Chapter 422: Our Own "Saihanba"

Suning resolved Tang Qi's issue decisively and quickly, which surprised Yu Zhenglai and Qu He, but also made them admire Suning's decisiveness. Qin Xuemei was also very surprised, feeling that Suning seemed to have expected it.

"Feng Cheng, have you known that Tang Qi is in Hong Kong for a long time?" Qin Xuemei couldn't help but ask curiously on the way back.

"Well, I know she has an aunt in Hong Kong, and she went there to stay with her relatives." Su Ning explained to Qin Xuemei as they were heading home. "Xuemei, the reason I resigned from the Saihanba Forest Farm was because I was worried someone would uncover Tang Qi's affairs."

"Feng Cheng, maybe you're worrying too much?"

"Xuemei, no one can predict what will happen in the future." Su Ning couldn't explain it clearly, but he tried to summarize it as a precaution. "We must make plans early. Giving up everything and secluding ourselves in Lijia Village will save us a lot of trouble."

After hearing what Su Ning said, Qin Xuemei didn't say anything else. Anyway, the letter had been burned. Even if someone dug up Tang Qi's affairs in the future, there would be no strong evidence.

After six or seven years, Qin Xuemei finally gave birth to a boy for Suning. Suning named the child Feng Sen, finally fulfilling the dream of Suning and Qin Xuemei to become parents.

The situation has become delicate since last year. Qin Xuemei is no longer bothered to resign from the forest farm. Instead, she thinks it is safer and less worrying to hide in Lijia Village and plant trees.

"Jingle Bell"

A rapid phone ring rang out from the Fire Watchtower in Lijia Village. Su Ning stood up and picked up the phone. Then, Yu Zhenglai's voice came from the other end of the line, "Feng Cheng, come to the field office now."

"Okay! I'll be there right away."

Suning asked Zhao Tianshan to replace him in the fire watchtower, and then rode to the headquarters of Saihanba Forest Farm. Now Suning and Zhao Tianshan take turns to be on duty in the fire watchtower to prevent fire, and they don’t feel too bored.

After galloping all the way to the field office, Su Ning went straight to Yu Zhenglai's office. He looked at Yu Zhenglai and asked with a smile, "Director Yu, is there something you want me to do?"

"Feng Cheng, Qin Xuemei's father, Qin Qiufeng, has come to our Saihanba Forest Farm."

"Oh? Is he here to inspect the work at Saihanba Forest Farm?" Suning pretended to be confused.

"No! He was sent to the Saihanba Forest Farm for labor reform." Yu Zhenglai shook his head with a wry smile.

"Director Yu, what are your plans?"

"Feng Cheng, I don't know how to arrange Tan Qiufeng now, so I asked you to come over and ask for your opinion."

"Director Yu, let's arrange for Qin Qiufeng to be the fire lookout at the fire tower in Lijia Village!" Su Ning had been mentally prepared for this, so he smiled and explained his plan. "Although Zhao Tianshan and I can take care of the situation near Lijia Village, there are no employees from the Saihanba Forest Farm, so it's a good opportunity to arrange for Qin Qiufeng to go there."

"Haha, that's a great idea!" Yu Zhenglai quickly understood what Su Ning meant. "Feng Cheng, you're really something."

"Please ask the forestry farm to send us a car. We will return to Lijia Village now."

"Well, okay! I'll drive you there myself!"

"Alright! Then I won't say thank you."

Yu Zhenglai brought Su Ning to Qin Qiufeng, who was sweeping the floor, and then called out in front of the colleagues at the forest farm who were coming and going, "Qin Qiufeng!"

"To!"

"The forest farm has decided to assign you as a fire lookout. Follow this Saihanba villager to the fire watchtower!"

"Yes! Director Yu."

Qin Qiufeng hurried back to the dormitory to pack his luggage, then got on the car provided by Yu Zheng and followed Suning to the Fire Watchtower in Lijia Village. Suning looked at his father-in-law who seemed a little uneasy, then introduced himself with a smile.

"Hello! I'm Feng Cheng."

"Feng Cheng? I've heard of you. You are the greatest contributor to the Saihanba Forest Farm." Qin Qiufeng's eyes lit up and he looked at Su Ning.

"Haha, not that exaggerated!" Su Ning smiled, then revealed another identity, "Also, my wife's name is Qin Xuemei."

"Ah?" Qin Qiufeng looked at Su Ning blankly.

