Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 256 Third Brother Graduation
Xu Qing was not surprised at all that Xu Damao was scolded.

Although Jia Zhang is a sarcastic person, he is not a madman after all.

He won't scold anyone he catches in the compound.

At this time Jia Zhang was thrown from the middle court, so Xu Damao had offended her.

And through Jia Zhang's yelling and cursing, Xu Qing probably knew the reason.

Xu Damao wants to mix up Shazhu and Qin Jingru today, and the breakthrough is on Qin Huairu.

It must have been bad things about Qin Huairu, which provoked Jia Zhang and asked her to come from the middle court to seek life and death with him.

Otherwise, according to Jia Zhang's behavior, as long as it is not her family's business, she will never take care of it.

Although Xu Qing couldn't figure out the details, the original appearance of the whole thing should be like this.

It's just that such a trivial matter seems as small as a mustard seed.

And at this moment, the little girl and Xu Fengming came back from school together.

Now there are two of them, one is a senior in high school and the other is a freshman in high school.

However, Xu Fengming, who was in the third year of high school, was not focused on studying at all. Wearing a blue cotton-padded jacket, he walked into the backyard and saw Mrs. Jia Zhang standing at the door of Xu Damao's house with her hands on her hips, cursing at Xu Damao.

Xu Fengming was a little curious for a while, turned his head to look, then ran to his elder brother Xu Qing and said:

"Brother, why did Brother Damao offend Aunt Zhang today?"

Xu Qing was about to speak when the grandfather in the room came out with a cigarette pipe in his mouth. Seeing the little girl and Feng Ming, he said cheerfully: "You two little guys are out of school. Come in for dinner. Your grandma can't do anything these days." I’ve been looking forward to your return.”

As soon as Xu Fengming heard what his grandfather said, he stopped thinking about why Xu Damao was being scolded, and hurried back to the house with the little girl.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, after being scolded dry, Mrs. Jia returned to the middle courtyard under the persuasion of the second aunt and the first mother.

The backyard was finally quiet.

As for this matter, when to turn the chapter, it depends on when Jia Zhang's mood will improve.

But according to Jia Zhang's heart, Xu Damao will not be let go every ten days and half a month.

Xu Damao was in trouble.

In this way, he not only offended the Jia family, but Sha Zhu also offended.

However, Xu Qing had warned him before, but if Xu Damao didn't listen, what could be done.

At this moment, Xu Qing was sitting in his house, chatting with his grandparents, third brother and little girl.

The second brother, Xu Aiguo, took the flour bag and filled the rations for the younger siblings in the kitchen for the next week.

In the past, Xu Qing did this for the three of them.

Now, Aiguo also started to work, so he took over the work from the elder brother and took the initiative to help the elder brother take care of his younger siblings.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Xu Qing, his grandma, and his second brother sent the little girl and Feng Ming out of the compound who were going back to school.

When passing by the middle courtyard, Shazhu, who had been staying at Jia's house for nearly a day, saw Xu Qing and his party. He immediately ran out of Jia's house and walked to Xu Qing. He grinned at Xu Qing with his teeth bared, then reached out and took out a Pass the White Rabbit toffee to the little girl and Xu Fengming.

"Boy, you know, brother, I'm getting married soon!"

Shazhu's face was flushed, and what he said to Xu Fengming was very proud and happy.

On the one hand, when Xu Fengming was young, Si Zhu liked to make trouble with him the most.

On the other hand, Shazhu wanted to thank Xu Qing. If Xu Qing hadn't told him to beware of Xu Damao in advance, Xu Damao would definitely be messed up with Qin Jingru today.

Xu Fengming didn't know the reason for this, so he took the candy and said with a smile: "Brother Yuzhu, I wish you a happy wedding!"

After Xu Fengming finished speaking, he continued: "Brother Yu Zhu, you have sent out the wedding candy, when are you going to have a wedding?"

Silly Zhu turned his head to look at Jia's house, then quickly winked at Xu Fengming, waved his hands and said:
"Boy, this is not wedding candy, but after a while, my brother and I will get engaged, and you will be indispensable for the wedding candy."

Xu Fengming bared his teeth and smiled, "Brother Yuzhu, it has to be you!"

Xu Fengming gave a thumbs up to Silly Zhu, immediately peeled off a piece of candy, stuffed it into his mouth, then peeled off another piece, handed it to grandma and said:
"Grandma, this candy tastes better than fruit candy, try it."

The old man looked at the white milk candy and was reluctant to eat it, so he turned around and stuffed it into the little girl's mouth.

Sha Zhu took a look, and reached out to take out all the toffee left on his body.

"Qingzi, brother, I only have these few on me. You can take them back to your house."

Xu Qing knew what Sha Zhu meant, so he stayed away from Sha Zhu.

Silly Zhu is happy today, it’s just a few candies, nothing more.

Xu Qing stood in the middle courtyard and had a brief chat with Shazhu, and saw Qin Jingru peeking out secretly as he lifted the curtain.

