When I went home at night, Qi Ran saw the lights on the balcony downstairs. He was delighted and took two steps when climbing the stairs.

His parents haven't been home for many days, and Qi Siming is busy with drainage and self-rescue in the coal mine. As a factory doctor, Lu Aihua has to be on standby at any time to deal with emergencies. Besides, he feels sorry for her husband and is busy and has to take care of him when he is not on duty.

On this side, the couple couldn't put their son who was about to take the high school entrance examination, so they were still sensible. They patted their chests and said that it was no problem. They bought soy milk, fried dough sticks and buns for breakfast, and ate them at the school cafeteria at noon and evening. When the clothes in summer were dirty, they threw them into the washing machine, so that their parents could work with peace of mind.

Like most teenagers of this age, Qi Ran usually thinks that his father is too strict and his mother is too nagging, but he really didn't meet for a while, and he was wondering in his heart. It's right, how fast he runs upstairs, like a monkey.

When I opened the door, I saw my mother busy cleaning the room. Qi Ran happily called me and asked me if I was back.

"I'm going to repair the air conditioner for you," Lu Aihua put down the tea tray that was being washed, wiped his hands, grabbed Qi Ran and looked at it, and nodded with satisfaction: "I haven't lost weight."

"Qiran is back? Give me the electrician tape," Qi Siming's shout came from Qiran's room.

Qi Ran agreed and found the electrician tape in his father's tool box. When he entered his room, he saw Qi Siming standing on the bench and repairing the old air conditioner.

Qi Siming, an engineer, has a strong hands-on ability. He repairs the electrical appliances at home if they break down, saving some repair costs.

Qi Ran handed the tape to his father: "When did it break? I don't know... Dad, please rest more when you come back, and you are busy repairing the air conditioner."

"I just tried it, but if you don't start it up, take a look. There will be some minor problems in the circuit and it will be fine right away," Qi Siming said while fiddling with the work in his hand.

Just like all fathers who love their sons, he is not good at expressing his feelings, and his deep fatherly love is reflected in every detail of life.

The family didn't have much money, and the old air conditioner that Qiran used had problems almost every year. When he returned home from the mine, the first thing he did was to start it up for inspection.

It’s hot, my son is busy with the high school entrance examination, so he needs to ensure a good sleep...

Qi Ran walked to the kitchen to drink water. Seeing that his mother was still busy, he took a few big gulps, "Mom, aren't busy enough in the mine yet? Go and watch TV to take a break."

Lu Aihua smiled and said, "Your uncle and aunt will come over later, and you will always clean up like you."

Qi Siming repaired the air conditioner, and a beeping button sound came from Qi Ran's room. He put the tool back into the box, walked to the kitchen to wash his hands, and asked Qi Ran with a smile: "Have you worked hard recently? Thanks to your discovery of the signs of water permeability, many uncles and aunts in the mine praised you, but you are not allowed to be proud and complacent. Take the Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School to see them!"

"Dad, are you tired? You look pretty good in spirits," Qi Ran found that his dad was a little tired, with bloodshot eyes, but his mental state was quite good.

In the past, Qi Siming was depressed and unsuccessful at work. He was upright and diligent, but he was always suppressed by superiors. Even the most optimistic person would become depressed. He was usually taciturn and rarely saw a smile on his face.

Now, there is a smile on the corner of his mouth at any time, his whole body is filled with high enthusiasm and confidence, and he is talking more at home than before.

Lu Aihua smiled and patted her husband, and said to her son: "Your father has been amazing these days. The employees regard him as their backbone. He wants him to make decisions about big and small matters in the mine. Director Lu of the Industrial Bureau said to him that he obeyed his words and almost let him take care of him, which made him very excited!"

Qi Siming was a little proud and didn’t have to be modest in front of his wife and son: “That’s because the employees trust me, and the leaders respect me. Director Lu was the same. He didn’t expect that he would let me take responsibility specifically. Others thought that I had some old friendship with him. Haha, that’s not the case. I haven’t said a few words to him before… It can be seen that in this world, we are down-to-earth and diligent, and superiors and the masses see it. Honest people are not at a disadvantage.”

