Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 481 Fire
Xu Qing had no objection to Yan Bugui's request to establish written evidence.

When borrowing money, you should write something like this.

Last night, Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu didn't care about the conflict, and Xu Damao didn't mention it at all.

He hasn't even written a single note until now.

But three pieces of money, 2000 and two hundred yuan, were accepted last night.

As the most shrewd person in the compound, Yan Bugui had an abacus in his head, which he made every day.

For things like borrowing money, even for biological children, you have to create a document.

Xu Qing was smoking a cigarette and while waiting for the third uncle to finish writing the receipt so that he could sign it, he looked around Yan Bugui's teacher's office.

The space is not very big, it is about the same size as the office he used to share with Wu Yuemei and Qian Bing when he first started working at the No. [-] Factory.

There were a lot of things on display, including a few old tables with peeling paint that looked like they had been used for a long time. They were all piled with books, newspapers, ink bottles, wooden triangular devices, abacus and other teaching tools.

There are many large-character posters posted at the entrance, with black characters on a white background, neatly arranged, and in the middle hangs a calendar that was just released this year.

The walls of the entire office are white, as if they had just been painted with white ash this year. On the right side of the wall, there are two thermos bottles and several enamel tea jars, which were obviously specially opened by Yan Bugui and other teachers for drinking water. The place.

There are several pots of flowers placed in front of the window. They are blooming well and add some vitality to the office.

After a brief look, Xu Qing was smoking a cigarette, lowering his head and waiting for Yan Bugui to write the receipt.

But Yan Bugui was halfway through writing when he suddenly stopped the pen in his hand, turned around and said to Xu Qing:
"Xiaoqing, when it comes to interest, I'll write the same as your uncle. I'll pay as much as you give him. We're all neighbors, so it's more or less the same. By the way, you and the uncle will settle the matter. How many centimeters is it?”

Xu Qing flicked off the cigarette ashes and said: "The third uncle, the first uncle and Brother Silly Zhu didn't ask me for interest, and they didn't establish any documents. They just said that the efficiency of my meat joint factory would get better in the future, so just give them a few kilograms of pork." "

"what?"

Yan Bugui was shocked, stunned, with a look of disbelief.

He never expected that this would happen, and he suddenly felt secretly worried.

Silly Zhu doesn’t want interest, he understands.

After all, Shazhu and Xu Qing are contemporaries. They are close to each other on weekdays and have a good relationship. Interest or not, it doesn't matter.

Anyway, Silly Zhu couldn’t borrow much money from Xu Qing.

But Lao Yi didn't even ask for interest, so he borrowed money from Xu Qing in vain.

Yan Bugui couldn't understand for a moment. How could Lao Yi be so generous?This was beyond his expectation.

Isn't this completely unlike the way Lao Yi behaves in daily life?
However, he was too lazy to think about whether Yi Zhonghai and Shazhu wanted interest. Anyway, he was someone who could reap the benefits and would never ask for it.

It was impossible to borrow 1000 yuan from Xu Qing and keep the interest for free, just a few kilograms of pork.

But now, Yan Bugui thought that he had said everything and given the money to Xu Qing, and felt a little bit in a dilemma.

Yan Bugui put the pen on the paper, thoughts racing in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he had an idea in his mind and said to Xu Qing:
"Xiao Qing, since the first uncle doesn't want interest, then I don't want to be the third uncle. However, in a few days, the school will give the students the final exams and they will have summer vacation. Third uncle, I will have nothing to do then, 伱Can you find something for me so that I can earn some money during my vacation? What do you think?"

Seeing Yan Bugui say this, Xu Qing smiled in his heart. How could he not know who the third uncle was.

That is the master who will squeeze out a few ounces of oil even if he catches a mouse.

Xu Qing thought for a while and said: "Third uncle, let's do it. Our meat factory has been built. There is no need for anyone to visit the door for the time being. However, in the warehouse of my grain station, these days, the grain collected in the countryside last year is still a little bit gone. After the processing is over, after the summer vacation, you can go over to the warehouse and help me keep an eye on them, mainly to prevent them from smoking in there and causing trouble."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he didn't hesitate at all and said with a smile: "Okay, Xiaoqing, I can come to these three uncles, then it's settled."

Yan Bugui no longer struggled with the issue of interest. Xu Qing arranged a job for him. If he could make money and the interest was not interest, he no longer cared about it.

Three minutes later, Xu Qing took a look at the paper written by Yan Bugui and suddenly smiled in his heart.

Because at the end of the note, Yan Bugui wrote that if the meat joint factory was to be profitable, it would require five kilograms of pork.

What else could Xu Qing say besides laughing.

The third uncle is the third uncle. When he plots against people, his relatives will not recognize him.

But Xu Qing didn't care. Yan Bugui lent him 1000 yuan, which could solve his urgent need.

As long as the meat joint factory is operating, just a few kilograms of pork is nothing.

Besides, Yan Bugui wanted to find something to do while school was out during the summer vacation, so that Er Mazi wouldn't have to go to the warehouse.

