Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 523 Brother-in-law, we are all one family

Xu Damao's words are not unreasonable.

Xu Qing can understand.

Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and the three stewards went to the street office to retrieve the banner from the compound. No matter what the reason was, it cannot be said that they did not have any merit.

No matter what, the hard work is still there.

So he didn't let Shazhu break up with Xu Damao.

In the stove set up in the house, the briquettes were burning so brightly that the outside of the stove turned red. Silly Zhu rolled his eyes at Xu Damao, looked at Xu Qing's face, swallowed the words on his lips, and let go for the time being.

Yan Bugui turned his eyes behind the lenses twice and said to smooth things over:

"What Sha Zhu said is actually right. Lao Yan, Lao Yi, I, and we three will be the stewards of our compound. The Jinqi Street Office can provide support, mainly to Xiao Qing, Ai Guo, and Feng Ming. The three of us are very capable. I just went there to get it, it’s nothing.”

Xu Damao held a cigarette in his mouth and glanced at Yan Bugui secretly.

Silly Zhu said nothing and turned around to tease Xu Hongzhi.

Yi Zhonghai wanted to say something, but he thought for a while and finally said nothing.

He was puffing on a cigarette in his bangs. When Yan Bugui finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai did not answer. He wanted to give himself a sense of presence. After all, he was also the steward of the compound and was from the backyard. He cleared his throat, held the cigarette in his hand and said:

"Xiao Qing, this banner was given to our compound by the street office, but I think it is most suitable to hang it in your home. Your third uncle also said just now that the street office can give it to you, mainly because you three brothers have ability."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai nodded loudly and said: "Old Liu's idea is good. Today, people from basically every family in our compound came to Xiaoqing. In my opinion, if no one has any different opinions, the banner will be Stay in Xiaoqing's house from now on."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he said to Yan Bugui:

"Lao Yan, what are you talking about?"

In fact, Yan Bugui hoped that the banner would be in his front yard, preferably in his house.

But Liu Haizhong proposed, and Yi Zhonghai agreed. Since he was the third uncle, it was hard to have any objections. He smiled and said:

"I have no opinion."

And the third aunt, first aunt, and second aunt all said this when they heard their respective heads.

It is impossible to break up the trouble.

As for Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, as well as Xiaodang, Banggan, Sophora japonica, and Qin Jingru, they looked at each other. Qin Huairu represented her family:

"The first uncle and the third uncle have no objection, and my family has no objection either."

Silly Zhu and Xu Damao, one with his head facing to the left and the other with his head facing to the right, nodded in agreement.

No one from the Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu families came, and no one cared whether they had any opinions.

In fact, their family and Yan Jie came as a couple, and no one wanted to see them.

Yan Jiecheng, who is both a member of the younger generation in the hospital, is not doing well. He has worked for many years and has yet to leave the workshop. Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu have also shown no improvement.

Silly Zhu became the canteen director of Factory No. 3. Although Xu Damao only had the title of cadre, he was also transferred to work in a movie theater.

But in comparison, Yan Jiecheng and Liu Guangtian still had to be forced, and Liu Guangfu was much better.

The three Xu Qing brothers, Aiguo and Feng Ming, are the factory directors. Although Feng Ming will only temporarily manage the old hardware factory for him this year, everyone knows that Feng Ming will officially take office after next year.

Xu Qing has now cut ties with the factory. Whether it is the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant No. 3 or the Red Star Steel Rolling Plant No. 5, he has nothing to do with it. He is doing business on his own and is self-reliant.

However, everyone in the compound felt like Ming Jing, and the one they couldn't ignore the most was Xu Qing.

Aiguo and Fengming are able to reach today, achieve their current achievements, and become factory directors, all because of the foresight of Xu Qing, the eldest brother.

If Xu Qing had not sent his two younger brothers to school, the situation would not be what it is now.

As for the banner, no one objected, so it was settled.

Aunt Feng had already brought back the roast duck that Xu Xiaoya had brought back, and put it into the kitchen pot to heat up.

At this time, the aroma of roast duck floated out of the kitchen along the cracks in the pot lid and poured into the front room.

Yan Bugui took a sniff and felt greedy in his heart.

These days, anyone living in the city can afford meat, and the price has barely risen, even though the supply is still limited.

But compared to previous years, when I only dared to eat a little every month, now, everyone in the compound can afford to eat every week.

Yan Bugui hugged his granddaughter Niu Niu, who was already drooling when she smelled the fragrance. He glanced sideways at his wife and opened his mouth:

"Xiaoqing, today is the weekend. If I remember correctly, you, Aiguo, Fengming, Xiaoya, your four siblings are going to have dinner together. Your third aunt and I will go back first."

After saying that, Yan Bugui stood up from the edge of the kang, took his granddaughter, and led the third aunt out of the house.

Upon seeing this, Yi Zhonghai, his aunt, and Qin Huairu's family also left with Yan Bugui and his wife.

