Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 164 Negotiation
  Elena smiled and said hello first: "Hello, Officer Fan."

Chen Xueru glanced at him and chuckled: "He is now a cook in the cafeteria and cannot be called Cadre Fan."

Elena shrugged and said, "Sorry, I just came back and didn't know yet. I didn't mean to be sarcastic."

Xu Huizhen sat up and said calmly: "Fan Jinyou, what are you doing here?"

Fan Jinyou's mouth twitched. Each of these three ladies must have teamed up to deliberately "hit the cymbals" with him!

Elena...can't afford to offend her, no chance.

Xu Huizhen... He is now working under her nose. It seems that he has completely colluded with Xu Deyong. He is not easy to mess with. It seems that he has no chance.

Chen Xueru... this girl is snobbish. When she was a cadre, she was very pleased with her. It seemed that she could taste some sweetness. But when she was fucked, she would fall out of favor faster than flipping through a book.

Huh, don't let me take the chance!

He said with a straight face: "The pickles in the cafeteria are gone. The director is here to find you. Also, as a cook, I remind Manager Xu that it is already working time."

Xu Huizhen said calmly: "I understand, let's get over it."

Fan Jinyou secretly gritted his teeth and turned around to leave. He was completely unconvinced. What kind of attitude did he have? He was just a private manager, and he looked down on others!
  Chen Xueru turned her peach blossom eyes and said, "Huizhen, why do you still keep him? Be careful he bites you secretly."

Xu Huizhen stood up and said, "It was arranged by the street. What can I do?"

After that, he looked at her and said nothing.

Chen Xueru raised her eyelids too much and looked at her twice, "surprised" and said, "What's wrong? Look at what I'm doing. Is there something on my face?"

Xu Huizhen said: "I'm going to the tavern."

"Oh!" Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and said, "It's okay. You don't have to entertain us. You can go ahead. We'll lie down in your courtyard for a while and help you take care of the child."

Xu Deyong blinked, this girl is pretending not to know how to apply eye drops to Xu Huizhen!

Xu Huizhen didn't break up with her. She walked to Xu Deyong, gave him the money she took from Chen Xueru, and said softly: "You haven't eaten yet. I'll go to the cafeteria to get you some later."

"Yeah." Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Just go ahead and do your work, leave it to me."

Seeing this, Elena said: "I really envy your life. The stable life in this small courtyard is not like the hard work of Xueru and me, who often have to travel and travel."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "I can't compare with you. You are all busy people. I'll go over and take a look first. If you need anything, you can tell Deyong."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes secretly when she heard this. Why did she show off? She just found a man!
  Xu Huizhen picked up the small bamboo bag and was about to leave. Elena seemed to have discovered a new world again and said: "Huizhen, where did you buy your small bag? Can I see it?"

Chen Xueru glanced at it. It was just a bag. She always used a small, stylish leather bag.

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Of course."

He said and handed the bamboo bag in his hand to her.

Elena looked at it and was surprised: "Are these materials all made of bamboo? I thought they were just bamboo joints for the handles. This kind of bamboo bag is very popular even in the West. I didn't expect that you are using bamboo to make these bags." of."

"Can you tell me where you bought it? I think there should be a market for it when I take it home!"

Speaking of business, Chen Xueru also became a little interested.

Xu Huizhen glanced at Xu Deyong, and said with a touch of affection in her eyes: "To tell you the truth, Deyong personally made this up and gave it to me."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes when she heard this, hey, did you make it up by yourself? Amazing?
  So angry!
  "Oh." Elena's eyes lit up and she said, "Really, Xu, you made this up?"

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "Well, it takes a long time to compile one. If you want to sell it as a commodity, it requires a lot of people to work together. I can't help."

Elena was a little disappointed and said: "Okay, but can you make up a similar one for me? Of course I will pay you."

Chen Xueru interjected casually: "If you make up a story for Elena, make one up for me as well. Just treat it as taking care of your business."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly when he heard this and said, "Okay, but it will take seven or eight days or more."

When Elena heard that it would take so long, she gave up her thoughts and thought of it as meeting something she liked.

There is a market for exquisite bamboo products, but they are a niche market after all. However, with the current traffic and blockade environment, it is too difficult to sell them.

He was afraid that if Elena messed up and let the superiors set up a knitting factory or something, it would turn into a mess after "turning against each other"...

It's a pity that the things from our ancestors have been passed down to the younger generation, but they have been carried forward and become the mainstream. People really pay more attention to craftsmen, which is hard to say.

Elena returned the bag to Xu Huizhen, who took it and left with a smile.

Chen Xueru pouted at her back and said lazily after she went out: "Deyong, when do you plan to get married?"

