Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 274 The Little Girl's Choice
Xu Qing rarely had the opportunity to have a long talk with his second brother.

Especially as younger siblings grow up, such opportunities become less and less.

For one thing, Xu Qing is usually busy with work. After marrying Jing Hong last year, there were more people in the house, and now his wife is pregnant again. Xu Qing spends more time, or more energy, on his family.

Secondly, whether it is the second brother, the third brother, or the little girl, they all have their own things to be busy with.

Opportunities like this are really hard to find.

At this time, Xu Qing was talking quietly, while Xu Aiguo listened and nodded from time to time.

Three ounces of wine, not much, but Xu Qing and his second brother Aiguo drank for a long time.

Of course, it was mainly the two brothers who were chatting and having heart-to-heart conversations.

It doesn't matter if you drink alcohol or not, but if you have it, it will be better.

Since the parents passed away, the younger siblings, Xu Qing being the eldest brother, have been pulling.

Looking back now, Xu Qing himself doesn't know how he survived in the past few years.

The people in the compound were watching, always wanting to see the joke.

After all, no one would think that Xu Qing, a 17-year-old child, could take good care of his younger siblings.

Fortunately, Xu Qing gritted his teeth and persisted.

The joke was really not seen by the people in the courtyard.

On the contrary, it was the sons of the third uncle's family and the two boys from the second uncle's family who had caused a lot of trouble with them over the years.

In contrast, Xu Aiguo, Xu Fengming and the little girls, because of Xu Qing's care, none of them went astray. Even in the rebellious stage, they did not get embarrassed with their elder brother Xu Qing.

This is really rare, and Xu Qing is very pleased.

No one in the courtyard is a fool, and everyone has their own thoughts and calculations.

Xu Qing didn't get to know them, Xu Aiguo, Xu Fengming and the little girl, as they grew older, could understand and see this.

After all, people are like this. When they see others being inferior to themselves, they feel secretly pleased with themselves.

If you see someone else is better than you, you will be jealous and jealous.

In this regard, there is no distinction between good and bad people, there will be good people, and even worse, bad people.

What Xu Qing knows is to be yourself.

Because younger siblings are watching.

As the eldest brother, every move he takes must be reasonable and appropriate.

Otherwise, the younger brothers and sisters who look at him will follow his words and deeds in the future.

It can't be said that I follow the same pace, but when I was young, it was true.

As for the four brothers and sisters Yan Jiecheng from the third uncle's house in the front yard, why do they care about each other?
In the final analysis, in addition to the influence of the words and deeds of the third uncle and the third aunt, more often, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi will look at the eldest brother Yan Jiecheng.

They will do whatever Yan Jiecheng does.

After all, when I was young, my parents would use the eldest child in the family as a role model for their younger siblings.

Moreover, the most important thing about the relationship between siblings is being the eldest brother.

We grew up together since we were young, no matter how big the age gap is, the eldest brother will always be the target for the younger siblings to learn from.

Yan Jiecheng had a bad relationship with the third master and his wife, so Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi would naturally become estranged from their parents.

This is also one of the reasons why the third master Yan Pugui directly refused when he heard that the eldest brother Yan Jiecheng wanted to split the family.

If Yan Jiecheng separated from him, then Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang would follow suit.

However, Yan Jiecheng separated from the third master, and Yan Jiefang, who was not yet married, also separated in a hurry.

Yan Bugui is stingy, and his heart aches for the wealth he has accumulated over the years.

On the other hand, it was chilling.

The boss brought his two younger brothers to fight with him, how could Yan Pugui not be sad.

Like the second uncle's family, although there is no such thing as a separation at the moment.

But speaking of it, Liu Haizhong is no better than the third uncle who is a teacher in educating his children.

Liu Haizhong's education with sticks forced his eldest son to leave. It was impossible for the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to stay with them in the future.

Although the family has not been separated yet, considering the current relationship between Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and Liu Haizhong, it will be a matter of time before the family is separated, and it will be a matter of time before they move out.

Their eldest brother is not at home, so they stay with their parents waiting for food?

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu underestimated how their parents treated their elder brother in the first place, and a shadow has already fallen in their hearts.

Otherwise, why did Liu Guangtian start arguing with Liu Haizhong before he graduated from high school and halfway through his studies.

The eldest brother couldn't bear it and left. Without a benchmark to reference, they would follow in his footsteps.

If Liu Haizhong's eldest son had chosen to stay at home and endure beatings and scoldings from his parents.

