Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 24

The snow in the alley has not been cleaned for a few days, and it has piled up, just like laying a layer of white floor tiles for the alley.

Xu Qing and Qin Huairu walked side by side, and walked slowly towards the entrance of the alley.

Last night, when everyone came back one after another, they trampled on the dirty snow. After being covered by the new snow last night, they could no longer see the traces. At this time, there were only the footprints of Xu Qing and Qin Huairu on the snow.

It was still dark, and the chill had deepened a bit.

Xu Qing and Qin Huairu chatted one after another while turning to the street.

"This damn weather, the closer we get to the New Year, the colder it gets. Really, I even have a cold, and I don't know when my Bangge's legs will get better, ugh."

When Xu Qing heard Qin Huairu sigh, he didn't know whether he was sighing for Shazhu or Banggen, and looked up at the pedestrians who got up early like him on the street.

Xu Qing breathed out and said, "There's nothing you can do. It's too cold in winter, and people are prone to catch a cold. Brother Silly Zhu is young, so he might be fine after taking two cold medicines. But Sister Qin, your son's leg broke. I'm afraid It takes [-] days to heal the muscles and bones.”

"Isn't it?" Qin Huairu stretched out her hand to adjust the scarf around her neck, complaining, "I've been worrying about this recently, and it's almost the Chinese New Year, my mother-in-law hasn't gotten a job shaking coal balls recently, I My son's leg will not get better after a while, and the family's expenses are all dependent on me, and now I don't know how to live this year."

Xu Qing didn't answer, and walked aside silently.

Qin Huairu turned to look at Xu Qing.

"Xu Qing, have you started buying things for the New Year?"

"No, I'm the only one in my family. My three younger brothers and sisters are young and still studying. I have no money on me. What can I do with it?"

"That's right, alas, our sisters and brothers are suffering!"

Qin Huairu sighed again, and then continued:
"Xu Qing, I'm going to borrow some money from my uncle for the New Year, but I'm afraid that my mother won't lend it to me. You have studied and have ink in your stomach. Let me analyze it for my sister. What should my sister say? My mother will agree."

Xu Qing said with a bitter face: "Sister Qin, I don't know about this. I borrowed food stamps from the second uncle before, but I didn't get it. If you ask me about borrowing money, I don't know much about it." gone."

Qin Huairu poked Xu Qing lightly with her elbow, and said in a low voice:
"It's not like you don't know who the second uncle is. He's stingy, even more stingy than the third uncle in the front yard. It's no wonder you can borrow it!"

Xu Qing said nothing, and continued to walk along the street.

The snow suddenly fell heavily, and the wind blew again. When I opened my mouth, the wind wrapped the snowflakes and burrowed straight into my mouth.

Qin Huairu also stopped talking.

After more than ten minutes, Xu Qing walked to the gate of the factory, stretched out his hand and pushed open the big iron gate, and walked in with Qin Huairu.

When Xu Qing entered the third workshop without a cigarette, Er Mazi came.

Er Mazi is usually the last one to come in the whole workshop, but today he came early for an unprecedented time.

Maybe it was because yesterday morning, I saw that the part made by Xu Qing was better than what he made himself.

Er Mazi didn't stamp the snow on his feet outside the workshop, so he rushed into the workshop and stood in front of Xu Qing, watching Xu Qing make parts with the clamp, without saying a word or making a sound the whole time.

Out of the corner of Xu Qing's eye, he caught a glimpse of Er Mazi, but because he was busy making parts, he didn't say hello.

When Xu Qing finished the parts, Er Mazi impatiently held them in his hands, and looked at them carefully.

After a while, Er Mazi looked at the parts in his hand, his eyes were full of envy, jealousy, and jealousy.

Yesterday, he also felt that it was not impossible for Xu Qing to learn from Lao Zhang for half a year and occasionally make a good one.

But at this moment, Er Mazi felt that Xu Qing had really become a teacher, and his skills were indeed much better than his own.

Because the part Xu Qing made today is slightly better than the one yesterday.

With the same clamp and the same material, he can seldom make such fine parts, and it is difficult to achieve the same precision as the one made by Xu Qing today.

In Er Mazi's heart, there was a moment of turmoil, with mixed emotions, and she was indescribably shocked.

He was a regular worker, not to mention a three-year apprentice, even if he became a full-time worker, he had worked in the factory for two or three years, but he was overtaken by Xu Qing, an apprentice who had only studied for half a year.

Er Mazi was numb, and felt very uncomfortable. He didn't want to admit that Xu Qing's skills were good, but the truth was in front of him.

After thinking about it, Er Mazi secretly felt that it wasn't Xu Qing's good skills, but Lao Zhang's good teaching.

If I hadn't learned from Yi Zhonghai, but Lao Zhang, I guess my skills have improved by now, and I might have been promoted to the second-level fitter.

When Er Mazi thought about it this way, he felt that he had been fooling around with Yi Zhonghai for three years, wasting time for nothing.

But Xu Qing didn't know what Er Mazi was thinking, so he reached out for the cigarette in his pocket, shook out one, and handed it to Er Mazi.

"I don't even have a cigarette, try it."

Er Mazi reached out to take the cigarette, took out the matchbox from his body, struck one, and lit the cigarette with himself and Xu Qing.

At this moment, other people from the workshop also came one after another.

See Xu Qing and Er Mazi, especially the part in Er Mazi's hand.

Someone reached out to pick it up, looked at it, thought it was made by Er Mazi, grinned and said:
"Wow, Er Mazi, I didn't expect that you still kept secrets, and you actually made such a precise part this morning, you really belonged to me!"

When Er Mazi heard the man's words, he felt as if someone had pricked him with a needle.

But he didn't want to say that Xu Qing did it, because he knew that if Xu Qing did it and not him, he would definitely be ridiculed by everyone later.

Xu Qing didn't speak, just walked aside, smoking a cigarette, and cleaned up the workshop.Anyway, for him, it's just morning practice.

Two or three minutes later, Lao Zhang also came to the workshop, and at a glance he saw that the parts in Er Mazi's hands were made by Xu Qing.

After all, the parts made by everyone are different. Although there is no difference at first glance, Lao Zhang is a master craftsman, so his eyes are naturally poisonous.

What's more, Xu Qing is an apprentice with him, and has been getting along day and night, how can he not see the parts made by his apprentice.

However, Lao Zhang saw that other people were boasting about the improvement of Ermazi's technology, and saw Xu Qing busy at the side, so he didn't say anything.

After get off work in the afternoon.

As soon as Xu Qing left the workshop, he saw Qin Huairu running over.

"Xu Qing, accompany your sister to the infirmary to buy cold medicine for Sha Zhu. We will return to the hospital together later."

When Xu Qing was eating in the cafeteria at noon, he saw Sha Zhu asking for leave and going back.

It's just that the three little ones in the room were still waiting for him to go home and cook, Xu Qing wanted to refuse.

But the neighbors in a big courtyard are all working in the factory, and they can't get rid of their faces. Besides, when no one needs help, they still buy medicine for Sha Zhu, and Sha Zhu is usually good to himself.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, then walked towards the infirmary with Qin Huairu.
