Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 278 The third brother returns to the city to visit relatives
In the afternoon, when everyone in the compound returned to the compound after work after a tiring day, they learned that the little girl had reported to the state-owned store today and started her first day of work.

The three elders in the front yard, Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, the first elder in the middle courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, and Liu Haizhong in the backyard, were all shocked.

Is the little girl going to work now?

Fast, too fast.

It's a bit unacceptable for them to be fast.

I just knew that the little girl was going to enter the state-owned store. Before she could recover, people started to go to work.

Yan Bugui sat in his own room, smoking a cigarette, listening to the words of the third mother, without speaking for a long time.

He was silent, but Yan Jiedi couldn't.

Yan Jiedi's eyes rolled around, pestering the third aunt and saying:

"Mom, look at Ren Xiaoya. My parents are gone, and everyone has gone to the state-owned store. What about me? Where should I go to work?"

Although Yan Jiedi didn't say it to Yan Bugui, every word she said was to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui, the third master, was so angry that he couldn't mention it. With his eyes hidden behind the glasses, he glanced at his daughter, took two puffs of cigarettes, threw the burnt cigarette butts on the ground, and threw himself on the kang. Come on, close your eyes, out of sight, out of mind.

He didn't intend to arrange work for Yan Jiedi, if he didn't pay a penny, that's fine.

But spending money to find someone to arrange it is simply not possible.

The third mother wanted him to go to Xu Qing last night, and Yan Bugui figured it out right then.

He is such a shrewd person, he found a job for his daughter by himself, and when her daughter got married in the future, wouldn't the money he spent be in vain.

It's my own daughter, but Yan Bugui calculated that no one would recognize her.

With no one to rely on in the future, Yan Bugui felt that he had fulfilled his responsibilities as a parent by raising Yan Jiedi up.

As for what will happen in the future, Yan Bugui has a clear idea.

Of course, Yan Bugui thinks it is okay to find a temporary job for Yan Jiedi to deal with it temporarily.

Because in this way, no one in the courtyard would say that he, a father, doesn’t care about his daughter.

Yan Bugui's plan is deep.

It's just that Yan Bugui doesn't want to say anything now, he doesn't bother to say a word.

No matter how much Yan Jiedi pestered her with words, she just turned a deaf ear.

The third aunt saw her head lying on the kang pretending to be asleep, so she had no choice but to deal with Yan Jiedi.

She was incapable of finding a job for her daughter, even if it was temporary.

In the courtyard, Da Ma and Yi Zhonghai were sitting in a warm room, talking quietly while eating.

"Old Yi, Xu Qing's family is doing well. He is a cadre in the factory. He graduated from high school the year before patriotism and entered the factory. Feng Ming went to the countryside last year.

This year, Xu Qing arranged for the little girl who just graduated to work in a state-owned store, and her daughter-in-law has been in the art troupe for these years. In the future, I will see that only Xu Qing's family in our compound is the most outstanding! "

Yi Zhonghai held the steamed buns in his left hand and fried radish sticks with chopsticks in his right hand. After eating two mouthfuls of steamed buns, he didn't respond to Big Mom until he was a little choked. Then he picked up the enamel tea mug, took a sip of hot water, and said:
"No one in our courtyard can tell that Xu Qing is just a second-level clerk. In terms of being an official, although he is not as tall as Xu Damao now, he has several brothers and sisters. Except for Xu Qing, who has not graduated from high school, but is educated. The level is not low at all. All four of his brothers and sisters have gone to high school, especially Xu Qing's three younger brothers and sisters have all graduated from high school. Not comparable."

The aunt thought so deeply and kept silent.

In Jia's house, Jia Zhang sat at the dining table, eating the noodles that Qin Huairu had just cooked, and muttered to Qin Huairu:

"Huairu, I'm not talking about you, look at Xu Qing, my sister's job is done so well, working in a state-owned store is so arrogant.

Xu Damao in the backyard is now the deputy director of our factory, and the official is older than Xu Qing. He married your cousin Qin Jingru, and he didn't say to help you find a good job again. How can there be such a brother-in-law? Why don't you ask him? How can I get you a lift? "

Qin Huairu didn't say anything, just lowered his head to eat the noodles in the bowl, let Jia Zhang chatter for a while, couldn't help but said:
"Mom, do you think I don't want to, who is Xu Damao, you don't know, is he willing to marry Qin Jingru?"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with presbyopic eyes, and sighed:

"In any case, Xu Damao is married to your cousin. He is also your brother-in-law after all. At the very least, he should arrange a more profitable job for you in the factory. If that doesn't work, transfer you to your factory. The canteen's kitchen is also ready. From now on, you can bring back some of our food from the factory. Why can't our family live without cooking?"