Go to the countryside early to collect grain with your second dad.

Xu Qing leaned over and clutched the pen, signed the receipt, pressed his fingerprints, and said to Yan Bugui:

"Third uncle, don't worry now."

Yan Bugui folded the receipt, put it on his body, and said with a smile:
"Hey, Xiaoqing, third uncle, I watched you grow up in the courtyard, so I don't have anything to worry about you. It's just that when we do things, we have to be reasonable and well-founded. Isn't it more formal?"

Xu Qing knew that Yan Bugui had the highest speaking skills among the three uncles in the courtyard. He smiled and said nothing. After leaving the school, he took the 1000 yuan given by Yan Bugui and pushed his bicycle back to the courtyard.

Everyone in the compound who was supposed to be working went to work at this time.

Everyone who went to school also left.

There were only three aunts in the front yard. The light of the rising sun shone in the courtyard, starting a new day.

As soon as Xu Qing entered the front yard, he saw the third aunt looking at him with a smile.

Xu Qing said hello and told the third uncle about borrowing money.

The third aunt smiled and nodded.

She knew it.

She and Yan Bugui discussed it in the house for a long time last night, how could they not be clear about it.

Xu Qing exchanged a few pleasantries, walked through the central courtyard, and returned to his home in the backyard. After eating breakfast cooked by Aunt Feng with his grandparents, he went out to the post office, took a telegram to his second father, Xu Guangjin, and then went to his home in Dongdan. We walked around the grain station.

There were not many customers in the grain station. It was only Monday, so the morning was already busy.

Jinghong, Hui Lihua, Wu Xiuying, Luo Hongjuan, Li Shuzhen, Sanhuzi's wife, Meijuan, and Xiaoya were all chatting while sifting millet and rice debris with dustpans.

Xu Qing's arrival caused everyone to stop what they were doing.

"Brother, why don't you rest at home?"

Xu Xiaoya ran to her elder brother and asked with a smile, while pouring him a cup of tea.

Xu Qing sat on a chair, took the cup handed to him by his sister, sipped tea and said, "I just went to the post office to send a telegram to my second father. I stopped by to see you."

Sanhuzi's wife held the dustpan and leaned the edge of the dustpan against her belly. She stood outside the grain station, leaning sideways and bumping back and forth and said:
"Xiaoya, what am I talking about? Your eldest brother is my shopkeeper. He is a hard-working man. It is impossible for him to lie down at home and sleep peacefully in broad daylight."

Xu Xiaoya pursed her lips and smiled when she heard Sanhuzi's wife's words.

Of course she knew that her eldest brother was diligent.

In order to support her and her second brother's patriotism, the third brother Fengming dropped out of high school and went to work in a factory, finally raising the three of them.

She has seen her eldest brother's diligence since she was a child.

"Brother, you sit down and have a rest. No one is coming right now. I'll rub your shoulders for you."

Xu Xiaoya said, walked behind Xu Qing, and gently squeezed her elder brother's shoulders with both hands.When Ma Jinghong saw this, a smile appeared on her face.

She knew best how tired Xu Qing was. During this time, Xu Qing didn't even have the energy to be intimate with her at night.

When Wu Xiuying and Li Shuzhen saw this, they said happily:

"Brother-in-law Xu Qing, you are so happy. Look how kind Xiaoya is to your elder brother."

Xu Qing enjoyed his sister's soft hands pressing his shoulders, closed his eyes and said:

"I can't help it. Who asked my sister to love me?"

After a while, Xu Qing fell asleep sitting on the chair without knowing it.

On the one hand, Xiaoya's pressure was too comfortable.

On the other hand, he really hasn't had a good rest these days.

Building a meat factory is not an easy task. You have to be busy with everything. You have to travel countless times a day in and outside the city. If the workers have a dispute or quarrel, he, as the boss, has to mediate.

He didn't know how long it took before he woke up. When he opened his eyes, he saw the obedient Xiao Bai lying on top of him and sleeping with his eyes narrowed. Xiao Jin squatted aside and stared at his round eyes.

Xu Qing picked up Xiaobai and put him on the ground. He stood up and stretched his waist. He saw Jinghong, Hui Lihua, and Luo Hongjuan looking at him and snickering, and asked curiously:
"Do I have flowers on my face?"

Wu Xiuying said with a smile on her pretty face: "Brother-in-law Xu Qing, you don't have any flowers on your face, but..."

Xu Qing hurriedly reached out and touched his face, and saw that there was nothing on his hands. But when he saw his sister Xiaoya hiding behind his wife Jinghong and grinning, he instantly understood what was going on.

He rolled his eyes at his sister angrily and said, "Xiaoya, what did you draw on my face?"

Xu Xiaoya stuck out her tongue, shook her head, and said nothing.

Xu Qing had no choice but to walk into the counter, take out the mirror from his wife Jinghong's bag, and look at it for himself.

Just looking at it made me dumbfounded.

