"Mom, are you in the house?" Dazhi asked standing in the yard.
"Here, there!"
Yang Ruoqing responded from the air, placed a set of clean clothes at the door of the bathroom, quickly came to the door and opened the door, and saw Dazhi and Xiao Qiao standing hand in hand in the yard.
Seeing the door open, the two of them were startled. Xiao Qiao quickly took her hand out of his palm, her pale face became rosy, and stood aside.
And Dazhi seemed to have completely realized it. He stood there with no red face and no beating heart. He could even look at Yang Ruoqing's cheerful smile, with great happiness filling the corners of his eyes and eyebrows.
When Yang Ruoqing saw the two of them like this, her heart that had been hanging all night finally settled down.
She also understood that they had made the clearest and firmest decision, and they came here specifically to tell her this moment.
Yang Ruoqing quickly ran towards them both with a smile, bypassed Dazhi, and came over to hold Xiao Qiao's hand.
"Why are you here so early? Are you cold with these little clothes? Aren't your hands warm?"
If Xiao Qiao was a little nervous on the way here, she was afraid that Yang Ruoqing, a high-ranking future mother-in-law, would dislike her poor health.
So when Yang Ruoqing held her hand and greeted her with greetings, Xiao Qiao understood.
She curved her lips and smiled sweetly, "I'm not cold. I'm wearing plenty of clothes underneath."
Yang Ruoqing nodded, "Where's the stove to warm your hands?"
Xiao Qiao was stunned for a moment and said embarrassedly: "I was in such a hurry that I forgot..."
Yang Ruoqing immediately turned around and glared at Dazhi: "This is your mistake. As a man, you should remember it!"
Dazhi touched his nose and smiled sheepishly.
"Mom, Xiao Qiao and I came here early to wish you a happy New Year!" Dazhi said again.
Xiao Qiao also stood up straight, looking at Yang Ruoqing shyly and respectfully.
Yang Ruoqing looked at the two of them, "Okay, very good. So what? You girls are taking a shower and changing clothes, and Aunt Hongxiu is preparing to dress for the reunion. Are you coming in now to sit down, or later?"
Yang Ruoqing was worried that the two of them would be embarrassed if they came in now, so she told them the staffing and other information in the room in advance.
Dazhi and Xiao Qiao looked at each other, and when Xiao Qiao blinked, Dazhi said to Yang Ruoqing, "Mom, you guys go about your business first. Xiao Qiao and I will come back to talk to you later."
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
The two turned around and left. Xiao Qiao and Da Zhi couldn't help but glance at each other secretly. They both saw the surprise and surprise in each other's eyes.
Just because Yang Ruoqing said 'you girls'...
Is this really acknowledged?
"Wait a moment." Yang Ruoqing's voice suddenly came from behind.
"What about that, Xiao Qiao? This morning our family is going to Grandma Ga's house where we are reunited to pay New Year greetings. If it's convenient for you, why don't you go and have fun together?"
This invitation was also made by Yang Ruoqing after careful consideration. It was not an impulsive decision.
Last night, she lay in bed tossing and turning for several hours, thinking about these questions in her mind.
If they both break up, there's nothing to think about.
If the two of them decide to be together, then from today on, from the first day of the new year, she will have an additional identity, that is, a good mother-in-law!
"Mom, Xiao Qiao and I...is this convenient?" Dazhi suppressed the surprise in his heart and asked again.
Yang Ruoqing said: "Of course it's convenient."
Dazhi looked at Xiao Qiao excitedly.
Excitement also welled up in Xiao Qiao's eyes, but she still suppressed her excitement and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Aunt, I would like to ask, am I the only one going to go with you to pay New Year greetings, or are cousin Yao Ying and the others going?"
Yang Ruoqing smiled meaningfully: "These days you have been at our house and have been lingering on the hospital bed, I have never taken you out for a walk. The weather is nice today, so you can go for a walk with us. As for Yao Ying and the others... they are not in a hurry. "
Because she hasn't crossed the bright road yet, there are certain things that Yang Ruoqing can't choose.
As long as the meaning is conveyed.
Xiao Qiao and Da Zhi looked at each other, and Xiao Qiao smiled shyly: "Okay, thank you aunt for the invitation. I will go back to the house to change clothes."
She was used to wearing plain clothes on weekdays, and today she went to her grandmother-in-law's house next door to visit relatives in some unspoken capacity. She must change into something relatively festive, which is also a sign of respect for her elders.
"Okay, you two go ahead. After you change your clothes, go to the dining hall to eat. After dinner, we've finished our work here and we'll set off together."
…
Heiyangshu Coal Mine.
Ouyang Heng walked at the front, followed by a group of miners.
The miners looked excited and whispered in the background. They were a little scared at first, but then they saw that Ouyang Heng did not scold him, and they became bolder.
"Brother Wang, can we really go home?"
An extremely thin man asked in a weak tone.
"Of course it's okay. Will adults still lie to you?" Wang Dafu glared at him.
"Come on, I was deceived. My father and mother are still waiting at home." The man lowered his head and whispered.
"You are only sixteen years old this year, and you have only been in the mine for less than half a year. Look at some of them. They have been in the mine for a few years. They are much older than you. They are not in a hurry. Why are you so anxious?" Wang Dafu road.
"Brother Wang, we are also in a hurry."
"Yes, we can't bear it anymore."
"If I could go home and take a look, I would be willing to die, hey."
"Have mercy on my wife, she might have remarried a long time ago."
The people pointed at by Wang Dafu all said with bitter faces.
At the beginning, the sixteen-year-old man almost laughed out loud, and he hurriedly reached out to cover his mouth.
"You guys..."
"Hey, it's normal to want to go back. Once the adults have taken care of the arrangements, they will let us go home." Wang Dafu sighed.
Among these people, Wang Dafu is one of the few miners who does not want to go home.
In fact, it cannot be said that they do not want to go home, but that they have no home at all.
"Brother Wang, we believe in you and the adults. We are just impatient. We were not so impatient before. Now that we can go back, we become more impatient."
"Yeah, very anxious."
"We can wait, brother Wang, don't worry, just leave us alone."
A group of them approached the front while chatting.
"What's going on over there?"
"It's a big bathhouse, can't you tell?"
"That was the gate of the big bathhouse used by the supervisors and guards. There were many pools inside. I know that once, I heard two supervisors chatting inside. They said they were going to take a bath together in the evening after work."
"You really enjoy it."
A group of people have arrived at the gate.
Standing at the door was a soldier. He was a member of the elite cavalry brought by Luo Fengtang. He was assigned to work here because he was good at communication, had a good temperament, and was born in a peasant family. He was an authentic peasant boy.
