Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 454: Don’t give me face, just look for a slap!

Xu Qing glanced coldly at the shouting young people.

I smiled in my heart.

He had never seen anyone before, including gangsters and hooligans on the street. He had never dealt with them before.

These few young people are really not doing well.

If you are not a gangster, you should have a better attitude.

He is the kind who is not qualified to be a gangster and just wants to make do with it.

Xu Qing said to the leader:

"Brother, if you drew the prize but didn't win, you have no one to blame. Next time I come to buy food, I will draw again. As long as my motorcycle is not taken away, you can come over anytime.

Today, take your brothers back. Brother, I still have to do business, so don’t cause trouble! "

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he looked at the leading young man and gestured toward the door.

He didn't want to have a conflict with these young people early in the morning.

Can't commit.

He is already in his thirties, married, and has a wife and children to support.

He is calm and mature.

He won't be irritable when things happen.

Unlike these young guys in front of me, they have nothing to do all day long.

His grain station still had to do business. Later, the adults and aunties who were going to the vegetable market to buy food would come in to buy grain, and he and Er Mazi had to socialize.

I don't have time to amuse Menzi with these young people.

I don't bother to argue with them.

It's okay to leave now when no one else comes in.

Save yourself the trouble early in the morning.

As for fear, that is impossible.

When Xu Qing was 17 years old, he dared to single-handedly challenge a group of gangsters on the street and rescued Li Fenghong from the Workers' Newspaper that had been robbed.

He has a foundation in martial arts and has never been intimidated by anyone.

During his further studies at university, he also competed with Yan Guohao, a veteran in his class.

Fear of itself does not exist.

If he wanted to take action, he wouldn't need Er Mazi's help, he could defeat him alone.

It's just that Xu Qing feels that these young people are not so arrogant. Although their ideological consciousness needs to be improved, they still have opportunities to change their ways.

It's not like those gangsters who hang out on the street all day long, looking here and there, stealing bags, and blackmailing people.

At best, they are just helping people in the alley.

Although the difference between the two seems not big.

But they are still fundamentally different.

If it were a gangster on the street, Xu Qing would never be so polite.

In addition, opening a business requires harmony and wealth.

After hearing Xu Qing's words, the leading young man looked at Xu Qing's calm and confident expression and felt a little timid.

Even though they have the advantage in numbers, in terms of age, their group is younger than Xu Qing and Er Mazi.

They caused trouble again at Xuqing Grain Station.

Unreasonable!

In case the police are alerted.

They couldn't eat anymore and walked away.

Just as the leading young man was hesitating, someone on the side curled his lips and shouted:

"Shopkeeper, what do you mean? You look down on our brothers, do you?
Today we bought food from your store. Each of our brothers must smoke once, otherwise, your store will be smashed! "

Xu Qing looked at the thin young man with a bamboo pole disdainfully.

The young man took advantage of the crowd and stared back at Xu Qing, wanting to shout again.

When Er Mazi saw this, he slapped the bamboo stick young man on the head and cursed:

"Grandson, you dare to find trouble here even if your hair is not neat and tidy, you are tired of living, aren't you?
Believe it or not, grandpa will twist your head off? ! "

Er Mazi has worked in the workshop for many years, and his hands are extremely strong.

As for the young man with the bamboo pole, he was short and thin. He was a head shorter than Er Mazi, just like a chicken.

Er Mazi exerted a little force with his right hand, and the young man with the bamboo pole immediately twisted his face in pain.

However, he refused to give in and grinned:

"If you dare, let go and let's fight!"

"Challenge your second uncle!"

Er Mazi cursed and increased the strength of his right hand, which instantly made the young man with a bamboo pole start to tremble in pain in his legs.

The leading young man saw that his companion was being restrained by Er Mazi, and felt angry. He wanted to call on several other people to beat Er Mazi together.

But before he and others could take action.

As soon as Xu Qing raised his hand, he slapped the leading young man on the face, causing his mouth to bleed, and he lay on the counter.

Several other people saw that their boss was slapped, and the young man with a bamboo pole was pressed on the head by Er Mazi, unable to move.

In an instant, everyone was trembling with fear and fled from the grain station in panic.

The one holding the food was even more shocked that he didn't want any more food. He turned around and ran out as hard as he could.

For fear of being caught by Xu Qing and Er Mazi.

In less than five seconds, except for the young man with the bamboo pole and the leader, everyone else had disappeared.

Xu Qing let go of the young man at the head, looked at Er Mazi, winked, and asked the young man to let go of the bamboo pole, and then said coldly:

"Don't give me face, I have to get slapped!

