Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 511 Brother-in-law will have a drink with you

"Brother Qingzi"

Ma Jiefang just parked his bicycle outside the door of Xu Qing's house, shouted, and smelled the aroma of food wafting from the house. He followed Wu Yuemei, who was holding the child, and stepped into the house. He saw Shazhu and Xu Damao. While having dinner with Xu Qing's family, he put his hand on Xu Damao's shoulders and sat down, turning to say hello to Xu Qing's grandparents.

Then he smiled at Xu Qing and Jing Hong and said:

"Brother-in-law, Fifth Sister, I have guessed today that Feng Ming is moving back to your hospital. You two must not have gotten up early to go to the grain station and meat factory."

Ma Jinghong glanced at her younger brother, ignored her, and said to Wu Yuemei, who was holding the child:

"Yuemei, have you and your child eaten at home? If you haven't eaten, have some."

Wu Yuemei hugged her one-year-old son and said:

"Sister Jinghong, my child and I went out after eating. You guys eat your food, so don't worry about us."

Ma Jiefang had just taken out his cigarette and spread it around. Hearing his fifth sister's words, he hurriedly said:

"Fifth sister, I am your biological brother, why don't you ask me?"

"You are so big, how can you be hungry?"

Ma Jiefang choked and snorted: "Fifth sister, you have only been married to Brother Qingzi for about ten years, and you no longer have a brother like me in your heart. Fortunately, when I came here, you told our mother that you love me the most. Go back." I will report it and say that you are no longer treating me as well as your neighbors."

Ma Jinghong broke off half of the meat roll in her hand and handed it to her nephew Ma Xiaojun without further arguing with her brother.

Seeing this, Xu Qing turned sideways towards Ma Jiefang and said:

"Your sister didn't ask you, but brother-in-law, I asked, have you eaten?"

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette and said with a grin: "Brother Qingzi, it's too late for you to ask. I've already eaten at home."

Xu Qing smiled and continued to eat the meat roll in his hand.

Silly Zhu held his chopsticks, leaned forward, passed Xu Damao and said to Ma Jiefang:

"Jiefang, why are you here? Qingzi, Aiguo, Xu Damao and the people from our hospital have all moved things for Feng Ming before we eat."

Ma Jiefang let out a cry, opened his eyes wide, turned to look at Xu Fengming and said:

"Feng Ming, you won't move with your wife at dawn, right?

Before I came here, I was thinking that if I came here after nine o'clock in the morning, I should be able to help you move your things in time.

As a result, you have already finished moving your things.

If I had known earlier, I would have come over here as soon as I got up this morning. "

Xu Fengming chewed the meat roll in his mouth, quickly swallowed it and said:

"It's okay, Brother Jiefang. Xiujuan and I haven't bought much in the past few years. My eldest brother, my second brother, my brother Yuzhu, and brother Damao can all handle it. Besides, this morning we The first man of the courtyard and the others also helped, and within two hours, all our things were moved into the courtyard."

Ma Jiefang scratched his head, a little embarrassed. He came here early in the morning specifically to help. After a moment of thought, he said:

"Well, Feng Ming, brother, I will go out to buy you two bottles of good wine later, as a way to congratulate you on your move to a new house today."

Xu Fengming smiled and nodded, "Brother Jiefang, then I would like to thank you and Sister Yuemei first."

Ma Jiefang raised his hand and said, "Hey, brother, I came here late today and couldn't help you."

The house became more lively with the arrival of Ma Jiefang's family.

There was some warmth in the courtyard now. The sun hung in the cloudless blue sky, shining down the dazzling sunlight.

The autumn wind is clean without any impurities, and there is nothing else except the coolness.

But as the sun slowly climbed up in the sky, the coolness that soaked the heart and mind also dissipated without a trace.

Xu Qing and Jing Hong finished breakfast and stayed in the house for a while, then pushed their motorcycles and bicycles to leave the compound and head towards the grain station and meat factory.

Fengming moving back is something to be happy about.

But the grain station and the meat processing factory still have to open today.

Especially the grain station has the most people and the best business on weekends.

Jinghong had to go.

I can't let my sister-in-law Xiaoya, Hui Lihua and the others support me.

As for the meat factory, pigs are killed every day, and in the grain station warehouse in front of it, Lao Wu and his workers process grain every day these days.

Er Mazi went to the countryside to collect pigs yesterday. He had to go to the warehouse to see if there were workers hiding inside and secretly smoking because of the cold weather in autumn.

As the boss, Xu Qing gave repeated orders that fireworks were prohibited in the warehouse.

But the problem is, some people still take chances.

It's inappropriate to smoke inside.

A few days ago, Er Mazi caught one. Xu Qing showed no mercy and fired him on the spot.

Just like firing that young man before.

Rules and regulations naturally have their purpose.

If smoking causes a dust explosion, it is not a trivial matter these days.

This has happened to several major state-owned flour mills in 49 cities.

There were heavy casualties and considerable losses.

There are lessons from the past, and there are many reports in newspapers.

However, the old smoker didn't take it seriously.

I always feel that if something doesn’t happen to me, then it doesn’t matter.

