Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 270 Letter from Third Brother
The winter of 69 was as cold as previous years.

At the beginning of winter, autumn clothes could no longer be worn. Xu Qing put on thick new cotton-padded clothes and went to the old lady's hut early in the morning to ask his second brother to have breakfast with Patriot.

It was chilly in the courtyard at this time, and the late autumn chill had completely left the scene after the carnival of the past few days.

Winter is coming on stage today, enveloping the entire compound, the entire Forty-Nine City, in its icy cold again.

Xu Aiguo woke up early, heard his elder brother knocking on the door outside the house, and hurriedly walked out wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket.

"Patriotic, let's go to eat, your sister-in-law and Xiaoya have made breakfast."

"Okay, brother, wait for me, I'll get dressed."

Xu Aiguo, who was standing at the door of the house, closed the door, quickly put on the cotton-padded jacket on his body with both hands, and buttoned the buttons at the same time.

At this time, the backyard was deserted and there were not many people, but the chimneys in each house were emitting smoke.

It's past eight o'clock in the morning, it's time for breakfast.

After Xu Qing and his second brother returned to their house, the pregnant Ma Jinghong and the little girl were bringing dishes and food to the table in the front room from the kitchen.

"Patriot, wash your hands and eat with your big brother."

Ma Jinghong's movements are somewhat inconvenient now, and she is six months pregnant, which makes her look very bloated.

Especially in winter, when I wear thick clothes, I have to keep myself warm, and secondly, I have to take care of the baby in my stomach, so I walk around even more staggeringly.

Xu Aiguo grinned and said: "Sister-in-law, don't be so busy, you should rest quickly and let Xiaoya do it alone."

The little girl twitched her braids, and echoed, "That's right, sister-in-law, stop cooking in the future. I'm in the house, so you can take care of your baby."

When Ma Jinghong heard what her uncle and sister-in-law said, she pursed her lips and smiled, feeling an indescribable warmth in her heart.

She is also pregnant, she is happier than Yu Li in the front yard.

Although my father-in-law and mother-in-law are away, unlike Yu Li, there are old people who can help.

But Jinghong is not envious at all.

Yu Li in the front yard was pregnant at about the same time as her, but every so often, she quarreled with Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiedi, and Yan Jiekuang in the yard.

I was still angry with the third uncle and the third aunt.

But my uncle and sister-in-law never quarreled with her.

He didn't even say a serious word in front of her.

To say she was envious, it was Yu Li who envied herself.

In the front yard, the four brothers and sisters of Yan Jiecheng were at odds. This was something that everyone in the courtyard knew.

The reason is naturally that the four brothers and sisters have inherited the shrewdness and calculations of the third master Yan Pugui.

There is always intrigue between each other.

For something as small as a sesame seed, the entire compound that can be noisy can't live in peace.

Yan Jiedi couldn't understand that after Yu Li became pregnant, she spent all day thinking about what to eat and drink, and often verbalized her intentionally.

The angry Yu Li almost had a miscarriage.

In the end, it was the third master and the third mother who came forward to make Yan Jiedi stop being angry with Yu Li.

But the final solution was for the third uncle to watch over Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiefang and separate from them.

Although Yan Bugui was reluctant in every possible way, he had to do so.

It's just that when the family was separated, Yan Bugui was distressed in the courtyard, and he didn't look good for more than half a month.

However, Xu Qing didn't think about separating from his younger siblings.

During the meal, Xu Qing took out the letter he received from his third brother yesterday and handed it to the little girl to read.

The little girl was so happy that she put down the chopsticks in her hands, her face showed joy, she opened her heart, cleared her throat, and started reading with great emotion.

"Dear Brother:

I'm Feng Ming, and I'm very depressed recently. I work during the day and attend brigade meetings at night. My head is big. Besides, those of us who come from the city, in addition to doing production at ordinary times, also help the brigade to write materials. Miserable.

Grandpa came to see me a few days ago, and it was brought by Grandpa Fifth, who was the branch secretary.

