Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 125 Stubble Frame
Xu Qing smiled and said no more.

This kind of matter is naturally handled by him.

Is it possible that the target, Ma Jinghong, is really allowed to complain to the leader of their group?
If that's the case, Xu Qing doesn't feel ashamed, but is just afraid of affecting Jinghong's work in the regiment in the future.

Of course, that would be a solution, but since Cao Xiaojun wants to fight against him, Xu Qing will not be cowardly!

Besides, doing this for the woman he likes is an experience that Xu Qing has never had before.

"Don't worry, it's alright."

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Qing reached out and patted Ma Jiefang's shoulder, then took out one of the three Lantern Festivals in his net pocket, and handed it to Ma Jiefang to take home and eat.

He himself took the other two copies in the net pocket, separated from Ma Jiefang, and went to Master Lao Zhang's house.

Due to the delay on the road and the incident at the dead end, it was already dark when Xu Qing arrived at Master Zhang's house.

The night slowly enveloped the Forty-Nine City, heralding the end of the day.

After Xu Qing called Master in the courtyard, he opened the door and went in.

On the kang in the front room, Zhang Zhenlian and several of her older sisters were picking up the soles of their shoes.

During the New Year celebrations some time ago, some of Master Lao Zhang’s daughters returned to their parents’ homes early to celebrate the New Year, while others only came recently.

Xu Qing only started studying at the factory in the second half of last year and learned art from his master, Lao Zhang. Therefore, he only saw Zhang Zhenlian when he came several times last year, and he didn't see the rest of the people at all.

After all, it is rare for a married girl to have time to return to her natal home.

Xu Qing didn't know it, but he was very clever. Today, on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, everyone who was at Master's house except for Master's children and relatives had already left.

So Xu Qing called out 'sister' to those on the kang.

Seeing Xu Qing coming, Zhang Zhenlian hurriedly put down the soles of the shoes in her hand, grinned with dimples on her face, slid down from the kang with a happy face, turned her head and shouted to the kitchen:

"Dad, Mom, Brother Qingzi is here."

Lao Zhang was standing in the kitchen, helping his wife cook Yuanxiao. Hearing this, he poked his head out of the kitchen holding an iron spoon, sucked the cigarette at the corner of his mouth, and said to Xu Qing:

"You brat, I thought you weren't coming today. Wait, Master and your wife will cook the first pot of Yuanxiao right away. Don't sneak away, brat!"

Xu Qing chuckled, took out a piece of Yuanxiao from his net pocket, and handed it to Zhang Zhenlian's hand.
"Thank you, Brother Qingzi."

Holding the Lantern Festival, Zhang Zhenlian turned to Xu Qing to introduce the older sisters sitting on the kang.

"Brother Qingzi, this is my eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, and fifth sister."

"My third sister went back to her house a few days ago, so, you don't like it today."

After Zhang Zhenlian finished speaking with a smile, she took Yuanxiao into the kitchen, and when she turned around to come out, she brought Xu Qing a mug of hot tea.

Xu Qing thanked Zhang Zhenlian and prepared to leave.

As a result, Zhang Zhenlian's four sisters all got off the kang and walked towards Xu Qing when they saw someone coming into the house.

"Lian'er, this is our dad's new apprentice last year, he looks so handsome!"

Xu Qing was surrounded by the four daughters of his master, Lao Zhang, and his face turned red instantly.

There is no way, four pairs of eyes staring back and forth on the body, no one can not blush.

Zhang Zhenlian hurriedly helped Xu Qing out of the siege, "Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, don't do this, you will make Brother Qingzi very embarrassed."

At this time, Lao Zhang came out of the kitchen with the pot in both hands, placed it on the stove in the front room, and sent his daughter Zhang Zhenlian to get the dishes and chopsticks quickly.

Seeing this, Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Master, I will go back first. My brothers and sisters are still waiting for me at home."

Lao Zhang turned around and used his right hand like a pliers to firmly grasp Xu Qing's arm, for fear of running away.

"You brat, why are you so anxious? Let's eat the Lantern Festival before we talk. It only takes a few minutes, it doesn't matter!"

Seeing that he couldn't get away, Xu Qing had no choice but to eat Yuanxiao at the master's house before leaving.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenlian came out of the kitchen with a pile of bowls and chopsticks. Among her four sisters, one scooped the yuanxiao with a spoon, and the other took a bowl to catch it.

Zhang Zhenlian took two bowls and handed them to Lao Zhang and Xu Qing.

Xu Qing saw the pot full of Yuanxiao, and in the blink of an eye, it was all gone in a few strokes.

Immediately, I felt in my heart that it was really not easy for Master to bring up several daughters.

Fortunately, there are only three younger siblings in my house, otherwise, as the eldest brother, I am afraid that I will have some worries in the future.

After eating the Lantern Festival, Xu Qing took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and said goodbye to Master and Wife, as well as Zhang Zhenlian and the others.

Lao Zhang didn't stop him this time, stood up and sent Xu Qing away.

"Stinky boy, be careful on the road, it's getting dark now."

