Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 509 Xu Fengming moved back to the compound

As soon as Yan Bugui and the third aunt left, Xu Qing was still sitting at the table in the room eating, without getting up to send it off.

But he was polite in his words.

After eating, he also stepped out of the house and walked around towards the old lady.

Silly Zhu will be living in the old lady's main house starting tonight.

The two families have a good relationship and move around a lot. If there is anything I can do to help, I can help clean it up.

But when Xu Qing was standing in the old lady's room, Silly Zhu had already rolled up the bedclothes and spread them on the kang.

Although Si Zhu is not a very diligent person, he cleans the old lady's house every year. When he has time, he goes to the backyard to clean it with a broom, broom, and feather duster.

The tables, chairs and benches were wiped with a rag to remove any trace of dust, the floor was also swept, and the broom was placed behind the door.

That is to say, no one has lived in the house for many years, and it is autumn, so it is a bit eerie and cold.

Xu Qing took out the peony cigarettes on his body, handed one to Sha Zhu and said:

"Brother Silly Zhu, why don't you stay here tonight? Give the gentleman here a few days to warm up the house."

Silly Zhu placed the freshly washed rag on the washstand and took the flue:

"Hey, Qingzi, it's just the beginning of autumn, and there's nothing wrong at all."

As he spoke, he reached out and pulled out a stool from under the old square table, motioning Xu Qing to sit down.

Just as Xu Qing was about to sit down, Xu Damao strolled over, wearing a yellow leather jacket, similar in color to khaki, but slightly lighter, and a pair of brand new black cloth shoes on his feet. He walked towards the door and said:

"Qingzi, I heard from my wife that Fengming's wife gave birth to a son today, right?"

After Xu Damao asked while holding a cigarette in his mouth, he raised his feet and pulled out a stool from under the table next to Silly Zhu. Let Shazhu go aside so that he can sit down.

Silly Zhu ignored him, so Xu Damao had no choice but to use his feet to hook the stool to his side. Before he bent down and sat down, he turned his head and squinted at Silly Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, besides fighting with me in the courtyard all day long, do you have any other serious business?"

"Xu Damao, I told you clearly that I will just break up with you, what's going on?"

Silly Zhu pushed Xu Damao aside, who was about to sit down, and sat on the stool himself and said: "When the old lady was alive, you didn't want to take care of her in the backyard. Now that she's gone, you come here and want to sit down." stool.

I want to sit back in your own room and sit slowly, don't wander around in front of my eyes! "

Xu Damao sighed and stared: "Silly Zhu, don't think that you are putting on airs for me just because you are the director of the cafeteria. Believe it or not, I..."

"What am I?" Silly Zhu raised his head, "Xu Damao, Feng Ming's son has been born. You and Qin Jingru haven't even laid an egg until now. That daughter-in-law of Chentang Li Jing in Fengshen Yanyi gave birth to Nezha three years ago. What's going on? , Qin Jingru has given you a baby that will take thirty years to give birth to, right?"

"Silly Zhu, I'm here today to find Qingzi. Don't try to hurt me by making such detours. I'm happy today and have no time to talk to you."

After saying that, he glared at Si Zhu fiercely, turned towards Xu Qing and said:

"Qingzi, let's go to the courtyard and talk."

When Xu Qing saw that everything in the old lady's house had been put away and it was all cleaned up, there was nothing he needed help with, so he said to Shazhu:

"Brother Silly Zhu, I'll go to the courtyard first."

Silly Zhu sat on the stool, put his hands in his trouser pockets, bit the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and nodded.

The night sky was quiet and cool. Xu Qing stood in the courtyard, looked at Xu Damao and said:

"Brother Damao, tell me what's going on."

Xu Damao was holding a cigarette in his mouth, patting his leather jacket with his right hand, and glared at Silly Zhu in the old lady's room with a sinister look, then he came back to his senses and said:

"Hey, it's nothing. Brother, I go to Tiananmen Square to set up a stall every day now. The business is very good. There are good jokes for me to watch over at the cinema. I make money from these two ends. I have at least one big unity ticket in my pocket every day. What can I get? Well, my wife Bu Fengming gave birth today, let me have a few words with you."

Seeing Xu Damao say this, Xu Qing responded:

"Brother Damao, don't let Brother Silly Zhu make any detours with you, and don't make any detours in front of me. You've been praising yourself for me for a long time, aren't you just trying to show off to me?"

Xu Damao laughed.

"Qingzi, it's a pleasure to talk to you. I understand at one point that Silly Zhu is so stupid that he is really incomparable to you."

"Brother Damao, let's get down to business. Stop stretching. My wife is taking care of Xiujuan in the hospital tonight. I have to go back to the house later so that my son and daughter can go to bed early."

Xu Damao lowered his voice and said: "Qingzi, brother, I have taken traditional Chinese medicine a lot over the years, and I have been running to small clinics in the city. My wife Qin Jingru's stomach has no reaction at all. Do you think the problem is not there?" With me?

