Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 142
The three little ones didn't have much feeling about the news that the elder brother had published in the newspaper.

In their eyes, whether the eldest brother is in the newspaper or not, he is the eldest brother they like.

On the contrary, the third master, the second aunt, and the first mother brought white noodles to the family, which made the little ones very happy.

Because white flour can steam steamed buns and fill your stomach.

That is, Xu Aiguo, who is older than the little girl and Feng Ming, can understand a little bit, knowing that the white noodles are all given by the three uncles in the courtyard because the eldest brother was published in the newspaper.

After all, they had never sent white noodles to their family before.

Although the little girl and Xu Fengming didn't quite understand, they were very happy. With more white noodles in the house, they could eat more steamed buns.

In the front room, the little girl and Xu Fengming put their heads together and ate a walnut, set aside half, ran into the kitchen with it, and handed it to Xu Qing and Xu Aiguo.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, eat walnuts."

The little girl smiled and handed the walnuts in her little hands to Xu Qing and Xu Aiguo, who were sitting in front of the stove and lighting the fire.

Xu Qing smiled, stretched out his hand to pinch the little girl's little nose, "You and your second brother will eat."

"Brother, why don't you eat some too, this is the last walnut in our family!"

Xu Qing had no choice but to pinch a small piece and stuff it into his mouth, thinking he had eaten it.

Xu Aiguo sat on the bench in front of the stove, scratched his head and divided the walnut kernels into three parts. He ate one part himself and let the little girl and Xu Fengming eat the rest.

It was only half a walnut, but no matter what, it was only enough to fit between the teeth.

But there's no other way, since there's nothing left in the house, we can only eat a little bit for each person, and it's considered satisfying.

After Xu Qing finished the dinner, the three little fellows skillfully helped to bring it to the kang in the front room.

While eating, Xu Qing saw that their schoolbags were taken back from the courtyard and placed in the corner of the kang, so he said:
"Aiguo, Feng Ming, Xiao Ya, after you finish your meal, remember to pack up your school supplies, red scarves, and handkerchiefs and put them into your schoolbags. You will start school the day after tomorrow."

The little girl bit the steamed bun, grinned and said: "Brother, I never lose everything, so I'm not like my third brother, his things, hehe."

Xu Fengming curled his lips, looked at the little girl, shook his head, and didn't care at all.

"Brother, don't worry, I will definitely not ask you to help me deliver things to school again this year."

Xu Qing looked at the little guy and said, "It's best this way, otherwise, brother, I'll have to ask for leave from the factory again."

Embarrassed, Xu Fengming bared his teeth and smiled, lowered his head, and quickly bit down on the steamed bun in his hand.

At eight o'clock in the evening, the three little guys stood in front of the Kang, each putting his own pen, pencil, brush, ink, abacus, and the red scarf and handkerchief ordered by his elder brother into his schoolbag.

Xu Fengming was the fastest. He stuffed it in at once, hung his schoolbag on the wall, turned around, grabbed the little book, and read it with relish.

Xu Qing has nothing to do about it, each person is different, and he can't correct it.

If Feng Ming, Xiao Ya Tou and Ai Guo could arrange everything in such an orderly manner, it would probably be harder than climbing to the sky.

But Xu Qing didn’t think there was anything wrong with this.

Everyone has their own personality. The little girl is quiet, patriotic and calm, while Feng Ming is lively, which is pretty good.

It was just that the third brother hurriedly packed the things into his schoolbag. Xu Qing felt that something was not right, so he walked over, opened the little guy's schoolbag, and wanted to help put the ink and abacus away.

In case the ink bottle is smashed by the corner of the abacus.

It's okay to waste ink in vain, I'm afraid that after the little guy arrives at school with his schoolbag on his back, the homework book will be dirty and useless.

When Xu Qing opened Xu Fengming's schoolbag, he was suddenly startled.