Xu Qing hummed and said, "Master, you go back to the house and rest, I'm leaving." '

After saying that, Xu Qing picked up the net bag in his hand and hurried back to his courtyard.

At this moment, stars were twinkling in the night sky. With the help of the stars, Xu Qing walked out of the alley and walked quickly along the street.

When they returned to their own room, San Xiaozhi had already heated up the steamed buns in the pot on the kitchen stove.

Xu Aiguo was holding a kitchen knife and standing in front of the chopping board, imitating his elder brother's example and chopping vegetables unskilledly.

Xu Fengming and the little girl were squatting in front of the stove, lighting the fire and eating walnuts together with their two little heads.

When the little girl saw her elder brother coming back with Lantern Festival, she immediately stood up, with a happy face, and threw herself in front of Xu Qing.

"Brother, I'll cook Yuanxiao for us later, okay?"

"it is good!"

Xu Qing reached out and pinched the little girl's nose, washed his hands and took out the steamed buns from the pot.

Xu Xiaoya looked happy, standing by the stove, carefully pouring the Lantern Festival poured into the large enamel bowl into the boiling water along the side of the pot.

Xu Qing handed her the spoon, and the little girl immediately started stirring with the spoon in a decent manner.

Xu Fengming stopped eating walnuts, put the remaining piece into his pocket, turned around and ran to the cupboard, picking up the bowls and chopsticks.

Seven or eight minutes later, the Yuanxiao was cooked. The little girl was very stylish. She held a spoon and helped her eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and herself, scooping seven evenly into each bowl.

Xu Qing actually planned to buy more tickets, but the number of tickets he bought was limited, and he gave Ma Jiefang and Master's house another one each.

Therefore, there is not much left.

Master Zhang must give it!
Ma Jiefang's family won't do anything if he doesn't give it to him. Last year, Ma Jiefang brought him noodles a lot.

Whether it was his fifth sister's idea, or his own or his parents' idea, Xu Qing always remembered this affection.

Furthermore, Xu Qing and Ma Jinghong are still dating, more or less, they should express their hearts.

At this time, in front of the stove, Xu Fengming picked up a Yuanxiao with chopsticks before taking the bowl out of the kitchen, and swallowed it in one gulp, regardless of burning his mouth.

When the little girl saw that her third brother had eaten one yuanxiao so quickly, she immediately took seven of them in her bowl and showed off proudly.

"Third brother, hehe, I still have seven more."

Xu Fengming pursed his lips and looked down at the remaining six in his bowl, reluctant to eat any more.

Xu Qing picked one up for the little guy from his own bowl with chopsticks.

The little girl pouted and stopped: "Brother, it's not fair. Each of us has seven. I have counted them. If you give me three, you will eat less."

Xu Qing smiled, put the Lantern Festival on the chopsticks into the little guy's bowl, and then put another one for the little girl and Xu Aiguo respectively.

"Brother, I don't like to eat, you should eat more."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, the little girl held the bowl thoughtfully, and followed her second brother Xu Aiguo to the front room to eat.

In the early morning, when Xu Qing came out of the compound, he went to work with Shazhu and Qin Huairu again.

Last year at this time, the sky was still dark, but now it is getting brighter.

The chill was not as bad as last year. Xu Qing didn't feel cold. When he came out of the room just now, he didn't wear a scarf.

Shazhu is the same as him, but Qin Huairu is still wearing it.

It's not snowing or raining now, and the bright sky doesn't obstruct the line of sight. Cyclists on the street, pedaling their bikes fast, rush past them, and the wind they bring out engulfs them. A burst of coldness made Qin Huairu sneezed inexplicably.

When he got off work at noon, Xu Qing was outside the gate of the factory, and saw the kid who was blocked by him and Ma Jiefang in a dead end yesterday.

"I came here with a message. Feng Tuzi and Cao Xiaojun told them that they will wait for you under the overpass at the head of the Stone Lion Bridge in the afternoon."

The swelling on the man's face had not gone away. When he saw Ma Jiefang, he subconsciously turned the front of the bicycle, raised his leg to cross the crossbar, and said to Xu Qing:
"Cao Xiaojun said that when the time comes, he will challenge you one-on-one!"

After the man finished speaking, he ignored the expressions on Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang's faces and staggered away on his bicycle.

Ma Jiefang spat on the ground, turned to look at Xu Qing and said:
"Brother Qingzi, let's not go this afternoon, I don't think Cao Xiaojun's grandsons are serious, they might be playing tricks again!"

Xu Qing looked at the back of the man leaving, but did not immediately respond to Ma Jiefang's words.

Seeing that person turned into a black dot and disappeared into the crowd, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and said:

"It doesn't matter. Since Cao Xiaojun dares to challenge me, if he is playing dirty tricks, then it proves that he is not a man. Why don't we go and take a look."

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette, frowned, thought for a while, and opened his mouth to say something else, but seeing that Xu Qing had already decided to leave, he finally stopped speaking.

Turn around and go back to the factory with Xu Qing, and head towards the cafeteria together.
