Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 311 is different

Xu Qing was not at all surprised by the second uncle's arrival.

Because of the matter of the two brothers Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, rumors have already spread in the compound.

No one in the compound knows, even if they don't want to know, it's hard.

After all, this involves the two elders in charge of the courtyard, so although the matter is not a big one, it is not an easy task to handle it properly.

After Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian fought for the first time, the first uncle Yi Zhonghai held a courtyard meeting and asked the third and second uncles to restrain their sons.

But whether it was Yan Jiecheng or Liu Guangtian, they simply ignored the words of the third and second uncles.

After that, a second fight broke out. As a big man, Yi Zhonghai obviously had little effect if he wanted to be the peacemaker again.

However, Xu Qing was a little helpless about what the second uncle said at the door.

He didn't want to get involved in such a bad thing in the courtyard.

First, this kind of thing is not easy to handle, and it might offend people on both sides.

Secondly, Xu Qing was still thinking about his younger siblings going to college, and had no time to care about other people's families.

Besides, he is not the steward of the compound.

It stands to reason that when this kind of incident happened in the courtyard, the three elders in charge should come forward to mediate and deal with it. In terms of qualifications and seniority, it was not Xu Qing's turn.

However, since the third and second uncles were involved, and the first uncle, Yi Zhonghai, after seeing the brothers Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian fighting again, knew that this matter was not easy to mediate, so he didn't want to deal with it.

As a result, the only people in the courtyard who can do this are Xu Qing and Xu Damao, who are cadres.

It's just that Liu Haizhong had a feud with Xu Damao, so he didn't want to look for him, so he turned to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing suddenly felt that he was too tired as a cadre.

Things in the factory are very busy, and I can't do anything if I don't want to take care of the things in the yard.

Xu Qing smiled wryly in his heart, and after thinking for a while, he took the second uncle to the house of the third uncle in the front yard.

The third master, the third mother, and Yu Li saw that Liu Haizhong had invited Xu Qing over, and the three of them looked at each other, each thumping in their hearts.

Knowing that Liu Haizhong asked Xu Qing to intervene.

But Xu Qing is a cadre, and the third master and the third mother have to show face.

Even if you don't like it, you can only endure it.

The shrewd Yan Bugui would never refute Xu Qing's face.

He is a schoolteacher, and he is a manager in the courtyard, but outside the courtyard, who would recognize him?

But Xu Qing is different. Xu Qing is a cadre. Even after leaving the compound, he has to be polite to the people he meets. In the future, if Xu Qing leaps over the dragon gate and becomes a bigger official, That's great. He still wants to follow Zhan Guang'er, so he won't embarrass Xu Qing.

As for Yu Li, Xu Qing helped her change workshops in the factory at the request of the third master.

Since Xu Qing came, she hugged her daughter and sat aside without saying a word.

In any case, with Xu Qing's prestige and popularity in the factory and courtyard, she knew that even if she didn't let go today and fought to the death with Liu Haizhong's family, Xu Qing wouldn't lose face.

She doesn't care about Liu Haizhong's family, but Xu Qing can't.

When she was a girl, Xu Qing was not married, but she had liked him.

Of course, I like Xu Qing, on the one hand, because Xu Qing is a high school educated person, not to mention his unique culture, he is also capable and good-looking.

On the other hand, Xu Qingji was promoted in the factory at a young age and became a cadre.

How many single female workers in the factory, seeing Xu Qing is like seeing a piece of fat, all dream of marrying, and then enjoy the happiness.

And there was no reason why Yu Li didn't like it at that time.

Even now, as long as Xu Qing tells her that he wants to be nice to her, then Yu Li will kick Yan Jiecheng off without hesitation and agree without hesitation.

Xu Qingke has been promoted to a first-level clerk in the factory, and he is much better than when he was first promoted.

In addition, Xu Qing's younger siblings have always had a good relationship with Xu Qing.

It's not like Yan Jiecheng's four brothers and sisters, who know how to intrigue each other.

And this is not counting Yan Bugui and the third aunt who are always fussy and scheming.

No one in the in-laws' family is close to her, especially the two younger uncles and sister-in-law Yan Jiedi, who are not a little bit worse than Xu Qing's younger siblings.

During Ma Jinghong's pregnancy, Xu Aiguo and the little girl helped Xu Qing take care of her every day.

And her?The two younger uncles, together with Yan Jiedi's heartless sister-in-law, bullied her together.

Yu Li felt chilled as she thought about it, her eyes showed sadness, and she glanced at Xu Qing secretly. She couldn't help but secretly feel in her heart that she was really blind, why did she choose to marry Yan Jiecheng so casually?
And her decision to marry Yan Jiecheng was not made casually.

