And today, because Li Heng used to clean up the house, after everyone came back from work in the evening, it also caused a commotion in the courtyard.

His father, Mr. Li, and Xiaoyuan, are actually quite popular in that courtyard.

After dinner, the first uncle came to the front yard and chatted with the third uncle, Yan Bugui, and then returned to the house and sat there smoking, with a thoughtful face.

An aunt took back the rice bowl sent to the old lady's house in the backyard, washed it and put it in the cupboard.

The lonely old lady in the backyard is seventy this year, her legs and feet are a little inconvenient, taking care of her is arranged by the neighborhood committee for an uncle's family, and she cooks a meal every day to send some to the past, and the old lady has a headache and brain fever to look at the point.

Every month, the street office will give the old lady a hardship living allowance of five yuan, and will also give a counting ticket, she doesn't know if she gives the money to an uncle's family, but the ration of 27 catties of grain every month is given to this side.

It's also a ha, the rice is ready and sent to you, and if the ration is not paid, it will be a little ugly.

And the first uncle and the first aunt took care of her really well.

The two of them have not had their own children for some reason, and from taking care of the old lady, they think of their life when they are old, and they often worry about their future pension problems.

Today, I heard that the eldest son of the old Li family in the front yard has returned from the army, and the first uncle began to think about the future pension of his two children.

He is in his early forties this year, and he is still a seventh-level worker in a steel mill, and his monthly salary is nearly ninety, which is a properly high salary in this era.

Money, their family is not lacking, but there is no way out, which is the core problem that has always plagued him.

"Lao Yi, what are you thinking?"

After the first aunt put away the dishes and chopsticks, she saw her man sitting there silently and didn't know what to think, so she asked.

"Did you see the eldest son of the old Li family in the front yard today?" Uncle Yi did not answer his daughter-in-law's question.

"See, the young man looks very energetic, and Xiaoyuan is like a mold carved out, that is, he can look black, and he can be taller."

"How do you feel about dealing with people?"

"Uh...... Hey, we didn't talk much, people were busy cleaning up the house, I just helped the old lady to go over and take a look, and then lived in a courtyard, which was considered a recognition of a person, and he was polite when he greeted him, and he didn't say anything else. ”

"He's been a soldier for so many years, so he doesn't have a bit of gangsterism or anything?"

"I really don't feel this, but it's a bit elegant, just like Lao Li and Xiaoyuan. I said, why are you asking this? ”

Uncle Yi took a puff of cigarette and glanced at his daughter-in-law, but didn't say anything.

And in this eye, an aunt immediately understood her man's mind and fell silent.

There is no out, which is also a pain in her heart.

"Do you know where he's assigned now?" After Uncle Yi took another puff of cigarette, he remembered that he had forgotten to ask this at Yan Bugui's place just now.

"It's right in the scrap yard down the street."

"How did you get to this unit?" Although everyone says that there is no distinction between good and bad work, and everyone can be the best in their work, in fact, there is a chain of contempt in everyone's heart.

Everyone says that the job is the same, but you ask him to sweep the street and try to see how many people are willing, not to support the family, absolutely no one wants to go.

In these years, it is the highest to work in the factory, and it is also the most awesome to be a worker.

I have a daughter at home, and the person I want to marry most is also a worker, and this kind of thinking has continued for twenty or thirty years.

"Allocated by the state, can he still say that he won't go?"

Aunt Yi's sentence is to the point, you can't pick the assigned work, but Li Heng is different from others, he picked it himself, and he strongly requested it.

Without him, he is just trying to be idle, and his salary is a lot.

In his previous life, he became a policeman after graduation, and he has been busy for more than ten years, and he doesn't even have a little time for himself, he doesn't want to live that kind of life anymore in this life, he would rather have his wife and children at home, of course, the premise is that he has to have that wife.

"Forget it, let's take a look when he comes back to live."

After listening to her man's words, an aunt put down the needle and thread in her hand and looked at it in surprise.

"Weren't you optimistic about the pillar before, and we have known this kid since he was a child, and he knows the roots, why has his mind changed now?"

"What else can it be, Lao He is gone, but he is just gone, and he is not gone, if he comes back in the future, do you think Renzhu can not support his father, but come to serve the two of us?"

Indeed, who can let go of his father and serve others, isn't that a bubble in his brain.

"Then you're going to find that...... That one...... What is the name of the eldest son of the old Li family? ”

"Oh, Lao Yan told me that his name is Er Heng, and his name is Li Heng."

"Are you going to look for him?"

"Look at it again, I haven't even seen anyone yet, if he is the same as Xiaoyuan, then it shouldn't be a big problem."

Speaking of this, Uncle Yi suddenly realized a problem: "No, I remember Lao Li said that his eldest son is five or six years older than Xiao Yuan, so isn't it almost thirty?" ”

"I don't know about this, but I think it feels similar to the face today." Aunt Yi pondered for a moment and said.

"That's troublesome, a person of such an age, and he has been a soldier for so many years, he has never seen any scenes, his heart has long been as hard as iron, and it is not easy for him to be moved."

"Lao Yi, I don't think you should think about it, you start to think about it before anyone has seen it, isn't this what you are doing by yourself."

Uncle Yi was stunned by what his daughter-in-law said, yes, why are you a little stunned, it wasn't like this before.

Since when did this be? Could it be that some time ago, the old lady in the backyard had a cold and fever at night, but there was no one around to affect it?

This time the search returned to the search, after all, there was no further talk.

……

Although it has been more than ten days since he came back, Li Heng still woke up automatically at five o'clock every morning, got dressed and went out to solve his personal hygiene, and then walked out of the door to run.

It has become a habit to insist on exercising every morning, and if he does not exercise for a day, he will feel uncomfortable all over his body and will not be able to keep up his energy all day.

Lao Zheng, who was also up in the guard's room, heard the movement outside and peeked through the window, and after seeing that it was Li Heng, he sat down again, picked up the steamed buns on the table that came out of the canteen last night, and ate the steamed buns and pickles.
