Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 165 Ma Jinghong is Jealous

Xu Qing just entered the kitchen and remembered the few apricot flowers the little girl had brought back. He hurriedly went out, found an empty wine bottle, filled it with water, and inserted the apricot flowers into it.

Now is the season when apricot flowers are in bloom. If the broken apricot flowers are not properly taken care of, they will wither and fall within a day or two.

With apricot blossoms in the house, it is like a little girl who seems to have brought back spring.

At about two o'clock, Xu Qing prepared lunch, woke up the three little ones who were sleeping on the kang in the front room, and asked them to eat quickly.

The three sleepy little ones, rubbing their eyes, sat up from the kang, woke up for a while, and then slipped off the kang one by one. After washing their hands, they sat at the table and had lunch.

In the afternoon Xu Qing was going to meet Ma Jinghong, so after lunch, he changed into clean clothes and asked Aiguo to play in the yard with his younger siblings.

Before Xu Qing left, he specifically told his third brother Xu Fengming:

"Try not to fight with sticks in the yard today!"

Xu Fengming stood at the door of the house with bared teeth, holding his precious kite, and said with a smile:
"Don't worry, brother, I won't hit him today."

The little guys were playing together in the morning, but it would be a bit unreasonable to have a fight in the afternoon.

Although it was always BangGeng who took the initiative to pick things up, Xu Qing didn't want his younger brother to bear the reputation of having no tutor.

Xu Qing doesn't care about sticks and bad manners, he has Qin Huairu, Jia Dongxu, and Jia Zhang's in charge.

But Xu Fengming is his younger brother, so Xu Qing must pay more attention.

Hearing the little guy's assurance, Xu Qing turned around and walked out of the backyard, heading out of the compound.

The meeting with Ma Jinghong was scheduled last week. Within 5 minutes of Xu Qing arriving at the appointed place, Ma Jiefang arrived on a bicycle with his fifth sister.

Ma Jiefang had never been here before for a date, and today he couldn't stay idle in the house, so he came along with him.

Anyway, he and Xu Qing were old classmates, and now they are colleagues. If it was someone else, even if Ma Jinghong dragged him, they might not come.

After all, he knew Xu Qing earlier than his fifth sister.

As soon as Ma Jiefang's bicycle stopped and Ma Jinghong got off, he winked at Xu Qing, took out a cigarette and threw one to Xu Qing, saying:
"Brother Qingzi, you guys chat, I'll go over and buy you soda."

After that, Ma Jiefang rode his bicycle very wisely and disappeared from the sight of Xu Qing and Ma Jinghong.

Seeing each other once a week, both Xu Qing and Ma Jinghong cherish it.

In the past, when he had no partner, Xu Qing would take the initiative to go to her house to find Ma Jiefang from time to time, but now he can't go.

Ever since Ma Guohua found out about the two of them, Xu Qing was a little embarrassed to go. If he met Ma Guohua, it would be embarrassing.

Although Ma Guohua didn't object, he didn't say he supported it either, so he turned a blind eye and let nature take its course.

As for Ma Jinghong's mother, she is still kept in the dark.

But as time goes by, some clues will inevitably be noticed.

Xu Qing didn't think about what to do by then, and neither did Ma Jinghong.

But right now, the two of them don't want to think about it that much.

Wouldn't it be boring to think too much? If love adds too much weight, it will be tiring.

When it's time for a showdown, it's a natural showdown. As the saying goes, the boat is naturally straight ahead.

Besides, Xu Qing is now a first-level fitter. He will work hard to be promoted to the second level next year and to the third level the year after that. By then, the level will increase and the salary will increase. Even if Ma Jinghong’s mother knew about it, she would probably not object even if she objected. Too strong.

What's more, Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang, this powerful assistant placed inside their family, might slowly agree.

At this time, there was no Ma Jiefang. Xu Qing and Ma Jinghong looked at each other, then pursed their lips and smiled at the same time. They stepped together and walked around the neighborhood in a connected manner.

In the afternoon sun, the two talked about interesting things that happened at work recently.

Ma Jinghong told Xu Qing what her girlfriends had said about Shazhu last time in Shichahai.

"Comrade He Yuzhu in your compound, you know, my friends, they said, he is a good old man, old and good!"

Ma Jinghong playfully put her hands behind her and walked forward happily for a few steps, then turned around and walked slowly backwards while looking at Xu Qing with a smile.

Xu Qing was not surprised at all.

How could a girl from the art troupe be interested in a chef?

It's just that there are exceptions to everything, Xu Qing still prefers to give it a try and let Sha Zhu go to Shichahai with him last time.

But in the end, there was obviously no miracle.

Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, He Yuzhu from our hospital has experienced this kind of thing a lot, and the last time it shouldn't be considered a formal blind date."

Ma Jinghong nodded and said, "Then he will be sad. None of my friends like him."

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then hummed.

"I guess it will. I finally met a group of beautiful girls. If you don't feel sad at all, it's fake."

Ma Jinghong stopped and nodded again. When Xu Qing came up, she turned around and walked along the road with Xu Qing, chatting about other things while slowly continuing to move forward.

During several dates, Ma Jinghong and Xu Qing's relationship gradually heated up, which led to a problem, that is, she got closer to Xu Qing.

That kind of closeness does not come from the soul, nor from physical contact, but from an emotional closeness. It is not like the shy distance she had with her brother Ma Jiefang, but it is not the shy distance when she first established the relationship with Xu Qing.

It's more like a pebble falling into water, causing ripples on the surface of the water, but instead of spreading outward, it approaches inward.

Suddenly, Ma Jinghong asked Xu Qing an unexpected question.

"Xu Qing, do you think my best friends are good-looking?"

Xu Qing's mind reacted quickly, and his brain was running at five times the usual speed.

Then, it crashed.

"Good-looking." Xu Qing thought for a long time before saying this word, and then said: "But they are still a little behind you!"

"Hmph, I knew you would say that."

Ma Jinghong showed an uncertain look, which made Xu Qing suddenly feel that something was wrong.

This is not a good sign, it is very much like a sign that heavy rain is coming and the wind is blowing all over the building.

"You know, after I let them meet you last weekend, they have been discussing you almost every day this week, and that's all. Their eyes are still shining, which makes me so angry."

"I should have known, I wouldn't have taken them with me last time." Ma Jinghong pursed her lips, like a little girl who was sulking all by herself because her things were missed by others.

The word 'jealous' popped out of Xu Qing's mind.

"She's actually jealous because of this little thing, haha"

Xu Qing felt happy in his heart, but after thinking about it for a while, he felt it was not the case.

She is an ordinary worker, and Jinghong's best friends all work in the art troupe. According to common sense, the people they can like are the children of high-ranking cadres.

Of course, Jinghong is an exception. She can like herself because she conquered it with her strength and personality charm.

Xu Qing is not a narcissistic person, but he does not have low self-esteem either.

It's just that Xu Qing recalled the situation in Shichahai last time, and secretly felt that it was Sha Zhu who had set off himself invisibly.

The contrast between Silly Zhu's young and mature appearance and his own sunny image is indeed too obvious.

While Xu Qing was thinking, Ma Jinghong took advantage of the fact that there was no one around, stretched out her white and slender right hand, and twisted Xu Qing's arm.

"My mother is right, no man is good!"
