Xu Qing reached out to take the thing, and the old branch secretary said immediately: "I almost forgot just now. It was early in the morning. I was riding our tractor in the brigade. Your second father stuffed it to me on the road.

I asked me to pass it over to you, saying that you don’t need to send money at home. If he is here, I will tell you not to worry too much, let you work hard and take good care of your younger brothers and sisters.”

Xu Qing opened the newspaper and found a stack of fur tickets, one cent, five cents, and roughly, there were four or five cents.

This is obviously not the ten yuan he sent to his grandparents at the post office a few days ago. I think it was the second father who secretly took his own money on his back and gave it to him.

Xu Qing held the money in his hand and was stunned for a moment. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

My father and second father grew up together and have always had a good relationship. Although my second father stayed in the countryside and was plagued by farming, he had hardly been to the city.

But in the past, every time he went home during the Chinese New Year, he was very enthusiastic, happy, and excited when he saw him and his three little boys.

Although it is only a few cents, it is not much. Living in the countryside, I can’t make a lot of money all year round, and I can’t save up even more. I can only fill my stomach and make a living, which is different from in the city.

Although the city people are not living a good life these days and are very tight, they are still better than in the countryside. They work in the city and earn wages when they go to work, but in the countryside they can only earn work points.

The only benefit is that there are few places to spend money in rural areas, and vegetables are all grown in the ground, so they are self-sufficient and do not need to spend money to buy them.

All we can say is that each has its pros and cons.

When the old branch secretary saw Xu Qing not speaking, he smoked and said:

"Don't think about it. Listen to your second father, take it, and you can pack up those three packs of things quickly, don't lose them. I have something to do, so let's go first."

Xu Qing came to his senses and looked at the old branch secretary and said:

"Grandpa Fifth, it's noon now. I'll take you to have a meal first. If you have something to do, you have to eat first and then be busy."

"Ha, you kid really grew up!" The old branch secretary looked at Xu Qing, and a smile appeared on his old face, "It's really like your father, I've been likable since I was a child.

But I really have something to do with Grandpa Fifth, and when we came here, we had all had dinner."

"That fifth grandpa, after you finish your business, come to my house to stay in the evening!" Xu Qing spoke again.

The old branch secretary gestured to Xu Qing with his eyes, and the few people around him said:

"We have so many people, how can you live in your family? Forget it, next time, I will come to the city alone next time, I will definitely go to your house."

The old branch secretary waved his hand and said with a smile. Seeing that Xu Qing wanted to say something else, he refused one after another, then waved to Xu Qing, turned around, raised his hand, and left with the others.

Most people in rural villages have been related to their relatives. The old branch secretary and Xu Qing are also the same family. Although they are not brothers with Grandpa Xu Qing, they are the same ones when they fall upwards.

Xu Qing watched the old branch secretary, Grandpa Fifth and his friends leave, and then he carried the three bags of things on the ground into the factory.

When I got off work in the afternoon, the sky became gray again, a little darker than yesterday, making people feel depressed, and the air was not as cold as early as the morning.

Xu Qing took out three bags of things and carried the carriage from the workshop.

Xu Damao happened to meet him while riding a bicycle. Seeing Xu Qing carrying a lot of things, he stopped in front of him and said:

"Come on, put it in the car, brother, I'll take you back."

Xu Qing didn't want to bother Xu Damao, but the three bags of things were quite heavy. It was inevitable to struggle along the way.

He had to listen to Xu Damao's words and hung a large bag of things on the handlebars and placed one on the crossbeam of the bicycle. The last bag was Xu Qing sitting on the back seat of the bicycle and holding it in his hand.

Fortunately, the 28-large bicycle has a beam in the middle and carries things, which is very convenient, otherwise it would be really difficult to carry.

Xu Damao compacted the big bag on the cross beam a little, turned his head to look at Xu Qing and said:

"Boy, let's go now."

