The fierce flowing fire was baking the earth, and even the air was distorting.
The green trees on the street were sickly, and the wilted and curled leaves seemed about to fall off at any time.
However, the summer cicadas chirped happily, and their crisp chirps one after another intertwined into a noisy symphony, disturbing the dreams of countless people.
Director Chu is particularly busy today.
As soon as he arrived at the unit in the morning, he was notified and ran to the office to hold a mobilization meeting. After returning at about ten o'clock, he went to the street office to hold a mobilization meeting. When he returned to the store, he held a small meeting for the employees.
The meeting conveyed the theme spirit of the next two meetings.
He has been in this state during this period. He has a short meeting every three days and a long meeting at five o'clock. He is bored to death.
"This damn weather is too hot!"
Chu Heng, who had just finished eating, was sweating heavily. He sat next to his wife with a cattail leaf fan and fanned vigorously. However, the wind was very hot. Although it could bring some coolness, the effect was limited.
"It's going to be so hot!"
Ni Yinghong, who was covered in sweat, lay weakly on the chair, with a small white hand constantly pulling the skirt of her chest that was soaked with sweat, in order to get more coolness.
She has been afraid of heat since she was a child, and it became even more so after she got married. She would sweat non-stop when the temperature was slightly higher, and she didn't know if it was due to kidney deficiency.
Chu Heng looked at the scenery that was revealed from time to time under the girl's collar, but at this moment, his heart felt calm.
In this kind of weather, he really couldn't think of anything.
After-dinner desserts, afternoon flower viewing, etc. are placed in front of you without even touching them!
After a while, Chu Heng couldn't bear the heat anymore. He thought for a while and said to his wife: "I can't do it anymore. Let's buy some popsicles to eat."
"Sure, buy more and give Aunt Sun and the others a share."
Ni Yinghong readily agreed and quickly reached into her pocket. After rummaging through it for a while, she looked at the man with a grimace and said, "I put the money in the pair of pants you tore last night. When I changed my pants in the morning,
Forgot to take it out!"
"It's okay, I have it here." Chu Heng quickly took out five dollars from his pocket, stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Ni Yinghong sat up suddenly, stared at her big eyes, and asked with a tight mouth: "Where did you get this money? Don't I give you two yuan as pocket money this month?"
The girl has always been very strict about the family's finances. In addition to buying three large front doors for the man, she only gives two yuan of pocket money every month. If there are other expenses, she needs to apply for them again. She will only give them if she thinks they are reasonable.
Otherwise, it’s impossible. Her family is such a spendthrift. If you have ten dollars, you’ll spend ten dollars, and if you have five dollars, you’ll spend five dollars, without giving you any leftovers!
So we have to keep strict control, otherwise our life will not be good!
The sudden extra five dollars in the man's pocket at this time shows that he has other sources of income, so he must find them quickly and stop the loss in time.
Chu Heng was also confused by the heat and forgot about this. He looked at his daughter-in-law who was trying hard to be more serious with a small face, but she became more lovely. After thinking about it, he said nonsense: "This Xu Damao...
Yes, didn't he ask me to do something for him yesterday? This money was for running errands."
"I've already given you something, why are you still collecting money? And, why didn't you give me this money yesterday?" Ni Yinghong raised her eyebrows and asked angrily, "Is there any more?"
"You came back too late yesterday, I forgot about it." Chu Heng smiled and dug into his pocket, took out a sheet of ten yuan and a sheet of five yuan and handed them to his wife, saying: "That's it."
Telling one lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
Just like now, if he said that he only had five yuan for running errands, even a fool would not believe it, so he could only take out some money and collect twenty yuan. This amount was just right, covering more than half a month's salary for ordinary people.
, which is a lot of money.
When Ni Yinghong saw this, she didn't doubt him. After reaching out to take the fifteen yuan, she turned into a strict mother again and lectured the man nonchalantly: "In the future, when people ask you for help, you can't accept their money, you know? This is
Make a mistake!"
"Oh, I understand." Chu Heng showed an open-minded attitude, and then said: "Then I went to buy popsicles?"
"Go ahead." Ni Yinghong nodded. Considering his man's prodigal nature, he couldn't help but tell her, "Just buy ice bricks, don't buy too good ones."
"Got it!" Chu Heng ran out of the office without looking back.
Needless to say, his little Ni is quite decent when he is serious, a bit like a prosecutor!
Teachers too...
How about getting two sets of clothes one day?
In the midst of random thoughts, the dog came to the front room. At this time, the aunts had no intention of chatting and were huddled in the corner and taking a nap. Guo Xia and Lian Qing were lying facelessly on the ground covered with cloth bags.
Like two dogs...
Chu Heng walked slowly to the door and looked up at the fireball that was about to fall hanging in the blue sky. He really didn't want to expose himself to the scorching sun.
So Director Chu showed off his official authority and turned to Lian Qing and shouted: "Qingzi, Xiazi, you two take the money and buy some popsicles to cool down for everyone."
"coming!"
When they heard that they were going to buy popsicles, Lian Qing and the others became very active and hurriedly got up from the ground and ran to him.
After Guo Xia took the money, he asked Director Chu: "Brother, how many do you want to buy?"
"Count how many people there are, two ice bricks per person." Chu Heng waved his hand proudly. His wife only said to buy ice bricks, but not the quantity.
Hey, we've got a bug again!
Daesang Heng is so wild!
Not long after, brothers Lian Qing came back with eighteen popsicles that were still cold.
Amidst the gratitude of the aunts as if they had saved their lives, Chu Heng took the remaining four dollars, sixty-four cents and his own four popsicles, and walked back to the office.
"Eat quickly, eat ice cold."
Chu Heng put the remaining money and two popsicles into his wife's hand, and then enjoyed his two popsicles.
It doesn't have any special taste, it just has a little bit of sugar, so it has a little bit of sweetness.
It’s only two cents, what more do you want?
Just eat it and that’s it!
After eating two popsicles in one go, the couple finally felt better, and then they began to feel sleepy again, and they fell asleep in a daze.
At around two o'clock, Chu Heng woke up from the heat. He wiped the oil and sweat from his face, looked up at his wife, and saw that she was still sleeping, so he didn't disturb her and went to the kitchen to wash his face.
, he took his bag and wandered out of the unit.
The heat outside has subsided a bit, but it's still very hot.
Chu Heng pedaled his bicycle hard all the way, choosing places with shadows to walk. The strong wind blowing in front of him dried the sweat on his body and made him feel much better.
Twenty minutes later, he finally arrived at the steel rolling mill.
He went downstairs to the office building and locked the car, then quickly got in through the door.
By chance, as soon as Chu Heng climbed up to the second floor, he bumped into the Qin sisters chatting with someone at the top of the stairs.
When he was in the courtyard, he didn't talk to Qin Huairu, but in front of outsiders, he couldn't just ignore it, so he waved and greeted with a smile: "Jingru, Sister Qin, what are you talking about?"
