Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 237 Troubled Times ()

"You won't let me go to bed? I just had a taste of it last night, and I can't do much if I go to bed today."

Xu Deyong thought in his heart and agreed neatly.

Pregnant women are not to be messed with, just say whatever you want.

So, Xu Deyong lay down on the bed and played with Xiao Li'er.

The grasshopper gourd was not as fun as the gourd. Xiao Lier picked it up and played with it for a while. Seeing that the grasshopper didn't scream, he threw it aside as soon as the novelty wore off and happily climbed on Xu Deyong's body with his legs.

Little ones don’t like the new and dislike the old, they like the new and miss the old!

Soon, crisp laughter sounded.

Days like this always take away some of one's fighting spirit.

There is a kind of leisure and fun that "I realize that I have nothing to do, and the little fish jumps out of the green duckweed".

"Hey, what kind of wind is this? Could it be that Mrs. Feng has descended to earth?" someone said.

Tathagata Tathagata in Journey to the West once said that there are "five insects" in the world: "scales, feathers, and worms."

Xu Deyong grinned "hehe", paid, picked up the wine and side dishes and sat down at Niu Ye's table.

Chen Xueru sat aside with several private managers from other industries, her eyes turning on Xu Deyong.

As the population increases, people continue to cultivate land in order to fill their stomachs. The state also encourages hunting in the mountains and forests. Confrontations between humans and wild animals are inevitable. There have been some incidents of tigers hurting people in various places.

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him, gave him two taels and a plate of flower beans and said, "Drink less."

At this time, the tavern was crowded, and everyone was chatting, discussing the ongoing meeting and the upcoming National Day.

So why is the tiger called the "big insect"?

The next day, an ordinary day passed by in a flash.

With the blessing of a gun, the tiger is no longer a "big insect" but a "big cat".

A hint of complexity flashed in Xu Hesheng's eyes and he said, "Yes, we are all our own people, so don't be polite."

Sitting on the other two sides were Pian Ye and Xu Hesheng.

Xu Deyong smiled, raised his glass and took a sip: "I heard that Teacher Xu is about to have something good happen?"

And Xiao Li'er is the little fish that jumps out and makes waves in the calm water...

However, even if he didn't make any money, he was praised by his leadership for joining Xu Huizhen's literacy class. Not only did his salary increase, but he rose steadily and became a principal ten years later.

Xiao Li'er was in good spirits during the day and only slept for a short while. After dinner, Xu Deyong took her out for a walk to eat. After coming back to play for a while, she dozed off and fell asleep soon after.

Everyone was chatting about 'national events' and various gossips, and then someone started talking about the 'tiger troubles' that had been appearing in various places since the beginning of the year.

Qiangzi's loud voice asked: "How do you know?"

Fan Jin used to hold his tail between his legs while lighting the fire in the kitchen. Since he was transferred to the neighborhood committee, he didn't say that his tail was cocked up, but he straightened it out.

The film master smiled and said: "Hey, don't be polite."

"Master Niu, Master Pian, Teacher Xu, please drink." Xu Deyong poured a small cup and said.

"Yes, yes, manager Chen knows better. It's a tornado, a tornado." The person who spoke before said quickly.

Nowadays, without the face-to-face praise and promotion from leaders, at most the school's praise will increase your salary. It will be difficult to become a principal in the future.

After that, there was no more to say, obviously he didn't want to talk more.

"In the play", this guy is only one step away from Xu Huizhen. If anyone is more open-minded, there will be nothing wrong with Cai Quan.

Although Lin Yuping was Fan Jinyou's past tense, the two of them met each other with their heads down, and both of them had to use literacy classes to earn "political capital," which inevitably caused some dirty things.

After thinking about it, he closed the door and went out, arriving at the tavern in a hurry.

Xu Deyong came to the front desk, Xu Huizhen glanced at him, he smiled understandingly and said: "Li'er is asleep."

Marriage is a watershed. Even if there is water, you will not be able to return to the ambiguity of the past.

Xu Deyong walked to the door and heard a person saying vividly: "Do you know, there was a divine wind in Shanghai yesterday. Good guy, it easily "lifted" a large oil storage barrel weighing one or two hundred thousand kilograms to a height of more than ten meters. It was so high in the air, and with one more swing, it was thrown a hundred meters away, and many people died."

Xu He said: "We are talking."

In the evening, after Xu Deyong's family finished dinner, Xu Huizhen hurried to the front, where the tavern was about to be filled.

At this time, Chen Xueru's clear and charming voice came: "What kind of divine wind is that? It's called a tornado."

Xu Deyong entered the tavern and said hello to everyone.

Mr. Niu chuckled and said, "Hey, Deyong is here. Come and sit quickly. There's a seat reserved for you here."

