Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 341
In the backyard, Xu Qing and Er Niu were pleasantly surprised when they saw Li Guohua coming.

The three of them haven't seen each other for a long time.

Especially Li Guohua, since the country assigned him to the county seat after graduating from university, he has been in the city for almost a few days a year, and Erniu is better, Xu Qing can meet him a few more times.

It's just that now they are married and have their own jobs and lives. Relatively speaking, although the two of them meet more often than Li Guohua, in fact they only meet once or twice a month.

There is no way, they have wives and children to support, Xu Qing works at the Red Star Rolling Mill, and Er Niu works at the Second Commercial Bureau on Caishikou Street.

But this weekend, not only Erniu came, but also Li Guohua, who had just been transferred back to the city. Xu Qing felt happy and was going to the kitchen to make some dishes to go with wine and have a good drink with two old classmates.

Jinghong and the little girl dragged Aiguo to the state-run store to pull cloth at around two o'clock in the afternoon, and they haven't come back yet.

Xu Qing had no choice but to do it himself.

But Xu Fengming rolled up his sleeves and said to his elder brother:

"Brother, Brother Erniu and Brother Guohua are here to see you. You can chat with them in the front room while I go to the kitchen to make food for you."

After Xu Fengming finished speaking, he turned around and washed his hands before entering the kitchen.

Xu Qing drank tea and chatted with Li Guohua and Er Niu in the front room.

After a while, Feng Ming brought three appetizers from the kitchen and put them on the table in the front room.

Cold cucumber, cold tomato, and cold radish strips.

When he went to the countryside before, he often cooked by himself, and his cooking skills improved a lot with Aunt Li in the commune.

Even though what I learned were the most common home-cooked dishes, they were incomparable to those made by Sha Zhu, and they were also incomparable to those in restaurants on the street.

But Xu Fengming is better because of his speed.

During the days when he was going to the countryside, it was difficult to have a full meal, so he could only come as fast as he could, filling his stomach counted.

However, the conditions in the city are better than those in the commune in the countryside. There are not many condiments in the kitchen at home, but compared with the commune, there are many more.

Xu Fengming put all kinds of condiments one by one, and the three dishes tasted quite good.

Xu Fengming went into the kitchen again and made peanuts.

First of all, this is a must-have delicacy when drinking.

Secondly, when he parked his bicycle earlier, he didn't pay attention to his little nephew, which caused his little head to hit the back seat of the bicycle and swelled up. As the third uncle, Xu Fengming wanted the little guy to eat too. point.

Xu Hongzhi lay next to Xu Qing, a little timid towards Li Guohua, whom he didn't know very well. He had fruit candies in his mouth, his small eyes secretly glanced at him from time to time, and then he carefully grabbed the peanuts in his hand and stuffed them into his mouth.

Li Guohua couldn't help being amused, looked down, grinned, and laughed.

Xu Qing was also dumbfounded by his son's behavior, but Li Guohua hadn't been home for a long time, and it was completely normal for his son to react like this.

After all, he is still a little kid, and when Li Guohua comes here often in the future, he will not be like this again.

Xu Qing picked up the wine cup, the third brother, Li Guohua and Er Niu, and the four of them left one by one. Then, while pouring wine for Li Guohua and Er Niu, he asked:
"Guohua, when you are transferred to the city this time, is it a temporary secondment or do you not need to go back again in the future?"

"There's no need to go back, I'll work in the city from now on."

"That's a promotion?" Er Niu looked surprised.

"Forget it."

Li Guohua chuckled and ate a piece of cucumber with his chopsticks.

Xu Qing thought it was good, and asked, "What level is it now?"

"The transfer to the city said it was to give me a sub-department."

Er Niu looked envious, "Guohua, you are so fast, you are the same as Brother Qingzi, both of you are sub-departments, and I am only a second-level clerk in the Second Commercial Bureau, and I don't know if I can be promoted in the second half of the year." level one."

