Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 162 Lying down?
  After eating, Xu Deyong and the others bought some fruits and vegetables, which were sold by farmers from nearby suburbs.

At this time, rural transactions were relatively free. A few days ago, the State Council issued the "Joint Instructions on Diligent and Thrifty Cooperatives," requiring cooperatives in various regions to "open up production channels, develop sideline production, and engage in diversified operations."

This directive made important preparations for the opening of the rural free market.

As long as it is not a large-scale unified purchase and sale of materials, no one will delve into even a small amount of grain transactions.

The country also wants to revitalize the market, but everyone is trying to cross the river by feeling for the stones.

In short, from now to next summer, the circulation of goods in rural areas will be relatively loose, the economy will be active, and farmers' income will increase.

As a result, small traders and hawkers disappeared in the cities due to public-private partnerships, and self-employment flourished in the countryside.

……

At this time, the looseness at the upper levels was reflected in the lower levels, that is, the materials that people could buy were relatively cheap and plentiful, and temple fairs and markets were also very lively.

At about two o'clock in the afternoon, the green grass was stepped on and the kites were flown. After eating, drinking and having fun, Xiao Lier woke up again.

Xu Deyong and Xu Huizhen talked and laughed, packed their things, and rode on the cart, "Both husband and wife returned the home."

At this time, a woman came down from the bus stop in the distance with two boys and a girl.

"Hey, hey, isn't that Brother Deyong!" said the sharp-eyed Yan Jiefang, who was about to shout hello.

The third aunt hurriedly pulled him and said: "Don't shout, I didn't see that they were busy. Please hold your hand, otherwise you will go home now. As we agreed before coming, we will go back after watching the excitement for a while. Who is going back?" If you work harder than a foreigner, your broom will be full of knots."

Yan Jiekuang's eyes were sharp and curious: "Mom, who is Brother Deyong bringing? Is it the wife he is looking for?"

The third aunt didn't think that way, after all, Xu Huizhen was holding the child.

Hearing what his son said, he looked at the two of them chatting and laughing as they walked away, and he also muttered a little: Could it be that this boy found a widow with a child? Or did you hook up with a sweetheart?

……

Xu Deyong couldn't eavesdrop on people's thoughts, so he naturally didn't know what people far away were thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care.

The two returned to the tavern home. Xu Deyong took the things out of the car and bought two portions of a lot of food. Xu Deyong went back to get one portion.

Xu Huizhen put Li'er on the small bed and came out: "We don't have much wine. You have to go there again in two days."

Xu Deyong smiled and nodded and said, "Sure, I'll just have a drink with Brother Hui Sol."

Xu Huizhen looked at Xu Deyong and said hesitantly: "Deyong, in fact, from now on you will help the tavern buy wine and help the kitchen buy goods. You don't have to work so hard every day."

Xu Deyong walked over with a smile and said: "Why, you want to support me!"

Xu Huizhen raised her chin slightly, and said in a coquettish voice: "Why, do you think I can't afford it, or do you think you are embarrassed by being a male chauvinist? From now on... we will always have someone to take care of our children. Children are the future, and they are more important than making money. If you If you feel shameless, I will let you be the private manager of this tavern."

Xu Deyong looked at her lively look and couldn't help but hold her hand and said: "The tavern has your hard work today. Besides, with your temperament, if you stay at home and take care of the children, you will definitely not be willing to do it. Then you will be there every three days." If you lose your temper with me, I won’t be the one to suffer..."

Xu Huizhen said unhappily: "I wouldn't do that."

"Okay, okay." Xu Deyong touched his little hand and said, "You are the most virtuous, right? As the saying goes, dumplings are not as delicious as dumplings, and lying down is as comfortable as lying down. I will lie down at home and take care of the baby."

Xu Huizhen punched him angrily and said: "Who told you to lie down? From now on, all the dirty work at home will be yours, and you can earn more than ten yuan a month just by working in the tavern. I will give you all the money." Grandma Hua, it’s best to convince your grandma to come and live with us, and we can honor her as an elderly person together.”

Xu Deyong used a little force to pull her into his arms amidst Xu Huizhen's gentle cries. He hugged her around the waist and said with a smile, "How could such a good wife let me fall in love with you, hehe."

Xu Huizhen put her arms on his chest, her pretty face flushed, and she said a little fiercely: "Not yet, let me go quickly, don't be a hooligan."

Xu Deyong looked at her little mouth with burning eyes and said, "Why don't I let go!"

As he spoke, his head slowly lowered...

"Boom bang bang."

At this time, there was a knock on the door outside, and He Yumei's voice came: "Sister Huizhen..."

