Chapter 537: Snowstorm

A snowstorm covered the entire Jidong Province and surrounding areas, making the streets extraordinarily quiet, with no one to be seen, and even wild dogs looking for places to hide.

Tie Dan drove a modified box cargo around a street near the University City, stopped on the side of the road, and waited quietly.

A small delivery robot galloped from the corner, ran over the snow with difficulty, reached the corner of the cargo box, climbed onto the landing gear hanging from the tail of the cargo box, and got into the cargo box.

The heavy snow seriously affects the endurance and speed of these little guys, so they must be picked up by cargo boxes.

Tie Dan picked up the tablet at hand and took a look. All the positions had been filled, and forty-seven delivery robots came out, and all of them came back.

Don't worry, Tie Dan shouted back again: "Are you all back?"

"Chirp!"

"Beep!"

"Squeak!"

Various voices sounded, and the small food delivery robots fixed at different positions in the carriage confirmed each other.

These little robots have different personalities and make different sounds.

However, if any robot detects an empty seat, it will send out an alarm. When the alarm was not heard, Tie Dan was relieved and started the car.

Today is New Year’s Eve, and about 2,000 people from Qingyang University have not returned home. Many of them chose to order food through Lazy Life, and Lazy Life also provided a New Year’s Eve set meal in due course, with various dumplings.

At the same time, Lazy Life also issued an announcement that it will be closed for one day on the first day of the Lunar New Year. It is recommended that you order more at a time, so as not to be hungry tomorrow.

After working for more than half a year, even Tie Dan wanted to take a break, not because he was tired, but because he wanted to spend some time with his mother and Tie Niu.

Tiedan made many employees go home for the New Year. He, Jiang Chaohua and a few left-behind employees were busy these two days. Fortunately, there were fewer people ordering food, so they were still busy.

He kept busy until after ten o'clock in the evening, and finally delivered all the orders. Tie Dan took out his phone and called home: "Mom, I'm going back right now."

Tiedan went to pick up Brother Jiang’s family. It’s rare that Wonton was closed two days ago. Brother Jiang and the others were busy making dumplings in Lazy God’s Kitchen. car.

Tie Dan drove the car carefully. He hasn't learned to drive for a long time, but he has run a lot of roads, and his driving skills are already good, but this is the first time for him to drive in snow, so he must be more careful.

Fortunately, they got home safely along the way. As soon as the car arrived in the alley, Xiao Hei barked, and then both doors opened.

Tie Dan parked the car and said to Tie Mu, "Mom, why are you out? It's so cold."

Mother Tie lovingly patted the snowflakes on Tie Dan's body, and said, "Mom is worried about you..."

Needless to say, Mother Tie has been looking forward to his return ever since he finished the phone call.

"Brother, you are back! Come grab the red envelopes! I grabbed a lot!" Seeing Tie Dan, Tie Niu yelled in the room.

Because this is a village in the city, there is no collective heating, and there is no gas pipeline. After the cold weather, Tie Dan installed a boiler and a local heating system, but the effect was not very good. The room was also very cold. Tie Niu was wearing a sweater and wrapped in a quilt. , is waving the mobile phone in his hand.

But Mother Tie put on a straight face, and called Tie Niu, "Come here quickly, we're ready for the New Year's Eve dinner!"

Mother Tie also made dumplings and was just waiting for Tie Dan to come back.

Although it is already ten o'clock in the evening, there is no shortage of New Year's Eve dinner.

Before Tie Dan took off his coat, Tie Mu took out a long firecracker and handed it to him, saying: "Go, set it at the door."

When Tie Dan was about to set off firecrackers, Tie's mother lit a stick of incense and offered it in front of Tie's father's portrait, muttering in her mouth: "His father, a year has passed in the blink of an eye, and it has been five or six years since you left." This year, all three of us mothers came to Qingyang, not at home, did not visit your grave, and don’t know if you are doing well there.”

As she spoke, tears flickered in the corners of Mother Tie's eyes.

But thinking about the earth-shaking changes in the past few months, she laughed again.

"His father, look. Now Tie Dan has become the boss and can earn money to support the family. Tie Niu has grown up and knows how to study. She even won a certificate this year and put it on the wall. Our old Tie family His ancestral grave must be smoking. In the coming year, his father, you must also bless our family to be healthy, bless this child Xiaoming, and bless those who have helped our family. You wait for me over there, until these The children have grown up and I am no longer needed, so I will go over there to find you..."

Having said that, Tiemu couldn't hold back her tears anymore, she looked back and saw that Tie Niu and Tie Dan were setting off firecrackers outside, so she wiped away her tears.

Tie Niu ran in and yelled, "Mom, let's go, let's go! Cover your ears! It's ringing! Mom, why are your eyes so red?"

"Scented..." Mother Tie smiled and wiped her tears with her sleeve.

When the firecrackers sounded, Mother Tie put the dumplings into the pot. The long firecrackers rang for a long time, watching Tie Niu hiding beside Tie Dan, covering her ears, jumping and screaming, watching the constantly exploding firecrackers and the flickering flames in the sky, recalling everything in the past, Mother Tie couldn't help crying again.

