Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 225 Reading and Writing Letters

Xu Qing stood at the door of the house, glanced with a cold face, turned around and went to the next room. After waking up his sister, he took out a cigarette and started smoking.

Last night, Xu Qing originally thought that the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu still had a bit of backbone, they broke up with the family and would fend for themselves.

As a result, after only three or four days, he came back disheartened.

Xu Qing suddenly felt that these two brothers, like the later generations, had no future at all.

If he could be tough this time, he might even look at the two brothers with admiration.

But now it seems that it is really exalted.

At this moment, the second aunt came out of her own house, and when she saw the two sons coming back, she immediately became very excited, grabbed the arms of Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and while pulling them into the house, she shouted loudly: "Old Liu, Guangfu!" Tianhe Guangfu is back, come out quickly."

In the past few days, Liu Haizhong has never looked for the two sons once. Hearing them come back, he stretched out his hand to lift the curtain, came out of the room, and scolded sharply:
"You two bastards, aren't you capable? If you can, don't come back?!"

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu tilted their heads and said nothing.

The second aunt quickly stood in front of Liu Haizhong and asked the two sons to go back to the house first.

Xu Damao, who lived in the backyard, was woken up by the second aunt's shouting and Liu Haizhong's cursing. He lay on the window, looked into the yard, then fell back on the kang, and continued to sleep soundly.

Xu Qing finished smoking the cigarette in his hand, turned around and went back to the house.

But not three minutes after Xu Qing entered the house, Silly Zhu from the middle courtyard ran over in a hurry.

"Qingzi, I heard from the first mother that the two sons of the second uncle came back early in the morning, right?"

Xu Qing picked up a handful of water in the washbasin with both hands, washed his face and said, "I'm back."

Silly Zhu turned his head and glanced at the second uncle's house, sat on the kang, stretched his hands on top of his head, bared his teeth and said:
"I reckon those two boys came back after being out for a few days because they were so hungry."

Xu Qing wiped his face with a towel and didn't respond.

Xu Qing is not as enthusiastic as Sha Zhu and cares about other people's affairs.

First, there are a lot of things in my house.

Secondly, in a few months, things will change in China, and there will be even more troubles and worries.

And the trivial matters in the courtyard, which are as big as sesame seeds and mung beans, are not worth mentioning in the face of those major events.

What Xu Qing needs to do is to prepare in advance for the coming storm.

After all, when the time comes, the impact will be too wide, from top to bottom, from the city to the countryside, almost no one will be spared.

If you don't make a plan early, if you don't make it right, you will have to eat melons.

At this moment, Silly Zhu saw that Xu Qing hadn't spoken, and stretched out his hand to touch his body, but couldn't find the cigarette. After thinking about it for a while, he had left it at home, so he got up and grabbed Xu Qing's cigarette case on the table, shook out one, and put the cigarette in the corner of his mouth. After asking Xu Qing for a lighter, he lit a cigarette and asked:
"Qingzi, is your sister still awake?"

As soon as Shazhu finished speaking, the little girl came over from the next door hut, grinning and saying:

"Brother Yuzhu, my elder brother woke me up early in the morning."

Silly Zhu took a puff of cigarette, watched the little girl enter the kitchen, reached out and took out a letter from his trouser pocket, handed it to Xu Qing and said:
"Qingzi, this is a letter written to me by my sister Yushui. I wanted you to read it for me last night, but Xu Damao didn't have the nerve to take it out because he stayed in your room. Now You help my brother to read, what my sister wrote."

Xu Qing reached out to take the letter from Sha Zhu, sat on the edge of the Kang, looked at Sha Zhu, and opened the channel:

"Brother Silly Zhu, didn't you study hard last week, why do you want me to help you read?"

"Hey, Qingzi, don't try to bully me with your words. I was just trying to cope with the situation. It's not like you don't know about the girl I met on a blind date."

Xu Qing smiled, opened the folded letter, cleared his throat, and helped Shazhu read it.

Silly Zhu listened attentively and took a puff of cigarette from time to time.

Three minutes later, Xu Qing handed the read letter back to Silly Zhu and asked with a smile:
"Brother Silly Zhu, how much money did you send to Yuyu some time ago, so that she had to write you a letter about it."

Silly Zhu grinned and said, "Hey, it's not much. I'm not afraid that she will be wronged outside."

Xu Qing nodded, he could understand Sha Zhu's mood.

Shazhu and Yushui depend on each other for life, similar to him and his younger siblings.

Yuyu goes to school in another place, so Shazhu, the eldest brother, is naturally worried about him.

If the little girl also goes to school in other places, Xu Qing, as the eldest brother, will do the same.

But after Silly Zhu listened once, he scratched his head and said to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, help me read it again."

Xu Qing gave a wry smile, and had no choice but to put the letter in his hand with the silly plunger, and read it again.

Silly Zhu sat on the edge of the kang. After listening carefully again, he frowned and thought for a while and said:

"Qingzi, take the pen and paper from your room and help me write a reply to my sister Yuyu."

Xu Qing did not refuse, stood up and went to find paper and pen.

He and Sha Zhu got along very well in the past few years, especially Sha Zhu helped him take care of his younger siblings last week.

To Xu Qing, this little favor is not a problem at all.

Five minutes later, Xu Qing was sitting in front of the table, holding a pen, listening to what Shazhu said, and began to write quickly on the paper.

It's just that Xu Qing forgot about one thing, and Silly Zhu started rambling on endlessly.

After writing two pages densely, Xu Qing had no choice but to remind him when Silly Zhu showed no intention of stopping.
"Brother Silly Zhu, you picked the important things and said that we have to go to work in the factory later. You can tell Yushui everything you want. I'm afraid I'll sit in the room today and help you write for a whole day."

Sha Zhu's face showed embarrassment, and he gritted his teeth and said: "Qingzi, let's do it like this. You finally tell my sister, let her take the flowers for the money I sent her. If it is not enough, I will send it to her."

Xu Qing moved his right wrist and simply wrote down Si Zhu's meaning, then folded the letter and handed it to Si Zhu.

Silly Zhu carefully put it into his pocket, "Qingzi, thank you. When my sister comes back and brings some good things, I will send you some, brother."

Xu Qing picked up the remaining paper and pens, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, don't see my brother."

Sha Zhu raised his thumb, "That's interesting!"

When Xu Qing sent Sha Zhu out of the house, there was a fierce quarrel at the second uncle's house for some reason.

Not only that, the sound of throwing plates and bowls resounded throughout the courtyard.

It was originally early in the morning, and everyone in the courtyard had just woken up, so it should be quiet in the courtyard at this moment.

But at this time, because of the noise from the second uncle's house, he couldn't live in peace for a moment.

Xu Qing and Sha Zhu looked at each other, wondering what the fuss was about.

And Xu Damao was quarreled wearing a vest, ran outside the house, leaned against the door of the house, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked angrily at the second uncle's house.
