Olili didn't follow the little couple to Feng's house, but sat in the kitchen to roast the fire.

Now in the winter, the temperature is very low, and it is very cold when the wind blows outside, but it is warmer in the kitchen.

The old couple could probably guess what the relationship between her and Yan Xin was, and they felt a little apprehensive in their hearts, feeling that Yan Xin was a little unkind in doing things, that is, they were sorry for this girl and Feng Xi.

But Feng Xi, who is a daughter-in-law, didn't say anything about this matter, and he was able to let his family come over to celebrate the New Year together, so they didn't want to ask.

Guilty of this, guilty of that, all they can do is to redouble their enthusiasm and give them all the good things they have.

Alili and the old couple don't have much in common, but fortunately, Bai Xiaoling is there, so they won't fall into an awkward chat.

Bai Xiaoling knows that Alili is the deputy general manager of Fengxiang Real Estate Company, and is now in charge of the company's projects in the Yangtze River Delta region.

However, she didn't talk to Arily about business matters - she finally took a break for the New Year, so she should let go of her mood and take a good rest, and there was no need to worry about work things.

She chatted with Alily about some trivial things in life.

How did you live in this village when you were a child?

There are also some interesting things on the island country and the south stick, as well as good food.

She also asked Arily when she would go over and play and that she could be a tour guide.

Elle was attracted by her description, thought for a while, and finally sighed:

"In the past two years, I will be busy at work, and I can't spare too much time to travel abroad, and it will take two years to do it."

"Go out to play as soon as possible, while we are still young, go to all the places we want to go, so as to live up to life." Bai Xiaoling said.

He also said regretfully: "I want to bring my parents to travel, but they don't want to." ”

Wu Xiuhong said beside her: "We don't know foreign languages, what are we going to do abroad?" And travel is not interesting, with this time, it is better to have a good rest at home, what to do with that unjust money? ”

"You don't understand this," Bai Xiaoling said, "Traveling is still quite fun, let's come to this world for a trip, we have to see what the world is like, otherwise wouldn't it be too much of a loss for the rest of our lives?" As for spending money, that's even less a problem, our family is not short of money now - isn't it just to spend money? So what do you save? ”

Alili also smiled and said, "Xiaoling is right, uncles and aunts, you are still young, you can go out and have a look when you have time." ”

"That's right," Bai Xiaoling said, "When you get old in the future, you can't walk if you want to go out to play, then it's not worth it." ”

Wu Xiuhong was a little moved, but still said:

"No, we don't like to travel."

"You can see the outside world." Bai Xiaoling said.

Arily was also on the side to persuade her.

But no matter what they say, the old couple always feels that it is too wasteful to travel and they can't make much money themselves, so they can only spend their children's money.

Now they know that their children are very earnable, but after so many years of hard life, it is too late to develop the habit of extravagant consumption.

Bai Xiaoling finally gave up, and said to Ellilie with a wry smile:

"Sister Lily, you see, they are just so stubborn, they still have the consumption mentality when they used to live a poor life, and I, as a daughter, want to do my filial piety, but I don't have a chance."

Arily smiled.

But in my heart, I thought, "If my mother thinks about me like this, it will be so happy." ”

What the old couple thought about was not to use their children's money.

And her mother, who relied on men in her early years, was counting on her as a daughter later.

Although she has not been short of money since she was a child and has a very rich material life, she has always been very desolate in the spiritual world, and she has not received real care from any of her relatives, but has a lot of sad memories.

Yan Xin and Bai Xiaoling were very poor when they were children, but their parents really thought about them, which made her very envious.

She felt that if she lived in such a family, she might be happier - although the material life would be very scarce, at least she could rely on her own efforts to make her life better.

But there is no way to make up for the lack of family affection.

- This is actually her wishful thinking, and sometimes hard work doesn't necessarily change fate.

In a poor world, there will also be a lot of emotional pain.

She imagined those things beautifully, and imagined the life of poverty too simple, but she had not experienced it herself.

