The days passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye it was February 5th. There were only nine days left until the Chinese New Year, and Feng Xiaomei had already had four days off.
Today is Sunday and Ye Zhiqiu is on vacation, so the two of them are lying in bed and don't want to get up.
He thought for a moment, then asked Feng Xiaomei, "Wife, why don't we go back to my house today?"
Feng Xiaomei took Ye Zhiqiu's mischievous hand away, rolled her eyes at him, and then replied, "Have you forgotten what my uncle said the day before yesterday? I'm going to visit my master's house today. My father was poor when he was in school, and it was my master who paid for him to go to school. He treated my father like his own son, and now that my father is gone, this blow has caused his health to collapse. I have to go visit and take care of him on behalf of our family."
Ye Zhiqiu sighed and said, "Well, let's split up. Although my mother and the others are always thinking about you, you have responsibilities and obligations to attend to. Don't worry, I will tell them that I miss you and care about you."
"Well, didn't my uncle bring some candy and cookies when he went abroad for academic exchange? Remember to bring some back for my little sister. She loves them."
"Tsk tsk, I don't know what good things this girl did in her past life. I won't say anything about the fact that she has loving parents in this life. After all, they took care of her until she learned to run. My godfather was the same way, he doted on her to no end. Now that she has a sister-in-law like you, she's bound to be even more lawless..."
The two of them stayed in bed and whispered to each other, and didn't get up to wash until nine o'clock.
Ye Zhiqiu had to go home. He hadn't been home for so many days. Ye Tianya said that Wang Xiaolan missed him. If he didn't go home, it seemed that she would go to the Feng family to kill him.
After kissing Feng Xiaomei, Ye Zhiqiu took the things she had prepared and left Feng's house.
The house was allocated to Feng Yuanzheng, but it was also left to them, mother and daughter, and would be their home from now on. However, Feng Xiaomei still had to wait and see about her work arrangements. If the house allocation was close to both places, she would naturally move out.
Chen Yuqing had been gone for so many days, and there had been no news at all. However, the two of them were not particularly worried because she had been picked up by military personnel. Perhaps due to some reasons, she was unable to return so soon.
Ye Zhiqiu rode his bicycle away from here. Because Feng Xiaomei waited for him in the guard room every day, he was well known to the security personnel.
What can I say? After all, she is still unmarried and lives here, so there are still some gossips, but Ye Zhiqiu doesn't care. Feng Xiaomei doesn't want to care too much either. After all, living alone makes her feel scared and she can't help but think of the past.
This is recorded in her file, so gossip has no impact on her, and even if others report it, it will not be accepted.
The temperature is not that scary now. It is minus four or five degrees Celsius at night, and occasionally soars by one or two degrees at noon, which is considered a normal temperature.
Of course, if it snows, the temperature will definitely drop a lot.
I rode slowly all the way. There was no rush anyway. I would go home to have lunch with my family, and then ride slowly back to Feng's house in the afternoon. It would be time to go to work again tomorrow.
I haven't been able to slack off these past few days, as it's almost the end of the year and there's a ton of transportation to do. Some factories even offer beer as a year-end bonus, requiring transport teams to haul beer and bring back the exchange items.
No one wanted money. Everyone was discussing exchanging materials. After all, every factory had money, but if they couldn't exchange it for materials, it would just be a pile of paper.
After approaching Sanlitun, Ye Zhiqiu gathered a bunch of food and put it in the basket. His life with Feng Xiaomei was so free and easy!
Because Feng Xiaomei is a confused girl and is easy to fool. She just asked where the pork came from, and then Ye Zhiqiu didn't even bother to explain!
I just hugged her, kissed her, touched her, and then she couldn't remember the topic anymore, after all, she was confused by the kisses.
Unlike the Ye family, Wang Xiaolan asked, and then it was Wang Fugui's turn to ask. The key is that these two people are not easy to fool.
After Ye Zhiqiu returned to Sanlitun, he was surprised to find a group of people lining up on the street. He didn't know what they were doing.
As he approached, someone said to him, "No, comrade, what are you thinking? Why are you riding a bicycle to a neighborhood mobilization meeting?"
Ye Zhiqiu was dumbfounded. He knew about the whole-hospital meeting, but what was this street mobilization meeting?
So he quickly asked, "Brother, although I live here, I haven't been staying in Sanlitun recently due to work. I just came back home on Sunday because I have a day off. What kind of meeting is this?"
"Oh, so you're a worker? That's none of your business. This time, our subdistrict office is mobilizing unemployed people to break ice and catch fish in winter. We'll supply all the fish we catch to the residents of our subdistrict office at a low price, giving everyone a meaty side dish for the New Year. After all, it's said that each household can only be provided with half a pound of pork during the New Year this year. So, we're holding a meeting to explain the whole process and all the precautions!"
Ye Zhiqiu thanked him quickly, then pushed his bicycle and slowly walked around the crowd. When he arrived at the entrance of his alley, he saw Wang Xiaolan shouting in the distance, asking people to line up and not speak loudly or make trouble.
Looks like she's going to be very busy today!
Ye Zhiqiu had no choice. This was how work was at the subdistrict office. When it was busy, she was constantly busy. When it was free, she could chat and gossip with people all day long...
Just as he pushed the bicycle back to the outside of the yard, Ye Bailu and the others exclaimed inside.
"Yeah, Third Brother's flight is the longest!"
"No, that's Xiaolan's!"
"Humph, that's obviously mine, you're talking nonsense."
Ye Zhiqiu didn't know what they were playing. When he arrived at the door, a paper airplane landed there. Ye Bailu, who ran over to pick it up, saw Ye Zhiqiu and immediately ran back to the living room, shouting happily, "Brother, brother is back! Second brother, third brother, fourth sister, grandpa, dad, uncle, aunt, my brother is back!"
Ye Zhiqiu was speechless. It was only about ten days, but why was this girl so exaggerated, making it seem like he had been away for half a year!
Ye Wubing took over the bicycle. He rubbed Qian Xiaofang's head, who was holding his left hand, and said jokingly with a smile, "Xiaofang seems to have grown taller. She's at least 1.5 meters tall now, right?"
Qian Xiaofang said happily: "Brother, I am now 1.51 meters tall!"
Qian Yuanjun said cheerfully, "Hey, without shoes, he's less than 1.5 meters tall!"
"Brother, you are so annoying..."
After chatting for a while, Ye Zhiqiu instructed them to put their things away, take the things Feng Xiaomei had prepared, and walk back to the living room together.
Hearing Ye Bailu's call, everyone couldn't sit still and opened the door and walked out.
Ye Zhiqiu hurriedly shouted, "What are you doing? The heating will be out soon. Everyone go back to the living room. It makes me feel like I've been discharged from the army again..."
