Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 1 Qin Huairu Borrowing Money
It snowed all night outside.

The exhaled breath turned into white mist due to the cold.

Xu Qing shook the snowflakes on his shoulders.

While reaching out to close the door, I did not forget to tell my younger siblings not to oversleep and be late for school.

Then he turned around, rubbed his hands, put them in the sleeves of his cotton jacket, and walked out of the gate of the front yard.

It was already past six o'clock in the morning, but it was still dark.

The weather was very cold, and the broken water urn placed in the courtyard had already been frozen with ice.

When the New Year rolls around, it will be [-].

Xu Qing knew that the most difficult days were about to end.

The natural disaster that lasted for three years will finally come to an end.

Fortunately, he just caught up with the end of the three-year famine period.

Not too guilty.

It has been half a year since Xu Qing came to the courtyard world.

It was a bit unacceptable at first, but gradually I got used to it.

After all, I have traveled through time, and if I want to go back, I am afraid it is impossible.

Xu Qing is seventeen this year. He will be an adult as soon as the Spring Festival is over. By then, he will be able to take the assessment for formal employment at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Now, although he is an apprentice, he can still earn 27 yuan a month, and the family's life can barely be maintained.

In the first half of the year, both parents died in an accident in the factory on business, leaving behind two younger brothers and one younger sister.

Yuanshen had no choice but to drop out of school, let his younger siblings study, and went to work in the factory instead of his parents.

As for the pension after the parents passed away, they didn't keep it with them. None of the people in the courtyard were good.

Now, this matter fell to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing also shouldered the responsibility.

After all, he is the eldest in the family!

Many things, from now on, need him to resist!
Because they lived in the backyard, Xu Qing, Xu Damao, the deaf old lady, and Liu Haizhong became neighbors.

At this moment, the courtyard was quiet, and the other three houses were dark, obviously they hadn't gotten up yet.

However, the lives of the three of them are better than Xu Qing's, so there is no need to get up early.

Both Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong have worked in the factory for many years, and they are still regular workers, and their salary is much higher than that of Xu Qing, an apprentice.

As for the deaf old lady, although she has no children and does not work, her life is quite comfortable with the help of people in the courtyard.

After all, she is very old and cannot walk without a cane. It is obviously unrealistic for her to work.

After leaving the backyard, Xu Qing walked into the middle courtyard.

At this time, in the middle courtyard, the lights in Jia's house were on.

Qin Huairu also got up early.

There is no way, her husband Jia Dongxu was paralyzed last year, and he is still lying on the kang unable to move.

Qin Huairu had no choice but to take Jia Dongxu's place and work in the Red Star Rolling Mill, just like Xu Qing.

According to the memory of the original body, Xu Qing knew that Qin Huairu had always complained about this matter.

After all, the reason why Qin Huairu came from the countryside and worked so hard to marry Jia Dongxu in the city was to enjoy the happiness.

But when Jia Dongxu paralyzed, her happy life was over.

Without a man in the family and Qin Huairu not going to work, how can the family live?Who do you support?

Does it depend on her mother-in-law Jia Zhang to shake the briquettes?
These days, although people living in the city, every household relies on briquettes to light a fire for cooking and heating.

Shaking coal balls can indeed make some money.

But Qin Huairu gave birth to a son, two daughters, Jia Zhang and the paralyzed Jia Dongxu.

There are six people in the family, more people than in Xu Qing's house, and the little money Jia Zhang earns from rocking coal balls is not enough to fill the gap between his teeth.

Moreover, Jia Zhang, who has a sharp and acrimonious personality, is not someone who goes to work.Therefore, the Jia family had no choice but to leave Qin Huairu to go to the factory.

Qin Huairu is currently an apprentice, just like Xu Qing, not because she is not old enough.

But Qin Huairu was a slow learner and knew few words, so after more than a year, she was still an apprentice.

At this time, Qin Huairu also opened the door and walked out of the house shrinkingly.

Seeing Xu Qing, a hint of joy suddenly appeared in his eyes.

In winter, when the dawn was late, Qin Huairu, a woman, went to the factory in the dark, unavoidably afraid.

On weekdays, she always waits for Shazhu to wait for her in the courtyard, and the two of them are companions together.

But last night, the factory leader invited someone to dinner.

Silly Zhu, as a cook, did not come back.

At this time, after Qin Huairu saw Xu Qing, he quickly ran two steps and followed Xu Qing towards the compound.

Snow is still falling.

As soon as Xu Qing walked out of the compound, a layer of rain fell on his head.

Qin Huairu stretched out his hand to pat Xu Qing, and then chatted with Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, how much was your salary last month?"

"Forty-nine five."

"Oh, just like me."

Xu Qing didn't speak, and walked slowly along the alley.

Qin Huairu continued:
"Xu Qing, do you still have your salary? Can you lend me some money first, and when I get paid next month, I will pay you back right away."

Xu Qing turned his head and glanced at Qin Huairu.

He shook his head and said, "Sister Qin, you lent me a dollar last month, but you haven't paid it back yet."

Last month, Stickong was mischievous, skating in the river and broke his leg.

Qin Huairu borrowed all the people in the compound one by one.

Xu Qing had just paid his salary at that time, so it was hard to say that he had no money, so he could only borrow one yuan.

As a result, it has been almost two months.

However, Qin Huairu has never mentioned a word about this matter.

No one in the Jia family mentioned this.

It was as if they had never borrowed money from Xu Qing.

At this time, Qin Huairu lowered her head in embarrassment and said nothing for a while.

However, Xu Qing took the initiative and said:

"Sister Qin, you should pay back the one dollar you lent me. The Chinese New Year will be next month."

"My younger siblings didn't buy new clothes last year. This year, I want to buy them a good one for the Chinese New Year."

What Xu Qing said was the truth.

In these years and months, the economy was difficult and supplies were scarce. In addition, in the past three years, the family plans have undergone changes, and they have encountered natural disasters that are rare in a century.

Even worse.

Xu Qing's monthly salary, apart from enough for his younger siblings to go to school and eat, has almost no extra money.

At this time, Qin Huairu had no choice but to pay back the money.

Although the Jia family had a hard time.

But Xu Qing can't let his younger brothers and sisters go hungry and wear patched clothes for the new year.

Xu Qing has a kind heart, but a good heart returns to a good heart.

You still have to ask for money.

Last night, Xu Qing knew that the Jia family was secretly eating meat in the house.

At this moment, Qin Huairu lowered her head and walked silently in the alley, stepping on the snow.

It wasn't until he reached the entrance of the alley that he choked out one sentence:
"Tomorrow, I will find a way to pay you back first."

The snow fell heavily on the ground.

Xu Qing heard that Qin Huairu agreed to pay back the money.

Then he stopped talking.

In this cold weather, when you open your mouth, the cold wind blows into your mouth, and all the heat on your body escapes.

Xu Qing and Qin Huairu walked out of the alley side by side, turned onto the street, and continued towards the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

There are few pedestrians on the street.

Occasionally, I can meet two people wearing locomotive hats, but they also shrink up and walk away in a hurry.

Xu Qing looked at the red slogans on the walls on both sides of the street, and his thoughts were indescribably complicated.

When they reached the gate of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, the sky gradually began to brighten.

The snow suddenly fell a little less, but it never stopped, covering the whole world in white flowers.

At this time, there were not many workers at the factory gate, so Xu Qing stomped off the snow and stretched out his hands from his sleeves.

Pushing open the icy big iron door, he walked in.
