Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 366

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Okay, then I'll ask your sister-in-law to make more good ones at home."

Xu Aiguo smiled at the side and said nothing, the third brother wanted to bring his partner home, so he was naturally happy as the second brother.

Only in this way, the pressure was put on him.

Xu Aiguo was about to rub the soles of his feet with oil and run away, for fear that his elder brother would ask him.

However, before he walked out of the house, Xu Qing was smoking a cigarette:

"Patriotic, what about you? When will your partner come to our house?"

"Brother, I'm not in a hurry. I'll discuss it with my partner first and ask her what she means."

Xu Qing snorted, puffed out the smoke from his mouth, and didn't ask any more questions.

Aiguo has been more sensible than Fengming since he was a child. He is rarely naughty and is very similar to his eldest brother in everything he does. Therefore, Xu Qing is not worried about his second brother's personal problems at all.

The last day in late August, the weekend, was sunny and cloudless.

Xu Fengming finished his breakfast early in the morning, dressed in a new suit that Jinghong and Xiaoya had just made for him with a sewing machine, and happily left the compound.

Before leaving, Xiaoya smiled and said to her eldest brother Xu Qing, sister-in-law and second brother:

"I went to find my partner and brought her to our house in the afternoon."

Xu Qing and his wife Jing Hong looked at each other and smiled.

As for Xiaoya and Aiguo, if you look at me and I look at you, they are also happy.

Finally, he looked at Xu Fengming and hurried to go.

After Xu Fengming walked for more than an hour, the weather began to become hot and dry, and the ground was already hot from the strong sunlight, and it was only after nine o'clock in the morning.

After cleaning the dishes for breakfast, Ma Jinghong, Xu Xiaoya and sister-in-law each rode a bicycle and went to the street to buy vegetables.

Jinghong rode her man Xu Qing's bicycle, and let her sister-in-law ride the recently bought lady's bicycle.

Xu Hongzhi followed his mother and sister-in-law to the streets.

Xu Qing and Aiguo were left in the house.

Aiguo also had something to do in the morning, but he didn't need a bicycle. Not long after Jinghong left with her son and sister-in-law, she also left the compound.

In the end, Xu Qing was the only one left in the family. Xu Qing was about to clean the kang with a feather duster when Silly Zhu came over from the middle courtyard and said with a grin:
"Qingzi, Aiguo and Fengming are not here. Where are your wife and little girl? Why are they not here?"

Xu Qing put the feather duster on the bed and said, "Everyone is out, I'm the only one."

Hearing this, Silly Zhu reached out and took out a cigarette, handed it to Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, brother, I'm worried to death right now. You said I'm already a cadre, why can't I find a suitable partner to marry?"

Xu Qing took the cigarette from Sha Zhu, and said, "Brother Sha Zhu, you don't have to be late for a good meal, don't be too anxious to get angry."

Silly Zhu sat down on the edge of the kang, looked at Xu Qing, took a puff of cigarette, and said with a frown:

"Brother, I can't be in a hurry. Your son is six years old now, and I'm still single. Didn't Feng Ming borrow a car from his factory for me last weekend? I went to meet the female college student introduced by my aunt. , As a result, people are quite satisfied with my work, and they also approve of me as a cadre, but they dislike me for being too old.

You say, brother, why am I so unlucky that I have never met a suitable person? ! "

Xu Qing didn't know what to say. Silly Zhu was indeed too old. Although a person in his thirties had already been promoted and had the status of a cadre, it was still a bit difficult to marry a college student.

Xu Qing brewed a mug of tea, put it on the table and said:
"Brother Silly Zhu, I'm not talking about you as a younger brother. If you are really anxious, then find someone who can live a life. It doesn't matter if you have education or not, it doesn't matter how your job is, and it doesn't matter if you are a cadre. As long as you like it, the other party You also live a down-to-earth life, you are everywhere, and you might be able to get married before the end of the year."

Silly Zhu crossed his legs and said, "Qingzi, I understand what you mean about brother. I am not a cadre anymore. What will happen if I find someone who is not a cadre?"

Xu Qing felt quite helpless when he heard this.

In the past, before Sha Zhu mentioned his job, all he wanted was to find a young girl and get married.

Now after lifting the dry, the eyes are also raised, and the general women are a little bit contemptuous.

Xu Qing had no choice but to say: "Brother Silly Zhu, I can't help that younger brother."

Silly Zhu hurriedly said: "Qingzi, why don't you ask your daughter-in-law Jinghong to inquire for me in their art troupe to see if there is any suitable one."

Xu Qing suddenly realized that Silly Zhu came here today to say this.

"Brother Silly Zhu, well, when Jing Hong comes back, I'll tell her and let Ming'er help you in their group to ask, but Brother Silly Zhu, I can say what I have to say first, the ones in my wife's group Those girls have extremely high standards, you are now a cadre, but it may not be that they can think highly of you, "

Silly Zhu gritted his teeth and said, "It's okay, Qingzi, it's fine for Jinghong to inquire for me, and I'll do the rest myself."

