Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 63
When the snow stopped, Xu Qing wrapped his padded jacket tightly, stepped on the snow on the ground, and went out to the gate of the factory.

After the snow fell for a day, it suddenly stopped. The cold wind was still lingering, and the sky was still not bright. It was gloomy, as if it was not full of fun.

Last month, when it had not yet snowed, Xu Qing came out of the workshop and could see the end of the sky in the distance, with the afterglow of winter quietly fading away.

But at this time, the entire sky was gray, and nothing could be seen, and the figure of the sun did not appear from morning till night.

Only the cold northwest wind kept the place in a bad mood all day long.

Fortunately, at this time, it is gradually subsiding.

When Xu Qing walked to the factory gate, Shazhu and Qin Huairu chased him from behind.

Today, things related to Xu Qing are spreading everywhere in the factory. There are hundreds of workers, both male and female. Although not everyone knows Xu Qing, when they talk about it, they all talk clearly and seem to be very familiar with Xu Qing.

Of course, if it was someone else, it might still cause such a heated discussion in the factory.

And the envy revealed in the words is naturally self-evident.

After all, Xu Qing received 40 yuan today, of which 20 yuan was for saving people. The other party expressed his gratitude for the gift, but the other 20 yuan was a reward for Xu Qing from the factory director.

Xu Qing didn't expect this, but having 40 yuan is a good thing. At least, life will be relatively easier for the time being.

Although various kinds of tickets have not increased at all, it is still impossible to buy things from the supply and marketing cooperative without tickets and money, but Xu Qing has the ability to split in two, so there is no need to worry about this.

What's more, Xu Qing got a lighter the night before. Adding it up, he got a lot of things with little effort.

It's just that for the poverty of this era, it can only be said to be a drop in the bucket, and it cannot be alleviated in essence.

Xu Qing wasn't too excited about this windfall, after all, it was only a solution to urgent needs. On the surface, it was indeed good, but if it gave rise to lazy thoughts, it would be a disaster instead.

People can be poor, but they cannot be short-sighted.

Xu Qing was a man of two generations and had already seen many things thoroughly.

If you are complacent because of this little money, you can't say it is wrong, but it will not be a blessing for the future.

Xu Qing stopped and waited for Shazhu and Qin Huairu.

After the two came to the side, the three went back to the compound together.

Silly Zhu looked very happy, his face was full of radiance, and the reason was that Xu Qing not only showed his face for the factory today, but also showed his face for everyone working in the factory in the compound.

Same as yesterday, Shazhu was holding a net bag in his hand again, which contained two lunch boxes, and put his right hand in the trouser pocket of his cotton trousers, pulling the rope that tied the net bag, and the net bag kept shaking as he walked.

The snow stepped on the feet, making a crisp sound, not like a hard clicking sound after being frozen all night.

Qin Huairu walked on Xu Qing's left, with his hands in the pockets of his cotton-padded jacket, and glanced at Xu Qing from the corner of his eyes from time to time, his eyes full of envy.

Xu Qing saved people and did good deeds, but if she couldn't do it, she could only envy him.

If it really happened to her, I'm afraid she will become someone who needs to be saved instead.

What Qin Huairu envied even more was that Xu Qing got 40 yuan, which was definitely a lot of money for them who were still apprentices but had not become regular workers, and could cover one and a half months' salary.

Qin Huairu wanted to borrow something several times, but she was still too embarrassed to say so.

There are three younger brothers and sisters in Xu Qing's family. No need to say much about their parents' absence.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon, and there is no shortage of places to spend money compared to her family.

What's more, at this moment, Sha Zhu was still babbling on to Xu Qing non-stop, saliva flying in his mouth, and his expression was very excited.

Qin Huairu sighed in her heart and gave up secretly.

I thought that in a few days, if I couldn't borrow money from Yi Zhonghai's family, I would have to borrow money from Sha Zhu.

In any case, Shazhu's salary is higher than that of her and Xu Qing, and there is only He Yushui, a younger sister in the family, and she is not married yet, so she can always have more money.

There are many pedestrians on the street, all rushing home after get off work. The vendors on both sides of the road are still setting up stalls and shouting while taking advantage of the fact that it is not snowing.

The originally pure white snow had already become filthy under the trampling of everyone, and was beyond recognition.

Xu Qing listened to Sha Zhu's words and responded twice from time to time. It was really difficult to continue.

But seeing that Sha Zhu was talking with great enthusiasm and was not afraid of the cold, he didn't stop him.

Back at the entrance of the alley, Sha Zhu took out the lunch box from the net pocket, gave one to Xu Qing, and handed the other to Qin Huairu.

Then he rolled the net bag into a ball and stuffed it into his cotton trouser pocket.

Xu Qing and Qin Huairu looked at each other and thanked Shazhu.

Shazhu opened his mouth, bared his teeth, and said with a chuckle:

"Forget about seeing outside, they are all in the same courtyard. My sister is not at home, so I can't eat them when I take them back. If it wasn't for Xu Qing today, I wouldn't be able to bring back these good things."

Of course, it wasn't Xu Qing, the editor-in-chief of the workers' newspaper would definitely not come to the factory today, and neither would Sha Zhu, who would give them the opportunity to cook alone.

While talking, the three of them stepped into the courtyard.

When passing through the front yard, Shazhu took a special look at the door of the third master Yan Bugui's house. Seeing that Yan Bugui's bicycle was not there, he knew he hadn't come back, and his face showed a little disappointment.

In the compound, Yan Bugui didn't work in the factory, so he didn't know what happened in the factory today.

Silly Zhu couldn't control his mouth, so he naturally wanted to talk to the third master and show off.

Although the matter had nothing to do with him, Silly Zhu couldn't hide his words. He wanted to use a loudspeaker to tell everyone in the world about this good thing.

Just seeing that Yan Bugui was not there, Shazhu shrank and followed Xu Qing and Qin Huairu through the front yard and back to the middle yard.

At this time, in Jia's house in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang's body was leaning against the door of the house.

Seeing Silly Zhu coming back, a smile immediately appeared on his face.

But after seeing Silly Zhu's empty hands, the smile he showed immediately dissipated.

However, after catching a glimpse of the lunch box in Qin Huairu's hand, Jia Zhang's smile that had just subsided appeared again.

When Xu Qing saw this, he immediately thought of what happened early in the morning and guessed that Sha Zhu must have given another lunch box to the Jia family when he came back from get off work yesterday.

Otherwise, with Jia Zhang's temperament, how could he greet Sha Zhu with a smile.

"Aunt Jia, today Xu Qing gave our compound the face of our factory manager!"

Shazhu didn't catch Yan Bugui, the third master in the front yard, so he started talking to Jia Zhangshi right now.

He spoke and gestured in detail.

Jia Zhang still hated Xu Qing in her heart, and was shocked when she heard what Sha Zhu said.

Although there was no change in expression on his face, his heart was filled with mixed feelings and he was secretly shocked.

Jia Zhang hurriedly turned her head to look at Xu Qing's back.

At this time, Xu Qing had already passed through the crescent gate of the middle courtyard and the backyard, and returned to the backyard.
