Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 446 The Resurrection of Old Love?

When the third eldest mother gave birth to her eldest son, she was just in her prime. In a blink of an eye, there were more than 30 people in Chengdu. As a mother, she became a lot more emotional as she got older and became a grandmother.

She has watched the snow in the compound for more than 30 years, but no year has made her as sad as this year.

And of course she was not sad because of the snow.

But just looking at the snow falling from the gloomy sky makes me feel uncomfortable.

Yu Li divided two of the five cold medicines wrapped in newspapers at home and gave them to her mother-in-law.

The third aunt looked at the eldest daughter-in-law, without saying a word, she held it in her hand, turned around and entered the house.

Yan Bugui was still lying on the kang, breathing like a bellows. Yu Li stood at the door of the house and listened. When she was about to step in, she immediately retracted her feet, with a look of horror on her face and a trace of disgust in her heart. , stood outside the door and shouted.

"Dad, I just gave the cold medicine to my mother. You take it first while I go to work."

After Yu Li finished speaking, she stretched the scarf around her neck with her gloved right hand, covered her mouth and nose, turned around and hurried out of the courtyard.

The two cold medicines she took from home were not bought with her settlement money, but were prescribed by the doctor when Yan Bugui took her granddaughter to see a doctor.

Yanbu also paid for the medicine.

Yu Li is a diligent and filial person.

But asking her to take some practical action by giving what she paid for to her parents-in-law would be even harder than reaching the sky.

As soon as Yu Li left, there was no one in the front yard.

Aunt Feng went from the backyard to the main entrance of the compound and took the milk from the milkman. When she returned to the backyard, she remembered what she had heard last night. She slowed down in the front yard, holding the milk in her hands and glanced towards the door of Yanbu's noble house. , sighing softly, feeling deeply sympathetic to what happened to the noble couple in Yanbu.

Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Aiguo were going to work from the central courtyard and the backyard. When they passed by the front courtyard, they heard Yan Bugui coughing and sighing.

Silly Zhu winked at Xu Aiguo with his mouth open, indicating that the third uncle was very angry yesterday.

Xu Aiguo nodded and said yes without opening his mouth.

Who can not know?

What happened to Yan Jiecheng and his three brothers last night was not easy for anyone.

Liu Haizhong is the person who best understands Yan Bugui's mood.

He also has three sons, whose level of filial piety is even greater than that of the three boys from the Yanbu Gui family.

For more than half a year, I didn’t see any bangs.

Especially after Liu Guangfu and his wife moved out of the compound secretly.

The old couple Liu Haizhong and the second aunt have almost become lonely old people.

The only good thing is that although the sons are not visible in the bangs.

But he and his second aunt don't have to worry about their savings for a while.

The snow was getting a little heavier now, and Liu Haizhong walked from the backyard to the front yard, with a thin layer of cotton-padded jacket piled on top.

No one spoke in the alley, and no one mentioned anything about the third uncle's family.

Silly Zhu wanted to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, the cold wind rushing in along the entrance of the alley carried a few snowflakes and fell into his mouth. He was so shocked that he subconsciously started to spit on the ground.

After realizing it was snowflakes, he pushed the bicycle and complained.

When Si Zhu wanted to say something again, everyone had already reached the entrance of the alley.

Silly Zhu swallowed the words on his lips in the cold wind.

Xu Aiguo is going to the fifth factory, and Ai Qian is going to her own unit.

Xu Damao took Bangge to the Red Star Cinema on his bicycle. He wanted to take advantage of Monday to order some mao, then go home and go to bed, but ignored Silly Zhu.

The two sisters Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu were talking to each other in the alley.

Silly Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai, who shook his head and told him not to say anything.

The two of them lived in the middle courtyard. Silly Zhu would go to Yi Zhonghai's house to visit if he had nothing to do.

Yi Zhonghai knew what Silly Zhu wanted to say at a glance.

Liu Haizhong pushed the bicycle, secretly glad that what happened last night did not happen to him.

Didn't pay any attention to Silly Pillar.

Silly Zhu could only keep his words in his stomach, and he also kept his grievances against the third uncle as the unfilial piety of the three brothers.

After Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru finished their private words, Liu Haizhong was carried on a bicycle and slowly headed towards the Third Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

Silly Zhu used the bicycle he had just bought to carry the uncle along with Liu Haizhong as they went to work in the factory.

And at the same time.

Xu Qing, his sister Xiaoya, Er Mazi, San Huzi's wife, Meijuan, the five of them are already busy at the grain station.

Although it snowed early in the morning, it did not prevent retired grandparents from getting up early to buy vegetables and sell grain.

Er Mazi didn't get a good rest when he went home last night. He was tired all day long, and Chen Xiaojuan made love to him again in the evening.