The old couple knew that they were coming back today, so they had already stewed the old hen, and now they were waiting for Yan Xin and Feng Xi to come back for dinner.

It didn't take too long for the little couple to come back, and then they were ready to eat.

The temperature outside was very low, so I didn't go to the hall to eat, and directly put the dining table in the kitchen, a coal stove was placed under the dining table, and there was an alcohol hot pot on the table, and everyone started eating.

It's just a pot of chicken, and there are some vegetables next to it, so you can put it in the hot pot if you want to eat it.

The food is relatively simple, but everyone eats quite happily.

During the meal, Bai Xiaoling also told Alili that according to the weather forecast, it would snow in the next two days, and it would be heavy snow.

This made Arily quite happy.

A few years ago, she wanted to see what the snow was like here, but she never had the opportunity to see it in person, and she didn't see the snow last year, which was a regret in her heart.

If we can encounter heavy snow this year, it will be able to make up for this regret.

Feng Xi was a little worried: "Twenty-nine, my brother is coming back, if it snows heavily, won't he be blocked on the road?" ”

Yan Xin said: "Why don't you call him and let him go home two days early?" ”

Feng Xi glanced at him: "You also know my brother's temperament, he values making money more than his life, so I'm afraid that he will go home early and make less money for a few days, he will arrange it at that time, is it possible to advance it?" It's better to tell him to be careful on the road. ”

Bai Xiaoling disagreed: "There's nothing to worry about about this, it snowed on the twenty-seventh, and when they came back on the twenty-nineth, the snow would almost melt." ”

Sometimes it snows in the winter, but it usually melts as it falls, and it takes a day or two for the heavier snow to melt.

The biggest snow in these years was the one in January 08, which lasted for more than ten days and caused a snow disaster.

In Yan Xin's memory, in the years after 08, until he was reborn, there was no snow disaster in his hometown.

Hearing Bai Xiaoling say this, she thought so, and said to Feng Xi:

"You really don't have anything to worry about, two days, enough snow to melt, there won't be road closures."

Feng Xi said: "I hope, but I still have to tell them about it, so that they can be mentally prepared." ”

After eating that night, several people were still roasting the fire in the kitchen for more than half an hour, Feng Xi and Bai Xiaoling cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks together, and sat and chatted for a while before they dispersed.

Several young men went up to the second floor.

Wu Xiuhong had already sorted out the other two bedrooms on the second floor, the master bedroom was of course occupied by Yan Xin and Feng Xi, and the second bedroom was prepared for Ellili.

However, Alili did not live in it, and said to Wu Xiuhong with a smile:

"Auntie, you don't need to prepare a room for me, I'll just sleep with Xiaoling."

Bai Xiaoling also said: "Yes, in such a cold weather, it will be even colder to sleep alone, and it will be warmer if I sleep with Sister Lily." ”

Wu Xiuhong glanced at them, and finally said, "Well, you think it's good, so be it." ”

In fact, the four of them were together in the first half of the night, and in the second half of the night, Alili and Bai Xiaoling went back.

When Wu Xiuhong called them to dinner the next morning, Alili and Bai Xiaoling slept in the same bed.

But this time, Wu Xiuhong didn't go upstairs to wake them up for dinner, but made a phone call.

It also saves the toss up and down.

Bai Xiaoling got dressed and walked out of the room, let out an "ah" sound, and shrank back.

Arily asked curiously, "What's wrong?" ”

"It's so cold outside, I need to add a piece of clothing." Bai Xiaoling said.

The air conditioner was on in the room and it didn't feel cold.

There was no air conditioning outside, and it was a bit unbearable to walk out.

She folded it back and added a down jacket.

Seeing her like this, Ellilie also added a down jacket and went downstairs.

It's really cold outside.

It was a cloudy day, the cold wind was still blowing, the cold wind poured into her neck, and Alili couldn't stand it a little.

Fortunately, breakfast was eaten in the kitchen, and the stove had been lit, so I didn't feel cold.

"There's a real chance of snow on this day." While eating, Yan Xin said.

