Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 72 Getting Wages

Xu Qing pushed the door open and entered the room, and saw Ma Jiefang sitting on his kang, playing with the three little ones.

After closing the door, he put the net bag on the table, untied his scarf and asked:

"Liberation, when did you come?"

"When your factory is off work, I will come."

Xu Qing was a little surprised, and turned around to pour a glass of water for Ma Jiefang, but saw a tea mug on the kang head.

The younger brothers and sisters, who knew and understood, helped Ma Jiefang pour hot water early, so they gave up, reached out and took out a cigarette from the pocket of the cotton-padded jacket, and handed Ma Jiefang one. At the same time, he wanted to ask, what did he come to find himself today?
At this time, Xu Aiguo walked up to Xu Qing, stretched out his hand and pointed towards the kitchen, and whispered:
"Brother, Brother Jiefang sent white noodles to our family today."

Hearing what the second brother Xu Aiguo said, Xu Qing glanced at the kitchen, turned to look at Ma Jiefang and said:

"Jiefang, last time your Fifth Sister gave me white flour, which made me feel embarrassed to take it back. You today."

"Hey, it's just three or four catties of white flour, and it's nothing." Ma Jiefang waved his hand indifferently, and then said with joy on his face:

"Brother Qingzi, it's you. I heard from my dad what happened to your factory a few days ago. He said that you have a good reputation for your brave actions and saved people, tsk tsk."

After Ma Jiefang finished speaking enviously, he paused, as if thinking of something again, his face instantly collapsed.Scratching her hair, she said, "My Fifth Sister takes you and bullies me every day. If my mother hadn't asked me to give you white noodles today, I would probably still be tortured by her at home."

"And my mother." Ma Jiefang cried, "My mother used to always take your academic performance and blame me, but now, if you don't study, she starts to talk about your commendation in the factory, yes I chattered endlessly, and my ears were calloused by the words of the two of them."

Xu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and thought to himself, "Blame me."

The three little ones listened quietly, half understanding.

Of course, Xu Aiguo should have understood what was going on, but the little girl blinked her eyes as if she understood, but the corners of her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she was talking again, not fully understanding.

As for Xu Fengming, although he stays with the little girl obediently, his heart has already flown to the net pocket on the table.

He listened to Ma Jiefang's words, but didn't seem to listen. He went in his left ear and out his right ear, and his eyes kept glancing at the net pocket.

Xu Qing noticed the absent-minded look of his third brother, walked to the table, took out the huoshao and stewed dishes from the net bag, and asked the little ones to eat quickly.

At the same time, greet Ma Jiefang to eat together.

Anyway, there are a lot of ten fires, and steamed buns are still hot in the kitchen pot.

Although there are only four servings of stewed stew, it is no problem at all for five people to eat it evenly.

Besides, Xu Qing also brought out the pickled vegetables.

Originally, Xu Qing planned to use the ability of dividing into two to divide everything.

But the situation did not allow, so he gave up the idea.

After eating, Ma Jiefang and Xu Qing chatted for a while before getting up to go back.

Xu Qing saw that the courtyard was pitch black, and Ma Jiefang didn't ride a bicycle or take a flashlight today.

So Xu Aiguo took out his own flashlight and lent it to Ma Jiefang to illuminate the road.

After Xu Qing sent Ma Jiefang out of the compound, he saw Ma Jiefang holding the flashlight out of the alley and turning into the street, and then turned back.

The first thing Xu Qing did when he returned to the house was to divide the white noodles Ma Jiefang sent into two, pour them into the noodle urn, and then walked out of the kitchen.

Today is the last day the three little ones get up early.

Starting tomorrow, they will no longer have to go to school.

Xu Qing let the three little guys make trouble until 10:30 at night, then urged them to wash their feet and go to bed.

In the morning, after Xu Qing got up, he went out.

But in the middle courtyard, I didn't meet Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

So I went to the factory alone.

Before getting off work at noon, according to the past, it was the time to pay wages.

Xu Qing and Er Mazi were smoking, standing at the door of the workshop and looking at the big speakers in the factory, waiting to hear the news.

Lao Zhang sat in the workshop with his hands behind his back, smoking a cigarette, and waiting with others.

After being busy for a month, today is the day of salary payment, and everyone's heart is raised.

Some people have already started to figure out who should pay back the money after the salary is paid later.

More people are thinking that when they get off work in the afternoon, they have to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy noodles and oil. Otherwise, they will be late and they will not be able to grab anything.

Before finishing a cigarette, Xu Qing heard a voice coming from the loudspeaker.

Er Mazi suddenly looked excited and excited.

He put the cigarette butt on the ground and put it out, then said to Xu Qing: "Let's go and collect our wages!"

The wages in the factory are paid by workshop, one workshop after another.

Xu Qing is in the third workshop. Relatively speaking, he can get his salary early.

Therefore, Xu Qing didn't wait long in line, and took the 27 yuan salary into his hands.

In addition, I also received various tickets issued by the factory.

Er Mazi is a regular worker and his salary is higher than Xu Qing's, 35 yuan.

At this moment, he was standing aside, stained with saliva, counting the money one by one, waiting for Xu Qing.

Er Mazi saw Xu Qing's salary of 27 yuan, and lowered his head to look at the 35 yuan in his hand, and suddenly felt that he was very arrogant.

It can be seen that Lao Zhang paid more salary than he and Xu Qing combined.

Er Mazi wilted instantly.

However, Xu Qing didn't think about comparing wages. After all, the apprentice's wage of 27 yuan was the lowest in the whole factory, so there was no room for comparison.

Xu Qing also carefully counted the money, then put it on his body and put it away.

As soon as he got off work in the afternoon, Xu Qing rushed out of the workshop and ran towards the factory gate.

Everyone in the factory has been paid today. If they run too slowly, they may not even be able to squeeze through the door of the supply and marketing cooperative.

In terms of the supply and marketing cooperative's supplies, it is not said that there is too much shortage.

But today is different. Everyone has been paid and wants to buy things.

It's sure to sell out in no time.

If you go late, you can only make a trip for nothing.

For people with bicycles, riding a bicycle is one step faster.

But Xu Qing didn't have it right now, so he could only run on two legs.

He had obtained a bicycle ticket before, but he had no money to buy a bicycle and did not dare to buy one. He could only temporarily sell the ticket and exchange it for money.

When the wages are high in the future, I will find a way to get a ticket and buy one.

As for when, Xu Qing didn't think about it.

It's just that in the past one or two years, Xu Qing felt that he couldn't afford it.

The life at home has not been straightened out yet, and the three little ones still depend on him to study, and big things like bicycles can only be put away.

Xu Qing ran all the way, seeing the cold wind stabbing his cheeks like a knife, and ran to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative in one breath.

Then he gasped for breath.

Fortunately, at this time, there were not too many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, so Xu Qing squeezed in.

He took out the money, held the food coupons distributed in advance, and waved to the salesperson.
