In the north, although November is late autumn, it is no different from winter.
People had already put on winter clothes, covering up their thin bodies.
Today is my last acupuncture treatment.
Chen Jingnian specially asked for leave and returned home early. He took out the bag containing Li Xianwen's military ID and seal.
I rushed to the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, opened the door and walked in. This aunt and that sister called me all the way.
"Axe, why are you getting the subsidy for your fifth uncle so late!"
The female clerk at the civil affairs window stood up and smiled.
"Something happened in the yard, and I was so busy that I lost track of time."
Chen Jingnian deliberately widened his eyes, and said nonsensically: "Sister Kong, when you wear this jacket, you really look like autumn chrysanthemums, and the flowers are exposed. You have preserved the most beautiful scenery in autumn."
"Axe, you have such a sweet mouth. I told you this morning that Sister Kong's new jacket looks good."
Next to it is the window of the marriage registration office. A young girl inside leaned out half her body and said with a smile.
"That's right, Sister Wu, you can see it with your keen eyes, right?"
"Haha, Axe, it would be great if the subsidy was given twice a month."
Sister Kong at the civil affairs window covered her mouth and smiled happily.
"Sister Kong, I have taken your words to heart. When you become the leader, I will come to collect you twice a month."
Chen Jinnian patted his left chest, then turned his head and said seriously, "Sister Wu, please help me bear witness."
"Then I have to buy a pig's trotters and a cockscomb for the Chinese New Year."
"Buy on Saturday and eat on Sunday. I think this can be done next week."
"Axe, you can come and pick it up twice this month. If you come back at the end of the month, isn't it just two times a month?"
"Ah! Haha, it's true! Sister Kong, then three times a month!"
"Axe, you might as well transfer our street office to come here every day!"
...
A few people chatted and laughed for a while, and then the people from the Special Care Office completed the procedures for Chen Jingnian.
Chen Jingnian walked out of the subdistrict office with an envelope containing a total of one hundred and twenty-three and a half cents including the winter coal and fire subsidy and other benefits.
"If we didn't help our family, my fifth uncle would just lie down every day and still be able to eat well and drink spicy food."
Chen Jinnian put the envelope into his pocket and couldn't help but sigh.
In fact, the person who earns the most in the courtyard is not Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level fitter, but Li Xianwen.
It can be said that without Li Xianwen's help, Chen Jingnian and his family would have collapsed long ago.
Chen Jingsheng and Li Yulan simply cannot survive for so many years with their small salary, nor can they support Chen Huiling and her three siblings to go to school and grow up at the same time.
Chen Jinnian rushed to Nannan's school with the money in his pocket. As soon as he arrived at the school gate, he saw Chen Huiling walking over from the other side.
"Sister, why are you free to pick up my daughter today?"
Chen Jingnian rode up to Chen Huiling and said with a smile.
"Isn't today my last injection? I wanted to go and have a look, so I asked the teacher for leave. My health has really improved recently, and I want to ask the doctor if he needs a few more injections to consolidate it."
When Chen Huiling saw her younger brother, she immediately smiled, stepped forward and covered her younger brother's red ears, saying, "Why don't you wear a scarf!"
"It's okay. I've been exercising every day these past few days. I'm full of steamed buns. If I don't consume them, they'll be wasted."
Chen Jingnian grinned, and finally some wrinkles appeared on his face.
"Bullshit!"
Chen Huiling smiled and rubbed her brother's ears, sighed, and then said: "My parents agree with your statement after all. I will tell her about my daughter. I read the newspaper carefully recently, and the more I think about it, the more scared I am.
Axe, you said my sister is no longer a teacher, so what can she do?"
"Sister, you majored in mathematics. I heard from Sister Sun from the accounting office of our steel rolling mill that this year the job regulations for accountants and a series of explanations of accounting subjects were released. This shows that the accounting field will become more formal and more formal."
major.
You can find these documents and take a look. Moreover, our mother is an accountant. You have been following her in her account books since you were a child, and you are no worse than a professional accountant in terms of accounting for receipts and payments and accounting for debits and credits.
It's okay for you to read more books on this subject, take the accounting certificate, and once you graduate from college, with your college diploma and this knowledge, no unit will rush to hire you, so it's no worse than being a teacher."
The stone in Chen Jingnian's heart fell to the ground, he was excited and became more and more eloquent.
"Brother, I listen to you!"
Chen Huiling also breathed a sigh of relief, as if a road had been paved under her feet.
"If I don't live up to expectations, you will definitely be a brother-supporting demon!"
Chen Jinnian looked at his sister's appearance and smiled to himself.
The two talked quietly for a while, and then saw the gatekeeper walking out with a hammer, going to a willow tree next to the gatehouse, and knocking on a section of the rail hanging on the tree, and a crisp sound was heard.
.
School is over.
Groups of children ran out of the campus and plunged into the alley in an instant. Several boys dragged their schoolbags and patched shirts, shouting as they ran, holding waste papers used in school
Stacked swords, guns, swords and halberds, and began a life-and-death fight.
"Sister, brother, you are all here!"
The girl skipped out of the school gate, saw her brother and sister at a glance, and cheered.
"That's it, who are you, the little princess of the Chen family!"
Chen Jingnian carried his daughter to the big bumper of the car, and then said: "It's just a bit toothless!"
"Hmph, it's so annoying!"
Nannan was smiling at first, but after a turn of events, the smile on her face froze.
"Let's go, stop teasing me, you don't look like a brother at all."
Chen Huiling held her brother's waist and sat in the back seat of the car.
The three siblings chatted and laughed all the way to Zhushikou.
This was the first time Dr. Huang saw Chen Huiling. He looked at the three siblings in front of him and was stunned. He looked left and right at Chen Jingnian and then at Chen Huiling, and then he greeted the three people to enter the hospital.
It was the first time for Chen Huiling to see her daughter undergo acupuncture treatment. When the silver needle penetrated her sister's skin, Chen Huiling subconsciously grabbed Chen Jingnian's hand.
"It's okay, sister!"
Chen Jingnian patted his sister's hand and felt that her sister's palms were sweaty.
Chen Huiling nodded, not daring to take a breath, and finally hid behind Chen Jingnian.
After Nannan's treatment was over, she sat up straight. She stepped forward to take her sister down, then squatted down and helped Nannan tidy up her clothes.
"Sister, am I strong?"
Nannan hugged her sister's neck and said loudly to Chen Huiling who was arranging her clothes.
"Nanny is so awesome, my sister is so scared that she dare not even look at her."
Chen Huiling touched her sister's head, her hands were still a little moist.
Chen Huiling stood up, bowed to Dr. Huang, and said, "Thank you, Dr. Huang. Thanks to you, my sister's health is getting better and better."
"Haha, you said this and that! That's right, that's what I do."
Dr. Huang quickly waved his hand, walked to the washbasin in the corner, and washed his hands.
"Do you think my sister needs to be treated for a while longer?"
Chen Huiling hugged her sister and asked.
"This is it!"
Dr. Huang held his chin and took a breath, his eyes roaming around the three siblings. This chapter has been completed!