Xu Qing is determined to recruit a group of non-smoking workers.

It’s just that these days, there are very few people who don’t smoke.

Out of a hundred people, not even five could be found.

There was nothing we could do. When the country was first liberated, all walks of life in the country were in dire straits.

In order to stimulate economic development, tobacco has become the largest pillar industry.

The country calls for smoking, and almost everyone, men, women, and children has one in their hands.

Even if the ban is changed, tobacco is still the biggest lifeblood of economic development.

Many rural areas in the countryside still plant it every year.

Moreover, the cigarette factory is still expanding.

Its momentum can be said to be the fastest growing since the reform.

The reason is that the domestic economy is underdeveloped and other industries are developing slowly.

The only way to increase taxes is through tobacco, which has the fastest effect, and then feed back to all walks of life.

Under such circumstances, how could Xu Qing recruit non-smoking workers?

Also, smoking is the most popular means of communication these days.

Two people who don't know each other, meet for the first time, pass a cigarette, and look at the same brand, there is a common topic.

What's more, in recent years, different brands of cigarettes have been launched in China every year, and there are so many types of cigarettes.

TV, newspapers, and radio also introduce and promote it.

Even cultural workers who speak cross talk popularize it in performances.

The trend of the times is like this. Regardless of whether it is good or bad, it is definitely beneficial to a country that has just ended the 80s and is in urgent need of economic development.

Ma Jinghong left the compound first. Xu Qing said a few words to Feng Ming before pushing the motorcycle out of the compound.

The weather was fine. The second aunt and her two daughters-in-law were sitting in the courtyard, each washing their daughters-in-law.

Xu Hongzhi was wearing a military green coat and a small military cap. He was carrying an aluminum water bottle and slung it over his body while chasing him out of the house. Ignoring Ma Xiaojun who was following behind him, he ran to Xu Qing and said:

"Dad, I want to go to the meat factory with you today. I want to feed the pigs."

Xu Hongzhi straightened his small body, twisted the kettle on his body at an angle around his waist, and looked at his father expectantly.

Ma Xiaojun stood aside and said with a grin: "Uncle, I also want to go with Brother Hongzhi."

At this time, Ma Jiefang also came over, raised his hand and put his son Ma Xiaojun's head on his head and said:

"Didn't you say last night that you and your brother Hongzhi would do homework together today? If you want to go to the meat factory with your uncle, you should ask your mother first to see if she agrees."

Ma Xiaojun suddenly fell down, lowered his head, rubbed his nose with his hands and said nothing.

Xu Qing smiled, turned around and said to Hongzhi: "Don't go either. Xiaojun asked you to do homework together. You just stay at home. Your third uncle moved back today. If you have nothing to do, I will help your third uncle and your third uncle." Auntie, go wipe the table."

Xu Hongzhi said with a grimace, tilted his head to look at Ma Xiaojun, hugged his shoulders, shook his head and walked back into the house. Ma Jiefang licked the corners of his mouth that were a little chapped after autumn and said:

"Brother Qingzi, come back early in the afternoon. Feng Ming is moving back to your courtyard today. We have to have a good drink no matter what."

Xu Qing nodded in agreement, pushed the motorcycle, stood in the courtyard and chatted briefly with Ma Jiefang for a few words, then left the courtyard, straddled the motorcycle in the alley, and went out towards the entrance of the alley.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qing returned to the city early and headed back to the compound.

At the entrance of the alley, I met Liu Haizhong's two sons.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu nodded to him as a greeting.

Xu Qing slowed down and nodded.

Xu Qing and the two brothers had nothing to talk about since they were not strangers.

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also knew it in their hearts.

Their current situation is not enough to be on an equal footing with Xu Qing, let alone the qualifications to challenge him.

After all, the story of Yan Jiecheng's three brothers is still vivid in his mind.

How dare they provoke him? Besides, Feng Ming moved back to the compound today.

Liu Guangtian pricked his head again, but he still had good eyesight.

Liu Guangfu has been submissive since he was a child, and his temperament follows his bangs. Seeing that his second brother is silent, he also becomes silent.

Xu Qing turned the accelerator and arrived at the main entrance of the compound. He got off the car and pushed the motorcycle back to the courtyard.

Yan Jiecheng was in the front yard, holding a cigarette in his mouth and looking at the fallen leaves on the ground in a daze.

In the morning, Xu Fengming gave Shazhu, Xu Damao and everyone in the yard who helped move furniture a big front door.

Yan Jiecheng hid in the house with Yu Li in the morning and did not go out to help. He felt very regretful when he saw his father had a cigarette in the morning.

If he could have imagined that Xu Fengming would be so generous today, he would have helped move things.

But early in the morning, he didn't leave the house. Not to mention a cigarette, he didn't even get a cigarette.

How can I feel comfortable?

At a glance, he saw that Jian Qing had come back very early today. He rolled his eyes and thought for a while before saying:

"Qingzi, come and chat with me for a while, don't be in a hurry to go back to your backyard."

Xu Qing stopped, did not take the cigarette from Yan Jiecheng, and said directly:

"You have something to say."

