Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 3

When I get off work in the afternoon.

The snow began to fall again on the back of the northwest wind. Judging from the posture, it seemed that it would not stop all night long.

Xu Qing wore cotton shoes and stepped on the snow, making creaking noises.

At the factory gate, many people could already be seen running out in a hurry.

Xu Qing stuffed his hands into his cuffs and walked slowly through the snow.

Shazhu didn't have to cook for the factory leaders today. He was standing at the door of the seventh workshop where Qin Huairu was, waiting for Qin Huairu.

As soon as Qin Huairu came out, the two walked together.

Xu Qing glanced at it, then continued to walk slowly on his own.

Suddenly he was kicked.

Turning his head, he found that it was Xu Damao who lived in the backyard together.

"Come up, I'll take you back!"

Because of his father's relationship, Xu Damao not only got a good job as a projectionist in the factory, but also saved up money to buy a permanent brand [-] big-bar bicycle last year.

It is said that some time ago, after being introduced by someone, they talked about another object.

During this period of time, Xu Damao was in high spirits and triumphant.

Seeing that it was Xu Damao, Xu Qing shook his head and said:
"Forget it, Brother Da Mao, I'll just walk slowly, you go back first."

"Hey, I said you boy, my brother is happy today and is willing to give you a ride, but you still don't want to, hey, forget it if you freeze to death."

Xu Damao turned his head, stepped on the pedal with his right foot, and walked away in the blink of an eye.

A crooked car mark instantly appeared on the snow, but it was soon covered by a thin layer of falling snowflakes.

Xu Qing continued to walk slowly towards the factory gate.

As a result, when he arrived at the gate of the factory, he saw Xu Damao, who had already left on his bicycle, standing in the snow with a bruised nose and a swollen face.

The bicycle on the side is also lying quietly on the snow.

The wheels spun continuously, and the bright silver handlebars and black leather seat were also covered with mud and snow.

Obviously, Xu Damao was not paying attention when he was riding the bicycle just now, the wheels slipped and he fell.

Looking at the injuries on Xu Damao's face, it seems that he still fell badly.

Xu Qing breathed out, just now he declined Xu Damao's kindness, that's what he was afraid of.

Cycling in snow is inherently easy to fall.

Xu Damao dared to lead others, but Xu Qing dared not sit down.

Fortunately, I didn't sit down, otherwise I would have suffered a bruised nose and swollen face.

At this time, Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu also came, and saw Xu Damao's look of dejection.

Shazhu couldn't help but sarcastically said:

"Tsk tsk. Cycling in snowy weather looks really different!"

"Xu Damao, are you riding a bicycle, or are you letting the bicycle ride you?"

Xu Damao turned his head and glared at Sha Zhu, then hummed:
"Silly Zhu, while you go, my wrestling is better than some people riding without a bicycle."

"I can't even ride him if I want to, so I can only be jealous and stare!"

Xu Qing saw that the two started bickering again.

I was speechless in my heart.

Since coming to the compound, he has seen this scene every so often.

It can be said that the bickering between Xu Damao and Sha Zhu is a feature in the compound.

If one day I can't hear them, one of them must be out of the courtyard.

When the other workers in the factory who got off work saw this scene, they also stopped at the entrance of the factory.

However, they all left soon.

It's freezing cold, it's terribly cold, this winter is no better than summer, and now it's snowing all the time.

Even if some people like to watch the fun.

But at this moment, I was too cold to stand and had no thoughts.

Xu Qing also left, not daring to stay any longer.

First, it was too cold and it snowed heavily.

Secondly, he had to cook dinner for his three younger brothers and sisters as soon as he went back, and he didn't dare to delay.

Now, as the eldest brother in the family, he wants to set an example for the two younger brothers. He has to do everything first, and then let them learn slowly so that they can take care of their younger sister.

If Xu Qing didn't do such things as lighting a fire and cooking, the two younger brothers would just follow suit and do nothing, and the days to come would not be easy.

Furthermore, the eldest brother is the oldest and should also take care of younger siblings.

