After breakfast, Cheng Xue asked Bai Wei, Bai Guo and others to go back and change clothes, and then took the guys to clear the snow in front of the government office.
In class, the louder the noise, the better. It is best for the whole family to join the battle, then that will be meaningful.
Everyone started from the back door and went around to the main entrance of the government office. In addition to the deep snow at the entrance of the huge Beijing government office, no one from the government office got up early to clean it.
Cheng Xue knew that there was a huge problem here, but being so lazy was beyond her expectations.
"Tangtang, you take Gingguo and Baizhi to clean inside. Mom will take your brother and sister to clean outside. We'll wait for Fan Tongzhi by the way."
When Bai Wei heard this, she climbed over the wall and opened the door bolt from the inside to prevent the three of them from going back and taking a long way around.
Broom, shovel, wooden push board...
All the tools were used together, and the steps in front of the government office were quickly cleared.
Li Huai and Li Tian each carried a wooden push board and pushed the snow to the open space on the left side of the main road.
Everyone worked enthusiastically, not only cleaning up the area around the government office, but also cleaning up the main roads connecting it.
Occasionally, people who got up early went out and walked from the main street, which was one foot deep and the other shallow, to the area around the government office. They couldn't help but be surprised when they saw that the snow had been cleared.
"Hey, the yamen clerk in the government office is very diligent today!"
The folk customs in the north are rough and rough, and most of them have familiar personalities. Regardless of whether they know each other, as long as they are interested in the topic, they will respond.
"Could it be those lazy cadres? Why don't I believe it?"
"It's possible, brother, don't forget, we just replaced our old parents."
"What's the use? If you come from out of town, you'll have to listen to your parents soon."
"Shhh - you can't talk nonsense."
"Bah, bah, bah, I drank too much and I haven't sobered up yet."
A few people chatted and changed the topic.
In the northern border, people respectfully call Fu Yin "old parents" and Tongzhi "parents".
When they saw Cheng Xue and other female family members clearing the snow, they were all dumbfounded. Especially the two half-year-old children Li Tian and Li Huai, who were struggling to push the snow on a wooden push board with a handle that was taller than them.
That picture is more impactful.
One of them was a strong man who just came out for a walk. Seeing how hard the child was, he hurriedly stepped forward and took the wooden push board away from Li Huai's hand. He took it for granted that the little guy wouldn't give it to him, so he couldn't use too much force for fear of hurting the child.
Fell.
"Don't be afraid. I won't steal your things. Whose child are you? Why are you pushing the snow? It's still snowing, so pushing is in vain."
"Then we can't let the heavy snow block the door. What if you have a complaint?"
As Li Huai spoke, he hid aside, fearing that he would really grab his wooden push board. He was holding a broom with tired hands, and a shovel was not as useful as this one. He pushed the wooden board as if for fun and was enjoying it.
"Did your mother ask you to do so? Listen to my uncle and go home quickly and stop shaking. Taking medicine is valuable."
Shivering, a northern dialect, means catching a cold due to sweating.
Seeing that it was almost done, Bai Wei came over, nodded slightly and said:
"Thank you for your kindness, warrior. It's snowing heavily today, and no one is cleaning up in front of the government office and on the main street, so my wife brought us here to work."
The strong man said "Ah" and raised his hands, then asked curiously:
"Your wife? Are you the newly appointed Yin family of the Li family?"
Bai Wei was waiting for this sentence, smiled and nodded heavily.
"Exactly. Madam was afraid that the snow would delay your walk, so she took us out to clear the snow."
When the other men who were joining in the fun heard this, they looked at me and I looked at you, and their bodies spontaneously began to come over to help. There were many snow-clearing tools standing next to the gate of the government office, all of which were taken out from the back house and the concierge.
Some came to help sincerely. Some were more secretive, thinking that this work would not be in vain, and they would definitely get some benefits. Regardless of the purpose, with their participation, the speed of snow clearing increased very quickly. Later, another
Some people joined in, and Cheng Xue took the opportunity to lead people to clear the snow on the entire main street.
By the time Fan Tongzhi arrived at the government office, although there was another layer of snow at the door, it was obviously much thicker than before it was cleared.
Chang Sui supported Fan Chengfang, looked at the snow piled up on the left side of the road, and said:
"Hey, Liangzi and the others came very early today."
Just as Fan Chengfang was about to speak, his heartbeat quickened and his brows furrowed.
"Go and see what's going on."
With the beating nature of those cadres, it would be impossible for them to do it so quickly and thoroughly.
I often feel something strange when I pass by and run around quickly to check the situation.
When Cheng Xue led people to clear the snow, he deliberately avoided the direction of the houses of the government office. Although the northern city could not be compared with Liaodong City, it was also divided into rich and poor areas in the north and south. They went to clear the snow for the people first, and naturally the south
No one was taking care of the main road, so Fan Chengfang and the others naturally couldn't find it.
When Chang Sui walked all the way north to the street, he was dumbfounded, because Liangzi, Lord Shen and others were clearing the snow, and Mrs. Fuyin also took her children to work together, and there were many common people.
This this……
Not allowing him to think too much, he turned around and hurried back to the government office, panting to report the situation to his master.
Fan Chengfang felt itchy after hearing this. He always felt that Li Hui's wife did it on purpose, but he had no evidence.
Looking at the not too thick snow on the ground, he narrowed his eyes slightly and said:
"Hurry and get some snow removal supplies from the backstreet grocery store, and we'll go to the government office."
purchase?!
Chang Sui was startled, shook his head and said:
"Sir, our government office is much older, so there is no need to buy it."
"Shall we make a bet? If you go to the concierge now and look for it, there won't even be a stick."
"...Yes, just buy the small one."
Taking advantage of the break when he went to the back street, Fan Chengfang strode into the government office. Just as he thought, he didn't even have a stick. He was not stupid. He scolded someone's child yesterday, and the woman would definitely find a way to make it happen. But he didn't expect her.
He is so talented that he is willing to sweep the streets regardless of his status.
It seems that this couple is not easy to deal with, and they are very clingy.
Chang Sui dragged two big brooms back as quickly as possible, and the two of them started sweeping the snow in the Yamen courtyard.
When Cheng Xue and others came back, the master and servant just came out of the government office. Fan Chengfang walked a few steps quickly to the front, saluted and said:
"Fan Yao is really derelict in his duty to trouble Mrs. Li to worry about clearing the snow for us. It snowed heavily last night, so I was worried and went around the south twice more to make sure that the house was all right before coming over. I will arrange for the Yamen to go to the north later.
Go around and help the people in the city clear the snow on their roofs. The second lady was right yesterday, the roofs really can’t bear such heavy snow."
Knowing that all these years were not in vain, he defended himself vaguely in a few words, and then confirmed Li Tian's actions yesterday. Such a big concession depends on whether she can get down the stairs.
If he steps down, he will restrain himself in the future and cooperate with Li Hui to do his job well. If he doesn't step down, he will continue to act badly, and at worst, he will step down after completing this term.
Cheng Xue didn't know what he was thinking, but she had done what she wanted to do, and the response was pretty good. As for whether he was showing kindness or not, it didn't matter...
