Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 456: Brother, I care about people.
Yan Jiecheng went to give Yu Li water to wash her feet in disgrace.

I felt annoyed, but I had no words to defend myself.

His two younger brothers, whether they were Jiefang or Jie Kuang, indeed never respected him as the eldest brother.

at this point.

Yan Jiecheng really had nothing to say.

Sometimes when the three brothers meet on the street, they don't even say hello to each other.

They walked away separately, pretending not to know each other.

Brothers get along like this.

What can Yan Jiecheng say?

Even his younger sister Yan Jiedi has almost lost contact with his eldest brother since she got married.

Four brothers and sisters, four hearts.

Yan Jiecheng picked up the thermos and mixed hot water into the cold water in the footbath. He felt angry in addition to being angry.

His three younger siblings didn't take him seriously.

My daughter-in-law Yu Li dislikes her in various ways.

Yan Jiecheng was extremely depressed.

He wondered why good things in the world never happened to him.

Silly Zhu is a cook who is very lucky. He went to university with Xu Qing for a few years, then suddenly changed his identity and got a job in the factory.

Why is it that since I am a high school graduate and have been working in the factory for a long time, the factory still doesn't want to let him get promoted.

Damn God, could he be blind?
Yan Jiecheng held the footbath, cursing in his mind, and placed it at Yu Li's feet. Then he turned and walked to the door of the house, pushed open the door, lifted the curtain, and looked at the dark night sky outside the house, feeling indignant in his heart.

It’s just that I can’t compare to Xu Qing.

Silly Zhu, who was so stupid, was now a head taller than him.

Yan Jiecheng took out the economical cigarette he had on him, took out the gasoline lighter he had won playing cards with someone, held the cigarette in his mouth, lit it, and took a long sip.

Thinking about it, I always feel that my fate is really too much.

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao were not as good as him in school since childhood, but now they each have the title of cadre.

He is the only one among his peers living in the compound who still has a worker status.

Of course, Xu Qing does not have a cadre title now.

But Yan Jiecheng knew clearly that Xu Qing did not want to stay in the factory and resigned on his own initiative to go into business.

In terms of nature, it is different from him.

Xu Qing worked as a clerk, then as a section chief, and finally joined the workers, peasants, and soldiers in college. When he came back, he was directly promoted to the fifth factory by the main factory to become the top leader.

And he, until now, has not even become a clerk.

During those years of working as a substitute, I didn’t catch up.

During the changing times, I didn't take advantage of the chaos to get an official position.

Over the years, he has been denied promotion quotas in the factory every year.

Yan Jiecheng really couldn't figure out who he had offended.

Why do all good things go around him?

However, Yan Jiecheng didn't even think about it, was he out of luck?
It's just that he didn't live up to his expectations.

Yan Bugui asked him to repeat his senior year of high school, not because he hoped that he could directly enter the university.

If he had not repeated his studies, gone to work in a factory, and seized the opportunity of doing work instead of doing work, he would have successfully become a cadre.

But that's essentially a lot different than getting promoted after graduating from college.

In high school culture, according to the work-for-job standard, at best, every technical secondary school student will be directly promoted to a full-time job.

He can only enjoy the treatment of a seventh-level clerk, with a monthly salary of only 37 yuan.

When college students graduate, they start working as Level [-] clerks.

Not to mention the level is directly two levels higher, and the salary is still 49 yuan.

You can earn 12 yuan more every month.

Yan Bugui is a prudent person, even if he and Yan Jiefang are stingy about their food and clothing.

But when it comes to studying, I have never been stingy.

They are all willing to pay for Yan Jiecheng to repeat his studies for another year, even if it is for the purpose of raising his children in the future.

But after all, it is good for them.

However, he himself failed to live up to expectations.

I haven't passed the exam yet, and I don't even have Yu Yu's grades that year.

Later, during the changing times, Yan Bugui repeatedly paved the way for him to go to university as a worker, peasant, and soldier a few years ago.

At what point did he listen?
Either I can't bear to leave my wife and children, or I just can't save my face. I feel like I'm already married, and I have a job anyway, so why go to university to join in the fun?

Later, when Xu Qing went to college, Yan Jiecheng was tempted, and Yan Bugui planned to make arrangements.

However, Yu Li refused to let him go.

Until now, Yan Jiecheng is still an ordinary worker in the No. [-] Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

Blame it?

It's his own fault.

It’s not that there is no chance, it’s that a great opportunity was given to him, but he couldn’t seize it.

After smoking a cigarette, Yan Jiecheng looked at the room where his parents had not turned off the lights, and couldn't help but blame him bitterly.

It was determined that Yanbu Guifei had caused him to study for an extra year in his senior year of high school.

Otherwise, he would have done it long ago.

