  Fortunately, Xu Shaonian quickly changed the subject.

He picked up the dish on the table and looked at it, and asked, "Can I still order now?"

"What kind of food? You and Xiao An haven't eaten yet?" Ning Xin reacted.

She quickly stood up: "Don't order, the dishes are not complete right now, I'll go to the kitchen to see what I can bring you some to eat. Where is Xiaoan ?"

"She and my mother went to take a bath."

Ning Xin Nodded.

Their sanatorium is newly built, and the supporting facilities in it are very comprehensive.

There is heating in winter, fans in summer, and a small boiler room to ensure the supply of heating and boiling water.

Although it is currently impossible to have a bathroom in every room, there is a bathhouse in good condition downstairs. There is hot water and heating, and it is open for men and women according to time.

Such conditions cannot be met even in the house rented by the Xu family.

So Ning Xin was not surprised when she heard that Xu's mother took Xiao An to take a bath.

Ning Xin asked Xu Shaonian to sit here and wait. She went to the kitchen to help them find food.

After a while, I personally brought a tray with a plate of fried pork, a plate of green pepper and potato shreds, a bowl of rice and a white porcelain stew pot.

"Xiao'an's I was sent to my uncle and aunt's room. It was too cold, she just stopped running around after taking a shower, her hair was wet and the wind blew again." Ning Xin looked at Xu Shaonian staring at the tray and explained. .

Xu Shaonian nodded, then took the tray and put it on the table, and uncovered the lid of the stew cup.

"Stewed Sydney?"

"Well, there is also tangerine peel in it. It tastes good, you should like it."

Xu Shaonian likes to eat sweets, and Ning Xin noticed it the first time he had a meal at home. So as long as there is a chance, she will specially prepare a sweet treat for him, which is not difficult for her anyway.

Xu Shaonian began to eat, and Ning Xin sat down again next to him.

She did not go to sort out her documents, but asked what she had been holding back for a day: "What did you and my brother talk about in the house that day? Just last week, didn't you talk in the house for a long time?"

Xu Shaonian raised his head: "What's the matter?"

"My brother ran away without saying hello last night."

Speaking of this, Ning Xin is still a little dull.

After telling Xu Shaonian what happened, she still couldn't hold back, and asked: "How do I think this matter has something to do with you talking the other day? Did you discuss something?"

Xu Shaonian put down the chopsticks in her hand. He thought for a while, and really nodded: "Maybe it does have something to do."

"What?!" Although Ning Xin had this idea in her heart, she was still very surprised after this person really admitted it.

"The other day, I asked Brother Yi if I should consider learning how to drive? The city transportation company is hiring people. I have a relationship to use. If he wants, he can find a way to arrange him as a temporary worker. Wait. After the driver's license test is taken, it's okay to turn into a regular driver."

"What about?"

"Then Brother Yi said let him think about it." The

transportation company is a good unit. Especially in this era of underdeveloped logistics, people who can drive a car to go north and south are respected and envied.

My brother's food business is not easy to do. Riding a bicycle every day, one pedal is a day. Not to mention, the key is that no money was made at all.

Ning Xin knew that Xu Shaonian must also understand this to introduce such a good job to her brother.

Let Ning Xin say that this job is much better than what her brother is doing now, so I won't talk about stability. The key is to be able to learn technology.

The family doesn't expect him to make money to support the family. He has been working in the transportation team for a few years steadily, practising good driving skills, and having some long-distance running experience, even if he comes from Ligate!

Why didn't brother even mention such a good thing to the family?

"Brother Yi did not refuse. He should have his own ideas when he is going to Jincheng with your uncle now. Don't worry, you will know when he comes back to ask." Seeing Ning Xin's dissatisfaction with Ning Yi's concealment, Xu Shaonian comforted. .

Now that everyone has run away, it's useless to say anything, so I can only do this first.

Ning Xin originally thought that her brother would come back after a few days in Jincheng, but who knows, Ning Yi's journey lasted almost two months.

Seeing that the eighty year was about to pass, and the New Year's Day of 1981 was approaching, no one was seen except for a letter of peace from him with almost no content.

On the contrary, it is because the Xu family's parents are now living in the nursing home, and Xu Shaonian and Xiaoan are almost going to take over here.

In fact, it is understandable when you think about it.

Xu Shaonian was not good at cooking before, except for rubbing in the Ning's house, he either fooled or counted on Xiao An.

But Xiao An is now in school, and is about to take the high school entrance examination. No one in the family will let the children cook at this time.

What's more, her school is still a key middle school in Xinnan, and she has a tight grasp on her studies.

