Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 374: Help my sister check

The moon is still very bright, and the night sky reflected is much brighter than usual.

Xu Qing did not comfort Si Zhu, but raised his hand and patted his shoulder, turned around and went back to the house.

After all, this is Shazhu's own choice.

Xu Qing told him from the very beginning that the chances of those girls in the art troupe where Jing Hong was in was not very likely to fall in love with him.

The girls in the art troupe are more beautiful than the other, so they don't have to worry about finding a partner.

Silly people in their thirties naturally don't even think about it.

Of course, there are exceptions to everything.

But for this exception, Xu Qing feels that the possibility of it happening to Sha Zhu is not very high.

Sha Zhu is just an ordinary cadre, with a more mature appearance, no matter how nice he is, no matter how good his heart is.

But no matter when, there is no liking in appearance, and you will always be at a disadvantage when it comes to finding a partner.

When the other party looks at the photo, the first impression is unfavorable. When he hears that it is more than 30, how can he want to date her?

Silly Zhu sat alone in the backyard for a while, smoked two cigarettes, put down his upturned legs, stood up and went back to the middle courtyard lonely.

After Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming sent the old lady back, they also returned to the hut where they lived to rest.

As for Liu Guangtian and his wife, they left earlier.

At this time, there was no one in the courtyard, only the bright moon hanging under the night, silently pouring bright moonlight.

The sound of insects gradually resounded in the compound, playing under the moonlight in the deep night, riding the cool evening wind.

Turn around early in the morning.

After Xu Qing got up in the early morning, he went to work with his younger siblings and wife after breakfast.

Xiao Hongzhi, on the other hand, was carrying the schoolbag that Jinghong and Xiaoya sewed two days ago, holding his mother's hand, wearing new clothes, pouting his mouth, with a sullen expression on his face.

The little guy didn't want to go to school at all, but he was afraid that Xu Qing would whip his ass with the sole of his shoe, so he had to go if he didn't want to.

Xu Qing and Jing Hong packed two homework books, three pencils and an eraser in the small schoolbags they carried.

Walking into the front yard, Xu Qing said hello to the third uncle Yan Bugui who had been waiting for him.

Seeing Xu Qing coming with his son, Yan Bugui bent down, picked up the little guy, put it on the back seat of the bicycle, and then yelled at the room where his son Yan Jiecheng lived.

"Xie Cheng, let your daughter out quickly, Hong Zhi has come from the backyard, I will take them both to school now."

Yu Li hurriedly opened the door curtain and said, "Dad, please wait a moment. I'll be here soon."

Yan Bugui was a little helpless, his eldest son and daughter-in-law were procrastinating in everything, and it was not easy at all. They knew that their children had to go to school today, so they didn't say to prepare early.

Now I'm leaving, but it's not done.

Xu Qing smiled and took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Bugui, parked the bicycle aside, and said:

"Third Master, my son will trouble you at school. If there is anything, you can call my office."

"it is good."

Yan Bugui took the cigarette and responded with a smile.

Five minutes later, Yu Li took her daughter out of the house and handed it to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui put the two little ones on the bicycle, watched Rang sit down, then rode on the bicycle in the alley, and walked towards the street together with Xu Qing and others.

At the entrance of the alley, everyone separated.

Those who go to work go to work, and those who go to school go to school.

The day started like this.

In the afternoon, when Xu Qing came back from the factory, he heard from Yan Bugui in the front yard that his son Hongzhi and Yu Li's daughter both cried a lot at school.

I hurried back to the backyard, and as a result, my son, who cried a lot at school, was playing happily in his own yard with the hoop rolling.

It's not like crying at all.

During dinner that night, Xu Qing asked his son:

"I heard from your third grandpa, did you cry at school today?"

Xu Hongzhi held his job, his head shaking like a rattle, "I don't have one, I'm a man, I won't cry!"

When Xu Qing heard that his son refused to admit it, he smiled and didn't ask any more questions.

