"Mom, you and dad should be careful when walking to work today. Be careful of slippery roads."
"I know, you won't be riding your bike for a while. If you slip and fall, you won't be able to escape. By the way, Erheng, you bought us new coats and gave yours to Xiaoya to wear. Aren't you cold? It's time to count nine.
, The weather is getting colder and colder. I work close to home, so I don’t mind wearing it or not. I’ll bring it to you later.”
"It's okay, Mom, just keep dressed. I'm really not cold."
Last month, Li Heng bought two cotton coats for Fang's father and Fang's mother to wear. Good guy, their colleagues were almost envious to death.
Especially Fang Ma, a colleague from the Women's Federation.
That woman wanted to compete with Fang's mother in everything, including her husband and her children. The eldest son of her family was also a daughter. She was three years older than Fang Xiaoya. She was married to a worker in a bearing factory and became her son-in-law in the second year of her marriage.
She became the leader of the work team, but she was so angry.
He kept changing his ways to show off in the office every day, which made Fang's mother very angry.
Fang Xiaoya got married this year. She heard that Li Heng was the deputy station manager of the scrap station under the subdistrict office, so she didn't take it seriously at all. No one at the scrap station could take him seriously, and he was still the deputy station manager.
Who could have imagined that Li Heng would be transferred to a department store as a director not long after, and now she would become mute in the office and would not say anything about how capable her son-in-law was.
No, Fang's mother also deliberately wanted to make her angry about the new cotton coat this time. She said in the office that her uncle was disobedient and would buy it instead of letting him buy it. It was such a waste.
In the blink of an eye, the attack and defense were in different positions. Ever since her uncle became the director, Fang's mother had been vomiting that bad breath.
Father Fang also came out of the bathroom at this time. With this bathroom, it is so convenient. At least you don't have to suffer the foreign crime in the cold weather.
"Er Heng, we'll have breakfast over there later and ask your mother to make more."
"No, don't be busy. I'll just heat up two steamed buns and fry two eggs later. There's still some leftover porridge from last night, so I'll just heat it up as well."
Fang's mother glanced in the direction of the main room: "Wake Xiaoya up early. Don't let her go to bed at this hour. I'll leave a little early for work later."
"I understand, Mom, I'll call her after I heat up the steamed buns."
…
After seeing off Fang's father and Fang's mother, he heated up the steamed buns and porridge on the stove, turned around and went into the house.
Because of the heated kang, the back room seemed warm as soon as you entered. The little girl's sleeping position on the bed at the moment was extremely inelegant. Maybe it was because the bed was hot. She was sleeping on her side with the quilt between her legs, her body was all white.
It seems a bit dazzling.
After coming in, Li Heng didn't rush to call her, but first stuffed the underwear and sweaters that the little girl had put aside into the bed to warm them up, so that they wouldn't feel cold when they put them on later.
"Girl, girl..."
"Well...brother"
He liked to hear the little girl's half-asleep voice in the morning. It made his heart tingle every time.
"Get up, girl. It's past six-thirty. It's snowing heavily outside. We have to walk to work this morning. We need to leave early."
"Well, I didn't sleep enough." The little girl twisted her body reluctantly without opening her eyes, then turned around and got directly into the arms of Li Heng who was sitting beside the bed. Perhaps the cold air on her clothes was freezing.
She screamed, causing her to hiss, but she still stretched out her arms and hugged his waist tightly.
"Huh? Brother, what did you just say?"
"I said it's snowing heavily, and we have to walk to work later."
"Is it raining heavily? Is the snow thick?"
"It's not that thick. I guess the big ones don't start until three or four o'clock."
"That's not fun, you can't even ski."
"Hey, what are you thinking about? You still want to ski. Do you want to sit in the basin and let me push you to work?"
"hey-hey……"
"Okay, get up quickly. I've put all your clothes under the quilt to keep you warm. The steamed buns and porridge are almost ready."
"Okay, I'll get up now."
The good thing about the little girl is that as long as she is called, she will basically get up as soon as she is called, and she will not be too shameless. In the past two months, she has basically been getting up with Li Heng, and she has been practicing boxing in the yard in the morning.
Not to mention how the boxing training went, I don’t know whether it’s because women’s body bones are naturally more flexible or something else, but Li was able to do all kinds of crosshairs easily, as well as some difficult movements such as lowering the waist.
Heng's eyes are straight, so he can't do certain movements.
"Brother, what do you have for breakfast?"
"Steamed buns and porridge, I'll fry two more poached eggs."
"Oh, what do you want to eat tonight?"
"Let's eat noodles tonight. Didn't we cook so much meat yesterday?"
"That's okay. I'll roll out some noodles when you come back in the evening. Ah, don't make trouble, your hands are cold."
While laughing and joking, the young couple finished breakfast, fed Xiaobai, locked the door and walked to work together.
On her feet were the suede leather shoes issued by the police, a cotton-padded jacket and cotton trousers, a cotton coat on top, and a large cotton hat issued by the police on her head. Looking from behind, Fang Xiaoya was wrapped up.
Like a bear, the whole person is in a circle.
"Hey brother, didn't I go out with Xiaohu's wife Xiuhua, Xinyi and Mingxia yesterday?"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"Sister Mingxia told me yesterday that she wanted to sell the big yard to see if our family wanted it. If we didn't want it, she thought it was too late and she might as well just donate it."
"Ah?" At this moment, Li Heng was wondering if he heard it wrong. He turned his head and looked at the little girl beside him, and asked a little uncertainly: "The big courtyard she mentioned refers to the one currently used in the office.
courtyard?"
"Yes, she only has two properties, and doesn't she live in the small yard by herself?"
"Why is she thinking about getting rid of the big yard?"
"I don't know about this. I asked, but Sister Mingxia didn't tell me." The little girl was also a little confused.
That courtyard is not just an ordinary three-entry courtyard. Like the previous courtyard No. 5, it was also a three-entry courtyard, but it was an ordinary large three-entry courtyard.
But Zhao Mingxia's house is not like that. It is true that it has three entrances, but the rooms in the middle courtyard and the backyard are all two-story, and the most important thing is that the back garden is not included at all.
The back garden of that courtyard covers an area that can even be said to be larger than the three gardens in front combined. It not only has a rockery but also an artificial lake.
Want it?
Of course Li Heng wanted it. Currently, houses with clear property rights are still allowed to be bought and sold by private parties. He didn't know when exactly it was stopped.
But he knew that by the time it was allowed again, it would be in the 1980s.
This kind of courtyard is hard to come by, and it really fits the saying that if you pass this village, there will be no shop like this.
But he also has concerns, not about whether he can afford it, but about how to report it after buying it.
"Girl, do you want it?"
"Brother, is this a question of whether I want it or not? It's currently being used by the office. It's impossible for us to buy it and drive away the office, right?"