Just when he thought this, in the room behind him, Yu Li shouted at the top of her lungs:

"Yan Jiecheng, you died outside. It's not too cold to smoke. I'll freeze you to death outside. Why don't you come back quickly and take out the foot-washing water and throw it away!"

When Yan Jiecheng heard Yu Li's shouting, he turned around and went back to the house, glaring hard at his parents' house again.

However, he still didn't ask himself, wasn't he the one who caused this ending?
Whether it was his failure to mention it or his relationship with his younger siblings.

It's all because he, the eldest brother, failed to take the lead.

If only he could be like Xu Qing and set a good example for his younger brothers and sisters.

Not only had the situation between him and Yu Li changed drastically, but the relationship between the four siblings would not have reached the level it is now.

However, Yan Jiecheng is stubborn and his ears are soft.

I listen to my wife in everything.

He did whatever Yu Li asked him to do.

Shrewd and thoughtful, he is much better than the fools on the street.

But she has no future, she doesn't listen to what her parents say, for fear of being plotted against her, so she just listens to Yu Li.

It is doomed that the mud will not stick to the wall for a lifetime.

The night was quiet without any sound, and it was deeper than before.

When Xu Qing, Aiguo and his third brothers Fengming and Xiujuan, as well as their sister Xiaoya and brother-in-law Jianjun walked from the backyard to the middle courtyard after eating.

Jia Zhang, who had just been lying down in the Jia family room, heard the noise, sat up in the dark, leaned against the window, looked into the courtyard through the glass, put down the curtains, and lay down on the kang again, with pillows on her head, facing Qin Huairu whispered:
"Huairu, you didn't go to Xu Qing's house in the backyard tonight, and you didn't even see it. The radar watch Xu Qing bought is so beautiful. My eyes widened when I saw it. I held it in my hand without even thinking about it. Let go. At some point, our family will also buy him a piece."

After hearing this, Qin Huairu lay flat on the bed, looked at the dark roof, and sighed.

"Mom, do you know how expensive that radar watch is? How can our family afford it? Even if I work exhaustingly in the factory for a year without spending a penny of salary, it won't be enough." Qin Huairu finished speaking, After a pause, "Banggeng likes it. He will save his own money in the future and let him buy it by himself. We don't have to worry about it."

Mrs. Jia Zhang had regarded her grandson Banggian as a precious child since she was a child. When she heard Qin Huairu's words, she immediately said anxiously:
"Are you a mother like you? If your son doesn't care about you, even if Bangge can find a partner, you won't ask him about it, and I, as a grandma, will have to go around all day long to find someone!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was suffocating in her heart. After speaking, she turned around, turned her back to Qin Huairu, and faced the window. She made up her mind that the mother would not care, and she would be the grandmother.

As long as Banggeng likes it, she will find a way to get it!
Qin Huairu stopped talking to her mother-in-law and stared at the dark roof, with many thoughts in her heart.

It's not that she doesn't want to buy a radar watch for her son.

But I know that given the conditions at home, it would be good to be able to save money and buy Bangge a bicycle next year.

You can't buy something as expensive as a radar watch just for the sake of buying it. Let's go back to the days of tightening our belts more than ten years ago.

She didn't go to Xu Qing's house at night to look at the radar meter.

But it’s not like there are no photos in the newspaper.

They are also displayed in the Friendship Store.

It's just that radar watches have just emerged in China, and most people with money can't buy them. They have to rely on connections to get them from other places.

Xu Qing's family has connections and money, so naturally he can buy whatever he wants.

What about at home?
None of the relatives who have the ability are.

Those who have no ability will not move around for many years.

Bangge's ability to jump back in line depends on Xu Qing in the courtyard.

The favors owed have not yet been repaid.

She couldn't lose her temper anymore and asked Qingzi for help.

No matter how kind and righteous Xu Qing is, he must be able to afford the radar watch.

As Qin Huairu thought about it, she couldn't help but secretly hate her dead husband, Jia Dongxu.

I want to ask him how he could bear to let her bear all this alone.

Tears flowed out of her eyes unknowingly. Qin Huairu turned around and turned sideways, not daring to wipe them with her hands. She was afraid that Mrs. Jia Zhang would hear the noise and chatter to her again, so she let them flow along her cheeks. On the pillow cover.

The Shazhu and Yi Zhonghai families in the middle courtyard didn't sleep either.

They were envious of Xu Qing's radar watch, but they couldn't talk about jealousy.

Yi Zhonghai and his wife saw the radar watch today.

Thinking that the situation of Xu Qing's family is getting better and better.

I secretly regretted why I didn't help the four Xu Qing brothers and sisters back then.

Otherwise, with Xu Qing's current life, there would be no need for the two of them to worry about having no one to take care of them in their old age.

However, it's too late to say anything now.

Silly Zhu really likes that radar watch and really thinks it is good, but he is not the kind of person who follows the fashion.

Not a strong desire.

