Chapter 282 Brother-in-law is getting married

Xu Qing knew why the little girl didn't eat. She was afraid that if she ate it, her daughter-in-law Jinghong would not be able to eat it in the future.

But now there are a lot of eggs at home, and it doesn’t mean that just because one, two, or two or three meals are missing, we will no longer be able to eat them.

Although these days, materials are scarce and all kinds of things are scarce, which makes people a little scared.

And Xu Qing knew that the hard days in the future would never happen again, and everything would gradually get better.

As long as you change the starting point, all problems will no longer be problems.

At that time, people with flexible minds would not be short of food and clothing as long as they were diligent, and those with high academic qualifications would be able to thrive like a fish in water.

It’s the end of the year now, and it will be the year 1970. Everything won’t last long.

Seeing that the little girl still refused to agree, Xu Qing had to do it himself and divide the egg custard into three parts, one for himself, one for Jinghong, and one for the little girl.

For Xu Qing, the two people in front of him were the daughter-in-law he married last year and the younger sister who had been dependent on each other since childhood.

We are all relatives, the palms and backs of our hands are all flesh,

Naturally, anyone can eat good food.

In the courtyard outside the house, the biting cold wind was roaring, bringing with it a blanket of snow, descending on the world like a surprise at night.

Inside the house, Xu Qing, his wife, and sister were sitting on the warm kang, eating dinner.

At this point, everyone in the courtyard was sitting in their respective rooms eating. Xu Damao, who also lived in the backyard, was sitting in his own home, eating while listening to Qin Jingru say that Xu Fengming left today.

The expression on Xu Damao's face was a little startled, but he didn't feel anything.

Xu Fengming is leaving today, and Xu Damao knows it.

When Xu Fengming returned to the city a few days ago, Xu Damao went to Xu Qing's house to sit alone for a while in the evening and listened to Xu Fengming talk about returning to the commune today.

Moreover, in Xu Damao's view, whether Xu Fengming leaves or not has little impact on him.

Xu Fengming is not his brother, so he doesn't need to worry about it.

Furthermore, his current position in the factory is quite high, so anyone who sees him must be respectful and polite.

In addition, Xu Damao also wants to get rid of the person named Li so that he can become the leader.

Xu Damao's ambitions are so big that a mere deputy director cannot satisfy him.

It's a pity that no matter how bright his brain is and how shrewd he is, he is still a little immature compared to the old fox named Li.

The ambition of the city named Li is deeper and bigger than his.

Xu Damao has just been promoted from a projectionist, and neither his wrists nor his feet can compare with him.

However, since Xu Damao has this idea, he will not give it up easily.

He wanted to make a name for himself in the factory, he wanted to step on those named Li, he wanted to be proud and proud, and he wanted to pay back all the injustice he had suffered over the years.

However, Xu Damao had no idea for the time being, and he couldn't tell others casually. Even if he wanted to ask Xu Qing, who was more educated than him, to give him his idea, he didn't dare.

A person can only think of a solution secretly.

However, even if Xu Damao took the initiative to find Xu Qing, Xu Qing was too lazy to pay attention to his matter.

Before Xu Damao became an official, he was a pretty good person, but since he became the deputy director of the factory, he has changed a lot.

Especially when I divorced Lou Xiao'e and broke up with San Huzi, it was called a decisive break!

They are simply cold-blooded animals without any emotion.

Xu Qing deliberately kept a distance from Xu Damao, but now he can no longer communicate with him normally.

When Xu Damao became an official, he became so popular that he couldn't listen to anything Xu Qing said.

In this case, why bother playing the piano to a cow.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Xu Aiguo, who was a little drunk, took the flashlight Er Mazi gave him and walked back to the compound in the snow.

In the pitch-black night, the snowflakes reflected by the light beam were crystal clear, and a layer of snowflakes fell on the ground, more like a white blanket.

It's early in the morning and no one working in the compound gets up early on the weekend.

Although the sky was bright, it was overcast, and the snow continued to fall all night long. It was already past eight o'clock when Xu Qing got up. He was in the quiet courtyard, so he got up early.

It's snowing today, the weather is cold and freezing, and no one wants to get up early.

You don’t have to go to work anyway, why do you get up so early?

Xu Qing couldn't sleep. Last night he dreamed of returning to the afterlife. After opening his eyes early in the morning, he had no intention of sleeping anymore.

I had no choice but to get dressed, stand outside the house alone, and smoke quietly.

The snow in the courtyard has accumulated a bit thickly all night, and ice slips are hung on the eaves again, and the walls are white with frost. Winter is winter again, the same as in previous years, but it seems different.

There are changes, but overall they don't seem to be much.

