At around eight o'clock in the night, a bright moon hung high on the dark curtain, like a silver plate or a millstone, big and round.
"Tu tu tu tu!"
Under the cover of night, Chu Heng drove the Volga back to Banchang Alley.
After setting the car up against the courtyard wall, he hurriedly got out of the car, trotted out of the trunk, opened the door, took off his coat, and covered Chu Zhecheng, who was sleeping soundly in his mother's arms, for him.
Blocking the cold wind that came in, he immediately took the child from his wife's hand, walked quickly to the door, opened the door, and hurried to the backyard.
Ni Yinghong followed closely with a bag of apples given to her by her second uncle.
After a while.
Chu Heng carried the child to the backyard, stood outside Yang Guizhi's door and shouted to the brightly lit main room: "Sister Guizhi."
"Hey, here it comes!"
Yang Guizhi, who was watching TV in the main room, heard the sound and hurriedly got up and came out. She saw him holding the child in his arms and walked over quickly: "Is the child asleep?"
"I was too tired from playing at my second uncle's place. I went to sleep in the car and sweated all over. You can wipe it off for him later." Ni Yinghong warned.
"Hey, give it to me quickly. You're already sweating. What are you doing here? It's so cold. What should you do if your child is freezing?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Guizhi hurriedly snatched Chu Zhecheng, who was sleeping soundly, and quickly entered her room.
Chu Zhecheng was brought up by her and she basically treated him as her own. She usually treated him more favorably than Ni Yinghong.
After sending the child away, the couple looked at each other and Chu Heng asked: "Watch TV for a while, or go back to the house to rest?"
"I won't watch TV anymore. There are no good programs today." Ni Yinghong, who was full but couldn't satisfy her craving yesterday, did not hesitate to abandon her favorite TV set and directly took her husband back to the bedroom.
Then the two of them took the toiletries into the bathroom together. They finished washing and returned to the bedroom without using them for ten minutes.
After a while, the lights in the room went out, and the sound of the canopy bed shaking could be heard in the room.
"Crunch!"
It's extremely wobbly as soon as it comes up. If you compare it with a five-speed car, it's almost fourth gear.
In the hall.
Qin Jingru and her eldest cousin, who were watching TV enthusiastically, soon noticed the sound of a rocking bed coming from next door.
"..."
The two sisters fell silent on the spot.
"Bah, shameless! These two are really good, and they only did that when they came back!"
Duan Fengchun blushed and spat, then stood up angrily, turned around and walked out: "You can watch it, I won't watch it."
Suddenly Qin Jingru was the only one left in the room.
The little girl sat in a chair in a daze, listening to the faint sound of the rocking bed in her ears, and couldn't help but imagine herself in fourth gear later in the night.
Now she couldn't leave even if she wanted to.
Legs are weak.
…………
The next day.
The temperature dropped sharply in the middle of the night yesterday, and there was a light snowfall in the city. It was not heavy, and it covered the ground and buildings in a thin layer, as if it had covered the whole city with a layer of delicious icing.
This is the first snow since the beginning of winter in Sijiu City. Because the temperature is not low enough, it will definitely not stay and will melt away when the sun comes out, so the Chu Heng family did not sweep it.
"Oh, it's snowing."
At around seven o'clock, Chu Heng, who had been working hard all night, ran out of the house with washing tools, glanced at the silvery white in the yard, and hurried to the bathroom.
After going to the toilet and washing up, he went to the kitchen to eat something to deal with the problem, then packed up his bag and left the house, driving out of Banchang Hutong.
After arriving at the Grain Management Office, Chu Heng immediately called all the leaders of the office together and held a report meeting. He had a detailed understanding of the situation in the office during his absence and the government decrees and policies issued by the superiors.
spirit and made arrangements for some of the next work.
Then he returned to the office to deal with the pile of work.
After entering the room, he first made tea, smoked a cigarette and rested for a while. Then Chu Heng took out a pen from his jacket pocket and took one from the thick pile of reports and application documents on the table, preparing for approval.
"Dong dong dong!"
At this moment, there was a knock on the office door.
"Come in."
Chu Heng put down his pen and looked towards the door.
"Squeak."
Su Chen opened the door and walked in, with a smile on his chubby round face: "Chu Suo, I want to set up a table at the guest house for you at noon. Please give me a favor."
"Okay, I won't go if someone is treating me." Chu Heng agreed happily.
"Okay, you're busy, I'll go out first."
Su Chen wiped himself and walked out.
Chu Heng picked up the pen again and started working, focused and serious.
Just like that, time came to noon in a blink of an eye.
Chu Heng, who had been busy all morning, put down his pen tiredly, waved his hand, picked up the cold teapot, took a sip of tea, and took out a cigarette to light it.
When he finished smoking, Su Chen happened to knock on the door and asked him to go to dinner.
"It's almost time, let's go, Chu Suo?"
"Okay, I happen to be hungry. Let's go."
Chu Heng packed up his things, carried his bag and followed him out of the office, all the way downstairs.
At this time, Ding Antai, Zhou Xueyang, the deputy director, the section chief and other leaders of the institute were already waiting downstairs. After he came down, most people exchanged a few words and quickly set off towards the guest house.
Chu Heng drove the Volga, and in the car sat Su Chen, Ding Antai, and Huang Mingfeng.
The car was speeding along, and the street scene was quickly retreating.
Soon the four of them arrived at the guest house first.
Qiu Rong had already received the news and knew that they were coming for dinner, so he was waiting at the door early.
As soon as the car stopped, he walked up quickly, shook hands with them one by one with a smile on his face, and said to Chu Heng, "When did you come back, Chu Suo."
"I just came back a while ago." Chu Heng patted his belly and joked: "Good guy, your belly is getting bigger and bigger, triplets, right?"
"Hey, I don't want to get fat, but damn it, I gain weight even when I drink cold water, and my blood pressure is also rising." Qiu Rong touched his belly in distress.
"Hurry up and take it easy, Su Chen too, otherwise be careful of getting sick one day. Then your wife will find a new man, spend your money, beat your children, sleep in your house, and you will be in a panic." Chu Heng reminded kindly.
.
"Definitely."
"We will lose weight later."
The two of them didn't take it seriously.
How much do we eat to gain so much weight? We lose weight only if there is something wrong with us!
Seeing this, Chu Heng stopped trying to persuade him. After chatting for a few more words, he followed Su Chen into the guest house and went to the box reserved in advance.
After sitting down, Chu Heng took out his cigarette and spread it around, then asked Su Chen: "How will the business of the guest house be without me?"
"It's great." Su Chen said with excitement: "The hotel is full every day, no one I know to say hello, it's hard to get in, and the restaurant and bathhouse are no exception. Except when it's windy or raining, it's basically the same at other times.
It’s overcrowded, and now it’s basically more than 500 net wins a day.”
"Not bad, not bad."
Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction, then turned to look at Su Chen, and said: "Old Su, the institute is rich this time. We should give out more benefits during the Chinese New Year. You can talk to your friends later and get more benefits when the time comes.
share.”
"Ah? Why don't we return the famine?" Su Chen asked in surprise.
"The creditors and creditors are not worried about the famine thing. Why are you worrying about it?" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at him and said: "What? You don't agree? Then I will talk to the employees later and say Su
I don’t want to give more benefits to comrades just to see if they don’t dig up your ancestral graves!”
