Chapter 40: No oil or salt

 If we want to say that the evil spirit in the courtyard is none other than Jia Zhang.

Her greatest advantage is that she will never give up until she reaches her goal!

It doesn’t matter who you are, as long as you don’t obey her wishes, she will think of ways to make you angry.

It’s not just a day or two days, but a week or two weeks, or even a month or two months. You have to calculate one, two or three.

Her sarcastic, arrogant and carefree character made her second only to the deaf old lady in the courtyard. No one dared to offend her, nor did she want to offend her.

If things go wrong for her, no one in the compound will be able to live in peace!

Not long after, Xu Qing heard the quarrel between Jia Zhang and Yan Bugui coming from the front yard.

Apparently, after Ms. Jia Zhang didn't get any advantage from Liu Haizhong, she planned to ask everyone in the compound today to find someone to help clear the snow from their roof.

It's just that Yan Bugui is smarter than Liu Haizhong, so he is not willing to let his children climb the ladder and clear the snow on the roof of Jia's house at night.

But the problem is that Jia and Zhang have to sweep the snow off the roof tonight, and they can't wait for a moment.

For a moment, everyone in the courtyard could hear that Jia Zhang and Yan Bugui were arguing, and they all looked out into the front yard from the house.

After Xu Qing finished washing the dishes in the kitchen, he opened the door and came out of the house. He saw Xu Damao, with bangs in his hair, already walking towards the front yard. He tightened his cotton-padded jacket and breathed a sigh of relief, but did not follow him to the front yard.

.

Mainly because of what happened today, Xu Qing was very angry and didn't want to talk to Jia Zhang.

So, after smoking a cigarette outside the house, Xu Qing turned around and went back inside.

There are still a lot of things to do in the house. These days, the three little ones have never had time to wash their clothes. They have been busy all day, so there is nothing to do now.

Xu Qing put the clothes that the three little ones needed to change into the large wooden washtub, lifted the kettle on the stove, poured half a pot of hot water, and then mixed some cold water, sat on the bench, and gave the three little ones

Wash the clothes.

Without his parents, Xu Qing had to take over all the affairs of the three little ones. He could do what he could, but what he couldn't do. For things like sewing clothes, Xu Qing could only ask the first, second, and third aunts in the courtyard for help.

When it comes to needlework, men are always not as clever as women.

Sometimes when He Yuyu came to the house, Xu Qing would ask her to help sew Xu Fengming's clothes.

There is no way, the three little ones all have different personalities.

The little girl is a girl, the quietest and most thoughtful; the second brother Xu Aiguo is sensible, strong-tempered, and serious about work. Despite his young age, he will take the initiative to help his elder brother Xu Qing in many things; the third brother Xu Fengming is the naughty

, although he is older than the little girl, he is still a boy and likes to go wild and have fun everywhere.

However, compared to the Jia family's awesomeness, they are much more restrained. At least they listen to Xu Qing's words. They were also very obedient when their parents were around.

Bangge is a completely naughty kid. He has to do whatever he is not allowed to do. This completely follows the Jia Zhang family. Perhaps it is because he has been spoiled by the Jia Zhang family since he was a child. Qin Huairu does not agree with anything he says.

Take it to heart.

Every now and then, he would go to Shazhu's house to steal Shazhu's eggs. Qin Huairu scolded him several times but refused to listen. With Jia Zhang's support behind him, he not only stole all the eggs in Shazhu's house without saying anything, but also

Even the peanuts that Silly Zhu had hidden were served in one pot.

The angry Sha Zhu wanted to teach him a lesson, but there was Jia Zhang in the courtyard, so it was hard for Sha Zhu to hit him, so he could only give up and consider himself unlucky.

After all, everyone in the courtyard knows that Jia Zhang protects the calf.

If Silly Zhu gets into trouble, Jia Zhang will have to risk his life with him!

Therefore, this is why Silly Zhu always likes to tease the three little ones of Xu Qing’s family. This is the reason. Even Xu Fengming is very naughty, but he never said that he would sneak in and stir up fun when no one was in Silly Zhu’s house.

.

At this moment, Xu Qing used soap (soap) to wash San Xiaozhi's clothes twice on the washboard.

The second brother Xu Aiguo took the initiative to help wring out all the clothes, and then he and Xu Fengming carried the wash basin and poured the dirty water into the yard outside the house.

Then he picked up the kettle on the stove, poured water again, and helped his eldest brother Xu Qing rinse his clothes.

Xu Qing sat on the bench, rinsing it with water while telling the three little ones to remember to study hard after school tomorrow. It's the last week and they have to do well in the exam. Don't celebrate the New Year and come back with nothing.

The three little ones nodded their heads, indicating that they would definitely not get zero points.

Xu Qing wrung out the clothes and patriotism again, reached out and took the clothes hanger twisted with wire from the little girl, dried them one by one, took them to the yard outside the house, and hung them on the clothesline.

Meanwhile, in the front yard.

Mrs. Jia and Zhang shamelessly grabbed Yan Bugui's arm, forcing Yan Bugui to arrange for someone to clear the snow from her roof.

Yan Bugui felt angry and tried to shake his hand several times, but couldn't break free. He looked at Mr. Jia Zhang through the glasses on the bridge of his nose and sighed:

"Aunt Jia, how are you going to sweep the snow off your roof this late at night? You have to wait until tomorrow, right?"

As a teacher, Yan Bugui naturally likes to convince people with reason and speak great principles.

However, for Jia and Zhang, these are undoubtedly deaf ears.

No matter how much Jia Zhang cares about that, she is not a reasonable person at all. She pulled Yan Bugui's arm tightly and said:

"Third uncle, you are the best person in the courtyard. There is no snow on other people's roofs, but there is no one to help sweep my roof. You are the most educated person in our courtyard. You have to help me think of a way. Hurry up.

Get rid of the snow."

Yan Bugui's face turned gloomy, and he felt unspeakably irritable.

In the afternoon, Yan Bugui heard about the fact that Xu Qing did not let his two younger brothers help clear snow from the Jia family's roof.

Knowing that it was Jia Zhang who made Xu Qing angry by talking nonsense again, he had no choice but to come looking for him now.

Although Yan Bugui felt a little relieved because of the high hat given by Jia Zhang, how could he clear the snow so late at night?

It's easy to talk during the day, but it's different at night.

What if something happens and trouble occurs, how will it end?

The third aunt was also trying her best to persuade Jia and Zhang, talking endlessly with metaphors.

It's a pity that even though the three aunts said they were done, Mrs. Jia and Zhang still refused to give in. They had to sweep the snow off the roof of her house tonight.

Liu Haizhonghe, the second uncle who walked from the backyard to the front yard, and Yi Zhonghai, the first uncle who came from the middle courtyard after hearing the news, and the aunt also tried to persuade him, but to no avail.

When Yan Jiecheng saw that Jia and Zhang were not getting enough food and salt, he became angry and started to break up with Jia and Zhang.

Although Yan Jiecheng is about the same age as Xu Qing, his temper is not as good as Xu Qing's. Sometimes he gets irritable and even dares to talk back and confront Yan Bugui!

However, Jia Zhang turned his head, his face turned dark, and he caught Yan Jiecheng and scolded him.

"You kid, you're not very young and have a bad temper. If I talk to your parents about something, it's your turn to talk!"

Yan Jiecheng glared at Mrs. Jia Zhang angrily, scratched his neck, and reached out to grab the feather duster on the kang.

When Xu Damao saw this, he stopped him to prevent Yan Jiecheng from making things worse.

After all, if Jia and Zhang are driven crazy this late at night, then there will be a lot of trouble tonight.
