The door of the courtyard house has been welded dead

Chapter 289 Family Affairs and State Affairs

"You said you saw Xiaofeng?"

Nanluoguxiang courtyard, the front yard is Li's house.

Liu Yin was lighting a fire and preparing to cook. When she heard what her younger brother Liu Qiang said, she quickly put down the firewood in her hand, wiped her hands in panic on her apron, and asked him eagerly.

Liu Qiang nodded vigorously, his mind was in a mess now, and the shocking scene during the day kept reappearing in his mind.

My nephew waved his hand, and the staff on duty at the train station immediately let him in without asking any questions. Before, he had never dared to think about it. Only people could enter the square in front.

And that magnificent convoy, just like what Dahei said, there are more than 100 cars, and they all look the same. The drivers all look up to their nephew. It looks like he is the person in charge of that huge convoy. .

"You're talking, Qiangzi. How could I have met him? This kid is nearby. Why don't you go home and see your mother!"

Seeing her younger brother frozen in place without saying a word for a long time, Liu Yin felt a little anxious as she waited, pushed his shoulder, and complained casually.

"Oh~, sister, I saw him at the train station. Just this morning, I was thinking about getting up early and going there to do some work. Who knew I saw him in the square? He was receiving the leaders at the time. Yes, I should He’s the leader, and he’s dressed like him, in cadre uniforms.”

Liu Qiang came to his senses and immediately told his anxious sister what happened in the morning. Maybe it was because his questioning skills were not very high and many things were not explained clearly.

"Then, did he say hello to you? Did he ask about things at home?"

Seeing that the worries of many days finally disappeared, it seemed that what his son said was true. He was on a business trip to attend to official duties, and the steel rolling mill did not lie to him.

"Sister, you finish your dinner first. I brought it over here. You eat while I talk to you. Don't delay!"

Looking at the steam rising from the stove, Liu Qiang thought of the simple work meal that his nephew had brought him to eat at the Jianguo Hotel, and he suddenly felt that the greasy taste in his mouth was coming back.

"Why are you still eating? Don't be so pretentious. People have disappeared for a month. If you don't tell me clearly, how can I still eat?"

Seeing that Liu Qiang was still hesitant, Liu Yin patted his thigh anxiously. Although she cared about the second child, it was true, but the boss was also his biological son, and he was now the mainstay of the family.

"Eat first, I'll serve it to you!"

"My eldest nephew is really amazing now. I didn't recognize him at the time. He has gained a lot of weight and his face is not as thin as before!"

Liu Qiang tilted his head and nodded. At first, Liu Qiang was a little surprised, but after eating this dinner, he was not surprised at all now. In this era of lack of oil and water, the fat pork belly can be eaten with open belly, and there are fried eggs. After pouting, Liu Qiang served rice porridge to his sister, put the chopsticks directly into her hand, and signaled her to eat before he continued.

"It's good to be fat, it's good to be fat. It turns out that he is a little thin. His father was afraid that he would be weak and unable to drive, so he found a way to send him to the army."

"Last time, his partner came over and said he had gained five pounds. I was still talking about it. Five pounds of body bone is not a lot of weight. Now that you say it, it seems that it is more than that."

After blowing on the hot porridge and taking a sip, Liu Yin shared with her brother what Huang Yaqin had talked about with her eyes.

"I can't help but wonder, you don't know, the food they eat, oh my, is better than what we eat during the Chinese New Year!"

"That big piece of fat meat is so long, and the cut is thick, and the fat is dripping with oil. For such a big egg, I will bring back one for you to try."

Liu Qiang stretched out his index fingers with both hands and gestured to close them in the middle. The expression on his face was even more exaggerated than that of his sister. It seemed that in order to save money for the family, he really tightened his belt and cut back on food and clothing.

"I don't want to eat, you can leave it to Lei Zi. I bought it when Xiaofeng was home, but I haven't finished it yet."

He pushed back the boiled eggs on the table. His younger brother and nephew had stronger personalities. Even if they were not doing well, they would not reach out to him. How could he ask for their things?

Pointing to the jar under the table, Liu Yin actually didn't want to eat the eggs in it. Unless Li Nan came back occasionally, or she cooked several and sent them to school, otherwise she wouldn't be able to eat half a jar of eggs for more than a month.

