Even though I drank, I was not drunk at all.

After being promoted, my salary has been increased by two yuan, and my family's life will be better in the future.

Xu Qing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he remembered that Er Mazi had been drinking before and insisted on giving him a dollar even after his salary was paid.

When he first joined the factory, Xu Qing's salary was lower than Er Mazi's. After becoming a full-time employee, it was equal to that of Er Mazi's, and now it has surpassed Er Mazi's.

Er Mazi has some small emotions in his heart, Xu Qing can understand.

After all, we are co-workers who have been working together in the same workshop for almost a year.

Putting himself in Er Mazi's shoes, Xu Qing didn't dare to say that he had no emotions at all.

As for Er Mazi's drunken words, Xu Qing didn't take it to heart.

If you are drunk, how can you take it seriously?

........

The three little ones were already sleepy, but the eldest brother was happy, so they cheered up and stayed with him.

Tomorrow is the weekend and the little ones don’t have to get up early to go to school, so it’s okay to go to bed late.

In addition, it is now May and the weather is getting hotter day by day. It is quite cool to sit in the courtyard and enjoy the evening breeze.

At the same time, the faint sound of insects could be heard from the corner of the courtyard.

Xu Fengming sat quietly for ten minutes, then he couldn't sit still anymore and yawned again and again. But he wanted to stay with his elder brother in the courtyard for a while, so he turned around and ran into the house, took out the flashlight, and walked to the wall of the courtyard.

, get ready to catch those chirping crickets.

But he held the flashlight and as soon as he walked over, the crickets were so frightened that they stopped screaming.

There was a moment of silence in the backyard.

The little girl didn't go over to join in the fun. She leaned her little head against Xu Qing's body, still holding her chin with her hands, looking at the moon in the night sky in ecstasy.

Xu Aiguo, like the little girl, sat on Xu Qing's left hand side, looked up at the bright moon, and silently recited the ancient poems related to the bright moon that he had learned in his heart.

Half an hour later, Xu Qing got up, took the little girl and his second brother back into the house with the bench, and at the same time called his third brother, who was still squatting in front of the wall, to go back to the house.

The little guy caught two crickets, held them in his hand, ran into the house with a happy face, found an empty wine bottle, put it in, and poked a few holes in the bottle cap with a needle in the sole of his shoe.

Place it on the table.

After Xu Qing turned off the lights, the room was dark, and the crickets in the bottle began to chirp again.

Xu Qing felt annoyed. The little girl and Xu Aiguo, like Xu Fengming, pillowed their heads on pillows, closed their eyes, and fell asleep listening to the crisp chirping of insects.

Some time ago, the little girl brought spring into the house with apricot flowers.

Tonight, Xu Fengming put summer in a bottle in advance and brought it into the house.

Xu Qing was lying flat on the kang, thinking of his younger brothers and sisters' innocence, brilliance and childishness, and couldn't help but sigh to himself, they are the only ones who can grasp the four seasons.

As for me, I am busy with work and making money to support my family, and I have almost no time to take into account the changes in spring, summer, autumn and winter.

Every month, only when wages are paid, do I suddenly think, oh, the month is over so quickly.

Accompanied by the sound of insects, Xu Qing fell asleep unconsciously.

When Xu Qing woke up in the morning, he turned around and saw the three little ones beside him, still immersed in their sweet sleep, so he didn't disturb them.

After getting dressed, I tiptoed off the kang. I looked at the empty wine bottle on the table and found the two crickets lying limply at the bottom of the bottle. I don't know if they were tired from screaming for a long time or fell asleep at dawn.<

/p>

Xu Qing did not touch the bottle, walked outside the house, stretched, looked at the early dawn, and suddenly felt that the days were getting more and more promising.

At around eight o'clock, after Xu Qing and his younger brothers and sisters had breakfast, they put the clothes that needed to be washed into the wash basin and sat in the courtyard to wash them with the little girl.

The weather is sunny and cloudless.

Not only Xu Qing was washing clothes, but the second aunt also brought the wash basin out of the house and sat in the yard to wash clothes.

While Xu Aiguo helped change the water, he wrung out the washed clothes and Xu Fengming and hung them on the clothesline.

When Xu Damao walked out of his house with his hair pressed into a chicken nest, Xu Fengming was already holding a piece of weed and fighting crickets with Silly Zhu in the yard.

At this moment, the time is already past 11 noon.

The little girl and Xu Aiguo stood beside Xu Fengming, cheering and cheering.

The two boys Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu from the second uncle's house couldn't bear it after watching it for a long time, so they went out to catch crickets with their sticks from the courtyard.

Xu Damao held a cigarette in his mouth, stretched out his hand to comb his hair twice, and came closer. When he saw Sha Zhu looking like he was sure of winning, he suddenly became angry.

Last night while drinking, Xu Damao quarreled with Silly Zhu, and Silly Zhu drank an unknown amount of wine. He slept all night, and now he still has a headache.

Xu Damao sat aside, cheered Xu Fengming a few times, then reached out and took out a bag of large front doors, slapped the ground, placed it on the long table in the courtyard and said:

"Silly Zhu, if you dare to come and bring the lottery, I'll win over Feng Ming. If your little cricket loses, I'll give you a pack of big Qianmen."

Silly Zhu raised his eyelids, glanced at Xu Damao, and immediately said with a smile: "Xu Damao, you have to give me cigarettes. If you lose, don't tell me to take advantage of you."
