Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 245

The little girl made lunch at noon, no one ate it first, but waited for the eldest brother Xu Qing and the second and third brothers to come back.

At this time, I saw my eldest brother and the others returning to the backyard. I hurriedly turned around and walked into the kitchen, bringing the food to the table in the front room.

Xu Qing parked his bicycle in the shade at the door of the house, and after entering the house with his second and third brothers, he washed his face before sitting at the table and having lunch.

The little girl asked curiously: "Brother, have you found Brother Jiefang and Xie Kuang from the third uncle's house?"

Xu Fengming held the steamed bun, took a big bite, and said while chewing, "Don't mention it, who knows where they are, they ran all morning, and they didn't see any ghosts."

The little girl pinched the steamed bun and said, "The third uncle and the third aunt are probably going to be sad again."

"Then I'm sad!" Xu Fengming said unconcernedly: "Who asked the third uncle to plot against his own son? Otherwise, Jiefang Xiekuang would have come back long ago."

Xu Qing was speechless when he heard his third brother say this.

Because Feng Ming is right!

If the third master had treated them better, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang would not necessarily take advantage of the changing weather to run out and never return.

However, there is nothing that can be done about it. The third uncle is just one person, and he will not let anyone go if he makes a plan.

Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang have been influenced by it since childhood, and of course, there are also Yan Jiecheng and Yan Jiedi.

If it weren't for this, why would Yan Jiecheng not go to find the two younger brothers today.

And about this point, it was what Shazhu complained when he returned to the alley earlier.

Xu Qing ate the buns steamed by his younger sister, without further thinking, he turned his head and praised the little girl.

"The steamed buns were steamed well today, soft and white!"

The little girl's pretty face showed happiness for a moment, and she smiled sweetly. Then she seemed to have remembered something, and her brows furrowed again.

Xu Fengming bared his teeth and said with a grin: "Xiaoya, did you forget to mix in the stick noodles?"

The little girl glanced at her third brother faintly and said humbly, "It seems like it's not adulterated."

Then, he turned sideways and said to Xu Qing: "Brother, I will definitely not forget it next time."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "It's okay, just forget it. We should still have a lot of white flour in our family now. If we occasionally eat a few white flour steamed buns, we can improve our food."

Xu Fengming curled his lips when he saw that his eldest brother did not reprimand the little girl, "Brother, you are so partial."

The little girl replied urgently: "Brother is partial to me. What's wrong? I steamed the steamed buns today. How about you do the cooking from tomorrow?"

Xu Fengming laughed immediately and said, "Xiaoya, third brother, I'm partial to you too. I eat the most steamed buns every time. You don't know that."

"Hmph, that's not because you have a big appetite."

Xu Fengming quickly lowered his head, picked up the mung bean soup cooked by the little girl and said:

"It's so hot today, I need to drink two more bowls."

Xu Qing was too lazy to listen to his third brother talking nonsense here.

But this year's weather is really hot. It's unbearably hot right now, and it's unbearable if it's in ambush in a few days.

After lunch, Xu Qing and his younger siblings sat in the room, holding cattail fans and fanning them constantly.

In the courtyard at this time, the sun was so poisonous and hot that no one could be seen in the entire Sanjin compound.

Xu Qing shook his fan and thought about buying an electric fan in the house.

I just thought that I just bought a bicycle today, so I forgot about it.

Electric fans these days are not cheap. Although they are not as expensive as bicycles, if you want to buy them, you still need tickets and money.

If you don’t have a ticket, use industrial coupons.

The industrial coupons Xu Qing has will be used to buy a sewing machine when he and Ma Jinghong get married next year. How can they be used to buy an electric fan?

Moreover, there are no electric fans in other houses in the courtyard. If I buy this, people from the whole courtyard will come to use it. I am afraid that the cool breeze blowing from the three leaves will not be much cool.

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the temperature gradually dropped. Xu Qing was sitting in the courtyard, chatting with Xu Damao and Shazhu looking at the newly purchased bicycle.

Xu Damao was very annoyed that Yan Jiecheng didn't go out with the third master Yan Pugui to find Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang in the morning, and said to Shazhu with a cigarette in his mouth:

"Silly Zhu, why didn't you tell me earlier in the morning? If I had known that Yan Xiecheng wouldn't look for him, I would have turned around and gone back to sleep. They didn't even look for their own family members. Riding a bicycle around the city under the bright sun.

The third master is really good enough. After a few hard trips, we gave a cigarette to one of us, but he really has him! "

Silly Zhu rolled his eyes at Xu Damao and snorted: "Xu Damao, why didn't you tell me in front of the third uncle and the third aunt this morning, why are you complaining to me and Qingzi now?"

"I..." Xu Damao smoked a cigarette, glared at Shazhu, swallowed the words that came to his mouth, and looked at Xu Fengming who was cycling around in the courtyard.

Xu Damao is not stupid, how could he say what he just said in front of Yan Bugui.

Xu Aiguo woke up from his sleep and walked out of the room, sitting down next to his eldest brother Xu Qing.

Silly Zhu took out a cigarette, handed one to Xu Aiguo and said: "Boy, come here, smoke one to relieve your fatigue."

Xu Aiguo waved his hand and said, "Brother Yuzhu, you can smoke it, I can't."

Silly Zhu raised his eyebrows, glanced sideways at Xu Qing, put his hand on Xu Aiguo's shoulder and said, "If you don't know how to learn, I'll teach you, brother."

