Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 64
In the backyard, the second aunt was at the door of the house, bent over with a broom, sweeping the snow in front of her house, saw Xu Qing, straightened up and said:

"Xu Qing, it's quite early to come back from get off work today, have you seen your second uncle?"

Holding the lunch box, Xu Qing shook his head: "I didn't see it, the second uncle is probably behind, I came back with Brother Shazhu and Sister Huairu."

The second aunt said oh and then continued to sweep the snow with the broom in hand.

Xu Qingze continued to walk back to his room.

As soon as he entered the room, Xu Qing saw the little girl and his third brother Xu Fengming, sitting on the bench and eating walnuts around the stove.

Seeing that her elder brother came back, the little girl hurriedly stood up and handed the freshly peeled walnuts to Xu Qing.

He grinned and said, "Brother, eat walnuts. My second brother, my second brother, and my third brother have exams in two days. We have no homework tonight!"

Xu Qing reached out and took the walnut kernel from the little girl's hand, broke it in half, ate half of it himself, and fed the other half to the little girl, then untied the scarf and asked, "Where is your second brother?"

"It's lighting a fire in the kitchen."

Xu Fengming just broke open a walnut, looked up at Xu Qing, and said hey:

"Second brother warmed up the steamed buns and the vegetables you left in the morning, and I'm waiting for the eldest brother to come back for dinner."

Xu Qing put the scarf on the table, and walked towards the kitchen with the lunch box that Sha Zhu gave him today.

The little girl hurriedly followed behind and also ran into the kitchen.

At this moment in the kitchen, Xu Aiguo was sitting on the bench, holding a book and reviewing, while staring at the fire.

The pot on the stove was steaming, and it seemed that the fire had been burning for a while.

Seeing that his eldest brother was back, Xu Aiguo hurriedly closed the book.

The little girl was chewing walnut kernels in her mouth. When she ran over just now, she took a large piece of freshly smashed walnuts from her third brother Xu Fengming and gave it to Xu Aiguo.

I don't know whether to let the second brother peel it for her?Or let Xu Aiguo eat it.

Xu Qing raised his hand to lift the lid of the pot, glanced into the pot, and then closed it.

Let the second brother take the little girl to the front room, and he will take care of the kitchen.

Xu Aiguo just stood up from the bench, put the book under his arm, and led the little girl to the front room.

Xu Qing bent down and looked at the fire on the stove, picked up the fire hook on the side and fiddled with it twice, then divided the meat and vegetables in the lunch box given by Silly Zhu today into two parts, and placed the separated ones on the chopping board near the window. The others were put into the pot.

The three little guys usually do their homework at this moment, but they are quiet, but today, without the constraints of homework, they are playing happily in the front room.

Xu Qing stretched out his hand to lift the curtain hanging on the door, looked at it, but didn't stop it.

The teacher didn't give homework anymore, and Xu Qing didn't want to hold on too tightly.

Taking advantage of this gap, Xu Qing took out the phone number left by Li Fenghong, the editor-in-chief of the workers' newspaper, out of his pocket, looked at it, and then put it close to him.

If there is an urgent matter in the future, maybe he can ask the other party for help, but Xu Qing doesn't hope that there will be such a day.

Then Xu Qing took out today's 40 yuan, and put it together with the dozens of yuan he got from food stamps and bicycle tickets before, and the dozen yuan he had accumulated before.

With this money, the family will not only not have to worry about the New Year, but also enjoy a good New Year comfortably.

As for the tuition fees for the three younger siblings for a whole year and two semesters next year, there is no need to worry.

In fact, without the 40 yuan, Xu Qing didn't have to worry about it.

Because the previous money was enough for the four of them to celebrate the New Year happily.

But with 40 yuan more, life will be better after all.

A few days later, when his younger siblings finished their final exams, Xu Qing decided to take some time to buy them two new clothes.

The three little ones are all in the stage of growing their bodies, and their previous clothes are already a little too short.

Even if you ask the first or second or third mother in the yard to change it, you can continue to wear it.

But it’s the New Year, and I still have to buy new clothes.

You can't welcome the New Year wearing patched clothes.

The fire from the stove was reflected on Xu Qing's face, forcing him to tilt his body slightly.

10 minute later.

Xu Qing called the three little ones into the kitchen, and the little girl took the bowls and chopsticks.Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming each held a bowl of food.

Xu Qing took the steamed buns out of the pot, put them in an enamel basin, brought them to the front room, took advantage of the boiling water at the bottom of the pot, beat an egg, chopped cabbage leaves, sprinkled them into the pot, and made it simply a soup.

After all, drinking boiled water every day is not a problem.

Sitting on the kang in the front room, Xu Qing ate a steamed bun and felt full.

Two bowls of meat dishes are for the three little ones to eat.

At noon today, Xu Qing was in the private room of the cafeteria, eating very full. Although he was a little cautious at the beginning, he gradually let go.

To seize such a good opportunity, it is natural to eat more.

At this time, Xu Qing watched the three little ones eating with gusto. He turned around and slipped off the kang, put on his shoes, went to the next room and brought four apples back, and put them next to the stove to keep warm.

At this time, Xu Damao opened the door and walked in. He rubbed his hands and saw that the three little ones were eating well.

He couldn't help smacking his mouth and said: "Hey, Qingzi, the food in your family is not bad tonight!"

Xu Qing shook out a cigarette, handed it to Xu Damao and said, "It's okay."

"Brother Da Mao, have you eaten, why don't you have some together."

Xu Damao shook his head, took the cigarette, walked to the stove, picked up the kettle, lit the cigarette butt in the stove, took a sip, patted his stomach proudly and said:
"Brother, I made a small fortune today. I went to a restaurant and ate pork and green onion dumplings."

Seeing Xu Damao's arrogant look, Xu Qing felt that it was him. This man's little life was really enjoyable.

But Xu Qing was not envious either. Although Xu Damao said he had a good life, he was the only one in his house, he was not married, and he had no brothers or sisters.

When Xu Qing saw Xu Damao coming over at this time, he knew that he was bored in the house and came over to visit, so he picked up the thermos bottle and poured a tea jar of hot water into it.

Xu Damao sat on the edge of the Kang, watching the three little ones eating, and said casually to Xu Qing:
"I heard that guy Si Zhu said, you have a lighter, let me take a look at it. I've been thinking about buying one for a while, but I can't get the tickets, so I'm a little worried."

Xu Qing frowned slightly, took out the lighter, and handed it to Xu Damao.

I secretly felt in my heart: Xu Damao was trying to get tickets and stuff from time to time, so he shouldn't be unable to get lighter tickets.There were no lighters or bicycles, and tickets for big items like radios were scarce.

It should be possible to get it easily.

It's just that since Xu Damao said he didn't get it, Xu Qing didn't ask.

Xu Qing didn't have the problem of inquiring about other people's affairs.

Xu Damao was sitting on the edge of the kang, playing with the lighter, which caused Xu Fengming to stretch his neck, chew the steamed buns in his mouth, puff up his cheeks, and came to him curiously.

I don’t understand what’s so fun about a lighter.

At this moment, Sha Zhu pushed open the door and walked in from outside the house.

Now Xu Qing's room became even more lively.
