Xu Qing smiled and said no more.

Naturally, he can handle this kind of thing by himself.

Is it possible that the target, Ma Jinghong, is really allowed to complain to the leader of their group?

If that's the case, Xu Qing doesn't feel embarrassed, but he is just worried about the impact on Jinghong's work in the group in the future.

Of course, that is a solution, but since Cao Xiaojun wants to challenge him, Xu Qing will not give in!

Moreover, Xu Qing has never experienced this before for the woman he likes.

"Don't worry, it'll be fine."

At the entrance of the alley, Xu Qing reached out and patted Ma Jiefang on the shoulder, then took out one of the three yuanxiao portions in his net bag and handed it to Ma Jiefang to take it home and eat it.

He himself carried the other two copies in his net bag, separated from Ma Jiefang, and headed towards his master, Lao Zhang's house.

Due to the delay on the road and the incident at the dead end, the sky was already dark when Xu Qing arrived at Master Zhang's house.

Night slowly covers Sijiu City, indicating that the day is coming to an end.

Xu Qing called Master in the courtyard before pushing the door open and going in.

On the kang in the front room, Zhang Zhenlian and her sisters were collecting shoe soles.

During the New Year celebrations some time ago, some of Master Lao Zhang’s daughters returned to their parents’ homes early to celebrate the New Year, while others came recently.

Xu Qing only entered the factory class in the second half of last year and learned art from his master, Lao Zhang. Therefore, he only met Zhang Zhenlian several times last year, and he didn't meet the rest of the people at all.

After all, it is rare for a married girl to have time to return to her parents’ home.

Xu Qing didn't recognize him, but he was very smart. Today, the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, except for the master's children and relatives, all those who were at the master's house had already left.

So Xu Qing called "sister" to the people on the kang.

Seeing Xu Qing coming, Zhang Zhenlian hurriedly put down the shoe soles in her hands, grinned with her dimples exposed, slipped off the kang with a happy face, turned to the kitchen and shouted:

"Dad, Mom, Brother Qingzi is here."

Lao Zhang stood in the kitchen, helping his old lady cook Yuanxiao. Hearing this, he stuck his head out of the kitchen with an iron spoon in his hand, chewed the cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and said to Xu Qing:

"You brat, I thought you weren't coming today. Wait, Master and your wife will cook the first pot of Yuanxiao right away. Don't sneak away, brat!"

Xu Qing chuckled, took out a portion of Yuanxiao from his net pocket, and handed it to Zhang Zhenlian's hand

"Thank you, Brother Qingzi."

Zhang Zhenlian took the Lantern Festival and turned to Xu Qing to introduce the sisters sitting on the Kang.

"Brother Qingzi, these are my eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, and fifth sister."

"My third sister went back to her house a few days ago, so you can't see her today."

Zhang Zhenlian finished speaking with a smile, took the Lantern Festival into the kitchen, and when she turned around and came out, she brought a tea vat of hot tea to Xu Qing.

Xu Qing thanked Zhang Zhenlian and prepared to leave.

As a result, Zhang Zhenlian's four sisters, seeing someone coming into the house, all got off the kang and walked towards Xu Qing.

"Lian'er, this is our dad's new apprentice last year. He's so handsome!"

Xu Qing was surrounded by his master Lao Zhang's four daughters and looked at him, and his face turned red instantly.

There is no way, with four pairs of eyes staring back and forth on the body, no one can avoid blushing.

Zhang Zhenlian hurriedly helped Xu Qing out of the siege, "Eldest sister, second sister, fourth sister, fifth sister, please don't do this, you will make Brother Qingzi very embarrassed."

At this time, Lao Zhang came out of the kitchen with the pot in both hands, placed it on the stove in the front room, and sent his daughter Zhang Zhenlian to get the dishes and chopsticks quickly.

Seeing this, Xu Qing hurriedly said: "Master, I will go back first. My brothers and sisters are still waiting for me at home."

Lao Zhang turned around and grabbed Xu Qing's arm firmly with his right hand, which was like a pliers, for fear of running away.

"You brat, why are you so anxious? Let's eat the Lantern Festival before we talk. It only takes a few minutes, it doesn't matter!"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Xu Qing had no choice but to eat Lantern Festival at Master's house before leaving.

At this moment, Zhang Zhenlian came out of the kitchen with a pile of bowls and chopsticks. Among her four sisters, one scooped out Yuanxiao with a spoon, and the other took it with a bowl.

Zhang Zhenlian took two bowls and handed them to Lao Zhang and Xu Qing.

Xu Qing saw the pot full of Yuanxiao, and in the blink of an eye, they were all gone.

Suddenly I felt secretly in my heart that it was not easy for Master to raise several daughters.

Fortunately, I only have three younger brothers and sisters in my house. Otherwise, as the eldest brother, I might be in trouble in the future.

Three times five times two times, Xu Qing finished the Lantern Festival, took the bowls and chopsticks into the kitchen, and then said goodbye to his master, his wife, and Zhang Zhenlian.

Lao Zhang did not stop him this time and stood up to send Xu Qing away.

"You brat, be careful on the road, it's dark now."