You know a lot of people, and you are in contact with leaders, bosses, and people with status. Brother, I am now in a state of poverty. The director of the third factory disappeared. A few years ago, I was transferred to a movie theater. The person who used to pat my shoulders all day long. The people who helped the officials looked down upon others, and they all avoided me because they felt that I couldn't stand up, brother.

I asked them to help me with something, but they ignored me.

My brother can only rely on you. If you have a familiar doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department of your hospital, introduce him to me. I will ask Qin Jingru to go to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow. "

When Xu Qing heard this, he couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He knew very well that Xu Damao had never had children. No matter whether he was with Lou Xiao'e or Qin Jingru, he never gave birth to a son or a half. The reason was that Xu Damao was not good enough.

However, Xu Qing did not say it directly, but thought for a while and said:

"Brother Damao, I suggest you don't let your daughter-in-law go to the hospital. If it turns out it's not her problem. With her temperament, she will definitely make noises all over the yard when she comes back from the hospital. Then you"

Xu Qing was half-sentence and did not continue.

Xu Damao was a shrewd man and understood what it meant. He took two puffs of cigarette, frowned and sighed:

"Qingzi, just treat me as my brother and I haven't mentioned this to you today."

After saying that, Xu Damao turned to ask:

"Qingzi, is Feng Ming going to move back to our hospital? Qin Huairu just came to my house and said that Feng Ming came back in the afternoon and discussed with Sha Zhu about living in the old lady's house."

Xu Qing said: "Yes, Feng Ming and Xiujuan live outside. They have a child and no one to take care of them. They both go to work and hire a nanny. The monthly expenses are not small. Plus raising a child, they can't afford it." , Xiujuan’s parents have not retired yet, so they moved back here first, and Aunt Feng just happened to help me and Aiguo take care of Qiaoxin and Hongfu, and when Fengming comes back, Aunt Feng can help take care of his children.”

Xu Damao heard the sound and suddenly said: "Yes, I thought it was what happened last week. Feng Ming was afraid that the three brothers Yan Jiecheng would find trouble with you in the courtyard again."

Xu Qing said nothing, and Xu Damao continued:

"Qingzi, don't be like Yan Jiecheng's three brothers. They are all lousy people who have no ability and no future. If you take them seriously, you will be flattering them.

Look at me, brother. I usually talk to Yan Jie Cheng in the courtyard?

He has no ability at all, and his calculations are not even comparable to his own wife's. He is quite a big man, and he doesn't use any brains. He listens to Yu Li on everything. Brother, when I see him, he doesn't talk to me, and I don't even look at him. He glanced. "

Xu Qing smoked a cigarette and remained silent. He thought about Xu Damao's words and felt that they made sense.

People like the three Yan Jiecheng brothers really cannot be treated as human beings.

It's too cheap to get angry with them.

Standing in the dark courtyard, Xu Qing and Xu Damao chatted for a few more words, then turned and went back to their homes.

Days passed by and Xu Fengming’s child was one month old.

Then, not three days later, it was just the weekend.

Taking advantage of his rest, Xu Fengming took Xiujuan and her child, who was post-confinement, to move into the compound early in the morning.

In the backyard, Xu Qing and Aiguo walked out of the compound, helped their third brother unload the things from the car at the entrance of the alley, and handed them to Sha Zhu and Xu Damao who were helping.

Yi Zhonghai stood aside, raising his hands to help Shazhu, Xu Damao and Qin Huairu's son Banggeng, and be careful not to bump them.

Feng Ming has lived outside in the past few years and bought a lot of good things.

Especially old items from the past, such as huanghuali cabinets, tables, stools, and red sandalwood coffee tables, I bought a lot of them.

In addition, there are imported color TVs and emerging washing machines. Liu Haizhong was in the backyard urging his two sons, Guangtian and Guangfu, to go out and help.

But Liu Guangtian tilted his head and said, "Dad, when Guangfu and I moved back at the beginning of the year, Xu Qing and Aiguo didn't help us. Why should we brothers help Xu Fengming move things?"

Liu Guangfu stood beside Liu Guangtian and echoed:

"My second brother is right. Xu Qing and his three brothers have never helped us. There is no way for us to help their family!"

Liu Haizhong felt unspeakably helpless as he looked at his two sons who had to calculate every little thing.

The two sons were right.

At the beginning of the year, Xu Qing and Aiguo did not help them.

But it wasn't because the two sons used to make trouble in the courtyard and offend others.

Otherwise, according to Xu Qinghe's patriotic character, Liu Haizhong didn't believe that the Xu Qing brothers would not lend a hand to help.

A dozen years ago, after the liberation of the Yanbu Gui family and Xie Kuang, they were sweeping snow from the roof of the Jia Zhang family and fell off.

Xu Qing watched Yan Jiekuang reattach the dislocated arm, clearly remembering it in the center of his bangs.

