Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 331
As soon as the spring of 71 passed, summer, autumn and winter followed.

Then came 72 and 73.

The torrent of time cannot be stopped.

Just like there are four seasons in a year, spring always goes to summer, and then autumn goes to winter solstice.

Ai Guo, Feng Ming and Xiao Ya Tou, who were in college, graduated successfully in July.

The state has arranged new jobs for them——

Because the little girl studied accounting, she was assigned to work as an accountant in a musical instrument factory in Sijiu City.

Aiguo entered the general factory of Hongxing Steel Rolling Works as an officer.

As for Feng Ming, he was assigned to a hardware factory, not as a worker of course.

They have all graduated from university. Even if Feng Ming wanted to be an ordinary worker, the country would not allow him.

Lifting the stem is naturally the most basic.

Xu Qing's younger siblings have all turned into cadres, causing everyone in the compound to talk a lot.

After all, in the compound, except for the rain from getting married, only Xu Qing's younger brother and sister in the backyard have been college students over the years.

Now that they have graduated and are back, everyone in the courtyard ran to Xu Qing's house to offer their congratulations!
The first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle decided to set up a banquet in the courtyard for Aiguo, Fengming, and the little girl.

Celebrate and be lively.

As for the money for the banquet, everyone in the compound naturally chipped in together.

The three stewards took the lead and paid two yuan each.

Xu Qing and Xu Damao, both cadres in the factory, followed closely behind.

Xu Damao five yuan.

Xu Qing, as the eldest brother of Patriot, Fengming and the little girl, naturally paid the most, ten yuan.

Yan Jiecheng and his own father, Yan Bugui, had separated long ago, and he actively participated in all affairs in the courtyard, as long as money was not mentioned.

But when it comes to money, I am not very interested. I don't want to pay a penny at this time. I am holding a cigarette and hahaha, saying that I have something to do at home, and I want to run away.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haili immediately said:

"Xie Cheng, you are a member of our compound. The Patriots have brought glory to our compound and exposed their faces. Don't you express your gratitude?"

"First uncle, second uncle, didn't my dad give it to me? My dad represents our whole family, so I forget it."

Yan Bugui was smoking a cigarette, his eyes behind his glasses cast a glance at his eldest son, and he didn't want to say a word.

Silly Zhu crossed Erlang's legs, glanced blankly at Yan Jiecheng, stretched out his hand and took out [-] yuan, slapped it on the table in the backyard in front of Yan Jiecheng, and said:

"I'll pay four yuan and five, and I'll be in charge of the banquet."

Silly Zhu likes excitement and prosperity, and is very concerned about Patriot, Feng Ming and the little girl.

He has a close relationship with Xu Qing's family, and when Feng Ming was young, he often played around with him.

There was going to be a banquet in the courtyard, and Sha Zhu was very happy in his heart.

Xu Qing ignored Yan Jiecheng, pushed the money that Sha Zhu took out to Sha Zhu's side and said:
"Silly brother, since you want to be in charge, you don't need to pay for it."

"Master, do you think so?"

Xu Qing looked at Yi Zhonghai, and Yi Zhonghai immediately said: "Qingzi is right, if Zhuziqian pays, let someone else take charge of the job, or he can just take charge of the job."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui did not express their opinions. They hoped that Shazhu would contribute both money and effort.

Anyway, there is a banquet in the courtyard, and everyone can eat it at that time. The more money you collect, the richer the banquet will be.

Brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, you look at me, I look at you, and finally look at Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong didn't want to pay attention to his two useless sons. He glared coldly, turned his head, and turned around to tease Xu Qing's son.

Xiao Hongzhi is now four and a half years old, he can run and dance in the courtyard, and he takes Yan Jiecheng's daughter to play happily.

Seeing that his father did not speak for him, Liu Guangtian reached out and touched his head, tilted his head, glanced sideways at Yan Jiecheng, curled his lips and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"First Master, Yan Jiecheng and I are different. He and Third Master separated, but I did not separate from my parents. I got married the year before last, but we still share the same money with my parents. I Don’t pay.”

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Guangtian, and hummed, which was his consent.

There was no separation, they were still one family. It was hard for Yi Zhonghai to say anything.

But Yan Jiecheng was different, if he didn't pay for it today, his family of three wouldn't be able to eat tomorrow's banquet.

Liu Guangfu took the opportunity to say: "Grandpa, my second brother doesn't need to pay, so I don't need to. I just got engaged, I haven't married yet, and I haven't separated from my parents."

Originally, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to ask Liu Guangfu.

What Liu Guanggu said made Yi Zhonghai a little unhappy.

Qin Huairu sat aside and said nothing. It was not until she glanced at Xu Qing's son that she reached out and dug around for a long time and took out a dollar and a half.