Xu Qing winked at Sha Zhu.

Silly Zhu turned his head and looked back, saw Qin Jingru, turned around and said with a smile:
"Qingzi, I'll go back first, and we'll talk in the evening."

After that, Shazhu trotted towards Jia's house.

Xu Qing turned around to accompany his grandma, took his second brother, and continued to send Feng Ming and the little girl out of the hospital.

In the alley, Xu Fengming was eating toffee, holding a dough bag in his right hand, and asked Xu Qing:
"Brother, is the girl at the door of Jia's house the target of Brother Yu Zhu?"

Xu Qing hummed, and the little girl at the side said: "Brother, Brother Yu Zhu's partner looks quite good-looking, but it's just not as good as Sister Jing Hong."

"Grandma, do you think so?" The little girl leaned on her grandma and held the old man's arm.

When the little girl said this, Xu Fengming, who was eating the toffee that Sha Zhu had just given him, immediately nodded in agreement:
"That's right, what Xiaoya said is absolutely right, I also think Miss Jinghong is still pretty."

Xu Aiguo also said at this time: "That's natural, Miss Jinghong is the pillar of their regiment."

Grandma heard the three little guys praising their unmarried sister-in-law all the time. A smile appeared on her experienced face, but she didn't say anything.

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Qing supported his grandma, watched the little girl and the third brother disappear into the crowd on the street with his second brother Aiguo, and then turned back to the compound.

In fact, today it was mainly grandma who wanted to see them off.

Because the elderly are worried about it.

When Xu Qing and the others were young, grandma was in the countryside, and Xu Qing, brother and sister, went to school, and she couldn't help it.

Although they are all older now, in grandma's eyes, no matter how old they are, they are still children.

Because after Xu Qing gets married, she will go back to the countryside, and there will be few opportunities to see them again in the future.

eight pm.

Silly Zhu cooked two dishes in his own room and invited Xu Qing to drink.

"Qingzi, brother, I really need to thank you very much. You really got it right today. That grandson of Xu Damao really wants to trip me up."

Silly Zhu picked up the wine cup, clinked glasses with Xu Qing, smacked his lips, sat in front of the table, stretched out his hand to take out a cigarette, and handed Xu Qing a cigarette:

"Do you know? Aunt Zhang ran to your backyard at noon to scold Xu Damao, the grandson of Xu Damao, and told Qin Jingru: I have an unclear relationship with Sister Qin."

Silly Zhu finished speaking angrily, and said angrily: "Qingzi, just watch, brother, I will find a chance in the future, and I must fix that bastard Xu Damao properly!"

Xu Qing took the cigarette, lit it and said, "Brother Silly Zhu, don't rush to fix him, you'd better settle the matter between you and Qin Jingru."

Silly Zhu picked up a peanut with chopsticks, stuffed it into his mouth and said, "That's for sure. After Qin Jingru and I get married, we will try to have a fat boy within a year. I will piss Xu Damao off to death!"

Xu Qing smiled, reached out to grab the wine bottle, filled Sha Zhu's wine cup with wine, and ate and drank with Sha Zhu.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Qing left Shazhu's house.

At this moment, the night in the courtyard is cold, the starry sky is bright, and the moon is as bright as a candle.

Time flies, and in a blink of an eye, it’s the end of June.

Xu Fengming, who came back from school, threw his schoolbag on the kang, excited as if he was about to escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

"Grandpa, are you happy when I graduate next month?"

Xu Fengming sat on the edge of the kang and asked with a grin while helping his grandfather fill the tobacco pot with shredded tobacco.

The old man squeezed the cigarette stick and said: "You are disobedient, you can enjoy yourself after graduation, what am I happy about?"

Xu Fengming blinked his eyes and said: "Grandpa, you forgot, as soon as I graduate, my elder brother will get married, are you unhappy?"

When the old man heard this, his face was instantly filled with a smile.

The eldest grandson's marriage is naturally worthy of his happiness.

He had been looking forward to this day for half a year.

Of course, he was also happy when Feng Ming graduated.

It's just that some time ago, he heard from his eldest grandson that this year the country called for educated youth to go to the countryside, and Feng Ming is graduating at this time, which is not a good time.

"Feng Ming, grandpa asked you, would you like to stay in the city or go to the countryside?"

Xu Fengming knew what his grandfather meant and said with a playful smile: "Go to the countryside. I'm tired of staying in the city. I've long wanted to follow you to the countryside."

The old man suddenly showed confusion on his face.

It was not what he wanted to see when he finally sent his eldest son to the city, but now let his grandson return from the city to the countryside.

Hearing Feng Ming's answer, the old man smoked a pot of cigarettes with the pipe in his mouth, knocked the pot on the edge of the kang, and said:

"Well, Feng Ming, after your elder brother gets married, Grandpa will take you back to our village."

However, what the old man didn't know was that when educated youths go to the countryside, they don't go wherever they want, but are arranged by the state.