"Yeah," Qi Ran nodded repeatedly in agreement, but he was overjoyed in his heart. He could barely hold back his laughter, causing his stomach to hurt.

Even if the young man is ignorant of the world, he knows that the reason why Lu Zhiguo looks at his father differently is not just that "honest people will not suffer any losses."

Speaking of which, Lu Zhiguo was able to lift his double-regulation and remain in office, thanks to Lin Yan and Qi Ran. Lu Zhiguo learned the details from his son Lu Xiaozhong. It was not convenient to directly point out Qi Ran to express anything, and he must repay Qi Siming.

But Qi Ran decided not to tell his dad about these things, let him be happy simply!

After asking about the situation at the mine, Qi Siming said that the impact of water permeability this time was great. The mine was flooded on a large scale, and drainage and restoration work took a long time. In order to avoid repeated waste, he also talked with the Shenghua expert group on behalf of the coal mine, intending to directly cause their advanced technology to avoid technological transformation in the future.

Fully resume production will be at least a few months later.

"Sister, brother-in-law," said the loud voice of his uncle Lu Weidong from the corridor. The door was not closed. He pushed the door directly into the door. When he saw Qi Ran, he smiled: "Qi Ran is back too?"

Aunt Xu Lifang followed behind, but cousin Lu Junhao did not come.

Qi Siming and Lu Aihua greeted her with a smile: "Brother, sister-in-law, sit on the sofa, go and make tea. Junhao is working hard at home?"

"Yes, Junhao is working hard at home. He is so nervous about studying now. We are all afraid of disturbing him. So I heard that you will come to your side when you go home today." Xu Lifang was very proud when she mentioned Lu Junhao, and she deliberately glanced at Qi Ran who came over to serve tea, meaning that you are not able to compete with him.

Qi Ran felt a little depressed, but the other party was an elder after all, so he had no choice but to hold the tea with both hands: "Uncle, aunt, drink tea."

"I'm so sorry to bother my brother and sister-in-law," Qi Siming lit the cigarettes for Lu Weidong. He didn't smoke much, and the underground work of the coal mine was not allowed.

Qi Ran turned around and wanted to go back to his room. His mother Lu Aihua grabbed her and sat on the sofa, and then asked Lu Weidong with a smile: "Brother, how did Qi Ran's affairs run? What do you think of the acquaintances in the Education Commission?"

When he heard that Chen Yi promised to reward Qi Ran, Lu Aihua felt very sorry for her son not asking for permission to be admitted to Dongchuan No. 1 Middle School. Qi Siming also explained that her son was ambition, and compared to his private affairs of taking the middle school entrance examination, the livelihood prospects of the young and young men in the mine plus thousands of family members were more important. Chen Yi agreed to reconsider the reform plan and won the mine manager Huang Zhiyong who was ignorant of personnel. It was already a very good situation.

Recently, when the mine employees met Qi Siming, Lu Aihua and his wife, everyone would give him a thumbs up and praise each other hard.

Lu Aihua thought about Huang Zhiyong being taken down and her husband was valued by Lu Zhiguo, which made him psychologically balanced.

When choosing a school to attend No. 1 Middle School, I have to ask Lu Weidong and Xu Lifang.

Facing her sister's inquiry and expectant gaze, Lu Weidong was very embarrassed, and she never yelled like this: "The Education Commission is very troublesome. My sister-in-law and I will go to find them, and there is no progress... Otherwise, wait until the score is over, and I will ask someone to do things, if there is too much difference..."

When Lu Weidong said this, his old face turned a little red. He has always regarded himself as his elder brother, so it is really difficult for him to speak to his sister and his family.

In fact, the acquaintance of the Education Commission was Xu Lifang's mother's cousin. Lu Junhao chose the school through his relationship, but this time he didn't care much about Qi Ran. Lu Weidong suspected that his wife had played a bad role in it, but he had no choice but to do anything to her. After all, he still pointed at her cousin to do business.
