Time flies by like a flash, and it’s the end of February in a blink of an eye.
Today is Director Chu's break from work. When Miss Ni was carrying the heavy fruit stand alone in the morning, he was still lying on the bed in a wooden shape and soundly asleep.
It wasn't until three o'clock in the morning that this guy, who was full of sleep, was willing to get out of the warm quilt.
After finishing the process of getting dressed, washing up, and detoxifying, he took out the breakfast that Miss Ni had put in the pot to heat up before leaving and prepared to eat.
The yellow and orange steamed buns, the crystal clear stick noodle porridge, and the black shredded pickles, there is nothing else.
True and unpretentious.
Since marrying Ni Yinghong, the quality of his food has plummeted, but after this period of adaptation, Chu Heng has become accustomed to it.
Bite a steamed bun, eat a piece of pickles, and then drink porridge with a bowl of "Hululu", which is delicious for a big dog.
The joy of eating meals carefully cooked by the woman you love every day is something that singles cannot experience.
After eating and drinking, he lit another after-dinner cigarette and leaned back on the chair to puff away happily.
One step closer to lung cancer...
Even though he had a day off today, there was still a lot going on.
It was early spring this year, and the weather was getting a little warm at the end of February. The coal stove was no longer useful, so he had to evacuate quickly while taking advantage of the rest.
The shed where the briquettes are stored is also a little falling apart, and some wooden boards need to be found to reinforce it.
Then there was the roof. During the Chinese New Year, some bastard threw a firecracker on the roof of his house, which broke several tiles. He had to replace it as soon as possible, otherwise when the spring rain came down, the house would definitely leak.
The time of the day is clearly arranged.
Life is nothing more than daily necessities, and even a big boss like Director Chu cannot escape.
After smoking a cigarette, Chu Heng took the dishes and chopsticks to the sink in the courtyard and washed them with a splash.
While Zheng Huan was busy, Yu Li from across the street came out for a walk with a big belly. Seeing him washing dishes for a long time, she smiled and said, "Director Chu, why are you doing the dishes at this hour?"
"I have a break from work today. I slept a little longer before finishing my meal." Chu Heng rinsed the plate happily, glanced at Yu Li's belly, and asked, "How many months have you been here?"
"It's been more than seven months, and I will give birth in more than two months." Yu Li touched her belly and complained: "I haven't felt comfortable for a day since I was pregnant with this ancestor. It's really difficult for us women."
Chu Heng blinked when he heard this and silently calculated the time. Now at the end of February, there will be more than two months until the birth...
This couple is really good at picking the right time, it’s very memorable!
"It's not easy. Ten months of pregnancy, hardships turn into tears, and a mother is like a spring silkworm, dying only." Chu Heng sighed with emotion, picked up the washed plate and bowl of empty water, wiped himself and walked back: "Okay, I There is still life at home, so I won’t talk to you anymore.”
"You are busy with your business." Yu Li smacked her lips, thinking about what Chu Heng said just now, and couldn't help but feel miserable: "Director Chu still understands women!"
Director Chu, who understands women, went back to the house and put away his things, changed into old clothes and started to prepare to dismantle the stove.
First, tear off the paper strips sewn on the windows, open the windows for ventilation, and then dismantle the iron tubes on the stove one by one and move them outside the house.
You must be gentle when moving this thing. This tube is full of black ash from smoke. It is very light and fine. If it falls out, it will float all over the room. It is very difficult to clean, and it is also easy to be picked up by Xiao Ni. Nagging...
After carefully removing the iron tube, Chu Heng moved the coal stove to the briquette shed and put it away until next winter.
In fact, most people also use briquette stoves in summer.
Housing is tight at this time, and few families have dedicated kitchens. In addition, liquefied gas is not yet popular, and only some pilot families in the western suburbs are eligible to use it. Therefore, most families build a small shed outside their door in the summer. Use the coal stove as a stove for cooking.
However, Chu Heng's family doesn't use it. He has a stove in the outhouse, so he doesn't need to burn a coal stove in the summer. This is something that Miss Ni is very satisfied with.
In the summer, the coal-burning stove is very smoky. How can the stove be comfortable to use?
After placing the stove, Chu Heng went back to the house to find a straight wooden stick that would make a man's heart beat, and tied some straw on one end to use it to clean the black ash in the iron tube.
"What are you busy with, Brother Hengzi?"
Just as he was about to carry the iron tube to the outside of the hospital, Liu Guangtian, the number one loser, suddenly ran up and said with a playful smile: "Why are you doing the work by yourself? Just say something to me."
"I didn't know you were at home." Chu Heng was not polite at all. He raised his hand and waved: "Come on, come on, hurry up and carry her out of the hospital together."
"Okay." Liu Guangtian stepped forward quickly, not afraid of getting his clothes dirty. He picked up the two tubes and walked out in a hurry. He was very motivated and showed no reluctance.
Ever since he met Director Chu, his status in the family has skyrocketed. He has been talking about me for a while, but he hasn't beaten him for a few days, and sometimes even gives him a piece of the eggs!
So now he is more and more respectful to Chu Heng, and he plans to hug this thick thigh to death!
Well, the premise is that this thigh has been standing, it will not work if it falls...
Having more people made the work much faster. The two brothers cooperated with each other and cleared the tin tube in a short time.
After stuffing the things into the briquette shed, Chu Heng took out a cigarette and threw one to Liu Guangtian, and said: "After you smoke, you ride my car to the carton factory down the street and borrow their hand saw. I will follow them." The factory director agreed, just go and mention my name."
"Why wait until you finish smoking? I'll go right away." Liu Guangtian put the newly lit cigarette in his mouth and stretched out his hand to him: "Give me the car keys."
"It won't be long, why are you in a hurry?" Chu Heng reached into his pocket funnyly and took out the key to him.
"It's better to finish it quickly and quickly."
Liu Guangtian turned around, pushed the car and ran out of the yard. His movements were as agile as a monkey.
This is all what he learned over the years when his father used his belt to chase him away!
A history full of blood and tears!
Chu Heng didn't wait any longer and went to the backyard after smoking.
There are a lot of old tiles stored in the wing room in the backyard. Anyone whose roof needs repairing will go there to get it.
After going to the place to pick and choose, he quickly selected a dozen complete tiles.
After carrying the things out of the ear room, Chu Heng walked back with a bang. When he passed the moon gate of the middle courtyard, Qin Jingru suddenly appeared on the opposite side. The little woman walked in with a cry and a small bundle in her hand.
A couple quarreling?
Chu Heng's melon-eating spirit rekindled, and he opened his mouth to ask about the situation. Finally, after thinking about it, he decided to forget it. We'd better not mess with others at this time. It would be the same if we eat the melon later.
So he passed by Miss Jingru with his head down.
After returning home and placing the tiles, he found nails and a hammer, then squatted under the window with a cup of tea and drank it.
Before he finished his cup of tea, Liu Guangtian rode back.
Chu Heng was not in a hurry. When he had a cigarette and took a breather, the two of them started sawing wood and nailing shelves, and started working hard.
