Sijiu City, rolling mill.

The phone rang, and Yang Youning, who was about to leave, picked up the phone.

When the voice came, Yang Youning immediately heard that it was Liu Huaimin's voice.

"Lao Liu, I'm about to get off work."

"Lao Yang, I also received a notice from my superiors, Yang Xiaotao came back by car tonight, and asked you to go to the rolling mill to greet me."

"Yang Xiaotao is back? What time do you arrive? ”

Yang Youning immediately became energetic, he had discussed things with Chen Gong in the past two days, and many key points needed to be implemented by Yang Xiaotao.

I thought this guy would come back after the New Year, but I didn't expect to come back now, and I really want to sleep and send a pillow.

"At ten o'clock in the evening, it may not be on time, you arrange good people, this time some children will come back with you, you talk to the street office, get ready."

"Street office? Child? ”

"Yes, as mentioned above, just let the comrades of the street office arrange it."

"Good!"

Yang Youning didn't ask much, hung up the phone, and immediately picked it up again.

"Defend the Section? I, Yang Youning, let Section Chief Zhao come here. ”

A moment later, Zhao Chuanjun walked into the office and left in a hurry.

In the street office, Director Wang, who had already gone home, was about to cook, when he suddenly saw Director Xiao Li running over, said a few words, immediately put down the kitchen knife, and beckoned to walk towards the courtyard.

Quadrangle

Ran's mother was holding the Dragon Boat Festival and watching the falling snowflakes through the window, pointing and counting them from time to time, and the little Dragon Boat Festival had to reach out to grab it, but was always stopped by the glass.

Rattling and rattling, let Ran's mother be happy.

Ran Qiuye supervised her sister and younger brother to study on the side, stroking her stomach from time to time.

In the house, the kettle on the heater was smoking, warm and warm, keeping the cold out of the window.

Outside the courtyard, the wind had stopped, the ground was covered with white, and Wangcai hid in his nest, sticking out his tongue from time to time to catch the falling snowflakes.

Jia Zhang did not sit at the door as usual, mainly because it was cold and he was afraid of the cold wind.

Qin Huairu was happy for a long time, and she had to face a dilemma at home again.

There is not much food, and the main thing is that there is not much coal at home.

Usually it's okay, but if it's cold and there is no stove, the house is like an ice cellar, especially in their house, where the doors and windows face east, and they can't see the sun in the middle of the afternoon, and the house is very cold.

I originally wanted to see how the compound was arranged in a few days, after all, there were always people who "lended a hand" all year round, and the compound would also organize it to help people like them.

So I haven't bought it, but I don't want this winter to come early.

It's too cold too fast.

In the house, Qin Huairu was cooking, frowning.

On the kang, the stick stalk was wrapped in a quilt, lying on the table, staring at the notebook, and the pencil in his hand poked at the table, more vigorous.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui also competed with his son and daughter-in-law.

It's cold, it's time to buy coal.

But this coal money can't be paid by itself, it has to be shared.

There's no way, you have to live a careful life this year.

What's more, it's cold early this year, so the extra part can't come out by itself.

In the house, the three mothers sat in front of the stove guarding the pots and pans, and the food was already prepared inside, waiting for the old man to reach an agreement and open the pot.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and the brothers led Yan Jiedi to the side, and their faces were also reluctant.

Although I didn't pay the money, I remember it clearly in my father's book, and in the future, I have to pay it back.

There was a stalemate in the room, and Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and looked at his toes.

One is my father and mother, and the other is my daughter-in-law.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of meat!

In addition, his current job is also unstable, and he does not earn as much as Yu Li, so in this family meeting, he is a little weak to speak.

Yu Li sat there, her hands folded around her chest, her face calm.

Today's meeting before Yan Fugui's meal made her feel very uncomfortable.

Usually eat at home and pay the money, but the coal bought has to be shared?

She didn't say anything about doing this before, after all, the money was handed over.

But since you have money in your hand, who wants to hand it over?

