In the courtyard, Qin Jingru and Li Fang's mother and son chatted a few words and went home, after all, they had just finished doing white things here, and it was not good for Qin Jingru to stay too long.

When the girl left, she seemed to have something to say and stopped.

Li Fang carried the bag of grain sent by Qin Jingru and handed it to his mother with an inquiring look.

Zhang Yurong sighed: "No one's life is having a good time now, we can't take other people's things for nothing, you can send five cents to his third uncle's family in a while." ”

Li Fang nodded, just now he tossed the cloth bag with his hand, and there were about five or six catties of stick noodles in it.

Qin Jingru's family is just a farmer who eats from the soil, and these grains are all saved by people little by little, and people are willing to help them, but they can't take advantage of others in vain.

When Qin Dashun was alive, although his family was very poor, he never relied on his debts, nor did he take advantage of others.

While speaking, Zhang Yurong took out a sheepskin jacket from the house, the jacket was hand-sewn, the style was not very novel, but every stitch and thread were very smooth.

Zhang Yurong was holding the jacket in his hand, as if he was looking at things and thinking about people.

This jacket was made by her husband Qin Dashun herself, just hoping that her husband would be warmer when he was hunting, this jacket was just made by her a few days ago, ready for her husband to wear during the New Year, but now......

Zhang Yurong wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand.

Li Fang looked at his mother's tears, and his heart was full of mixed feelings.

The mother put the sheepskin jacket over her son's body and carefully fastened it.

Li Fang was only a sixteen-year-old boy, not as wide as an adult like Qin Dashun, so his sheepskin jacket was loose.

"Put, is it warm?" Zhang Yurong asked.

Li Fang looked at his mother's expectant eyes and nodded.

In the past, the family was poor, and only Qin Dashun, a laborer in the family, had thick clothes to wear, but now that he wore this sheepskin jacket, he understood what his mother meant.

At the door of the house, the younger brothers and sisters huddled together, and several small faces were red from the cold.

"Mother, I also want to go into the city, and I also want to wear a sheepskin jacket." This is the voice of the second Qin Xiaomei.

Zhang Yurong turned his head and pretended to be a serious reprimand: "Xiaomei, take your younger brothers and sisters back to the bed, your eldest brother will leave tomorrow, let's eat the nest tonight." ”

Children are always easy to satisfy, these days the children eat a lot of dry stick noodle porridge, when they hear that they can eat the nest, cheer happily.

Li Fang looked at this scene with some sadness, he hoped that his trip to the city could bring some changes to this family.

At the very least, let these little beans eat the meaty rice first.

......

Li Fang came out of the house in the early morning, and he still carried the two nest heads and a tightly wrapped thing that Zhang Yurong stuffed him in his arms.

Before leaving, Zhang Yurong told her son about all aspects of things, and when Li Fang left, she still had a worried look on her face.

The mother of the child was worried, and Zhang Yurong sent Li to the village before giving up.

"Fangzi, take care of Jingru." It was Qin Jingru's father, Qin Daping, who spoke and was Qin Dashun's cousin.

"Knowing the third uncle, I will." Li Fang looked at Qin Jingru, who was not leaving an inch behind him, and promised Qin Daping.

Coming out of the village, the snow was piled up to the ankles, and Li Fang and Qin Jingru squeaked and stepped on the snow and walked in the direction of the city.

In those years, there were no private cars, and bicycles were not something they could afford for rural children, and it had snowed heavily for three or nine days, and they had broken their legs a few days before driving the mule cart, so they could only walk on two legs.

Fortunately, children in the countryside have been running all over the mountains since they were children, and their foot strength is extraordinary, and they have walked twenty miles, and neither of them said that they were tired.

Qin Jingru's face was still red, this was the first time she was alone with Li Fang, and something called sweetness quietly grew in her heart.

The two walked for a long time, and before they could say a word, they could only hear the sound of their breathing on the silent path.

"Brother Fangzi, are you going to work as a worker when you enter the city this time..."Qin Jingru's voice was very good, and the girl's voice was soft and glutinous.

Li Fang nodded.

The girl lowered her eyes, was silent for a moment, and said, "Then it will be difficult for us to see you again in the future." ”

At this moment, Qin Jingru even thought that if Li Fang didn't have to be a worker, would he be able to be with him often......

