Under the dark night sky, on the lonely street, except for those who came out of the factory after watching a movie, no one else could be seen.

One of the two flashlights in Xu Qing's hand was taken away by the naughty Xu Fengming.

The little guy held a flashlight and ran in front of Xu Qing and others. He kept shining it back and forth, sometimes shining it on the ground, and sometimes raising it to the sky.

Xu Aiguo walked beside Xu Qing and did not play with Xu Fengming. He reached out and took the third brother's bench from his eldest brother.

The little girl held Xu Qing's hand and looked at the third brother playing happily in front. She was a little envious, but the girl was reserved and never ran over to play.

Silly Zhu held his and He Yuyu's Maza in his left hand, and held a flashlight in his right hand. After passing a cigarette to Xu Qing, he kept shaking the flashlight at Xu Fengming, deliberately teasing him.

This made the little guy very dissatisfied. He angrily turned his head and rolled his eyes at Silly Zhu in protest.

Silly Zhu grinned. He liked to tease children for fun. If He Yuyu hadn't nudged him with his elbow, Silly Zhu could have teased the little guy all the way back to the courtyard.

Along the way, Xu Qing and Silly Zhu did not see anyone else in the compound, probably they were still behind.

After returning to the compound, as expected, the front yard was completely dark, and the lights in the middle yard, including Jia's house, were on.

Banggan was secretly skating alone in the middle courtyard while Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were not around, using the light from the door and window.

Due to his disability, Jia Dong was unable to get off the kang, so he could only lie on the window and keep shouting persuasion.

But Banggeng didn't pay any attention to it. Although his leg was broken and he couldn't recover properly, and the splint tied to his leg was not removed, the ice formed by the dirty water in the yard made him enjoy playing endlessly.

Banggan saw Xu Fengming shining the flashlight directly on his face, wrinkled his nose, tilted his head, looked at Xu Fengming sideways, snorted coldly, turned around and ran back into the house.

Xu Fengming and Banggan are in the courtyard. They have been fighting a lot in the past two years.

When Xu Fengming came back from school in the afternoon, he was stuck in an alley, trying to clean up Bangeng.

When Banggeng saw Xu Fengming, he was naturally like a mouse seeing a cat, trembling with fear.

However, adults generally don't get involved in the fights between children. If they see it, they will at most pull away and say a few words.

It will not cause discord between neighbors just because of children's petty quarrels.

Of course, if Jia and Zhang see it, they will naturally be nagging.

The Jia Zhang family is famous throughout the neighborhood for protecting calves.

If the kid in the alley next door beat up BangGeng, Jia Zhang would have to drag BangGeng to the door and ask for an explanation!

Whether it was Bangge who made the first move or the other's child, in Jia Zhang's eyes, even if the other's child does something wrong and ignores it, it will cause trouble.

On the other hand, in her own courtyard, Jia Zhang had gone to Xu Qing's house twice to complain because Xu Fengming and Xu Aiguo beat them up until their noses were bruised and their faces were swollen.

But next time, Mrs. Jia and Zhang stopped talking, because Xu Fengming and Xu Aiguo blocked the entrance of the alley with sticks every day. They neither beat nor scolded them, but they were not allowed to enter the courtyard.

After several tortures, Mrs. Jia Zhang lost her temper, but the boy Bangge was dissatisfied and would bully the little girl in school from time to time.

So every once in a while, Xu Fengming would find some good jokes to vent his anger on his sister.

He has received many beatings from Bangge, but this kid has held grudges since he was a child, and I don’t know if he was spoiled by Jia Zhang.

He was not polite to almost everyone in the courtyard. He didn't learn anything from following Qin Huairu, but instead followed the Jia Zhang family.

Xu Fengming stood at the door of Jia's house, shining his flashlight towards the door, and his face suddenly showed a look of expression.

The little girl doesn't like to talk to Banggeng and others, and she gets upset when she sees her.

At this moment, I dragged my eldest brother Xu Qing and headed back to the backyard.

Silly Zhu and He Yuyu said to Xu Qing in the middle courtyard: "See you tomorrow!"

Then they went back to their own house.

Xu Qing called out to Xu Fengming, and then the four siblings went back to the backyard together.

In the backyard, the lights in the old lady's house were on, and the second uncle's house and Xu Damao's house were completely dark.

Obviously, they, the first and third uncles, and Qin Huairu have not returned yet.

Xu Fengming held a flashlight, asked Xu Qing for the key to the door, and ran to the door to open the door.

Xu Aiguo and the little girl also followed and ran over.

When Xu Qing walked to the door of the house, he grabbed two briquettes and took them back.

At this time, Xu Qinglin stuffed the stove in the front room with two briquettes when he went out and did not let it go out.

So the room is still warm, but the fire on the kitchen stove has been out for a long time.

But it doesn't matter, the kang has been heated for a long time, and it won't get cold in a few hours.

Coupled with the stove in the front room, Xu Qing would throw two briquettes to suppress the fire at night, so he would not feel cold all night.

Seeing that the water in the kettle on the stove was still boiling hot, Xu Qing asked the three little ones to quickly get their own footbaths to wash their feet.

Xu Qing carried the remaining hot water in the kettle into the kitchen and used it to wash the dishes.

When Xu Qing came out of the kitchen, he saw that the three little guys had not only washed their feet, but also got into their own beds.

Xu Qing walked to the edge of the kang, tucked in the quilts for his younger brothers and sisters one by one, then sat in front of the stove and washed his feet.

Then he threw the briquettes he had brought back into the stove, put down the fire, held two flashlights and placed them beside the pillow, got on the kang, pulled out the quilt, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

The room was instantly dark, and the faint light coming through the curtains outside the window made that area appear slightly less dark.

.........

Early morning, around eight o'clock in the morning.

Xu Qing and Sanxiao were sitting on the kang in the front room and had just finished breakfast when they heard a noise coming from the front yard.

Immediately afterwards, Shazhu burst in from outside the house with a happy face and shouted excitedly to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, Director Wang of the sub-district office has brought people here, and he has also summoned all the people from the alleys in our neighborhood. Please clean up quickly and go to the front yard. Everyone is waiting for you."

As soon as Si Zhu finished speaking, Xu Damao also stepped in and said to Xu Qing:

"Qingzi, Director Wang brought rice and flour. They are probably for you. Don't clear away the bowls and chopsticks on your kang."

"Silly Zhu." Xu Damao raised his hand, turned to look at Silly Zhu and said: "You can see that the dishes and chopsticks in Qingzi's room have been cleared away. After you finish your work, you, too, will wander over to the front yard.

As you said, everyone in our hospital must be here today!

Qin Huairu carried Dongxu to the front yard, and Auntie and Yuyu also helped the old lady into the front yard."

Xu Damao has been hanging out with the factory leaders for a long time, and he speaks with style and a bit of a leader.

Silly Zhu was a little reluctant, but he didn't think there was anything wrong with helping Xu Qing wash the dishes.

I am very unhappy with Xu Damao’s tone of voice.
