Ma Jinghong had never been to the front yard before, not even the old lady.

The old lady is getting older, her body and bones are getting worse year by year, her legs and feet are getting worse and worse, and she needs help when walking with crutches. In addition, she suffered a cold and stroke last winter.

I spend most of the day alone in the house.

Jinghong is busy making dinner for her man in the kitchen.

Xu Qing finally returned home and no longer had to go to school for further studies.

She and her sister-in-law started making meals at three o'clock in the afternoon.

But just now, Xu Qing came back and the kitchen couldn't live without people, so she asked Xiaoya to go to the front yard to pick up his brother and take him home.

As for her, of course she misses Xu Qing more.

However, when night comes, Xu Qing belongs to her alone, so there is no need to rush.

She is not ignorant.

Although she only has a high school education, among the women in the compound, apart from her sister-in-law, she has the highest academic level.

Speaking of the people who have been married in the courtyard over the years, Yan Jiecheng’s wife Yu Li from the front courtyard has a junior high school education, and she still went to night school for further studies, which was not easy to obtain.

Although Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang are also married, their daughters-in-law are similar in education to Yu Li.

However, Yan Jiefang and Yan Jiekuang did not live in the compound, but chose to move out and only come back occasionally.

Unless it’s a holiday or when money is tight, I almost never come back.

There was nothing he could do, Yan Jiecheng couldn't get along with his two younger brothers, and Yu Li couldn't talk to her two younger brothers and sisters, and they would quarrel every now and then.

Yan Bugui and the third aunt were caught in the middle, in a dilemma.

The courtyard also held countless courtyard meetings because of the incident in their front yard.

As a result, Yan Jiecheng and Yu Li, relying on their own efforts, made the compound unable to live in peace for half a year.

Yan Jiekuang and his wife Yan Jiekuang were forced to stay in the front yard.

But there was only Qin Huairu in the middle school. The eldest father and the eldest mother had no children. Sha Zhu was studying in college. She wanted to wait for Sha Zhu to come back and renew their relationship, so she followed Yu Li and they went to night school together.

The educational level is only junior high school level.

In the backyard, after Qin Jingru married Xu Damao, she only planned to enjoy the happiness and never thought about going to night school.

Although Qin Huairu had tried to persuade her, Qin Jingru just said, "Sister, Damao is now the deputy director of your factory. Why should I bother with that? It's not like you don't know that I've had a headache since I was a kid.

”

Liu Guangtian, who got married three years ago, has the same cultural background as Qin Jingru.

But Liu Guangtian spends his whole day thinking about how to give gifts to others so that he can get rich quickly and how can he have the money to send his wife to night school?

What's more, Liu Haizhong and the second aunt have always wanted the married Liu Guangtian to move out as soon as possible and stop hanging around under their noses all day long.

It's just that Liu Guangtian and his wife live and die in the backyard and refuse to move, and they still live in the backyard.

I built a room by myself next to Liu Haizhong's house. On weekdays, I take my wife to my parents' house to eat and drink, and I don't cook alone.

Angry with bangs, he frowned all day long.

Liu Guangtian is not married yet, but he is getting married soon. Like Aiguo and Feng Ming, he has already dated someone.

Therefore, there is really no one who marries into the compound today who is as educated as Ma Jinghong.

At this time, Ma Jinghong was cooking vegetables and staring at the fire on the stove. At the same time, she was also paying attention to the chicken soup.

Xu Xiaoya went to the front yard. She seemed a little too busy by herself.

When Xiaoya followed her second brother Patriot and helped her eldest brother Xu Qing bring the luggage into the house and put it on the kang, she quickly rolled up her sleeves, washed her hands, and hurried into the kitchen to help.

Xu Qing returned home, sat on the kang, looked at his diligent sister, and suddenly smiled in his heart.

It’s better to be at home, more comfortable and comfortable.

Especially my younger brothers and sisters, they are all here!

When Xu Fengming came back from the factory in a hurry on his bicycle, Xiao Ya was making dinner with Jing Hong.

After working for several hours, a large table of sumptuous meals was served, and Xu Hongzhi was so greedy that his mouth watered.

Xu Xiaoya reached out and touched the little guy's head and said, "Hurry up and get some water for your dad. If you don't wash your hands clean later, I won't allow you to eat it."

