Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 277 Incompetent Fury

Xu Deyong shrugged and said, "Then I'll listen to you."

Xu Huizhen felt a little guilty when she heard him say that, and pushed Ping'er to him, saying, "We are husband and wife, so let's discuss this..."

Ping'er was passed back and forth between the two men. She found the heartless feeling quite amusing. She happily hugged Xu Deyong's neck again, shaking her head and giggling.

Xu Deyong pointed towards the house and asked, "What should they do?"

Xu Huizhen pursed her lips and said, "If it were just the two adults, I would definitely not care, but there are two children... The children are innocent, right?"

Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Okay, we can't let the child suffer with us, so let him stay with us for two days."

Xu Huizhen blinked and said in a lower voice: "Then... lend her another 200 yuan?"

Xu Deyong said meaningfully: "You can lend them, but we need them to write an IOU. We are helping them. Although we don't expect anything in return, we don't want to end up owing them money just for helping them!"

"Also, it's best that He Juetou never show up near the tavern, especially not near Li'er. This tavern now belongs to the state. Even if we allow private operation in the future, we will take it back, and Li'er will be the final heir."

"Don't let him have any fluke mentality, otherwise, I will let him know what it means to be unable to take care of himself!"

"Yeah." Xu Huizhen nodded obediently, and there was a hint of a little girl in her eyes when she looked at Xu Deyong.

The couple reached a preliminary agreement.

After Xu Huizhi finished her meal, Xu Huizhen called her to the room.

Half an hour later, the two came out. Xu Huizhi had tears on her face. She glanced at Xu Deyong who was playing with the three children, and then quickly looked away.

During this short period of time, Xu Deyong had already washed the hair and faces of her two maids, combed their hair and tied them into pigtails, and also applied fragrant cold cream on their faces.

The two little girls immediately looked much fresher and prettier.

At this time, the three girls were playing on the slide and swing made by Xu Deyong in the yard and having a lot of fun!

Little Lixia couldn't walk very well yet, so she had to be taken care of by Xu Deyong while playing, and she screamed in anxiety.

As long as children have something to eat and play with, they are easy to please, especially at this time.

As for Ping'er, she plays it almost every day and is already familiar with it.

But with two friends, the fun is more enjoyable.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhi called Chunfen over and said, "Chunfen, you are three years old now and you understand things a little bit. Mommy is going to the hospital to take care of your daddy. Can you and your sister stay at your third aunt's house for a few days?"

Xiao Chunfen pursed her lips, looked at her, then looked at Xu Deyong who was playing with Xiao Lixia, and her beautiful third aunt, and nodded slightly.

Xu Huizhi patted her head and said, "Then you should take better care of your sister, listen to your third aunt and her husband, and don't cause trouble for her. Mom will come to pick you up in two days."

"Yeah." Xiao Chunfen nodded gently again.

After finishing her instructions, Xu Huizhi said to Xu Deyong and the others, "Sister, brother-in-law, I'm sorry to bother you. I'm leaving now."

After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xu Huizhen looked at her departing back, a trace of pity flashed across her eyes, but in the end she said nothing.

……

Xu Huizhi returned to the hospital and paid the fee first so that the hospital could perform surgery on He Yongqiang as soon as possible.

Back in the ward, He Yongqiang was lying on the bed and saw her coming back. He said unhappily, "It's already noon, and you've disappeared so early in the morning. Where have you been?"

Then he glanced at her and asked, "Where's the child?"

Xu Huizhi lowered her eyebrows and said in a low voice, "I put it with my sister."

"What!" He Yongqiang was immediately furious. He sat up and said, "You went to find her? Who told you to go?"

"Let's go home now. Even if I die, I won't beg her!"

Other people in the ward looked at them strangely, and some even expressed disgust because of his loud noise.

Xu Huizhi held him back and pleaded in a low voice, "Okay, Yongqiang, stop being so loud. You're making fun of me. I've already paid for the surgery, and the hospital has already arranged it. It will be done tomorrow morning." "Besides, if something happens to you, how will we, an orphan and a widow, live?"

He Yongqiang is a soft-hearted person, so he fell for this. Upon hearing this, the corners of his mouth twitched and he was speechless for a moment.

Xu Huizhi said softly, "You take a rest first. I'll go buy some food."

After saying that, he picked up the aluminum lunch box on the bedside table and walked out.

He Yongqiang was filled with anger, and the more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, but he could only rage helplessly.

He snorted heavily, then simply leaned over and lay on the bed pretending to sleep!

……

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

Xiao Chunfen and Xiao Lixia were already enjoying themselves so much that they didn't want to leave. Except for the first night when Xiao Lixia made a fuss, she was fine by the second night.

Especially in the afternoon, after Xiao Li'er finishes school at kindergarten, several little girls run around in and out of the house.

Xu Huizhen was very tired at this time. Little Lixia couldn't walk yet. She watched her sisters coming in and out, and it was useless for her to scream in anxiety.

In the evening, when Xu Deyong came back from cleaning up the tavern, the little girls who were tired from playing had already gone to bed.

Xu Deyong simply washed up and went to bed. Xu Huizhen was so sleepy that she yawned.

Seeing this, Xu Deyong said, "Don't wait for me anymore, just go to sleep first."

"It's okay." Xu Huizhen leaned over and hugged his arm, mumbling, "You were waiting for me before, too."

Xu Deyong said, "How can you compare with me? I have so much energy. Besides, you are pregnant now, so you are sleepy."

Xu Huizhen closed her eyes and said, "Don't look down on women. Women hold up half the sky...!"

As she was talking, the woman became quiet.

Xu Deyong touched her face which had become a little fatter, slowly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

……

The next day, September 9, the "Decision on Cadres Participating in Physical Labor" was issued.

It is required that "all staff members of various government agencies, military units, enterprises and institutions, except those who are too old or sick to participate in physical labor or who can only participate in light physical labor, must spend at least one month each year participating in physical labor."

The scope of people participating in physical labor was further expanded to almost all cadres, including private managers in public-private partnerships.

The neighborhood committee director held a meeting at the street level for the whole morning, and then convened another meeting of all the members of the neighborhood committee in the afternoon.

Fan Jinyou had established a firm foothold in the neighborhood committee by reporting his work to Director Li of the street every now and then, and bringing some gifts to flatter him. However, compared with his previous bossy behavior in the tavern, he is naturally much more low-key now.

The director spoke first: "Everyone has seen the latest decision from above. Our neighborhood committee and the public-private joint ventures below also have a list. Let's discuss the candidates."

"As for the candidates for the neighborhood committee, Director Li mentioned Fan Jinyou. What do you think of Fan Jinyou?"

Fan Jinyou immediately said: "Resolutely obey the organization's arrangements and actively participate in labor construction."

The director's wife nodded and said, "Well, Secretary Fan has a good consciousness, and Director Li also values ​​young cadres. So the person who will be sent down to work by the neighborhood committee this time is Fan Jinyou. What do you think?"

Everyone shook their heads to indicate no.

The director said, "Secretary Fan, although this time it only takes one month, it happens to be during the autumn harvest season. You have to perform well. This neighborhood committee will have to rely on you young people to take the lead in the future!"

Fan Jinyou smiled and said, "Just wait and see, Director Madam, I promise not to bring shame to our neighborhood committee!"

The director said, "Then let's discuss the list of cadres who have been transferred to the public-private partnership units. We won't discuss the tavern and other units that people have just visited. What do you think?"
