Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 345 My eldest brother is definitely better than me
"Silly son, your dad is studying in college, not on the radio."

Ma Jinghong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, she put down the chopsticks in her hand, hugged her son by her side, while explaining, she felt secretly that the child must have not seen his father for more than a month, so she thought about it.

Xiao Hongzhi still pointed at the radio with his chopsticks and said seriously:

"But I heard someone calling daddy's name."

Ma Jinghong was slightly taken aback, looked sideways at the sister-in-law beside her, and asked:
"Xiaoya, were you paying attention to the radio just now?"

The little girl shook her head, "Sister-in-law, didn't we just talk about making clothes with my elder brother? I was only thinking about whether the trouser legs should be longer or shorter, and I didn't pay attention to the radio."

Xu Aiguo was eating and reading a book just now, when he heard his sister's words, he raised his head, looked at the radio, then looked at Ma Jinghong and said:
"Sister-in-law, I seemed to hear my brother's name being announced on the radio."

Xu Fengming, who was peeling garlic on the side, put the newly peeled garlic cloves into the noodle bowl, nodded and said:

"Sister-in-law, my second brother and Xiao Hongzhi heard it right. My eldest brother's name was mentioned on the radio just now. I wonder if he has the same name."

When Ma Jinghong heard this, she quickly grabbed the radio and wanted to listen carefully again.

But she, the little girl, Feng Ming, and Aiguo put down their bowls and chopsticks and listened for a while, but they didn't hear any news about Xu Qing in it. After a while, the broadcast ended.

The radio buzzed with no signal.

Ma Jinghong was a little disappointed immediately, it would be great if it was her own man.

But the problem was that she didn't hear him, and a trace of disappointment flashed across her face.

At this moment, Xu Damao ran in from outside the house happily with a cigarette in his mouth, and said to Ma Jinghong:
"Jinghong, did you listen to the radio just now? Qingzi came on the radio and said that he interviewed foreign guests from Canada today."

Xu Fengming turned around, reached out and took out a cigarette, threw it to Xu Damao and said:
"Brother Damao, how are you sure you are my eldest brother?"

Xu Damao pinched the cigarette on the clothes on his chest, put it in the corner of his mouth, took out the lighter and lit it, saying:

"Boy, your eldest brother went to college. The radio said he was Xu Qing, the representative of workers, peasants and soldiers. He also introduced that he once worked at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. That's not your eldest brother. Is there anyone else?"

In fact, Xu Fengming was also thinking about his elder brother at first, but he was afraid that if it was someone with the same name, he would be happy for nothing.

Hearing Xu Damao's words at this moment, my heart instantly felt at ease. It must be his eldest brother.

And Xu Aiguo, who works in the main factory, nodded directly to Ma Jinghong and said:

"Sister-in-law, that's right, it's my elder brother.

I have looked at all the lists of people recommended by our factory to go to college this year, and there is no one with the same name as my eldest brother. "

When Ma Jinghong heard what her brother-in-law said, she immediately smiled and said with joy in her heart:
"The man I chose is amazing!"

And at the same time.

Yan Bugui, the third uncle of the front yard, was standing in the middle yard with an excited face, talking to Yi Zhonghai about hearing Xu Qing on the radio.

Originally he wanted to go to the backyard, but he was spotted by Yi Zhonghai, who had had dinner early, and stood in the middle courtyard talking to Yi Zhonghai.

"Lao Yi, Xiao Qing has really made his mark today. Not only did he follow the big shots in our country and meet with foreign guests, but he also interviewed the Prime Minister of Canada named Trudeau. Do you think this is a disgrace to our president?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded, but was shocked in his heart.

Yi Zhonghai was the only one of the three stewards in the courtyard who didn't have a radio at home. It wasn't that he couldn't afford it, but he was reluctant to spend the money. Hearing Yan Bugui's words, he was really shocked.

He always thought that it was a fool's tactic for Xu Qing to leave the factory and go to university to give up his bright future as a section chief.

Unexpectedly, not long after Xu Qinggang entered the university, in just over a month, not even half a year, he actually made a name for himself and interviewed foreign guests.

This. Yi Zhonghai never expected.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was stunned, Yan Bugui stretched out his hand to support the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"Old Yi, I'm not wrong, in our courtyard, Xu Qing is the most capable. Didn't Sha Zhu go to college with him? What did I say? He's not that material, so he's good at cooking , compared with Xu Qing, it's still far behind."

Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, took two sharp sips of the smoke from the corner of his mouth, his heart was in a mess.

He is optimistic about Shazhu, after all, he is counting on Shazhu to provide him with retirement in the future.

Yan Bugui saw that Yi Zhonghai was speechless, so he stepped towards the backyard and continued past.

At this time, the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, who lived in the backyard, stood in the backyard and looked into Xu Qing's room with his head poked.

Xu Damao was at Xu Qing's house, so Liu Haizhong naturally didn't go in.

The second uncle has not forgiven Xu Damao from the bottom of his heart.

