A young educated youth who repays his gratitude

On this day, the whole brigade was enveloped in the smell of meat, and laughter was everywhere.

Bai Lele and the others are also cooking delicious food at home.

On this day, the entire brigade was enveloped in the smell of meat, and laughter was everywhere.

Bai Lele and the others also made delicious food at home. First, they boiled a set of head and hooves in water, and then began to boil pork suet.

Suet for a pig weighs [-] to [-] catties, enough to last for half a year.

"good to eat."

Bai Lele took a piece of oil and put it in his mouth. The smell of the freshly baked oil still burned his mouth, "Eat a piece too."

He fed Huo Changqing a mouthful, and put a few pieces in a bowl for Baowa, "Eat slowly, be careful not to burn your mouth."

"Yeah." Baowa'er sat obediently on the small bench, put the bowl on her knees, lowered her head and smelled it, and said, "It smells good."

"Don't eat too much." Huo Changqing said while pretending to be boiled meat oil, "I'll have a lot of meat later."

"Understood, Dad." Baowa'er's crisp little milk voice was deliberately elongated and coquettish, "I want to eat a lot of meat."

"Let you eat a lot." Bai Lele saw him acting like a baby, and said with a smile: "Our family has a lot of meat, enough for you to eat."

After distributing the pork to the brigade, there were dozens of catties of meat left, and Huo Changqing took it back.

Enough for their family to eat for a while.

Bai Lele watched Huo Changqing put the meat oil into the jar, and said with a smile: "It's best to stew eggplant and beans with meat oil."

"Yeah." Huo Changqing finished filling the meat oil quickly with his hands and feet, and began to cut the meat again, "To my elder sister and third sister's family, five catties each?"

"Okay." Bai Lele looked at Huo Changqing and him, nodded in confusion and said, "Send it, we have so many."

It's mid-May now, and the weather isn't very hot, but the meat won't keep for a few days either.

Bai Lele thought it was nothing to give his sister a few catties of meat, and didn't understand why Huo Changqing asked himself.

"I want to discuss it with you." Huo Changqing looked at him with puzzled eyes, and explained: "Everyone has their own family, and our family naturally needs your consent."

Bai Lele: "..."

That said... but he was happy to prove that he was closer than his sisters.

Huo Changqing and himself are family.

"It's okay to give more." Bai Lele was happy, and became more generous, "Give some to your other sisters as well. You can't favor one over another."

"No." Huo Changqing directly refused, and then said: "I counted according to the usual contacts, relatives have friends who are far and near, and friends are thick or thin."

"In the future, you have to weigh more in your dealings with people, and you have an idea in your heart."

"Oh." Bai Lele understood that Huo Changqing was telling himself who to be close to him, "Got it."

"Shall we let Chang Ping and the others deliver it?" Bai Lele said, "But Crane City is far away, they won't be able to come back at noon."

"Just send it to the town." Huo Changqing said: "Let the third child take it there, she now goes to Crane City twice a day."

Huo Changqing's third sister married into the town and is also a bus conductor. She would go to Crane City every morning and afternoon.

Usually, let her take anything at home.

"Then I'll go find them." Bai Lele said, "Send it now, and I'll have lunch when I come back."

As he spoke, he went to find someone. Today is Sunday, and the two brothers are at home on vacation.

After sending them away, Huo Changqing started cooking the dishes for lunch, almost all of which were from pigs.

Braised pork, braised pork ribs, fatty intestines, liver tips, kidneys, pork knuckles...

Bai Lele saw that he still wanted to do it, so she hurriedly stopped: "Don't do too much, we won't be able to eat it."

"Half-sized children eat poor old people." Huo Changqing smiled, "Don't look at Changping and the others, they can eat better than you."

He said so, but still stopped, "I'll do it at night, and I'll let you eat enough for the next few days, so as not to be always gluttonous."

"Who's greedy?" Bai Lele refused to admit it, but swallowed her saliva, "You made it so delicious."

Huo Changqing smiled and said nothing, and finally added two more vegetables, one vegetable stir-fried cabbage and one cold spinach.

"These dishes are richer than the Chinese New Year." Bai Lele looked at the eight dishes on the table and said cheerfully, "When the Chinese New Year comes, our family will kill a pig."

"Okay." Huo Changqing agreed happily, and said, "From now on, we will kill pigs every year, so that you will have meat to eat all winter."

This year, the family has raised three more pigs, and killed a pig that I fed myself, and it feels more delicious to eat.

When Bai Lele heard this, his mind moved, and he said happily, "I know how to spend the money."

……

Time passed, and by the end of May, Bai Lele's shoulders were almost healed.

It doesn't hurt to move.

Early this morning, Bai Lele waved to Huo Changqing: "I'm leaving."

"En." Huo Changqing instructed: "Call me back if I have something to do."

"Got it." Bai Lele smiled, enjoying Huo Changqing's concern in her heart, "Don't worry, I'm fine."

