Chapter 172: Door-to-door Coal Factory

Lu Miao felt a little sorry.

In fact, I am not that short of money, and I can afford many things.

However, Fu Jingyou is too family-oriented.

In other words, he cared about her too much.

While Lu Miao sighed, she felt a little uncomfortable for no reason.

"it is good."

Fu Jingyou smiled hoarsely and patted her back gently to comfort her.

"I'll take the next two days off. I'll go to the county tomorrow and buy everything I need to buy. Then I'll go to the town to see my second brother the day after tomorrow."

In fact, when you come back from the county, you can go to the town to find Brother He on the way.

I'm just afraid that if I hold too many things in my hands, I'll give a little to others, which won't be justified or tolerated.

Lu Miaoyi nodded lightly on his shoulder, "Yes."

Fu Jingyou hugged her and asked again:

"Use all the tickets? Is there anything else you want? I'll buy it together."

"Is there anyone who buys nuts in the county? If so, buy some. Eat more nuts, it's good for your health."

"There is also paper, ink...my pen can no longer write."

"Okay, buy them all."

Fu Jingyou acted quickly and bought everything he needed on the first day.

Get up early the next day, carrying the nuts, red dates and a pound of brown sugar that Lu Miao packed the night before, Fu Jingyou went to town early.

There are no coal resources here in Xixian County.

The carbon used in winter is usually shipped either from Jing City next door or by large ships from the north.

People in small places don’t have that much demand for coal.

It is generally used in various factories, such as steel plants, brick factories, etc.

The coal plant in Nanhu Town is close to the river, in a poplar forest that protects water and soil and consolidates dikes.

Listening to his wife's words, Fu Jingyou went to the farmer's market first.

The queue at the meat joint shop starts at three or four in the morning. If you don't get stuck in buying meat, you will definitely not be able to get it.

Fu Jingyou grabbed two large stick bones, put them in a backpack and carried them on his back. After going around the streets of the town, he walked along the river for nearly an hour before arriving.

The red brick compound does not look tall and tall, but it contains a coal storage work area and a family living area. The entire compound occupies a large area.

Fu Jingyou and the man guarding the door told the name of his second brother He Fengcang and were successfully directed to the family area.

The coal factory is a guaranteed job, but the working environment is no better than other factories. The place you enter is either dark or dusty.

Fu Jingyou meandered back and forth, passing through several large vermilion-red waste cinder piles, and gradually walked into the independent courtyard of the family area with clotheslines pulled out and coats hung everywhere.

The family area of ​​the coal plant is a two-story building.

At first glance, the red brick walls are also dark and dusty.

There are a total of sixteen doors up and down, and there should be sixteen families living there.

The gatekeeper said that He Fengcang's family was the sixth household, so Fu Jingyou identified it carefully.

There are numbers roughly scratched out on the doors with coal slag. The house marked "6" happens to be the last house on the first floor.

Fu Jingyou approached the house at the end, listened to the sound first, and then knocked on the door.

"Knock Knock Knock-"

There was the sound of a woman coaxing a child inside the door.

As soon as the door was knocked, there was only the sound of children making noise inside.

"Who is it?"

came a strong female voice.

Fu Jingyou recognized the voice of his second sister-in-law Tian Guihua.

"Sister-in-law, it's me, I'm Xiaoliu."

It was quiet again inside, and it took a while before someone moved towards the door. "Oh, Xiaoliu is here."

Tian Guihua held the child with one hand and opened the door.

After glancing at Fu Jingyou up and down, Tian Guihua took a step to the side and invited Fu Jingyou into the house. She opened the door to the maximum.

"You sit down first, and my sister-in-law will give you a glass of water."

"Thank you sister-in-law... sister-in-law, there is no need to be busy. I came here today just to talk to my second brother about something."

The two-story building looks decent from the outside, but once you enter it you realize how small the space is.

A small room that looked as big as the room where he and Lu Miao slept at home.

Although it had been tidied up, the floor was dark, and there were two beds, large and small, placed close to the inner wall in the small space.

There are large tanks for water storage and a boiler for eating near the door.

Filled with miscellaneous things needed for daily life.

It's dark, crowded, and the visuals always give people a dirty feeling...

Fu Jingyou couldn't turn around. He took a quick glance, explained his purpose, and put the basket on his back down.

Fu Jingyou carried the basket and put things on the cutting board placed above the large water tank.

Tian Guihua poured water for him, and her son He Minjie put it on the ground and stood there.

The two-year-old boy can already walk slowly. He was held in his arms by his mother and coaxed, but now he is left alone.

The little guy's face was confused, and his face was full of snot and tears. He moved over to hug Tian Guihua's legs, crying until his cheeks turned red.

"Oh, wait a minute. You are such a grandpa. You can't live without me at all."

Tian Guihua's voice was loud, but her words were helpless.

Fu Jingyou was afraid that the little guy would be burned if he picked at it randomly, so he quickly opened the bag of nuts and red dates, grabbed a handful and went to coax:
"Xiaojie, come up here, come up to uncle."

He Minjie was twitching and refusing to accept life.

Stumbling, he actually stretched out his arms and walked towards Fu Jingyou.

Fu Jingyou put He Minjie into his arms, feeding him and coaxing him to play with him.

In the past, he was a boss who worked hard, and except for He Hongjin and his wife in the team, no one else had any contact with him.

He suddenly became so proactive and friendly. Tian Guihua was stunned for a while and stared at him several times.

Tian Guihua wondered, how could this person change so much?

To be honest, it was rare for Fu Jingyou to come to the door, and when he opened his mouth, he wanted to say something.

Tian Guihua knew that he must have come to her door because of something.

What else could I ask for to get here?
Isn't it just borrowing money?

Our home is surrounded by mountains, and if we close our eyes, we could trip over firewood, so we can't just come here to ask for coal.

Tian Guihua looked a little bad at first, but seeing the things Fu Jingyou brought out one after another, she was unsure again.

Big stick bones, brown sugar, and nuts...

A large bag of various things will cost three or four yuan.

It doesn't look like he's here to borrow money.

Could it be that she got it wrong?

Tian Guihua adjusted her condition and put the enamel jar filled with hot water to one side.

There were no serious chairs in the room, so she pulled over a small horse tie and placed it on the side of Fu Jingyou's legs. She nodded her son He Minjie's head and said with an angry smile:

"Look at you, your little uncle still loves you."

After saying that, Tian Guihua smiled at Fu Jingyou:
"Brother Xiaoliu, sit down first. You can hug this little ancestor for a while. I'll call your second brother back."

Fu Jingyou nodded, "Hey, sister-in-law, please run over."

"Look what you said, no trouble!"

Tian Guihua left with a smile.
