One night passed, and when I woke up in the morning, the ground was covered with a layer of white frost, and the ground in the yard was covered with clusters of white dots, which made a crunching sound when stepped on.
Even the bicycles in the yard were covered in white spots and felt cold to the touch.
After washing his face and brushing his teeth, Yang Xiaotao packed up his car and went out on his bike after breakfast, heading to Hongxing Elementary School.
At the same time, Jia Dongxu also went out with two eggs in his arms. They also had a heavy task today. He had to go and watch in person for the seven or eight houses that wanted to install heating furnaces.
When it comes to making money, you can't be careless.
Silly Zhu went out, looked at Qin Huairu who was seeing Jia Dongxu off, and quickly said hello, but Qin Huairu went home without even looking at him.
Obviously, I'm still worried about what happened last night.
When Sha Zhu saw Qin Huairu ignoring him, he felt empty in his heart and regretted his rashness last night.
After leaving the courtyard, Yang Xiaotao came to the school gate first, and others arrived one after another.
Finally, Zhou Kui and others used a car to pull the heater over. Wang Fa and Liu Guogang also came over. At first glance, there were more than ten people.
Yang Xiaotao came to the school guard office and explained his purpose.
The comrade watching the door was dressed in military green and had a gun holster on his waist, but he didn't know if there was anyone inside.
They had already received notice from the school, and had also met Yang Xiaotao. The school was on holiday at this time, and there were only a few teachers, so they were allowed to enter the school after an inspection.
After the old principal learned about this, he rushed over with seven or eight school teachers. After everyone talked, they started to work.
Yang Xiaotao led several people to check the classroom situation and discussed how to manage and arrange it.
Several people discussed it, and finally Yang Xiaotao began to make arrangements, "Kuizi, take someone to take a look at the pipe and pay attention to the wall."
"good!"
"Guo Gang, you and Liu Fuwei brothers have experience, go upstairs and choose a location..."
"clear!"
"Brother Wang, if you don't have enough pipes, go back to the rolling mill and move them. You will arrange the manpower later."
"Don't worry, we are well prepared this time."
…
Yang Xiaotao settled the matter and went to the east to start installing the heating furnace.
First, the location of the water tank was selected, then several people worked together to fix the water tank, and then began to install the stove.
This stove was specially built by Yang Xiaotao. It can place nine briquettes at a time and has strong firepower.
A few people worked hard for a long time and finally completed a set of heating stoves. Zhou Kui and others had already led people to drill the holes and were waiting to install them.
Time was tight and no one could take a break, so everyone got back to work again.
Ran family, Ran Qiuye drove the car to the door.
Ran Hongbing, who was playing in the yard, saw her eldest sister coming back and quickly ran into the house and shouted.
Ran Xinrui also ran out quickly.
"Sister, my brother-in-law installed a stove, so it's warm!"
Ran Qiuye smiled and led her sister back to the house.
She also knew about Yang Xiaotao's installation of the heater, but she was busy with work and didn't come back to tell her.
When I walked into the house, I felt warm. My mother was talking to her neighbor Aunt Li on the kang. When she heard that Ran Qiuye was back, Aunt Li hurriedly came over to take a look.
"This child is really blessed. Look at this heater, it's amazing!"
Aunt Li smiled and praised Ran Qiuye, but she praised Yang Xiaotao more. She turned to Ran's mother and said, "This stove may be a bit expensive, but it's really useful."
"We pressed a piece of it yesterday, and there was still fire this morning. Even if the coal is extinguished overnight, it can still be used for another half day. It saves money."
"My little bastard kicked off the quilt in the middle of the night. This stove is really good."
Aunt Li praised her, feeling even more proud.
Previously, people in their yard inquired about installing a stove, but they all said it was out of stock, and many families were not listed.
But later, the uncle of the Ran family took action, and three households were settled in the compound at once, which made people in other compounds jealous.
"Qiuye, thank you to your man. Thank him properly for your aunt. When you are free, come to your aunt's house for dinner."
"Auntie, we are all neighbors. If you say these things, you will be ignored."
Ran Qiuye was proud in her heart but still humble on her face.
"Haha, you kid has been the best in our courtyard since you were a kid..."
vomit…
Before Aunt Li could finish speaking, Ran Qiuye suddenly turned around, covered her mouth and retched, leaving both of them stunned.
Ran's mother hurriedly stepped forward to ask what was going on, but Aunt Li looked at Ran Qiuye thoughtfully.
"Mom, I'm going to ask questions when I come back this time."
"Since the past two days, I have been feeling nauseous and eating normally. There is nothing else but nausea and I can't vomit."
Ran Qiuye said solemnly.
After hearing this, Ran's mother had an idea in her mind, but before she could speak, Aunt Li became even more excited.
"Qiuye, aunt asked you, did the good things last month come about?"
Ran Qiuye was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, and couldn't help but cover his stomach with his palms.
"Qiuye, tell me quickly!"
Ran's mother also asked anxiously.
"I didn't come. I thought I was tired from work and was delayed..."
Ran Qiuye whispered, because nothing good happened during this period, she also had some mischief with Yang Xiaotao. Now thinking about it, she was a little scared, not to mention the dark knot in the bead, and Yang Xiaotao...
His face turned red and he didn't know whether he should say anything.
"Oh, I'll just take a look!"
"Sister, it's a happy event, I'd like to congratulate you first!"
Aunt Li immediately laughed, and Ran's mother looked at Ran Qiuye with satisfaction.
He is the only one in Yang Xiaotao's family. If this child comes out, he will have an explanation for the old Yang family.
