Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 201 Pay attention to

Xu Deyong got up early in the morning, looked at Xu Huizhen's jade body, and covered her with a thin quilt with a slight smile.

She took out a hand-woven colorful rope bracelet from her pocket and put it on her wrist.

Then he kissed her on the forehead and went outside. Xiao Li'er was lying quietly on the small bed. The little guy didn't wake up on his own, so Xu Deyong naturally wouldn't wake her up "cheaply".

Go to the courtyard to exercise alone.

If you want all kinds of postures, all kinds of moves, all kinds of surges, all kinds of floats, you can't stop exercising.

Carmoon, squat and swing!

The weather was already hot, and he was only wearing shorts. He held two stone locks in his hands, rising and falling together. The muscles on his body were tense, showing a beauty full of lines and power.

Well, Hui Zhen also likes it very much. I couldn't put it down last night...

After exercising, he was sweating all over. Xu Deyong picked up a towel, dipped it in water and wrung it out, and wiped his whole body clean. He must pay attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of key parts.

After all, this is not one person’s business!

After the exercise, he opened the blind box with a thought.

"Boom."

A cloth bag falls into the blind box space.

Xu Deyong opened it and saw that it was dried noodles, weighing about thirty kilograms.

Anything to eat is good, and noodles are even better.

Moreover, the noodles at this time are really "dried noodles", which are all noodles that are hung up to dry.

In those few years, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy it. If you can have a meal of noodles, it will not be the same as celebrating the New Year!

Keep it, keep it.

Xu Deyong is now a squirrel about to spend the winter.

At this time, there was the sound of Xiao Li'er waking up in the house, and Xu Deyong hurriedly entered the house to serve the little ancestor.

After tidying up the little guy, the little guy kept pushing his body out, saying vaguely: "Ahhhh, ahhh..."

Yes, this little guy has a memory.

So, Xu Deyong took her out with a bench and came to sit in front of the earthen tank where the little goldfish was kept.

Xiao Lier couldn't wait to put his head out, put his two little hands on the edge of the tank, and took a look at the little goldfish inside.

In addition to small goldfish, Xu Deyong also bought several "toad bones", which are small tadpoles.

The little goldfish swims slowly, and the toad's bones lie at the bottom of the tank.

"Toad bones" are one of the childhood fun of many children. If you have a net bag, you can catch a lot of them in ponds and rivers.

Of course, the capital is the capital after all, and there are people in the suburbs selling these things for a few bucks a penny.

Moreover, this thing can not only be used for playing, but also for "drinking".

The climate in Sijiucheng is dry in spring and summer, making it especially easy to get angry.

In the past, some people let their children drink "Toad Bone Duoer". Traditional Chinese medicine believes that "Toad Bone Duoer" is cold and can clear away heat, detoxify and relieve fire.

Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" says: "It is customary to take tadpoles and swallow them with a glass of water on March 3rd. It means that it will not cause sores and it will detoxify."

There is also caution when drinking. Put tadpoles and water in a bowl or cup, and then swallow them directly into your stomach as soon as you raise your neck.

And the smaller the "Toad Bone Duo'er", the darker the better, the larger ones with legs are not allowed to be drunk, and the yellow ones are even more forbidden to drink!

Among the old customs in Quancheng, there is also the custom of drinking "Toad Bone Duoer". People call this "drinking life", and when drinking it, you need a little vinegar to taste it.

"Oh oh oh..." Xiao Li'er's two round eyes stared unblinkingly, grinning, and soon saliva flowed out.

Xu Deyong didn't care, and Xiao Li'er's saliva dripped into the tank, creating a circle of ripples, and the little goldfish moved quickly.

"Kekeke..."

Xiao Li'er giggled when she saw this, innocent and carefree.

Xu Deyong pinched a little fish food and sprinkled it inside, and the little goldfish started fighting for it, and even the toad bones started to move.

Xiao Li'er had a "very magical" look on her little face, like a little fool.

This little guy wouldn't tire of watching her for half an hour, just like teasing her, he was always amused.

Well, I have to make a baby chair for Xiao Li'er. After Xiao Li'er is finished, the baby behind can continue to use it.

He moved casually, and banknotes appeared in his hand. He put the paper on Xiao Li'er's back and started drawing.

Xiao Li'er's curious little head shook, as if he had encountered something interesting and was overjoyed...

In the house, Xu Huizhen woke up, and her daughter's happy smile came through the window. Hearing it as soon as she woke up made people feel happy.

When she raised her hand, she saw the colorful bracelet on her wrist. The smile at the corner of her mouth slowly widened and she whispered softly: "This bad guy..."

