Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 332 It’s not necessary, right?

Yi Zhonghai, the first elder, and Yan Bugui, the third elder, saw the pennant, with indescribable smiles on their faces, you touched each other, and then handed it to the second elder, Liu Haizhong, to let him feel it too.

How can the three masters in charge not be excited or unhappy that the compound has won this honor.

This is the street office's affirmation and recognition of their compound, and the street office represents the country in their minds, this is the country's affirmation of the compound.

Yan Bugui was so excited that he stretched out his hand to adjust his glasses and thanked the director of the sub-district office.

"Director, in fact, this is all your credit. It is only under your wise leadership that our compound can produce so many cadres. We should send you a banner."

Yan Bugui flattered the director of the street office, but Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong didn't agree.

One is that he doesn't have the intention, and the other is that he doesn't have the eloquence of the third uncle and doesn't have much ink in his stomach.

Can you say that the street office has contributed?
That's still there.

These days, promotions have to go through layers of strict scrutiny, and going to college is the same.

Aiguo, Fengming, and the little girl, received recommendation letters from factories, communes, and work units, and then they had to ask the street office to write a letter of approval or a letter of introduction to prove it.

If the street office doesn't write it down, I'm sorry, but I still won't be able to enter the university smoothly.

And the street office does not have a card, which is considered a great help.

Yan Jiecheng stood in front of the door of Xu Qing's house, stretched his neck and glanced at the red banner with gold characters. He felt a little impatient and wanted to touch it, so he walked to the edge of the Kang and lay down next to the second uncle. , reached out with his right hand, and held the pennant firmly in his hand.

At the same time, Yan Jiecheng stared at the TV ticket that Xu Qing had just obtained with envy.

This is a TV ticket, such a rare thing, no one in the compound before.

The sub-district office gave an award to the Xu Qing family today. Not to mention Yan Jiecheng's eyes were envious, and his father, Yan Bugui, was so envious that he almost swallowed his saliva.

However, it's useless for Yan Bugui to be envious. None of his sons and daughters went to college to get promoted.

As long as there is one, Yan Bugui dares to ask the street office if he has to give his family a TV ticket.

It is a pity that none of the three brothers, Yan Jie, is willing to go to university for further studies.

Although they all know that going to college can improve their abilities, they just don’t want to go.

The reason is that, on the one hand, I have never been interested in reading, and when I mention it, I get a headache.

On the other hand, they are already working and earning money, so how can they still think about going to school?

Yan Jiedi did have an idea, but Yan Bugui did not support it.

As for the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt secretly asked at home.

Liu Guangtian just said, "Dad, you can let me go to college, but you can buy me a bicycle first, and we can chat later."

Liu Haizhongqi's nose is crooked. He has worked in the factory for so long and has not been allocated a bicycle ticket. Adding a bicycle will cost more than 100 yuan.

Isn't this a deliberate attempt to keep him from losing his job?
Liu Guangtian was a chicken thief. Seeing what his second brother said, he said, "Dad, I don't want a bicycle, but you and my mother have to give me my salary for the few years I can't work. I can't go to school. I don't have money to spend."

Liu Hai was so angry that he almost lost his temper. Each of his two sons was more aggressive than the other. He was so full that he had to worry about them.

At this moment, in the front yard, the two brothers Liu Guangtian were hiding in the third uncle's house, playing cards with Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi.

They neither helped Sha Zhu cook, nor did they go to Xu Qing's house in the backyard.

The courtyard celebrated Aiguo, Feng Ming and the little girl, and it had nothing to do with them. People from the street office came, but they didn't look at them, so why should they go there.

Yan Jiedi put down the two pairs in her hands, stood up and walked outside the house to take a look. She saw that Shazhu was still busy in the backyard and the banquet hadn't started yet, so she quickly ducked into the house, fearing that the sun would tan her.

They planned to go boating in Beihai Park in the afternoon after the banquet at noon.

But Liu Guangtian suggested: "Liberation, let's go swimming in the swimming pool. The weather is so hot today. There must be many girls in the swimming pool on this hot day."

Yan Jiedi looked at Liu Guangtian disdainfully, and spat, "Bah! Liu Guangtian, you're about to get married, and you still have hooligan thoughts in your head. Believe it or not, next time I see your partner, I'll tell her."

"Jie Di, brother, I'm going to treat you today, and I'll pay for the tickets. Do you want to go?"

"Then I'll go."

Yan Jiefang turned around and looked at Yan Jiekuang, feeling that Liu Guangtian's proposal was a good one.

"Well, let's go swimming in the afternoon!"

In the backyard, Shazhu led everyone to cook in full swing, and a pergola had been set up in the middle of the backyard to block the scorching sun, so that everyone would not be exposed to the sun.

