The next day, the sky was overcast with rain and snow.
Yang Xiaotao heard the sound of a spatula in the house, woke up in confusion, stretched out his hand, and found nothing around him.
"Did I bother you?"
Ran Qiuye walked over slowly, "What time did you come back last night?"
Ran Qiuye got up early, made a meal and handed Yang Xiaotao a hot towel, "Have you eaten?"
"It's ten o'clock when we get home. We had dinner at the textile factory."
Yang Xiaotao took the towel and wiped his face, then walked to Ran Qiuye and asked, "Has this little guy been honest recently?"
Ran Qiuye stretched out his hand to touch his bulging belly, "How long has it been? He's still a little guy."
"But my morning sickness has definitely gotten better lately."
Yang Xiaotao stretched out his hand and touched it, "Look, this kid just needs to be dealt with. He needs to be educated with a stick to be honest. If he makes trouble in the future, he will continue to be educated with a stick, haha..."
Ran Qiuye heard something in the words, and when she thought of something, her ears turned red, "What nonsense are you talking about? It's not serious."
"Wash your hands and eat quickly."
"okay!"
After eating, Yang Xiaotao went to the yard to carry two buckets of water. Fetching water was a troublesome task.
I didn't think it before, but now that Ran Qiuye is pregnant, getting water is no longer a trivial matter.
Yang Xiaotao kept this matter in mind and waited for time to solve it. When he met Wang Dashan and others, he said hello and talked about the heating stove. Wang Jun made a lot of money, and together with several boys in the courtyard
Young Man also followed behind and learned how to install a heater, and became a vague leader.
When I got home, I got dressed and went to the steel rolling mill.
Along the way, I met many acquaintances and remembered that today is the day of assessment, and wages are expected to be paid in the afternoon.
Paying wages is good, but as for assessment, the last time I asked Xu Yuanshan, I just asked myself to wait.
After all, the steel rolling mill cannot make the final decision regarding the engineers, so they have to listen to their superiors.
Therefore, this assessment has nothing to do with me.
After arriving at the steel rolling mill, Yang Xiaotao put the car away and walked to the office.
Just when I walked to the front of the building, I happened to bump into a figure, Yu Haitang.
"Gong Yang, morning!"
Yu Haitang smiled and said hello. She heard yesterday that Yang Xiaotao would be working here from now on, not far from their Publicity Department.
I woke up early this morning and watched Yang Xiaotao put away the car before walking to the door. I happened to meet him.
She also knew about Ran Qiuye's pregnancy, and she knew Yang Xiaotao's feelings for Ran Qiuye, but this did not affect her approach to Yang Xiaotao.
In her opinion, building a good relationship with Yang Xiaotao will be very helpful for her future.
Whether it is material life or the future path.
"morning!"
Yang Xiaotao didn't want to talk to her in his heart, but he still understood the principle of not hitting the smiling person, so he just said a perfunctory sentence and prepared to go upstairs.
"Gong Yang, I heard that you came here to work? Let me go and clean it for you."
"No thanks!"
Yang Xiaotao immediately refused and left slowly.
"Humph! It's been a long time!"
Seeing Yang Xiaotao going upstairs, Yu Haitang sneered inwardly and followed him immediately.
Yang Xiaotao walked straight to the office and opened the door. It was still as empty as yesterday.
It's cloudy outside and the room is cold, or the entire office building is like this. I originally thought about installing a heating furnace in my factory, but Secretary Liu stopped me and forced me to go to my brother's unit first.
It's really selfless.
Yang Xiaotao cleaned the table, looked around to see if nothing happened, and then went to the workshop for a walk. The main reason was that the workshop was warm.
At this moment, the assessment in the workshop has begun. Yang Xiaotao was mixed in the crowd and looking at the familiar scene, he could not calm down.
This is the art of eating.
As the morning passed, Wang Fa, Che Wenwei and others did not take part in the assessment and were all busy fixing the heating stove.
On the other hand, Zhou Peng, Xing Jiaqi and others took part in the assessment and successfully passed it, so they were very happy.
During lunch, snowflakes were already falling in the sky, and Yang Xiaotao and others gathered together, creating another lively atmosphere.
After the meal, everyone lined up to be paid.
Yang Xiaotao followed the crowd and heard some news.
Not surprisingly, Jia Dongxu is still a first-level fitter, but this time it’s not that he didn’t pass the exam, but that he didn’t take the exam at all.
Yang Xiaotao probably knew that he was not good enough and didn't want to make any more jokes.
But what Yang Xiaotao didn't expect to understand was that Shazhu didn't even pass the exam.