She dressed and got up, went to the courtyard to wash up, and saw the father and daughter enjoying themselves, so she said, "Deyong, go back to grandma's house tonight, and then take me back to my brother's house tomorrow."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "This is the busy time for farming. Why, you want to go back and help!"

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him and said slightly angrily: "Of course you are the one doing the work. I don't know where you get so much energy every day."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "No matter how much energy you put into Dao Qian, it won't go to other people's homes."

"Screw you, stop talking nonsense." Xu Huizhen said angrily: "Li'er is still here."

Xu Deyong said: "She is still a little carrot head, what does she know?"

"That's not OK."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Okay, from now on we will only talk in bed."

"Hey..." Xu Huizhen spat at him and said, "Let me talk to you about business. No one is watching my brother's children during the busy farming season. You go and help for a day and let my sister-in-law rest."

Xu Deyong said: "Received, my wife has spoken, and she will go through fire and water without hesitation."

"Then it's settled, we'll go early tomorrow morning." Xu Huizhen said.

"Okay." Xu Deyong said: "Bring a few jars of wine when you come. You can't come back empty-handed."

Xu Huizhen bit her lip and said, "You, you are just not tired at all, and I am too lazy to talk about you."

Xu Deyong didn't care. This tiredness was nothing. If he had the ability, he would fight for 500 rounds without hesitation.

Grind and be healthier!

……

In the morning, Xu Deyong went out to do some work for someone and earned sixty cents. Seeing that it was still early, he went to the maintenance yard.

I've been waiting for that kid for two days, and I don't know how I learned from Hou Si.

When Hou Si saw Xu Deyong coming, it was as if he had seen a savior. He said with tears in his eyes: "Master Yong, you are here."

"What's wrong?" Xu Deyong glanced at Ma Fei inside.

Ma Fei subconsciously covered his neck and said, "Well, it's actually nothing. I just don't study. I accidentally dismantled a clock. Unexpectedly, Hou Si also had two knives and couldn't put them back together."

Xu Deyong didn't say anything to him. After all, taking action is better than not taking action. He said calmly: "You all come here, I will walk you through it from the beginning..."

When Ma Fei heard this, he kept up with him. After all, he couldn't beat him again and again. If he didn't learn, he would really do it.

When he went out, Uncle Tai told him that he would deal with anyone who was playing blindly with him. If he was disobedient, he would no longer care about him.

Taking a two-pronged approach, Ma Fei had no choice but to accept this situation.

Besides, he found that tinkering with this thing seemed a bit interesting.

Time soon came to noon, and Xu Deyong planned to leave.

Ma Fei said, still unfinished, "Hey, what..., what should I call you?"

Xu Deyong glanced at him and said: "Master Xu or Brother Deyong will do. I should be older than you."

Ma Fei rolled his eyes and said, "That's natural. I'm not yet seventeen, so I'll call you Brother Deyong. Can you first teach me how to assemble that radio?"

"No." Xu Deyong said calmly. Ma Fei scratched his head and said, "How about I treat you to dinner?"

"No, I want to go home."

"What are you going home for?"

"Eat and take care of the kids."

Ma Fei: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "Then will you come back this afternoon?"

Xu Deyong said: "I'm not coming, please digest what I said first."

"Ah..." Ma Fei curled his lips and said, "Your teaching is too perfunctory."

Xu Deyong said angrily: "I can't serve you here every day just to teach you. You can learn whatever I teach you. If you can't learn it, I'll beat you. If you don't learn it after beating it, it's none of my business. It means you are What a fool!"

"Of course, you can rest assured, I won't beat you to death, I will only beat you half to death."

Ma Fei: "..."

Aren't you being unreasonable?

After Xu Deyong finished speaking, he ignored his reaction and went out on a scooter to leave.

Ma Fei spat at his back, turned his eyes and looked at Hou Si and asked: "Hey, monkey, where does that guy live?"

Hou Si's expression changed and he said: "My little ancestor, what do you want to do? Don't think too hard!"

Ma Fei said angrily: "Where are you thinking? I just want to pay a visit someday. If I have any questions later, I can ask for advice."

"Really?" Hou Si asked a little uncertainly.

Ma Fei said: "Of course, don't worry, I'm still young and I won't offend someone like this."

Hou Sidao said: "Master Yong and his grandmother used to live in a courtyard in Nanluogu Lane. After getting married, they mostly worked in Qianmen Street. Moreover, Master Yong's wife has a tavern there, so she stays there when she is late."

Ma Fei's eyes lit up and he said, "Come to the door?"