Today, almost all the women in the courtyard were helping Shazhu, and Shazhu was very relaxed. He didn't need him to cut vegetables, let alone wash them.

At this moment, Silly Zhu was among the standing women, acting like a small leader, holding a tea mug, while drinking the brewed high-sui, looking left and right, inspecting the work.

"Sister Qin, your chopped chicken is too big, please make it smaller."

"Jinghong, after you've finished handling the fish, wash it and put it aside, then marinate it a little with salt."

"Third aunt, your lotus vegetables are so clean. I'm afraid I won't be able to bear to pour them into the pot and stir-fry later."

The third mother who was washing the vegetables raised her head and gave a silly look, "Don't be so talkative, kid. Didn't you see my granddaughter and Xiao Hongzhi playing around by the stove? Go over and help me guard against them."

"Damn."

Sha Zhu took the order, took Xiao Hongzhi and Yan Xiecheng's daughters to the old lady's room with a tea mug in hand.

The old lady couldn't get off the kang anymore. When she saw the two little guys being brought to her by Silly Zhu, she immediately reached out and took out two fruit candies and gave one to each of them.

The two little guys took the candy and said in unison: "Thank you, grandma."

At noon, as Sha Zhu cooked the food, the third aunt, Yu Li, Qin Huairu, Jing Hong, and the eldest aunt placed plates of dishes on the table in the courtyard.

Xu Qing and the three uncles invited everyone from the street to sit in the courtyard.

The five Yan Jiefang people in the front yard showed up one by one without being called, occupied a table, and were already seated, waiting to use their chopsticks to eat.

However, Yi Zhonghai just took out the banner that the street office had given to the compound and said in front of everyone in the compound:
"Look, guys, this is the subdistrict office's commendation for our compound. Next, let Director Wang give us a speech."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he took the lead in applauding with the third uncle, second uncle, Xu Qing and other people in the courtyard.

The director of the subdistrict office stood up, cleared his throat, beckoned Xu Aiguo, Xu Fengming and the little girl to come to him, and said to everyone:
"We are all neighbors, and the patriotic trio have brought honor to your compound and also to our street office. I hope we will continue to work hard in the future!

In the future, if someone else in your academy nominates a cadre, our sub-district office will return it and reward it specially! "

Director Wang made a brief passionate speech, picked up the wine cup, and clinked glasses with Aiguo, Feng Ming, and the little girl, and the banquet began.

Sitting at Liu Guangtian's table near the backyard and the crescent gate of the central courtyard, Yan Jiefang and the other five people immediately picked up their chopsticks and started eating.

As for Xu Qing and Xu Damao, because one was the section chief and the other was the deputy director, they did not sit with the three stewards in the courtyard. Instead, they sat with everyone from the subdistrict office, or sat with the director of the subdistrict office. Left and right.

After all, in the compound, Xu Qing and Xu Damao are the tallest in terms of status.

But in terms of seniority, it is Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui.

It's just that the director of the sub-district office brought people here today, so they can't sit according to seniority.

After more than an hour, everyone from the street office left first.

The sub-district office is under the jurisdiction of the entire area, not this compound or this alley, so how dare we wait too long.

The rest are the people in the compound.

The excitement continues, with people eating and drinking, laughter and laughter coming one after another.

Xu Qing took his younger brothers and sisters to toast the first, second and third uncles in the courtyard.

In any case, it was the three elders who suggested that everyone in the courtyard celebrate their younger brothers and sisters today.

Xu Qing thanked him proudly.

What's more, Xu Qing plans to go to university for further studies in a few months, and the family will have to rely on the three uncles to take care of them more or less.

After four o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet was over and the pergola was dismantled. After Xu Qing and Aiguo Fengming cleaned up the backyard, the three of them sat on the steps at the door of the house, watching the sunset, and sat quietly.

It had been a long time since Xu Qing sat down so relaxedly with his two younger brothers.

Xu Fengming held a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, put his hands behind his back, supported the ground, and looked at the brilliant sunset with a lazy look on his face.

Xu Aiguo doesn't smoke, and sits next to his elder brother, sitting upright.

The setting sun shone on the courtyard and on the bodies of the three of them, reflecting golden light.

Xu Damao came out of his own room and saw the three brothers Xu Qing sitting at the door, so he walked up to him and said:
"Qingzi, do you really plan to go to university for further study in a few months?"

Seeing Xu Damao coming, Xu Qing smiled and nodded.

Xu Damao didn't speak any more, bent over and sat beside Xu Fengming, took a sharp puff of the smoke and said:
"How about I go to university and study for a few years?"

Xu Fengming tilted his head, looked at Xu Damao with a smile and bared his teeth and said:

"Brother Da Mao, yes, you and my eldest brother will still be friends at school when the time comes."

Xu Qing looked at Xu Damao with his head and smiled.

