Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 182
After chatting with Ma Jiefang for a few minutes, Xu Qing went to the third workshop.

In the third workshop, Er Mazi arrived early.

He still has to go to work today, but starting from tomorrow, he will take four consecutive days off.

Perhaps because of the newlywed Yaner, Er Mazi came to work very early these days.

Of course, it doesn't rule out that Chen Xiaojuan pulled him out of the bed by twisting his ears.

Xu Qing walked into the workshop, and within a few words with Er Mazi, Lao Zhang, Zhou Pingtai, and Wang Dequan also walked into the workshop.

Because they hadn't rang the bell yet, everyone was chatting for a while in the workshop.

The topic naturally revolved around Er Mazi.

Er Mazi had just gotten married, so Zhou Pingtai and Wang Dequan would definitely have to tease Menzi with him.

"Er Mazi, you've been slacking off at work these past few days and dozed off. Don't tell me you've been messing with your wife since you don't sleep at night."

As Wang Dequan spoke, he looked at Er Mazi with a wink.

Zhou Pingtai stood aside and said with a smile: "Er Mazi must have been busy all night, and his calves are trembling. He must have worked hard last night!"

Lao Zhang sat far away, too lazy to listen to their dirty talk. He smoked a cigarette and whispered to Xu Qing:
"The factory manager came to you the day before yesterday to ask for something to do?"

Xu Qing hummed, "The factory director said that the factory wanted to inspect me for three years before bringing it up, but I settled the matter myself, and it is estimated that in a few days, I can directly raise it."

Hearing this, Lao Zhang looked at Xu Qing's eyes, opened them wide suddenly, and then returned to normal.

Taking a puff of cigarette lightly, with a smile on his face, he stretched out his hand to pat Xu Qing on the head and said:

"Brat, I know your future!"

Xu Qing chuckled and scratched his head.

Lao Zhang also grinned happily, and said earnestly: "In the future, no matter where you are, no matter what you do, you must be serious, and you must not be careless. Don't be arrogant when you think you have done it. Always remember, you Why did you enter the factory?"

Xu Qing nodded and kept what Lao Zhang said in his heart.

In the afternoon, the factory arranged for someone to take Xu Qing to go through various procedures for promotion.

Xu Qing works as a fitter in the workshop, which belongs to the technical level, but after being promoted, he will be transferred to the administrative level.

Since Xu Qing was already a first-level fitter, the factory decided to consider Xu Qing as a seventh-level clerk.

The salary standard for the seventh-level clerk is 37 yuan.

It is only two yuan more than the 35 yuan and a half salary of a first-level fitter in Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and the seventh-level clerks were just the seventh-level clerks.

Although it's not as good as a fifth-level clerk who just graduated from college (salary is 49 yuan), Xu Qing doesn't mind.

However, the various procedures are relatively cumbersome, requiring layers of approval, signing and agreeing, and finally submitting to the organization for review.

In addition, Xu Qing's family background needs to be strictly scrutinized.

Fortunately, for Xu Qing's family, the ingredients have always been good, and there is no problem.

In the village in the countryside, the old party secretary received the telegram from Xu Qing, and immediately helped Xu Qing write the certificate, then went to the commune to stamp it, and asked someone to take it to the city as soon as possible.

At the same time, the street office of the compound also issued a certificate to Xu Qing.

However, despite this, it was almost a busy week after all.

After finishing all these tasks, Xu Qing succeeded in doing it.

The loudspeaker in the factory informed the whole factory of what Xu Qingti had done.

Everyone in the third workshop was happy for Xu Qing.

Anyway, Xu Qing walked out from the third workshop.

If they have anything to do in the future, they can talk to Xu Qing.

And Xu Qing was assigned to be responsible for the affairs of several workshops on the fitter's side.

Arguably, he didn't quite leave.

The reason why the factory arranged it this way was because Xu Qing was familiar with the work of fitters.

When you get to work, you can get started directly.

As for Xu Qing's office space, it was changed from a workshop to an office for six people.

Xu Qing no longer needs to operate the clamping table. From now on, he only needs to count the production progress of each clamping workshop every day, and coordinate and deal with some problems that occur in the workshop.

After getting off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing rode Xu Damao's bicycle, returned to the compound with Ma Jiefang, Er Mazi, and Sha Zhu, and invited them to a celebratory meal in the house.

Er Mazi took two bottles of white wine, Sha Zhu cooked vegetables, Xu Damao got a catty of wild pork, I don't know how he got it, but it tasted better than domestic pigs anyway.

Xu Qing originally prepared pork, plus the wild boar meat that Xu Damao got. For this meal, he cooked four dishes of meat and vegetables. The three little ones followed the big brother, their mouths were full of oil, and they were very happy.

