On the early morning of the weekend, the weather was clear and the sun was shining brightly. Xu Qing took off his cotton-padded jacket and put on unlined clothes, but he didn't feel the slightest chill.

Standing in the courtyard, Xu Qing thought about taking Sha Zhu to Shichahai in the afternoon, and suddenly felt very good.

On the one hand, he is dating Ma Jinghong.

On the other hand, while Jinghong’s best friend (female colleague) is also here, she can help Shazhu introduce her partner.

After breakfast, Xu Qing took his younger brother and sister, who had also changed into single clothes, and the four of them went shopping on the street all morning.

On the way back, I bought them some snacks to satisfy their cravings.

The three little guys ate with gusto all the way and were very happy about Shu. They didn't eat much of the lunch that Xu Qing made for lunch. They each ate half a piece of steamed buns and said they were full.

Xu Qing had no choice but to put the dishes and chopsticks into the kitchen. After cleaning them, he saw that there was still some time before three o'clock in the afternoon, so he took advantage of the warm sunshine in the courtyard outside the house and asked his second brother Xu Aiguo and third brother Xu Fengming to dry all the quilts.

Get out.

He and the little girl put the four people's cotton-padded jackets into the washing tub and washed them.

When Sha Zhu came to look for him in the middle courtyard with great interest, Xu Qing wiped his hands dry, then gave some instructions to the three little ones, and led Sha Zhu out of the courtyard.

Silly Zhu knew today that he could meet a beautiful girl by following Xu Qing, so he spent the whole morning in his room in the middle courtyard, asking his sister Yuyu to help him take care of things.

At this time, Sha Zhu was walking in the alley, smoking a cigarette, and kept asking Xu Qing.

"Qingzi, brother, how do I look today? Is it okay?"

Xu Qing turned to look at Si Zhu, who was wearing new clothes and a pair of new shoes, and nodded, agreeing.

Silly Zhu grinned, pointed his right index finger to himself, and showed off to Xu Qing;

"Look, brother, I brushed my teeth three times today. Are they white enough?"

Xu Qing smiled and nodded again, feeling that Silly Zhu was really interesting.

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Qing and Silly Zhu met the old man and the old woman. The old couple had gone out early this morning, and they didn't know whether they were visiting relatives or visiting friends.

When he came back at this time, the uncle saw Xu Qing and Sha Zhu dressed very cleanly and decently, and asked curiously: "Xu Qing, what are you and Zhu Zhu doing?"

Silly Zhu chuckled and said: "Master, Qingzi will help me introduce someone to you today. I'll go over and take a look."

When the eldest mother heard this, she forced a smile on her face and joked towards Shazhu: "No wonder Zhuzhu, you look so good today. It's good to be brave. Go ahead and go back early."

Silly Zhu hummed, bared his teeth, and turned into the street with Xu Qing triumphantly.

Yi Zhonghai turned his head and looked around, his eyes darting back and forth towards the backs of Xu Qing and Silly Zhu. He was thinking a lot, but he didn't say anything. He turned around and continued back towards the courtyard with his aunt.

At this moment, Xu Qing looked at the sunrise above his head, secretly thinking that Er Mazi should have been drinking the engagement wine at his partner's house by now.

When he got off work yesterday afternoon, Er Mazi stuffed Xu Qing with a carton of Daqianmen cigarettes, thanking Xu Qing for helping him with his advice a few days ago.

Xu Qing didn't want to accept it, it was just a matter of a few words, there was no need to spend a cigarette.

Er'anzi felt that Xu Qing's few words helped him save fifty yuan in betrothal gifts. It was only two or three yuan for a pack of cigarettes, so it was still conceivable which one was more important.

Xu Qing had no choice but to accept it, but he still didn't accept the invitation to attend Er Mazi's engagement party.

At this moment, Xu Qing took out the big bag he was carrying and handed one to Sha Zhu. He also stuffed one into the corner of his mouth, then lit a fire with a lighter, lit the cigarette and smoked, while making the agreement with Sha Zhu.

Shichahai passes.

Now that spring has begun, the scenery in Shichahai is really good. Although it has not yet reached its best season, the weeping willows on the shore are already dotted with buds. However, the ice rink is closed. After all, the ice surface is thawing. Winter is gone and spring is coming. It will be open again.

