Night.
Dong Xuebing left his office.
Dong Xuebing walked out of his office.
"Director Dong, have you gone back?" Han Fei smiled.
"Yes. Everyone should go back early." Dong Xuebing replied.
Zhang Lili replied. "It's fine. I will finish my work first."
Li Hong and Han Fei had not finished their work and did not leave. After all, they had just been promoted, and they cannot be too casual.
"Take note of the time. You can do it tomorrow." Dong Xuebing is not a harsh leader and is considerate to his subordinates.
Creak, the door opened.
Luo Haiting walked out with her bag.
Dong Xuebing turned around. "Director Luo is going back too? Do you want to go with me? "
"Ok. I will hitch a ride with you." Luo Haiting laughed. "Actually, I am still not familiar with the roads. I had just arrived in Beijing, and I have no sense of direction."
Dong Xuebing laughed. "It's easy to recognize the roads in Beijing. Most of the roads are in the north and south. You will be familiar with the roads in two days. Let's go. I will send you back."
Luo Haiting smoothed her hair. "Thank you."
Dong Xuebing turned to the rest. "Sister Zhang, Xiao Han, Xiao Li, you all should go back early. Don't stay up too late."
Han Fei looked at Dong Xuebing. "I will go now."
Dong Xuebing and Luo Haiting went downstairs.
… …
On the way.
Inside the car.
Luo Haiting looked at Dong Xuebing. "Xuebing, what are we having for dinner?"
"I don't know. I am too lazy to cook for myself. Maybe we can find a restaurant." Dong Xuebing replied.
"Then let's go to Big Sister's place for dinner?" Luo Haiting smiled. "I will cook for you."
Dong Xuebing hesitated for a while. He had been thinking about Luo Haiting's cooking for a while. "It's not suitable. There are many people in the quarters, and it's … "Dong Xuebing paused for a while and cleared his throat." Why don't we go to my place? I had bought the ingredients yesterday. "
Luo Haiting replied without hesitation. "Ok. It's all the same."
Dong Xuebing swallowed his saliva. "That's great. I had been wanting to eat your cooking for a long time."
This fellow was also hungry, so he stepped on the accelerator and sped up. They drove directly to Houhai, stopped the car, and walked into the alley.
In the siheyuan.
It was winter and the temperature was getting colder and colder.
Especially today, the weather had changed a little, it was a little colder.
Dong Xuebing and Luo Haiting could feel it when they entered the house. After putting down their bags, they felt the room is colder than outside. After all, this is a bungalow, and there is no heater. Dong Xuebing searched for an electric heater and switched it on. But the room is too big, and the heater is not working.
Luo Haiting asked, "No fire?"
"I didn't have time for the past two days." Dong Xuebing placed his hands in front of the heater and said. "I will not be able to sleep at this temperature."
Luo Haiting asked, "Do you have a stove?"
"Yes. I had left it in the west room. Huh? But there is no coal." Dong Xuebing replied. "I forgot to buy it." It's been a while since Dong Xuebing stayed in a bungalow. In the past, his family will prepare coal and charcoal for winter. But now, he is very busy, and he had not stayed in a bungalow for many years. That's why he doesn't have the habit of staying in a bungalow.
Luo Haiting smiled. "There is no way to start a fire without coal."
Suddenly, a shout came from outside, or perhaps it was the sound of shouting.
"Honeycomb briquette!"
"Honeycomb briquette!"
What a coincidence. A coal seller is here!
Dong Xuebing also did not expect there are people selling coal in Beijing's alleys. His eyes brighten up and quickly walk out. He shouted. "Wait!"
When Dong Xuebing walked out, he saw a man on a tricycle pulling a cart of coal. He turned and looked at Dong Xuebing. "How much do you want?"
Dong Xuebing looked at the tricycle, and there are not many coal left. "Give me half of this cart. Do you have any charcoal? I also need a few pieces of charcoal. " The entire siheyuan belongs to Dong Xuebing's house, and there are many rooms. He needs to buy more coal to prepare. If not, it will not be enough to start a fire or two. Luckily, there are still people selling coal in the early winter. In the future, Dong Xuebing will have to look for coal himself. He might as well buy more now. A piece of coal is not much, and Dong Xuebing does not need it. Even if he does not use it, he can use it next year.
That man replied. "Ok."
Luo Haiting followed. "Can you help us move the coal in?"
"Of course." That man replied. "Just make some space for us."
Luo Haiting acted like a hostess and entered the house to look for a place to put the coal.
After a while, half of the cart of coal was in Dong Xuebing's yard. The coal was placed at a corner of the house. There is a roof there, and Dong Xuebing can cover it with a plastic sheet or something.
Dong Xuebing went back to his room to get the money.
When he came out, the coal seller had left, and Sister Luo had paid for the coal.
