I sent my cousin and aunt to the entrance of the alley. After watching them walk away, the four of them and the dog turned around and walked back.
They didn't even ask for a flashlight. They said they were taking it with them because it was dark when they set out in the morning. In the end, they could only get a few batteries to prevent them from running out of battery on the road and unable to walk.
It's past six o'clock now. Riding all the way back, it would take four hours at the fastest to get home.
"Er Heng, those food stamps you just took have no impact on you, right?"
Just after taking a few steps back, Father Fang, who was walking in front, suddenly turned around and asked.
"Don't worry, dad, it won't affect you at all."
"That's fine, but you should also be careful not to sell food stamps to anyone easily. It doesn't matter if you exchange for some things that are lacking at home. The state also allows it, but it is better to do less to directly exchange money. As for policy, I believe
You know better than me."
"Thank you dad for reminding me, I will remember it."
The elders' reminders were all well-intentioned, but he didn't know that those tickets were actually Li Heng's own.
Besides, buying and selling that thing is indeed illegal, and it would be very ugly if others knew that he, the director of a dignified department store, was still doing that.
"I know, Mom."
"It's still looking after the house." The little girl curled her lips with some disdain: "He doesn't even bark once all day long. He only makes a few snorts like he did just now."
"Hahaha, Teacher Fang, I would like to lend you some kind words!"
Fang's mother smiled and patted Xiaobai: "This little guy is really smart. If you want this dog, you will really get it. When you move here, it will definitely take care of the house."
Chatting and laughing with the neighbors all the way, the four of them returned to Fang's house.
We must not do that, and it will save us a lot of trouble in the future. It is our own home and we spent our own money to repair it. We cannot turn it into a public toilet."
"Er Heng, the theme frame of the house next door is almost finished. The remaining work is probably going to be done soon. What are you going to do with the furniture at home?"
"Okay, I listen to you."
Just when Xiaobai didn't know where to start, Fang Xiaoya squatted down with the oil paper, picked up the bones on the ground one by one, and pushed them aside.
"A relative came over today and just saw her off."
At this point, Father Fang stopped and looked at the other three houses. He lowered his voice and continued: "You built a toilet in the yard. If you open a door here, in the future, if other people say they want to borrow it, they will borrow it or not."
How to calculate the water bill and how to deal with sanitation issues?
Don't tell me, what the little girl said really worked. Maybe Xiaobai understood it and stopped humming immediately. He just stood there and looked at the oil paper in Fang Xiaoya's hand.
As soon as he entered the door, Xiaobai pounced on the pile of bones placed by the door, sniffing this and that, looking extremely happy.
"Hey, Teacher Fang, what are you doing as a family of four?"
Some sons have married wives, and if they still have a house in their workplace, they would really come back to see Amitabha during the holidays.
It’s a child again! Li Heng scratched his head when he mentioned this. Is this a question of whether he wants it or not?
Since the day of their wedding, he has been resigned to being a coward, working day and night, but the little girl's stomach has not responded, what can he do?
"Just go to the trust store and buy second-hand ones. It's too troublesome to make. The supervisor I'm looking for already knows wood. I'll ask him to help pick it out."
The person who spoke smiled and waved his hand: "Come on, I saw that my daughter is not as lucky as your Xiaoya."
"Dad, would you like to open a door in the wall here so that you and my mother can go there more easily?" Li Heng pointed at the east wall.
"What's it called? I'll take it back to you and eat it tomorrow. It's all yours and no one will snatch it from you."
Father Fang is right. If you really open a small door, someone will definitely ask to borrow the toilet in the future, especially early in the morning and at night. It is difficult for you to refuse.
Father Fang and Li Heng did not enter the house, but sat outside under the eaves and smoked.
"Hahaha... feel envious. I'll pick a good son-in-law for your daughter tomorrow."
"You don't understand this. Dogs that bite don't bark. You've heard this saying. If a dog barks loudly, it's basically a bluff or to inform the owner. Dogs that actually bite almost never bark.
The most he can do is whine twice in his throat, and then he will rush towards you directly."
Xiaobai is getting bigger and bigger now, and the family members don't notice anything, but to outsiders, his face is full of ferocity, especially when paired with the black hair without any mottled colors, it looks even more ferocious.
The director of the department store won’t say anything. The key is that he treats his father-in-law and mother-in-law well.
"Xiaoya, take the oil paper and wrap the dog's bones back. I don't dare let him eat it today. He didn't eat less just now."
"No, no, no, please don't." Father Fang waved his hands in a hurry and said, "If your mother and I want to go to your side, we can go through the front door. Our family is not the only one living in this yard."
Black always brings an inexplicable sense of fear to people, consciously or unconsciously.
"That's not necessarily the case. Maybe one day I will get you a son-in-law that you will be particularly satisfied with."
Is that something you can envy?
Not to mention that Li Heng always came there empty-handed almost every time. No matter what he mentioned, at least he had the heart.
He didn't have the courage to show his teeth to the hostess, so he could only stand aside and grunt anxiously, spinning around on the ground.
"Er Heng, it's better to have a child as soon as possible. Your mother kept saying that she wanted to retire and take care of your child when she had nothing to do at home."
Guang Jiantian went to accompany the two of them. Not to mention the son-in-law, no amount of sons could do it.
The main reason why Li Heng said this was to consider the convenience of his father-in-law and his mother-in-law coming over. Now that his father-in-law said this, he nodded obediently.
"Uh...hehe, Dad, I understand."
If at the beginning when Fang Xiaoya married Li Heng, who was the deputy director of the scrap station, the neighbors were only slightly envious, now they have no envy at all.
"Yes." Father Fang nodded: "The trust store over in Xidan mainly sells furniture. You can go there to look at it later. After you buy it, get some varnish and we can paint it ourselves. It will be no different from new."
"Teacher Fang, your daughter is marrying well. If she marries a daughter, she will give you a son directly."
"Well, Er Heng, don't blame me for being a nagging father-in-law. Only when a family has children can it be considered a complete family."
"Dad, I understand."
Some words stopped short of the point, and Father Fang, the father-in-law, really couldn't say anything more, so he turned to talking about the morning ritual.
In the morning, he and Fang's mother also went to see it in the rain.
