Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home
Chapter 326
Chapter 326
"You damn girl, you don't understand anything!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang stared at Xiaodang, and complained: "Your uncle Fengming's family bought more than 30 catties of soybeans, and they are short of a few pieces of tofu from our family. Aren't you making Fengming look bad, really!"
When Xu Fengming saw what Jia Zhang said, he was taken aback, and said with a playful smile:
"Auntie, courtesy is light and affection is heavy. Even if it's a tael of tofu, it's your family's wish. I can't accept it."
Xu Fengming reached out to take the enamel bowl in Xiaodang's hand, grinned at the corner of his dark face, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, thanked Xiaodang, turned and went back to the backyard.
Jiazhang was stunned, his face darkened suddenly, but he couldn't take back the bowl in Feng Ming's hand, so he gouged Xiao Dang fiercely with his eyes, dragged him into his house, and said in a deep voice:
"You damn girl, who told you to take out the tofu made by our family?!"
Jia Zhang was so annoyed that she sat on the edge of the kang, squinted at Xiao Dang, and couldn't help but opened her mouth to reprimand again.
"You have no conscience, you just learned to turn your elbows outward at a young age. When you get married, will you give away all the things at home? Do you still let me live with your mother?"
Xiao Dang looked aggrieved, lowered his head, did not dare to look at Jia Zhang who was scolding harshly, looked at his hands, and muttered in a low voice: "Then we used the roller from Uncle Fengming's house, shouldn't we give some tofu, let's talk about it." , Those few pieces of tofu are only two or three catties, and they are not expensive."
When Jiazhang heard Xiaodang's soft complaints, she suddenly became angry, raised her hand and picked up the feather duster on the kang, and wanted to teach him a lesson.
"You lose money, your mother and I have raised you for nothing! You can buy three catties of tofu at the state-run store for not a dime. Does our family have a lot of money?"
Just when Jiazhang was about to vent his anger with the petty pawn, Qin Huairu rushed out from the kitchen and stopped her:
"Mom, what are you doing? I asked Xiaodang to send the tofu to Xu Qing's family. They have helped our family a lot over the years. The clothes on your body, Xiaodang, Sophora japonica, and what I wore, I didn't use them from Xu Qing's family. made of sewing machines.
Today our family uses someone else's roller to make tofu, why do you always fuss over such trivial matters. "
"Can I do it without worrying about it?" Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu with gloomy eyes, "You don't know what's going on in our house?"
"He, Xu Qing, works as a cadre in the factory, and you also work in the factory. Shouldn't he be a cadre to help our family?"
Jia Zhang kept crackling, "Yes, the family relies on you to make money, you can do whatever you want, my son is gone, and you won't listen to what I say."
Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, what can she do with such a mother-in-law?
Jiazhang put the feather duster in his hand on the kang, glanced at Xiaodang, wiped his tears with his hand, and sighed:
"Poor my grandson, he is still suffering in the countryside, and he won't be able to come back before the Chinese New Year."
Xiao Dang turned around and pushed his mother back to the kitchen. At the same time, he stuck out his tongue at his younger sister Huai Hua who was at a loss, signaling to leave grandma alone.
Seeing this, Huaihua followed Xiaodang into the kitchen, and helped her mother with her sister.
No one paid any attention to Mrs. Jia and Zhang, and let her sit on the kang alone, saddened by herself.
Anyway, the more reasonable they are, the more noisy Jia and Zhang are. Over the years, Qin Huairu and the two daughters have gotten used to it.
in the backyard.
Xu Fengming took the brine from Silly Zhu's house, and returned to his own house with the tofu. Xu Qing looked at it and asked doubtfully:
"Feng Ming, who gave this tofu?"
"Hey, who can do it, Sister Huairu will ask Xiaodang to give it to me!"
"Ms. Zhang is willing?"
"How can it be?" Xu Fengming handed the tofu to the little girl, and said to Xu Qing:
"Brother, it's not like you don't know. Aunt Zhang is stingy, and the third master will stay away. She definitely doesn't want it. When I gave it to me, I didn't want it either. It's not Aunt Zhang who speaks in a weird way. I just I just took it."
Xu Qing smiled wryly, not knowing what to say for a while.
In the past, when Feng Ming was young, Jia Zhang had picked on him a few times. According to the temperament of the third brother, it is naturally impossible to let Jia Zhang speak sarcasticly in front of him today.
But the third brother accepted Jia's tofu, and Xu Qing would not let him send it back.