Thinking of searching their money from time to time on weekdays, this also requires money, and that also requires money, as if it is not a relative at home.

Yu Li was unhappy, so she simply leaned on it like this to see who couldn't be trusted.

After a while, the three mothers couldn't sit still, and they looked at Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at his father, and then at Yu Li, and in the end, years of education prevailed.

Reaching out and pulling the corner of Yu Li's clothes, Yu Li reached out and slapped it off.

Yan Jiecheng pulled it again, and Yu Li frowned, "Yan Jiecheng, what do you mean?" If you have something to say, you can say it. ”

"No, I, I'm not..."

Yan Jiecheng had a bitter face, he had no status in this family at all.

"What's not, it's not, a big man, can he be in charge?"

Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and said in a hateful voice, Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth, "I, why didn't I leave home." ”

"Yu Li, isn't it just to buy coal? We don't have much of that share, so let's give it to you. ”

Yan Jiecheng stood up and said solemnly to this Yu Li.

"Give and give, as if you have money, you give."

With that, Yu Li stood up and went back to the house.

"Hey, Yu Li, eat, eat."

"I won't eat it."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly chased out, and Yan Fugui and the three mothers on the side showed a triumphant smile.

The eldest daughter-in-law's calculating skills are getting stronger and stronger, and the old couple is under some pressure.

Before the meal could be served, I saw Yu Li walking towards the gate with a bag and snowflakes.

Yan Fugui opened his mouth with the three mothers, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

Yan Jiecheng ran out with him, and after a while, he ran back and sat on the stool.

"This is going back to my parents' house?"

The three mothers asked, and Yan Jiecheng nodded stunned.

"It's better to go back and reflect on it."

Yan Fugui said a word, and let go of the meal, Yan Jiecheng sat there and waited, not saying anything in his mouth.

The three mothers on the side put the nest head, cakes and a pot of stewed cabbage on the table, and looked at Yan Jiecheng's depressed appearance, "The Yang family will have a child after the New Year, you got married early, and now there is no one." ”

"Boss, it's time for you to think about it."

Yan Jiecheng continued to be silent.

Knock knock

The knock on the door suddenly came from the door, Yan Fugui squinted his eyes and wanted to get up, but Yan Jiecheng was fast, raised his legs and walked out.

"Hmph, I have to come back."

"It's like this, I missed it..."

Yan Fugui thought that Yu Li was back again, and just as he was about to taunt him, he saw that one person ran in first, and it was Director Wang of the Street Office.

Behind him were also the officers of the two street offices, looking like they were unhindered by the wind and snow.

I didn't care about eating, so I threw down my chopsticks and ran out in my coat.

"Director Wang, what are you..."

"I'll go to the Yang family in the middle courtyard."

Director Wang threw down a sentence and walked towards the Hanging Flower Gate.

When Yan Fugui saw it, he thought in his heart and hurriedly followed to take a look.

In the middle courtyard, many people saw Director Wang coming over in a hurry, and his head and body were covered with snow.

"Aunt Wang, why are you here?"

At the door, Ran Qiuye heard the movement and came out to look, wearing a coat with a look of surprise.

"Autumn leaves, Dragon Boat Festival, good news, good news."

Director Wang smiled, and Ran Qiuye hurriedly let people into the house when he heard it.

The three of them shook off the snow at the doorway and were greeted into the house. Yan Fugui, who came over, also walked in, but he was a little uncomfortable being stared at by Wangcai.

However, the Yang family is really warm here.

Is this heating stove in use now?

Really, extravagantly.

Yan Fugui sighed with emotion, and Wang Dashan's family came over outside, and the little daughter-in-law of the Liu family also came over to investigate the situation.

There were a lot of people in the room, and Ran's mother handed the enamel jar to Director Wang, and then found a cup for the two officers.

"Aunt Wang, it's such a cold day, and it's still snowing, so I'll talk about it tomorrow."

"It's late, it's too late tomorrow."