The three little guys don't know much about the significance of the eldest brother's promotion.

But today's meal was delicious for them.

In Jia's house in the middle courtyard, Stick Grow was lying on the crescent door between the middle courtyard and the backyard, sticking his head out to look around Xu Qing's house.

The Xu Qing family eats meat, how can they not be greedy?

But he didn't even dare to step into the backyard, for fear that Xu Fengming would run out and beat him up.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting at the door of her house in the middle courtyard, feeling unspeakably puzzled in her heart. She couldn't understand why Xu Qing actually did it.

When Xu Qing passed the examination for becoming a full-time employee as an apprentice, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt depressed, thinking that her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu hadn't even become a full-time employee, so why did Xu Qing become a full-time employee first?

Now that Xu Qing has been promoted again, Jia Zhang feels unspeakably jealous.

But jealousy is jealousy, what can she do?

Jia Zhang stood up, walked to the Crescent Gate, dragged the stick back to her house, and asked Qin Huairu:

"Huairu, do you know why Xu Qing asked for help?"

Qin Huairu sewed the sticky schoolbag while saying: "Xu Qing's family was published in the newspaper a while ago and contributed to our factory's publicity, so the factory decided to promote him!"

Jia Zhang sat on the edge of the Kang, looked at Qin Huairu who was doing needlework, thought for a moment and said:
"If you are in the newspaper, can you also be promoted?"

Qin Huairu was startled for a moment, pinched the needle in his hand, and thought for a moment: "Maybe, but the main thing is to contribute to the factory, otherwise even if it is published in the newspaper, it will probably be useless."

Jia Zhang had a look of disappointment on her face, turned her head and glanced at her paralyzed son Jia Dongxu, and sighed secretly.

Jia Dongxu leaned against the quilt and sat on the kang, knowing what Jia Zhang was thinking, he suddenly said: "Mom, don't think about it, it's not so easy to get a job in the factory. If it's simple, the second uncle in the backyard will I didn’t mention it earlier.”

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't speak, and after rolling her eyes for a while, she walked into the kitchen silently, and was busy with dinner.

Yi Zhonghai, the elder who lives in the same courtyard, thought of today's result on the day Xu Qing appeared in the newspaper some time ago.

Otherwise, he would not have asked the aunt to bring a bowl of white noodles to Xu Qing.

Similarly, the third uncle in the front yard and the second uncle in the backyard also thought of this.

So, on that day, Xu Qing received three bowls of white noodles.

It's just that the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, envied Xu Qing very much in his heart. He had worked hard in the factory for more than ten years, but he couldn't do it.

Xu Qing had only been in the factory for less than a year, so he was promoted.

How could he balance the center of his bangs? He was sitting alone in his house, drinking wine and eating fried peanuts given by his second aunt to drown his sorrows.

Brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu took the opportunity to eat some peanuts, but they did not dare to provoke Liu Haizhong.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing and Shazhu sent Ma Jiefang and Er Mazi away.

As for Xu Damao, he had already drank some tea and fell unconscious. He was lying on the kang of Xu Qing's house and fell asleep.

After Xu Qing sent Ma Jiefang and Er Mazi away, he stood in the middle courtyard, exchanged greetings with Shazhu for a while, and then walked back to the backyard.

Back in the house, Xu Qing packed up the bowls and chopsticks on the table, as well as empty wine bottles and other things into the kitchen with his younger siblings, and then helped the drunk Xu Damao back to his room.
After coming out of Xu Damao's house, Xu Qing closed the door, sat at the door of his own house, looked up at the bright moon in the night sky, and quietly smoked.

The bright moonlight, cold and silent, looks very bright in the dark night.

After washing her feet, the little girl came out of the house holding a stool.

"Brother, I will watch the moon with you."

While talking, the little girl put the bench beside Xu Qing and sat down, resting her cheeks with her hands, raised her head and looked at the bright moon with her watery eyes.

After a while, the little guys Xu Fengming and Xu Aiguo also walked out of the room with benches in hand, and sat down next to their elder brother Xu Qing.

The four brothers and sisters enjoy the moon quietly together.

Today is indeed a happy day.

Xu Qing's heart was bright and excited.

Even after drinking, he wasn't drunk at all.

After being promoted, my salary increased by two yuan, and my family's life will be better in the future.

Xu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he remembered that Er Mazi had been drinking before and insisted on giving him a dollar after his salary was paid.

When he first joined the factory, Xu Qing’s salary was lower than Ermazi’s. After he became a full-time employee, he equaled it, and now he surpasses Ermazi.

Er Mazi had some small emotions in his heart, Xu Qing could understand.

After all, they are workers who have been together day and night for almost a year in the same workshop.

Thinking in another place, from Er Mazi's point of view, Xu Qing didn't dare to say that he had no emotions at all.

