Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 213 Like a demon and a Buddha

While Xu Deyong and Xu Huizhen were talking, Xiao Lier was sitting in the small bamboo cart, staring unblinkingly at the golden carp that was put in the basin.

Although Xu Deyong changed the water twice in the river he passed by on the way, the weather was hot and he was taken all the way. He only moved his mouth in the basin, and it seemed that he was not very active.

In fact, if Xiao Li'er is called Xiao Li'er, she will look even cuter.

After a while, Xiao Lier raised his little arm, looked at Xu Deyong and said, "Ah..."

Xu Deyong smiled and pinched her chubby little face and said, "Oh, Da Yuyu, can you make some soup for Li'er to drink tonight?"

"Ah." Xiao Lier pulled his face, tilted his head and opened his big eyes to look at the big fish.

Xu Huizhen said at this time: "That young man Ma Fei came here before, I told him you will come back in the afternoon."

Xu Deyong was slightly surprised and said: "How come this kid suddenly became so active!"

Xu Huizhen smiled and said: "You know that day when we went back to grandma's house in the courtyard, Ma Fei did not leave directly after leaving our house, but went to the tavern again."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "Is this guy going to drink again?"

Xu Deyong glanced at the boy, took the saw and the ink bucket and said, "Let's learn to unwrap the wood first."

Xu Huizhen said: "It's just that he drank some beer, but he seemed to have some unpleasantness with his neighbor He Yuzhu in the courtyard, and when they were drinking, the two of them were at the same table as Chen Xueru."

The brother and sister felt a little dizzy when they read the book, and soon they couldn't read it.

People who have eaten pagoda candy in those days may have bad memories, such as pulling out long squirming worms, such as pulling out half of the candy and having to pull it with your hands...

Ma Ying tried it and immediately understood the reason why her brother gave it to her. However, the little girl was more resilient than her brother. Although she worked slowly, she gritted her teeth and persisted until the end.

Ma Fei was somewhat interested in mechanics. He had a lot of fun dismantling the broken clocks used for practice and reinstalling them.

Xu Deyong said without raising his head: "Make a swing chair for the children to play with."

Ma Fei nodded and said: "You can't control it."

Speaking of bugs, Ma Fei seemed to recall bad memories and went into the house angrily to pour a bowl of hot water.

Well, let's make a bigger slide later. Anyway, the yard is big enough and can be turned into a small playground.

Xu Deyong was slightly startled when he heard this. Is this why He Yuzhu came back with a shameful face on the day of the relationship?

Ma Fei is a thorn in the side, and He Yuzhu has a mouth that is not forgiving. Neither of them is a fuel-efficient lamp.

After the meal, the father and daughter lay on the recliner and dozed off listening to the radio. Xiao Li'er fell asleep quickly as the bamboo chair rocked.

Xu Deyong also took a nap, then took Xiao Li'er back to the crib and placed her doll next to her.

When Ma Ying heard this, a touch of envy burned in her eyes. Who didn't long for a father like this when he was a child, who could meet his children's various requirements and make all kinds of fun things.

Ma Fei, however, was not afraid of her and said, "Young Master, don't worry about me. Don't forget, you still benefit from me even if you come here."

She endured it for a moment before she couldn't help but said, "What are you doing?"

After talking and demonstrating to him how to use it and the size to be solved, he threw him a piece of log, and the boy started working happily.

Xu Deyong said angrily: "Do you think there are too few bugs in your stomach? Go into the house to drink hot water, be careful, my daughter is sleeping in there."

Then he took out the carpentry tools and started carpentry work under the grape trellis outside.

It’s okay that He Yuzhu has some thoughts, why is this kid Ma Fei joining in the fun! Is Mao Zhang ready?

Half an hour later, there was a knock on the door outside. He stopped what he was doing and opened the door. Not surprisingly, it was the Ma Fei brother and his sister.