Xu Huizhen immediately broke away from him, glanced down with her almond-shaped eyes and said angrily: "You deserve it!"

After that, I straightened my clothes and walked out to open the door.

Xu Deyong shrugged, blame me, who made you look like you have important information? Of course I want to know if you are strict with your mouth, and if necessary, control it and torture it...!
  Outside, Xu Huizhen and He Yumei murmured for a while and then went out. They thought it was Zhao Yali who came back.

Xu Deyong blew on the windmill and let it rotate and beat the drums. He made Xiao Li'er smile and said, "Li'er, how about we lie down together and let your mother take care of us!"

"Giggle..."

Xiao Lierle waved her little hand.

"Hey, you agreed without saying anything." Xu Deyong said with a smile: "When you grow up later, you can support me and your mother, so that I can continue to sleep peacefully!"

Xiao Li'er ignored him. Seeing that the windmill stopped spinning, Xiao Li'er pouted as if he was learning to blow. It was a bit cute and silly. Seeing Xu Deyong, he couldn't help but be happy!

……

In the evening, Xu Nan returned to the courtyard with a strange expression.

Yan Bugui and his family joined the battle, smashing the briquettes into powder one by one. They were calculating and calculating, and finally they were included in the calculation.

When the third aunt saw Xu Nan, her eyes rolled, and she couldn't help but stop and whisper: "Hey, Aunt Nan, does Deyong have someone you like?"

Xu Nanshi was absent-minded. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment and said immediately: "Who did you listen to?"

Seeing Xu Nan's reaction, the three aunts were all crazy, how could they not guess that co-authorship was indeed a thing!
  The third aunt blinked and said: "I didn't hear anyone say it. I went to the temple fair and saw Deyong and a woman very close. The key is that the woman was holding a child..."

As he spoke, he shook his head and whispered: "Speaking of which, Deyong is also a talented person. You have to remind him that others are being seduced!"

Xu Nanshi said angrily: "What's wrong with seducing? Don't speak so harshly to his third aunt. Her husband is dead. She is young and beautiful with a little baby girl. She is an activist in the street and her conditions are good!"

The third aunt smiled and said: "I just said it for the sake of being Yong."

Xu Nan was in a bad mood. As a grandmother, she was naturally not like Xu Deyong finding a widow with a small oil bottle; but as a street worker, she should not object due to the publicity and education she had received.

Moreover, Xu Huizhen's reputation is well-known in the streets.

She rolled her eyelids and said: "In order to be mediocre, stop chewing your tongue. Hum, I don't have to guess, it won't take long for the whole hospital to know!"

After that, he walked quickly to the courtyard.

The third aunt muttered angrily: "I only mentioned it to the second aunt and didn't tell anyone else."

Yan Bugui said without raising his head: "Don't be too hot-tempered and cold-hearted. Work hard. But if Xu Deyong finds a widow with a child, I would still be a little surprised...!"

"What did you say, third uncle? Xu Deyong found a widow with a child!"

Suddenly, Jia Zhang's voice suddenly appeared.

Yan Bugui: "..."

He adjusted his glasses with his hand and said, "No, I didn't say that. You must have heard wrong!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang said reluctantly: "No, I heard it clearly. It's true or false. Please tell me what's going on." Yan Bugui doesn't speak. He is a scholar, how can he be a talkative woman!
  The third aunt took over the conversation and said: "Aunt Jia, what's going on? Whether it's true or not, you'll know later. It's useless for you to ask now. Also, don't talk nonsense everywhere, you may look mediocre. Easy to talk to..., well, you know this best."

Jia Zhang: "..."

I know his grandma's legs.

"Humph." She snorted coldly, wagging her rump like an old hen and walked away.

Yan Bugui blinked his eyes and complained: "Yes, if she hears it, not only the courtyard will know, but also the alleys will know. What do you think you are talking about all day long? If Xu Deyong gets angry later, he won't lend us the briquettes." What to do with the mold!”

The third aunt muttered: "I'm not lying..."

Yan Bugui said: "Don't talk about that. Anyway, you can borrow the mold later."

……

People are quiet at first, and the moon is bright.

Xu Deyong rode his cart leisurely back to the courtyard, parked the car, and walked home with large and small bags in his hands.

Yan Bugui's family was "burning the midnight oil to fight", and everyone was disgraced.

"Hey, the third uncle is busy." Xu Deyong greeted.

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Deyong is back, he seems to be making a lot of money now!"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Where is it? Where is it? It's just enough to chew. You are busy."

