Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 367 Yanbu Guila English
In Xu Qing's room, the whole family was lively and lively.

Feng Ming brings his partner to his home for dinner, which is naturally a happy thing.

The second aunt who lived in the backyard with Liu Guangtian's wife was sitting in the shade picking vegetables when she saw Xu Fengming returning to the compound with his partner.

He couldn't help but think that his youngest son, Liu Guangfu, had been engaged some time ago, but he hadn't brought his future daughter-in-law back to the compound, so that everyone in the compound could look at him, and he couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable.

Squeezing the leeks in her hand, she suddenly lost her mind to pick them up, and threw them all to the second daughter-in-law. She stood up from the bench, went back to her own room alone, and said to Liu Haizhong, who was resting on the kang, shaking a cattail fan:
"Old Liu, Feng Ming brought his partner back just now, and their place is very lively now. You said that the third child of our family should also bring his partner to our yard earlier?"

Liu Haizhong listened to the second aunt's words, still shaking the cattail fan, lying on the kang, lazily said:

"Forget it, it's just our little bastard. We don't care whether he likes it or not. Anyway, we have booked it for him personally. We will get married in the future. Judging from the situation, he will definitely stay in the hospital with his second son. You still have to worry about the hospital. Can’t anyone see it?”

The second aunt was suddenly stunned, and her heart sank.

Of course she knew Liu Haizhong was right.

How can her mother not know what her three children look like?
Liu Guangfu has followed Liu Guangtian since he was a child. He didn't learn any of the good things, but he learned all the bad things.

Now Liu Guangtian still lives in the courtyard, built a house, and after getting married, he brings his wife to her place to eat and drink every day.

The second aunt nagged her many times, but Liu Guangtian and his wife turned a deaf ear.

If Guangfu gets married again and builds a house in the courtyard to live in, then...
The second aunt's mood fell to the bottom in an instant.

Liu Haizhong slowly sat up, held the cattail leaf fan in his hand, and said:
"How about the girl Feng Ming brought back? Is it better than the daughter-in-law of our third boy?"

The second aunt said: "I look pretty handsome, I don't know what kind of person he is, but that kid Feng Ming is smart, I guess his partner will not be bad."

Liu Haizhong nodded, shook the cattail fan again with his right hand, looked sideways at Xu Qing's house through the window glass.

At this time, in Xu Qing's room, Jinghong and Xiaoya had already cooked the meals they had prepared in advance from the kitchen, and were bringing them to the front room one after another.

Xu Qing originally wanted to help, but Fengming brought Tang Xiujuan here today. As the eldest brother, he is the head of the family after his parents are gone, so he didn't go to the kitchen.

Xu Aiguo took his nephew into the kitchen and helped his sister-in-law and sister pack dinner.

Xu Fengming sat at the table, chatting with his partner and brother.

Xu Qing looked at the partner of the third brother, quite satisfied.

He has an oval face and a small turned nose. He is two years younger than Feng Ming. His parents are overseas Chinese. He was educated abroad since he was a child. He speaks fluent English and is very proficient.

He has a cheerful personality, even though he is tainted with some foreign atmosphere. When he speaks, he will occasionally subconsciously say one or two English words.

But Feng Ming likes Tang Xiujuan, and even if Xu Qing is dissatisfied, he won't say anything.

From now on, when Feng Ming marries her, Xu Qing will be the eldest brother and there is no way he will interfere in their lives.

It doesn't matter whether you are satisfied or not.

He only hoped that they would live happily together in the future.

Not long after, the food was all served on the table.

A plate of fish-flavored shredded pork, a plate of roasted eggplant, a plate of scrambled eggs with leeks, a plate of stewed chicken, a plate of braised fish, two plates of cold dishes, and a pot of mung bean soup.

Nowadays, life at home is getting better, and food is getting better as well.

Although it cannot be said that there is meat to eat every day, there is still some meat every now and then.

After all, Xu Qing has become the director of the fifth branch factory, and his salary has already surpassed that of ordinary cadres.

Jinghong has also worked in the art troupe for many years.

Regardless of whether it is Aiguo, Fengming, or Xiaoya, they have all graduated from college and have been working for more than three years.

Even if I think about the poor days at home, I can't help it.

What's more, Fengming brought Tang Xiujuan to his house today, so the food is naturally not bad.

Xu Hongzhi was really happy to eat delicious food with him. The little guy was full of joy.

She put the kitchen dishes and chopsticks on the table early, and then sat down between Jinghong and Xiaoya, upright and trying to be patient, waiting for the meal to begin.

Xu Qingchao said to Aiguo, his second brother, and asked to take out a bottle of the small-leaf sunflower Moutai that Sun Deyou gave him a few days ago from the water jar in the kitchen.

Today is a day to be happy about, so how can we not drink a little.

And at the same time.

Xu Damao, who hadn't seen anyone since early in the morning, came back pushing his bicycle.

Seeing Xu Qing's room eating so early today, he was a little surprised.

