Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 480 Everyone in the courtyard took the initiative to borrow money ([-])

"Xiao Qing."

Yi Zhonghai shouted softly under the dark night.

Xu Qing saw that it was the first man and Shazhu, and he responded:
"Master, Brother Silly Zhu, is there something wrong?"

Silly Zhu held his cigarette in his mouth, blinked twice, and said:
"Did Jinghong sleep? No, let's go into your room and talk."

Xu Qing shook his head and took Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu into the house.

In the room, Jinghong was urging her son to wash his feet quickly so that he could sleep well later. At the same time, he hugged his daughter and used needle and thread to mend the schoolbag that Xu Hongzhi had damaged in his mischief. When he saw the uncle and Silly Zhu coming, he hurriedly smiled and slapped her. He said hello, then put his daughter on the kang, let her play by herself, then turned to the kitchen to pour tea.

Yi Zhonghai sat on the edge of the kang, stretched out his hand to tease Xu Qiaoxin, took two puffs of cigarette, and in front of Silly Zhu, took out a wad of money from his body and placed it in front of Xu Qing.

Seeing this, Xu Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

"Master, what is this?"

Yi Zhonghai had white silk in his black hair and said slowly:

"In these years in the compound, there is nothing I can do to help you and Jinghong. Now you are running a meat factory. You can use this 1000 yuan and forget about the IOUs. Zhuzi is here, you and I Your aunt and I can trust Jinghong's character in the hospital."

Silly Zhu sat aside, finished smoking, threw the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with his foot, took out a handful of money from his body, and handed it to Xu Qing.

"Qingzi, my brother doesn't have much savings. I saved these 500 yuan slowly year by year. I originally planned to marry a wife. No, I haven't found the right one until now. You can keep it and use it first. What's the interest? Yes, I made a calculation with the first uncle and decided that I don’t want it. It’s not much. We all live in the same compound and know everything about it. We are not outsiders. What the third uncle said before is right. We should help each other in the compound. Waiting for you to get married. If the factory is running well and the profits are good, just give me and my uncle a few kilograms of pork!"

Silly Zhu finished speaking with a toothy smile, crossed his legs, took the teapot handed over by Jinghong, lowered his head and sipped it.

Xu Qing suddenly felt a little confused.He has been a little worried about money recently.

Building a meat factory drained all his savings.

I can immediately go to the countryside to collect grain, and also collect pigs.

They all need money, so there is no shortage of money.

That is to say, the grain station is always running, and there is income every month, so it is not really to the point of asking someone to borrow money.

But now, the first master and Shazhu have sent the money over. It would be too disrespectful to refuse it.

Xu Qing took out his cigarettes, gave them to Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu, and scattered one cigarette each, thinking:
"Master, Brother Silly Zhu, since you said so, then I thank you. But..."

Xu Qing paused and said: "As for the interest, it should be calculated. You can't use your money in vain."

Upon hearing this, Yi Zhonghai waved his hand directly and said:

"It's not much. It's nothing like interest. Your aunt and I are not Huang Shiren. If anything happens to us in the future, we might have to help you, Jinghong and Zhuzi. We are in the same courtyard, so no one needs the other."

Xu Qing instantly understood that the reason why Mr. Daqing didn't want interest was for this reason.

But before he spoke, Silly Zhu continued:

"That's right, Qingzi, what I said is right. If you want to raise interest, then won't the relationship between our neighbors be far away?"

"Jinghong, put the money away quickly."

Silly Zhu said to Ma Jinghong.

However, Jinghong didn't move. She could only listen to her man's words when it came to this kind of thing.

It's up to Xu Qing to decide whether to accept it or not.

She doesn't make decisions for her man.

"Brother Silly Zhu, I will listen to Brother Qing on this matter, you can discuss it!"

After Ma Jinghong finished speaking, she looked at her man.

Silly Zhu grinned, turned to Xu Qing and said:

"Hey, Qingzi, put it away quickly."

Xu Qing smiled bitterly in his heart. If Silly Zhu hadn't interfered, he would never have accepted the money from the uncle.

If you accept it, it will be a favor. If Yi Zhonghai really comes to visit him in the future, it will be useless if he doesn't help.

He doesn't care about Silly Zhu, after all, the relationship has been there for so many years.

Sha Zhu’s 500 yuan, Sha Zhu wants to calculate the interest, but he may not agree yet.

But now, Xu Qing can only accept all the money from Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu.

There was nothing I could do, why did Silly Zhufei come here with the uncle?

In the courtyard outside the house, the sound of insects was heard.

None of the people in the backyard had gone to bed at this time. It was only around ten o'clock in the evening, and it was hot and stuffy in the summer, making it difficult to fall asleep.

Xu Damao, who lived in the backyard together, saw Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu entering Xu Qing's house before him.

There was no rush to get there.

It was not until Xu Qing sent Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai out of the house, and another five minutes passed, that he walked into Xu Qing's house wearing half-sleeves and holding a cigarette.

"Qingzi, how much did Shazhu give you?"