Xu Xiaoya and Jinghong looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

Children don't always get emotional when they first go to school.

Not to mention that the little guy cried today, Xiaoya, Aiguo, and Fengming were just in school.

I cried almost every day, and after nearly half a month, I gradually recovered.

The days passed, and it was National Day in a blink of an eye.

The weather has cooled down completely. After two autumn rains, the chill is getting deeper day by day.

I couldn't wear the single clothes on my body, and without a thin sweater underneath, I couldn't bear it in the morning and evening.

But what is gratifying is that after ten years of changing the sky, the dust has finally settled and it is completely over.

Although there are still some residual effects, it is no longer a big problem.

People across the country were overjoyed.

Especially those who have suffered countless disasters in the past ten years are crying with joy and lamenting that life is really not easy.

However, this is not too unfair to Xu Qing.

He had made plans from the very beginning. When he was in Factory No. [-], he never thought about a big step for promotion. He had been promoted slowly and steadily.

Therefore, under extra care and caution.

Although I couldn't survive alone, I spent the difficult ten years smoothly.

On the first day of the National Day, Xu Qing took his wife and son to visit the father-in-law's house in the morning, and went to the master's Lao Zhang's house in the afternoon.

When I got home at night, I heard from my sister that she went to her partner's house today, and her partner will come from home tomorrow.

Xu Qing sat at the table, feeling very happy.

My sister is not young anymore. She used to be a little girl, but now she has become a big girl. It's time to get married.

Yan Jiedi in the front yard will get married in a few days. Although Xiaoya is younger, she can't help but be anxious.

The next day, Ma Jinghong took Xu Qing to the street to buy groceries early in the morning. She also bought some wool and planned to knit a sweater and scarf for her son Hongzhi.

At noon, Xu Qing had just returned home from shopping for groceries when he saw his sister leading a capable young man from the central courtyard into the backyard.

Behind them were Aunta, Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru, and Yu Li.

Xu Qing smiled immediately, knowing that everyone in the courtyard wanted to take a good look at his sister's partner.

Then they all let them into the house and poured tea for them.

Sitting on the edge of the Kang, holding the enamel tea mug handed by Xu Qing, the first mother looked at the young man beside Xiaoya. After several glances, she smiled and said:
"Xiaoya, what's your partner's name? What do you do?"

The aunt likes to inquire about these things. Like all older aunts, she wants to know everything.

Xu Xiaoya blushed, glanced at her partner, and said:

"Auntie, his name is Liu Jianjun. He used to be a soldier. After he was discharged, he was assigned to be the section chief of the security section of our piano factory."

The big mother let out an oh, with shock in her eyes.

And Qin Huairu, Qin Jingru and Yu Li were even more stunned.

The second aunt who lived in the backyard also came to Xu Qing's house with her second daughter-in-law.

As soon as they entered the room, they heard Xiaoya's words, and the two of them were taken aback for a moment.

They had heard that Xiaoya had a partner before, but they didn't expect that the partner was a retired soldier and a section chief.

Yu Li poked Qin Huairu with her elbow and said:
"Sister Qin, my sister-in-law, she married an ordinary cadre."

Qin Huairu hummed and thought: "What if, Jie Di only has a high school education and can find a cadre, which is good enough. How can she compare with Xiaoya? Xiaoya is a college student and has a high level of education. She is definitely not looking for a partner. They are ordinary cadres."

It's just that Qin Huairu thinks that her two daughters, Xiaodang and Huaihua, are also adults, and they will be able to marry in a few years.

I couldn't help but think to myself, "I don't know if my two daughters will be able to find one to be the section chief."

And at this moment, Ma Jiefang's family of three came to Xu Qing's house taking advantage of the crisp autumn weather.

Seeing Xu Xiaoya's partner coming home today, Ma Jiefang and Wu Yuemei were a little embarrassed, feeling that they came at the wrong time.

