Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 13 Qianlong Cabbage
"Hey, let me tell you three, it's ok. If you're so conscious, you don't need your elder brother to worry about it. Good job."

Silly Zhu stood in Xu Qing's room and saw the three little ones sitting in a row very sensibly, lying on the edge of the kang and doing their homework seriously. He couldn't help but think of the three children of the Jia family.

Silly Zhu felt that they were also children, and the three children of the Jia family, except for skin, were completely incomparable with the three younger brothers and sisters Xu Qing.

Although Bangge is younger than Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming, he is older than Xu Xiaoya.

He was mischievous all day long, either climbing trees to dig out bird nests, or going down the river to fish. Not long ago, he went skating in the river and broke his leg.

The children in the alley next door also went skating today, but they lost their lives.

Silly Zhu turned to the three little ones and said:
"By the way, don't go skating in the river recently. A child fell into an ice hole and drowned in the alley next to us!"

Silly Zhu has a carefree temper, and when he speaks, he is driving pigs in the alley, straight to the point.

The little girl was immediately frightened and frightened.

Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming, who were older, rolled their eyes at Shazhu.

"Brother Silly Zhu, don't scare people."

"Hey, boy, when did I scare you? What I said is true! Believe it or not, what about your elder brother? I have something to do with him."

Xu Qing heard Shazhu's words outside the house, and hurriedly opened the door to stop him.

It's just that Sha Zhu's mouth is broken, talking like a machine gun.

With a pout, he said it all.

Xu Qing was speechless, but it was hard to blame him. After all, Silly Zhu also kindly reminded him.

It's just that sometimes, the mind doesn't turn around.

When Sha Zhu saw Xu Qing coming in from outside the house, he opened his mouth and said:
"It's late at night. We talked about hooking up with my family the night before yesterday. How are you thinking about it?"

Xu Qing glanced at his younger siblings, seeing that the three little ones were not willing to go to Shazhu's house, he thought for a while and said:

"Brother Silly Zhu, I can help you study in Yushui, so let's forget it as a partner."

Silly Zhu looked at Xu Qing, and was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect Xu Qing to say that.

He was stunned for a while and said: "That's okay, but you have to help me keep an eye on my sister's studies. I don't have much education. Your boy has a room full of certificates and a lot of ink in his stomach. My sister can tell you. , when you were studying, you were number one every year in school, and next year she will be in her third year of high school, and if she is admitted to university in the future, I will definitely thank you very much."

Xu Qing hummed, exchanged some pleasantries, and sent Sha Zhu away.

The three little ones haven't finished their homework yet.

Xu Qing sat in the front room and waited.

After San Xiaozhi finished his homework, he went into the kitchen and took out all the steamed buns and buns in the pot, as well as the remaining dozen or so dumplings.

There are meat buns and dumplings, but Xu Qing doesn't cook.

I picked up a plate of pickled vegetables and mixed it with Qianlong cabbage.

To put it bluntly, Qianlong cabbage is cabbage mixed with sesame sauce.

But because it was the name bestowed by Emperor Qianlong, it has been passed down.

The method is also simple, just wash the cabbage leaves and mix with sesame paste.

Sprinkle some other seasonings in the kitchen at home.

As for whether the method is authentic or not, that's the case.

These days, not so much.It is a blessing to be able to eat enough and not to be hungry.

The four of them sat on the kang in the front room and ate their meal. The three little ones didn't speak. Although they were arguing with each other, the atmosphere was still a little quieter than before.

The reason, of course, is that Sha Zhu came to make a fuss.

Xu Qing didn't recruit either, Shazhu was alone.

When he was a child, he was hit on the head with a gun butt by a soldier, and he spoke in a vague way, and he was not brainy, and said whatever he thought of, and became confused when he was in a hurry.

But the bottom of my heart is good, seeing injustice in the courtyard, I always like to stand up and say a few words.

The only downside is that it has no opinion.

When his temper gets worse, he becomes as stubborn as a stubborn donkey and refuses to obey anyone!

It doesn't matter who you are, even if you are the king of heaven, I dare to point your finger at your forehead.

Such a person can neither be called good nor bad, at most he is a little messy.Throwing it into the crowd is not too eye-catching, but it will definitely surprise people.

There was silence during the meal. Before going to bed, the little girl huddled under the quilt and exposed her head, asking Xu Qing:

"Brother, in the alley next door to us, did a child really drown while skating?"

Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming also came over with bright eyes at this time.

Xu Qing hummed, and then said:
"The child was disobedient. He went skating in the river in the middle of winter. Without an adult by his side, he couldn't be rescued."

"Okay, don't think about these things, sleep well, you have to get up early to go to school tomorrow."

As Xu Qing said, he tucked the quilts for the three little ones one by one.

In the middle of the night, there was a dull bang in the courtyard.

Xu Qing woke up, turned his head to look in the direction of the window, and listened for a while, but there was no more movement in the courtyard, so he stuffed the flashlight in his hand next to the pillow, and didn't go out to check.

Early the next morning.

When Xu Qing came out of the house fully dressed.

Seeing the movement in the middle of the night last night, it turned out that the broken water urn placed in the courtyard was frozen and exploded.

At this time, the broken water urn split in two, exposing the frozen ice inside.

The closer to the end of the year, the colder the weather becomes.

There is nothing new about freezing and frying water urns.

After get off work in the factory in the afternoon.

Xu Qing walked out of the factory gate and did not go back to the compound directly. Instead, he walked towards Ma Jiefang's house.

When he went out in the morning, Xu Qing told the three children in the house to light the fire first.

I'll be back later today, and I'll buy horseshoe biscuits for them.

Ma Jiefang's family lives near Dongzhimen, so it's a bit of a walk there.

However, since he agreed to return the tickets today, Xu Qing would not go back on his promise.

After walking for nearly 10 minutes, I arrived at the gate of the courtyard house where Ma Jiefang lived.

Today, most of the courtyard houses in Sijiu City have become large courtyards.

However, the courtyard where Ma Jiefang lived had four entrances, one more entrance than Xu Qing's courtyard.

But because Ma Jiefang's father is the director of the security department, the conditions are not good.

On the contrary, because the yard is big, there are more people living in it than Xu Qing's big courtyard.

"Are you liberated at home?"

Standing in the front yard, Xu Qing shouted.

Soon, Ma Jiefang, who was wrapped in a military coat, opened the door and walked out quickly.

"Xu Qing, why are you here at my house today?"

"Come into the house, the weather is so cold."

Ma Jiefang let Xu Qing into the house, and quickly closed the door.

Just as Xu Qing sat down, Ma Jiefang's fifth sister suddenly ran over.

Seeing Xu Qing, joy instantly appeared on his face.

Xu Qing was about to say hello, but her hand pinched her cold red face.

"Xu Qing, I heard from my brother that last time he met you at the supply and marketing cooperative and asked you to come, but if you didn't come, why did you come here by yourself today?"

Every time Xu Qing meets her, his face is inevitably ravaged.

Of course, the premise is that Ma Jiefang's parents are not at home.

It looks like he shouldn't be here today, otherwise he wouldn't be poisoned.

Xu Qing explained: "I was in trouble last time, so why not today?"

Ma Jiefang looked disgusted with himself as the fifth sister.

After pushing and shoving twice, he didn't push into the back room, so he had to give up, grabbed the cigarette case on the coffee table, gave Xu Qing a cigarette, and held one in his hand, and said, "What's the matter?"

"Well, that's what you gave me yesterday."

"Hey, I thought you had some new instructions."

Ma Jinghong, the fifth sister of Ma Jiefang, was confused as she listened and suddenly looked unhappy.
