Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 355 The thoughts of people in the courtyard

As soon as Jia Zhang said this.

Xu Qing frowned slightly, is this asking for money?

Qin Huairu, who was standing beside Ma Jinghong, immediately said:
"Xu Qing, the third master brought some millet for your house. I really don't have anything at home. When I saw Feng Ming bought coal ash back today, my mother thought about shaking some coal balls."

As soon as Qin Huairu explained, Xu Qing understood. It turned out that Jia Zhang did not want to make money from briquettes.

It's just that with her demeanor just now, it seemed that she was really asking for money.

But since it was a misunderstanding, Xu Qing didn't take it seriously. He smiled and thanked Jia Zhang.

As for the situation of Jia's family, Xu Qing was naturally aware of it. They lived in a large courtyard, and it was difficult to see them without looking up.

There is no man in the Jia family, the only male, stick stem, has not come back after going to the countryside all these years.

It stands to reason that if the country did not have the call to go to the mountains and go to the countryside, the current Jia family should be supported by sticks.

However, people's calculations are not as good as the sky's calculations, and the sticks will never return after going to the countryside, so Qin Huai has to support them hard.

Fortunately, Xiaodang and Huaihua have grown up one after another, and the Jia family has survived the most difficult times in the past few years with the help and relief of Shazhu.

Xiaodang and Huaihua, the two sisters can help the family with some things on weekdays, such as washing and cooking, so Qin Huairu doesn't need to do it.

As for the Jia Zhang family, although they didn't get along well with anyone in the courtyard, they could still do some needlework to supplement the family income, and then help Qin Huairu with the chores at home.

The situation of the Jia family is barely passable now.

However, these days, living in the city requires money for all expenses.

Speaking of which, life in the Jia family was pretty tight.

But compared to more than ten years ago, it is much stronger.

It's just that compared with other homes in the courtyard, it seems a little unsatisfactory.

Jia Zhang took the initiative to show her courtesy today, Xu Qing certainly knew what she meant.

There is not enough food in the house to eat. According to her temperament, even if her family is doing well without asking for help from others, she is not willing to give it away.

Even if you send it, you have to have it.

What Xu Qing didn't know was that Qin Huairu actually planned to spend money on the streets to buy a bottle of wine and a cigarette as gifts for him.

But he was stopped by Jia Zhang.

Jia Zhang's idea is very simple, it is impossible to send things, but she also knows that Xu Qing has become the director of the factory. If she doesn't say anything, she wants Xu Qing to help in the future, and the big one who is still going to the countryside to jump in the queue will be killed. I'm afraid it will be very dangerous for Sun Tzu to return to the city.

Therefore, when Jia Zhang saw Feng Ming calling a car of soot back today, his eyes rolled, he ran to the backyard, sat at the door of Xu Qing's house, and shook the briquettes with his hands.

I want to use this to show my favor to Xu Qing's family.

But in fact, no matter it was the third master or the Jia Zhang family, everyone in the compound came to Xu Qing's house at night, and they all wanted to express their hearts.

Xu Qing became the director of the factory in one fell swoop.

Who is not happy?

While I was happy, I was all thinking about how I could follow Xu Qing in the future.

Even if it doesn't involve anything, but I mentioned to others that there is a factory director in my yard who manages thousands of people and is still the factory director.

If you say this, you will be able to straighten your waist even if you don't say it.

What's more, Xu Qing's character is not mentioned in the courtyard. Everyone knows that Xu Qing will help with general matters as long as you ask Xu Qing.

In fact, their request did not touch Xu Qing's bottom line.

There are some things that Xu Qing will help with, and some things that Xu Qing won't.

However, most of the people in the courtyard looking for him are trivial matters.

For Xu Qing, it was just a matter of effort.

So, by the way, help out.

When the second aunt saw that Mrs. Jia Zhang and the third uncle had said what they had brought, she quickly got ahead of the first aunt and said to Xu Qing with a smile:
"Xiao Qing, the second aunt's family doesn't have much to offer, so I just bought a few watermelons today. Don't be dissatisfied."

The aunt took a look, and all the houses in the yard had already mentioned it, and hurriedly followed suit:
"Xiaoqing, your uncle had some time ago to weave a few brooms and stick a few feather dusters. I brought two for each of your family."

Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian, who had separated, didn't say anything because neither of them took anything to Xu Qing's house.

Anyway, their parents took it, so they felt that they didn’t need to take it.

Xu Qing didn't care about this.

It's friendship to bring things, he remembered.

It doesn't matter if you don't take it, and there is no shortage at home.

Now Aiguo, Feng Ming and his younger sister have stable jobs, and he and Jing Hong are both at work.

Everyone in the family can make money.

As far as the whole compound is concerned, the lives of the three uncles in the past are the best.

