night.
get off work.
Dong Xuebin came out of the office.
"Director Dong, are you back?" Han Fei smiled.
"Well, everyone should go home early." Dong Xuebin said.
Zhang Lili said: "It's okay, I'll finish the things at hand."
Li Hong and Han Fei hadn't even finished their work yet, so they didn't leave yet. After all, they had just taken office, so they couldn't act too casually.
"Everyone, just watch for a while. If you have something to do, you can do it tomorrow." Dong Xuebin has never been a mean leader and has always been considerate of his subordinates.
Squeak, no door opens.
Luo Haiting also walked out with her bag.
Dong Xuebin turned around and said, "Director Luo is also going back? Let's go together?"
"Okay, I'll give you a ride." Luo Haiting smiled. "Actually, I still don't know my way around. I just came to the capital and I can't tell the difference between south, east, north, and west, and I have no sense of direction."
Dong Xuebin smiled and said: "The roads in Beijing are easy to recognize. Basically, they are due south and north. You will be familiar with them after walking for two days. Then let's go, I will send you back."
Luo Haiting smoothed her long hair and said, "Thank you."
Dong Xuebin turned his head and said to the others: "Sister Zhang, Xiao Han, Xiao Li, you should go back early, don't do it too late, so as not to worry about the family."
Han Fei raised her head and said, "Leave now."
Dong Xuebin then went downstairs with Luo Haiting.
…
On the road.
Inside the car.
Luo Haiting looked at him and said, "Xuebin, what are you having for dinner?"
"I don't know yet, I'm too lazy to do it myself. Maybe find a restaurant." Dong Xuebin said.
"How about going to eldest sister's house to eat?" Luo Haiting said with a smile, "eldest sister will cook a good meal for you."
Dong Xuebin hesitated. In fact, he had been thinking about Sister Luo's cooking skills for a long time. Lao Luo's cooking was particularly delicious. "Isn't it suitable? There are many people in the family home, so it's more..." After a pause, Dong Xuebin coughed. "Why don't you come to my house? We have all the food. I just bought it yesterday."
Luo Haiting said without thinking: "Okay, it's the same."
Dong Xuebin swallowed and spat, "That's great. I've long wanted to eat your cooking."
This guy is hungry too. So he stepped on the accelerator to speed up, drove directly to Houhai, stopped the car, and the two of them walked into the alley.
In the courtyard.
The temperature is getting colder and colder in winter.
Especially today. Things have changed a bit. A little colder.
Dong Xuebin and Luo Haiting felt it as soon as they entered the house. After putting down their bags, they felt that it was colder inside than outside. After all, it was a bungalow and there was no heating. Dong Xuebin rummaged through the cabinets and found an electric stove and turned it on. However, the room was too big and it didn't work well. It was still a bit cold.
Luo Haiting asked: "No fire?"
"I didn't pay attention to it in the past two days." Dong Xuebin put his hand in front of the electric heater to heat it, breathing heavily. "With this temperature, I will definitely not be able to sleep at night."
Luo Haiting asked: "Do you have a stove?"
"Yes, I have been throwing it away with Westinghouse, uh, but there is no coal." Dong Xuebin said: "I forgot to buy it." He has not lived in a bungalow for a long time. In the past, Dong Xuebin's family would put coal away when winter was about to come. He Tan has been bought and prepared and can be used at any time. However, now that there are more and more things to do and he is getting busier, and he has not spent the winter in a bungalow for many years, Dong Xuebin has long lost this awareness.
Luo Haiting smiled bitterly, "You can't make a fire without coal."
Suddenly, there was a shout, or rather a shout, from outside.
"Coal briquettes!"
"briquettes!"
By coincidence, the coal seller is here!
Dong Xuebin didn't expect that there were still coal sellers in the alleys of Beijing. His eyes lit up and he hurried out and shouted "Wait a minute!"
As soon as he went out, he saw a man riding a tricycle pulling a cart of coal parked there. He looked back at Dong Xuebin and said, "How much do you want?"
Dong Xuebin took a look and saw that there wasn't much left on the three-wheeler. He obviously sold a lot. "Give me half of the car. Do you have the charcoal? How many yuan does it cost?" The entire courtyard belongs to Dong Xuebin's family and there are many rooms. , he naturally has to buy more to prepare, otherwise if he lights two more fires, it will definitely not be enough. This means that in the early winter, there are still people pulling carts and selling coal. If he wants to buy it later, he will have to find it by himself. , it is better to buy more now, a piece of coal is not much, Dong Xuebin is not short of this, he will still use it next year if he doesn’t use it.
The big man said: "Okay."
Luo Haiting followed up and said, "Will you help us move in?"
"That's for sure." The big man said, "You guys should make room."
Like a hostess, Luo Haiting immediately entered the house and started looking for a place to put coal.
Not long after, half a cart of coal entered the yard of Dong Xuebin's house. It was placed in a corner of the house where there was an eave. Later, it would be covered with plastic sheeting or other things, and that would be enough.
Dong Xuebin went back to the house to get the money.
As a result, when he came out, the coal seller had already left, and Sister Luo had already paid the bill.
"Sister Luo, what are you doing?" Dong Xuebin was a little unhappy, "Where can I get you money?"
