Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 504 Just your three melons and two dates, am I short of it?

Xu Qing wiped his hands and ignored them, turning a blind eye to Yan Jiecheng, his three brothers and Yu Li who were speaking.

After handing the towel to his son Hongzhi, he sat at the table, reached out and grabbed the food Aunt Feng brought from the kitchen, and started eating.

Leave Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li aside, as well as Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang.

Yan Jiecheng's face was full of embarrassment, and he glanced secretly at his wife Yu Li, indicating that she should tell Jinghong.

Yu Li is actually very reluctant to come over. She is such a shrewd person, with a higher heart and more eyes. If it were not for the purpose of eliminating the punishment given by the factory, she would not be able to return to the compound today even if she was beaten to death, nor would she follow her man. , came to the backyard with two useless brothers-in-law.

But, she still came.

I dare not come, but can I not come?

Being punished will affect her future future in Factory No. [-]. She can come even if she doesn't want to.

Yu Li's eyes rolled in her sockets, then she twisted her body and faced Ma Jinghong and said:

"Jinghong, we all live in the same compound. Please help us explain what happened yesterday to Xie Qingzi.

My man did something wrong. He shouldn't have come to your door with liberation and reconciliation to ask you for money, but that wasn't forced by his parents!

You also know that in our courtyard, my father-in-law and mother-in-law are the stingiest. My daughter started school last month, and they, as grandparents, refused to pay even a penny for books. During the days when Jie Cheng and I were in the courtyard, Everyone can see that they really have no money. If it weren't for the fact that the family really couldn't make ends meet, it would mean that he would have followed his two younger brothers into committing adultery yesterday. "

Ma Jinghong sat opposite Xu Qing, eating her meal without raising her eyelids, and turned a deaf ear to Li's words.

However, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang heard that their eldest sister-in-law, Yu Li, had picked her and their eldest brother clean, and even belittled them, placing all the blame on their parents and them.

Suddenly he said angrily:

"Yu Li, don't think about taking you and my eldest brother out. Yesterday, my brothers went back to the hospital to ask for money, and it was you who took the lead. Last week, it wasn't you who asked my eldest brother to come to us and say "Dad" to us. Did mom lend money to Xu Qing?!"

Yan Jiekuang was furious and looked at Yu Li with angry eyes.

Yan Jiefang followed: "What Xie Kuang said is absolutely right, Xu Qing, my brothers are not responsible for this. It has been many years since we moved out and we no longer live in the courtyard. We have no idea what happened in the courtyard. It's My eldest brother and his wife came to find us, and they came up with another bad idea!"

Xu Qing held the chopsticks and chewed the white flour steamed bun in his mouth. He looked at his second brother Aiguo, but still ignored Yan Jiecheng, the three brothers and Yu Li. After swallowing the food in his mouth, he said:

"Aiguo, you, Aiqian and Aunt Feng, help our grandparents to rest over there."

Xu Aiguo and Liu Aiqian agreed in unison and asked their nephew Hongzhi to take care of their son and niece Qiaoxin. Then they helped their grandparents down the pit, and together with the nanny Aunt Feng, they helped the two old people out of the house. Under the cover of night, they walked towards the house where they lived. House past.

At this time, Xu Qing, who was in the room, put down his chopsticks, stood up, and said in a deep voice:

"Yan Jiecheng, take your wife and your two brothers with you, grab the things you brought, and get out of here! It's just your three melons and two dates, do I need it?!

My wife and I still have to eat, and I have no time to listen to your chatter here! "

The two brothers, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang, were unhappy on their faces and dissatisfied in their hearts.

But I didn’t dare to have an attack.

The two of them went back to the compound to find their parents after work at the Hongxing Machinery Factory, and then came to the backyard again, hoping to get Xu Qing's forgiveness and let Feng Ming remove the punishment imposed on them by the factory.

But it seems that there is no chance today.

Angry and hateful, but unable to do anything, after exchanging glances, they turned around and cut Xiang Yan into two pieces, suppressing the fire in his heart, and walked out of Xu Qing's house in despair.

However, Yan Jiecheng and his wife did not leave in a hurry. Yan Jiecheng wanted to say something more, but when he saw the angry look on Xu Qing's cold face, he was too frightened to say anything.

Yu Li leaned down and was about to ask Ma Jinghong, who was sitting on the chair to eat, to help her persuade Xu Qing.

However, before she could open her mouth, Ma Jinghong said with a straight face:

"Sister Yu Li, don't say in my ears, my brother Qing has the final say in our family's affairs!"

Yu Li was choked and speechless. She had to swallow the words she had been brewing in her heart for a long time.

Now, she finally understood that what happened yesterday had completely offended both Xu Qing and Jing Hong.

At the same time, it also offended Xu Aiguo's family and Xu Fengming.

Yu Li felt regret and fear in her heart.

But it's too late.

Looking at Xu Qing's cold expression and recalling Jing Hong's cold words, for the first time, she felt that her calculations had plunged her into an abyss.