Standing in the courtyard while parking the bicycle, he turned to Qin Jingru who came out of the house and asked:
"Qin Jingru, are there any relatives coming to Qingzi's family today?"

Qin Jingru poured the dirty water from the washbasin in his hand onto the ground in the yard, saying:
"Yes, I just heard from Liu Guangtian's wife that Feng Ming brought his partner to our hospital."

When Xu Damao heard this, he immediately stood on tiptoe, stretched his neck, and tried his best to look at Xu Qing's house.

I want to see what Feng Ming’s partner looks like.

It's just that Xu Damao's move immediately caused Qin Jingru's complexion to change suddenly, his eyes rolled, and Xu Damao gave him a blank look, then turned around and went back to the room alone.

However, Xu Damao didn't see it, so he ran into Xu Qing's house to look.

Xu Damao is not a person without sense of propriety. Now Xu Qing and his family are having dinner. He ran over and knew it was inappropriate.

Not seeing it, Xu Damao turned around and went back to his home.

While unbuttoning his half-sleeves, he turned on the electric fan to blow the cool breeze and said to Qin Jingru:

"Hurry up and cook, I'm starving to death."

Qin Jingru was actually cooking in the kitchen, standing in front of the chopping board and kneading dough. When she heard Xu Damao shouting that he was hungry, he didn't stop holding the rolling pin in his hand and replied directly.

"There are two more steamed buns in the pot, and there are some leftover hot and sour cabbage I had for lunch in the cupboard. Please take a bite."

Xu Damao was shirtless and wearing a red vest. He walked into the kitchen, took out the cold steamed buns from the pot, took a bite and held it in his mouth. He bent over and glanced at the leftovers in the cupboard. He had no appetite and raised his hand to eat again. I closed the small door of the cupboard and saw the newly bought cucumbers in the kitchen.

I grabbed one, washed it with water, and ate it with steamed buns.

At the same time, he stepped out of the house and headed towards the front yard, ready to find Yan Bugui and ask Feng Ming how his partner was.

Anyone who wants to come to the compound must pass through the front yard.

Xu Damao ate a steamed bun with a cucumber in his hands, went to the front yard, walked into Yan Bugui's house, opened his mouth and called out the third master, but the third mother came out of the kitchen and said:
"Who did I think it was? It turned out to be Da Mao. What do you want to do with your third master? He has gone to the street and will be back later."

"Nothing to do, just came over to visit."

Xu Damao chewed the steamed buns and took a bite of cucumber. Seeing that Yan Bugui was not at home, he turned around and walked out.

However, he turned around and just stepped out of the third uncle's house. When he looked up and saw Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao sighed.

"Did you hear that Feng Ming brought his partner to our hospital?"

Yan Jiecheng put his hands in his pockets, holding a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and said:
"My wife said that Feng Ming brought a girl back, but I didn't see it. I was sleeping in the house at that time."

Seeing that it was useless to ask Yan Jiecheng, Xu Damao didn't bother to talk to him anymore, chewed steamed buns and ate cucumbers, and returned to the backyard.

The sun gradually disappeared, and the dry heat gradually dissipated, like a stove that had been burning for a day, the temperature faded, and the weather finally cooled down.

Xu Damao and Qin Jingru ate two bowls of fried noodles in the house, burped, and leaned on the window to look into Xu Qing's house.

Seeing that Xu Qing's family had already finished dinner, they walked out of the house and strolled over to Xu Qing's house.

At this time, Xu Qing's family was chatting with Tang Xiujuan.

As soon as Xu Damao came to the door, Xu Fengming introduced himself to his partner:

"This is our neighbor, Xu Damao, who lives in the backyard with my family and the second uncle Liu Haizhong."

Tang Xiujuan smiled at Xu Damao and nodded her head as a greeting.

Xu Damao didn't see him, he stood beside Xu Fengming and said:

"Feng Ming, hurry up and introduce your partner to me."

Xu Fengming pointed at his partner with a smile, "Brother Da Mao, my partner is Tang Xiujuan."

Xu Damao nodded, and looked at Tang Xiujuan, secretly feeling that Feng Ming was really lucky to find a partner who was so beautiful.

But Xu Damao saw that Xu Fengming didn't have anything to say, so he didn't have the nerve to open his mouth to ask other questions.

I didn't even dare to change my mind.

Although he couldn't move when he saw the beautiful girl, his eyes wanted to glance at her a few more times.

However, which ones can be teased and which ones can't.

I still have this in mind.

Now in the compound, Xu Qing's family has the highest prestige.

The four Xu Qing brothers and sisters, together with Ma Jinghong, are all cadres.

In particular, Xu Qing is the director of the Red Star Fifth Steel Rolling Mill, and Xu Damao has an idea of ​​Xu Fengming's partner.

That's not lighting a lamp in a latrine - looking for shit (seeking death)!
After Xu Damao sat at Xu Qing's house for a while, Silly Zhu came in from outside the house carrying the old lady on his back.

Seeing Xu Qing's family besides Xu Damao, there is also a girl they don't know, Sha Zhu and the old lady, and they are taken aback at the same time.

