Wang Zhongshan values this eldest grandson very much. After all, he only has one daughter, and this daughter has only one son.
Don’t worry about the one in the belly. When the little one grows up, maybe he will pass away!
In the evening, Wang Xiumin and Grandma Wang made celery and meat dumplings, as well as pork ribs stewed with beans, which were particularly delicious.
"Here, the last two dishes." Wang Xiumin brought two cold dishes, one with smashed cucumber and the other with dried tofu and shallots.
Since moving to the city, I can often eat soy products at home, which I rarely ate at home before.
"Xiangyang, would you like to have a drink?" Xu Guangtian held the wine bottle and looked at him with a smile.
Xu Xiangyang knew from his expression that he must have been drinking every day before.
He was also resting today, so he nodded and said, "Okay, two taels."
The three of them poured two liang of white wine each. Grandma Wang smacked her lips and said, "Give me one liang too."
When she was young and her family was well-off, she used to drink alcohol. But later, when times got tough and there was not enough food to eat, she stopped drinking.
When Wang Zhongshan heard that she wanted to drink something, he happily poured her a glass or two of wine.
It was the first time Xu Xiangyang saw Grandma Wang drinking, but he didn't stop her.
The wine at that time was all made from grain, so it was okay to drink a little. But the blended wine of later generations would give young people a headache after drinking it, not to mention the health of older people.
The whole family was having a lively meal together, and they were even happier than during the Chinese New Year.
After resting for two days, Xu Xiangyang got up in the morning and looked at the newly built house. The outside was already finished and the inside was also whitewashed.
Now we just have to wait for the house to dry before we can move in.
In fact, he wanted to decorate the outside better, but thinking about the next few years, it would be better to keep a low profile. The red brick exterior is also very beautiful.
The toilet was also built, and according to Xu Xiangyang's request, a squat toilet with flushing function was made.
It costs money to clean out the feces in the city toilets, they don’t just leave it there after you’ve done your job.
A cesspool will eventually be full, and when it is full someone has to clean it, and that costs money, otherwise who will do the job?
The only thing missing from the house now is a bathroom, but without heating we can’t boil water, so that will have to wait a little longer.
Xu Xiangyang looked around and went out to work. It was rush hour, so there were many people on the road.
"Why!"
He was suddenly patted on the back and turned around to look at the person in front of him with some surprise.
Wu Hao looked at him and asked, "Were you with Liu Feng last time?"
Although the words were not clearly stated, everyone understood what it meant.
Xu Xiangyang smiled and nodded, "Yes, where are you going, Brother Hao?"
"Oh, I'm going to work." Wu Hao blinked and asked, "I haven't seen Liu Feng recently. Have you seen him?"
In fact, he also knew that he had won a lot of money from Liu Feng recently. Now that this guy didn't come, he more or less understood what was going on.
But is he afraid of losing? That's unlikely. He should go and get the money to win it back.
Xu Xiangyang didn't know what he was thinking, so he just said, "I saw him at work yesterday. I guess he was busy at work."
It’s better not to get involved in what’s going on between them. It’s not good to offend anyone.
He had just settled down in the city and had a whole family waiting to be fed.
If he loses his job, he won't be able to find a suitable one anytime soon. Therefore, before he becomes stronger, he needs to maintain good relationships with those who could threaten him. (Edited, thanks to my lovely friend)
Wu Hao nodded when he heard his words, without asking any further questions, but he was a little interested in him.
"Brother, do you want to go play with us next time? We are short of manpower recently, and we are always short of one person." He asked with a smile, with calculation in his eyes.
Xu Xiangyang waved his hand, pretending to be embarrassed. "No, Brother Hao, our company has been on business trips recently. You know, if things get busy, we young people have to take the lead. How can we have time to rest?"
This is absolutely true. Generally speaking, no matter what unit it is, those with less seniority are the most tired. Now they just need to gain experience, otherwise how can they hold a stable job in the future?
Wu Hao smiled, and the expression on his face was obviously much lighter. "Okay, you can go there when you have time. I have to go to work first."
After saying that, he left without looking back.
Xu Xiangyang had seen too many people like this, so he would just ignore them if there was no need for them, and he didn't think too much about it.
Anyway, it is absolutely impossible to drag myself into being a scapegoat.
When I arrived at the office, everyone else had already arrived and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.
It was just eight o'clock in the morning and the windows had to be opened, otherwise the room would be too hot and uninhabitable.
At this time, houses are all facing the sun, so the two large windows are exposed to the sun and the house is hotter than outside.
"Oh my god, this weather is so weird. It's only July and it's already so hot." After cleaning up, Qian Wenqing sat on the steps outside, fanning himself with a big fan.
Xu Xiangyang was not one to tolerate heat either. He sat in the shade, looking at the sun and the blue sky.
"The weather is nice and the air is good." He said to himself.
Yes, the blue sky in later generations has always been covered with a layer of white mist, and is not as blue as the sky at this time.
Sometimes there was haze in the air, unlike now, when there is no haze even though there are factories around.
Qian Wenqing gave him a strange look. "The weather is fine?" What was he thinking?
It's such hot weather...
He curled his lips and said nothing. He didn't like it anyway.
This year is hotter than in previous years. It’s not so bad for people working in offices, but it’s really tough for those doing physical work.
I don’t know if it was because they heard Qian Wenqing’s complaints, but the sky was clear and hot in the morning, but in the afternoon it was covered with dark clouds and it started to rain heavily.
Xu Xiangyang looked outside through the window. It had been many years since such a heavy rainstorm.
"Oh, it's cooler when it rains." Qian Wenqing looked out the window happily, not worrying at all whether the rain would continue until after get off work.
Xu Xiangyang said: "It's cool when it rains, but it gets hot and humid when the rain stops."
It’s like this now. If it rains in July and August, it will be hot and humid, so it’s better if it doesn’t rain.
Qian Wenqing didn't care at all, as long as he was cool now.
The rain outside had not stopped until the end of the day, and everyone was trapped in the office and couldn't go back.
"Is it okay this time?" Xu Xiangyang gave Qian Wenqing a cold look.
Qian Wenqing pouted, "What should I do? I don't even have an umbrella with me."
Not only did he not bring an umbrella, no one in the entire office brought an umbrella.
After all, the sky was clear when I went out in the morning, who knew it would rain heavily in the afternoon?
There was nothing we could do this time. We all waited in the office until five o'clock, when the rain turned into a drizzle.
"I'm going home. I'm leaving first." Qian Wenqing said hello and quickly ran away putting on his coat.
If I don't leave now, it'll probably rain again. So should I stay here for the night? Forget it.
Xu Xiangyang didn't stay any longer. He put on his short-sleeved coat and trotted out.
When he reached the gate, he was stunned by the scene before him...