Tie Dan leaned over, hugged Tie Mu gently, and leaned into her son's arms. Tie Mu suddenly realized that her son had grown up and turned into such an indomitable man, and his facial features became more and more mature. When she saw Father Tie back then, she looked normal.

Tie Niu also leaned over obediently, and the mother and child hugged each other. After a while, Tie Niu said cautiously: "Mom, are you ready to eat the dumplings? I'm hungry!"

"Eat dumplings!" Mother Tie smiled, and the family of three gathered around the dining table, turned up the volume of the TV, and watched the Spring Festival Gala while eating and laughing.

Next to it, Father Tie's portrait is facing this direction, smiling slightly.

The sound of firecrackers next door also crackled, mixed with the screams of Xiao Hei Wang Wang. For Xiao Hei, this was really a difficult night. The sound of firecrackers will not stop this night, and his voice is probably tired and hoarse.

...

Compared with Tie Dan's family, Zhao Gaofeng's New Year's Eve was much happier.

Because Zhao's father and Zhao's mother are celebrating the New Year in Qingyang, Zhao Gaoshan's elder brother Zhao Gaoshan also came to Qingyang with his wife and children.

Zhao Gaofeng's eldest nephew will be ten years old after the new year, and his youngest niece will be six years old. The two children sometimes play and fight, and sometimes they lie together to have fun.

After the meal, the sister-in-law ran to the kitchen to pack her things, and the rest of them built the Great Wall in front of the mahjong table. We talked on the phone with Li Xiaofei.

Whenever seeing this scene, Zhao's father and Zhao's mother would look at each other and smile with relief.

Life is alive, what more can a husband ask for?

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Zhao Gaofeng came out of the room and said, "I'm going to inspect it."

The safety of Lanshen Technology cannot be underestimated. They celebrate the Spring Festival, and many foreigners do not celebrate the Spring Festival.

"It's late at night, and it's still snowing, let your brother go with you." The sister-in-law said.

Zhao Gaoshan turned away the mahjong and got up to get dressed.

Zhao Gaoshan's personality is a bit like Zhao Gaofeng's, both of them are taciturn, and they do more than talk, because of this temperament, among the young people who go out to work, they are considered to be good at it, and they are a small boss in the factory.

Since coming to Qingyang, he has become even more silent. There are too many things that he can't understand here. Sometimes he feels that he has stayed in the factory for too long and is out of touch with the world.

Downstairs, Zhao Gaoshan sat in the driver's seat. Zhao Gaoshan has been in Qingyang for seven or eight days. Recently, when Zhao Gaofeng was busy with work, Zhao Gaoshan often followed him. Sometimes he helps with some work, and sometimes he just drives without talking. Those who don't know may think that Zhao Gaoshan is Zhao Gaofeng's driver.

When we got to the outside of the research institute, we saw the security guards who were patrolling around the "Lian" on a self-balancing scooter. When they saw the two of them, they saluted: "Mr. Zhao! Brother Dashan is here too, thank you for your hard work!"

Both of them raised their hands to salute, Zhao Gaoshan was also from the army, this routine has not been forgotten, and his movements are neat and straightforward.

After going around for a while, Zhao Gaofeng didn't find any problems, so he went to Nanming's office to check again, and then he came back with peace of mind.

On the way back, Zhao Gaoshan suddenly said, "Xiaofeng, after the Chinese New Year... I'll stay in Qingyang too."

"Really?" Zhao Gaofeng was overjoyed. He said it several times before, but Zhao Gaoshan never let go.

Zhao Gaofeng knew what he was thinking, and he didn't want to trouble Zhao Gaofeng, and he didn't know whether he should give up his previous life.

But now he has finally changed his mind.

"I don't need you to take special care of me, just be an ordinary security guard. You can't stay in Lanshen Security, you can go to Jifeng Security..." Zhao Gaoshan said, he knows the average quality of Lanshen Security, he has retired for more than ten years I can't keep up with my physical fitness.

"Well, in fact, I originally planned to ask you to help me manage the security of Jifeng. Both Yang Ji and I are a bit too busy. It is absolutely fine for you to lead the team." Zhao Gaofeng said happily, "This way our family can They are all in Qingyang, so there is no need for parents to run away."

Zhao Gaoshan also laughed, and asked Zhao Gaofeng: "Jifeng Security... can wear a powered exoskeleton?"

...

The night was getting dark, and the midnight bell was about to strike. Du Junlin drove the car that Qing Zhongtang had borrowed from him, and parked near the family building of the Laosu station company, and looked up at the window on the third floor.

At this time, Du Junlin was still wearing the old clothes from before, down jacket, jeans, and high-top boots, all simple and plain.

But Du Junlin at this time is no longer the same as before.

The current Du Junlin is the acting chairman of a billion-dollar conglomerate, Nan Ming's assistant, and an out-and-out big shot.

But when he came back here, he was still him, the him who was full of repulsion and loathing for his family.

After hesitating for a long time, Du Junlin turned the car around and drove out. At the window, Du's mother covered her mouth with tears streaming down her face.

...

At 12 o'clock in the morning, according to the custom, dumplings will be served at this time.

When the dumplings were ready, Qi Minglai took a plate and left.

"What are you doing?" Qi Bin asked.

"Hey wild cat!" Qi Minglai didn't look back.