Grandpa knew that I smoked, so he brought me a big bag of tobacco leaves and asked me to roll cigarettes by myself.

The elder brother didn't know, the cannon was drawn with such force that it choked me so much that I coughed every day.

By the way, grandpa also gave me the new shoes my grandma gave me.

Grandma is very handy, I put on my feet, just right.

Li Guihu, who lives in the same room as me, wants me to lend him some clothes for a few days, so I'll just pay him a buy price, [-] cents a day, or else I'll fail!
Hahaha.
Oh, there is an important thing, big brother, our third uncle, because of the problem of work points, offended the head of production in their village, and was locked up last month.

Fortunately, he is locked up in the brigade, so I can find time to visit him every day.

The third uncle was an honest man, but his temper was just like that of my grandfather. After being locked up, he kept scolding the production captain of their village.

But the captain is really not a good guy. He is a thief and has a bad mind. I once heard Li Guihu say that he just wanted to punish our third uncle, saying that our third uncle had no skills and dared to challenge him.

I later went to the brigade secretary and dumped a few packs of the Daqianmen cigarettes you gave me for the National Day. After I reported the investigation, I immediately released him.

Brother, have you ever seen the production team leader at that time? His face was as ugly as if he had eaten pig manure. The look in my eyes could kill someone.

But I ignored him. Ya's first production team leader was so arrogant that he only wanted to stir up troubles if he didn't want to lead the villagers in production. He also always said that people who came from the city to the countryside couldn't bear hardships and suffered.

Li Guihu, who lived with me angrily, and the others were impatient at the time.

If it weren't for Grandpa Fifth and the brigade secretary to stop him, we would have beaten him to death!
Yesterday I heard from the old head Wang of our township hospital that the production team leader tried to drive a tractor the day before yesterday, but he fell into a ditch and broke his arm.

Haha brother, look, this is a typical ugly person doing more mischief.

Let's not talk about this. The last time you came to see me, you said that my sister-in-law was pregnant. Brother, please don't just be busy with work and take more care of my sister-in-law.

How is my second brother working in the factory?Did you find me a sister-in-law?
Xiaoya should be working after graduation, right?
I'm going back to the city to visit relatives in a while, and I'm busy going through the formalities now, alas, it's too troublesome, it's not easy to go home, my legs almost broke when I ran, I finally have a clue.

By the way, brother, Xiaoya, you have to find a better job for her.

I don’t think I can go to the steel rolling mill. It’s too hard and tiring. Girls, it’s best not to go. "

When the little girl read this, she pursed her lips, snorted, and showed displeasure on her face.

"Brother, look at my third brother, he really is, why can't I go to work in the factory, I'm going."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing, Xu Aiguo looked sideways at the little girl, stretched out his hand and scratched his head, but said nothing.

Ma Jinghong looked at her slightly dissatisfied sister-in-law and felt happy.

How could the sister-in-law go to the factory? Even if Xu Qing, the eldest brother, allowed it, she, the sister-in-law, would not allow it.

It's not that it's bad to enter the factory, but why should the little girl enter the factory when she has better choices.

My sister-in-law looks graceful and graceful.

Ma Jinghong secretly thought that when she was waiting, she would ask her group to see if they could let the little girl in.

After all, it's better to work in a cultural troupe.

After the little girl complained a few words, she continued to read the letter.

"Hey, Comrade Xu Xiaoya, I'm just talking about you. Don't be ignorant. Third brother, I am now. I face the loess and my back is facing the sky. I deal with the crops in the field every day. Don't let the elder brother worry about it. Brother and sister-in-law, you can't complain about whatever job I found for you, or I'll have to deal with you when I come back!
Okay, enough to say, Li Guihu asked me to go to dinner, it was late, and the day lily was cold. "

After reading the letter, the little girl was in a bad mood.

Holding the letter from the third brother, he lowered his head and kept his eyes wandering on the penultimate paragraph.