Xu Hongzhi nodded hurriedly, turned around, rushed into the kitchen, grabbed the ladle in the water urn with both hands, scooped up a full ladle of water, carefully carried it to the front room, poured it into the washbasin, turned his head and grinned.

Mouth:

"Dad, wash your hands."

Xu Qing saw that his son had been obedient in the past three years and had not become too naughty as expected, so he walked over and took him to wash his hands together.

Although Xiao Hongzhi rarely got beaten by Xu Qing in the past three years, Ma Jinghong didn't get used to it when he became naughty.

The little guy washed his hands and didn't rush to the kang. Instead, he ran into the kitchen and took the initiative to take out the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard.

Xu Fengming wiped his hands with a towel and said quietly to his little nephew, "Troublemaker, why are you so sensible today? Did you see any good comic books again and want your dad and my eldest brother to buy them for you?"

The little guy pursed his lips, and while placing the bowls and chopsticks, he said:

"No, I want you, Uncle San, to buy it for me."

Xu Fengming immediately shook his head and sighed, hey, you shouldn't ask too many questions.

My nephew is even more ghostly than when he was little.

This time it is inevitable to lose money again.

The whole family sat in the house and had dinner lively, very happy.

Of course, the happiest person is Xu Hongzhi. Today, the food at home is in time for the Chinese New Year, including chicken, duck, and fish. The little guy’s mouth is full of oil, how can he not be happy?

At the same time, in Yi Zhonghai's room in the Central Courtyard, Auntie also cooked a sumptuous meal for Si Zhu.

The two of them have been looking forward to Shazhu's return and hope that he will provide for him until the end of his life.

Of course you have to be nice to Silly Pillar.

No matter what the reason was, at least as soon as Si Zhu came back to the courtyard, he had a hot meal without having to do anything himself.

In fact, before Xu Qing returned to the compound, he told Sha Zhu that he would have dinner at his house in the evening.

However, when Silly Zhu saw his eldest mother cooking for him, he didn’t go to the backyard and simply ate at his uncle’s house.

It was around seven o'clock in the evening, and it was still bright. Everyone in the courtyard had dinner, walked out of the house, and went to the backyard to enjoy the cool air while continuing to chat with Xu Qing.

A mat was laid out in the courtyard, and everyone sat on it, surrounding Xu Qing and Silly Zhu, asking all kinds of questions.

It's just that Xu Qing didn't say much. Instead, Silly Zhu was holding a cigarette in his mouth, and his mouth didn't have any time for a minute.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong felt that Shazhu was too poor and were very dissatisfied.

But it’s hard to say it, so let him stop talking.

In any case, Shazhu followed Xu Qing to college, and it wouldn't take long for him to be promoted. They could only listen to him patiently before taking the opportunity to ask Xu Qing.

"Xiao Qing, you said that our domestic situation is about to change drastically. Do you think my son Jie Cheng will still have a chance to work in the factory?"

However, before Xu Qing could answer the third uncle’s words, Silly Zhu, who was chattering loudly, said first:

"Third uncle, just give up and just behave like that, in my opinion, there is no chance!"

Yan Bugui stopped shaking the cattail leaf fan in his hand, feeling a little unhappy, with a hint of dissatisfaction on his face.

I don’t know whether he thinks that Sha Zhu said that his eldest son has no future, or because Sha Zhu is talking too much.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, Xu Qing did not rush to answer the third uncle, but began to think secretly.

This year is 1976, and the changes are coming to an end. Just like a drama, it’s time to draw down the curtain.

Everything will gradually return to normal.

Thinking of this, Xu Qing smiled and said:

"Third uncle, the situation is changing now. I really can't say. It's possible that Brother Cheng will be promoted, but it's not necessarily true. No matter how it changes, it will ultimately depend on the factory's will."

After Xu Qing finished speaking, he was going to ask Xu Damao what was going on in the factory recently.

After all, Xu Damao has been the deputy director in the factory and is well-informed.

In this regard, Xu Qing knew that it would be useful to ask no one but him.

But Xu Damao was not here at the moment, and Xu Qing returned to the compound from school. He never saw him, so he asked Qin Jingru:

"What have you been doing, Brother Damao, and you haven't come back yet?"

Qin Jingru sat next to Qin Huairu, chewing melon seeds and said:

"Who knows, he has been coming back in the middle of the night every day recently, and who knows which vixen he is looking for."

Xu Qing saw that Qin Jingru couldn't get anything out of the question, so he didn't ask any more questions.
