At night, Xu Qiang dressed up and went out to the alley to solve the major events in his life, and when he came back and passed by the middle courtyard, he heard Qin Huairu of the Jia family beating the child, and the bear child was crying.

Silly Zhu was standing at the door and looking at Jia's house, looking anxious, if it weren't for his sister Yushui pulling, he probably wanted to go in and pull a handful, seeing Xu Qiang coming in from outside, he smiled a little embarrassedly and went into the house.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twenty-fifth day of the lunar month, it was snowing outside, Xu Qiang didn't want to go out, he stayed at home all morning, and when he was hungry, he wanted to get up and cook some food, when he heard someone knocking on the door outside.

"Who?" Xu Qiang was a little curious, but he still got up to open the door, but he was very surprised by the person who came, it turned out to be Huang Ercai and Huang Xiaoqiang's father and son.

The two of them held a noodle bag in their hands, their shoulders were covered with snow, and although they were wearing hats, their noses and ears were red from the cold, and the cloth shoes on their feet were wet, and they had obviously walked for a long time.

"Uncle Huang, Xiaoqiang, why are you here? Come on in! ”

Xu Qiang hurriedly beckoned the two of them in, first poured them two cups of hot water, and the two of them were not polite, and then they felt a little warmer after taking them and drinking them.

Xu Qiang asked the two of them to take off the wet clothes outside and bake them on the stove in the inner room, fortunately, it was warm at home, and they were not cold, so they didn't need to ask to know that the two of them must have not eaten yet.

Xu Qiang didn't ask anything, he just rolled up his arms and sleeves, stir-fried noodles and started cooking, Huang Xiaoqiang quickly got up to help when he saw it, they were all used to doing common things, and he was very good at it.

Soon, the noodles came out of the pot, and they made a cabbage vermicelli stewed with potatoes, and they could see a large piece of oily meat in it, and the two of them were very happy to eat with their mouths full of oil.

After eating and drinking, Huang Xiaoqiang went to clean up the pot and stove with great vision, Xu Qiang beckoned Huang Ercai to sit down on the table of the Eight Immortals, and made tea again, and then spoke: "Uncle, this is the New Year, I will give you an early greeting first, I wish you a new year, good health, and all the best." ”

"Hey, hey, hey, good." Huang Ercai smiled and took a sip of the teacup, only feeling a little bitter, but knowing that tea is precious, he is reluctant to waste it.

"Uncle, you came here with Xiaoqiang from afar, definitely not for a meal, just say if you have anything, I will definitely help you do it."

During the meal, Xu Qiang saw Huang Xiaoqiang's situation, and vaguely guessed Huang Ercai's intention, so he didn't take care of everything, and he didn't say anything to death.

Huang Ercai was not polite, first told Li Gui about it, said a few words of thanks, and continued: "Xiaoqiang's job is not a long-term thing, I don't want to ask you for help to see if I have the opportunity to move my position." ”

As soon as Xu Qiang heard this, his eyes looked at Huang Ercai again and was a little different, who would tell him again in the future that rural people were stupid and had never seen the world, and he would definitely greet him with a big mouth.

"Uncle, this matter ......" Xu Qiang looked at Huang Ercai and said thoughtfully: "If you want to help, I must be willing, but I don't dare to give you a packing ticket, I can only look at the opportunity." ”

For Xu Qiang, if he helps Huang Xiaoqiang transfer his job, then he can ask him to do anything in the future, but the current work is not easy to transfer.

As soon as Huang Ercai heard that Xu Qiang did not refuse, he immediately grinned: "Hey, uncle understands, uncle understands, and I don't expect a result in these three months and two months, you can do it if you have such a thing in your heart." ”

After eating, Huang Ercai and the two didn't stay long, and after warming up for a while, they proposed to go home, Xu Qiang glanced at the bag at the door, and also took out eight apples from the wardrobe, a bag of white rabbit toffee, a bottle of two pots, two big front doors, five catties of white noodles, two catties of pork, and took two cloth pockets for Huang Ercai's father and son.

Although the two of them had hot eyes, they knew that they couldn't ask for it, and they didn't want to take it, Xu Qiang had a tough attitude, and asked Huang Shu'er if you looked down on me, and thought my things were not good, so Huang Er couldn't help it, so he accepted the thing.

Sending the two out of the alley, Xu Qiang returned home and untied the bag, and saw that there were some peanuts, red dates, walnuts, mushrooms, fungus, and three processed rabbits held in newspapers, which looked very fresh.

Xu Qiang knew that these things were the best things that could be taken out in the village, and he couldn't help but sigh, this Huang Ercai really worked hard for a pair of children.

On the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, the snow outside stopped, but the old saying is true, the snow is not cold, the snow is cold, and the road surface is frozen porcelain, but Xu Qiang still went to the future father-in-law's house against the severe cold.

Etiquette is naturally indispensable, they are all ordinary things, although the Lou family is now losing power, but there is really no shortage of these, Lou's father chatted with him for a while, talking about some current affairs and the direction of future development, you want to say that Xu Qiang may not know anything else, but he is familiar with this.

Half-truths and half-truths, plausible and non-existent for a while, only to hear Lou's father's eyes light up, happy eyebrows, if Xu Qiang didn't agree, he wanted to marry Xu Qiang.

When he came back, Xu Qiang carried a lot of big bags and small bags, nested at home and didn't want to go out again, the day passed quickly, the 27th factory was closed, he got up early in the morning and Xu Damao to get wages and benefits.

At noon, he dealt with it in the cafeteria, and in the afternoon, Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng went to the brother unit to show a movie, and he didn't go home, he spent eight gold coins in the system to buy a ten-pound lychee, and went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to find Zhou Lili.

The supply and marketing cooperatives closed early today, Zhou Lili had already packed up and was ready to go home, and when she saw Xu Qiang coming, she saw the big cloth pocket on his handlebar and suddenly her eyes lit up:

"Xu Qiang, that thing is there?"

"Hey, our section chief's wife wants, do I dare not have it?" Xu Qiang teased Zhou Lili with a smile, gave Zhou Lili the cloth pocket, stretched out his hand and said, "Chenghui is eighty-five yuan." ”

Zhou Lili "giggled" while holding the lychee, and slapped it on his hand hard: "After the New Year, I didn't bring so much money today, and your factory is closed?" ”

"Well, work will start on the sixth day of next year." Xu Qiang nodded, this is the rolling mill, like the supply and marketing cooperative, the police station, the neighborhood committee, the street office and other units will go to work on the fourth day of the new year.

"De'er, there are a lot of things to do at home, I'll go back first, we'll see you next year, I wish you a happy new year in advance and get married as soon as possible."

Zhou Lili spoke, put the cloth pocket on the handlebar, and said goodbye to Xu Qiang with her long legs across the bicycle.

"I wish you a happy new year in advance, and you are worried about the marriage event, bye-bye!"

Xu Qiang also smiled and waved his hand, rode his bicycle home, and it was estimated that he would go home tomorrow to celebrate the New Year with his parents, and he also hurriedly cleaned up the house.

With the holiday of the rolling mill, the street suddenly became crowded, there were people everywhere, everyone was smiling, jubilant, saying auspicious words when meeting people, or carrying the New Year's goods just done in their hands, full of New Year's flavor.

When Xu Qiang and Xu Damao rode two bicycles home, Xu's mother had already prepared a meal and waited, and although Xu's father was sitting on the kang, he also looked out through the glass window from time to time.

When he saw that people had come in through the gate, he quickly pretended to be serious, and the old god sat down and smoked.
