Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 42 The old lady goes out

Inside the clock core, a bearing was broken and two teeth of the gear were broken.

You can't do this with your current equipment.

But there are people nearby who can handle it, such as Yi Zhonghai or Liu Haizhong.

As the saying goes, there are specialties in the industry, and they don't know how to repair clocks. But with their superb benchwork skills, they can still fill teeth and connect bearings by hand.

Comparing the two, Yi Zhonghai's character is naturally more reliable.

I lent him a broom before, so he wouldn't not help with this small favor, hehe!

Come back tonight and ask.

At this time, grandma came out, put on newer blue cloth clothes, and wrapped her gray hair with a scarf, looking like an old lady in good spirits.

That is to say, I have suffered too much in the past and showed my age, but in the future, I will still be the main square dancer in my 60s!
Xu Deyong quickly gathered the things together and said with a shy face, "Grandma, let me carry you."

Xu Nanshi smiled and pretended to blame: "I didn't bind my feet. You want to carry me for another 20 years!"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Then I can save my effort. If you have the ability, let me carry it again in 40 years."

Xu Nanshi patted him and said, "What are you doing living for so long? I'm not really immortal."

Xu Deyong said: "It's great to be immortal. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. When the time comes, you will be the biggest treasure in the family."

"Stop talking nonsense, it will make people laugh." Xu Nanshi said with a smile.

The two opened the door and went out. The eldest mother came out to pour water. Seeing this, she smiled and said, "Are you two going out?"

Xu Nanshi smiled and said: "I'm not worried about this little bastard. He just hasn't been out for a long time, so he just went out for a walk."

The eldest mother said: "Then please slow down."

Bangge, this naughty kid doesn't seem to know how cold it is. He's wearing crotchless cotton pants and sticking his butt out, but he doesn't know what he's doing.

Mrs. Jia Zhang sat at the door with her eyes drooped, picking up the soles of her shoes. She glanced at her from time to time, but Qin Huairu was not there, and she didn't know what she was doing.

Both sides missed it, and no one paid attention to the other.

Xiaobanggan tilted his head and looked at Xu Deyong, blinked his eyes and said nothing.

Arriving at the door, Xu Deyong helped grandma get into the car.

Yan Jiekuang was playing at the door. When he saw this, he rolled his eyes and ran over quickly: "Brother Deyong, Grandma Nan, you are going out."

When Yan Jiedi saw her brother running over, she also ran over, but she muttered twice and did not open her mouth.

"Yeah." Xu Deyong nodded and said, "You guys go ahead and play."

After that, he took his grandma away by bike.

If they get it too easily, they don’t know how to cherish it, and some people will take advantage of it.

Although he doesn't care about one or two candies, he doesn't do such a thing.

Giving once is a sign of "love" between neighbors, and giving again without any reason will be regarded as being taken advantage of.

People might say you are stupid behind your back while you are eating.

For example, Silly Pillar!
Yan Jiekuang and Yan Jiedi had a flash of disappointment in their eyes, and they had no choice but to go back to playing angrily.

Xu Deyong took his grandma to the street, riding slowly.

When she saw familiar things or places, the old lady quickly started chatting, saying that her grandfather took her out to see it some time, and that the changes were so great.

Xu Nan is considered to be "well-informed" among her generation in the alley.

Many old ladies in alleys may have only wandered around the streets their entire lives, and have not even seen Sijiucheng.

Xu Deyong listened to the old lady talking all the way, and chimed in a few words from time to time, which made the old lady very happy.

When they came to Qianqian Street, Xu Nan looked at the streets on both sides: "Hey, this is really lively."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "No, if you are willing to see it, I will take you out every day from now on."

Xu Nanshi waved her hands and said: "Well, how can that be done? You still have to make money, and I have already contacted the neighborhood committee. If there is another task of pasting matchboxes, I will also receive some. I can buy some oil, salt, sauce and vinegar with a few cents. good."

