Chapter 204 Jia Zhang cuts Banggeng’s hair(1/2)
He Yuyu smiled and said nothing. He touched the little girl's head, looked up at Xu Qing and said, "Brother Xu Qing, I'm going back first."
As soon as Si Zhu and Yu Yu left, Xu Qing called out to his third brother, who was squatting in front of the wall and playing with brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, and told them to go in and wash their feet and go to sleep.
It was already late at night, the night sky was dark, and the bright moon, as curved as a willow leaf, was almost invisible under the cover of layers of clouds.
The second aunt stopped chatting with the old lady. She picked up the bench and put it into the old lady's room. She stood up and called her two boys to go back to the house quickly.
After a while, the quiet courtyard began to buzz with the sound of insects again.
The second uncle returned from the front yard to the backyard, and the sound of insects stopped suddenly, leaving only the cool evening breeze lingering in the yard.
The next morning, Xu Qing still made breakfast, then took a bite and went out to work alone.
The work in the factory is carried out as usual, and the suspension of classes has no impact on the production of the factory.
After all, the momentum of a large-scale movement has not yet emerged, and a nationwide wave has not swept across the country. The factory is currently relatively peaceful, and society remains relatively stable.
However, how long the school suspension will last has become the most urgent concern of people with children at home.
No one knows the time when classes will resume. Even the few who know the inside story may know better.
But after all, I dare not disclose it to the outside world casually.
Fortunately, this aspect of the problem is the only one, so it won’t cause panic.
At most, it's just common people talking after dinner.
The newspapers in the Forty-Nine Cities did carry out extensive reports, but they were only scratchy, and after reading them, people were still confused.
......
In the last four days of May, schools suddenly began to resume classes one after another.
Just like classes were suspended without warning, they stopped without any reason and then resumed without any reason.
But as soon as May ends, June 1st comes, just in time for "Children's Day!", and the school has another day off.
The students who had just sat in the classroom and had not fully recovered their hearts cheered one by one.
It makes all parents miserable.
However, this is a legal holiday, so no one can say anything.
The good thing is that Children's Day happens to be on the same day as this weekend, so starting from tomorrow, everything will be back on track.
The parents' anxious moods finally calmed down.
In the early morning of June 1st, after Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters had breakfast, they were going to take them to the street to get a haircut and have fun for the day.
During the previous suspension of classes, the third child only listened to the words of his eldest brother Xu Qing and hardly went out to play.
Most of the time, I play with the children in the courtyard and alleys.
When Xu Qing took the three little ones to the front yard, the third aunt was holding a pair of scissors, standing in the middle of the front yard, cutting the hair of the three brothers Yan Jiecheng, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiakuang.
The third uncle is really good at saving money. Going to the street to get a haircut only costs a few cents per person.
But for him, it feels like he is losing money even if he spends an unjust amount of money.
Seeing this, Xu Qing thought to himself: "Today, when the third aunt is giving her three sons a haircut, I can let my second and third brothers have their hair cut together in the courtyard. Why go out to the street?"
Go up and spend money."
Xu Qing thought for a while and turned to look at Xu Aiguo and Xu Fengming.
The two little guys seemed to have guessed what their elder brother meant, and they stood in the front yard without leaving, as if they thought everything was okay.
But Xu Fengming raised his head, grinned and said: "Brother, the third aunt cut my hair. Can you give me the money you saved from going to the barber shop? I want to buy something delicious."
When Xu Qing heard this, he felt happy. He raised his hand and tapped the little guy's head and said, "It's done!"
Xu Fengming happily ran to the third aunt.
Xu Qingze took the little girl and said to the third aunt.
The third aunt smiled and said: "As long as Patriot and Fengming don't dislike my rough craftsmanship."
Xu Fengming shook his head, bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Third aunt, your craftsmanship is so good, how can I mind, my second brother and my sister can't do it either."
The little guy's sweet words made the third aunt feel warm in her heart.
The third uncle Yan Bugui held the rag in his hand, turned around, wiped the bicycle, and said to Xu Qing:
"Xu Qing, are you going to take your younger brother and sister out for a haircut today?"
The third uncle's words are really high level. He opened his mouth and didn't ask you for money, but he said what he wanted to express in a roundabout way.
Xu Qing understood that there was something in the third uncle's words, and said with a smile: "No, today on Children's Day, I plan to take my younger brothers and sisters to play on the street. I saw that my third aunt was cutting Xie Kuang's hair, so I thought of letting my younger brother and sister
Sister, they should also cut it."