Seeing what Sha Zhu said, Xu Qing didn't say anything else.

Ten minutes later, Shazhu got up and left, saying that he would carry the old lady to his sister Yuyu's house while the weather was nice today.

Xu Qing sent Sha Zhu out of the house and went to the old lady together.

Now that the old lady's legs and feet are getting worse, coupled with the fact that she is getting older every year, her body and bones are not as good as before. She hasn't been out of the compound for more than a year.

Silly Zhu thought about carrying it out for a walk.

Xu Qing watched Shazhu carry the old lady on her back, and then sent it to the main gate of the compound.

Seeing this, Liu Haizhong, who lives in the backyard, opened the curtain from his own room and walked out, asking Xu Qing and Sha Zhu:
"Is this to take the old lady out to relax?"

However, Xu Qing didn't answer yet. He bent down, holding the old lady on his back and raised his eyelids and said:

"Second uncle, look at what you said, I don't recite the old lady to go out to relax, she can't go out by herself, right? You don't recite it, right?"

Liu Haizhong was so choked by the silly Zhu that he had nothing to say, turned around and hid in the house with a sullen face.

The old lady lay on Sha Zhu's back, sighed, and had nothing to say about Liu Haizhong.

In the courtyard, Liu Haizhong is the one who should be in charge of the old lady the most among the three in charge.

However, speaking of Liu Haizhong, he is the least caring among the three.

Generally, in most cases, it is Yi Zhonghai, the elder who lives in the middle courtyard, and the elder mother, and the two always go to the backyard to visit the old lady from time to time.

Yan Bugui occasionally took Yu Li's daughter to sit in the old lady's room for a while.

But Liu Haizhong, who lives in the backyard and is the steward of the backyard, rarely visits the old lady's house.

Just after a while, let the second aunt bring some food to the old lady's house.

He doesn't go there himself.

At this time, Xu Qing saw that the second uncle in Liu Haizhong had been left in a rage by the idiot, so he didn't say anything.

The main reason is that it is hard to say, Liu Haizhong is older in the courtyard and has a higher seniority.

As a junior, Xu Qing couldn't fault him.

Sha Zhu is out of his temper, and everyone in the courtyard knows that even if Sha Zhu's bangs were embarrassing just now, Liu Haizhong would not be as knowledgeable as him.

Of course, if Liu Haizhong really broke up with Shazhu, he might not be able to say goodbye to Shazhu.

Liu Haizhong doesn't take advantage of it, once the silly chatterbox is opened, if he yells in the courtyard, he will only suffer!

At this time, Shazhu carried the old lady on his back to the middle courtyard, and said to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, you see, the second uncle is such a thug, he is obviously the master in charge of your backyard, but he doesn't care about the old lady, even our first middle courtyard master can't compare to him!"

Xu Qing hummed, which was regarded as an answer.

Yi Zhonghai was kind to the old lady, and Xu Qing knew why.

Yi Zhonghai has no children, and the old lady is also a widow. The two families are very similar.

On the one hand, the first man wants to subtly influence Silly Zhu by providing the old lady with a care for her until she is old, so that Silly Zhu can support them both when they grow old.

On the other hand, the old lady has two houses that are not.

Xu Qing sent Shazhu and the old lady out of the compound, told Shazhu to be careful on the road at the alley, walk slowly, and then returned to his home in the backyard.

The weather was getting hotter and sunnier at the moment, so Xu Qing took the laundry tub and the dirty clothes inside out of the house, sat on the small bench, and started washing.

Xu Qing hasn't done laundry for many years.

Ever since Xiaoya became sensible, almost all the clothes at home were wrapped by her sister alone.

Later, Xu Qing married Jinghong, and they became Jinghong and Xiaoya.

It was rare that the weather was good today, so Xu Qing sat alone in the courtyard and washed his clothes.

The second aunt took the dirty yellow rubber shoes in her bangs from the house, and stood at the door of the house, ready to wash them.

Seeing Xu Qing, he opened his mouth and asked:
"Hey, Xiaoqing, why didn't you go out to socialize this weekend?"

Xu Qing sat on the bench, straightened his waist, squeezed soap (soap) to rub his clothes and said:

"Second aunt, my third brother brought his partner to my house today, how can I go out."

When the second aunt heard this, she suddenly became curious, and ran to Xu Qing's side and hurriedly asked:
"Xiaoqing, which girl is Feng Ming's partner?"

"Second aunt, I don't know about this. Feng Ming only said that his target parents are overseas Chinese, and they returned to China a few years ago."

The second aunt was shocked, "Overseas Chinese? Oh, your third brother Feng Ming is really capable!"

Xu Qing smiled and didn't answer.

Three in the afternoon.

Just after lunch, Ma Jinghong and Xiaoya started working in the kitchen with the vegetables they bought in the morning.

