Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 383 The third brother is promoted to section chief

When Xu Qing returned home, it was already dark, and as soon as he parked his bicycle at the door of the house, his daughter-in-law Jinghong and younger sister Xiaoya said that his third brother Feng Ming had been promoted to section chief in his factory today.

Not only that, he also brought a camera ticket home today, saying it was given to him by the factory.

When Xu Qing heard this, he reached out and took the camera ticket from Jing Hong. He felt happy and felt that his third brother was doing well. He was promising and had established a firm foothold in the factory where he worked.

It's just that he didn't see the third brother in the house, so Xu Qing asked his wife:

"Jing Hong, where is Feng Ming?"

"As soon as he came back from get off work, he and Aiguo went to the coal station to buy coal ash."

Suddenly, Xu Qing turned around and walked outside the house, looking at the pile of coal that had no more briquettes, he couldn't help frowning slightly.

The briquettes at home are used a lot during this period, especially after autumn, when the weather is getting colder, in addition to cooking at ordinary times, a stove is also set up in the house.

Briquettes can be used quickly.

Not long after, Xu Qing heard the voices of his second and third brothers coming from the middle courtyard. It was obvious that the two brothers had returned from buying coal ash, so he took his son Hongzhi out of the house.

Aiguo and Feng Ming helped the people at the coal station push the cart, and the three came to Xu Qing from the darkness.

"Brother," Aiguo said to Xu Qing, and turned to let the soot delivery master unload the soot at the door of the house.

Xu Fengming handed a cigarette to his elder brother Xu Qing, and then handed one to the master who was just about to unload the coal ash. He stood next to Xu Qing and said happily:

"Brother, I was promoted to section chief in our factory today."

Xu Qing turned to look at the third brother, smiled and hummed, and said:
"Your sister-in-law and Xiaoya made your favorite braised pork for you in the kitchen. Remember to eat a few more pieces later."

Xu Fengming was overjoyed, turned around and hurriedly probed into the lighted kitchen of his home, and looked inside through the window.

The light bulbs in the kitchen were emitting dim yellow light and white water vapor was swirling, making Xu Fengming unable to see clearly.

However, the sound of chopping vegetables could be heard clearly.

Xu Damao, who also lives in the backyard, came back late from get off work today. As soon as he pushed his bicycle into the backyard, he saw the three Xu Qing brothers standing in the yard, and there were people from the coal station unloading coal.

Xu Damao pushed the bicycle diameter to Xu Qing's side, sucked his teeth and said:

"Qingzi, that old bastard, Lao Yang, really came to the third factory today and called a lot of people."

"Are you looking for trouble?" Xu Qing asked.

"No, those people didn't even come in the factory. They were stopped by your father-in-law and the security department at the gate of the factory, and they were sent away."

Xu Qing let out a sigh, looked at Xu Damao and said:

"Brother Da Mao, then you should be careful recently, don't let Lao Yang lead someone to block you outside."

Xu Damao gritted his teeth, took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Qing, called Feng Ming again, raised his hand and threw one over, saying:

"Qingzi, brother, I'm not scared. I'm afraid of that old bastard!"

Xu Damao said it very hard, but he was still a little timid in his heart.

He was in the light and the enemy was in the dark, so naturally he had to take precautions. He came back late today, so he actually hid in the factory for a while.

Xu Qing didn't say anything more. He had already reminded him. Xu Damao just knew what he was doing.

After the master of the coal station unloaded the coal ash neatly at the door of the house, Xu Qing let him in and asked him to drink a glass of water before leaving.

Over the years, he and the old master from the coal station have become old acquaintances.

I buy coal every year, and it’s hard to imagine whether I’m familiar with it.

The old master at the coal station could always take a break at Xu Qing's side.

Sitting on the warm kang, the old master, who was sweating and wrinkled, drank a mug of hot tea, wiped off the sweat with a towel around his neck, stretched out his hand to grab the cigarette stuck behind his ear, and used Lighted the match and took two puffs, stood up and said:
"Master Qing, my family is waiting for me to go back to have dinner after get off work, so I won't bother you."

The old master at the coal station was leaving, and Xu Qing asked his second brother to see him off with a flashlight.

It's dark, it's getting dark early, there's something wrong with it, it's not good.

Just as Xu Aiguo took the flashlight on the kang, Xu Damao came over at this moment. Seeing that the old worker at the coal station was about to leave, he opened his mouth and said:

"Patriot, don't send him away. I'll send him out. My family happens to have to let him send a load of briquettes tomorrow."