On both sides of the corners of the mouth, my sister used a brush to draw three thin lines on each side.

Suddenly I was angry, laughing, and helpless.

When Xu Xiaoya was a child, she loved to play tricks with Feng Ming. He, Aiguo, Xu Damao and Silly Zhu in the courtyard were all teased.

It’s just that my sister is now a grown-up girl, married, and still so naughty,

He couldn't help but recall the days when he took Xiao to play with Ai Guo and Feng Ming.

In spring, go hiking and fly kites.

Cricket fights in the yard in summer.

On winter evenings, the cats were in the house roasting sweet potatoes around the stove.

Although the family didn't have much money at that time, and they didn't have any decent luxury goods, the money he earned could only feed his younger brothers and sisters, which was very happy.

Nothing can compare to this!

Xu Qing raised his head, glanced at his sister Xiaoya, found a towel, dipped it in water and wiped it off. He was not angry, but he still pinched his sister's nose.

"You, you are almost giving birth to a child yourself, and you still act like a child."

Xu Xiaoya grinned and said cheerfully: "What's the matter? You are the eldest brother anyway, and I am younger than you."

Sanhuzi's wife said from the side: "Shopkeeper, Xiaoya is right, you are the elder brother, she is always the little one in front of you."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing, what he said was true, it was true.

No matter how old Xiaoya is, she is still her sister.

Xu Qing lowered his head and glanced at the radar watch on his wrist. Seeing that it was past ten in the morning, he stopped staying at the grain station.

I rode my bicycle back to the compound and called the secretaries of several communes in the countryside. I told them that they would go to collect grain this year and that I would ask my second father to help collect grain.

Prepare the greeting ground in advance so that it is not received when the time comes. If you don't receive it when you go to the countryside, you will be in trouble.

Nowadays, the meat processing plant is not yet in operation, and the business of the grain station is still a top priority.

This year, many personal food stations have opened in the city.

Although he doesn't know which personal grain stations will, like him, go to the countryside to harvest the winter wheat when it is ripe and process it by themselves.

But things that should be planned earlier should be done as soon as possible.

In the afternoon, Xu Qing took a break at home. He took his daughter Qiaoxin and nephew Hongfu to sit in the courtyard with his grandparents. He chatted with some aunts in the courtyard for a while. After seeing that the weather had cooled down, he got up and rode his bicycle. Went to the suburban warehouse.

The suburbs are now a hot spot, and almost all the industrial land designated by the state is owned.

Various factories are being planned and constructed.

Although he couldn't see anything yet, Xu Qing knew that in a few years, this place in the suburbs would be very lively.

When they arrived at the warehouse, Er Mazi and Lao Wu were scolding a young man who looked about eighteen or nineteen years old.

Xu Qing stopped his bicycle, frowned and asked:

"Brother Mazi, Lao Wu, what's going on?"

Er Mazi said angrily: "Qingzi, this kid secretly hid in the corner of the warehouse to smoke. At first, Lao Wu and I didn't notice it. Later, I saw a cigarette butt left in the corner of the warehouse. After asking around, the result was this The kid smoked it, do you think it’s irritating or not?”

Xu Qing's face suddenly darkened and he said to the young man:

"Haven't you read a book?"

"I've read it." The young man with an unconvinced look bowed his head and said when he saw Xu Qing's expression was not good and he yawned.

Xu Qing said coldly: "Since you have read the book, don't you know that flour is flammable?"

The young man remained silent.

Xu Qing said directly: "Okay, I will pay your salary now. From now on, if you go to work elsewhere, I will not use you here again!"

Old Wu stood aside with a troubled look on his face, "Shopkeeper, this young man is young and energetic and is not sensible. All he needs to do is criticize. If he does, he will be fired."

"What happened?" Xu Qing turned his head and looked at Old Wu sharply:
"Old Wu, why do you think I have repeatedly ordered you not to smoke in the warehouse? Why do you ask Brother Mazi to come here and keep an eye on you? Is it because you secretly grab a handful of white noodles and take them away every day?!"

Lao Wu didn't speak, and Er Mazi didn't dare to speak.

Xu Qing said sternly: "I'm telling you, flour will explode when exposed to open flames, and you won't be able to run away. It's such a hot summer, and if it gets hotter in a few days, things will get hotter and accidents will happen more easily."

He who has studied knows this and is still smoking in the warehouse. Fortunately nothing happened today, otherwise, you would all be dead now! "

Er Mazi had never seen Xu Qing so angry before. He was shocked and kept silent.

Old Wu looked at the young man with complicated eyes. He had never been to school for a day and did not understand these principles, let alone their seriousness. When he heard Xu Qing's words, he was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on his back.

It could be seen that the young man had a hard time, so he begged Xu Qing for help:
"Shopkeeper, this is his first time, please forgive him."

Xu Qing stared at Lao Wu, "I keep him, if something happens, who will be responsible?
I can forgive him, but I can't joke with your lives! "
