Chapter 159 driving home

Jiang Baichuan took a sip of hot tea and told his son about another matter, "Chu heng, half a month ago, your mother and I met Gao Xuan's parents and discussed their marriage. Their family wanted to have a banquet earlier, but your sister said that her company would be very busy in the first half of the year, and they finally set the wedding date for late july."

Jiang Chuheng just came back yesterday. He really didn't know about this big thing. He counted the time and smiled, "It's just right. I was at home then."

"Well, that's what we thought, so we agreed." It happened to be during the summer vacation. All the children who were studying outside had returned. It was best for the whole family to go to the wedding together.

"Where does my sister and brother-in-law live after they get married?"

Jiang Baichuan smiled and said, "Gao Xuan used to live in a welfare house at work. Now that he's getting married, he bought a big apartment in the lakeside garden. Now he's renovating it. When he gets married, he can live in it."

Jiang Chuheng knew about the lakeside garden, which was a relatively quiet and elegant high-end residential area in the capital. Most of the people living there were overseas returnees. They were about half an hour's drive away from the military compound. It was not far or near, so it was convenient for them to go back and forth in the future.

"Will his parents come and live here in the future?" Jiang Chuheng asked with concern.

Jiang Baichuan shook his head, "When they met with their parents that day, the old couple told them about it. They won't come and live here often in the future unless they need help with the children. Gao Xuan's family is two sons and one daughter, and Gao Xuan is the youngest. His elder brother teaches at a high school in their local county. His sister-in-law is a doctor. His second sister and his second brother-in-law work at the county civil affairs bureau. The two of them are now retired and are helping his elder brother take care of his children in the county."

"Yes." Jiang Chuheng only saw Gao Xuan's parents once, but he didn't know that he had a brother and sister at home, but it didn't affect their marriage.

Jiang Baichuan smiled and said, "Your sister and Gao Xuan are coming over for dinner tonight. Your sister loves your chili fish head. Your mother and Auntie wu are going to buy some food. You can show up later tonight."

He rarely came back, and every time he came back, he asked him to cook this dish. Jiang Chuheng was particularly helpless. "Dad, this dish is very simple. It has no technical content. Auntie wu and mom can cook it. Xiao man can cook it too. Why must I do it?"

"They've done it several times, but it's not as good as you." Jiang Baichuan said happily.

Chu Xiaoman covered his mouth and ate with a smile. Brother Four was a person who didn't like to go into the kitchen. Every year, he went into the kitchen with one hand. Now that he had a good dish, everyone always took the opportunity to squeeze him.

Jiang Chuheng reluctantly agreed, thinking that this must be the last time this year in the kitchen. But he didn't expect that after Li Haitang's big package arrived, he had to go into the kitchen again.

It snowed heavily for three days in a row in tan city, and the roads in many places froze. The phone numbers in the wholesale department were also blown up. The merchants in other cities called several times a day to rush the goods, and Li Haitang had to reply one by one. There was no way to deliver goods in this weather. The transport company's convoy would not dare to leave even if it cost more money. If it only snowed and the car drove slower, they would be willing to take the order. But now it was freezing, the road was slippery, and it was easy for traffic accidents to happen. They all wanted to wait for the ice to melt before they left.

It was not until the new year that the weather turned slightly sunny, and the thin ice on the road began to melt. The transportation company's car tires were tied with iron chains to prepare for delivery, and they earned a large sum of money a year ago.

The workers who had rested in the shop for a few days were in high spirits. Li Yongchun and Li Rong, who had already sold out their goods, joined in to help. As the new year's eve was approaching, they worked overtime every day until more than nine o' clock in the evening these days. Everyone went to bed after supper and went back to work early the next morning. They all wanted to finish their work early and go home for the new year.

On the 27th night of the twelfth lunar month, Li Haitang invited all the employees of the two wholesale departments to a big restaurant on the riverside for new year's eve dinner and opened six tables. Xia Lin also came over that night.

After dinner, the two small bosses gave all the employees a hundred-dollar red envelope, even the new employees who had just come to the store less than a month ago. Li Yongchun and Li Rong also helped with a chinese new year red packet, but she only meaningfully wrapped a 28. 8 auspicious number red packet.

Wang Yao and Duan Meifang's deputy food factory also had the same day off as them. On the morning of the 28th of the december, two trucks returned home with more than 20 people.

Some of the employees were from tan city, such as Uncle liu and the other five whom he introduced. Li Jianguo sent them to a place closer to home and then continued to drive back to Ping shan town. Half of the other dozen people were from the village, and the rest were acquaintances from other villages near Ping shan town. They just happened to be on their way back.

