Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 357 In the factory, in the courtyard

As soon as Secretary Xiao Gao left, Xu Qing sat on a chair in the office holding a pen, frowning suddenly.

The only good thing is that with Sun Deyou and Wang Minsheng here, it is relatively easy.

But the backlog of issues, the final decision-making power, is still in the hands of Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is the director of the factory. If he doesn't speak out about any matters in the branch, who would dare to decide without authorization.

Sun Deyou, a veteran of the world, had to ask for instructions, as for Wang Minsheng and several deputy factory directors, it was naturally the same.

No one who can climb up the career ladder is a fool.

But it's hard to say, it's not impossible for one or two of them to make up for it.

Cao Xiaojun and Xu Qing have not seen each other much in these years, but Wu Xiuying has called him several times.

I also listened to it with my wife.

Wu Xiuying is living well outside. With a new job, she has escaped from Cao Xiaojun's clutches. The divorce is very thorough, and she re-established a new family outside.

Thinking of Wu Xiuying's little canine teeth, Xu Qing couldn't help smiling.

Impressive.

I remember the first time I took Shazhu to meet Jinghong and the others, Wu Xiuying and Hui Lihua were still a group of innocent and bright little girls, lively, cheerful, chirping, and talking non-stop.

When they were happy, they grinned foolishly, lying on the iron railing, very happy.

My mood is all written on my face.

Angry, Wu Xiuying's little tiger teeth bared, a bit like an angry little tiger.

That look was really scary.

After Xu Qing smoked a cigarette, sorted out his complicated thoughts, extinguished the cigarette, grabbed the pen, and concentrated on the business in front of him.

When he got off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing was still busy with the work at hand, because during the period, he also met with a deputy director of the neighboring factory to talk about the cooperation between the two factories.

But early this morning, Xu Qing was still thinking about giving him the industrial vouchers given to him by his younger siblings and daughter-in-law, and taking time to share them with his ability.

As a result, I have been busy all day, and until now, I am still too busy to find time.

Now shouldering the heavy burden of the fifth branch factory, thousands of people in the factory have to rely on him, and there is only one word in my heart, tired!

It's just that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the work in the factory is put in order, just like the things at home were put in order back then, there will be no need to work so hard in the future.

Before Sun Deyou got off work, he saw Xu Qing still in the office and ran over to say hello.

"Director Xu, there is no need to work so hard. We are doing things for the country and we should do our best, but our body is our own. You have just taken office. If you fall ill from work, what should you do?"

Xu Qing held the pen and said with a smile: "Director Sun is right. I will get off work when I finish my get off work."

Sun Deyou nodded, said, see you tomorrow, and slipped away.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing finished reviewing some documents and left work.

How could the things that have been accumulated for ten years be done in one afternoon.

Even though it was handed over to him after a layer-by-layer review and approval process. Several deputy factory directors, department heads, and supervisory cadres all had their signatures, but the final decision had to be made by him. The factory director decides.

Among them, many things involved a lot of things, and Xu Qing had to talk to those deputy factory managers to implement them.

Hey, there's a lot of trouble, it's just a mess.

But there was nothing else he could do, he could only say that he hadn't caught up with the good times, but at this juncture, the main factory asked him to take on the burden of the fifth branch factory.

Speaking of it, this is the trust of the general factory in him.

But Xu Qing really didn't want to be that.

The factory directors of these days may have a good reputation on the outside, but if they don't do practical things, once the organization discovers it, the consequences will be obvious.

After Xu Qing divided the industrial coupons on his body, he put the separated ones on his body separately from the original ones.

After the last rays of sunset slipped from the sky, I rode back to the compound.

The courtyard is still the same as before, full of all kinds of trivial things.

Yu Li was quarreling with the third aunt, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law in the front yard. Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng, father and son, were caught in the middle, each trying to persuade his wife.

Mrs. Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court was scolding Xiao Dang for some unknown reason. Xiao Dang had an angry look on his face and his eyes widened, refusing to let Mrs. Jia Zhang off at all.

"Grandma, don't go too far! I'm not a three-year-old child. Don't call me a loser. I do it for the good of our family. If you can't understand it, you will know it later."

