Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 168

It is said that the rooster crows and the sun rises!

“Cuckoo…chichichichi….”

The hens and chicks crow together.

Xu Deyong exercised for a while in the morning and then became a poop shoveler. They were so surprised that they kept screaming.

Xu Deyong muttered: "What do you call it? I won't do anything to you. I just want to eat your eggs and your meat!"

"Every piece of shit I shoveled for you today will have to be paid back in the future."

Seeing this, He Yuzhu couldn't help but said: "Deyong, what are you mumbling to the chicken?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I am chanting a spell to the chicken to make the chicken lay more eggs."

He Yuzhu said: "Hey, you can pull me down. You can keep this for coaxing Xiaobanggan."

While the two were talking, Xu Damao came out of the backyard holding a maroon wooden box and said hello: "Brother Deyong, Silly Zhu, good morning."

He Yuzhu glared at him and said: "Sun thief! You are the one who called me Silly Zhu. Go to school quickly. I feel sick just looking at your donkey face!"

Xu Damao raised his chin and said, "Silly Zhu, I'm saying hello to you out of kindness, but I didn't say hello to you. Brother De Yong is here, so don't be shameless."

"You can't just call me Silly Zhu!" He Yuzhu said in disdain, "Get out of here, don't let me whip you."

Xu Damao curled his lips and said: "I won't be going to school this weekend. Let me tell you, Silly Zhu. I will go to the steel rolling mill for internship in two months after graduation. Everyone will look down and not look up at me. Don't make fun of me all day long."

"Bah!" He Yuzhu snorted coldly: "You are just a mouse droppings that spoils a pot of porridge!"

Xu Damao said angrily: "Get out of here, I'm too lazy to talk to you. Now I'm here to see Brother De Yong."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly and said: "Hey, Damao, you don't go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing."

He Yuzhu immediately said: "I think it's just a courtesy for nothing, either a traitor or a thief!"

Xu Damao glared at He Yuzhu fiercely, turned around and said to Xu Deyong with a smile: "Brother Deyong, it's not that I don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. I'm still a student. I don't have much time. When I become a projectionist, you see Okay, if there is a movie in the factory, I will definitely save a place for you."

Xu Deyong smiled lightly and said: "That's no need. Just tell me what's going on. I'm still working."

Xu Damao carefully held the wooden box and approached Xu Deyong and said, "Brother Deyong, I wonder if you can repair this?"

"What is this?" Xu Deyong looked at the box with the word "囍" on it. It should be a wedding gift, somewhat like a dressing gown, but more exquisite.

Xu Damao said a little proudly: "You don't know this either..."

He Yuzhu looked at him curiously. Hearing this, he interrupted him and said, "Be like asking for help, and don't show off."

Xu Damao: "..."

It feels like he is a fool, and the silly Zhu who is stubborn is at odds with him.

Wait, I will make him fall into trouble one day!

Interrupted by He Yuzhu, the pride on Xu Damao's face disappeared and he lost his thoughts. He said honestly: "Deyong, this is a music jewelry box."

He Yuzhu said disdainfully: "The jewelry box is just a jewelry box, and it also has a name, "Ba Yin"? It's still Ba Ga!"

Xu Damao rolled his eyes and said, "Bitch!"

Then he looked at Xu Deyong. If Xu Deyong didn't know, then it would be in vain.

Xu Deyong clapped his hands and said, "Is the music still playing?"

Yes, this is a sensible person!

Xu Damao's eyes showed joy, and he quickly opened it carefully and said: "Occasionally it rings a few times, and sometimes it doesn't."

The jewelry box was naturally empty.

Xu Deyong looked at it and said: "This thing must be at least twenty or thirty years old, but you can't see inside, so I can't give you an accurate answer."

He Yuzhu put down the hand he raised to slap Xu Damao, and like a curious baby, he leaned over and said, "Deyong, can this broken box still ring? Is it like your record player?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Have you ever heard of a music box?"

"Oh...!" He Yuzhu suddenly said: "The name seems familiar to me. It's that Western thing. A music box is just a music box, and it's also a music jewelry box."

Xu Damao said angrily: "Just tell me whether it can hold jewelry!"

"Why don't I just put food in it!" He Yuzhu asked nonsensically: "Should it be called a music lunch box?"

Xu Damao was also speechless. He gritted his teeth and thought: "We can't beat him now. A gentleman will take revenge. It's not too late in ten years."

He decided to temporarily block He Yuzhu.

He said to Xu Deyong: "Brother Deyong, please try to repair it. It doesn't matter if you take it apart. As long as it can be restored to its original state, I will give you one dollar even if it cannot be repaired. If it is repaired, I will give you two...three dollars!"

He Yuzhu said: "Hey, three yuan, you can give it to the beggar, right? I can't even afford to waste this time!"

Xu Deyong remained calm, "Well, Zhu Zhu is a good wingman for money."