Liu Haizhong rubbed his neck and saw Lao Yan, Lao Yi and the Jia family. About ten people from the three families had left. He stood up hurriedly and greeted the second aunt, Xu Damao and his wife, Sha Zhu, Xu Qing, Jing Hong, Ai Guo, Feng Feng. After Mingxian said a few words, he went out into the cold, dark room.

Within three minutes, everyone in the compound left.

Xu Qing asked Jinghong to help Aunt Feng quickly pack dinner.

Aiqian, Xiujuan, who had just coaxed her son who was not yet half a year old to sleep, and sister-in-law Xiaoya also entered the kitchen to help.

Xu Qing and his younger siblings have never been unhappy.

As the eldest sister-in-law, Jinghong and her two sisters-in-law never blushed, even if they disagreed on some things, even if they each thought they were right.

We still get along very harmoniously.

Unlike the wives of brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu who lived together in the backyard, they quarreled, bickered, and got physical from time to time.

Whether it is Jing Hong, Ai Qian, or Xiu Juan, they are all people who have read books and will not tit for tat with each other because of trivial matters.

Not to mention the fact that we had a huge quarrel over trivial matters.

However, after getting along for a long time, it is inevitable that there will be some conflicts.

But if you have culture, you need to be relatively peaceful when solving problems, and you should be humble to each other.

In addition, there are Xu Qing, Aiguo, and Feng Ming who mediate in the middle.

The three of them like their sister-in-law Xiaoya very much.

There was no conflict with Xu Xiaoya.

First, after Xu Xiaoya got married, she rarely came back throughout the year, except for weekend nights and holidays.

Secondly, when Jinghong gave birth to Hongzhi and Qiaoxin, Xu Xiaoya helped her sister-in-law.

Xu Xiaoya also helped Liu Aiqian and Tang Xiujuan when they gave birth to children and during confinement.

Therefore, the three of them, who are sisters-in-law, respect their own men and treat their sister-in-law as their own sisters.

The dinner was served on the hot kang in the front room, and the whole family sat together to eat dinner.

Liu Jianjun poured the five-star Maotai he brought today into the wine cup. Xu Qing remembered that he was still carrying the Coca-Cola and chocolate that Silly Zhu had forced on him at the door of the Friendship Store in the morning, so he reached out and took them out. Xu Hongzhi stared with joy on his face.

Knowing it was delicious, he held his chopsticks and looked at it non-stop, and said happily to his father:

"Dad, Uncle He really didn't lie to me. He told me at noon that you would bring me delicious food when you come back in the evening. It's true!"

Xu Aiguo frowned slightly and said to his elder brother: "Brother, isn't this what Brother Yuzhu bought at the Friendship Store today?"

Xu Qing smiled and nodded.

Xu Fengming continued: "It's true, Brother Yuzhu, he managed to get some foreign exchange coupons by himself, and he didn't even say that he saved them, but he actually bought all these things for Yuzhu, his uncle."

Xu Qing ignored his son Hongzhi and couldn't wait to get the chocolate and cola from his side. He looked at his third brother and said:

"Feng Ming, when Jianjun and Xiaoya have a child, you, as my uncle, will probably buy more things than Brother Shazhu."

Xu Fengming grinned, glanced at his sister and brother-in-law, nodded his head and said:

"That's for sure. Xiaoya and Jianjun came back with wine and roast duck just for me today. How can I not buy some good things for their children in the future?"

Xu Xiaoya listened, with a hint of shyness on her pretty face, and felt very happy in her heart.

Liu Jianjun poured the wine, took out his cigarette, handed it to Xu Qing, and then hurriedly said to Feng Ming:

"Third brother, Xiaoya and I have a child. We will buy some delicious food ourselves when the time comes. You, eldest brother, and second brother don't have to worry."

Xu Fengming raised his hand and put it on Jianjun's shoulder and said:

"Brother-in-law, we are all a family. You and Xiaoya will have a child in the future. Isn't it my nephew? It's not a matter of bothering or not. These words are commonplace. You are not allowed to say them again. I will punish you with a drink."

Two old people sat in the middle. After wearing hearing aids, their hearing has improved. With dim eyes, they looked at their grandchildren and grandson-in-law. They were enjoying themselves, talking and laughing, and they were very happy.

at the same time.

In the courtyard outside the house, the night was dark and the cold was so thick that the freezing people couldn't stay at all.

Liu Guangtian, who had not been to Xu Qing's house before, walked into Liu Guangfu's house with a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head in the direction of his parents' house and said:

"Our parents came out of Xu Qing's house, do you know?"

Liu Guangfu's wife was lying on the bed, cracking melon seeds, and didn't even ask anything about Liu Guangtian, her eldest brother.

"Brother, if you want to drink water, pour it yourself."

Liu Guangfu had a weak temper. He pointed to the thermos and teapot and then said, "I saw our parents returning to the house."