But those who don't know are innocent, Ma Jiefang took out a cigarette, handed one to Xu Xiaoya's partner, then sat beside Xu Qing, gave Xu Qing and Feng Ming cigarettes, and asked Xu Qing:

"Brother Qingzi, what is the name of Xiaoya's girlfriend?"

Xu Qing lit a cigarette and said, "Liu Jianjun."

Ma Jiefang heard the words, looked at Liu Jianjun, smoked and said:

"Jianjun, I am not Xiaoya's brother, but I have always treated her as my sister. If you dare to bully her, I don't know whether Brother Qingzi, Aiguo, and Fengming will spare you, but I'm sure I won’t let you go!”

When Ma Jinghong saw her younger brother, as soon as he came home, she said something to her sister-in-law's partner, she gave her a busy look, and motioned to stop talking nonsense.

Wu Yuemei also secretly kicked the horse to free herself.

But Ma Jiefang didn't take it seriously.

Anyway, he said whatever he wanted, Xiaoya couldn't say that he watched her grow up.

Speaking of it, it's about the same.

After all, when Xiaoya was still in elementary school, he and Xu Qing were already working at the Red Star No. [-] Steel Rolling Plant.

Didn't Liu Jianjun hear Xiaoya say who Ma Jiefang was?

All I know is that Xiaoya has three older brothers.

At this moment, he was a little puzzled, and looked at Xu Xiaoya with a questioning face.

Xu Xiaoya pursed her lips and smiled, just as she was about to explain, Ma Jinghong came over with tea poured for her younger brother and sister-in-law Yuemei, put it on the edge of the kang, turned her head and introduced to Liu Jianjun:

"This is my brother's liberation."

Liu Jianjun hurriedly said, "Hello Brother Jiefang, how dare I bully Xiaoya, my parents said yesterday that if I dare to bully, they will break my legs!"

Ma Jiefang burst into laughter and said to Liu Jianjun:

"Yes, your parents are right, if you dare to bully me."

Ma Jiefang was halfway through speaking, Xu Qing raised his hand to stop him, saving this little brother-in-law from messing around.

He doesn't need to worry about his sister's partner coming home.

The lunch was made by Jinghong and Yuemei in the kitchen. Xu Xiaoya wanted to help, but was pushed out by Jinghong.

There are many people in the family, so there is no need at all.

During the meal, Xu Qing asked his daughter-in-law Jinghong to take two bottles of Xiaoyekui Moutai, and did not touch the things Liu Jianjun had brought when he came.

After two glasses of wine, Xu Qing asked Liu Jianjun about his family and his personal situation.

Now that his parents are away, as the eldest brother, he has to help his sister take care of things.

Liu Jianjun put down his chopsticks, sat up straight and said:
"Brother Xu Qing, my parents both work in the army. I have an older sister who was married the year before last. I was discharged from the army four years ago and was assigned to the piano factory. Because I made a third-class meritorious service while I was in the army, as soon as I entered the factory, I got married. He was directly promoted, and in the first half of last year, he was promoted to be the chief of the security department of our factory."

Xu Qing heard about it, looked at Liu Jianjun, and felt that he was quite a nice person, and he spoke in an orderly manner, and he didn't think he was acting on purpose.

The conditions at home are also good.

It can almost be said to be the right match.

Xu Aiguo on the side said: "Comrade Jianjun, your parents work in the army, why did you choose to retire?"

"Back to Brother Patriot, it's a long story. I can't explain it in detail to you, Brother Xu Qing, and Brother Fengming for the time being, but I really like Xiaoya. If there are no accidents, I expect to return to the army next year."

Xu Fengming rolled his eyes when he heard Liu Jianjun's words, "Is there a special mission?"

Liu Jianjun's expression changed suddenly, and he looked at Xu Fengming like a sharp sword, but he returned to normal in an instant, and nodded with embarrassment.

Seeing this, Xu Qing waved his hand and said, "It's okay, we don't ask about those."