But now, it's turned around, and the Xu Qing family has the best situation in the courtyard.

Next is Xu Damao.

Anyway, Xu Damao got a deputy director in the factory.

In addition, he found a job for Qin Jingru.

The salaries of the two of them directly surpassed the three uncles in the courtyard.

But compared with Xu Qing's family, it is still far behind.

Today Xu Qing became the director of the fifth branch factory.

The position can be higher than that of Xu Damao's deputy director.

In terms of remuneration, naturally it is also high.

If Xu Damao wants to catch up, he can't just give Director Li a small yellow croaker.

As for the three elders in the courtyard, except for the childless elder Yi Zhonghai, the second and third elders, their savings were almost wiped out by their respective sons!

In the most difficult period of 1960, they spent a lot of their savings in order to keep their family fed and not go hungry.

After more than ten years of saving, I have saved a lot, but the money I saved for my sons to marry and start a family has disappeared bit by bit.

At present, the third uncle is considered to be very poor. If his three sons have become successful, who can not ask him for money?

Whether it was Yan Jiecheng or Yan Jiefang, Yan Jiekuang reached out to him all day long.

That is to say, after Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang got married, they did not live in the courtyard, which allowed Yan Portui to save some face.

However, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li took their daughter and the family of three to eat with him and the third aunt.

Yan Bugui was reluctant, but he couldn't say that the door was closed and he was not allowed to enter the house.

Liu Haizhong is relatively better. This second uncle has believed in "stick education" from the very beginning. He has three sons, and the married eldest has never lived with him. After paying the money, he almost never asked him for it again.

Of course, people have not been in the courtyard these years.

The third child, Liu Guangfu, is still with the second child's family.

But Liu Guangfu is not married yet, so Liu Haizhong is relatively better than Yan Bugui.

But this is only temporary, when Liu Guangdu clamors to get married, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt will still have to spend money to make things happen.

Yi Zhonghai didn't need to worry about these things, but the pain of having no children made him and the first mother live their lives tied up all the time.

Even if I have money, I don’t dare to spend it frivolously. Apart from a flashlight, I haven’t even bought a single decent household appliance at home.

It is a lie to say that there is no money, and no one in the courtyard will believe it.

But money is not spent, for what?
Everyone in the courtyard also knew it.

They don't have children to take care of in the future, not to mention Yi Zhonghai's old couple, whoever lives in the yard will live economically just like the old man and the big mother.

In this way, the only one who can talk about the better life in the courtyard is Xu Qing's family who lives in the backyard.

Xu Qing pulled his younger brothers and sisters through the most difficult years and survived the most painful days.

Now the situation is good, life is good, after all, all hardships are rewarding.

Even Yan Bugui, who was good at calculating, had to say, "If Xu Qing hadn't been promoted early in the factory.

I have been working hard to support my younger siblings to study.

The current life of Xu Qing's family will not be as easy as it is now. "

And this, everyone in the compound is well aware of it.

They watched Xu Qing's family's life gradually get better year by year.

Although I was jealous, envious and jealous of the good situation of Xu Qing's family.

But no one could help but admit that Xu Qing's vision, vision, and resilience were beyond their comparison.

If Xu Qing hadn't dropped out of school, hadn't thought about dragging down his younger siblings, and hadn't been the leader of the family on his own.

Instead, choose to break the jar and smash it.

Now, the life of Xu Qing's family is different.

And they would never all come here today and sit at Xu Qing's house.

It's just that Xu Qing did something that they couldn't think of at all.

Faced with this iron-clad fact, they had no choice but to come.

Yi Zhonghai turned around and looked around Xu Qing's house, looking at the electric fan on the cabinet, the sewing machine next to it, the radio on the bed, and the bicycle parked at the door of the house.

I couldn't help feeling in my heart: "It's still Xu Qing's ability and ability. It doesn't matter if he lives a good life. He brought up Aiguo, Feng Ming and Xiaoya. He didn't let him suffer too much, let them suffer too much. After finishing college, under the arrangement of the state, they were all promoted and had a decent job."

A tinge of regret suddenly appeared in Yi Zhonghai's heart, hating himself for not reaching out to help Xu Qing's family earlier.

Even if he lent Xu Qing a few food coupons and a few corn buns back then, why would he worry about his retirement in the future?

Why can we only rely on pillars?

With the achievements of the four Xu Qing brothers and sisters, it would not be easy for any one of them to support him.

However, there is no regret medicine in the world.

Even if Yi Zhonghai regretted it, it would not help.

All we can do is slowly make up for it and gradually improve the relationship with Xu Qing's family.

But today, everyone in the courtyard is here, and Yi Zhonghai knows that the rest of the people have the same thoughts as him.

