Hui Xiangdong said unhappily: "What did you say? Why did I bring her? Why? She is my daughter-in-law and your stepmother. Where am I taking her, do I still need to greet you? I warn you, don't lose face for me here, you two don't have that qualification here. You are all not young, and it is said that you have all reached the age of marriage, and the matchmaker is about to kick the threshold of our family, but the two of you, who pick your nose and eyes, are stunned and don't look at any of them. When did I say a word to you? You're really going to have to learn a little bit from me here. Learn to be open-minded, don't keep getting into the horns. Besides, after your mother died, there will be only our grandfather left in our family, and there are no women in and out, what is the family like here? A home, without a woman, a home here is not like a home. The two of you live in the coal mine all the year round, and I am the only one at home, so you can bear it? I don't interfere with you here, and you don't want to mind me. ”

Hui Mingshan said: "Dad, where are you talking here, where do we dare to care about you, and we don't want to care about you." It's just that my mother has only been gone for a few days, and you will marry a newcomer into the door, and we can't accept it. ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "If you can't accept it, you have to accept it." No one is allowed to mention this again. He sighed and continued: "Mingshan, Minghai, think about what kind of life our family lived before entering the Kanto, it is not easy for our family to have today." Do you know why I have to partner with the Russians to run the mine? Do you have to let your two brothers live in the mine too? ”

Hui Mingshan said: "Dad, you have already said that you are here for me and Ming Hai to learn more about mining knowledge." ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "This is just one of them. There is also the second one, the second is that I can't trust foreigners. Those who are not of my race will have different hearts. So, both of you have to put your mind to learning your skills. Strive to learn all the skills in your own hands as soon as possible. Don't put your mind in the wrong place. Only here can we not be controlled by others. You know? ”

Hui Mingshan and Hui Minghai said in unison: "Dad, we know." ”

Hui Xiangdong said loudly: "You don't know. To put it bluntly, we don't know how to open a mine, if we understand everything, is it necessary to partner with foreigners? Besides, do you know what you did wrong? ”

Hui Mingshan and Hui Minghai thought about it for a while, but still shook their heads.

Hui Xiangdong also shook his head and said, "You two, it's been many years here, and you still haven't grown at all." You let me tell you two something. ”

Hui Minghai said: "Dad, didn't you say that we shouldn't scold Bi Mazi, right?" ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "No matter what you do, the main thing is to employ people. And employing people, you have to make people happy and convinced, and be willing to use them for you. If you can't do it here, no matter what you do, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort. You two have reminded me that it is not worth your life to kill someone. ”

Hui Mingshan said: "Dad, didn't I see that you almost had an accident just now, so I was in a hurry to follow him." ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "Nonsense. Don't say that I haven't had an accident yet, but if something really happens, can you scold people to solve the problem? Not only will it not be solved, but if it is not done well, things will be worse, and the gains will outweigh the losses. I also want to advise you two not to be too self-righteous, and always remember that there is a sky outside the sky, and there are people outside the world. If I don't look away, this Bi Mazi is definitely not an idle person, and you two had better be polite to him in the future. Don't keep playing the boss's stinky shelf. ”

Hui Mingshan said: "Dad, you just said that in the future, we will be better at work." ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "Confused. You don't want to think about it, how can an ordinary person react so quickly? How can you have so much strength? At the moment when the horse was frightened, he slipped down the coal mountain, calmly, and with his own strength, subdued the frightened horse. I'm afraid I don't have the ability to add the two of you together. ”

The two of them recalled the scene just now, and sure enough, they felt that Bi Mazi was a little extraordinary, and they didn't feel a little short of breath. Hui Minghai said: "Dad, where do you think Bi Mazi came from?" ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "I'm not Zhuge Liang. I don't have the patience to guess where he came from. But you two must remember to me, in the future, not only must you be polite to Bi Mazi, but also transfer him from the well, and it is best to give him a second head to do it. Even if you can't be good friends, at least let him know about you. ”

After gossiping for a while, the grandfather went to the office to sit down. After another cup of hot tea, it was time for the meeting. Karanishkov presided over the meeting in his capacity as a representative of the Soviet and Russian side and deputy director of the coal mine. Hui Xiangdong was well aware of the truth of "if you come, you will be safe", stood up, just said a few innocuous polite words, and handed over the words. However, Dobrynin, the engineer in charge of the technical safety of the coal mine, has been talking about it. Before I knew it, it was getting late, and Dobrynin remembered that the chairman was still leaving, so he quickly put away the handle, shrugged his shoulders embarrassedly, and said: "Chairman, it's so late, I sincerely hope that you can stay for the night." ”

Hui Xiangdong got up and smiled: "Next time." Next time I come back, I will definitely stay longer. ”

Hui Mingshan said: "Dad, will you leave after eating?" ”

Hui Xiangdong said: "The fifth brother and fifth sister-in-law are already preparing dinner at home, so it's not good if I don't go back." ”

As he spoke, he walked out of the office. Someone outside had already led the carriage, Hui Xiangdong took the reins, and was just about to get into the car, but Hui Minghai stretched out the reins and said: "Dad, it's so late, I'm not worried, or I'll send you, right?" ”

Hui Sangdong smiled and nodded.

When Hui Xiangdong returned to Xiawazitun, Fifth Brother Xiang had not returned from hunting. Originally, Hui Mingshan planned to send his father to Xiawazitun and return to the mine, but as soon as he saw Erya, he immediately changed his mind. A pair of eyeballs almost stuck to Erya's body. Erya Bingxue was smart, immediately blushed, lowered her head, and quickly hid in the kitchen to boil water and make tea. Hui Xiangdong could see it clearly, and saw that his son was still standing stupidly, so he pushed his son and said, "Minghai, your second sister has been busy for me and your mother all day, and you haven't stopped until now, why don't you hurry up and help your second sister?" ”

The fifth sister-in-law hurriedly stopped: "Master Hui, you can't do it here, the second young master is a guest, where is there a guest to work?" ”

Hui Xiangdong said with a smile: "Fifth sister-in-law, what kind of guest is he, he is his own family." Even if he is a guest, he is young and will not be tired from doing some work. Minghai, don't go yet. ”

Hui Minghai responded crisply, and went to the kitchen lightly. Seeing that Erya was renewing matches in the stove, he hurriedly leaned over, squatted beside Erya and said, "Sister Erya, let me help you, right?" ”

Erya didn't dare to raise her head, but her heart was already messy, and she didn't realize that her hands were trembling, and she said in a loud voice: "No, no." Hui Minghai had already lost his mind, and he reached out to catch the match, and Erya couldn't shrink his hand, and Hui Minghai's hand touched Erya's hand. The two of them had their hearts beating almost at the same time, and almost at the same time they let go, and a turn of dry wood was scattered on the ground.