Xu Qing took his son to freeze a watermelon in a large enamel basin with cold water, waiting for his third brother's partner to come and entertain him.

Aiguo is helping his sister-in-law Jinghong and younger sister in the kitchen, and lighting the fire by the way.

Been busy for over an hour.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, Xu Fengming pushed his bicycle and took his partner into the compound from the alley outside the main entrance of the compound.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui had just woken up from a lunch break and was smoking at the door of the house without glasses, when he saw two figures coming in from the outside.

She turned her head and asked the third mother to give him the glasses. Once she put them on, she saw clearly that it was Feng Ming and a girl she had never seen before.

Yan Bugui immediately whispered to the third aunt: "Who is that girl next to Feng Ming?"

The third mother looked blank, it was the first time she saw her, how could she know, she shook her head and said:
"Master, I look at someone who looks like Feng Ming. I've never seen him before."

Yan Bugui snorted, and walked towards Fengming.

"Feng Ming, just came back, who is the lesbian next to you?"

"Third uncle, my partner is Tang Xiujuan."

Xu Fengming bared his teeth and introduced with a proud face.

At the same time, he did not forget to introduce Yan Bugui to Tang Xiujuan.

"This is the third master of our compound."

Tang Xiujuan was dressed in a green military uniform, and her jet-black hair was braided. Hearing Feng Ming's words, she smiled and said to Yan Pugui:
"Hello, three masters!"

Yan Bugui nodded, smiled and said:

"Feng Ming, you are bringing your partner to our compound today to recognize the door."

Xu Fengming replied: "That's right, Xiujuan has long wanted to come to our hospital. Today, my eldest brother, sister-in-law, second brother, and Xiaoya are all at home, so I will bring her to my house for dinner."

At this time, the third mother walked up to Xu Fengming, looked at Tang Xiujuan, she looked handsome, prettier than her three daughters-in-law, and couldn't help boasting:
"Feng Ming, your partner is really handsome!"

Xu Fengming was also not modest, and said with a smile: "Third Mom, that is, my partner must be beautiful."

When Xu Fengming led Tang Xiujuan through the middle courtyard, Jia Zhangshi, Qin Huairu, and Da Ma who were standing in the middle courtyard were all dumbfounded when they saw Tang Xiujuan.

But Xu Fengming didn't stay in the middle courtyard, he gave Tang Xiujuan a brief introduction, and then went back to the backyard where he lived.

In the backyard, Xu Hongzhi was standing near the root of the yard wall, catching dragonflies when he saw his third uncle coming back.

He immediately turned his head and shouted towards his house:
"Dad, mom, second uncle, sister-in-law, my third uncle is back."

When Xu Hongzhi called out, Xu Qing hurried out of the house with his wife, second brother, and younger sister.

When the third brother came back, his partner naturally came too.

Ma Jinghong and Xiaoya saw Tang Meijuan next to Feng Ming before they left the room. They immediately stepped forward to greet her and said with a smile on their faces:

"Feng Ming, please introduce me to my sister-in-law."

Xu Fengming laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, this is my date Tang Xiujuan."

After Xu Fengming finished speaking, he immediately introduced his elder brother Xu Qing, second elder brother Aiguo, younger sister Xiaoya, and elder sister-in-law to his partner and asked others.

Tang Meijuan followed Feng Ming to the compound for the first time, with a shy look on her face, her head slightly lowered, and she hurriedly looked at Xu Qing and Jinghong, patriotic, Xiaoya said:
"Brother, sister-in-law, second brother, Xiaoya, hello!"

Xu Qing responded with a smile, and hurriedly let him into the room.

And Xu Hongzhi kept sneaking glances at Tang Xiujuan with his dark eyes.

After Tang Xiujuan entered the room, she hurriedly stretched out her little hand to grab Xiaoya's skirt and asked:
"Sister-in-law, who is the eldest sister next to my third uncle?"

Xiaoya bowed her head, pinched her little nephew's nose and said, "That's your future third aunt."

Xu Hongzhi seemed to understand, but nodded.

In the room, Tang Xiujuan followed Xu Fengming and sat on the edge of the Kang, looking a little cautious.

It's your first time here, so you're bound to be nervous.

At this time, Xu Hongzhi ran to Tang Xiujuan's side with a tooth of watermelon in his hands, grinned and said brightly:

"Hello, third aunt, let's eat some watermelon. My father and I have been icing it with cold water for a long time."

When Xu Fengming saw this, he suddenly felt that his nephew was quite polite today.Not naughty at all.

Tang Xiujuan looked at Xu Hongzhi and was slightly startled. She bent down and took the watermelon with a smile. She reached into her pocket and took out a handful of 'White Rabbit Toffee' and handed it to the little guy.

Holding candies in both hands, Xu Hongzhi smiled sweetly and said, "Thank you, Third Aunt."