It is estimated that no matter how hard Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu resisted, they would never say that they ran away from home a few years ago because they didn't like studying.

It's all rooted.

Unfortunately, Liu Haizhong was too self-centered and did not realize this. He still beat or scolded Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu.

As for the third master Yan Bugui, his education level is not low, and he also knows that education with sticks may not be able to teach children well, but he ignored his concern for Yan Jiecheng.

The most important thing is that Yan Jiecheng has been watching all his calculations all day long.

In this way, Yan Jiecheng used what he learned from his parents when dealing with his younger siblings.

If the relationship between the four brothers and sister Yan Jiecheng is good, something strange will happen.

In the compound, the brothers and sisters have a good relationship, except for the Shazhu brother and sister in the middle courtyard, there are only four Xu Qing brothers and sisters.

First, parents are not around, which will inevitably deepen the emotional communication and influence between brothers and sisters.

Second, Xu Qing, like Sha Zhu, loves his younger siblings very much.

Never like Yan Jiecheng, who learned calculations from his parents when he was a child, and used them on his younger siblings.

Therefore, discord between brothers and sisters will not happen to Xu Qing.

At this time, after Xu Qing and his second brother Aiguo finished the last drink, they continued to chat for a while.

Ma Jiefang and Sha Zhu were snoring like thunder, Xu Qing turned his head and glanced, reached out and touched his second brother's head and said:

"When you go to college in the future, remember to study hard, and remember to find a partner and get married as soon as possible while grandpa and grandma are still alive, so that they can be happy."

Xu Aiguo shyly bared his teeth and smiled, and said with a hum: "Brother, I will."

Xu Qing nodded, stood up, packed the empty wine bottle and bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen with his second brother, and lay down on the kang together again, then turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The courtyard was completely plunged into darkness, and the moonlight was still hazy under the cover of clouds.

Half a month passed in a blink of an eye.

Xu Qing went to his father-in-law's house and brought back his wife and little girl.

Xu Aiguo did not follow him, but at home, he lit fires in the room where the eldest brother and sister-in-law lived, and in the room where the little girl lived, keeping both rooms warm.

When Xu Qing, Jing Hong and the little girl returned to the house, Xu Aiguo was busy cooking in the kitchen again.

When they were in junior high school, Xu Aiguo, his third brother Fengming and their little girl learned to cook.

Although he and the third brother are not as good at cooking as the little girl, they still can.

When the eldest brother is not at home, they have to do it themselves.

These years are a bit unfamiliar, but I have not forgotten the skills I learned.

The little girl saw that her eldest brother and sister-in-law hadn't seen each other for half a month, so she didn't sit in the front room and act as a light bulb. After washing her hands, she stepped into the kitchen and helped her second brother make lunch together.

Xu Qing supported his daughter-in-law, who was getting bigger and bigger, and sat on the warm kang, whispering about the little girl's work.

More than half an hour later, the little girl and Xu Aiguo cooked lunch, took it out of the kitchen, and placed it on the hot kang.

During the meal, Xu Qing took the initiative to mention to the little girl about finding a job for her.

Ma Jinghong bulged her belly and said: "Xiaoya, sister-in-law, you don't need to stay with me all day long. You can work when you need to. Your elder brother asked me about the state-owned store, and my sister-in-law asked you about the situation in our group. Are you? If you want to go to a state-owned store or work in a group with your sister-in-law, you can, we support your choice."

The little girl held the chopsticks in her hand, looked up at her eldest brother Xu Qing and sister-in-law Jing Hong, frowned slightly, thought for a while, shook her head, flicked two black braids and said:
"Brother, sister-in-law, if I don't go to both places, will you be angry?"

After the little girl finished speaking, she giggled and said:

"Actually, I think it would be good to work in the factory. I can go to and from get off work with my eldest brother and second brother every day. But since you asked me about the state-owned stores and the group, I will consider it."

Xu Qing looked at the little girl with a smile, but said nothing.

Since she respects her choice, if my sister really wants to go to the factory.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing would not stop him.

And the little girl just said that she would consider herself and Jinghong, and helped her find a job in a state-owned store and a job in the regiment.

Then wait for the little girl to think about it.

Anyway, as long as the little girl can enter the university through the "workers, peasants and soldiers", no matter what.

However, as a sister-in-law, Ma Jinghong's initial plan was to let her sister-in-law work with her in the art troupe. After all, with her here, her sister-in-law would definitely not be wronged.

But Ma Jinghong will respect the little girl's choice just like her own man.