The headquarters of Saihanba Forest Farm is not far from Lijia Village. Compared with the vast Saihanba, this distance is completely insignificant. Soon, Qin Qiufeng stood at the fire watchtower in Lijia Village.

Qin Xuemei stared blankly at her father, confused as to why he suddenly appeared here. Su Ning also noticed Qin Xuemei's stunned expression, and then jokingly explained, "Xuemei, this is the fire lookout sent by the Saihanba Forest Farm. He will be in charge of the fire tower from now on."

"what?"

Life in Saihanba is plain and happy. When Qin Qiufeng arrived at Lijia Village, he quickly cleared up the misunderstanding with Qin Xuemei, and then the family happily enjoyed the happiness of family.

In 1973, Qin Qiufeng was re-employed and returned to the capital after five years, once again leading the national forestry work.

At this time, Suning and Qin Xuemei already had five children, three boys and two girls, which made their lives lively. There is nothing happier than watching their children grow up little by little.

In 1983, Suning suddenly received a call from Beijing. A Hong Kong businessman named Su An wanted to meet him. When he heard the familiar yet unfamiliar name Su An, Suning found that he had almost forgotten him.

"Xuemei, I have something to do in the capital. You can take care of the house by yourself."

"Ah? Are you going to the capital for something?"

"Well, an old friend from a long time ago is back now, I'm going to go meet him."

"Huh? Could it be Tang Qi?"

"Haha, no!" Seeing that the cold-hearted Qin Xuemei would also get jealous one day, Su Ning couldn't help but want to laugh.

Suning first came to Chengde, then took a train from Chengde to Beijing, and then went straight to the hotel where Zhang Fulin was staying. Here, Suning met Zhang Fulin, whom he had not seen for more than 20 years.

Looking at the pot-bellied Zhang Fulin, he looked like a successful man. It was no wonder that he was doing very well in Hong Kong. Suning also felt that life was unpredictable.

"Feng Cheng, we haven't seen each other for twenty-three years, right?" Zhang Fulin looked at Suning, who had hardly changed in front of him, as if he had returned to Saihanba, where the sky was covered with yellow sand.

"Haha, yes!" Suning was also very emotional, "My eldest son is already eighteen years old, time flies."

"Feng Cheng, I've always wanted to come back to see you, but I didn't dare to come back until today."

"Zhang Fulin, you are Su An now, you don't need to worry about the past." Su Ning shook his head disapprovingly. "Well, after I went to Hong Kong, I used the 200,000 US dollars you gave me as the starting capital and registered a real estate company.

You are the majority shareholder of this company, owning 50% of the shares. Now this real estate company has grown into a real estate enterprise with a market value of tens of billions." Zhang Fulin then briefly introduced his situation in Hong Kong.

“Well, it’s developing very well.”

"Feng Cheng, I told you that you own half of the company, and you own 50% of the real estate company." Zhang Fulin introduced the situation in Hong Kong and invited Suning to go there. "So you should bring your family and come with me to Hong Kong! The conditions there are much better than in the mainland."

"Haha, I will not leave Saihanba. You can transfer all my shares to the names of my children!" Suning was already prepared and took out the information of his five children, and then handed it directly to Zhang Fulin.

"Ah? Okay! I'll take care of this."

"Well, then I'd like to ask you to arrange for my five children to study in Hong Kong. I believe you can do it easily."

"Sure! It's very simple." Zhang Fulin agreed with a smile, and then said with some emotion, "Feng Cheng, I really want to go to Saihanba now."

"Well, I suggest you go on a road trip in an off-road vehicle, and avoid Lijia Village and the forestry headquarters. I'm worried that Qin Xuemei will get excited when she sees you."

"Qin Xuemei?" Zhang Fulin seemed a little confused.

"Yes! She is my wife now. If she misunderstands that you and I conspired to kill Wu Yansheng, then I really can't explain it."

"Huh? Forget it! I'm still not going to Saihanba."

Sending his children to Hong Kong was a plan Suning had made long ago. Although he would never leave Saihanba in his lifetime, his children still needed to go out and see the world.

In recent years, Suning has always paid great attention to teaching children Cantonese and English, just to arrange for them to go to Hong Kong in the 1980s. Even if Zhang Fulin no longer remembers the kindness he showed her, it is still easy for Suning to arrange for a few children.

Su Ning also thought about telling Qin Xuemei about Zhang Fulin, but suddenly felt that some things were difficult to explain clearly, so he simply stopped mentioning the matter. This was the only thing he could hide from his wife Qin Xuemei.