"Qingzi, who is this?"

Silly Zhu opened his mouth and asked.

Xu Qing smiled and said: "The target of Fengming is Tang Xiujuan."

When Si Zhu heard this, he grinned happily, put the old lady on the kang, and smiled at Xu Fengming:
"Boy, you've already run ahead of me, brother. Why didn't you tell me in advance? If you had known, I wouldn't have gone to Yuyu today."

Xu Fengming took out a cigarette, handed one to Sha Zhu, and then gave another to Xu Damao, without answering Sha Zhu's words.

The old lady crossed her legs and sat on the kang, looking at Tang Xiujuan with a smile on her wrinkled face, and whispered to Ma Jinghong:
"When will Feng Ming's partner arrive?"

Although the old lady spoke in a low voice, Sha Zhu could hear it, and hurriedly looked at Xu Fengming and asked:

"Boy, when are you and your partner going to do things? Brother, I can help you hold the banquet and take charge of the banquet."

Xu Fengming took a puff of cigarette, and hurriedly waved his hands, "Brother Yuzhu, I'm still early, don't worry, I'm going to marry Xiujuan, you will definitely be invited to the banquet."

Silly Zhu smiled, took a sip with a cigarette in his mouth, raised his legs, turned his head to look at Xu Aiguo, frowned, and blurted out:
"Patriot, please hurry up. Your partner will be brought to our courtyard anytime for everyone to take a look."

Xu Aiguo never expected that the conversation could be transferred to himself, so he was caught off guard and said:
"If my partner comes to the compound, I will definitely inform you in advance."

Silly Zhu still raised Erlang's legs, while patting the dust sticky on his trouser legs with his hands, he opened his mouth and wanted to say more.

Xu Aiguo immediately introduced Shazhu to Tang Xiujuan and said, "This is He Yuzhu, who is also a neighbor of our hospital, and lives in the Intermediate Court."

Then continue to introduce the old lady sitting on the kang to Tang Xiujuan.

Xu Fengming whispered to his partner: "Brother Yuzhu has always had a good relationship with my family. I told you before that he is very good at cooking. The old lady is the most senior ancestor in our academy. Everyone has to listen to what he says! "

Tang Xiujuan glanced at Shazhu, then turned to look at the old lady sitting on the kang.

At this moment, Yan Bugui brought the three mothers and Yan Jiecheng's daughter to Xu Qing's house.

In addition, the eldest man, aunt and Qin Huairu from the Intermediate Court also came together.

Xu Qing's room was suddenly crowded with people, and everyone came to see Feng Ming's partner.

When Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li came over, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt had just walked into Xu Qing's house.

Qin Jingru and Liu Guangtian's daughter-in-law also came over one after another.

This time, the number of people in Xu Qing's room increased even more.

Everyone was chatting and laughing, and looking at Tang Xiujuan.

Yan Bugui hadn't asked Xu Fengming much about what his partner was doing in the front yard.

At this time, he asked, "Feng Ming, where does your partner work?"

"Third Master, she is in the 'Overseas Chinese Affairs Office'."

As soon as Xu Fenming said this, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, Yu Li, the first aunt, the third aunt and the second aunt were all stunned one after another.

They don't have much culture, so they don't know what "Overseas Chinese Affairs Office" is.

Even though Qin Huairu and Yu Li had studied in night school together, they only had a junior high school education, and they didn't understand Feng Ming's "Overseas Chinese Affairs Office" at all.

As for Yu Li and the three aunts in the courtyard, they are not even at junior high school level, and they are even more confused.

Yan Bugui held the peony cigarette Xu Fengming just handed him in his mouth, glanced at it, and explained in his teacher's style:

"The Overseas Chinese Affairs Office is a unit that maintains friendly exchanges between our country and overseas Chinese compatriots."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, seeing his daughter-in-law Yu Li still looking confused, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart and said in detail again:

"Overseas Chinese are Chinese living in foreign countries, and the Overseas Chinese Affairs Office deals with those overseas Chinese."

Yu Li understood now, and asked Tang Xiujuan:
"Do you usually speak foreign languages ​​at work?"

Tang Xiujuan frowned slightly, but instantly relaxed her brows and said with a smile:
"Sometimes it depends on whether they are used to communicating in English or our national language."

Yu Li snorted, and looked at Tang Xiujuan with envy.

Tang Xiujuan can speak English with those overseas Chinese, which is amazing!

In fact, not only Yu Li, but also Qin Huairu, Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Yan Jiecheng, and the three elders in charge of the courtyard were all secretly muttering in their hearts.

It's amazing that Feng Ming found such a capable partner!

However, Yan Bugui didn't believe it and thought, if Tang Xiujuan could really speak a foreign language, how could she fall in love with Feng Ming.

Immediately, he asked Tang Xiujuan in his broken English, which he had not mastered for many years:
"are you ok?"

"What?" Tang Xiujuan was startled, and immediately said, "Third Master, what do you say?"
