Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 114 Farewell
At this time in the room, only grandma dared to complain and complain to grandpa.

The old man felt that what the old man said just now was correct!
It's this temper that hasn't changed at all in his whole life, especially when his temper comes up, his face is always uncontrollably serious, and his stern face can scare people to death.

Seeing the little girl and Xu Fengming jumping into his arms in fright, the old man complained:

"Old man, you just say what you say. Who can show you your stern face? They are all your own children, why can't you stop your bad temper!"

The old man held the cigarette in his hand, said nothing, and glanced at the little girl from the corner of his eye.

Then he tried his best to put on a smile on his face and said, "Okay, I won't say any more. Anyway, I've finished saying what I need to say."

The little girl cowardly and Xu Fengming saw a smile on her grandfather's face, and then she felt better and not as scared as before.

Xu Qing thought about his grandfather's previous words for a while, then raised his head and looked at his second father, Xu Guangjin, who was standing on the edge of the kang.

At this time, Xu Guangjin was still smoking silently. Seeing his nephew looking at him, he grinned, but didn't say anything.

Because he understood why the old man arranged it like this. He didn't say it, but he knew it in his heart.

He didn't feel anything bad about it.

The eldest brother is gone, and now there are four children left with no one to care about.

Fortunately, Xu Qing, the eldest nephew, is older and can still take care of his younger brothers and sisters. As for the second father, he is a farmer. He lives in the countryside and cannot help much. Apart from farming, he is not very good at other things. .

He wholeheartedly agreed to the old man's arrangement.

As for the old man's money, he had never cared about it. He didn't know what other people thought, but he knew what he thought.

As if thinking of something again, the taciturn Xu Guangjin suddenly took out money from his body, walked up to Xu Qing, and pulled out a relatively new dark blue 'two yuan' coin.

"Xiaoqing, take it, the lucky money!"

Seeing this, Xu Qing hurriedly stood up from his chair, waved his hand and said:
"Second dad, this is too much. Besides, I am working in a factory and can make money, so I don't need the new year's money."

This loyal and honest farmer looked at his nephew who was as tall as himself in front of him. The corners of his mouth moved slightly. He seemed to have a lot to say in his heart, but in the end he condensed the thousands of words into just two words: "Take it." !”

No matter how much Xu Qing refused, Xu Guangjin still used his thick hands that had been used to hold a hoe for half his life, crumpled the money into a ball, and stuffed it into his nephew's cotton-padded jacket.

Then he turned around and gave each of the three little guys sitting on the kang a newer "two yuan" lucky money.

It cost eight yuan at a time. Xu Guangjin didn't know how long he would have to work in the field with his hoe before he could throw it out.

In previous years, the New Year's money he gave them would not be so much.

After all, his family has to live a difficult life, and the situation in the village is not very good.

But this year, he gave "two yuan" alone, but he still felt that the lucky money for his nephew and niece was still a bit small.

The three little guys took the money and looked at the eldest brother in unison, but saw that the eldest brother was silent.

They said to Xu Guangjin in unison: "Thank you, Second Dad!"

Xu Qing can not want it himself, but the second father gives lucky money to his younger siblings. This is the elder's love for the younger generation, so they can't refuse it too.

The old man was smoking a cigarette, sitting on the kang, and glanced at his second son, with satisfaction in his eyes, but also a sense of relief.

Early the next morning, Xu Qing and grandma were busy making breakfast in the kitchen.

The third child wanted to help, but his second father, Xu Guangjin, stopped him on the kang.

Xu Guangjin took care of the fire on the stove today. At this time, this quiet man pushed Xu Aiguo who had run into the kitchen.

At this time, grandpa was sitting on the kang, leaning on the neatly folded quilt, hugging the little girl, teasing Xu Fengming, and was telling them interesting stories that happened in the village last year. The production team fell asleep while grazing the cattle, and the cattle ran all over the mountains and plains, crying loudly in fright.

The little girl stretched out her hand to play with her grandpa's beard, blinked her watery eyes, and her thoughts seemed to fly back to the village.

While Xu Fengming listened to his grandfather talking about the village affairs, he reached out and secretly pulled out a beard on his grandfather's chin.

The old man groaned in pain and was about to get angry in an instant. He reached back and wanted to grab the cigarette rod and hit it, but unexpectedly, he didn't touch it.

Realizing that he was left at home and didn't bring him to the city, he finally just let out a long sigh and gave up.

When the old party secretary brought the tractor driver from the production team into the city early in the morning, Xu Qing and his grandma had just finished making breakfast.

When Xu Qing saw the old party secretary and others coming, he quickly let them in and poured two tea jars of tea.

Then I brought the food to the front room with grandma, second dad and three little ones.

After breakfast, the old party secretary walked out of the house smoking a cigarette, followed the tractor driver out of the compound, and shook the tractor parked in the alley.

A sudden sound echoed through the alley instantly.

In the backyard, Xu Qing was talking to his grandparents and second dad in the house, while he put the cakes and other things he bought from the state-owned store yesterday, as well as two pairs of reading glasses, in a mesh bag and asked them to take them back.

At this time, everyone in the compound heard the movement of the tractor and walked out of their houses one after another.

Shazhu and Yuyu helped the old lady to the door of Xu Qing's house; the second uncle and the second aunt had also visited relatives during the New Year, and they walked to the door of Xu Qing's house with Xu Damao.

Together with Xu Qing, everyone sent the two old people outside the compound. As the old party secretary waved to the tractor driver, the tractor, which was emitting black smoke, carried the grandparents and the second father out along the alley.

The others returned to the courtyard, while Xu Qing and his three little ones followed the tractor out of the alley.

"Xiao Qing, take your brothers and sisters back, don't give them away."

The second father shouted to Xu Qing in a rare loud voice.

Xu Qing said loudly: "It's okay, Second Dad, we will see you off again."

Seeing this, the old party secretary asked the tractor driver to stop.

Let Xu Qing and the third child chat with their grandparents and second father for a few more words.

The old branch secretary waved his hand and said: "Xu Qing, please take your younger brothers and sisters back."

The tractor driver drove the tractor again and then continued walking.

Standing on the street, Xu Qing and San Xiaozhi saw the tractor turned into a black dot and disappeared from sight, then turned and went back to the yard.

In the past few days, Xu Qing has been borrowing Xu Damao's bicycle. After returning to the backyard, he thanked Xu Damao again and gave him another pack of cigarettes.

In any case, Xu Damao is indeed quite interesting in this matter!

Xu Damao was polite, unpacked the cigarettes Xu Qinggang gave him, and distributed them to the second uncle, Sha Zhu and Xu Qing.

The weather was nice today. Several people stood in the courtyard and chatted about the start of work in the factory tomorrow.

What Xu Qing is concerned about is, after the Chinese New Year, when the factory will conduct assessments after starting work.

He is still an apprentice, waiting to pass the assessment and become a full-time employee.

Only after becoming a full-time worker can his salary increase and he can be considered a regular worker.

Otherwise, if there is no assessment in the factory, he will have to be an apprentice for a few more months.

Xu Qing didn't mind at all if he continued to work as an apprentice.

The problem is that his salary will not increase until he becomes a regular employee.

Xu Qing was very concerned about this.

So, after listening quietly to Xu Damao and the three of them chatting for a long time, Xu Qing couldn't help but ask:
"Second uncle, Damao brother, Shazhu brother, when does our factory usually conduct the full-time assessment after spring starts?"
