Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 129 "Sudden Advances"

Xu Deyong paused slightly and said: "It's alright. Although shopkeeper Chen is a bit domineering at times, he is a nice person and takes good care of me. He has introduced me to a lot of jobs."

"Oh." Xu Huizhen's eyes moved slightly: "How do you know each other?"

Xu Deyong kept busy with his work and said: "I have been soliciting customers for three times before, and I have asked shopkeeper Chen and Miss Irina to help me repair some things. After that, they had to go to Shanghai once, and there was no suitable person to accompany them for a while. , just let me rush the ducks to put it on the shelves, and by chance, I helped out as much as I could in Shanghai, and the relationship gradually became closer."

"But he is the boss of the shop, and I am just a little boss. They are praising me, and of course you are praising me too. I am lucky to meet a noble person." Xu Deyong said with a "silly" smile.

Xu Huizhen smiled softly and said: "So that's it. We are not noble people. It's you who have the ability. I didn't expect you to have been to Shanghai."

"It's all about light, it's just about light."

……

While chatting, Xu Deyong wiped and tidied up in less than 10 minutes.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen stood up and said, "You work fast enough. I'm sorry to bother you. I'll give you one piece of the money I paid for the drinks when I get my wages back."

Seeing that Xu Deyong was about to speak, she added: "No need to refuse. I have been busy alone and taking care of the children. Do you have any recommendations for suitable candidates? Just help me clear the table in the morning, wash the dishes, wine glasses, etc." ."

Xu Deyong did not answer, but asked: "Shopkeeper Xu, what do you think of the public-private partnership we talked about in the tavern years ago?"

Xu Huizhen said with a pretty face, "Everyone is waiting and watching, and they seem to be reluctant. In fact, I don't want strangers to get involved in my tavern."

Xu Deyong said seriously: "According to the current situation, public-private partnership is the general trend. Sooner or later, socialism will transform capitalism. No one can survive alone. The result of going against the trend is likely to be... shattered to pieces..."

Xu Huizhen said in surprise: "So serious?"

Xu Deyong said: "Well, the previous 'Three Five Rebellions' are still fresh in my mind. Public-private partnership can change your identity. The sooner the partnership is established, the more beneficial it will be."

Xu Huizhen said thoughtfully: "You mean we have to work together in the morning and evening, first pot of dumplings and second pot of noodles, right?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "That's the truth. Even if I don't say it, you will figure it out later. You are reliable in doing things!"

Xu Huizhen looked at the child and smiled and said, "Hey, when you say, 'That's Li'er,' my Li'er's eyes light up. He's not talking about you."

She reached out and pinched Xiao Li'er's face.

Xu Deyong praised: "This child has been smart since he was a child. He will definitely be good when he grows up."

Every mother likes to hear praises about her children. Xu Huizhen said with a motherly smile on her pretty face: "Well, my son is smart, isn't he!"

After teasing the child, Xu Huizhen continued: "What do you mean by not recruiting people now and waiting for the public-private partnership to arrange people?"

Xu Deyong smiled lightly and said: "I'll just tell you, the specific decision is up to you."

Xu Huizhen thought for a while, then turned her eyes and said: "Public-private partnership... I'll take a look after the Lantern Festival. In that case, you work quickly, can you please spare an hour every morning to help me clean up during this period?" Clean it up, and all your wages will be included in your drink bill."

Xu Deyong said neatly: "Okay, it doesn't matter whether the wages are paid or not. I also have a request. There are many people coming and going in your tavern every day. I would like to hang a sign saying that people use trucks to pull work at the door of your tavern. If you have a car, Man, if you greet me when I'm not here, if there are customers, it will save me the trouble of partying every day."

Xu Huizhen hesitated for a moment and said, "Okay, then remember to pass by when you go home every evening. I will notify you if there is any news."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Deyong said.

Xu Huizhen said: "Help each other."

The two were polite and couldn't help but smile at each other. Xu Huizhen glanced aside slightly, took out the key to the tavern from her pocket and handed it to him: "This is the key to the tavern. You can come in by yourself later."

