Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 229 Lou Xiaoe comes over

Xu Qing sharpened the scissors for a while, and seeing that they were sharp, he put them aside, turned to the little girl and asked:

"Xiaoya, do you like reading?"

The little girl leaned against Xu Qing, tilted her head, thought for a while and said, "Brother, I don't like it, but I don't find it annoying either. It's just that every time the teacher loses me because I don't do well in the exam, it's very annoying."

Xu Qing smiled and pinched the little girl's nose with his hand, saying: "The teacher criticizes you because he (she) is responsible and for your own good, and thinks that you can make a difference in your studies.

If one day he doesn’t say anything to you and doesn’t care about you, it means that he has given up on you. After all, you study for yourself, and whether your studies are good or bad has nothing to do with him. "

The little girl murmured, "But, brother, you don't know, I have been criticized several times recently, which makes me very depressed."

"What are you depressed about? Study hard and do well in your exams. Your teacher won't scold you."

"Hee hee, that's true!"

The little girl grinned and rubbed her head against Xu Qing's body like a kitten.

Xu Qing stayed with the little girl at the door of the house for a while, seeing that it was getting late, she urged the little girl to wash her feet and go to bed.

Fast forward to the beginning of June.

Xu Damao started to get busy with his marriage, and the courtyard became lively.

Xu Damao's parents who lived outside came to the courtyard these two days to tidy up Xu Damao's house inside and out, and at the same time prepared new bedding, and looked at all the furniture that needed to be replaced. Bought new ones.

Everyone in the compound, who can help, also helps.

There is a happy event in the courtyard, so naturally there will be a lot of excitement.

The eldest son of the middle courtyard became the butler of Xu Damao's wedding banquet. In any case, he was the eldest son of the courtyard. This kind of thing naturally fell on Yi Zhonghai.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, can write well, so he helped Xu Damao write the wedding invitations and tomorrow's gift list.

As for Liu Haizhong, he doesn't know many words, let alone writing, and his identity is only the second uncle in the courtyard. He can only sit next to Yan Bugui tomorrow and help Xu Damao collect gifts.

For the rest, if you can help with a little help, if you can't, just sit and wait for the wedding tomorrow.

Without any suspense, Sha Zhu became Xu Damao's master chef at tomorrow's wedding banquet. The first mother, second aunt, and third mother will help out when the time comes.

Xu Qing, on the other hand, was entrusted with an important task by Xu Damao and asked to go with him to pick up Lou Xiao'e's family tomorrow.

Originally, Xu Damao planned to ask Xu Qing to help him collect the gift money. After all, he and Xu Qing had a good relationship. In terms of money, he must find a reliable person.

But because the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, lived in the backyard with him, and was still in charge of the backyard, so he had to leave the matter of receiving the gift money to him.

Of course, Xu Damao's father also found relatives in the family, and tomorrow he will sit with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to receive the gift money.

In this way, Xu Damao had nothing to worry about, so he asked Xu Qing to go to Lou Xiaoe's house with him tomorrow morning.

Xu Qing agreed straight away, anyway, this job is not tiring, and he can still go to Lou Xiaoe's house tomorrow to see the lively scene over there.

In the evening, Xu Damao brought cigarettes, wine, and some appetizers to Xu Qing's house. He called Si Zhu, Yan Jiecheng, and the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to sit on the Kang of Xu Qing's house, drinking and talking about tomorrow. some specific matters.

"Silly Zhu, you have to prepare the food for my wedding banquet tomorrow, before Qingzi and I bring people back, and the leaders of the factory are also here, waiting for the banquet to start, you are not done yet."

Silly Zhu smoked a cigarette, rolled his eyes at Xu Damao and said:

"Xu Damao, if you don't worry and find someone else to do it, I won't wait for you, and I won't ask you. When have I missed other people's business on such occasions?"

Xu Damao puffed on his cigarette, glanced at Sha Zhu twice, put his arms around Sha Zhu's shoulders and said:
"Look at what you said, your craftsmanship is well-known in our factory, how can I worry about it, I'm just afraid that you won't be able to handle it all by yourself, if you feel that there are not enough people to help you, I will go to the middle court later, Let Qin Huairu help you tomorrow too."

Silly Zhu snorted, sensing that Xu Damao was referring to something else, he waved his hand directly and said:
"Come on, do you know what your old man told me a few days ago? Don't let me follow you and cover the food and drinks for your wedding banquet.

If it wasn't for the sake of our courtyard, I wouldn't agree.