The little guy seemed to have stuffed everything into the schoolbag just now, but Xu Qing saw that the red scarf and handkerchief separated the two bottles of ink from the abacus.

The bottom of the schoolbag is stuffed with homework books, and two bottles of ink are placed on it.

Xu Qing turned to look at the third brother who was lying on the kang reading the little book and laughing. He suddenly felt that his third brother was rough and yet delicate. He seemed to be stuffing it casually, but in fact he was very careful.

Xu Qing was happy, and he didn't move much about the things in Xu Fengming's schoolbag, so he helped him adjust the homework book with the curled corners a little.

Before going to bed, the fire in the stove went out, and Xu Qing did not go outside to get briquettes to put in.

The weather has warmed up a lot, and this afternoon, when my second brother lit a fire on the kitchen stove to heat steamed buns, the kang was also very hot.

The stove in the front room no longer needs to be left burning all night.

After Xu Qing helped his younger siblings wash their feet and put them on the kang, he helped them tuck their quilts one by one as usual.

In the early morning, Xu Qing and Qin Huairu went to the factory together again.

Today Shazhu will help Yu Yu deliver bedrolls, thermos bottles and other items to school.

By the way, sign up for the rainwater.

So although Sha Zhu got up early in the morning, he was in the house at the moment, making breakfast for the rain.

Now that the fifteenth day of the first lunar month has passed, students will start school soon.

Walking in a quiet alley, Xu Qing and Qin Huairu chatted while heading towards the factory.

Now the sky is getting brighter day by day, Qin Huairu is no longer afraid, today just happened to come out of the house and meet Xu Qing.

But yesterday, she was waiting for Xu Qing specially.

On the street, vendors selling bean juice, stewed and fried liver took advantage of the early morning to start selling.

A lot of people had gathered in front of their stall.

Xu Qing didn't eat in the morning, but he didn't know how to buy it, and Qin Huairu was the same.

The family background is not very good, who is willing to spend money early in the morning.

But the fragrance is indeed tempting, floating everywhere on the street with the wind.

Regardless of whether it tastes good or not, for those who don't have anything in their stomachs, they can't help but want to take a look.

Xu Qing subconsciously quickened his pace, wanting to leave quickly.

Qin Huairu also had the same idea.

If anyone in the courtyard could afford to eat early in the morning, it was probably Xu Damao and the first man.

Xu Damao lives alone and earns a lot of money. In addition, he makes a living by tinkering with things after get off work in the afternoon.

With money in hand, I naturally want to eat whatever I want.

As for the elder man, who has no children, there are only him and the elder mother in the house, and the salary is high, so he can afford it.

It's just that the elder rarely eats out. In the morning, he always asks the aunt to heat up two steamed buns and make a bowl of egg soup.

Almost all the money I earned was saved.

There is no child or daughter, the elder brother and the elder mother should not make early plans for their retirement in the future.

Soon Xu Qing and Qin Huairu walked into the factory, then said goodbye and went to their respective workshops.

Today Xu Qing worked alone for another day.

Master Lao Zhang had been free for a day, so he sat aside and smoked.

Just before getting off work in the afternoon.

Lao Zhang looked at his apprentice and wanted to tell his story about going home with the newspaper yesterday and discussing with his wife about promising the sixth girl to him.

But after thinking about it, I thought it would be better to wait until Xu Qing becomes a full-time employee next month before mentioning it.

Don't let the disciple be distracted by this matter.

Lao Zhang didn't know whether his apprentice would agree to this marriage.

He never mentioned it to Xu Qing, he just made his own calculations in his mind.

Last year before Chinese New Year, when the apprentice came to visit him, his wife asked some questions, but Xu Qing didn't answer.

For a while, Lao Zhang couldn't figure out why.

People of his age don't know much about men and women.

Lao Zhang stood up, looked at Xu Qing again, and saw his apprentice working seriously.

Then he turned around and walked outside the workshop, and went to Ma Guohua to talk about it.
