Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 232 Ambition
As she spoke, Elena opened the carton and took out a clothed rubber doll and a matryoshka doll.

Xiao Lier stole a glance, then immediately raised her little head to look over, blinked her long eyelashes, and quickly stretched out her little hand to grab it.

Like a cute little beast ready to steal food!

"Hahaha……."

Elena was so amused that she deliberately retracted her hand to prevent her from grabbing it, and teased her: "I'll give it to you if you let me hug you."

Xiao Li'er was also a little tempered, so she didn't grab it, so she lay on Xu Deyong's shoulder and ignored her.

Chen Xueru raised the corners of her mouth, touched Xiao Li'er's little head and said, "Hey, girls are more lovely. Come on, let me hug you."

This time Xiao Lier didn't resist much.

Elena smiled and didn't care. She handed the things to Xu Deyong and said, "Take the gifts I brought for you."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "How embarrassing."

Xu Deyong casually took Xiao Li'er over and said, "Thank you, there are a lot of people in the tavern today. If you want to have a drink, go ahead, otherwise you won't be able to get a seat if you're late."

Children's happiness is always so simple,
……

Xu Deyong hugged Xiao Li'er and turned around to go home. Xiao Li'er hugged and circled the rubber doll, looking like he liked it very much.

Xu Deyong's mouth twitched slightly and said: "You are welcome at any time."

"Yes." Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Manager Chen is here, no one is allowed to pay tribute."

Xu Deyong said politely: "I wish you a happy drink. If I can't accompany you, I will come to my house as a guest when I have time."

Xu Huizhen said: "Actually, if Fan Jinyu suppresses his restless heart, he can still go on the right path. Xueru has this ability."

Xu Deyong pinched her nose and said, "You are the only smart one."

The key point is that Xu Deyong is not incompetent. He could have found a better job and gained a higher social status, but he was willing to be a half-backed man, taking care of himself both at home and outside.

Xiao Li'er on the side was very interested in Chen Xueru's fashionable perm, and reached out to grab it again.

Xu Huizhen said: "Elena is also interested, but it's not good to take it for free. You didn't say you have time to come to your house for a meal."

Elena said: "Yes, you are too family-oriented after getting married, and you also have to have your own life."

Xu Huizhen's almond-shaped eyes filled with tears and she said, "Don't I have you?"

"Hey." Chen Xueru curled her lips and twisted her waist to leave.

Xu Deyong shrugged and said, "Well, I'm holding one, and Huizhen has another in her belly. I no longer belong to myself."

Thinking of this, Chen Xueru felt a little unmotivated, but she soon got rid of this mood.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "You two lesbians, please help yourself."

Xu Deyong said truthfully: "Elena brought it back from Dasu."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Hey, the husband and wife are really of the same mind. I said it, and others have said it for a few days."

Elena waved her hand and caught up with Chen Xueru.

Xu Deyong said without comment: "Aren't you afraid that if they succeed, they will join forces to make you uncomfortable?"

Xu Huizhen said: "Then we have to prepare some things in advance."

At this time, there are really too few men like Xu Deyong, and most of them are still macho.

In fact, people are just like trees. The more they yearn for the sunshine at high places, the deeper their roots will go into the dark underground...

Chen Xueru said: "I gave you a gift. If you don't go, we will go."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are still so poor, why don't you go have a drink with us."

In the evening, when Xu Huizhen came back, Xiao Lier had already fallen asleep with her new baby in her arms.

"Haha..." Elena said with a smile: "That's why I'm afraid of getting married. It's better to be single, free and do whatever you want."

Chen Xueru quickly grabbed her little hand and said, "Don't pull aunt's hair."

Xu Deyong said calmly: "If you don't give up, don't give up. If you can catch him, it's his ability."

A strange color flashed in Chen Xueru's eyes. She was really jealous of Xu Huizhen.

Chen Xueru smiled softly and said, "Huh, if I don't have a seat, you have to make room for me."

There will be gains and losses, and there will also be losses.

Xu Deyong said: "Hey, I won't tell you until then. It's not certain yet. Maybe it's just her words."

"Hey, where did it come from?" Xu Huizhen asked curiously.

What he said on his lips, his hands took it without any politeness.

Little Li'er tilted her head, and when she saw the toy in her father's hand, she immediately reached out for it happily.

Elena shrugged slightly and said, "Then let's go drink."

She is Chen Xueru, a "strong woman" who combines beauty and intelligence in the front door building.

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him, then rolled her almond-shaped eyes and said, "You didn't go to the front today. Fan Jinyou got excited again in front of Chen Xueru in the evening. It seems that he still doesn't give up on Chen Xueru."

