Siheyuan: There are three little cats at home

Chapter 458 Whoever you give something to, it’s Qin Jingru’s turn to intervene

In the middle courtyard, the night was as dark as ink, and the snow fell quietly. Xu Qing said to Xu Damao, who was impatient to know the news:
"Yes, Brother Mazi bought one early in the morning."

Xu Damao tightened his military coat and said:

"Qingzi, don't tease me with your brother. What's going on? In addition to Ermazi, how many military coats have been sold?"

As Xu Damao spoke, he took out his cigarettes, handed one to Xu Qing, and then hurriedly passed it to Yi Zhonghai.

According to seniority, Xu Damao should give Yi Zhonghai smoke first.

After all, Yi Zhonghai, as the man in charge of the compound, is older, more senior and senior.

However, Xu Damao wanted Xu Qing, and as soon as he entered the middle courtyard, he first asked about the military coat.

He didn't even say hello to Yi Zhonghai immediately.

When I was handing over cigarettes, I remembered that the uncle was also there, so I handed one over.

Yi Zhonghai said nothing about this.

Xu Qing's prestige in the compound is now higher than that of his elder brother.

He, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, and the three courtyard masters together did not have as high a prestige as Xu Qing in the courtyard.

Xu Qing's words were worth half a moment of nagging from the three stewards.

Although Yi Zhonghai was a little dissatisfied with Xu Damao's behavior.

Maybe Damao has no humanity.

Yi Zhonghai watched him grow up and knew it well.

Knowing that Xu Damao likes to watch people serve dishes, he respects his elders, but he will actively follow anyone who speaks well in the courtyard.

Whoever is the most powerful official depends on whom.

Nowadays, when Xu Qing and Ai Guo, two brothers, talk in the same courtyard, everyone listens.

The highest official in a courtyard.

When Xu Damao smoked, he naturally gave it to Xu Qing first, and then to him, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui.

Over the years, Xu Damao has been acting like this in the courtyard.

Yi Zhonghai has long been used to it.

There is no way, who makes Xu Qing capable at such a young age.

Among the juniors in the courtyard, he is the best.

Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, and Yan Jiecheng are all older than Xu Qing.

But speaking, Silhu and Xu Damao were convinced by Xu Qing.

Yi Zhonghai heard from Xu Damao's words when he ran to the middle court to ask Xu Qing just now that Xu Damao asked Xu Qing for help.

According to Xu Damao's style of doing things, he would flatter anyone who was useful to him.

Yi Zhonghai seldom helped Xu Damao.

First of all, there's not much I can do to help.

Secondly, Xu Damao almost never took the initiative to look for him.

Yi Zhonghai took the cigarette and saw that Xu Damao had something to do with Xu Qing and that the snow was gradually getting heavier. He stopped chatting with Xu Qing and Jing Hong and turned around to go back to the house.

When Xu Qing saw Yi Zhonghai leaving, he pushed his motorcycle, chatted with Xu Damao, and hurried back to the backyard with his wife Jinghong.

He had been hungry for a long time. He had been at the grain station all day. It was still snowing and it was cold. He was hungry and cold. He could not stand in the yard.

Xu Damao came back early in the afternoon before it got dark.

He didn't care about the work at the Red Star Cinema. He ordered a meal in the morning, handed over the matter to Banggeng, and left.

Qin Jingru waited for Qin Jingru to come back from get off work and cooked dinner. After eating, she stayed in the house and never came out.

It's completely different from Xu Qing's state.

However, Xu Qing was anxious to go back to his home in the backyard, so Xu Damao followed him and went back to the backyard together.

"Qingzi, tell your brother quickly, what's going on?"

Xu Qing looked sideways at Xu Damao and said, "It's okay. I sold three pieces in the afternoon."

When Xu Damao heard this, he held the cigarette in his mouth and took a sip, feeling happy in his heart.

He wandered around outside for a day and sold three items. When he returned to the compound, he talked to everyone in the compound and sold six more items.

Plus the four items from Xu Qingliang Station.

Today, a total of thirteen military coats were sold.

The plan in Xu Damao's mind was crackling. A rough calculation showed that he could earn 60 to [-] yuan.

I was laughing from ear to ear.

As soon as he returned to the backyard, Xu Damao hurriedly said to Xu Qing:
"Qingzi, I still have four pieces in my house. You can go to the grain station early tomorrow morning and take them with you. We two brothers will continue to sell them!"

Xu Qing responded, no problem.

But Wei Wei thought for a moment, turned around and looked at Xu Damao and said:

"Brother Damao, from now on you can just take your military coat back to the courtyard at night. I'll take it with me when I go out in the morning, so you don't have to give it away."

Xu Damao heard Xu Qing's proposal and thought about it secretly in his mind.

He went to deliver it himself early in the morning. It was cold and freezing. It was better to bring some military coats back at night and let Xu Qing take them there on his motorcycle.

In addition, he was embarrassed to see Sanhuzi's wife and Meijuan working at the grain station.

