After An Ning saw Ruan Ping away, the director of the logistics department called him to write New Year's slogans.

It’s the Chinese New Year, and some factories are on holiday, but steel plants are not on holiday. Workers are resting in shifts. The workers work very hard, so the factories give benefits and do some publicity work.

An Ning was asked to write some slogans that encouraged everyone to work hard and put them in the workshop, and also draw some bulletin boards and other words.

Today, the weather is cold outside, so you have to write slogans, graphic boards and newspapers outside, and it will take a long time. An Ning must do a good job of keeping warm.

She wore a thick cotton coat inside, a military coat outside, put on the labor protection thick cotton shoes distributed by the factory, and a hat. Then she went out in the cold wind.

She sent the logistics department and wrote the slogan first. The young man from the logistics department took it to the workshop to post it.

An Ning went to the drawing boards everywhere again.

In the next few days, An Ning spent the next few days in the painting factory's newspaper. In addition to the painting factory, she wrote two articles about the steel factory's large-scale production and the unity and cooperation among workers and submitted them to the newspaper.

I waited until the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month before peace could return home.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the director of the logistics department gave An Ning some candy and some cloth tickets, and also paid her a little salary to let her return home in a glorious manner.

Xiao Yuan has been staying in the county town these days.

Although his relationship has not yet entered the transportation brigade, he has always lived in the transportation brigade.

The main reason is that there are a lot of transportation tasks during the Chinese New Year, and the transportation brigade is not enough, so Xiao Yuan came to help.

He followed him for a few short distances and understood some transportation routes. After spring began, he could even run short distances by himself.

On the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, Xiao Yuan told Captain Ren that he would go home for the New Year. Captain Ren felt that Xiao Yuan had done a lot of things, so he also gave Xiao Yuan some benefits. Of course, he also gave Xiao Yuan ten yuan.

To be honest, Xiao Yuan’s short journey is not just about finding out the route, but the most important thing is that he can make money.

This short distance is not just about running in the county, but about running to some nearby counties and cities. It can be called back and forth in one or two days. For these drivers, it is a short distance, and the long distance is far away. Sometimes they can't get home for many days.

Nowadays, transportation is underdeveloped, and it is difficult for counties to interact with each other and exchange supplies.

In addition, during the Chinese New Year, people in the city and village urgently need supplies. If they can get supplies, they can really make money.

Xiao Yuan got this right. Before, the sports car had collected some things in the village and brought them with him when he arrived. When he arrived, he changed things that were more famous in the local area and were in urgent need of other places. Some of them changed things when they came back, and some were sold for money.

After going around like this, he really made money after running a few trains.

It can be said that Xiao Yuan also returned home with a full load.

He brought things to the steel factory to find An Ning to go back together.

The two of them walked back with a big pocket on their backs.

While walking on the road, An Ning looked at Xiao Yuan and said to him.

Xiao Yuan also followed suit.

Both of them have never been like this for many years. They feel like they are escaping, but it is quite interesting. When you look at me and I look at you, you are so happy that your eyebrows are curved, and you are quite excited to make you happy in pain.

After walking for a while, Xiao Yuan carried both of their bags behind him. He grabbed the straps of the bags with one hand and held An Ning's hand with the other.

In this cold day, there was no one on the road, so An Ning let Xiao Yuan hold his hands and walk back slowly.

The two arrived at Huishui Village first.

Xiao Yuan sent An Ning home.

As soon as they entered the house, the two of them smelled the boiled meat.

Dong Huandi came out of the kitchen as she heard the movement and was amused when she saw An Ning and Xiao Yuan: "It's considered that she's back. Hurry up and warm the house for a while. I just cooked meat and I'll make meat for you two later. Yuanzi will have dinner at home today, so let's make dumplings."

Xiao Yuan and An Ning entered the house, and he talked to Ruan Ping as soon as he entered the door.

Ruan Ping pointed to the edge of the kang: "Sit down, let's have two drinks later."

Xiao Yuan nodded with a smile. He put down the bag, took out a little can from his bag, and handed it to Ruan Ping: "This is what I changed when I left the car. You can smoke it first, and I will look for you after I'm free."

