Chapter 284 Hongshi Forestry Bureau
There is no train to Huadian, so you have to take a bus.
Sheng Xiping took a small train to Songjianghe in the morning, went straight to the bus station to buy a ticket, and took the bus to Fusong at 1pm.
We stayed in Fusong for one night and bought a ticket from Fusong via Jingyu to Huadian at 7 o'clock the next day.
There are not many provincial roads in these days. Most of them are rural and county roads that have been repaired and rebuilt based on the old roads. The road is bumpy and bumpy over mountains and ridges, and the bus does not go very fast.
Especially on the second day, I passed by Jingyu Narhong from Fusong, entered Huadian, passed by Hongshi Forest Farm, and came to Hongshilizi Commune.
This journey took a lot of effort, and we finally arrived at the place after eleven o'clock.
When Hong Shilizi got out of the car, he felt as if he was stepping on cotton. It was purely caused by the bumps and shakes in the car.
Sheng Xiping got out of the car with his bag on his back, and under the bright sun, asked passers-by for the address of the Hongshi Forestry Bureau, and then walked almost ten miles from Hongshilizi Commune to the Hongshi Forestry Bureau station.
Hongshi Forestry Bureau is located in the Linjiang Brigade of Hongshilizi Commune, adjacent to Linjiangtun to the west and Songhua River to the north.
Preparations began in 1973, and it was officially established in 1974. It covers an area of 126,000 square meters and has nearly 10,000 employees.
Hongshi Forestry Bureau has jurisdiction over 13 forest farms, seven forestry work stations, one farm, one nursery, one engineering team, one design team, nine schools, eight health clinics, and two lumber yards.
I got off the car at about eleven o'clock and walked nearly ten miles. It was almost a little while before Sheng Xiping arrived at the Hongshi Forestry Bureau station.
Even though he had a quick meal in the car, Sheng Xiping was so hungry that his chest pressed against his back.
So I asked someone about the location of the Forestry Bureau hotel, and went there to get some food to fill my stomach.
After eating, drinking, and resting enough, Sheng Xiping came out of the hotel and bought some snacks, cans, and the like.
Although the Sheng family had a good relationship with the Su family in the past, after all, there had been no news or communication for two years.
When Sheng Xiping came to receive the gift, he couldn't be empty-handed, he had to bring something meaningful.
Sheng Xiping came out of the store with two net bags in his hands and asked passers-by for the specific location of Su Mingchang's home.
Su Mingchang is the deputy director of the Hongshi Forestry Bureau and is quite famous locally. Everyone knows where he lives.
When I heard that Sheng Xiping came from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau and was a good friend of Su Jingsheng, and came to attend the wedding, they were very enthusiastic to give him directions.
Following the instructions, Sheng Xiping successfully found Su Mingchang's house, a three-room courtyard in a bungalow opposite the bureau building.
The Hongshi Forestry Bureau was established late, so the buildings here are all new and the courtyards are very neat.
Tomorrow is the wedding day for the youngest son of the Su family, Su Jingsheng. How can anyone go to a hotel to host a banquet these days? All done at home.
So at this moment, the Su family's yard is very lively. A shed has been set up in the east to set up a stove, and the master chef is leading people to fry and fry in preparation for tomorrow's banquet.
The men and women who help are all busy in the yard. Those who clean up vegetables, steam buns, and borrow pots, pans, and other household items are all busy.
The courtyard of the Su family was busy with people coming and going. Everyone was doing their own things, and no one noticed Sheng Xiping coming in.
"Brother, may I ask if this is Su Mingchang's home?"
No one paid attention to him, and Sheng Xiping couldn't just enter the house rashly, so he found someone at random and asked them about it.
When the other party saw Sheng Xiping carrying something in his hands and carrying a bag on his back, with a dusty appearance, he could tell that he was someone from afar and should be a relative of the Su family.
"Ah, yes, yes, this is Director Su's home. Are you a relative of his?" the man asked politely.
"Well, I'm from the Songjiang River Forestry Bureau. I knew Jing Sheng was getting married, so I came here specially." Sheng Xiping smiled and nodded.
"Hey, it's so far away, come on, come with me."
When the other party heard that he was from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau, he was also shocked. He came all the way from the next county, so he must be a close relative or friend, otherwise who would bother with this?
While he was talking, the man led E Sheng Xiping into the house, shouting as he walked.
"Aunt Su, Jing Hong, Jing Sheng, people from the Songjianghe Forestry Bureau are here. They say they are here to celebrate the wedding." Su Jinghong is the eldest son of the Su family.
Su Mingchang is busy with work. Even if his son is getting married, he has no time to take care of it at home.
His wife and two sons are in charge of the business at home.
At this moment, Su Mingchang's daughter-in-law Liu Chunmei, Su Jinghong, and Su Jingsheng were in the room discussing the specific details of tomorrow's wedding.
