Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 486 Yanbu’s family has dinner
After leaving Hui Dehai's house, Xu Qing looked up and saw that the sky was starting to darken.

Because it was summer, it was not completely dark.

He rode his motorcycle on the street in the dusk of evening, moving slowly forward.

There are many people in the city. At this time, people who have got off work have already left the office, but the people on the street are still bustling and noisy.

The stall owners were shouting, and young people gathered around, each riding a bicycle, and gathered in groups on the roadside. They stopped against the telephone poles, smoking and chatting with laughter.

The 'banye' who works on three wheels and the newly emerged 'traitor' join in wherever there are many people.

When it’s dark and there’s no one on the street, I’ll stop.

The benefits of reopening are obvious in the city.

Bell-bottom pants have become a favorite among young men and women in the city, and have become a trend in the city.

Whether a person is fashionable or not depends on how he or she dresses.

A pair of bell-bottom trousers, that's the most basic thing, and a pair of toad mirrors. When my brothers see it, they will raise their thumbs up and praise them twice.

If you come out with a tape recorder, that's the 'focus'.

Regardless of whether they know him or not, all young people will take the initiative to take a look at him.

I think this guy is really good, awesome!
However, Xu Qing is no longer in his twenties, and he no longer thinks about carrying a tape recorder on the street to pick up girls.

He married Jinghong ten years ago and is now busy with his career. He glanced sideways at the group of fashionable young people listening to Hong Kong and Taiwan pop songs, avoided the pedestrians on bicycles, and quickly headed back to his compound. .

In the front yard, Yan Bugui just returned from the suburban warehouse 15 minutes ago.

Now that he can make money during the summer vacation, he is in high spirits. He just took Yu Li's daughter with him. After wiping his bicycle that had been twisted in the soil for a day and was covered with mud, he asked the third aunt to quickly clean it up. The watermelon he bought today was cut into pieces. He wanted to eat a few pieces to relieve the heat.

The third aunt was preparing dinner when she heard that her boss wanted to eat the watermelon first. She didn't say a word of complaint. She put down the bowls and chopsticks and went into the kitchen to cut the watermelon.

The third uncle can make more money this year than in previous years, so the third aunt naturally follows the third uncle.

As soon as Xu Qing pushed his bicycle into the front yard, Yan Bugui hurriedly grabbed him and said:

"Xiao Qing, you're back. Your third mother said she would see you in the afternoon. Don't be in a hurry to go back. Come to my house for a piece of watermelon first."

Yan Bugui had a cheerful face, and his eyes were full of indescribable joy.

He worked in Xu Qing's warehouse. When he was not tired, he kept an eye on the workers and told them not to smoke in the warehouse. When he had nothing to do, he would walk around the meat factory that Xu Qing had just built and help them do the same.

During the whole holiday, I can earn 30 yuan.

Although the money is not as much as when he was teaching in school.

The win is that it is easy. Yan Bugui thinks it is good to have an income of 30 yuan.

Although I was thinking about it in my heart, I felt a little less, but I had no words on my lips.

If Xu Qing hadn't asked him to take care of the warehouse, he would have been idle in the courtyard this summer without earning a penny.

On balance, 30 yuan is equivalent to getting it for nothing, so Yan Bugui is content.

After all, he was still planning to find a good job in Xu Qing's meat factory when he retired.

When it comes to making money, Yan Bugui, the third uncle, may not even be able to compare with Zhou Papi.

"Third uncle, I also have watermelon at home. You and the three aunties can eat it yourself."

Xu Qing wanted to go back to the backyard.

Yan Bugui grabbed Xu Qing's arm and said, "What's the hurry? Third uncle, I haven't talked to you for several days. Come to my house to eat two pieces of watermelon. Your third aunt has also packed the dinner. You can also bring the meal." Eat again."

The third aunt heard the noise, cut the watermelon in half, put the kitchen knife on the chopping board, ran out of the house, and carried Xu Qing into her room with Yan Bugui.