But at this moment, Yi Zhonghai came to Xu Qing's house with tofu, and when he heard Xu Qing and Feng Ming's words, he said with a smile:
"You Aunt Zhang is just that one person. You are all educated and educated. Don't be as knowledgeable as her who doesn't know a single word."
Xu Qing reached out and took out a cigarette and handed Yi Zhonghai a stick:
"My lord, what you said makes sense."
Yi Zhonghai took the cigarette and gave Xu Qing the tofu he brought himself:
"This is something made by my family. Your mother and I can't eat much. You let Zhuzi and the old lady stay at your house for the Chinese New Year this year. If you don't have enough tofu in the future, you let Zhuzi come to my house to get it."
Xu Qing accepted it with a smile, and while greeting Yi Zhonghai, he hurriedly asked the little girl to bring it into the kitchen and pour it into her own bowl, and then gave the old man's bowl and Jia's bowl to the old man for help to bring back Intermediate Court.
After Yi Zhonghai finished smoking a cigarette, he turned around and left, Xu Qing sent him out of the house, and then returned to the kitchen, where he and Sha Zhu continued to be busy making tofu.
After a lot of busy work, Xu Qing’s family’s tofu was ready after more than 20 minutes. Shazhu divided the tofu into evenly sized pieces with a kitchen knife, then stood in front of the chopping board in the kitchen, holding the kitchen knife and started his special skill .
Xu Fengming stood in front of him, looking forward to eating Sha Zhu's tofu with shallots. '
At this time, the third mother in the front yard brought some pieces of tofu, and walked into Xu Qing's house one after another with Liu Haizhong.
Today, everyone has enjoyed the glory of Xu Qing's family, and each family's tofu is ready, so naturally they have to come to show it.
As for Xu Damao's room, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were standing in the kitchen and scrambling around the stove.
When Xu Damao was alone, he never celebrated the New Year in the courtyard, and he didn't know how to make tofu.
The years when he did not divorce Lou Xiaoe, he spent almost all of them with his parents. Now he is married to Qin Jingru, and Qin Jingru has only been married to the compound for a few years. When she was a girl, she lived in a rural home. I also made tofu with my parents, but it was always a helper, and the technique was not skilled.
At this time, Qin Jingru hadn't made his own tofu yet, so Xu Damao was in no hurry to bring some to Xu Qing's family.
What's more, he saw Liu Haizhong and the third mother go to Xu Qing's house through the kitchen window, so he even wanted to wait for Xu Qing's family to be less, before going there.
At this moment in Xu Qing's house, Sha Zhu had already made six bowls of tofu mixed with shallots in the kitchen, and Feng Ming and the little girl were bringing them to the front room.
But when Liu Haizhong and the three mothers caught up, Xu Qing had no choice but to ask Sha Zhu to make a few more bowls.
Who made Shazhu's unique skill, ordinary people can't learn it.It seems simple, but the problem is that it is really hands-on, the same material, but it can't make the taste in Shazhu's hand.
In any case, not everyone can be a good chef. From ancient times to the present, as many people work diligently, there are very few famous ones.
Xu Fengming couldn't wait to eat it, but seeing the third mother and the second uncle came to the house, he had to hand them two bowls of tofu mixed with shallots.
"Third Mom, Second Uncle, you two are blessed. Brother Yuzhu just made it at my house. I can tell it's delicious just by smelling it."
Xu Fengming was really greedy, as he spoke, his mouth was drooling.
I haven't eaten it for two years, so there is no reason not to be greedy.
Everyone in the courtyard knows Shazhu's skill.
Although there are not many people who can eat it, no one who has eaten it praises or admires it.
The third mother, the first mother and the second aunt, the three of them, just to make the taste of Shazhu, have been asking Shazhu every year for these years, trying to find out Shazhu's exclusive secret.
But Shazhu would laugh every time, but he didn't say anything.
Today, the three mothers ate the exclusive shallot mixed tofu made by Shazhu at Xu Qing's house, and couldn't help asking:
"Silly Zhu, just tell my aunt, don't be petty, what are you doing hiding, how did you mix tofu with shallots, why did I do it, your third master always dislikes that it is not as good as you ?”
Sha Zhu bared his teeth and chuckled, crossed his legs, held the bowl in his hand and said:
"Third Mom, you can eat as long as you want, why are you still thinking about my third master, he dislikes your cooking is not delicious, you let my third master cook it by himself."