Liu Jianjun seemed to be relieved, and his tense body relaxed. He stood up, picked up the wine bottle, poured a cup of tea into the enamel tea jar, and said:

"Brother Xu Qing, Brother Patriot, Brother Fengming, Brother Jiefang, Sister Jinghong, Sister Yuemei, I apologize to you."

After speaking, he raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

Ma Jiefang took a look and couldn't help but said: "Hailiang, come on, I'll walk with you."

As Ma Jiefang said, he grabbed the wine bottle and wanted to pour wine into the tea mug in front of him. Wu Yuemei glared angrily, and could only say bitterly:

"Next time, drink next time."

Not long after lunch, Liu Jianjun checked the time and was about to leave.

Xu Qing asked his sister to be sent out of the compound.

Ma Jiefang stood at the door of the house and said to Xu Qing:
"Brother Qingzi, I think Xiaoya's partner is okay."

Xu Qing smoked and said, "You think he can drink, right?"

Ma Jiefang grinned, "Brother Qingzi, an enamel jar is stuffy, it's as good as the two of us."

Xu Qing didn't respond any more, turned around to look at his second brother and said:

"Patriot, both Feng Ming and Xiaoya have brought their partners here. You are the only one left in our family. You have to hold on tight."

Before Xu Aiguo opened his mouth, Ma Jiefang hurriedly said:
"Brother Qingzi, when did Feng Ming's partner come, why didn't you know to call me and let me meet too."

Xu Qing glanced at his third brother, and Xu Fengming immediately put his hand on Ma Jiefang's shoulder with a smile and said:

"Brother Jiefang, if you want to meet my partner, you can set up a table in Donglaishun at noon tomorrow, and I will definitely take her there."

Ma Jiefang curled his lips and patted his trouser pocket with his right hand, "Brother, I have to be rich. Your sister Yuemei takes my salary. What can I get to Donglaishun?"

Xu Fengming pursed his lips, shook his head, and said:
"Brother Jiefang, I really didn't expect your ears to be so soft."

Ma Jiefang turned around and glanced into the room. He saw his daughter-in-law Wu Yuemei washing dishes with her fifth sister in the kitchen. He turned around, straightened his waist, and said to Xu Fengming:
"Boy, brother, it's not that my ears are soft. I'm just loving you, sister Yuemei. You didn't see me when I was a man."

"Really?" Xu Fengming looked unbelieving.

Ma Jiefang snorted and talked about his past to Xu Fengming.

Xu Qing didn't bother to expose it, so he turned to his second younger brother and said:

"Patriotic, hold tight!"

Xu Aiguo knew what his elder brother meant, so he nodded and said yes.

At this time, Yan Bugui, the third master of the front yard, came to the back yard, walked up to Xu Qing and said with a smile:
"Xiaoqing, Xiaoya sent her partner away?"

Xu Qing nodded, raised his hand, took out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Bugui.

"Third Master, what do you need from me?"

Yan Bugui took the flue and said, "My daughter Jie Di will get married the day after tomorrow. You will have to be in our courtyard then to help me organize things."

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Third Master, there's nothing I can do to help, isn't it enough with my wife and my sister?"

Yan Bugui shook his head, "I must have you, you are the director of the factory."

Xu Qing instantly understood what the third uncle meant. He wanted to help him support his appearance, so he agreed with a smile.

"Patriotic, Feng Ming, you two have to be in the courtyard the day after tomorrow." After Yan Bugui finished speaking, he also said to Ma Jiefang: "You will also come to our courtyard the day after tomorrow, and it will be lively together."

Ma Jiefang was a little stunned, thinking that Yan Bugui was being polite, so he said hello smoothly.

Unexpectedly, Yan Bugui didn't want to be polite at all, and really planned to let him come.

Ma Jiefang is a cadre, and Yan Bugui hopes that when his daughter gets married the day after tomorrow, the more cadres the better.

Not only save face, but also receive an extra gift money.

The abacus in my heart, it was a jingle!
