Chapter 659: Night in Holy Spear City
When Teacher Liang returned home, her daughter had already prepared dinner. As a new wife, she was less eccentric and more mature and steady.
"Xiaoya, you don't have to worry about your mother. Spend more time with your mother-in-law. Ergou is often not at home, and your mother-in-law has no one to talk to."
"My dear relatives, Xiaoya asked me to come here for a meal."
Ergou's mother came out embroidering tiger-head shoes. She had worked as a textile worker and could not sit still. Her son was getting married and she had to think about clothes for her grandson. But the weather here was too hot, so she could not show her skills by embroidering cotton shoes.
Teacher Liang was very happy and said jokingly.
"Oh, I'm lucky I didn't say anything bad about you to Xiaoya, otherwise I would have caught you red-handed."
Xiaoya is busy cooking, with a happy smile on her face. She misses brother Ergou every day, very much, but she knows that brother Ergou is a man who can do great things and has a heavy burden on his shoulders. She will never hold him back. She has already talked to the school and will go to work in a few days to teach a new course, physics. Xiaoya actually doesn't know much, but she went to middle school for three years on the other side of the strait. Now there is a shortage of physics teachers in the school, so she learns and teaches at the same time. As long as she works hard, there will be a day when she can become a role model for others.
The dumplings were cooked, and Liu Minggui shouted across the wall, startling Chen Weiping who had just taken a nap.
"Here it comes!"
Chen Weiping walked into Liu Minggui's house holding a bottle of wine. Heiwa's family was there too. The last time Heiwa came, he didn't show up in Holy Spear City. His sudden appearance at home almost made Tian Fuli and his wife cry with joy.
"Heiwa, when did you come back?"
"Uncle, I just came back and will leave tomorrow morning."
Knowing that Heiwa has a secret mission, no one would ask about it casually. It can be said that Heiwa is a kid who would not hide anything from adults.
Chen Weiping patted Heiwa's shoulder, but he couldn't reach him to pat his head. The child was grown up, so it was inappropriate to pat him on the head.
"You've lost weight! Eat more good food. Ergou married a good wife, you can find one yourself. If you can't find one, ask your brother Guoqing to find one for you. There will always be a suitable one."
Heiwa smiled naively. His parents had mentioned this matter many times and they were a little annoyed, but he felt warm in his heart when Uncle Chen mentioned it.
"Uncle, if I find a suitable person, I will support the family so that my mother won't nag me every day."
Heiwa's mother was so angry that she slapped her son in the face, but she couldn't bear to hit him hard.
"I'm talking to you nicely, but you're still trying to get home. Do you think you're going to make pancakes by rubbing grass?"
Caiyun's mother didn't worry about anything. She studied how to make delicious food every day. Not only did she make dumplings with pork and Chinese cabbage, she also fried four dishes. When Chen Weiping opened the white wine, Liu Minggui's eyes widened immediately. It smelled good wine, and dumplings went well with wine, the more they drank, the better. It was a pity that Lao Tao's wine was not available now, even if you queued up. Other wines were a little lacking and not authentic.
Teacher Liang's family and Liu Minggui's family have started eating, but Hulu's family is still cooking. Grandpa Hulu gets off work at five o'clock every day, and he feels unworthy of the salary he gets from his superiors, so he works for an extra hour every afternoon, waiting for everyone to go home after work, and then checks the streets again.
Huludie gets off work even later, and the overtime pay is double the normal salary. If he works one more hour a day, four days of overtime is equivalent to one more day's salary. If his leader did not allow it, Huludie would like to work two shifts a day. Two shifts are only sixteen hours, which does not affect his sleep at all.
Little Hulu has already changed out of his white shirt and washed it. His grandmother is helping his mother cook. Hulu says that Shen Zhong will come to dinner tonight. He is a half-grown boy, all alone outside, and he is very nice to little Hulu. He teaches him everything he knows and they learn and ask together if they don't know. The Hulu family is very grateful to Shen Zhong, and Shen Zhong has also gotten used to eating with them. At the Hulu brothers' house, Shen Zhong can always feel the sense of home.
"Brother Calabash, here I come."
Shen Zhong carried a box of snacks and handed it to Xiao Yaya as soon as he entered the yard. He also really wanted to have a well-behaved sister.
"Thank you, Brother Zhong."
"Xiaozhong, when you come here to eat, just treat yourself like you're at home. Don't spoil Yaya all day long."
Shen Zhong smiled. Every time grandma would nag him, Shen Zhong would agree every time, but he just didn't do it. He was miserable! He was unfamiliar with the place. Apart from his teacher Chen Guoqing, he was only familiar with the Hulu family. His father brought him a lot of gold bars. Although he couldn't spend them carelessly and there was no place to spend them carelessly, he would occasionally take one to buy gifts for Yaya and no one would ask.
Seeing that Brother Zhong was staring at her second brother washing clothes, Yaya quickly moved a stool for him. Shen Zhong touched Yaya's head lovingly.
"Brother Calabash, what did you learn from the teacher today?"
The two children were discussing work, and the Shen family immediately lowered their noise. The mother who was cutting vegetables stopped chopping and cutted. Yaya shared snacks with her grandmother, chewing gently while sitting on the small stool in front of her grandmother.
"Morning or afternoon"?
"Of course it's the afternoon! Didn't I have the same class with you in the morning?"
Little Gourd touched his head with his wet hands, feeling a little embarrassed, but he looked serious when talking about his afternoon work.
"This afternoon I went to the cement factory to get the daily production data, and then distributed it to the Ministry of Construction and the Ministry of Urban Construction. The two-to-one ratio was set by Mr. Chen himself, and no one can change it for the time being. After that, I went to the woodworking factory and asked about the normal production of Volkswagen Furniture. I will have to contact the Ministry of Urban Construction tomorrow to release it."
Shen Zhong also reported on his work.
"I went to count the wasteland today. After three more days of cleaning, the new residents will be allocated land. The reclamation team killed two wild boars. It's too late. Please give me a hind leg tomorrow. Wait for me tomorrow night! I don't know how to cook, so let my aunt cook it and I can eat it."
Grandpa Gourd came back, put down the tools in his hand, and washed his hands and face with clean water. Little Gourd said that Xiaozhong was very clean, and although he was just a little guest, he could not discredit him in front of Little Gourd's friends.
Grandpa had just made the tea when Huludie came back, looking neat and tidy. He had already taken a shower in the factory and his hair was still a little damp. He greeted Xiaozhong, asked about Yaya's studies, and sat at the table to prepare for dinner.
Chen Guoqing comes home very late because he has too many things to do and too many worries. Fortunately, he has found some responsible helpers, so he doesn't have to do all those tedious things himself. But things will get better slowly in the future. As the functional departments develop slowly, he will have the opportunity to be a hands-off boss.
"Dad, haven't you rested yet?"
"No rush. I'm old and not used to going to bed too early. Otherwise, it will be difficult to fall asleep again if I wake up in the middle of the night."
Old Chen shouted towards the kitchen.
"Aizhu, serve the food to your brother."
Chen Aizhu, Chen Guoqing's youngest sister, went to the kitchen and served the food her brother had prepared. There were two dishes, one meat and one vegetable, a bowl of rice, and a glass of strong liquor.
"Dad, I'm so busy now, don't you feel sorry for me?"
"How busy are you? You don't do your job properly during normal times, so you may not be able to do it when you are needed! Keep busy! Once you finish building this new city, you will have grown up."
Chen Guoqing is so sad! Is he still a child in his father's eyes?
