Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 325 Another outstanding place

When Yan Bugui heard what Xu Qing said, he immediately felt relieved. He turned to look at Xu Fengming and said with a smile:
"Feng Ming, now you and your second brother are patriotic, and Xiaoya. You have all gone to college. In our college, you are senior intellectuals. Whatever good ideas you have learned in college, you have to give them to everyone. Preach, preach, and let us all follow and learn.”

Xu Fengming grinned. Seeing that the third master changed the subject, he stopped deliberately talking about the electricity bill.

The third master is notoriously stingy, and the people in the compound, who can know.

He was just talking and didn't really think about charging the electricity bill.

Otherwise, how could Jia Zhang just grind the beans and leave.

"Third Master, I can't say it well. Our school has a new idea for a while, and different departments have different discussions. If I say it, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it until the New Year's Eve. How about you?" It’s time to come to our school, and I’ll ask our teacher to communicate with you.”

When Yan Bugui heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said, "I'll forget it. How can my little ink compare with the teachers in your university? I don't mind discussing it with others, but I'm afraid they won't appreciate it."

It's not that Yan Bugui is self-effacing, but he knows that he is no match for those university teachers. He has never studied knowledge seriously, but when it comes to how to save money, he does have a lot of experience.

It's just that Yan Bugui just talked casually and didn't really want Xu Fengming to talk about the new trends in the university in the courtyard.

But he didn't expect that Xu Fengming actually followed his words, and couldn't help but thumped again in his heart, then hurriedly talked about other things again, and asked:

"Feng Ming, I heard that in your university, there are quite a few people who go to the countryside to join the team. It seems that there are also some workers who are learning junior high school culture with you."

"Well, that's right!" Xu Fengming helped the first mother to move the bucket of rice that had just been filled aside, and said to Yan Bugui, "Third Master, do you want Brother Xie Cheng to go to college too?" ?”

Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and said nothing. Of course he thought, but his son Yan Jiecheng didn't want to, so what could he do?

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said: "Feng Ming, brother, I'm not going. I feel so comfortable working in the factory. Why go to school and suffer the consequences?"

Xu Fengming looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile and was speechless.

The soybeans at Da Ma's house were soon finished, and Yan Bugui hurriedly poured his soybeans into the iron mill, and then asked Yan Xiecheng to put the foreign tin bucket brought from the front yard under it to continue.

Ma Jinghong came out of the house with her son in her arms, saw Yan Bugui, and asked, "Third uncle, why didn't my third aunt come over?"

"Hey, your third mom is busy cooking in the house, so it's just me and my eldest."

Yan Jiecheng didn't want to come at all, but he couldn't help it. He planned to spend the New Year with Yu Li and his parents so as to save money for the family. However, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang sneaked out of the compound early in the morning. Come on, could it be possible to let Yan Jiedi come?
Yan Jiedi was still fuming with him because Yu Li said last night that she would not go to school and work, so she could consider getting married. The words were a bit harsh. She was cursing in the front yard early in the morning, but Yan Jiecheng couldn't control his sister. .

At this time, Yan Jiecheng looked at Xiao Hongzhi in Ma Jinghong's arms, stepped forward with a cigarette in his mouth, reached out and pinched the little guy's face, teasing him.

He is also a man with children. Currently, there are only two children in the courtyard, his daughter and Xu Qing's son.

I have just become a parent, so I don't have any experience, but Yan Jiecheng is very familiar with holding a child.

Taking Xiao Hongzhi from Jinghong, Yan Jiecheng carried him to Xu Qing, said with a smile:
"Qingzi, as I said last time, our two families can order a baby to kiss. Your son has just turned one, and my daughter is about to turn one, too. When the time comes, on my daughter's first birthday, let's finalize this matter. We are the in-laws."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing. He had no intention of finding a wife for his son now.

However, knowing that Yan Jiecheng was joking, Xu Qing chatted with him for a while.

