Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 155 Some people are happy and some are sad

Cai Quanwu was stunned for a moment and said: "Stop teasing me, how could I possibly!"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Look, you always say things like this, you have to be a little confident."

At this time Qiangzi came over, and Xu Deyong stopped talking.

Qiangzi couldn't help but smile when he saw Xu Deyong. This guy and Fan Jinyou went to Xu Huizhen's house to steal wine before, but they didn't get any benefits and only offended others.

As for Xu Deyong's "intention", he had also known it in his heart. The key was that he could see that they were vaguely interested in each other.

Offending one is equal to offending both!

Xu Deyong said calmly: "Sit down, do it again and again, and don't show up in this tavern again."

"Hey, Deyong, I understand. I was fooled by lard and was encouraged by Fan Jinyou. I will definitely not dare to do it again." Qiangzi sat down and said with a smile.

"How is your transport team doing?" Xu Deyong asked casually.

Qiangzi sighed and said: "Hey, don't mention it. Many of the tasks in Dashilar during the public-private partnership are no longer our responsibility. My transportation team has become obsolete. Now it's just one day at a time."

Cai Quanwu said: "Who made you disobey the advice in the first place?"

Qiangzi said helplessly: "I don't have any place to buy regret medicine. This matter has changed. Come, let's drink."

The tavern was full of people drinking and drinking.

Xu Deyong glanced at Xu Huizhen, who was smiling on the counter. Vladimir was "confessing" to her again. Foreigners' love is always expressed so directly, with no implicit beauty at all!
The same goes for doing and loving!
Everyone was no longer so surprised by his words.

Xu Huizhen responded with ease and refused gracefully. After all, the two countries were in the "honeymoon period" and could not be too disrespectful.

Although Vladimir helped Irina through this crisis, there were also cracks in the relationship between the two, and he had begun to express his love for Xu Huizhen before.

Xu Deyong was already a little unhappy with this guy.

Of course, the most unhappy person at this time was Fan Jinyou.

This guy is writing a self-criticism at the neighborhood committee. He drank some wine during the day and fell asleep while writing.

The director's wife came in and knocked on the table and said, "Hey, is Fan Jin sober?"

Fan Jinyou opened his eyes and rubbed them, still a little dazed.

The director's wife said angrily: "I have reported your problem to Director Li, saying that you maliciously slandered the private manager and exposed that your consciousness is not as good as that of an ordinary citizen."

He said to the deputy director next to him: "I will hold a neighborhood committee branch meeting tonight to discuss his punishment."

"Okay." The deputy director agreed.

"Snapped!"

Fan Jinyou suddenly became excited, slapped the table and said: "This is not fair, why do you always favor Xu Huizhen?"

The director's wife frowned and said, "What are you doing!"

"What do you want to do?" The deputy director said with a cold face: "Fan Jin, let me tell you, if you are dishonest, don't blame me for making trouble about your hometown."

The director's wife said: "This is a class mark!"

Fan Jinyou was immediately frightened, and quickly slapped his head and said: "I, I haven't sobered up yet."

He helped the two of them sit down and said, "Auntie, please sit down. Why do I, Fan Jin, do so many things? I do this to defend the dignity of our street and our neighborhood committee."

The director and his wife looked at each other in confusion.

Fan Jinyou continued: "Why is Xu Huizhen so popular? In the same tavern, people come and go when she is there, but no one comes when she is not there. Why?"

"Why do you say?"

"One reason." Fan Jinyou said: "Widow, there are many disputes in front of the widow. She just showed off her charming charm, and even Da Su was captured..."

This guy said a lot of high-sounding words, and also claimed that he would go to the city to complain to the leaders, saying that the public-private partnership was based on coquettishness.

The director's wife frowned and said, "What you say must be supported by evidence."

"Why is there no evidence?" Fan Jinyou said confidently: "Now go and see who are the people surrounding Xu Huizhen...!"

Another bunch of rumors, and people who often go to the tavern to drink were ordered next to each other.

The director's wife said angrily: "Fan Jinyou, shut up. I don't believe what you say. I'm going to the tavern to take a look now."

……

The lively atmosphere in the tavern at this time could not be stopped.

Vladimir stood up and said: "Come, my dear friends, let me dance the dance of friendship together."

Chen Xueru stood up without any stage fright and said softly: "Okay, Vladimir, I'll dance with you."

Vladimir shrugged and said with a smile: "Oh, Manager Xueru, my friend, actually I would rather dance with my dear Manager Huizhen."

Chen Xueru pretended to be angry and said, "Then I won't jump anymore."