Director Wang took a sip of hot water, then looked at Ran Qiuye, and said with a smile, "The street office received a notice from above, and Xiaotao and the children will come back tonight." ”

Yes!

Ran Qiuye took a deep breath, his eyes widening with surprise.

"Really?"

"Really, why don't I do it!"

"What time will you be back?"

"Arrive at the station at 10:25, I guess it will take more than 11 o'clock to pick up people to us."

Then Director Wang said the phone call he received, "How many children are there this time?" Do you know about autumn leaves? ”

"Yes, Aunt Wang."

At this moment, Ran Qiuye's whole person is surrounded by happiness, his own man is coming back, and his students are also coming back.

"There are ten children and two adults!"

"Twelve people have to arrange, okay, let's discuss, how to arrange people to live."

"Okay, I have a place at home, and it's okay to arrange the children."

Ran Qiuye said that there were four houses in the family, and she and her mother squeezed them, and it would not be a problem to arrange the remaining ten children.

When the time comes, the boys and girls will be separated, and the family will be able to stay.

"Director Wang, I can live in a few of them."

Wang Dashan's family opened, and the little daughter-in-law of the Liu family on the side also came up.

"If I squeeze my house, I can make room for it."

Director Wang nodded with relief, Yan Fugui on the side saw this, thinking that Yu Li was leaving, Yan Jiecheng's house could be vacated to share a bed with Yan Jiekuang, and hurried forward, "Director Wang, as the uncle of the compound and a teacher, I have the responsibility to take the lead." ”

"I can make a room in my house and let the children live in my house."

Director Wang glanced at it and smiled, "Okay." Everyone's hearts are good, and the street office will remember everyone. ”

"Director Wang, this is what we should do, don't dare to be greedy."

Director Wang smiled, "Let's see the arrangement then." ”

Then he explained to everyone.

The children came back in the middle of the night, and they had to prepare food, which the big guy put on first, and the street office would compensate for it.

Hearing this, Yan Fugui's mouth cracked to the back of his head.

Look at the time, it's already past eight o'clock, and there is not much time left.

Soon, the yard was in action.

Ran Qiuye hugged the Dragon Boat Festival, asked people to find out the big red quilt prepared by Yang Xiaotao when they got married, and asked them to set the stove up.

Previously, only the west side of the house was equipped with a heating stove, but Uncle Chen's house did not install it, so it could only be replaced by a stove.

Many people knew that Yang Xiaotao was coming back tonight, and there was a group of students who were going to live in the courtyard, and many people came out to help.

Then Wang Dashan's family led a group of women to start doing it in Yang's house.

Get on the dumplings and get off the noodles, and everyone kneads the noodles to prepare the noodles.

Ran Qiuye even asked Ran's mother to cook ginger syrup and wait for the children to come back and take a sip.

In addition, the prepared eggs and meat were also brought out for people to make a good meal for the children.

There was not enough pot at home, so I took it back to my home to make it, and there was a sudden commotion in the middle yard.

Jia's family, Jia Zhang's came out to ask after hearing the movement, and then returned home with a suffocating face.

"Isn't it just coming back? It's like a big deal! ”

"So much flour, eggs, pork, it's a waste."

After Qin Huairu heard that Yang Xiaotao was coming back, her heart suddenly felt sour.

I don't know when the mist in my eyes was clouded, but fortunately, it was cold, and in the blink of an eye, the mist dissipated.

watched Huaihua fall asleep, tucked the quilt for Xiaodang, and then got up and put on a padded jacket.

"Where are you going?"

Jia Zhang asked.

Qin Huairu looked at the lively people outside, "Director Wang is there." I'm going to have to show it. ”

Talking about getting ready to go out.

Jia Zhang's eyes rolled, "It's okay to help, our family can also open a fire and cook." ”

"When the time comes, get more meat, noodles, and briquettes, and we can keep some too."

Jia Zhang fantasized that Qin Huairu did not react and walked into the wind and snow.