My sister-in-law has grown up and has her own opinions. As a sister-in-law, she cannot interfere in such matters.

Even if the sister-in-law wants to work in the factory, as long as she likes it, she will only support it as a sister-in-law.

How can such a little sister-in-law not be in pain?

Since marrying Xu Qing, Ma Jinghong and the little girl have been getting along day and night, and not only have they not had any disagreements like sister-in-law.

On the contrary, the relationship is very good.

Especially the little girl who has a delicate mind. After graduating this year, seeing that she is pregnant, she is not in a hurry to work, but stays with her to take care of her.

Ma Jinghong was indescribably moved.

I didn't meet my father-in-law and mother-in-law, but there is such a clever and considerate sister-in-law.

The more Ma Jinghong thought about it, the more she felt that she was much luckier than her eldest sister, second sister, third sister, and fourth sister.

After all, before she got married, she often heard the elder sister and the others complain.

But now that she has been married to Xu Qing for more than a year, she doesn't feel anything wrong at all.

Compared with Yu Li, who was also pregnant in the compound.

My sister-in-law is much more well-behaved and sensible than Yu Li's sister-in-law Yan Jiedi.

Yu Li has never been angry at all.

the next afternoon.

When Xu Qing returned to the compound after get off work, the little girl took the initiative to find him.

"Brother, I have thought about it. I will listen to you and go to work in the state-owned store."

Hearing this, Xu Qing stretched out his hand towards the little girl's delicate nose, pinched it and said:

"Really?"

"Well, brother, you and sister-in-law are worried about my work. I will work in a state-owned store in the future. If you need anything at home, you don't have to go there to buy it. When I come back from get off work, I will just take it home. How convenient."

Xu Qing smiled and felt that the little girl was right.

If she worked in a state-run store, it would be much more convenient to buy things at home.

But Xu Qing mainly wanted his sister to work in a state-owned store so that she could be recommended for college.

Xu Qing had been thinking about and planning for a long time about his younger siblings going to college.

As for the little girl being able to buy things for the family after going to work, Xu Qing really never thought about such small things.

But since the little girl said so, Xu Qing smiled and said:
"That's OK. Brother, I'll go over and help you make arrangements in the next two days. Then you can go to work."

The little girl hummed, put her hand on Xu Qing's arm and said, "Brother, my second brother and I have settled for work. You said that my third brother has been going to the countryside for more than a year. When will he come back? There is no need to go again." ?”

Xu Qing turned his head to see that the little girl missed her third brother, sighed softly in her heart, and said:
"If your third brother Feng Ming doesn't want to go to college, it will take him several years to come back from the countryside."

The little girl had a disappointed look on her face when she heard what her elder brother said.

There is no way, these days, once you go to the countryside, it is not easy to go back to the city.

Of course, after next year, the state will continue to "enroll students" in universities.

If Xu Fengming entered the university as a worker, peasant and soldier, he would really be able to return to the city.

After graduation, the country will not let him go to the countryside.

After all, the country is in a period of vigorous construction and lacks talents. How can college students be allowed to work in the fields?

It's just that the little girl doesn't know this.

Xu Qing only told his second brother Aiguo, but Aiguo didn't tell the little girl.

So, I saw that the little girl was a little unhappy.

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Don't worry, with the eldest brother here, Feng Ming will definitely not be sent to the countryside all the time. I will find a way to let him go to university next year, and you will go too. Maybe you can still be in the same school."

Hearing the words, the little girl showed joy on her face, and her eyes shone brightly.

"Brother, really?"

"Of course!"

"Brother, you are so kind!" The little girl snuggled up to Xu Qing's side, her fair and pretty face showed joy.

Ma Jinghong had already asked for maternity leave from the regiment because of raising a baby, and she hadn't gone to work. At this time, she came out of the house and saw her man and sister-in-law together.

I wasn't jealous at all, but felt that the relationship between the two of them was really good.

But when the little girl noticed her sister-in-law coming out, she immediately let go of her elder brother's arm, hurriedly walked to Jinghong and said:

"Sister-in-law, it's such a cold weather, if you need anything, just tell me and I'll help you handle it."

Ma Jinghong smiled and said: "It's okay, I don't do anything this day, and I can't go to work. I stay in the house every day and feel so bored, I want to go out for a walk."

"Then sister-in-law, I'll accompany you around our compound."

After the little girl finished speaking, she helped Ma Jinghong, and the aunt and sister-in-law started walking in the courtyard.
