When they were halfway through the journey, Ni's mother began to regret her impulse.
But she didn't say anything, she just endured it!
But the regretful sighs that came out of her mouth from time to time betrayed her heart.
Hey, why do you think I bought those old things?
Pumpkin is not a rare thing, but it's so heavy and weighs so much that you shouldn't buy it!
And the cabbage, and the bell peppers, and, and...
After thinking about it, Mother Ni turned her head to look at her two sons and daughter who were holding delicious snacks and eating them. She was instantly angry. She stared at them and scolded: "Eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat, you two useless snacks!"
The siblings looked confused.
what happens?
Are we eating louder?
Or is the posture of opening your mouth wrong?
Chu Heng and Weng's son-in-law, who had been chatting with Zhang Huan earlier, looked at each other and closed their mouths in a tacit understanding. One looked at the scenery and the other drove, not daring to take a breath.
In this depressing atmosphere, the car quickly arrived at the Ni family compound.
After parking the car, a group of people ran into the hospital carrying their belongings, braving the blowing sand.
By the time he returned to Ni's house, Chu Heng's nose and eyes were almost blocked.
"You're back, hurry up and wash up!"
Xiao Ni, who had been worried about them, quickly came up to greet them.
"Bah, the storm in the sand city today is quite big!"
Chu Heng casually put the things at his feet, spit out the sand particles in his mouth, then took the towel handed by his wife and wiped the dust off his body.
The same is true for Father Ni and others.
After everything was cleaned up, the two little ones went to the small kitchen with their mother and helped her pack the meat and vegetables she brought back. Father Ni then turned around and left the house to show off to his old friends.
"Let me tell you, this car is great! It's so comfortable to sit in!"
"Did you see the sandstorm outside?"
"I was in the car with my wife, and I wasn't bragging at all..."
…
evening.
The wind and sand outside still showed no sign of letting up, and instead intensified. The strong wind weaved the sand and dust into a curtain that covered the sky and the sun, shrouding the entire Forty-Nine City in it, like a dark night, making it almost impossible to see even one's fingers.
The all-pervasive fine sand, carried by the strong wind, penetrated into the house through the gaps in the doors and windows, covering the ground, tabletop, and bed with a layer of dust.
Ni Yinghua and his brother had cleaned up their front feet several times, but as soon as they finished wiping their front feet, sand and dust flew in from their back feet, and they couldn't clean it up no matter what.
"Crack!"
Ni's mother, who had finished cooking, stretched out her hand and pulled open the light cord hanging on the east wall of the main room that had been used for an unknown period of time and had turned black and shiny.
The electric lamp hanging on the roof turned on and the dim light filled the whole room instantly.
She stood at the door, looking at the flying sand and dust outside through the glass window, and said with a worried look: "Hey, it's getting bigger and bigger. I don't know when Ni Chen and his wife will be back."
"Squeak!"
As if telepathically, Chu Heng, who was hiding in the east room to rest, opened the door and walked out, saying: "I think this sandstorm won't stop for a while. I'll go pick up my elder brother, sister-in-law and the others."
After saying that, without waiting for Ni's mother to reply, he turned to his brother-in-law who was doing homework in Ni's father's room and shouted: "Ni Zhen, come with me to pick up your eldest brother and sister-in-law."
He has never been to his sister-in-law's unit, so he needs a guide to guide him.
"Coming!"
Ni Zhen now obeyed his brother-in-law's advice. Hearing this, he quickly put down his pen and trotted out of the house.
Immediately, the two of them found gauze scarves and masks and prepared to set off.
Before they were ready, Ni's mother's joyful cry suddenly sounded in their ears.
"You two don't have to go, we are back!"
"Squeak!"
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and Ni Chen and his wife, who were covered in dust and looked like clay figures, rushed in.
"What the hell, it was fine in the morning, but there was a sandstorm in the afternoon."
As soon as the sister-in-law entered the house, she started shouting, stamping her feet, shaking her body, and dust fell on the floor. Her charming and fair face had now turned gray.
Just like the newly unearthed terracotta warriors and horses...
At this time, they didn't care about being polite anymore. The couple hurriedly said hello to Chu Heng, then hurried back to the house and scrubbed themselves.
After a long while, they changed their clothes and came out.
My sister-in-law, who had just been scrubbed with hot water, was hydrated, and her charming face was like a peach, with an attractive pink color, which made her look particularly delicious.
When Ni Chen came out, he went straight to Chu Heng enthusiastically. After the two chatted about work matters for a while, they started eating soon.
Because of Ni's mother's indulgence, today's dishes are particularly rich.
There are chicken, fish, and braised pork, and it also comes with three stir-fried dishes, which is just like Chinese New Year.
In order to reward his good uncle, Ni's father specially took out the Maotai that he had been collecting for more than half a year.
Well, this wine was given to him by his uncle when he came to visit...
"Come on, Chu Heng, come on!"
After a lively drinking session.
Ni Chen, who was a little tipsy, poured wine for his brother-in-law diligently, and said with uncontrollable joy on his face: "Let me tell you, my promotion to deputy director is confirmed!"
"Hey, then we have to do one!" Chu Heng picked up the small wine cup with a smile, touched it with his uncle and father-in-law one by one, raised his head and drank the wine in the cup, feeling not very surprised by this.
.
The time, place and people are favorable.
It won't be a problem if you throw a dog over there.
If Ni Chen can't even get up like this, he might as well go home and eat cornstarch!
Finished a glass of wine.
Chu Heng picked up the wine bottle and was about to pour wine for everyone when there was a sudden knock on the door outside.
"Dong dong dong!"
"Is Director Ni at home?"
"Who is it? Come here now!"
Everyone turned back to look at the dark and windy sky outside, curious about the person coming.
"I'll open the door!"
As the youngest one on the table, Ni Zhen put down his chopsticks and ran to open the door.
Because of the strong wind, he didn't dare to open the door too big, so he opened a crack that only allowed one person to come in. Immediately, he saw a man who wrapped himself tightly got in, and Ni Zhen closed the door immediately.
The man had a mouthpiece on his face, a scarf around his neck, and a gauze on his head. He was quite well-armed.
He was also carrying a few things in his hands, including wine, cigarettes, and canned pastries.
The man bowed his waist and looked very reserved. While looking at the people on the table, he said: "I'm sorry to disturb you while eating..."
Halfway through, he suddenly paused again, glanced at Chu Heng in shock, then lowered his head in a panic, put down his things, turned around and was about to leave.
"stop!"
Chu Heng frowned and quickly stood up and took a few steps forward. He grabbed his shoulder with one hand and pulled him back. He grabbed the mask and gauze on his face with the other hand and pulled it off with force.
This person is none other than Wu Jiekai, the stubborn master of the compound who was dealt with by Cen Hao.
"What are you doing here, kid?"
Chu Heng looked at him doubtfully.
"Chu, Mr. Chu..." Wu Jiekai lowered his head with a red face, not daring to look at him: "No...nothing, I just came to visit!"
