Chapter 66 Tooth powder and favors

 Some time ago, Xu Qing borrowed food coupons from Liu Haizhong.

At that time, I thought about it for a long time, but I didn't lend it to me in the end.

Liu Haizhong has a lot of salary, but the food coupons in this year are quantitative. If you have money but don’t have tickets, you can’t buy food unless you go to the second dealer to spend money on high prices. In addition, in the past two or three years, there has been a serious shortage of food in the country. Liu Haizhong is afraid that his family will not have enough food, so he dares to borrow people at will.

And Liu Haizhong still had the intention to worry that Xu Qing is now an apprentice who borrowed the food coupons himself. What should I do if I can't pay it back in one go?

If you make your family hungry and let others have enough food, you won’t even be beaten to death with your bangs.

Now that Xu Qing's family has passed, I feel that I can't see my face in my bangs.

What's more, the night before yesterday, his two sons got Xu Qing's apple.

I felt even more embarrassed in the center of the bangs.

Standing in the yard and pondered for a long time, he shook his cotton jacket on his body in his bangs, sighed, turned his head and prepared to return to his house.

Although the excitement in Xu Qing's house made him want to go in, he finally held it back.

At this time, Qin Huairu came over to the middle yard and saw Liu Haizhong standing in the yard with his back facing Xu Qing's house. He mistakenly thought that Liu Haizhong had just come out of Xu Qing's house.

Qin Huairu asked, "Second uncle, I'm so anxious to go back to sleep. It's not nine o'clock yet."

Liu Haizhong replied vaguely at Qin Huairu, and then quickly walked towards his own room.

Qin Huairu didn't hear what she said in her bangs, but she didn't take it to heart.

She just said hello, and the people in the yard can't say a word when they meet, right?

Walking to the door of Xu Qing's house, Qin Huairu heard the voices of Xu Qing, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

He reached out and pushed the door and walked in.

In the room, Xu Qinggang packed the dishes and chopsticks of the three little ones who had finished their meal into the kitchen.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming, Xu Qing knew that something must be wrong with her coming.

Otherwise, with Jia Zhang's personality, Qin Huairu would not have allowed him to run in the yard at night.

Sha Zhute was active, and as soon as he saw Qin Huairu, he immediately stood up from the chair and said quickly:

"Sister Qin, you are here to find Xu Qing this night. Is there anything wrong?"

Qin Huairu looked at Sha Zhu angrily, reached out to the stove and said:

"It's because you are not in the house that I have to come to the backyard and ask Xu Qing to borrow tooth powder!"

Xu Damao sat on the edge of the kang without moving. He turned his head and looked at Qin Huairu, glanced at Qin Huairu's chest twice, then smoked a cigarette, and turned around to continue playing with Xu Fengming and the little girl on the kang.

Xu Qing stood at the kitchen door and frowned slightly when he heard Qin Huairu want to borrow tooth powder.

Tooth powder is not expensive, and it costs five cents a pack. If you lend it to Qin Huairu, there is no problem.

Anyway, it's not just for eating or brushing your teeth.

However, it would be very difficult for her to repay her in the future.

Sha Zhu accepted Xu Qing’s favor the night before yesterday and kept remembering that when Qin Huairu asked Xu Qing to borrow tooth powder, she also understood that if she borrowed the tooth powder, she would definitely have no hope of repaying it.

So, Sha Zhu reached out and picked up the kettle on the stove, threw the cigarette butt in, and pushed Qin Huairu and said:

"Sister Qin, I have it in my house. I bought it and left it for a long time. I'll take it for you to go back to the intermediate yard."

While talking, Sha Zhu pushed Qin Huairu and walked out of Xu Qing's house.

Xu Damao was not in a hurry to leave. After staying in Xu Qing's house for a while, he left yawned.

In fact, Xu Qing has helped a lot in the yard over the past period of time. Sha Zhu is not the only one who owe Xu Qing favors.

The third uncle Yan Bugui family in the front yard, and Xu Damao, were all like Sha Zhu.

Xu Qing helped the youngest son of the third uncle, Yan Jiekuan, to take up his dislocated arm. Yan Bugui wanted to pay back this favor, but he didn't know how to pay back.

