Zhang Yanhui went to work after dinner. It is very close to his work from here, just cross the overpass and turn a corner.

Zhang Yanming and Zhang Yanjun helped their mother pack the goods and prepare to open the store. The little girl hugged the cow and followed them to make trouble. Father Zhang stood at the door and looked at the sky.

Before nine o'clock, Li Wulan got off the bus carrying a cloth bag.

Mrs. Mou saw it and waved her hand: "Your father-in-law and mother-in-law have moved down, do you know?"

Li Wulan blushed: "Why are the parents-in-law missing?"

"That's not fast. Er Ming is a very good person and can be relied on. Do you have any other ideas?"

"What did you say, sister-in-law?"

"I'm still in a hurry, forget it and go back quickly. Have you eaten yet?"

"No, I just got off work." Li Wulan picked up her hair and walked over.

"Why don't you wear gloves? Aren't your hands cold?" Zhang Ma asked at a glance when she saw Li Wulan carrying a cloth bag with both bare hands.

"Just for a moment, it's not cold in the car." Li Wulan said hello to Zhang's mother and Zhang's father, and said hello to Zhang Yanjun.

"Aunt Lan, where have you been? There has been no sign of anyone for several days." Zhang Xiaoyue raised her little face and greeted Li Wulan.

"I'm just going to work. I'm not allowed to go to work to make money."

"Oh, how many days will it take you to go to work?"

"Two days." Li Wulan handed the bag to Zhang Yanming.

"That's right. Let's eat. It's still hot. Go to the kitchen and eat. It's just been cleaned up here." Zhang Yanming took the bag.

"It's pretty good this way. I thought it would be quite crowded." Li Wulan opened the door and glanced into the living room, looking around.

Niu Niu stood in the middle of the ground and tilted his head to look at Li Wulan. He was probably analyzing whether he had seen this person before. He ran over wagging his tail.

"We should have done this a long time ago. You said you had to change two pairs of shoes when you go from the kitchen to the dining table. Isn't it a hassle?"

"Isn't that right? I find this troublesome." Zhang Ma smiled and answered, "Go and eat quickly, and we'll talk after you finish eating."

After entering the kitchen, Li Wulan saw that no one was paying attention, so she kissed Zhang Yanming on the face: "Did you miss me?"

Zhang Yanming went to bring her food with an expressionless expression.

"Which house are we staying in?" Li Wulan asked in a low voice.

"It's still in there, my mother won't go in."

Li Wulan nodded, pulled a chair over and sat down, feeling relieved. The wooden house outside must not have brick walls to insulate it, so how can you live there? Do you want to show off your personality?

"Where's your brother?"

"It's time to go to work. I haven't been gone for a while. Just forget about your job, it's not interesting. Come and learn how to bake and bake cakes with my brother, my mother, and let my mother pay you a salary."

The pipe factory has actually stopped production, and the large collective enterprises are having a hard time now. In the past few years, they have been unable to make ends meet, and they have been disbanded in droves. The job here is just a temporary support, and there is no telling when the salary will be paid. Can't send it out.

"So all my previous working experience was in vain? It's been more than ten years."

"That's of no use. It's not all people. Now that the collective has been disbanded, we don't even get subsidies. What can we do with our seniority?"

"What about the future? What will you do when you get old and retire?"

"You are still thinking very long-term. Can your factory continue to be in this state until you retire? Or will it still provide you with a pension when you get old? Will those of you who don't work still have money to pay?"

"That's not true. We only get 80% for working people."

"That's alright. Why do you worry so much about suffering this? It's not like there's no other way."

"Then, I just don't want to go? Why don't I wait until the salary is paid this month?"

Zhang Yanming glanced at her: "You can do whatever you want, that's what I said, do whatever you want."

Li Wulan looked at Zhang Yanming: "Then I won't go. I'll call Du Ruhui later."

"That's not what I meant." Zhang Yanming explained: "It really doesn't matter. If you want to get it, you can get it. I just feel that sooner or later this job will be bad, and it's too hard to run up and down."

"Aunt Lan, dad made me jelly yesterday. Look, it's so beautiful." Zhang Xiaoyue ran over holding a jelly to show off.

"Yeah, it looks good. Why is it square?"

"The molds are square. I only have a few ice molds at home. I'll buy some later, special ones."

"I don't want it. I want it to be square. No one else has it." The little girl was not happy yet. The jelly sold in the market is all round, she knows.

"They all look good. You'll know when I get them back. Then daddy will make you something better-looking and delicious."

"Okay. Dad, just now, just now, Niu Niu secretly ate a piece of jelly."

Zhang Yanming laughed: "You feed it secretly, cows don't steal. Dad told you, there is milk and chocolate here. Dogs will die if they eat it, do you understand? We eat delicious food, and it eats it." It’s just poison. Dogs are different from people.”

"Ah?" The little girl was stunned and looked at Zhang Yanming. Tears welled up in her eyes: "I don't want you to die."

"No, just eat one and it'll be fine." Zhang Yanming picked up the little girl and said, "But you can't feed it anymore. You have to ask your father and grandma if you feed it in the future. Do you understand? Stop crying."

"What if Niuniu dies?" The little girl looked at Zhang Yanming with tears in her eyes, her mouth pursed.

"No, a jelly is so small, it's okay. If you eat too much, you'll be dead."

"Yes, are you lying to me?"

"No, daddy doesn't lie to babies."

"Will dogs really die if they eat chocolate?" Li Wulan asked in surprise.

Zhang Yanming nodded: "Dogs cannot eat milk or chocolate. Milk will cause diarrhea. Chocolate will cause the cerebral blood vessels to expand and the eyes to bulge."

When Li Wulan finished eating, she quickly cleaned up and washed up without Zhang Yanming's help: "Are you busy today?"

Zhang Yanming said: "You can talk to my mother later and help her sell things. I guess there won't be anyone here on the first day today. I'm going to the street to make a sign, and then I'll go to the carousel to find some materials. At the door. It needs to be changed."

"Where's me, dad?" Zhang Xiaoyue asked, blinking her big eyes.

"You, you can do whatever you want. If you want to be at home with grandma, you can stay at home. If you want to go with dad, you can go."

"Then I want to go with you."

"Okay, I'll take you with me later." Zhang Yanming looked at the time: "I'll go to school first and pick you up later."

The little girl waved goodbye to Zhang Yanming. Zhang Yanming smiled: "I'm still holding you. Where will you meet me again?"

The little girl giggled, leaning forward and back.

Children's happiness comes quickly and sadness comes quickly. As expected, the simpler they are, the happier they are.

After handing Zhang Xiaoyue to Zhang's mother, Zhang Yanming and Zhang Yanjun went out to school.