"First uncle, second uncle, third uncle, my family's situation is not good, so I can only pay so much."

Seeing it, Jia Zhang saw that it was one yuan and five, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to grab Qin Huairu's hand holding the money, and refused to let him put it on the table.

If you put it down, you can't take it back.

Gritting her teeth, Jia Zhang scolded Qin Huairu in a low voice: "You're crazy, can't life be over at home?"

Qin Huairu suddenly hesitated, and Jia Zhang hurriedly said to the crowd:

"It's not casual. My family pays fifty cents."

When Yan Jiecheng saw that the Jia family only had fifty cents, he immediately snorted with a look of disdain.

Seeing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately sneered and said: "No matter how little my family pays, some people don't want to pay a cent."

"Ms. Zhang, who are you talking about?" Yan Jiecheng's face was cold, and he glared at Jia Zhang angrily, took a sip of his cigarette and said:

"First Master, Second Master, it's not that I don't want to come out, I just want to discuss it with my wife."

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he threw the cigarette butt from the corner of his mouth on the ground, "Master, I'll go home first and come over later."

Yan Jiecheng left, and the money he had collected was about the same. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui, the three uncles, decided to buy something for tomorrow and let Shazhu do it.

It’s just that if you have money, you still can’t do it without votes.

Everyone gathered together again, one by one.

Xu Qing originally planned to say that he would pay for the tickets. Anyway, he has a lot of tickets of all kinds, and he can't use up all the tickets.

Moreover, he was throwing a banquet for his younger siblings to celebrate. As the eldest brother, he should do more.

But seeing that everyone was digging at their bodies, they were speechless.

He would wait a while to see how much was missing, and if it was not enough, he would make up for it.

In the backyard, everyone was collecting tickets, and Yan Jiecheng, who returned to the front yard, told Yu Li about the backyard.

Yu Li stood in the room, looked at Yan Jiecheng, rolled her eyes twice, reached out to poke Yan Jiecheng's forehead and cursed:

"You are useless! Why are you so stupid that you are not as good as Shazhu, who knows how to pay, so why do you need to come back and ask me about this?"

Yu Li was furious and looked at Yan Jiecheng with eyes full of disgust.

“I was really blind when I married you!

Don't even think about it, Xu Qing has been promoted to section chief in our factory, how about you?How many years have I stayed in that crappy workshop, and I haven't even been able to get along with a workshop director.

Xu Qing's second brother graduated from university and joined our main factory. Think about it, if we have something to do in the factory in the future, do we have to ask Xu Qing and Aiguo. "

Yan Jiecheng looked at Yu Li with a sullen face, and said angrily: "Who is a wimp, I don't want to save some money for the family!"

"Is this the time to save money?" Yu Li gave Yan Jiecheng a hard look, "I see it through. In your heart, besides following your father to figure out how to save money, what else can you do?"

After Yu Li said angrily, she sat on the edge of the kang and snorted with a dark face.

"Yan Jiecheng, let me tell you, don't think that you secretly took the family's money behind my back, and drank with the group of friends in your workshop outside. I don't know. My cousin Yu Haitang has seen it several times. You should be prodigal, the family." If money ruins you, I will divorce you!"

Yan Jiecheng thumped in his heart, his head was breaking out in cold sweat, and he quickly subdued with a playful smile:
"Daughter-in-law, I was wrong. I will definitely not drink with them again in the future. I will listen to you in everything from now on!"

"Get up and leave me alone!"

Yu Li coldly rolled her eyes at Yan Jiecheng, and shook off Yan Jiecheng's arm in disgust.

"I'm going to the backyard. I can't blame you for such a trivial matter. I've been unlucky for eight lifetimes. You're useless!"

Yu Li opened the door curtain with a livid face, and walked towards the backyard, Yan Xiecheng followed behind.

At this time, everyone in the backyard was still collecting tickets. Shazhu saw Yu Li coming with Yan Jiecheng, poked Xu Qing with his elbow, and said with a grin:
"Qingzi, do you see that Yan Jiecheng has soft ears since he was a child, and he is naturally afraid of his wife's life."

Although Sha Zhu was speaking to Xu Qing, his voice was not low, and almost everyone in the backyard heard it.

Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu, Second Aunt, First Aunt, Jia Zhangshi, and Qin Huairu couldn't stop laughing.

Yan Bugui pretended not to hear, turned his back and looked at Xiao Hongzhi playing with his granddaughter.

When Yu Li was in the front yard, she still had an angry expression on her face, but when she entered the backyard, she immediately showed a smile on her face, walked quickly to the crowd, took out two yuan, put it on the table and said:

"First Master, Second Master, our family just didn't have any money. We are going to hold a banquet for the patriots in our courtyard, and our family can't be left out."

Yu Li was speaking to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, but her eyes were on Xu Qing.

