No matter what age you are, traveling long distances is always tiring.
Even taking a sleeper car was not enough. After three days and two nights of jolting on the train, when his feet set foot on the ground in Beijing again, Li Donglai felt as if he had come to life again.
"Oh, I'm exhausted! Brother, let's go home quickly. My sister-in-law must be anxious."
After all, Li Xiaomei was younger and still lively. She jumped off the train and took Li Donglai's hand to rush out.
"Wait a minute, Zhang Long and the others still have their luggage."
Li Donglai patted Li Xiaomei's hand, signaled her to wait a moment, turned around and strode towards Zhang Long and Zhao Hu.
At this time, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu were carrying two large bags in their hands, seven or eight bags hanging on their bodies, and two pieces of tiger skin hanging around their waists. They looked like moving luggage carts.
A large part of these gifts were given by Zhou Bingkun and Zheng Juan. For example, the two mink skins were obtained by Zhou Bingkun from a distant relative.
The mountain products in the bag were gifts from local comrades. Before leaving Jichun, Li Donglai considered that Li Xiaomei would study here in the future, so he specially invited several local comrades to have a drink twice.
Li Donglai was originally an outsider, and he quickly became good friends with those people at the wine table.
Of course, local comrades also knew Li Donglai's temperament, and the gifts he gave were all specially selected, not only worthless but also representative of local characteristics.
Among them, what Li Donglai is most interested in are thorn buds, monkey legs, cucumbers, bracken, mother-in-law and other sun-dried wild vegetables.
This thing is rich in nutrients and cannot be bought even if you have money in the capital.
"Zhang Long, come here, hand the bag to me, I'll take it."
Facing Li Donglai's extended hand, Zhang Long was stunned for a moment and smiled shyly: "Boss, these things may seem like a lot, but they are not heavy at all. Besides, it is our responsibility to take care of your schedule. Or
Let’s do it.”
Zhao Hu also helped: "You still have bigger tasks to complete. We are strong, so doing such a small amount of work is nothing."
"We are friends now, not superiors and subordinates. Come on, give it to me quickly, or I will complain to you in Brigade Liu."
Seeing Li Donglai's serious face, the two of them divided a small group of people to salute Li Donglai.
Li Donglai took it smoothly and hung it on Li Xiaomei's shoulder.
Facing the curled-up Li Xiaomei, Li Donglai smiled: "You are going to become a pilot soon, so naturally you have to exercise."
Li Xiaomei frowned and thought for a moment, feeling that something was wrong, but she couldn't explain why.
Zhang Long and Zhao Hu both covered their mouths and laughed quietly when they saw the interaction between the siblings.
....
When we returned to the courtyard, it was noon, and some workers who had not eaten in the factory returned to the courtyard one after another.
On the one hand, you can save meal stamps and eat at your own home. The saved meal stamps can be sold to other workers, saving 50 cents a month.
On the other hand, you can lie in bed and rest for a while after eating.
Most of the work in the steel rolling mill is heavy physical work. Workers will feel tired even if they have been used to it for a long time.
Squint in bed for a while and you will feel more energetic in the afternoon.
The jeep parked at the entrance of the courtyard and immediately attracted the attention of many people.
"Look, who owns this car? It's so impressive."
"Yeah, we don't have any big leaders in our compound, right?"
"You have forgotten that the grand master of our compound is the director of the laboratory."
"Yes, yes, I usually keep a low profile. How could I have forgotten this matter?"
"Look, the old man is really back."
Li Donglai was very popular in the courtyard house, and residents flocked to greet him one after another.
Several people even took the initiative to help Li Donglai carry his things back home.
Ding Qiunan was counting the days and had been waiting at the door of her house. When she saw Li Donglai coming back, the corners of her eyes turned red instantly.
It was just that I was worried about the presence of so many people that I didn't throw myself into Li Donglai's arms and express my love for him.
Li Donglai came home and thanked everyone.
"Thank you guys. You have been working for a long time. You must be very tired by now. Please go home and rest for a while."
After the residents left, Zhang Long and Zhao Hu also left because they had to go back and hand in tasks.
Li Xiaomei was very lively on the road, but now she was so sleepy that she couldn't even open her eyes. She staggered back to the room, fell down and fell asleep.
"Where are Weidong and Weiguo?"
Li Donglai washed his face in the enamel basin, took the towel and wiped it while asking.