While speaking, Xu Damao stepped on his footsteps hard, rode his bicycle, and staggered toward the factory gate.

Sha Zhu waited for Qin Huairu when he got off work today. When he saw Xu Qing being taken away by Xu Damao on a bicycle, he gave up the idea of ​​helping Xu Qing carry things.

At this moment, he was going out to the factory gate with Qin Huairu.

Nowadays, it is very convenient to have a bicycle, whether it is to go to and from get off work or go out to do business.

Not long after, Xu Qing and Xu Damao returned to the courtyard.

At this time, in the courtyard, the third uncle Yan Bugui had just returned from get off work and saw Xu Damao bringing Xu Qing, and the bicycle was full of things.

I thought it was Xu Damao who went to the countryside again today, but Yan Bugui didn't ask, and the two sons in the room were still injured, and he had no intention of thinking about other things.

When passing by the intermediate yard, Xu Qing saw Jia Zhang sitting at the door of the house, putting insoles. An old lady seemed to be busy making dinner in the house, and streams of white water vapor kept floating into the yard along the kitchen window.

Seeing that Xu Qing and Xu Damao were back, Jia Zhang had three big bags on the bicycle. He immediately stretched his neck and glanced at him. Seeing that the big bags were all sealed with ropes, he looked disappointed in an instant, and then glared at Xu Qing and Xu Damao fiercely.

Xu Qing saw Jia Zhang's eyes staring out of the corner of his eyes because he was sitting in the back seat.

But I didn't bother with her. First, I sat on the bicycle, and second, there was no need.

If you are involved in this "living treasure" of Jia Zhang, you will make trouble for him. It would be better to ignore him.

After entering the backyard, Xu Damao parked his bicycle in front of Xu Qing's house door.

Xu Qing slipped down from the back seat, put the thing on the ground, and took out a cigarette and handed it to Xu Damao to show his gratitude.

After all, if it weren't for Xu Damao today, he would probably have been walking for a long time before he could come back.

Xu Damao took the cigarette, lit the fire directly, smoked, and sat on the bicycle and shouted head-on to the three little ones in the room:

"Patriotic, Feng Ming, Xiaoya, you three little guys come out quickly and help your elder brother carry things!"

The three little ones were lying on the edge of the kang in the house to do their homework, but when they heard Xu Damao's shouting, they all rushed out of the house.

He ran to Xu Qing and rushed to carry things.

However, the little girl obviously couldn't carry the three bags of things, so Xu Aiguo didn't have much. Although he was a little more laborious, he still picked up a bag.

As for Xu Fengming, he felt heavy as soon as he picked it up, so he put it on the ground again, squatted down, reached out to open the bag, and wanted to see what was inside.

Xu Qing didn't stop him, and his third brother was the most beautiful and naughty, so he let him open it.

As soon as the sealed rope was untied, three red apples rolled out, and a sweet potato was exposed halfway.

The two sons of Liu Haizhong who lived in the backyard, came back from school and saw the apples on the ground in the yard. Their eyes were shining and their schoolbags were not put in the room. They ran over and stood in front of Xu Qing, the three little ones and Xu Damao, staring at the big red apples on the ground with their eyes fixed on them.

Xu Qing bent down and picked up the apple, gave it to Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong each, then took out three from his bag and stuffed them into the three little hands.

Xu Damao pinched the apple given by Xu Qing, feeling a little embarrassed, but when he smelled the apple was very fragrant, he couldn't help but wipe it randomly on his clothes, and took a big bite, and started to eat it, exclaiming in his mouth:

"Xu Qing, the apples your relative brought for you are so sweet!"

Xu Qing smiled, reached out to pick up two big bags, and prepared to go back into the house.

At this moment, the second aunt opened the curtain and walked out. When she heard Xu Damao's words, she saw the two big bags of things in Xu Qing's hand, and her eyes became envious.
Chapter completed!