Qin Huairu was speechless, lowered his head to eat the noodles in the bowl, and never spoke to Jia Zhang again.

It was not that Qin Huairu had not approached Xu Damao privately, and even asked Qin Jingru to speak to her twice.

However, Xu Damao is a person who can't afford to be early.

No benefit at all, so what about kinship?
Is Xu Damao a relative?
Qin Huairu didn't feel it at all.

Qin Huairu felt distressed in his heart.

Xu Damao was thinking about her body for a day or two, and it was not like she didn't notice it.

Besides, Xu Damao may not be reliable in his work. Qin Jingru was coaxed into thinking that she was going to introduce him to Sha Zhu, but in the end, Xu Damao kidnapped her.

This incident made Qin Huairu have a grudge against Xu Damao all these years.

If she can avoid being messed with, she doesn't want to associate with Xu Damao and Qin Jingru at all.

Qin Huairu would rather ask Xu Qing for help than choose this brother-in-law who is the deputy director.

Even though they were related, in Qin Huairu's eyes, Xu Damao was far behind Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is the one who handles business, as long as he agrees, he will definitely do it.

It's just that she is too embarrassed to bother.

Xu Qing's daughter-in-law is now pregnant, and the little girl just started working today.

There was a lot of trouble at home, and Qin Huairu was not stupid. He knew that during this period, it would not be inappropriate to borrow money from Xu Qing.

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't speak, Jia Zhang babbled for a long time alone, but Qin Huairu still didn't respond.

As for Shazhu and younger sister Yushui who lived in the middle courtyard together, after eating dinner early today, the two brothers and sisters went to the backyard together to visit Xu Qing's house.

The little girl went to work, but Sha Zhu had a lot to say.

Yuyu and the little girl were very close, and when the two girls were together, there were endless secrets in the boudoir.

At this time, Xu Qing, his wife Jinghong, his second brother and the little girl had just finished dinner. They didn't even have time to clear away the dishes and chopsticks placed on the kang when Shazhu and Yuyu came over.

"Qingzi, what are you busy with?"

As soon as Sha Zhu entered Xu Qing's house, he grinned at Xu Qing and asked, while looking at the little girl, he said:

"Xiaoya, how was your first day at work? Working in a state-owned store is pretty good, right?"

The little girl held the bowls and chopsticks that had just been packed in her hands, and said hello to Shazhu and Yushui:

"Brother Yuzhu, I've only been here for a day, so I don't feel much, I just saw more people."

Silly Zhu sat on the edge of the kang and said with a chuckle: "That's not it. When you are a salesperson, you have to deal with people all day long. You don't have to do tiring and dirty work. You stand at the counter and do it for whoever wants something. Just give it to him, how easy it is."

Bitterness appeared on the little girl's face, relaxed?She didn't feel it at all.

On the first day of work, I didn't have much to do except for the report. After that, I was so busy that I didn't even have time to drink saliva, and my arms were tired from carrying things.

He Yuyu said with a smile: "Xiaoya, congratulations, you are at work now. From now on, sister, I will go to the state-owned store to buy things and I will find you then."

The little girl smiled sweetly, twitched her braids and said, "Okay, Miss Yushui."

After the little girl finished speaking, she continued: "Brother Yuzhu, Sister Yuzhu, you chat with my elder brother and sister-in-law first, and I will go to the kitchen to clean the dishes and chopsticks and then come out."

At this time, Xu Qing made two tea jars of tea for Sha Zhu and Yu Yu. The tea was fragrant and refreshing. Sha Zhu reached out to take it, hurriedly lowered his head and took a sip, then smacked his mouth and said:

"Hey, Qingzi, your cadre's jasmine tea tastes really good. It tastes completely different from the tea leaves, and you can't taste the tea residue in your mouth."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing.

This tea was really bought specially by him. The price is not cheap, but not high either. It is just ordinary tea that most cadres like to drink these days.

Of course, the grade should be higher than high breaking.

Xu Qing is now a cadre. If there are guests at home, it is not appropriate to entertain them with high broken ribs.

He Yushui took a sip and didn't comment on the tea.

For one thing, she doesn't like drinking tea, so she doesn't know much about it.

Secondly, no matter how bad the tea brewed by Brother Xu Qing is, when you drink it, the taste can be said to be 'good'.

Xu Qing saw that the Shazhu brothers and sisters came up tonight and they had nothing to do to find him, so he chatted with his daughter-in-law Jinghong, second brother Aiguo, and the little girl who came out of the kitchen after cleaning the dishes.

Just chatting, Shazhu thought of Xu Fengming whom he hadn't seen for a long time, turned to look at Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, it's been a long time since your third brother Feng Ming, when will he come back?"