With Yu Li's mentality, how could she marry just anyone?

There are so many single male workers in the factory, why not choose someone else?Instead, he chose Yan Jiecheng.

That's not because she found out that Yan Jiecheng, like Xu Qing, graduated from high school and has a high level of education.

There is also a "work-for-do" policy in the factory, where cadres are selected from among ordinary workers.

Therefore, after careful consideration, Yu Li felt that Yan Jiecheng might be able to advance, so she married him.

It's a pity that her calculations are clinking. The problem is that after the change of the sky, no one in the factory will carry out the matter of "replacing work with workers".

Yan Jiecheng is still just an ordinary worker, and Yu Li regrets it terribly, but she married Yan Jiecheng anyway, even if she regrets it, it's useless.

At this time, Liu Haizhong was sitting on Xu Qing's right hand side. Seeing that the third master and the third mother accepted Xu Qing's proposal, but Yu Li kept silent, apparently acquiescing, so he was secretly happy, thinking that he would find Xu Qing today. Qing, you are so right.

Or Xu Qing, a cadre with great dignity, could get things done with just a few words.

Xu Qing's proposal was to let the third uncle and the others make a slight concession in terms of compensation, from one hundred and two to one hundred and fifty.

Although Liu Haizhong was still a little dissatisfied with one hundred and five, but Xu Qing didn't dare to show it on his face when he said the number.

If it weren't for Xu Qing, with his old face, let alone 50 yuan less, even if he lost [-] cents, it might not be less.

Yan Bugui's old couple loves money like life, and they are stingy to death. Liu Haizhong has spent most of his life in the courtyard, so how could he not know.

As for Yu Li, although she had only been married to Da Yuan for a few years, she also worked at the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill, so Liu Haizhong still knew her somewhat.

Yu Li scolded and bickered with others in the factory, and never heard of a time when she suffered a disadvantage.

Although it has not been a few years since she married into the compound, Liu Haizhong can't see or hear Yu Li's behavior in the compound.

Therefore, Xu Qing made his family pay 50 yuan less with a few words, and the dissatisfaction in the center of the bangs was nothing.

When Xu Qing and Liu Haizhong came out of the third uncle's house, Liu Haizhong immediately took out a cigarette and hurriedly gave Xu Qing one.

With 50 yuan less, he didn't need him to contribute to the two unlucky sons, and Liu Haizhong felt indescribably happy.

Xu Qing took the cigarette, walked back to the backyard, and said to Liu Haizhong:

"Second uncle, 150 yuan. If your family can't get it out at once, you can give it in two installments. As much as you can give today, you will give it first, and the rest will be paid later."

The dizzy Liu Haizhong was still wondering whether the two sons could only make up one hundred and twenty yuan, and whether he should pay for the remaining 30 yuan.

Hearing Xu Qing's words at this time, he was suddenly enlightened, finally woke up, and said in shock:

"That's right, let the two sons give the one hundred and twenty yuan to Yu Li first, and the remaining 30 yuan, they two bastards will not give it later, why should I pay for them to wipe their butts?"

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Qing, and couldn't help but feel that cadres are indeed different, and their minds are brighter than ordinary people.

The two returned to the backyard, and Liu Haizhong turned around and returned to his house, asking his two unlucky sons to quickly get money and deliver it to the front yard.

Xu Qingze went towards the hut where his second brother Aiguo lived.

It has been 70 years now, and this year the country will enroll the first batch of "college students of workers, peasants and soldiers."

Xu Qing intends to ask the second brother to dig out the high school books and review them in advance.

After all, it has been two or three years since I graduated from Patriotism and started working in a factory. I must have forgotten something in my studies. It would be impossible if I didn’t catch up on it earlier.

As for the little girl, of course she has to review, but she just graduated last year, so there is no need to be too anxious for her patriotism.

But Feng Ming, the third brother who went to the countryside to jump in the queue, was not in the courtyard. Xu Qing planned to tell him when he went to the countryside to visit after a while.

Xu Qing walked into the hut where Xu Aiguo lived. When Xu Aiguo saw his elder brother coming, he hurriedly sat up on the bed, quickly hid the book in his hand under the pillow, and said with a smile:
"Brother, why are you here?"

Xu Qing looked at his second brother and asked instead:
"What book is hidden under the pillow?"

"Nothing."

Xu Aiguo looked a little flustered.

Xu Qing didn't ask, but said: "If it's a bad book, don't read it."