Lighting a fire and cooking, naturally fell on his head.

When Xu Qing returned to the house, it was very warm inside.

The three younger brothers and sisters had already lit the stove with matches, and a fire was also burning in the stove.

Now they are lying on the edge of the Kang together, doing homework.

Seeing Xu Qing's return, the three of them hurried to Xu Qing and stretched out their hands to help Xu Qing pat the snowflakes on his clothes.

Although the younger sister Xu Xiaoya is young, she is still a girl, delicate and considerate.

Not only did she help Xu Qing brush off the snow, but when she saw that Xu Qing's hands were red from the cold, she also thoughtfully picked up the kettle and poured a large enamel teapot with boiling water for Xu Qing.

"Brother, cover your hands."

Xu Qing took the tea mug and reached out to ice Xu Xiaoya's face on purpose.Then let the three little ones hurry up and do their homework.

He himself turned his head and walked into the kitchen, ready to cook.

In the kitchen, the iron pot on the stove was already steaming. Xu Qing opened the lid and took a look. There were steamed buns mixed with stick noodles inside.

The probe asked in the front room:
"Xiaoya, who put the steamed buns in the pot?"

The little girl turned her head, smiled and showed a naughty face to Xu Qing, and said:
"The steamed buns were put in by the third brother, and the fire was made by the second brother."

Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming were lying on the edge of the kang, their faces showing the shyness of teenagers, as if they had been exposed by the naughty girl. They invariably raised their hands and pinched Xu Xiaoya's little face gently.

Xu Qing hurriedly said:
"The three of you do your homework well and don't mess around anymore."

Xu Qing is seldom strict with his three younger siblings, since his parents are gone after all.Right now, he just wants them to study hard and grow up happily.

After working for half an hour, Xu Qing made dinner.

Because the steamed buns were put into the pot by the third brother Xu Fengming, and the stove was filled with briquettes by the second brother Xu Aiguo, the fire was burning vigorously, so he didn't have to worry about it.

Xu Qing cooked two dishes.

A plate of scrambled eggs.

A plate of Chinese cabbage and fried radish.

In addition, there was another plate of pickles from the clay pot where pickles were made.

There are not many vegetables in winter, so radishes and cabbage are easy to store and not expensive.

Xu Qing hasn't mastered the art of pickling pickled vegetables yet.

Fortunately, there is a deaf old lady in the courtyard who is good at pickling pickles. After being instructed, the three little ones like to eat the pickles pickled by Xu Qing.

Dinner is ready, and the three little ones have also finished their homework.

They all rushed into the kitchen and hurriedly carried things to the kang in the front room with Xu Qing.

The younger sister Xu Xiaoya is responsible for holding the dishes and chopsticks, the second brother Xu Aiguo is responsible for the scrambled eggs, and the third brother Xu Fengming is responsible for frying the cabbage and radish.

For a while, the small kitchen was crowded with people, but it was not crowded at all.

Xu Qingze took the steamed buns out of the pot, cracked an egg, poured it into the boiling water at the bottom of the pot, added some cabbage and radish, and simmered it for a while.

Then put it into a large porcelain basin with a spoon and take it out of the kitchen.

The four brothers and sisters sat on the warm kang and ate a warm dinner. Although it was just a simple meal, the three little ones ate with relish.

"Brother, I found that your steamed buns are getting more and more delicious, even catching up with the master chef in my school cafeteria."

"That's not right, the scrambled eggs are the best."

"What, this pickle is the best. I think it's more authentic than Liubiju's."

I saw the three little ones chattering non-stop.

Xu Qing suddenly felt that this winter didn't seem so cold anymore.

Then I thought that tomorrow would just catch up with Sunday, and then New Year's Day.

He doesn't go to work, and the three little ones don't have to get up early to go to school, so Qin Huairu can still pay back the money.

He secretly decided in his heart that as soon as Qin Huairu paid back the money tomorrow, he would go to the supply and marketing agency to buy half a catty of pork and make dumplings for the three little ones.
