Winter is coming, Wang Jinshan burned the earth heater again, the house is warm, Zhang Chunshan is also from the northeast, the earth heater is also a good hand, the two families get together from time to time, either playing poker, or playing chess, and the life is also comfortable.

"Lao Zhang, I heard that the new community is all collective heating, and we finally have to wait until the day when we don't have to burn the earth heating ourselves!" Wang Jinshan is not idle when he plays chess.

"Who's to say it isn't! Although we've been burning earth heaters for decades, I've really burned enough! Not to mention lifting coal upstairs and pouring coal ash downstairs, it's just a prick of dust from the stove, and I've had enough!"

"Lao Zhang, when we rented a house, I felt that this community was newly built for a few years, and there were elevators and radiators, at that time I still thought that this time I didn't need to burn earth heating, let's also enjoy collective heating, I didn't expect that the building we rented was still built, and the residents were reluctant to spend heating money, although the heating was installed, but the heating company was not connected, it was a miscalculation!" Wang Jinshan was annoyed.

"We just fell for the landlord, and at that time we rented their house because of collective heating, who would have thought that there was only heating equipment, not a heating company!" Zhang Chunshan echoed.

"If you want to say that Mr. Wang's idea is high, install the soil heater on the balcony, burn anthracite and there is no smoke, and then connect the earth heater to the main valve of the heating, except for burning hard, isn't this the same as central heating!" Chen Yuhui laughed on the side.

"That's it, my head melon, a slap is an idea!" Wang Jinshan said proudly.

"Look at what you can!" Li Hui looked at Wang Jinshan with disgust, this old man's IQ was not ordinary since he was young, otherwise he was as smart as himself, how could he be fooled so easily?

"Anyway, let's hold on for another year, and if we move to a new house next year, won't there be central heating?" Zhang Chunshan has always been optimistic.

"The new building has been capped, and Team Leader Hu said that the room will be handed over on November next year, and it can meet the standard of direct occupancy!" Wang Jinshan raised his eyebrows, his eyes lit up, and said excitedly.

"Great! Lao Wang, I still have a leg of mutton in the refrigerator, I have decided, I will treat you tonight and eat mutton soup!

"That's what you said!" Wang Jinshan was not polite, "Li Hui, pick up Yiming at night and go directly to his house!"

"Hahaha!"

The four of them were talking and laughing in harmony, when they heard someone ring the doorbell, "Who?" Li Hui was a little puzzled, since she moved to a new house, because it was a rented house, except for her own family, no one usually came.

"Don't open the door randomly, let's see who it is from the door first?" Wang Jinshan instructed, this Li Hui, life ability has always been a little poor, last time there was an unknown person, said that he was looking for someone to break in, fortunately he was at home, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Li Hui lay on the door and looked at it for a long time, and suddenly let out an exclamation of "ah" and opened the door.

"Oh, big brother, why are you here?"

"When did a big brother come out?" Wang Jinshan was a little puzzled, stood up and walked towards the door.

"Big brother!" Wang Jinshan also shouted after seeing the person coming clearly.

The person who came was none other than Wang Jinshan's brother Wang Jinsuo!

Wang Jinsuo is only one year older than Wang Jinshan, and there is a three-year-old sister Wang Jinyu, who has not been valued at home since she was a child, in the old saying is the kind of child who wilts, she is silent all day long, there is a sister who is in charge of the house, and there is a quirky younger brother below, and Wang Jinsuo is like a transparent person, coming and going at home quietly.

"Big brother, why are you here? It's cold outside, come in quickly!" Wang Jinshan spoke incoherently excitedly, when he talked to Wang Jinsuo on the phone a few days ago, Wang Jinshan told him about his move, and Wang Jinsuo also carefully inquired about his current detailed address, which made Wang Jinshan a little puzzled.

Wang Jinshan has lived here for more than 30 years, only when his daughter Wang Zhenhua got married, his brother came once, and he usually called two or three times a year, and there was not much contact.

Wang Jinsuo lives by the sea in the same province, Wang Jinshan has never been to it once, it is the hometown of sister-in-law Su Xiujuan, after the death of his parents, Wang Jinsuo's unit in the northeast is also yellow, and the two of them bought out the seniority and went directly back to Su Xiujuan's hometown, a small city by the sea.

The reason why Wang Jinshan did not go to Wang Jinsuo's house was because Su Xiujuan had her mother died early and was buried in a cemetery in Changchun.

Without his mother, his father Wang Fu has been living alone, living in a dry rest house, with a group of old comrades-in-arms around him, exercising together all day long, playing mahjong in his spare time, and having full-time doctors and nurses when he is sick.

Wang Jinshan wanted to take his father to Shandong several times to take care of him, but Wang Fu refused, one is that he is old and always likes to stay in his hometown, and the other is that he is reluctant to let this group of old comrades-in-arms go, besides, there is an eldest son by his side, and Wang Fu does not want to go anywhere.

Wang Jinshan also considered that the eldest brother was by his father's side, and did not insist anymore, and later his sister Wang Jinyu told Wang Jinshan that as his father got older and older, the old comrades-in-arms around him passed away one by one, Wang Fu felt a little lonely and wanted to live with Wang Jinsuo, but he did not expect to be strongly opposed by Su Xiujuan.

At that time, Wang Fu was already over eighty years old, although his body was quite tough and there was no major problem, but after all, he was also an old man, and it was naturally hard to take care of him, Su Xiujuan resolutely refused to accept Wang Fu to live at home, saying that she could hire a nanny for him and let him live in his own home, which made Wang Fu very sad.

Wang Jinyu really couldn't stand it, although she was also sixty years old, she was sick, and she married to another province, but seeing that her father had no one to take care of, she was anxious, so she did the work of her wife and took Wang Fu to live in Inner Mongolia.

Unexpectedly, it was a good thing, Su Xiujuan jumped out again, accusing Wang Jinyu of taking Wang Fu away because of his father's inheritance, the two families fought inextricably, Wang Jinyu was angry with high blood pressure and was admitted to the hospital, Wang Fu had no one to take care of him at home, and he fell down and collapsed on the bed after a stroke.

Despite Wang Jinyu's dedication, Wang Fu passed away two years later at the age of 90.

When Wang Jinshan went to Inner Mongolia, he held two funerals, but what he didn't expect was that Su Xiujuan not only did not come to the funeral, but also dragged Wang Jinsuo together.

Wang Jinshan took his father's ashes back to Changchun to be buried with his mother, Wang Jinsuo didn't say a word about not going to his sister's funeral, but Su Xiujuan beat him up, saying that Wang Jinyu took away all his father's property, and Wang Jinshan was so angry that he slapped Su Xiujuan at the funeral of his parents!
