When eating at my wife's parents' house, apart from the sons-in-law who come to visit, there may be no one who travels more frequently than Li Heng.
If nothing else, Fang Ma’s cooking is really delicious.
He is also willing to accompany his father-in-law and chat with his mother-in-law to relieve their loneliness after their son goes to school.
"Mom and Dad, you two will also come to our cafeteria for dinner on the afternoon of the 2nd."
"If we don't go, how can we take our parents-in-law to the work dinner?"
Upon hearing this, Father Fang shook his head like a rattle and refused repeatedly.
"Dad, look at what you said, why can't you bring your parents-in-law to the dinner? I don't care. If you two don't go, I'll come right back after get off work after making arrangements."
Ouch! This is a shameless joke!
Fang's parents looked at this uncle with some curiosity. They had never seen such a childish and playful tone.
Fang Xiaoya even laughed so hard that she couldn't straighten her waist.
Being in politics is actually not a particularly good choice these days. To be precise, it is not the best choice in the minds of ordinary people. Working in a factory as a worker is actually the best choice and the most glorious.
You don't have to worry about it. I'll ask the work unit's mule and carriage to come over and bring our food back together, saving you the trouble of picking up someone else's car."
"Dad, does Xiaoqing's future ideal be to be a teacher like you?"
"Okay, I'll find a weekend at the end of the month and I'll bring the car up and we can go there together."
Father Fang glanced outside: "Looks like it's going to rain from this afternoon to the evening at most. Tomorrow's military parade may have to be held in the rain. I plan to go and have a look."
"There's nothing wrong with it. After the subdistrict office issues the tickets, I can just find a day when it's not busy and let someone make a trip. It won't cost anything."
"Erheng, can you go over and see Xiaoqing at the end of the month or the beginning of next month?"
"Er Heng, why do you have this idea? Is there any reason?"
The welfare package is much better than that of various government departments, and if you don't become a leader in these departments, the salary of ordinary clerks is really not as much as that of factory workers.
After his wife said so, Father Fang could only nod his head in response to his son-in-law's expectant eyes.
"Okay, go ahead and cut another piece of tofu."
"Haha, he said so himself, but isn't it still a few years away? Who knows what will happen then?"
…
"okay"
Fang Xiaoya had been sitting aside silently. This scene happened so often that she had long been accustomed to it, so there was no need for her to say anything.
Fang's father teaches Chinese at school, and Fang Xiaoqing majors in the same field when he goes to college. It is natural to become a Chinese teacher after graduation. If he performs well in college, it is not impossible to stay in school and teach.
"Er Heng, what are you going to do with vegetables and coal for the winter?"
Of course, college students these days don’t have to worry about getting a job in the future.
Father Fang, who was holding a chess piece in his hand and was about to drop it, paused when he heard this and looked at Li Heng in confusion.
Father Fang's judgment from looking at the sky just now was still not accurate. Before noon, the sky started to rain stars sparsely.
Under the eaves, the father-in-law and son-in-law had already set up their horses and prepared to fight for a while. Fang Xiaoya was helping her mother with some handicrafts in the house. Xiaobai was lying at the feet of the male master, with his little head resting on his feet.
Already started to fall asleep deeply.
"When the vegetables are bought, I plan to put them directly here." Li Heng raised his head and gestured to the next door: "The cellar has been repaired, and we will buy the coal when we move here. If you buy it in advance, you can't put it there.
.
Fang's mother likes this most about Li Heng. He always says what he wants. Both inside and outside his words reveal that we are a family, and he is never hypocritically polite.
The reason for this is actually related to welfare benefits. Factories distribute corresponding labor protection supplies every month. Some factories even distribute wine on a monthly basis due to the special working environment.
In the blink of an eye, it has been a month since Fang Xiaoqing went to military training, and his daughter and son-in-law often come back to eat and chat with them. Father Fang and Mother Fang still miss their son. After all, after raising him for more than ten years, this is the first time they have been separated for so long.
"Don't get me wrong, I don't have any prejudice against being a teacher." Li Heng explained with a smile, and then continued: "I want Xiaoqing to go into politics after graduation, so that we can support each other.
point."
If Li Heng wanted to see it, it would be convenient. He could just walk out of the unit door, or he could just lie down on the second and third floors in front to see it, but he couldn't see the city gate building.
"My girl and I are both going to work tomorrow, so we won't come over at noon. We will come back after work in the afternoon to eat." At this point, Li Heng turned to look at Fang's mother and said, "Mom, for the holiday tomorrow, you can cook something delicious for us.
of."
"Dad, all the employees I arrange can take care of their families, and they are not special."
"Okay," Father Fang said with a smile and waved his hand: "Since we agreed, we will definitely go there. What about tomorrow?"
"It's simple. When I get up tomorrow morning, I'll go to the market to cut some meat and see if I can meet a chicken seller and buy a chicken."
"Hey, what are we going to do?"
"Ok, Lao Fang, I'll make the decision this time. We'll go over there on the afternoon of the 2nd to join in the fun and try the food in the department store cafeteria. I've been hearing your daughter say it's delicious every day, so we'll go and have some meat too."
"Mom, if it rains tomorrow, don't run away. I'll go to the market when I get up in the morning. I'll deliver it directly to you after I finish the shopping."
I originally planned to go out for a walk, but now I don't have to go anywhere. It's raining harder and harder.
"Is that okay?" Father Fang was a little hesitant. He was always afraid of causing trouble for his son-in-law.
The National Day military parade seems to have become a tradition and is held every year. Although it didn't rain last year, the weather was overcast and cloudy. Looking at this day this year, you can tell that it will definitely rain, but I don't know how many people will go to watch it in the rain.
"Dad, I have read some of the things Xiaoqing has written before. They are quite good. What do you think about letting him join a newspaper office after graduation?"
Being a teacher means being respected. People in the city, even if they have poor food and poor clothing, still try their best to send their children to school. Studying can change their destiny. This is a genetic inheritance that has been engraved in the bones of Chinese people for thousands of years.
Li Heng's current proposal is very different from what ordinary people would choose, and goes in the opposite direction. Although he finally said that the two of them can support each other in the future, Fang's father still has too much confusion in his heart.
"Er Heng, is there any other reason?" He asked with a serious expression after putting down the chess piece in his hand.
"Dad, I was just chatting. I just said this when I thought of this. I think the propaganda department has always been a department that leaders attach great importance to. If Xiaoqing can join a newspaper or even that club after graduation, his future will be better.