"Haha, it's not much." Luo Haiting smiled and said, "You didn't give me less money, so why are we talking about this and that? We're not outsiders."
Dong Xuebin said helplessly, "Then... thank you."
"Where is the stove in the west room? I'll get it." Luo Haiting turned around and went in.
"Don't bother me." Dong Xuebin hurriedly followed inside and pulled her arm to stop her. "Your red skirt and sweater can't help but get dirty, but don't, you'll get them dirty again." , Besides, you can’t move it, just don’t worry and I’ll do it myself.”
Luo Haiting pondered and said with a smile: "Then the eldest sister will take the chimney."
"Okay." Dong Xuebin carried the stove out and carried it out. It was very heavy and sometimes had to be dragged on the ground. It took a long time to drag it into the north room.
there.
Luo Haiting had already inserted the chimney, tore off the paper reserved on the window, stepped on the chair and pushed out the chimney.
The stove is installed.
Install the chimney.
I also beat him with tape on the excuse.
Dong Xuebin put the coal down, added a piece of charcoal at the bottom, and several pieces of coal on top. He used pliers to poke the holes in the briquettes and straightened them out. Then he skillfully brought some newspapers, clenched them together, and lit them with a lighter. He took the front part, stuffed it into the mouth under the stove, and blew gently with his mouth.
call.
call.
The coals are burning.
Luo Haiting smiled and said: "I really didn't realize that you are quite skilled?"
Dong Xuebin covered one-third of the stove mouth, then raised his head and said: "Can you be unskilled? When we lived in a bungalow, my father and my mother had weak waists, so I lit all the fires at home. At that time, the family was poor and charcoal was expensive. , I'm not willing to buy it. Where can I make a fire so easily? I just find some firewood and dead branches everywhere and put them in. I use newspapers to light the firewood first, and then slowly roast the briquettes and light the fire once. It's full. The house is full of smoke, which is choking. Now there are charcoal, and the charcoal burns very well now, so it is not as troublesome as before. "Dong Xuebin is more knowledgeable about this kind of thing than Luo Haiting, because he is bitter. Over the years, I have suffered a lot.
The fire started.
The room gradually became warmer.
However, as soon as the two of them walked out of the house, they felt that the yard was filled with thick smoke. Luo Haiting covered her mouth and coughed a few times, "Sister, go cook."
Dong Xuebin's eyes were also sore from the smoke. "It's troublesome."
After about a minute, the smoke in the yard dispersed. The door to the north room was opened, and the thick smoke in the room gradually dissipated.
It's time to eat.
Luo Haiting has fried the vegetables.
Dong Xuebin sat with her next to the stove in the north room, feeling the warm temperature all around. They had dinner together and felt very good.
Luo Haiting asked: "Is it okay?"
Dong Xuebin said: "Can your craftsmanship be good? It's delicious."
Luo Haiting smiled and gave him some vegetables, "Then eat more."
While eating, Luo Haiting suddenly blinked, "Is your phone ringing?"
"Huh?" Dong Xuebin heard that there was indeed some movement, so he walked to the back room, opened his bag, took out his mobile phone and saw that it was his mother Luan Xiaoping calling, but when he picked it up, there was no sound. , after thinking about it, Dong Xuebin called his mother again, but he didn’t know who his mother was calling. The voice prompt was that the number you dialed was on the phone. Dong Xuebin called again, but it still didn’t go through, so he called again. I didn't think about it anymore. My mother had to call me every week, probably just to ask about my situation. Nothing happened.
After coming out, Dong Xuebin continued to eat.
After dinner, Dong Xuebin and Luo Haiting sat in the dining room and watched TV. Although it was nothing, Dong Xuebin always felt itchy in his heart and the atmosphere was a bit ambiguous. After all, he had slept with Sister Luo, although the two of them had There is nothing more, but what happened can never be forgotten.
It's past seven o'clock.
It was already dark.
Luo Haiting didn't say she was leaving. She was still watching the news and exchanging words with Dong Xuebin from time to time. The two discussed current affairs.
Dong Xuebin has been coughing and doesn't know what to do.
However, Luo Haiting was more generous. When the news was over, she glanced at Dong Xuebin and checked the time. "Sister, I'm not in a hurry to go back, otherwise..." After that, Luo Haiting turned over her sweater under Dong Xuebin's dumbfounded gaze. , it was taken off. You know, there is nothing else under Sister Luo's sweater. It is just a bra. The blue bra was immediately exposed. As a result, before it was exposed for a second, Sister Luo She put her hands behind her again, unhooked her bra calmly, and threw it aside.
Dong Xuebin's breath tightened.
Isn’t this costing my brother’s life
Luo Haiting paused and began to take off her skirt again. The panties under the stockings and pantyhose were also clearly visible. She acted very casually.
Dong Xuebin was so confused that he kept vomiting.
"Is it really good?" Dong Xuebin asked.
Luo Haiting looked at him, "Sister, it doesn't matter."
Dong Xuebin gritted his teeth and began to take off his shirt.
But at this moment, the courtyard door suddenly rang, and then a footsteps came in. "Xuebin? Xuebin? Are you there?"
It turned out to be the voice of my mother, Luan Xiaoping!
Dong Xuebin was stunned. Why is his mother here? ? (To be continued.)