Jia Zhang's face was livid with anger, the feather duster in his hand was almost broken, and his joints were protruding, and he said sternly:

"Xiao Dang, you are a dead girl. Now that you are successful and capable, no one can care about you, right? If Brother You is not at home, you will be lawless. Do you really think that your mother is protecting you, but I can't do anything to you?!"

Jia Zhang's eyes could pop out of their sockets, and his face was sullen, as if he wanted to teach Xiao Dang a lesson.

Xiaodang puffed out his mouth angrily, not afraid at all.

Anyway, I just don't want to listen to my grandma.

What she said is her reason, but Xiao Dang insists on her own reason.

The aunt is mediating with the aunt, and Qin Huairu.

Sha Zhu didn't come forward, but Xu Qing looked at Sha Zhu, he should have meddled just now, and was scolded by Mrs. Jia Zhang, so he didn't dare to intervene now.

There is no way, Jia Zhang has never been a fuel-efficient lamp. She has a sharp mouth, which is both bitter and mean. When she curses people, few people can resist it.

But she just showed off her authority in the courtyard, and immediately calmed down her temper after leaving the courtyard.

A person of her age knows that no one outside will give her face.

She is an old woman, an ordinary commoner, and there is not a single man in the family. How can she not know the principle of being a good person with your tail between your legs?

That is to say, in the big courtyard, spread fire, and everyone in the courtyard, since they are all neighbors who live in the same courtyard, in most cases, turn a blind eye, close one eye, and muddle through, not wanting to cause too much trouble.

Otherwise, if nothing else, Liu Guangtian, a bastard like him, would be able to slap her away with just one slap!

Seeing Xu Qing coming back, Shazhu immediately ran to him from the door of his house, with a cigarette in his mouth, blinked, and whispered:
"Qingzi, show off your factory manager style and take care of Aunt Zhang."

Xu Qing pushed the bicycle, shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Brother Silly Zhu, I've been tired for a long day. I went to the main factory for a meeting in the morning and dealt with things in the branch factory all afternoon. I really don't have the heart to care about the things in the courtyard. .”

Seeing that Xu Qing was not in good spirits, Silly Zhu frowned and bared his teeth and said with a smile:
"Qingzi, brother, how about I help you get some good things, make you a soup, make up for it, you just became the factory director, this is not good, the country needs you, the people need you, our compound needs you more, you What if the body breaks down?"

Xu Qing smiled helplessly and said: "Brother Silly Zhu, thank you, but I've been busy all day today and didn't take a midday break. I'll just take a night's rest."

Silly Zhu yelled, reached out and patted Xu Qing's shoulder and said:
"Qingzi, don't be too hard." Silly Zhu scratched his head, thought for a long time and said: "Work hard, yes, don't be too hard, take your time, like my brother, I cook, I don't start until I have all the ingredients. It's not okay to rush. "

Xu Qing nodded, and after chatting with Shazhu for a few more words, he pushed the cart and went back to the backyard.

Nothing happened in the backyard. Liu Guangtian took his wife to the hospital for a physical check-up. Liu Haizhong, the second uncle, was at the door of the house, reprimanding Liu Guangfu in a low voice for asking him for money.

The second aunt was peeling green onions and complained to her third son for a while. When she saw Xu Qing coming back, she quickly pulled a handful of her bangs and smiled at Xu Qing and said: "

Hey, Xiaoqing is back from get off work. How does it feel to be the director of the fifth branch factory? "

Xu Qing turned around and responded to the second aunt, "Second aunt, I'm almost exhausted!"

"Hey, I just became the director of the factory, and I have a lot of entertainment, so it's okay to work hard. My old Liu, your second uncle, was the same when he was an official in the factory. He was so busy all day that he didn't have time to eat."

When Liu Haizhong heard that the second aunt mentioned his old affairs, he immediately coughed and told him not to talk about it.

The second aunt immediately shut up, knowing that her own old Liu remembered that Xu Damao had taken his black gauze hat again, and she was in a bad mood.

Xu Qing didn't answer, said hello to Liu Haizhong, and parked the cart towards the door of his house.

Jinghong and the little girl were walking back from get off work today, and they were cooking dinner together in the kitchen.

Xu Aiguo hasn't returned home yet, and Feng Mingren is not here either.

