As soon as Silly Zhu made an important decision in his life, he saw Qin Huairu walk in from outside the door.

The face is haggard, the eyes are lowered, and under the light, the figure behind him is slender, reflecting on the door, very slender.

When the stupid pillar saw it, his heart softened, Qin Huairu looked like this, how could he be willing to let it go?

"Pillar, sister, please help."

Qin Huairu's voice was hoarse, like a cuckoo crying blood, which was very desolate in the ears of the stupid pillar.

"Sister Qin, you say!"

This Sister Qin made Qin Huairu's heart settle.

Silly pillar, still that silly pillar.

Even if she changes, she can be tamed back.

"This Dongxu is gone, whether it's a helper or a guest, you have to make two tables..."

As soon as Silly Zhu heard this, he understood in his heart what Qin Huairu was doing.

At this time, those who participate in the white affairs will not come empty-handed, and the same host family will have to greet them.

"Sister Qin, what should I do, don't worry, I'll leave this Brother Dongxu's affairs to me, and I will definitely do it beautifully for you."

"Pillar, you..."

Qin Huairu saw that Silly Zhu was talking normally, and he was not as eager as before, so he sobbed violently, and tears flowed out of his red eyes.

"Sister, thank you, Brother Dongxu is gone, leaving the family behind, I..., if I don't have your help, how can I live."

Whining...

Qin Huairu cried, and Silly Zhu hurriedly stepped forward to help, "Sister Qin, see outside, see outside." ”

Qin Huairu held Silly Zhu's arm and leaned on Silly Zhu's body.

The soft body, the careless touch at this moment, made the stupid pillar feel a wave in his heart.

"Sister Qin, me."

Qin Huairu let the stupid pillar's actions go, this point of effort is worth it.

"Pillar, sister, I will rely on you in the future."

"Sister Qin, don't worry! There is still me in this courtyard, and if you have something to say, no one dares to bully you. ”

Well?

The palm of the hand was even more careless, it was an uncontrollable existence.

Not long after, Qin Huairu stroked her hair, left Silly Zhu's house, and walked towards Yi Zhonghai's house.

Then the second uncle's house, the third uncle's house, and even a few people who helped today walked through and thanked them one by one.

Whether it is sincere or pretended, the people in the courtyard feel that Qin Huairu is a person who can carry things clearly and can do things.

At night, the trumpeters will finish their work at the end of the day and continue tomorrow.

Silly Zhu came to Jia's house with two lunch boxes.

He wanted the previous cheapness, but he was not satisfied, what he wanted was more.

"Aunt Jia, Sister Qin, eat something, I'm busy surviving this day, it's not okay if I don't eat some."

Silly Zhu said, Qin Huairu saw a warmth in his heart, but his face shook his head indifferently, "Thank you." I can't eat it! ”

"Sister Qin, you can't stop eating, you have to eat for the sake of the child in your belly."

Silly Zhu said, Jia Zhang's stomach on the side was already rumbling, his eyes were glued to the lunch box, and he almost grabbed it.

The same is true for the stick terrier and Xiaodang next to them, they gnawed on a cold nest and were already hungry.

"Huairu, eat some, we have to keep vigil tonight."

Jia Zhang opened his mouth to persuade, and so did the stupid pillar on the side.

Seeing this, Qin Huairu nodded in response.

Soon, the four of them ate in front of Jia Dongxu's spirit.

Yi Zhonghai leaned in front of the door and watched Silly Zhu deliver food to the Jia family, and an aunt laughed in the back, "Old Yi, it seems that Silly Zhu still has a conscience." ”

Yi Zhonghai nodded, "Let's help in the future." ”

The next day, when Yang Xiaotao went out, the sound of suona at the door had already sounded.

Look left and right, the people in the courtyard should go to work, and they should be busy.

Except for Yi Zhonghai who took leave to help in the hospital, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui both went to work.

Fortunately, tomorrow is Saturday, which happens to be Jia Dongxu's first three, and he just has time to attend the funeral.

After Yang Xiaotao came to the rolling mill, he went straight to a workshop.

Sun Guo came early in the workshop and checked it, just like when he left yesterday.

After Yang Xiaotao arrived, he began to assemble the steam engine.

