When Yan Bugui heard what Xu Qing said, he immediately felt relieved, turned to look at Xu Fengming, and said with a smile:

"Feng Ming, now you and your second brother are patriotic, and Xiaoya. You have all gone to college. In our college, you are senior intellectuals. If you have learned any good ideas in college, you have to preach them to everyone.

Preach it and let us all follow and learn.”

Xu Fengming grinned, and when the third uncle changed the subject, he stopped deliberately mentioning the electricity bill.

The third uncle is notoriously stingy, no one in the compound would know this.

He was just talking about it and didn't really think about charging the electricity bill.

Otherwise, how could Jia and Zhang just grind the beans and leave.

"Third uncle, I can't say. There is a new idea in our school. Different departments discuss different things. If I say it out, I'm afraid I won't be able to finish talking about it until New Year's Eve. What else can you do?

Come to our school when the time comes, and I will ask our teachers to communicate with you."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said: "I'll forget it. How can my little ink compare with the teachers at your university? I don't mind discussing it with others, but I'm afraid they won't appreciate it."

It's not that Yan Bugui is self-effacing, but he knows that he is no match for those university teachers. He has never studied knowledge seriously, but when it comes to how to save money, he does have a lot of experience.

It's just that Yan Bugui just talked casually, and didn't really want Xu Fengming to talk about the new trends in the university in the courtyard.

But he didn't expect that Xu Fengming would follow his words. He couldn't help but feel a thump in his heart, and then he quickly talked about other things again and asked:

"Feng Ming, I heard that in your university, there are quite a few people who go to the countryside to join the team. It seems that there are also some workers who are studying junior high school culture with you."

"Well, that's right!" Xu Fengming helped Auntie move the newly filled bucket of slurry aside, and said to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle, do you want Brother Xie Cheng to go to college too?

?"

Yan Bugui squinted his eyes and said nothing. Of course he thought, but his son Yan Jiecheng didn't want to, so what could he do?

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly said: "Feng Ming, brother, I'm not going. I'm more comfortable working in the factory, so why go to school and suffer that kind of punishment?"

Xu Fengming looked at Yan Jiecheng with a smile, speechless.

The soybeans at Yi Ma's house were soon finished grinding. Yan Bugui hurriedly poured his soybeans into the iron grinder, and then asked Yan Jiecheng to put the tin bucket brought from the front yard underneath.

Ma Jinghong came out of the house with her son in her arms, saw Yan Bugui, and asked, "Third uncle, why didn't my third aunt come over?"

"Hey, your three aunts are busy cooking in the house, and I'm the only one here with my eldest son."

Yan Jiecheng didn't want to come at all, but he had no choice. He planned to spend the Chinese New Year with Yu Li and his parents so that he could save money for his family. However, the two younger brothers Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang slipped out of the compound early in the morning. He didn't want to

Come, is it possible for Yan Jiedi to come?

Yan Jiedi was still angry with him because Yu Li said last night that she would not go to school and work, so she could consider getting married. The words were a bit harsh. She was cursing in the front yard early in the morning, but Yan Jiecheng couldn't control his sister.

.

At this time, Yan Jiecheng looked at Xiao Hongzhi in Ma Jinghong's arms, stepped forward with a cigarette in his mouth, reached out and pinched the little guy's face, teasing him.

He is also a man with children. Currently, there are only two children in the courtyard, his daughter and Xu Qing’s son.

I have just become a parent, so I don’t have any experience, but Yan Jiecheng is very familiar with holding children.

Taking Xiao Hongzhi from Jing Hong, Yan Jiecheng carried him to Xu Qing and said with a smile:

"Qingzi, as I said last time, our two families can order a baby and kiss each other. Your son has just turned one, and my daughter is about to turn one. When the time comes, we will take advantage of my daughter's first birthday to finalize this matter."

We are the in-laws."

Xu Qing smiled and said nothing. He had no intention of finding a wife for his son now.

But knowing that Yan Jiecheng was joking, Xu Qing chatted with him for a while.

But when Yan Bugui heard this, he thought seriously in his mind. If his granddaughter could arrange a baby marriage with Xu Qing's son, the relationship between his family and Xu Qing's family would be one step closer.

As for whether the two children will get together in the future, that is a matter for the future. At least for now, in the courtyard, once I get married to the Xu Qing family, no one in the courtyard will dare to talk about my family's rights and wrongs behind my back.

Yan Bugui was so absorbed that he forgot to stare at the iron bucket under the iron roller. The freshly ground slurry was almost overflowing the edge of the bucket. Fortunately, Xu Fengming had quick eyes and quick hands and quickly grabbed the empty bucket beside him and brought it to the side.