"Oh, I understand." Ma Feihun agreed nonchalantly.

Ma Ying also wanted to try, nodded and said: "Okay."

Ma Fei quickly handed the saw to her and said, "I'll leave the rest to you. I'll read a book."

Xu Deyong said calmly: "Okay, anyway, you only have one year, you can learn whatever you want. If you have nothing to do next year, don't bother me. And from now on, if you come over one, three or five, if I happen to have something to do, I will postpone it." At other times, you go to maintain the courtyard, and I will go there if I have time."

Seeing this, Ma Fei came over and said with a playful smile: "Brother Deyong, I want to learn this too."

Xu Deyong waved his hand for the two of them to come in.

The pretty girl Ma Ying looked at it for a while and seemed to have little interest. She turned around to watch Xu Deyong doing carpentry.

The guy shook his hand and said to Ma Ying nonchalantly: "Sister, do you want to give it a try too."

However, could it be that the two of them were unhappy because of Chen Xueru?

The couple chatted for a while, and then Xu Huizhen went to the tavern in front.

Watching Xu Deyong undoing and planing the wood, pieces of flat wooden boards with even thickness appeared in his hands.

Soon, Ma Fei said he was thirsty again and wanted to drink cold water directly from the tap.

Ma Ying said: "Then whose favor did you take advantage of?"

After getting started with the saw, the fellow sawed for a while and realized that this was not an easy job. After finally cutting off a piece, it was like a dog chewing it.

This made Xu Deyong look slightly sideways.

Repairing things like clocks and watches is actually not difficult. As long as you concentrate on theory and practice, you can quickly fix some simple minor problems by yourself. Mainly, it is more troublesome to find and debug.

This guy was dealt with twice by Xu Deyong, and he changed a lot. After understanding Xu Deyong's temper, he became even more "unscrupulous".

After explaining it to the two of them, he threw them a book on simple machinery that he had found and asked them to study it on their own.

He has already fixed the grape shelf and is going to make a swing chair on which Xiao Li'er can sit and play later, and a wooden horse to provide toys for his daughter to play with.

Ma Ying looked at him and said, "Brother, you have to study hard and not be half-hearted, or I will tell Uncle Tai."

Xu Deyong brought the fish basin into the house and asked Xiao Li'er to continue looking at it while he ate peacefully.

Hey..., my scalp is numb!

An hour later, Xiao Li'er woke up, and Xu Deyong wiped her face with a wet towel, making her "hum" unhappily.

Xu Deyong put her in the bamboo cart and pushed her under the grape trellis to watch them work.

Xiao Li'er was very curious about the stranger who appeared at home and kept looking at him.

Ma Fei made a funny face at her, but Xiao Lier looked at him coldly and didn't respond.

So Ma Fei said: "Brother Deyong, why doesn't she smile?"

"Hey..." Xu Deyong then flicked his tongue at Xiao Li'er with a smile and set an example.

Xiao Li'er grinned and started to laugh.

Xu Deyong raised his eyebrows and said, "Here are the people."

Ma Fei touched his nose angrily and said, "Brother Deyong, your daughter is so cute. I will give birth to one like her too."

Xu Deyong said: "The prerequisite is that you have to find a mother to give birth to you."

Ma Fei raised his chin and said, "It's not easy to find a girl. If a girl is willing to be my friend, I won't be willing to deal with it."

Neither Xu Deyong nor Ma Ying responded to his bragging, which made him quite unhappy.

But there is no other way. People have to bow their heads under other people's roofs.

Ma Ying saw Xiao Li'er's cuteness and went over to tease her tentatively. Xiao Li'er was somewhat close to Ma Ying, and they soon started playing together.

……

Insects chirped in the courtyard at night, and people chirped in the house.

After several rounds of preaching and giving liquids to relieve the fire, both of them felt a little tired.

Xu Huizhen was lying on the side with a pretty face and a rosy face, her chest was rising and falling, and she didn't want to move at all.

