Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 368 Xu Damao is defeated

Yan Bugui didn't understand Tang Xiujuan's rhetorical question, but he didn't want to lose face in public, so he choked out a sentence, "Idon't no."

He couldn't pretend anymore, he wanted to show off his knowledge, but not only failed to show off, he was also stumped by the other party.

Immediately, his face flushed slightly ashamed, but luckily he was holding the cattail fan in his hand, and kept fanning it to cover up his embarrassment, so he took the opportunity to change the subject and said:

"Look at this day, it's really hot to death, it's all out, and it's still so stuffy."

Xu Qing looked at Yan Bugui, smiled, and didn't reveal the fault.

Knowing that the third master is a shameless person, there is no need for him to make a fool of himself in public.

Sha Zhu and Xu Damao looked at Yan Bugui, neither of them understood what the third master and Tang Xiujuan said.

The two stewards, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, as well as the sisters Yu Li and Qin Huairu, naturally listened in confusion.

There are not many people in the compound who have gone to college, except for the four Xu Qing brothers and sisters, there is only Sha Zhu.

Before Shazhu and Xu Qing entered university for further studies, their cultural background was extremely poor, not to mention English, even the Chinese characters in the newspaper could not be recognized.

Even though he studied in university for three years, English is not a compulsory subject during these years, so Sha Zhu naturally didn't learn it.

Therefore, except for the four brothers and sisters Xu Qing and Yan Jiecheng, everyone else only felt that Yan Bugui could speak English very well.

He didn't understand the pain in Yan Bugui's heart at all.

In this way, Yan Bugui is not too embarrassing.

Otherwise, he, the third uncle, would be in great disgrace today.

Xu Fengming smiled and said to Yan Pugui:
"Third Master, I forgot to tell you that my target's parents are overseas Chinese. She also studied abroad when she was young. She is a thief in English!"

Yan Bugui was stunned, and looked at Tang Xiujuan in a daze, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

Daring is such a thing.

Yan Jiecheng has a high school education. He just managed to understand the conversation between his father and Tang Xiujuan, and knew that he was wrong.

But he would not say that Yan Bugui would not come to Taiwan.

After all, father and son.

Yu Li sat next to Qin Huairu, secretly poked Qin Huairu with her elbow, and said proudly:
"My dad is an old teacher, isn't he awesome? He can speak English."

Qin Huairun nodded, she was a person who didn't know any English words, let alone understand them.

Just now, when the third master uttered a few words in English in front of her, he took it very seriously.

He opened his mouth to ask Yan Bugui what he and Tang Xiujuan said just now.

Yan Bugui hurriedly stood up and said first:

"Xiaoqing, you guys chat first, I have a little stomachache, let's go out for a while."

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he hurried out of Xu Qing's house, rubbed the soles of his feet with oil, and went back to the front yard.

After Yan Bugui left, Qin Huairu didn't say what was on his lips.

But Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were sitting at the side, smoking a cigarette, and did not ask about Xu Fengming's partner.

The two of them are not as inquisitive as Yan Bugui.

The third mother, the second aunt, and the first mother, these three asked Tang Xiujuan about everything, where were their parents, and how did they meet Feng Ming.

Almost all of them are trivial chores.

Tang Xiujuan was a little overwhelmed, so she quickly gave Xu Fengming a look and asked for help.

Xu Fengming waved his hand and said:

"One big mom, two big moms, three big moms, where are you guys interrogating prisoners? My partner will come to my house for a meal. See what you're asking. If she's so scared that she won't be nice to me, I'll let my three uncles judge for me. No!"

Seeing that Xu Fengming wasn't married yet and Tang Xiujuan hadn't been married before, the aunt fell in love with her, and said with a smile, "Don't ask, aunt. When the time comes for you to have a wedding, I'll drink you two more glasses of wedding wine, aunt."

When Xu Fengming heard what his aunt said, he grinned and said:

"That's no problem, but you and my uncle must not forget to follow suit!"

Everyone burst into laughter when they heard this.
In the courtyard outside the house, the sky is getting dark, the Milky Way hangs upside down, and the bright moon looms.

The sound of insects near the base of the wall in the courtyard rang intermittently, and stopped abruptly when the cool wind blew slightly.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Fengming stood up from the edge of the kang, turned his head and said to Xu Qing:
"Brother, I will send my partner back first."

After Xu Fengming finished speaking, he said to everyone sitting in his courtyard: "First uncle, second uncle, let's chat first."

After Xu Fengming took Tang Xiujuan to say goodbye to everyone, they walked out of the house together, pushed their bicycles, and went to the main gate of the compound.

