The county town was already covered in snow during the Spring Festival, and Xiang Mianmian was shivering with cold the moment he got off the bus.
As we left the train station, the crowd gradually thinned out. The two of us felt a little panicked walking on the street in the dark. It is human nature to be afraid of the dark.
Bi Zhengxian took out the flashlight from his backpack in a place where there was still some light and turned the button to make it brighter.
This thing is a yellow light, not as bright as the modern white light, and can only make you see the road ahead vaguely.
Old-fashioned flashlights, like car halogen headlights, don't focus light well, don't illuminate very far, and are bulky and difficult to carry.
But in the 1970s, when mobile lighting equipment was scarce, such flashlights were rare.
The flashlight was a souvenir that Xiang Mianmian got from Chang'an with her own ability. Yang Weirui, who was reluctant to let her go, tried her best to keep her, but unfortunately the mama's girl couldn't leave home.
Sometimes I want to laugh. This leader in the engine field is a home-loving little girl.
Unless someone can relocate the entire Xiang family or "persuade" the military leaders with their strength, it will be impossible to poach people.
However, Changan Research Institute refused to give up its idea of poaching talents and gave her many practical gifts.
He even promised that as long as the Xiang family was willing to move, he would arrange jobs and houses for Xiang Mianmian's family, and asked her to go back and think about it carefully and not make a hasty decision.
The arrangement from above is that the big reward for engine development will have to wait a while, and measures to attract talent will be used first.
Xiang Mianmian knew that her family would not leave their hometown, but she still said some polite words in front of the leaders who were seeing them off, and said with a smile that she would consider it.
You can't just say you won't consider it. Maybe there will be a way out in the future.
When she was almost home, her body, wrapped up in a ball, began to jump with joy, and her tired eyes lit up.
I originally thought that everyone in my family should have gone to bed after 10 o'clock in the middle of the night, but when I entered the family compound, I saw from afar that the house was still lit.
Although Xiang Hongqi worked the night shift, he would only turn on a dim light to tidy himself up, and he moved very carefully so as not to disturb the rest of his family members.
Sometimes the moonlight is bright enough that you don’t even need a light.
Having never seen such a brightly lit house before, Xiang Mianmian became more and more anxious as he walked. He ran so fast that he even let go of the suitcase he was pulling.
She was afraid that something had happened at home, so she kept running back home, not caring about her possessions.
When she got close to home, she found that the window grilles and door were all decorated with red double "囍" characters. Xiang Mianmian relaxed and slapped her head. Her fifth sister was getting married on the sixth day of the Lunar New Year!
It was not easy to catch up with the wedding day. She breathed a sigh of relief, opened the door and said with a smile: "Mom, I'm back!"
Zhang Jidi was preparing food for the next day in the living room. When he heard the sound, he thought he was hallucinating.
She was peeling an egg when she was startled by the cold wind coming in from the door. She looked up in a daze and was surprised to see her youngest daughter coming in, looking exhausted.
The whole family was very surprised, but they were afraid of interfering with Xiang Mianmian's mission, so they didn't dare to write a letter to remind her.
Xiang Mianmian was so absorbed in her work that she didn't notice the passage of time. She only thought about presenting everyone's plane to the world, and everything else was just a passing cloud.
After the cheers, the family gathered around the fire to chat and talk about what had happened recently.
There is nothing big happening at the Xiang family, it’s just that Xiang Lili is getting married tomorrow, so it’s delayed my sleep time.
Just now, the eldest sister-in-law Wang Chunting and the third sister-in-law An You were helping with the work. The two sisters-in-law were talking and laughing, and the atmosphere was harmonious as you wiped the table and I wiped the stools.
An You, who had just finished her confinement, was still wearing a hat at home to keep warm. She left her youngest son Xiang Youjie to be taken care of by his mother, and helped clean the house and do some light chores.
Everyone didn't want the woman who had just given birth to come and work, but she had been out of confinement for more than a month and they were afraid that her sister-in-law would gossip.
Sometimes it’s hard to explain the relationship between sisters-in-law. Everything should be fair. An You didn’t want to come after giving birth, but after thinking about it, she decided to come out to help.
I would rather endure a little fatigue than be nagged by my sister-in-law, which would affect the harmony of the family.
The second sister Xiang Meimei explained things in the fifth sister's room, including some tips on how to control her husband.
Xiang Mianmian had almost finished chatting with everyone when she suddenly felt a little strange. She looked around at the female generals at home and asked, "Where are Dad and Big Brother? Why aren't they home? Did something happen when they went out?"
Holding two bowls of red date and egg tea, Zhang Jidi gave one bowl to Bi Zhengxian and one bowl to his daughter.
She couldn't stop smiling. "I went to help your fifth brother-in-law. His caravan took advantage of the favorable conditions of the canal and he's been so busy. We're relatives, so we have to help."
