Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 240 Cabbage, cabbage

For more than four months, Xu Huizhen's belly has already become pregnant. She just went to the hospital for a checkup at the beginning of the month and everything was normal.

On the morning of the beginning of winter, the temperature was already around freezing. Xu Huizhen was wearing a moon-white plain jacket and black trousers, pushing a small bamboo cart.

Xiao Li'er was also wearing thick clothes, and she had gained a lot of weight. She couldn't even hold her hands when she sat in it. She had a hat on her head, and almost only her eyes and small nose were exposed, and her eyes were looking around.

Before she could reach the grain store, a boy and a half of his age ran over quickly, exhaling hot breath and said: "Sister-in-law Huizhen, brother Deyong said he was pulling cabbage for people, so don't worry, the food will be back." Eat again.”

Xu Huizhen looked at the crowd of people in the distance, then smiled and said, "Thank you, Liuzi."

Liu Zi is a kid from their alley and they all know each other.

Liu Zi said happily: "You're welcome. Brother Deyong will give me a candy ball. It's so sweet!"

When Xiao Lier saw Liuzi running over and sitting in the car, his calves were kicking. The little guy was already eager to leave.

After Xiaoliuzi finished speaking, he ran back again. These children like to watch the excitement and rush to where there are many people.

Of course, there are only a few people who use cars, and he is not the only one. The main thing is that he has a basket on the car, which makes loading and unloading more convenient and faster.

Xu Huizhen said angrily: "You just rely on your strength and act stupidly. You do more and get less. Maybe people will call you a fool!"

Xu Huizhen glanced at him and chuckled: "Screw you, you didn't eat breakfast or buy something to eat on the way."

"No, you saw it wrong..."

"Then why are there vegetable leaves on your teeth?"

Xu Deyong said with a playful smile: "If I weren't stupid, how could I have married a wife like you!"

He said and winked.

"No, no, no." Xu Deyong shook his head and said, "I found your way."

……

"Spit." Xu Huizhen lightly spat at him and said, "Are you stupid? You are so clever. Now that I think about it, it seems that I was tricked."

"I'm back." Xu Deyong opened the door and said with a smile.

Xu Huizhen didn't move forward either. She pushed Xiao Li'er unhurriedly and turned back.

When Xiao Li'er heard the noise in front of him, the bamboo cart turned around. The little guy's head tilted, and he pointed with his little finger and said, "Ah..."

Xu Huizhen held out her pregnant belly, rolled her eyes at him, and said, "You're right, you'd be better off pulling cabbage."

The couple were laughing and joking, and Xu Huizhen occasionally acted a little bit. They were both still young, but Xu Huizhen had experienced things and was a private manager, so she was much more mature and stable outside.

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Serving the people can also make money. It's great to kill two birds with one stone."

Xu Huizhen said with a smile: "Ah, there are too many people over there. We can't go there. I'll take you to another place."

It was already after nine o'clock when Xu Deyong came back from a busy stage. He had made nearly one yuan, half a morning, which was not a small amount.

……

Xiao Li'er looked up at her mother, grinning happily, showing her little teeth that had grown out...

Xu Deyong said seriously: "No, I don't want to buy it."

Only when facing Xu Deyong who is getting tired at home, will he show some girlish attitude.

"Ah..., baba..."

This made Xiao Lier, who was sitting in the bamboo cart, very anxious and said, "What are you playing, I want to play too."

"Haha..." Xu Deyong took off his work coat, picked up Xiao Li'er and kissed her on the face, making Xiao Li'er giggle.

Xu Deyong drank some more porridge and ate a piece of pancake, then began to unload the cabbage and put the cabbage in the yard to dry.

Storing cabbage for winter is a big project that lasts for several days, and Xu Deyong also made a small profit. After storing all the cabbage at home in the cellar, on Saturday evening, they returned to the courtyard with a basket of cabbage and a basket of vegetable leaves, as well as Xu Huizhen and her mother.

First, Xu Huizhen and her mother were sent home. Xu Nanshi picked up Xiao Li'er with a smile. At the same time, she asked Xu Huizhen if she was feeling unwell and so on...

Xu Deyong went back, parked the car, and walked inside with a basket of cabbage. The other basket of vegetable leaves was for grandma to feed the chickens.

Cabbages and briquettes are neatly arranged at the door of every house in the courtyard, and some are placed in the back-seat rooms.

"Hey, Deyong is busy, do you need my help?" Yan Bugui said with a smile when he saw this.

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "No, there's no need to trouble you with this small task."

Yan Bugui then sighed and said, "That's right. It's convenient for you to have a tricycle. I was originally thinking that I could take advantage of it this year, but I didn't expect that you didn't come back."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a smile: "The third uncle said this out of the blue. It doesn't matter whether he is taking advantage of the glory or not. If you need anything later, just say it. But it is really busy these days. Many people rent cars to haul cabbage."

Yan Bugui laughed and said, "Then Deyong, you have made a lot of money these days."

"Hi." Xu Deyong said, "It's just enough money for the damage to the car. If I don't tell you, I'm still holding my stuff."

"That will keep you busy."

When the third aunt saw Yong entering the middle courtyard, she couldn't help but murmured in the room: "These two are already so rich, how much money is enough?"

Yan Bugui said: "If anyone is dissatisfied with less, naturally the more the better."

Yan Jiekuang was warming himself by the stove in the house. He saved money by using briquettes, but it was not as warm as before. Some people still burn briquettes in winter and briquettes in other seasons.

Of course, it would be much better to replace it with cast iron, but it would cost a lot of money, and most people would not be willing to replace it.

Naturally, Yanbu Gui and his wife save money when they can.

Yan Jiekuang heard his parents talking and said, "Dad, when I grow up, you should also buy me a three-wheeled scooter."

Yan Bugui said angrily: "Look at your little potential, you can't even grasp the key points of anything. Is that because of the cart?"

It's cold, every house has its doors closed, and the chimneys are smoking.

"Gu Gu Gu Gu..."

Xu Deyong placed the basket of vegetable leaves at the door, took out a handful and fed them to the two remaining hens.

Eat more, gain weight, and stew it next year to supplement Xu Huizhen’s nutrition during confinement.

"Hey, Brother Deyong, you are back."

At this time, Xu Damao's voice sounded from behind.

Xu Deyong turned around and said, "Oh, it's Damao. He's dressed so smartly. Did he just come back?"

Xu Damao had a long face and said proudly: "Hey, my dad and I went to show a movie for the boss."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Then you are a good boy. You may be able to flourish in the future."

Xu Damao waved his hands proudly and said: "I'm still young and haven't thought that far ahead. I'll get a full-time job first and take over my dad's job. In the future, if Brother Deyong wants to watch a movie, tell me that when the movie is shown in the factory, I'll take you with me." Get in."

"Thank you in advance." Xu Deyong said noncommittally.

"You're welcome..." Xu Damao was a little too proud and wanted to pat Xu Deyong on the shoulder.

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes at him.

Xu Damao suddenly became excited. He moved his hand out and then came back to touch his hair, and said, "I regard you as my brother."

Xu Deyong smiled and patted his shoulder: "Come on, keep an eye on you!"