It's just that when Yan Bugui heard this, he seriously thought about it in his mind. If his granddaughter could make a baby kiss with Xu Qing's son, the relationship between his family and Xu Qing's family would be one step closer.

As for whether the two children will get together in the future, that is a matter for the future. At least in the compound right now, once my family is married to Xu Qing's family, no one in the courtyard would dare to talk about their own right and wrong behind their backs.

Yan Bugui was so absorbed that he forgot to stare at the iron bucket under the iron roller. The freshly ground pulp was almost overflowing the edge of the bucket. Fortunately, Xu Fengming had quick eyes and quick hands, so he quickly grabbed the empty bucket beside him and brought it to the side. Standing in front of the small hole under the iron roller, he shouted to Yan Bugui:

"Hey, third master, what are you thinking, quickly move the barrel away, or I don't care about it."

Yan Bugui regained his senses, quickly picked up a bucket full of pulp, turned his head and hurried back to the front yard.

The red sun rises from the east, and the bangs urge the second aunt to take the soybeans that have been soaked overnight and walk to the door of Xu Qing's house.

Xu Damao got up relatively late, and when he opened the thick curtain and came out, Qin Jingru followed behind him.

Qin Jingru walked around the courtyard several times this morning, but she didn't bring out the soybeans at home in advance.

Xu Damao didn't say anything, how dare she.

The old lady leaned on a cane and was talking to the little girl. The backyard was so lively today. The oldest and most senior ancestor in the yard came out to walk around after staying in the house for a long time.

It's still cold, but the sun is out and it's only going to get warmer.

When Silly Zhu came, the third uncle took Yan Jiecheng back to the front yard, each carrying two buckets of syrup with a strong bean smell.

There are many people in Yan Bugui's family in the front yard, so they naturally make more tofu.

It is almost as much as the Jia family and the first master's family in the middle court.

But Yan Bugui did not use water to get the spot out of the roller like Jia Zhang did.

Yan Bugui is stingy, but he doesn't bother to pretend to be poor, nor is he willing to shame like Jia Zhangshi, even that.

Yan Bugui is a person who wants face, and he has his own set of rules when he is stingy.

Never do anything embarrassing.

The soybeans of the two families in the middle courtyard are finished, and the three masters' house in the front yard is also finished, and the rest live in the backyard.

Xu Qing was not in a hurry, and let the second uncle and Xu Damao's family grind first.

Xu Damao raised his eyelids and looked into his bangs, but said nothing.

Qin Jingru and the second aunt looked at each other and rushed to pour their own soybeans into the roller.

Xu Damao turned around and glared at Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru had no choice but to put the basin of soybeans in her hand aside and let the second uncle's family come first.

Xu Damao is very good at being a man, even though he said that he had a bad fight with the second uncle Liu Haizhong, he cursed hatefully from time to time in his heart.

But on the surface, Xu Damao really didn't break up with Liu Haizhong and the second aunt in the courtyard, and his face was red.

That is to say, Liu Haizhong has always been worried about Xu Damao taking away his black gauze hat in the factory.

As for the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, Xu Damao didn't even dare to fart.

Xu Damao is a member of the 'G Committee' of the factory and also serves as the deputy director.

It was too late for Liu Guangtian to curry favor, so how could he dare to challenge him?

When it comes to snobbery in the courtyard, these two brothers definitely occupy the first and second place.

After all, he is so snobbish that he doesn't even care about his own parents, which can be said to be unparalleled.

Of course, the reason why they are like this is also caused by the second uncle's education with sticks.

It's just that Xu Damao didn't bother to talk to them, even if Liu Guangtian asked him to buy a drink, he wouldn't go.

Because in Xu Damao's opinion, these two useless snacks still want to drink with him at the same table. Is it worthy? !

Xu Damao is enjoying himself as the deputy director now, and he has secretly benefited himself from the factory.

As for inspections in the factory, Xu Damao is in the 'G committee', who dares?

