Xu Qinggang put the washed cloth shoes to dry on the ground where the sun could shine at the door of the house. Hearing Xu Damao's words, he smiled helplessly.

However, after a busy morning, San Xiaozhi and himself washed all the dirty clothes and shoes. Now that they had nothing to do, they walked over to Xu Damao and Silly Zhu and helped them act as witnesses.

Xu Damao was suffocating in his heart. The last time he went out to fly a kite in the countryside, he competed with Shazhu and lost a pack of cigarettes.

Today I met Xu Fengming and Silly Zhu fighting crickets, so naturally they wanted to make amends.

It's not that Xu Damao wants to win back the cigarettes he lost, but he thinks it was too shameful to lose to Silly Zhu when he flew the kite.

In the can, two crickets were entangled together and biting each other in a fierce battle.

Xu Qing stood behind his third brother Xu Fengming, leaning over and watching quietly.

These days, cricket fighting is similar to the e-sports competitions of later generations. It is full of entertainment and very popular.

For some experienced insect experts, a good-looking cricket is no less valued than the third uncle in the front yard who loves his bicycle.

It's just that in the feudal period, this kind of fun was usually something that idle playboys loved to do.

In the old society, there was a group of professional players who worked as clients for wealthy people to make a living.

But now, it has become a game for city children to spend time on weekends and find fun.

Of course, it is only for children. If adults play, they will most likely be despised and given the title of not doing their job properly.

But if you play once or twice occasionally, it doesn't hurt.

And before the winner of the two crickets could be decided, the three uncles from the front yard walked into the backyard and saw Xu Qing and his gang fighting crickets. They felt that they were too much to play with and wanted to criticize.

But thinking that he came to the backyard to find Xu Qing, he coughed and said: "Xu Qing, accompany the third uncle and I will come to your room to sit for a while."

Xu Qing turned around and saw Yan Bugui coming to find him, so he led the third uncle into his house.

After letting Yan Bugui enter the room, Xu Qing handed him the cigarettes, poured a vat of tea, then sat in front of the table and asked:

"Third uncle, do you have anything to do with me?"

Yan Bugui held the economic cigarette handed to him by Xu Qing in the corner of his mouth, lit it and took a puff.

"It's nothing. I didn't hear that you were working in the factory. Come and sit here."

Normally, Yan Bugui would not smoke immediately after receiving the economy cigarette.

But Xu Qingtigan is no longer what he used to be.

Even if Yan Bugui despises economic smoke, at this moment, he has to give Xu Qing face.

The main purpose of his coming here this time is to show goodwill to Xu Qing and win over him.

Xu Qing used to be an apprentice, and Yan Bugui didn't think it was necessary.

But now, Xu Qing is the only person in the courtyard who has raised the issue.

How can such a lively person sit in the front yard and remain indifferent.

If Xu Qing continues to advance along the official career path in the future, he will still want to follow suit.

Seeing that Yan Bugui had nothing serious to say, Xu Qing sat in the room and had a casual chat with him.

In the courtyard outside the house, the second aunt saw Yan Bugui coming to Xu Qing today. She threw the clothes she was washing in her hands into the wash basin, stood up, and hurried back to her home. She said to Liu Haizhong:

"Old Liu, the third uncle has gone to Xu Qing's house, why don't you come over and sit down."

Liu Haizhong stood up suddenly from the kang, sat on the edge of the kang, put on his shoes, walked to the door of the house, thought about it, put down the opened door curtain, turned around and returned to the edge of the kang, took off his shoes, and lay down again

Returned to the kang.

The second aunt didn't know what was going on with her bangs, and said with a confused look:

"Old Liu, aren't you going?"

"Don't go!"

Liu Haizhong put his hands behind his head, closed his eyes, and pretended to sleep.

Seeing this, the second aunt had no choice but to leave the house and continue sitting in the yard washing clothes.

Liu Haizhong was lying on the kang in the room. He opened his eyes and felt confused.

It's not that he doesn't want to go to Xu Qing's house, but he just can't bear to lose face.

Xu Qing is a generation younger than him and has not worked in the factory as long as him.

But unfortunately, Xu Qingti was still an ordinary worker after he quit his job.

Liu Haizhong thought about how he had been working in the factory for so many years, working only as an official and part-time job, and not earning anything. The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Like Liu Haizhong, the senior man from the Central Court also did not go to Xu Qing's house.

However, the first uncle asked the first aunt to pick a handful of celery and give it to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing mentioned Gan, and Yi Zhonghai also wanted to show his good will. In any case, Xu Qing's identity is a manager. If he encounters anything in the factory in the future, Xu Qing's words of help will be better than his own old face.<

/p>

When the aunt walked into Xu Qing's room, she saw Yan Bugui was there. She was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said:

"Xiao Qing, my aunt bought some celery this morning. It's very fresh. You and I are the only two people in my house. We can't eat it. Your uncle asked me to bring it to you. There are many people in the squatter house. You and I can't eat it.

Your younger brothers and sisters eat it."

Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Auntie, I'm so embarrassed."

"What's the point of being embarrassed? We all live in the same compound. Take it and don't show it to anyone else!"

After the aunt said with a smile, she forced the celery into Xu Qing's hand.

Yan Bugui took a look and couldn't help but secretly realized that he didn't take anything today, even the cigarette in his hand was handed over by Xu Qing.

For a moment, I made some calculations in my mind, secretly thinking that when I got home later, I would ask my mother-in-law to bring some food to Xu Qing’s family.

Anyway, seasonal vegetables are now on the market in large quantities and the prices are cheap.

For less than a cent or two, you can get closer to Xu Qing. What a bargain!

After the aunt gave Xu Qing the celery, she stood at the door of the house and exchanged greetings before going back to the courtyard.

The third uncle then left together.

After a while, the third aunt held a handful of leeks and gave them to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing couldn't laugh or cry in his heart. He knew that the third uncle saw that the aunt had given him some celery just now, so he sent the third aunt to give him leeks.

But this way, it was hard for Xu Qing to refuse, so he had to accept it again.

After the second aunt finished washing clothes in the courtyard, she saw that the first aunt and the third aunt had brought some vegetables to Xu Qing. When she returned to the house, she said to Liu Haizhong again: "Old Liu, the first aunt and the third aunt just gave Xu Qing

Qing sent some vegetables, why don’t we send some as well.”

Liu Haizhong lay sideways on the kang, thought for a moment, turned around and said, "Then you can do whatever you want."

After hearing this, the second aunt walked into the kitchen and saw that her vegetables were all bought a few days ago. They were a little wilted and could not be handled. She immediately frowned, walked around the kitchen, and scooped up a small bowl of mung beans.

, ready to serve to Xu Qing.

When Liu Haizhong saw it, he hurriedly shouted angrily: "Are you crazy? Last time I gave you a bowl of white noodles, and if you bring a bowl of mung beans today, our family will not be able to survive?"

The second aunt lowered her head and looked at the mung beans in the bowl in her hand, "Old Liu, our dishes are not cooked well. I don't scoop out the mung beans. What do you want me to bring to Xu Qing's family?"

Liu Haizhong rolled his eyes at the second aunt, "You prodigal bitch! If the food at home is not good, why don't you go out and buy some fresh food later, can't you?!"
