Chapter 188 Face has to be given

Xu Qing sat in the so-called small study room of the third uncle. He looked around and saw that most of what he saw were sundries that were not used at ordinary times.

The only thing worth mentioning is that the third uncle used stacks of books, newspapers, and lesson plans to isolate the debris, leaving a space for a table and two chairs, with pen holders, pen holders, inkstones, and ink on them.

Bottles and other things for his leisurely and elegant entertainment.

After Xu Qing exchanged a few pleasantries, he went straight to the point and said:

"Third uncle, I plan to make my second brother patriotic and take the high school entrance examination this year. I would like to ask for your help."

Yan Bugui, a shrewd man, took a puff of his cigarette after hearing Xu Qing's words. He glanced at the things Xu Qing put down on the table from the corner of his eye and said immediately:

"Xu Qing, your second brother should be promoted to the third grade of junior high school in the second half of this year. You want him to take the high school entrance examination. This is not easy to handle."

Xu Qing took out the big front door he carried on his body, handed it to Yan Bugui and said:

"Third uncle, why don't we ask you to come here? You are a teacher in the school and a cultural person in our compound. Apart from you, the first and second uncles, how can they compare to you in this matter!"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui smiled, shook the ashes from his cigarette, and felt very comfortable.

Who wouldn’t like to hear pleasant words and pleasant words?

Yan Bugui, a person with a good face, felt that it was helpful and wished Xu Qing could say more.

Although he is only the third uncle, he always thinks in his heart that Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are the first and second uncles of the compound simply because they are a little older than him.

In terms of ability, I am an intellectual. Whether it is reading, reading newspapers, words, deeds, speaking, etc., I completely overwhelm them both.

Xu Qing was able to find him directly today, and his vision was quite good.

However, Yan Bugui couldn't understand why Xu Qing was anxious to let Patriot take the high school entrance examination a year in advance.

The matter is unclear, so he doesn't dare to agree casually. This matter is naturally nothing to him, but if he is hiding something he doesn't know and involves him, Yan Bugui will beat him to death.

After a pause, Yan Bugui asked curiously: "Xu Qing, why are you so worried about letting Aiguo go to high school?"

Xu Qing took a puff of cigarette, scratched his head and said: "Third uncle, it's not like you don't know. You also know the current situation of my family. My parents are not here now. My brothers, sisters and I are alone in the factory."

I don't want my second brother to go to school early so that I can live on the salary I earn.

I am eighteen this year, and I will be getting married in a few years. I am so worried."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he continued: "Right now, my brothers and sisters are still young, so they don't have much to spend money on, but in a few years, they will go to high school and college, and as they grow up, their daily expenses will increase.

, I’m afraid I can’t afford it alone.”

Yan Bugui nodded, secretly feeling that Xu Qing was right.

Because he himself has three sons and one daughter, and he has a deep understanding of how much it costs per month.

I budget carefully every month, save what I can, and don’t spend money if I can. But excluding daily expenses for food, clothing, and favors, I can’t save even ten yuan at the end of the month.

Xu Qing is alone, with three younger brothers and sisters, and he also has to consider his own life events. It is really a troublesome thing to pile them all together.

As for Xu Qing, although he did not say that the most critical factor was the change in entering a higher education in 1966, what he just said was also a main reason.

The family can cope with him alone for the time being, but after all, it is impossible to take care of him forever. For now, the only way is to help the three little ones lay a solid foundation while they are still young.

They have to walk their own path in the future.

Yan Bugui threw the burned cigarette butt into the iron can on the table, looked up at Xu Qing, thought quickly in his mind, and still felt a little hesitant.

It’s just that Xu Qing is a cadre now, so he needs to be given face!

In the past, Yan Bugui might have been prevaricating, but now, Xu Qing's status is different.

Not students, not workers, but cadres.

He was still thinking yesterday that if Xu Qing became a cadre, he would be able to benefit from it in the future. Naturally, he could not treat Xu Qing like a child like before.

Moreover, Xu Qing also took something. Yan Bugui stretched out his hand, held it up, put the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"Then Xu Qing, I'll help you find someone and come up with ideas, but I can't guarantee that it will work, but I will definitely try my best."

Xu Qing hummed, "No problem, Third Master, I believe you. This matter is a piece of cake for you."

Yan Bugui smiled, grabbed the cigarette that Xu Qing had handed him before, held it in the corner of his mouth, lit it, and asked about Xu Aiguo's current study status.

Xu Qing told the third uncle in detail.

Yan Bugui listened quietly and took a pen and paper to jot down briefly on the table.

More than an hour later, Xu Qing left Yan Bugui's small study and walked back to the backyard in the dark night.

When passing through the middle courtyard, Xu Qing met Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, who were chatting in the courtyard.

Qin Huairu was sick today and asked for a day off. Xu Qing walked over and asked:

"Sister Qin, are you feeling better?"

Qin Huairu said softly: "My mother-in-law performed cupping on me in the morning, and Shazhu gave me two painkillers in the afternoon. I'm much better now."

Xu Qing stood in the middle courtyard and chatted with Qin Huairu and Shazhu for a few minutes, then continued to go back to the backyard.

As soon as he returned to his room, Xu Qing rolled up his sleeves and was about to go into the kitchen to wash the dishes and chopsticks used for dinner when the little girl smiled and lay on the edge of the kang, grabbed his arm and said:

"Brother, don't go to the kitchen. My second brother, third brother, and I have all finished washing for you."

Xu Qing turned his head and looked, Xu Fengming shook his head proudly and said:

"Brother, please don't say again that I didn't do anything today."

Xu Qing saw that the little guy was so arrogant, so he didn't go to the kitchen. He put down his rolled-up sleeves, sat on the kang, reached out and knocked on his third brother's forehead:

"Take your textbook and I'll randomly check your recitation of the text."

Xu Fengming suddenly frowned, reluctantly slipped off the kang, walked to the wall at the door of the house, and took out the Chinese textbook in his schoolbag.

After lowering his head and taking a quick look, he handed it to Xu Qing, stood in front of the Kang edge, and started to recite it.

The little girl sat next to Xu Qing on the edge of the kang, stretched her neck, looked at the textbook content in her elder brother's hand, and helped him check it.

As long as Xu Fengming memorizes a word wrong, the little girl will immediately correct it.

The angry Xu Fengming turned dark and unhappy.

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention, as long as the third brother could recite it.

After Xu Fengming finished reciting, Xu Qing put the textbook into the little guy's hand and said:

"Read what my sister corrected for you just now, so you don't make any more mistakes when you recite it to your teacher tomorrow."

The little guy lay down on the edge of the kang, spread out the textbook, turned to the little girl, pursed his lips, and then lowered his head to read what he had just recited.

In the courtyard outside the house, the night is dark and the moon is bright, the insects are chirping quietly, and the evening breeze is blowing, bringing with it wisps of coolness, quietly flowing in through the doors and windows towards the illuminated houses.