Sun Guo didn't dare to disturb, just watched quietly from the sidelines.

After a while, Xu Yuanshan and Yang Youning, who got the news, also came, and many people from the first workshop gathered around.

Yang Xiaotao beckoned a few workers he knew to help, holding a board in his hand, skillfully piecing together the parts one by one.

"Welding is needed here!"

Yang Xiaotao raised his head and said, Sun Guo immediately arranged for people, and after a while, a seventh-level welder came over with a guy and started working at Yang Xiaotao's designated position.

The welding rod clanged, and sparks kept flying out.

The people around instinctively squinted their eyes to protect their eyeballs.

After a while, the welder finished drying, and after Yang Xiaotao checked it, he continued to install.

There are many parts of the steam engine, and there are many that need to be welded.

After the large pieces were installed, Yang Xiaotao installed the purchased belts and leather strips in place.

It was not until noon that the first steam engine was assembled.

Yang Xiaotao wiped the sweat from his forehead, took off his faulty scanning glasses, and the newly assembled steam engine in his field of vision was not abnormal, which also made him breathe a sigh of relief.

Then he nodded to the people who were waiting.

Yang Youning couldn't wait for a long time, and when he saw Yang Xiaotao getting up, he immediately came over to take a look, and then confirmed, "Try it?" ”

Yang Xiaotao nodded, "You can try, and if you have a problem, you can solve it as soon as possible." ”

With the approval, Sun Guo immediately found briquettes and began to light them in the stove.

Everyone watched around the steam engine, and Yang Xiaotao stepped forward to check the cleaning in person.

After a while, the flame of the stove was steaming, and the sound of boiling water could already be heard.

Sun Guo was a little nervous, and kept staring at the flywheel, as if the wheel would move in the next second.

It's just that the more I look at it, the more eager I become, "Why don't you turn around?" ”

On the side, Yang Youning and Xu Yuanshan also frowned, could it be a failure?

Yang Xiaotao pushed his eyes, then stepped forward in the eyes of everyone, stretched out his hand on the runner, flicked it hard, the wheel rotated, and then saw the connecting rod connecting the flywheel crankshaft moving.

And this movement can't be stopped.

"It needs to be given a force."

Yang Xiaotao said with a smile, and the people around him suddenly realized, Sun Guo even lined up his forehead, and smiled, "I was scared to death, I thought it didn't work out." ”

On the side, Xu Yuanshan looked at the flywheel that was quickly selected, and shouted to Sun Guo on the side, "Go find someone to test it, this wheel is not slow." ”

Sun Guo immediately ran away, and Yang Youning also touched his chin on the side, "Indeed, it feels like it's quite energetic." ”

The crowd gathered around the steam engine and kept pointing out.

Yang Xiaotao was also watching from the sidelines, thinking that it would be very fast to use it to drill wells.

Quadrangle

There was a lot of mourning at the door, and the two musicians were alone for a while, and every time someone came, they would enter the state and tell the people in the courtyard that someone was coming.

Jia Zhang was still sitting at the door, his eyes looking out of the courtyard from time to time.

At this moment, it is almost noon, and it stands to reason that the people who should have come should have come a long time ago, but by now, the people who came to the courtyard were all the old people in the surrounding alleys.

These people are here to repay the favor, go through the motions, not much gift money, a few cents plus a few, a dozen pieces of yellow paper, and then come to register, and then say a few words to the family, and that's it.

No matter how much money is paid, the host's meal has to be managed.

For this reason, Silly Zhu deliberately asked someone to ask for leave from the factory, and regardless of whether the director agreed or not, he stayed in the courtyard anyway.

Meals are being prepared at the moment.

Of course, the food is from Yi Zhonghai, the ingredients are bought by an aunt, and the stupid pillar of seasoning or something is brought by himself.

After this morning's busy work, two tables of dishes were put out in the middle courtyard and opened at any time.

People from the neighborhood are communicating in the courtyard, and today is the next day, and such a scene will appear tomorrow.

Because it is a white matter, in line with the principle of doing things in a vegetarian way, and Yi Zhonghai does not give much money, so Silly Zhu makes all vegetarian dishes, no meat dishes, and no tobacco and alcohol.