Shazhu still didn't want to reveal it. The third mother looked at Shazhu faintly while chewing the delicious food in her mouth, and said to Ma Jinghong:
"Jinghong, have you seen that this boy Shazhu is so narrow-minded."
Silly Zhu snorted, "Third Mom, don't bother thinking about it, I won't tell Jinghong either, I will only tell my future wife about my unique skill."
In fact, the third mother was about to tell Jinghong to ask her to help her find out, but when she heard what Shazhu said, she had no choice but to swallow the words on her lips with tofu.
Holding the bowl in his hand, Xu Fengming swept away the tofu, licked the corner of his mouth, and said:
"Brother Yuzhu, I'm gone, you can promise me, let me have a good time!"
Upon hearing this, Silly Zhu put the bowls and chopsticks in his hand on the table beside him, stood up and said:
"Hey, you kid thinks I'm not tired. Wait, brother, I'll go into the kitchen and make two more bowls for you."
Liu Haizhong sat on the side, quietly eating the tofu in his own bowl, and when he heard that Sha Zhu wanted to make two more bowls for Xu Fengming, he hurriedly stopped the bowl and chopsticks, raised his head and said:
"Silly Zhu, give me another bowl too."
Sha Zhu turned his head to look at Liu Haizhong, "Second uncle, forget it, I promised Feng Ming before, I can't do it for him, as for you, just a bowl."
Liu Haizhong showed a hint of displeasure on his face, but he couldn't say much, so Xu Qing hurriedly smoothed things over and said:
"Second uncle, I also have a bowl, only my third brother, Sha Zhu is an exception."
Liu Haizhong laughed, so he no longer asked Sha Zhu.
After more than ten minutes, the third mother and Liu Haizhong left.
It's just that as soon as the three mothers left, Xu Damao came to Xu Qing's house on the back.
"Qingzi, your house is busy today."
Xu Damao put the tofu he brought on Xu Qing's table, put his arms around Xu Fengming who was still eating with gusto, and asked:
"You boy, I haven't seen you much, brother, these days when I came back, what did you do a few days ago?"
Xu Fengming shook his shoulders and said with a smile: "Brother Da Mao, I went to play with my classmates. I finally have time. How boring it is to stay in the courtyard every day!"
Xu Damao let out a cry, turned his head to look at Xu Qing and Sha Zhu, stretched out his hand to take out the peony cigarettes, threw one to Xu Qing and Sha Zhu respectively, and said:
"Today is the 27th of the twelfth lunar month, Qingzi, have you got all your New Year's goods?"
Xu Qing took the smoke and said: "It's all set, my wife, Xiaoya and Fengming have already started to make arrangements."
Xu Damao nodded, with a cigarette in his mouth, he turned sideways to chat with Patriotic and Xiaoya for a while, asked about his studies, and then got up to leave.
After Xu Qing sent him out of the house, Xu Damao stood in the backyard and whispered some things about the factory to Xu Qing.
"Qingzi, Director Li said during his vacation at the end of this year that after the new year, he will carry out drastic renovations in the factory. He didn't say exactly what he will do, but judging by his posture, it is estimated that the commotion will not be small. , the factory will start work next year, you should pay attention, not many people know about this matter, don't tell others, just know it yourself."
Xu Qing nodded upon hearing this.
Director Li has been in the factory all these years, almost monopolizing the power, and Xu Damao, the right-hand man, has to ask for instructions on everything. Anyone with a discerning eye can see at a glance that Director Li is paving the way for his own future.
Xu Qing understood what Xu Damao said just now.
This Director Li is going to make a good performance.
Since the change of weather in the factory, the production has been stagnant, and the efficiency has not increased but decreased. The number of days that the workers in the workshop work in a month is only a handful.
If a large factory with thousands of employees continues like this, it must close down.
If Director Li doesn't do anything else, if he wants to be promoted, he is afraid that there is no hope.
It's just that Xu Qing doesn't care about it. These days, even if the factory collapses, the state will divert everyone to other branch factories.
Work-wise, don't worry.
As for job changes, there may be some, but his status as a first-level clerk should not be lowered.
His promotion was notified by the factory every time after the factory reported to the higher organization.
Therefore, it is unlikely that it will go down, but it is not impossible.
After all, everything happens in case.
But for such a large factory, it doesn't mean that it will go bankrupt immediately.
