Hong Tao was packing his luggage at home, and his wife Xiangqin came in with her son in her arms, bringing in a gust of cold wind.
"Dad, Master Yan called just now. The Red Star Steel Plant project will start next month when the weather gets warmer. He asked our family to collect more food and other things. There will be many people by then, and I'm afraid we won't be able to reach it. ”
Uncle Hong said yes and said nothing more.
On the other hand, the sister-in-law next to me became excited, "Has construction started? That's great, big business is coming."
During this period, the two sisters-in-law delivered food to Hu's restaurant Meat, I made a lot of money. However, the Hu Family Restaurant has not yet opened a new store, and the scale of the old restaurant is limited after all. Just when my sister-in-law felt that it was not enough, she did not expect that Lao Yan would have good news here.
According to Master Yan, there are thousands of people working on the construction site every day, and the amount of grain, oil, vegetables and vegetables consumed is extremely huge. As one of the suppliers, Xiangqin Sister-in-law is probably very busy. .
Hong Tao weighed his luggage and found that it was not difficult to carry it, so he sat next to him and lit a cigarette.
"Dad, can you come back if there is a holiday?" Xiangqin asked.
Before Hong Tao could speak, Old Man Hong snorted, "Why? The construction site is about to start, so there will be no time to come back."
Xiangqin stuck out her tongue. Dare not say anything.
Hong Tao seemed to have remembered something, and took out a wad of banknotes from his pocket and handed it to Granny Hong, "Mom, keep this money for home use."
Granny Hong returned the money to Granny Hong. He said, "No, I have some at home, keep it for yourself."
Hong Tao couldn't help but stuff the money into his mother's apron pocket, "The company pays for it, I'm not short of money."

"Then give it to Xiangqin."
Next to her, Xiangqin also advised, "I gave it. This money is Hong Tao's filial piety. Mom, just keep it."
Seeing the behavior of the two couples, the sister-in-law felt a little disappointed. Her husband sent money back every month, and she and Xiangqin also made some money during this period, so they were not short of money. But when you think about Hong Tao's income of 300 yuan a month, the man in his family only earns dozens of yuan a month. Even if his food and clothing are provided by the public, the gap is really too big.
But this disappointment soon disappeared. The men in my family eat at the public house and are cadres. When she went to the commune, the secretary would give her a smile when he saw her. No amount of money could buy this honor.
Hong Tao was assigned to Zhenghua Construction Company as Master Yan's deputy. He would first learn construction knowledge from Lao Yan, and later he would set up a second construction team, which he would be responsible for managing. In addition, he also has an important task, which is to protect the construction site and prevent those local ruffians from causing trouble.
In the corner of the train station hall, there were hundreds and dozens of people crowded, including men, women, old and young. The old one is already an octogenarian, and the younger one is still nursing in his mother's arms.
The clothes of these people are a bit old and tattered. Strictly speaking, they can only barely cover their bodies. Although there is heating equipment in the hall, theseThe person was still shivering from the cold, but his eyes were shining with stars, full of longing.
"Here it comes, here it comes, the coats are here." Zhang Debiao and Yu Wenjie entered the hall holding military coats that looked like mountains.
"Tong Yue, give me a hand and share it with everyone." Li Anran immediately went up to him, took a military coat from Zhang Debiao's arms and wrapped it around an old man.
Everyone rushed forward and divided the military coats.
"I have been in all the nearby shopping malls, just these dozens of items." There were still slight beads of sweat on Zhang Debiao's forehead. It seemed that he was tired from this trip.
Tong Yue was a little annoyed. He was from the south and it was his first time to come to the capital. He never imagined that the Spring Festival was over and the weather in the north was still so cold. These people behind were all the family members of the six soldiers who died and were injured. They were all from the south. They were already poor and had no winter clothes, so they were frozen now.
"It's okay. I'll call my uncle. They should have some in the city bureau's warehouse. Let's borrow them first and then buy new ones and return them to them." Li Anran found a public phone in the corner of the waiting hall. Call Li Ningbo.
Hu Minghui, Guo Lingyan, Tong Zhuoyue, Wang Fang, and Qu Ying ran over carrying cotton bags and distributed the buns among the crowd.
Haiyang asked the station dispatching office to borrow boiling water and ran over with a few teapots, "Drink some hot water to warm yourself up first."
Several station staff also followed suit He came over, carrying a kettle and a teapot, as well as a few cotton-padded jackets.
Haiyang explained this, "They heard they were the family members of the martyrs, so they all came to help."
Li Anran was moved and kept saying thanks to the leader.