Xu Damao and the master worker from the coal station walked out of Xu Qing's house together and went out of the compound.

Ma Jinghong, Xiaoya, and sister-in-law had just finished cooking dinner in the kitchen. When they saw the people from the coal station leaving, they said, "Brother Qing, Patriot, Feng Ming, you guys hurry up and wash your hands and eat."

After Ma Jinghong finished speaking, she took her sister-in-law and turned back to the kitchen to serve the food.

Xu Hongzhi hadn't finished his homework yet. When he heard that it was time to eat, he stuffed his pencils and homework books into his school bag, slipped off the kang, ran to Xu Qing, got under his father, and put his two little hands He also reached into the washbasin.

Jinghong and Xiaoya put freshly steamed buns and two dishes on the kang in the front room.

There are so many people in the house, one pot of steamed buns can only be eaten for one day, and almost half of them can be wiped out after one meal.

Tomorrow morning, eat another meal and it will be gone.

Fortunately, Jinghong has a sister-in-law to help her. Otherwise, she would have to work all day during the day and come back from get off work in the afternoon to steam buns and cook. She would be exhausted.

Xu Qing, Aiguo and Feng Ming all have big appetites, eating two steamed buns is like playing.

Xu Qing is already thirty, and Aiguo and Fengming are also in their twenties.

At this age, it is the time to eat and drink.

Especially Xu Fengming, who was a big eater since he was a child, ate one more steamed bun in one meal than Jinghong and Xiaoya combined.

It's just that today, Xu Fengming has been promoted to section chief, and he is considered the protagonist of the family.

To celebrate, Jinghong and Xiaoya specially made braised pork.

After all the food was placed on the hot kang, Xu Fengming broke the steamed buns in his hand, picked up two pieces of brightly colored braised pork with chopsticks, stuffed them inside, and took a big bite, eating with relish.

Seeing it, Xu Hongzhi suddenly felt that the braised pork in his mouth was no longer delicious. He tilted his head, his small shiny black eyes blinked, and pestered his mother, insisting that he also break the steamed bun for him. Put the meat in the steamed buns, and eat like Uncle San,
Xu Qing was happy today, ignored his son's fuss, picked up the wine bottle, filled the wine cups in front of the second and third brothers, and the three brothers left one by one.

However, Xu Qing was in the house with his brothers, sisters, wife, and son, and they hadn't finished eating yet.

Silly Zhu came over from the middle courtyard, walked into the room, looked at Xu Fengming, said with a smile on his face:

"Boy, are you lying to my brother? A few days ago, he said that he would be promoted to section chief at the end of the year. Why did you get promoted just after the National Day holiday?"

Holding a steamed bun with braised pork in his hand, Xu Fengming turned to look at Shazhu, grinning and said:

"Brother Yuzhu, our factory is very efficient. I only found out after going to work today. Have you eaten? My sister-in-law cooked braised pork. Can you try it?"

Silly Zhu waved his hand, sat on the stool in front of the table, patted his belly and said:
"I've already eaten. My aunt made noodles with soybean paste today and insisted that I go to her house to eat them."

"Two bowls," Sha Zhu said proudly, raised his right hand, raised his index finger and middle finger, and swayed in the air.

Xu Qing asked Xu Hong to go to the kitchen to get a wine cup, then turned to Shazhu and said:
"Brother Silly Zhu, let's have a drink together. My third brother has become the section chief. Let's have fun together."

Silly Zhu did not refuse, stood up, sat between Xu Qing and Xu Fengming, took out his cigarettes, and gave Xu Qing and Fengming one each.

Silly Zhu's relationship with Xu Qing's family has always been very good, and if they don't show up to others, they will naturally be less polite.

There has been a lot of eating and drinking at Xu Qing's house these years.

Of course, there is also no shortage of hands-on cooking.

In fact, Sha Zhu and everyone in the compound did not see anyone.

After He Daqing left him and Yu Yu, the two brothers and sisters, Shazhu developed a thick skin.

I have eaten from everyone in the courtyard. Yan Bugui in the front courtyard must be stingy. A few years ago, when life was poor, he still ate many meals with rainwater.

After eating, he wiped his mouth and took the rain to thank the third master and the third mother, which made Yan Bugui's family lose their temper.

Jinghong brought the wine cup from the kitchen and placed it in front of Sha Zhu. Xu Qing just picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Sha Zhu. Then he glanced at the door of the house from the corner of his eye and saw Xu Damao coming to the door with a bottle of Erqu in his arms. .