No matter how much Yang Xiaotao hates Sha Zhu, he has to admit that Sha Zhu’s cooking skills are still pretty good. He didn’t even pass this time. I don’t know what’s wrong with him.
The chef, Silly Zhuba, smacked his lips and looked indifferent, but in his heart, he felt uncomfortable.
Ever since the manager of the back kitchen of the steel rolling mill was changed, he had not paid much attention to the director of the second canteen who was in charge. He usually glared at him when he saw him, and even snarled a few words when he got angry.
As a result, the relationship between the two naturally became tense.
But Si Zhu didn't take it seriously at all. Instead, because there was no one to take care of him, he was able to bring some food home from the factory, which made people in the courtyard envious.
The life was also moist.
But who would have thought that he would not have a share in this assessment.
Revenge, proper revenge!
Silly Zhu knew that this was retaliation from the supervision director, who did not give him a chance to take the assessment at all.
I feel helpless, looking at the busy kitchen is not a good feeling.
"Liu Lan, come here..."
Liu Lan was busy when she heard Si Zhu's voice, wiped her hands and walked in. Si Zhu didn't look at her, but pointed to the lunch box under the table beside her.
Liu Lan saw her and said, "You don't want it anymore?"
"What are you talking about? Take it and take it!"
Silly Zhu waved his hand. Liu Lan looked around and saw that no one was watching. He reached out and touched Silly Zhu's hand, "Thank you! I'll bring the lunch box back to you tomorrow."
Silly Zhu's mind wandered, and then he looked at Liu Lan walking away, thinking of that night in his heart...
Snowflakes kept falling, and by the time I got off work, the ground was already covered with a thick layer of white snow.
Silly Zhu took out another lunch box and kicked it in his arms. In his pocket was his newly paid salary, and he walked out of the factory, swaying happily.
At the gate of the steel rolling mill, several people from the security department saw Si Zhu approaching, but they only glanced at him twice before letting him go.
On the other side, Yang Xiaotao came out a little late, mainly because he forgot to lock the door.
Although there is nothing in the office, it is your own office. If something happens, you will be responsible for it.
So I ran for a while, closed the door, and then rode my bike against the snowflakes and walked quickly to the courtyard.
Outside the entrance of the alley, Sha Zhu put his lunch box in his arms, and then walked home with his head lowered and carrying snowflakes. Yang Xiaotao happened to be passing by. Sha Zhu was startled, his feet slipped, and he sat on the ground.
"What a fool, why don't you look at it..."
Yang Xiaotao turned around after hearing this, and Si Zhu bit the last words in his mouth when he saw it, "That's stupid!"
He cursed in his heart, but he was afraid of Yang Xiaotao.
After Yang Xiaotao left, Shazhu got up and stepped on the ground.
Silly Zhu still felt uneasy. He looked around and saw that there was no one around him. He took off his belt and saw that he was in trouble.
"Pooh!"
After saying that, he put on his belt and wandered towards the courtyard.
As soon as I entered the front yard, I saw the third uncle coming back with a fishing rod, "Third uncle, can you catch fish in such a cold weather?"
Yan Fugui looked at the bulge on Shazhu's chest and knew that this guy had brought leftovers back again.
"Why can't you, the fish won't eat when it's cold?"
Yan Fugui said, taking out two fish from the fish basket, one was as big as a palm and the other was smaller.
"Tsk, I really want you to hug me!"
"Haha, that's our technology..."
Yan Fugui was about to boast when he saw Qin Huairu walking in from outside the alley, carrying a piece of pork in her hand.
This morning, Qin Huairu took advantage of the early morning hours when there were few people around, and secretly took the large iron plate to the scrap iron shop with Jia Zhang. After weighing it, they sold it for 6.4 cents. The two of them were excited.
If this continues, their family will no longer be able to eat meat every day.
Not bad compared to Yang Xiaotao.
After returning home, Bangge was clamoring to eat meat. Jia Zhang also felt that she was rich and had a meal to replenish her body. Moreover, Qin Huairu saw that Jia Dongxu had not eaten much recently, so she also wanted to buy some meat to replenish him.
I just went to Pigeon Market and bought four taels of pork, planning to make a delicious meal at night.
"Sister Qin, this is to improve the food."
Silly Zhu looked at the tightly wrapped Qin Huairu, wearing a big red four-cornered scarf, folded into a triangle and covering her head. She was dressed like a country girl, but she had a special kind of surprise.
