Chapter 173 Brother He
Fu Jingyou looked back at He Minjie in her arms.
The little guy has a round face and is very cute. It can be seen that He Fengcang and Tian Guihua raised him well.
He was just as dirty as a small briquette.
Fu Jingyou sat on the horse, holding small briquettes and placing them on the ground.
After looking around, he took a gourd and scooped some water into the jar.
He didn't drink the hot water Tian Guihua poured for him. He poured the steaming boiling water into the gourd and tried it.
It’s warm and the temperature is okay.
With nothing else to wipe on hand, Fu Jingyou wet the rag and patiently and carefully wiped He Minjie's face and hands clean one by one.
He Minjie's little face was flushed by the heat, and he was so rosy that he looked attractive.
Fu Jingyou's sharp brows softened, and she poked his cheek teasingly:
"Call me uncle."
He Minjie looked at him, pursed his lips and blew bubbles.
He said again: "Call me uncle."
"Bah!"
He Minjie spat all over his face with a "poof" sound.
"Little boy."
Fu Jingyou wiped his face, pretended to be fierce and patted He Minjie's butt, and the little guy laughed happily.
Fu Jingyou shook his head, his mind was on a train, and he suddenly started to fantasize.
When can he and Lu Miao be together and have a child of his own?
Will the child be like He Minjie by then?
The naughty uncles and uncles are spitting on you?
Fu Jingyou shook his head, his face soft and amused by his own thoughts.
He picked up He Minjie and put him on his lap to tease him. Suddenly, footsteps coming from far and near came from outside the door.
Fu Jingyou hugged He Minjie and stood up, just as He Fengcang and Tian Guihua came in from the door.
"Xiao Liu, your sister-in-law said you came to see me for something? What's the matter?"
The two brothers of the He family both look like He Hongjin, have rough voices, are not short in stature, and both have thick eyebrows and big eyes. young man.
He Fengcang works in a coal factory. His daily work is not light. Coupled with the heavy coal dust, he always gets dirty easily.
So at first glance, He Fengcang looks much older.
He is in his twenties and looks like he is thirty years old.
Tian Guihua stretched out her hand to hug the child.
Fu Jingyou avoided, "Sister-in-law, you are busy, I will hold you for a while."
"That's okay."
"Are there any peanuts at home?"
He Fengcang glanced at it and said, "You stir up some, and Xiaoliu and I will have a couple of cups."
"Hey."
Tian Guihua responded with a smile, carrying the stove to the door to light a fire.
Fu Jingyou quickly stopped: "I won't drink this time, second brother. The commune has to build roads and there are things at home. I will rush back as soon as I finish my business."
"You. "
He Fengcang shook his head and laughed. He pulled the small table out of the gap in the bed and opened it.
"It's rare that I come here and I'm not in a hurry. I have a lot of things to ask you!"
"I haven't had time to go back. How are my parents at home? Are they still healthy?"< br>
He Fengcang chatted with Fu Jingyou about his family. Fu Jingyou saw that he was worried about his family, so he sat down around the table and talked about the situation at home seriously.
"My uncle and aunt are both in good health. There is not much work in the team since winter, so I need some leisure time. My uncle's side...the commune has arranged road construction, and there are many things to do." A little, but that’s okay. When the weather gets colder, people need to feel more comfortable when they’re busy.”
"That's it."
He Fengcang nodded, brought a warm kettle and filled it with Fu Jingyou, and gradually got down to business:
"Speaking of which, why did you come here this time? I heard that you have a wife, how are you doing? Are you short of money? "
The job of an iron rice bowl is certainly tiring, but it still earns more than farming.
Tian Guihua is very taboo about relatives coming to borrow money, but to He Fengcang, Fu Jingyou is not a relative.
He is the younger brother.
He and his boss He Fengshou were in the county and the other in the town.
I only care about myself and my family throughout the year. Most of the older couples in the team are taken care of by this younger brother.
If Fu Jingyou is short of money, He Fengcang is willing to get it for him.
Without Fu Jingyou opening his mouth, He Fengcang stood up and approached the end of the bed to get the money.
"Second brother, I didn't come here this time because of money..."
Fu Jingyou saw his actions and quickly stood up and pulled him back.
"I am married to a daughter-in-law. She is an educated youth and comes from the northern city."
"I heard that coal is available in the north in winter... This is her first time in the south. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt to the winter, so I want to get some coal from you, okay?"
Fu Jingyou explained his purpose, but did not indicate that it was Lu Miao who wanted it.
He Fengcang was stunned for two seconds and looked at him in surprise:
“Good boy, you are really capable!”
He Fengcang grinned and shouted toward the door:
"Damn it, Minjie, did you hear that? My brother married an educated youth aunt!"
Fu Jingyou scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.
"You are no longer a child after you marry a wife. You know how to think about your wife. This is right!"
He Fengcang smiled heartily and was sincerely happy for Fu Jingyou.
"Coal is a small matter. I have a supply of fifty kilograms this month. Have you brought anything? In this way, you take it all back first. If it is not enough, come back later!"
< br>In fact, you can buy coal by squatting outside, but coal tickets are difficult to get.
He Fengcang is a coal factory worker. He can give up his share of the supply to Fu Jingyou, which shows that he has a way to buy coal.
This is also the reason why Fu Jingyou comes here.
"Second brother, you should keep your own coal. If there is a way to buy coal, you can show me the way and I will buy it."
Fu Jingyou didn't hide it either. , confessed directly:
< br>"I'm sure this is not the only thing about coal, and you can't give it to me every time. If you can buy it, let me buy it."
Make money easy When it comes to things, don't always use favors.
No matter how good the relationship is between people, discord will always arise easily over time.
“You boy, you have really become an indomitable man!”
He Fengcang didn’t understand what he meant, and immediately shook his head and laughed:
“Okay Well, I'll do it for you. You don't have to look for it. Others."
"Coal factory workers not only have a monthly supply of coal, but also an internal price for buying carbon. The lotus root coal available on the market is five cents per pound, and we have a separate internal price. , four cents a pound, no tickets.”
[Lotus root coal: Honeycomb coal, the old name in the south. 】
He Fengcang thought for a while and added:
“But there is a quota every month, and you can only buy a hundred catties of it.”
In fact, It is a benefit provided by coal plants to workers. Those who have the conditions and are willing to give it can buy it back for the elderly at home.
I don’t dare to release too much of my share, because I am afraid that someone will take advantage of it and resell it on the black market.
"How much money do you have? How much coal do you want? Don't be embarrassed if you don't have enough money. My second brother will take it for you first."
Here are the votes!
