The heavens set sail from the courtyard

After the dumplings were brought to the table, no one talked anymore, because their mouths were all used to eat the dumplings, and they had no time to talk, including Wang Gang.

Han Mu made dumplings stuffed with cabbage and pork. To be honest, the taste was average to Wang Gang because there were too many vegetables and too little meat.

But Wang Gang still couldn't stop eating, because once he stopped, it would be gone.

These days, every household is not rich, and it is already very happy to eat a meal of meat once in a while. Dumplings are something that can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year.

That's why the people of the Han family don't look good when they eat. It's not an exaggeration to describe it as a wolf. Auntie and Meng Xiaoxing's eating is even worse. Their mouths are filled with dumplings, and they are still trying to stuff them.

"Safflower, eat slowly, and be careful of choking." Mother Han saw that the youngest Honghua, her cheeks were bulging with dumplings, and she couldn't breathe, so she set aside a few dumplings for her to eat slowly .

Four plates of dumplings, shared by nine people, each person can't share a few, if it is really slow, there will be nothing.

Wang Gang stopped after eating three or four, and asked Meng Xiaoxing and Honghua to eat a few more.

Mother Han noticed her youngest son's behavior and didn't say anything, but just put a dumpling for Wang Gang.

A meal of dumplings was finished in a few minutes. Except for the auntie, Meng Xiaoxing and Honghua, everyone else didn't enjoy eating to their heart's content. Mother Han brought some steamed buns with mixed noodles.

Wang Gang ate two steamed buns and drank a large bowl of dumpling soup before finally belching.

After the meal, Mother Han brought out some melon seeds and peanuts to entertain Meng Xiaoxing and Honghua, and everyone sat and chatted together.

"Xiao Wu, how is your job search going? It's been more than a month since you came back from the queue. Is there any news from the street?" Big Sister Han asked.

"I'm still waiting for the notice from the street." Wang Gang knocked on the melon seeds.

The eldest brother sighed, and said, "Now there are too many people coming back from the city every day, and there are only so many jobs, where can they be assigned, or else you can buy some gifts for Director Chen tomorrow."

The second sister nodded and said: "Brother, this idea is reliable, if you don't give some gifts, whoever will help you arrange work."

The second brother scrupulously said: "This is not good! What if someone reports it?"

Some people in the family were for it, some were against it, and in the end they all looked at the person involved, Wang Gang.

Wang Gang thought about it. It is indeed necessary to have a serious job in this era. There are still several years to go before opening, and these few years cannot always be supported by shopping.

"Uncle Cheng is also using his connections to help Cheng Jianjun find a job. I went to him before, and he promised to help me pay attention." Wang Gang said.

Brother Han said with a stern face: "I think it is better to ask yourself than to ask others. You are not Cheng Shu's son, so you can't just rely on him!"

Brother Han smiled and said, "Xiao Wu, I know that a construction site is hiring handymen, with food and housing included, and the wages are [-] cents a day. It's better than staying at home if you don't do it first."

The second sister Han spat on her second brother, and said, "Our fifth child is a junior high school graduate, so he can't go to the construction site to work hard."

Sister Han sighed and said, "Junior high school is nothing now, if only Xiao Wu was a high school student, it would not be difficult to find an easier job."

Brother Han said angrily: "At the beginning, he didn't study hard and read those miscellaneous books all day long, so he failed the high school entrance examination."

Of the five children in the Han family, Han Chunming was the smartest, and he was not bad at learning since he was a child. He was among the top three in the whole grade every year. Everyone in the Han family had hoped that he would go to high school in the future and have the opportunity to fight for university.

Although the current college entrance examination has stopped, the university has not closed. Many high schools in the capital have recommended places, but only those high school students with outstanding grades and clean backgrounds can be recommended to go to university.

Born as a worker in the Han family, there is no choice in his background. As long as Han Chunming studies well, he still has a good chance of going to college.

It's a pity that Han Chunming's grades plummeted in the third year of junior high school, which made Boss Han and the others very disappointed. Since then, their attitude towards him has also changed, only the second sister remains the same.

Through Han Chunming's memory, Wang Gang also knew the reason for his decline in grades.

After entering junior high school, Han Chunming came into contact with Uncle Guan at the entrance of the Hutong, and became fascinated by antiques and history. He read those miscellaneous books all day long and didn't pay attention to mathematics, physics and chemistry. It's no wonder his grades are good.

"I think we're going to make two-handed preparations. While we're waiting for Uncle Cheng's news, we're going to walk around with the director of the street office." Boss Han finally said.

The auntie listened for a long time, then turned her head to look at Meng Xiaoxing again, and said to Boss Han, "Boss, can you find a job for Xiaoxing too?"

Boss Han was stunned for a while.

"Auntie, didn't you hear what we said just now? Xiao Wu's work has not been resolved until now, how can we introduce work to Xiao Xing." Second Sister Han said with a wry smile.

