After the first snow of winter came, the second snow was also very fast. At this time, Chen Jianguo went home after the snow fell and the road became easier to walk on. He lived in the county town for the rest of the time.
But before it snowed, Su Xia had already sent the things she had prepared for Chen's father and mother.
It was after dinner that Chen Jianguo was asked to carry it over. The main reason was that the big quilt took up too much space, and no one else could carry it except Chen Jianguo.
"Look at Mom and Dad. They let us come here to live with us, but you're not happy about it?" Su Xia complained as she packed her things.
Chen Jianguo looked at Su Xia tenderly, his heart almost bubbling with emotion.
"We are not used to it, and Dad has a smoking habit and he is worried about the children." Chen Jianguo really had no idea about his parents moving in. It was close and there was no need. Besides, they had lived in the old house for so many years, they would definitely be reluctant to leave.
Su Xia handed the bag to the man and said, "Okay, when I get a chance in the future, I'll get you a coal stove so you can stay warm in the winter."
Upon hearing this, Chen Jianguo gave his wife a loving kiss, then before Su Xia could get angry, he picked up the quilt, picked up the bag and left immediately.
Su Xia touched her cheek, looked at the door shyly, and gritted her teeth.
"Mom, Daddy kisses you!" Although Dabao said it calmly, Su Xia still felt like watching the fun.
The two brothers had similar faces and stared at her curiously.
Su Xia.....
In the old house, Chen's father and mother had been waiting anxiously, and even a blind man could see the smile on their faces.
Hearing the sound outside the door, Chen's mother immediately said, "Boss, is that you?"
"It's me, Dad and Mom, have you been waiting for me?" After Chen Jianguo answered, the door opened. After winter, there was a thick cotton curtain on the kitchen door.
Also hang one on the bedroom door, otherwise the heat in the room will escape quickly.
After Chen Jianguo entered the bedroom, he immediately felt that the temperature in the room was indeed lower than that at home. The bedroom was large and empty, without a coal stove, and they used a kang for heating. How could he last until the second half of the night?
"Mom and Dad, it's really cold here. Why don't you move over there?"
Chen's father and mother were happily touching the thick quilt, but when they heard what their eldest son said, they immediately became angry.
"Why go? We have lived here for many years and are used to it!" Father Chen refused.
"Yes, and besides, we live close together. There's no need for us to live together." Mother Chen now likes the old two children to live alone more and more.
Think about the past, it was just a life-threatening thing.
Seeing that he could not persuade her, Chen Jianguo stopped trying and took out Su Xia's original package, which contained Su Xia and Su Xia's discarded thermal underwear. Although they had been worn, for Chen's father and mother, they were no different from new ones.
"This thing is good. I can wear it when I sleep at night and I won't feel cold at all." Chen's mother had been thinking about this thing. She had a set before, but it was not enough for changing. She didn't expect it to be sent to her again.
There was also two pairs of woolen socks for each person, and Chen's father had a sweater, which was also discarded by Chen Jianguo.
Su Xia also made a cotton vest for Chen's mother, which contained several kilograms of cotton.
Chen's mother immediately put it on excitedly and showed off to her husband, "How is it? Does it fit?"
"It fits perfectly, it fits perfectly, it fits perfectly!" Father Chen confirmed hurriedly without even looking at it.
The corner of Chen Jianguo's mouth twitched. He had learned another lesson. Seeing how happy Chen's mother looked, it seemed that she was happier about being praised than about clothes.
In fact, Su Xia didn't prepare much. The quilt was ready, and even if she wanted to change the quilt cover, she would take it out from the space.
The thermal underwear has all been worn by us, so just wash it once. The woolen socks are also in the space, and there are still a lot of them. I guess they are enough to wear until we lie in the coffin.
Chen's father made sweaters because men don't wear them, and Chen's mother asked Su Xia to make them, using a sewing machine, so she wasn't really tired.
After Chen Jianguo returned home, Su Xia was listening to the radio with the two children. This was a daily necessity since the radio came into the house.
Seeing this scene, Chen Jianguo also took off his coat, got on the kang, sat next to Su Xia, and listened together.
