Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 377 Dirty old man
In the backyard, Xu Damao had already dressed, folded the quilt randomly, and cleaned the house thoroughly. He was chatting with Xu Qing and Aiguo in the yard.

The air is crisp in autumn, and the dazzling sunshine shines on the body without the heat of summer. It is warm and very comfortable.

Xu Damao held a cigarette in his mouth and sat on his bicycle, smoking and chatting.

His eyes suddenly caught a glimpse of Qin Jingru and Qin Huairu coming from the central courtyard, and he couldn't help but be stunned.

When Qin Jingru entered the backyard, she saw Xu Damao at a glance. She was a little ashamed, but with Qin Huairu by her side, she lowered her head slightly and walked towards Xu Damao.

Seeing this, Xu Qinghe Aiguo looked at each other and left directly to avoid Xu Damao and Qin Jingru being embarrassed.

As for Qin Huairu, as Qin Jingru's cousin, she stood in front of Xu Damao, glanced at Xu Damao, and said:
"Xu Damao, my sister bought you a coat today, you should go back to the house and try it on."

After Qin Huairu finished speaking, she pushed Qin Jingru, turned around, and went straight to Xu Qing's house.

It's not easy for her to say much about this kind of thing. Xu Damao and Qin Jingru are a couple, so let them enter the room and talk slowly.

Once Xu Qing, Aiguo and Qin Huairu left, only Xu Damao and Qin Jingru were left.

Qin Jingru squeezed the coat in her hand, stretched out her hand and stuffed it into Xu Damao's hand, with a shy look on her face, "I just bought it, you can try it."

Xu Damao didn't want the coat that Qin Jingru stuffed into his arms, but remembering what Xu Qing told him about last night, the resentment towards Qin Jingru in his heart dissipated a lot.

He hummed, looked down at the coat, turned around and walked back to the house.

Seeing Xu Damao accepting it, Qin Jingru was instantly excited, and hurriedly followed into the house.

But as soon as he entered the room, Xu Damao didn't try on the coat, he threw it on the kang, turned his head to look at Qin Jingru, his eyes glaring angrily.

Qin Jingru was so frightened that she trembled, "Da Mao, I was wrong. I am not a human being. Don't be angry."

Xu Damao snorted and looked out the window. Seeing that no one in the courtyard was looking towards his house, he said coldly:

"Qin Jingru, don't think I don't know what your plans are. I'm telling you the truth. Even if I am not the deputy director, I can still be popular and drink spicy food. If you still want to live with me, from now on, give me less I am embarrassed in the courtyard.”

Qin Jingru was as silent as a cicada, standing in front of Xu Damao, not daring to breathe.

Xu Damao took a puff of cigarette, and then said: "I was drunk last night, what did I do, what did I tell you, I don't remember, but you listen to me clearly, I didn't divorce you this time, It's for Qingzi's and your sister's sake, if there is another time, pack up and get out!"

Qin Jingru glanced at Xu Damao with evasive eyes, muttering in her heart, what happened last night?

It's just that she can't understand it, so she doesn't want to think about it.

Anyway, she is back, and she can continue to enjoy happiness with Xu Damao, and she is indescribably happy.

I didn't have the time to think about the rest of the things.

Seeing that Xu Damao's anger was almost gone, Qin Jingru hurriedly walked to the edge of the kang, grabbed the coat on the kang, put it on Xu Damao, and said with a smile:
"Da Mao, check to see if it fits. If it's too small, I'll change it for you."

Xu Damao gave Qin Jingru a blank look with a cold face, and changed the coat he just bought on his own.

Qin Jingru didn't dare to speak, pinched the clothes that Xu Damao had taken off, twisted around and took all the dirty clothes on the kang to her side, threw them into the laundry tub, and went out of the house with them, sitting at the door of the house to take advantage of the good weather , clean up.

At this time, the second aunt who lived in the backyard came out of her own room and saw Qin Jingru washing clothes for Xu Damao in the yard, she couldn't help smiling.

Knowing that Xu Damao has reconciled with Qin Jingru.

After all, it's impossible for a couple to just leave just now.

At the same time, at Xu Qing's house, Qin Huairu drank the tea that Jinghong poured for her. She also saw Qin Huairu sitting in the courtyard washing Xu Damao's clothes, and her heart suddenly felt at ease.

Just now she was worried that Xu Damao would make trouble with Qin Jingru again, but now it seems that everything will be fine.

Qin Huairu put down the enamel teapot and watched Ma Jinghong knitting a sweater for Xu Hongzhi for a while. After sitting for a while, she said:
"Xu Qing, Jing Hong, the old lady was sick yesterday, I'll go and see her."

Xu Qing said hello, stood up and escorted Qin Huairu out of the house.

Qin Huairu stood at the door of Xu Qing's house and turned to look at Qin Jingru. Seeing that Xu Damao did not come out of the house to find trouble with Qin Jingru, she turned back and said "see you later" to Xu Qing, and then walked directly to the old lady.