"Okay!" Elena immediately agreed: "In a few days, speaking of which, I haven't been to your and Huizhen's home yet."

Xu Huizhen wrinkled her nose, stopped talking to him, and went out to wash up with her toothbrush.

Xu Deyong lay on the bed and sighed. It's not good for his women to be too smart.

However, he only regarded Chen Xueru and the others as friends. After all, multiple friends lead to multiple paths, whether it was the upper third party or the lower third party...

……

The next day, Xu Deyong got up early to exercise. Exercise has become his habit. Squats have been integrated into his life, and he has mastered the art of levating the anus.

"Boom."

He put down the two stone locks, and part of his full energy was released.

Then he opened the blind box with a thought.

"puff."

A box falls into the blind box space.

Xu Deyong took a look, hey, it’s wine again, this time it’s Wuliangye.

"Wuliangye" started from the "Lichuanyong" workshop.

The name was born in 1909. Yang Huiquan, a member of the late Qing Dynasty, tasted the wine from the "Lichuanyong" workshop and felt that the name of the multigrain wine was inelegant, so he proposed to name it "Wuliangye".

In 32, Deng Zijun (the boss of Li Chuanyong) officially applied for trademark registration and produced the first generation Wuliangye trademark, using two bottle types, one is an earthenware bottle and the other is a brown glass bottle.

Production of Wuliangye was suspended during the war. It was not until 54 that Deng Zijun donated the secret recipe of Wuliangye after many government efforts. Production was put into operation last year.

Xu Deyong pouted. It would be better to give him some food than to give him this thing.

Keep it, anyway, his current life is not short of this little money.

After the meal, after serving the little ancestor, he was full of energy again.

Tsk tsk tsk, eat, sleep and play, you don’t even have to walk alone.

Xiao Li'er said, "I'm jealous and I'm going to say goodbye!"

Xu Deyong had already started to let Xiao Li'er practice walking. He held her armpits and "rocked and rocked" her calves to the courtyard, walking around and looking around.

Hey, why is the little one so cute!

When he saw the crab in the black porcelain basin, Xiao Lier opened his mouth and said "Oh"!
Then I poked my little head and wanted to reach out and grab it.

Xu Deyong thought in a funny way: She is so cute, she will cry for a long time if she is pinched by a crab. Xu Huizhen was washing Xiao Li'er's clothes and looked at them with a smile.

She couldn't get enough of this scene.

She hopes that her life will continue to be like this, until her children grow up and she and Deyong grow old.

After a while, Ma Fei knocked on the door and came in again.

Xu Deyong glanced at him and said, "Why, have you mastered what I taught you during this period?"

Ma Feihun said nonchalantly: "Almost, almost, but the business at Gangzi's side has been sluggish recently, and I have no use for it."

Xu Deyong said: "We just experienced heavy rains and floods last month, and now we have entered the busy farming season. It's no wonder that business is good."

Ma Fei chuckled like a monkey, called sister-in-law, ran under the grape trellis and picked a bunch of grapes without washing them. He plucked one and put it in his mouth.

While eating in his mouth, his eyes were still looking at the red pomegranate.

Xu Deyong said angrily: "You guys have nothing to do. You just came here to eat."

Ma Fei said: "Isn't it true that people live their entire lives just to satisfy their appetites?"

Xu Deyong said: "If you have something to say, say it and let it go. If you have nothing to do, go back and read a book. First, learn the theoretical knowledge solidly."

Ma Fei grinned and said, "Actually, it's nothing... Oh, these crabs are pretty good..."

This guy whined again.

Xiao Li'er raised his head and gave him a strange look, as if he was looking at some strange species.

Xu Deyong simply ignored him.

After a while, the guy couldn't help it anymore, squatted next to Xu Deyong and said hummingly: "Hey, brother Deyong, can you tell Uncle Tai that you won't send me to the repair shop to work as a pawn later?" Apprentice?"

Xu Deyong said: "No."

Ma Fei: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn't expect Xu Deyong to reject him without even asking.

He drooped his head and said, "It's either that I don't want to work, or that I want to be as free as you and not be controlled by others."

Xu Deyong said: "Which of your eyes can see me being free? Well, this little one can tie me up."

Ma Fei muttered: "That's different."

Xu Deyong glanced at him angrily and said, "You can be like me. Just wait until you catch up with me and find a good wife."

Ma Fei blinked and said, "I'm still young. I can grow up slowly, but I can find a wife first."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "Why, you have a goal?"

Ma Fei looked around, looking a little guilty. He hummed for a while and whispered: "Actually, I think Manager Chen is pretty good..."

Xu Deyong was stunned for a moment, but even though he had a premonition, he still asked: "Which Manager Chen?"

