At the end of the year, both factories stopped working, and everyone was free.
It's snowing heavily outside, and in some places the snow is more than one meter high.
It is difficult to drive a car, so everyone spends less time going out.
Xue Ling wore a hat, a towel, gloves and boots, and hurried home step by step.
"What did you do?" Xue Heng was seen walking quickly in the heavy snow, wrapped in a fur coat.
The snow was slippery and the road was wet. The siblings helped them into the community and quickly got into the elevator, and their bodies warmed up.
Xue Heng raised his eyebrows and asked: "There is a heater at home, why are you going out to face the cold? Hasn't work at the construction site been suspended? It's been snowing heavily these days!"
Xue Ling gasped and replied: "It has been stopped for several days. The New Year will be here in half a month. The accountant has settled the wages. I will go over today to help pay wages so that everyone can go home early for the New Year."
"Oh..." Xue Heng shook the big net bag in his hand and explained: "My brother-in-law said that there was no vegetables at home, and they were all meat. I went to the market to buy them. But the weather was too cold, so there were only Chinese cabbages, radishes, and A dozen bitter melons from the south."
"Everything is fine." Xue Ling rubbed his hands and said, "I just went to treat someone to dinner with Lao Liao. Have you all eaten?"
"Not yet." Xue Heng explained: "It's too cold, and everyone got up very late. It was after nine o'clock when I came over for breakfast, and everyone had just gotten up."
"A bunch of lazy pigs!" Xue Ling said with a smile: "I will go out at seven o'clock!"
Xue Heng clicked his tongue twice and said quietly: "Boss Xue wants to make money!"
After entering the house, the heater hit their faces. The two quickly took off their coats and boots, cleaned the snow on their coats, and then entered the living room.
I saw two children chasing each other, the old people playing chess, watching TV and chatting, and only Cheng Tianyuan was busy in the kitchen.
Xue Heng walked into the kitchen with the dishes and asked: "Brother-in-law, the dishes are here! What should we have for lunch today? When will we eat it? It's already one o'clock."
Cheng Tianyuan was tinkering with the kerosene stove and explained: "We can eat it right away. Wash the vegetables. Let's eat hot pot and cook it while eating so that we can stay warm. I just made some ramen noodles and I can eat them soon."
Xue Ling poured a glass of water, drank it, and said with a smile: "Afang's internship place has been determined, it is at the Electric Power Bureau of the Imperial Capital. If she performs well during the internship, the unit leader will try to keep her."
"Really?! That's great!"
"That unit is very good! I heard the salary is high too!"
"That girl said she had booked a flight ticket for tomorrow, and she would arrive at the airport in the evening. She said it was snowing so much that trains were afraid to leave in many places. Ahu simply booked a flight for her, saying it would be safer."
"Safety is the most important thing! Airplanes are safer. As a girl, it is safer to fly."
"Hey! My little aunt is going home tomorrow! It will be even more lively then!"
…
The next afternoon, after Xue Ling had eaten, she went to the construction site and said she wanted to settle some accounts.
Cheng Tianyuan coaxed the child to take a nap, and then went out to play chess with Xue Heng.
Mother Xue and Liu Ying also went to take a nap with their children.
Dad Xue and Cheng Muhai were watching the animal world with rapt attention and relish.
At around three o'clock, Liu Ying went to the kitchen to prepare braised pork for dinner.
"A Yuan, A Fang said that we will get on the plane at noon and will be here around four o'clock. You have to be ready to pick her up, don't go too late."
Cheng Tianyuan saw that the chess game was almost finished and wanted to finish it. Unexpectedly, a call came from home.
He went to pick it up, it was an old customer of his.
——I called you at the factory, but no one answered. I thought you had left your home number, so I called you quickly. Xiaocheng, I have finished buying tissues again. Could you please send me twenty boxes?
Cheng Tianyuan thought for a while and asked: "Is it okay to deliver it tomorrow morning?"
——No! I have customers coming here, and when the rush comes in the evening after get off work, there will definitely be people coming here again. If they can’t buy it once or twice, they won’t come to buy from me the next time.
Cheng Tianyuan had no choice but to say: "The driver in the factory took leave today and said he would be back the day after tomorrow. How about this? I'll load the goods in the warehouse and drive a big truck to help you transport it."
——Thank you! Then I’ll wait for you!
Cheng Tianyuan had no choice but to tell Xue Heng, "You have a car. Go to the airport to pick up my sister. She must have brought a lot of luggage with her this time, and the weather outside is not very good..."
"I'll go!" Xue Heng said with a smile: "I have nothing to do anyway."
Father Xue said warmly: "Okay, let's go to A Heng."
Cheng Muhai smiled and said: "Then I'll trouble A Heng."
Cheng Tianyuan left in a hurry.
Xue Heng put on his long scarf and coat, and suddenly thought of something.
"Um...Uncle, I don't know my sister-in-law A Fang yet."
Mother Xue said quickly: "We have photos in the house of A Fang making cakes during the summer vacation. I will get them for you."
After a while, the photo came.
Xue Heng looked at the girl with a bright smile standing next to the beautiful big cake and squinted his eyes for a moment.
Sure enough...it's very beautiful.
He went downstairs and drove to the airport.
An hour later, he went outside the airport and parked his vehicle as prompted.
The person picking you up can only wait at the exit outside the airport.
He looked at his watch and found that it was already past four o'clock, which should be about the time.
Unexpectedly, I waited, waited and waited, until the sky darkened, but I still didn’t see the beautiful girl in the photo.
There are more and more people waiting on the sidelines.
"I heard it snowed so much that many flights were delayed."
"Yes! My relative's flight is delayed by an hour!"
Xue Heng heard everyone talking, thinking that it might have been delayed due to the weather, and was about to move away when a group of passengers dragged their luggage out of the front!
He stood on tiptoes and soon saw Cheng Tianfang in the crowd.
She is tall, slender, and has fair skin, so she stands out among the crowd.
He looked at it and forgot to shout for a moment. He didn't react until Cheng Tianfang walked past him.
"That...Afang!"
Cheng Tianfang heard someone calling her and turned around - she saw a tall, thin and handsome guy smiling shyly at her.
Her heart skipped a beat!
This guy is so handsome! His temperament is close to perfect!
Xue Heng quickly raised the photo and explained: "I...I am Xue Heng! I am Lingling's cousin. My brother-in-law has to deliver goods temporarily and has no time to come, so he asked me to pick you up."
After hearing this, Cheng Tianfang smiled brightly.
"So you are Xue Heng! Hello, hello!"
Xue Heng looked at the beautiful smile on her face, and his handsome face turned red unconsciously.
"I...I'll help you carry your luggage. The car is over there."
Cheng Tianfang apologized and explained: "Have you been waiting for a long time? The flight has been delayed by a full hour! I'm really sorry."
"It's okay!" Xue Heng said with a smile: "It won't take long anyway!"
He excitedly packed all Cheng Tianfang's luggage bags on his back and strode outside.
"Are you tired from the journey? It takes more than two hours to fly, and there is still a delay - ouch!"
There was unmelted snow on the road. He turned his head to talk to her in excitement, fell down, and the duffel bag fell on him.
Cheng Tianfang was frightened and hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.
"Are you okay? Does it hurt anywhere?"
Xue Heng laughed, and his handsome face turned red and red with embarrassment, "It's okay...it's okay...it doesn't hurt! It doesn't hurt at all!"