What Liu Yin is now concerned about is not the stuttering, but what Li Feng is doing now. Everyone in the transportation department seems to be very taboo and dare not talk about it, which always makes the mother a little worried.

"Hey, okay, I'll leave it to Lei Zi~!"

Liu Qiang did not shirk at all. His eldest nephew was capable, and the family was prospering. The Liu family was also starting to get better, and his sister would not say such polite words to him.

"He also took you to the place where he works now for dinner. Where is it? Don't worry, I won't influence him, I'm just asking!"

After filling her stomach a little, Liu Yin put down the chopsticks in her hand, raised her head and asked curiously.

"In Xicheng, at the Jianguo Hotel, he doesn't work there. He is responsible for leading the team. He leads a group of young drivers who are responsible for picking up leaders. You don't know that at the train station today, during the battle, the cars were parked more than There are more cars than all the cars in our county combined!”

When talking about the scene he saw in the morning, Liu Qiang was much more excited than his sister. It was really a big loss that his sister did not see such a spectacular scene with her own eyes.

In his eyes, this was the most glorious moment for her son and his nephew.

"Lead the team and drive?"

"Didn't he say that he would take the students to participate in some training assessment?"

Liu Yin was even more puzzled. She remembered what her son told her when he left in the morning a month ago. She always felt that something was not right and something was wrong.

"Hiss, when you said that, I remembered that the drivers were about the same age as him, some were a little younger than him, and they all wore black woolen coats. I can remember that scene for the rest of my life. .”

"Did he also wear a black woolen coat? I'm afraid it costs a lot of money. Where did he get the cloth tickets?"

Liu Yin didn't care at all about other people's children. She only cared about her own. Listening to her brother's description, she became more and more curious.

"It must have been issued by the work unit, otherwise they can't all be the same. Moreover, they all drive the same cars. They have an ID pinned to the left side of their chest. Not to mention extra ostentation!"

"Then, what's going on at the Jianguo Hotel? He's driving, so why are you following him to see it?"

"There, that's where he found me. The leader he went to pick up had an older man who got carsick. You don't know. He got off the car and collapsed to the ground. He couldn't get up. He couldn't continue to ride on their car. Car, I happened to be hanging out at the train station at the time. He might have seen me, so he looked for me." "Look, he took me over for a meal without saying anything, and took me directly to find the person in charge of the two conferences. He gave me ten yuan and said that if anyone got motion sick later, he would come back to me."

As he said that, Liu Qiang happily took out a big black ten from his pocket. Unexpectedly, today's work was really not in vain. He had a good meal, and the money for one trip was worth his work for several days.

"If this child has a good thing, he still thinks about his family. You should go and take care of him more and don't let him get into trouble in front of the leader. Hey, you said that he is fooling around outside every day without giving any information to his family. , What a great feeling!"

Now that I know my son is living a good life, all he needs is good wine and meat to serve him, I feel half relieved, but I can't help but start complaining.

"He told me this morning that he was the person in charge of the team at the National People's Congress. I think he is also a leader. He is not young yet. He is in charge of so many cars. He is much more caring than us."

Liu Qiang took out cigarettes from his pocket. He had been reluctant to smoke them before, but today he had a lot of sex. Without any hesitation, he took out a cigarette and went to the stove to light it.

"Two sessions?"

"What unit is that? Isn't he in the transportation department of the steel rolling mill?"

Holding her cheek with her fist, Liu Yin looked straight out of the window. Her mother, who had traveled thousands of miles, was worried that this child, who did not dare to say a word to her even after changing jobs, would be beaten this time.

"I don't know. I took a look at his ID. It's not from the steel rolling mill. We can't ask what these two meetings are about. I think there are quite a few of them, otherwise they wouldn't use so many cars."

"No, let's go to the other side and ask. Teacher Yan across the street knows more than us and has a higher level of humanities and culture."

Liu Yin said hesitantly that she had never heard of this department. In addition, Liu Qiang made the scene in the morning very grand. In fact, she was also curious about how big an official her son was.

"How about we just ask?"

***
"It's okay to get married. We'll spend money on a blind date for you, but it's not just for you. If you want to marry that girl, we have no objection and support you, but the place where you live at home..."

The Lao Yan family across the door was having a family meeting at this time. The whole family was sitting neatly at the table. Teacher Yan had his hands in his arms and his chair bounced back, looking quite relaxed.

