Chapter 31 The three stewards are going to cause trouble

 Xu Qing was a little confused by Xu Damao's words.

But I instantly realized in my heart that the "warning" Xu Damao said was definitely not a good thing.

But Xu Qing couldn't guess what was going on, so he greeted Xu Damao:

"Brother Damao, come, let's eat together and chat while we eat."

Xu Damao waved his hand and said: "I have eaten the meal, you can eat yours."

While talking, Xu Damao walked to the edge of the kang and sat on the edge. He saw the pickles in the bowl and seemed to think it was good. He reached out and picked up a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of pickles, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and took a puff of cigarette.

.

Xu Damao has made a lot of money following Xu Qing in the past two days. He got fifteen yuan just for the bicycle ticket.

I rarely open a fire in the house. I spend a few cents outside every day to buy some sesame cakes, burnt rings, braised pork, stir-fried liver or other things to eat. I live my life as comfortably as I can, cooking.

Of course it's impossible.

After all, Xu Damao is not like Silly Zhu. He is not good at cooking and doesn’t like saving money.

Silly Zhu is just the opposite. He learned art very early and now works as a cook in the factory cafeteria and cooks Tan's dishes quite well. At the same time, Silly Zhu is obsessed with saving up enough money for his wife and strives to get married as soon as possible.

A daughter-in-law.

At this time, Xu Damao was chewing the pickles made by Xu Qing, smashed them in his mouth, and felt that the taste was very good. He couldn't help but pick up a chopstick, and then said slowly:

"Qingzi, do you still remember what happened to Aunt Jia in our hospital earlier today?"

Xu Qing hummed.

Xu Damao continued: "Didn't you leave early? Later, the first uncle, the second uncle, and the third uncle, the three of them put it together and said that the Jia family is in difficulty now, so that from now on, the big guys in our compound will pay for their stay every month.

Each household contributes two cents to provide relief to the Jia family."

When Xu Qing heard this, he roughly understood what was going on.

I bet these three stewards in the courtyard are going to cause trouble!

The three little ones seemed to understand what they were hearing, and they all ate quietly aside. They were well-educated, and their eldest brother and Xu Damao were talking about things, so naturally they would not interrupt casually.

Xu Qing put down the chopsticks in his hand and said, "Brother Damao, what do the other people in our courtyard mean?"

Xu Damao puffed on the smoke and said: "What else can I mean? Let's vote by a show of hands!"

"Aunt Jia shakes briquettes. She is so greedy that no one is willing to hire her. Now, who is willing to give her money for relief?" Xu Damao put the cigarette butt between his middle finger and thumb, flicked it toward the stove, and continued: "

After a show of hands, no one agreed except Silly Zhu. Aunt Jia made a fuss for a while, and the three uncles went door to door to lobby everyone.

I went to the middle courtyard just now and saw the first, second, and third uncles preparing to come to the backyard. Brother, I will come over and tell you, please be careful, there is no way I will give it to you!"

Xu Qing was silent for a moment and said nothing. He grabbed his chopsticks and continued to eat dinner.

But I know in my heart that the three stewards in the courtyard can really do this.

After all, none of these three are good at each other!

Coupled with the fact that Mr. Jia and Zhang were acrimonious and difficult to provoke, they naturally did not dare to sit idly by and watch.

But according to Jia Zhang, if Jia Zhang shakes briquettes once, he will have to pay two yuan for two hundred pieces of coal, and they are unwilling.

If they don't comply, Jia and Zhang will definitely continue to make trouble.

Seeing that the Chinese New Year is approaching soon, who can bear this?

But it’s a shame that they came up with such an idea and asked everyone in the courtyard to work together to provide relief to the Jia family.

After Xu Qing thought for a while, he and Xu Damao stopped talking about this matter, but chatted about other things.

After Xu Damao sat for a while, he reached out and patted the mud on his trouser legs. He stood up, slipped the thick clothes draped over his shoulders with his right hand, and left.

Xu Qing and the third child continued to eat, but as soon as they finished eating, they heard the first uncle, second uncle, third uncle, and Xu Damao quarreling in the courtyard outside the house.

The sound was so loud that even Xu Qing could hear it clearly in the room.

Of course, Xu Qing also knew what happened.

After Xu Qing put away the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, he turned around and came out, walked outside the house and took a look.

I saw the first uncle Yi Zhonghai, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui. They surrounded Xu Damao and tried to persuade him at the door of Xu Damao's house.

The intention is naturally to get Xu Damao to cough up two cents.

However, Xu Damao naturally refused and said sternly to the three of them:

"I earned all the money myself, why should I give it to the Jia family? Their family is having a hard time, but my life is better?!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Da Mao, you are the only one in your family. Your parents have moved out. Is your life more difficult than the Jia family?"

"Of course it is difficult." Xu Damao said loudly: "Jia Dongxu is married, but I am still alone now."

Yan Bugui evaded the important and said lightly: "Xu Damao, don't you have a bicycle? You can afford a bicycle, so what's so difficult about your life?"

"Third uncle, don't stand and talk without hurting your back. My dad bought me this bike, and I didn't pay for it. It's useless for you to talk about it!"

Xu Qing saw Xu Damao and the three stewards arguing constantly and the snow in the courtyard kept falling, so he turned around and went back to the house.

Xu Damao refused to give 20 cents. Xu Qing knew that it was not that he had no money, but that he simply did not want to give it. After all, who would be willing to give his own money to others for no reason?

Even if it is to rescue the Jia family, it is really too much to chase people at their door and ask for money!

After a while, no sound could be heard outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, Xu Qing heard Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui, and Liu Haizhong knocking on his door.

I saw Xu Qing and his three younger siblings in the house.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui walked in while patting the snow on their bodies.

There was a polite exchange of greetings at first, and then the three of them sat in Xu Qing's room without saying a word for a while.

Everyone was smoking, you looked at me, I looked at you, but no one spoke first.

Xu Qing didn't ask why they came here. He picked up the kettle, poured three teacups of hot water, and placed it in front of them.

Yan Bugui coughed and looked at Liu Haizhong, who snorted and turned to look at Yi Zhonghai.

Seeing that Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong were refusing to speak first, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to speak on his own.

"Xu Qing, you have also seen what happened in the Intermediate Court today. The Jia family in our compound is having a hard time. The second uncle and the third uncle, I and I discussed it and decided that starting from this month, we will

Each household in the hospital is given 20 cents of relief to the Jia family every month."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, Liu Haizhong followed closely: "Xu Qing, there is no man in the Jia family now, so we rely on Qin Huairu. You can see how they live. We do this for the sake of unity in our compound."

."

When Yan Bugui heard Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong speak, he stretched out his hand to hold the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said:

"Yes, the first and second uncles are right. Xu Qing, as a member of our compound, if other people in the compound are in trouble, shouldn't you help them?"