"My mother has been thinking about her children very much these past two days, so she picked them up early this morning." Ding Qiunan said with a smile.
The Ding family only has one daughter, Ding Qiunan, and no sons. Ever since Wei Dong and Wei Guo were born, they have become the heartthrobs of the Ding family.
When Wei Dong and Wei Guo were young, Ding Qiunan often asked Ding Qiunan to take the children back. When the children grew up, he simply took the children back, often staying there for several days.
On weekdays, Li Donglai and Ding Qiunan have strict requirements on their two children. If they make a mistake, they will scold them at least, but they will really take action when it is more serious.
The old couple of the Ding family doted on their children. Every time Wei Dong and Wei Guo went to visit, they would prepare gifts in advance. Naturally, the two children also liked living in the Ding family.
Ding Qiunan was once worried that the Ding family would spoil their children, so he persuaded the Ding family several times.
But as the saying goes, a true kiss can only come from a different generation.
The old couple of the Ding family promised Ding Qiunan every time. When they met Wei Dong and Wei Guo, all the promises they had made to Ding Qiunan were forgotten.
Ding Qiunan had no choice but to accept it after Li Donglai's persuasion.
From Li Dong's point of view, children cannot be pampered blindly, nor can they be treated strictly strictly. If they are more strict here, and the Ding family is more pampering, they can coordinate with each other and be more conducive to the children's lives.

In the Ding family house, Li Donglai felt moved when he heard that the children were not at home. He put down his face towel and took Ding Qiunan's little hand.
Ding Qiunan's little face suddenly turned red with embarrassment, and she looked outside nervously.
"No, it will be daytime. It would be embarrassing if someone hit me."
"If there is anything to be embarrassed about, it belongs to an old married couple. No one dares to gossip."
Li Donglai chuckled, turned around, closed the door, and took Ding Qiunan's little hand into the back room.
(One hundred and eight thousand words of hydrology are omitted here)
afterwards.
Li Donglai turned sideways, took out the enamel jar from the bedside table, and took a sip of tea.
Ding Qiunan lay on the bed, and it took him a while to recover. Thinking of what happened just now, his face turned red like a monkey's butt.
I haven't seen him for a few days, and this rough man seems to have gained a lot of strength.
Li Donglai put down the enamel jar and said with a smile: "By the way, I brought back a few tiger penises. I remember that we still have a few bottles of Maotai wine at home. Later you can find a big jar and soak the tiger penis into the wine to make it.
Tiger Whip Wine.”
"Tiger whip wine..." A look of fear appeared on Ding Qiunan's face.
It's already so powerful now, if I drink again...
She felt a little weak in her hands and feet.
"By the way, who gave you the tiger whip? I heard that there are not many tigers over there now."
"It's a guy named Zhou Bingkun..." Li Donglai leaned on the bedside, played with it carefully, and briefly told about the trip to Jichun.
Ding Qiunan was amazed when he heard this: "The Zhou family is really weird. Zhou Bingkun was working hard in the Zhou family. They didn't see it. Instead, it was the precious Zhou Bingyi and Zhou Rong."
"And Zhou Rong, a girl from a family who left her home and came to the capital for a third-rate poet is simply shameless."
"On the other hand, Zheng Juan is a good girl who can take care of my mother and her blind brother in a poor environment."
Ding Qiunan's views on several people were similar to Li Donglai's.
She also doesn't like the arrogant and domineering Zhou family.
The Zhou family relied on Zhou Bingyi to find a partner with the leader's daughter, and then began to bully the nearby residents. This was a typical example of sticking one's tail up.
Like our Li Donglai home.
Although Li Donglai became the chief director, won the Nobel Prize, and had a much higher status than Zhou Bingyi, he usually treated the residents of the compound very kindly.
Whether he is a three-year-old child or an old man in his seventies or eighties, Li Donglai never acts like a senior director.
In contrast, it is a matter of judgment.
Thinking of this, Ding Qiunan felt sweet in her heart, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly. She was married to a good husband.
Should we give him ten or eight more children to form a football team?
Just when Ding Qiunan was enjoying a bright future, there was a knock in the house.
"Tuk Tuk"
"Donglai, are you at home?"
Hearing Yan Bugui's voice, Ding Qiunan seemed a little flustered. If someone saw her like this, they would definitely see the clues.
She wanted to stand up and put on her clothes, but the severe pain coming from her body made her take a breath.
Li Donglai patted her arm and said with a smile: "It's okay, you hide in the room, I'll go see Yan Bugui."
