Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 450 This is what a man should be like!
Silly Zhu chewed his teeth and said: "It depends on the situation then. I don't know if it will happen tomorrow. My brother and I have been on blind dates for so many years. I am still alone."

I don't have much hope for tomorrow. If Lou Xiao'e comes back and I'm not married yet, and she still wants to be nice to me, then I have no objection. "

Xu Qing hummed, took a puff of cigarette, and nodded.

Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything right, so Sha Zhu really couldn't wait in vain.

Human nature!

The night was as dark as ink, and the wind was bitingly cold.

After Ma Jinghong left, only Xu Qing and Shazhu were left in the middle courtyard.

It has been snowing continuously for the past two or three days, and there are a lot of snow piles in the yard. The lights in the Jia family's house and the first man's house are all on.The dim yellow light illuminated the courtyard a little, but it did not penetrate the curtains and reflected on the snow.

After Yi Zhonghai finished the dinner cooked by his aunt, he was lying in the room to rest. Suddenly he remembered that Sha Zhu was going on a blind date tomorrow, so he put on his cotton-padded jacket and prepared to sit in Sha Zhu's house.

But as soon as he stretched out his hand to lift the heavy door curtain, he saw Sha Zhu chatting with Xu Qing in the courtyard, so he put down the hand holding the door curtain again.

No one came out of Jia's house. Qin Huairu felt indescribably uncomfortable since she knew that Silly Zhu was going to go on a blind date again.

But she has nothing to do with Silly Pillar.

The only ones are the neighbors who live in the same compound.

Whether Silhu is on a blind date or not, she can't control it, and she has no right to.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was sitting on the kang, wearing reading glasses and helping her grandson put the insoles of sticks in his shoes. Hearing the voices of Silly Zhu and Xu Qing in the courtyard, he leaned towards the window sill, pushed back the curtains with his hands, and secretly walked towards the courtyard. He glanced at it, then quickly put it down, turned to look at Qin Huairu, and whispered:

"Huai Ru, Silly Zhu is talking to Xu Qing in the courtyard, why don't you go out and take a look?"

Qin Huairu didn't respond. Jia Zhang lowered her raised eyelids and stared at the needle and thread in her hand without saying a word.

She also heard about Sha Zhu’s blind date.

After all, there are only so many people in the compound, so nothing can be hidden.

Even if it can be concealed for a while, it will not be known to the whole hospital in the end.

Silly Zhu went on a blind date, and Jia Zhang didn't have any objections.

Anyway, it’s better that Silly Zhu doesn’t have any ideas about his daughter-in-law.

From the bottom of her heart, she didn't want Qin Huairu to be with Silly Zhu.

In the past, I was afraid that Qin Huairu would be embarrassed and humiliated in the courtyard if she married Silly Zhu.

There are many obstacles from it.

Later, Shazhu followed Xu Qing and graduated from university and got a job.

I have no idea about Qin Huairu.

On the contrary, Jia Zhang was not happy at all.

Because Silly Zhu’s life is getting better.

Silly Zhu bought a bicycle this year. Jia Zhang saw it and felt unspeakable jealousy in her heart.

Doesn’t she have one at home?

Silly Zhu was a bachelor, but he bought a car first.

How could Mrs. Jia Zhang feel at ease?

As for the motorcycle Xu Qing bought, Jia Zhang didn't even think about being jealous.

The motorcycle was so expensive, 750 yuan, it was useless even if she was jealous of it.

No more jealousy.

But when I think about it, the life of Xu Qing's family is getting better and better every year, and they have become the best in the compound.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sighed secretly, stopped her sewing, looked at her daughter-in-law Qin Huairu again, and couldn't help but think of her dead son.

Suddenly my heart ached like a knife. I took off my reading glasses, wiped my eyes with my hands and said:
"Well, if Dongxu hadn't died, our family's life would be no worse than that of Xu Qing's family in the backyard!"

Qin Huairu lowered her head and ignored her mother-in-law's old tune.

Jia Dongxu has been dead for many years, and Jia Zhang talks about it several times every year.

Qin Huairu would miss her together at first, and would take her children to worship during Qingming Festival and Hungry Ghost Festival.

But as the days passed, the years passed.

Qin Huairu's impression of Jia Dongxu gradually became blurred.

After Jia Dongxu left, she not only raised three children by herself, but also took care of Jia Zhang.

She is busy at work during the day and has to take care of the house when she comes home at night.

There was no time to think about her dead husband.

You may occasionally see it in your dreams in the middle of the night.

But how?

Jia Dongxu passed away leaving his three children behind.

Neither fulfilled the promise of a good life for her.

And he left all the stress of life to her.

This was not the result Qin Huairu expected.

This was not her original intention when she married Jia Dongxu.

She entered the city to enjoy happiness.

She wants to live a good life.

However, God played such a big joke on her.

Qin Huairu couldn't express the pain in her heart to anyone.

Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't understand her, but her two daughters, Xiaodang and Huaihua, were more sensible.

But they were both still young, not even married yet, so how could they understand the suffering in their mother's heart.

Qin Jingru, on the other hand, only focused on herself and rarely mentioned anything about her cousin.

Qin Huairu could only swallow all the suffering with tears in her stomach late at night.

Fortunately, she managed to raise all three children to adulthood.

Did what a mother should do.

The sadness in this can be seen on Qin Huairu's haggard face.

She is not yet 35, but she looks like she is in her early forties.

Standing next to people of the same age who look younger, I feel almost ten years older.

The black hair has turned gray, and the wrinkles on his face have also faded a lot.

But Qin Huairu finally got over it.

At this time, she heard her mother-in-law complaining and complaining.

Didn't say a word, didn't want to say a word.

Even if Jia Dongxu is alive, she doesn't know if he can compare to Xu Qing.

But Xu Qing's family would definitely not be able to catch up with them.

Xu Qing's two younger brothers, Aiguo, took over from his eldest brother and became the director of the fifth factory.

Feng Ming works in a hardware factory and is said to be doing a great job as a director.

Xu Qing opened a grain station and the business was booming.

There are three brothers, all of whom have achieved success in their careers.

And the relationship is still harmonious.

The third uncle and second uncle in the compound also have many sons.

Yan Jiecheng was also the eldest brother, and together with Liu Haizhong's eldest son, they were not even half as wealthy as Xu Qing's family.

Jia Dongxu is not dead, at least she doesn't have to work too hard.

As for the family situation, if you want to catch up with Xu Qing's family, I'm afraid it won't be possible in the next life.

Qin Huairu thought of this and turned to look out the window.

Although nothing could be seen through the curtains, Xu Qing and Sha Zhu could be heard talking vaguely in the courtyard.My emotions are indescribably mixed.

She is not as good as Jinghong. Jinghong is the happiest among the women who married Xu Qing in the compound.

Not to mention that I haven't suffered the slightest crime in these years.

Eat well, dress well, and have manly pain at night.

Before the National Day, Xu Xiaoya did not get married and stayed with her all the time.

If you want to talk to someone, you don't have to go to someone else's house.

As for her, five years ago, eating was still a problem.

How dare you expect to eat well? It would be nice to have stick noodles to fill your stomach every time.

In terms of clothing, all year round, almost all depends on the factory work clothes.

I don’t even have two decent clothes.

As for Jinghong, she had already ridden the lady's bicycle bought by Xu Qing. She changed into beautiful clothes in a month or two, and everyone in the courtyard was not envious of her.

Yu Li and Qin Jingru, their men are all here, what could be possible?

Incomparable is not comparable.

There was a lot of discussion behind Yu Li's back, but in the final analysis, she wasn't jealous.

But, who wouldn’t be jealous of the women in the compound?

What woman doesn’t like to dress nice and have her own bicycle.

Qin Huairu was jealous, but she knew that she was not as lucky as Jinghong in her life.

Putting his thoughts back, Qin Huairu looked at the light bulb hanging on the roof, with unspeakable mixed feelings in his heart.

And now.

Xu Qing and Silly Zhu also finished chatting in the middle courtyard, which was instantly deserted.

Shazhu trembled and ran back to his own room.

Xu Qingze pushed the motorcycle and headed back to the backyard.

Early in the morning.

When Xu Qing went out, he pushed his bicycle, which had not been moved for several days, towards the outside of the compound. The motorcycle was placed at the door of the house for Silly Zhu to use.

Xu Qing would never break his promise last night.

After passing the front yard, Xu Qing finally saw the third uncle.

After not seeing anyone for several days, Xu Qing stopped his bicycle and said hello.

"Third uncle, have you recovered from your cold?"

Yan Bugui was in a depressed mood. He sighed and turned back to the house.

Xu Qing shrugged his shoulders, knowing that Yan Bugui, the third uncle, was still suffering from the quarrel between the three Yan Jiecheng brothers a few days ago, so he pushed his bicycle and continued walking towards the alley outside the compound.

There was no one in the alley at the moment, and there was no sound at all.

Xu Qing was the first to come out of the courtyard. He crossed the beam and rode his bicycle slowly out toward the alley.

After turning onto the street, there were more people.

Pedestrians were coming and going on the street. Apprentices and young boys who had just gone to work were pedaling their bicycles very fast and passed by Xu Qing in the blink of an eye.

The vendors buying breakfast were shouting as usual in the early morning.

The prelude to a new day begins slowly like this.

After Xu Qing arrived at the grain station, he opened the door, lit the stove, boiled water, and fed the cat.

Then they waited for Er Mazi, San Huzi's wife, Meijuan, and sister Xiaoya to arrive, and they went about the morning business together.

But this morning, Xu Xiaoya came ahead of Er Mazi.

"Brother, my mother-in-law steamed the meat buns last night. Before I went out, I took four of them from the pot and brought them over. They are still hot. You can try them."