Now his life is very happy, and Suning feels very satisfied. He has no intention of going to Hong Kong to make a living. Instead, it is nice to live peacefully with Qin Xuemei in Saihanba for the rest of his life.

After returning to Saihanba, Suning talked to Qin Xuemei about arranging for the children to go to Hong Kong. "Xuemei, I plan to arrange for five children to study in Hong Kong."

"Feng Cheng, have you had this plan for a long time? Otherwise you wouldn't teach your children to learn Cantonese and English." Qin Xuemei had already noticed Su Ning's thoughts.

"Yes! I will dedicate my whole life to Saihanba, but my children must go out and see the world, so that I can feel that I am a qualified father."

"However, they are unfamiliar with Hong Kong and I'm worried they won't be able to adapt."

"Haha, children have their own lives. We as parents should learn to let go." Suning tried his best to comfort his wife patiently. "Just like when we first came to Saihanba, they also have their own 'Saihanba'."

"Feng Cheng, you're going to Beijing this time to arrange for the children to go to Hong Kong, right?"

"Almost! It's an old friend from many years ago. I helped him back then, and now that he's become prosperous, he came back to repay the favor." Su Ning explained briefly, "It just so happens that I suggested sending the five children to Hong Kong. It can be easily resolved."

"Feng Cheng, is this person really not that Tang Qi?"

"Really not! I swear to God, Tang Qi and I have no contact anymore." Seeing Qin Xuemei's face full of doubt, Su Ning couldn't help but laugh and cry.

Fortunately, I have always been very firm in my stance on women's issues, and Qin Xuemei also trusts me very much in this regard. Otherwise, Qin Xuemei really would not believe Suning's guarantee.

Qin Xuemei agreed to Suning's arrangement for the children, so Suning brought the five children to Beijing and introduced them to Zhang Fulin, thus handing the children over to Zhang Fulin.

"Su An, I'll leave Feng Sen and the other five to you."

"Feng Cheng, don't worry!" Zhang Fulin patted his chest and assured, then tried to invite Suning to Hong Kong again, "I will treat them as my own children. Are you really not going to Hong Kong with us?"

"No! Qin Xuemei and I will stay in the mainland." Su Ning smiled and shook his head, refusing again. He then looked at his eldest son Feng Sen and said, "Feng Sen, when you get to Hong Kong, remember to listen to Uncle Su An, study hard, and then come back to serve the motherland."

"Yes! Dad! We understand!" Eighteen-year-old Feng Sen looked at his father with firm eyes.

"Well, you are their eldest brother. You must take good care of your younger siblings. You must go home or to school before seven o'clock and you cannot stay outside at night."

"Yes! Dad."

Suning sent the five children to the Beijing airport. Watching them fly to Hong Kong with Zhang Fulin, Suning suddenly felt reluctant to let them go. After all, this was the first time the children were separated from him.

Now, for their future, I have to cruelly arrange them in Hong Kong. No matter how reluctant Qin Xuemei and I are, this step must be taken.

When he returned to the Saihanba Forest Farm again, Suning saw that Qin Xuemei was indeed in a low mood. Fortunately, Feng Sen and others called back from Hong Kong at this time. Hearing the cheerful voices of the children, Qin Xuemei felt much better.

Life in Saihanba is still dull. Suning and Qin Xuemei have become accustomed to this monotonous life. Saihanba Forest Farm has added many batches of employees, and countless familiar faces have left. Only Suning, Qin Xuemei, Zhao Tianshan and Zhang Manling are still staying in Saihanba. They are no longer accustomed to the hustle and bustle of the outside world, but have become accustomed to this monotonous life.

"Jingle Bell"

"Hello! This is Lijia Village." Suning picked up the phone on the table and answered it.

"Teacher Feng, there's a lady who calls herself Tang Qi who wants to see you."

"Tang Qi?"

"Yes! She is at the headquarters now."

"Well, I'll go see her now."

After Su Ning hung up the phone, he went to find Zhao Tianshan, "Old Zhao, please help me keep an eye on the Fire Watchtower for a while. Xuemei and I will go to the forest farm headquarters."

"Oh! Go ahead."

Su Ning led out a horse, and then dragged the puzzled Qin Xuemei to rush to the field office together, "Feng Cheng, is there anything we need to go to the field office now?"

"Tang Qi is back."

"what?"