She shivered with coldness, a chill surged from her heart, and it was so cold that the blood in her body seemed to freeze.

"Xie Cheng, then let's go back first and not disturb Qingzi and Jinghong's meal."

Yu Li hurriedly dragged Yan Jiecheng away and hurried back to the front yard in the dark night.

But Yan Jiecheng didn't pick up the things he asked him to carry.

Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai, who lived together in the backyard, were standing at the door of their house smoking when they saw the three brothers Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li walking out of Xu Qing's house with bad faces.

Liu Haizhong coughed slightly, tugged the blue long-sleeved work clothes draped over his shoulders twice, and thought about what to say to Yi Zhonghai:

"Lao Yi, I think we should not go to Xiaoqing's house tonight. Lao Yan's third son and Yu Li didn't listen to good things in the past. We two brothers will find an opportunity to help Lao Yan to Xu Qing in two days. Intercede.”

Yi Zhonghai puffed on his cigarette and said nothing, but nodded.

After Xu Aiguo, his wife Ai Qian and Aunt Feng settled their grandparents in their own home, they returned to the main house where they lived and saw that Yan Jiecheng had left with Yu Li and his two brothers.

Xu Aiguo raised his eyebrows slightly, hugged his son who rushed to him, and said to his eldest brother and sister-in-law:

"Brother, sister-in-law, Yan Jiecheng and the others are gone?"

Xu Qing held the newly lit smoke and said: "Let's go!"

Xu Aiguo yelled and said nothing.

At the same time, in the middle courtyard, Shazhu was sitting on the threshold of the door, holding a rag and applying shoe polish on the black leather shoes he bought when he was promoted to the canteen director this year. He looked up and saw the shriveled Yan Jiecheng, three brothers and Yu Li, looking disgraced. They came one after another from the backyard, grinning.

Yan Jiecheng, who left Xu Qing's house at the end, said:

"Aren't you quite capable? Where did that arrogant energy from yesterday go?"

Yan Jiecheng turned his head and looked sideways at Silly Zhu, his eyes widened with anger and he choked back:

"Silly Zhu, you're a bachelor and you don't even have a wife yet, so you still have the nerve to laugh at me?

You are destined to be a bachelor in this life! "

Silly Zhu immediately became angry, "Yan Jiecheng, are you looking for a slap in the face?!"

What bothers him the most is people calling him a bachelor, although as far as the current situation is concerned, he is indeed single. He is in his thirties and has not yet tasted the feeling of a wife and children, or a hot bed.

Yan Jiecheng's words were like a sharp needle piercing his heart.

Silly Zhu pinched the heels of his leather shoes that had not yet been polished, raised his neck, and glared at Yan Jie Chengdao;

"Grandson! If you have the guts, don't rush back to the front yard. Look at grandpa, I don't dare to beat you to death with the sole of my shoe!"

Yan Jiecheng was frustrated in front of Xu Qing, and he was angry and had no place to vent his anger. Usually when he saw Silly Zhu looking like this, he would definitely curse a few words, and then hurriedly hid in the front yard.

But tonight, he was uncharacteristically standing in the middle courtyard, tilting his head and saying:

"Si Zhu, come on, grandpa, I'll stand right here. If you dare, you can kill me. If you can't kill me, don't call me Si Zhu from now on!"

"Grandson, do you think grandpa doesn't dare?!"

Silly Zhu was cursing as he walked towards Yan Jiecheng carrying his unpolished leather shoes. He gets so angry that even the King of Heaven and I don’t recognize him. Yan Jiecheng dares to use him as a punching bag. How can he tolerate it?

Yu Li, who was about to walk back to the front yard, heard Yan Jiecheng quarreling with Sha Zhu. She turned around, rushed in front of Sha Zhu, pinched Yan Jiecheng hard and said:

"You useless loser, you have the same experience as a stupid pillar, but your brain is also stupid?

Hurry back to the front yard! "

Yan Jiecheng was scolded and pinched again. He gave Silly Zhu a sinister look and was pushed back to the front yard by Yu Li.

Seeing this, Silly Zhu snorted: "Grandson, if it weren't for your wife, grandpa would have made you walk around without food tonight!"

Yan Jiecheng turned around with a look of dissatisfaction. Yu Li raised her hand and slapped her on the face, dragging her back to the front yard.

"You coward! You have the ability to compete with Fool Zhu. Why didn't you want Xu Qing to withdraw our punishment when we were in the backyard?"

Yu Li cursed and took Yan Jiecheng back to the front yard.

Silly Zhu held the leather shoes in his hand, looked towards the front yard in the night, and then turned to look at the backyard. With a thought, he took the leather shoes back to the house and put them away, then turned and walked towards the backyard.

"Qingzi, what did Yan Jiecheng's grandson, his wife, and his two brothers want to do with you just now?"

Before entering Xu Qing's room, Silly Zhu opened his mouth and asked.

Xu Qing shook his head, "I don't know."

Before the three brothers Yan Jiecheng could say anything else besides apologizing, he issued an eviction order.

However, Xu Qing could guess that they came here to get the punishment removed.