He cooked for the big boss in the factory a few years ago and never saw anything good.

At that time, although there were no radar watches in China.

But the gramophone in the big leader's house was a rare thing, so he moved it home.

At this moment, I was listening quietly in the room alone, lying on the kang, with my hands folded behind my head, leaning against the quilt, crossing my legs, and thinking:

"Qingzi is getting better and better. This year I bought two big items, a motorcycle and a radar watch. Hey, they're really good!"

Silly Zhu was talking to himself. He raised his hand and picked up a peanut from the small plate beside him and threw it into his mouth. He chewed it while grinning.

I thought about it, and asked Xu Qing to borrow the radar watch and motorcycle next time I went on a blind date.

As for Xu Aiguo's promise to lend him his leather jacket last night, Silly Zhu couldn't let it go.

I can’t believe it. What woman can’t be tempted by him after seeing those three things!

At this time, the entrance to the alley outside the main entrance of the compound.

After Xu Qing and his second brother Ai Guo sent Feng Ming and Xiao Ya away, they turned around and hurried back to the compound.

It's December, and the temperature can drop below freezing at night.

It's freezing cold and it's not comfortable at all at night.

Xu Qinghe Aiguo had just returned to the backyard from the central courtyard. Xu Damao heard the noise and came out of the house, wrapped in a military coat, and shouted:

"Qingzi, wait a minute, brother, I have something to discuss with you."

Seeing that Xu Damao had something to do with his elder brother, Xu Aiguo went back to his house first.

Xu Qing stood in the courtyard, took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Damao:

"What's the matter, Brother Da Mao?"

Xu Damao wrapped his heavy military coat around his body with his left hand, and took the cigarette from Xu Qing with his right hand. Even though it was night, he still cautiously looked around the courtyard before saying cautiously:
"Qingzi, brother, I recently got a batch of military coats that were handled by the troops. They are [-]% new. There are usually many people in your food depot. Please help me keep an eye on them and see if anyone wants them."

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he sneezed, shrunk and said again:

"Originally, my brother came to your room last night and wanted to tell you about this, but because of that boy Silly Zhu's interference, he couldn't."

Xu Qing was smoking and thinking about Xu Damao's words.

Seeing this, Xu Damao touched Xu Qing with his elbow and whispered:
"There are more than 300 pieces in total. Brother, I made it together with a few people. When the time comes, the money you sell from the grain depot and the capital will be thrown away, and the rest will be half for each of us. The quality is exactly the same as the one I am wearing, and there is no trace of it." question!"

Seeing that Xu Damao was cold and cold, Xu Qing frowned and asked:
"Brother Damao, are you sure the quality of the military coats you have is all right?"

Xu Damao and Xu Qing stared at him and said hurriedly:

"Hey, I caught a cold because of that stinky bitch Qin Jingru who messed around with me this morning. In the morning, when I was clearing snow with the people in our courtyard, I took off my military coat and didn't wear it."

Xu Qing said oh and then asked:

"Brother Damao, how much do you plan to sell one piece for?"

Xu Damao sneezed three times in succession, took out his handkerchief, blew his nose, and said:
"It's cheap, 25 yuan a piece. It's almost the New Year. If I clear it out twice, we can all have a good New Year."

Seeing Xu Damao say this, Xu Qing nodded, smoked a cigarette, thought about it, and said:

"Brother Damao, is there any problem with the way things are going? Don't cause trouble then."

Xu Damao patted his chest and promised:
"Qingzi, brother, are you still worried about me doing something?"

Xu Qing thought: "Don't worry about it."

But he didn't say this.

Xu Damao stamped his feet, took a puff of cigarette, glanced around, and lowered his voice:
"Qingzi, to tell you the truth, the three hundred military coats, my brother, the people I partnered with have all paid for them, so you can help me sell them.

Brother, I am very particular about people. Your share of money will definitely be worth every penny! "

Xu Qing thought about it carefully and saw that Xu Damao had said this, so there should be no problem.

Then I thought about the fact that I have the ability to split one part into two. The military coat can be divided with my ability. When the time comes, I can sell it and get another income, so I said:

"That's it, Brother Damao. Early tomorrow morning, take ten of them and send them to my grain station. I'll try them."

Xu Damao was delighted when he heard this and grinned:

"Qingzi, brother, I know that this can be done with you. Tomorrow morning, I will go to the cinema to order my hair, and then I will pick up the military coat and send it to you at the food station."

Xu Qing nodded again, and after standing in the courtyard with Xu Damao for a few more pleasantries, he hurried back to the house to warm up.

Turn around early in the morning.

Xu Qing rode a motorcycle to the grain station, and he, Er Mazi, his sister Xiaoya, and San Huzi's wife, Meijuan, had just finished their morning business.

Xu Damao rode his bicycle, carrying ten military coats, and stopped at the entrance of the grain station.