Xu Qing thought for a while and said, "During this time, I should go home to visit relatives, and it will probably be soon."

When Si Zhu heard this, he said, "I still miss Feng Ming a little bit."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing. Feng Ming and Silly Zhu had a lot of fights when they were young. The relationship between the two of them was quite good!

The day of the Xiaoxue solar term coincided with the weekend, and Sijiu City ushered in the first snow.

The snow was not heavy, but it also spread a thin layer on the ground in the courtyard.

The weather is much colder than usual.

Xu Qing, his daughter-in-law, the little girl, and his second brother, Aiguo, were sitting on the hot kang for lunch.

Suddenly, a familiar voice came into the house from the courtyard outside.

"Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, Xiaoya, I'm back!"

When the little girl heard the voice, she immediately showed an excited expression on her pretty face. She didn't even put down the steamed buns and chopsticks in her hand, ran to the door of the house, and said to the black and thin young man covered in white snowflakes, her eyes flushed:
"Third brother, I miss you so much."

Xu Fengming, who had just returned to the city on a country tractor, had an army green water bottle on his left side and a bulging backpack on his right side. When he saw the little girl, he immediately quickened his pace and walked to his house after a long absence the door.

At this moment, Xu Qing and his second brother Aiguo also walked out of the house and stood beside the little girl. The three of them greeted Feng Ming together.

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Xiaoya, I miss you all."

Xu Fengming, whom I haven't seen for a long time, is dressed in rustic clothes and is tanned, but he is very capable. His eyes are shining like a leopard in the mountains.

His right hand, which was a little stiff from the cold, grabbed the little girl's face.

The little girl suddenly pouted.

"Third Brother, you really know how to bully me as soon as you come back. Believe it or not, I will tell my sister-in-law."

Xu Fengming pursed his lips and snorted, "I'm not afraid, my sister-in-law is so kind to me, she must not be willing to scold me."

As soon as Xu Fengming came back, he started arguing with the little girl before he even entered the house.

Xu Qing sized up the third younger brother, with a smile on his face, full of joy, reached out and patted Xu Fengming's acquaintance on the shoulder and said:
"I haven't seen you for a few months, and I'm strong again. Come into the house."

"Brother, where is my sister-in-law?"

"In the house, your sister-in-law is pregnant, so it's inconvenient to move around."

While Xu Qing was talking to her third brother, Ma Jinghong walked to the door of the house alone with her belly bulging. When she saw her brother-in-law Feng Ming, her face suddenly burst into smiles.

"Oh, sister-in-law, how can you come out, go back to the house, it's snowing today, it's terribly cold, what if you catch cold?"

As Xu Fengming was talking, he turned his head and said to the little girl: "You know how to eat, and you don't forget to put down your chopsticks. Don't you know how to take care of our sister-in-law? I really don't have any insight. Do you bully my sister-in-law when I'm not at home?"

The little girl stuck out her tongue, she didn't mind what the third brother said at all.

On the contrary, I think it sounds good.

After all, I haven't seen my third brother for a long time, so the little girl is very relaxed today.

The little girl supported Jinghong, Xu Fengming followed behind, and the elder brother Xu Qing and second brother Aiguo entered the house together.

After the little girl helped Ma Jinghong sit on the kang, she turned around and quickly picked up the thermos bottle, poured hot water into the washbasin, and said to Xu Fengming:

"Third brother, wash your hands quickly and warm yourself up. I'm going to serve you some rice soup now."

While the little girl was talking, Xu Aiguo had already walked into the kitchen and scooped a bowl of thick rice soup into the pot with a spoon.

The third brother is back, and Xu Aiguo is as happy as the little girl.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing was actually happier.

The third brother has been in the countryside for more than a year, and he has been tempered, matured a lot, and his temper is more stable than before.

This made Xu Qing very pleased.

Xu Fengming took off his kettle and backpack, put them on the kang, ran to the washbasin where the little girl had poured hot water, bent over to soak his hands in it, tilted his head, and said to Xu Qing:
"Brother, you, my sister-in-law, and my second brother, Xiaoya, and I brought a lot of good things, all carefully selected by me."

Hearing this, the little girl smiled and said, "Third brother, thank you, remember to get me something."

Xu Fengming snorted: "Who told me to be your third brother? If I don't get it for you, what if you let your elder brother and sister-in-law deal with me?"

"What, third brother, you bully others, but I still miss you all the time."

Xu Fengming chuckled, "I'm getting angry now. If I knew I wouldn't tease you, how could I not prepare something for you. There are a lot of delicious food in the bag, all specially for you."

When the little girl heard what her third brother said, she immediately beamed with joy.