On the other hand, Yan Jiecheng, who was opposite him, looked a little embarrassed. He came home from a hard day's work and told his parents what he had discussed with Yu Li after get off work. It seemed that he hoped to get their help.

"The place to live is no good. We got married and moved out and rented a house. Now we can still rent a room outside for one or two yuan a month."

Yan Jiecheng licked the corner of his mouth and told his plan. The family was squeezing his monthly salary dry like this, and he was eager to go out to live. However, he hoped that his father could not see what he was thinking.

How could the old fox Yan Bugui not see it? He sneered, rubbed the beard on his chin, and looked at his son with squinted bitch eyes. With his pout, he knew what he wanted to poop.

"You promised your father that you would pay your salary in full. I'm afraid she won't be happy if you go out to rent a house and use it for Li's salary!"

There are some things that Yan Bugui can't say, so the third aunt simply won't be polite. There are so many children in the family who need to eat, and it's hard to raise the eldest child. How can he be allowed to run away like this, regardless of the other younger brothers and sisters in the family.

In one sentence, Yan Jie was asked to turn off the fire. He was dreaming and he hadn't come in yet. He really wanted to say this. If the girl's family was not looking for someone else, why should she look for herself?

"Mom, should I hand it over or hand it over? Please don't mention this in front of her!"

"Hmph~, you kid is dishonest. If you need to say something, you must say it anyway. Otherwise, how can you live your life if you are married and your family is in chaos?"

Yan Bugui shook his head involuntarily, as if he wanted to object to the marriage, and Yan Jiecheng became even more nervous.

"It can't be like this, dad. Li Feng borrowed a house from the street to feed the piglets for a few days. I can also use it here. It's still in the same yard. I really like this girl so much. I I won’t marry anyone but her.”

"Li Feng got wild boar meat from the street in exchange. If you have the ability to borrow it, you can live in the same courtyard and have someone to take care of you."

The third aunt was a little hesitant and glanced at her husband. She didn't care whether the house in the back was suitable for people to live in or not, or whether it was a newlywed couple. What she was concerned about was that it might cost money, but her son also wanted to marry a wife. She was confused. Incessantly.

"When, when, when!"

"Second uncle, are you at home?"

The whole family hadn't figured it out yet. Outside the door, Li Feng's mother Liu Yin and Liu Qiang came hand in hand and knocked on the door of Lao Yan's house.

"Hey, here you are, sister, you've had your meal!"

The third aunt saw her man raise his chin and gesture for her to open the door. Maybe it was the second uncle's voice that made Lao Yan rather put aside the troubles at home and stand still in front of the neighbors.

After opening the door, the third aunt smiled, looked at Liu Qiang behind Liu Yin, nodded, said hello, and warmly invited the two of them to sit in the room. Who wants to have a son? How much will it cost? Lao Yan's work brought a glimmer of hope for progress.

"Oh, I'm sorry to disturb you so late at night, the whole family is here!"

As someone who had been there, Liu Yin still had to say what she wanted to say in the scene. She acted like a courteous corporal and greeted the Yan family members in the room enthusiastically.

"Sit, sit, damn Xiaofeng, you must have something important to come here so late!"

Yan Bugui, who had been sitting firmly on Mount Tai just now, suddenly changed his face. After asking Liu Yin to sit down, he asked doubtfully.

"Hey, it's not a big deal. Today, my brother was moved and a small piece of the table was broken off. He was very difficult to deal with. I heard it was something organized by the two sessions. We don't know this. What department is it in? Xiaofeng isn't here either, so I have to ask you to find out who makes you the most educated person in the yard!"

In order to avoid danger, Liu Yin didn't mention anything about Li Feng and made a casual excuse. Anyway, everyone in the courtyard knew that her brother was the boss and broke things. This excuse was just right.

"Hey, that's serious. You brother, this matter is neither big nor small. It's best to keep it private. Don't find Xiaofeng. That person's company is really big, and the steel rolling mill can't afford to offend him! "

Yan Bugui, who listened with squinted eyes, clapped his thighs and almost jumped up when he heard about the two sessions. As a scholar and scholar in the courtyard, how could he not know this? In addition, as a steward, he also lacked a regular life. If you don't read books and newspapers, your level of knowledge is completely different from that of people at the bottom.

Listening to Yan Bugui's sensational words, Liu Yin looked nervously at Liu Qiang, her son.

This is heaven? ?
