Li Jingming got up early the next day and cooked millet porridge, steamed sweet potatoes, fried two side dishes and heated steamed buns for Yang Lina.
After Li Jingming had breakfast by himself, he went to Wang Ying's side first.
Wang Ying didn't lack anything here. After all, it was convenient in the county town. If he needed something, he could just go out and buy it directly.
Li Jingcheng bought some things for his father and took Li Jingxuan and Li Xiaojun back to the village.
It snowed heavily yesterday and there was heavy snow on the road. Li Jingming drove slowly, and it was almost noon when he arrived at the entrance of the village.
Li Jingming still parked his car at the entrance of the village. Li Jingxuan and Li Xiaojun went home first, and Li Jingming walked towards the brick and tile factory alone.
It's been freezing cold these two days, and the people in the brick and tile factory have been resting for several days.
The work I do these days is loading trucks for people who are going to build houses next spring.
Sun Jian stood in the car and saw Li Jingming coming from not far away. He quickly jumped out of the car and said to Zhao Wenhu.
"Brother Zhao, Brother Li is here."
Zhao Wenhu looked back and saw that it was really Li Jingming.
Zhao Wenhu said with a smile: "Your God of Wealth is here, and you have to take him to have a good drink tonight."
Li Jingcheng, who was loading the car, saw his eldest brother coming alone and wondered if his sister-in-law was not back?
When Li Jingcheng thought this, he arranged for two people to get on the car and continue loading. He also jumped out of the car and walked towards Li Jingming.
Li Jingcheng asked: "Brother, hasn't sister-in-law come back?"
"No, it's the end of the year soon. She's been busy these two days, so I didn't ask her to come back.
Where is this truck sent to?
Pay or owe?”
"This truck is for the county, and the money has already been paid.
They plan to start working in the spring and bring all the goods in before the new year, but they have other things to do after the new year."
Li Jingming thought that those who came to buy goods in the past two days must be rushing for time at the end of the year.
The county town has developed rapidly in the past two years, and the buildings of various units have gradually been built. The supply of bricks in this brick and tile factory exceeds demand. If the machines in his factory were not relatively large, I am afraid that the goods would not be able to be shipped out.
Li Jingming thought of the purpose of his visit today and asked: "How many days will it take for this product to be installed?"
"It will take about seven or eight days."
Li Jingming hesitated for a moment and said: "Let the villagers pretend to have these goods. Let's give everyone a day off tomorrow and let them go home early to celebrate the New Year.
They have been staying with me for a year, and it’s time for them to miss home.
Let the villagers watch the remaining few trucks of goods and pretend to forget them."
Li Jingcheng asked with a puzzled look on his face: "Why are they released so early this year?"
"Your sister-in-law and I plan to go to the capital to celebrate the New Year, and we want to make arrangements in advance.
The weather this year is colder than before. They live here and only load two trucks of goods every day. They have nothing to do. Let them go back early for the holidays.
You can tell them later so that everyone doesn't get the wrong idea, and they can continue to come after the first month of the year."
When Li Jingcheng heard this, he thought that it was okay. After all, his eldest brother was going to the capital. He had been really busy in the past few years. It was time to spend time with his sister-in-law and children.
Li Jingcheng said with a smile: "Okay, I'll tell everyone right now."
Li Jingcheng ran to inform everyone that Zhao Wenhu and Zhang Kaikai were walking towards Li Jingming.
On Li Jingxuan's side, when he returned to his yard, the yard was deserted. The previously clean courtyard had a lot of dry tree leaves and snowflakes that fell last night piled up in the four corners. At this sight, his father and second brother looked at each other.
I haven't done much to tidy up the yard.
As soon as Li Jingxuan entered the house, he lit a fire, boiled two pots of hot water, rolled up his sleeves, and tidied the house from inside to outside.
Li Jingxuan piled the snow in the empty space on the west side. When she finished cleaning it, she broke out in a thin layer of sweat.
After Li Jingxuan finished cleaning up, he helped Father Li wash the clothes he had changed into, and then he sat down and took a breath.
Li Xiaojun went directly to Sun Wenjing's house as soon as he entered the village.
Sun Wenjing's door was locked from the inside.
When Li Xiaojun knocked on the door, he had not seen Sun Wenjing for almost a month or two. Sun Wenjing looked much better than before and she was much more energetic.
When Sun Wenjing saw Li Xiaojun, a smile flashed in her eyes.
Sun Wenjing asked: "Why are you back? Is the furniture factory on holiday?"
Li Xiaojun smiled and said: "Can you let me in first? It's too cold outside. If you have anything to say, can we talk to you inside?"
Sun Wenjing realized that she was a little rude, so she turned sideways and let Li Xiaojun enter the yard. She continued to close the door.
Li Xiaojun shook the things in his hands and said: "I came back to see you and bought you some snacks and so on. You have nothing to do to pass the time."
Sun Wenjing's heart felt warm after hearing this. It was good to have someone to worry about.
Sun Wenjing said with an embarrassed look: "You came here to buy things these two times, and I don't know how to thank you.
You hurry up and warm yourself up by the fire, and I'll get you some water. Have you eaten? Do you want me to get you some noodles?"
Li Xiaojun quickly waved his hand and said: "No, no need to work anymore. You sit down and rest for a while. I want to say a few words to you."
Sun Wenjing put a cup of hot tea next to Li Xiaojun's hand, put two pieces of firewood into the stove, and sat next to the stove.
Sun Wenjing didn't know what to say, so she deliberately found a topic and said, "Are you going to leave when you come back? Or are you going to stay for the New Year?"
"I followed Brother Li's car back today and I have to leave in the afternoon.
I can still work in the furniture factory for about ten days, and I can earn a little bit.
Are you okay during this time? Did my mother sleep with you at night?"
Sun Wenjing nodded. Thanks to Li Xiaojun's presence these days, otherwise there would be countless people climbing on the wall at night.
Sun Wenjing didn't believe it at first, but a few days after her parents-in-law passed away, there was someone outside the door.
Li Xiaojun is also a very courageous mother. He yells and curses outside at night, but he can stay silent for a few days, but after a few days, someone sneakily appears at the door again.
Now that Sun Wenjing thinks about it, Li Xiaojun is still a very careful man.
Sun Wenjing said: "My aunt comes to stay with me every night. During this time, my life has been stable and my mood has improved a lot.
You haven't eaten the food I cooked, have you?
How about you eat at my place at noon today, call my aunt over later, and the three of us can sit down and have a meal together."
Sun Wenjing had never dared to look boldly at the men in the village before, but now that she saw Li Xiaojun, she felt very warm in her heart for some reason.
Perhaps it was because Li Xiaojun was very kind and caring to her, which gradually made her expect and rely on him.
When Li Xiaojun came back, Sun Wenjing suddenly didn't want to let Li Xiaojun go.
This house is really too rough, and with two or three people accompanying her to live her life, she feels at ease.
