Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 185 We have big brother here, so why not be afraid
Xu Qing did not have to let his younger brothers and sisters study.

Because in essence, whether it is studying or not studying and switching to other activities, the ultimate goal is to make life easier in the future.

These days, as long as you study, even if you finish junior high school or go to technical secondary school, you will be a cadre after all, and you don't have to work as hard as a worker.

The starting point may be a little lower, not as good as those who graduated from college, but relatively speaking, when compared with workers, they are much better.

Therefore, in these years, as long as many children can study, most of them choose to go to technical secondary schools after graduating from junior high school, and then directly join the work.

Just like Xu Qing is now promoted, according to the characterization given by the factory, a seventh-level clerk is equivalent to a regular technical secondary school student, with a salary of 37 yuan a month, and he doesn't have to work in the workshop anymore.

If you can finish high school, even if you don't go to college, the results will be considerable.

If you are a college student, you will be a cadre after graduation. Whether you are engaged in administrative or technical work, the salary starts directly from 48 yuan.

At this point alone, the difference in the amount of reading can be clearly seen.

In the evening, Xu Qing made scrambled eggs with leeks and stir-fried vermicelli with celery for his younger siblings.

The celery and leeks were given by the three aunts in the yard.

Eggs and vermicelli are already in the house.

Xu Qingtigan, the people in the courtyard were naturally impressed.

At this moment, the little girl was sitting on the kang, biting the steamed bun mixed with stick noodles in her hand, holding a piece of egg with chopsticks, stuffing it into her little mouth, and was very happy to eat.

Xu Fengming devoured the food as usual, and did not forget to turn his head to glance at the two crickets in the bottle during the meal.

Xu Aiguo sat beside Xu Qing, and suddenly asked, "Brother, what if I don't get into high school this year?"

Xu Qing looked at his second brother, thought for a moment and said, "If you don't pass, you didn't pass. It's not a big deal."

When Xu Fengming heard that his second brother was going to take the high school entrance examination this year, his eyes widened instantly. He didn't even swallow the buns in his mouth, and said curiously:
"Brother, isn't my second brother going to be promoted to the third grade of junior high school in the second half of the year? Why did he pass the high school entrance exam?"

The little girl put down her chopsticks, snapped her fingers and said, "That's right, second brother was on the first day of the previous Lunar New Year, the second day of last year's Lunar New Year, and the third day of this year's Lunar New Year's Day. He will be admitted to high school the year after next. Then he will be in the first year of senior high school, the second year of senior high school, and the third year of senior high school next year." .”

Xu Qing said with a smile: "Because he is patriotic and good at studying, he dares to enter high school even if he is not in the third year of junior high school."

Xu Fengming tilted his head and frowned, thinking that was right.

Who made his own studies have been inferior to the second brother.

In fact, Xu Qing was a little worried about what his second brother said just now. If he didn't pass the exam, he would have no chance to take the college entrance examination later.

However, if you can’t catch up, you can’t catch up, and it’s okay. After finishing high school, work in advanced factories, and slowly look for opportunities.

Although the college entrance examination will be suspended for a long time in the future, it does not mean that there are no other channels to enter the university.

Xu Qing didn't want to put too much pressure on his second brother, so he thought for a while and said:
"Patriot, don't think too much. If you don't want to take the high school entrance exam this year, then we won't take the exam."

Xu Aiguo shook his head, "Brother, no, I'm just worried, afraid."

Seeing the worry on the second brother's face, the little girl hurriedly said: "Second brother, we have the eldest brother here, so there is nothing to be afraid of, I am not afraid of anyone!"

Xu Fengming grinned and echoed: "That is, if anyone dares to bully us, brother will help us deal with him!"

Invisibly, the three little guys regard their eldest brother Xu Qing as the backbone of the family.

But this is also normal. Their parents passed away for more than a year, and the only thing they can rely on is not only their elder brother.

Xu Qing reached out and touched the head of his worried second brother, "Okay, hurry up and eat. Don't think about anything. No matter what happens, big brother is here."

Xu Aiguo nodded, hummed, and then ate dinner with relish.

Early the next morning.

After Xu Qing got up, the first thing he did was to go outside the house and take all the clothes washed and dried in the yard yesterday morning into the house.

Then he took out the money that had been placed in the closet and sat in the room to count it.

A total of 500 yuan, which seems to be a lot since the denominations are relatively small.

After counting, Xu Qing put it back in the closet, preparing to take it out for storage later.

With this money, the tuition and expenses for the three little ones’ future studies will be enough.

Xu Qing washed his hands again, walked into the kitchen, cut the steamed buns into thin slices, put them on the bottom of the pot, heated them up, took a bite with his brother and sister, and then went out together.

When passing by the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu walked out of Jia's house with a sick face, leaned against the door of the house, and coughed:
"Xu Qing, can you ask for a leave from the factory for me? I have a terrible headache and feel uncomfortable all over. I can't go to work today."

Seeing that Qin Huairu was really uncomfortable, Xu Qing nodded and said, "No problem, Sister Qin, you can rest at home, and I'll go to the factory to help you out."

Qin Huairu, who looked pale and had no energy to speak, thanked Xu Qing, turned around and hurried back to the house to rest.

Silly Zhu came out of his room and asked Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, what's the matter? Sister Qin didn't go to work early in the morning."

"She was sick and asked me to help her apply for leave from the factory."

Silly Zhu groaned, stood on tiptoes, and looked into Jia's house, but saw nothing, so he followed Xu Qing out of the courtyard.

As soon as Xu Qing entered the factory, he first went to help Qin Huairu ask for leave, and then subconsciously walked towards the third workshop. Er Mazi, who was standing at the door of the third workshop, laughed and said:
"Qingzi, you can't bear to leave your brother, can you?"

Only then did Xu Qing remember that now he could carry the work by himself and no longer had to work in the workshop, so he hurriedly handed Er Mazi a pipe:
"I can't bear to bear it. Why don't I come here early this morning and see you again."

Er Mazi knew that Xu Qing was used to walking around, so he put his arm around Xu Qing's shoulders and joked:

"Or, let's change, brother. I've been in the workshop for several years, and I'm already tired of it."

Xu Qing took a puff of smoke and said, "Okay, you can tell the factory. I have no objection."

"Forget it then." Er Mazi shook his head hastily.

Xu Qing chatted with Er Mazi for a while at the door of the third workshop, then turned to his office.

As soon as Xu Qing entered the new office, he saw two people already sitting in it.

The two men, one with dark skin and short height, were holding up a thermos bottle and pouring water into the cup.

The other one, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, is not fat, but has a very wide body, and the clothes are stretched a little too small.

Xu Qing thought for a moment, remembered their names, and took the initiative to say hello:
"Tanaka Kiyoshi, hello!"

The swarthy young man put down the thermos bottle and quickly reached out to shake it with Xu Qing.

"Comrade Xu Qing, hello!"

As for the other person, he turned around, walked up to Xu Qing, and introduced himself:

"My name is Qian Bing. We chatted in the office last week. Don't you forget?"

"No."

After Xu Qing finished speaking with a smile, he took out his cigarettes and gave one to each of them.

After working together, Xu Qing chatted with them before going to work.

　Thank you for your support last week! ! !