Xu Aiguo stretched out his hand and scratched his head, closed the door, took out the book from under the pillow, and handed it to Xu Qing.

"Brother, it is "Resurrection" by Mr. Tolstoy of the Soviet Union."

Xu Qing lowered his head and took a look. It was really Lao Tuo's resurrection, but these days, reading this book is forbidden. If it is discovered, it will be in trouble.

And this also explains why Patriotic just hid in a hurry.

"Okay, put it away, don't let others know."

Xu Aiguo hummed, and immediately stuffed the "Resurrection" in his hand under the pillow again.

There were only two Xu Qing brothers in the room, Xu Qing sat on the second brother's bed and said:

"Patriotic, you find all the books you left in high school during this time, and read them if you have nothing to do."

Xu Aiguo's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he said with joy on his face, "Brother, is the country going to recruit college students soon?"

"It's coming soon, only a few months."

"Okay, I'll look for it now."

Xu Aiguo looked excited, bent down and squatted in front of the bed, pulled out the wooden box under the bed with his probe, blew off a thick layer of dust on it, took out the key, opened the lock, and put the wooden box at the bottom of the box. The book on the left is held out.

"By the way, big brother, what about the third brother's books?" Xu Aiguo frowned, "He is going to the countryside, and these books are with me, so he can't review them."

"It's okay, I'll bring it to him when I go to the countryside to see him."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he saw his second brother put the book in his arms on the wooden table by the window, and he was also sitting in front of him, flipping through it carefully, and instantly felt that it was still the second brother's self-awareness.

If it had been Feng Ming, if he hadn't been urged, he probably wouldn't have opened the book and taken a look at it today.

Xu Aiguo was reading a book, Xu Qing didn't bother him, stood up and opened the door and walked out, then went towards the little girl who was washing clothes in the yard.

At this moment, under the urging of the second uncle, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were preparing to go to the front yard with the money they had collected.

Xu Qing saw it, but ignored it.

If the second uncle Liu Haizhong hadn't come to the house in person today, Xu Qingcai wouldn't bother to care about the trouble they caused.

Whether they are willing to pay the front yard or not is their business. Even if Yu Li calls the police and gets locked up, it has nothing to do with Xu Qing.

I like to jump even if I have no skills. I didn't get into the game this time, and I will get into it sooner or later.

When Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu saw Xu Qing, they didn't take the initiative to speak, although they learned from Liu Haizhong that the front yard can let go, at least 50 yuan, thanks to Xu Qing.

But from their point of view, Xu Qing went to the front yard because his father invited him, not them, so why should they be grateful to Xu Qing.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu went out of the backyard and went to the front yard.

At this time, Xu Qing also walked to the little girl's side.

"Xiaoya, after washing the clothes, don't be too busy. Go back to your room and take out your high school textbooks to review."

The little girl sat on the bench, rubbing Xiao Hongzhi's trousers with both hands, raised her head when she heard the elder brother's words, blinked her eyes and said:
"Brother, can my second brother, third brother, and I go to college?"

"Ah."

Xu Qing nodded.

The little girl's pretty face suddenly showed a smile, and she said with a smile: "Then big brother, after I finish washing the clothes, I will go back to the room and read a book."

Xu Qing hummed again, sat next to the little girl, and looked at the sensible sister. He felt good-looking no matter how he looked at her.

In particular, the little girl has become more and more mature as she grows up, and her delicate face, especially her delicate face, is really handsome and pretty, not inferior to the girls from the daughter-in-law Jinghong's art troupe.

What's more, the little girl is very virtuous and hardworking. In this bright spring, Xu Qing felt more and more that his younger sister was more beautiful than Yang Likun who acted in the movie.

And Yang Likun is considered to be the most outstanding actress this year, but unfortunately that was before the change of heaven.

Since the sky changed, this actress has disappeared.

In this warm spring weather, Xu Qing sat in the courtyard and chatted with his sister. The spring breeze was warm, the sun was shining brightly, the sky was blue and white clouds were fluttering, everything was indescribably beautiful.

The chaos in the courtyard seemed to have come to an end, and everything was moving in the most beautiful direction.

Ma Jinghong came out of the house with her son in her arms, and seeing Xu Qing was so leisurely, she threw Xiao Hongzhi to Xu Qing, and she accompanied the little girl to wash the clothes together.

Xu Qing held his son in his arms. The father and son looked at each other, one big and one small, looking at each other speechlessly.

The little guy wasn't ready to speak yet, but Xu Qing was full of words and didn't dare to speak.

Jinghong looked a little angry just now, so Xu Qing had no choice but to keep silent and listen to his wife and sister chatting.
