1986: Old Stories in Northeast China

"Oh, Uncle Jianguo, you're here so early."

The next morning, Chen Tiezhu was busy making breakfast when He Jianguo walked in from outside.

"It has to be early. Everyone stayed at my house for a long time last night to discuss the matter of building the mountain temple." He Jianguo said.

"I think it's better to get started early. But the Hu Yadong brothers and Qi Lianshan are all employees of our company. If we build the mountain temple, it will definitely delay our company's work."

"I thought it was nothing, not at all." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"This is also a contribution to our village. When the time comes, you can just coordinate the company's work with this. It will take about half a day. I will ask Liu Dayou to deliver the materials."

"I will be busy next. Not only do we have to build the mountain temple, but we also have to build a house for my family. By the way, how was the well yesterday? I was too busy because there were too many things to do."

"It went well. I will be almost done today." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Didn't you say that the water from the deep well is delicious? Otherwise, it would have been finished yesterday. If we didn't dig too deep, we would have seen water below."

"That's really good. Will Manager Zhou of the water company come today?" Chen Tiezhu asked.

"Come here, come here in the next two days. Although it's not certain when, he really cares about our affairs here." He Jianguo said.

"Okay, I'll go there for a walk after dinner. When we go back, we'll have to ask them to help fix the well in our field." Chen Tiezhu said.

"There are also some expenses to be settled, and I have to explain them to him. What do you eat at home? We have rice porridge and salted duck eggs. Do you want to have a bite at my house?"

"Nothing, I have to go home to eat the leftovers at home." He Jianguo said with a smile.

"Tiezhu, uncle has to thank you very much. Weimin is more sensible now than before. He cut five pounds of meat last night. The family of three came and had a good meal."

"That's good. The county also attaches great importance to this labor export work. Let brother Weimin work hard, and that's all achievements." Chen Tiezhu said.

"Well, you go ahead and I'm going home too." He Jianguo nodded vigorously and walked home with a brisk pace.

He was really happy in his heart. At least his son now has more than just his father-in-law and mother-in-law in his heart.

He knew that if there were no Chen Tiezhu and Han Xiuying, his son would not have such a change.

Even now, in front of his in-laws, he could stand up straighter.

This appearance was all given by Tiezhu.

"Yingzi, has Brother Weimin been working hard recently?" Chen Tiezhu asked casually after returning to the house.

"Well, his work attitude is very good recently. If he can perform better, I plan to send him to the province for training." Han Xiuying said with a smile.

"That's really good. If there is no improvement, it will be really useless." Chen Tiezhu nodded.

In a unit like theirs, one step slower will lead to many steps behind. If Han Xiuying has not promoted him with this condition, basically no one will promote him in the future.

"Uncle, are you still digging a well?" Qi Cuiwen asked.

"Well, let's have dinner, and then we'll watch the well digging. That thing is also very interesting, but it's the end, and there's nothing to see." Chen Tiezhu said.

"It's not interesting, just keep complaining." Doudou replied.

"Doudou, how did you know?" Han Zhenwen asked curiously.

"Doudou went to see it, it was all mud, not fun." Doudou said as a matter of course.

"Forget it, I won't go either. Doudou, stay at home with uncle and sister Wenwen today, okay? Let's take the little animals for a walk outside." Han Zhenwen said.

"Yeah, Doudou will play with uncle and sister Wenwen." Doudou nodded obediently.

"Haha, Doudou is really good. Let's eat uncle's duck egg yolk today." Han Zhenwen said happily.

At this time, the second master and old man Han also strolled over, and today's breakfast officially began.

As a dish for eating rice porridge, the shredded basil mixed with salted duck eggs and sesame oil is really famous.

Doudou was not staring at the duck egg yolk, but was eating the shredded basil with a "crunch" sound.

"By the way, brother-in-law, let's make some oil-splashed noodles." Han Zhenwen said.

"Okay, at noon or in the evening, you can choose whichever." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

"Also, let's think about buying a car later. If you don't have enough money, you can ask me for it, otherwise you can't always borrow a car from Xiao Zhou when you come here in the future.""Hehe, I just had this idea. If I have nothing to do these two days, I will teach Wenwen how to drive." Han Zhenwen said with a smile.

For the fact that her brother-in-law had to pay for her to buy a car, she did not feel any psychological burden at all.

"Uncle, thank you."

Instead, Qi Cuiwen thanked him embarrassedly.

Seeing this, Mr. Han was even more satisfied, "Tiezhu, I still have tens of thousands of yuan here. But it's not with me, it's all in the bank in the provincial capital."

"When buying a car, you can't let Zhenwen buy it according to his temper. It depends on what kind of car Wenwen likes. How about this, Wenwen, you can go and see it later. If you like any one, tell grandpa and grandpa will call them." said Mr. Han.

"Yeah, thank you grandpa." Qi Cuiwen said with a smile.

"Tsk tsk, now that you have a granddaughter-in-law, you don't care about me, the grandson-in-law." Chen Tiezhu said with a pout.

"Why do you still need my help? If you say a word, I guess a lot of people will rush to you now." Old Man Han complained.

"Hahahaha, this is Yingzi's discerning eyes for Yingfu." Chen Tiezhu said happily.

"Eat quietly, eat quickly." Han Xiuying glared at him, and said something.

"Eat, you must eat. There is always a lot of work, and you should work hard. But don't tire yourself out, there are many days to come." Chen Tiezhu warned.

"Yingfu, I think you are almost my sister's lackey." Han Zhenwen glanced at the two of them.

"Wenwen, choose a sedan when choosing a car. Now it's either a Crown or a Duke. You can feel it and see which one is more exciting to drive." Chen Tiezhu said with a smile.

Han Zhenwen's face suddenly became bitter, and the look he gave Chen Tiezhu was also very resentful.

This is an absolute hawk and dog. As his brother-in-law, how could he not know that his brother-in-law loves his LC70? How square and solid is it?

"Well, then I'll listen to uncle and choose the same one as sister Yingzi, and it will be cheaper." Qi Cuiwen nodded.

"Then it's settled. Tell me what model it is later. I'll call after dinner." Mr. Han said.

Han Zhenwen opened his mouth. This matter really has nothing to do with him?