Xu Qing couldn't stand the enthusiasm of the three elders and his wife.

But the motorcycle was parked in the front yard by Yan Bugui, and it was difficult to refuse the kindness, so he had to go to the third uncle's house.

Yu Li and Yan Jie, a couple who lived together in the front yard, were cooking dinner in the kitchen of their own house. When they heard the noise, the couple looked into the yard through the kitchen window.

Yu Li wore an apron and saw Xu Qing being pulled into the house by her parents-in-law. She turned her head and gave Yan Jiecheng a white look and said:

"You wimp, did you see that your parents didn't even ask us to go to his place for dinner, but today they dragged Xu Qing to death and refused to let him go."

Yan Jiecheng scoffed and snorted: "Daughter-in-law, don't you know who my parents are? My dad is plotting against Qingzi. Do you really think that anyone who wants to eat my dad's food can eat it.

Don’t forget, if Qingzi hadn’t asked my father to work in his warehouse in the suburbs, and based on my father’s calculations, it would be strange that Qingzi could eat even a grain of rice from my house! "

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he took a puff of cigarette from the corner of his mouth, put the ladle of water into the lid of the water urn, and said again with bared teeth:

"Xu Damao, Silly Zhu, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from our hospital have been here for so many years. Have you ever seen them go to my father's house for dinner? Silly Zhu was so shameless in the past few years that he came to my house with rainwater and often had a meal. eat.

If Xu Damao didn't carry anything, my mother wouldn't even give him chopsticks. "

Yu Li rolled her eyes at her man and said angrily:

"Stop talking about the bad things that happened in your family's past. I'm too lazy to listen. Let's start the fire. By the way, you go out and tell our daughter that she will have dinner with your parents tonight. I won't order noodles while we make noodles."

Yan Jiecheng heard what Yu Li said and smiled: "Daughter-in-law, you are still thoughtful."

Yan Jiecheng turned around and left the house, stood in the courtyard, shouted to his daughter, leaned down, whispered something in a low voice, patted his daughter on the shoulder and told her to go back to her grandparents' house.

Yan Jiecheng returned to his house, followed Yu Li, and the couple continued to cook.

Now Yan Bugui and his children have completely separated their families.

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng wanted to go to his house for dinner, but there was no way they could do it unless they paid for the meal.

At this point, Liu Haizhong is not as good.

Although Liu Haizhong was very strict in front of his children, he often cursed.

But Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu were already strong.

Their wives had already figured out the temperaments of their parents-in-law.

The two families have a tacit understanding. They take turns going to their parents' house for dinner, and they get scolded every time.

It stopped for a while, and then continued to eat shamelessly.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu felt that they had made a profit if they could not open fire at home.

But at this time, Xu Qing was sitting in the expensive house in Yanbu. After eating watermelon, he was eating the steamed buns mixed with stick noodles handed to him by the third aunt. Silly Zhu walked over from the middle courtyard and saw Xu Qing parked in the front yard. Bicycle, hands in pockets, humming a popular sweet song, he walked into Yanbu's expensive house and said:
"Hey, third uncle, you are so generous today that you are willing to let Qingzi come to your house for dinner."

After Si Zhu finished speaking, he stretched out his hand from his trouser pocket and walked towards Yan Bu Gui's washbasin. He grinned and turned to look at Yan Bu Gui and said with a smile:
"Third uncle, I haven't eaten yet. I could have eaten in the factory tonight, but the factory director said in the afternoon that the people who came to the factory for inspection were not coming, so I don't need to arrange for people to cook. Tonight, I will follow Qing Qing I’ll just give it a try at your house.”

Yan Bugui's face suddenly sank. He had not prepared dinner for Silly Zhu.

Although Silhu is now the canteen director at the No. [-] Hongxing Steel Rolling Plant, Yan Bugui just has a better attitude toward him.