Thinking of this, Xu Damao stopped, faced Xu Qing and grinned:
"Qingzi, brother, I thank you. It's interesting. You are thoughtful and considerate of my brother. Then I will do as you said. From now on, I will bring some military coats back to the courtyard in the afternoon and you can take them there in the morning."

Xu Qing smiled, stopped chatting with Xu Damao, and pushed the motorcycle and Jinghong towards the door of his house.

In fact, he did consider Xu Damao.

Not all.

If Xu Damao went to the grain station every day recently, Sanhuzi's wife and Meijuan would definitely not be able to help but point their noses and scold him in front of Xu Damao.

This is one point.

Secondly, and more importantly.

Xu Damao sent it there in the morning. Er Mazi, Xiaoya and the others were there.

Xu Qing didn't have the chance to divide the military coat according to his abilities.

Xu Damao sent ten military coats today, but he was hindered by the presence of his wife, sister, and Er Mazi.

Unable to use abilities.

As a result, Xu Qing couldn't even get a share of the three items sold in the afternoon.

Fortunately, there were still six pieces that had not been sold, so he planned to go to the grain station early tomorrow morning before Er Mazi and use his ability to share them.

Xu Qing and Jinghong parked their motorcycles and bicycles at the door of the house and hurriedly opened the thick curtain and entered the house.

There was a stove set up in the room, and the kang was very warm from the cooking done at night.

It was a completely different world from the lonely courtyard outside.

Aunt Feng heard the noise and had already gone to the kitchen with Ai Qian to serve food.

The grandparents take care of their great-granddaughter Qiaoxin and their great-grandson Hongfu.

Xu Hongzhi, who had finished his homework early, saw his parents coming back, slipped off the kang, stepped on the cotton shoes made by Jinghong, picked up the kettle sitting on the stove, and went to the washbasin.

Xu Hongzhi is already very sensible, especially under the education of his great-grandfather and great-aunt.

There is a lot of housework every day.

Xu Hongzhi also worked at home before.

But Xu Qing and Jinghong were busy at work and neglected discipline in many aspects.

Ever since the two old men stayed in the city instead of going back to the countryside after Xu Xiaoya got married, they had been helping Xu Qing to discipline Hongzhi.

After more than two months, Xu Hongzhi has changed a lot.

No one needs to tell me, just do it yourself when you see something you can do.

In the past, I didn’t go home after school, and I rarely played with my classmates on the road.

Because my great-grandfather had a bad temper and didn't come back within half an hour, the cane was waiting at the door of the compound.Xu Hongzhi mixed the hot water from the kettle with the cold water in the washbasin, turned his head and grinned:

"Dad, Mom, wash your hands quickly."

Xu Qing and Jing Hong each responded. Seeing that their son was becoming more and more sensible, they felt very grateful to their grandfather and grandma.

If it weren't for the two old men who came back at night, my son wouldn't be so diligent.

Maybe once or twice.

But these days, it's been like this every day.

Jinghong asked Xu Qing to wash it first, while she took off her gloves, picked up the girl on the kang, kissed the little guy's little face, and asked with pain in her eyes:
"Qiaoxin, are you good today? Have you made your great-grandpa angry?"

Xu Qiaoxin shook her little head and said with a milky voice:

"No, I have been very good today."

Xu Hongzhi lay on the edge of the kang, with his head on the pit, turned around, made a face, and hummed:

"Mom, my sister is talking nonsense. When I came back from school, she and Hongfu put the hat on my great-grandfather's head on Xiao Hui, which made Xiao Hui howl for a long time."

When Ma Jinghong heard her son's words, she was startled. She stretched out her hand to pinch her daughter's little nose and questioned her.

At this time, Xu Qing wiped his hands with a towel, walked to Jinghong, reached out to take his daughter, and asked his wife to wash it. At the same time, he asked his son to go to the kitchen to help Aiqian and the nanny Aunt Feng get the dishes.

At this time, Ai Qian and the nanny Aunt Feng had brought noodles with fried soybean paste, stir-fried mustard mustard slices to the table in the front room.

Xu Hongzhi ran to the kitchen, but Ai Qian and Aunt Feng didn't go there again.

After Jinghong washed her hands, Xu Qing put her daughter on the kang and left it to her grandparents to take care of her. He and his wife sat at the dining table and ate dinner.

Xu Qing stirred the noodles with chopsticks and said to Ai Qian, "Ai Guo went to a meeting at night again?"

Liu Aiqian caught her son Hongfu who was about to torment the civet cat Xiao Hui and said:

"Isn't that right? Brother, Aiguo came back from get off work in the afternoon. Just as he was about to have dinner, he received a call from the main factory saying that there was an impromptu meeting. He left in a hurry without even eating."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing.

After the reform, the country made every effort to develop the economy.

Aiguo succeeded his eldest brother as the head of the fifth factory.

Naturally, I have to have meetings and study every now and then.