When they heard that there were people coming from Songjianghe, the mother and son were also stunned.
Since they moved to the Hongshi Forestry Bureau, they have had little contact with people in their original unit. This time Su Jingsheng got married, and they didn't notify them. Who is here?
Su Jinghong and Su Jingsheng looked at each other and said, "Mom, please stay in the house. Let's go out and take a look."
As the two brothers said this, they walked out and met Sheng Xiping.
They are all friends since childhood. We haven't seen each other for only two years, so it's not like we can't recognize them.
So when the three of them met, the Su brothers immediately recognized who they were.
"Hey, Xiping? Lord, why are you here?
You see, our thoughts were too far away. Everyone was busy with work and couldn't be disturbed, so we didn't notify our old neighbors and friends. I didn't expect you to come. "
When Su Jingsheng saw Sheng Xiping, he was extremely happy. He hugged Sheng Xiping and patted him hard on the shoulder.
"Oh, I haven't seen you for two years, you are still the same, you haven't changed much.
How have the past two years been? Okay? How are my uncle Sheng, aunt, and your younger brothers and sisters doing? "
Su Jingsheng was quite excited to see his old friend and asked a lot of questions.
Sheng Xiping smiled and said, "It's good. My father and mother are both fine. There's nothing wrong at home.
I went to the province for a meeting a few days ago and met an educated youth from your bureau. I heard that you were getting married recently, so I came here to congratulate you. "
"Oh my God, you are so thoughtful. Come on, hurry up and get into the house. My parents often talk about the days in Maekawa.
Oops, this place has just been built and everything is busy. My dad was so busy that he hit the back of his head all day and really didn’t bother to contact those people in Maekawa. "
Su Jingsheng's words also have the meaning of explanation. As for whether this is the reason, only the Su family knows.
"Second brother, why don't you let Xiping come in to talk? How can we talk inside and outside the door? Come on, come in."
Over there, Su Jinghong also smiled and greeted Sheng Xiping into the room politely.
"Yes, yes, Xiping, let's go into the house to talk. My father is not at home, but is still at work. My mother is at home."
Su Jingsheng seemed to be more enthusiastic, and he quickly let Sheng Xiping into the room, and then shouted towards the east room.
"Mom, Mom, who do you think is here?"
Liu Chunmei was in the room, she stretched her head and took a look outside, and happened to see her two sons coming in accompanied by someone.
After looking at it carefully, I was stunned.
"Hey, isn't this the eldest son of the Shuzhen family? How did you get here? You have to come all the way."
"Auntie, I haven't seen you in two years, and you still look the same." Sheng Xiping met Liu Chunmei and greeted her with a smile.
"I went to the provincial capital a while ago and met an educated youth from Sandaogou Forest Farm of your Forestry Bureau. We had a good chat.
I found out from him that Jing Sheng was getting married.
Jingsheng and I are so good, no matter how far away he is from me, I have to come, isn't this just asking for him? "
Sandaogou Forest Farm is named Sandaogou Forest Farm because it is located in the middle of Sandaogou.
The site was built in 1960 and was originally owned by the County Forestry Bureau.
In 1974, the Hongshi Forestry Bureau was established, and most of the county forestry bureaus were assigned to the Hongshi Forestry Bureau and directly under the jurisdiction of the province.
The educated youth Sheng Xiping met in the province was originally from the provincial capital, but had gone to Sandaogou to become an educated youth a few years ago.
That man had a good relationship with the leaders of the bureau. When the provincial educated youth congress was held, he was allowed to go and go home to visit relatives.
Sheng Xiping learned a lot about the Hongshi Forestry Bureau from this person.
"Auntie, I came here in a hurry and couldn't prepare anything. These things are for Uncle Su and Auntie."
Sheng Xiping put his net bag on the table.
I haven’t contacted him for two years and I don’t know what he thinks. I can’t just go to Zhao Yongsheng’s place and bring something special.
Although these cans and snacks are not affordable, they look good.
"Oh, look, we are very happy that you came all the way, what else do you bring?
My child, sit down quickly. I haven’t seen you in two years. I miss your mother.
I'm just busy and far away, so I don't have time to go back and see you. "Liu Chunmei took Sheng Xiping's hand and asked him to sit down.
"Your father and mother are fine? Where is your old kid? Still so naughty? How are you now? Have you found a partner?"
Liu Chunmei looked at Sheng Xiping as if she were her own child, and what she cared about the most was Sheng Xiping's personal problems.
"Auntie, my father and mother are both very good.
The old pimple is getting bigger now, he is better than before, he is not so naughty, and he can study well.
I got married in the spring this year, and my wife is already pregnant. She will give birth around the time of the solar calendar in winter. "
Liu Chunmei is an elder. Since the elder asked, Sheng Xiping must answer honestly.