"Qingzi, do you have any objection?" Silly Zhu turned his head and asked Xu Qing.

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Brother Silly Zhu, I won't stop Aiguo from smoking, but I want to teach him. You don't have to worry about it, I have it."

Silly Zhu heard what Xu Qing said, so he had no choice but to give up.

But Silly Zhu was bored and suddenly thought about it. He turned around and winked at Xu Aiguo and said, "Have one. Your eldest brother is not as old as me as a smoker. I will teach you and you will learn it in less than 5 minutes."

Xu Aiguo shook his head, "Forget it, Brother Yuzhu, I don't like it, I feel choked."

"What are you choking on? Listen to me, brother, and you won't feel choking after you learn it."

Seeing that Sha Zhu was going to play tricks, Xu Qing gave Xu Damao a look, and Xu Damao raised his foot to kick Sha Zhu and said:

"Silly Zhu, you are done with it. If you are patriotic and don't want to smoke, just stop here. If you want more cigarettes, give it to me. You can't smoke every day, but you have the nerve to teach others how to smoke."

Silly Zhu was not happy, so he pouted at Xu Damao angrily.

"Xu Damao, you know nothing, just stay here and I'm willing to smoke you, do you care?
Besides, smoking is to support national construction, do you understand, do you not read newspapers? "

Xu Qing couldn't laugh or cry, unexpectedly, Sha Zhu actually talked about the truth.

Although what he said is correct, the tobacco tax has indeed contributed a lot to the country's construction in these years.

But the second brother doesn't like smoking. It's not possible for Silly Zhu to have fun on his own and be happy with his patriotism.

Xu Qing suddenly said: "Brother Silly Zhu, please save your worries. I think it will be more reliable if you teach my second brother how to cook."

When Sha Zhu heard Xu Qing say this again, he looked up and saw Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's house. They came out of the house and found the steps by themselves:
"Qingzi, look at those two boys from the second uncle's family, they learned to smoke without being taught."

Xu Qing glanced at the Liu Guangtian brothers and said nothing.

Xu Qing is not so big-hearted as to care about them no matter what they want.

I used to say a few words for the sake of the second uncle and the second aunt.

Now, Xu Qingli doesn't even want to talk about it.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, the four Xu Qing brothers and sisters finished their dinner, pulled out a straw mat, spread it in the courtyard, and then sat on it together to enjoy the cool air.

The room was too hot to stay in, even though it wasn't as hot as at noon at night, but just after dinner, the room couldn't stay in.

The young couple Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe also pulled out a straw mat and spread it on the ground next to Xu Qing's straw mat.

The old lady sat among the crowd and told everyone about the old society.

The evening breeze is gentle, the stars are dotted, the moon is high, and the night is dark.

The old lady told the story quietly, Xu Qing shook the cattail leaf fan to drive away the mosquitoes.

Xu Fengming was lying next to the old lady, enjoying the cool breeze, which made the little girl look disgusted.

Yi Zhonghai and Da Ma had nothing to do in the middle courtyard. When they walked to the backyard, they saw many people sitting in the courtyard. They took off their shoes, joined them, and talked about some things he experienced when he was young.

In the front yard, the third uncle and the third aunt looked at their eldest son Yan Jiecheng, who had just returned home, and their noses were crooked with anger.

"What are you doing back here? My two brothers have been outside for more than a year and they don't care at all. Do you think you are the big brother?!"

Yan Bugui smoked a cigarette, scolded him with a sullen face.

Yan Jiecheng also contradicted him. After finishing his meal with his head down, he put down his bowl and chopsticks, stood up and said:

"Dad, there are you and my mother at home. It's useless for me to worry about it. By the way, there is something I have to tell you. I have discussed it with Yu Li. I will do things in a few months. The bride price and the house will be with you." My mother watched and helped me organize it."

Yan Bugui was stunned immediately when he heard the words.

The third mother looked happy and asked Yan Jiecheng.

"Jie Cheng, tell mom honestly, have you made an agreement with Yu Li?"

"That's for sure, this can be false!" After Yan Jiecheng finished speaking, he saw that there was still half a piece of steamed bun on the table, held it in his hand and started eating.

Yan Bugui felt mixed feelings at this time.

The good news is that the boss will be able to get things done soon, and he, as an old man, can be regarded as light on his shoulders.

There are more worries.

Once the boss gets married, he will have to spend a lot of money.

This is more uncomfortable than killing him, but as an old man, how can you not worry about your son's life events.

Secondly, the second and third children are still outside.

Yan Bugui's mood was indescribably complicated. He puffed on his cigarette and suddenly frowned.

And at this moment, in the backyard, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the second aunt also came out of the house and sat in front of everyone in the courtyard.

On the other hand, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two brothers, hid in the house and never came out.

But no one cares about either of them.

It's just right if you don't come out, so you don't get bored.

At 10:30 in the evening, Yi Zhonghai and Auntie got up and went back to the courtyard.

Silly Zhu was not in a hurry and stayed there until after eleven o'clock. After getting up and helping the old lady into the house with Xu Qing, he walked back towards the middle courtyard with a cigarette dangling in his mouth and stepping on the moonlight.

And just when Xu Qing asked his second and third brothers to roll up the mat and prepare to go back to the house to sleep, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's family spread a straw mat in the courtyard.