Mrs. Jia Zhang from the Intermediate Court did not come to Xu Qing's house today. He stood alone in front of the door of his house, leaning against the window sill, looking at the empty yard, knocking the watermelon seeds just fried from the pot alone.

Not long ago, she was driven to the backyard and made a fuss in Xu Qing's room.

Offending Xu Qing, naturally also offended Xu Qing's younger siblings.

He also had no face to go to Xu Qing's house. Seeing Xu Fengming pushing Tang Xiujuan in a cart from the backyard, he glanced twice and said nothing.

Seeing Xu Fengming and Tang Xiujuan enter the front yard, Jia Zhang looked away faintly, grinned and muttered something in a low voice, then glanced at the backyard again, seeing that Qin Huairu was still at Xu Qing's house, turned around and went back to the house .

At this time in the backyard, the first uncle and the first mother were still sitting in Xu Qing's room with the second uncle.

Although they came here today mainly to see Tang Xiujuan, Xu Fengming's object, but in fact, they also wanted to take the opportunity to establish a good relationship with Xu Qing's family.

The highest official in the compound is Xu Qing, and Xu Qing's younger brothers, sisters, and daughter-in-law are all cadres.

They still want to follow Zhanguang'er in the future, so naturally they won't just turn around and leave just because Xu Fengming's partner has left.

Yan Jiecheng held his daughter in front of him and said to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, your third brother Feng Ming is so good, but he kidnapped someone who knows English!"

Xu Qing glanced at Yan Jiecheng with a hint of displeasure on his face.

What does it mean to kidnap someone who understands English?
After putting out the smoke, Xu Qing said, "Brother Xie Cheng, my third younger brother is a cadre, and the people he associates with can speak English, isn't it strange?"

Yan Jiecheng was suddenly embarrassed, and his body with his arms around his daughter also froze.

He saw that Xu Qing's face was not good, and he realized that the words he just spoke were inappropriate.

Seeing this, Yu Li gave Yan Jiecheng a fierce look in her eyes, and quickly smoothed things over with a smile:

"Qingzi is right. When Feng Ming is a cadre, the person he is looking for must be educated. How normal is it to know English? Mom, don't you think so?"

The three mothers nodded straightly when they heard the words, and echoed:
"Isn't that right? The first ones in our courtyard to go to college are Feng Ming, Ai Guo and Xiao Ya. They are highly educated. How can you find someone who is uneducated? If you can't get married and have quarrels every now and then, what will happen to your life? Pass?!"

When Liu Haizhong heard the third aunt's words, he thought it made sense. He raised his head and glanced at his second daughter-in-law.

Liu Guangtian's daughter-in-law's face darkened instantly, she twisted her head, and cursed her father-in-law in her heart, it's really not a thing!
At the same time, he secretly felt that Liu Haizhong just looked down on him for not having studied.

In fact, Liu Haizhong was not satisfied with his second daughter-in-law at all.

Not having read the book is the second thing, what he cares most about is that she follows Liu Guangtian shamelessly, going to her own house to eat and drink every day.

She doesn't look like a daughter-in-law at all.

At the same time, Yan Jiecheng glanced at Yu Li, but Yu Li stared back.

Yu Li was uneducated before, and her education was only at the elementary school level.

Yan Jiecheng graduated from high school, and the two of them quarreled every few days just as the three mothers said.

However, Yu Li has a lot of eyes. Even though Yan Jiecheng is not low-educated, in front of her, he is like a mouse meeting a cat.

Don't look at Yan Jiecheng who looks like a man outside all day long.

But as long as she gets home, Yu Li will do whatever she says.

Unless you are impatient and try to be more powerful, in the end you will not have to listen to Yu Li for everything.

When Xu Fengming drove his partner Tang Xiujuan home by bicycle, and then returned to his compound, it was already past nine o'clock in the evening.

The people in the courtyard have moved from Xu Qing's room to the backyard, sitting on the mat, enjoying the cool air and chatting.

The moon is very bright, the evening breeze is very light, and the thin clouds cover the bright moon like a veil under the night sky.

Xu Fengming parked his bicycle at the door of his house, looked at the mugwort that smoked mosquitoes at the door of his house, then turned around and walked to the courtyard, took off his cloth shoes, sat on the mat next to his elder brother Xu Qing, and looked at the moon. Smoking a cigarette, listening to the first and second uncle talking about the recent situation.

The situation is still changing, but in general, it can be regarded as a conclusion.