Now, many years later, the three Xu Qing brothers are all married, established, and have their own achievements. With so many people in the courtyard, no one can compare with them.

Liu Haizhong looked at his two sons who did not take the initiative to have a relationship with the Xu Qing brothers, and his nose became crooked with anger.

If his two sons were capable, he wouldn't ask them to go out and help.

The problem is that none of the two sons left behind have made a name for themselves.

Liu Haizhong looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu and became more and more angry.

Let them go out and help, that's for their own good.

Neither of the two boys could have thought of this and said angrily:

"It's up to you. When something happens in the future and you are in trouble, don't let me and your mother be like you three uncles, lowering your face and going to the house to beg the three brothers."

Liu Guangtian snorted, "Dad, aren't you just saying that Guangfu and I haven't been doing well in these years and you look down on us? But why didn't you and my mother think that we could be like this? Wasn’t it you who caused the harm?!”

Liu Guangfu followed: "That's right, my second brother and I are just encountering some difficulties at the moment, so we have to go back to the hospital as a last resort. When we have a turnaround at work, we will move out immediately, and I will never annoy you and my mother in the future." "

Liu Hai's angry face instantly turned livid, and he leaned against the door, feeling indescribably desolate in his heart.

It chilled him that his two sons actually said such words in front of him.

The second aunt walked out of the house, pointed at her two sons and cursed:

"You two are heartless, how can you talk? Do you think your father and I will live longer?"

Liu Guangtian tilted his head, twisted his body, turned around and hid back in his room.

Liu Guangfu was scolded and wanted to leave, but when he saw his father, his face was ugly and he said timidly:

"Dad, don't be angry. I just said casually that my second brother has this plan. If I want to move out again, I will definitely say hello to you and my mother in advance."

After Liu Guangtian finished speaking, he rubbed oil on the soles of his feet and left.

Liu Haizhong and his wife stood at the door of the house, secretly feeling sad.

The courtyard in late autumn is even cooler.

Bangs, who was heartbroken by his son, felt that it was not only autumn, but it was already winter.

In the middle courtyard, inside Jia's house, Qin Huairu and her two daughters steamed the kneaded buns into the pot and said:

"Xiao Dang, Huaihua, your uncle Feng Ming moved back today. Your brother has already gone over to help get things. There is nothing going on in the kitchen now. Mom and your grandma are watching, so you two should go out and help."

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat in front of the stove and lit the fire without making a sound.

It wasn't that she didn't hear what her daughter-in-law meant, but she knew that Qin Huairu was right.

Xu Qing opened a grain station, a meat factory, and was the director of the fifth factory of the patriotic and popular star rolling mill.

Xu Fengming is still the director of a hardware factory.

But for the hospital, Feng Ming's director is not a small official.

When Xu Fengming moved back, the three Xu Qing brothers reunited in the courtyard.

Who in the backyard can afford to mess with this?

Until Xiaodang and Huaihua patted the flour on their hands on the chopping board and said:

"Mom, then we will go out to help Feng Ming get things."

Sitting in front of the stove, Mrs. Jia Zhang didn't say a word.

Xu Qing is the boss, and Ai Guo and Feng Ming are officials.

Last month, Yan Jie and his three brothers went to the backyard to pick on Xu Qing'er.

As a result, within two days, they were all punished, including Yu Li.

Jia Zhang has lived and made trouble for most of her life. How can she not understand the situation in the compound.

…………

at the same time.

In the front yard, Yan Bugui and his third aunt were both too lazy to tell their son Yan Jiecheng and daughter-in-law Yu Li.

The old couple walked out of the compound and went to the alley entrance to help carry the stools and hot water bottles from the truck to the backyard.

Yu Li and Yan Jiecheng were sitting in the room and saw their parents helping Xu Fengming with something. The two of them cracked melon seeds and pretended not to notice.

After cracking a handful of melon seeds, Yu Li said:

"Jie Cheng, why don't you go to the alley and accompany your parents to help Feng Ming move the furniture to the backyard."

Yan Jiecheng scratched his back and said:

"Daughter-in-law, last time you asked me to ask Jiefang Xiekuang to ask Qingzi for money in the backyard. Even if we didn't ask for a cent of the money, we couldn't even lift our heads in front of my parents, and we were still being tortured in the factory. Punished.

During this time, Qingzi and Aiguo saw us in the courtyard. Did they talk to each other?

Even that boy Hongzhi rarely plays with my daughter recently. "

After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he glanced at the courtyard through the window, and continued to Li:

"If you ask me to go out and help now, what use will it be?

I won’t go, but if you want to go, you can go. "

Yu Li saw that after what happened last time, Yan Jiecheng didn't listen to a word she said. She immediately stared and gouged out her eyes, feeling very unhappy in her heart.

But she couldn't help herself and went out to help. Yan Jiecheng couldn't instruct Yan Jiecheng, his eyes rolled around, and his eyes fell on the girl who was holding a pencil and doing homework.
