Chapter 189 Xu Damao’s team-up

 Chapter 190 Xu Damao joins forces

Xu Qing's work in the factory has been very relaxed these two days, and he doesn't have to work in the workshop.

Although I still have to deal with the workshop, the nature of the work is different. I am still busy. Relatively speaking, I am not as tired as before.

Back in the backyard, Xu Qing saw the little girl and Xu Fengming chatting around the old lady, so he walked over, sat aside, and chatted with the old lady for a while.

Xu Damao has been severely punishing him recently. After stopping his outside work, he came back early after work every day.

At this moment, he had nothing to do. He banged his bicycle at the door of his house, turned around and ran to the old lady, holding a cigarette in his mouth and sat next to Xu Qing.

The old lady hugged the little girl in her arms. Seeing that Xu Damao had behaved well during this period, she kindly said:

"Da Mao, stop fooling around outside from now on. Look at Xiaoqing, you are already a cadre. You and Silly Zhu, you two are just doing nothing all day long. You don't work hard and don't think about finding a partner to get married as soon as possible. If you are fooling around, be careful of getting too old and becoming a bachelor."

Hearing this, Xu Damao couldn't laugh or cry and said: "Old lady, please stop worrying about my affairs. My parents don't rush me, so why are you meddling in it?"

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he reached out and grabbed the old lady's crutch, waved it in the air twice, and continued: "Don't compare me with Silly Zhu. He can't find a partner. That's because his kid has no ability. I, Xu Damao, want to find someone." My partner, we want to get married. It only takes a minute. I can bring a girl back as soon as tomorrow."

The old lady glanced at Xu Damao and was too lazy to tell him any more.

Although Xu Damao lives in the backyard, the old lady likes Xu Qing more than him.

Even Silly Zhu is better than Xu Damao in the old lady's mind.

Xu Damao has never been wild in the courtyard since he was a child, and Silly Zhu rarely does anything mischievous.

It’s not that Shazhu caused less trouble in and outside the courtyard, but it’s that Shazhu is not as thoughtful as Xu Damao.

Silly Zhu is more honest. From time to time he goes to the old lady's house, talks to her, and even gives her things.

Although Xu Damao occasionally brings some food to the old lady, he is never as diligent as Si Zhu.

Therefore, the old lady's feelings for Silly Zhu are deeper than those for Xu Damao.

Xu Fengming caught four crickets in the yard today. Now he is squatting in front of the old lady holding a can and teasing them with a weed.

Xu Qing turned to look at the little guy and said, "Have you finished your homework?"

Xu Fengming, who was playing happily, raised his head and smiled: "I have finished writing it a long time ago. Brother, if you don't believe it, ask Xiaoya."

The little girl nodded her head and said: "Brother, as soon as the third brother came back today, he was lying in our room doing homework."

When Xu Qing heard what the little girl said, he nodded, stood up, raised his arms high, stretched, and walked back to his room to prepare dinner.

Because Xu Damao said today that he wanted to have a partner at his house.

Xu Qing now not only wants to cook for him and the three little ones, but also Xu Damao's.

Of course, Xu Damao pays for food. One dinner a day for a month costs ten yuan.

In addition, Xu Damao also gave Xu Qing three of his food stamps for this month.

He was too lazy to cook and ate out every day, which cost too much. Once his business as a second-hand dealer stopped, he had no extra income and no longer dared to eat or drink.

When going to his parents' house, Xu Damao didn't want to run in both directions. After thinking about it, he thought it would be better to hang out at Xu Qing's house.

But in the compound, Xu Damao knew that the best deal would be to team up with Silly Zhu.

Silly Zhu is good at cooking and the food he cooks is delicious, but he and Silly Zhu don’t get along.

Therefore, Xu Damao felt that it was most suitable to team up in Xu Qing's house.

Now that half of May has passed, Xu Damao first gave Xu Qing five yuan and two food stamps.

Xu Qing didn't think there was anything wrong with it and agreed.

It’s nothing more than getting an extra pair of chopsticks every day.

Furthermore, Xu Qing could use his ability to divide the food stamps given by Xu Damao. He could indirectly get three more food stamps and buy more food without having to ask someone to borrow it. Why not do it.

Xu Qing went into the house and washed his hands, and asked his second brother in front of the kitchen stove to read in the yard. Then he grabbed a few steamed buns from the cupboard, opened the lid of the pot, and put them in.

More than half an hour later, Xu Qing cooked two plates of vegetables and sat in the front room with San Xiaozhi and Xu Damao to have dinner.

Both plates are vegetarian, which is how he and his younger brothers and sisters usually eat. If Xu Damao wants to join the team, just eat with him. Xu Qing won't go out with him!

Xu Damao pinched the steamed bun, took two bites, picked up the shredded potatoes with chopsticks, and frowned.

He is used to living a good life and enjoys eating meat. He also eats meat and vegetables in the cafeteria at noon.

But Xu Qing’s previous meat coupons could only be eaten occasionally two or three times a month.

Although I divided my abilities once and could buy more meat, there was still not enough food for the large family.

These days, the price of meat is not high. The problem is the scarcity of supplies, especially meat, which is extremely short.

It doesn't mean that if you have a ticket or money, you can eat. If the meat is sold out when you buy it, you will just stare.

After Xu Damao ate a steamed bun, he put down his chopsticks.

Xu Fengming saw that Xu Damao was full after just one steamed bun. While chewing the steamed bun in his mouth, he muttered:

"Brother Damao, your appetite is not as big as mine. I can even eat one and a half steamed buns."

Xu Damao held the enamel teapot, drank two sips of boiling water, reached out and took out a cigarette from his pocket, held it in the corner of his mouth and said:

"Yes, you have a big appetite, I can't compare to you, okay."

Xu Fengming smiled, took a big bite of the steamed bun, and continued eating.

Seeing this, Xu Qing said to Xu Damao:

"Brother Damao, if you feel like it's too vegetarian, buy some meat tomorrow and I'll stir-fry some meat and vegetables for you."

Xu Damao took a puff of cigarette, looked up at Xu Qing, and said quietly:

"Qingzi, where's your own meat ticket? I'm working in your house right now. I'll eat whatever you eat."

Xu Qing grinned: "Brother Damao, I celebrated last week, so I bought them all and finished eating them."

Xu Damao scratched his forehead with his hand, feeling a little shortchanged.

If I had known this, I should have come to Xu Qing’s house next month to have sex.

But the matter has come to this, the food expenses and food stamps have been given to Xu Qing, and there is no way to regret it.

After thinking about it for a while, Xu Damao had no choice but to take out the meat ticket from his body and hand it to Xu Qing.

"Take it, after get off work tomorrow afternoon, brother, I will take you to the state-owned store, let's buy some meat."

Xu Qing smiled and put the meat ticket on his body.

When Xu Fengming and the little girl heard that they would eat meat tomorrow, their faces instantly blossomed with joy.

At this moment, Silly Zhu walked into Xu Qing's room with a soda bottle in his hand.

Seeing that Xu Damao was there, with bowls and chopsticks in front of him, Shazhu raised his eyebrows, looked at Xu Damao, and hummed:
Chapter completed!
