Xu Qing did not block Xu Damao's proposal just now, nor did he help his third brother Xu Fengming.

Now that their parents are gone, they have to slowly learn to do something and become independent.

As the eldest brother, Xu Qing cannot take care of them for the rest of his life.

The little girl followed Xu Fengming, holding a diabolo in her hand. Seeing that her third brother was so awesome today, her little eyes blinked with an expression of admiration.

He hurriedly walked to the front and opened the door.

Xu Qing stood in the courtyard and saw that the little guy was still quite strong. He immediately smiled knowingly, reached out and took out a cigarette and handed one to Xu Damao.

Xu Damao leaned on his bicycle, looked at Xu Fengming with Xu Qing, and said with a smile:

"Qingzi, your third child is good, he has a lot of potential!"

Xu Qing smiled and didn't respond, but he was very happy.

Standing in the courtyard, Xu Qing chatted with Xu Damao, thanked Xu Damao, and then walked back into the house.

At this time, the little guy had already carried his noodles to the kitchen. After Xu Qing entered the house, he saw Xu Fengming lying on the edge of the kang, panting, obviously tired.

But it’s normal.

After all, children living in cities are different from those in rural areas. The environment is different, resulting in considerable differences in cognition and all aspects.

Rural children, whose parents are busy farming, know how to help the family from an early age.

Pulling oxen to plow the fields, gathering firewood, making fires for cooking, herding sheep and cattle, cutting the wheat when it is ripe, pushing carts, pulling carts, everything is good.

But there are no such things in the city. People in the city have no land to farm. Their parents usually go to work, so their children naturally have nothing to do.

Moreover, as far as Xu Fengming is concerned, with the eldest brother Xu Qing and the second brother Xu Aiguo in front, even if something happens, when it comes to his turn, it will mostly be something light and easy.

But today, Xu Fengming helped the family with some physical work.

Xu Qing walked up to him, stretched out his hand to touch his third brother's little head, and asked, "How do you feel?"

"It's nothing, just my arm is a little sore."

Xu Fengming turned around, grinned and said to his eldest brother Xu Qing.

When Xu Qing heard this, he smiled slightly and let the little guy continue to rest. He took off his scarf, washed his hands, and went into the kitchen.

At this time, in the kitchen, the second brother Xu Aiguo has been lighting a fire in front of the stove and heating steamed buns.

Xu Qing saw the white steam coming out of the pot. He opened the lid and took a look. The steamed buns were already heated, so he quickly washed and cut the vegetables.

Xu Aiguo sat on the bench in front of the stove, helping his elder brother peel onions and garlic.

As for the noodles that Xu Fengming carried into the kitchen, they were currently stacked next to the noodle vat.

Xu Qing received his salary today and bought noodles and meat, so he thought about making a good meal for the little ones to eat.

The cabbage was cut into half, and a small piece of meat was left uneaten from last time. Xu Qing took it out from the cupboard and cut it into shreds.

As for the three kilograms of pork bought today, Xu Qing used his ability to divide it into two when his second brother Xu Aiguo went to the front room.

Three kilograms became six kilograms, and I didn’t need to buy any more a year ago.

In fact, Xu Qing didn't have any meat stamps on him at the moment. When he got off work in the afternoon and bought meat at the supply and marketing cooperative, he also used the meat stamps he had been given out.

First of all, I took the opportunity today and finally managed to buy meat. Naturally, I bought enough at once. It’s winter anyway, so I won’t worry about it spoiling if I keep it indoors.

Secondly, Xu Qing was mainly worried that he would not be able to buy meat before the Chinese New Year.

After all, supplies are already very tight during these years, and pork is in short supply. Moreover, the Chinese New Year is approaching, and every household will order some meat to take home, so meat naturally becomes more and more nervous.

Qin Huairu also went to the supply and marketing cooperative before, and when Xu Qing was buying meat, he saw half a fan of pork.

As a result, when he and Xu Damao were waiting for Qin Huairu to come out, half a fan of pork was snatched away in just a few minutes.

Qin Huairu didn't even mention buying a tael of meat, not even pig tails.

There is no other way, after the salary is paid, who doesn’t want to eat something good?

Xu Qing grabbed the separated pork, cut into half a catty, and then put the rest away.

Then he held the kitchen knife and slowly cut the half a pound of pork into shreds.

And at the same time.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong are now back from the supply and marketing cooperative carrying their things.

They bought many varieties, but not too many.

The fact that they were able to buy meat today was all thanks to Xu Qing's credit. Otherwise, how could Yi Zhonghai have squeezed in?

As soon as Liu Haizhong entered the backyard, he asked the second aunt to quickly scoop out a bowl of noodles from the flour bag and return it to the third uncle's house in the front yard.

The second aunt saw that Liu Haizhong had not only bought noodles, but also pork, eggs and other things. Her face suddenly lit up with joy. She turned around and went into the house, took out a bowl, scooped out a bowl of white noodles in the noodle pocket, and twisted her body.

Just carry it and walk towards the front yard.

The sky has darkened at this time, and darkness slowly covers the earth. However, because there has been no snow in the past two days, the snow in the courtyard has melted a lot, and the stars have hung in the night sky again.

Although it is not very bright, it indicates that tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Xu Qing was busy in the kitchen at the moment, taking out the steamed buns from the pot, then scooping out the boiling water at the bottom of the pot, then grabbing a piece of fat meat, throwing it into the pot, refining the oil, and preparing for cooking.<

/p>

The three little ones ran into the kitchen to help. Xu Aiguo took the hot buns to the front room, and Xu Fengming bent down to get the dishes and chopsticks from the cupboard.

The little girl held a big plate with both hands and stood by the stove, waiting for her elder brother to finish frying the vegetables and take them to the front room.

Ten minutes later, Xu Qing and the three little ones sat on the kang in the front room and had a hot dinner.

There are many households in the courtyard that eat meat today, including the Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and Yanbu Gui families.

Although the third uncle, Yan Bugui, does not work in the factory, the difference between the days when his school pays wages and the time in the factory is only two or three days.

And the third uncle is a man who is good at planning. When he eats meat every month, he waits for the people who work in the factory in the compound to get their wages. They buy meat together and eat it together, no matter how early or late.
p>

The main reason is that I am afraid that my family will be jealous if I eat meat, and I am also afraid that my children will be jealous of others.

On the contrary, there is no meat in Jia’s house today.

Qin Huairu didn't even buy it, so naturally she couldn't eat it.

Jia Zhang smelled the aroma of meat filling the yard and couldn't help complaining to Qin Huairu again.

BangGeng was holding her chopsticks, and kept crying just looking at the dish that didn't have any meaty taste, which made Xiao Dang, who was eating well, start yelling too.

Qin Huairu suddenly felt tired. It wasn't that she didn't want to buy it, but that there were so many people that she didn't have the chance.

After taking two bites of steamed buns mixed with white flour, Qin Huairu put down her chopsticks and walked outside the house, preparing to go to Sha Zhu's house to ask Sha Zhu whether he went to the state-owned store to buy meat today.