Furthermore, Xu Damao did everything so well that even if someone checked him behind his back, there would be no flaws.

Especially since Xu Damao and Director Li are on the same boat, if something happens to him, Director Li has to find a way to protect him.

After all, the small yellow croaker given by Xu Damao was not so easy to get.

Whoever Xu Damao is, that's not something Director Li can get rid of easily if he wants to.

If it were Liu Haizhong like that, Director Li would just kick him.

You don't have to worry about any worries at all.

But Xu Damao, Director Li dared to kick him, so he had to stick to his body and peel off a layer of skin!

At this time, Liu Haizhong saw that he had ground the beans first, and glanced at Xu Damao. After saying a few words to Xu Qing, he turned around and walked to the second aunt, and the two of them picked up the pulp in buckets.

Xu Damao stretched his waist and greeted Liu Haizhong: "Second uncle, good morning."

Liu Haizhong's face was sullen and he didn't respond.

Xu Damao didn't care about this, and cursed in his heart, the old man doesn't know how to praise!
But his face didn't show any dissatisfaction.

He had the manners he should have, as for what happened to Liu Haizhong, that was his own business, he didn't care about it, the people in the courtyard saw it, and they would have their own judgment.

Xu Damao is a shrewd person, even one of the ten bangs is not cowardly.

"Qingzi, how many soybeans did your family soak last night?"

Xu Damao walked up to Xu Qing and asked.

Xu Qing hugged his son and said: "35 pounds. There are many people in the family this year, so I will make more."

"That's more than 100 catties of tofu, right?"

"Yes." Xu Qing glanced at his daughter-in-law Jinghong. Ma Jinghong walked up to her and left with her son in her arms.

Xu Qing reached out and took out a cigarette, handed one to Shazhu and Xu Damao, and then the three of them smoked and chatted.

Mainly Xu Qing and Xu Damao talked, Shazhu didn't say much.

However, the relationship between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao has eased due to Yu Yu's marriage, and is not as rigid as before.

Coupled with the presence of Xu Qing, the story was gradually turned.

But when Silly Zhu saw Qin Jingru, he felt unhappy. Before finishing a cigarette, he walked towards Xu Fengming, put his arm around Xu Fengming's shoulders, and started chatting with Liu Haizhong, the second uncle.

But before the beans were ground, Silly Zhu was so angry that he blew his beard and glared at him in his bangs.

Silly Zhu was full of nonsense and broke his mouth. He could choke on three words in his bangs, and the second uncle was speechless for a while.

The second aunt also helped her own old Liu and had a few words with Sha Zhu, but in the end, within a minute of effort, she was defeated.

Qin Jingru was on the side, chatting with Jinghong, eating melon seeds and looking at the second aunt and second uncle, laughing secretly in her heart.

After all, in the compound, when it comes to talking skills, it seems that there are really not many people who can suppress Silly Zhu.

Even Yu Yu, a younger sister, said that none of the three stewards in the courtyard were his brother's rival.

As for the others, let alone think about it.

Silhu Zhupian was a bit poor, but he never messed around with others, and he never bothered to use Jia Zhang's unreasonable tricks.

Silly Zhu likes to convince people with reason, no matter it is a big or small principle, as long as it makes sense, whether it is crooked or not, it doesn't matter, as long as it makes sense.

And this is another area where Shazhu stands out besides his cooking skills.

Yan Bugui, the third grandpa in the front yard, has a lot of ink in his stomach, but when he meets a silly pillar, it's really not like a scholar meets a soldier.

But it was a piece of truth from Silly Zhu that could choke him and make him speechless.

The third uncle always likes to show off his knowledge, but Silly Zhu likes to refute him with the third uncle's principles, and then uses the great leader's remarks, so that Yan Bugui can only stare, say something unreasonable, and leave angrily.

The three uncles are no match for Silly Zhu, and Liu Haizhong is even less so.

