Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 202 “Every family has sutras that are difficult to recite”

Before He Yuyu could answer, He Yuzhu came out and smiled unkindly and said: "Haha, it was their school that organized all classes to go to the suburban cooperative to help pull and glean wheat ears, which made him a little black egg."

He Yuyu said angrily: "Brother, you don't need to tell me, you are the black egg and you didn't buy me a straw hat."

Xu Deyong smiled, this is He Yuzhu, no wonder He Yuzhu didn't want to clean up the house for him when he grew up, and he didn't care much about his brother's life events.

On the one hand, He Yuzhu himself is sloppy and picky, but his mouth is also "effortful".

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "It's okay. I'll be able to recover if I don't expose myself to the sun often."

Xu Deyong said: "The rain is okay. Participating in helping farmers is very honorable and a good exercise for yourself. Are you still going tomorrow?"

When He Yuyu heard this, he was a little proud and a little helpless and said: "We have one more day to go. We will take the junior high school entrance examination at the end of the month. I also want to spend more time reviewing."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Come on."

As he spoke, he opened the reed mat that had been placed aside and took out a reed straw hat from it. He knitted a lot of it casually while weaving the mat, and said, "Well, this is for you. If you are admitted to junior high school, it will be my gift to you." If you don’t pass the exam, you’ll have to pay me back.”

He Yuyu's eyes lit up and he stepped forward to take it and said happily: "Thank you, Brother Deyong, I will definitely pass the exam."

He Yuzhu took a look and saw that there were quite a few, so he said with a smile on his face: "Hey, Deyong, give me one too."

Xu Deyong said: "If I don't give it to you, you have a big head, so why don't I give it to you at the price of two cents a head."

"Ah..." He Yuzhu muttered in a long voice: "I still need money, so what if you know how to make one and give it to me!"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "It's really no big deal if I know how to knit and give you one. Then you are a cook and can cook. It won't be a big deal if you cook for my grandma in the future."

He Yuzhu: "..."

Seeing that his brother was defeated, He Yuyu shook the straw hat in his hand with a little pride and said, "You deserve it."

"Hey..." He Yuzhu didn't dare to quarrel with Xu Deyong, but he didn't care about his sister. He pointed at her and said: "You girl, do you want to have dinner tonight? Eat my food, drink my food, and talk about me, Like feeding an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf."

"Humph." He Yuyu was not afraid of him and hummed: "You are just a wolf with blind eyes. If you don't pull me down, you will also be hungry."

The two brothers and sisters quarreled, but Xu Deyong ignored them and entered the house with Xu Huizhen and the others.

Xu Nan tied a colorful little red string on Xiao Li'er's little wrist and put on the "Five Poison Bellyband". The little guy looked at the little hand curiously, and then he was attracted by the colorful "colorful rice dumpling", and his bare buttocks were Bed play.

Xu Deyong found a hammer and nails and pressed the door curtains and curtains together.

The little stick came out of the house, looking up and quietly watching Xu Deyong working.

For children, watching people repair cars, watch people repair shoes, watch people do carpentry and other things are very addictive things, and they can watch them for an hour without moving.

Well, it’s the same as watching mobile phones in later generations.

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news, he came out with his hands behind his back and took a look: "Deyong, did you do this yourself?"

Xu Deyong replied while doing it: "Hey, I just made it myself."

"Yeah." Yi Zhonghai nodded and said, "It's more beautiful than what you can buy on the market."

Xu Deyong said casually: "Hi, Sir, please give me your respect."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated to speak, looked at it for a while and said, "Then get busy."

Then he slowly returned home.

The aunt who was about to eat saw him coming back and said, "Why, did you tell Deyong?"

Yi Zhonghai sat down and said, "No, I'll look back and see if I can do it with my level."

The eldest mother said with some humor: "You think the bamboo rocking chair made by others is very good, but now you are embarrassed to say it. It's up to you. If you want to make it yourself, you can make it yourself."

Then she asked again: "I heard that this wage reform requires a rating. You have always been the leader in the factory, so you should be able to get an eighth rating!"

Yi Zhonghai glared at her and said, "As a woman, don't say anything to others outside, and don't show off if you can judge. Besides, it's not necessarily true. My skills should be enough, but my qualifications may not be my turn."

The eldest mother muttered: "I just asked, but I didn't go out to tell you. Isn't it because the neighbors in the alley said that you can be rated as an eighth grade? It's fine if the eighth grade is not graded as a seventh grade. Anyway, I heard that wages are going to increase. "

Yi Zhonghai said: "Stop chatting with those talkative women. Wouldn't it be better to spend some time with the old lady?"

The eldest mother hesitated after hearing this, and could only say in her heart: "Are you just spending half your life just for a name? What's the point of having a name if you don't have children..."

……

Jia family.