"You two said, I will go back, Qiuye, and take good care of yourself."
"Listen to what Auntie said, your family is very capable. If you give birth to the child well, then everyone will..."
As Aunt Li raised her eyebrows, Ran Qiuye nodded silently.
Although she knew that Yang Xiaotao was not the kind of person who flirted with women, let alone someone who abandoned his wife and children after becoming rich.
But if there is a child, the marriage will be stronger.
Aunt Li left, and Ran's mother quickly asked Ran Qiuye to sit down and sent the two little ones out.
"Qiuye, when did you tell mom what happened? How did your body react?"
"Um, I don't know the specific time. Recently we have... still..."
Ran's mother was angry and funny at the same time.
This young couple doesn't know how to control themselves.
"Mom, is this okay for the child?"
"Why is it okay? You guys are just fooling around. If you don't know, forget it. If you know, you have to be careful."
"This child has just moved in. You should be especially careful in the first three months. I will stop this matter. Do you understand?"
"Oh, I see!"
Ran Qiuye thought, reaching out to touch her belly, as if she could feel the beating inside, and the brilliance of motherhood appeared on her face.
She is finally pregnant and going to be a mother!
The smile blooms like a flower.
It’s around eight o’clock in the evening, Hongxing Primary School.
Yang Xiaotao was now in front of the last row of radiators, looking at Zhou Peng and others.
Listening to the squeaking sound gradually disappearing, Zhou Peng quickly closed the valve the moment the water emerged.
Then he looked to the side and said, "Brother Tao, it's all done."
Yang Xiaotao nodded, and then looked at the old principal.
"Old principal, please go back first. The stove will be burning tonight. We will check if there is any problem here."
The old principal nodded with satisfaction. Today he followed behind to watch.
Especially the perforated downtube, it was not easy, and several people had to wear their hands to get it done.
Even so, it took me a long time to get it done.
The radiator is installed on the down tube at the back, and everything is done neatly, with no oversights.
At the end of the day, I only took a half-hour break during lunch. The rest of the time I was either doing this or busy with that.
"Don't bother, our teacher will be on duty for tonight."
The old principal said, and so did the male teachers behind him.
"Besides, every classroom has a switch. If something goes wrong, just turn it off."
"You have been busy all day. Go back and have a rest."
As the old principal said, Yang Xiaotao looked at the people around him, all of whom looked tired and disgraced, and nodded in agreement.
"Okay, I'll come back tomorrow and solve any problems."
"good."
Yang Xiaotao said goodbye to the old principal and left the school with everyone. He said hello on the way that it was dark at night, so be careful on the road, and everyone went home to rest.
Yang Xiaotao rode his bicycle and walked with Wang Dashan and his son.
It was quiet in Sijiu City. You could only see a group of dim lights in the distance. When you walked over and looked at the next one, it was another dark night.
Even so, the chatter and laughter of a few people dissipated the cold atmosphere, and the journey was smooth, and we soon arrived at the entrance of the alley.
When I walked to the door of the front yard, the lights in Yan Fugui's house were unexpectedly turned on. Normally, in order to save electricity at this time, the third uncle's house had gone to bed early. If he stayed up for a while, something might have happened.
Yang Xiaotao ignored the others and walked straight to the middle courtyard.
"Dad, do you remember this accurately?"
Yan Jiecheng looked at the notebook recorded by Yan Fugui. He had been working with Jia Dongxu for more than a week. These days, he had to work early and late at night.
"Clearly, plainly, exactly."
Yan Fugui pointed to the notebook on the table, "I will report the situation when I come back every day. I will remember it for you."
Yan Fugui said proudly, they had agreed that the installation fee would be one yuan.
To be honest, this dollar is quite a bit much.
But there is no way, workers also need to eat, right?
The extra installation fee can be considered as making up for the gap in other materials.
"I said old man, is that right? In just a few days, you've already earned almost fifty?"
The third aunt was surprised and even Yu Li couldn't believe it.
"Hey, I don't know!"
Yan Fugui picked up the teapot and took a sip of cold water, "The installation fee will be divided between the three of them. A total of 143 sets have been installed these days, and the average is only forty-seven yuan and seventy cents!"
"You think it's a lot, but actually this is just a small head! The real big head is with Jia Dongxu!"
Yan Fugui said, everyone in the room was curious, and then he tugged on his fingers to teach some unsatisfactory sons.
"Jia Dongxu is the boss when it comes to purchasing materials. Who knows if this is true or not? Also, the materials are different..."
"Also, the moral model of our college has said that there is no money for just helping. Naturally, the money will be given to Jia Dongxu and Liu Haizhong. Can they take less?"
After hearing this, Yan Jiecheng suddenly realized that there are so many ways to do business!
"Old man, I heard that Jia Dongxu has built a lot of heating stoves. Do you think you can make more money if you speed up the installation?"
The third aunt said beside her.
Yan Fugui suddenly slapped the table, "Yes, one set costs one yuan, but if one person completes one set, wouldn't that mean he earns one yuan? There is no need to divide it among three people. Oh my, I should have thought of it earlier!
"
Yan Fugui was annoyed, as several people around him were stunned and couldn't understand what he meant.
"Dad, what are you talking about!"
"Don't worry about it. Let me ask you, can you do the work of installing the stove yourself?"
"Isn't this good?"
"What does it mean to be unprofessional!"
"It's just that I can't pretend to be alone..."
Yan Jiecheng whispered, a first-level fitter is also a fitter, and there are some parts that he and a layman cannot understand at a glance.
After Yan Fugui heard this, he suddenly became speechless, and several people looked at each other.
