great?
Hearing her husband's words, Zhang Shuzhen smiled too. "Seeing my family doing well makes me feel at ease."
I didn't come back often before, partly because my family wasn't doing well and we couldn't afford to spend that much money.
Another reason is that life is not good back in their hometown. When they come back, the cost of food and lodging is a burden for their relatives.
Now that the family has other jobs besides farming, no matter how much or how little they earn, it's still an income. When they come back and see them, they feel better.
Sheng Liancheng and his wife stayed in their hometown until Zhang Wangshi finished her 49-day memorial service, which happened to be around January 10th.
Sheng Xiping then called to discuss with his parents the possibility of them staying in the capital for a few days. Previously, in their rush to get there, Sheng Liancheng and the others had taken the train to Shenyang, and then a newly opened train from Shenyang directly to Yanzhou, bypassing the capital.
This time, I must go to the capital to see my son and daughter-in-law.
In particular, Wu Yuhua was already more than three months pregnant, so Zhang Shuzhen, as her mother-in-law, should at least go and take care of her for a few days, as a token of her goodwill.
Perfect timing! Sheng Xitai will be on vacation in a few days. Sheng Xiping should finish up his company business as soon as possible, and then we'll meet up in the capital.
After thinking it over, Sheng Liancheng and his wife decided that this would work. They had already been away for so long, so a few more days wouldn't make a difference. They decided to go to the capital to visit their daughter-in-law.
And so, on the morning of January 16th, the couple boarded Sheng Xiyong's truck to deliver goods to Yanzhou. After arriving in Yanzhou, they bought tickets, boarded the truck, and headed straight for the capital.
Sheng Xikang received the news in advance and went to pick up his parents from the station and bring them home.
Zhang Shuzhen was overjoyed to see her third daughter-in-law, and held her hand tightly, showing her all sorts of concern.
"Yuhua, look, you're pregnant, and I'm too far away to take care of you."
"Keep this money and buy yourself some good food to nourish your body. Your father and I will only be at ease if you and the child are both well." Zhang Shuzhen said, taking out five hundred yuan and stuffing it into Wu Yuhua's hand.