When Xu Qing entered the room, he saw his son Hongzhi lying on the edge of the kang, looking at the comics with relish, reached out to pat the little head and said:

"Go to the kitchen and help your mother and your sister-in-law light a fire."

The little guy looked up at Xu Qing, smiled and said:
"Father, Mom said, my task today is to wait for you to come back, and to scoop up water for you to wash your face. I don't need to light a fire."

Xu Qing said oh, and the little guy immediately closed up the comic book, put it on the kang, turned around and ran into the kitchen. After a while, he carefully returned to the front room with a ladle of water, poured the water into the washbasin, and cheered on his face. Said: "My mission is completed!"

After saying that, he put the ladle on the table, ran to the edge of the kang, grabbed the comic strip, held it in his hand, and prepared to continue reading.

Xu Qing reached out and pointed at the ladle on the table. Xiao Hongzhi immediately understood and timidly hurried back to the kitchen.

At this moment, Patriot came back and said to Xu Qing as soon as he entered the room:
"Brother, I met the third child on my way back just now. He said he was not going to have dinner at home tonight and wanted to go to a movie. There was no need to keep dinner at home."

Xu Qing hummed, feeling pretty good.

Whether it is Aiguo, Feng Ming, or younger sister Xiaoya, they have their own lives to go.

It is definitely impossible for Feng Ming to go to the movies by himself, there is no need to guess, there must be a girl by his side.

This is a good thing, it means that the third brother is talking about someone.

When you bring it home, you can watch it for a wedding.

The marriage of his younger brother and sister is currently Xu Qing's top priority.

His parents are away, and his grandparents are in the country. They are old and cannot help. As the eldest brother, he has to watch Zhang Luo.

However, compared to a few years ago when his younger siblings were still young, in recent years, Xu Qing felt that they hardly needed to care about him and Jinghong.

All of them are very sensible, and they can handle everything by themselves.

She often helps with the household chores, washing and cooking, and her younger sister Xiaoya is always with her daughter-in-law, making life difficult even for her.

During dinner in the evening, Xu Qing asked Ai Guo how his personal problem was going.

Xu Aiguo suddenly turned red in the face, stammered and stumbled, and did not say a complete sentence for a while.

Xu Xiaoya stood aside and whispered a few words to her sister-in-law Jinghong, which made Patriot's face turn red.

Ma Jinghong smiled and pursed her lips, glanced at the man, and signaled not to ask.

Xu Qing understood, and soon realized that the second brother was a good thing.

Of course there is a target, it depends on whether Feng Ming brought the person home to recognize the family before or after Feng Ming.

As for his younger sister Xiaoya, Xu Qing has never worried at all. She has been a beauty since she was a child, with a delicate appearance and cute appearance. When she grows up, she becomes even more graceful and graceful.

When she was still in school, Xu Qing heard from her second and third brothers that her sister received many love letters every day, but she didn't dare to take them home for fear that he, the eldest brother, would be angry.

Xu Qing just smiled and said nothing.It's not enough to be angry.

If anyone dares to pester his sister or bully her, he will teach him a lesson and not run away.

However, Feng Ming and Ai Guo were in school at that time, and it seemed that they had not heard of that blind boy who dared to cause trouble for his sister.

After all, when Feng Ming was in high school, his reputation in school was quite good.

Although he will not take the initiative to cause trouble, he is never afraid of it.

Anyone who dares to find fault will be beaten to death if caught!
Aiguo said that none of his senior students dared to provoke his third brother.

Xu Qing has never talked to Feng Ming because of this kind of thing, the school is just like that, too obedient, absolutely impossible!
Besides, the school didn't ask Xu Qing to go to school once because of Feng Ming's troubles.

Although Feng Ming didn't study hard, his scores were never among the top ten in the class every time he took the exam.

The teachers were naturally protective and helped carry them around.

What's more, if Feng Ming doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, it's all those stupid guys who don't like studying and are always looking for trouble.

As such.

To whom do the teachers speak, needless to say.

After dinner, Feng Ming hasn't come back yet.

Xu Qing took his son and his second brother Aiguo out of the house and enjoyed the cool air with everyone in the courtyard.

The noise in the front yard subsided, and Mrs. Jia Zhang in the middle yard no longer lost her temper with Xiao Dang.