She didn't see the old lady yesterday, and Jiazhang didn't even come to the backyard, and she heard that the other houses in the compound all visited the old lady.

Qin Huairu didn't want people in the courtyard to say that her family was wrong, although she didn't have anything in her hand, it was a kind gesture to say hello and take a look.

So as not to let the people in the compound gossip.

The old lady looked better today than yesterday, and when she saw Qin Huairu coming, she asked her to sit on the kang, "Huairu, drink water by yourself, I can't get off the kang, you come by yourself."

Qin Huairu hurriedly said: "Old lady, I'm not thirsty, I just came out of Xu Qing's house, if you are thirsty, I will pour some for you."

"Okay, then you can help me dry a tea vat of boiling water. I'm really useless now. I can't even drink water."

Qin Huairu picked up the thermos bottle in the old lady's room, poured hot water into the enamel teapot, and said:

"As for you, if you need anything, just ask the people in the hospital for help. There are so many people in our hospital, so you can just shout."

The old lady treats Qin Huairu quite well, but she likes her a lot more than Qin Jingru.

Although speaking of it, Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru both married from the countryside and came to the city.

But Qin Jingru's behavior, the old lady doesn't like it at all.

In terms of diligence, Qin Jingru is not as good as Qin Huairu, everyone in this compound knows it.

Secondly, in order to support her three children, Qin Huairu never thought of leaving the compound since Jia Dongxu's death.

How could the old lady fail to see Qin Huairu's disposition.

If he was a bad-hearted person, he would have oiled the soles of his feet and sneaked away, so he would not want to suffer for himself.

Although Qin Huairu didn't come to see her yesterday, the old lady didn't blame her at all.

Knowing that Qin Huairu's family was in a bad situation, Jia and Zhang had nothing to do with anything. Qin Huairu took care of everything by herself, and she was too busy to have time.

Of course, even if Qin Huairu doesn't want to come, what can the old lady say?

It is a friendship to come, and it is normal not to come.

The old lady is old, but her head is still shrewd. She has lived her whole life and has experienced everything and seen everyone.

The people in the courtyard knew who was good and who was not.

That is, I don't want to say it.

Qin Huairu put a freshly poured enamel teapot of boiling water on the edge of the kang, and Silly Zhu came in from outside the house. Seeing Qin Huairu there, he said:

"Sister Qin, you are here just in time. I borrowed a thermometer from the third uncle's house. You can measure it for the old lady."

The current relationship between Qin Huairu and Shazhu is a little delicate. Although they often communicate with each other, they seldom see each other alone.

Qin Huairu helped Shazhu wash her clothes and asked her to take them out from the house.

It can be said that after Sha Zhu followed Xu Qing back from university, she never went to Sha Zhu's house again.

Qin Huairu reached out and picked up the thermometer that Sha Zhu had placed beside the old lady. After Sha Zhu turned his back, he untied the old lady's clothes and clamped it under his arm.

Silly Zhu stood at the door of the old lady's house and smoked a cigarette. Feeling almost done, he turned to look at Qin Huairu and said:

"Sister Qin, how is it? Is the old lady still burning?"

"Not burning, 36 degrees five, normal."

Silly Zhu said, sitting on the edge of the kang, keeping a distance from Qin Huairu, raised his hand to pinch the old lady's wrinkled hands, and stared at:
"Look at your hands, they are as thin as that dead tree branch. The aunt said, let me ask you what you want for lunch. She bought some meat and asked me to cook it for you."

"Zhuzi, let's make dumplings, I want to eat the dumplings you made."

Sha Zhu raised his head and said in a hey voice: "Old lady, you really know how to choose. I'll make dumplings for you alone. You intend to exhaust me to death."

"I've already bought meat. If I don't want to eat dumplings, I'll eat noodles with soybean paste."

The old lady knew that Sha Zhu likes to tease boredom with people for fun, so she deliberately teased him.

Sha Zhu raised his hand and scratched his hair, "That's okay, who told you to be the ancestor in the courtyard, if you want to eat dumplings, I'll go back to the house and make them for you."

After Shazhu finished speaking, he took the thermometer and left, leaving Qin Huairu alone with the old lady.

At noon, Shazhu made dumplings with pork and scallions, and as soon as he took them out of the pot with a strainer, he hurriedly served them to the old lady.

The old lady had her teeth fixed and was able to eat dumplings. She asked Silly Zhu to go to her kitchen and pour a dish of vinegar, dip the dumplings in them and eat them while saying:

"Zhuzi, you're a big boss now. A man in his thirties, are you really ready to beat him up?"

Silly Zhu sat aside, smoking a cigarette, "Old lady, don't worry about my affairs. You are old enough to take care of yourself. I have my own ideas about my affairs."

