Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 241 Chapter 240 Keeping pace
Xu Aiguo was really tired. When he was in school, he used to pinch a pen that didn't weigh three or two every day.

Now, all he does in the workshop is physical work.

Naturally, you cannot adapt to the sudden change.

Fortunately, in the past few years, he has helped his elder brother with a lot of work at home, exercised, and after a good sleep, his energy has recovered.

However, compared to when Xu Qing first entered the factory, the gap is still a bit big.

At that time, Xu Qing, in addition to going to work every day, had to cook dinner for the three of them non-stop when he got home from get off work in the afternoon.

There is no way, as the boss, there is no way to take responsibility.

The younger brothers and sisters all watched, if Xu Qing had broken the pot at the beginning, then the situation at home would be different now.

It should probably be similar to the second uncle’s house where everything is going crazy.

The older brother sets a good example, and the younger siblings follow suit.

If you don't do well, your younger siblings will follow suit and even get worse.

The second uncle didn't educate his eldest son well, so Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu took it easy, and it wasn't much better.

But Xu Qing persisted all the way, so the life at home is relatively better than that of the second uncle's family.

Now Patriotic is also working. Although he is an apprentice, his salary is not high, only 27 yuan.

But coupled with Xu Qing's monthly salary of 56 yuan, the total is 83 yuan.

Although compared with the second uncle, the first uncle, and the third uncle in the front yard, these three old comrades who have worked for many years, the two brothers' salary plus one yuan cannot catch up at the moment.

But life at home will only get better and better in the future.

As for the second brother's future studies, Xu Qing planned to let him continue his studies in college when the factory launched the recommendation of workers, peasants and soldiers to go to college.

People must take a long-term view, and cannot stop moving forward just because of the small profits after graduating from technical secondary school.

Of course, attending a technical secondary school is also a good choice.

However, every family's situation is different. If the house really can't cook, it can't eat.

Xu Qing will definitely discuss it with his younger brothers and sisters.

But the problem is that Xu Qing is now in the factory, and he is a cadre of the fourth-level clerk, so he is not bad.

Moreover, he has the ability to be divided into two parts, so why should his younger siblings finish their studies early to make money to support the family?

Xu Qing hopes that they can study in peace and be more promising in the future.

At this moment Xu Fengming bit the steamed bun in his hand, looked at the second brother who had just woken up for a while, and said curiously:
"Second brother, are you really that tired from working in the factory?"

Xu Aiguo picked up the millet porridge in the enamel bowl in front of him, took a sip, put down the bowl, nodded and said:

"Tired, I'm so tired that my bones are about to fall apart."

Xu Fengming's eyes widened for a moment, he pinched the chopsticks in his hands, and thoughts were racing in his head.

Within three seconds, he quickly said to Xu Qing: "Brother, after I graduate from high school tomorrow, can I not go to work in the factory?"

Xu Qing looked at his third brother who had just retreated, and said angrily:

"No, I want you to study hard. If you don't study, you will also work in the factory as soon as you graduate next year."

Xu Fengming suddenly lost his appetite, looked sad, and felt uneasy.

The little girl was gloating at the side, and said with a smile: "Third brother, now I know I'm afraid, and you deserve it for letting you not study at school!"

Xu Fengming snorted, seeing that the little girl looked down on him, he immediately puffed up his chest and said:
"Who is afraid? The second brother and the eldest brother are not afraid. How could I be afraid?"

After Xu Fengming finished speaking, he rolled his eyes and said with a playful smile: "Brother, you have been in the factory for several years. When I enter the factory next year, you can help me arrange a more relaxed job. Just like Damao in our courtyard. Like brother, I think it would be good to be a projectionist."

Xu Qing stopped the chopsticks in his hand and was about to speak when the little girl looked at Xu Fengming with white eyes and hummed:

"Third brother, you have a beautiful idea. Aren't you sincerely trying to make things difficult for me? There are so many people in the factory, and I am not the director of the factory. How can I help you make arrangements?"

Xu Fengming turned his eyes up, thought for a while, and felt that what his sister said was right.

He has been to the Red Star Rolling Mill. The factory is so big and there are so many people. If it is an easier job, there must be many people rushing to do it.

"Okay then, at worst, I'll get off to the workshop just like the second brother."

Xu Fengming thought for a while and said indifferently.

Obviously, I don't know anything about what it's like to work in a workshop, except that I'm tired.

Xu Qing didn't tell him that after next year, it would be impossible for his third brother to enter the factory.

He likes to play and go to the countryside to go wild when the time comes.

After two or three years of suffering, he will mature, and then he will find a way to let him go to college like his second brother.

Xu Aiguo was eating his meal. After listening to his third brother's words, he looked up at his eldest brother Xu Qing, feeling indescribably complicated.

This time he experienced the pain that his eldest brother suffered when he first entered the factory, and he knew how difficult it was for his eldest brother in the past.

I was in awe of Xu Qing in my heart.

Seeing that his second brother seemed touched, Xu Qing smiled and said nothing.

Early the next morning, Xu Aiguo got up early, didn't eat breakfast, got dressed and went to the factory alone.

He is currently an apprentice, and according to what everyone in the third workshop told him, according to the rules passed down in the factory, apprentices have to arrive early for work every day.

The eldest brother Xu Qing was like that at the beginning, and Xu Aiguo naturally followed in his footsteps.

But now, it's not what it used to be, the factory is in a mess, and there's nothing to do during work hours, so it doesn't make much sense for Xu Aiguo to go to the factory early in the morning.

But Xu Qing didn't stop him. It wasn't a bad thing for his second brother to leave early.

But when the second younger brother was about to leave, Xu Qing took a steamed bun from the kitchen, handed it to him and said, "It's okay if you don't eat in the morning, take it and eat it on the road."

The current situation at home is much better than it was in 62. There is no need to go to work hungry in the morning.

Xu Aiguo took the steamed bun, took a bite, and walked outside the house while eating the steamed bun.

The second uncle who lived in the backyard got up early and came out of the house. He was a little surprised to see Xu Aiguo going to the factory so early. He felt that this boy was stupid because of studying.

It's obviously a day-to-day routine in the factory, and there's nothing wrong with it. Going to work so early makes my brain wet.

Just thinking about it, no, Xu Qing is the big brother, wouldn't he tell him?

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Aiguo, who was leaving the central courtyard and holding a steamed bun, frowned, and immediately began to think secretly in his heart.

However, Liu Haizhong thought for a long time and couldn't figure anything out.

But he felt in his heart that Xu Qing must have his own intentions for letting Aiguo enter the factory so early.

After all, Xu Qing is a cadre in the factory, no matter how big or small the official is, he must know more than the worker.

Thinking of this, Liu Haizhong hastily turned around and entered the room, and said to the Second Aunt:
"Give me my coat, I'm going to work now."

The second aunt looked confused. She didn't know what was wrong with her own boss. She actually had to go to the factory so early in the morning.

"Old Liu, you are crazy. What are you doing at the factory so early?"

Liu Haizhong was too lazy to talk nonsense, so he took the clothes, put them on, fastened the buttons, and hurriedly walked through the courtyard towards the factory.