I had dark circles under my eyes early in the morning, listless, and yawned again and again.

As soon as he finished his morning business, Er Mazi lay on the table in front of the stove and fell asleep.

Xu Qing held a lottery for the grain station yesterday, and Er Mazi and the others were indeed exhausted.

No one came into the store to buy food anymore, so Xu Qing asked his sister Xiaoya, Sanhuzi's wife, and Meijuan to have a rest as well.

But Sanhuzi’s wife, who had been working in the countryside since she was a child, was a hard-working person and couldn’t rest at all. She shook the dustpan from side to side by herself, sifting out the debris in the millet, and said with a smile:
"Shopkeeper, I was busy yesterday, but not tiring. When I was in the countryside, I followed my father to the fields before dawn in the morning. The commune had heavy tasks. I was busy from morning to night all day long. It was so dark that I couldn't see I didn't go home until I got sick, and I had to get up early to continue working the next morning.

What happened yesterday? You, Jinghong, Xiaoya, and Meijuan, just rest and don't worry about me. "

After Sanhuzi's wife finished speaking, she buried her head and continued to shake the dustpan in her hand.

When Xu Qing heard this, he smiled and secretly felt that hiring San Huzi's wife was the right thing to do.

It's hard to find such a diligent person even with a lantern.

If you don’t show your heart when doing things, you are still simple.

Can't fault it at all.

Compared with the salespersons in department stores or state-owned stores who are holding on to their iron rice bowls, a Sanhuzi daughter-in-law can be worth two.

That is to say, they are not as good-looking as those female salespersons who serve as iron rice bowls, but this cannot cover up the shining points of Sanhuzi's wife.

Meijuan heard Xu Qing's words and wanted to take a rest, but she couldn't bear to see her sister-in-law working alone.

Although she lives in the outskirts of Sijiu City, due to her composition, she has been looked down upon since she was a child, and she has to do a lot of hard work.

Her father died early, so she and her eldest brother Sanhuzi depended on each other with their mother.

She worked very quickly, and her sister-in-law didn't take a break, so she continued to work along with her.

Xu Qing had no choice but to let them go.

After a busy morning, there was no one in sight.

At noon, several people came to buy food one after another, but there were no more than two hands.

This was expected by Xu Qing.

On a snowy day, no one wants to go out, and there aren’t many people on the streets.

It’s still Monday, so it’s weird to see anyone.

Yesterday business was booming, but today there are no people around.Xu Qing was not disappointed at all.

That's how business is, there are good times and bad times.

In addition, these days, even though it has been opened, most people have no feelings about it and still choose to work in the factory.

Only people with a lofty vision can either jump into the wave of reform and start doing business early, or they can maintain a wait-and-see mentality and see how the current situation develops before slowly making plans.

Also, in the past, those who, due to their family status, had no factories or units to accept them, and could not find jobs, had to speculate secretly to make a living. Taking advantage of the fact that the country was no longer cracking down, they put their small businesses in the open.

Within the scope allowed by the state, we started to do business.

Xu Qing did not belong to the latter group. He voluntarily gave up his position as the top leader of the Fifth Factory and chose to go to sea to make a living on his own.

Being a factory director is good, but Xu Qing has no plans to pursue an official career.

He gave up his seat to his second brother, Patriot.

And this was what he expected.

During the time when Xu Qing proposed to resign, Aiguo had already established a firm foothold in the factory and was highly regarded by the factory's leaders.

On the one hand, after graduating from Patriotic University, he was assigned by the state to work in the main factory. He was old and capable, and was among the best among his group of college students.

On the other hand, Patriot has his eldest brother Xu Qing as the director of the fifth factory, and the main factory intends to focus on cultivating him.

Therefore, not long after Xu Qing proposed to resign, Xu Aiguo was called to a meeting and appointed to succeed his eldest brother and take the top position in the fifth factory.

This is the last step that Xu Qing, as the eldest brother, paved for his second brother.

In the future development, Xu Qing would not be able to help, and could only rely on patriotism to struggle on his official career.

However, judging from the current situation, Xu Qing feels that the second brother has been managing the fifth factory for nearly a year.

Still doing pretty well!
The efficiency of the fifth factory has not declined, and it is making progress while maintaining stability. It is still slightly better than the third factory.

Xu Qing stood outside the grain station, looking at the hurried passers-by on the street, feeling quite pleased for his second brother.

Sure enough, among the three brothers, Patriot is the most suitable for pursuing an official career.

Especially if Patriot married Ai Qian, his father-in-law had a high status, and it would not be difficult for him to rise smoothly in his career in the future.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief, looking at the still gloomy sky and the still flying snowflakes, his heart felt indescribably bright.