He knew that Xu Damao would never give up his position as deputy director in the factory.

He finally became an official as he wished, and his position is not low. According to his heart, how could he let go so easily.

Shazhu was able to go to university for further studies, but his education was low, Xu Qing was very worried that he would not be able to keep up.

But it doesn’t matter. Anyway, these days, as long as workers, peasants and soldiers college students can get recommended opportunities to study in universities, if they can’t keep up, they should study harder in school and make up for it slowly.

Thinking about it this way, Xu Qing decided to discuss it with Shazhu at night. As long as he is willing, as for the recommendation quota in the factory, he will help to settle it.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing took his son, daughter-in-law, little girl and Feng Ming, patriotic, sitting in the backyard to enjoy the cool air.

The second uncle and the second aunt were shaking cattail fans, and together with Xu Damao, Qin Jingru and the old lady, they were blowing the evening breeze in the courtyard.

Not long after, Xu Qing got up and went to the middle courtyard.

In the middle courtyard, Eldest Master Yi Zhonghai and Eldest Mother were sitting with Qin Huairu and Silly Zhu on the mats spread on the courtyard floor, chatting with each other.

Mats are not bamboo mats in the south, but made of wheat straw. Naturally, local materials are used to grow wheat in the north.

Seeing Xu Qing coming, Shazhu laughed and threw an economical cigarette to Xu Qing.

"Qingzi, what's the matter?"

"A little bit, let's go to your room and say it."

Hearing this, Silly Zhu got up from the mat, walked barefoot to the side of the mat, found a pair of shoes at random, put them on and led Xu Qing to his room.

When I was enjoying the cool air in the courtyard at night, I didn't turn on the lights in Silhu's house. I turned on the lights only after entering the house in the dark.

Silly Zhu sat in front of the table, motioned Xu Qing to sit down too, and looked down at the shoes on his feet.

"Hey, let me just say, I've been pinching my feet just now, I dare say I'm wearing a big mom's shoes."

Silly Zhu complained, raised his head and shouted into the courtyard outside:
"Auntie, I'm wearing your shoes. I'll return them to you later when I go out."

Silly Zhu said, regardless of whether the aunt was angry or not, he turned to look at Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, what's the matter, tell me."

Xu Qing took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, took a puff and said:

"Brother Silly Zhu, do you want to go to university to study?"

"Me?" Silly Zhu was stunned. Seeing Xu Qing's serious face, he shook his head and smiled, "Forget it, I haven't graduated from junior high school yet, so why should I join in the fun?"

"Study, by the way, you might find someone in school."

Silly Zhu raised Erlang's legs, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair and said, "Qingzi, it's a good idea for you to say so, but the number of recommended places in the factory is only a dozen a year, how can you give it to me."

"Brother Silly Zhu, you don't have to worry about this, you just need to tell me whether you want to go, if you want to go, and about the quota, I'll figure out a way."

Silly Zhu became more hesitant as he smoked a cigarette, and did not say anything after finishing a cigarette.

Seeing this, Xu Qing said: "Brother Silly Zhu, there is no rush in this matter. It is only July and the university will not start until September. You should think about it carefully during this period."

Silly Zhu groaned, looked up at Xu Qing and asked curiously:

"Qingzi, why are you asking me this today? Is it possible that you also want to go to university for further study?"

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Yes, I don't want to be your companion."

Silly Zhu immediately grinned and said: "Qingzi, you are now a section chief in our factory, and you have a wife and children. There is no need to go to university for further studies."

Xu Qing smiled without saying a word.

Xu Qing thought clearly about whether it was necessary.

In fact, it is still necessary. When the country starts to open up in the future, if you want to make money, it will only be more beneficial for you to go to university to study.

You can not only meet friends from all over the world, but also learn the language of other places.

In particular, the first step of reforming is the coastal areas.

If you want to go to sea to do business, you can only go south.

Of course, after the re-opening, he didn't want to go south, so he stayed in Sijiu City to search for some antiques, pick up the missing ones, and wait for the Wenwan market to heat up in the future, which is also a fortune.

But the problem is that Xu Qing's current eyesight is not that bad, and he doesn't know much about identifying antiques.

And right now, even if Xu Qing wanted to find an expert among the people to study with him, he couldn't find one.

There are just some old gentlemen in the university who have experienced the Republic of China and are knowledgeable. If you follow them and learn from them, no matter what you learn, there is no harm.

Furthermore, Xu Qing never thought of going all the way in his official career.

Xu Aiguo graduated from University and was promoted to a senior official. Xu Qing felt that his second brother was more suitable than him.

So in this regard, he, the big brother, doesn't need to go on.

And now, the situation at home is not as difficult as before, so he has time to make a long-term plan for the future.

Going to university for further study is the first step.