"Really? Oh my god, you are so good at it. You move very quickly. You got married earlier than our family Jing Sheng. We are going to have a baby soon."
When Liu Chunmei heard this, she was particularly happy and patted Sheng Xiping on the shoulder.
"Is your mother always happy? She has been looking forward to you marrying a wife and starting a family. This time, your mother has fulfilled her wish and is looking forward to having a grandson."
Sheng Xiping's arrival was beyond the Su family's expectations, and he was warmly welcomed and entertained by the Su family.
But Su Jingsheng is getting married tomorrow and has a lot of things at home, so it is impossible to chat with Sheng Xiping all the time.
Sheng Xiping naturally understood and gave Su Jingsheng the congratulatory gift, a set of JDZ fine porcelain tea sets, and then helped the Su family with their work inside and outside.
In the evening, Su Mingchang came back and was very happy to see Sheng Xiping. During dinner, the three Su family members drank some wine with Sheng Xiping.
"Uncle, I'm here this time, and I have something I want to ask you for help with."
When he was halfway through drinking, Sheng Xiping held a glass of wine to toast Su Mingchang and said something by the way.
"Oh, Xiping, we have been friends for so many years, we are not outsiders.
If you have any questions, just tell us. If we can help, we will never refuse. "
Su Mingchang's drinking capacity was average, he was half drunk at this time, and his voice was much higher when he spoke.
"Uncle, what's going on is that I have a friend who asked me to help find out about a person named Chen Ruiqing.
It is said that this person used to be in the provincial foreign trade department, but later something happened and he was sent to Huadian, but it is not clear where exactly.
His family members were all very concerned about him, so I happened to be here this time, so I thought of asking him a question.
If you have any connections, please help me find out. "Sheng Xiping came to congratulate her with gifts, but mainly because of Chen Ruiqing.
Although Sheng Xiping knew where Chen Ruiqing was, he couldn't go looking for someone on his own. That would be too convincing.
Chen Ruiqing is not Shao Minzhi, so she is not easy to fool.
I have to go through someone to help find out, so that I can go to see Chen Ruiqing smoothly, and the rest of the matter will be easier to handle.
Jiapigou Gold Mine is within the Hongshi Forestry Bureau. According to the educated youth, it seems to be very close to a forest farm.
Although the two units are not a unified system, they still have some contact with each other and can always learn something.
As long as there is someone to build a bridge in the middle, Sheng Xiping can go to meet Chen Ruiqing.
"Chen Ruiqing? The one from the province? Oh, brother, you have something to do with him? Do you know him?"
Sure enough, when he heard Chen Ruiqing's name, Su Jingsheng asked with his eyes widened.
“I don’t know him, but a friend asked me to help him find out, saying that his family hasn’t heard about him for several years, and they have to know whether this person is dead or alive.
Brother Jingsheng, do you know this person? "When Sheng Xiping heard this, he was secretly happy. It seemed like he had the right skills.
"I know, he used to stay at Huangnihe Forest Farm for a while, and he went to work during the logging last winter.
I happen to be the production scheduler at Huangnihe Forest Farm, and I am quite familiar with him.
Just after the New Year this year, he was transferred to the Jiapigou Gold Mine again. It is said that he just started working in the mine, and later screened and refined it in the mine.
I know this man, and I have quite a deep impression on him. He wears glasses and is polite. He looks like a cultured person at first glance, and he is not very capable. "
Su Jingsheng had a straightforward personality, and besides, it wasn't a big secret that couldn't be told, so he told Sheng Xiping everything he knew.
"Oh, it would be great if this is really the person my friend asked me to find." Sheng Xiping showed a hint of excitement at the right time.
"Uncle, Brother Jingsheng, do you know the person at the gold mine? Can we talk to him?
I want to see that person. If it's really the one I'm looking for, I can at least have an explanation with my friends. Sheng Xiping asked tentatively.
From what Zhe and his son said, they must be able to talk to the gold mine, but I don't know if they are willing to help.
After all, Chen Ruiqing has a special status. What if the Su family and his son have scruples and refuse to help?
Su Mingchang glanced at Sheng Xiping and said thoughtfully, "Xiping, this matter is not easy to handle.
I also know the person you are talking about. His status is too special. It is probably not easy for ordinary people to meet him. "
Although Su Mingchang drank a little too much, he was not confused. Some things were still taboo at the moment. Even he did not dare to interfere randomly.
"Let's do this. The secretary of Huangnihe Forestry Farm can come over for a drink tomorrow. I'll help you make connections then. You can ask him.
The Jiapigou gold mine is only about ten miles away from the forestry farm. They all have contacts, so they should be able to talk. "
Su Mingchang thought for a while and decided that he could only use this method to inquire first.