Even if he meets Xu Damao in person, he will respond casually because he is from a large courtyard.

But his official career in the factory was cut off by Xu Damao.

It can't be easily turned over.

Yan Bugui entered the backyard, saw Liu Haizhong, and immediately asked:

"Old Liu, have you listened to the radio?"

Liu Haizhong hummed, "Listen, Xu Qing interviewed foreign guests and also met important figures in our country. He is worthy of being Lao Xu's son. He is a golden nugget no matter where he is."

Yan Bugui said: "Isn't it? You said that when he was in your factory, he was promoted in less than a year, and he sat down to the position of section chief. We have seen a wide range of worlds.”

With his hands behind his back, Liu Haizhong agreed with Yan Bugui's words.

Both he and Yan Bugui have lived for most of their lives and have never met a foreign guest, let alone an interview.

"Let's go sit in Xu Qing's room for a while." Yan Bugui said.

Liu Haizhong nodded and followed behind.

However, before Yan Bugui stepped over the threshold of Xu Qing's house, he smiled and said:
"Jinghong, have you and Xiaoya listened to today's broadcast?"

Yan Bugui was talking, and out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Xu Damao, and immediately understood why Liu Haizhong behind him was standing in the courtyard just now.

But Yan Bugui was a smart man and didn't mention that.

When Ma Jinghong saw the third uncle and the second uncle coming, she smiled and said:
"Third Master, Xiaoya and I are talking to Brother Da Mao about this."

Xu Aiguo doesn't smoke, so it's up to Xu Fengming to smoke for the two uncles.

Xu Fengming handed Yan Bugui a cigarette and said, "Third uncle, isn't my eldest brother awesome?!"

Yan Bugui took the cigarette and said with a smile: "Awesome, how can it not be awesome? Your eldest brother is much better than your kid."

"That's right!" Xu Fengming gritted his teeth and said, "My eldest brother is definitely better than me. No one in our compound can compare with him."

Xu Fengming looked proud, proud of his eldest brother Xu Qing, and raised his hand to pass Liu Haizhong a cigarette.

Liu Haizhong stretched out his hand to catch the cigarette, but secretly sighed in his heart.

Xu Fengming's words were like a sharp needle piercing his heart.

Among the people of the same generation as Xu Qing in the courtyard, except for Xu Damao and Silly Zhu, the only ones left were his and Lao Yan's children.

Speaking of which, I really can't find anyone who can compare with Xu Qing.

Especially his three sons, the eldest has become a small cadre, but compared with Xu Qing, he can't even keep up with his heels.

What's more, the person is not in the courtyard yet, which makes him very sad.

But Yan Bugui was thinking all over the place, smoking a cigarette, and the loneliness on his face was deeper than in his bangs.

Liu Haizhong's eldest son is also a cadre anyway, although not as good as Xu Qing's status as section chief when he left the factory.

But stronger than his eldest son Yan Jiecheng.

Yan Bugui was a little puzzled, how could Lao Liu, who only knew stick education, be better at educating children than a teacher like him.

Just with a thought in his mind, Yan Bugui didn't want to think about it anymore. Anyway, none of his three sons were obedient and saw Tian'er and Di going against him.

None of them are obedient, worry-free, and get angry when they think about it. It's better to let them do what they like.

In the front yard, Yan Jiecheng was still eating at his parents' house. While urging his daughter not to play, Yu Li kept rolling her eyes at Yan Jiecheng.

Yu Li, the third aunt, Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang, and Yan Jiedi all listened to the previous broadcast.

Yu Li was very dissatisfied with her man's worthless appearance.

"Xie Cheng, besides eating, what else do you know? Didn't you hear on the radio that Xu Qingdu interviewed foreign guests?"

Yu Li was annoyed in front of the third mother, hurting Yan Xiecheng.

Yan Jiecheng stopped his chopsticks, raised his eyelids, looked at Yu Li, and hummed:

"What's the matter? You don't like me anymore? Are you able to leave?!"

Yan Jiecheng was furious, and Yu Li always talked to him about Xu Qing, her ears were almost callused.

It's not that he doesn't want to make progress or work hard, it's not because of this shitty change.

When he first entered the factory, he was unlucky because the factory no longer implemented the "work-for-work" policy, and all the high school students who entered the factory a year or two earlier than him were promoted to work.

It just so happened that the year he joined the factory, the factory no longer selected cadres from among the workers.

But now, Xu Qing is not in the factory, let alone in the courtyard, and Yu Li has to deal with him endlessly.

Yan Jiecheng is a big man. No matter how soft his ears are, he can't always let Yu Li ride on his head.

When Yu Li heard Yan Jiecheng's words, she immediately twisted her face, scowled, and said sternly:
"Yan Jiecheng, if you have the guts, can you say it again?"

Yan Jiecheng put down his chopsticks, leaned back on the chair, glared at Yu Li and said:
"If you don't want to live with me, let's leave, so you don't have to bother me every day."

"Yan Jiecheng, you bastard!"