Just like whether it is now or in future generations, life or life, year or four seasons, the sun still rises in the east and sets in the west, and people are always busy in order to live.

Xu Qing breathed a sigh of relief and took a puff of cigarette, with mixed thoughts in his eyes.

Xu Qing now does not have to worry about food and clothing. This is the biggest difference from 1962.

At the same time, as his younger brothers and sisters have grown up, Xu Qing has gradually fewer things to worry about.

Fortunately, the relationship between Xu Qing and the three little ones has not become estranged by the passage of time. On the contrary, it has grown stronger and closer with the passage of time.

However, the younger brothers and sisters have become busy now, and they no longer have the fun of hanging around the eldest brother Xu Qing when they were in junior high school or elementary school.

Looking back, Xu Qing really misses those hard days. Although there was nothing at home at that time, his younger brother and sister all thought it was delicious when they ate a roasted sweet potato, which made them happy all night long.

As for what people in the courtyard think of it, Xu Qing doesn't care.

Now, I still don’t care.

Life at home is getting better, everyone in the compound is jealous, and Xu Qing knows it.

But it doesn’t matter, they are jealous and let them go, just like it’s going to snow this winter, if you can’t stop it, then let it fall.

There will eventually be a day when it stops, the clouds will clear up and the sun will come out.

Xu Qing put out the cigarette, looked at the white snow, put back his scattered thoughts, and turned to look at the cold and untouchable bicycle.

In the past few years since I bought the car, I have done a lot of things, and it has made me go to and from get off work much faster. Even if I go to a state-owned store to buy something, I can feel much more relaxed when I have a bicycle and put it on the crossbar or the back seat.

I hummed and recited it, not to mention the time spent on the road, and I was terribly tired.

But having said that, Xu Qing didn’t have a car before, so he really didn’t have to carry it. He didn’t have one, but others did. There was Xu Damao in the courtyard, and there were old classmates in the factory, and now his brother-in-law Ma Jiefang.

Xu Qing can always borrow a car if he goes to them.

At the moment, Xu Qing was holding the cold handlebar with his warm hands. With nothing to do, he squatted down, took a handful of the snow on the ground under the eaves, compacted it with both palms, and used the snow to hit the car.

The stains rub together.

Xu Qing is not as diligent as the third uncle. Whenever he has free time, he will clean and wash the car.

It’s not like Damao is so lazy that he doesn’t clean up once every ten days and a half.

Xu Qing insists on cleaning the bicycle once a month to prevent it from looking too dirty. As a cadre, it is necessary to maintain your dignity.

It wouldn't be right if you stay slovenly all day long.

Xu Qing squeezed the snow and wiped the car for a while, and his hands turned red from the cold, but after a while, his hands began to heat up again.

Xu Qing couldn't help but think of an old saying that he heard somewhere. It is said that if you have frostbite on your hands in winter, you can wash it with snow a few times and it will get better.

Whether it is true or not, Xu Qing is not sure.

He has never suffered from frostbite, but there must be some truth to the fact that this saying has been passed down.

Xu Qing was busy for a while. The door of the next door room creaked open. The little girl, wearing a thick cotton-padded jacket, stepped out of the room. When she saw Xu Qing, she said with a smile on her pretty face:

"Brother, you woke up so early, why don't you sleep more and spend more time with my sister-in-law."

Xu Qing shook off the muddy snow from his hands, stood up and said, "I can't sleep anymore, so get up and wipe the car."

The little girl took a breath of air-conditioning and shuddered. She looked at Xu Qing's frozen red hands with a reproachful expression on her face, "Brother, really, why are you wiping the car with snow in such a cold day? You will eat it if you wait."

After breakfast, I brought out a basin of hot water to help you clean up."

Xu Qing looked at the little girl and smiled without saying a word.

Living in the city, in the middle of winter, there is really nothing to do, and during the rest of the day, there is nothing to be busy with.

You go to work every month and are paid by the factory. During the rest of the time, even if you want to engage in other side jobs, you are not allowed to do so these days.

Otherwise, why would there always be so many trivial things happening in the compound? It’s not just a matter of idleness.

If people in the city are busy from morning to night every day, Jia and Zhang will have no time to be angry with others, and Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu of the second uncle's family will have no time to challenge Liu Haizhong.

Speaking of the two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, Xu Qing has not seen them in the courtyard very often in the past few days. He doesn't know if they are busy with work or tinkering with other things.

Xu Qing didn't pay much attention to this. The two brothers were not on bad terms, and he didn't pay much attention to them.

At about ten o'clock in the morning, the snow stopped, but the sky was gray and the clouds were very low. It seemed like it would rain again today.

Xu Qing was in the house with his second brother Aiguo, his wife Jinghong, and the little girl. The four of them were just getting ready to have breakfast.