Xu Xiaoya parked her bicycle outside the grain station, and as soon as she stepped into the grain station, she smiled and said to her elder brother.

At the same time, he took off the bulging yellow satchel on his body, reached out and took out a big meat bun, and handed it to Xu Qing.

In the north, every household makes big meat buns.

One is almost as good as a basket of steamed dumplings from the South.

It's also bigger than the buns Goubuli bought.

Xu Qing reached out and took one, pinched it in his hand, and before biting it, the four cats that smelled the scent immediately scratched the trouser legs of Xu Qing and Xu Xiaoya, lying on the Xu Qing brothers and sisters, shouting that they wanted to eat too.

When Xu Xiaoya saw this, her pretty face smiled. She didn't even have time to take off the scarf, so she reached out and took out another one from her bag, broke it in half, put one half into her elder brother's hand, and held the other half in her own hand. She squatted on the ground and said Four cats.

At this time, Er Mazi walked in from outside, taking off the sheepskin hat on his head, and walked towards Xu Qing.

Seeing Xu Qing holding a whole meat bun in his left hand, he pinched half of it in his right hand.

Er Mazi chuckled, threw his hat on the counter, and without any politeness, reached out and took the half meat bun from Xu Qing's right hand, took a bite, and talked while chewing.

"Qingzi, Jinghong's cooking skills have improved a lot. These meat buns taste so delicious!"

Xu Qing rolled his eyes at Er Mazi angrily.

"My wife didn't make it, my sister brought it from her home."

Er Mazi didn't care at all, and grinned: "Oh, Xiaoya, you just married Jianjun, and it's only been half a year since we got married. Your cooking skills have improved a lot, and you will definitely be a good wife in the future!"

Er Mazi kept boasting and didn't ask if it was Xu Xiaoya who did it.

Xu Xiaoya squatted on the ground, her pretty face flushed, and she quickly raised her head to look at Er Mazi beside her and said:
"Brother Mazi, it wasn't me who did it, it was my mother-in-law."

Er Mazi was startled, but he didn't stop chewing the meat buns. After swallowing the meat buns and stuffing, he turned around and said:
"No wonder, I said these meat buns taste similar to those made by my mother."

After Er Mazi finished speaking, he sat next to Xu Qing, took a firm bite of the bun, and muttered:
"Xiaoya, when you go back tonight, help me say hello to your mother-in-law, and tell her that her steamed meat buns are as good as Goubuli's!"

Xu Xiaoya smiled and said hello.

After Jinghong sent Hongzhi to school, she came to the grain station.

Xu Xiaoya put the last meat bun on the stove to heat it up for her sister-in-law to eat.

Originally, the four meat buns she took were specially prepared for her elder brother and sister-in-law.

As a result, Xu Qing ate one piece, Er Mazi ate most of the piece, and the four cats ate a small piece.

When Sanhuzi's wife and Meijuan arrived, Xu Qing and Ermazi were eating meat buns.

Xu Xiaoya was too embarrassed not to let her taste it.

Then he took out another one from his yellow satchel and let them share it.

And the only one left was left to my sister-in-law Jinghong.

Ma Jinghong was indescribably moved when she saw her sister-in-law getting married and still thinking about her sister-in-law.

After the buns were hot, Jinghong broke them in half, ate half of them herself, and handed the other half to her sister-in-law.

"Xiaoya, you should eat some more. Sister-in-law, I had breakfast in the house before I went out to take Hongzhi to school in the morning."

Xu Xiaoya smiled and shook her head, "Sister-in-law, I also had breakfast this morning, please give it to my eldest brother."

Seeing that her sister-in-law refused to take it, Ma Jinghong had no choice but to turn around and hand it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing was looking through the millet with unclean hands. He opened his mouth and let Jinghong stuff it into his mouth.

Er Mazi was holding a cigarette in his mouth. When he saw this scene, he raised his eyebrows, leaned his back against the counter, and said:
"Sister Wang, Meijuan, take a look, we, the shopkeeper, are being fed even when we eat. Oh, this is incredible!"

Sanhuzi's wife rolled her eyes at Ermazi with disgust, "I mean Ermazi, if you don't look at it, the shopkeeper's hands are occupied, how can you take it with your hands? Really, if you are envious, go home at night and let your wife Feed you too."

Er Mazi said with a downcast face: "Sister Wang, don't mention it. You don't know what my wife is like at home. She is waiting for me to serve her all day long. How can she be someone who knows how to serve me?"

San Huzi's wife laughed, "Er Mazi, then you are envious."

"Hey, what else can we do?"

Er Mazi smoothed a handful of hair with his right hand, touched his neck back and forth, and stared at Xu Qing and Jing Hong. The more he looked at them, the more he felt that when he got home at night, he would have to talk about this to his daughter-in-law Xiaojuan.

Look at Qingzi, what a man!

This is what a man should be like!
Why can't I raise my head when I'm right in front of my house?