Liu Haizhong's face turned dark when Sha Zhu said that, and he felt depressed. He couldn't understand why he provoked this guy like Sha Zhu today.

It was clearly his fault, but why did he ignore it?

Liu Haizhong looked at Silly Zhu, furious, but he couldn't say anything. As soon as his soybeans were ground, he immediately turned around and took the second aunt back to the house.

Xu Fengming picked up Brother Thumb and said, "Brother Yuzhu, you are awesome!"

Silly Zhu grinned, put his hands in his pockets and said:
"What the hell, the second uncle and the second aunt don't know how to play. I'm just warming up."

Xu Fengming also chuckled, "Brother Yuzhu, you have to teach me this skill in the future."

"Want to learn?"

"No, Brother Yuzhu, your skills will be of great use!"

Silly Zhu was praised and reached out to touch his head, feeling a little embarrassed.

"You'll have to look at it later."

Xu Fengming hummed, reached out and took out a cigarette, handed one to Shazhu, and asked in a low voice.

And at the same time.

Xu Aiguo was in the room, quietly reading a book and reviewing his homework.

He didn't listen to or pay attention to the excitement in the courtyard.

When Qin Jingru's family finished grinding the beans, the little girl went into the house and took the soybeans soaked in the kitchen out of the house.

At this moment, Xu Aiguo put down the book in his hand, stood up, walked into the kitchen, and took out another large pot of soybeans.

At this time, there were not many people in the backyard. The beans of each family were ground into pulp, and they were all busy making tofu.

Only Yan Jiecheng, who was in the front yard, didn't want to be a coolie, so he ran to the back yard to hide and relax with his daughter in his arms.

The red sun climbed higher in the eastern sky, and the snow in the yard began to gradually melt. The little girl and Jinghong, the sister-in-law, slowly poured soybeans into the roller.

Xu Fengming and Aiguo, one was lighting the fire on the kitchen stove in the house, while the other stayed outside to carry the full buckets of pulp to the kitchen with his eldest brother Xu Qing.

Silly Zhu hugged Xiao Hongzhi, staring at the roller while chatting nonsense with Yan Jiecheng.

After more than ten minutes, the iron roller stopped turning, and there was no one in the backyard.

The kitchen of Xu Qing's house was full of people.

Silly Zhu helped Xu Qing and Jing Hong order tofu with brine, but there was not enough brine in Xu Qing's room. Silly Zhu turned to Xu Fengming and said, "Boy, go get it from the cupboard in my house. I still have some at home."

Hearing this, Xu Fengming immediately ran out of the kitchen and headed towards the middle courtyard.

As for Yi Zhonghai's family and Jia's family in the middle courtyard, these two were the first to grind beans and make tofu first.

Yi Zhonghai asked his eldest mother to cut two kilograms into pieces, put them in a big bowl, and prepared to give them to Xu Qing.

His beans are ground with a mill made by Xu Qing. Xu Qing doesn't want anything, not even the electricity bill.

Yi Zhonghai doesn't like to owe favors or take advantage of things like this.

But Mr. Jia Zhang likes to do it, and as long as he can take advantage of it, even if it is a sesame seed, he will not let it go.

But Qin Huairu didn't care about her mother-in-law's behavior at all. Xu Qing helped her family a lot. Today she made tofu and cut two or three kilograms. While Jia Zhang went to the front yard to find the third aunt, she let her Xiaodang hurriedly sent him to the backyard to save her from seeing him.

Holding the tofu, Xiao Dang opened the curtain and came out of the house, and saw Xu Fengming just coming out of the silly pillar house with the brine, twitching braids and grinningly said:
"Uncle Fengming, my family just made tofu. My mother asked me to give these to your family."

"Xiao Dang, my family also makes tofu, no need."

Xu Fengming was refusing, but Jia Zhang returned to the middle courtyard from the front yard. When he saw it, he immediately started to ouch.
