A fifty-watt light bulb swung over the eight-immortals table, stretching Li Guifang's shadow long and slanting across the brick wall.
As she entered, she saw a room full of people sitting in the main hall. Li Minghua rushed over and said, "Mom! If you don't come back soon, I'm going to go to my uncle's house to pick you up!"
"What could possibly happen? Why are you making such a fuss?"
Li Guifang brushed the dust off her clothes and said, "I just chatted with your uncle for a while.
They will be returning to Haicheng the day after tomorrow... After they leave, I don't know when I'll see them again..."
The room suddenly became quiet. Wu Xiaomei saw that the topic was a bit heavy and quickly changed the subject.
"Mom, you've been traveling for so long, you must be hungry. I'll make you some noodles."
Wu Xiaomei said this and walked towards the kitchen.
"No, no," Li Guifang waved her hand. "I ate a lot of dumplings at his uncle's house. It was enough to fill me up."
Li Guifang was talking, then she pulled out a train ticket and slapped it on the table: "The train is at 8 o'clock the day after tomorrow. Mingyu, you and your uncle are going to Haicheng."
"What?!" The melon seeds in Li Minghua's hand fell to the ground.
Li Mingyu was squatting in the corner fiddling with the radio he had brought back from his uncle's house. Hearing this, he didn't react for a moment.
He looked up at Li Guifang, and suddenly stood up with a "clang", and the bench turned over.
His eyes widened, his mouth wide open enough to fit an egg in it. "Mom! Really?"
"I've already bought the tickets, how could this be fake?" Li Guifang rolled her eyes at him. "You're just envious of your cousin's pager, aren't you?"
Last time at my uncle's house, I listened to Xingsheng describe the prosperity of Haicheng, and saw the radio, electronic watch, and even the black BB machine on Xingsheng's waist.
She noticed that Li Mingyu's eyes were wide open and his saliva was about to flow out!
When he got home that day, he was so greedy that he tossed and turned and couldn't sleep!
Li Mingyu rubbed his hands together, grinning from ear to ear: "Mom! I'll definitely do a good job when I get there!"
Brother Xingsheng said that the electronics factory in Haicheng is hiring workers, providing food and accommodation, and you can earn more than 300 yuan a month!
He gestured excitedly, "And that tall building, I heard it has more than 20 floors, and the elevator goes up in a flash!
The girls in the city all wear jeans and have their hair permed like Hong Kong stars! Mom, you're so nice! I'll definitely... "
"Guaranteed! Stop imagining nonsense!" Li Guifang grabbed his ear and said, "When you get there, be down-to-earth and listen to your uncle! If I find out you're being cunning..."
"I dare not!" Li Mingyu grimaced in pain. "I will work hard! When I make money, I will buy Mom a woolen coat first!"
Li Minghua burst out laughing: "Oh, our Mingyu has made it!"
"Wait until you actually make some money..."
After Li Guifang finished her nagging, she followed him to his room to pack his luggage!
When Li Mingyu rushed out, the ticket was shining under the light bulb, like a small, smiling moon.
Li Jianghai squatted on the doorstep, puffing on his pipe, the flame in the pipe flickering.
Li Guifang did not stop her muttering while packing Li Mingyu's things.
As she folded clothes and stuffed them into her bag, she kept mumbling, "Don't bring a thick cotton-padded jacket. Your aunt said it never snows there in the winter, but now the city is covered with snow..."
This blue shirt is the one your father wore last year..." Before he could finish his words, there was a sudden "clang clang" sound outside the courtyard gate.
Li Mingyuan pushed his half-worn Forever brand bicycle into the yard in a hurry, with the deflated briefcase hanging on the handlebars swinging everywhere.
"Mom!" he shouted with joy, "I just received an official appointment from the Organization Department. I've been promoted to Director of the Construction Bureau!"
Li Guifang Li Guifang was folding clothes when her hands suddenly stopped, and the clothes fell freely.
She was stunned for two seconds, her voice trembling with disbelief!
"Construction Bureau... Director? You?... That's not..."
"It's me, it's me, that's me! Section chief!" Li Mingyuan adjusted the collar of his leather jacket, with a smile that couldn't be concealed in the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
"I'll be moving into the director's office tomorrow. It's a single room with a window!
The director said in person that from now on, I will be fully responsible for the renovation project of the dangerous area in the south of the city."
Li Minghua and his wife also rushed out of the house: "Brother! What are you doing..."
The words were on the tip of his tongue, but he was too excited to continue. He just patted Li Mingyuan's shoulder heavily.
Li Jianghai was very pleased, and he said, "Old Li, this seed of learning will have a bright future one day!"
Li Guifang was stunned for a long time before she digested this information!
In his previous life, until she closed her eyes, Li Mingyuan had been in this deputy director position and had never moved. How come he was promoted this time, and so suddenly!
Li Guifang thought so and asked, "Your promotion was too sudden, isn't it..."
Where else can you do this? It must be some crooked way!
Before she could finish her words, Li Mingyuan hurriedly explained, "Mom, what are you thinking! I didn't do anything this time!"