Mrs. Jia Zhang took a look and said, "Where has Banggeng gone? It's time to eat."

Qin Huairu said while serving stick noodle porridge, "I must have gone to see Deyong at work again."

Jia Zhang curled her lips and said, "Then what is Xu Deyong doing again? He shows off every day. Dongxu, please give a shout and let Banggeng come back."

Jia Dongxu is thinking about the grading of factory workers. Now the news is basically clear that the country will carry out wage reform in the near future, and factory workers must learn from the Northeast to implement the "eight-grade work system."

Recently, this news has spread in all walks of life. It is considered the most important thing in the near future. After all, it is related to everyone's vital interests.

"Dongxu, did you hear what I said?" Jia Zhang said again and saw that her son didn't respond, so she couldn't help but say again.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he couldn't help but come to his senses and said, "What's the matter, Mom?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang was not angry: "I asked you to call Banggeng back, but you don't get close to or discipline your own son."

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but said a little irritably: "Aren't you and Huai Ru? The whole family relies on me to make money alone. I have to work all day and think about improving myself and other things. How can I have the time to play with him all the time."

Qin Huairu put down the bowl and said softly: "Okay, we know you are working hard, let me go and call you."

Jia Dongxu said: "Don't bark. He will know when he is hungry and he will come back. No one will care about his food."

"Call me back, don't let my grandson starve." Mrs. Jia Zhang suddenly said angrily: "Dongxu, if you think I'm eating for nothing if I don't work, I'll go back to my hometown. I won't starve to death if I have two acres of land."

Jia Dongxu said quickly: "Mom, I didn't mean that."

"Huh." Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly, tilted her body and ignored him, but looked at the cabinet beside her.

Jia Dongxu took a look and saw that his father's portrait was placed inside.

Qin Huairu blinked and said nothing. He went out and called Banggong back for dinner.

Liu family.

A family of five was eating, with meat, vegetables and eggs on the table.

With a kind smile on his face, Liu Haizhong served his eldest son Liu Guangqi some food and said, "Guangqi, eat more. The exam is in two weeks. Use your brain to get more nutrition."

The second aunt also echoed: "Yes, Guangqi eats more, it depends on you whether the Liu family can be proud of their ancestors."

Liu Guangqi said: "Mom, Dad, you guys should eat too, and brother, you guys should eat too."

Upon hearing this, Liu Guangfu immediately said happily: "Thank you, brother."

"Thank you, brother." Liu Guangtian said immediately.

The two of them stretched out their chopsticks to pick up the meat.

"Pah, pah!"

Liu Haizhong blocked the two people's chopsticks with his chopsticks and said: "Is it your turn? You are only allowed to pick up vegetables, not meat. It will not be your turn until your brother has finished eating. Look at your academic performance, even your brother was half Even if it’s not enough, you still have the nerve to eat.”

The two brothers Liu Guangtian couldn't help but look at each other, lowered their heads, and just picked up the vegetables in silence. Needless to say, they didn't have a share of the eggs.

The second aunt also said: "You guys, you should learn more from your brother and stop being playful all the time."

Liu Guangqi couldn't help but said: "Dad, Mom, Guangtian and the others are still young..." Liu Haizhong interrupted him and said: "Don't worry about them, prepare for the exam and study hard."

As he spoke, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu looked at him with envy. He took out five yuan and gave it to Liu Guangqi and said, "Take this money and buy whatever you need. If you don't have enough, tell me."

Liu Guangqi had no choice but to say: "Okay."

In fact, his parents still put him under a lot of pressure.

The two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu are similar. Not only since they were young, but since they were in school, they have been living in the shadow of their older brother. Their father always compares them with their former brother.

It is inevitable to have a rebellious mentality, and naturally there will be no enthusiasm for learning, forming a vicious circle.

The two brothers' performance and hard work were not pure enough, so they were always "struggling and suffering."

The second aunt said at this time: "Hey, the head of the house, everyone said that he needs to be graded. Yi Zhonghai wants to be graded eight, can you do it?"

He paused with his chopsticks in his bangs and said, "Lao Yi's eighth level is probably too choked, and so am I... too choked."

The second aunt said speculatively: "If you can surpass Yi Zhonghai, maybe you can become a master in the courtyard, and I can also be called a eldest mom."

Liu Haizhong said: "What's the good thing about being a big man? It's all these trivial things every day. I want to be able to hold an official position in the steel rolling mill and become a leader."

The second aunt's eyes lit up and she said, "Then you must work harder!"

"You don't have to tell me." Liu Haizhong took a sip of wine and said, "You, a woman, just take care of your family affairs."

The family ate at the same table, but obviously not on the same street.

……

Lao Yan's family was still miserable, with a family of six, there weren't many vegetables and oil on the table, let alone meat, but they could still eat enough with just this steamed bun.

