"Sister-in-law is right." Pei Yuanzheng said in a deep voice, "As long as it is the right way, we will support you. Now we are a big family, no one needs that little money, including your wife. We hope more than anyone else that you and Brother Qingshan can have a more stable position."
He calmly rejected Pei Qinggang's implied meaning. He also learned from Political Commissar Lu to be conscientious when speaking.
Pei Qinggang hasn't changed much from before, but he is different now. If someone says that he would do something to hurt his family, Pei Yuanzheng doesn't believe it, at least not for now.
But it is still possible that he was harboring some bad intentions towards others.
Therefore, Pei Yuanzheng used the word "right path" to point him out, and mentioned Pei Qingshan at the end, so as to let Pei Qinggang understand that they have more connections in the agency than just Pei Qinggang, and hoped that he would be careful in what he said and did.
If he really had to use an animal to describe Pei Qinggang, Pei Yuanzheng felt that it should not be a wolf, but a fox.
Sly fox.
At the end of the conversation, Pei Yuanzheng said jokingly: "Brother Wolf, if you feel that you can't make it in the government department anymore, you can come to me at any time. I will be the manager of the security department."
He seldom joked, so the others didn't understand why, so they just laughed along and agreed that the manager of the security department was not bad.
Only Ruan Niannian and Pei Qinggang understood what he meant.
Pei Yuanzheng was reminding Pei Qinggang not to act rashly and not to end up not even being able to remain brothers.
Ruan Niannian asked Wu Xinghua casually, "Xinghua, if I want you to go to Suicheng to help me, would you be willing to leave your Wolf Brother behind?"
"What are you talking about? It's not like we won't see each other anymore. If you ask me to go, I will definitely go. My future is more important than anything else." Wu Xinghua didn't feel guilty at all. Maybe she would have been reluctant in the past, but now they are an old couple, and making money is of course more important than anything else.
When Pei Qinggang heard Wu Xinghua's answer, his body froze for a long time without moving, until Wu Xinghua called him and he came back to his senses.
They are a strange couple.
Before the marriage, Wu Xinghua chased Pei Qinggang around in all kinds of ways, made and washed clothes for him and took care of him in all kinds of ways, but what happened after they got married?
Wu Xinghua, on the other hand, didn't care so much about Pei Qinggang anymore, as if the two of them had reversed their roles.
Ruan Niannian proudly showed off to Pei Yuanzheng, "So, you have to control people in a certain way, don't you understand?"
"Yes, my wife is still the best." Pei Yuan conquered the anger. Sometimes women's ability to understand people's hearts is stronger than men's after training.
Following Li Jinhua's reminder, Ruan Niannian found another mattress and quilt and made the bed after returning home. She also put another mattress and quilt on Xingxing and Diandian's small beds.
Li Jinhua said that it is colder when the snow melts than when it snows, so she should keep warm and add an extra layer of cushion or cover herself at night.
That night, the temperature did drop sharply, but the snow did not melt. Instead, it snowed again. Not only snow, but also a lot of "stones" were mixed in.
Ruan Niannian was awakened by the noise on the roof. She opened her eyes and asked dazedly, "Honey, is there a rock falling?"
"Don't get up, I'll go out and take a look." Pei Yuanzheng put on his pants, put on his coat and walked out.
Ruan Niannian was completely awake. The noise outside never stopped, and when she listened carefully, it seemed like there was some distance between them.
She couldn't lie down, so she put on her coat, got up and checked on her two children. They were both sleeping soundly.
When she got up from the bed, she realized that the temperature had dropped quite a bit. She couldn't see anything outside the window, but usually she could see everything clearly when the moon was shining.
Pei Yuanzheng hasn't come back yet, and Ruan Niannian didn't dare go out. She simply put on all her clothes, fearing that she would have to go out if there was any emergency.
In the middle of the night, there was a knock on the door of the hall outside, and Wu Lanhua's voice came in, "Sister-in-law, sister-in-law, are you awake?"
Ruan Niannian hurried to open the door for her, "Third sister-in-law, why are you here? Come in quickly, it's so cold."
"We came to see you. Yuanzheng and my son Yangzi are both out on disaster relief missions. We were afraid you'd be scared at home with your two kids, so we came to keep you company."
Only after they came in did Ruan Niannian see that a large group of people were coming over. Wu Lanhua was with Pei Hehui and Pei Xiaoqing, Zhang Xiangyun was with Pei Jianhui and Pei Xiaodan, and Wu Xinghua was following behind them.
"That's great." Ruan Niannian led them into the room, took out something to eat, and also got canned food for the children.
Wu Lanhua wanted to stop him, "How can they let you spend so much money? Are they some kind of noble people? How can they eat canned food every time they come?"
"Don't stop me." Ruan Niannian patted her hand that was about to take the can from Pei Hehui, "Where else can you buy these for them except from me? How can they eat so much? I say you should stop being so stingy. It's New Year's Day and the children want to eat again. What's wrong with buying some? Did I not pay you wages or what?"
Wu Lanhua giggled when she was photographed by her, "I saw that you bought so much, how could there not be some for our families? You will go to school after the New Year, you can't take it with you, right? How can I be polite to you?"
"Okay, stop joking. What's the situation in the village? Are we going to do disaster relief?" Ruan Niannian asked casually while inviting them to eat melon seeds.
Wu Xinghua and Wu Lanhua both shook their heads. "We don't know much about it. We just heard the captain knocking the gong and saying rescue work was needed, and the man went out. My second sister-in-law did go to take a look."
"I thought that there was no man in my family, and we villagers helped each other, so I went to join in the fun. I went to take a look. The snow was heavy this year, and many old houses collapsed. The men were sent to rescue people. The team leader's men also ran back to the commune overnight. There was still a lot of work to do tonight. I was driven back by the team leader, who said that women didn't need to participate."
Zhang Xiangyun told her what she knew.
No wonder the term "disaster relief" is used. The snow was so heavy that even the houses collapsed. They are in the south, not the north.
"That's right. I didn't feel it yesterday, but the temperature has dropped quite a bit overnight. The snow outside is over my ankles, and it's still falling. If we weren't afraid that you'd be scared, we wouldn't want to go out."
Ruan Niannian laughed and said, "Thank you for thinking of me."
How could she not know that these sisters-in-law just wanted to join in the fun and gossip? Even Zhang Xiangyun, who seemed to be quite quiet, was a talkative person.
If the old house wasn't far away and inconvenient to visit on snowy days, Li Jinhua would definitely hang out here too.
"I encountered this kind of thing right after taking office. There are quite a few old houses in our commune. Brother Qingshan must be suffering from a headache and unable to sleep, right?"
Wu Lanhua peeled a peanut and chewed it, speaking incoherently. "There are always problems that need to be solved. Our commune has boosted its economy thanks to the expedition. We have built all the houses that can be built. The situation should be better than other communes."
"It's been many years since we had such heavy snow in Xi County?" Wu Xinghua felt a little melancholy. As far as she could remember, it had never snowed so heavily.
They were worried about Pei Qingshan, but she was worried about Pei Qinggang.
Ruan Niannian pushed her and said, "Hey, it's time for Brother Wolf to show his abilities. You should brainwash Brother Wolf more if you have nothing to do. It's always better to do practical things than to take crooked paths."