Standing in front of the small hole under the iron roller, he shouted to Yan Bugui:

"Hey, third uncle, what are you thinking about? Move the bucket away quickly, or I won't care about it."

Yan Bugui came to his senses, quickly picked up a bucket full of pulp, turned and hurried back to the front yard.

The red sun rises from the east, and the bangs urge the second aunt to also carry the soybeans soaked overnight and walk to the door of Xu Qing's house.

Xu Damao got up relatively late. When he opened the thick curtain and came out, Qin Jingru was followed behind him.

Qin Jingru walked around the courtyard several times this morning, but she didn't bring out the soybeans at home in advance.

Xu Damao didn't say anything, how dare she.

The old lady was leaning on a cane and talking to the little girl. The backyard was so lively today. The oldest and most senior ancestor in the courtyard came out to walk around after staying in the house for a long time.

The weather is still a little cold, but the sun is out and it will only get warmer.

When Silly Zhu came, the third uncle took Yan Jiecheng, and they each carried two barrels of syrup with a strong bean smell back to the front yard.

There are many people in Yan Bugui's family in the front yard, so naturally they can make more tofu.

It’s almost as big as the Jia family and the First Master’s family in Zhongyuan.

But Yan Bugui did not use water to get out the spots in the roller like Jia Zhang did.

Yan Bugui is stingy, but he doesn't bother to pretend to be poor, and he's not like Jia Zhang, who is willing to show shame, even that bit.

Yan Bugui is a face-conscious person, and he also has his own set of rules for being stingy.

Never do anything embarrassing.

The soybeans of the two families in the middle courtyard are finished grinding, and the three uncles’ houses in the front yard are finished, leaving only those who live in the backyard.

Xu Qing is not in a hurry, and lets the second uncle and Xu Damao's family take care of themselves first.

Xu Damao raised his eyelids and looked into his bangs, but said nothing.

Qin Jingru and the second aunt looked at each other and rushed to pour their own soybeans into the roller.

Xu Damao turned around and glared at Qin Jingru. Qin Jingru had no choice but to put the basin of soybeans in her hand aside and let the second uncle's family come first.

Xu Damao is very knowledgable as a person. Although he and his second uncle Liu Haizhong were unhappy, he still cursed with hatred in his heart from time to time.

But on the surface, Xu Damao really didn't break up with Liu Haizhong and the second aunt in the courtyard, and his face turned red.

That is to say, Liu Haizhong has always been worried about Xu Damao taking away his black gauze hat in the factory.

As for the brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, they didn't even dare to fart when they saw Xu Damao.

Xu Damao is a member of the factory's "G Committee" and is also the deputy director.

It was too late for Liu Guangtian to curry favor with him, so how could he dare to challenge him?

When it comes to snobbery in the courtyard, these two brothers definitely occupy the first and second place.

After all, he is so snobbish that he doesn't even care about his own parents. It can be said that no one can match him.

Of course, the reason why they are like this is also due to the second uncle’s education with sticks.

It's just that Xu Damao didn't bother to talk to them. Even if Liu Guangtian asked him to invite him for a drink, he wouldn't go.

Because in Xu Damao’s opinion, it’s just these two useless snacks, and he still wants to drink with him at the same table, is it worthy?!

Xu Damao now enjoys his role as deputy director, and secretly benefits himself from the factory.

As for inspections in the factory, Xu Damao is in the ‘G Committee’, who dares?

Furthermore, Xu Damao did everything so well that even if someone checked him behind his back, there would be no flaws.

Especially since Xu Damao and Director Li are on the same boat, if something happens to him, Director Li has to find a way to protect him.

After all, the small yellow croaker given by Xu Damao is not so easy to get.

Who is Xu Damao? Director Li cannot get rid of him easily if he wants.

If it were Liu Haizhong, Director Li would just kick him if he said so.

You don’t have to worry about anything at all.

But if Director Li dares to kick Xu Damao, he will have to stick to his body and peel off a layer of skin!

At this time, Liu Haizhong saw that he had ground the beans first, and glanced at Xu Damao. After saying a few words to Xu Qing, he turned around and walked to the second aunt, and the two of them picked up the pulp in buckets.

Xu Damao stretched out and said hello to Liu Haizhong: "Good morning, Second Uncle."

Liu Haizhong had a sullen face and did not respond.

Xu Damao didn't care about this, and cursed in his heart, the old man doesn't know how to praise!

But his face didn’t show any dissatisfaction.

He has the proper etiquette that he should have. As for what happens to his bangs, that is his own business. Don’t worry about it. People in the courtyard will see it and they will make judgments.

Xu Damao is such a shrewd person that he won’t be afraid of even one of his ten bangs.

"Qingzi, how many soybeans did your family soak last night?"
