"Xu Qing, I'm so sorry. I didn't know that Cao Xiaojun was so vicious. He actually found someone to fight with you. But don't worry about this. I will go to the regiment tomorrow and I will definitely help you seek justice.

In addition, don’t blame my brother. I was the one who asked him. He followed you yesterday and was scolded severely by my mother when he came home. My father also called my brother to the courtyard last night. No.

I don’t know if I should also scold him for being ignorant.

But I think he did the right thing."

Xu Qing quietly read the first half of the note and stood alone at the door of the workshop after get off work in the afternoon, feeling a little complicated.

He reached out and took out his cigarette, lit it, and took a puff. He looked at the sun gradually setting in the western sky, wondering if Jinghong had already told the group leader about the matter in the morning.

According to his understanding of Ma Jinghong, there is a high probability that he said it.

Xu Qing took another puff of cigarette, lowered his head, and continued to read the remaining content on the note in his hand:

"Xu Qing, our group will have a day off tomorrow, and it seems that your factory will also have a day off. If, I mean if, if you are not busy tomorrow, how about we meet in Beihai Park in the afternoon? I will go there at three o'clock in the afternoon.

Waiting for you, see you there or not!

If you are busy, then you tell my brother Jiefang and I will not go to the park tomorrow. We can find time next time."

After Xu Qing read the contents of the note, a hint of bitterness appeared on his face.

The factory had been off work for a while now, and Ma Jiefang had gone back early.

Xu Qing threw the burned cigarette on the ground, stubbed it out with his feet, took a deep breath, folded the note again, put it back on his body, and slowly walked out towards the factory gate while thinking about tomorrow's arrangements.<

/p>

It is absolutely necessary to wash the schoolbags for the younger brothers and sisters. The three little guys are about to start school, so they are asked to wash the schoolbags by themselves, fearing that they will not be clean, and it seems that they have to go to Beihai Park.

Since Ma Jiefang was not asked to bring a message to his fifth sister, Xu Qing felt that he could not let Jinghong wait for him at the gate of Beihai Park tomorrow.

No matter what, you can't hurt a girl's heart. Even if you're not the right partner, you can't do that.

After leaving the factory, Xu Qing walked along the street and slowly headed back to the compound. There were not many people on the street at this time, and the rush hour for getting off work had already passed.

Cyclists, playful children, and vendors setting up stalls on the street can still be seen.

But as night falls, there will gradually be fewer and fewer people on the street.

In fact, Xu Qing can read the note in the factory at noon or after returning from get off work.

It's just that there are many people in the factory at noon, and when he returns to the house, his three younger brothers and sisters are there. If Xu Qing takes out the note, the little ones will definitely want to take a look at it curiously.

Therefore, he could only choose to wait for everyone in the workshop to leave after get off work in the afternoon, and then check at the door of the workshop.

This caused him to go back later than usual, but it was still earlier than yesterday.

When Xu Qing returned to the compound, the sky was still bright and not completely dark.

In the front yard, the third uncle had just poured the dirty water from wiping his bicycle on the ground and came back when he saw Xu Qing.

Yan Bugui held the smoke from the corner of his mouth and said: "Xu Qing, why have you come back so late in the past two days? Silly Zhu, Qin Huairu and your first uncle, they have been back long ago."

Xu Qing smiled and said: "Third uncle, I have something to do and I am delayed."

Yan Bugui said, turned around and entered the house with the wooden basin in his hand, while Xu Qing continued back toward the backyard.

When passing by the middle courtyard, Banggeng was holding a wooden stick and playing with dang in the courtyard.

The leg I broke while skating last year has completely healed after months of recuperation.

Yesterday, Qin Huairu helped Banggeng remove the bamboo boards.

Now that the leg is healed, Bangge started to make noises in the yard again.

But I never dared to go to the backyard, and I just ran back and forth between the front yard and the middle yard.

Xu Fengming was in the backyard, and without Jia Zhang or Qin Huairu accompanying him, even if he borrowed a lot of courage, he didn't dare to take a step forward.

Unless you want to get beaten.

This is not because Xu Fengming is overbearing, but because Banggeng often bullies little girls in school.

So Xu Fengming gave Banggeng some harsh words, and if he dared to enter the backyard, he would be beaten every time he saw him!

Even if Mrs. Jia and Zhang were around, Xu Fengming was still like this. Anyway, Bangge was not allowed to enter the backyard.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything. It's normal for children to play and fight.

If you are not sensible now, you will be nothing when you grow up.

When Banggeng saw Xu Qing coming from the front yard, he immediately pointed the wooden stick at Xu Qing with a provocative look on his face.

But Xu Qing is too lazy to behave like a little kid like him.

Qin Huairu happened to come out of the house and scolded Banggeng:

"Banggeng, your butt is itchy again, isn't it? Throw the stick away quickly and apologize to your Uncle Xu Qing!"

Bangge is now spoiled by Jia and Zhang, and doesn't even listen to what Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu say.

But he still put away the stick, turned around and ran to the front yard with Xiao Dang.

Xiaodang was relatively well-behaved, grinning at Xu Qing and saying sweetly:

"Uncle Xu Qing, my brother is angry with Uncle Fengming."

"Xiaodang, come here, don't talk to him!"

Banggeng held a stick and stood in front of the crescent gate in the front yard and middle yard with his head tilted, and shouted to Xiaodang.

Qin Huairu was so angry that she pushed him over and wanted to beat him.

Xu Qing ignored it, stretched out his hand and pinched Xiaodang's little face, and walked towards the backyard again.

Xu Fengming did not prohibit Xiaodang from playing in the backyard, so the little girl and Xiaodang always played together. The two little girls held hands and jumped around. They were quite good sisters in the yard.

After returning to their own room, the little girl and Xu Fengming squatted in the front room, washing their red scarves.

In the washbasin, they kept passing a piece of soap (soap) around, and they didn't know how much was used.

Anyway, Xu Qing saw that the water in the basin had already turned red. If the three red scarves were washed like this, they would probably fade to white sooner or later.

Xu Qing didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and hurriedly asked Xu Fengming to take the water in the wash basin to the courtyard and throw it away. After changing the water, he asked them to rub it a few times and then wring it out to dry.

As for the water in the basin, Xu Qing did not let him pour it away. He turned around and took three small schoolbags, soaked them in, and prepared to wash them early tomorrow morning.

The next morning, after Xu Qing had breakfast with his brothers and sisters, he took advantage of the clear weather and bright sunshine to wash three small schoolbags in the yard with a washbasin.

The second aunt was drying the quilts today. Two brothers, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, each carried two beds and stood aside, waiting for the second aunt to spread them on the clothesline.

He held a feather duster in his bangs, his left hand behind his back, a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and puffed it from time to time.

Seeing this, Xu Aiguo hurriedly ran into the house and carried the quilt out. Xu Qing waved to take it back quickly. There was only a clothesline in the backyard and could only be used in rotation.

Once the second uncle's family takes over, the Xu Qing family will naturally not be able to dry their quilts today.

But the schoolbags for the three little guys are not a problem.

The second aunt was also sensible and left some special space for Xu Qing.

She is not embarrassed to take it all by herself.

They all live in the backyard, and they all think about each other a little bit.

In the morning, Xu Qing washed his younger siblings' schoolbags in the courtyard, had lunch in the afternoon, changed into clean clothes, and asked Aiguo to take care of his younger siblings in the house. Then he took the ticket to buy the abacus, left the compound, and headed towards Beihai Park.