As soon as Xu Damao entered the door, he opened his mouth and asked.

Xu Qing smiled, asked Xu Damao to sit down, and said:

"500 dollars."

"Where is the uncle?" Xu Damao took a puff of cigarette and asked Xu Qing again.

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing, while Xu Damao put his right hand on the table and also smiled.

"Forget it, brother, I won't ask any more. Everyone in our courtyard knows that the uncle is rich. I can't compare to him, but I can be better than Shazhu. Didn't he get five hundred for you? I'll lend it to you, brother. Seven hundred!”

While talking, Xu Damao reached out and took out 700 yuan, put it on the table, and smoked the flue;

"Qingzi, brother, I calculate the interest. I don't want more. Two cents, how about it?"

Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "Brother Damao, you'd better keep the money, I can't afford my brother!"

Xu Damao turned his head and glanced at Xu Hongzhi, who was wearing a white vest and lying on the kang getting ready to sleep. He turned back to Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, brother, I finally understand. You are two times ahead of me in business now. Isn't this a [-]% improvement?"

Xu Qing still waved his hand, Xu Damao frowned and said:
"Qingzi, brother, I can't lend you money in vain, can I?"

Xu Qing looked at Xu Damao with a half-smile and said:

"Brother Damao, in our relationship, you have the nerve to ask for interest from me, my brother? Brother Silly Zhu doesn't want even a penny of interest. You can figure it out, right?"

Xu Damao didn't believe it, his eyes widened, he turned around and glanced at Ma Jinghong, stretched out his hand and touched his neck and said:
"Qingzi, Silly Zhu is so stupid. What does he know? By the way, I didn't mention interest?"

Xu Qing hummed.

Xu Damao's heart thumped, feeling that he shouldn't have come behind Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu.

But now that he's here, the money is put in front of Xu Qing. When he takes it back, his face doesn't look good.

He felt bad that he borrowed it in vain. He planned to use the money to buy a motorcycle. He thought for a while and said:
"Hey, it's done. Neither the First Master nor Silly Zhu want interest, so I won't want my brother either. But if something good happens in the future, remember to think more about your brother."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "This is my brother Damao." Xu Damao felt bitter in his heart, he was not the one who suffered from boredom.

But today, this loss was caused by Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai, so he still had to suffer.

Feeling depressed, Xu Damao didn't stay in Xu Qing's room for long before leaving.

Xu Qing and Jinghong saw them out of the door, then closed the door and went to sleep.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui and his aunt were in the house, turning off the lights and talking quietly under the moonlight.

"The head of the house, Lao Yi and Silly Zhu, have gone to the backyard. I think they went there to give money to Xiao Qing."

Yan Bugui was lying on the kang, shaking his cattail leaf fan and saying:
"You still have to think about it, that's for sure. Lao Yi has money in his hand, and Silly Zhu is still a bachelor. If the two of them go to the backyard, what else can they do besides lending money to Xiao Qing."

San Daan turned sideways, pushed Yan Bugui and said:

"Master, tell me, should we also lend some to Xiao Qing?"

Yan Bugui stopped holding the cattail leaf fan in his hand and looked alert. He looked out the window and took a look into the courtyard. He saw that the house where Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng lived had the lights on. He lowered his voice and whispered:

"Keep your voice down, don't let your son and daughter-in-law hear you."

The third aunt hurriedly whispered: "I know, I didn't say it loudly, why are you nervous, but you can tell me, will our family lend money to Xiaoqing?"

Yan Bugui sat up, thought for a while and said:
"Borrow it. Lao Yi lent it to us. How could we not lend it to our family? Xiaoqing has already set up a meat factory before I know it. If he makes the factory prosperous in the future, I will work for him as soon as I retire." go!"

The third aunt covered her mouth and said with a smile: "Head of the family, it's you who think far ahead!"

Yan Bugui snorted, shook his cattail leaf fan and said:
"Then, do you think that I, the third uncle, am working in the courtyard for free?"

The third aunt hummed in a low voice and said hurriedly;

"Then how much can our family borrow? Don't let your son and daughter-in-law know about it."

Yan Bugui used a fan to drive away mosquitoes while thinking:

"Just borrow one thousand. Xiaoqing said he wanted five thousand, and Lao Yibao will definitely lend one thousand. Our family can't borrow less than him, and we won't have any more. Anyway, Xiaoqing has made a fortune, and the grain station is doing a prosperous business, so don't be afraid. Not yet.

I'll call Xiaoqing to our house early tomorrow morning to write a note. "

After hearing this, the third aunt nodded and said hello.

Turn around early in the morning.

Yan Bugui got up early and stood in the front yard, wiping his bicycle with a rag while waiting for Xu Qing and Jing Hong to come over.

However, after waiting around, I saw Jinghong coming to the front yard alone, and she hurriedly asked:

"Jinghong, why didn't Xiaoqing go out with you today?"

Ma Jinghong pushed her motorcycle and stopped in the front yard and said:
"Third uncle, my brother Qing has been busy building a meat factory some time ago. The factory was finally built the day before yesterday. I will sleep more at home today. He will send my son Hongzhi to school later.