In the eyes of Yan Bugui, who has been shrewd for most of his life, Silu Zhu, a director, is incomparable to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing is not an official now, but his business is doing well.Moreover, Xu Qing's second brother is patriotic and serves as the head of the fifth branch of the Red Star Rolling Mill. His third brother Feng Ming had assumed the position of director a few years ago based on his own ability.

The three brothers are all top-notch in the compound.

Shazhu has no brothers, but he is a director, but Yan Bugui feels that Shazhu can't help him much.

Xu Qing now lets him work in a warehouse in the suburbs, but Silly Zhu is of no use at all.

What if Silly Zhu was not the director in charge of the canteen, but someone else.

Yan Bugui would think otherwise, perhaps planning to ask Shazhu to help and watch Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li get involved.

Don't let your son and daughter-in-law come to him every day to cry for money.

But unfortunately, Shazhu is only in charge of the cafeteria of the third factory and is only responsible for the affairs of the cafeteria.

Yan Bugui had a serious face and said thoughtfully: "Silly Zhu, you are the director of your factory. Regarding this canteen, why didn't you come back with a lunch box at night?"

Silly Zhu washed his hands, sat down next to Xu Qing, and took out the flue:
"Third uncle, it's summer and we're still in ambush, so we've left lunch until the afternoon, and the taste has changed when we bring it back."

After Silly Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Third Aunt and said, "Third Aunt, help me get a pair of chopsticks. I haven't eaten your steamed buns for a long time. I'm surprised."

The third aunt glanced at the head of the house, indicating whether to take the chopsticks or not?
What could Yan Bugui do? If it had been anyone else, he could have dismissed her with just a few words.

But Silly Zhu, even talking about a basketful of words, was of no avail, so he secretly gave the third aunt a look and told her to go to the kitchen to get the dishes.

Xu Qing is here today, and Sha Zhu has become the director this year, so he has to give him face.

No matter what, Silly Zhu is a director after all, so he can’t be too embarrassed.

Furthermore, Yanbu has a lot of smart people. If Si Zhu can be the canteen director now, is there any guarantee that he will be promoted in a few years?

In my heart, I was still thinking about the future exposure to Silly Pillar.

The third aunt brought out bowls and chopsticks for Sha Zhu from the kitchen. Sha Zhu sat next to Xu Qing, eating the meal and saying:

"Qingzi, since you haven't been here these past few days, the third uncle and the third aunt have praised you to the heavens in the courtyard, saying that you are the most capable person in our courtyard!"

Xu Qing chewed the steamed bun in his mouth and nodded with a smile.

When Yanbu Gui saw Shazhu speaking for him, a smile suddenly appeared on his gloomy face, and he grinned happily:

"Silly Zhu, do you think what I told the third uncle is the truth?"

Silly Zhu hurriedly responded: "That's right, third uncle, you are far-sighted and can speak out about national affairs, as well as matters in the courtyard. What you said is absolutely correct!"

Xu Qing couldn't help but feel happy when he saw Sha Zhu and Yan Bu Gui singing together.

At this time, in the backyard, Xu Hongzhi took his sister Qiaoxin and his patriotic son Hongfu. The three little guys were chewing fruit candies and ran from the backyard to the front yard, preparing to go to the alley outside the compound to wait for their parents to go home.

Aunt Feng told Aiguo and Ai Qian about Xu Qing's return this afternoon, and the three little guys also heard about it.

However, in the front yard, when Xu Hongzhi saw his motorcycle, he suddenly stopped rolling the hoop in his hand, put it down with a bang, and ran to the door of Yanbu Guiyang's house with a bang, and said to his father:

"Dad, are you back? Where is my mother? Why don't you go back to our house and eat at my third grandpa's place."

After Xu Hongzhi finished speaking, he twisted his head and hooked his sister Qiaoxin and cousin Hongfu who were picking up iron rings in the yard. He turned around and skipped to Xu Qing's side, grinning and saying:
"Hello Third Grandpa, Hello Third Grandma, and Hello Uncle Silly Zhu."