Su Xia glanced at 깊 and asked, "Dad and Mom didn't say anything, right?"
"No, we are so happy, how can we dislike it?"
Su Xia nodded and continued listening to the radio. It wasn't really that interesting. Apart from the main station, there wasn't much else. It was all about activities promoting the "educated youth going to the countryside" movement, and operas and the like.
However, the children listened with great interest, so Su Xia followed them.
The whole family waited and waited, and finally Niu Niu had a holiday. This was also the time when the big fat pigs in the family were slaughtered.
Su Xia finally decided, "After we sell all the pigs, let's go to the county town and stay there for a few days, okay?"
"Mom, I can do anything!" Niu Niu answered sensibly.
"Mom, I agree too." Dabao also expressed his opinion.
"Mom.....baby, baby" Erbao blurted out one word, and there was nothing after it.
Su Xia sighed in disappointment, as did Niu Niu and Dabao, and then they resumed their daily teaching sessions.
"Brother, call me mother"
"Come, call me daddy"
"Call me sister"
"Call me brother!"
......
Su Xia ignored the child and went to discuss selling the pig with Chen's parents.
"That's fine. Feeding it any more won't yield anything, and it can save some food." Father Chen didn't object. Mother Chen felt sorry for it. She had been feeding the pig for a year, and it had grown from a small pig to this big. How could she bear it?
It's a pity that Chen's mother loves her so much, not to mention Chen's father, even Su Xia and Chen Jianguo don't care.
When the man came back in the evening, Su Xia told him about selling the pig.
"Okay, I'll go see Brother Wang tomorrow!" Chen Jianguo also agreed.
"Wife, what will the steel mill do if there are so many?"
Su Xia heard this without any worries, and looked at the worried eyes of the man's father and mother.
"There are more than just steel mills available. Besides, doesn't your company need them?" She looked at the man unhappily.
Chen Jianguo was stunned. He had never thought of this before. This behavior instead caused his father and mother to dislike him.
"You are just a blockhead, not as smart as your wife." Mother Chen said unhappily. Seeing Su Xia's confident look, she was no longer worried. Who doesn't need meat?
Chen Jianguo was embarrassed as he was eating. As a grown man, he always spoke directly. Besides, he felt a little embarrassed to sell the food to his own company.
I remember the bland food in the cafeteria and my subordinates complaining that there were no good benefits for the New Year. I didn't take it seriously, but now I'm the deputy station chief, and it seems I really need to think carefully about the people below me.
After Chen Jianguo finished washing the dishes, he came in and discussed with Su Xia that he wanted to reserve one for the unit.
Su Xia rolled her eyes and said, "Now think clearly, you are the deputy station chief. Although you are not responsible for purchasing, you are looking for benefits for the employees. Why do you have a share of purchasing?"
"Hasn't it sucked in the monsters yet?" Chen Jianguo didn't expect his wife to be so thoughtful. As a cadre, it's not enough to just finish the work in your hands.
Su Xia nodded. This was the good thing about Chen Jianguo: he was not too patriarchal and would listen to opinions.
The next day, after Chen Jianguo went to work, he first went to the cafeteria kitchen.
"Deputy Station Master Zhao, how did you get here?" The chef looked anxious. We shouldn't have made any mistakes, right?
"Nothing, come and have a look!" Looking at the warehouse, there are only potatoes, cabbages and radishes, which are essential for winter. In fact, there is really nothing. Leaders' meals are not popular nowadays, and everyone eats the same thing.
"How do you usually purchase meat, and how often do you eat meat again?" Chen Jianguo asked before leaving.
Everyone in the kitchen was stunned, and then the chef said, "The station has a cellar, and we buy a lot every year. That's how we get vegetables all winter. As for meat, we only get it once a month, but we have to order it in advance, otherwise we won't have enough meat. There are more than 100 people in our station, right?"
After Chen Jianguo was relieved, he left the kitchen, leaving a few people confused.
"What does Deputy Station Master Chen mean by this?" asked the kitchen helper.
"Go away - get back to work!" the chef chased the person away.
The others had no choice but to go to work, wondering what was going on. They racked their brains but couldn't guess what it was.