Huo Changqing watched him leave, with a hint of loneliness in his calm eyes, and a little irritability in his helplessness.

His mother gave birth to five daughters before Huo Changqing was born. At that time in the brigade, many people said that their family was extinct.

The elder sisters were often pointed at by people, saying that they would have no brothers to support them after they got married, and they could only be bullied for the rest of their lives.

It wasn't until he had him that all this changed. The family members could stand upright and be no longer underestimated. The situation improved a lot.

For a long time, Huo Changqing felt very tired, and many things were on him.

The elder sister's family needs to be taken care of, the two younger brothers have to be taken care of, and the parents' expectations of him.

It's all his responsibility.

Just like when Bai Lele left, he couldn't follow him, so he could only stay and take care of the family's affairs.

Watching her lover leave by herself.

Bai Lele was sitting on the tractor, not knowing that Huo Changqing was in a complicated mood at the moment, talking to Huo Xinghe all the way.

Coming to town soon.

"I wish you a smooth journey." Huo Xinghe said politely, "All wishes come true."

Huo Xinglong, the boy with the car, laughed "puchi", "Brother Xinghe, you seem to have just graduated from primary school?"

"Get out." Huo Xinghe scolded him with a smile: "What does this have to do with going to school, no one can say good things."

Bai Lele looked at them with a smile, waved her hand and said, "I'd like to borrow your good words."

He turned around and got on the bus, watching Huo Xinghe and the two go away, feeling very satisfied.

Bai Lele was injured and couldn't drive the tractor, now let Huo Xinghe drive it, and hired a person from the brigade to go with him to pull the earthwork.

Although the cost has increased, the two of them are capable. They work early in the morning and work late at night, and they have to pay a lot of money for the laborer to load and unload by himself.

You can also earn fifty yuan a day.

Even if Bai Lele is idle every day, he is doing better than most people, even better than those street vendors who do small business in wind and rain.

He can be regarded as a happy person who is lying at home as a small boss, not worrying about hard work, just waiting for the money.

More than an hour later, the bus arrived at Crane City, and Bai Lele got off at the train station.

He looked at his watch, it was a little past seven o'clock, and he could just take the nine o'clock train.

You can go to Harbin at night.

"Buy a ticket to Harbin at [-] o'clock." Bai Lele went to the ticket gate, took out the money and was about to hand it in, when the conductor said, "No more."

"Then..." Bai Lele thought about it, and just as he was about to speak, someone patted his shoulder lightly.

As soon as Bai Lele turned her head, she saw the middle-aged man behind her, nodding to him.

"Little brother." The man Zhang Jinghang smiled slightly, "Do you want to buy a ticket to Harbin City at nine o'clock?"

He raised the ticket in his hand, "I have this ticket, but if there is something urgent to refund the ticket, you can transfer it to you if you need it."

Bai Lele's lost mood suddenly rose, and she said with a smile on her face, "Uncle, thank you."

"You're welcome." Zhang Jinghang smiled and motioned Bai Lele to make room for a while, "I'll show the ticket to the conductor to verify the authenticity."

"No need." Just as Bai Lele was about to stop him, Zhang Jinghang had already handed the ticket to the conductor and explained the situation, so he could only stand aside and watch.

When queuing up just now, he was almost in line with the man, but now there are more than a dozen people behind him.

Bai Lele felt in his heart that this person would not sell fake tickets.

"Okay." Zhang Jinghang gave the ticket to Bai Lele, and asked him to approach the ticket gate to listen to the ticket seller's authenticity.

Bai Lele could only follow suit, then gave the money to Zhang Jinghang, and said with a smile, "Uncle, although I am young, I feel that you are trustworthy the first time I see you."

"It's better to test it." Zhang Jinghang said: "This way you can rest assured."

He is in his 40s, with a serious face and a gentle tone.

"Young people, it's better to be more vigilant."

"En." Bai Lele nodded and thanked Zhang Jinghang: "Thank you, Uncle."

"You're welcome." Zhang Jinghang waved his hand and said indifferently, "Selling it to you kills two birds with one stone. We each get something, so it's a mutual fulfillment."

Bai Lele understood what he meant. Zhang Jinghang needs a handling fee to refund the ticket, and the refunded money is not the full amount.

Selling it to myself was the full price, and there was no loss of a penny, and it was still open and above board at Ticketing.

It's not like selling tickets.

And being able to leave on time without having to think of other ways, isn't it just like what Zhang Jinghang said to help each other.

Even so, Bai Lele still sincerely thanked, "Then I also have to thank Uncle, it was you who helped me first."

Zhang Jinghang shook his head and didn't say anything else. The age gap between the two met by chance, so there was nothing much to talk about.

So he waved his hand and left.

But as soon as he moved his footsteps, he was stopped by someone: "Old Zhang."

Zhang Jinghang turned his head and looked at the man who was hurrying over. It was his colleague Lao Li.

