Ever since they got married, Chu Heng's wake-up call has become the aroma of the loving breakfast cooked by his wife every day.
Today is no exception.
When the strong smell of stick noodles spread into the east room, Director Chu, who had been working as a noodle for a long time, hurriedly got up.
When he got dressed and came out of the house, his eldest cousin, who had gotten up early, was sitting on the Arhat bed with squinted eyes in a daze. He saw that her eyes were half-open and half-closed, and her face had a strong haggard look, especially the bags under her eyes.
There, it turned out to be a little dark.
Seeing this, Chu Heng immediately guessed that it was caused by not sleeping well, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong, cousin, do you still recognize the bed?"
Although the eldest cousin has a bit of a tough temper, she has never met the eldest girl who opened the way. After hearing this, her face turned red, she opened her mouth and said with a stiff smile: "Ah... yes... it's a bit of a confession."
"I'm going to eat and catch up on my sleep. Anyway, nothing happened." Chu Heng's face showed a true look. After caring about it lightly, he took the basin and went to the well outside to wash up.
When he came back after washing himself, food was already placed on the Eight Immortals table in the main room.
It was rare for my eldest cousin to have breakfast here, so Xiao Ni made it a richer meal, including stick noodle porridge, pure white noodle steamed buns, and some boiled salted duck eggs.
During the meal, the eldest cousin seemed a little abnormal. From time to time, she would glance at Chu Heng and his wife, and her expression was a little weird.
Of course, this did not delay the woman's meal. I don't know if it was because she hadn't eaten well during this period or something else. She just finished four of the steamed buns that Xiao Ni made that were as big as two fists.
Chu Heng, who looked like he couldn't eat anymore after eating two, was stunned for a while.
After everyone at the table had eaten and drank, the young couple packed up and hurried to work. Grandpa also put on a pair of decent clothes without patches and waited for Mr. Liu's car to pick him up to play chess.
The eldest cousin hurriedly went to Ni's house. She had to quickly change into a set of underwear. After that, she had to go to the hospital to change Ni's mother.
…
Nine o'clock.
In the office, Miss Ni was busy working diligently, fiddling with the abacus quickly with one small hand, and there was a loud popping noise in the room.
Director Chu huddled in his seat thoughtfully and drank tea. Anyone who knows him knows that he is holding back bad water again.
"Dong dong dong."
At this time, the door was knocked, and a clear voice sounded from outside the door.
"Brother, sister-in-law, are you here?"
Chu Heng immediately heard that the person who came was Qin Jingru. He hurriedly got up and went to open the door. He saw a fair and tender girl standing outside the door, her pair of weights becoming more and more plump.
She was also holding a large net bag in her hand, which was full of chestnuts.
"Brother, I bought this with a colleague who has relatives in the countryside. I'll give you and my sister-in-law some to try." The girl walked in as she spoke, with a flash of seeing her lover on her face.
The joy afterwards.
"Hey, these chestnuts look pretty good. I'll make some chestnut chicken for dinner tonight." Chu Heng didn't show politeness to her, and took the things over with a smile.
Qin Jingru's current salary is not low, it is more than thirty yuan a month, and he also sends some things from time to time, which is enough for this little money.
And we are all a family, so there is no need to be pretentious.
"Yeah, why did you take so much?" Xiao Ni frowned when he saw the full bag coming in. He took the second room and complained: "Why did you buy this? It's a waste of money. There are old people at home.
It’s small, so there are more places to spend money.”
"It's not a festival, and it didn't cost much. I bought two big bags for only one yuan." The wealthy girl looked like she was thinking nothing, and then she and the big house held hands and chattered.
started chatting.
During this period, the second roommate revealed more than once that he was off work today, and he also secretly glanced at someone who was peeling chestnuts and eating them next to him.
Chu Heng immediately understood that this was a hint that he should build the road, otherwise, the road might become narrower one day.
A pair of plastic best friends chatted for a long time, and it wasn't until after ten o'clock that the girl got up to say goodbye. Chu Heng and his wife even bought some candied fruits such as apricots and candied dates and pastries from the grocery store and brought them back to her.
It's a matter of courtesy.
If someone gives me such a large amount of chestnuts, I have to return the favor, right?
Although we are all a family, we have not made it public after all, so we have to work hard to save face.
After sending away the second house, the couple returned to the house. Ni Yinghong continued to work, while Chu Heng rolled his eyes wildly, thinking about what kind of excuse he should find to leave so that he could go build the road.
Hey, I haven’t seen it for so long, and I don’t know what’s going on with that road. Is it muddy?
After a while, I saw this guy's eyes lit up, and he got up and told his wife that he was going to give gifts.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, Guo Kai's voice sounded from outside.
"Chu Heng, Master Guo is here, and you have to rush out to greet him."
"Why is this grandson here?"
Chu Heng suddenly looked disgusted and quickly put away the tea boxes, lighters and other items on the table.
They are all very pissed off, and like to follow the same path when they come. This is a fine tradition passed down by Wei Chaoying, and according to the old company commander, he also learned from his company commander, and did not know the ancestor.
who is...
Not long after, Guo Xiaozi appeared outside the door. Besides him, there was Hu Zhengwen. Both of them were empty-handed and carrying a lot of things.
Chu Heng immediately beamed, and quickly stood up to take the things from Guo Kai's hand: "Oh my, this kid is so filial. He even knows to give you something to Master Chu during the holidays."
"Fuck! Do you believe I'm going to throw this thing out?" Guo Kai rolled his eyes at him, turned to look at Ni Yinghong who had just stood up, and said with a smile: "Sister-in-law is here too."
"Sister-in-law." Hu Zhengwen on the side also said hello quickly.
"well."
Ni Yinghong smiled and nodded, then went to the small kitchen and brought two stools back, and poured tea for the two of them.
The few of them had a brief chat about home affairs and made an appointment to visit the old company commander's house tomorrow. Guo Kai and Hu Zhengwen got up and left.
Chu Heng and his wife hurriedly saw each other off.
When they cleared the door of the shop, Hu Zhengwen patted his head and turned to Chu Heng and the others and said: "Squad leader, your family will not buy coal this year. I am now driving a car with my master and often go to Mentougou Qianjuntai to talk to people in the mine."
He's quite familiar. I'll pull half a car for you later."
Qianjuntai Coal Mine is located in the southeast of MTG District, only 60 kilometers away from Beijing District. It is one of the three major mining areas of Muchengjian Coal Mine in western Beijing. It was completed and put into operation in the 1950s. It has always been famous for the production of high-quality smokeless coal. It is one of the many coal mines in western Beijing. One of the most industrialized coal mines. Later products are even exported to international markets such as Japan, South Korea, and Brazil.
When Chu Heng heard that he had free coal, he was naturally not happy. He smiled and nodded and said, "Then I'll wait for you to give it to me. We won't keep the money saved. I'll let your sister-in-law make a profit then." Good food, let’s have a drink.”
"Then you need to cook more vegetables. Half a truck of coal is a lot of money." Guo Kai said with a smile.