It was 6 o'clock in the afternoon to get home from school, and Xiao An didn't have time to buy vegetables and cook.

What's more, parents are at home, and there is no reason to let Xiaoan cook.

So coming to the nursing home for a meal has become almost normal.

The Xu family's parents found Ning Xin early and insisted on making up for the food for the children. To reassure them, Ning Xin did not refuse.

So the Xu family brothers and sisters came to be justified, and they stayed here for a while.

Ning Yi still didn't come back this New Year's Day.

Not only him, Chen Zhigang also did not come back to visit his wife and daughter.

Fortunately, they finally learned to write a good letter to the family to explain the situation.

It turned out that after Xu Shaonian told Ning Yi last time about the recruitment of the transportation company, Ning Yi was moved.

He has traveled north and south for almost a year, and it is not without his own ideas and insights.

He agreed with Xu Shaonian's words and felt that learning to drive is indeed very useful.

But he didn't want to go to a transportation company as a temporary worker.

Ning Yi knew what was going on with the temporary worker. In fact, it was a small worker who was an assistant to the old drivers.

It stands to reason that this is not a bad thing, it is definitely safer to be taught by a master.

But-too time-consuming.

It takes at least two to three years for an average small worker to get started to get started, and then it will take several years from getting started to being able to work on their own.

Ning Yi will really be 26 years old after the new year. Let him start as a small worker, and then spend a few years working on it. Maybe he won't be able to touch the steering wheel when he reaches his 30s.

Such a life is not what he wants.

This is why he has been hesitant.

The return of Chen Zhigang opened up a new way of thinking for Ning Yi.

Chen Zhigang said that the team he is currently in is a private team, and the owner is a person with the skills and ability in Beijing.

Some of the cars in the fleet are bought by the boss and hired to drive them, and some are owned by private car owners who bring their own cars.

Their team is also hiring, but there are not so many turns.

When you first go there, you don't have the skills to be an assistant to the old driver, doing chores in the parking lot, and you don't pay a penny except for your stuttering.

However, the team will ask the old drivers to teach these newcomers as quickly as possible.

After you get a driver's license, you can go out with the old driver.

Although the salary is still not high at this time, it is much better than just stuttering. And if you can take your own role and be recognized that you can get out of the car by yourself, the benefits will be improved qualitatively.

Such a good thing does not have to be thought of elsewhere, it is simply someone rushing to teach you skills and promote you to become a talent.

But in Jincheng, the transportation business is so profitable that there are not enough cars and drivers.

Cars can be bought with money, and drivers can't recruit so many if they don't train themselves, so it's so appropriate.

Chen Zhigang just caught up with this trip.

He has been away from home for half a year, and now he has not only got his driver's license, but also joined the transportation team with Faxiao.

Before, he and his wife lived frugally, and could not wait to save more than 100 yuan in more than ten years. In the end, they were all taken over by his mother and his brother.

And now, he and Fa Xiao, whoever ran with the car, made more than one hundred, two hundred.

Therefore, after hearing that Ning Yi had encountered a bottleneck in his business, Chen Zhigang made suggestions to him.

For Ning Yi at this time, this suggestion was simply a doze and gave him a pillow.

Ning Yi said in the letter that he has now obtained his driver's license, and now he wants to take advantage of the highest demand for coal in various places before the holiday, and run a few more trips with the masters to practice more skills. So I won't go home before the Spring Festival.

However, he promised to come back during the New Year, not only to come back, but also to bring gifts to his family.

"What gift is not a gift, let him come back quickly! I don't want anything!" After hearing the grandson's letter, the old lady quit.

But she also knew that no one could contact Ning Yi at the moment, and he should have left the car just as he said.

Thinking of her grandson not going home even after New Year's Day, the old lady was so angry that she had nowhere to vent.

He muttered to himself and scolded his grandson and went straight back to the house to sulking.

In fact, Ning Xin didn't want her brother to stay there for a long time.

Grandma is getting older and now lives with them again. In the heart of the old lady, the grandson is the pillar of the family. In this case, my brother is really not suitable for staying in the field for a long time.

Moreover, Ning Xin felt that his uncle's thoughts and plans were based on the premise that he himself had no savings.

So it must be the right way to save money while working for others.

But my family does not lack this money.

In fact, my uncle didn't communicate well with my sister-in-law and Ning Xin felt that even my uncle didn't need to be so "curving to save the country."

Apart from other things, she has paid 1,000 yuan a month for her aunt and cousin now, and the Chinese New Year is about to come, and the commission they can get will be even higher when it comes.