You two take your food and get out of here, don't be an eyesore to me! "

The leading young man wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with the sleeve of his cotton-padded jacket. He didn't care whether the mung bean hidden in the sleeve had fallen out. He picked up the food and looked at Xu Qing with a sinister look in his eyes, but he did not dare to shout.

Xu Qing slapped his mouth to bits, how hard it was, how violent it was, and how heavy it was.

He was beaten so hard that he could not understand the difference between him and Xu Qing.

When he fought with a gangster on the street, he didn't say that he would be beaten if he was slapped by the opponent.

But today, I suffered a lot.

How can I still have the courage?

He just wanted to save face and didn't want to be too embarrassed in front of his companions, so he could only glare at Xu Qing.

Xu Qing didn't think about taking action anymore, he just gave him a cold look. The young man at the head was immediately frightened. He carried thirty kilograms of stick noodles, pulled the young man with the bamboo pole, and ran out of the grain station, crawling and rolling.

Er Mazi pretended to give chase and chased them to the door of the grain station. He watched the two young men run away in a hurry. He turned around, looked at Xu Qing and laughed:

"Qingzi, those boys really deserve a beating! They didn't win the lottery, but they still refused to leave. They have to get beaten up before they get out."

Xu Qing took out his cigarettes, handed one to Er Mazi, and said:
"Hey, young man, not everyone is like that, just teach him a lesson."

Er Mazi took the cigarette and nodded.

At this moment, the sky gradually became brighter, and the dawn could already be seen in the east.

Sanhuzi's wife, Meijuan and Xu Xiaoya also came to the grain station.

The four cats that had been frightened just now swarmed out from behind the counter when they saw Xu Xiaoya.

Around Xu Xiaoya's trouser legs, she meows coquettishly and wants to eat.

It seems that the big meat buns yesterday morning have made them remember that Xiaoya, the youngest, pretty and kind-hearted person at the food station, will definitely get good food.

And in fact, it is.

Xiaoya brought a biscuit today. As soon as she entered the grain station, she squatted down and fed them.

Sanhuzi's wife saw this, picked up her scarf, and said with an ouch:

"Xiaoya, you can't follow the shopkeeper and spoil them like this. If you don't catch mice when you're full, cats are in vain."

With a smile on her pretty face, Xu Xiaoya stood up and said, "Sister Wang, I know, I will try to feed them as little as possible in the future."

Sanhuzi's wife hummed. When she saw that the four cats on the ground had finished eating the biscuits, they kept barking and raised their feet to drive them away:
"Go and catch mice!"

Xu Qing said nothing about this.

In this year when the country still doesn't have enough to eat and doesn't have warm clothes, cats are kept to catch mice and prevent food from being harmed.

As for who keeps them as pets, I’m afraid there’s no one in the country right now.

Xu Qing and Er Mazi did not tell Xiaoya and San Huzi's wife about the incident caused by the group of young people earlier.

Come on, there's no need for that.

Secondly, telling them would only make them more troubled.

Furthermore, those young men were all driven away.

Whether you say it or not, it doesn't make much sense.

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Jinghong brought her son Hongfu, Fengming, Xiujuan, and Aiqian to the grain station.

Aiguo received an impromptu call from the main factory in the morning and went to a meeting in another place.

I don’t have time to come to the grain station to help my elder brother.

Just ask Ai Qian to follow her sister-in-law.

Xu Xiaoya also didn't bring Jianjun here early in the morning.

Feng Ming and Tang Xiujuan had nothing to do. They had breakfast early in the morning and rode their bicycles back to the compound. After visiting their grandparents, they followed their elder sister-in-law and second sister-in-law to the grain station.

The grain station was now crowded with people, people were coming in and people were leaving, and there was endless noise and noise.

Xu Qing’s lottery to give away motorcycles lasted until the motorcycles were given away.

Most people are idle on weekends, so they come here to buy food.

By the way, I want to take away the first prize.

But Xu Qing has set up a quota for the first prize, and it is not easy to win.

Although this method is not new in later generations.But for people of this age, it is very attractive.

Of course, Xu Qing is not the first person to do this these days.

However, using thirty kilograms of grain and buying a motorcycle worth 750 yuan.

Such a big jackpot.

But he was the first.

As the situation progressed over the past few days, almost everyone in the Forty-Nine City became clamoring.

Most people have heard about Xu Qing's grain station in Dongdan. As long as you buy thirty kilograms of grain, you can buy a motorcycle.