Xu Qing hummed and said: 'Master, you go back to the house and rest, I'm leaving.'

After saying that, Xu Qing picked up the net bag in his hand and hurried back to his courtyard.

At this moment, stars were twinkling in the night sky. With the help of the starlight, Xu Qing walked out of the alley and walked quickly along the street.

When they returned to their own room, the three little ones had already heated up the steamed buns in a pot on the kitchen stove.

Xu Aiguo is holding a kitchen knife and standing in front of the chopping board, imitating his elder brother's example and cutting vegetables very unskilledly.

Xu Fengming and the little girl were squatting in front of the stove, lighting the fire and eating walnuts together.

When the little girl saw her elder brother coming back with Yuanxiao, she immediately stood up, her little face showed joy, and she threw herself in front of Xu Qing.

"Brother, can I cook Yuanxiao for us later?"

"Okay!"

Xu Qing stretched out his hand and pinched the little girl's nose, washed his hands and took out the steamed buns from the pot.

With a happy look on her face, Xu Xiaoya stood by the stove, carefully poured the dumplings poured into the boiling water along the edge of the large enamel bowl into the boiling water.

Xu Qing handed her the spoon, and the little girl immediately started stirring with the spoon in a decent manner.

Xu Fengming stopped eating walnuts, put the remaining piece into his pocket, turned around and ran to the cupboard, picking up the bowls and chopsticks.

Seven or eight minutes later, the Yuanxiao was cooked. The little girl was very stylish. She held the spoon and helped her eldest brother, second brother, third brother, and herself, scooping seven of them evenly into each bowl.

Xu Qing actually planned to buy more, but the amount of tickets he bought was limited. In addition, he gave Ma Jiefang and Master's family one piece each.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!

Therefore, there is not much left.

Master Lao Zhang must give it!

It would be impossible if Ma Jiefang's family didn't give him some. Last year, Ma Jiefang brought him some noodles.

Whether it was his fifth sister's idea, or his own or his parents' idea, Xu Qing always remembered this affection.

Furthermore, Xu Qing and Ma Jinghong are still dating, so they should express their feelings to some extent.

At this time, in front of the stove, Xu Fengming picked up a Yuanxiao with chopsticks before taking the bowl out of the kitchen, and swallowed it in one gulp, regardless of burning his mouth.

When the little girl saw that the third brother had eaten one Yuanxiao so quickly, she immediately took seven of them in her bowl and showed off proudly.

"Third brother, hehe, I still have seven more."

Xu Fengming pursed his lips and looked down at the remaining six in his bowl, reluctant to eat any more.

Xu Qing used chopsticks to pick one out of his own bowl for the little guy.

The little girl pouted and stopped: "Brother, it's not fair. Each of us has seven. I've counted them. If you give me three, you'll eat less."

Xu Qing smiled, put the Yuanxiao on the chopsticks into the little guy's bowl, and then gave another one to the little girl and Xu Aiguo.

"Brother, I don't like to eat, you guys eat more."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, the little girl held the bowl thoughtfully and followed her second brother Xu Aiguo to the front room to eat.

.......

In the early morning, when Xu Qing came out of the compound, he went to work with Shazhu and Qin Huairu again.

At this time last year, the sky was still dark, but now it is bright and clear.

The chill is not as bad as last year. Xu Qing doesn’t feel cold. When he came out of the room just now, he didn’t wear a scarf.

Silly Zhu is the same as him, but Qin Huairu still wears it.

It's not snowing or raining now, and the bright sky does not obstruct the view. The cyclists on the street are pedaling their bikes very fast, whizzing past them, and the wind they bring is actually holding them back.

A burst of coldness made Qin Huairu sneeze inexplicably.

When he got off work at noon, Xu Qing met the boy who was stuck in a dead end by him and Ma Jiefang yesterday outside the factory gate.

"I came here with a message. Feng Tuzi and Cao Xiaojun told them that they will wait for you under the overpass at the head of the Stone Lion Bridge in the afternoon."

The swelling on the man's face had not gone away. When he saw Ma Jiefang, he subconsciously turned the front of the bicycle, raised his leg to cross the crossbar, and said to Xu Qing:

"Cao Xiaojun said that he will challenge you to a duel when the time comes!"

After the man finished speaking, he ignored the expressions on Xu Qing and Ma Jiefang's faces and staggered away on his bicycle.

Ma Jiefang spat on the ground, turned to look at Xu Qing and said:

"Brother Qingzi, let's not go there this afternoon. I think Cao Xiaojun's gang of grandsons are not serious people. They might be playing dirty tricks again!"

Xu Qing looked at the man's leaving figure and did not immediately respond to Ma Jiefang's words.

Seeing that the man turned into a black dot and disappeared into the crowd, Xu Qing withdrew his gaze and said:

"It doesn't matter. Since Cao Xiaojun dares to challenge me to a duel, if he is playing dirty tricks, then it proves that he is not a man. Why don't we go and take a look."

Ma Jiefang smoked a cigarette, frowned, thought for a while, and opened his mouth to say something else, but seeing that Xu Qing had already decided to leave, he finally stopped speaking.
