The next morning, Huang's mother got up as usual and prepared to go to the store. As she was about to leave quietly, she suddenly heard a slight noise and saw Huang Wenbin coming out of the house.
"Binzi, why are you getting up so early? It's not even dawn yet." Huang's mother asked.
"I'm used to getting up at this time. I'm going out for a run right away. Mom, what are you doing?" Huang Wenbin's voice was a little hoarse.
"I'm going to the store to make dumplings. You can come directly to the store for breakfast after you finish your run." Huang's mother smiled slightly. She was very pleased to see her son's growth.
An hour and a half later, Huang Wenbin finished his run and appeared in the bun shop, sweating profusely. His forehead and neck were covered with sweat, and his head was steaming, as if he had just walked out of a steamer. Seeing this, his aunt-in-law quickly took a towel and handed it to him.
"Oh, it's so cold, why are you sweating? Hurry up and wipe it off so you don't get cold."
Huang Wenbin took the towel, wiped his neck and head casually a few times, and said with a smile:
"It's okay, aunt. We get a lot more exercise in the army. I'll come over for dinner and then go home to change clothes."
"I'll get you a bowl of soup first. The buns will be ready soon." The aunt-in-law looked at Huang Wenbin with heartache and hurried to the kitchen to get busy.
At the same time, the other members of the Huang family also woke up. Wen Xia was about to change a new hair ornament when she ran into the room where Huang Wenbin was temporarily staying.
"Brother, brother, are you up? I'm coming in." She shouted a few times, and when no one responded, she pushed the door open and walked in.
After coming out, Wenxia said to Huang Wenrong in surprise, "Sister, big brother didn't stay in bed. He's not at home. He even tidied the room and folded the quilt very nicely."
"Really? I'll go check it out."
Huang Wenrong followed Wenxia into the room curiously. He saw that the bed was perfectly flat and the quilt was neatly folded.
"Oh my God, is this still a quilt? It's a block of tofu! It turns out that this is the biggest change in our eldest brother!" Huang Wenrong exclaimed.
Xu Mengyao, who rushed over after hearing the news, nodded repeatedly and said in agreement: "I hope that big brother can keep up this good habit."
As the three sisters were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps outside the door. It turned out that Huang Wenbin had finished breakfast and returned.
"Brother, don't forget to report to the Railway Bureau today. Remember to find Director Chen." Xu Mengyao reminded him.
"I know, I know. You've said this more than a dozen times since yesterday. Your brother is not a fool. You should hurry up and eat and go to class."
Huang Wenbin shook his head helplessly and waved his hand to signal them to set off quickly.
The first thing Xu Mengyao said when she got home from school was:
"How's Big Brother?"
"It's done. I'll start work tomorrow." Huang Wenbin replied with a smile.
"That's great! Then you should call Grandpa Qi and tell him the news." Xu Mengyao clapped her hands excitedly.
"We've fought a long time ago. You don't know if I'm the older brother or you're the older sister. You've got a lot to worry about at such a young age. Be careful not to grow taller." Huang Wenbin said half-jokingly.
Xu Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and went back to her room, leaving Huang Wenbin alone, laughing and shaking his head. From then on, Huang Wenbin officially became a railway worker.
In the blink of an eye, half a month passed, and the three members of the Qi family rushed from Haishi to Huanshi to celebrate the Spring Festival with the Huang family.
"Uncle, since you are retired, why not stay in Huanshi for a while while Maomao is not in school?" Huang's father invited enthusiastically.
"No, no." Maomao waved his hands hurriedly, his little face turning red with anxiety.
"What's wrong, Maomao? Don't you want to live at your godfather's house?" Father Huang asked in confusion, frowning slightly.
Maomao looked like he was about to cry: "I want to live here, but if we don't go back, Dahei, Xiaobai and Xiaohui will starve to death."
"Ah? Who is Dahei?"
Grandma Qi explained with a smile, "Dahei is the dog Chen Chen gave him, and Xiaobai and Xiaohui are the rabbits Wenjuan gave him. He's been raising these three little guys from the beginning, and they have a very good relationship. This time, he left them with the nanny next door to take care of them while he was away, but he's still worried about them."
"It shows that our Maomao is a good and responsible child." Xu Mengyao praised from the side.
Maomao ran away embarrassedly after hearing this. The adults couldn't help but burst into laughter and continued chatting about family matters.
"Grandpa Qi, have you bought the public housing provided by your company?"
Grandma Qi took over the conversation and said with some anger:
"I bought it, I bought it, I spent 42,000. Juan, will this house really be worth a lot in the future? You don't know, your grandmother Li told me that a lot of people at work said we were stupid and had a lot of money, but we had no place to spend it."
Xu Mengyao smiled and comforted him, "Yes, don't worry. How is Grandma Li doing recently? When you go back this time, you can help me pay her the rent for next year."
"She's doing fine. She hasn't been idle since she retired and returned to Hai City. She made a lot of money by buying stocks with a group of people. She was lucky because she sold her money early and avoided the decline. You don't know that several people in Hai City committed suicide because of stock losses in the past few months. She invested the money in Great Wall Technology Company and earned interest. I also invested with her. The interest is twice as high as that of the bank." Grandma Qi said with a smile.
"Ah? Twice as high as the bank interest? What company is so profitable?" Huang's mother also became interested when she heard it.
"Great Wall Mechanical & Electrical, a technology manufacturing company. Old Qi, please tell them about it."
Grandpa Qi nodded and slowly said, "Okay, let me tell you. When Old Li came to her and told her about the investment, I didn't agree. But later I learned from newspapers and news that Shen Taifu of Great Wall Electromechanical invented a high-efficiency energy-saving motor last year, and passed the appraisal of scientific and technological achievements at Diaoyutai, and also received key instructions.
Director Li of the National Science and Technology Commission even visited Great Wall Company and left a message: 'May Great Wall's goals be realized soon.' This reassured me and I agreed."
After hearing this, Mr. Huang stood up and flipped through the newspaper, pointing to a page and saying,
"I often see news about Great Wall Motors. They say they've invested 50 million yuan in developing this energy-saving motor. If only one-third of the wind turbines currently in operation in China were equipped with this motor, it would save the country 40 billion kilowatts of electricity per year."
"Oh, that's great. It can save the country so much electricity. Let me see how it was invested." Huang's mother asked excitedly.
However, just as everyone was immersed in the discussion, Xu Mengyao interrupted the conversation with a frown:
"Grandma Qi, how much money did you invest?"
This question startled everyone present. Grandma Qi answered with some surprise:
"Your Grandpa Qi and I pooled our family savings and invested 150,000 yuan. What's wrong with that?"