Xu Huizhen smiled and waved her hands: "I really don't dance, I'm still at work. And Vladimir, don't ask me to add "dear" in the future, we are also friends."

"Haha." Chen Xueru said with a smile: "Vladimir, you have been rejected. I think you should give up."

Vladimir said: "It's okay. True love always has to wait. Come on, let's jump."

Xu Hesheng blinked and stood up and said, "Then I'll sing for you."

Vladimir smiled and said: "That would be great. It would be even more perfect if there is music accompaniment."

Xu Hesheng stood in the audience and sang Dasu songs, while Chen Xueru and Vladimir danced Dasu dance.

"...Katyusha stood on the steep bank, singing like bright spring..."

At this time, a harmonica-accompanied music sounded, and everyone followed the sound and saw Xu Deyong playing the harmonica where he was sitting.

Everyone's eyes lit up with expressions of surprise and admiration, and they became even more happy while listening and watching.

Vladimir and Chen Xueru danced even more enthusiastically when they heard the music accompaniment.

Xu Hesheng suddenly felt that he could not sing with enthusiasm. He glanced at Xu Huizhen and found that Xu Huizhen was looking at Xu Deyong with almond-shaped eyes, showing a trace of affection.

Well, it seems like I’m completely out of luck, so I’d better let someone introduce me to someone else!

After singing the song, he forced a smile and sat back down feeling a little frustrated.

"it is good……!"

"Dance well, sing well, play well..."

……

Everyone in the tavern cheered.

"Deyong is awesome!" Qiangzi looked excited and proud, and said to others: "Hey, Deyong is my friend..."

Cai Quanwu grinned and gave him a thumbs up.

People nearby also praised him.

Xu Deyong gestured with his fists in hand.

Chen Xueru jumped up and hugged Vladimir. When she saw Xu Huizhen looking at Xu Deyong, she rolled her eyes, walked to Xu Deyong and pulled him up and said: "Okay, Xu Deyong, you are not a friend enough, what else do you have?" I don’t know what to say!”

Xu Deyong knew that Xu Huizhen must be looking at her without looking.

He smiled, quietly broke away from Chen Xueru's hand and said, "Manager Xueru, please give me a thumbs up." Vladimir also came over and hugged Xu Deyong, and said with a smile: "Xu, you are really good at making things for others. Surprise, I also want to thank you again for Elena’s matter, and I want to treat you to a drink tonight.”

Chen Xueru suddenly joked: "Yeah, Deyong, how come I suddenly discovered that you are really good, and I like you a little bit, haha..."

As he spoke, he smiled coquettishly, making it impossible to tell the truth from the lie.

"Oh..." Everyone heard that it was a joke, so they still cheered.

Vladimir smiled and said: "You like Xu Deyong, I like Xu Huizhen."

Qiangzi said at this time: "Xu Huizhen is a flower in our alley, but this flower...doesn't belong to you!"

"You are so cautious," Vladimir said.

"Hahaha……."

Everyone in the tavern laughed.

Xu Deyong did as he wished and carefully made a note for him in his heart.

The director's wife frowned at this scene.

Xu Huizhen noticed the director's wife in the crowd and quickly smiled and said: "The director is here, please give up your seat!"

"No, no need." The director said with a serious smile on her face: "I'm not here to drink today, I'm here to announce something."

After that, she said to Xu Huizhen beside her: "Huizhen, I'm sorry for not saying hello to you in advance."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "It's okay, it's okay."

The director aunt announced: "Fan Jinyou has been dismissed, but the position of public manager cannot be left vacant. The neighborhood committee held a meeting and decided that accountant Zhao Yali will concurrently serve as public manager of the tavern."

"I..." Zhao Yali said in surprise.

"That's right, it's you." said the director's wife.

Everyone in the tavern didn't have a good sense of Zhao Yali. They had different expressions and no one responded.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Okay, okay, everyone applauds!"

As he spoke, he took the lead in applauding, and everyone also applauded in response to Mianzi.

The director of the tavern pressed her hands and lamented the bumpy road of public-private partnership in the tavern, and then let everyone continue to drink happily.

Before leaving, let Zhao Yali come out.

In the tavern, Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Deyong, Teacher Xu, you can play and sing another one for everyone."

Xu Hesheng felt a little depressed and waved his hands and said: "I won't sing anymore. Let's all sing together. I'll give you a start. Come on, be bold and high-spirited..."

"...to maintain peace and for the motherland is to protect our hometown..."

Everyone sang along, and the excitement spread from the windows of the tavern.