When Li Fang heard the girl's words, he turned sideways to look at Qin Jingru, he paused and said, "Qinjiazhuang is my home, and I will go back often." ”

When Qin Jingru heard this, a smile appeared on her face, she just wanted to stay with Brother Fangzi for a while.

Just for a moment...

It's even better to be able to stay together every day.

Thinking like this, Qin Jingru's smile deepened.

......

The capital of this era is very different from the capital in Li Fang's memory, there are no high-rise buildings, and people come and go wearing clothes of one tone.

Single and simple, this is Li Fang's first impression of the capital in this era.

When they arrived, it was already afternoon, Li Fang didn't delay much, he asked for directions, then separated from Qin Jingru and went to the rolling mill alone.

The rolling mill was very large, and Li Fang, a fresh face, was stopped by the doorman as soon as he arrived.

"Boy, from the countryside?" The doorman was a middle-aged man in his forties, with bright eyes.

Li Fang smiled, nodded and said, "You have a sharp eye, you can see this." ”

His tone was very polite, after all, he was not familiar with the place when he first arrived here, and it was always not wrong to be polite to others.

Nowadays, many workers are recruited from rural areas, so the guards did not discriminate against Li Fang, after all, the workers and peasants are all class brothers.

He patted Li Fang's jacket: "In our forty-nine city, young people of your age don't wear this." But, if you want me to say, what kind of style is this, it's not as good as the clothes sewn by our own mother......"

Li Fang looked at the talkative doorman, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

It seems that whether it is the 21st century or the present, the habit of poor mouths in Beijing has not changed.

However, compared to the society in which everyone was alienated in later generations, he still liked this era full of human feelings.

"What you said is that this is not as good as home, in this world, only my mother loves us the most." Li Fang said loudly when he heard this.

This doorman is a filial son, and when he heard Li Fang's words, he immediately had a good impression of this young man.

The title has also changed from a child to a little brother.

"Little brother, are you looking for someone in our factory or ......?"

"Big brother, this is my letter of introduction, I'm here to report to the Personnel Department."

Li Fang took out the precious letter from his arms and handed it to the doorman.

Although the doorman was poor-mouthed, he was never sloppy when he encountered serious matters, he carefully read Li Fang's letter of introduction, and then gently folded it and handed it back.

He said enthusiastically: "Our rolling mill is too big, I just happened to change shifts, I'll take you there." ”

Li Fang saw that he was also out of kindness, so he nodded and agreed: "Thank you so much, I don't know your surname, big brother?" ”

The doorman shouted: "No thanks, they are all comrades, class brothers and family." My name is Hu Sandou, and you can just call me Brother Hu. ”

While the two were talking, they had arrived at the office building in the factory.

"Brother Li Fang, I'll send you here, you give the letter of introduction to the clerks inside, and they will understand." Hu Sandou instructed.

After Li Fang thanked Hu Sandou, he walked into the office building.

Maybe he was lucky, as soon as he finished reading the letter to the clerk, he saw the clerk stand up and shout "Hello to Director Li".

Li Fang turned to look and saw a middle-aged man who looked very shrewd standing behind him.

The man's eyes were full of ambition and scrutiny.

This is Li Fang's first impression of Li Huaide.

"Director Li, I was about to look for you... I read this little comrade's letter of introduction, and I'm about to check it with you. The clerk said.

Li Huaide glanced at Li Fang a few times, took the letter of introduction, looked at Li Fang's name, and seemed to remember something.

Li Fang was also looking at Li Huaide, if he remembered correctly, this Deputy Director Li was the leader who took Qin Dashun to the Northeast back then. He is also a ruthless character in the courtyard drama.

Li Huaide put down the letter of introduction, nodded to the clerk, gave a few more commands, and walked out of the office.

When he saw the letter of introduction, he already remembered who the young man in front of him was, but it was his own private matter to fight the tiger and take the tiger, and this article was also opened by himself, so in order to avoid suspicion, he couldn't communicate more with Li in this kind of public place.

After all, it is not a glorious thing for people to know about public and private use, but it will bring a crisis to themselves.

And Li Fang saw that Li Huaide didn't stay long, so he had a plan in his heart, and he learned some things with the clerk, so he left the rolling mill.

On Li Huaide's side, he just arrived home in a car after work, but saw a teenager standing at the door of his house.