The aunt was not reconciled, and said: "Xiao Xing may have suffered a lot, even if he is a temporary worker, as long as he has something to eat."

Sister Han explained: "Auntie, it's not that we don't want to help Xiaoxing. Now there are regulations that you must have an urban household registration, the street office, the district labor bureau, and the city labor bureau. Xiaoxing has a rural household registration. , can’t work in the city.”

The aunt sighed, unwilling to say: "Then find Xiao Xing a husband's house!"

The Han family were all overjoyed, just like Meng Xiaoxing, who would marry her if she had no talent or good looks!

What's more, people in the city don't even think about marrying a daughter-in-law in the countryside now, which is related to rationed food.

"I want to marry Brother Wu." Meng Xiaoxing spat out the melon seed shell and raised her hand to shout.

Wang Gang had a headache and said: "Didn't I tell you! We are close relatives and cannot get married."

Meng Xiaoxing snorted: "I asked Second Aunt, we have already made five clothes, we are not close relatives!"

Wang Gang couldn't help looking at Han Mu.

Mother Han lowered her head in embarrassment, not daring to look at her son.

"It's not okay to go out to the fifth server, we are not suitable!" Wang Gang said.

"Why?" Meng Xiaoxing said aggrievedly: "Could it be that you have other women in your heart, isn't that Su Meng!"

Wang Gang's eyes rolled, and he was about to admit it, but then he thought that Su Meng's woman was more troublesome, she couldn't be offended!

"Xiao Wu and Su Meng are impossible." Boss Han laughed.

The aunt became interested and asked, "Why is it impossible? I think Zhou Zheng, who is grown by Su Meng, is also good to our little five."

Boss Han said: "The people who live in this compound don't know each other. Everyone knows each other too well, so it's impossible to be a couple."

In fact, Boss Han didn't say a word. The Su family is a scholarly family, Su Meng's parents are both teachers, and Grandma Su doesn't like Han Chunming from a worker's family at all.

Boss Han still cares about his younger brother's face.

Wang Gang rolled his eyes and said to everyone: "Everyone, don't guess, Su Meng and I really can't, I like someone else."

Mother Han said happily: "Which girl is it? Bring it back and show it to Mom when you have time."

"Mom, it's a girl I met in the countryside. I'll bring it back for you to meet when I have a chance." Wang Gang casually said.

"Everyone who goes to the countryside to meet must have a name!" the aunt asked.

Wang Gang thought for a while, and a name suddenly popped up in his mind.

"Her name is Cai Xiaoli, and she is also from the capital."

Mother Han was even happier when she heard that, and said, "The people in the capital are nice, and they can eat rations."

Meng Xiaoxing was upset when she heard that, she snorted and ran out.

The aunt worried: "Xiao Wu, hurry up and chase Xiao Xing back, it's getting dark, it's not safe for her to be outside as a girl."

Wang Gang thought to himself, just like Meng Xiaoxing's madness, it doesn't matter who is dangerous!
In the end, Wang Gang was driven out by Han Mu to find Meng Xiaoxing.

Wang Gang saw Meng Xiaoxing before he left the gate of the compound. She should be waiting for Wang Gang to chase her.

Wang Gang doesn't know how to throw himself into a trap. Since Meng Xiaoxing won't go far, Wang Gang doesn't bother to talk to her, so he turns his head and walks into the courtyard.

It's just that before he took a few steps, a black shadow emerged from the corner of the wall.

Wang Gang almost made a move, but stopped the car in time when he saw that it was Su Meng.

"Why are you hiding in the corner?" Wang Gang asked curiously.

"Hush!" Su Meng looked around and pulled Wang Gang aside.

"I'm hiding from my grandma." Su Meng pulled Wang Gang to hide in the shadows, and the two were very close.

"Your grandma taught you a lesson." Wang Gang laughed.

"You still want to laugh, but it's not because of you." Su Meng said angrily, "If it wasn't for giving your aunt old clothes, my grandma wouldn't have taught me a lesson."

At this time, Grandma Su Meng came out from the back of the yard with a feather duster.

"Su Meng, where did you die?"

Wang Gang obviously felt that Su Meng was trembling all over, and he didn't dare to make a sound of fright.

"You're really afraid that your grandma will beat you! She's just putting on airs, she doesn't want to beat you." Wang Gang said with a smile.

"Take it easy, don't be overheard by my grandma." Su Meng dragged Wang Gang to the nearby warehouse.

Next to the compound is a warehouse, where cabbage and potatoes are stored in winter.It is summer now, so the warehouse is empty, and no one usually comes here.

Su Meng pulled Wang Gang into the warehouse, then patted her chest and said, "I'm not afraid of my grandma hitting me, I'm afraid of her nagging."

Wang Gang looked at the dark surroundings and had to admire Su Meng's courage.

The lonely men and widows are in the warehouse where no one will come. If other people know about this, how will Su Meng marry in the future.

Wang Gang originally thought that Meng Xiaoxing was enough, but Su Meng was even better than her!