The so-called devil is happy beforehand, and is as holy as Buddha afterward.

Xu Deyong calmed down after being a Buddha for a while, and Xu Huizhen also recovered and said lazily: "My body is a little greasy. Go wet the towel and I'll wipe it off."

Xu Deyong's eyes moved and he said with a smile, "I'll take you out."

With that said, Xu Huizhen picked her up and brought her to the yard amid her gentle cries.

"What are you doing? Take me back quickly." Xu Huizhen lightly punched him with her fist and whispered.

At this time, the two of them were wearing nothing and were exposed in the yard. Although no one else was there, Xu Huizhen was still a little nervous, and at the same time there was a trace of excitement.

Xu Deyong hugged her and changed his position, saying, "There's no one else around, so what are you afraid of?" Xu Huizhen subconsciously crossed her legs.

Xu Deyong is familiar with the road.

Then both of them snorted slightly, seeming to feel a little different outside.

The insects in the yard disappeared, leaving only faint sounds.

“Depressive” and intense….

……

The next day, Xu Deyong got up to exercise still refreshed, and the muscle lines on his body became more and more beautiful.

After exercising and wiping his body, he opened the blind box.

"Boom."

A bag fell into the blind box space. When I opened it, I saw that it was almost fifty pounds of mung beans.

Well, in the summer, a bowl of mung bean soup can clear away heat and relieve the heat. If you add some sugar, don’t mention it if you can have this bowl at this time!

Stay in the middle but not send out!

Xu Huizhen woke up later than usual today. When she saw Xu Deyong, she glared at him. Apparently, she still freshly remembered Xu Deyong's "outrageous" behavior last night.

Xu Deyong smiled and said without being mean, "Didn't you look very comfortable yesterday?"

Don't say anything about this kind of thing. Just feel the taste and feel it.

Otherwise, why would there be so many "field battles"!

……

Fireworks rise and eat a bowl, and thousands of gains and losses are at your fingertips.

In the blink of an eye, it’s the end of June on the Gregorian calendar, and tomorrow, July 1st, is Party Founding Day, which is also a weekend.

Xu Deyong and Xu Huizhen are planning to go boating, cool down and stroll around in Beihai together tomorrow.

Unexpectedly, in the afternoon, two girls, Chen Xueru and Elena, came and invited Xu Huizhen to go boating together.

Xu Huizhen and Xu Deyong looked at each other and said truthfully: "Deyong and I also have this plan, but we have to take the elderly and children with us."

"That's it!" Chen Xueru turned her eyes and said with a smile: "Then let's talk about it when the time comes. Let's play our own things first."

The two ladies then stayed in the tavern to drink.

Xu Deyong took Xu Huizhen and his wife back to the courtyard.

When I entered the courtyard, I heard someone arguing inside. There were no curse words in the quarrel, but the power was not bad at all:

"Silly Zhu, did you grow up drinking milk from a chamber pot, or did you grow up eating ash and dregs? This mouth is smelly and toothless..."

There is no doubt that this voice is Xu Damao. This guy has now graduated and entered the steel rolling mill to study filmmaking with his father. He will basically come back from the sky.

This time I came back, and I saw He Yuzhu in the factory and the courtyard with his head down and his head up. The two of them never dealt with each other, so friction was inevitable.

He Yuzhu said: "I can say whatever I want. Just keep it in check. Look at your virtues. Don't know how to behave! You pretend to be a man of five people and six children. It seems like that. In fact, you are full. You moth, I see the sky and want to stir up some crazy things."

"You fart, what did I do?" Xu Damao said angrily.

He Yuzhu said: "You know what's going on. Just be careful for me. I'll take care of you."

Seeing He Yuzhu clenching his fist, Xu Damao said sternly: "Silly Zhu, don't think I'm afraid of you. Don't block my way home. Everyone is watching."