Li Haitang and Li Rong were sitting in the back of the car, outside there was a thick cloth to cover the wind, they were all wearing thick cotton clothes, hats, scarves and gloves were all on, and they didn't feel cold.

"It's great to drive home on your own. You don't have to waste time waiting for a bus to change." Li Rong could have gone home a long time ago, but he still helped out in the store for a few days and hitched a ride home with them.

"That's true. It's much more convenient for us to drive by ourselves. We can leave early in the morning and make it to lunch without any accidents. If you change trains all the way, you can't get to town until 2: 00 pm at the fastest. It's almost 3: 00 pm." Li Yongchun sat in the corner. The light in the car was not enough, but his eyes were exceptionally bright.

Li Haitang sat next to him and looked at Li Rong on the other side and asked, "Brother Rongzi, will brother yong and sister-in-law come back for the new year?"

"No, they said the factory was doing very well this year. They had to work overtime for the new year, but they went back in october and stayed at home for ten days."

Li Haitang took out the kettle he had with him, drank a mouthful of warm water, and moistened his throat. "It's really not easy for them to come back. They're going around in circles and people are going to faint."

"That's right. My aunt's cousin also went to work in the shoe factory with my brother and sister-in-law. She got carsick so badly that it really took her half her life to come back every year. She had to lie in bed for two days every time to recover." Li Rong shuddered at the thought of her cousin getting carsick. It was really scary.

Li Haitang also heard aunt er zhu say, smiled helplessly, and said to him, "If carsickness is very serious, you can go to the doctor to prescribe some medicine and prepare it. Take it half an hour before you get on the car, bring some orange essential oil and so on. It can relieve a lot."

"Okay, I'll talk to her again when I see her this new year." Li Rong inexplicably believed what she said.

She was talking all the way to Ping shan town just before lunch.

After shaking for half a day, the bones were almost falling apart. Li Haitang got out of the car to relax his muscles. Just after two movements, two joyful voices came over, "Sister hoi tong, you're finally back."

Li Haitang turned around and smiled, "Li Tao, jin qiao, are you in town today?"

"Yes, we're here with aunt fen to buy some new year's goods. We'll wait for you here." Li Tao smiled, then greeted the others, left her behind, and happily walked around the car.

Li Jianguo came down from the driver's seat and saw his son running over. He pulled the corners of his mouth, "Taoer, have you bought the new year's goods?"

"Yes, I've bought it. Aunt Fen has put it in her aunt's shop."

Li Jianguo said to him, "Help me carry the food to the car. It's getting late. Everyone is hungry. We have to go back for lunch."

"Second aunt and Third aunt are cooking at home, waiting for us to go back for dinner." After Li Tao finished speaking, she spread her legs and went to pick up the things in Liu Fen's hand.

Li Jianguo saw that Li Jianhong had helped bring it over and strode over. "Jianhong, how's business in your shop?"

"Big brother, business is good, much better than in Yutian town. Chunmei is back too. Fortunately, the two of them have been helping me these days. Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to do it." Li Jianhong handed him all the big and small bags.

Li Jianguo looked at her shop and saw two nieces waving at him, and there were guests in the shop who were choosing clothes. Knowing that they were inseparable, he said, "You have business here. Don't go back at noon. Bring Chunmei and Chunxing home for dinner at night. I'll pick you up at six o' clock."

Li jianhong smiled and nodded, "Okay, it's not easy to walk on the road. Drive slowly."

"Yes." Li Jianguo answered, took the things that Liu Fen was carrying and put them in the back of the car.

Li Haitang stood there in a daze. At first glance, she really didn't recognize Li Jianhong. She used to be 150 pounds fat, but now she has lost at least 30 pounds. Even her appearance has changed greatly.

"Sister hoi tong, why are you standing there? This is my aunt." Li Tao pushed her down. Of course, he knew what she was surprised at. That was the same expression when sister chunmei came back.

Li Haitang glared at him and smiled awkwardly at Li Jianhong. She still didn't say "Aunt."

Li Jianhong was stunned when she saw her. She looked just like Li Xiaoqin, but she was taller and dressed more fashionably than her own mother. She hadn't seen Li Haitang for more than two years, and the change was too great. It was completely different from the skinny bean sprout.

"Haitang, you and your aunt Fen, jin qiao and tao er sit in the front." Li Jianguo started the car and shouted at the back.

Li Haitang responded and dragged the quiet little girl Duan Jinqiao to the front. After everyone got on board, the truck continued to move against the north wind.
