At three o'clock in the afternoon, the snow stopped for a while.

Xu Qing asked Ma Jiefang to have lunch in the house before leaving.

Xu Damao, who lives in the backyard, didn’t know when he would return to the courtyard.

I saw Ma Jiefang come out of Xu Qing's house and ride away on his bicycle.

He immediately opened the door, holding a cigarette in his mouth, leaning against the door, opening his mouth and asking Xu Qing:

"Who is that guy? He looks quite wealthy and is wearing a military coat."

These days, the only people who can wear military coats are soldiers or their family members.

But Xu Damao felt that Ma Jiefang didn't look like a soldier, so he was curious and wanted to ask.

"My classmate's father is the director of the security department in our factory. He also plans to work in the factory next year. He came over to talk to me today if he has nothing to do."

Xu Qing rubbed his hands together. It was too cold. He casually replied to Xu Damao and quickly turned around and returned to the warm room.

Xu Damao frowned and was secretly shocked.

He didn't expect that Xu Qing's classmate turned out to be the son of the director of Security Koma.

I couldn't help but envy Xu Qing.

He has no classmates and has not studied for a few years. He has not graduated from junior high school and has stopped studying.

After two years of working together in Forty-Nine City, when I reached the age of seventeen, I went to work in a factory again.

There are a lot of co-workers, but there are almost no classmates.

Even if they are classmates who went to junior high school together and haven't contacted each other for many years, even if they meet while walking on the street, they may not be able to recognize them.

Today I saw that classmate Xu Qing is the son of the director of the security department in the factory. It seems that the two of them have a very good relationship. Xu Qing came to see Xu Qing on this cold day, which made Xu Damao feel jealous.

I secretly wonder why I don’t have such a good life.

Suddenly, the snowflakes that started to fall again fell on my face, giving me a cold chill.

Xu Damao came to his senses and quickly retreated into the room.

There was no one in the yard again, and the snow started to fall again.

At about five o'clock, the snow stopped, and He Yuyu came over with books in his arms. Xu Qing helped tutor for a while.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the snowflakes started to float again, followed by the white-haired wind howling in the courtyard.

At the end of the day, the snow fell and stopped, stopped and fell, intermittently, and finally the entire Sijiu City was soaked in a white world.

......

Early in the morning, the snow finally stopped falling.

Although the sky is still dark and pale, sporadic twinkles can be seen.

Before Xu Qing went out, he warned the three little ones as usual not to oversleep.

Then he closed the door, stepped on the frozen snow, and walked out of the courtyard.

In the middle courtyard, Sha Zhu was already dressed and standing in the courtyard smoking a cigarette. When he saw Xu Qing, he said hello and did not want to go together. He was waiting for Qin Huairu.

Xu Qing responded to Silly Zhu, put his hands in the sleeves of his cotton-padded jacket, and continued to leave the compound alone.

He was the first to push open the door of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, as usual.

He was also the first to enter the third workshop.

I have been arriving early for half a year, and Xu Qing is used to it.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, the sun peeked out from the sky, sweeping away the gloomy days.

However, the northwest wind is still very strong, making this warm winter sun not warm at all.

Master Lao Zhang shouted to Xu Qing, saying that someone was looking for him.

Xu Qing walked out of the workshop and saw Ma Jiefang.

Ma Jiefang huddled in his military coat, wearing a pair of black leather gloves that didn't fit his fingers. His face was red from the cold, and he looked dusty. He obviously came here on a bicycle.

However, Xu Qing didn't see the bicycle, so he probably parked it outside the factory gate.

"Xu Qing, brother brought the tickets for you."

Ma Jiefang said, reaching out and grabbing a handful from the inner pocket sewn into the cotton-padded jacket, and handed it over.

When Xu Qing saw this, a warm current surged in his heart.

Sure enough, my classmates are reliable.

At the critical moment, you are better than those in the compound.

As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, but Xu Qing felt at this time that close neighbors are not as good as classmates.

After all, the friendship between classmates is the purest!

In front of him, Xu Qing counted the various votes and then said:

"Liberation, I will return it to you tomorrow afternoon."

Ma Jiefang shook his head and held the flue in his mouth:

"Don't worry, it's okay."

After Ma Jiefang finished speaking, he turned around and left.

Xu Qing held the twelve tickets in his hand and looked at them quietly.

Then he turned around and returned to the workshop.

At noon.

Xu Qing finished his lunch early in the cafeteria, and then returned to the workshop alone while the others were still eating.

He has the ability to split into two parts, but Xu Qing doesn’t want others to see it.

There are so many people in the cafeteria, everyone is there, but he never uses it, even if he can't fill his stomach for lunch.

If someone sees it, I'm afraid it will inevitably cause trouble. It's okay that no one cares, but I'm afraid someone with sharp eyes will see it.

At this time, he was the only one in the third workshop.

Xu Qing closed the door of the workshop and took out the ticket that Ma Jiefang had sent him in the morning.

Use it secretly to divide it into two parts and divide them one by one.

In one minute, twelve tickets turned into twenty-four.

Xu Qing felt indescribably happy.

With these tickets, you don’t have to worry about being refused to sell things when you go to the supply and marketing cooperative in the future.

There is no other way. The ticket purchase mechanism is implemented across the country. If you have money but no tickets, you can only stare.

Xu Qing put the twelve tickets that Ma Jiefang sent today into the right pocket of his cotton trousers, and put all the separated tickets into the left pocket.

The factory gets off work in the afternoon.

Xu Qing originally planned to return the ticket to Ma Jiefang today.

But after thinking about it for a while, I gave up the idea and decided to pay it back tomorrow.

Silly Zhu and Qin Huairu arrived at the factory gate at some point.

When he saw Xu Qing, he offered to go back together.

Xu Qing didn’t refuse either.

The three of them walked back to the compound together.

There is a lot of noise in the courtyard right now, and I don’t know what happened.

The people in the compound were all gathered in the front yard, talking worriedly.

Xu Qing asked the third uncle and learned that a child from a family in the alley next door went skating in the river with his friends after school in the afternoon.

As a result, the ice broke and I lost my footing and fell into the water.

The other children panicked and ran home in fright to call the adults. However, when the adults rushed there, the child had already drowned under the ice three kilometers away from the hole where he fell.

In these years, this is undoubtedly a shocking event.

Children are naturally playful and will get into trouble if they are not careful.

In summer, school and home will frequently give orders to stay away from the river and not to play in the water.

But no one expected that in this winter, with a little negligence, something like this would happen.

Some time ago, the Jia family's cockroach in the compound went skating in the river with his companions and broke his leg.

Fortunately, the ice did not crack and did not fall into the water, otherwise the Jia family would have been completely destroyed.

However, I broke my leg. Until now, Bangge has been lying on the kang for a long time and cannot go to school.

Xu Qing suddenly thought of the three little ones at home.
Chapter completed!