When Xu Qing saw his son, daughter and nephew coming over, he put down the chopsticks in his hands, held his daughter in his arms, and asked his son Hongzhi:
"Has your Grandma Feng cooked dinner at home?"

Xu Hongzhi stood aside and said hummingly: "It's been done a long time ago. My uncle came to our house today to talk to my great-grandfather and my second uncle and second aunt."

When Xu Qing heard this, he yelled.

Yan Bugui saw this and said hurriedly: "Xiaoqing, your brother-in-law came to our compound earlier."

Silly Zhu chewed the steamed buns in his mouth and said, "Yes, Qingzi, Jiefang came to our compound from the factory with me. I just saw that the steamed buns steamed by the third aunt are good, I forgot to tell you."

The third aunt's face showed a proud look. In terms of cooking, Shazhu was considered the authority in the courtyard.

Don't look at her, the first aunt, the second aunt, Jia Zhang and others have been around the pot table for most of their lives.

But compared with Silly Zhu who is a cook, there is still a gap.

I couldn't help but feel a little happy when I heard Silly Zhu, the canteen director, give such a high evaluation.

However, Xu Qing had no intention of staying in Yanbu's expensive house and eating slowly. After swallowing the half-eaten steamed buns in one gulp, he stood up and said:

"Third uncle, third aunt, Brother Shazhu, you and Niuniu eat first, and I will take my son and the others home first."

After saying that, Xu Qing hugged his daughter, pulled his nephew, turned around and headed out of the house with his son.

Yu Li's daughter Niuniu held her chopsticks, stuck out her tongue at Xu Hongzhi, and shook her head, causing her braids to sway.

Not to be outdone, Xu Hongzhi pressed the thumb of both hands to the corner of his mouth, lifted his eyelids with his little finger, made a face, turned around and followed his father before going out.

The sky in the courtyard was darker than in front of me.

The stars had emerged from the night sky, and the moon took on a pale white color to match.

Xu Qing returned to the backyard. As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ma Jiefang smoking a cigarette and sitting sideways on the kang. He was playing with his grandfather's tobacco pole and chatting with his second brother.

"Brother Qingzi, you really returned to the city today. I thought Aunt Feng was teasing me? How is your grain and pig harvest going?"

Ma Jiefang straightened up and asked loudly.

Aiguo also said: "Brother, didn't my sister-in-law come back with you?"

Xu Qing responded: "I went out in the afternoon and didn't go to the grain station. Your sister-in-law probably won't get off work for a while."

Then he looked at Ma Jiefang and said to Patriot:
"I'll collect the pigs in the next few days when I go to the countryside. I'll bring the pigs back in two days and watch the meat factory open first. Er Mazi is still in the countryside and he'll take care of the grain collection."

Ma Jiefang puffed on the smoke and said: "That's true, but Brother Qingzi, Brother Mazi is the only one collecting grain in the countryside, I'm afraid it won't work, right?"

Xu Qing said: "There is also my second father and my two cousins."

Ma Jiefang sat on the edge of the kang and nodded.

Xu Qing turned to him and said, "Jiefang, what are you doing here today?"

"It's nothing. You went to the countryside a few days ago. Today my dad asked me to come over and see my fifth sister."

Ma Jiefang finished with a smile, and then said: "Oh, by the way, Brother Qingzi, the fourth sister sent a letter yesterday. I heard that you are setting up a meat joint factory this year, and asked when it will open. Then he and the fourth brother-in-law can come back together. , they are on summer vacation from teaching at the university, and they are going back to the city to see my parents."

As soon as Ma Jiefang finished speaking, a fierce quarrel suddenly broke out in the courtyard.

"Go away, you two bastards, get away from me. I never want to see you two again!"

Liu Haizhong's stern yelling resounded throughout the courtyard, breaking the tranquility in the courtyard. The chirping of insects in the evening suddenly stopped.

Ma Jiefang scratched his hair and looked suspicious, "Brother Qingzi, Master Liu, the second uncle of your hospital, who are you angry with?"