But they are really blind.

The trouble was over just yesterday, and today, as soon as I was punished, I came here to make amends.

The abacus is really good.

Silly Zhu walked into Xu Qing's room with a cigarette in his mouth. He didn't ask any more questions. He looked sideways at the two economic cigarettes and two bottles of Laobaigan placed on the edge of the kang. He sat in front and said:

"Qingzi, this is what Yan Jiecheng's grandson got for you. It's really not a scheming thing. I really learned a lot from the third uncle. Just bring these, it's not too shabby!"

Xu Aiguo said: "Brother Yuzhu, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li even dare to plot against the third uncle and the third aunt. Do they still care about face?"

Silly Zhu scratched his head a little, "No, Aiguo, what you said is so right."

Xu Qing finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, looked at what Yan Jiecheng had brought, and said to his second brother:

"Aiguo, take the alcohol, tobacco and cigarettes to the front yard and return them."

He doesn't like it at all, even if you don't want something for free, you don't want it for free.

However, if you accept it, wouldn't it mean that what happened yesterday has been wiped out.

Furthermore, two cigarettes of economy cigarettes and two cigarettes of Laobaigan are not even worth five yuan these days.

Who do you look down on?

After he graduated from university, he was appointed as the director of the fifth factory of the Red Star Rolling Mill.

The cigarettes I smoke are all peonies issued from the factory.

In recent years, Aiguo and Fengming, as well as his younger sister Xiaoya, have gotten married one after another.

As the eldest brother, he no longer has to worry about his younger siblings, and life at home is getting better and better every year.

The peony cigarette has never left my hand.

He also smokes economy cigarettes and refuses anyone who offers them, but usually he only carries peonies.

As soon as I came, things got better and my family's conditions allowed.

Secondly, most of the people he interacts with have identities.

Third, Aiguo succeeded him as the director of the fifth factory. The factory's monthly quota of peony cigarettes or Huazi, and his second brother, who had never smoked, were all given to him and Feng Ming.

The two economical cigarettes Yan Jiecheng took and the cheap Laobaigan were not rare at all.

Xu Aiguo took the cigarettes and wine sent by Yan Jiecheng and walked to the front yard with Shazhu to return them. Ma Jinghong whispered:

"Brother Qing, are we going a little too far?

Aren't you going to give me some steps? Where are the third uncle and the third aunt?"

Women are still soft-hearted and kind.

Of course, it is also more delicate and considers more.

Xu Qing waved his hand and said: "It's okay. This matter has nothing to do with the third uncle and the third aunt. Don't worry about it. Yan Jiecheng and his two brothers are plotting against their parents. We can't control them, but they came to us yesterday. If you make trouble at home and leave steps for them, it will only allow them to take advantage of it!"

Ma Jinghong listened to her husband's words, used the head of chopsticks to push her hair to her ears, nodded, and felt that it made sense.

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were scheming in the courtyard all day long, even their own parents were not spared.

Today, I have really fallen down the stairs. If I don’t make a fuss, I will easily get into trouble in the future and become more arrogant and arrogant.

Xu Qing and Jing Hong continued to sit in the lighted room and eat dinner.

The incandescent light bulb emits bright yellow light, illuminating the room.

Outside the dark house, the autumn chill penetrated the courtyard in wisps at night. Xu Aiguo and Silly Zhu, who were walking towards the front yard, couldn't help but shrink back in the cold.

There was an autumn rain in the morning, so how could it not be cold at night?

As soon as Xu Aiguo arrived in the front yard, he walked to the house where Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li lived, raised his hand and knocked on the door:

"Yan Jiecheng, Brother Yuzhu and I brought you the cigarettes and alcohol you forgot in the backyard."

Yan Jiecheng was sitting on the bed in the room, just about to put on his shoes and open the door.

Yu Li hurriedly grabbed her and shouted at the top of her voice:

"No, Patriot, that's what I gave to you and your eldest brother. You can take it back and keep it."

After Yu Li finished speaking, she listened carefully to the movement outside the door.

"No need, I don't smoke, my elder brother will give it back to you."

Xu Aiguo said through the door, and Sha Zhu waited for Yan Jie to open the door as a couple.

However, Yu Li grabbed Yan Jiecheng hard and refused to open the door.

I forgot to bring back the cigarettes and alcohol. Yu Li deliberately left them in Xu Qing's house.

She was very thoughtful. Before leaving the backyard, she had thought that if Xu Qing and Jing Hong accepted the cigarettes and wine, it meant that she and Yan Jiecheng would still have a chance to withdraw their punishment.

Xu Aiguo could be heard coming to the front yard to return it to them.

Yu Li knew it was because Xu Qing refused to accept it, but she still took a chance and prevented Yan Jiecheng from opening the door to take it back. She deliberately dragged Xu Aiguo, hoping that he would get impatient and then take it back to the hospital for Xu Qing to accept it.

However, Xu Qing saw through her plan at a glance, and Xu Aiguo, who was standing at the door of Yan Jiecheng's house, also saw clearly at this time.