"Hey." Zhang Jinghang asked, "Lao Li, why are you here?"

"Come here to see off a relative." Lao Li said, "Didn't you not sell the house, so you can't leave for the time being? Why did you come to the station?"

"Come over here to refund the ticket." Zhang Jinghang looked helpless, with a hint of bitterness at the corner of his mouth, and said: "It really hurt me, and I changed my mind about what I had already agreed."

He was transferred from work, and all his family left with him, so he had to sell the house.

Save yourself a trip back later.

But after finding a good buyer and agreeing to pay for the formalities the day before leaving, the family temporarily changed their minds and refused to buy.

Zhang Jinghang was cheated.

"Then what do you do?" Lao Li said: "It's not a problem for the whole family to wait, you still have to hand over the work."

"The family members go first." Zhang Jinghang said, "I'll stay for two more days to see if I can sell it. If it doesn't work, I'll put it away and come back to deal with it when I have time."

He patted Lao Li on the shoulder and asked, "You can help too. When you meet someone who buys a house in the future, introduce him to me."

"It must be." Lao Li immediately said: "We have been in a relationship for so many years, someone will definitely introduce you to you, so don't be too anxious."

Bai Lele was about to leave, but when he heard the house was being sold, he couldn't move anymore.

He came out this time with the purpose of spending money, Bai Lele slapped his head in frustration.

Why didn't you think of buying a house?

Just as Bai Lele was about to ask about the situation, he heard that old Li say, "It's really not possible, so you can sell it to Lao Chen cheaply, he is just greedy for cheap."

We are all colleagues, and Lao Li is also in a dilemma. Even if there are people who want to buy a house, they have to introduce them to Zhang Jinghang.

Also keep it from the other side.

Otherwise, people will be offended, and everyone will look bad if they bow their heads and don't look up.

He is not like Zhang Jinghang who sold the house, patted his ass and left, and never had a chance to see each other again.

"Let's forget it." Zhang Jinghang obviously saw what he meant, but he refused directly with his straightforward nature, "I just want to lower the price for others, even if I can't sell it and keep it there, I won't sell it to him cheaply."

Too dishonest.

It was agreed long ago that he would not ask for a high price, because of the face of his colleagues.

Zhang Jinghang had already calculated the minimum.

And because it was a colleague who wanted to buy it, Zhang Jinghang didn't spread the news, otherwise, why would the house not be sold?

Make it like this now.

"That's fine." Lao Li smiled awkwardly, "You're not in a hurry to spend the money. It doesn't matter if you sell it early or late. You just want to come back again."

After he finished speaking and left, Zhang Jinghang stood there for a while, waiting for Lao Li to go far before going outside the station.

Zhang Jinghang's footsteps were heavy, and he sighed helplessly in his heart: before he left, he experienced the taste of cold tea.

Bai Lele followed behind him. The station was not a place to talk about things because there were people coming and going.

He followed Zhang Jinghang all the way until he got out of the station gate and reached a place where there were few people, and then he called out: "Uncle, wait a moment."

Zhang Jinghang: "..."

He paused, wondering if he was calling himself, seeing that there was no one else around, the voice came from behind again.

Zhang Jinghang turned his head hesitantly, and saw Bai Lele smiling. The two had just finished talking.

"You?" Zhang Jinghang's eyes were full of doubts, he wouldn't want to refund the ticket to himself, would he?

"Uncle." Bai Lele didn't think too much, and smiled directly: "Just now I heard that you are going to sell the house, I..."

He rubbed his head in embarrassment, and explained to Zhang Jinghang: "I didn't mean to listen to you, but just when I was about to leave, I heard you mentioned selling the house."

Bai Lele said: "I want to buy it, but I wonder if I can talk to you?"

"Of course." Zhang Jinghang looked at his watch, and it was just 07:30, so he said, "If you want to see the house, I can take you there now. It's not far away, and it won't delay your catching the train."

When he spoke just now, he knew that Bai Lele hadn't left, which was normal at this bustling station.

Zhang Jinghang naturally didn't care.

When selling tickets just now, he had a crush on Bai Lele, she was good-looking and young.

Treat people with sincerity and courtesy.

"Then go and have a look." Bai Lele naturally wanted to see the house, how could he buy it with just a few words, so he immediately smiled and said, "Let's talk as we walk."

He also joked: "Maybe we will make another train later."

"Hahaha." Zhang Jinghang was amused by him: "This is impossible, without a ticket, my ticket is not in your hands."

"It's okay." Bai Lele winked at him, and said with a smile: "As long as you buy a ticket for this train, no matter where you go, you can go with your family."

Zhang Jinghang: "..."

Bai Lele looked at him and said with a bright smile, "Uncle, you can make up the fare on the bus."

Zhang Jinghang: "..."

His eyes lit up, and he immediately took Bai Lele's arm, "Go, uncle will take you to see the house."