"Then you must not let him enter the house, it will be embarrassing." Although Ding Qiunan has been married for so many years, sometimes she still acts like a little girl.
However, this is what Li Donglai likes about her.
After putting on his clothes and getting out of bed, and closing the door to the back room, Li Donglai opened the door.
Seeing Yan Bugui, Li Donglai couldn't help but rub his eyes.
"Third uncle, what's happened to you recently? Could it be that you were caught and imprisoned for stealing from someone else's house?"
At this time, Yan Bugui had lost a lot of weight, his forehead was covered with wrinkles, his originally black hair had turned gray, and his body was slightly bent, like a little old man.
The only thing that remains unchanged is the pair of blinking little eyes under the tortoise shell frames, with light bursting out from them all the time.
Yan Bugui is indeed having a hard time these days.
Although with Li Donglai's help, the Yan family saw through Zhang Hongling's conspiracy in time and did not have the negative consequences of raising a son for someone else.
But the news about Yan Jiecheng becoming a receiver still spread.
Tumo stars can drown people these days.
Yan Bugui is a teacher and the third uncle of the courtyard. He is a man of culture and pays more attention to face than ordinary people.
As a result, something embarrassing happened at home.
Amid the pointing fingers of the crowd, Yan Bugui wished he could find a rope and kill himself.
but.
He knew he couldn't fall.
Now that Yan Jiecheng is single again, he still has to get married and continue the family lineage of the Yan family.
However, Chong Yan Jie Cheng has such a bad reputation, who would introduce the girl to Yan Jie Cheng!
Yan Bugui feels haggard now.
I couldn't eat well and couldn't sleep well, so I naturally lost weight.
Of course, these things are scandals at home and are not worthy of public comment.
Of course Yan Bugui couldn't say this in front of Li Donglai.
He came here today because he had something more important to do.
"Master, Banggeng is getting married!"
One sentence made Li Donglai completely confused.
How long has it been since he left the capital? Banggeng is about to get married, which is really fast.
"Whose girl is this?"
"It is said that the woman has no parents and her name is Huang Yanling."
Huang Yanling... Isn't this the former girlfriend of Bangge, the one who used to fool around with the three brothers of the Ma family?
Huang Yanling originally wanted to stage a fairy dance to deal with Li Donglai.
Afterwards, Li Donglai entrusted Team Liu to investigate Huang Yanling's situation.
Unexpectedly, Banggeng was so hungry that he married a broken shoe.
Originally, if it were another girl, Li Donglai wouldn't be able to watch the girl jump into the fire pit, and would definitely give a warning.
But if it were Huang Yanling, this would not be necessary.
She and Banggeng are like a turtle and a bastard, no one should dislike the other.
"Okay, I understand, do you have anything else?"
"Of course there is something!" Yan Bugui said impatiently: "Master, Qin Huairu is planning to hold a wedding for them this weekend and requires each household to submit a gift of ten yuan."
"Ten yuan? What the hell?" Li Donglai couldn't help but rub his ears.
How can we find talented people in this courtyard? Everyone is trying to steal from others.
No, that's not right.
This time it’s no longer about harvesting wool, it’s simply about drinking blood.
Ten yuan is enough to equal half a month's salary of the previous worker.
"No one will pay this much money, right?"
"...I handed over most of them." Yan Bugui lowered his head in shame.
Qin Huairu was playing tricks under his nose. If Li Donglai investigates, he will also be responsible.
Li Donglai didn't care to blame Yan Bugui at this time and quickly asked what happened.
"Qin Huairu went from house to house..."
Yan Bugui told Qin Huairu's sexy tricks in detail.
Li Donglai was amazed when he heard this.
Qin Huairu was able to take money out of the residents' pockets with just a few words, which was a talent.
If he were in later generations, he would definitely be a big internet celebrity. In this era, it is really a pity.
Of course.
We, Li Donglai, cannot let this happen.
After pondering for a moment, Li Donglai waved to Yan Bugui and whispered a few words into his ear.
Yan Bugui's eyes widened little by little: "Master, isn't this inappropriate? Qin Huairu is also our neighbor after all. According to our age, I want to call Jia Zhang's sister-in-law. If this is done, the Jia family
It might be over. Should we give her a chance?"
Li Donglai said with a straight face: "When Qin Huairu defrauded the residents of money, why didn't they want to give the residents a chance?"