Qin Huairu didn't expect to meet these two people at the door. She shrank the meat into her sleeves with some embarrassment, "Ah, this is a bad guy who is clamoring for meat. If you don't buy some, save it."
After saying that, he walked towards the middle courtyard.
Silly Zhu looked at Qin Huairu's disappearing back, swallowed his saliva, and suddenly compared him with Liu Lan, and finally felt that Qin Huairu was better.
"Hmph. If you have money, you can eat meat, but if you don't have money, you can pay back."
Yan Fugui was looking weird. Their family had a lot of foreign debt due to the heating stove. The Jia family was also crying about poverty everywhere, but they had eaten all the pork. Was it because they had no money?
Silly Zhu heard this and said, "Third uncle, I didn't lend it to you, so why are you so worried?"
Yan Fugui's face changed, and he walked into the house with the fish bucket, "Yes, it could be said that I am a generous man."
Silly Zhu curled his lips, Yan Laoxi felt sour again.
Silly Zhu came home. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Yang Xiaotao building a snowman in the yard, with Ran Qiuye directing him. The two of them were talking and laughing. Silly Zhu felt particularly uncomfortable when he saw it.
He is not young anymore, he may even be an older leftover man.
Look at people his age who are getting married and having children. Yang Xiaotao, who is younger than him, is about to have a baby, but he
Looking at the three little snowmen that Yang Xiaotao had piled up, Silhu felt depressed, turned around and walked into the house, slamming the door.
Steel rolling mill, workshop one.
Everyone was getting off work one after another, but Jia Dongxu was still working at his workstation.
The people around him ignored him and left one by one.
Finally, Yi Zhonghai came over to take a look, told him to go home early, and left alone.
Seeing that there was no one else in the workshop, Jia Dongxu resumed his old business.
This time, he will build a bigger iron plate and try to get more money.
By the time he rolled the iron plate with the rolling mill, it was already nine o'clock in the evening.
He quickly found a corner and took off his cotton-padded clothes, and then leaned the iron plate against his back. The cold iron plate made his whole body shiver for a moment. If it wasn't for money, he wouldn't have suffered the crime.
But thinking of my wife's adoring eyes, I could bear this sin.
Wait until the steel plate is close to each other, then tighten it with a belt, and then put on the cotton-padded jacket.
It's just that this time it was a bit too much, and Jia Dongxu almost didn't get up.
I finally stood up while holding on to the equipment, but my body felt that the weight was a bit unbearable. I had to take a breath and rest after taking two steps.
Such a small distance in the workshop took about ten minutes.
If we want to go back, when will it take?
But things have come to this, and he is really not willing to give up.
So, I could only put my hands behind my back, but press hard against the iron plate and use my buttocks to hold it up to prevent the iron plate from falling.
In his view, as long as he passed the security gate, everything would be no problem.
Carefully walking out of the workshop, Jia Dongxu looked at the dark night and the snow blowing from time to time, feeling a little lucky.
In weather like this, people in the security department will probably relax their vigilance.
Taking a deep breath, Jia Dongxu planned to try his best to stay calm and leave the steel rolling mill in one breath.
At the door, the people from the security department saw clearly through the figure that it was Jia Dongxu. After all, this guy was considered a famous person in the factory. After seeing clearly, he didn't bother to talk to him. This made Jia Dongxu's nervous heart suddenly calm down.
Step by step towards the courtyard door, step by step into the darkness.
It wasn't until he was a hundred meters away, vaguely looking at the door in the snow, that Jia Dongxu squatted against the wall, gasped for a while, and then relaxed his body.
After a while, Jia Dongxu regained his strength and continued to stand up.
After walking a hundred or ten meters, we stopped to rest again.
In this way, after walking for more than half an hour, the snow stopped, leaving only the snow that could not be determined in the direction.
Only then did he see the alley entrance of the courtyard.
Phew~~
Taking a deep breath, Jia Dongxu felt that his body had reached its limit. He was cold and hungry. His legs seemed to be supported by a big stone. It was difficult to take steps. The pressure on his back was getting heavier and heavier. He could only move his center of gravity forward.
Move, hunched over, holding on to the wall and walking forward.
"We're almost there, come on."
"I'll have meat to eat when I get home tonight, then."
Bliss
Plop~~
Just as I was thinking about the beautiful girl at home, I accidentally stepped on the ice, my right foot slipped, and then I fell forward.
Just at this moment, the iron plate on my back lost control of my hands and quickly slid down, hitting my waist and pressing directly on my back.
Ah~~~
A miserable howl sounded in the dark night but was drowned by the wind, and then the shouts became weaker and weaker.
