After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't figure it out, Xu Qiang simply didn't want to.

He got off work early today, because he was riding a bicycle, so when he got home, the old men in the yard had basically not returned.

The old man didn't go home for dinner today, so Xu Qiang sat down with his daughter-in-law and mother-in-law to eat and then went to the kitchen to clean up the stove.

However, as soon as I came into the kitchen and put on an apron, my daughter-in-law also came in.

"Let's come, ask in the alleys, how can there be old men who wash pots and cook every day?"

As Lou Xiao'e spoke, she took off her apron from Xu Qiang's waist and wrapped it around herself and began to wash the dishes.

Xu Qiang just smiled and didn't argue, just stood in the kitchen and watched his daughter-in-law finish cleaning up after a while.

As soon as the two of them came out of the kitchen, they saw the mother-in-law coming in from the courtyard with Xiao Hehe in her arms.

Xiao Hehe kept crying "wow", and her mother-in-law's face was not good-looking.

"Mom, what's wrong?"

Seeing this, Lou Xiao'e hurriedly greeted him and reached out to hug Xiao Hehe.

Xu Qiang glanced at his daughter, his eyes fell on his mother-in-law, and when he saw that she was wet, he turned around and went to the bathroom to get a towel.

I only heard my mother-in-law say with an unhappy face: "When I arrived in the middle courtyard, I happened to meet Jia Zhang's who poured dirty water as soon as he went out. ”

"As a result, a large basin of pot water splashed me, and Xiao Hehe was also scared."

As soon as Xu Qiang heard this, his face suddenly became ugly.

Look at my daughter again, there are still water droplets in her hair and collar, so I quickly let me go and change my clothes first.

And he himself went out to the middle courtyard.

Jia Zhang's had just finished cleaning up at this time, and was sitting in the yard with a small horse, chewing his tongue with a few old ladies in the yard:

"I tell you, you didn't see that just now."

"Just the Lou family in the backyard, I just came out of the weeping flower door with a money-losing goods, and I poured a basin of water to wash the pot......"

Jia Zhang's words were rising, and the spittle stars flew around.

It turned out that the eyes of several old ladies around her suddenly looked at her wrong.

Before she could ask what was going on, she heard an exclamation of "ah" from the crowd.

Then, Jia Zhangshi saw Xu Qiang holding a bucket in his hand, which was cold water that had just come out of the faucet, and splashed it directly on her head and face.

With a "bang", a bucket of water was all splashed on Jia Zhang's body, and Jia Zhang's body was wet and wet, and he couldn't help but shiver.

"Ah...... Xu Qiang, you killing a thousand knives, I'll sue you, you ......"

Jia Zhangshi scolded loudly, and got up from the pony to go home to change clothes.

Although the weather is warm now, it is only April.

The water from the faucet is cold, and the taste of splashing on people is not pleasant.

At this moment, Qin Huairu coincidentally came in through the Moon Gate.

When I saw Xu Qiang holding a bucket in his hand, his mother-in-law's face was full of water, what else did he not understand?

suddenly screamed, and hurriedly went to help his mother-in-law, while turning his head and glaring at Xu Qiang angrily:

"Xu Qiang, what are you doing?"

"Anyway, my mother-in-law is so old, you poured this bucket of cold water, in case she has a good ......"

Speaking of this, Qin Huairu's eyes had already begun to accumulate tears, and her cheeks were also very red, with an angry face.

If Xu Qiang had been the leader of the rolling mill before, she would have been three points shorter when she saw a worker.

But now, Lao Liu is the head of the General Affairs Section, and her identity is naturally rising.

Now, not to mention the workers in the workshop, even the workshop director saw her, and he politely picked up the good words.

If this was in the past, she would only be Xu Qiang is section chief and a leading cadre.

But since following Lao Liu, she realized that there is a difference between a leader and a leader.

For example, Xu Qiang, although he is the head of the material department, the material department has always been an empty shelf.

He, the section chief, sounds very majestic, but in fact, he doesn't have any power in his hands, so he is not as good as Lao Liu's deputy section chief.

To put it mildly, even if Xu Qiang didn't trouble her Qin Huairu, she still wanted to beat Xu Qiang, the "big man" in the courtyard, so that everyone in the courtyard could see her ability.

I never thought that she hadn't done it yet, but Xu Qiang had bullied her mother-in-law first?

When Xu Qiang heard Qin Huairu say this, not only was he not half angry, but grinned and asked:

"Qin Huairu, your mother-in-law is so old, and she is afraid of being splashed with a bucket of water."

"Why, my mother-in-law is so old, and she is still holding a child less than a year old, so she deserves to be splashed with a basin of pot water?"

When Qin Huairu heard Xu Qiang say this, she was slightly stunned at first.

However, she soon understood the meaning of Xu Qiang's words, first glanced at her mother-in-law, and then rolled her eyes:

"My mother-in-law was careless, she just came out to pour water after cleaning up the stove, who made your mother-in-law just bump into it?"

"Whew!"

Xu Qiang directly quenched a mouthful of thick phlegm towards Qin Huairu's face:

"Your mother-in-law was careless? Ask in the alleys, which one cleans up the pot and stove and pours water as soon as you go out? ”

"Even if she was careless, didn't she even apologize if she spilled someone?"

"What is your family, who in the courtyard doesn't know?"

As soon as Xu Qiang finished saying this, it happened that Uncle Yi and several residents in the courtyard also returned.

As soon as the first uncle heard Xu Qiang's words, his originally smiling face suddenly became gloomy.

He is now the deputy director of the workshop, so he naturally heard something about the material department and the general affairs department.

Although he can be the deputy director, Xu Qiang also contributed part of his strength.

However, Uncle Yi always believes that the main thing is that he has the ability.

Moreover, Xu Qiang's original intention was not to really want to help him, but to help the director of the agricultural machinery factory solve the problem.

Today, when I saw Qin Huairu, who hugged her thighs, she jumped out first, and naturally she was not far behind:

"Xu Qiang, it's all neighbors, what are you doing?"

"Besides, Jia Zhang's is so old, if there is a headache and brain fever, the two of you will not be able to be neighbors if you look down and see each other in the future?"

Speaking of this, Uncle Yi turned his head to look at Qin Huairu again:

"Huairu, I'll make the decision on this matter, just let Xu Qiang apologize to your mother-in-law, what do you think?"

"As the old saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, and if it doesn't look good, it won't be easy to meet in the future."

Qin Huairu heard Uncle Yi say this, and the tears in his eyes finally flowed out:

"Uncle Yi, you also know the affairs of our family, there is no man in the family, and it is inevitable that someone will bully you."

"You can stand up and call the shots for our family, and my mother-in-law and I thank you."

The first uncle was very satisfied that Qin Huairu could be so good, nodded and turned his head to look at Xu Qiang, waiting for him to apologize.

Xu Qiang turned his head and directly fell on the face of the uncle, sneered, and asked word by word:

"Uncle Yi, according to what you mean, my mother-in-law and Xiao Hehe deserve to be splashed with water in the pot, right?"

When Uncle Yi heard Xu Qiang say this, he had a little more smile on his face:

"Xu Qiang, I believe that Jia Zhang's family didn't mean this matter, everyone has lived in the same courtyard for so many years, can I still not understand her?"

When Xu Qiang heard this, he grinned and nodded in agreement:

"Yes, there is no one in this courtyard who knows Jia Zhang's family better than you."

"I just don't know, when Lao Jia was dying and entrusted you to take care of Jia Zhang's orphans and widows, did he let you take care of Jia Zhang's on his own kang?"
