Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 107 Congrats congratulations
After a short piece of nice music, the woman's singing voice sounded:
every street and alley
everyone's mouth
first meeting
just congratulations
congratulations congratulations congratulations
congratulations congratulations congratulations

Winter has come to an end…

……

This song "Congratulations, Congratulations" is a Chinese song composed by Chen Gexin and sung by Yao Li and Yao Min. It was released in 1945.It was originally created to celebrate the country's victory in the Anti-Japanese War.

What he wanted to describe was nothing else, but the scene of the Chinese people finally coming to the end of the suffering after years of war and welcoming victory.

Later, it gradually evolved into a New Year's greeting song and was sung by many people.

When Xu Nan heard the sound of singing, she couldn't help but smile on her old face and said: "Haha, I really made a sound, the singing is so beautiful."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Congratulations, you can always listen to your heart's content from now on."

Xu Nanshi smiled and said: "Fuck you, you can't always listen to this. People have to work and eat, and this can't be used as food."

Xu Deyong said: "It can't be eaten as rice, but it can be eaten as a meal. The food will be more fragrant and tender."

The music is singing, which seems to bring a touch of color to this cold and lonely winter...

"Hey, there's some sound, I heard someone singing..."

"It's sung by a woman...and a man..."

"Don't crowd, don't crowd..."

……

At this time, there was a muffled voice outside.

Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiekuang and other half-grown men had already been itching to eavesdrop.

When He Yuyu saw it, he leaned over curiously and listened. A look of surprise suddenly appeared on the little girl's face.

There is singing!
When He Yuzhu came back, he saw a group of people gathered at the door of Xu Deyong's house. He smiled and said, "Hey, what are you eavesdropping on?"

Xu Deyong glanced at his grandma and went over to open the door. A group of boys immediately squeezed in, each scratching their heads and giggling, but their eyes were fixed on the gramophone in the room.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Come in and listen for a while and then go home to eat. No noise or crowding is allowed."

Naturally, everyone was very happy. They all came in and gathered around the gramophone, watching the tray rotate, the stylus scratching the record, and beautiful music came out!
Everyone expressed surprise and intoxication.

Oops, the voice just came out, and the singing was so nice!

After a while, the aunt also came in to join in the fun. There were more and more people, and many of them blocked Xu Deyong's door again.

"Who sang this!"

"Singing so beautifully!"

"Listen again."

"Yes, play it again."

……

Until dark, everyone's enthusiasm remained unabated. After listening to singing and opera.

Although Xu Nanshi was very happy and her vanity was satisfied, she couldn't even cook because people were crowding around her home.

After the song was finished, she said: "Okay, okay, it's getting late and the meal hasn't been cooked at home yet. It's time for everyone to go back to eat."

Everyone was frightened by the power of the grandfather and grandson, so they had no choice but to reluctantly leave, and turned back three times to go out.

Everyone thinks to themselves: It would be great to have one at home!
He Yuzhu and He Yuyu were so close that they waited until the end before leaving.

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said with envy: "Deyong, how much did you spend on this thing?"

Xu Nan's eyelids rolled up and she said, "It's useless to ask. How much money did you spend on it? If you don't know how to repair it, it's just a decoration."

He Yuzhu muttered: "Hey, let me ask. I heard that a brand new one costs hundreds of yuan!"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "I can't afford it if it's new."

He Yuyu was humming quietly, seeming to be memorizing the melody and lyrics.

Back at home, everyone was discussing the songs on the gramophone. The children only remembered "Congratulations, congratulations" and laughed to each other.

When the eldest mother entered the house, she started chatting: "Hey, that gramophone sings so well. Listen to it when you have to cook and put the soles on your shoes. Your life is not like that of a god."

Yi Zhonghai had also listened outside for a while before, and said with a straight face when he heard this: "Those people who listen to it every day have never seen them become gods. Don't envy them, live your own life well."

The eldest mother said angrily: "I'm just describing it, you just pretend not to understand, you have to go online..."

……

When Xiao Banggeng got home, he was eager to show off to Jia Zhang: "Hey, uncle Yong...singing is really nice..."