"Thank you for what? Their children sacrificed their lives to protect us. This little thing is nothing." The eyes of the leading staff member were vaguely shining.
News about the martyrs’ families quickly spread quietly in the waiting hall. Many people gathered around, some bringing food, some giving money and food stamps, which made Li Anran and the others confused. I feel grateful but helpless, so I just refuse to explain and thank you all for your kindness.
"I have a child's cotton-padded jacket here. Put it on the child first so that it doesn't freeze." A young woman came to the side and took out a small floral jacket from her bag and handed it over.
Seeing this, another passenger also took out a child's singlet from his travel bag, "It's just this singlet, I'm really sorry."
"Comrade, I have some here. It’s a little quilt, don’t mind it.”
“Comrade, do you want some cotton gloves? And a scarf?”
Short In just a few minutes, passengers in the waiting hall brought over a dozen pieces of clothing, large and small.
Tong Yue’s eyes were filled with mist, and several other soldiers also wiped away tears behind their backs.. Li Anran couldn't say anything else except thank you, and just bowed mechanically to thank him.
When Zhang Hao and Wu Xiaoming arrived, most of the family members were wearing all kinds of winter clothes.

All the family members were accommodated in the five-entry courtyard. The unit only handed over the house at the end of the year, and the weather was cold and there was no time to renovate it. Fortunately, it was originally a staff dormitory. Apart from purchasing some daily necessities, everything else can be used immediately.
The most troublesome thing now is that these family members are all from the south and cannot speak Mandarin at all. What is even more ridiculous is that the language between them is not clear, and they can communicate with each other like chickens and ducks. Can only communicate through body language.
"A total of one hundred and thirty-seven people, including eleven elderly people over sixty, twenty-three children under ten years old, and the remaining fifty-two men and five women. Eleven. Xiao Fan has the most people in the family, and the key is an old man in his nineties, who seems to be in poor health. I just checked and it seems that a woman and two children have a cold. I have asked someone to boil some ginger. Give them soup, and if it doesn't work, they have to be sent to the hospital for treatment." Tong Yue gave a general report on the family's situation.
The most difficult part of the long journey has been completed. When we reach the capital, any situation can be easily solved.
"Boss, De Biao, Lan Yu, National Day, Zhutian, Guo Lingyan, Wang Fang, you guys send the elderly and sick family members to the hospital for medical treatment." Li Anran ordered, taking out a stack of He gave the money to Yu Wenjie, "If you don't have enough money, ask me again."
"Okay." Several people stood up and left.
"Hu Minghui, Tong Zhuohuo, Haiyang, Demin, Ma Tao, Qu Ying, you guys go make some porridge over a fire, and then go out to buy some vegetarian buns. Eat light food for a few days first, and slowly Add meat and fish."
"Okay." Hu Minghui took the money and food stamps, counted them carefully, and then led the others out. Li Anran was a little surprised by her performance.
"Master Yan, Brother Tao, you guys are going to have a feel for it in a while. If you are suitable for joining the construction company, write it down and take it to the company to get familiar with it. When the work starts, let someone take it with you."
Yan Youfang and Hong Tao both nodded in agreement.
"Brother Hao, Brother Xiaoming, I'll leave it to you to contact the children about studying."
Zhang Hao patted his chest and said, "Leave it to us, don't worry."

Li Anran took out the special cigarette and spread it around. Several people gathered together to smoke. The room suddenly filled with smoke, as if it was on fire.
"Brother Tong, this is the settlement allowance. You can pay it later. And for the rest of you, please send some to your family. It's not easy for your family." Li Anran took out some money from his travel bag. Stack the money and put it on the table.
This was the first time these people saw so much money, and their eyes widened.
Tong Yue held a cigarette in his mouth, counted six portions, and took it for himselfI took one share in my pocket and divided the other five among several soldiers. "Three hundred each, keep some living expenses, and send the rest back, do you hear me?"
"Yes, company commander." The soldiers took the money and carefully put it into their pockets.
The remaining money was divided into six parts and spread evenly on the table. One soldier suddenly couldn't help crying, and Tong Yue's eyes were also red.
Li Anran's heart twitched a few times, and he took a long puff of cigarette to suppress the surging emotions. "If the three injured cannot return to the team, please come over. Master Yan will look at arranging the work then."
