Chapter 209 Hot
At noon, the sun is scorching.
The fierce flowing fire was baking the earth, and even the air was distorting.
The green trees on the street are sickly, and the wilted leaves seem to be falling off at any time.
The summer cicada screamed cheerfully, and the crisp chirps one after another intertwined into a noisy symphony, disturbing the dreams of countless people.
Director Chu is particularly busy today.
As soon as he arrived at work in the morning, he was notified and ran to the office to hold a mobilization meeting. After returning at about ten o'clock, he went to the street office to hold a mobilization meeting, and waited until he returned to the store to continue A small meeting was held for employees to convey the theme spirit of the two meetings.
He has been in this state during this period. He has been in this state for three days, one meeting at five o'clock, and one meeting at five o'clock. He is bored to death.
“This damn weather is too hot!”
Chu Heng, who had just eaten, was sweating and sat next to his wife with a cattail leaf fan, fanning her hard, but the wind was all over her. Hot, although it can also bring some coolness, but its effect is limited.
"It's so hot!"
Ni Yinghong, covered in sweat, lay weakly on the chair, with a small white hand constantly pulling on the skirt of her chest, which was soaked with sweat, in order to protect herself. Can be more cool.
She has been afraid of heat since she was a child, and even more so after getting married. She sweats non-stop when the temperature is slightly higher, and she doesn't know if it is due to kidney deficiency.
Chu Heng looked at the scenery that was revealed from time to time under the girl's collar, but at this moment his heart felt calm.
In this kind of weather, he really couldn't think of anything.
After-dinner desserts, afternoon flower viewing, etc. are placed in front of you without even touching them!
After a while, Chu Heng couldn't bear the heat anymore. He thought for a while and said to his wife: "I can't do it anymore. Let's buy some popsicles to eat."
"Okay, Buy more and share it with Aunt Sun and the others."
Ni Yinghong readily agreed and quickly extended her hand. She went to touch her pocket and rummaged through it for a while. She looked at the man with a sad face and said, "I put my money in the pair of pants you tore last night. I forgot to take it out when I changed my pants this morning!"
"It's okay, I have it here." Chu Heng quickly took out five dollars from his pocket, stood up and was about to leave.
"Wait a minute!"
Ni Yinghong sat up suddenly, stared at her big watery eyes, and asked with a tight mouth: "Where did you get this money? I won't give you two this month. Do you need a pocket allowance?”
The girl has always been very strict with the family’s finances. In addition to buying three large front doors for the man, she only gives two yuan for pocket money. If there are other expenses, you need to apply again. , she will only give it if she thinks it is reasonable.
Otherwise, it’s impossible. The man in her family is really a spendthrift. He really spends ten yuan if he has ten yuan in his hand, and spends five yuan if he has five yuan, without giving you any leftovers!
So we must strictly control it, otherwise our life will not be good!
The sudden extra five dollars in the man's pocket at this time shows that he has other sources of income, so he must find them quickly and stop the loss in time.
Chu Heng was also confused by the heat and forgot all about this. He looked at his wife who was trying hard to be serious with a straight face, but she became even cuter. As soon as his brain changed, he started talking nonsense. Said: "Xu Damao gave this to me. Didn't he ask me to do something for him yesterday? This money is for running errands."
"People have already given me things, so how can you still accept the money?" Yes, why didn't you give me this money yesterday?" Ni Yinghong raised her eyebrows and asked angrily: "Is there any more?"
"You came back too late yesterday, I forgot about it? ." Chu Heng took out his pocket with a smile, took out a ten-dollar sheet and handed it to his wife, saying: "That's it."
One lie requires countless lies to cover it up.
Just like now, if he said that he only had five yuan for running errands, even a fool would not believe it, so he could only dig out some more and collect twenty yuan. This amount was just right, covering more than half a month's salary for ordinary people. , which is a lot of money.
Seeing this, Ni Yinghong did not doubt him. After reaching out to take the fifteen yuan, she turned into a strict mother again and preached to the man: "In the future, when others ask you for help, you cannot accept them. Does Qian know? This is a mistake!" "Oh, I understand." Chu Heng showed an open mind and then said: Said: "Then I went to buy popsicles?"
"Go ahead." Ni Yinghong nodded, considering the prodigal nature of his man, he couldn't help but said: "Buy ice pops." Just make a brick, don’t buy something too good.”
“Got it!” Chu Heng ran out of the office without looking back.
Needless to say, his little Ni is quite decent when he is serious, a bit like a prosecutor!
Teachers, too...
How about getting two sets of clothes one day?
While thinking wildly, the dog came to the front room. At this time, the aunts were no longer interested in chatting, and were huddled in the corner and taking a nap listlessly. Guo Xia and Lian Qing were even more imageless. On the ground covered with cloth bags, there looked like two dogs...
Chu Heng walked slowly to the door and looked up at the fireball that was about to fall hanging in the blue sky. He really didn't want to expose himself to Under the scorching sun.
So Director Chu showed his official authority and turned to Lian Qing and shouted: "Qingzi, Xiazi, you two take the money to buy some popsicles and come back to relieve everyone's heat."
"Here we come. !”
When Lian Qing and the others heard that they were going to buy popsicles, they hurriedly got up from the ground and ran to him.
After Guo Xia took the money, he asked Director Chu: "Brother, how many do you want to buy?"
"Count how many people there are, two ice bricks per person." Chu Heng Hao waved his hand, his wife only said to buy ice bricks, but not the quantity.
Hey, we've got a bug again!
Dai Daesheng is so wild!
Not long after, the two brothers Lian Qing came back with eighteen cold popsicles.
As the aunts expressed their gratitude as if they had saved their lives, Chu Heng took the remaining four dollars, sixty-four cents and four popsicles of his own, and rolled back to the office.
“Eat quickly, eat it cold.”
Chu Heng put the remaining money and two popsicles into his wife's hand, and then enjoyed his two popsicles.
It doesn’t have any special taste, it just has a little bit of sugar in it, so it has a little bit of sweetness.
It’s only two cents, what else do you want?
Eat and you’re done!
After eating two popsicles in one go, the couple finally felt better, and then they began to feel sleepy again, and they fell asleep in a daze.
At around two o'clock, Chu Heng woke up from the heat. He wiped the oily sweat from his face, looked up at his wife, and saw that she was still sleeping, so he didn't disturb her and went to the kitchen to wash his face. , just took the bag and wandered out of the unit.
The heat outside has subsided a bit, but it is still very hot.
Chu Heng pedaled his bike hard all the way, choosing to walk in shadowed areas. The strong wind blowing in his face dried the sweat on his body and made him feel much better.
Twenty minutes later, he finally arrived at the steel rolling mill.
Going downstairs to the office building and locking the car, he quickly got in the door.
By coincidence, as soon as Chu Heng climbed up to the second floor, he bumped into the Qin sisters chatting with someone at the stairs.
When he was in the courtyard, he didn't talk to Qin Huairu, but in front of outsiders, he couldn't just ignore it, so he waved his hand and greeted with a smile: "Jingru, Qin Huairu Sister, what are you talking about?”