Xu Deyong said helplessly: "Grandma, not everyone can do this job of gluing matchboxes. We give priority to the family members of the factory, and then the residents living in difficulty nearby. It's not your turn." Xu Nan said confidently: "Why not? Come to me? Our family is also in a difficult situation. You have no father or mother, and you have to support me, an old woman, and you don’t even have a wife. Who can be more difficult than our family!"

Yes, Xu Deyong grinned helplessly and thought to himself: "You are riding on the grandson's tricycle, and you are not letting anyone know about the clock, the play box, the meat and pastries at home. You are really capable of this job."

He didn't try to persuade her again. Anyway, after the neighborhood committee inquired about it, it was determined that there was no chance.

Arrive at the entrance of "Xueru Silk Shop".

Xu Deyong got out of the driveway: "Grandma, I am the boss here."

Xu Nan looked at the big shop, where people were coming and going, and various silk cloths were scattered on the counter. She couldn't help but muttered in her heart: "Oh, these cloths are so beautiful, how much are they worth? Grandma won't go in like this." Now, just go say hello and let grandma take a look."

Xu Deyong said in his heart: "I am not as good as you!"

He advised: "Grandma, we are doing business and opening the door to welcome customers. Even if you don't buy something, go in and have a look, and no one will say anything."

Xu Nanshi shook her head and said, "I won't go."

Xu Deyong had no choice. The old lady said that she wanted to come over to confirm, but she backed down when the final step was taken.

He had no choice but to say: "Then you wait in the car. I'll go in and ask about the departure date."

"You go ahead." Xu Nanshi waved her hand.

Seeing Xu Deyong turn around and walk towards the store, she followed closely.

Xu Deyong pushed the door open and walked in. Chen Xueru was flipping through the account books. Lao Zhang looked up and whispered in her ear.

Chen Xueru heard this and closed the account book and handed it to Lao Zhang. Lao Zhang walked away knowingly.

Seeing Xu Deyong return to his original appearance, Chen Xueru narrowed her beautiful eyes and said, "You came here quite early."

Xu Deyong walked over and said with a smile: "Sister, please don't be too tight on your affairs."

Chen Xueru waved her hand and said, "I don't believe it now. You should go and get busy. You still look good in this outfit."

Xu Deyong showed a look of "embarrassment" and said: "No, it's just that the clothes are too good. The tricycle I wore was a bit eye-catching. Sister, you don't know, my grandma was scared when I put it on when I went home, thinking that I had done something wrong outside. What about."

"Really?" Chen Xueru felt a little funny when she saw his look. The corners of her mouth slightly raised and she said, "You didn't explain it to her."

Xu Deyong spread his hands and said: "I explained it, but she doesn't believe it and has to come over to confirm it in person."

Chen Xueru raised her eyebrows and said, "Did you bring the old lady here?"

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "She's in the car outside. I'm a bit cautious about letting her in."

Chen Xueru glanced outside and saw an old lady sitting in the car.

She thought for a moment with her beautiful eyes and said: "You have been calling me sister. The old lady is here. It's hard to explain why I don't see her. I'll go ahead and calm your minds and go out and do things well."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Sister, please wait. I'm afraid that with you here, I won't be able to use my strength."

Chen Xueru raised her white chin and said, "That's better. Open the door in front."

Xu Deyong smiled and did as he was told.

Chen Xueru walked to the silk counter and took out a handkerchief. After thinking about it, she put it down and replaced it with a cloth handkerchief.

Most of these handkerchiefs are made from scraps of cloth left over from making clothes. They are generally small, about 23 centimeters.

Silk ones are more expensive, costing one or two cents, while cloth ones only cost a few cents. They are usually given as gifts to customers who make clothes.

Chen Xueru took it and followed Xu Deyong out.

Xu Nanshi outside was secretly watching carefully, but she didn't expect that the boss her grandson was talking about was a woman, and she was so beautiful and glamorous, just like a lady in the old society.

Oh, if they come out, they won't come for me, right?what to do?
Hey, no, what are you afraid of?

Old lady, I didn’t do anything wrong, so why are you panicking?