The pot has four large flower plates with hot dishes that look nice, and four Fluttershy with pickles in the cupboard, waiting to be served.

Of course, only tofu can be eaten in this hot dish, and the rest will look good on the plate.

People who attend the funeral know this and generally don't move.

Pickles can be eaten, but not in large quantities.

So Silly Zhu is busy today, and the dishes he will cook tomorrow will be trouble-free.

Of course, he won't tell Qin Huairu about this, but he wants Qin Huairu to see that he has done a lot and worked hard.

So that he can continue to earn some benefits.

"Huairu, did you tell your family?"

Jia Zhang looked at it for a while, not only did the Jia family's own family not come, but even Qin Huairu's mother's family did not appear.

Jia Dongxu is a junior, Qin's father and Qin's mother don't come and talk about the past, but there are always a few people of the same generation.

Qin Huairu looked at the empty courtyard, and his heart was also uneasy.

"I asked someone to bring back the news yesterday! Maybe on the way! ”

"Oooh!"

Jia Zhang responded, thinking about how much gift money he could receive this time.

"Mom, where's your one?"

Qin Huairu asked suddenly, Jia Zhang's face stiffened, and he lowered his head and did not speak.

In the past few years, she has no contact with her family, and she is afraid that the village will get her back, so she took the initiative to cut off contact, and this time she didn't even say hello, how could anyone come.

"Mom doesn't have any relatives in the family, so they don't come and go, so don't get involved."

Jia Zhang smiled far-fetchedly, and Qin Huairu looked at it and ignored it.

The so-called red things are not invited, and white things are not invited.

If the relationship is really good, how can I send some paper money when I hear the news.

The two of them didn't speak, but Qin Huairu was waiting for the Jia family's hometown, after all, the place where Jia Dongxu was buried had to be settled.

Otherwise, when the festival comes, there will not even be a place to go to the grave in the future, and it will be miserable.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui rode back quickly, and as soon as he arrived at the door, he saw Yi Zhonghai talking to Silly Zhu.

"Yo, Uncle Yi, stupid pillar, are you busy here?"

Yan Fugui plugged in the car and sorted out his clothes.

Silly Zhu didn't pay attention to him, the incident of the previous day hadn't passed yet, if it weren't for the Jia family's work, he wouldn't have bothered to take a look.

Yan Fugui didn't care, Silly Zhu had such a temper, and the more he took him seriously, the more angry he became.

"Old Yan, aren't you going to work? Why did you come back so early? ”

Yi Zhonghai has a lot of things on his mind, and he doesn't speak with any feelings.

"I, I didn't have classes in the afternoon, and I thought about the work in the hospital, so I came back to help."

"Help? It's not time to eat yet, come back and eat with your stomach. ”

Silly Zhu showed no mercy, and directly pierced Yan Fugui's careful thoughts.

Yan Fugui was not angry, "What? There are a lot of people here. ”

"You can't read it yourself, and your ears are bad before you retire?"

Silly Zhu continued to choke, the smile on Yan Fugui's face was gone, and he was said by Silly Zhu three times and twice, the clay man still has three points of anger.

Just as he was about to speak, he saw two people coming from behind.

Two young men, dressed in patched clothes, with messy hair and a yellow complexion.

When I drove to the door, I asked about the three of them.

"Is this Jia Dongxu's home?"

One speaks, and the other puts the bag down on his shoulder.

"Yes, yes, it's Jia Dongxu."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly spoke, and the two looked at each other as if they listened, "I finally found it." ”

"Who are you?"

"We are Jia Dongxu's cousins. I got the news. ”

The older ones spoke.

"Ah, the family is here, come in quickly."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly let the stupid pillar lead him in.

Then he stood at the door and continued to wait, but when he looked left and right, the alley was still empty.

"Lao Yi, you say, it won't be just the two of you."

Yan Fugui whispered, Yi Zhonghai didn't know the situation.

Over the years, I don't know much about Jia Dongxu's family, and for the sake of pension, he doesn't want Jia Dongxu to be too involved, so that the situation over there is not clear.

"Wait and see! They are probably working in the fields. ”

"It'll be here in a moment!"
