Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 14 Five Phoenixes
"What are you two talking about? It's like an underground organization joint, mysterious."

Ma Jinghong pursed her mouth, looked back and forth between Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang, and frowned slightly, unable to understand.

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette proudly: "Fifth sister, I want to know. First, make us two cups of our dad's packet of Tieguanyin."

Ma Jinghong stared at Danfeng, stretched out her hand to twist Ma Jiefang's ear, and said angrily:
"You kid is going to rebel? Dare to command me, see if I don't beat you to death today!"

As the force on Ma Jinghong's hand increased, Ma Jiefang grinned in pain and quickly looked at Xu Qing for help.

Xu Qing smoothed things over and said, "Sister Jinghong, nothing happened. I just borrowed some food stamps from Jiefang two days ago."

"What are you doing with that thing?"

Ma Jinghong let go of Ma Jiefang's ears, looked at Xu Qing, suddenly stopped talking, turned and walked into the back room to make tea.

Ma Jiefang rubbed his slightly red ears, gritted his teeth, and looked sad.

"See, I'm not enjoying the blessings. The five elder sisters are all bullying me in different ways."

Xu Qing didn't answer, and secretly laughed beside him.

It is very common for siblings to fight and quarrel.

Xu Qing reached out and took out the ticket from the right pocket of his cotton trousers. At the same time, he added a one-dollar bill and placed it on the coffee table together.

Ma Jiefang saw that the ticket was nothing, but when he saw the money, he suddenly became confused.

"Brother Qingzi, are you going to slap me in the face?"

"Our relationship as brothers should not be so vulgar."

Taking advantage of Ma Jinghong's absence, Xu Qing panicked and briefly explained the matter.

After all, the truth cannot be told.

Ma Jiefang's eyes sparkled, he rubbed his hands and said with a smile:

"Brother Qingzi, you still have the ability to come up with such a way to make money. My eyes are dark and I never thought about it."

Ma Jiefang naturally didn't think about it. His parents both work, and three of his five older sisters are married.

But Xu Qing is different. The three children in the family are all dependent on him, and he doesn't want to do anything wrong.

Besides, there are still many people in Forty-Nine City who have money but have no tickets. They don't have to worry about eating and drinking, but they want to eat something good. They can't buy better things directly with the supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned stores with the money. arrive.

Therefore, the business of speculative traders and second-hand dealers was born.

It was getting dark outside the house.

Xu Qing took a look and felt that he was delayed on the road for too long today.

If it wasn't cold, he would have walked the distance for more than ten minutes before.

I looked back at the clock hanging on the wall of Ma Jiefang's house and realized that it was only 35:[-].

However, it is winter now, it gets dark early, and the weather is cold and freezing.

Xu Qing didn't dare to stay longer, and later on on the way back, he would buy horseshoe pancakes for San Xiaozhi. If he stayed too late, the roadside vendors might close their stalls.

Xu Qing stood up, straightened his clothes and said:

"Liberation, let's talk next time, my buddy is going home first."

Xu Qing turned his head and called out to Ma Jinghong who was in the back room.

"Sister Jinghong, I'm home, see you next time!"

"You've only been here for a while and you're leaving. Are you in such a hurry?"

Ma Jinghong walked out carrying two white enamel tea cups.

Seeing that Xu Qing was about to leave, a look of disappointment appeared on his face.

Ma Jiefang knew that Xu Qing missed his younger siblings at home.

Without saying anything, he got up and wrapped himself in a military overcoat, and sent Xu Qing out.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the two of them walked out of the courtyard, Ma Jinghong chased them with a white bag in her right hand.

"Take it, take it home and eat it!"

Xu Qing was stunned.

Ma Jiefang was also startled. When he saw his fifth sister putting something into Xu Qing's hands, she turned around and ran back.

Ma Jiefang chuckled, bumped Xu Qing's shoulder, and said:
"Dude, you're not talking nonsense, my Fifth Sister really likes you, look, she even gave you our white noodles."

Xu Qing didn't want it. Although life was hard, it was not to the point of needing help from others.

Besides, I exchanged the ticket with Xu Damao for five yuan and two last night. Although I gave Ma Jiefang one yuan, there was still four yuan and two left.

Money is not as tight as it used to be.

Ma Jiefang said: "Brother Qingzi, don't refuse. Just accept it. This is my fifth sister's kindness to you. If you don't take it, I will take it back later. My fifth sister will never stop with me." !"

"Then your family?" Xu Qing was a little embarrassed, after all, life is hard for anyone these days.

"It's okay. My fifth sister is the smartest and most shrewd among my sisters. If she can take it out, she must be fine."

Xu Qing was silent for a while, then had no choice but to accept it.

Because he has seen all five of Ma Jiefang's sisters.

The eldest sister is the most sensible, the second sister is the quietest, the third sister is more domineering but the most honest, and the fourth sister is the least seen. She only went to college and is very artistic.

As for this fifth sister, Xu Qing often sees her, so she is known to be very smart. In addition, she works in a cultural troupe, and she has a very graceful figure. Although it is winter, she wears a thick cotton jacket, but her exquisite curves are not covered up.

The sky was getting a little darker, the air was even more chilly, and the snow on the ground was frozen solid again.

Xu Qing waved at Ma Jiefang and said:
"Come back, let's talk next time!"

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette, hummed, but did not turn back.

"Brother Qingzi, if you don't want to buy big-ticket items such as radio air tickets and bicycle tickets, I can also get them."

They were all high school graduates with vivid minds. Xu Qing knew that Ma Jiefang was interested in that matter.

Throwing the cigarette butt on the snow, Xu Qing stamped it out and said:

"If you can get it, it should be no problem."

Xu Qing has the ability to divide into two, so naturally there is no problem, as long as he has a bicycle ticket, one can become two.

When the time comes, the original ticket will return to the original owner, and the parted one will be exchanged to Xu Damao.

However, Xu Qing was not sure whether Damao could swallow it.

After all, bicycle tickets are expensive, unlike food stamps, which cost only 62 yuan for 12 catties.

There is only one bicycle ticket, which costs forty or fifty at least. If the market catches up with it, it is not impossible to get it to hundreds.

These days, it is not easy to get a bicycle ticket. How many people are frugal and have saved enough money to buy a bicycle, but they are struggling to get a bicycle ticket.

Hearing Ma Jiefang's words at this time, Xu Qing was also moved in his heart. If he really got a bicycle ticket, he would be comfortable during the New Year this year.

Not only do you not have to worry, but you can also have a good New Year with the three little ones!
General Ma Liberation wrapped himself in his coat, stomped his feet and said:

“My cousin returned from serving in the army last year and is now assigned to work in the street office in my area.

Last month, I heard from my uncle that the street office seemed to have given him a bicycle ticket quota. I will find time to ask my cousin tomorrow. If he gets the ticket, I will lend it out. "

Xu Qing nodded.

However, it was too cold this day, and after standing for a short while, both of their feet were numb from the cold.

Xu Qing asked Ma Jiefang to go back to the house quickly, and he also hurried back to his compound.