Ma Jinghong reached out and brushed the hair beside her ears. She heard some small complaints in Liu Aiqian's words and comforted:
"Ai Qian, don't be angry. As the director of a branch factory, Ai Guo has to worry about everything, big and small, and has many meetings. It's inevitable."

Liu Aiqian hummed and sighed:
"Sister-in-law, I know this too, but the Patriotic President is called to meetings at night from time to time. I don't understand why there are so many things going on at night at their main factory. There are no meetings during the day and they have to stay until night. Every time they come The phone calls always said that the meeting was decided at short notice.”

Just as Liu Aiqian was complaining to Xu Qing and Jing Hong, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru pushed in the door with four military coats in their arms.

As soon as he entered the house, Xu Damao turned his head and winked at Qin Jingru behind him, asking him to close the door. Then he saw Xu Qing and Jing Hong chatting with Liu Aiqian over dinner, and saw Xu Qing eating fried noodles with soybean paste, and said "Yo" :

"Qingzi, Jinghong, your food is really good today! At about six o'clock in the evening, I could smell the aroma of fried sauce in my room."

Xu Qing smiled and said, "Da Mao, how about you and Jingru eat something together?"

Xu Damao hugged his military coat, sat down on the kang, waved his hands and said:

"No, my food is okay today. Qin Jingru bought some mutton after get off work."

When Xu Qing saw what Xu Damao said, he stopped talking.

I ate mutton and it was better than Zhajiang Noodles.

The little life of Xu Damao and Qin Jingru seemed to be exactly the same.

In fact, with the implementation of Kaikai Square, the living standards of people living in the city and every household have improved a lot.

Not to mention Xu Damao eating mutton today, the Jia family had a meal a few days ago.

Although Jia Zhang never mentioned it in the courtyard.

But the smell of mutton is so strong, who in the compound can’t help but know it.

At this time, Xu Damao was sitting on the kang, stretched out his hand to take out a cigarette, handed one to Grandpa Xu Qing, turned to Xu Qing and shouted "Qingzi."

As soon as Xu Qing looked up, Xu Damao threw a cigarette and then said:

"Four military coats, you take two to the grain station tomorrow, and keep the remaining two at home for your grandparents to wear."

After saying that, Xu Damao added, "Qingzi, don't mention money to me, brother. It's customary for us brothers to mention money!"

Xu Qing put the cigarette behind his ears and smiled when he heard Xu Damao's words:

"Brother Damao, I'm so sorry. You paid for the military coat. How can my family get it for free?"

Xu Damao grinned and said, "Hey, it's just two military coats, not worth much."

As he said this, Xu Damao suddenly thought of something, and then said:
"Er Mazi, that's different. What's the relationship between us two brothers, right?"

Seeing Xu Damao say this, Xu Qing stopped insisting.

He is now helping Xu Damao sell military coats at his own grain depot.

At worst, Xu Damao will give it to him when he settles the accounts after he has finished disposing of the military coat.

As for whether Xu Damao wants it or not.

Xu Qing didn't care.

Whether you want it or not, it all depends on Xu Damao's own wishes.

For Xu Qing anyway.

He could afford two military coats.

Qin Jingru heard that her man gave Xu Qing's grandparents military coats for free, and her eyes secretly gouged Xu Damao.

It seems to be saying, you are not willing to give me a good joke, but you are still asked to spend 20 yuan to buy it. How come you come to Xu Qing and don’t want a cent?
Xu Damao glared back at Qin Jingru, poked him with his arm, and ignored him.

Whoever he gives something to, it's Qin Jingru's turn to intervene.

Banggeng said he called him uncle.

There is a kinship.

But it's different from his relationship with Xu Qing.

He and Xu Qing are buddies.

Over the years, we have been getting along in the courtyard.

Xu Qing has strong abilities, knows many people, and has a wide social circle.

The two younger brothers are also promising, one is the director of the branch factory and the other is the director.

He can use it later.

Moreover, right now, he asked Xu Qing to help sell military coats at the grain station.

Can BangGeng do it?

What's more, Bangge went to the countryside to show movies behind his back, and even squandered the benefits several times.

I just said I didn't receive it.

When Xu Damao was working as a projectionist, every time he went to the countryside and came back without anything, he knew it as clearly as Ming Jing.

In other words, for the sake of the relatives' sake, I didn't embarrass myself.

Bangge wants a military coat, why not pay for it?
It's not like he spent a penny on getting a military coat.

As for whether Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were willing, Xu Damao didn't bother to think about it.

He could get it for three yuan cheaper than selling it to Er Mazi.

Xu Damao felt that as an uncle, he was a good enough guy.

If Qin Jingru hadn't married him, she would be a little embarrassed because of her love.

Otherwise, it's just awesome.

Jin'er's military coat costs the same as everyone else in the compound.

25 yuan, not even a penny less!
After Xu Qing finished dinner, Xu Damao and Qin Jingru stayed for a while before leaving.

However, Xu Aiguo, who went to the main factory for a meeting, came back from the central courtyard shivering while holding a flashlight and pushing his bicycle.