"Sister Luo, what are you doing?" Dong Xuebing was unhappy. "How can I let you spend money?"
"Haha … it's not much." Luo Haiting laughed. "You had also given me a lot of money, and we still need to talk. You are not an outsider. "
Dong Xuebing replied helplessly. "Then … thank you."
"The stove is in the west room. I will go and get it. "Luo Haiting turned and entered the house.
"Don't mind me." Dong Xuebing followed her and pulled her arm to stop her. "You are wearing a bright red dress, and your sweater will get dirty. Don't dirty it again. Furthermore, you can't move it. Don't worry about me. I will do it myself."
Luo Haiting paused for a while and smiled. "Then I will carry the chimney."
"Ok." Dong Xuebing carried the stove out. It was very heavy, and he had to drag it along the floor. After a long time, he finally carried it to the north room.
Over there.
Luo Haiting had already inserted the chimney and tore the paper on the window. She stepped on a chair and inserted the chimney.
The stove was installed.
The chimney was installed.
The tape was also used.
Dong Xuebing placed a piece of charcoal at the bottom and a few pieces of charcoal on top. He used a pair of tongs to poke the holes in the honeycomb briquettes. After that, he took out some newspapers and used a lighter to light the front part of the newspaper. After that, he stuffed the newspaper into the hole under the stove and blew on it.
Huff …
Huff …
The coal was lit.
Luo Haiting laughed. "I didn't know you are so good at it."
Dong Xuebing covered the mouth of the stove with a third of the cover and looked up. "How can I not be good at it? When I was living in a bungalow, my parents' backs were not good, and I had to light the fire. At that time, we were poor, and charcoal was expensive. We don't have the money to buy it. How can it be so easy to start a fire? We had to find some firewood and dry branches and use newspapers to light the firewood before roasting the honeycomb briquettes. It takes a long time to start a fire, and the whole house will be filled with smoke. But now, we have charcoal, and it is not as troublesome as before. " Dong Xuebing knows this better than Luo Haiting. This is because he had lived a hard life and had suffered a lot.
The fire was lit.
The room gradually warmed up.
But when they walked out of the house, the courtyard was filled with thick smoke. Luo Haiting covered her mouth and coughed. "Sis, go and prepare dinner."
Dong Xuebing's eyes were also sore from the smoke. "Thank you."
After about a minute, most of the smoke in the courtyard had dissipated. The door to the north room was open, and the thick smoke in the room gradually dissipated.
Dinner is ready.
Luo Haiting had finished cooking.
Dong Xuebing sat with her by the stove in the North room and enjoyed the warmth of the room. Both of them had dinner together and felt good.
Luo Haiting asked. "Is it okay?"
Dong Xuebing replied. "How can your cooking not be good? It's delicious."
Luo Haiting laughed and picked some food for Dong Xuebing. "Eat more."
As they were eating, Luo Haiting blinked. "Is your phone ringing?"
"Huh?" Dong Xuebing heard it was ringing and walked into his room to take out his phone. It was his mother, Luan Xiaoping, who was calling. But when he picked up the phone, there was no sound. Dong Xuebing thought for a while and called his mother again. But the line was busy. Dong Xuebing called again, but the line was still not connected. Dong Xuebing stopped thinking about it. His mother calls him every week and should be asking about his condition.
After dinner, Dong Xuebing continued eating.
After dinner, Dong Xuebing and Luo Haiting sat on the bed watching TV. Although nothing happened, Dong Xuebing felt something was wrong. After all, he had slept with Luo Haiting before. Although they did not do anything after that, they can't forget what had happened.
It's past 7 pm.
The sky had already turned dark.
Luo Haiting did not say she wants to leave and continued watching the news. From time to time, she will chat with Dong Xuebing about current politics.
Dong Xuebing kept coughing and doesn't know what to do.
Luo Haiting is more generous and looks at Dong Xuebing after the news is over. "Sis, you are not in a hurry to go back. How about …" Luo Haiting took off her sweater under Dong Xuebing's shocked eyes. Sister Luo is only wearing a bra under her sweater, and her blue bra is revealed. But before it can be seen for a second, Sister Luo moved her hands behind her back and took off her bra calmly before throwing it aside.
Dong Xuebing took a deep breath.
Is she trying to kill me?!
Luo Haiting's hand paused, and she began to take off her skirt again. The underwear under the stockings and panty stockings could be seen at a glance. She behaved very casually.
Dong Xuebing was in a dilemma and swallowed his saliva.
"Are you sure?" Dong Xuebing asked.
Luo Haiting looks at Dong Xuebing. "I don't mind."
Dong Xuebing gritted his teeth and starts to take off his shirt.
But at this moment, there was a knock on the door, and someone rushed in. "Xuebing? Xuebing? Are you there? "
It's Dong Xuebing's mother, Luan Xiaoping!
Dong Xuebing was stunned. Why is his mother here?