This trust is a bit heavy.

Xu Deyong reached out and took it: "Thank you, Shopkeeper Xu, for your trust."

Xu Huizhen lowered her eyes slightly and said, "Don't call me Shopkeeper Xu from now on. I'm one year older than you, so just call me Sister Xu..."

Xu Deyong couldn't help but smile and said: "Calling you Sister Xu feels too old, so it would be better to call you Sister Zhen or Sister Huizhen."

"It's up to you." Xu Huizhen seemed to let go of something in her heart, and said in a brisk voice: "There are also cannon plates and wine glasses in the backyard pool."

Xu Deyong opened his eyes and said, "Ah, am I already at work?"

Xu Huizhen said a little playfully: "That's right, I paid the money."

"Yes, you are the shopkeeper, I will sell it to you this hour." Xu Deyong smiled and shook his head and walked to the backyard. "Hey, I'm holding Li'er, and you can hold the crib for me."

……

Xu Deyong came out of the bar after finishing his work, took out the key and threw it away. Hey, we are one step closer to "handover"!
Come on!

After that, he rushed to that house. The house had a small storefront and did some small business. He had some money in his hand, but there was no chance of getting married and looking for a car at this time.

The groom, who is about the same age as him, bought a brand new Feige bicycle as a wedding car. There was a big silk red flower hanging in the middle of the handlebar, which looked very impressive.

"The pigeons are fast and can endure forever, even if the red flag increases, it's not bad either!"

The groom was very satisfied with Xu Deyong's car. He found a big red flower and tied it to Xu Deyong's handlebar to take a look. The red and green flowers looked festive.

He immediately decided to let Xu Deyong's car follow him to collect the dowry. He felt that it was a bit "low price" to find a platoon car.

Let Xu Deyong come early tomorrow morning.

Xu Deyong naturally agreed and didn't even ask about the price. The red envelope would definitely be indispensable.

Okay, my cart is also a wedding car!
After agreeing, he rode a cart to the vegetable market to buy spicy pimples for Xu Huizhen.

It's early spring, there are not many vegetables in season, and it takes time to transport them from other places, so the vegetable market is a bit deserted.

Fortunately, spicy pimples are still available and the price is cheap, only two cents per pound.

He asked how many more there were.

The vegetable seller said: "That's all we have for now. If you want to buy more, you can only wait a few days."

He had ten dollars on him that Xu Huizhen gave him.

Hearing this, I bought [-] kilograms, which was almost enough to make a round. I also used my own money to buy [-] kilograms of coarse salt, which was [-] kilograms.

Xu Deyong took Spicy Pimples back to the tavern. Xu Huizhen opened her mouth and said, "Did you really buy so much?"

Xu Deyong scratched his head and laughed and said: "There are not many goods in the vegetable market. I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to buy it later, so I bought more. Sister Huizhen, if you don't like it too much, I will help you deal with it. When it is marinated, I will give you a hundred catty."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said: "Then how long do you have to eat? It's okay. Just have more. Then you will double your work today and help me clean and cut the roots."

"Okay, then I won't do anything else today." Xu Deyong said with a helpless smile.

"You deserve it!" Xu Huizhen twisted her waist and entered the hospital with a smile on her face.

Xu Deyong shrugged and carried five sacks of spicy lumps into the courtyard. The two of them were busy all afternoon and still didn't finish them.

At noon, Xu Huizhen was cooking, so he naturally stayed to eat.

Now that we have the keys and we have food, the relationship is really progressing by leaps and bounds!

……

On the other side, Chen Xueru was a little baffled as she looked at Hou Bingfeng who came to her with a livid face.

But she said calmly: "What are you here for?"

Hou Bingfeng glared at her, gritted his teeth and whispered: "You still have the nerve to say, didn't you ask him to threaten me? Tell me, how much do you want?"

Chen Xueru's pupils shrank, her thoughts changed quickly and she said calmly: "Eighty percent!"

Hou Bingfeng went crazy when he heard this, and said with a furious look: "You are simply greedy. This is impossible. At worst, the fish will die and the net will be broken..."