If my uncle is really determined to buy a car and run for transportation, at the current price of about three to four thousand yuan for a truck, the sisters will not be unable to pay for the car.

And my brother doesn't have to worry about it. You have to know the name of Ning Yi that she applied for the license at the store and her passbook.

If your elder brother really wants to engage in transportation, he can buy a car by himself or work with his uncle.

There is no need to waste time in other people's fleets.

It's just that these are just Ning Xin's own thoughts, and what to do in the end, the big idea must be taken by Ning Yi himself. Therefore, Ning Xin did not talk to her family too much, but waited patiently for her brother to come back like a grandmother.

But what she didn't expect was that her brother didn't wait to come back, but made her wait for a big thunderstorm.

It was a day at the end of January, and the Chinese New Year would be coming in a few days. Ning Xin did not go to the store that day, but cleaned at home with her grandma.

While cleaning, the two of them were chattering. They discussed giving employees a vacation in the past two days and asked them to go home with their salaries to celebrate the New Year.

"In addition to money, prepare some gifts for the children, whether it is meat or noodles. It is not easy for the children to go out, and this money cannot be saved." The

old lady told her granddaughter.

"I know, I greeted the purchase early. Each waiter will be paid an extra month's salary at the end of the month, and then each will be given a catty of meat, half a catty of oil, and 20 buns. Don't worry, grandma. The benefits here, I dare say, the entire Xinnan City is the first one!" The

old lady nodded in satisfaction, and at the same time did not forget to refute her granddaughter: "Then we are still the busiest restaurant in Xinnan. The children have been working hard."

Since Mrs. Ning followed her daughter, and her granddaughter helped out at the snack shop every day, she now feels distressed for the waiters. After all, she can see clearly how tired her daughter and grandson are every day.

Therefore, helping the employees hired at home to fight for welfare at any time has become an obsession with Mrs. Ning. It's like Ning Xin's previous record of deducting employee benefits.

For this reason, even though Ning Xin was speechless, she was helpless with her grandma.

Regardless of whether it is a snack shop or a medicated food room, the salary of employees has increased linearly under the persistent request of the old lady.

The consequence of this is that you no longer have to post job postings at the door!

Whenever I heard that the Ning's store was short of people, those who came to sign up couldn't wait to squeeze the threshold.

After talking about the employees, Ning Xin talked about her sister-in-law again: "Grandma, sister-in-law, they spend the Chinese New Year in our house, right?"

"That's for sure. Didn't your uncle say that he would come back with your brother? Except for our family. , Where else can she go?"

"I mean," Ning Xin gritted her teeth and said, "I mean, will you and sister-in-

law go back to your hometown during the New Year?" The injuries were not that serious, so she was only sentenced for half a year, and now she was released and returned home.

And her daughter Ning Ling was detained for fifteen days before being released.

But this incident still frightened them, so that they didn't make any trouble again afterwards.

The old lady stayed in the city because Ning Xin was injured and Ning Yi could not cook. She wanted to stay to take care of her granddaughter. But this care has been taken care of for more than half a year.

In the countryside, when the two sons of the Ning family are still at home, the old lady staying with the grandson and the granddaughter will actually be laughed at. What's more, her eldest son, Ning Chengyou, is still the production team leader and the leader of the village.

In the past six months, Ning Cheng has repeatedly asked her to bring her mother home, and in the meantime, he personally came and invited several times. But how can the old lady feel relieved to leave Ning Xin herself to face all those things?

At first, she was worried about helping her granddaughter sell herbal tea at a stand, and later she was worried about helping her daughter open a snack bar, so she firmly disagreed with the matter of going home.

Even if the son and daughter-in-law came to invite several times in person, the son still cried in front of her, but she did not let go.

But now--this is about the New Year, and there is also a sacrifice to the ancestors, and the burning of paper for the dead man...

If this is not going back, obviously it is not just a problem that is difficult for her son and daughter-in-law, but she also has to worry about it in her heart. .

Seeing her grandmother hesitate, Ning Xin quickly said: "Milk, when my brother comes back, let him ride the three-wheeler at home to send you back first. When we are in the second grade, we will go back with my sister-in-

law's family." Hearing the granddaughter say so , Mrs. Ning was immediately overjoyed.

Another reason for her unwillingness to go home is that she doesn't want to make her granddaughter feel wronged.

She knew that the second family really made Ning Xin chill.

The family has not been separated yet. The eldest and second child still live in the same yard. If she goes back, she will be the mother of the second child and can't ignore it.

Even if she ignores her second daughter-in-law, how about a bunch of grandchildren?