Director Li didn't do anything, and no matter how much he took it for granted to turn the Red Star No. [-] Steel Rolling Plant into his family's yard, the higher ups wouldn't really just sit back and turn a blind eye.
The closure of a factory with thousands of people is not a trivial matter in these years.
Over at the main factory, people will be arranged to investigate no matter what.
It's just that he hasn't reached that point yet, so after Xu Qing thought briefly, he didn't think about it any more.
In the twinkling of an eye, it was New Year's Eve, and there was snow in the sky, which was very heavy and fell without warning.
In less than an hour, the entire compound was turned into a vast expanse of whiteness.
Today, every family in the courtyard is busy putting up Spring Festival couplets. Xu Qing was in the backyard early in the morning helping several families in his own courtyard to write Spring Festival couplets.
Xu Aiguo and the little girl were called to the middle court by Mr. Yi Zhonghai and asked them to help them write for the middle court.
Last year the middle court was written by Yushui, but after Yushui got married, there was no one in the middle court who could write. Xiao Dang proposed himself to take on this important task, but Yi Zhonghai was blocked by Jia Zhang before he declined .
Therefore, this matter fell on the heads of Aiguo and Xiaoya.
As for the front yard, the third master Yan Bugui has always done this with the attitude of a single man in charge of the patriarch.
Even if Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang wanted to write it, it was impossible.
The Spring Festival couplets were to be pasted on the main gate of the courtyard and in the courtyard, so that everyone in and out of the courtyard could see them, so Yan Pugui hoped that they were his calligraphy.
In the afternoon, I pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the silly pillars on the door of my house early, put on new clothes early, and ran to Xu Qing's house in the backyard to help cook.
He and the old lady are going to spend the New Year at Xu Qing's house this year, and Xu Qing's family has a lot of people, so Sha Zhu has the nerve to only have a mouth and stomach and do nothing.
Besides, he is still a cook.
There was a small mistake before, which has been corrected.
Xiaodang's name is Xu Fengming, which should be his uncle. He is of the same generation as Qin Huairu. Although Xiaodang is not much younger than Xu Fengming, he is a generation lower.

"You damn girl, you don't understand anything!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang stared at Xiaodang, and complained: "Your uncle Fengming's family bought more than 30 catties of soybeans, and they are short of a few pieces of tofu from our family. Aren't you making Fengming look bad, really!"

Jia Zhang was so annoyed that she sat on the edge of the kang, squinted at Xiao Dang, and couldn't help but opened her mouth to reprimand again.
"You have no conscience, you just learned to turn your elbows outward at a young age. When you get married, will you give away all the things at home? Do you still let me live with your mother?"
Xiao Dang looked aggrieved, lowered his head, did not dare to look at Jia Zhang who was scolding harshly, looked at his hands, and muttered in a low voice: "Then we used the roller from Uncle Fengming's house, shouldn't we give some tofu, let's talk about it." , Those few pieces of tofu are only two or three catties, and they are not expensive."

Today, every family in the courtyard is busy putting up Spring Festival couplets. Xu Qing was in the backyard early in the morning helping several families in his own courtyard to write Spring Festival couplets.
Xu Aiguo and the little girl were called to the middle court by Mr. Yi Zhonghai and asked them to help them write for the middle court.
Last year the middle court was written by Yushui, but after Yushui got married, there was no one in the middle court who could write. Xiao Dang proposed himself to take on this important task, but Yi Zhonghai was blocked by Jia Zhang before he declined .
Therefore, this matter fell on the heads of Aiguo and Xiaoya.
As for the front yard, the third master Yan Bugui has always done this with the attitude of a single man in charge of the patriarch.
Even if Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang wanted to write it, it was impossible.
The Spring Festival couplets were to be pasted on the main gate of the courtyard and in the courtyard, so that everyone in and out of the courtyard could see them, so Yan Pugui hoped that they were his calligraphy.
In the afternoon, I pasted the Spring Festival couplets on the silly pillars on the door of my house early, put on new clothes early, and ran to Xu Qing's house in the backyard to help cook.
He and the old lady are going to spend the New Year at Xu Qing's house this year, and Xu Qing's family has a lot of people, so Sha Zhu has the nerve to only have a mouth and stomach and do nothing.
Besides, he is still a cook.
There was a small mistake before, which has been corrected.
Xiaodang's name is Xu Fengming, which should be his uncle. He is of the same generation as Qin Huairu. Although Xiaodang is not much younger than Xu Fengming, he is a generation lower.