After all, it was Xu Qing's younger brother and sister's business, so she had to let Xu Qing remember the money.

Yan Jiecheng, who was following Yu Li, looked at Jia Zhang and said:

"Aunt Zhang, did you see that my family offered two yuan, and anyone like yours would be ashamed to take out fifty cents."

Jia Zhang gave Yan Jiecheng a stern look, twitched the corner of her mouth, and said coldly:
"It's not about the money, it's about the heart. If it wasn't for what my aunt told you, you would have married a great wife. Otherwise, you wouldn't even be half as good as my grandson."

Who is Jia Zhang?

Lord who never suffers.

Yan Jiecheng dared to keep her from stepping down, how could he spare him lightly.

Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he opened his mouth to break up with Jia Zhangshi.

But Yu Li said first: "Aunt Zhang, you are right. My family's solution is really not as good as your grandson Bangge. Your grandson is so noble. He went to the countryside to support national construction and has not come back much in the past few years. If my family's solution is not good enough, he will only be filial to his parents."

Jia Zhangshi was trembling with anger, opening his mouth to fight with Yu Li, Yi Zhonghai patted the table hard and said:
"Sister-in-law, what are you arguing with the two juniors? We are now discussing how to celebrate the patriots tomorrow. This is such a good thing, do you want to make everyone unhappy?!"

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai's face was livid, Jia Zhang glanced at Yan Xiecheng and his wife coldly, and said nothing.

Yu Li was triumphant, she got a bargain and acted like a good boy, and said to Yi Zhonghai:
"Grandpa, you are indeed the master in charge of the middle court. Unlike some people, you know how to quarrel regardless of the occasion."

Yi Zhonghai ignored Yu Li. Yan Bugui coughed, looked at his eldest daughter-in-law, raised his foot and kicked Yan Jiecheng's calf and said:

"Take your wife back to the front yard to help your mother cook."

Yan Jiecheng took Yu Ligang and turned around to go back to the front yard. Yan Bugui said again:

"Xie Cheng, if you have extra food tickets in your room, you will send two of them later, and the tickets are not enough yet."

In less than 5 minutes, under Yu Li's instructions, Yan Jiecheng brought three food tickets to the backyard.

However, there are still not many votes.

Xu Qing then said: "First uncle, second uncle, third uncle, I will figure out a solution for the remaining tickets."

Next day, around eight o'clock in the morning, Xu Qing was riding his bicycle, taking Sha Zhu with him, and went shopping for groceries with the third uncle Yan Bugui.

The third uncle took the money that everyone in the courtyard collected yesterday.

There were many people in the courtyard and they were confused. After discussion, the three stewards in the courtyard announced the amount of money and votes and handed them all over to Yan Bugui for safekeeping.

Yan Bugui was responsible for paying for whatever Shazhu wanted to buy.

who made him good at it.

When the tickets were not enough, Xu Qing took them out of himself.

Eggplant, cucumber, tomato, lotus white, chicken, duck, fish, pork, mutton, I bought a lot.

Naturally, tobacco and alcohol cannot be left behind.

In less than two hours, the bicycles of Xu Qing and the third uncle were covered with things.

That's not what Shazhu carried in his hand.

There are a lot of people in the compound, twenty or thirty people, these things, Sha Zhu thinks it may not be enough.

But after all the money was spent, this was all that could be done. Silly Zhu thought to himself, at worst, when cooking, just sprinkle more salt on the dishes and everyone would drink more.

The three of Xu Qing returned to the compound. The first aunt, the second aunt, and the third aunt, together with Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, Jinghong, and Yu Li, helped Shazhu.

Washing vegetables, chopping vegetables, lighting fires, the courtyard is full of excitement.

The little girl rolled up her sleeves and wanted to help cook together, Sha Zhu waved her hands directly and said:
"You can't make it today, just sit and wait to eat with Aiguo and Feng Ming."

Xu Qing, his three stewards and his two younger brothers were sitting in their house accompanying everyone who came from the street office.

The director of the sub-district office learned that a banquet would be held in the compound today for the patriots to celebrate, so he came with his people to congratulate them.

Aiguo, Fengming, Xiaoya, the three cadres all graduated from college. This is not only a happy event for the compound, but also a happy event for their street.

In other courtyards in alleys, there have never been so many cadres at once.

In addition to Xu Qing and Xu Damao, plus Ma Jinghong, the three of them are also cadres.

The director of the street office not only brought some things to congratulate today, but also sent a TV ticket to Xu Qing's family.

Xu Qing and Jing Hong are cadres, and Aiguo, Feng Ming and Xiao Yatou are also cadres now.

How can the street office not pay attention to a family of cadres?

In addition, the director of the street office also specially brought a pennant to the compound.

In recognition of the talents in the compound.
