Sijiucheng, steel rolling mill.

The phone rang, and Yang Youning, who was about to leave, picked up the phone.

The voice came, and Yang Youning immediately recognized it as Liu Huaimin's.

"Old Liu, I'm about to get off work."

"Lao Yang, I also received a notice from my superiors that Yang Xiaotao will come back by car tonight and your superiors will ask you to greet him at the steel rolling mill."

"Yang Xiaotao is back? What time will you arrive at the station?"

Yang Youning immediately became energetic. He had been discussing things with Chen Gong for the past two days, and Yang Xiaotao needed to execute many key points.

I thought this guy would come back only after the Chinese New Year, but I didn't expect him to come back now. I really wanted to give him a pillow if he wanted to sleep.

"It may not be on time at ten o'clock in the evening. You have to arrange the people. Some children will come back with you this time. You should tell the street office and be prepared."

"Street office? Child?"

"Yes, as mentioned above, just let the comrades at the street office make arrangements."

"good!"

Yang Youning didn't ask any more questions, hung up the phone, and immediately picked it up again.

"Security department? I, Yang Youning, ask Section Chief Zhao to come here."

After a while, Zhao Chuanjun walked into the office and hurriedly left after a while.

At the sub-district office, Director Wang, who had gone home, was preparing to cook when he suddenly saw Director Li running towards him. After saying a few words, he immediately put down his kitchen knife and walked toward the courtyard with greetings.

Siheyuan

Ran's mother was holding Duanwu and watching the falling snowflakes through the window, pointing and counting them from time to time. Little Duanwu insisted on reaching out to catch them, but was always blocked by the glass.

The loud banging made Ran's mother happy.

Ran Qiuye was supervising the studies of his sister and brother, stroking his belly from time to time.

In the house, the kettle on the heater was smoking, and the warmth was keeping the cold out of the window.

Outside the yard, the wind has stopped and the ground is covered with white. Wangcai is hiding in his den, sticking out his tongue from time to time to catch the falling snowflakes.

Mrs. Jia Zhang did not sit at the door as usual, mainly because it was cold and she was afraid of the cold wind.

Not long after Qin Huairu was happy, she faced another dilemma at home.

There is not much food, and most importantly, there is not much coal at home.

Normally, this is fine, but if the weather gets cold and the stove is not turned on, the house will feel like an ice cellar. Especially in their house, the door and windows face east, and there is no sunlight in the middle of the afternoon, making the house extremely cold.

I originally thought about spending some time and seeing how the compound arranged it. After all, there are always people "helping out" every year, and the compound would also organize to help families like them.

So I haven't bought it yet, but I don't want winter to come early this year.

It got cold too fast.

In the house, Qin Huairu was cooking with a frown on her face.

On the kang, Bang Gang was wrapped in a quilt, lying on the table, staring at the book, and the pencil in his hand was poking at the table with strength.

In the front yard, Yan Fugui was also arguing with his son and wife.

It's getting cold, it's time to buy coal.

But you can't pay for the coal yourself, you have to share it.

There is no other way, you have to live a careful life these days.

What's more, it's getting cold early this year, so we can't afford the extra money by ourselves.

In the house, the three aunts were sitting in front of the stove, guarding the pots and pans. The meal was already ready, and they were waiting for the old man to reach an agreement and start the cooking.

The brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang led Yan Jiedi aside, with the same reluctance on their faces.

Although I didn’t pay any money, my father clearly remembered it in his book. From now on, he will have to pay it back.

There was a stalemate in the room, Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and looked at his toes.

One is my parents, the other is my wife.

The palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh!

In addition, his current job is not stable and he does not earn as much as Yu Li, so he is a little unable to speak in this family meeting.

Yu Li sat there with her hands folded across her chest and her face calm.

The meeting Yan Fugui held before dinner today made her feel very uncomfortable.

Normally you just pay for meals at home, but you still have to share the coal you bought here?

She didn't say anything about doing this before, after all, the money was paid.

But since you have money in your hands, who is willing to hand it over?

Then I thought about how I would search for their money from time to time on weekdays. This would cost money, and that would cost money, as if they were not family members.

Yu Li felt unhappy, so she just leaned on him to see who was unreliable.

After a while, the third aunt couldn't sit still anymore and winked at Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng glanced at his father and then at Yu Li. In the end, years of education prevailed.

She reached out and tugged at the corner of Yu Li's clothes, and Yu Li reached out and patted it off.

Yan Jiecheng pulled it again, and Yu Li frowned, "Yan Jiecheng, what do you mean? If you have anything to say, just say it."

"No, I, I'm not..."

Yan Jiecheng grimaced, he had no status at all in his family.

"What's not wrong? Can a grown man who is hesitant and hesitant become the head of a family?"

Yan Fugui narrowed his eyes and said bitterly, and Yan Jiecheng opened his mouth, "I, why don't I become a family member?"

"Yu Li, isn't it just to pay for coal? Our share isn't much, so give it to us."

Yan Jiecheng stood up and spoke seriously to Yu Li.

"Give it, give it, just give it as if you have money."

With that said, Yu Li stood up and went back to the house.

"Hey, Yu Li, let's eat. I want you to eat."

"I won't eat anymore."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly chased him out, while Yan Fugui and the third aunt on the side showed successful smiles.

The eldest daughter-in-law's calculating skills are getting better and better, and the old couple is feeling a little stressed.

Before the meal started, she saw Yu Li carrying her bag and Xue Huazi on her head and heading towards the door.

Yan Fugui and the third aunt opened their mouths, not knowing what to say.

Yan Jiecheng ran out after him, and after a while he came back and sat on the stool.

"Going back to your parents' house now?"

The third aunt asked, and Yan Jiecheng nodded blankly.

"It's okay to go back and reflect on it."

Yan Fugui said something and gave way to the meal. Yan Jiecheng sat there waiting without saying anything.

The third aunt on the side put the steamed buns, pancakes and a pot of stewed cabbage on the table, looking at Yan Jiecheng's depressed look, "The Yang family will have three children during the Chinese New Year. It's still early for you to get married, and now there is no one."

"Boss, you should think about it."

Yan Jiecheng continued to remain silent.

dong dong dong

A knock on the door suddenly came from the door. Yan Fugui squinted and wanted to get up, but Yan Jiecheng quickly raised his legs and walked out.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Humph, you still have to come back."

"Our family is like this, we missed it..."

Yan Fugui thought it was Yu Li who was back again, and just when he was about to say something sarcastic, he saw the first person running in, it was Director Wang from the subdistrict office.

Behind him were two clerks from the street office, looking like they were unimpeded in the wind and snow.

Not caring about eating, he threw down his chopsticks and ran out wearing his coat.

"Director Wang, what are you..."

"I'm going to Yang's house in the middle courtyard."

Director Wang left a few words and walked towards the Chuihua Gate.

When Yan Fugui saw it, he thought about it and quickly followed him to take a look.

In the middle courtyard, many people saw Director Wang hurried over, his head and body covered with snow.