I work for others for a day, and I have three or four yuan, which is not counted as stuffed cigarettes and alcohol. "

Sha Zhu directly attacked Xu Damao.

Sha Zhu rarely talked in circles in his head, he always thought of what to say, Xu Damao and his son were plotting against him like this, feeling depressed, how could they be happy.

Xu Damao knew that Shazhu was a little upset, so he said quickly:
"Silly Zhu, we are from the same compound. We are brothers. If we mention that, we are just talking about it, right?"

Although Xu Damao and Shazhu usually don't get along well, tomorrow is his wedding day.

Sha Zhu, a ready-made cook, didn't use it for nothing. Although he was not allowed to follow along, he actually took advantage of it.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he turned to Xu Qing and said, "Qingzi, do you think so?"

Xu Qing didn't answer, he picked up the wine cup and motioned for everyone to drink together.

Because no matter what he said, one of Xu Damao and Silly Zhu would be unhappy, so it would be better not to say anything.

The two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were sitting at Xu Qing's house, as if they were on pins and needles, not daring to talk casually. Seeing Xu Qing raising his glass, they honestly followed suit.

Early the next morning.

After Xu Qing got up early, he changed into clean clothes and said to the little girl:

"Xiaoya, when your second brother and your third brother come back at noon, tell them that they will have a wedding banquet together then."

The little girl nodded and said hummingly: "Brother, I know."

Xu Qing wanted to say something more, but Xu Damao urged him outside the house, so he had to go out quickly.

Everyone in the compound got up very early today, Xu Damao got married, and people would come to the compound early in the morning.

Therefore, no matter it is the front yard, middle yard or backyard, everyone starts to get busy early.

As soon as Xu Qing and Xu Damao left the compound, San Huzi and his party rode their own bicycles and turned into the alley.

When Xu Damao got married, they were naturally indispensable.

However, San Huzi and the others did not follow Xu Qing and Xu Damao to pick up their relatives, but were arranged to help Xu Damao entertain relatives and guests in the courtyard.

Today, time was tight and the task was heavy, so Xu Damao directly threw a few packs of cigarettes to San Huzi, and then asked San Huzi to lend his bicycle to Xu Qing, and then hurriedly rode bicycles with Xu Qing to Lou Xiaoe's house.

In addition to Xu Qing, Xu Damao also found Ma Jiefang, a group of young people who had a good relationship with him in the factory, and a group of people rode bicycles and drove on the street.

After arriving at Lou Xiaoe's house, Xu Qing did not see the bustling scene, but looked a little deserted.

But thinking that Lou Xiaoe's parents are not good, she felt instantly relieved.

Maybe he didn't want to make a big deal out of fear of causing trouble, so he did it intentionally.

Therefore, with almost no obstacles, Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang helped Xu Damao connect Lou Xiaoe.

When everyone returned to the entrance of the alley in the compound, Sanhuzi led the people and lit all the firecrackers that had been set up with the cigarette butts in his hand.

The sound of crackling firecrackers resounded from the entrance of the alley to the compound.

When Xu Qing returned to the courtyard, he saw that his second and third brothers had returned from school. Chen Xiaojuan, who was holding the child with the little girl and Er Mazi, stood in the crowd and looked towards Xu Damao, who was the groom's official today. Lou Xiao'e looked at the bride.

A lot of people came to the factory, especially leaders and cadres. Although they were not at a high level, Xu Damao spent a lot of time on them in the factory over the years.

Of course, it is difficult for someone with a higher official position like Deputy Factory Manager Li to come here, but the gift money is still a piggyback.

The courtyard was crowded with people, and the scene was even more lively than when Er Mazi got married.

Silly Zhu was busy cooking vegetables, standing in front of the built earthen stove, sweating profusely from the heat, grabbed the towel around his neck and wiped it, and quickly started to stir fry the various ingredients in the big iron pot with a spoon. Vegetables and pork.

Although Lou Xiao'e's house was not too lively.

But Xu Damao wanted to be glamorous.

All kinds of tobacco and alcohol are of high quality, even the Arctic Ocean soda is prepared for children, regardless of age or sex, one bottle per person.

He also put a lot of effort into the food. Xu Damao tried his best to prepare pork, duck, fish, and chicken. There was a lot of quantity, but the advantage was that there were many varieties.

Xu Damao didn't want to lose his arrogance, even if it meant draining his parents' accumulated wealth.

Xu Damao valued face as much as the second uncle Yan Bugui.

Xu Qing helped Xu Damao pick up his relatives, and the task was completed.

At this time, he and Ma Jiefang walked to their younger brothers and sisters and took a short rest.
