Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 91 Buying coal ash and rolling briquettes

The items sent by the street office today are not too many, but they are sent anyway.

Xu Qing didn't need to spend money, didn't need to get tickets, and didn't have to compete with others to buy meat, so he was naturally happy.

The little pork Xu Qing bought earlier, plus these two pounds, will be enough for the New Year.

While the three little ones were in the front room and didn't come over, Xu Qing immediately divided the rice, noodles, and pork with his powers.

Then put away separately.

After studying and pondering during this period of time, Xu Qing completely understood the use of his abilities and could use them twenty times a month.

Therefore, after Xu Qing divided up the things just now, he secretly planned for the remaining three times of use this month.

One will be used to distribute tickets to buy cloth, and one will be used to distribute clothes. As for the last time, Xu Qing hasn't figured it out yet, in case something urgent happens, he will use it at that time.

Xu Aiguo suddenly ran into the kitchen. Without talking to his eldest brother Xu Qing, he squatted directly in front of the stove. He puffed up his energy and blew on it. When he saw the flames in the stove jumping up, he grinned and said:

"Brother, when I went to the front yard, I threw a briquette. Fortunately, it was not completely burned."

Xu Qing smiled and reached out to wipe away the gray stains on his second brother's face caused by blowing.

Xu Fengming came from the front room, leaned forward, stood at the door of the kitchen, poked his head, and asked Xu Qing:

"Brother, Auntie Wang from the street office has sent meat to our family. Will our family eat it today?"

Xu Qing shook his head: "I won't eat."

"Oh..." Xu Fengming showed a little disappointment on his face, turned around and ran back to the front room.

Xu Aiguo stayed in the kitchen, helping the eldest brother, scooping water into the pot and putting the flower rolls.

Then he squatted down and sat on the bench to light the fire.

Through the kitchen window, Xu Qing saw the little girl running to the old lady's house to play, while Xu Fengming was rolling around in the yard with a hoop in hand.

After more than half an hour, the flower rolls were also hot, so Xu Qing threw the chopped cabbage and potatoes into the pot and stir-fried.

After a while, lunch was ready.

Xu Qing asked his second brother to go out and call Feng Ming and the little girl back to the house for dinner.

At this time, in Jia's house, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu's family were also eating.

But Mrs. Jia and Zhang ate absent-mindedly. In the morning, she was already greedy for the things that the street gave to Xu Qing's family.

Especially white noodles and pork, Jia Zhang is extremely envious.

Turning to Qin Huairu, he said, "A few days ago when your factory was paying wages, Xu Qing bought some meat in the backyard. Today, the street office gave another piece to his family. You can borrow some from him in the backyard later."

Qin Huairu pinched the chopsticks in his hand, looked at Jia Zhang's mother-in-law, frowned and said:

"Mom, why do you always ask me to borrow from others? I have already agreed with Shazhu and Yushui. After dinner, the three of us will go to the state-run store to see if we can buy some meat."

"I'll have it when I buy our house." Qin Huairu chewed the cornbread in his mouth and said, "I just borrowed it, and I won't be able to pay it back after that."

Jia Zhangshi froze, looked at Qin Huairu, and said in a low voice:
"Borrow less, otherwise you won't have to pay it back."

After Jia Zhang finished speaking, he took a hard bite of the stick noodle cornbread in his hand, thought for a moment and said:

"It's whatever you want. Anyway, you are making money at home now, and you won't listen to what I tell you. If you want to buy it, go ahead and buy it. But if you meet a thief on the road, you can beat the silly pillar. I'm good." When the time comes, tell the street office to get some pork and flour for our family."

Qin Huairu was speechless for a moment, lowered his head, holding the pickles on the plate, and didn't want to talk to Jia Zhang.

After one o'clock in the afternoon, the sun hung in the sky, making the courtyard warm.

After Xu Qing finished his lunch, taking advantage of the good weather today, he carried the three little ones and his quilt out, and put them on the clothesline.

The second aunt was also preparing to dry the quilt. When she saw that the Xu Qing family had occupied the clothesline, she had no choice but to give up the idea and dry it tomorrow.

After Xu Qing spread the quilt, he asked the three little ones to take care of it in the yard, and then went out of the backyard to go to the coal station to buy coal ash.

And at this time, Sha Zhu, He Yushui, and Qin Huairu were about to go out together.

The four of them walked together, and when they left the alley, Xu Qing separated from them.

Go towards the coal station alone.

Probably because the Chinese New Year was approaching, there were a lot of people at the coal station.

Xu Qing waited in line for two hours. When it was his turn, there happened to be a person from the coal station who had just returned from delivering coal.

Xu Qing hurriedly took out coal tickets and money, asked for a cart of coal ash, and handed the man a cigarette.

Together with the man, the coal ash was transported back to the compound.

Mrs. Jia Zhang saw it in the middle courtyard, and glanced at it again and again.

She wanted to make money by rolling briquettes, but she knew that Xu Qing would definitely not hire her.

In the compound, it is the home of the first and third masters, who have hired her several times.

Several families in the backyard did it themselves.

Jia Zhang's eyes were fixed on him until he saw Xu Qing and the man enter the backyard, so he pulled his face, turned around and opened the curtain, and entered the house.

As soon as Xu Qing entered the backyard, he asked San Xiaozhi to quickly carry the quilt into the house, and then asked the man to pour the soot on the door of the house.

When Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming saw that they had bought coal ash, they took the quilt back and took the little girl with a bench. They followed the example of their elder brother Xu Qing and rolled up the coal briquettes.

After Xu Qing sent the man away, he also carried a bench and sat at the door of the house, rubbing briquettes with his younger siblings.

Fortunately, the sky is still bright, the sun has not set, and the chill has not returned.

The four brothers and sisters seized the time and prepared to finish the entire load of coal ash before dark.

The old lady couldn't do anything now, and she was feeling bored in the room alone, so she walked to the door of Xu Qing's house with a cane, came to talk, and gave pointers by the way.

After all, he is a person who has worked all his life, and his experience is naturally unmatched by anyone in the compound.

Xu Qing took the bench, and the old lady sat aside, talking, and knocking the playful Xu Fengming with a cane from time to time, telling him not to mess around.

Hurry up and hurry up, but fortunately there are many people. Finally, when it gets dark, a load of coal ash is all rolled into briquettes.

As for the last point, Xu Qing asked his third younger brother Xu Fengming to take a broom and sweep it into a ball, and also knead it into briquettes.

Xu Qing didn't have time to rest, so he went back to the kitchen to cook dinner. His second brother, Xu Aiguo, sat in front of the stove, lighting the fire and heating up the rolls.

As for Xu Fengming and the little girl, after they cleaned up the door of the house, they lay tired on the kang in the house and fell asleep directly.

Xu Qing made dinner, woke up the two little ones, and let them wash their feet and go to bed after eating.

Dangling, a week passed in a blink of an eye.

The factory is on holiday and the New Year is approaching.

Xu Qing didn't have to get up early to go to work anymore, but due to inertia, the biological clock made him wake up early in the morning.

Xu Qing put on his clothes and went outside the house to smoke, but as soon as the house opened, he saw the courtyard was covered with white flowers.

Xu Qing originally thought that the snow would stop falling, but he never thought that the sky that had cleared up not long ago, on the morning of the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, snowflakes began to float again.

Let the Spring Festival atmosphere be filled instantly.