Yu Li cursed angrily, picked up her daughter who was holding her rice bowl, left the dining table, and rushed out the door angrily.

Seeing that her daughter-in-law was angry, the third aunt pointed twice at Yan Jiecheng with her chopsticks, and said urgently:
"You kid wants to be a bachelor, why don't you hurry up and get your wife back."

"Mom, don't worry about our affairs!"

Yan Jiecheng curled his lips and sat on the chair, filled with resentment.

Ever since he married Yu Li, he had to listen to Yu Li's nagging almost every now and then.

"Look at Xu Qing, he has been promoted in the factory. And you, sitting in the workshop all day long, what use are you?"

Yan Jiecheng had endured it for several years, and finally broke out today.

Seeing that her son was unwilling to chase her, the third aunt had no choice but to stand up, lift the door curtain, and chase her daughter-in-law.

Yan Jiecheng was not in the mood to eat, so he grabbed the cigarette on the table, put it in the corner of his mouth, took out the lighter he just bought, and started smoking alone.

Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi looked at each other, lowered their heads, and laughed secretly.

Yan Jiecheng smoked a cigarette, glanced at it in disgust, and felt even more annoyed.

His younger brothers and sisters can't get along with him, his wife can't get along with him, and his parents don't want to see him either.

Yan Jiecheng was puzzled, he is also the eldest brother, and also has a daughter-in-law.

Why is he not as lucky as Xu Qing?

Ma Jinghong is so beautiful and virtuous.

Patriotic, Feng Ming, Xiao Ya, more sensible and more obedient.

No matter what happened to me, it was a mess.

He, Xu Qing, didn't finish high school and dropped out to work in a factory.

After all, I finished high school, so how could I be so unlucky when it was my turn.

The sky is already dark, and the autumn wind is bleak, carrying the autumn mood, blowing randomly in the front yard.

Yu Li packed up her things and was about to go back to her mother's house with her daughter.

San San secretly talked about it, but it was useless to be stupefied, seeing that he couldn't stop him, he had to run to the backyard to find the third master to go home.

Yan Bugui was still in Xu Qing's room at this time, discussing with Liu Haizhong. Xu Qing interviewed foreign guests and rushed to Peking University with Yi Zhonghai tomorrow to visit.

Although Xu Qing's interview with foreign guests has nothing to do with the courtyard, Xu Qing is still a member of the courtyard.

Xu Qing did the thing of showing up, and there was light in the yard too.

What's more, according to Xu Qing's performance, given time, after finishing his studies in university, the country might directly make him the director of a branch factory.

They took this opportunity to express that when Xu Qing came back three years later, if they asked Xu Qing for a favor to do something, wouldn't they be able to follow suit.

It's just that Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong haven't made a plan yet. When they arrive tomorrow, the third aunt hurried into the backyard and shouted:
"The head of the family, the daughter-in-law and the boss are quarreling again, so hurry back to the front yard and have a look."

Seeing that his old wife was in a hurry, Yan Bugui hurriedly walked out of Xu Qing's house and headed back to the front yard.

Nai He hurried, and as soon as the two returned to the front yard, they found that Yu Li and her granddaughter had disappeared.

Yu Li was determined to go back to her natal family this time. She did not enjoy any blessings when she married Yan Jiecheng, but only suffered.

Yan Jiecheng dared to brag and stare at her today, so he could just live on his own.

As soon as the third aunt ran to the backyard to call Yan Bugui, Yu Li took her daughter out of the compound, walked along the alley, turned onto the street, and headed back to her parents' house under the cover of night.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt searched all the houses in the front yard. When they saw that their daughter-in-law was not in the yard, they quickly got on their cars and went out of the yard to look for her on the street.

He is a man who wants face, and his daughter-in-law was angry and returned to her mother's house. It doesn't mean that he, the father-in-law, didn't give his daughter-in-law a good face and didn't educate his son well.

But now, at night, it was pitch black, and Yan Pugui was short-sighted and wearing glasses, so he couldn't find Yu Li at all.

I wandered around the streets for more than half an hour, but couldn't find it.

As soon as he returned to the courtyard angrily, he caught Yan Jie and scolded him.

"Boss, you are so brave. You made your wife run away so angry that your mother and I had to run out to find her!"

Yan Jiecheng squatted in the courtyard, looked up at Yan Bugui and said:

"Dad, no matter how capable I am, how can I be as capable as you? If you hadn't forced me to repeat a year of study, if I had entered the factory a year earlier, I might have quit!"

Yan Bu's noble face was livid. He didn't do it for his own good at the beginning, who knew it would change.

Liu Haizhong stood in the middle courtyard and discussed with Yi Zhonghai about going to Peking University to see Xu Qing tomorrow. When they heard the noise in the front yard, they both fell asleep. It seemed that Lao Yan would not be able to go tomorrow.

Only the two of them can go there.

It's just that in the early morning, when Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai just got up, Xu Damao rode a bicycle and went to Peking University in front of them.