"That's it...it's Manager Chen from the silk shop..." Ma Fei rubbed his hands.

Xu Deyong: "..."

He touched his forehead speechlessly. He didn't know whether to admire this boy's courage or to say that this boy was overestimating his abilities.

He freed up a hand and patted the kid on the shoulder and said, "Then do your best."

"No." Ma Fei whispered urgently: "Manager Chen often comes to the tavern to drink. You two are familiar with each other. Please help me get a lead later."

"Get lost." Xu Deyong said angrily, "I'll hold your grandma's leg."

Even if he doesn't get it, he won't act like a "boiling sheep" and work hard from behind.

Ma Fei had a look of resentment on his face and didn't forget to eat.

Like a little mangy dog, this guy occupied Xu Deyong's lounge chair and hung out in the yard for a long time. When someone came to ask for a car, he got on Xu Deyong's cart and went out to play.

He drilled through the city gate, climbed the city wall, fished for fish and insects by the moat, flew a kite in Ditan Park, etc. This kid had plenty of places to play, and he was already used to it.

This kid just lacks training, and he doesn't know the heights of the world. Maybe he will be more reliable after a few years of beating.

……

In the evening, Xu Huizhen handed over the work in the tavern to Zhao Yali and He Yumei, and followed Xu Deyong back to the courtyard.

After the start of school, the older children in the courtyard, such as Yan Jiecheng, He Yuyu, Liu Guangtian, etc., all live on campus, leaving only some Guawazi who attend half-day classes.

The two brothers of the Yan family and Liu Guangfu were the most active and often quarreled with each other. Now Liu Guangtian was so weak that he often bowed his head, but when he met people from other courtyards outside looking for trouble, he would always open up to others.

They "love and kill" each other.

When Xu Deyong came back with Xu Huizhen and his wife, they were having a "cursing war" with the children of the same age in the alley.

Yan Jiefang, who was older, was the first to shout: "It was dark on Saturday night, and there was a war in XX's house. When his father turned on the light, his mother had convulsions, his grandfather rushed forward with a urinal, and her grandmother jumped off the building and pretended to die..." "

The other party also showed no signs of weakness: "I had a dream. I dreamed that you were jumping in the river. I took a fork and your lid was quite hard..."

Xu Deyong was very happy to hear it, and he didn't know how many more jingles these naughty kids would have.

Seeing Xu Deyong coming over, Liu Guangfu became brave and said: "Hey, brother Deyong is here. My brother Deyong is very powerful. He can do anything. He can dance with two big rocks weighing hundreds of kilograms."

The other party said: "What's so great about this? My brother is a soldier. He fires a cannon and will blow you away with one shot."

Liu Guangfu and others were immediately shocked and looked at each other speechless for a while.

When the other party saw this, he immediately became proud.

Xu Deyong didn't expect that he would be involved, so he smiled and rode over.

Liu Guangfu said angrily: "Hey, where is your brother? I have brother Yong right here, and I will take care of you."

The two sides exchanged a few more words, and it was not until the other party's family called for dinner that the "war" disappeared.

Xu Deyong parked the car, greeted the people he met, and entered the courtyard with Xiao Li'er in his arms.

I didn't see Yan Bugui, so I probably went fishing again.

The family has a large population, and if he doesn't find a way to get food after get off work, how can he save money with his salary.

Back home, Xu Nanshi saw the crabs that Xu Deyong took and said with some disgust: "What are you doing with this thing? It's just a shell with no head."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Grandma, these are crabs from Niulan Mountain. They are big and delicious."

Xu Nanshi heard this and said quickly: "You are pregnant, and you can't eat it even if it tastes delicious."

Xu Huizhen blinked and said, "As long as you are not allergic to crabs, you should be fine if you eat less, right?"

Xu Nan's face was slightly serious and she said: "Hey, if you are not afraid of 10,000, just in case, if you can't eat it, I will scramble eggs for you."

Xu Huizhen glanced at Xu Deyong helplessly.

Seeing his grandmother's insistence, Xu Deyong shrugged at her, saying that there was nothing he could do to help her.

Xu Huizhen pouted slightly and rolled her eyes at him. She would have kept a few at home to eat.

While eating, Xu Huizhen could only watch Xu Deyong "smacking his lips" and eating with gusto.

……

The days rolled around, and in a blink of an eye it was the white dew season.

The ancients matched the four seasons with the five elements. Autumn belongs to gold, and gold is white. White is used to describe autumn dew, hence the name "Bai Lu".

As the saying goes: "On the equinox night of white dew, it is cool all night long. After drinking the white dew water, the mosquitoes will shut up."

The weather is getting cooler, the wind is picking up, and the Eighth National Congress is about to be held...
