Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 51
Along the way, Xu Qing didn't encounter anything else when he returned, because the street was so vast that no one could be seen except for the falling snowflakes.

The surrounding area was as pitch black as ink, and there was no sound at all.Even if there is a gangster, it is too cold now to get up and go home to warm up.

Xu Qing felt cold all the way, and his cheeks were stinging from the snowflakes.

Although the air is no longer very dry, the biting cold wind is blowing snowflakes flying randomly, making breathing very suffocating and uncomfortable.

After returning to the compound, Xu Qing had a layer of snow falling on his body and a lot of it on his hair. He bent down and patted it off, and when he raised his hands, there were all melted snowflakes.

Xu Qing stood at the door of Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard, stomped off the snow on his shoes, reached out to knock on the door, and after hearing Shazhu's response, hurriedly pushed the door and walked in quickly.

At this time, Silly Zhu was curled up, wrapped in a quilt, leaning against the wall beside the kang, drinking hot water from a large teapot, and holding a burning economical cigarette in his right hand.

However, the fire inside the room was very warm, and the temperature difference from the outside was almost ten degrees.

Sijiucheng is located in the north, and the coldest weather in winter can reach minus ten or twenty degrees, which is not as good as the Northeast, but it is almost the same.

Especially now that we have entered the twelfth lunar month, it is pouring with nine. The cold winter is getting colder every day.

As soon as Xu Qing entered the room, he felt that the chill in his body had dissipated a lot.

Walking to the edge of the Kang, Xu Qing reached out his hand and took out the seven or eight cold medicines he had just bought from the hospital, and handed it to Sha Zhu, saying:
"Brother Silly Zhu, I bought the medicine. You should take it quickly."

Silly Zhu had a runny nose, quickly grabbed the handkerchief to wipe it off, sneezed, shook his hands vigorously in the air, and hurriedly said: "Brother, thank you, hurry up and sit down to keep warm."

Seeing that Xu Qinglian was red from the cold, Shazhu took the medicine and patted the edge of the bed to signal him to sit down quickly.

Then he hurriedly opened the wrapping paper, picked up a piece, and threw it into his mouth. While there was still hot water in the big tea vat, he raised his head and took the medicine into his stomach.

Silly Zhu sneezed two more times, shook his body, and seemed to feel a little better. He put the quilt aside, took out a cigarette, shook out one, and handed it to Xu Qing, with a grateful expression on his face:
"My brother caught two colds, and you gave me the medicine. My brother accepts this love. If there is anything you can use my brother in the future, just ask!"

Xu Qing said nothing, holding a cigarette in his hand. When he saw Si Zhufu taking out money again, he handed him fifty cents.

Xu Qing hurriedly waved his hands: "Brother Silly Zhu, it's only three cents, it's not worth it, forget it."

"Don't tell me, your family's life is not easy, brother can't let you spend money on medicine. Take it!"

As Silly Zhu spoke, he took a dime back and put forty cents into Xu Qing's hand.

Xu Qing did not refuse or be polite. He put the money in his pocket, sat on the edge of the kang, chatted with Silly Zhu for a while, then got up and left, heading back to his room in the backyard.

At this time, there was a layer of snow in the courtyard, and the footprints Xu Qing had just walked in the middle courtyard were covered by the falling snow.

As for the backyard, the snow was pure white. If Xu Qing hadn't come back, no one would have stepped on it until tomorrow morning.

Xu Qing held the flashlight and glanced at the door of Xu Damao's house. He saw that the lights were on and a bicycle was parked at the door. He thought he was back.

Shrinking his body, Xu Qing hurriedly ran back to his room.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Qing suddenly felt that his home was warmer than that in Silly Zhu's house. A stove was set up in the front room, and the kang was burning warm. The three little cats were all sitting by the stove, preparing to wash their feet obediently.

The second brother, Xu Aiguo, was carrying a kettle and pouring hot water into the footbaths of Xu Fengming and the little girl one by one.

Seeing his eldest brother coming back, Xu Aiguo put the kettle back on the stove, turned around and ran into the kitchen.

The little girl reached out and grabbed Xu Qing's skirt, grinned, and said sweetly:

"Big Brother, Second Brother, Third Brother and I, I left all the food in the pot for you, so hurry up and eat."

Xu Qing did not expect that the three little guys would become more and more sensible.

In the past, when their parents were there, they were carefree, they didn't care about anything, and they didn't need to care about anything.

They mainly live in the city, and there is nothing for them to do, unlike the countryside.

If you live in the countryside, there are endless things to do throughout the year. Children have been working in the fields with their parents since they were young, or at home with their grandparents, cooking and collecting firewood, busy with things, and sensible at a young age.

But in the city, there are not so many things to do. Parents who work, most of the children not only go to school, but also go out to play with the friends in the courtyard during the holidays.

It is unrealistic for them to be busy at home like rural children, and there is not much they can do.

But now, during the days when his parents are away, Xu Qing can clearly feel that the three little guys have all grown up a lot.

Although there is no change in terms of age, mentally and in terms of their behavior, they are completely different.

Especially the second brother Xu Aiguo, just now Xu Qing saw him pouring hot water for the third brother and the little girl and urging them to wash their feet.

This alone was something that had never happened half a year ago.

In the past, when there were adults at home, Xu Qing didn't have to worry about these things, and Xu Aiguo certainly didn't have to worry about them.

Whether life is good or not, whether it is difficult or not, for them, with their parents around, the sky will not collapse.

But now, they seem to have gradually understood that without the support of their parents, their eldest brother now has to shoulder the responsibility alone.

Although Xu Aiguo is in the rebellious grade, after half a year of misfortune, the budding rebellious heart has long since faded away.

Xu Qing felt that his second brother was already like an adult and could take care of his younger brothers and sisters when he was not in the house.

For a moment, Xu Qing was indescribably relieved and happy.

Turning around, I saw my second brother carefully walking out of the kitchen with the food in hand.That serious look made Xu Qing's heart warm again.

Xu Qing hurriedly walked over, took the dishes from his second brother's hands, and put them on the table.

The dishes had been placed in the pot before and were very hot. The little guy had been holding back just now. Now he kept blowing on his fingers, which seemed to be burned.

Xu Qing stretched out his hand to touch Xu Aiguo's little head, and there was an unspeakable smile on his face, which could not be mixed with relief or wry smile.

Originally, the little girl and third brother Xu Fengming were going to wash their feet, but at this moment they all wiped their feet clean and ran to elder brother Xu Qing.

The family is well-educated. When others are eating, they are not allowed to do indecent things.

Xu Fengming is still a little younger, and the little girl is even younger, but their parents' education since childhood has been engraved in their ears and minds.

At this moment, Xu Fengming took the apples that Xu Qing had given him when he came back in the afternoon, took them from the kang to the stove, placed them next to the stove cover, and baked them.

The little girl stuck to Xu Qing's side, with her hands on the table, tilting her little head, watching Xu Qing eat.

Xu Aiguo helped his elder brother pour an enamel jar of hot water and brought it over.

The house is warm and cozy, but the snow in the courtyard outside is still falling, quietly, falling quietly from the dark night