Xu Deyong hugged Xiao Li'er and sat on the bamboo rocking chair. He put Xiao Li'er on his chest and the bamboo chair shook as he said, "Of course two people need to discuss this kind of matter."

Xiao Li'er lay on Xu Deyong's chest, swaying with curiosity in his eyes, and then started to flutter happily.

"Giggle..."

Laughter heals.

Elena tilted her head and looked at it with a smile: "The baby looks very cute and fun. Why don't I give birth to one as well for fun?"

Chen Xueru said angrily: "It won't be fun after you give birth. Confinement period is really like going to jail. The baby is still crying and fussing, and he won't let anyone sleep in the middle of the night. Fortunately, my mother will take care of me afterwards, otherwise I would go crazy. .”

Elena looked at Xiao Li'er who was "giggling" while playing with Xu Deyong, and said, "I think Xu's parenting is pretty good, and we don't need confinement!"

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes and joked: "Hey, a man has no future if he takes care of his children. Xu Deyong, let me tell you, don't be angry. Are you looking for a wife or a marriage?"

Okay, after this girl put the eye drops on Xu Huizhen, she also applied it on herself. Is this girl going to be her aunt or something?

You can't be angry with this bitch, otherwise you will fall into her trap!
  Xu Deyong said calmly: "Of course I want to marry you."

Chen Xueru raised her lips slightly and said: "Then you are really lucky. Xu Huizhen's dowry is rich enough, enough for you to have enough food and clothing without having to work. I think you can take care of your children at home from now on, and don't go out to ride a tricycle. !”

Xu Deyong chuckled and said: "Sister Xueru, your net worth is even richer. You are still working hard to make money, and I don't see you lying at home. Moreover, after marriage, two people will work together. If it is clear who has to do what, , the distinction is so clear, why should we get married? We can just find a small job!"

"You and Mr. Hou won't always be so clear-cut, right?"

"Hmph." Chen Xueru snorted and said, "I want you to take care of it."

Elena glanced at the two of them, her eyes thoughtful.

Xiao Li'er was swaying in the rocking chair. After the excitement and play, his little head fell asleep "little by little" in Xu Deyong's arms.

Xu Deyong hugged her gently, put her into the crib, then lifted the crib and put her into the house.

Elena said with a hint of envy: "Xu will be a good father!"

Chen Xueru muttered: "It's not like he's his biological child."

Elena shrugged and said, "That makes it even more valuable."

Chen Xueru's expression froze slightly, and she said in a tone that sounded like sour grapes: "Who knows if he is pretending on purpose..."

Elena whispered meaningfully: "Xueru, this is not the first day we have met Xu. To be honest, you are a little jealous..."

Chen Xueru immediately said: "It's a joke, why am I jealous? No one cares about it!" Irina spread her hands to show that if you say no, you won't.

This action made Chen Xueru a little irritable, and she didn't even want to stay in the courtyard.

He stood up and said: "Let's go, Elena. The master is not here, so we can't stay here all the time. Go to my silk shop and come back later to treat you to a drink."

"Okay." Elena also stood up and said with a smile: "Xu, just send the two rocking chairs directly to Xueru's silk shop."

"Of course you can send it in the evening and bring me and Xue Ru over by the way!"

Chen Xueru said: "I am now a teacher in a literacy class. I have to go to class soon, but I don't have time to take care of you."

"Ha." Elena smiled and said, "Xu, do you want to be a teacher? I will come and take a look later."

……

Xu Deyong sent the two restless women out.

These two ladies have a lot to do, but they also have a lot of money!

He took out the money and smashed it on his hand. Eight of them were worth five yuan. Most people couldn't afford this price. A prodigal woman was a good loser.

After a while, Xu Huizhen came back with steamed buns and side dishes and said: "The two of them are leaving!"

"Yes." Xu Deyong took over and said, "Let's go. I said I would come to the tavern for a drink later."

Xu Huizhen looked at him eating with almond-shaped eyes, and said with a chuckle: "Aren't you lazy at making money? Two rocking chairs can make someone else's money in a month."

Xu Deyong ate something and said vaguely: "You still have the nerve to say that if someone gives you twenty, you can take twenty."

Xu Huizhen clicked her little white teeth and said, "Why don't you give it? Don't be soft-hearted if you have the opportunity to make money from Chen Xueru. This girl wants to compete with me everywhere. Why don't you go to me?"

Xu Deyong said quickly: "Of course I am facing my wife."

Then he took out the money and said, "Hmm, hand over the money."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said, "Hey, who cares? Keep it for yourself. Besides, it's not the case yet..."

"Hehe." Xu Deyong smiled and stuffed it back into his pocket and said, "As far as your words go, my grandma has already agreed to our matter."

