Two of you, you drink a cup of me, the pot of wine mentioned by the third master has already been drunk, Xu Qiang took another bottle of Erguotou and continued to drink, and finally the peanuts were gone, and the pig's head meat mixed with cucumbers was gone, and the third master went home drunk.

Xu Qiang also drank a little too much, plus the room was warm, and it didn't take long for him to feel up, he hit a basin of cold water and wiped his face, so that he could sober up a little, and it was already nine o'clock when he looked at his watch.

Put on a padded jacket and go to the alley to solve the major events of life, come back and get into the quilt and sleep until you wake up naturally.

The yard was noisy, and the sun was also shining on the window, Xu Qiang got dressed and washed up and went out of the house, seeing that the old men had already gone to work, and the deaf old lady was sitting at the door basking in the sun.

"Hey, old lady, you're early!"

Xu Qiang asked with a smile, the deaf old lady is a five-guarantee household in the yard, saying that all her children have sacrificed their lives for the country, and she herself has made clothes for the army when she was young, and every year the cadres of the neighborhood committee who are out of time and celebrate the holidays come to condole, and even the most pungent Jia Zhang's family in the whole yard does not dare to provoke her.

"The sun is on the window, it's not early." The deaf old lady smiled and said, there were few teeth left in her mouth.

"Hey, hey, hey" Xu Qiang grinned, didn't answer this, people said he was lazy, he was always bad at nodding, right?

"You kid stays at home all day, and you don't say that you should find a partner to marry quickly, what are you doing in front of my old woman?" The deaf old lady glanced at Xu Qiang with a smile, and then turned her head to look at the children in the yard playing through the hanging flower door.

"My brother is not married yet, I'm not busy, I'm not idle, I'm okay, I'll talk to you, right?"

Xu Qiang was not annoyed, he simply moved a small horse to sit next to the deaf old lady, he didn't have any purpose, he was just bored.

The deaf old lady glanced back at Xu Qiang again, and narrowed her eyes with a smile: "I don't see it, you kid still have this filial piety!" ”

"Hey, old lady, you are the Dinghai Shen Needle of our yard, we must be filial when we are juniors, right? Old lady, are you old this year? ”

Xu Qiang looked along the line of sight of the deaf old lady and saw that Jia Zhang's family in the middle courtyard was sitting at the door basking in the sun and holding the soles of his shoes, and in the middle of the courtyard, Xiaodang and Huaihua were playing with the two children of Li Shengli's family.

However, Huaihua and Li Shengli's youngest son, Goudan, was obviously too young, so he could only follow the side to pick up stones, but he couldn't stop laughing happily, but his face was red and he was cold enough.

"I'll be seventy-six after this year, old man, old man!" The deaf old lady couldn't help but sigh, and a trace of depression flashed between her eyebrows as she spoke.

Xu Qiang glanced at the old lady and smiled and enlightened: "Old lady, children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, don't worry so much when you are so old, there is an uncle in this courtyard." ”

He knew that the old lady was worried that she would not have a filial son to break the pot and send her to the end when she was old, and secondly, she was worried that the stupid pillar would be pinched in Qin Huairu's hands all her life and would not be able to marry her daughter-in-law.

The deaf old lady glanced at Xu Qiang with some surprise, and said with a smile: "Old lady, I really lost my eyes, this young man in the courtyard, count you as an understanding person." ”

"Just for the things you did in the front yard, he is also a good boy, much better than others, but when people walk in this world, they always have to think about it a little, and there are some things that can't be let go, how can my old lady be an exception?"

Xu Qiang smiled: "Old lady, there is one thing I am particularly curious about, that is, why are you so rare and stupid?" ”

The old lady didn't hide it, she sighed heavily first, and then slowly spoke: "I'm not afraid of your jokes when I say it, old lady, I've been used to it alone for so many years, and so many children in the yard in those years are the pillars, and this child has a heart, come to see me from time to time, and talk to my old lady." ”

Xu Qiang nodded to show that he understood, and he didn't ask anymore, the old and the young sat in the yard to bask in the sun, and at noon Xu Qiang got up and went into the house to prepare to cook, and greeted the old lady:

"Old lady, it's okay to deal with it at my house at noon today, and the province is fired."

The deaf old lady smiled and waved her hand at him: "I still have two catties of white noodles in my house, you take them and eat noodles today." ”

"Hey, my old lady, you're welcome." Xu Qiang said with a smile, went into the house, took the basin, entered the deaf old lady's house, scooped up a small half bowl of noodles, and went back to the house to start cooking.

Naturally, he himself is not unfamiliar with this bit of white noodles, but he knows that if he doesn't take the old lady's, the old lady will not be able to eat this meal.

Xu Damao came back a little late today, mainly because he missed the time to grab the medicine, and although he was frozen like the third grandson when he entered the house, he kept grinning.

Xu Qiang made a pot of noodles, fried cabbage vermicelli and frozen tofu, and put stewed soft braised pork in it, and served a bowl to the old lady first, and then went back to the house to eat with Xu Damao.

Xu Damao snorted and asked, "Why did you make noodles for that old woman today?" ”

Xu Qiang said while eating: "Living in a hospital is a convenient thing, people can help when they are old, and accumulate more virtue." ”

"Che, do you still believe this?" Xu Damao didn't care.

"The things handed down by the ancestors have not been lost for thousands of years, it must be reasonable, this kind of thing cannot be trusted, and you must not believe it, anyway, you will not lose anything if you help and help you."

Xu Qiang said casually, he was a child from the countryside in his previous life, and some strange things often happened in the village, and there was also a temple of Guanyin Old Mother in the village, and a temple fair was held every year, so he believed a little bit.

However, as he said, he can't be trusted, he just does it casually and doesn't do anything deliberately.

Xu Damao still shook his head and didn't care, Xu Qiang also smiled and didn't say more, this was just his idea, and he didn't ask everyone to accept it.

After eating, Xu Damao went back to his house to boil medicine, and Xu Qiang went out on a bicycle.

The weather is good today, and he is ready to ask his future wife to watch a movie, press the road, and drill ...... Ahem, this one doesn't work.

Lou Xiao'e's house is not too far from the courtyard, Xu Qiang took forty minutes on a bicycle, and knocked on the door when he arrived at the door, and it was Lou Xiao'e who opened the door.

"Oh, Xu Qiang, why are you here? Come on in. ”

Lou Xiao'e was talking, and turned sideways to let Xu Qiang in, Xu Qiang changed his shoes at the door and entered the house, and saw Lou's mother sitting in the living room, so she politely greeted first: "Hello Auntie, this is a little snack for you." ”

As he spoke, he put the cloth pocket he was carrying on the coffee table, which was not a rare thing, it was five catties of soft and glutinous persimmons, which could not necessarily be seen in the entire Sijiu City.

Seeing that Xu Qiang was coming, Lou's mother sat up from the sofa with a smile, beckoned him to sit down, and asked her daughter to pour tea, while she sat opposite Xu Qiang, smiling kindly: "You kid, what do you bring with you when you come...... Oops, this is a persimmon? ”

Xu Qiang wanted such an effect, and immediately nodded with a smile: "I just saw such a good thing yesterday and brought it to you." ”