It’s winter again.

Xu Qing arrived early this time, unlike when he dated Ma Jinghong in Beihai Park and made Ma Jinghong wait for a long time.

Silly Zhu stood aside, looking at the crowds coming and going around him, looking left and right, and asked Xu Qing in a low voice.

"Qingzi, are you and your partner almost here? Why can't I see them?"

Xu Qing laughed dumbly, "Brother Silly Zhu, do you know who I am dating? Have you seen him?"

Silly Zhu was smoking a cigarette, leaning against the iron railing, shaking his head and saying, "I've never seen it before. You're hiding it, protecting it like a golden knot. Where can I see you?"

Xu Qing also leaned against the railing, put his hands on his head and said: "That's serious, just wait, my partner will come later, you can seize the opportunity."

Silly Zhu grinned and said: "Qingzi, just watch it!"

"We'll see."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he reached out and waved to Ma Jinghong and his party who were walking towards the left.

Silly Zhu took a closer look and was stunned immediately.

A group of girls, each with a beautiful figure, graceful and handsome, walked towards them.

Although they are all wearing the same style of light green clothes, the youthful and girlish atmosphere exuded by each person is completely different.

Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, his eyes were dull, his pupils were dilated, there was a buzz in his mind, and suddenly everything went blank.

It wasn't until Ma Jinghong introduced her best friends who came with her to Xu Qing one by one that Shazhu slowly came back to her senses under Xu Qing's secret reminder, a silly smile appeared on her face, and she hurriedly introduced herself.

"Hello fellow lesbians, my name is He Yuzhu, I am Xu Qing's neighbor, we live in the same compound."

After Sha Zhu finished the opening statement he had practiced all morning, he didn't know what to say anymore. His neck turned red from holding back, his face showed nervousness, and he turned to Xu Qing for help.

Xu Qing was also drunk. Silly Zhu was usually very eloquent when he was in the courtyard and factory, but at this critical moment, he couldn't open his mouth.

Xu Qing had no choice but to tactfully introduce Shazhu to Ma Jinghong and the others in detail.

"He Yuzhu lives in the same compound as me and works in the same factory. He is the master chef of our factory canteen. Although he is only twenty-three years old, his cooking skills are very good. Even the factory director named him

Praise."

When Ma Jinghong heard Xu Qing's introduction, she turned around and blinked at her best friends.

The girls immediately pursed their lips and laughed. After taking the initiative to say hello to Shazhu, they all crowded around Ma Jinghong and looked at Xu Qing.

But I have no interest in Silly Pillar.

Earlier, they had a brief understanding of Xu Qing through workers' newspapers. Of course, they were more envious of Ma Jinghong for finding such a brave partner like Xu Qing.

But they were even more puzzled as to why Ma Jinghong didn't like the group leader's son, Cao Xiaojun, but she was so enamored with a worker.

Even if they act bravely, for them, they feel that it is not worth spending their lives.

I came here today mainly because I wanted to see Xu Qing with my own eyes and find out what Ma Jinghong liked about Xu Qing.

A group of girls looked at Xu Qing over and over again, which reminded Xu Qing of the scene at Master Zhang's house on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month.

Silly Zhu, on the other hand, watched Xu Qing surrounded by girls all alone, with envy and jealousy in his eyes, and embarrassment and loneliness in his heart. He subconsciously moved to the unmanned right hand side, took out his cigarette, lowered his head, and said silently.

Start smoking.

When those girls saw Xu Qing, he looked fairer, fresher, more capable, and stronger than in the photos. Other than that, they didn't think there was anything special about him.

Just thinking about it carefully, it seems that Xu Qing's figure has been quietly imprinted on their hearts, in a way that they can't go away.

I can’t tell what’s going on, but somehow I feel that Xu Qing is stronger than those high-ranking disciples who pursue them.

If I were to rank them in my mind, this boy I met for the first time would inexplicably be ranked first.

The first impression was so good that the dark eyes of several girls suddenly lit up, and they all realized that Jinghong's partner was indeed something special.

But they didn't know where Xu Qing's excellence lay. In an instant, they felt an oops in their hearts and everything was in chaos.

Xu Qing chatted with them for a short while, taking advantage of the opportunity to buy soda, and led Shazhu towards the place selling soda, saying:
Chapter completed!