When Yan Jiecheng saw Xu Qing not picking up the cigarette, he angrily put the cigarette back into the cigarette case, raised his hand and put it on Xu Qing's shoulder and said:

"Qingzi, you really can't blame me for what happened last month. It's all..."

As he spoke, Yan Jiecheng lowered his voice and whispered: "Yu Li's idea really has nothing to do with me."

Xu Qing smiled coldly in his heart, watching Yan Jiecheng say this to him behind Yu Li's back.

Secretly, Yan Jiecheng is worthy of being the son of the third uncle.

There are indeed many calculations and calculations.

"I know, is there anything else?"

Xu Qing turned sideways and asked.

Yan Jiecheng was startled for a moment, then came to his senses and said hurriedly: "There's nothing else to do. Your third brother Feng Ming is back today. He, Aiguo, Shazhu, and Xu Damao, Banggeng, are drinking with your brother-in-law. Please let me Just one piece."

Xu Qing said coldly: "You have legs on your own. If you want to go, I won't stop you."

Yan Jiecheng put the cigarette butt on the ground, twirled it with his toes, arched his body slightly, rubbed his hands and said:

"What happened last time, your brother-in-law Ma Jiefang beat me up in the factory. If you weren't in the courtyard, how could I dare to go there?"

Xu Qing raised his hand and said, "No, don't say that. My brother-in-law wants to beat you up. Even today, I may not be able to stop him."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he pushed the motorcycle, ignored the stunned Yan Jiecheng, and headed back to the backyard.

Yan Jiecheng stood in the front yard, thinking over and over again, knowing that he would not be able to drink today. He sat on the steps at the door of the house, staring at the withered yellow leaves in a daze alone.

But he was secretly thinking that he had to find a way to ease the relationship with Xu Qing.

If he keeps going like this, he will suffer a loss sooner or later.

The three Xu Qing brothers have all returned to live in the courtyard.

Xu Qing never let go of what happened last month.

If we were in the courtyard, we would have some conflicts and celebrate the holidays with Xu Qing's family.

He really couldn't eat it and walked away.

How can we not be on tenterhooks.

In the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang, Xiaodang and Sophora japonica were collecting quilts that had been drying for a day.

Yi Zhonghai held the vise and watched Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui fighting on the chessboard while repairing the weathered wooden ladder with iron wire.

When the three courtyard stewards saw Xu Qing, they all raised their heads and greeted him with a smile.

Xu Qing responded with a smile, walked through the middle courtyard and returned to the backyard without stopping.

At this time, the old lady's house in the backyard was regarded as Cheng Fengming's residence.

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao were drinking with Feng Ming, Ai Guo, Ma Jiefang and Bang Gen.

When Xu Qing heard the noise, he didn't push his bicycle towards the door of his house. Instead, he stopped directly in the yard, turned around and walked towards Feng Ming.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw Ma Jiefang smelling of alcohol and talking about how he repaired Yan Jiecheng's work in the factory last month.

"You haven't seen that the grandson of Yan Jiecheng was so angry that he didn't dare to breathe. No one in his workshop helped him. They all looked at me. I grabbed him by the collar and raised my hand to slap him with a big ear scraper. Damn it, hiding everywhere in the workshop."

Xu Qing listened to his brother-in-law's drunken talk, took the cigarette from Sha Zhu, sat in the seat vacated by Aiguo and Feng Ming, and said to Ma Jiefang:

"Did you punch Yan Jiecheng again in our courtyard today?"

Ma Jiefang blushed and said: "Brother Qingzi, you are back. When I came here in the morning, I stood in your front yard for a while. My wife and son were in front of me. How could I repair him? So I gave him a warning." A few words to tell him to pay attention in the future!"

Xu Qing groaned, took the lighter from his third brother Feng Ming, lowered his head and lit a cigarette.

If Ma Jiefang really made a move with Yan Jiecheng in the front yard today, he wouldn't think anything of it.

At most, they just want to make amends to the third uncle and his wife.

It was not convenient for him to take action to deal with it. A person in a large courtyard could not see him when he lowered his head but never looked up.

He took the words of Patriot and Feng Ming to make trouble with Yan Jiecheng.

Things will become troublesome, and it will be difficult to talk to the third uncle and the third aunt.

But if my brother-in-law Ma Jiefang, it will be different.

At most, his brother-in-law didn't stop him.

Just make amends and apologize.

People in the courtyard wouldn't say anything, they would just think that although Ma Jiefang's brother-in-law was wrong to hit someone, he was right, and he knew that it was understandable to protect his sister and brother-in-law.

But, that didn't happen.

Xu Qing didn't feel any pity either.

Anyway, Yan Jie became the three brothers, and both Yu Li and Yan were punished.

Ma Jiefang also repaired Yan Jiecheng at the No. 3 Red Star Steel Rolling Plant.

It gave him a long memory, and he was so scared that he didn't even dare to come to the backyard today.

Xu Qing took two puffs of cigarette, raised his head, picked up the cup filled with wine in Silhouette, and said to Ma Jiefang:

"Brother-in-law, come here, let me have a drink with you!"