Although the weather is cold, he made an appointment with Xiao's father today to meet at the sauerkraut processing factory, and no matter how cold it is, he will pass.

After breakfast, I made a phone call to Xiao's father, knowing that he was already on the way, so he didn't continue to stay at home and drove out.

Feng Xi and the others did not follow, but returned to the second floor and fought the landlord in the air-conditioned room.

It was too cold outside, and the north wind was blowing non-stop, but I wasn't in the mood to go out and play.

When Yan Xin arrived at the sauerkraut processing factory, Xiao's father hadn't come over yet, and he walked around the factory alone.

Now there is no work in the factory, just a janitor, sitting in the security booth at the gate, with a radio next to it, and a flower drum play is playing.

The salary of a few hundred yuan for this errand has no pension insurance - the uncle is in his 60s, and he only bought medical insurance.

Such a job fell to him, one reason is that his family is the surname of the village, and another reason is that his family's family situation is not very good, and his health is not very good, such a job is very important to his family.

The old man also knows that he has been taken care of by this factory, and he also knows gratitude.

Another janitor who changed shifts with him, his nephew is the village director.

Seeing Yan Xin coming, the old man got up very enthusiastically and greeted him, and turned down the sound of the radio.

Listening to the radio at work is definitely not allowed in the property company, but a small factory in the countryside does not need to be so strict.

Yan Xin didn't care about this, responded to the old man, and took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it over - he doesn't smoke himself, this is for the janitor.

Others may not think of this, but he himself has been a security guard for a few years in his last life, and he has also been a security guard for a few months in this life, and he will notice this.

When he was in the factory, the janitor had to accompany him, but he refused:

"You can rest in this security room, it's too cold outside, don't freeze yourself."

He was young, he wore a lot, and he wrapped his neck with a scarf, so he didn't have to worry about the cold wind pouring in, and it didn't matter if he turned around.

It's hard to say about the elderly, the body bones are not very good, if the cold wind blows in this winter, and you catch a cold, no one knows what the consequences will be.

He didn't want that problem.

This factory originally reserved a lot of space for future development, but this time Yan Xin came over and found that there was not much space reserved, and built a new plant.

Some time ago, they reached an agreement with a large instant noodle factory for the supply of sauerkraut, and signed a supply contract for several years, and the existing production capacity could not support that contract, so they had to expand the production capacity.

Fortunately, this is not a high-tech high-tech, there is no technical difficulty in expanding production capacity, and it does not cost much, and it can be built now, and it can start in February next year.

For this contract, they signed contracts with farmers in several nearby villages, who grow their designated vegetables, provide seeds, provide experts, and are responsible for door-to-door purchases.

This will also allow villagers in several nearby villages to increase their income.

Yan Xin looked around, especially the new plant, all the facilities had been completed, which made him very satisfied.

Dad Xiao is still a capable person, and with him doing things here, he doesn't have to worry too much about himself.

This sauerkraut processing factory originally had no idea of making money, just to drive everyone to get rich and leave a better living environment for themselves.

But he didn't expect to settle at the end of the year, and he made more than one million, which brought him a lot of surprises.

Of course, the more than one million dollars earned were invested again, and some loans were borrowed from the bank, so that the new plant was built.

However, after the completion of the new plant, it will bring more profits.

To be honest, he doesn't need the factories here to make a profit for him, and he doesn't like that.

Now I am thinking about how to provide benefits to employees next year and how to improve the infrastructure in the village.

With this in mind, a car drove up to the gate of the factory.

The car stopped, and two people walked down.

One is Xiao Shiyu, and the other is her father.

Yan Xin was quite surprised when he saw Xiao Shiyu.

When he got closer, he asked Xiao Shiyu: "Why did you come over on such a cold day?" ”

Xiao Shiyu smiled: "Send my dad over, and come to your house to play for two days by the way, what's the matter, aren't you welcome?" ”

Yan Xin hurriedly smiled: "Of course you are welcome, you can stay at my house for the New Year." ”