Xu Huizhen's eyes moved slightly and she said, "What conditions does the old lady have?"

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "I don't have any conditions. I just wanted to hold a few banquets in the courtyard and held a simple ceremony."

Xu Huizhen thought for a while and said: "You also know my situation. According to my idea, we can just get the certificate and live our lives. But the old lady has put forward conditions, so I am not afraid of showing my shame. Are you afraid of gossip in the courtyard when you get a second marriage?"

Xu Deyong said: "I am happy to marry you. If anyone dares to gossip all day long, I will beat him to death."

"What a fool!" Xu Huizhen glanced at him.

Xu Deyong smiled and continued eating to make his wife happy!

Xu Huizhen suddenly showed hesitation. After hesitating for a moment, he gritted his teeth and said, "Deyong, there is something I have to tell you in advance."

Xu Deyong said: "You say."

Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and said: "I told the outside world that He Yongqiang is dead, but you know that he is not dead, and he is still with my cousin..."

"Although my father-in-law refused to give He Yongqiang a penny from the tavern before he died, this property belongs to the He family after all. According to the marriage law, even if we get divorced, one person will have to take half."

"He is unkind, we cannot be unjust!"

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "Do you want to leave half of it for them?"

"Yes." Xu Huizhen nodded and said, "They will come sooner or later."

Xu Deyong said calmly: "I'm not greedy for the money, but I think they don't deserve it."

"I have an idea. Although Li'er's surname is Xu, half of the blood of the He family or even the entire tavern can be left to Li'er. When she grows up, it will be used as her dowry, which is better than giving it to those two white-eyed wolves. powerful!"

Xu Huizhen was speechless for a moment.

Xu Deyong saw through it at a glance and said: "You should be soft-hearted and be cruel to Xu Huizhi, thinking about the family relationship between you and her."

"Alas..." Xu Huizhen couldn't help but sigh and said, "I know what you said is the best choice, but..."

Xu Deyong held her delicate hand and said: "I understand what you are thinking. I know that you feel that you owe Mr. He and the He family. Don't worry, God will respond to your unjust actions and there will be opportunities for compensation. We can give , but they can’t just ask for it!”

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen gently pressed her forehead against his chest and said, "Am I too soft-hearted? They treat me like this, but I still can't be cruel..."

Xu Deyong gently held her waist and said: "On the surface, you seem to be stubborn and tough, but in fact you are too kind, just like you treat Fan Jinyou. If you really refuse to let him stay, he will not be able to stay." this!"

Hearing this, Xu Huizhen leaned in his arms and said, "Okay, let's do what you said first. The tavern will be used as Li'er's dowry from now on, and they will ask us later... to give some compensation."

A cold light flashed in Xu Deyong's eyes. Compensation is not that easy to get. He is petty...

……

The two were affectionate for a while, and Xu Huizhen left Xu Deyong's arms and said, "Oh, the director's wife came just now and said that the district leaders will come to inspect the literacy class in the next two days."

Xu Deyong said: "Inspections are just inspections, we just give lectures."

Xu Huizhen's eyes flickered and she said: "Director Li from the street heard Cai Quanwu speak well that day. When the district leader came to inspect, he even asked him to speak..."

Xu Deyong scratched her nose and said with a smile: "Why, you are careful when speaking, and you are afraid that I will have an opinion. To tell you the truth, I really don't want to be in the limelight. I just hope to live by you and have another litter later." Little bastard..."

Xu Huizhen gave him a gentle slap and said, "What the hell are you treating people like pigs? I'm not afraid that you and Cai Quanwu will have a grudge!"

Xu Deyong thought to himself that this was exactly what he had arranged.

He smiled and said: "No, and I think he is suitable to be the public manager of the tavern. He is right. He will not restrict you in management. After the district leaders inspect, you can ask the director for instructions."

Xu Huizhen nodded and said: "What he said is okay. How about buying you a tractor in the name of the tavern? You don't have to pedal hard to pull the wine!"

Xu Deyong said: "I think this is good. If business is really good, I can exchange drinks with Cai Quanwu later."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said: "Driving a tractor is such a rewarding thing. It's too late for others to ask for it, but you don't want it!"

Xu Deyong smiled and said nothing else.

It only takes two years to buy a tractor. If there is a natural disaster and you won't be able to eat enough, how much wine will you have left?

Moreover, after the "enemies", the country didn't even have enough oil for buses, so there was no extra oil for you to fill. Two years after you bought it, it was just a decoration, and you could only sell it as scrap metal!

Skipping this topic, Xu Deyong looked at her with burning eyes and said, "When do you want us to get married?"