This thing is also winded, and one method works for all. It just has an extra "sound barrel" and a "sound comb". There are many small protrusions on the sound barrel, which act as "damping". The sound barrel rotates, and the damping drives the sound comb. Can produce specific music.

He took out the key and inserted it into the winding hole on the side, tried it gently, and then opened and closed it several times. Once, it played a piece of music and then got stuck.

It shouldn't be a big problem. In the past, when I went to a shop for repairs, I paid based on the value of the item and my conscience.

Now it would be better if it were a public-private partnership store.

Xu Damao gritted his teeth. He had already boasted that he could make an ore radio himself. He could repair this thing for a while, and it was free of charge!

Seeing that Xu Deyong didn't speak, he said again: "Brother Deyong, please add another dollar. This will be my living expenses."

"It's only an extra dollar. You're too stingy." He Yuzhu said. He didn't need to spend money anyway.

"Go away." Xu Damao couldn't bear it anymore.

"Hey, if you dare to scold me, I will beat you to death."

"Come on, come on, whip it, beat it." Xu Damao lifted the music jewelry box in one fell swoop and said, "If I break it, you won't be able to afford a month's salary."

He Yuzhu changed the direction of his hand, but Xu Damao blocked it with his music box.

Xu Deyong waved his hands and said: "Okay, you two, stop making trouble, just leave it like this. Leave the things here for now. I'll take them apart and take a look later, but I can't guarantee that they can be repaired."

Xu Damao said: "Thank you, brother Deyong, please."

He took out a dollar and said, "This is a deposit. Whether it is repaired or not, this dollar is yours."

Xu Deyong took it lightly.

Why! Making money is so simple and unpretentious.

If you can't buy it for one dollar, you will suffer a loss... Bah, you can still make a profit by returning the things to Damao intact.

Say goodbye to envy!

He Yuzhu was really envious. He could cut more than a pound of meat. He only earned it after two days of internship!

The stubborn Xu Damao is so rich!

While He Yuzhu was stunned, Xu Damao handed the music jewelry box to Xu Deyong, then ran away.

He Yuzhu reacted immediately. Seeing that he could not catch up, he took off his shoes and threw them out, saying: "Thief Sun! Don't run away if you have the guts..."

"Silly pig, let's wait and see..."

He Yuzhu didn't hit him, so he jumped on one foot to pick up the shoe and muttered: "This thief is really a thief..."

Xu Deyong shook his head, took the music jewelry box into the house, spoke to his grandma, and went out to continue shoveling shit...

……

After breakfast, Xu Deyong first went to the bicycle repair shop at the entrance of the alley to maintain the tricycle, and then took the remaining bamboo at home to the "maintenance yard".

Many of his tools are placed here, and there is also some wood in the small yard that he asked Gangzi to collect.

He plans to build a bed and a cupboard. It’s not that he doesn’t want to build more, but the space at home is too small and too much stuff is crowded.

It was still Hou Si who opened the door for him.

Xu Deyong saw some bamboos placed in the courtyard and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm quite interested. I've already started trying it myself!"

Hou Si smiled and scratched the back of his head and said, "Hey, I was thinking blindly. It's almost like following Master Gang outside with Zhang Sanzhi. If I don't work hard, no one will help me find a wife later."

"Yes." Xu Deyong nodded and said, "I will come here often these days. If you have anything you don't understand, just ask me."

"Okay." Hou Si said with great joy: "Thank you, Mr. Yong. You go in and have tea, and I will unload the things."

Xu Deyong nodded, went in and took out a pen and paper and started drawing.

Plan before you act, be confident, and when you do it, you can make a leap forward...

……

After a busy morning, he gave Hou Si some pointers on some skills and rode his bicycle to the tavern. What are you doing?

Let’s eat.

Hey, if you can’t feed your future wife, you can’t afford your future wife’s food!

This is like a single person who can't sleep with anyone, so I can't sleep!

Why! That’s how awesome!

After eating and drinking, I hugged the ready-made cotton-padded jacket and lay down on the bamboo rocking chair.

Xiao Li'er stretched out her little hands and feet and lay on Xu Deyong's chest, feeling so happy.

"Giggle...!"

Xu Huizhen said with an almond-shaped smile, "Be careful."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I know it well. Hey, what is our Li'er's name?"

Xu Huizhen hesitated and said: "I named her Jingli, but I don't want her to be special in the future. The middle word should be based on your seniority."

Xu Deyong said: "What a coincidence, Renshou is prosperous, Dejing is Shushen, I am also Jing, but I am Qingjing."

Xu Huizhen couldn't help but smile and said, "That's called Jingli."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Sure, you have the final say on the two words in the name."

Xu Huizhen pouted slightly and said: "Huh, of course I have the final say. I will... Well, there is one named 'Ping'er' and another named 'Tian'er'."

Xu Deyong teased Xiao Li'er and said, "This 'Tian'er' has a big name. I'm afraid he won't be able to suppress it."

