Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 74 Who doesn't want to eat something good

Xu Qing didn't stop Xu Damao's proposal just now, let alone help his third brother Xu Fengming.

With their parents gone, they have to learn to do things slowly and become independent.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing couldn't take care of them for the rest of his life.

The little girl followed behind Xu Fengming, holding a diabolo in her hand, and saw her third brother, who was so powerful today, blinked her small eyes, showing a look of admiration.

He hurriedly walked forward and pushed the door open.

Standing in the courtyard, Xu Qing saw that the little guy was still strong, so he smiled knowingly, reached out and took out a cigarette from his body, and handed one to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao leaned on his bicycle, looked at Xu Fengming with Xu Qing, and said with a smile:

"Qingzi, the third child in your family is fine and promising!"

Xu Qing smiled, but didn't respond, but was quite happy in his heart.

Standing in the courtyard, Xu Qing chatted with Xu Damao, thanked Xu Damao, and then walked back into the house.

At this time, the little guy had already carried the noodles to the kitchen. When Xu Qing entered the room, he saw Xu Fengming lying on Kang Yan'er, gasping for breath, obviously tired.

But it's normal.

After all, children living in cities are different from those in rural areas. The environment is different, resulting in considerable differences in cognition and all aspects.

Rural children, whose parents are busy farming, know how to help the family from an early age.

Pulling oxen to plow the field, gathering firewood, cooking fire, herding sheep, oxen, cutting wheat when the wheat is ripe, pushing carts, pulling carts, everything is good.

But there is no such thing in the city. People in the city have no land to grow. Parents usually go to work, so the children naturally have nothing to do.

Besides, as far as Xu Fengming is concerned, with Xu Qing as the eldest brother and second brother Xu Aiguo at the front, even if there is something to do, it will be light and light when it is his turn.

But today, Xu Fengming did some physical work for the family.

Xu Qing walked up to him, touched his third brother's head, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's nothing, just my arms are a little sore."

Xu Fengming turned around, grinned, and said to his elder brother Xu Qing with a grin.

When Xu Qing heard this, he smiled slightly and let the little guy continue to rest. He took off his scarf, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen.

At this moment in the kitchen, the second younger brother Xu Aiguo has been lighting a fire in front of the stove, heating steamed buns.

Xu Qing saw white steam rising from the pot, lifted the lid of the pot and took a look. The steamed buns were already hot, so he hurriedly washed and chopped the vegetables.

Xu Aiguo sat on the bench in front of the stove, helping his elder brother peel the onions and garlic.

As for the noodles that Xu Fengming carried into the kitchen, they were piled up next to the noodle urn.

Xu Qing received his salary today and bought noodles and meat, so he wanted to make a good meal for the little ones to eat.

The cabbage was cut in half, and the small piece of meat left over from last time was kept uneaten. Xu Qing took it out from the cupboard and cut it into shreds.

As for the three catties of pork bought today, when Xu Aiguo, his second brother, went to the front room, Xu Qing used his ability to divide it into two.

Three catties became six catties, and I didn't have to buy them again years ago.

In fact, Xu Qing didn't have any meat tickets on him right now. When he got off work in the afternoon and bought meat at the supply and marketing agency, he even used the meat tickets that were distributed.

One is that I seized the opportunity today and finally bought meat. Naturally, I bought enough meat at one time. Anyway, it’s winter, so it’s not afraid of damage if it’s kept in the house.

Secondly, Xu Qing was mainly worried that he would not be able to buy meat before the Chinese New Year.

After all, in these years, supplies are already very tight, and the supply of pork is even more in short supply. Moreover, as the Chinese New Year is approaching, every household will order some meat to go home more or less, and the meat supply will naturally become more and more tight.

Qin Huairu also went to the supply and marketing cooperative before, and when Xu Qing was buying meat, he saw half a piece of pork.

As a result, when he and Xu Damao waited for Qin Huairu to come out, in just a few minutes, half a fan of pork was snatched away.

Qin Huairu didn't even mention buying a tael of meat, not even pig tails.

No way, after paying wages, who doesn't want to eat something good.

Xu Qing grabbed the portion of pork, cut half a catty off, and put the rest away.

Then, holding the kitchen knife, slowly cut the less than half a catty of pork into shreds.

And at the same time.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong also came back from the supply and marketing cooperative carrying their things.

They bought many kinds, but not too many.

The two of them were able to buy meat today because of Xu Qing's credit, otherwise, Yi Zhonghai would not have been able to squeeze in close.

As soon as Liu Haizhong entered the backyard, he asked the second aunt to scoop a bowl of noodles from the flour pocket and return it to the third grandfather's house in the front yard.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong bought not only noodles, but also pork, eggs, etc., the second aunt's face burst into joy, she turned around and took out a bowl, scooped a bowl of white noodles in her noodle pocket, and twisted her body Just carried it and walked towards the front yard.

The sky had darkened at this time, and darkness slowly enveloped the earth. However, because there had been no snow in the past two days, the snow in the courtyard had melted a lot, and the stars had hung in the night sky again.

Although it is not very bright, it indicates that tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Xu Qing was busy in the kitchen at the moment, taking out the steamed buns from the pot, scooping up the boiling water at the bottom of the pot, grabbing a piece of fat meat, throwing it into the pot, refining the oil, and preparing for cooking.

The three little ones ran into the kitchen to help. Xu Aiguo took the hot buns to the front room, and Xu Fengming bent down to get the dishes from the cupboard.

The little girl held a large plate with both hands, and stood by the stove, waiting for the elder brother to fry the vegetables before taking them to the front room.

Ten minutes later, Xu Qing and the three little ones sat on the kang in the front room and had a hot dinner.

Today, there are many households in the courtyard that eat meat. The Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yanbu Gui families all also eat meat.

Although the third master Yan Bugui doesn't work in the factory, there is only two or three days' difference between the day when his school pays his salary and the time in the factory.

And the third master, who is good at planning, eats meat every month, and waits for everyone who works in the compound and the factory. When they are paid, they buy meat together and eat together, neither early nor late.

The main reason is that I am afraid that my family will be jealous of eating meat, and I am also afraid that my children will be envious of other people's families.

But Jia's house didn't eat meat today.

Qin Huairu didn't even buy it, so naturally she couldn't eat it.

Jia Zhang smelled the smell of meat all over the yard, and couldn't help complaining to Qin Huairu again.

Sticking his chopsticks, sticking to the dishes that didn't have any fishy taste, he kept crying, making the little guy who had a good meal start to yell too.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt tired. It wasn't that she didn't want to buy it, but that there were so many people that she didn't have a chance.

After eating two mouthfuls of cornbread mixed with flour, Qin Huairu put down his chopsticks, went outside, and was about to go to Shazhu's house, and asked Shazhu if he went to the state-run store to buy meat today.

If you have any, just borrow some. The provincial Jia Zhang is always in your ear, nagging me.