So much so, that even the newspaper reporters from [-] cities came here today after hearing the news. They stood across the street with cameras in hand, wanting to take some photos and write a report on this topic.

Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters were busy setting up business in the grain station when they heard that Er Mazi took the young man who won the third prize from a motorcycle ride back and said that a reporter from a newspaper was taking pictures.

He just said oh and continued busy.

He had no time to look outside the grain station at this time.

I can't go out either.

People were coming and going in the grain station. Those who bought grain were in the lottery, those who didn't win were cursing, and those who won looked happy and shouted loudly that they wanted to redeem their prizes and ride motorcycles.

The messy scene is just like the state-owned stores and supply and marketing cooperatives more than ten years ago.

Xu Qing, his younger brothers and sisters, and Sanhuzi's daughter-in-law, Meijuan, were all very busy.

As soon as Er Mazi came back, he saw someone winning the third prize. He drank the tea he picked up and patted the person on the shoulder, asking him to follow him out to ride a motorcycle.

Many people belong to many people.

But Xu Qing had already made arrangements in advance. He, Jinghong, Fengming, Xiaoya, and Meijuan each took charge of their own business.

Busy but not messy.

When Xu Fengming saw the radar watch his eldest brother Xu Qing wore on his wrist, his eyes lit up and he liked it very much.

Due to the large number of people coming to buy food.

He never found a chance to ask his elder brother when he bought it.

It wasn't until dark at night that no one came to buy food anymore. After Er Mazi, San Huzi's wife and Meijuan left, Xu Fengming had some free time, looked at the radar watch Xu Qing wore, and said with a smile:
"Brother, take it off and let me take a look."

Seeing that his third brother liked it, Xu Qing took off the radar watch from his wrist.

Xu Fengming held the radar watch. The more he looked at it, the more he fell in love with it. He played with it for a while and chuckled.

"Brother, can you lend me to wear it for two days?"

When Xu Qing heard what his third brother said, he smoked a cigarette, smiled, and said:
"Okay, then you can put it back on tonight."

My third brother, not an outsider.

Xu Qing didn't mind letting Feng Ming take him back to play for a few days.

Radar watches are quite expensive. In this day and age, the price is two or three hundred yuan higher than the motorcycle he bought.

However, no matter how expensive it is, for Xu Qing, who runs a grain station.

Not a thing at all.

Today, a total of tens of thousands of kilograms of white flour, corn noodles, mung beans, red beans, and rice were sold in the grain station.

Even if it is a pound of grain, there is only a thin profit of two or three cents.

But with tens of thousands of kilograms of grain, Xu Qingguang can earn almost a thousand yuan a day today.

In these days when money is quite valuable, it's a huge sum of money.

Of course, Xu Qing can only earn so much on weekends.

Normally, I only earn 50 yuan a day.

It is worth mentioning that Xu Qing also supplied grain to several branches of the Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.

Moreover, he would divide the grain brought by the country for sale every time according to his ability.

All in all, Xu Qing made a lot of money by opening a grain station.

Naturally, he didn't care about the radar watch and let his third brother play with it.

When Xu Fengming saw that his elder brother agreed to his request, his face was full of joy. He quickly put the radar watch on his wrist and showed off to Liu Jianjun who had just arrived at the entrance of the grain station and came to pick up his sister Xiaoya:
"Brother-in-law, come and see what this is?"

Liu Jianjun had been busy with his own affairs all day. When he came to the grain station, he saw that his third uncle actually wore a radar watch, and his eyes widened in shock.

"Third brother, you are awesome! The radar watch is not easy to get, and it is also very expensive. How did you buy it?"

Xu Fengming didn't answer, and asked himself: "How is it? It's not bad, right?"

Liu Jianjun smiled and nodded: "Not bad."

Xu Fengming smiled proudly, leaned back on the chair, took out a cigarette, first handed one to his eldest brother Xu Qing, and then to his brother-in-law Liu Jianjun, grinning and saying:

"It's not mine, it's brother's."

Liu Jianjun smiled and said: "Third brother, actually I already knew it. Ai Qian told me last night."

Xu Fengming said oh, and his happiness suddenly disappeared. His showoff just now was disturbed by his sister. A trace of embarrassment flashed across his face. He turned to look at Xu Xiaoya, who was wearing a scarf, and rolled his eyes quietly.

Xu Xiaoya smiled and stuck out her tongue, knowing that her third brother was complaining about her.

She and Feng Ming had been fighting each other since they were young, and they were already used to it.

Besides, this is not something that cannot be said.