Outside, the director's wife was giving instructions to Zhao Yali, telling her that her new job was to focus on two issues, one was the management of the tavern, and the other was Xu Huizhen's personal issues.

The meaning behind the words was to ask Xu Huizhen to find someone to marry as soon as possible, which would be good for everyone, so as to avoid rumors of a public-private partnership of young widows soliciting customers, and no one could bear the responsibility.

Zhao Yali was a little confused: "But Xu Hui really has a few days left to observe her filial piety!"

The director's wife said: "Now is a new society. Seven issues are enough. It's been such a long time. You can just make some innuendo. In short, this matter must be resolved as soon as possible."

Zhao Yali nodded and said: "Okay, I understand. I will talk to her after get off work tomorrow."

……

Xu Deyong glanced outside the room and already knew what the two were talking about. In the play, Xu Huizhen later set up a literacy class firstly to respond to national policies and secondly to examine Xu Hesheng.

Now that Xu Hesheng has been eliminated, Xu Huizhen may not be so enthusiastic about setting up literacy classes.

This isn't going to work. Let's see if she can't do it herself.

There are so many benefits to setting up a literacy class, which is like adding another layer of insurance to her and the tavern.

What's more important is that she can convince Zhao Yali. If this girl doesn't go through this, she will definitely put a lot of pressure on Xu Huizhen in the management of the tavern. She should just be an obedient accountant!
Moreover, without setting up literacy classes, how could Cai Quanwu get ahead?

This is also his compensation for Cai Quanwu, so that he can have clear ideas!

……

In the evening, Xu Deyong returned to the courtyard.

Xu Nanshi smelled the smell of alcohol on his body and said angrily: "You went to drink again. If you have this skill, you can find a girl to talk to. Isn't freedom of marriage popular now?"

Xu Deyong rolled his eyes, took out fifty cents and put it on the table, smiling and saying: "Grandma, I really want to talk to someone, what should you do if you object?"

Xu Nanshi immediately said: "As long as you are suitable and of the same age, I have absolutely no objection. Of course, you must be from a decent family."

"Are they of the same age and from a decent family?" Xu Deyong raised his eyes and asked.

"Whatever you can find will be enough." Xu Nan said, she was also a little anxious to avenge her great-grandson.

She agreed so quickly that she never imagined that Xu Deyong had different hobbies...

Xu Deyong smiled. Xu Hui really met this condition.

However, this matter cannot be revealed all at once. It must be graded and given to the old lady for a process of acceptance.

He blinked and said, "Grandma, I might as well tell you that my grandson has indeed taken a liking to one recently."

Xu Nanshi suddenly showed surprise, put down what she was doing, and said quickly: "Where is she? Whose girl is she? How old is she? What do you do? How did you meet her? What's going on at home?"

Xu Deyong was a little confused by this series of questions, and grinned: "That... is less than a year older than me. He works in a public-private joint tavern. I met him when I was selling goods. We walked over there on Qianmen Street. A little far..."

Xu Nanshi immediately smiled and said: "Not far, not far, not far at all. Are you a girl from the city?"

"Probably..." Xu Deyong wrinkled his nose unnaturally and said, "Well, no, this matter has not been approved by you, and I haven't discussed it in depth with you yet..."

Xu Nan's face suddenly boasted: "Not only have you not written a single stroke of the horoscope, you have not even dipped it in ink. You are teasing grandma in vain!"

"Hehe..." Xu Deyong said with a playful smile: "Shouldn't I ask you first? If not in a few days, I will take you to take a look. If..."

Xu Nanshi immediately said: "What are you doing for a while? Tomorrow, tomorrow, you can take grandma over to have a look."

Xu Deyong touched his chin and said, "Well, I think he is very busy recently..."

"Then take me to the tavern for a drink and watch it on the way. I asked you why you often come back late after drinking these days. It turns out there is something wrong with you." Xu Nan said happily.

Xu Deyong shook his head and said: "No, people will definitely see you this way. What will they think if they find out in the future? You have to take a few sneak peeks from a distance to prevent discovery."

Xu Nanshi thought for a while and nodded: "That's indeed the truth. Then hurry up. In fact, I don't know whether it is secondary or not. The main thing is that you two are suitable for each other..."

Xu Deyong snickered and said, "Then why don't you just stop watching?"

Xu Nanshi glared at him and said, "You've already said it, let's take a look!"

"Okay, you always have the final say."

Things have to be faced eventually, and this step must be taken!
Humanity can progress because the next generation does not listen to the previous generation.