Xu Qing didn't express his opinion, but sat beside Yi Zhonghai and listened quietly while hugging his son who was tired from playing.

The two stewards and Yan Bugui each expressed their own opinions.

But Xu Qing listened for a long time, and felt that what the third master said was more reliable.

Anyway, he is a teacher, so he can see farther than Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

After ten o'clock, everyone went home one after another. The third grandfather in the front yard took his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter back to the front yard.

Yi Zhonghai asked Sha Zhu to carry the old lady back to the back of the house, and went back to the middle courtyard with Da Ma and Qin Huairu.

Xu Qing, Xu Damao and the second uncle who lived in the backyard continued to sit in the yard.

Although everyone has to go to work tomorrow, but now, no one is an apprentice, so there is no need to get up early.

Xu Damao was taciturn today, barely speaking.

When the three stewards in the courtyard were talking about the recent changes in the situation, they were smoking without saying a word.

It wasn't until Liu Haizhong left with the second aunt that Xu Damao said to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, brother, I'm afraid I'm going to die. If there is any vacancy at your fifth factory, help me think of a way to send me to your place."

Xu Qing handed his sleeping son to his daughter-in-law Jing Hong, who carried her back to the house first, then turned to look at Xu Damao, and said with a wry smile:
"Brother Damao, our branch currently has no shortage of deputy directors."

Xu Damao scratched his ears and scratched his cheeks and said, "Qingzi, brother, I really can't recruit now. The deputy directors I helped surnamed Li to overthrow a few years ago are now reinstated and rehabilitated. Sue me.

The man surnamed Li only wanted to protect his own black gauze hat and pushed everything on me. Brother, my life in the No. [-] Factory is extremely sad. You can have anyone there, and I don’t want to be a section chief or anything like that. No, even if it’s a minor subject! "

Xu Qing shook his head, "Brother Damao, it's not that I won't let you come to my factory. It's just that this matter is difficult to handle. I don't have a suitable reason to second you. Factory No. [-] will not let you go."

Xu Damao sighed, smoked heavily, frowned, and after thinking for a while, he sighed again and said:
"Well Qingzi, if you have a good job there in the future, remember to think of me, brother."

Xu Qing nodded, indicating yes.

Actually, Xu Qing didn't dare to let Xu Damao go to the fifth branch.

Even if the third factory releases people, they will not agree.

In all fairness, Xu Damao is a capable person, and he is also smooth and sophisticated in dealing with the world.

But there is one thing, Xu Damao has a full stomach and likes to tease everywhere.

This problem can't be changed, Xu Qing sent him to the fifth branch factory, it was just asking for trouble for himself.

Furthermore, it has not been long since Xu Qing took office at the fifth branch factory, and the fifth branch factory has not yet been rectified, and production and other aspects have not returned to normal.

The factory is in a mess right now. On this festival, if Xu Damao goes to the No. [-] branch factory and makes a noise, Xu Qing, as the factory manager, will have a dull face. The main reason is how to lead Sun Deyou and Wang Several deputy directors of Minsheng.

In the eyes of thousands of workers in the factory, Xu Qinggang's reputation in the factory was about to be ruined.

If Silly Zhu had said this to Xu Qing today, Xu Qing might have agreed.

Silly Zhu doesn't like Xu Damao's love for flirting with flowers and grass.

But no matter what, there is no indiscretion in life style.

In the afternoon, the setting sun turned half of the sky red. Xu Qing was riding a bicycle. When the sun set in the courtyard, Silly Zhu ran up to him and whispered with a smile:

"Qingzi, Xu Damao has been planted,"

"Planted?"

"Ah."

Silly Zhu, with a cigarette in his mouth, nodded his head and said, "Qingzi, you are in the fifth branch factory. You probably haven't heard about the things in the third factory. The director has gone, and today Director Li has appointed Xu Damao's deputy director."

Xu Qing couldn't help but frown, Director Li actually still has such a say in the third factory?
However, when I thought that the curtain of the end of the changing world had not yet officially fallen, I instantly felt relieved.

"Brother Silly Zhu, Xu Damao was arrested, did you get involved?"

Xu Qing asked quietly as he pushed his bicycle.

Silly Zhu grinned and blew out the smoke in his mouth: "Hey, brother, I had a meal with Director Li and gave him some eye drops. Why does Xu Damao's grandson always have trouble with me when he's fine? It's not like you don't know , Brother, I am still alone, and the culprit is Xu Damao!"

Silly Zhu had an angry look on his face, "Qingzi, if he hadn't messed up things between me and Qin Jingru a few years ago, my brother and I might have run away now."