Seeing a trace of reluctance on Yan Bugui's face, Xu Qing smiled inwardly, knowing that the third uncle had this problem, so he turned to his third brother Feng Ming and said: "Go back to the house and get the bag and bring it to the third uncle at the front door."
Xu Fengming said oh, took the key, and headed back to the backyard.
Yan Bugui was not embarrassed at all. With a smile on his face, he twisted the rag in his hand and said to Xu Qing: "In our compound, I think you are the most lovable."
Although Xu Qing is now a cadre, Yan Bugui really wants to have a good relationship with him.
But one thing is another thing.
Yan Bugui, a master who never sees rabbits but doesn't let go of hawks, is unambiguous in major matters, but in such small matters, he has always adhered to his consistent style of careful calculation.
Xu Qing smiled and said nothing. Anyway, the big front door in the house was given to Er Mazi before he got married.
I took out a pack of free cigarettes and threw it to the third uncle, so as not to accept his favor and talk about it all day long.
After a while, Xu Fengming ran back to the front yard with a cigarette in his left hand and the keys in his right hand.
"Brother, cigarettes, keys."
Xu Qing handed the cigarette to Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui declined at this time, waving his hands and saying no.
But Xu Qing stuffed it directly into his pocket.
.......
At around nine o'clock, the sun began to shine.
After the third aunt finished cutting Yan Jiecheng's hair, she moved the chair to a cool place away from the sun, asked Xu Aiguo to sit on the chair, surrounded it with old curtains, and then started cutting his hair with the scissors.

In the middle courtyard, Ms. Jia Zhang held the insoles that she had not yet finished collecting in her hands. After looking into the front yard, she saw the third aunt cutting Xu Aiguo's hair. She rolled her eyes, twisted into the house, and pulled the stick. He and Xiaodang ran into the front yard.
"Sister, you will also cut my grandson's hair later. I think your skills are better than those who open barber shops on the street."
Jia Zhang's flattery made the third uncle, who had just finished wiping the bicycle, frown immediately.
Last winter, her son broke his arm while clearing snow from Jia's roof. She, Jia Zhang, hid in the house and didn't even come to see him.
Now I know how to employ people, no way!
Yan Bugui reached into his pocket and took out the cigarettes Xu Qinggang gave him. After unpacking them, he threw one to Xu Qing, stuffed one into the corner of his mouth, lit it and took two puffs and said:
"Xu Qing, why do you smoke this big front door bag you just gave me? It's so good, so smooth, and not choking at all."
Xu Qing smiled, knowing that Yan Bugui was deliberately trying to embarrass Jia Zhang, so he nodded and said yes.
When Jia Zhang heard this, her eyes rolled in her eyes, and she said to Yan Bugui with a smile: "Third uncle, Xu Qing is now a cadre, so naturally he has bought these cigarettes. I don't have any good cigarettes at home, otherwise, I’ll get you a pack too.”
Yanbu Guipi smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, look at what you said, even if you give me a pack of economy cigarettes, I have to take it.
We are neighbors in a large courtyard, and I don’t care whether the cigarettes are good or not.”
When Jia Zhang was in trouble, she knew that Yan Bugui would definitely look down on her if she brought a pack of economical cigarettes.
But she doesn’t want to give good cigarettes.
And she had no intention of giving Yan Bu anything expensive.
As long as she can take advantage of anything, she can do anything, even if she just says something nice, she can talk for a whole day, no problem.
But paying and giving things is not possible.
Jia Zhang also wanted to ask others to give her something to help her family.
How is it possible to take things out of the house?
Furthermore, a pack of big Qianmen costs several cents. Xu Qing gave Yan Bugui a pack of cigarettes, and the three younger siblings had their hair cut, so it was a good deal.
But it’s not worth it for the two of us, Bangge and Xiaodangcai.
Jia Zhang thought for a while and saw that the third aunt ignored her. After having a laugh with Yan Bugui, she turned around and dragged Bang Gang and Xiao Dang back to the middle courtyard.
Since the third aunt was not willing to help Banggan and Xiaodang cut their hair, Jia Zhang decided to do it herself.
Qin Huairu stopped her quickly and slowly, but she didn't even stop her.
Mrs. Jia Zhang asked Banggeng to sit on the bench at the door of the house, took the scissors, and started cutting her hair.
But Jia and Zhang don’t have this skill, and compared to the three aunts, they are not even the slightest bit worse.