Liu Guangfu asked for five yuan from the second aunt with a shameless face, and went out happily.

Under the twinkling stars in the night, the compound was quiet.

Just like when cooking, pots and pans collide together, inevitably making a clanging sound.

Once the meal was done, there was no sound.

Aiguo carried the old lady out of the house and let her breathe and cool down in the courtyard.

Shazhu and his wife, together with Xiaodang and Huaihua from Qinhuairu's family, came to the backyard.

Sit in the middle of the backyard and chat with everyone to cool off.

Xu Damao waving his cattail fan, sat in front of Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, there is a meeting at the main factory today, are you going?"

"went."

"How about it?"

"Alright."

Xu Damao looked envious. He had always dreamed of having this day.

However, in the past few years, Director Li has been in control of everything in the third factory. As the deputy director, he has never had room to display.

Director Li is out of action now, but he, the deputy director, has also fallen behind.

Now that the factory director has taken over, it's his turn to take the lead.

Xu Damao has been unable to be promoted again, and he is depressed.

As soon as Xu Qing came back from his university studies this year, the main factory was promoted to be the director of the fifth branch factory.

Xu Damao felt happy for Xu Qing on the one hand, but envied him very much on the other hand.

Over the years in the compound, Xu Qing was the first to be promoted.

The first person to be the factory director was Xu Qing.

Xu Damao thought he was capable, but he could never catch up with Xu Qing.

My heart is somewhat uncomfortable.

But who makes him less courageous than Xu Qing!

Xu Qing asked him if he wanted to go to university together for further studies.

He hesitated again and again, but still didn't dare to go.

Thinking about it at this time, I couldn't help but regret it.

If he had known this would happen, he would have gone.

Maybe, like Xu Qing, he could become the director of a branch factory within three years.

The sound of insects near the wall in the courtyard occasionally sounded, which made Xu Damao even more worried and upset.

Yan Bugui took the opportunity to ask Xu Qing something.

Xu Qing answered them all with a smile.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong held cigarettes in their mouths, smoking and listening quietly.

The two of them had nothing to ask. The third uncle Yan Bugui asked all the questions they originally wanted to ask.

From time to time, the two of them would take the opportunity to say a few words and express their own opinions.

There are not only the situation in the factory, but also the domestic situation, as well as some rumors about foreign countries.

These things are not the only things to talk about after dinner.

Qin Jingru, Ma Jinghong and Xiaoya chatted with the first aunt and the second aunt with the old lady.

The old men say what they say, and the women say what they say.

If the topic of speech is stuck together, everyone will chat together.

At ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Fengming pushed the bicycle provided by the factory, and came back wearing stars and moon, with a happy face.

When everyone in the courtyard took a look, they all stood up and looked at Xu Fengming's bicycle.

"Hey, new car, Feng Ming, you just bought it today?"

Yan Bugui asked while circling his bicycle, waving the cattail leaf fan in his hand with the help of the light of the bright moon.

"Third Lord, I can't afford to buy the ones provided by the factory, and you don't give me some relief. I'm desperately short of money, so I can't afford to buy them."

Yan Bugui frowned, hearing Feng Ming's twisted words.

Instead of getting angry, he smiled.

The eyes hidden behind the lenses glanced at Feng Ming and grinned:
"Boy, don't be so poor as I am, your elder brother is now the director of the factory, and I can't afford you to find him!"

Xu Fengming bared his teeth and laughed.

He deliberately teased Yan Pugui just now, who doesn't know that the third master in the courtyard values ​​money more than life.

Sure enough, the third master was still the third master, and when money was mentioned, he immediately became nervous.

The moon was thin and the evening breeze was blowing. Everyone surrounded the bicycle and talked.

Yan Bugui said to Xu Qing:
"Xiaoqing, your family has a lot of people now, and today Fengming is equipped with a car from the factory, but I see, your family still doesn't have enough cars."

Xu Fengming flattened his mouth and said bitterly to Yan Bugui:

"Third Master, in a few days, my family will buy another one, how about it, will it be okay?"

When Yan Bugui heard the words, he suddenly felt heartbroken.

Good guy, as soon as I mentioned it, Xu Qing's family is going to buy a car.

Over the years, my family has only had one.

This is incomparable!