Upon hearing this, Yan Bugui said oh, put the rag on the bicycle, turned around and went back to the house, where he sat and waited.

Around 06:30, the sky became completely bright and the red sun could be seen in the eastern sky.

Yan Bugui shouted to his son Yan Jiecheng to ask his granddaughter Niuniu to come out quickly, while pushing the bicycle and twisting his head to look towards the middle courtyard.

Since Xu Qing wanted to send Hongzhi to school, he would wait until he and Xu Qing arrived at school later before talking about borrowing money.

Yan Jiecheng was shirtless and wearing a bright red vest. He opened the door and took his daughter out. After handing her over to her father, she yawned and said:
"Dad, why are you shouting so early? You are a teacher. Even if my daughter is late, it doesn't matter."

Yan Bugui looked at his son angrily and said:

"It's already 06:30. Can you and your wife work harder all day? Jinghong has already gone out to the grain station."

Yan Jiecheng rubbed his messy hair with a nonchalant look on his face. He didn't take his father Yan Bugui's words to heart at all. He yawned again and turned around to go back to the house.

Yan Bu was so noble that he could only sigh. Fortunately, when he turned around, he saw Xu Qing pushing a bicycle and bringing Xu Hongzhi from the central courtyard, and he immediately said:

"Xiao Qing, are you sending Hongzhi to school today?"

Xu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, Third Master."

Yan Bugui was secretly happy and walked out of the courtyard with Xu Qing. As soon as they arrived at the school gate, he asked his granddaughter and Hongzhi to quickly enter the school. He grabbed Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, don't leave in a hurry. Third uncle, I have something to tell you."

When Xu Qing heard Yan Bugui's words, he turned the front of his bicycle around without haste, stood at the school gate and said:
"Third uncle, what's the matter? Tell me."

Yan Bugui saw many parents dropping off their children at the school gate.

Of course, a large number of students come to school on their own.

Seeing that there were too many people, he said to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, come with me to my office. There are many people at the school gate, so it's not convenient to talk."

Xu Qing was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what Yan Bugui was doing so mysteriously, but he couldn't just leave, so he pushed his bicycle and followed him into the school.

Standing in the empty faculty and staff office, Xu Qing took out a cigarette, handed one to Yan Bugui and said:

"Third uncle, can you speak now?"

Yan Bugui stretched out his hand to adjust the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"Xiao Qing, didn't your first uncle and Silly Zhu go to your house last night? Third uncle, I and your third aunt also have some savings. Your meat factory needs money urgently, so we can lend you some."

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows and said with a smile:
"Third uncle, wouldn't it be the same for you in our compound?"

Yan Bugui shook his head, "Xiaoqing, it's not like you don't know that my three boys kept arguing with me for money. There are many people in our hospital, and my boss knew that he was with his wife, and then with him I live in the front yard, and if they hear me lending you money, they won’t make trouble with you in the future.”

Seeing Yan Bugui say this, Xu Qing immediately smiled.

Indeed, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li frequently asked Yan Bugui for money.

Last winter, brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang ran back to the courtyard to ask for it.

But it’s a bit too much for the third uncle to be so defensive about his children.

Xu Qing smoked the cigarette and said: "Third uncle, I think it's better to forget it. You can keep the money you and my third aunt have spent. If Brother Jie Cheng finds out, I'm afraid he won't make trouble with me yet. I'll make peace with you first." My third aunt won’t stop.”

Yan Bugui raised his hand and said with a smile: "It's okay. Let's talk about this in my school. Don't mention this when you go back. If I don't tell your third aunt, who will know."

Xu Qing said happily, "That's true."

But after thinking about it, Xu Qing frowned and said: "Third uncle, it's something else. The first uncle, Silly Zhu and Xu Damao have all lent me some money. I really don't need you to lend me any more money right now."

Yan Bugui hurriedly said: "No, you can accept the money your first uncle borrowed from you, I will lend you some, and you can use it. Otherwise, the people in the courtyard will think that I, the third uncle, have no influence on our courtyard." Don’t care about people’s affairs.”

Xu Qing was a little dumbfounded and thought to himself: "My third uncle, you are afraid that the people in the courtyard will know about it, and you also want to lend me money. It's really hard for you!"

"Xiaoqing, this is 1000 yuan. You and I will give you and your third aunt's pension money."

Yan Bugui took out the money from his body and handed it to Xu Qing, while looking towards the door of the office for fear that someone would suddenly come in.

Xu Qing took the money and put it directly on his body without counting it. He knew that the third uncle, who was very careful with his budget, must have counted the 1000 yuan seven or eight times since he was willing to lend him money.

He said, "Third uncle, there is no need to count. The money you gave me will never be less than a penny."

Yan Bugui saw this and said with a smile: "Okay, let's make a written document now."

After saying that, he reached out and opened the drawer in front of his desk, and took out paper, pen, and ink pad from it.