Liu Guangtian hummed, "I was standing at the door of my house just now when I heard that guy Si Zhu say that the banner that the street office gave to our compound today was left at Xu Qing's house by our dad, Yi Zhonghai, and Yan Bugui. You No ideas?"

Liu Guangfu held the fire hook, dug out the ashes and said:

"Second brother, tell me first what you think?"

Liu Guangtian flicked the cigarette ashes out of his hand and said disdainfully:

"I don't even want that piece of shit."

Liu Guangfu glanced at Liu Guangtian and knocked the fire hook on the stove:

"Second brother, it's boring for you to come over and ask me what I think, but you say you don't care about it yourself."

Liu Guangtian pulled up a chair and sat down, crossed his legs, patted his trouser legs and said:

"A broken banner, I wonder what it does!"

When Liu Guangfu saw his second brother saying that the grapes were sour because he couldn't eat them, he sneered in his heart and asked:

"Then second brother, come over here and ask me what I think and what I want to say?"

Liu Guangtian threw away his cigarette butt and said, "If you have nothing to do, come here and take a look around, can't you?"

Liu Guangfu didn't say a word, lowered his head and continued to pick out the ashes, muttering in a low voice: "Okay, please come inside, what can I say."

When Liu Guangtian heard this, his face turned cold, he stood up and was about to leave.

Liu Guangfu said directly: "Second brother, I won't send you away. You go back to your place and tell your son not to pee on the wall of my house again. My wife says it smells bad every time she goes out."

Liu Guangtian turned his head and looked at his third brother coldly. Without saying a word, he opened the door, slammed it, and walked out behind closed doors.

Then he stood in the courtyard, shrank up, thought for a while, turned around and walked out of the backyard, passed through the middle courtyard, and went to Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li's house.

At this time, in the front yard, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li were whispering in their own room.

"Daughter-in-law, do you think Qingzi is still angry with us because of what happened last time?" After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he added, "That guy Liu Jianjun actually showed off to me tonight."

Yu Li was sitting on the bed helping her daughter comb her hair. When she heard Yan Jiecheng's words, she hummed:

"Otherwise? Why do you think Qingzi, Jinghong, Xiaoya and Na Jianjun were unwilling to say a word to us when they were in our front yard?"

Yan Jiecheng crossed his legs, sat on the edge of the bed, twisted his body and said, "Then what should we do? We can't just continue the stalemate like this with Qingzi and his family."

Yu Li held the newly popular plastic comb and said:

"I don't know if your parents went to Xu Qing's house in the backyard tonight. You go and ask them. Your dad is the third master of our compound. He is very good at calculating. You ask him to give you advice."

After hearing Yu Li's words, Yan Jiecheng lay on his back on the bed, stretched out his hand to touch his daughter and said:

"Forget it. If I go to my parents, I will only get criticized. It's not as good as our daughter's."

"Yan Jiecheng, take your paw away. I'll comb Niu Niu's hair. Don't tease her."

Yan Jiecheng let go of his daughter's soft little hand and thought of the two bottles of Five Star Moutai that Xu Xiaoya carried back to the courtyard at night. He couldn't help but smack his mouth and said:

"Daughter-in-law, Xiaoya came back tonight and got those two bottles of wine. Did you see it? Maotai, eight yuan a bottle."

"What, are you hungry? If you can, go to Xu Qing's house in the backyard and have a drink."

Yan Jiecheng rolled over, lying on the bed and said, "Greedy, a bottle of wine costs eight yuan. If it were you, wouldn't you want to drink it?"

Yu Li said angrily: "Yan Jiecheng, look at your little fortune, eight yuan of wine is enough. There are dozens of foreign exchange coupons for a bottle of foreign wine in the Friendship Store. If you have the ability, you can earn some money for your family and buy Bring back a few bottles of foreign wine and show it to everyone in the courtyard, so that I can follow you and look bright."

Yan Jiecheng sighed. He had only ten foreign exchange coupons in total, and they were all in one piece.

How can I afford to buy foreign wine?

He turned sideways to hook up the pillow when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Yan Jiecheng hurriedly sat up from the bed and asked, "Who is it?"

"Yan Jiecheng, I, Guangtian."

Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li met each other. Neither of them opened the door, but said through the door:

"Liu Guangtian, it's so late. If you want anything, we'll talk about it tomorrow."

"It's not nine o'clock yet. We're going to bed now. Can you guys sleep?" Liu Guangtian stood outside the Meridian Gate, shivering, and raised his hand to knock again.

Yan Jiecheng was too lazy to open the door, so he asked his daughter to let him go and open the door. Yu Li glared fiercely, grabbed her daughter and refused to let her go, and opened her mouth and said:

"If you want to open the door, go there yourself. I haven't finished combing my daughter's hair yet."

Yan Jiecheng put his hands behind his head and said:

"Liu Guangtian, my wife and I are already lying in bed. You can talk about anything outside."