These days, during the planned economy period, everything must go according to the plan.

However, Xu Qing had asked someone to inquire about it during this time, and at the same time asked someone to do activities in advance, preparing for the third brother to go to the village where his village is located to exercise.

After all, Xu Qing wanted his third brother to wait a few years so that he could enter university through the workers, peasants and soldiers.

After Xu Qing's various arrangements, the place where Xu Fengming went to the countryside was finally implemented.

At that time, when grandpa and grandma are going back to the countryside, the third brother will be able to go back with them and take care of them along the way.

With the arrival of July, Xu Fengming's high school career is completely over.

And then, Xu Qing is going to marry Jinghong.

In addition to working in the factory, Xu Qing is busy preparing for his marriage to Jinghong.

After graduating, Xu Fengming, after two or three days of fun, rode his own bicycle to help his elder brother run around in Sijiu City to buy various wedding supplies.

In the past, when Xu Fengming was young, he could only let his elder brother worry about everything for him.

Now that he has graduated from high school, and there is still some time before he will go to the countryside, he volunteered to help his eldest brother share the work.

Xu Qing handed over all the accumulated tickets to him.

In addition, Xu Qing borrowed food from Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Yan Jiecheng in the courtyard, Er Mazi, Zhou Pingtai, Wang Dequan in the factory, and Wu Yuemei, Wei Shengli, Qian Bing, Tian Zhongqing, Chen Guodong and others in the office. Tickets and meat tickets, etc.

Xu Qing also borrowed industrial coupons.

Anyway, after Xu Qing used his ability to share it, he would slowly return it to them in private.

I found a lot of people and borrowed a lot.

Xu Qing used his ability to score one point at a time, and there were a lot of places in front of him in an instant.

The borrowed ones remained untouched, and Xu Qing gave the separated ones to his third brother. At the same time, he also gave the money to buy sewing machines and other items.

Xu Qing got married immediately, and the courtyard became lively again.

Yan Bugui, the third grandpa in the front yard, has been smiling for the past two days, waiting for Xu Qing to ask him to write a gift list on the wedding day.

Of course, Xu Qing had to find him for such a matter.

Yan Bugui is the third master of the compound, and he has written a good handwriting, so it is very suitable to find him.

Therefore, when there was still a week before the wedding day, Xu Qing took a pack of cigarettes and went to the third uncle's house in the front yard to sit there.

Yan Bugui was very happy and said cheerfully:

"Xu Qing, don't worry, this matter will be taken care of by me, the third uncle."

As for the wedding banquet, there is no doubt that Sha Zhu will organize it.

It's just that before Xu Qing told Shazhu, Shazhu himself took the initiative to say:

"Qingzi, I'll take care of your wedding banquet, brother. If you dare to invite others, don't blame me for being impatient with you!"

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Brother Silly Zhu, the person I want to invite is you. Others don't know your cooking skills, but I know it."

Silly Zhu said with a look on his face, "That is."

Now Sha Zhu's cooking skills are getting better and better. Even when the big bosses in the factory want to treat guests, they ask Sha Zhu to do it by name.

Coupled with Xu Qing's relationship with him, he would never seek outsiders.

And Xu Damao was not idle, Xu Qing got married, how could he only think about drinking wedding wine.

When he got married, Xu Qing accompanied him to pick up the bride.

Now, Xu Qing is about to get married, and he will definitely not be able to run away when he picks up the bride.

In addition, Xu Qing said hello to the factory and planned to borrow a car from the factory.

As for gas money and so on, Xu Qing paid for it himself.

But as for the driver, Xu Qing let Xu Damao figure it out.

In terms of communication, Xu Qing knew that Xu Damao was very capable.

Xu Damao patted his chest and assured, "Qingzi, brother, I'm fine here."

As for the new quilt for marriage, Xu Qing originally wanted to go directly to state-run stores or department stores to buy it.

But grandma felt that there was no need to waste the money. Since the beginning of the year, the old man and the old lady who lived in the backyard helped Xu Qing do it.

The little girl usually comes back on weekends, and she will also take time to help out for a while.

When the eldest brother gets married, the younger sister will naturally have to do her part.

Because Xu Aiguo works in the factory, there is usually no place to help at the elder brother's wedding, so on weekends, he and his third brother Feng Ming carried back the new furniture for the elder brother's wedding one by one.

The first and second uncles in the compound were not idle either.

One is the big butler of Xu Qing's wedding, and the other is the second butler.

Yi Zhonghai has experience in this kind of thing. When Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao got married in the courtyard, he watched Zhang Luo busy.

Although Liu Haizhong didn't understand much, with Yi Zhonghai around, it was fine.

As a result, the preparations for Xu Qing's wedding were almost finalized.

Standing at the door of the house, Xu Qing looked at the brilliant sunset, thinking that he would be the bridegroom's official tomorrow, while being excited, he couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

　I have been mentally drained these past two days. I have been thinking a lot and writing little. Sorry! ! !