After Xu Deyong left, the third aunt said with envy: "Deyong's life is really good. He has spare money to buy these old things. During the day, I saw that the girl was still wearing silk and leather shoes. The family must be rich."

Yan Jiefang swallowed and said, "I saw a rose cake."

Yan Jiekuang said: "It seems there are also shrimps and toon buds."

"Dad, Mom, I want to eat shrimp..." Yan Jiedi said weakly.

Yan Fugui said angrily: "Everyone wants to eat your shit, but the law of life is to be happy with your wealth, accumulate wealth first, enjoy it later, wait until you grow up and make money before you eat it."

Yan Jiefang slumped his shoulders and sighed: "Hey, when will we grow up? I really want to grow up tomorrow and go out to make money."

Yan Fugui said meaningfully: "I think so too, but I won't think so when you grow up."

……

When Xu Deyong returned home, the old lady was sitting in the room, lost in thought, not even listening to her favorite radio.

He couldn't help but feel a little distressed when he saw it and said: "Grandma, you haven't eaten yet. I'll make this for you today. I bought toon sprouts and spread out the toon egg pancakes."

Xu Nanshi glanced at him and said, "Come here."

Xu Deyong obediently walked over and squatted down.

Xu Nanshi touched his head, sighed and said: "If you really like her, we can discuss marrying her later. Understand that it is marriage. Although she is rich, we will not come to her."

"Grandma." Xu Deyong held Xu Nanshi's hand and was touched.

Xu Nan smiled to herself and said, "Anyway, we are the only two people left in our family, so we are not afraid of other people's criticism. Besides, that woman is pretty good. She has no other problems except that she is married and has children."

"When you were like this before, if I could find one like this, I would really burn incense; before liberation, it was your old Xu family's ancestral graves that were smoking!"

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "I've taken the risk now, otherwise how could I have turned back."

"That's right!" Xu Nanshi said with a smile: "I am old and I have to be satisfied. If I can hug my great-grandson later, I can just close my eyes!"

Xu Deyong said: "Giving birth, I will give birth next year, and I will have my great-great-grandson in another twenty years."

Xu Nan said: "It's too far, I don't want to."

Xu Nanshi rambled on for a long time, as if she was thinking about it, and she seemed to be convincing herself...

……

The next day, Xu Deyong got up to exercise in a relaxed mood.

Grandma agreed that nothing else mattered. Labor Day was approaching and it was a good day. She would discuss it with Xu Huizhen later and it would not be a bad idea to get married on this day.

Hoho, I finally have to say goodbye to being single!
  Hey yo, hey yo, feelings require not only effort, but also strength. Now that I have both heart and strength, I just want to be strong with each other!
  He Yuzhu came out yawning, and when he saw the smile on Xu Deyong's face, he couldn't help but curled his lips and said: "Deyong, what are you doing for fun? I thought you said you were looking for someone, but it turned out that you were looking for a leader. Widow of children.”

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "How do you know?"

He Yuzhu said: "Listen to what others say, why, you still have to hide it and hide it from others!"

Xu Deyong said calmly: "It's natural. This is the first time you said that I don't know you. I will bring it back to you in a few days. Don't be envious then!"

He Yuzhu said: "Hey, I don't envy you. How much better can a widow be? Let me find you a sister-in-law later."

Xu Deyong glanced at him sideways and said, "If you scream like a widow in front of me again, be careful I slap you!"

"Hehe!" He Yuzhu twitched the corner of his mouth and said with a smile: "You will come out as soon as you are bald, and you will never do it again in the future."

But he muttered in his heart: "Sun thief, grandpa will definitely find someone better than you in the future!"

"Hmph!" Xu Deyong snorted coldly: "I am convinced but I am not convinced at heart. It's not that I underestimate you. If you want to find a wife within seven or eight years, you will only think about it in your dreams."

"Don't talk nonsense. My salary is low now. I will definitely find a wife when I become a regular worker. In three years, at most, I will find the most beautiful wife in the whole hospital."

This guy said it without any shame.

Xu Deyong said with a faint smile: "Make a bet?"

He Yuzhu: "..."

He gritted his teeth and said, "How to fight?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "If you get married within three years, I will give you three yuan. After three years, for every year that passes, you will have to give me one yuan."

He Yuzhu endured it again and again, and was about to agree.

When He Yuyu heard that he had put on his clothes, he opened the door and exposed his head and said: "Brother, don't bet with Brother Deyong, I have no confidence in you!"

He Yuzhu: "..."

Damn, why don’t you give this sister away?
  Seeing that he stopped talking, Xu Deyong ignored him and opened the blind box at will after the exercise...