Last time I gave Xu Qing a bag of tea, but Yan Bugui still felt it was not enough.

Xu Damao got a lot of benefits because of Xu Qing's food coupons and bicycle coupons.

He is now even more close to Xu Qing than his younger brother. Although he has no siblings, if Xu Qing encounters something, Xu Damao will definitely rush out to help.

It’s just that Qin Huairu came to borrow tooth powder. The reason why Xu Damao didn’t say anything just now was that he didn’t have it in his own house.

Otherwise, Xu Damao raised his hand and asked Qin Huairu to get it by himself.

All of a sudden, everyone left.

Xu Qing asked the three little ones to wash their feet quickly, turned around and went back to the kitchen to clean the dishes.

After cleaning up, Xu Qing also washed his feet, and then lay on the kang with the three little ones to turn off the lights and go to bed.

...........

Early in the morning, Xu Qing reminded his second brother Xu Aiguo as usual before leaving work.

The yard was pitch black, no light, and the snow was not floating, and only the coldness of the frozen people was wandering.

After walking to the intermediate courtyard, I vaguely saw Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu, who were already waiting for him.

Xu Qing and the two of them left the courtyard, walked along the alley, and headed to the street.

Two points and one line are Xu Qing’s life trajectory over the past six months.

After entering the factory, the three of them separated and went to their respective jobs.

Without yesterday's visit from the workers' newspapers, nothing else happened in the factory.

The only thing is that the factory director asked the radio station under the Propaganda Department to pass the loudspeaker in the factory to commend Xu Qing's spirit of bravery and helping others throughout the whole day.

It was not stopped until after get off work in the afternoon.

But the sky, which had been gloomy all day, suddenly started snowing, but fortunately it wasn't heavy.

Xu Qing walked out of the workshop and looked up and saw Xu Damao pedaling his bicycle and quickly leaving the factory gate.

When he returned to the courtyard, Xu Qing was stopped by Yan Bugui in the front yard and praised him violently.

I think it was naturally the case in the factory yesterday that spread in the yard.

Xu Qing smiled, chatted with Yan Bugui, and then went back to the backyard.

After passing the Intermediate Court, Jia Zhang looked at Xu Qing as he did not hold a grudge as before, but he still stared at Xu Qing, without saying a word, only his eyes were rolling around in his eyes.

Xu Qing ignored Jia Zhang, put his hands in the mouth of the cotton jacket, and went back to the backyard in diameter.

All three young people in the house came back early. Today they took the exam and they naturally got off school earlier than usual.

In front of the stove in the front room, the little girl and Xu Fengming were roasting sweet potatoes.

The heat came out of the kitchen, so naturally the second brother Xu Aiguo was burning hot steamed buns.

After Xu Qing reached out and untied the scarf on his neck, washed his hands and went into the kitchen.

As for how the three little ones took the exam today, Xu Qing was not in a hurry to ask.

Prepare to talk about it while I’m going to have a meal.

Anyway, it doesn’t matter whether the exam is good or bad. The main thing is to learn something, which is the key.

The purpose of learning is not something that can be measured by exams, if you judge the good or bad by your grades.

Xu Qing felt that it was unnecessary.

Whether in later generations or in thousands of years ahead.

There are countless scholars who add up. In the final analysis, who doesn’t want to improve their lives by studying?

If you have been reading for many years, but have a mouth full of swearing, and have not even learned the most basic things, etiquette, integrity and shame, you may be even worse than farmers who carry a hoe and farm for the rest of their lives.

Although farmers may not have read books or are not necessarily educated, they know that the morning glow does not go out, and the sunset travels thousands of miles.

Xu Qing did not want the three little ones to take the exam, and he was at the top every time. His only hope was that his three younger brothers and sisters could learn more knowledge.

Xu Qing entered the kitchen and asked his second brother Xu Aiguo to go to the front room to accompany Xu Fengming and the little girl.

He started kneading the noodles himself and prepared to eat noodles in the evening.

But before Xu Qing could knead the dough, he heard a "bang" suddenly coming from the yard outside the house.

Immediately afterwards, the screams of the little girl and Xu Fengming came from the front room.