Yan Jiecheng ate better at school. He didn't have much appetite for the food at home, so he ate slowly. The other three, Yan Jiefang, were like little pigs digging for food. A plate of steamed buns was gone after one of them reached out twice.

Yan Bugui grinned and said, "Eat slowly."

"Hey..." He then sighed and said, "You are really a young man who is trying to kill me. I wish I could have had two less children."

Yan Jiedi raised her eyes and said nothing.

Yan Jiekuang said like a kid: "It's too late. What did I do earlier? I actually don't want to."

Yan Bugui stretched out his hand to hit him and said, "You brat, if you can, go and be reincarnated elsewhere."

Yan Jiekuang curled his lips and said, "If I could be reincarnated, I would definitely go to Brother Deyong's house. With Brother Deyong here, I will definitely have delicious food every day."

Yan Jiefang's eyes rolled around and he said, "Xie Kuang, let's go together."

Yan Bu generously struck each of them and said, "What are you doing? I raise you every day. Are you raising two white-eyed wolves?"

The four children have stopped talking since they were young.

The third aunt said: "Okay, Lao Yan, why are you angry with them? Does your wage reform require a wage increase?"

After hearing this, Yan Bugui felt a little better and said, "Well, the price should increase by a few dollars."

Yan Jiefang's eyes lit up when he heard this and said: "Dad, how much do you want to raise your salary? Then can we eat meat several times a month?"

Several other people also had "green glow" in their eyes.

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Eat, eat, eat, you just know how to eat, and you don't understand our hard work at all. With the increase of a few dollars, you all have to go to school, and you don't have to spend money on tuition, books, etc." "

"ah……."

Several people suddenly looked disappointed.

Yan Bugui said: "You guys are paying me back, I'm still thinking 'ah'! I have to be a cow and a horse for you for several years. If you don't obey us when you grow up, you will definitely have no conscience."

……

Xu family.

The family of four has a good living standard and is eating noodles.

Xu Wood said while eating: "Da Mao, I have made arrangements for the steel rolling mill. You will join the factory for internship next month."

Xu Damao said nonchalantly: "What if I get admitted to a technical secondary school?"

Xu Wood said lightly: "If you can pass the exam, unless the sun comes out from the west, do you think you are Liu Guangqi!"

Xu Damao said unconvinced: "Well, it doesn't matter if he passes the exam. Looking back, I can't tell who has more potential."

Xu's mother smiled and said, "Well, my son is ambitious."

Xu Damao's sister, Xu Xiaoxia, is not like their family members. She is a little introverted. She is about the same age as He Yuyu. She is not very good at studies. She stays at home after school and rarely goes out to play with people in the courtyard. She does not have a strong sense of presence.

Xu Wood also nodded and said: "This makes sense. Study hard. As long as you learn how to play movies, you will have no worries for the rest of your life."

Xu Damao said a little bit: "That's not easy. Look back, there is one person in this courtyard, no one can compare with your son."

Xu Wood narrowed his eyes and said, "Including Xu Deyong?"

Xu Damao's expression paused for a moment, then he said: "Of course, he also knows how to order miscellaneous things, and married a widow with some assets. After all, he is not a three-wheeler. If I take Lou Xiao'e later..."

"Well!" Xu Wood said with a solemn expression: "Da Mao, don't say this nonsense in the future. Remember to use secret idioms to vent your defeat, and don't talk nonsense about things that don't work out."

"Oh, I see." Xu Damao said, but he didn't take it to heart.

Xu Wood naturally saw it and couldn't help but shake his head slightly. His son was still young, but he also knew that growth was not something that happened overnight, and he still needed to teach through words and deeds.

……

The next day, Xu Deyong got up early, moved his body briefly, and then cleaned up the chicken coop. He only cleaned the feces underneath and covered it with a layer of soil.

Of course, when the weather is hot, there will inevitably be some bad smells, and there is no way around it.

After cleaning up, the blind box is opened.

Two singlets and vests fell into it, the market price is about one yuan and thirty cents each.

Well, summer is here, and it understands needs.

After breakfast, Xu Deyong took Xu Huizhen and his wife away and returned to her parents' home.

When you leave Sijiu City, you can see a scene of busy farming.

The fields were full of people, donkey carts and wheelbarrows coming and going.

As the saying goes: "A good man is afraid of the wheat harvest, and a good cow is afraid of the autumn."

Farm work is quite hard work.

And the wheat is pulled out by hand in some places without using a sickle, because pulling out the soil loosens the soil, which is convenient for sowing in the next step. At the same time, the wheat roots can be used as firewood.

In rural areas, no one is willing to burn charcoal, and all kinds of firewood are necessary. The first job every child learns may be to collect firewood. When he sees dead branches and hay, it may even become an instinct to pick them up and use them as firewood... ….
