Siheyuan: I, the eldest son of the Liu family, will enter the department!

The bell for the end of get off work rang crisply throughout the office building.

In the compound of the First Ministry of Machine Building!

The usual serious atmosphere was instantly broken up, replaced by a sense of relief as people were eager to go home.

The Spring Festival holiday has officially begun!

In the Research Department, Liu Guangqi slowly cleaned up his desk and handed over the welfare gift from the department.

Securely strapped to the back seat of the bicycle.

Pushing the cart out of the ministry's gate, the cold wind of the winter evening whistled across his cheeks, and Liu Guangqi went straight to the courtyard.

Turn into the gate of the courtyard.

Then the third uncle in the front yard, Yan Bugui, poked his head out, as if he had smelled something and came out:

"Hey! Guangqi is back?"

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, had a smile on his face, but his eyes, hidden behind his reading glasses, were glued to the back seat of the bicycle.

He didn't move towards Liu Guangqi at all.

"Wow, so much meat!"

"I'm afraid it must be ten pounds, right? And this bag is so bulging..."

He habitually wanted to reach out and feel the weight.

But thinking of Liu Guangqi's identity, he shrank back awkwardly: "It's worthy of being a ministerial welfare benefit, it's so generous!"

talking.

He changed his tone to one of emotion: "It's more than what the old masters at the steel mill, Old Yi and Old Liu, got. They haven't seen so many good things this year."

"It's the end of the year, so I gave you a little more." Liu Guangqi smiled and nodded without stopping.

Yan Bugui followed behind and muttered:

"My Jie Cheng took odd jobs on the street for a whole year, and at the end of the year he was given two taels of lard, which he had to exchange with coupons..."

Speaking of which!

Yan Bugui also changed the subject, lowering his voice a little, revealing a calculating tone.

"Guangqi, if you can't finish this meat, can you share some with Uncle Three?"

"Uncle San will trade you eggs!"

Liu Guangqi smiled and didn't respond, pushing the cart inside.

Yan Bugui, who was standing behind him, saw that Liu Guangqi was not listening at all, so he had no choice but to stop. His chatter turned into a long sigh:

"Ugh!"

"Their ministries are still the best. Look at how they've been doing this year..."

……

……

The bicycle was just pushed into the middle courtyard!

At this time, a person was squatting by the well, and the sound of clothes rustling on the washboard stopped abruptly.

That figure...

It turned out that it was changed from Qin Huairu to Jia Zhangshi.

That's right. According to the date, Qin Huairu was about to give birth to Xiaodang, so the work of washing clothes and cooking naturally fell on Jia Zhangshi.

not far away.

Jia Zhang was struggling to twist a cotton-padded jacket. When she looked up, her eyes widened: "Guangqi is back?"

The wet cotton jacket in my hand fell back into the basin with a plop!

She didn't even bother to wipe the water off her face when it splashed on her face.

She took a few steps closer, her nose almost touching the piece of pork, and her voice was so shrill it could have cut through the sky:

"This...this must be about ten pounds of meat, right?"

"Guangqi! Did you empty the supply and marketing cooperative of all the meat?"

This voice!

As if an alarm had been sounded, the whole yard suddenly came alive.

The door of Shazhu's house opened!

Seeing this scene, he was delighted: "Wow, who was it? Guangqi is back! Counting the days, it must have been four or five months since we last saw each other, right?"

Xu Damao also came over in response.

He glanced at Liu Guangqi's bicycle again and again and sighed:

"Brother Guangqi, are you getting the benefits from the ministry? Wow! Your benefits are so generous!"

Liu Guangqi smiled faintly: "The company has been a bit busy recently. There are a lot of things to do at the end of the year."

"I'll take the things home first and come back to chat with you guys later."

After saying that, he pushed the cart towards the backyard.

After he left!

The crowd's discussions continued to follow his back:

"Tsk tsk, that's what you call skill!"

"Yeah, if my wife had this ability, I could live in a ministry compound too!"

"I really envy his second uncle's family!"

Sha Zhu even yelled at the top of his lungs, "Guang Qi! Just let me know if you want to chop the stuffing for Chinese New Year this year. I'll take care of all the work of rolling out the dough for you! I guarantee the dough will be thin and the filling will be big!"

……

……

Backyard 0 ..

Liu Haizhong was sitting in the room smoking, and in the smoke, he seemed to be worried about something.

Smoked for a long time.

Liu Haizhong kept his head down for a long time before he managed to utter a word.

"Fuck you!"

"You mean Guangqi...it's been almost four months since he moved into the ministry's apartment building, and there's no news from him."

"I don't know what you're busy with all day long."

Second Aunt was sitting on a small stool processing frozen cabbage. After hearing this, she did not stop her hands.

Without raising his head, he smiled and said:

"What else can I do? I can work in a ministry! I'm already a cadre. Why would I sit at home idle every day like me?"

Liu Haizhong blew out a heavy smoke ring:

"I'm busy, but Guangqi is such a rude kid!"

He stiffened his neck and said, "I've been away for four months and haven't been home once! I have to ask someone to bring my monthly allowance to my factory, and I never even show up!"

He spoke toughly, but his eyes kept glancing outside the house involuntarily.

"What do you call this?"

Liu Haizhong became more and more angry as he spoke, so he simply stood up and paced around the yard.

"It's almost the end of the year, and our steel mills have already closed for the holidays. Are the ministries and commissions so hard-core that they won't rest?"

Speaking of which!

Liu Haizhong muttered to himself, "Is he not planning on coming back? Is he going to spend the New Year in the tube-shaped building?"

This guy went around in circles for a long time and finally revealed his thoughts.

He stopped, cleared his throat, and said casually, "How about..."

"Shall we go there tomorrow?"

"Just say we're going to give him some New Year's goods! Bring him some of the cured meat and dried beans from home!"

Second Aunt listened!

He didn't even bother to deal with the frozen cabbage in his hand and just burst out laughing.

"Boss! If you're really thinking about visiting the ministry compound, just say so. Why do you have to sacrifice our little New Year's goods?"

"Who... who's thinking of going to the ministry compound?"

The old face in the bangs instantly turned red, the same color as pig liver.

Just wanted to add a few words!

Suddenly, the clear sound of bicycle bells was heard at the gate of the yard.

Dinglingling—2.4—

The clear ringing of a bell came from far away and the old couple stopped what they were doing at the same time and looked towards the gate of the courtyard.

……

……

I saw Liu Guangqi parked his bicycle outside the house!

On both sides of the handlebars, there was a piece of pork belly weighing about five or six pounds, with fat and lean parts alternating. As the bike swayed, it made people dizzy.

"Mom is right!"

"Dad, if you want to visit me at the ministry compound, why don't you just go there directly?"