Ten minutes later, Xu Qing closed the grain station and took his younger siblings home to eat together.

The night sky is cold and dark.

Scattered twinkling stars, like dead leaves that have lost their vitality, dot the sky.

It was cold and freezing at the moment, there was no snow, but the winter wind was biting.

Xu Qing rode a motorcycle and took his son Hongfu, while Jinghong took Aiqian on a bicycle.

Feng Ming carries Tang Xiujuan.

Liu Jianjun and Xu Xiaoya were riding in the same car.

The group of people walked along the cold street, using the light of the street lamp, and walked back to the compound while laughing and talking.

Xu Hongzhi was exhausted. He helped his parents work at the grain station for a day.

Even though he didn't do much, he only had to do something if he was too busy.

But for him who is in elementary school.

It is a great test to endure the situation in the grain station for a whole day.

Xu Hongzhi was tired and hungry. He hid behind Xu Qing with a black face on his arm.

I had no energy along the way.

It wasn't until he saw the candied haws seller that he reached out and tugged on his father Xu Qing's lapel and shouted:

"Dad, I want to eat candied haws on a stick."

Xu Qing held the car brake. Thinking that his son had performed well today, he took out his money and prepared to buy two.

Xu Xiaoya stared at the candied haws of water, blinking her watery eyes, and she also wanted to eat it.

Just a little embarrassed.

She and Jianjun were both married, so she was embarrassed to say it.

However, Xu Qing was the eldest brother and could tell what his sister was thinking at a glance.

No matter how old a girl is, she still has a little girl side.

Xu Qing saw a small vendor selling candied haws on a stick, and there were still a dozen unsold skewers on the haystack.

It was late at night, there were not many people around, and the vendors were so cold that their faces were red, which was not easy.

I simply went ahead and bought them all.

Let my daughter-in-law Jinghong and younger sisters Xiaoya, Aiqian, and Xiujuan try it too.

The hawker did not expect that all the candied haws pods that he thought would be unsold were suddenly bought by Xu Qing and his entourage.

A smile appeared on his cold red face. He picked off the bunches of candied haws and handed them to Xu Qing and others. He stood under the street lamp on the telephone pole and thanked them repeatedly.

Xu Qing smiled and waved his hand. After chatting with the vendor selling candied haws, he started his motorcycle and continued to go back to his home with his younger siblings.

Xu Hongzhi was sitting behind his father, holding a bunch of candied haws in each hand. His previously slumped face suddenly turned into a smile.

I didn’t feel cold anymore. I straightened my body and was very excited.

As soon as he returned to the gate of the Hutong compound and got off the car, Xu Hongzhi couldn't wait to eat a candied haws of sugar-coated haws with his left hand, and then another one with his right hand, making his reddish face bulge.

Seeing their son's cheerful and cheerful expression, Xu Qing and Jing Hong felt secretly happy.

Xu Fengming pushed his bicycle into the courtyard and said something to his nephew quietly.

"Hongzhi, if you eat too much candied haws, you will get tooth decay. Be careful not to eat popsicles in summer."

Xu Hongzhi raised his head, chewed the candied haws in his mouth, shook his head and said:
"I don't believe it. I heard from my aunt that Third Uncle, you also liked to eat it when you were a child. How come you don't have cavities?"

Xu Fengming didn't expect that his sister would actually tell his nephew about eating candied haws when he was a child.

Suddenly, he felt hopeless. He looked at Xiaoya, who was laughing non-stop, and curled his lips with a look of helplessness on his face.

When Xu Qing returned to the backyard with his son, wife, and younger brothers and sisters, he just parked his motorcycle in front of his house.

I saw Yan Jiecheng walking out of his house.

"Hey, Qingzi, you're back. Everyone has been waiting for you at your house for a long time."

Xu Qing was a little confused. While letting his son enter the room, he said:

"Brother Jie Cheng, what are you waiting for me for?"

Yan Jiecheng held a cigarette in his mouth, put his arm around Xu Qing's shoulders, and grinned:
"Qingzi, don't hide it, don't pretend to be confused, Radar Watch, Silly Zhu is in our hospital today."

Xu Qing suddenly realized that he didn't dare to do this, and said:
"Hey, what did I think? Let me go back to the house first."

Yan Jiecheng couldn't wait any longer, so he reached out and licked the cuff of Xu Qing's left hand.

When he saw nothing, he hurriedly asked:
"Qingzi, where is the radar watch?"

"you guess?"

While talking, Xu Qing entered the room and looked up.

Oh, almost all the people in the compound were sitting at his home.