But she was also afraid that she would feel uncomfortable for her granddaughter to know if she didn't know her well.

In short, even though Mrs. Ning kept talking about going home for the New Year during this period, she was actually worried all the time in her heart.

Now I heard Ning Xin say that they are going back too, and they are immediately happy and don't know what to do.

"I sent your second uncle and his family to her mother's house early in the morning of the second day of the middle school, and promised not to let them stay at home. Xin, don't worry, you just have to go back and give your grandfather a kowtow, don't You don't care about anything. You don't want to stay at home, you will come back after kowtow."

"Okay." Seeing the old lady so happy, Ning Xin agreed, and sighed quietly in her heart.

She actually thought about it for two days. According to Ning Xin's original intention, she didn't want to have any intersection with those people in her hometown.

But grandma is still there, it would be hard for the old man if she didn't even go to the grave.

What's more, when the Chinese New Year is over, Father Ning must also go to worship.

Since you must go back, you should show your attitude and generously as soon as possible, and don't let the grandmother hold her heart, which will make the elderly feel uncomfortable.

The grandfather and grandson were talking, when the sound of opening the door suddenly sounded outside.

As the door was pushed wide open, Chen Jing's voice sounded outside: "Sister, grandma! Are you at home?"

The voice was panting and crying again.

Hearing it makes people tremble.

Ning Xin hurriedly ran out, held her cousin who was about to rush in, and asked, "What's the matter? What happened?"

And the old lady Ning also followed out: "What's wrong with Xiaojing? Something happened in the store? Or is there something wrong with your mother?" The old lady's voice trembled after speaking.

"It's okay in the store, and my mom is okay, it's my brother, my brother Xiaoyi..."

"What's wrong with my brother ?!" Ning Xin was immediately anxious!

Her brother is in a sports car right now, if there is something... Ning Xin didn't dare to think about it, just felt a buzz in her mind.

"It's not my Xiaoyi brother, yes, ah, it was my Xiaoyi brother's son who got it back!"

"What?!" Ning Xin and the old lady asked in shock at the same time.

The old lady even quickly grabbed the stone table next to her to stabilize her body.

"Xiaojing, what are you talking about? Where does my brother come from? He is not married yet!"

"Yes, my brother Xiaoyi gave birth to the daughter-in-law..."

Chen Jing said, and looked at the old lady. "Grandma, just the woman who divorced after a few days of marriage with my brother."

"Fart! Where does she have children! Where is she? Where, go, go, take me to see that turtle grandson! I haven't seen her yet. I've always wanted to see what that slut looks like and whether he has a face!"

...

Chen Jing is still talking to Mrs. Ning, but Ning Xin's mind seems to have passed. A lot of screens passed quickly like a movie.

Her body is like this, there is almost no memory before, even if it is a bit, it seems to be sealed by dust. Only when triggered by something, she will remember something.

And Chen Jing and Ning's words became a button that triggered her memory today.

In memory, Ning Yi returned home about four years ago, and when he came back he brought a female educated youth who went to the countryside with him.

At that time they were married and came back to visit relatives.

In Ning Xin's memory, Ning Yi's marriage to that woman was not entirely due to feelings, but rather a kind of helplessness.

The place where they jumped in was very difficult, and the house for the educated youth was very poor. Basically, apart from having a roof, it is no different from living in an open field.

At that time, other places might reject educated youth, but the village they went to was too poor, not only poor, but also very short of labor.

In order to retain these people, their village has made a policy that if the educated youth agree to get married locally and register in their village, then they can be given a small house.

Although the house is also a soil embryo house, at least it can shelter from wind and rain.

For this house, many educated youths were married locally, and a small number of people chose to marry locals or married girls from the village. But it is more that the educated youth digested and resolved themselves internally.

Except for the very young like Xu Shaonian, almost all the others are in pairs.

That's how Ning Yi married his wife. Although they were in the same city, they didn't know each other before they jumped in.

But in that case, being able to come from a place is a good match for a fellow villager, so after the woman took the initiative to find him and asked to marry him, Ning Yi agreed.

In any case, the son is married, and his wife is a local, and the two people have a common language, which is a very comforting matter for Ning's father.

At that time, even though it was not half of the time, Father Ning still prepared a lot of wedding candies, and divided them among neighbors in the neighborhood, workers, and relatives.

A large table of good dishes was also prepared to entertain the woman's family.

Not only that, but when the woman's family left, she brought back a generous gift.

At that time, the two families were getting along very happily. Father Ning was still thinking about how to get his son and daughter-in-law back.

He even had the idea of ​​retiring early.
