Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 272 Buying Wine
As the sun set and all the soot was rubbed into briquettes, Xu Qing straightened up, looked at his brother-in-law with black hands, and said with a smile:
"Jiefang, you have worked hard today, brother-in-law will accompany you to drink a few cups tonight."

Ma Jiefang stood up, stamped his numb feet and said, "Then you have to bring out good wine, otherwise I won't drink it."

"If you don't drink it, you'll be drunk. There happens to be no wine in the house, so I won't buy it."

Xu Qing said so, but after washing his hands, he pushed the bicycle out of the compound and went to the street to buy wine.

Today, he, his second brother, and Ma Jiefang are the only three people in the room. His wife and sister are not here. How can such a good opportunity to drink be missed.

Although Xu Qing was not very keen on drinking, Ma Jiefang helped him rub coal balls today, so he had to treat him to a drink.

After all, he is his brother-in-law, not an outsider.

While pushing his bicycle through the middle courtyard, Xu Qing met Shazhu.

Silly Zhu was standing alone in the middle of the courtyard, smoking.

The matter between Sha Zhu and Qin Jingru fell through, and just as he had some eyebrows with Yu Haitang, Xu Damao messed up again.

As for the girls that Aunt Ma helped him inquire about, after Silhu met them, they just ignored them and said nothing more.

Now, Sha Zhu went round and round, and he was still alone.

Sha Zhu didn't like He Yushui's classmate either.

At this time, Xu Qing saw that Shazhu was in a low mood, so he said, "Brother Silly, do you have anything to do tonight? If you have nothing to do, come over to my house for a drink."

Silly Zhu put his hands in his pockets, walked up to Xu Qing, nodded and said, "Sure, anyway, my sister Yushui is staying at the unit this week and hasn't come back, so I'll go to your house later."

After Silly Zhu finished speaking, he saw Xu Qing pushing the cart to go out, and said, "Qingzi, what are you doing out there?"

"There's no wine in the house. My uncle is here. He's going to the state-run store to buy two bottles of good wine."

Silly Zhu let out an oh and nodded.

As soon as Xu Qing got out of the compound, he rode his bicycle in the alley and headed towards the state-owned store.

Now, Xu Qing has saved a lot of tickets and money.

After marrying Jinghong last year, Xu Qing received all their salaries.

Now he has more than 700 yuan in money.

This is what he and his wife Jinghong have saved together for more than a year.

Both of them go to work to earn wages, and the child has not yet been born, so the usual expenses are not large.

This way you can save more money.

The second brother, Aiguo, also works now and can earn money by himself, so Xu Qing doesn't need to worry about it.

The third brother, Feng Ming, went to the countryside. Although the little girl still went to school last year, she was the only one left, and her expenses were not much.

Therefore, the life of Xu Qing's family is getting better and better.

When he got married last year, Xu Qing owed almost no foreign debt. He didn't borrow any money from anyone, that is, he borrowed other people's tickets and industrial coupons.

However, Xu Qing just used it to divide it up. Over the past year, he has paid it off one after another.

Only industrial certificates, Xu Qing has few at hand.

However, in Xu Qing's house, there are all the big items that should be there now, and it doesn't matter if there are few industrial coupons.

Xu Qing and Jing Hong can receive tickets for food stamps, oil tickets, cloth tickets and other daily necessities from their respective units every month.

So adding it up, after Xu Qing used his ability to use one point, that would be a lot of surplus.

It's just that these days, it's not easy to resell these tickets for money, so Xu Qing had to carry all of them with him.

Xu Damao and San Huzi had a falling out. Xu Qing met him a few times on the street, but he didn't mention it.

It's not that I don't want to, I don't want to.

Instead, Sanhuzi started to set up a stall and bought braised and cooked dishes.

The second-hand dealers who are speculative are making a living, and the control is becoming more and more strict.

The three tigers have been hiding in XZ for the past few years, and poor daughters-in-law can't afford to marry them.

As a last resort, I can only make a living as a regular business and barely make ends meet.

When Xu Qing passed by Sanhuzi's stall on his bicycle, he stopped and ate a bowl of braised pork as a relief.

No matter what, it's still an acquaintance.

When Xu Qing gave the money, Sanhuzi waved his hands and said: "Qingzi, if you still recognize me as a buddy, I will be satisfied in my heart, how can I ask for your money."

Xu Qing insisted on stuffing the money he took out into San Huzi's pocket.

"You are a small business, if I come to eat every day, how will you earn money to get married?"

Hearing this, San Huzi took out the crumpled economic cigarettes on his body, and handed Xu Qing one:

"Then smoke a cigarette. What's the use in the future? You can just talk to me."

Xu Qing nodded, took the cigarette, chatted with San Huzi for a while, then pushed the cart and continued towards the state-owned store.

Xu Qing bought two bottles of Erqu and a pound of pork.

But I was not in a hurry to go back. Instead, I had a chat with an acquaintance of the state-owned store manager.

After chatting, Xu Qing secretly realized that since the little girl works here, she can join the "workers, peasants and soldiers" and go to college next year.

Then wait until the little girl and wife come back in a few days, and then tell her sister.

If you want, let the little girl come to work here.

Salespeople in supply and marketing cooperatives and state-owned stores have no difference in the nature of their work.

As for Xu Qing, the relationship with Manager Liu in front of him was pretty good. With a little care, this little thing would be settled.

After returning to the compound from the state-run store, Xu Qing saw that Sha Zhu was busy cooking in his own kitchen.He carried the pork into the kitchen and asked Shazhu to add two more dishes.

Nowadays, the situation is visibly getting better. Xu Qing does not have to make the same savings on food and drink as he did in 62.

Ma Jiefang and Xu Aiguo stood aside, one continued to light the fire, and the other peeled onions and garlic.

Xu Damao, who lived in the backyard, returned to the compound after spending a day wandering outside. Hearing the sound of Sha Zhu and Ma Jiefang coming from Xu Qing's room, he immediately stopped his bicycle towards the door of his house, and then looked sideways for a while. .

Qin Jingru heard the movement at the door of the house and packed the prepared dinner into the front room. Seeing that Xu Damao had not come in yet, she walked to the door of the house, opened the door curtain and dragged Xu Damao home.

"Si Zhu went to Qingzi's house?"

Xu Damao looked at Qin Jingru and asked.

"What? You want to go too?"

While closing the door of the room, Qin Jingru gave Xu Damao a blank look, pointed to the dinner that had just been brought out and said, "I've prepared the meal. If you don't want to eat it, I'll eat it by myself."

Xu Damao snorted coldly, took off his leather shoes, and put on Qin Jingruna's padded shoes. With a cigarette in his mouth, he lay on the window and looked at Xu Qing's house again. After a while, he turned around, washed his hands, sat at his table, and ate dinner.

"Qin Jingru, let me tell you, you don't need to be afraid of anyone in the courtyard, but please don't mess with Qingzi's family."

Qin Jingru was sitting opposite Xu Damao, with displeasure on his face, looking at Xu Damao who was chewing steamed buns, and said:
"You are already the deputy director in the factory, and Xu Qing is only a third-level clerk. Why should our family be afraid of him?"

"You bitch, you know a shit, I told you not to provoke me, don't you listen?"

Xu Damao slammed the chopsticks in his hands on the table, and his expression suddenly darkened.