The only difference is that he and the first mother want to see if Xu Qing and his sister can help them take care of them in the future.

The others, on the other hand, wanted to curry favor with Xu Qing.

But after all, don't they all want to be in Xu Qing's favor?
Yi Zhonghai's theory is as shrewd as Yan Bugui's. His perspective on problems and things is deeper and further than Yan Bugui's.

But he was as timid as Liu Haizhong, and didn't want to cause trouble.

Therefore, having been in the factory for decades is not even as good as Liu Haizhong.

Although Liu Haizhong is sometimes timid and hesitant in doing things, he is very concerned about his official career.

And he followed Director Li and worked as an official in the factory for a period of time, and he had a good reputation for a while.

But Yi Zhonghai could see the problem clearly and think about things clearly, but in the end, he didn't get anything.

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai looked at Xu Qingzheng chatting and laughing with everyone, and thought to himself:

"If I had Xu Qing like this when I was young, how could I have reached this stage?"

Unfortunately, it's all too late.

Yi Zhonghai and Da Ma sat at Xu Qing's house until almost eleven o'clock before leaving with everyone in the courtyard.

Xu Qing brought his daughter-in-law Jing Hong and his younger siblings to see them out of the house. Outside the house, the moon and stars were sparse, and the evening breeze was blowing, the heat dissipated, leaving only the coolness.

After seeing everyone off, Xu Qing didn't rush back to the house. He sat on the steps at the door of the house, blew in the cool breeze in the yard, and smoked a cigarette.

Xu Fengming and Aiguo sat beside their eldest brother, both of whom were happy for his eldest brother to be the factory director.

Of course, last night, they knew that the eldest brother was going to be the factory manager of the fifth branch today.

Aiguo is in the main factory, and has worked for three years, and the position is not low, and the news is well-informed.

That is to say, it was not disclosed to the people in the compound in advance.

When patriotic speaking and doing things, all aspects will be considered.

In Xu Qing's opinion, almost no one in the courtyard can match his second brother's thoughtfulness.

Although Feng Ming is not in the main factory of Hongxing Steel Rolling Factory, in three years, he not only learned to drive in the hardware factory, but also single-handedly turned the hardware factory, which had been losing money year after year due to poor management.

Make the benefit of the hardware factory advance by leaps and bounds.

Now Feng Ming is in the factory where he works, and everything is going well.

Regardless of the fact that he has only been in the factory for three years, the old director of the hardware factory tried his best to vacate a separate office for Feng Ming to concentrate on his work.

This treatment really made Xu Xiaoya talk about it to her third brother for several days.

And Xu Xiaoya's performance in her unit is not bad either.

Xu Qing heard his daughter-in-law Jinghong say a few days ago that her sister is now able to take charge of her own role in the workplace.

Thinking of the good momentum of development of his younger siblings, Xu Qing felt that he was quite competent as the eldest brother.

At least their careers are settled, and they are all cadres, so they don't have to suffer in the workshop like when he first entered the factory.

Just their personal problem side.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing never interfered.

It has not been resolved until now.

But Xu Qing is not in a hurry. Just follow his younger brothers and sisters. Whenever they bring their partner home, they will get married.

As for the money issue, Xu Qing has become the director of a factory and organizing weddings for his younger brothers and sisters is not a piece of cake.

Turn around early in the morning.

Xu Qing got up early and ate breakfast made by his wife and younger sister. Aiguo and Feng Ming sat beside him, next to his elder brother.

Feng Ming bit the white flour steamed bun in his hand, while chewing, he said:

"Brother, sister-in-law, our factory is planning to equip me with a bicycle, but I think it is inconvenient for me to walk to and from get off work. Almost none of the industrial vouchers I have accumulated in the past three years are useless.

Brother, why don't you buy another bicycle for our family. "

Xu Aiguo heard Feng Ming's words, and echoed:
"Brother, what the third child said is right. Our family has only one car now. During the May Festival, the tire of the car blew out once. Xiaoya went shopping on the street and pushed it back. I have to buy another car."

After Xu Aiguo finished speaking, he quickly put down his chopsticks, reached out and took out a handful of industrial coupons and put them in front of Xu Qing, smiling and saying:
"Brother, I have saved some too."

Seeing this, Xu Xiaoya swallowed the steamed buns in her mouth, and signaled that I also have some symptoms.

Ma Jinghong urged her son, who hadn't finished eating well, to turn around and see his uncle and sister-in-law, who took out their industrial coupons and said:
"Brother Qing, I have also saved a lot, and the ones you gave me before you went to university for further studies. The family has not needed to buy anything in the past few years, so I have kept them all."

Xu Qing looked up at his sensible younger siblings, virtuous daughter-in-law, and couldn't help feeling warm in his heart.
