Chapter 113 Farewell
At this time in the room, only grandma dared to complain and complain to grandpa.
The old man felt that what he said just now was right!
It’s this temper that has never changed at all for the rest of my life, especially when my temper rises, my face is always uncontrollably serious, and a stern face can scare people to death.
Seeing the little girl and Xu Fengming, she was so scared that she fell into her arms. The old man complained:
"Old man, you just talk about it. Who can you show it to me? They are all your own children, why can't you restrain your bad temper!"
The old man held the cigarette in his hand and said nothing, and glanced at the little girl from the corner of his eyes.
Then he squeezed out a smile on his face and said, "Okay, I won't say anything anymore. Anyway, I'll finish what I should say."
The little girl and Xu Fengming were timid and smiled on her grandfather's face, and then she felt better, not as scared as before.
Xu Qing thought for a while about his grandfather's previous words, and looked up at his second father Xu Guangjin on the edge of the kang.
At this time, Xu Guangjin was still smoking silently. Seeing his nephew looking at him, he grinned, but said nothing.
Because he understood why the old man made such a arrangement, he didn't say it, but he knew it very well in his heart.
He didn't think anything was wrong with this.
The eldest brother is gone, and now he has four children left behind, no one has pulled him up.
Fortunately, Xu Qing's eldest nephew is older and can take care of his younger brothers and sisters. He is a second father and a farmer. He lives in the countryside and can't help much. He is not very good at farming, but not very good at everything else.
He agreed to the old man's arrangement from the bottom of his heart.
As for the old man’s money, he never thought about it. He didn’t know what others thought, but he knew what he thought.
It seemed that he had remembered something again. Xu Guangjin, who was taciturn, suddenly took out money from his body, walked to Xu Qing, and took out a relatively new dark blue "2 Yuan" money.
"Xiaoqing, take it, New Year's money!"
Seeing this, Xu Qing stood up from the chair and waved his hand:
"Second dad, there are too many of them, and I work in the factory now. I can earn money, so I don't need New Year's money."
This honest and honest farmer looked at his nephew who looked as tall as himself. The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and there seemed to be a lot of things to say in his heart, but in the end he only condensed thousands of words into two words: "Hold it!"
No matter how much Xu Qing refused, Xu Guangjin still used the thick hand that had been holding the hoe for half his life, kneading the money into a ball and stuffing it into his nephew's cotton jacket.
Then he turned around and gave the three little guys sitting on the kang a newer "2 yuan" New Year's money to each.
There were eight pieces at a time. For Xu Guangjin, he didn't know how long he had to raise his hoe to work in the ground before he could throw it out.
In previous years, he wouldn't have given them so much New Year's money.
After all, his family has to live, and the situation is not very good in the village.
But this year, he gave "2 Yuan" alone, but he still felt that the New Year's money he gave to his nephew and niece was still a little short of it.
The three little guys took the money and looked at the elder brother at the same time, but saw that the elder brother didn't say anything.
Then he said to Xu Guangjin in unison: "Thank you, second dad!"
Xu Qing can do it himself, but his second father gives New Year's money to his younger brother and sister. This is the care of the elders for their younger generations, and they can't refuse them.
The old man was smoking a cigarette and sat on the kang. He looked at his second son, and while his eyes showed satisfaction, he felt more relieved.
...........
The next morning, Xu Qing and grandma were busy cooking breakfast in the kitchen.
As long as the third little boy helped, he was stopped on the kang by his second father Xu Guangjin.
As for the stove fire, Xu Guangjin took care of the matter today. At this time, this man who didn't like to talk pushed Xu Aiguo who ran into the kitchen out.
At this time, my grandfather was sitting on the kang, leaning against the neatly stacked bedding, hugging the little girl, teasing Xu Fengming, and was telling them the interesting things that happened in the village last year. Whose second child was chased by a dog, and who fell asleep while herding cattle for the production team. As a result, the cow ran all over the mountains and cried so scared.
The little girl reached out to play with her grandfather's beard, blinked her watery little eyes, and her thoughts seemed to fly back to the village.
While listening to his grandfather’s talk about the village, Xu Fengming reached out to secretly pull out a piece of his grandfather’s beard on his chin.
The old man in pain uttered a roar and was about to get angry in an instant. He reached back and tried to grab the tobacco pole and hit it, but unexpectedly, he didn't touch it.
Realizing that he didn't get it to the city after falling at home, he just sighed and gave up.
When the old branch secretary brought the tractor driver from the production team to the yard early in the morning, Xu Qing and grandma had just finished their breakfast.
When Xu Qing saw that the old branch secretary and the others were coming, he quickly let him enter the house and poured two tea jars of tea.
Then, with grandma, second father and three little ones, they brought the meal to the front room.
After breakfast, the old branch secretary smoked and walked out of the house, and walked out of the courtyard with the tractor operator, shaking the tractor parked in the alley.
The loud and loud sounds echoed through the alley in an instant.
Xu Qing was in the backyard in the house with his grandparents and second father. While talking, he put all the pastries and other things he bought from a state-owned store yesterday and two pairs of reading glasses in net bags to take them back.
At this time, everyone in the compound heard the movement of the tractor and walked out of their houses.
Sha Zhu and Yushui supported the old lady to the door of Xu Qing's house; the second uncle and the second aunt also walked through relatives these days, and walked to the door of Xu Qing's house with Xu Damao.
Everyone and Xu Qing took the two old men out of the courtyard. As the old branch secretary waved to the tractor's hand, the tractor with black smoke took grandparents and second father out along the alley.
The others returned to the yard, while Xu Qing followed the three little ones all the way out of the alley behind the tractor.
"Xiaoqing, take your younger brother and sister back, don't send it."
The second father shouted loudly to Xu Qing in a rare voice.
Xu Qing whispered loudly: "It's okay, second dad, let's send it to you."
Seeing this, the old branch secretary asked the tractor to stop.
After asking Xu Qing and the third little boy to chat with their grandparents and second dad for a few more words.
The old branch secretary waved, "Xu Qing will take your younger brother and sister back."
The tractor driver turned on the tractor again and then continued to walk.
Xu Qing stood on the street and saw the tractor turning into a small black dot and disappearing from his sight. Then he turned around and went back to the yard.
These days, Xu Qing has been borrowing Xu Damao's bicycle. After returning to the backyard, he thanked Xu Damao again and gave him another pack of cigarettes.
No matter what, Xu Damao is really interesting in this matter!
Xu Damao was kind and unpacked the cigarette that Xu Qinggang gave him and gave it to the second uncle, Sha Zhu and Xu Qing.
The weather is good today, and a few people stood in the yard and talked about the start of construction in the factory tomorrow.
What Xu Qing is concerned about is when the assessment will be conducted after the New Year and after the factory starts construction.
He is still an apprentice now and is waiting to pass the assessment and become a regular.
Only after becoming a regular employee can his salary increase and be considered a formal worker.
Otherwise, if the factory does not have an assessment, he will have to be an apprentice for a few more months.
Xu Qing didn't mind at all when he continued to be an apprentice.
The problem is that his salary will not increase before he becomes a formal worker.
Xu Qing cared about this very much.
So, after listening to Xu Damao and the other two chatting for a while, Xu Qing couldn't help but ask:
"Second uncle, Brother Damao, Brother Sha Zhu, when will our factory usually undergo a regular assessment after the spring starts?"
Chapter completed!
