Xu Haiyuan went back to school for vacation classes, while Xu Jinping watched her younger siblings at home, helped her grandma work, and she had to do her homework.
Yang Haoyu's father is in charge of the fertilizer factory. This autumn, the fertilizer factory sold a lot of compound fertilizer, and many people have made reservations in advance for next year.
In addition, foliar fertilizer will be on sale next spring and summer, so don’t we have to rush into production at this time?
Yang Junxian was busy with the fertilizer factory, while Ji Yufeng went to Yangcheng to sell goods.
Although Yang Junxian's parents came back from the city, Yang Haoyu didn't like living at home at all.
So after the holiday, this kid stayed at Xu's house again.
Everyone who knows says that this is simply the biological son of the Xu family, how can he be his godson?
Yang Haoyu didn't care about that, he was very happy living in the Xu family.
In the morning, I went for a run with Xu Jinping to exercise, then came back to have a meal, do some homework, and preview the courses for the next semester.
Then he helped the family burn the boiler, sweep snow, and chop firewood.
When I was free, I led Xu Haiqing and others, together with Sun Yu, Sun Ning, Yang Jianjun and others, to go out to climb the plow slope, skate and so on.
Sometimes, the children do some serious business and go to the back woods to collect firewood.
There were many larches in the woods at the back. These children sharpened their sickles, tied the handles of the sickles to a pole, and then used the sickles to hook the pine branches of the larch trees.
Cut down the larch branches and drag them home, chop them into sections with an axe, and let the wind blow outside for two days to start a fire.
Pine branches contain pine oil, which can ignite fire quickly and can be used for cooking and other things.
Especially in the summer, it is very good to burn pine branches for cooking without having to heat up the kang.
Speaking of which, the Xu family actually has no shortage of firewood.
Every year, the ginseng soil on the mountain and the roots of the trees are digged out, cut up and used as firewood.
There are also timbers on the ground on the mountain, such as column bases, large joint poles, cross arms, fork poles, battens, bow bars, etc., which can be rowed home and used to make fires.
In addition, every year when the Forestry Bureau cleans up the forest at Lengchang, Guo Shouye will have two large carts of wood brought over.
Xu Shiyan asked someone to help him, cut it with a chain saw, then split it and stacked it up.
There are two big piles of firewood in the Xu family's yard, enough to burn for several years.
But the children didn't care about that. When they saw others dragging pine branches to their homes, they thought it was fun and they had to do it.
This work is actually very tiring. The sickle is tied to the pole and the neck is raised to hook the pine branches. After a while, the neck becomes sore and the arms also hurt.
Pulling the branch back, the snow cave in the forest was quite deep. If you stepped on it, you would get stuck in it, and it would take a lot of effort to get out.
How could Xu Chenghou and Zhou Guilan be willing to let their children have to do such work?
Especially for Yang Haoyu, he didn't necessarily work at home, but came to Xu's house to do whatever he wanted. The old couple felt that this was not good.
So the old couple tried to stop and persuade them not to let go.
But they tried to persuade them several times to no avail. Yang Haoyu and Xu Jinping didn't listen at all and just did whatever they had to do.
At noon, they dragged back two large bundles of pine branches from the back woods. Before it got dark, the two of them chopped them all with axes.
Then they were tied up smoothly and stacked on the edge of the garden pole, saying that they were kept for the summer fire.
What can be done? The child has serious business, and he is not going out to cause trouble by misbehaving.
There was no other way, so Xu Chenghou and his wife had no choice but to agree.
Sometimes when Xu Chenghou was worried, he would follow along and help drag him back.
Not to mention, these old and young people have been busy for half a month, and there is a pile of pine branches and firewood in the Xu family's yard.
As soon as Laba was over, Zhou Guilan began to look forward to her daughter-in-law's return every day.
Not only is she looking forward to it, but every family is looking forward to it. Seeing that the Chinese New Year is not far away, who is not anxious for a family reunion?
Anyway, on the tenth day of the twelfth lunar month, I received a call from Su Anying and the others, saying that all the goods had been sold.
They packed up and headed back. They would be home in about three or four days.
Upon hearing the news, everyone in the family was very happy and counted the days until their daughter-in-law came back.
On January 21st, the 14th day of the twelfth lunar month, Su Anying and her party got off the bus at Songjiang River, packed with old things.
"Daughter-in-law, this way." Xu Shiyan, Han Limin, Yang Junxian, Huang Shengli and others were all waiting at the train station.
Seeing the wives of each family coming out of the house, everyone was so excited that they wanted to jump over the fence and go inside to pick up their wives.
Su Anying and others were all carrying large backpacks, dragging a travel trailer with one hand, carrying a small bag with the other, and wearing bread clothes.
With great effort, I followed the crowd and walked out of the station.
Men from all the families rushed forward and took the big backpack from the wife's back, and then took the travel trailer.
"Oh my God, what did you do to get back here? Aren't you tired of being wrapped up in such a big package?"
The men looked at the large suitcase on the travel trailer and tried on the heavy backpack.
They were all very curious, what did they bring back? Are you so old?
“We lived there for nearly three months, and we didn’t bring enough clothes, so we bought them all there.
In addition, I can bring some things for my family, what else can I do less?"
Who goes out for a trip and doesn’t buy something for his family when he comes home?
Xu Shiyan thinks about it even when he goes out, let alone these women.
Buying, buying, buying, that is a woman's pleasure.
Su Anying and the others usually go out for a walk when they are not busy, and buy whatever they like when they see it. Before leaving, they even go to the mall to have a good time.
This suitcase, trailer, etc. were all bought from there, otherwise why would they put them back?
The men looked at each other, but no one dared to say a word.
With the money my wife earns, she can buy whatever she likes, so what else is there?
Buy it, you must buy it, and you won’t be happy if you buy less.
"Well, let's go back to our respective homes today. Let's find time another day for our families to get together."
Su Anying looked back at Ji Yufeng and the others and said.
I have been away for a long time and my family is all looking forward to it. I must go home first.
Let's rest for two days to calm down, and it's time for the remittance to arrive.
At that time, we will put together this year's general ledger and determine how much each company should distribute directly as dividends for the New Year.
Xu Shiyan and Han Limin both drove cars assigned to them by the venue. Yang Jun was on the other end, and Xu Shiyan made the decision and was assigned a car.
After all, he is also the director of a fertilizer factory. You can't walk on two legs when you go out, right? A car has been arranged by the factory.
As for everyone else, they are all half-open.
The key point is that Huang Shengli and the others have nothing else to do. They already have a car at home, so how can they buy another jeep to drive? Isn't that nonsense?
Everyone broke up at the train station and drove their wives home.
Yang Junxian and Ji Yufeng, together with Xu Shiyan and his wife, arrived at Xu's house first.
After picking up Yang Haoyu, who was living comfortably in Xu's house and was happy to be in Sichuan, the family of three went home to reunite.
On the Xu family's side, Su Weizhong and his wife, and Ji Tongzhong and his wife are both there.
Everyone was very happy to see Su Anying back.
The four of them, Xu Haiyuan, hugged Su Anying and refused to let go. They tried to persuade her before letting go.
Zhou Guilan took her daughter-in-law's hand and asked her to quickly sit on the kang.
"Look, I've been away for almost three months now, and I miss us so much.
How was the journey? Is everything okay?
Oh, I'm thinking about you all the time at home, for fear that something might happen to you daughters-in-law on the road."
There is chaos outside these days. There are several women walking out and carrying a lot of money. How can we not be worried?