Xu Qing didn't take Er Mazi's drunken words to heart either.

If you are drunk, how can you take it seriously.

The three little ones were already sleepy, but the eldest brother was happy, so they cheered up and stayed with him.

Tomorrow is the weekend and the little ones don’t have to get up early to go to school, so it’s okay to go to bed late.

In addition, now in May, the weather is getting hotter every day, and it is quite cool to sit in the courtyard and blow the evening breeze.

At the same time, the sound of insects could be faintly heard from the corner of the courtyard.

Xu Fengming sat quietly for 10 minutes, then couldn't sit still, and yawned again and again, but wanted to stay in the yard with his eldest brother for a while, so he turned around and ran into the house, took out a flashlight, and walked to the base of the wall in the yard , get ready to catch those chirping crickets.

But he held the flashlight, and as soon as he walked over, the crickets were so frightened that they stopped screaming.

There was a moment of silence in the backyard.

The little girl didn't go to play with her, her little head was leaning on Xu Qing's body, her chin was still resting on her hands, and she was ecstatically looking at the moon in the night sky.

Xu Aiguo, like the little girl, sat on Xu Qing's left, looked up at the bright moon, and recited the ancient poems related to the bright moon in a low voice in his heart.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing got up, took the little girl and second brother back to the house with the bench, and at the same time called the third brother who was still squatting by the wall to go back to the house.

The little guy caught two crickets, held them in his hands, ran into the house with a happy face, found an empty wine bottle, put it in, poked a few holes on the cap with a shoe-sole needle, Arrange on the table.

After Xu Qing turned off the lights, the room was pitch black, and the crickets in the bottle started chirping again.

Xu Qing felt annoyed. The little girl and Xu Aiguo, like Xu Fengming, pillowed their heads on pillows, closed their eyes, and fell asleep listening to the crisp chirping of insects.

Some time ago, the little girl used apricot blossoms to bring spring into the house.

Tonight, Xu Fengming put summer in a bottle in advance and brought it into the house.

Xu Qing was lying flat on the kang, thinking of his younger brothers and sisters' innocence, brilliance and childishness, and couldn't help but sigh to himself that only they could grasp the four seasons.

As for me, I am busy with work and making money to support my family, and I have almost no time to take into account the flow of spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Every month, only when wages are paid, do I suddenly think, oh, the month is over so quickly.

Accompanied by the sound of insects, Xu Qing fell asleep unconsciously.

When he woke up in the morning, Xu Qing turned around and saw the three little ones beside him, still immersed in their sweet sleep, so he didn't disturb them.

After getting dressed, I tiptoed down to the kang, looked at the empty wine bottle on the table, and found the two crickets lying limply on the bottom of the bottle, I don't know if they were tired from crying all night, or fell asleep at dawn.

Xu Qing didn't touch the bottle, went outside the house, stretched his waist, looked at the early dawn, and suddenly felt that the days were getting more and more hopeful.

At around eight o'clock, after Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters had breakfast, they put the clothes that needed to be washed into the wash basin and sat in the courtyard to wash them with the little girl.

The weather was clear and cloudless.

Not only Xu Qing was washing clothes, but the second aunt also came out of the house with the laundry tub and sat in the courtyard to wash clothes.

While helping to change the water, Xu Aiguo wrung out the washed clothes and Xu Fengming, and hung them on the clothesline.

When Xu Damao walked out of his house with his hair pressed into a chicken nest, Xu Fengming was already holding a piece of weed and fighting crickets with Silly Zhu in the yard.

And at this moment, it was past eleven o'clock at noon.

The little girl and Xu Aiguo stood beside Xu Fengming, helping to cheer.

The two boys Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's house couldn't bear it after watching it for a long time, so they went out to catch crickets with the sticks in the middle yard.

Xu Damao held a cigarette in his mouth, reached out and combed his hair twice, and when he came closer, he saw Sha Zhu looking like he was sure of winning, and he suddenly became angry.

Last night, while drinking, Xu Damao quarreled with Sha Zhu. Sha Zhu drank a lot of wine and slept all night. Now he still has a headache.

Xu Damao sat aside, cheered Xu Fengming a few times, then reached out and took out a bag of big front door, slapped the ground, put it on the long table in the courtyard and said:
"Silly Zhu, if you dare to come and bring the lottery, I'll win over Feng Ming. If your little cricket loses, I'll give you a big bag for the front door."

Silly Zhu raised his eyelids, glanced at Xu Damao, and immediately said with a chuckle: "Xu Damao, this is because you insist on giving me cigarettes. If you lose, don't let me take advantage of you."

Xu Damao gave Shazhu a disdainful look, turned to Xu Qing and said, "Qingzi, come and bear witness."
