Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 188
Xu Qing sat in the so-called small study of the third master, looked around, and saw that most of them were sundries that were not usually used for the time being.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the third uncle used stacks of books, newspapers, and lesson plans to isolate the debris, leaving a space for a table and two chairs, with pen holders, pen holders, inkstones, and ink on them. Bottles and other things for his leisurely and elegant entertainment.

After Xu Qing exchanged a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point and said:
"Third uncle, I plan to make my second brother patriotic and take the high school entrance examination this year. I would like to ask for your help."

Yan Bugui, a shrewd man, heard Xu Qing's words, took a puff of cigarette, glanced at the things Xu Qing put down on the table out of the corner of his eye, and immediately said:
"Xu Qing, your second brother should be promoted to the third grade of junior high school in the second half of this year. You want him to take the high school entrance examination. This matter is not easy to handle."

Xu Qing took out the big front door he carried on his body, handed it to Yan Bugui and said:

"Third Master, I'm not looking for you here. You are a teacher at the school and a cultural person in our compound. Except for you, the First and Second Masters, how can they compare to this matter!"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui smiled, shook the ashes from his cigarette, and felt very comfortable.

Who wouldn’t like to hear pleasant words and pleasant words?

Yanbu Gui, a person with a good face, felt that it was helpful and wished that Xu Qing could say more.

Although he is only the third uncle, he always thinks in his heart that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are the first and second uncles of the compound because they are slightly older than him.

In terms of ability, I am a dignified intellectual, whether it is reading, reading and reading newspapers, or words and deeds, talking, etc., completely crushing them.

Xu Qing was able to find him directly today, and his vision was not bad.

However, Yan Bugui couldn't figure out why Xu Qing was in such a hurry to let Aiguo take the senior high school entrance examination a year earlier.
If the matter is unclear, he dare not agree casually. To him, this matter is naturally nothing, but if he hides something he doesn't know and involves him, then Yan Bugui will not do it if he is beaten to death.

After a pause, Yan Bugui asked curiously: "Xu Qing, why are you so worried about letting Aiguo go to high school?"

Xu Qing took a puff of cigarette, scratched his head and said, "Third Master, it's not like you don't know. You also know the current situation of my family. My parents are not here now. My younger siblings and I are alone in the factory. I don’t want my second brother to go to school early so that I can share the burden with the little salary I earn.

I am eighteen this year, and it will be time to get married in a few years. I am worried. "

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he continued: "Right now, my brothers and sisters are still young and don't have much to spend money on, but in a few years, they will go to high school and college, and as they grow up, their daily expenses will increase. , I’m afraid I can’t afford it alone.”

Yan Bugui nodded, secretly feeling that Xu Qing was right.

Because he himself has three sons and one daughter, he has a deep understanding of how much he spends a month.

Every month I budget carefully, save whatever I can, and don't spend if I can. But excluding daily expenses for food, clothing, and favors, I can't save even ten yuan at the end of the month.

Xu Qing is alone, dragging his three younger brothers and sisters, and also considering his own major life events. It is indeed troublesome to pile them all up together.

As for Xu Qing, although he did not say that the most critical factor was the change in his enrollment in higher education in 66, what he just said was also a major reason.

With him alone, the family can cope with it for the time being, but after all, it is impossible to take care of it all the time. For now, the only way to do it is to help the three cubs lay a solid foundation while they are still young.

They will have to go their own way in the future.

Yan Bugui threw the burned cigarette butt into the iron can on the table, looked up at Xu Qing, thought quickly in his mind, and still felt a little hesitant.

It's just that Xu Qing is now a cadre, so he has to save face!

In the past, Yan Bugui might have been prevaricated, but now, Xu Qing's status is different.

Not students, not workers, but cadres.

He was still thinking yesterday that Xu Qing became a cadre so that he could follow him in the future. Naturally, he couldn't treat Xu Qing like a child like before.

Moreover, Xu Qing also took something. Yan Bugui stretched out his hand, held it up, put the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:
"Then Xu Qing, I'll help you find someone and think of a way, but I can't guarantee the third master, it will definitely work, but the third master will definitely try my best."

Xu Qing hummed, "No problem, Third Master, I believe you. This matter is a piece of cake for you."

Yan Bugui smiled, grabbed the cigarette that Xu Qing had handed him before, held it in the corner of his mouth, lit it, and asked about Xu Aiguo's current study status.

Xu Qing told the third uncle in detail.

Yan Bugui listened quietly, and took a pen and paper to memorize briefly on the table.

After more than an hour, Xu Qing left Yan Pugui's small study room, and walked back towards the backyard in the dark night.

When passing through the middle courtyard, Xu Qing met Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, chatting in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu was sick today and asked for a day off. Xu Qing walked over and asked:
"Sister Qin, are you feeling better?"

Qin Huairu said softly: "My mother-in-law pulled out the cupping for me in the morning, and Shazhu gave me two painkillers in the afternoon. I feel much better now."

Xu Qing stood in the middle courtyard and chatted with Qin Huairu and Sha Zhu for a few minutes, then continued to go back to the backyard.

As soon as he returned to his room, Xu Qing rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks used for dinner when the little girl smiled and lay on the edge of the kang, grabbing her arm and saying:
"Brother, don't go to the kitchen, my second brother, my third brother and I have finished washing for you."

Xu Qing turned around and saw Xu Fengming shaking his head proudly and saying:
"Brother, don't you ever say that I didn't do anything today."

Xu Qing saw that the little guy was so arrogant, so he didn't go to the kitchen. He put down his rolled up sleeves, sat on the kang, stretched out his hand and knocked on the third brother's forehead:

"Take your textbook, and I'll spot-check your recitation."

Xu Fengming suddenly became frowning, reluctantly slipped down the kang, walked to the wall at the door of the house, and took out the Chinese textbooks in the schoolbag.

After lowering his head and taking a quick look, he handed it to Xu Qing, stood in front of the Kang edge, and started to recite it.

The little girl sat next to Xu Qing on the edge of the kang, stretched her neck, looked at the contents of the textbook in the elder brother's hand, and helped the elder brother check it.

As long as Xu Fengming recited a word wrong, the little girl would correct it immediately.

The angry Xu Fengming's face was dark and displeased.

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention, as long as the third brother could recite it.

After Xu Fengming finished reciting, Xu Qing stuffed the textbook into the little guy's hands and said:

"Your sister helped you correct those just now, you should read more yourself, and don't make mistakes when you recite it to your teacher tomorrow."

The little guy lay down on the edge of the kang, spread out the textbook, turned his head to the little girl, pursed his lips, and then lowered his head to read what he had just recited.

In the courtyard outside the house, it was late at night and the moon was bright, and there was a faint sound of insects chirping. The evening wind blew, bringing with it wisps of coolness, quietly flowing in through the doors and windows towards the illuminated houses.