Hou Si hesitated and said: "That's not true, but..."

"But what?" Ma Fei asked.

Hou Si thought for a moment and said, "There's nothing that can't be said. Master Yong doesn't care. It's okay to tell you. Master Yong's wife is a second marriage."

"Widow." Ma Fei grinned.

Hou Si said with a bit of envy in his tone: "If there was such a widow, I would be willing even if it was half the difference."

Ma Fei raised his eyebrows and said, "Why, are you still a fairy?"

Hou Si said: "Not only is she beautiful, but she is also rich."

"Hey." Ma Fei said disdainfully: "So what, if it were me, I wouldn't be happy."

Hou Si curled his lips secretly and thought to himself: "You are just fooling me like this. Without Uncle Tai's care, it is not certain whether you will be able to get a wife in the future."

Ma Fei said casually: "You haven't said the place yet, tell me, and I will go and support you later."

……

At night, the clouds gather and all the light is gone!

Xu Deyong took the braided reed mats, door curtains and other things to the cart and took Xu Huizhen and his wife back to the courtyard.

Xu Huizhen also bought two "Five Poison Cake" at the pastry shop, which is a round peach cake with images of worms, scorpions, scorpions, centipedes and toads on the top. It is also called Five Poison Cake. It is also traditional to eat it at this time. , can "ward off evil spirits".

Of course, the pastry shop also offers rose cakes and wisteria cakes.

Two copies, one for grandma, and one for her to take tomorrow.

When we came to the entrance of the courtyard, a group of children were playing around, shouting: "Buffalo, buffalo, come out first with its horns and then the other. Your father and your mother bought you roasted mutton. Why don't you eat it?" Drink, let the old cat take it all away..."

Xiao Li'er was immediately attracted by their voices and kept looking at them.

Hearing the noise, they looked up and saw Xu Deyong, and greeted: "Brother Deyong, sister-in-law Huizhen!"

"Brother Deyong, sister-in-law Huizhen!"

……

Xu Huizhen smiled and nodded.

"Yeah." Xu Deyong said with a smile, "What are you playing for?"

Liu Guangfu rushed to answer: "Brother Deyong, let's play with the buffalo. Let's see who can poke his head out first."

Xu Deyong took a look and saw that the "buffalo" was a small snail.

When the weather is hot, there are more and more various small animals. For children who lack play and have a playful nature, these are their playthings.

These beautiful and docile little snails, no matter how many girls or boys catch them and put them in their hands or on stones and tiles, they can play with them for a long time if they are gathered together in groups of three or five.

What are the other ones like: a moth, a tiger, a mantis, a cat, a monkey, a crucian carp, a sparrow, a shrimp, a buffalo, a toad, a dragonfly, etc.

Anyway, you can play with whatever you catch.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Okay, you can continue playing."

Yan Jiekuang looked at the things on Xu Deyong's car and volunteered: "Brother Deyong, let me help."

This guy is very clever.

Xu Deyong said: "No, you can play."

"Oh." Yan Jiekuang said a little disappointed.

Since Brother Deyong got married, he no longer cooks in the courtyard, and their opportunities to enjoy food are getting less and less.

Xu Deyong pushed the car into the courtyard, picked up his things and entered the courtyard.

Yan Bugui couldn't help but smile when he saw it and asked: "Hey, Deyong, what are you doing with these things?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's nothing, I just plan to build a simple shed in front of my house. With this little shade, I can let grandma come out to enjoy the coolness or something."

"Hey." Yan Bugui said, "That's good. Deyong, you are very thoughtful, that's good."

Xu Deyong said politely: "Isn't this what it should be?"

After chatting for a while, Xu Deyong helped the two of them and greeted the people in the courtyard before entering the middle courtyard.

When Xu Nanshi saw them coming back, she said with a smile: "Deyong, what kind of mess have you made again."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "When I use it later, you must agree."

Xu Nanshi smiled and complained: "You are the only one who has been tossing all day long."

After saying that, he ignored him, stretched out his arms to hug Xiao Li'er and said, "Come on, come on, little girl is here, let grandma hold her, and grandma made something for you."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "Grandma, what did you do to her? She is so young."

Xu Nanshi smiled and said, "I didn't do anything. I just made a small bracelet and a small bellyband with five poison patterns embroidered on it to protect our little girl from all kinds of diseases and keep her safe."

"Yes." Xu Huizhen said with an almond-shaped smile, "Thank you, grandma."

"You're welcome, family."

At this time, He Yuyu came out a little tired to say hello.

Xu Deyong looked at it and couldn't help but ask: "What's wrong with the rain? Why does it look darker again?"