Xu Qing frowned slightly, pondering in his heart.

"What silly Zhu said is not unreasonable.

Xu Damao poached his corner and intercepted Hu Qin Jingru, causing him to have no wife now, so he is indeed responsible. "

Pushing the cart, when Xu Qing passed through the crescent gate between the middle courtyard and the backyard, he said to Shazhu:
"Brother Silly Zhu, is Xu Damao back yet?"

Silly Zhu blinked, pouted at Xu Qing, and pointed to the backyard.

Xu Qing took a look and saw Xu Damao squatting alone at the door of the house drinking.

Silly Zhu stopped in his tracks, smoked and said, "Qingzi, brother, I won't go to your backyard today."

Xu Qing hummed, knowing that Sha Zhu was afraid that Xu Damao would get into trouble with him when he got drunk.

After all, these two people have been fighting in the courtyard for so many years, and one has always refused to accept the other.

Seeing that Silly Zhu turned around and went back to his home in the middle courtyard, Xu Qing pushed the bike into the backyard, and reached in front of Xu Damao, stopped the bicycle, and said to Xu Damao:
"Brother Da Mao, drink less."

Xu Damao's eyes were drunk, his right hand held the wine bottle, he stood up unsteadily, blushing, looked at Xu Qing, and said with a mouth full of alcohol:

"Qingzi, that bastard surnamed Li, he gave me up today, he's a grandson!"

Xu Qing was not in a hurry to speak, took out a cigarette, handed one to Xu Damao, and said:
"Brother Da Mao, have you retained your status as a cadre?"

Holding Xu Qing's cigarette in his left hand, Xu Damao shook his body and said, "If the surname Li dares to erase my status as a cadre, see how I can kill him!"

Seeing that Xu Damao was drifting off from drinking, Xu Qing couldn't even stand still, so he reached out and snatched the wine bottle, put it aside, supported Xu Damao, and went back to his room.

As soon as Xu Qing entered Xu Damao's house and saw Qin Jingru in the house, he said:
"Qin Jingru, Brother Damao was drinking just now, why didn't you stop him?"

Qin Jingru snorted, "Qingzi, don't worry about him, he will drink as much as he wants, if he dies, he will fall down!
He flirts with other women in the factory, and the deputy director is gone, so how will I live in the future? ! "

Xu Qing was speechless, helped Xu Damao to the kang, ignored Qin Jingru, turned around and opened the curtain, and walked out.

It was past seven o'clock in the evening.

Xu Qing had just finished dinner with his wife, son, and younger brothers and sisters when he heard a commotion in the backyard of his home.

When he went out, he saw that it was Qin Jingru who was arguing with the drunk Xu Damao in the yard, carrying big bags and small bags.

"Xu Damao, you are no longer the deputy director. What else do I have to do with you? From now on, I will live at my sister's house, so don't bother me!"

"Qin Jingru, you bitch, I warn you, quickly put the things back in the room for me, I'm no longer the deputy director, but I'm still your man!"

"Xu Damao, are you a man?" Qin Jingru stood in the courtyard with a big bag in his left hand and a small bag in his right, staring at him, and said coldly:

"Don't think I didn't know that you and Lou Xiao'e didn't have children before. I knew you were so useless. I shouldn't have married you in the first place. You think I can't have children. That's your problem.

You beat me before, but now that your deputy director is gone, why am I still following you? "

Qin Jingru and Xu Damao made such a fuss that everyone living in the backyard came out of their houses when they heard the noise.

Xu Damao was dismissed from the position of deputy director by the factory today, and he was not happy at all, but now he was poked in the sore spot by Qin Huairu in public, his heart was cold, and he started to be ruthless, then he was drunk, raised his hand and slapped Qin Jingru His face was slapped down hard.

Clap!
Qin Jingru was sent flying and fell to the ground, lying on the ground, covering her face with her hands, her eyes became sharp, she opened her mouth and cursed sharply:
"Xu Damao, you are useless, and you still beat me, okay, I will not divorce you anymore, I will divorce you!"

Xu Damao turned a deaf ear, grabbed Qin Jingru's hair, pulled it into the room, stared fiercely at Qin Huairu, and cursed:

"I didn't want to marry you back then, you pestered me to death, now I want to divorce, it's too late!"

Qin Jingru saw that Xu Damao was furious, and his face turned pale with fright. Knowing that he would not escape a severe beating when he returned to the house, he hurriedly shouted to the middle courtyard:
"Sister, come to the backyard quickly, Xu Damao is going to beat me to death."