When Ruan Ping saw Yan, his face improved a lot.

At this time, Dong Huandi brought the meat into the house.

Xiao Yuan helped to put down the kang table, and he and Ruan Ping sat cross-legged and ate the big meat.

An Ning also brought the chopsticks to eat a few pieces of meat.

After eating the meat, she drank some hot water and then got up to make dumplings with Dong Huandi.

The dumpling noodles were mixed before and the filling was already mixed. The two of them wrapped them very quickly and they were packed in a short while.

An Ning asked Dong Huandi while boiling water and boiling dumplings: "Where is my brother and the others?"

Dong Huandi curled her lips: "Before, someone who used a pot and a stove, had a fight with me, and your father got angry when he came back."

"Hurried out?" An Ning frowned: "Where do they live now?"

Dong Huandi pointed to the location of the animal circle: "Isn't there a house built by our brigade there? No one lives there this New Year, so your two brothers will move over first and then move it out after the spring is built."

An Ning knew that the two brothers had a place to live, so she didn't ask again.

She and Dong Huandi cooked the dumplings and brought them into the house. Four of them sat around to eat the dumplings.

Ruan Ping also took the wine and drank a few cups of Xiao Yuan. After eating and drinking, Xiao Yuan got up and said goodbye.

Before leaving, Dong Huandi packed something for Xiao Yuan, including a pair of cotton shoes, two bone sticks, a piece of cooked pig ears and a little pork head meat.

"I know the situation of your family. I think there is not much meat when I come to the New Year. I will take this home to satisfy my cravings. I made these shoes. Please try to fit them."

Xiao Yuan was stunned for a moment.

He didn't expect his mother-in-law to make shoes for him, and he suddenly felt that his mother-in-law was pretty good, at least kind-hearted.

He took the shoes and thanked them, and tried it on his feet, which was just right in size.

Xiao Yuan looked up and smiled, "It's just right, I feel comfortable wearing it."

Dong Huandi breathed a sigh of relief: "Just fit your feet, just wear them back. These shoes are thick and don't wear them."

"Okay." Xiao Yuan agreed.

The shoes on his feet were really torn, and he was wearing them so cold feet.

After taking the things, Xiao Yuan carried a cloth bag back to Beigang Village.

In Beigang Village, Xiao Zhuzi and Jin Sanniang have been looking forward to Xiao Yuan’s return.

When Xiao Yuan arrived home, the two of them quickly burned the kang and Jin Sanniang was cooking again.

Xiao Yuan said that he had just returned after having dinner at Ruan's house, and said that his mother-in-law had made dumplings for him, and asked Jin Sanniang to see the shoes he was wearing.

Jin Sanniang was quite happy to see it.

She thought to herself that this marriage was done right.

Apart from Dong Huandi, no mother-in-law can do this. After all, she is a biological child, which is incomparable.

"In the future, you will be more filial to your mother-in-law and mother-in-law." Jin Sanniang reminded him.

"I understand." Xiao Yuan agreed, while pulling out something.

In previous years, when the Xiao family celebrated the New Year, they were experiencing difficulties. Xiao Zhuzi and his wife couldn't sleep all night. This year was different. Although the production team assigned food, their son was promising. Now, it was the New Year and he could get things home.

Looking at the peanuts, sugar, flour, oil and so on that Xiao Yuan took out, Dong Huandi couldn't help but be happy: "Save this side, make dumplings on the first day of the New Year, and make another dumpling when your sister comes back on the second day of the New Year. After so many years, your sister and the others have never eaten enough to go back to their parents' home."

Xiao Yuan took out the big bone stick: "I'll stew this tomorrow, and we'll have a full meal tonight."

Jin Sanniang happily put the things together. At night, she kept telling Xiao Zhuzi that her son had a bright future and that a good life would come.

But Xiao Yuan knew that this good day might come very slowly.

After all, in the next three years, I am afraid that no one’s life will be easy.

He thought about how to find a way to get some food when spring is coming, and at least he had to spend the next three years.
