Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 168 Er Mazi Gets Married

On the eighth day of May, the weather was sunny and warm.

After Shazhu from the Zhongyuan got up early, he ran to the backyard to say hello to Xu Qing who had just gotten out of bed.

"Qingzi, brother, I went to Ermazi's house to take the spoon first. Remember to bring the little ones here early at noon. Don't let me cook all the dishes, you haven't arrived yet."

After Si Zhu finished speaking, he turned around and hurried away without waiting for Xu Qing to respond.

Er Mazi made an appointment with Shazhu five days ago and asked him to help cook the wedding banquet.

Today coincided with the weekend, and Shazhu happened to be off work, so he readily agreed.

Anyway, if he can make money, and he cares about food, wine and cigarettes, Sha Zhu will naturally not refuse.

And at that time, I can drink two glasses of wedding wine, get happy and have a lot of fun.

This is even more joyful for Shazhu.

Compared to Xu Damao's stealthy and secretive job as a second-hand dealer, Shazhu's earning some extra money with his skills is much more legitimate.

At the very least, Shazhu doesn't have to worry about the risk of being caught, and at the same time, he makes a lot of money.

On such a day, at least two or three dollars are available.

If the host wants to have a happy occasion and good things come in pairs, if he gives a little more, four yuan is still a safe deal.

Of course, there are not many opportunities for Shazhu to encounter such a thing.

Except for the people in the factory and the vicinity of the area, the number of times that silly pillars are hired in other places can be counted on the fingers throughout the year.

The children of high-ranking cadres usually find famous restaurants to hold wedding banquets directly because of their attention to arrangement.

And those who don't know Sha Zhu, naturally find someone else to do it.

But at Er Mazi's wedding banquet, the stupid pillar was decided, so no one else could get involved.

Xu Qing was busy making breakfast for his younger siblings in the kitchen, but when he heard Sha Zhu's words, he had just left the house when he disappeared.

Xu Qing had no choice but to enter the house and continue to work on breakfast.

It's just that Sha Zhu's yelling outside the house just now woke up all the three little ones lying on the kang.

Today they were able to have the wedding banquet with their eldest brother. As soon as the three little ones woke up, they immediately put on their clothes, folded the bedding neatly, tidied the bed, and then slipped off the bed one by one, washed their faces and brushed their teeth.

Xu Qing's breakfast was simpler, he only cooked millet porridge.

For lunch, I have to save some stomach, so I can have a big meal.

Er Mazi is not a stranger, so there is no need to be polite to him!

Of course, Xu Qing also had to give the money.

After the little girl brushed her teeth, she turned her head and grinned, revealing her white teeth, and asked her second brother to help her see if they were clean.

Xu Aiguo spit out the mouthwash, used a towel to help his sister wipe off the tooth powder on the corner of her mouth, and nodded.

“Extremely clean!”

The little girl smiled instantly, happily put the toothbrush into the tea mug and went back to the house.

Xu Fengming finished brushing his teeth in a hurry, wiped the corner of his mouth with his right hand, stood up and entered the house.

Xu Qingsheng took the cooked millet porridge, brought it out of the kitchen, and put it on the table in the front room. The four brothers and sisters, each with a bowl, sat around and drank.

Since it was still early, Xu Qing asked his younger siblings to review their lessons in the room for a while.

It was after ten o'clock before they were asked to change clothes and go out.

At this time, Xu Damao had been preparing himself all morning and was also pushing his bicycle to go out.

But he was looking for someone to play with, and he was not with Xu Qing, so at the entrance of the alley, they were divided.

Xu Qing took the little girl and took his second and third brothers along the street towards Er Mazi's house.

Today is for a wedding, and the four brothers and sisters are in a good mood.

The three little guys were even more excited and looking forward to it.

Just after eleven o'clock, Xu Qing and the three little ones arrived at Er Mazi's house. They thought they were early, but they didn't expect that Wang Dequan, Zhou Pingtai and their master, Lao Zhang, had arrived earlier.

The compound of Er Mazi's house was full of people coming and going, very lively.

Sha Zhu, who is the chef in charge, is directing several relatives of Er Mazi's family, busy preparing meals for the banquet.

Er Mazi was nowhere to be seen, and his elder brother was also absent, presumably he accompanied Er Mazi to meet the bride.

Xu Qing was entertained by Er Mazi's father, an old man Diao, who was just in his early fifties, but with white hair and a vicissitudes of life. He seemed to be in his 60s, and no one objected.

As for his real name, Xu Qing didn't know, maybe he didn't even have one. In the old society, children from poor families were not as particular about their names as scholars, or they just gave them random nicknames and used them for the rest of their lives.

Old man Diao has never used the official name of household registration in his life.

Occasionally, the old man Diao would agree when called out by others, but the acquaintances were usually called Xiaoming or Lao Diao.

Xu Qing didn't know, so he could only call "Uncle."

The three little ones also shouted in unison: "Hello, uncle."

The old man Diao was at a loss for a while, but fortunately there was Lao Zhang. As soon as Lao Zhang introduced him, the old man Diao hurriedly said enthusiastically:

"My son often mentions you, and he is really energetic. Come and sit in the room!"

While talking, the old man Diao took out a cigarette, handed it to Xu Qing, and then handed it to Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming.

The old man is honest, today is the day when his son is very happy, and he doesn't know whether Xu Qing's younger brother smokes or not, anyway, it must be right to give it.

After handing out the cigarettes, he grabbed a handful of melon seeds and fruit candies and stuffed them into the little girl's hands. Then he led Xu Qing and his siblings into the house and let his wife entertain them.

He turned back and left the house, and started to greet other people in the courtyard.

Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters sat on the edge of the kang. Aiguo and Fengming took the initiative to give the cigarettes they had just received to their elder brother, then turned to eat melon seeds with the little girl.

Lao Zhang pulled up a chair, sat opposite Xu Qing, smoked a cigarette, and looked at Xu Aiguo, Xu Fengming and the little girl.

Seeing the three little guys, who were not very old, Lao Zhang turned his head and looked at his apprentice.

Suddenly felt a little sad in his heart, secretly felt that it was not easy for the apprentice, he himself was still a child, and he had to drag three younger brothers and sisters, the days could be imagined.

Fortunately, the apprentice was upbeat, and passed the factory's regularization assessment in the beginning of spring this year.

Otherwise, the situation at home must be even worse.

It's just that there's nothing else he can do to help. As an apprentice, he has taught almost everything he can.

The only thing left is that in the future, if the apprentice wants to separate from Ma Guohua's daughter, he can marry his sixth son to him.

Although his wife was not very willing from the bottom of her heart, Lao Zhang insisted.

Lao Zhang, who is a master, has been with Xu Qing day and night for almost a year, and he feels that his apprentice has a bad temper towards him.

On the contrary, the factory has never let go of the apprentice's publication in the newspaper. Every time he thinks about it, Lao Zhang can't help but want to scold him a few words.

But today Er Mazi was getting married, and Lao Zhang didn't want to spoil the fun too much. After chatting with Xu Qing for a while, he got up and went outside to get some fresh air.

Half an hour later, someone stood in the courtyard and shouted loudly that the bride-to-be was back.

Xu Qing quickly walked out of the house with the three cubs, and followed the crowd towards the outside of the courtyard.