……

Xu Deyong carried the little guy to the small wooden bed, covered him with a small quilt, raised his hand and looked at the time, but it was only after seven o'clock.

This guy is talking about Fan Jinyou's "ex-girlfriend" Lin Yuping.

Every time this guy sees Xu Deyong, he feels like he has been deprived of his "luck".

"Thank you, Mr. Niu." Xu Deyong said with a smile and cupped his hands.

"My wife's cousin's sister-in-law is in Shanghai..."

They are feather insects that refer to birds, caterpillars that refer to beasts such as tigers and leopards, insects that refer to turtles and other armored animals, scale insects that refer to fish, and those that are hairless, armorless, featherless, and scaleless. A worm.

Among them, humans are classified as "earworms" and tigers are classified as "caterpillars".

In addition, the "chong" mentioned by the ancients is not the "worm" we understand today, but another word for "worm".

Although these two words have the same pronunciation, their meanings are completely different.

In ancient times, the word "worm" was actually a general term for all animals in the world. All animals fell into the category of "worm", even humans, the leader of all spirits, were no exception.

In the book "Shuowen Jiezi" it is explained: There are enough to be called insects, but not enough to be called zhi.

Another reason is "taboo". Since the grandfather of Emperor Gaozu Li Yuan of the Tang Dynasty was named Li Hu, the word "tiger" was not used among the people. So people in the Tang Dynasty thought that tigers were caterpillars, so they called them big insects.

The "tiger problem" is serious, and many professional tiger fighting teams have been formed in various places, and a number of "tiger fighting heroes" and "advanced tiger fighting individuals" have also emerged.

Among them, the veteran tiger hunter who killed more than 100 tigers was even received by Premier Zhou next year.

For example, the famous South China tigers were basically beaten to extinction.

In an era when there was not enough food to eat, let alone tigers, even if dinosaurs came, they would have to be bombarded by cannons.

Only when a person is full can he take care of other things. It is commonly known as "there is nothing to do when you are full." Haha, just kidding!
Xu Deyong drank a small drink and chatted with the people at the table, listening to all kinds of news.

For example, last month we took down the beautiful country's cross-border reconnaissance aircraft, and none of the dozen or so pilots of the other side were spared. Three of the other side's aircraft carriers sailed to the coast, and tensions immediately rose.

Those who are barefoot are not afraid of wearing shoes. The development we can achieve in future generations is all the result of previous wars. It is not an exaggeration to say that the war of national destiny is a battle.

Of course, we are all passive, and we are all a conspiracy of "S Dalin" to kill three birds with one stone. Otherwise, if we win, we will really let him succeed, and we might become completely a vassal...

When drinking in a tavern, what you drink is an atmosphere and what you hear is an insight.

Regardless of whether it’s true or not, you can still brag about it later, right?
When the atmosphere was getting heated, Fan Jinyou walked in pretending to be wearing a blue shirt and black trousers with this armband.

"Hey, Clerk Fan is on patrol." Someone said hello.

When everyone saw him coming in, the various discussions gradually became quieter, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured on them.

After all, this guy is a member of the neighborhood committee, so some things are best not said to his face.

"Yes." Fan Jinyou nodded solemnly and said, "Come in and take a look at the patrol. The National Day is approaching and it is during the leaders' meeting. Everyone should pay attention to whether there are strangers in and out to prevent saboteurs."

Xu Huizhen smiled softly and said: "What Clerk Fan said is right, but everyone who comes to our tavern is not an old neighbor or an acquaintance. Everyone supports our party. If there are saboteurs, you don't have to tell them. They will definitely kill them." Take him to the police station."

"Yes, Manager Huizhen is right." Mr. Niu said, "If there are saboteurs, I, Mr. Niu, will be the first to go."

"Then I, Qiangzi, will go up second." Qiangzi said with a smile.

Xu Hesheng smiled lightly and said: "Clubkeeper Fan is really conscientious and conscientious. He patrols the tavern!"

Fan Jinyou glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't bother Teacher Xu to worry about it. You are the teacher and the second best among the students. It is best not to come here to drink. You have no chance to miss the people here." .”

Hearing this, Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly. This guy really has his tail up. If he dares to turn around and put his sack on him again, he should teach him a lesson.

Xu Hesheng said: "Clerk Fan, what you said is meaningless. You come to the tavern to drink and gain knowledge. Only people with a heart will think too much."

Chen Xueru raised her charming eyes, held the wine glass with her orchid fingers and said, "Fan Jinyou, if you want to drink, just sit down and drink. If you don't want to drink, don't show off here. Everyone here is an acquaintance. Who are you showing off to!"