"Er Niu, what did you do?" Li Guohua put down the chopsticks in his hand, and asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Didn't your father-in-law retire from your Second Commercial Bureau before, and he didn't help you with activities?"

Erniu had a sad look on his face and waved his hand: "Don't mention it. My father-in-law has helped me do a lot of private activities, but it's not easy to do it now."

"I was talking about this with brother Qing Zi just now." Er Niu said, smoking a cigarette.

Xu Qing nodded, "In this year and month, the situation has changed a lot. It's better to be on the safe side. In the future, the situation will be stable, and then take your time. Anyway, Er Niu is the youngest of the three of us, so don't worry."

Li Guohua hummed, feeling that Xu Qing was right.

After all, in these changing times, only by being careful can you sail for thousands of years.

Xu Qing raised a glass and took this opportunity to celebrate Li Guohua's promotion to associate degree.

Li Guohua was a little embarrassed for a while, and said with a blushing face, "Hey, my sub-subject is not worth mentioning. Qingzi is the one who rose fast, and I'm following your footsteps."

Everyone was chatting and laughing, drinking wine, and it was very lively.

Xu Fengming even took the initiative to toast Li Guohua with a few more glasses of wine. When he was still jumping in the queue at the rural commune, Li Guohua asked the commune secretary Wang Mingsheng to take good care of him.

Although in the final analysis, the elder brother Xu Qing asked Li Guohua to take care of him.

But on the bright side, it was Li Guohua.

Of course, Xu Fengming will never forget his elder brother's kindness to him, because if it weren't for his elder brother Xu Qing, he might not have been recommended by the commune to go to university in 70 years.

Xu Fengming kept these in mind. In the past few years, whenever there was anything at home, as long as he was around, he would rush to do it.

If anyone dares to make trouble with his eldest brother or sister-in-law, he must open the other's head.

But the problem was that no one took the initiative to find fault with Xu Qing, whether it was in the courtyard or the factory.

Xu Qing is a cadre, he has always treated people decently, and has always gotten along very well with his colleagues in the factory.

That is to say, Director Li wanted to make a stumbling block several years ago, but in the end he chose to compromise.

In the courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang complained occasionally, saying behind her back that Xu Qing, as a cadre, would not help her family, but when Xu Fengming, Aiguo and the little girl were in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang never said it.

As for the reason, naturally I don’t dare.

Xu Qing's younger brothers and sisters have grown up, they are not the kids from six years ago, and Jia Zhang is not a fool, knowing that Xu Qing is wrong, he must anger Feng Ming, Aiguo and the little girl.

After drinking for three rounds, Xu Qing talked about how he and Ma Jiefang would go to university for further study in a few months.

Li Guohua and Er Niu smoked, looked at each other, laughed loudly and said in unison:

"Qingzi, good news. If we are not busy then, we will send you and Jiefang to school."

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Jiefang and I are not children, so there is no need for you to send them."

Li Guohua grinned and said, "Qingzi, we are brothers, what's the matter with giving away? There's nothing we can't do."

Er Niu was a little drunk and said: "That's right, our relationship, who will give it to whom, my good buddies go to college, brothers, I will send you off, it is my duty!"

Xu Qing smiled, raised his glass to Li Guohua, Er Niu, and Third Brother, and clinked glasses again.

Afterwards, Xu Qing didn't let Er Niu drink any more, but asked him to drink some tea first, slowly.

Although the old classmates are here, it is rare to get together, it should be less than a thousand cups when you meet your bosom friend, and have a big drink, and you will not return until you are not drunk.

But Erniu has never been a big drinker. If he drinks hard and falls asleep when he is drunk, it will not be fun.

Drinking is to have fun, to have fun, not to get drunk.

Er Niu drank the black tea from the half-enamel teapot and paused for a while.

At this time, Ma Jiefang came to the compound on his bicycle with a cigarette in his mouth.
