After feeding the baby, Ni Yinghong handed the two little ones to the deaf old lady and the two sisters, and then went to the bathroom to wash her face briefly and go to the toilet.
When she came out, Yang Guizhi was almost there, and soon the whole family gathered lively in the main room to have dinner.
"What's on TV today?"
"It's like Red Lantern."
"Why is it another red light story? It's not over yet!"
"Not tomorrow. I heard from a colleague in our unit that there will be a tunnel battle tomorrow."
"It's good to fight in the underground world. I love watching that. Jingru, please remember to call me your wife tomorrow."
"I know, old lady."
"Hey, Huniu, you can't eat chili peppers, let go...this girl has really fast hands!"
"Hey, by the way, I heard this morning that Ran Qiuye fell down while working and his bones were all cracked. Jingru, please go and have a look with me tomorrow. I happen to have some spareribs at home. Send them to them. .”
"Hey, why is this girl so careless? Yinghong, when you leave tomorrow, go to my house and bring the wild ginseng that Xiaoxuanzi gave you last time to replenish her."
"Oh, I remember my wife."
It was warm in the heated main room. The only person at the table was blowing bubbles and playing. There were only a group of women left eating and chatting. The scene was exceptionally harmonious. It felt like someone was missing someone. Pretty much the same.
"Dong dong dong."
At this moment, there was a sudden knock on the door.
Everyone in the room, except for the deaf old lady who was not very good at hearing, all moved together. Yang Guizhi quickly put down her chopsticks, stood up, and walked out chattering: "Who is this? Why did you come here at this point? Do you want to have a meal or something? ?”
"Crunch!"
She trotted through the snow in the yard to the front yard and opened the door. She saw Xie Jun waiting outside the door, with a military green Jiefang parked quietly behind him.
"It's Xiao Jun'er, come in, come in, what's going on with you?" Yang Guizhi quickly turned sideways and asked him to come in, looking at the soldiers carrying things out of the truck with confusion. .
"Sister Guizhi." Xie Jun called someone politely, pointed behind him with a smile, and said, "Isn't that right? Chu Heng brought back hundreds of things from outside. I'll give them to you. You can take a look at them. Where to put it?”
"Did Hengzi bring it back? What is this?" Yang Guizhi curiously looked at the square cardboard boxes that were moved from the car.
"In the carton are TVs. There are twenty TVs in total. In addition to this, there are also some New Year's goods awarded to Chu Heng by our unit." Xie Jun said with a smile.
"What the hell? TV? Twenty more?!" Yang Guizhi couldn't help but exclaimed. Even the two yards next door heard her. She looked dazedly at the cardboard boxes placed haphazardly on the snow. , didn't even bother to greet Xie Jun, turned around and ran towards the courtyard.
In the blink of an eye, the eldest sister ran back to the backyard, rushed into the main room, and shouted to the few who were still eating: "This is incredible, come and take a look. Tsuneko asked someone to send back twenty sets." television!"
When they heard the word Hengzi, Ni Yinghong and Qin Jingru's hearts suddenly twitched, and the lovesickness that they had suppressed in their hearts instantly surged out like a tide, occupying their entire bodies and minds.
"What kind of devil is he doing? Why do you have such an old TV?" Ni Yinghong put down her chopsticks with a happy face and hurried to the front yard, wanting to find out about her husband.
"I'll go take a look too."
Qin Jingru also quickly got up and followed, and then her eldest cousin also ran to join in the fun.
The two old ladies also wanted to go and have a look, but when they went into the house, no one saw the child. They could only suppress their curiosity, and one person held the child and the other comforted him.
When Ni Yinghong and the others arrived at the front yard, many neighbors had gathered in front of her house, standing outside curiously looking at the things that had been moved from the car.
"It can't really be TV, can it?"
"Isn't it possible? Director Chu, why does he do all this?"
"Everyone said it was TV."
"Hey, why is there still half a fan of pork?"
"Tsk tsk, look at this little rapeseed. It's so tender and green. This is the first time I've seen such fresh rapeseed in the winter. It must be a greenhouse vegetable in the western suburbs!"
During the discussion, Ni Yinghong came to the door first. She had already understood clearly from Yang Guizhi. After she glanced at the TVs, she looked at the New Year's goods. What she could see were half a fan of pork and a large basket of green vegetables. , a small basket of fruits, and a net bag of canned braised pork.
They are all rare and good things nowadays.
But Xiao Ni was not happy. Instead, he became more and more frightened.
To reward so many things, how much merit has it achieved?
Ni Yinghong couldn't help but feel worried. She didn't even bother to pay attention to the TVs. She quickly asked Xie Jun: "Uncle Xie, what on earth has Chu Heng done? Do you reward him for so many years of product?"
Xie Jun looked at her worried look and comforted her with a smile: "I can't tell you this, but you don't have to worry. That bastard in your family is just a disaster. He's a good person, and he's going to die in the next few days. came back."
"Really!"
Ni Yinghong was immediately surprised after hearing this, and quickly asked: "Then do you know when he will come back?"
"I really don't know the details, but it should be soon." Xie Jun shook his head.
Xiao Ni and Qin Jingru, who came later, couldn't help but feel disappointed when they heard this. Then the women hurriedly directed the soldiers in charge of moving the things in the car into the courtyard and put them away.
There were too many TVs, which took up a lot of space, so they were piled directly into the east wing of the front yard. Other items that were not afraid of freezing were also put together, such as vegetables and fruits, which were sent to the heated study room and dealt with later.
After everything was done, Xiao Ni went to Xie Jun and others and invited them: "Uncle Xie, come in quickly. I'll ask Sister Guizhi to cook some vegetables and leave after dinner."
"No, I have something to do over there. I'll eat this meal later when Chu Heng comes back." Xie Jun declined her with a smile, then took out a stack of tickets from his pocket and handed them to Ni Yinghong, saying, "This is also a reward for Chu Heng." Hengde, I know your family is not short of money, so I got you some more tickets."
Ni Yinghong took the tickets casually and continued to persuade them: "Oh, if you have something to do, it won't be too late. Come in quickly and I'll order some noodles for you."
"That's not true. I'm in a hurry on the other end. Okay, let's go." Xie Jun waved his hands repeatedly and declined her kindness again. Then he asked people to get in the car and left in a hurry.
As soon as they left, the neighbors who came to see the fun gathered around and started asking questions.
"I'm talking about the Chu family. What big thing has the head of your family done? Good guy, give us half a fan and half a fan of pork."
"Yinghong, are there really twenty TVs? Why does Director Chu have so many TVs?"
"I see the leader gave you a bunch of stuff. Is it money? How much is it?"
…
After Ni Yinghong dealt with them for a while, she quickly closed the door, and then took out the tickets given by Xie Jun and took a look at them. There were meat tickets, wine tickets, cigarette tickets, watch tickets, sewing tickets, bicycle tickets, and industrial vouchers. It is a good thing that people are flocking to nowadays.
But she just took one look at it and put it into her pocket, then ran back to the house happily, picked up her chubby eldest son and kissed her, sharing her joy: "Dad is coming back, isn't Xiao Zhecheng happy? Oh oh, daddy is coming back!"
Chu Zhecheng puffed out bubbles in confusion.
What the hell is dad?
But other people in the room were extremely happy, and even spoke in a higher tone than usual.
Just because the backbone of the family is coming back!