"Hehehe..."

There was a chuckle in the tavern.

Seeing this situation, Fan Jinyou didn't want the good reputation he had just accumulated to be lost.

The corners of his mouth twitched and he said: "I have no other intention of coming here. I just want to remind everyone that the topic should not be overdone. If there are any bad remarks that are heard by others, it is better not to say two things." Something that can be solved with just one sentence.”

"Okay, everyone, keep drinking, I won't interrupt."

After saying that, Fan Jinyou glanced at Xu Hesheng and Chen Xueru and turned to leave.

With Fan Jinyou's sudden interruption, like a stirrup, the lively atmosphere in the tavern was no longer the same as before.

Many people felt disappointed and hastily finished their glasses of wine and left.

Chen Xueru was also one of those who left early.

Xu Huizhen thought for a moment, then chased her out and said, "Xueru, don't speak too directly in the future. Some people need to be taught to do good deeds, but they need to be taught to do damage without a teacher."

Chen Xueru smiled casually and said, "It's okay. I'm not afraid of anything he might do. You have such honors, so what are you afraid of?"

Xu Huizhen chuckled and said: "I'm not afraid, I just feel like it would be better to have a calmer life without making so many mistakes."

Chen Xueru said in a half-true joke: "If something happens, let your men catch it. Now go away and get busy."

After that, she waved her delicate white hands, twisted her waist and left with the small bag on her shoulders.

Xu Huizhen paused for a moment while looking at the small bag between her arms. It was made up by Xu Deyong...

……

In the evening, when the tavern was closing, Xu Deyong wanted to come and hold hands under the moon to return home.

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him, opened his hand and said, "Go, it's outside, don't move anything, it would be bad for people to see."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "There is no one, and it doesn't matter if you are seen. We have proof."

Xu Huizhen said: "I find that you are getting thicker and thicker."

Xu Deyong looked like he had been wronged and said: "No way, I don't like your performance."

"Shameless." Xu Huizhen said coquettishly.

The two of them returned home and looked at Xiao Li'er who was sleeping soundly. They both smiled knowingly, then washed up and went to bed.

Xu Deyong put his ear on Xu Huizhen's slightly bulging belly, and seemed to be able to hear some blood resonance.

Xu Huizhen's rounded face revealed a hint of female glory, she touched his head and suddenly whispered: "How much do you like me?"

Xu Deyong was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth. This girl's reflex arc is quite long. She obviously cares about it, but she asked a little "little tsundere" after so long.

Xu Huizhen said a little reluctantly: "Why are you laughing? Stop talking and go to sleep."

Xu Deyong gently held her in his arms and said in a low voice: "I see all living beings as grass and trees, but I see you as a green mountain."

Xu Huizhen only felt a slight tingling at the tip of her heart, and she leaned on his chest and was speechless for a long time...

……

Tomorrow after tomorrow, as the memories come to an end, National Day becomes the only major event in this city.

And just before National Day, a man and his family returned from their beautiful country. Since then, they have devoted their lives to the great cause of my country's national defense science and technology construction, making outstanding contributions to the development of "two bombs and one satellite."

He is the only scientist in our country who was posthumously awarded the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" Meritorious Service Medal as a martyr.

His name is Guo Yonghuai.

Among the twenty-three founders of the "Two Bombs and One Satellite" initiative, only Guo Yonghuai was involved in missiles, nuclear bombs, and artificial satellites.

It's a pity that God is jealous of talents, and the plane crashed in 1968. Such a person is worthy of our remembering his name!
……

In the evening, looking at Xiao Li'er sleeping soundly on the small wooden bed, Xu Huizhen said: "Deyong, the street and neighborhood committee have invited us to participate in the mass parade after the military parade tomorrow, let's go."

Xu Deyong said: "You are pregnant. There will definitely be a lot of people there. What if you are crowded and bump into each other? Besides, there is Xiao Li'er."

Xu Huizhen said a little coquettishly: "I'm still young this month, so it's okay. Besides, I don't have you. Xiao Lier will be sent to grandma's house early tomorrow morning. After the parade is over, we will go to grandma's house to stay at night."

Xu Deyong said: "There's really nothing I can do about you. Look, there aren't even stars tonight. It might rain tomorrow."

Xu Huizhen said: "If it rains, we have umbrellas and raincoats. It's settled."

Xu Deyong pinched her nose and said, "Have you already agreed to the director's wife? Come to me and show off first."

Xu Huizhen coaxed him and said, "You are the man of our family. Am I not asking for your opinion?"

The two talked and fell asleep in the cool night.

The next day.

Early in the morning, light rain began to fall from the sky.

This National Day military parade will be recorded in history because it is the only National Day military parade held in the rain...