It was hot in the house, and many people were enjoying the cool air in the courtyard. They all watched the excitement happily. The two of them quarreled like cross talk, but it was not a way to adjust their lives.

"Third uncle, the first uncle and the second uncle are having a meeting in the factory. You don't have to worry about Silly Zhu." Xu Damao said to Yan Bugui, who was munching cucumbers and watching the excitement.

Yan Bugui chewed the cucumber and chuckled, not salty but not bland, and said, "Okay, you should rest in this hot weather, and don't gossip here."

At this time, Xu Deyong and his wife entered, and naturally they greeted each other again.

Yan Bugui's little eyes would always subconsciously glance at other people carrying things.

When Xu Damao saw Xu Deyong, he immediately felt like he had seen a savior. The third uncle was obviously unreliable and said quickly: "Brother Deyong, look, Silly Zhu is bullying people again."

He Yuzhu scoffed: "Hey, are you considered a human being?"

Xiao Li'er was in Xu Huizhen's arms. Seeing these people, she seemed a little scared. She shrank into Xu Huizhen's arms, but looked at them curiously with her big eyes.

Xu Deyong smiled lightly and said, "Why is this so noisy?"

He Yuzhu came from the passage and said, "It's okay. Deyong is here today. Don't scare the child. Just let the grandson go."

The young Xu Damao was as thin as a bamboo pole, and his slightly bowed waist suddenly straightened, and he said to He Yuzhu: "Silly Zhu, aren't you just a cook? What's the air? I'm a movie projectionist, how can you compare!"

Hearing this, He Yuzhu glared and said, "Xu Damao, believe it or not, I'll slap you again, but I won't necessarily stand up for you."

Xu Damao glanced at Xu Deyong, who smiled and said nothing.

Seeing this, Xu Damao gave up and said: "Silly Zhu, let's wait and see. You won't beg me again in the future."

"Grandson, please say one more thing." He Yuzhu raised his fist in gesture.

Xu Damao immediately slipped into the backyard.

Without one of the two protagonists, the play could no longer go on, and everyone dispersed.

When the group of people in the front yard went back, Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Hey, jelly and pork head meat, these two people are living a really good life."

"That's not true. Didn't you see that the mediocre daughter-in-law is wearing a beautiful dress? It is a bragi dress that is popular on the street now. It is worn by salesmen, clerks, female cadres and so on."

"But he also looks good-looking, much fairer than us old ladies."

……

Everyone was talking about it, no matter whether it was men or women, the tone was full of envy.

Xu Deyong couldn't hear it, and it didn't matter if he heard it.

From birth to death, people are always talked about by others.

A group of young men in the courtyard greeted Xu Deyong, and they suddenly missed the days when Xu Deyong was in the courtyard.

In this matter, Xu Nanshi was just watching the show.

She took Xiao Li'er from Xu Huizhen's arms and spoke with a smile.

When he got home, Xu Deyong told his grandma his idea of ​​going boating in Beihai tomorrow.

Xu Nanshi was not willing to go at first.

Xu Deyong said casually: "When you get there, watch Xiao Li'er, let's play."

Xu Nanshi thought for a while and then said: "Well, you can't let such a young child into the water or get on the boat."

After the family finished eating, they chatted and played with the children in the courtyard.

Xiaobangjie looked at the cute little Li'er and showed off to her with a small wooden gun.

Seeing that Xiao Li'er didn't speak, he said, "Uncle Deyong, why doesn't my sister speak?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "She can't speak yet."

"Oh." Xiao Banggeng nodded as if he understood.

Then she threw it to Qin Huairu and said, "Mom, I also want a sister."

Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said, "If you want a younger sister, I want a younger brother."

Xiao Banggeng said: "Hello, sister."

Then he begged: "Mom, I want it now."

Qin Huairu's eyes flashed and she blushed slightly: "How can this be so fast?"

"No, no, I want it now."
