Chapter 173 Brother He

Fu Jingyou looked back at He Minjie in her arms.

The little guy has a round face and is very cute. It can be seen that He Fengcang and Tian Guihua have raised him well.

He was just as dirty as a small briquette.

Fu Jingyou sat on the horse, holding small briquettes and placing them on the ground.

After looking around, he took a gourd and scooped some water into the jar.

He didn't drink the hot water Tian Guihua poured for him. He poured the steaming boiling water into the gourd and tried it.

It's warm and the temperature is okay.

There was nothing else on hand to wipe, so Fu Jingyou took a rag and wet it, and patiently and carefully wiped He Minjie's face and hands clean one by one.

He Minjie's little face was flushed by the heat, and he looked so rosy and attractive.

Fu Jingyou's sharp eyebrows softened, and she poked his cheek and teased:

"Call uncle."

He Minjie looked at him and puffed out bubbles.

He added: "Call me uncle."

"Pooh!"

He Minjie spat all over his face with a "poof" sound.

"Little boy."

Fu Jingyou wiped his face and pretended to be fierce and patted He Minjie's butt. The little guy laughed happily.

Fu Jingyou shook his head, thinking about the train, and suddenly started to dream.

When can he and Lu Miao be together and have a child of his own?

Will the child be like He Minjie by then?
The naughty uncles and uncles are spitting on you?

Fu Jingyou shook his head, his face soft and amused by his own thoughts.

He picked up He Minjie and put him on his lap to tease him. Suddenly, footsteps coming from far away came from outside the door.

Fu Jingyou hugged He Minjie and stood up, just as He Fengcang and Tian Guihua came in from the door.

"Xiao Liu, your sister-in-law said you came to see me for something? What is it?"

The two brothers of the He family both look like He Hongjin, have rough voices, are neither short in stature, and are both young men with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

He Fengcang works in a coal factory, and his daily work is not light. Coupled with the heavy coal dust, he always gets dirty easily.

So at first glance, He Fengcang looks much older.

He is in his 20s and looks like he is 30 years old.

Tian Guihua stretched out her hand to hug the child.

Fu Jingyou avoided, "Sister-in-law, you are busy, I will hold you for a while."

"That's fine."

"Are there any peanuts at home?"

He Fengcang glanced at it and said, "You stir up some, and Xiaoliu and I will have a few cups."

"Hey."

Tian Guihua responded with a smile, carrying the stove to the door to light a fire.

Fu Jingyou quickly stopped him: "I won't drink this time, second brother. The commune has to build roads, and there are things at home. I'll rush back as soon as I finish."

"You."

He Fengcang shook his head and laughed, then pulled the small table out from the gap of the bed and opened it.

"It's rare that I don't have to worry about this for a while. I still have a lot of things to ask you!"

"I haven't had time to go back. How are my parents at home? Are they still in good health?"

He Fengcang chatted with Fu Jingyou about his family.Seeing that he was worried about his family, Fu Jingyou also sat quietly around the table and talked about the situation at home seriously.

"My uncle and aunt are both in good health. There isn't much work in the team as winter comes, so I need to have some free time. Over there...the commune arranges road construction, so there are more things to do, but that's okay. It's getting colder and we get busy. , people should also be more comfortable."

"That's the thing."

He Fengcang nodded, brought a warm kettle and filled it with Fu Jingyou, and gradually got down to business:

"Speaking of which, why are you here this time? I heard that you have a wife, how is it? Are you living a good life? Are you short of money?"

The job of an iron rice bowl is certainly tiring, but it still earns more than farming.

Tian Guihua is very taboo about relatives coming to borrow money, but to He Fengcang, Fu Jingyou is not a relative.

He is the younger brother.

He and his boss He Fengshou were in the county and the other in the town.

He only cares about himself and his family throughout the year. Most of the older couples in the team are taken care of by this younger brother.

If Fu Jingyou is short of money, He Fengcang is willing to get it for him.

Without Fu Jingyou speaking, He Fengcang stood up and approached the end of the bed to get the money.

"Second brother, I'm not here because of money..."

Fu Jingyou saw his movements and quickly stood up to pull him back.

"I am married to a daughter-in-law. She is an educated youth from the northern city."

"I heard that there is a supply of coal in the north in winter... This is her first winter in the south. I'm afraid she won't be able to adapt, so I want to get some coal from you, okay?"

Fu Jingyou explained his intention, but did not say that it was Lu Miao who wanted it.

He Fengcang was stunned for two seconds and looked at him in surprise:

"Good boy, you are really capable!"

He Fengcang grinned and shouted toward the door:
"Mother Minjie, did you hear that? My brother begged an educated youth aunt!"

Fu Jingyou scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to say.

"After you marry a wife, you are no longer a child. You know how to think about your wife. This is right!"

He Fengcang smiled heartily and was sincerely happy for Fu Jingyou.

"Coal is a trivial matter. I have a supply of fifty kilograms this month. Have you brought anything? In this way, you can take it all back first. If it's not enough, come back later!"

In fact, you can buy coal by squatting outside, but coal tickets are difficult to get.

He Fengcang is a coal factory worker. He can separate his supply to Fu Jingyou, which shows that he has a way to buy coal.

This is also the reason why Fu Jingyou comes here.

"Second brother, you should keep your own coal for yourself. If there is a way to buy coal, you can show me the way and I will buy it."

Fu Jingyou didn’t hide anything and said frankly:
"I'm sure I won't just give it up to you this time about coal, and you can't give it up to me every time. If you can buy it, let me buy it."

If you want money to do things conveniently, don't always use favors.

No matter how good the relationship is between people, discord will always arise easily over time.

"You boy, you have really become an indomitable man!"

He Fengcang didn't understand what he meant, so he shook his head and laughed again:
"Okay, I'll do it for you. You don't need to find anyone else."

"Workers in the coal plant not only have a monthly supply of coal, but also an internal price for buying carbon. The lotus root coal supplied on the market is five cents a pound, and separate tickets are required. Our internal price here is four cents a pound, and no tickets are required. of."

[Lotus root coal: honeycomb coal, the old name in the south. 】

He Fengcang thought about it and added:
"However, there is a fixed quota every month. If you want to buy it, you can only buy a share of [-] kilograms."

In fact, it is a benefit provided by coal plants to workers. Those who have the conditions and are willing to do so can buy them back for the elderly at home.

We don’t dare to release too much of our shares to the public because we are afraid that some people will take advantage of them and resell them on the black market.

"How much money do you have? How much coal do you want? Don't be embarrassed if you don't have enough money. Second brother will hold it for you first."

 Tickets come!
