59 years after its opening, people are still in Nanluoguxiang.

At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Niu Gengshen came again, this time followed by someone.

They came by car.

"Master, Xiao Chen, this is Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide."

Although Li Huaide has the support of a big boss behind him, he doesn't dare to act big in front of the old man. He is respectful and takes the initiative to step forward and bow slightly.

"Good afternoon, old man."

The old man stood up from the chair in the study with a smile.

"Okay, that's good."

"Director Li, please take a seat. Director Niu, please take a seat."

"Xiao Feng, quickly heat up a pot of good tea."

"Ah."

Chen Feng went to the kitchen carrying the teapot and the tea box. His two followers, Chen Hao and Chen Li, followed him with picture books.

In the kitchen, the old lady was nitring deerskin with Zhou Qing.

Today Zhou Qing went to the factory to report, said goodbye to Niu Gengshen and went home.

A coal stove was burning next to it, keeping the kitchen temperature at a moderate level.

"Who's coming?"

Seeing Chen Feng and the other two pushing the door open and coming in, the old lady asked.

"Director Niu brought Deputy Director Li Huaide of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill to visit the old man." Chen Feng picked up the large aluminum kettle and slowly poured boiling water directly into the teapot, brewing the tea leaves inside for the third time.

The old man was talking about heat, so of course he was hot.

Only good tea is truly good tea.

"What kind of visit? I think you're here for the venison." The old lady looked at Chen Hao and said, "Don't send the tea. Let Chen Hao send it over. That way, those people won't plot against you. Let your grandfather deal with them."

“Xiao Hao, if they ask, just say I asked my brother to work in the kitchen.”

"Okay, I got it, grandma." Chen Hao was very happy to block trouble for Chen Feng.

After filling the clay pot with eight parts of water, Chen Hao handed the teapot over.

Chen Feng put down the kettle and helped the old lady make leather.

Chen Li liked to learn from him. Seeing him helping, she threw the picture book on the chair and wanted to do the same.

"Don't do it. You are too weak. Wait until you grow up to help."

"Uh-huh."

Half an hour later, the old man called out in the yard, "Xiao Feng, come out and see Director Li and Director Niu off."

Chen Feng opened the kitchen door and went out, pretending to be stupid.

"Grandpa, do you want to ride a tricycle?"

"No, no, I came here in Director Yang's car, which is right outside the door." Li Huaide thanked him very kindly and praised him, "What a good kid! No wonder you can do things that 13% of people can't do at the age of ."

"Old man, I hope you will seriously consider this. I can solve the age issue here."

"Okay, I'll think about it. Director Li, take care."

The old man nodded.

The old man and the young man walked each other to the alley until the other got into the car and left.

"Grandpa, what does he want to do?"

"Nothing, I just want to change your age to 16, so that you can start working at Red Star earlier, and guarantee you a promotion of at least one level per year, and at least a deputy director position before you turn 20."

The old man's tone was a little disdainful, but his expression was extremely proud.

"Tsk, why didn't he promise to let me be the deputy director?"

"It's not impossible!"

"Hahaha!"

The grandfather and grandson stood at the door together and laughed.

"What are you grinning at? It's so cold outside. Come in quickly." The old lady shouted at them at the kitchen door.

"I'm wearing a fur coat, so I'm not cold at all."

The old man patted his coat and asked, "Lily, are you cold?"

Chen Li jumped on the snow and laughed when she saw the footprints she made.

Hear the old man's question.

"Grandpa, I'm not cold."

The old man said to the old lady, "Look, it's not cold at all."

The old lady glared at the old man and went back to the kitchen to continue her work.

"Big Pot, let's have a snowball fight." Chen Li lay down, grabbed a ball of snow, and pressed it into a snowball in her hand.

Zhou Qing used the remaining wolf skin from making warm shoes for Chen Feng to make a pair of gloves for her.

The gloves were intentionally made a little big so that Chen Hao could wear them.

These are the warm gloves that I prepared three years in advance!

But Chen Li was very happy. With the gloves, she could play in the snow this winter without her family caring about her.

"I won't come. You go find Jiang Hongjun and the others." Chen Feng was not interested in this kind of children's activities.

The original body used to like to participate and bully Chen Hao together with Chen Li every time.

The fool Chen Hao was very happy.

"Lily, go find them. I'll go find you, Bayi and Fatty."

"Okay, second brother."

Chen Li went to the middle courtyard and the backyard to play snowball fights with her friends, while Chen Hao went to find Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan.

In snowy weather, adults usually don’t dare let their children go out, for fear that they might get sick, and current medical technology is not very advanced.

But when I heard it was the Chen family, I felt relieved.

In the past, when it snowed, every time the children played in the Chen family’s yard, the old man would give everyone a cup of medicine to drink, which was very effective.

But now it has been replaced with Chen Feng’s sweet well water.

One by one, the children followed Chen Li and gathered in the main house of the Chen family in the front yard.

In less than ten minutes, a group of children appeared in the front yard having a snowball fight.

"Hey!"

“Haha, it hit.”

Chen Li and several girls hid under the grape trellis. While fighting back, they used bamboo poles stuck in the ground to dodge, with Hu Bayi helping them from behind.

Chen Feng prepared the sweet well water and gave a glass to the old man first.

After coming out, he said to them, "Take a break first, go to the kitchen to warm your hands and have a cup of sugar water."

"Thank you, Brother Feng."

"Thank you, Brother Xiaofeng."

A group of children expressed their gratitude in unison.

The old lady had already taken out a dozen bowls and poured the sugar water prepared by Chen Feng into them.

"One bowl per person, no grabbing, drink slowly, be careful of the heat."

Looking at this group of children from the neighborhood queuing up obediently to get their bowls, the old man smiled brightly.

Little Lily held the bowl and said to the old lady, "Grandma, you drink too."

The old lady shook her head and touched her granddaughter's little face.

"Grandma has already drunk it. If you don't want to drink it, drink it yourself."

While drinking the sugar water, these noisy little kids became quieter than each other.

They all stood by the coal stove, holding their bowls and drinking in small sips.

Some people whose families are not well off are reluctant to drink too much and drink very slowly.

Hu Bayi was naturally very fast. Not only sugar water, he also ate a lot of imported chocolate.

“Grandma, is this deerskin?”

"Correct."

Naturally, Hu Ba's family also received the venison sent by Chen Jianjun, including not only marinated venison, but also some medicinal wine for nourishment.

However, it was the first time that Hu Bayi saw deerskin, and he was particularly curious about the antlers that Chen Feng had cut off.

He seems to be a calm and composed person, but in fact he is very restless.

Otherwise, he would not have been retired after the prisoners were shot during the counterattack, and instead of seeking reemployment through connections with his family, he would have engaged in illegal activities - tomb robbing.

"Brother Bayi, have a snowball fight, have a snowball fight."

After Chen Li finished drinking the sugar water, she started looking for Hu Bayi to go out and play again.

She likes to hold Hu Bayi's hand because Hu Bayi doesn't play snowball fights, but only makes snowballs for her.

A group of people who were originally drinking slowly also speeded up.