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "You can eat it if it sounds good? You don't even cook, and I don't know what else to do!" Jia Dongxu said, "Mom, Huairu and I just watched the fun. , Don’t tell me, this Xu Deyong is really smart, he can repair that broken gramophone, but you didn’t listen to it, and the songs he sang are so good..."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt even more prickly and said irritably: "I don't care to listen. Yes, Xu Deyong is great. Why don't you give Mom a try? That way Mom can straighten her waist when she goes out."

Qin Huairu went to cook in silence. She couldn't afford to offend this mother-in-law.

Jia Dongxu said with a bit of scorn: "Mom, my abilities are different, so you can't show me any face!"

"Hmph!" Mrs. Jia Zhang said: "I will save your face, but who will save my face? You must study hard for me. At least you must have the skills of Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong. Mom is in this courtyard Only then can you raise your head.”

Jia Dongxu said helplessly: "Okay, my son will definitely work hard."

The little boy blinked his eyes, hugged his precious toy and went to find his mother...

……

"laugh……."

He struck a match in his bangs, lit up a Pegasus cigarette happily, raised his head and took a puff, saying: "That Xu Deyong's gramophone, if I don't repair the winding, it will never make any sound."

Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu secretly pouted, you are so awesome, why don't you come back together.

However, they still looked like "Dad, you are so awesome" and deliberately took a few puffs of second-hand smoke.

Don't think about it!

The second aunt admired: "You are still very capable as the head of the family. Xu Deyong can fix that thing... the gramophone, thanks to you..."

Liu Haizhong nodded, with a touch of complacency on his face.

The second aunt continued: "In that case, can you borrow it for us to listen to for a few days?"

Liu Haizhong's expression froze, and then he said angrily: "I can borrow it, but can you use it? How much will you have to pay if it gets damaged?"

The second aunt blinked her eyes and said, "That's right. It's broken and easy to repair, so it's easy for something to go wrong. We don't want to borrow it. I want to go to his house to listen."

"Ahem..." Liu Haizhong coughed and said, "You are the second aunt after all, so you must have some respect. You are not a child, so don't go there all the time."

The second aunt said sadly: "Okay then..."

……

Except for Yan Jiecheng, who went to junior high school, the other five members of the Yan Bugui family returned neatly. This kind of free-for-nothing thing would not be possible without one of them.

When he got home, Yan Bugui was still humming the opera he had heard before.

The three children were not interested in opera, so they laughed and said "congratulations, congratulations" to each other.

The third aunt said with envy: "Hey, Xu Deyong's house is full of everything without realizing it. Although they are all second-hand, they don't hinder their use at all. No one in our courtyard can compare with it. That old lady Nan is enjoying a lot." Here you go."

Yan Bugui's little eyes shrewdly said: "It's good to enjoy the blessings. From now on, I'll visit you often in the evening, and I'll take advantage of others' blessings."

Yan Jiefangren Xiaoguidao said: "Dad, you are an adult now, so don't go there all the time, otherwise you will annoy Grandma Nan and Brother Deyong and harm us children."

Yan Jiekuang echoed: "Brother is right, what if Brother Deyong gets angry and no one is allowed to go?"

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Go away, why did I raise the two of you who only care about yourself and not your parents? Let me tell you, I remember every penny you spent. When you grow up, you have to pay back the work." .”

The two brothers immediately shrank their necks, looked at each other and said nothing. They chanted sutras like a bastard and refused to listen.

Yan Jiedi didn't say a word, but she was indispensable...

……

The gramophone is also inseparable from other topics at the dinner table.

In the evening, Xu Deyong taught Xu Nan how to use the gramophone.

Xu Nanshi changed one after another and never tired of it...

The world is full of smoke and fire, and everything lasts forever.

The next day, Xu Deyong got up early to exercise. He was still nostalgic. He kept saying that he wanted to change the stone, but it never was.

New cars are exciting to drive, old cars are comfortable to drive, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.

He Yuzhu watched his sister sneak into Xu Deyong's house early in the morning and rolled his eyes angrily.

This cheap sister eats at home, while her brother doesn't clean up the house, but works for others, so it's all in vain.

In the house, He Yuyu was happily sweeping the floor, listening to songs, smearing honey on his lips and chatting with Xu Nanshi.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Deyong who was exercising and couldn't help but said with a hint of resentment: "Hey, Deyong, why don't my sister give you a child bride..."