"You have a stupid idea," the old lady stopped her chopsticks and said seriously:
"Zhuzi, back then, your father quietly left you and ran away with Yuyu, which made you unable to achieve anything until now. Listen to me, if you really can't find the right one, just make do with Qin Huairu. Don't be too conceited when you become a cadre. In the past few years, instead of always giving relief to her family, you always lent her money. In my opinion, the money should be treated as a betrothal gift from you."

Silly Zhu tilted his head and said, "Sister Qin has slowly paid me back some over the years, but there isn't much left."

"Zhuzi, don't you listen to me, kid. Sooner or later, you will suffer. Look at Xiaoqing. His children are all in elementary school now. What about you? Are you really going to live alone for the rest of your life?"

Silly Zhu was upset when he was told that. He stood up and said, "Hey! Old lady, please spare me. I'll go back to my house to hide. I'll come back in the afternoon to get the bowl."

Silly Zhu left in a hurry until he rested at noon and slept in the middle courtyard, and then planned to go to the old lady's room in the backyard to get the bowls and chopsticks.

However, just as he came out of the house, stretched and stood at the door of the house, yawned and greeted the elder Yi Zhonghai, when he suddenly saw a dirty old man walking from the front yard.

Yan Bugui and Yan Jiecheng followed behind, trying hard to stop him, but they couldn't stop him, and they didn't respond to questions.

Sha Zhu frowned, and walked up to the old man in two steps, "Hey, old comrade, who can you find? If you are picking up junk, you are looking at the wrong place. There is no junk in our courtyard. You go to the alley to look for it."

"Boy, a good dog doesn't get in the way, get out of the way, Grandpa, I'm looking for someone!"

Silly Zhu was scolded inexplicably, and immediately stiffened his neck, and didn't say any more good words, "Old man, did you flatter you? If you don't listen to good words, you have to come to our yard to pretend to be a grandson. Well, who the hell are you looking for?" ?”

"Xu Damao, does he live in your courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Silly Zhu looked for Xu Damao, looked at the old man a few times, and pointed to the backyard.

"He lives in the backyard, go find him."

The old man put his hands behind his back and glanced coldly at Si Zhu, Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui and Yan Jie. He lowered his head and spat on the ground, then stabbed towards the backyard.

At this time, Xu Damao was pushing his bicycle in the backyard and was about to go out onto the street. He was startled when he bumped into an old man who rushed into the yard.

With their eyes facing each other, they all recognized each other.

Xu Damao's face darkened, and he snorted coldly, "You bastard, you've been fucking dead for over ten years, why haven't you died yet?"

"Xu Damao, please keep your mouth clean for me!"

Xu Damao stopped the bicycle directly, raised his hand and grabbed the old man's collar, "What are you doing in the old man's courtyard?"

"Grandpa came here specially to find you!"

At this time, Shazhu and Yan Jiecheng in the middle courtyard followed Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui into the backyard.

A stranger came to the courtyard with a fierce look on his face. Even the third mother brought Yu Li to the backyard from the front yard to see what was going on.

When Liu Haizhong and the second aunt in the backyard heard Xu Damao arguing with someone, they opened the door curtain and stood at the door of the house.

At this time, many people gathered around the backyard, but the dirty old man looked disdainful and allowed Xu Damao to hold his collar. With his dirty right hand, he took out a wrinkled economic cigarette from his body and held it in his mouth. At the corner of his chapped mouth, he took out the matchbox, lit a cigarette, took a sip, and said carelessly:
"Xu Damao, I just came back from the labor camp. You guys, hurry up and get me some water to cook. Grandpa, I'm hungry. I need to wash my face and eat."

"You old bastard, you're the only one who still eats, and shit can't keep up with the hot ones!"

Xu Damao cursed angrily, clenched his fist with his right hand, and was about to beat him.

The old man looked confident, "Xu Damao, if you don't serve grandpa well today, I won't be done with you!
By the way, I heard from San Huzi that you are an official now, cow, you are really embarrassing in our industry, grandpa will tell you what to say, if you don’t want the neighbors in your yard to work with you Knowing the shitty things you did before, I hurried to the street to buy wine and meat for grandpa. "

Yi Zhonghai didn't understand the situation, he was afraid that Xu Damao would cause trouble, so he stopped him and said:

"Da Mao, who is this person?"

Xu Damao said with a cold face: "Just an old bastard, I used to have some problems."

Yan Bugui stood aside, holding his glasses with his hand, looked at the old man carefully again, seeing that he was not a serious person, he coughed and said:

"Old comrade, if you have something serious to do with Xu Damao from our hospital, then talk to him properly, otherwise I will have someone call the police."

"Call, hurry up and call. It's just in time to call. I'll tell you what Xu Damao did before."

Seeing that the old man refused to eat, Yan Bugui sounded like he was holding onto Xu Damao, hesitated for a while, and didn't directly ask his son Yan Xiecheng to go to the police station to call someone.

At this moment, Xu Qing took his son from the house to the courtyard.

Xu Damao looked at Xu Qing from the corner of his eye, and said:
"Qingzi, come over and have a look, who is this old bastard?"