Xu Huizhen said confidently: "Our new society does not pay attention to this, and the teacher said that for the sake of sacrifice, we dare to ask the sun and the moon to change the sky for a new one. We are the new sky, not the old one."

"Yes." Xu Deyong raised the corner of his mouth and said, "That's right, what about another one?"

Xu Huizhen said proudly: "Three is a lot. If we add a daughter and a son, the four of us will be the 'Truth and Peace'!"

Xu Deyong grinned and joked: "Hey, that's not a small tone! As long as we have a son, I don't care. If not, grandma will have to fight for her life with us."

Xu Huizhen curled her lips and said, "Then don't blame me if you really can't have a son!"

Xu Deyong raised his hand and said: "You blame me, blame me, but it's not the right time to blame my seeds."

"Spit!" Xu Huizhen's pretty face turned red, she spat at him angrily, got up and twisted her hips to wash the dishes.

Xu Deyong said: "Leave it there, I will clean it later."

Xu Huizhen said: "You look after the children while I wash the dishes."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I will fill in the blanks and you choose."

"What are you filling in the blanks?" Xu Huizhen didn't know why. Looking at Xu Deyong's expression, she didn't think it was a good thing to say.

She was not angry: "Fuck you, if you showed your true colors without showing off, I will regret it."

Xu Deyong smiled and said to Xiao Li'er: "Li'er, your mother said she regretted not wanting me anymore, do you agree?"

“Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhinging”

"Oh, I don't agree. I regret rejecting it."

Xu Huizhen glared at him and decided to let him rely on her for a few more days.

Well, but the effect of this force is reciprocal...

After Xiao Li'er fell asleep, Xu Deyong left.

Soft rice is delicious, you can eat it with all your strength, but you have to be strong enough.

Come to the maintenance yard and continue working...

……

The next day, after Liao Yucheng went to work, his wife received an anonymous letter, but she was illiterate.

If so, she would stop watching and wait for Liao Yucheng to come back and let him watch.

The envelope can be anonymous but have a "vignette" on it.

This illustration made her a little uneasy.

So he gave the letter to a familiar literate female neighbor and asked her to read it to her.

As soon as she heard that it didn't matter, Liao Yucheng's wife became angry.

The letter not only reproduced what Liao Yucheng said that night, but also added fuel to the fire.

The female neighbor advised her to calm down, which was only one-sided words in the letter.

Liao Yucheng's wife gritted her teeth and said, "I know what kind of virtue this guy has. I can tell it at a glance."

After that, he stormed out and left.

I met Liao Yucheng as my mother at the door.

Liao Yucheng's mother was originally dissatisfied with her illiterate daughter-in-law. Seeing this, she frowned and said, "If you are not at home to take care of the children, why are you visiting!"

Liao Yucheng's wife said: "I have something to do and I'm going out for a while. You can watch the child!"

After that, he walked quickly without looking back.

Liao Yucheng was so angry that he wanted to catch up and curse!

Liao Yucheng's wife did not rush into the silk shop directly, but watched from a short distance away.

After a while, she became impatient with waiting and considered whether to go in directly.

Liao Yucheng and Chen Xueru sent the customers out with smiles.

After the customer left, Liao Yucheng saw no one at the door and said, "Xue Ru, what I said that day was all serious. I really like you."

Now that "everything has been said", in the past two days, this guy has been using every opportunity to make a sentence.

When he spoke, this guy's eyes were affectionate.

Not far away, Liao Yucheng's wife gritted her teeth when she saw this. She had also had this look before, and Chen Xueru looked so "funny".

Real hammer!

Since you don’t think about it, no one should think about it!

Published in Dasu newspaper and visited the city.

Immediately, this woman treated Wu Zetian as a widow - lost her mind (Li Zhi) and rushed forward.

Here, Liao Yucheng was looking at Chen Xueru affectionately.

Chen Xueru's face was impatient, but she actually enjoyed this feeling in her heart. She smiled lightly and said: "Don't say nice things, let's buy and sell this order first..."

Before he finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing, and then he was hit by a big blow covering his head and face.

"Vixen, coquettish fox, let you seduce men...!"

Liao Yucheng's wife originally wanted to beat Liao Yucheng, but when she was about to rush, she thought that Liao Yucheng couldn't be beaten, and she would probably get beaten up.

Therefore, the target was temporarily changed to Chen Xueru.

In an avalanche, no snowflake is innocent.

The same goes for Xueru!

You can think about how much harm this intrusive attack would cause to the pampered Chen Xueru!

She was immediately stunned!

……

On the other side, the director's wife went to the tavern to announce the good news.

Elena sent the photos and events of the literacy class in the tavern back to Dasu, and it was actually published in the newspapers in Dasu!

He also said that seeing the big things from the small things, he saw the progress and development of this neighboring country.

This was a great thing to bring face to the country, and it directly alarmed the city.

It was said that city leaders would come to inspect in two days and asked them to do a good job in reception.

Two heavens of ice and fire!
