Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 75 Borrowing Meat
There was no wind blowing in the courtyard at the moment, but the chill was still heavy, as if there was a big cold hand, and as night fell, Sijiucheng was firmly held in the palm of his hand.

Qin Huairu had to run. Although she was only a few steps away from Shazhu's door, she didn't want to stay in the courtyard for a second.

The lights in Shazhu's room were shining brightly, Qin Huairu looked up, and then quickly reached out to knock on the door.

The knock on the door sounded a little hurried in the cold and quiet courtyard, and the door was soon opened.

"Silly Zhu, did you go to the state-owned store to buy meat today?"

Qin Huairu saw Silhu and asked directly.

Silly Zhu scratched his head and said: "Yes, I went, but I didn't buy anything."

Qin Huairu froze for a moment, then frowned instantly.

She didn't expect that Shazhu couldn't buy meat in the state-run store, and she was a little surprised.

After all, Shazhu always said before that although the supply and marketing cooperatives are closer, they don't have as many things as the state-owned stores, nor do they have as many things there.He would rather travel a little more than make a trip to the supply and marketing cooperative for nothing.

But today, Shazhu not only made a trip to the state-run store for nothing, but also walked a lot.

Qin Huairu showed disappointment on his face, knowing that he couldn't borrow meat, he sighed, exchanged a few words with Sha Zhu, then turned and went back to his room.

At this time, at the door of Jia's house, Mrs. Jia Zhang opened a corner of the curtain that was made from an old mattress, and she was sticking half of her head out to look at the door of Shazhu's house.

See Qin Huairu come back empty-handed.

Displeasure suddenly appeared on his face, and he hurriedly left the door and sat back at the dining table.

When Qin Huairu entered the house, Jia Zhang immediately came up with an idea.

"That brat Xu Qing in the backyard, didn't he just buy a piece of meat today, you can borrow it from him."

When Qin Huairu heard Jia Zhang's words, she was a little tempted. She stood up and was about to go to the backyard.

But after walking to the door of the house, Qin Huairu turned around and returned to the dining table.

Jia Zhang was a little confused and hurriedly opened her mouth and said:
"Qin Huairu, why don't you go?"

Qin Huairu shook his head and said, "Mom, how do you want me to go? Xu Qing's parents are gone, and he still has three younger brothers and sisters. How dare I say anything when I go there."

Mrs. Jia Zhang remained silent, with a sullen face, grabbed the chopsticks, ate the steamed bread, and stopped talking.

There are so many people in the compound, only Qin Huairu is from the countryside. He has lived a hard life since he was a child. He knows better than anyone how difficult it is to live without parents.

She can ask Shazhu to borrow it, because Shazhu has a high salary, and there is only He Yushui and his younger sister in the house, and if she borrows it, she doesn't have to worry about paying it back.

As for Xu Qing, Qin Huairu pondered in his heart and remained silent.

The night outside the house was getting darker and darker, and against the background of the stars, it seemed a bit brighter than before.

In the backyard, Xu Qing was sitting on the Kang in the house with three little dogs. After dinner, he immediately packed up the dishes and brought them into the kitchen to clean them.

The little girl slipped off the kang and ran into the kitchen with her elder brother Xu Qing to help wash the dishes.

Xu Aiguo was standing in front of the stove at this time, holding the kettle with his left hand, and holding the fire hook with his right hand, flicking the briquettes.

Xu Fengming was laying on the kang, and took out his schoolbag, which he had destroyed in a semester. It was almost impossible to tell that it was just bought, and it was rolling along the edge of the kang, like a cart.

The courtyard was quiet, and the occasional gust of wind made some noises in the courtyard, other than that, there was no sound to be heard.

With the help of the little girl, Xu Qing cleaned the dishes and chopsticks in a short time, and then the two of them left the kitchen and returned to the front room.

But Xu Qing thought that the noodles bought today hadn't been divided or poured into the noodle urn.Returning to the kitchen, I used the ability to divide the white flour and stick noodles into two, and divided them into one portion.

Then pour them into the black pottery urn containing white noodles and the black pottery urn containing stick noodles.

Of course, the two noodle jars always have more stick noodles and less white noodles.

Every time I make steamed buns, I always mix two types of noodles together, either more white flour or more stick noodles.

As for which one is more, it mainly depends on the size of your family’s expenses.

If your expenses are high this month, eat less white flour. If you can still make do with it until next month, naturally eat more white flour.

Bangzi noodles are a whole grain, so whoever wants to eat more has no choice but to eat white noodles.

It's just that now, Xu Qing doesn't have to be so tight and timid as before.

One has the ability to divide into two, although I dare not say that it will make my younger siblings lose face, but it is more than enough to catch up with the first, second, and third uncles.

Of course, the main reason is that under the general environment, there are not as many white noodles as stick noodles. If the national harvest is good and there is no longer a fixed amount, it is not difficult for Xu Qing to eat three meals a day.

Xu Qing looked at the urn full of stick noodles that were almost flush with the rim of the urn, and the white flour that was half of the urn, and suddenly felt that it was all right.

Today is the Chinese New Year, so I won’t be hungry.

As for meat, although there is still not much, it is enough to make a few more dumplings.

Xu Qing stood in the kitchen, collected the kitchen garbage, and then walked out to the front room.

In the front room, the three little ones had been playing around all day, and it was only nine o'clock at this time, and they were all sleepy lying on the kang, yawning again and again.

Xu Qing asked them to wash their feet quickly, and then went to sleep on the kang.

The little girl rubbed her eyes, climbed to the edge of the kang, slipped off the kang, put on her shoes, and went to get the footbath.

Xu Fengming, who was holding the abacus in his arms, threw the abacus aside, followed by Xu Aiguo and quickly got off the kang to wash his feet.

Seeing the edge of the Kang, Xu Fengming, the third younger brother, broke a few wooden beads on the abacus, feeling helpless in his heart.

Of the three little guys, only Xu Fengming was the most calculating. Since the little girl started using the calculation, except for the very beginning, she bought one and has been using it until now without even breaking a corner.

Xu Aiguo only got a new one after more than a year.

Only the third brother, Xu Fengming, had to use up one of them every semester. It wasn't that he broke the abacus in a serious way, but that he broke it by playing with it.

Xu Qing pinched Xu Fengming's abacus and the broken pillars, frowned, and thought to himself that he would have to buy a new one next time he went to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Otherwise, when school starts next year, there will be many people buying it, so it may not be easy to buy.

As for the price, this year, the price will not rise at will because of the shortage or shortage of things, on the contrary, it is the same as usual.

The price will not change if there are many people who want it.

If someone dares to raise prices indiscriminately and disturb the economic order, it will be a serious matter, and it will be a major event.

If it is mild, it will be closed for rectification, and if it is serious, it will be banned directly.

It's just that if the abacus is sold out, it will be gone for the time being. You can only wait for the next batch to come back and buy it again, or you can think of another way.

Xu Qing took Xu Fengming's broken abacus into the next room and put it away.

Then I returned to the warm front room, sat on the bench, gathered around the stove, and washed my feet with the three little ones.

Before going to bed, Xu Qing tucked the corners of the three cubs one by one.

The focus of attention is still the third brother Xu Fengming, who is too naughty and likes to kick the quilt randomly at night.

The night passed.

In the early morning, as soon as Xu Qing came out of the house, he was stunned by what he saw.