The second brother managed the fifth factory of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill in an orderly manner.

The third brother, Feng Ming, was even prospering in the hardware factory with his own brains.

Not only did he become the director, but he was still in the factory and became the most prestigious person next to the old factory director.

Xu Qing heard Feng Ming say last night that there were some things that the deputy directors couldn't decide on, so they had to go to him.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing is very happy.

It is a good thing for the family that the third brother can achieve such an achievement.

This just proves that the third brother is promising!
As for his sister Xiaoya, Xu Qing turned his head and glanced into the grain station. She was right next to his eldest brother, so there was no need to worry about her and Jianjun getting along well.

It snowed all day long, not heavy but not stopping.

When Xu Qing closed the grain station at night, it was still floating.

Er Mazi and Xiaoya are gone.

Xu Qing locked the door of the grain station and said to Jing Hong: "Daughter-in-law, Sister Wang has been doing a good job at our grain station for nearly a year. How about we give Sister Wang a little more salary as a bonus at the end of the year? What do you think?" "

Ma Jinghong stood aside and pushed the bicycle:

"Brother Qing, you have the final say."

Xu Qing smiled helplessly. Seeing that his wife said this, she agreed. He turned around and put the key in his trouser pocket, then took out the key to the motorcycle, started the motorcycle, and rode home slowly with Jinghong.

It's snowing today, so Xu Qing doesn't dare to ride too fast.

One is that after it snows, it is easy to get slippery while riding a motorcycle.

Secondly, it was impossible for him to leave his wife riding a bicycle and go home alone.

Back then, he was an apprentice who had just started working in the factory and had not even become a full-time employee. He supported his younger brothers and sisters to live alone.

Ma Jinghong didn't dislike it and waited until his younger siblings had finished high school before getting married without any regrets.

That's what makes sense.

How could Xu Qing not remember the goodness of his wife?

And this is why, in the past few years, Xu Qing was either studying in college or working as the director of the fifth factory.

The biggest reason why he is never moved by some beautiful women who make secret glances at him.

But having said that, Ma Jinghong's beauty is not comparable to that of ordinary women.

After all, Ma Jinghong was once a pillar in the art troupe.

Can stand out among a group of good-looking girls.

No matter how beautiful a woman is, nothing can compare to my own wife.

Why should Xu Qing be tempted?

Furthermore, those women are no matter how graceful and elegant they are.

Ma Jinghong looks equally good without makeup.

With such an outstanding wife, what else could Xu Qing be dissatisfied with.

While pushing the motorcycle, Xu Qing glanced sideways at his wife next to him, whose hair had a little snowflakes on it. The more he looked at her, the more beautiful she felt.

The street was deserted and quiet, with few people. The light from the street lamps was no longer as bright as before and looked a little dim under the dark night sky.

Ma Jinghong snorted at Xu Qing, "Look at you, what are you looking at? You are not the Chen Xiufang you met in college, and the old relationship has rekindled, why are you looking at me?!"

Xu Qing was about to cry but had no tears. He had just finished busy with activities at the grain station, and his wife actually mentioned Chen Xiufang again, and he felt helpless.

"Jinghong, there's something about the old relationship rekindling and disappearing.

Listen to me, Comrade Chen Xiufang and I really have nothing to do with each other except our friendship as classmates. Moreover, I haven’t seen her or contacted her for several years. "

"What's wrong? You've wanted to contact her for a long time, right? Is it me who's bothering you?"

Ma Jinghong twisted her face, rolled her eyes at Xu Qing, pedaled hard twice, and went forward alone.

Xu Qing hurriedly put his right foot on the second gear of the motorcycle and hurriedly chased his wife Jinghong.

There was an awkward situation at night, and Xu Qing felt nothing but bitterness.

After a lot of coaxing, I finally managed to get my wife to stop being angry.

Unexpectedly, Xu Qing had just returned to his home in the compound, and before he and Jing Hong had washed their hands and had dinner, he heard his patriotic daughter-in-law say:

"Brother, there was a call in your room just now. Aiguo answered it, saying that a classmate of yours from college is looking for you and wants to ask you to have a meal at Donglaishun tomorrow noon."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment, "Ai Qian, did Ai Guo say the other person's name?"

Liu Aiqian held her son Hongfu in her arms, sat on the edge of the kang, and thought:
"Aiguo seems to have said something, his surname is Chen or something, his name should be Xiufang. He said the other person's voice sounds like a woman."

Before Liu Aiqian finished speaking, Ma Jinghong took off her scarf and threw it to Xu Qing. Her expression changed suddenly, and she looked at her man coldly.

"Comrade Xu Qing, you are so popular!"
