Wang Weidong's father and father-in-law came to the coal mine and Shi Guozheng found out about it that night.

He asked his daughter-in-law to go out and call Qu Wenfu to his house.

"Wang Weidong's father and father-in-law are here, it is said that you are also in-laws, and the day after tomorrow, invite two people to your house for a meal." Shi Guozheng said.

"I don't invite, Wang Weidong has a bad stomach, what kind of good thing can his father be?" Qu Wenfu said. He wants to show his attitude and stand resolutely with Shi Guozheng.

"You're real relatives, it's not good to do that. He is unkind, and we cannot be unjust. If you think about the salary carefully, the responsibility is not entirely on Wang Weidong, but I am also responsible. Besides, we are elders, and we can't be like juniors. Shi Guozheng persuaded Qu Wenfu earnestly.

"Take five yuan to Wen Fu and let him buy two catties of meat and a bottle of wine." Shi Guozheng said to his daughter-in-law.

Hearing that Shi Guo was about to give him money, Qu Wenfu hurriedly jumped up and waved his hands to excuse himself: "How can I ask for your money!" ”

Qu Wenfu pretended to excuse himself, Shi Guozheng's daughter-in-law was not sincere in giving money, and the two of them were there like practicing Tai Chi pushers.

"Don't push it, just take it for you!" Shi Guozheng was really impatient.

The man was angry, and Shi Guozheng's daughter-in-law had no choice but to stuff five yuan into Qu Wenfu's pocket.

"When the time comes, you can tell Wang Weidong's father well, we are also kind enough to invite Wang Weidong here, and if he is unwilling to do it in the future, we can also give him a little compensation and take back the coal mine." Shi Guozheng said.

"Okay, I'll go back and prepare." Qu Wenfu nodded and said.

Seeing Qu Wenfu leaving, Shi Guozheng's daughter-in-law complained: "Why do we pay for Qu Wenfu's treat?" ”

"Old ladies have long hair and short knowledge! What is five dollars? If there is really coal in the coal mine in the future, it will be hundreds of thousands and millions! Shi Guozheng said.

"Didn't you say there was no coal in the coal mine before?" Shi Guozheng's daughter-in-law asked.

"If Wang Weidong can't find coal, it's none of my business if he wants to untie his shoelaces, it's his own business, but if he finds coal, I'll give him 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to get out!" Shi Guozheng explained.

"Give him 10,000 or 20,000 yuan for what, just let him get out!" Shi Guozheng's daughter-in-law said. It looks like she's even darker than her husband.

"You can't do things the way you say they do, you have to leave a little leeway for others. Who would dare to win my money when I played poker with the poor devils in the village? When I win twenty or thirty yuan, I always throw back two or three dollars for them to buy cigarettes and smoke, which is to leave room for others, and only then can I have leeway. Shi Guozheng said.

It's a pity that Shi Guozheng's daughter-in-law didn't understand what he said, she only knew that her five yuan was gone.

At night, the old Zhu Tou who watched the substation went to the coal mine to take over the shift with the old Chang Tou who came up from the underground. The substation often does not happen once a month, and two people go down the well to sleep.

Wang Weidong led the two into the office.

"You two have been working for half a month after I took over the coal mine, and now I have two relatives, I want to arrange for them to go down the mine to see the substation room, I will give each of you 100 yuan, you go back first, and I will go to you again when the coal mine is alive in the future." Wang Weidong said.

In the past, Shi Guozheng's father and son only gave five hundred yuan a month to two people, but this time Wang Weidong gave them one hundred to let them go home.

Lao Zhu went home with a hundred yuan, but Lao Changtou was unwilling to accept the hundred yuan no matter what.

"Mine Chief Wang, you know my situation, my son kicked me out of the house, and I am now homeless. This 100 yuan can be spent for half a year at most, what can I do in the future? Lao Changtou cried.

He said tears flowed down his face, snot and tears flowed into his mouth and onto his beard, looking at the fifty or sixty-year-old man with a rickety body crying so sadly, Wang Haifu and Lao Chen, who were sitting next to him, couldn't stand it.

"Weidong, you just leave him, Lao Chen and I are counted as one person who changes shifts and goes down the well to see the substation room, and usually finds a little odd job on the well." Wang Haifu said.

Since it was his father who spoke, Wang Weidong had no choice but to nod and leave Lao Changtou in the coal mine to continue working.

The next afternoon, Qu Wenfu took his daughter-in-law to the coal mine to invite Wang Haifu and Lao Chen to dinner. The reason why he took his daughter-in-law to the coal mine was because Qu Wenfu was worried that he would not be able to move Wang Haifu alone.

Seeing Wang Haifu, Qu Wenfu was very affectionate with his family. Then he explained that he wanted to invite Wang Haifu and Lao Chen to his home for dinner.

"It's all at the door, if you don't sit at home and have a meal, I'm embarrassed to see Xiaomei and me as an uncle in the future." Qu Wenfu said.

This matter is the task that Shi Guozheng gave him, so he must complete it.

"I got my heart, and there are a lot of things in the coal mine, so I don't have to eat." Wang Haifu excused.

Seeing that Wang Haifu was unmoved, Qu Wenfu came up and grabbed one of Wang Haifu's arms and gave his daughter-in-law a look, and the daughter-in-law came over and grabbed Wang Haifu's other arm. The two of them couldn't help but pull Wang Haifu outside.

Qu Wenfu got rid of it very easily, but Qu Wenfu's daughter-in-law used her two arms to hold Wang Haifu's arms in her arms, and Wang Haifu was so frightened that he didn't dare to struggle at all.

Seeing his father being dragged out of the coal mine by two people, Wang Weidong asked his father-in-law, Lao Chen: "Dad, why didn't you go?" ”

"Qu Wenfu's daughter-in-law didn't hold my arm either!" Lao Chen replied enviously.

"Don't envy my dad at all, we eat meat and drink wine here every day, Qu Wenfu's sample invitation to dinner may not be as good as ours!" Wang Weidong said.

Wang Haifu was dragged to Qu Wenfu's house, Qu Wenfu accompanied Wang Haifu to chat, and his daughter-in-law was busy stir-frying.

"Now this young man is far from what we were when we were young, and we only have money in our eyes! They don't pay attention to affection at all, they are mercenary! Qu Wenfu said with something in his words.

Of course, Wang Haifu knew that Qu Wenfu was talking about Wang Weidong, and he didn't say anything.

"Originally, I hoped that after Weidong subcontracted the coal mine, Tuanjie Village would develop greatly, and every family would build brick houses, but now it seems that there is no hope." Qu Wenfu said with a sigh.

"70,000 yuan to buy bricks and tiles, everyone helps each other to build a house without labor costs, and it is not much different." Wang Haifu said.

Qu Wenfu had an embarrassed expression on his face, in fact, he was also very angry at Shi Guozheng's father and son's behavior of eating alone.

At this moment, the door was pushed open, and Shi Guozheng walked in with a smile.

"It's so fragrant, is this a guest at home?" Shi Guozheng asked.

Hearing the voice, Qu Wenfu hurriedly invited Shi Guozheng to the back room and introduced: "This is Comrade Wang Haifu, Wang Weidong's father!" ”

Shi Guozheng stretched out his hand and held Wang Haifu's hand tightly together and said, "It's a rare opportunity, I must have two drinks with the workers' big brother today!" ”
