Xu Qiang was done here, thinking that he had nothing to do, so he simply went to the kitchen to find the stupid pillar.

Last time, Huang Ercai's family embarrassed his brother in the yard, and in the end, it was Silly Zhu who stood up to help, and he promised to invite others to a meal, and today is just right.

After eating a meal at noon, Silly Zhu, the leader of the back kitchen team, basically had nothing to do, and was instructing his apprentice Ma Hua to cut vegetables in the back kitchen at this time.

"Brother Pillar." Xu Qiang beckoned inside, and Silly Zhu turned his head to see that it was Xu Qiang, and immediately grinned: "Hey? Hadron, why are you here? ”

Xu Qiang smiled and beckoned to him, motioning for him to come out and speak, it is not easy for ordinary people to enter a place like the kitchen, and the stupid pillar did not look at him unpleasantly because Xu Qiang was Xu Damao's younger brother, so he turned his head and told Ma Hua to come over after two sentences.

Xu Qiang took out a box of big front doors from his trouser pocket and scattered one for the stupid pillar, the stupid pillar took it and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Oh, the big front door, you kid can do it, now he finally lives a little human." ”

When Xu Qiang heard this, he couldn't help but roll his eyes, and said in his heart that you are a girl, and your life will be completely ruined on this stinky mouth. "If you're free this afternoon, please drink."

As soon as Xu Qiang said this, Silly Zhu suddenly remembered the events of that day, and waved his hand with a smile: "Don't mind, although I don't deal with Xu Damao, I am also a courtyard, and I can't watch outsiders bully people in my own courtyard." ”

Xu Qiang nodded, thinking that you kid can finally carry it clearly, but since the words have been said, how can there be no reason not to be invited, isn't there a saying that says: We must make more friends and fewer enemies.

If he wants to live comfortably in the courtyard, like the three masters' family, the Guangfu brothers, and the stupid pillars, they all have a good relationship, and no one will talk to him about anything in the future.

Of course, residents like Lao Jiang's family, who rarely get involved in things in the yard, will not waste too much time, it is basically a friendship to buy things from him, as for Li Zhenxing, then hehe.

"If I don't mention that stubble today, I will say that I, who is a younger brother, will I invite you to have a drink, will you appreciate your face?" Xu Qiang frowned, pretending to be a little unhappy.

"Hey, hey, that's natural face, let's say, drink outside or go home?" Silly Zhu is also a happy person, mainly because he looks at Xu Qiang, and feels that this product is much stronger than his brother Xu Damao.

"Cheng, then go to the People's Hotel, anyway, he is also the heir of the Tan family's cuisine, and this row of noodles still needs to be had." Xu Qiang said with a smile, and a smile suddenly appeared on the stupid pillar's face.

"Cheng, then I'll wait diligently to get off work, or you kid is bright." Silly Zhu smiled and patted Xu Qiang's shoulder, the two of them chatted a few more words, Xu Qiang left, rode a bicycle out of the rolling mill, glanced at the watch It was only three o'clock, and simply went to Chunyu Hutong to see Old Man Ouyang.

Passing by a steamed bun shop, I bought ten meat buns for the old man to take, this meal can be eaten hot and hot, it doesn't take much effort.

As soon as I entered the courtyard, I found that Guangfu and Guangdang were helping the old man clean up the house, the old man was in good spirits, and he was sitting at the door basking in the sun, and his complexion looked a lot better.

"Oh, old man, you look good today." Xu Qiang stopped his bicycle and said hello to Old Man Ouyang.

The old man was very happy to see Xu Qiang coming, and got up from the small stool to beckon Xu Qiang to sit in the house.

Xu Qiang took out the meat buns, Guangfu and Guangdang were very discerning, they only ate one, and the old man ate two, saying that he had eaten noodle soup in the morning, and he was not hungry at this time.

After eating the steamed buns, he praised Guangfu and Guangdang with Xu Qiang, saying that these two brothers would come to the house at two ends in three days to help him clean up the house, cook, steam steamed buns, and steam wotou.

Now it's cold, things can also be put in, sometimes give him more porridge, eat the rest of the food today and tomorrow will be hot and you can deal with a meal, he cooks a lot of trouble, used to be one meal a day, now two meals a day, sometimes three meals.

After talking for a while, the old man looked a little tired, Guang Fuguang fried a potato and cabbage neatly, put it on the stove to prevent it from getting cold, and the noodles, rolled out and cut the noodles into a small dustpan, and covered it with a cage cloth, and when the old man wanted to eat it, he went directly to the pot.

Finally, briquettes were added to the fire on the stove, and seeing that the old man was already lying on the kang and falling asleep, he went out lightly, and saw Xu Qiang pushing a bicycle waiting for them at the door.

"I said, don't you two go to work these days, why do you run here for three days?" Xu Qiang only said that the two brothers would come over to see the old man if they were fine, but he didn't expect them to be able to do this.

Guangfu scratched his head a little embarrassedly, and said with a smile: "This old man is very good, and we are willing to stay here." ”

Xu Qiang was slightly stunned, and then understood that the two brothers didn't want to see each other since they were children, either beating or scolding, but when they came to the old man, they were praised for not being good, and they were naturally happy to come.

He couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't know what to say for a while, he thought about it and took out a big unity from his trouser pocket, and handed some scattered tickets to Guangfu: "Seeing that the New Year is over, see what the shortcomings of the old man's family are, prepare something." ”

The brothers looked at this big unity very hotly, but they still hesitated a little and didn't pick it up, not too little, but because they felt too much:

"Brother Qiang, this ...... It doesn't cost ten dollars. Just stared at the ten dollars and said with a tangled face.

Xu Qiang naturally had a little temptation, if the two brothers didn't say anything today and took the ten yuan directly, then he would naturally not deal with it more in the future.

Fortunately, the two brothers did not disappoint him, although they were greedy for money, they also had a bottom line, he smiled and stuffed the money and tickets into Guangfu's hand, and signaled to talk while walking.

The three of them went out of the yard, it was work time, and there were only a few children playing in the alley, so Xu Qiang said: "I have something at hand now, if you have time, ...... it."

Before he finished speaking, Guangfu immediately nodded like garlic: "Yes, yes, we have time." ”

Xu Qiang nodded, and immediately briefly said a few words about the situation of Li Gui's family, focusing on letting them touch Shen Yue, not to startle the snake, and to find out the rules of her life.

The brothers were overjoyed when they got ten yuan, so they first went to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things for the old man, and when they were about to get off work, they were already outside the gate of the rolling mill.

After Xu Qiang left Chunyu Hutong, he rode his bicycle on the street for a while, and when he saw that the time was almost up, he walked to the People's Hotel, and after waiting at the door for a while, he rode a bicycle over.

"Hey, Brother Zhuzi, here." Xu Qiang waved his hand to say hello, Silly Zhu parked his bicycle and entered the People's Hotel with Xu Qiang, the two men ordered four dishes, two meat, two vegetarian, one of which was still a cold dish, and finally asked for two bowls of rice.

The wine was Xu Qiang's own Wuliangye, and he asked the waiter to take it down to help with the heat, and the rice and cold dishes were served quickly, and the stupid pillar may be hungry, so he first pulled two mouthfuls of rice and ate a few bites of cold dishes, and then put down the chopsticks and spoke.
