Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 57 Stingy Xu Deyong
Three tricycles took the three people back.

Cai Quanwu sent Elena off, and then met Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong took her back with Chen Xueru.

When she arrived near Chen Xueru's house, she got out of the car and asked Xu Deyong to come over, handed him an envelope and said with a smile: "Don't be too little, there will be another chance in the future!"

Xu Deyong took it without looking at it and put it in his arms and said, "It's okay if you don't give it to me. If you give it, I will take care of you."

The envelope is very thin, I don’t know if it contains five yuan or ten yuan.

The minimum price is five yuan, and Chen Xueru can’t afford it without it!

Not to mention too little, not to mention clothes, even the "Shanghai specialties" he took back were more than five yuan.

Be content.

"Yes!" Chen Xueru nodded slightly with satisfaction after hearing this and said, "Okay, it's so late. Go back quickly. You'll be out for a few days. Don't let the old lady worry at home."

"Okay, sister, I'll see you later." Xu Deyong and Chen Xueru waved goodbye.

Chen Xueru watched Xu Deyong walk away, her eyes flashed and she smiled, then turned around and went home.

"Madam, you are back." The nanny opened the door for her and carried her things.

Chen Xueru glanced inside the room and said, "Where is Lao Hou?"

The nanny hesitated and said, "Mr. Hou is not here."

"Not here!" Chen Xueru's expression changed and she said, "Where is he going so late? He can't go back to his hometown!"

Of course the nanny didn't know, she lowered her head and said nothing.

Chen Xueru's chest heaved with anger, and she asked again: "Where is the child?"

The nanny said: "At the old lady's place."

Chen Xueru waved her hands impatiently and said, "Okay, it's so late, you go and have a rest."

After the nanny left, Chen Xueru angrily threw her bag on the sofa and said, "This bastard, if you don't give me an explanation tomorrow, I'll make him look good!"

……

Xu Deyong and Cai Quanwu met on the street.

Cai Quanwu got out of the car and said solemnly: "Deyong, what the car looked like when you gave it to me is what it looks like now. I promise you won't bump into it."

Xu Deyong said: "I believe in you."

Cai Quanwu nodded, took out the dime change from his arms and said: "I rode for seven days in total, and I also carried bags during this period. I made a total of six yuan and two six cents from soliciting customers, and three times was two yuan, eight and six cents. I Two dollars for you."

After saying that, Cai Quanwu handed the money to Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Brother Quanwu, you have calculated so clearly, don't you plan to treat me to a drink?"

"That's not possible." Cai Quanwu said quickly.

Xu Deyong took out two dollars and said: "That's it. Don't write ink, gentlemen in the capital. I'll be waiting for a drink in two days."

Cai Quanwu opened his mouth, and after hearing the words, he could only say: "That's it, I'll listen to you."

Xu Deyong rode on the car and threw a small bag of things to Cai Quanwu and said: "There are not many things brought from Shanghai. You can try it."

After saying that, without giving Cai Quanwu a chance to speak, he got on the car and left.

There weren't many things given, just a handful of spiced beans, two pear candies, and a piece of Takahashi waffle.

Cai Quanwu watched Xu Deyong go away, opened the oil paper, looked at it, picked up a spiced bean and put it into his mouth.

"Crack."

Cai Quanwu's ugly face couldn't help but grin, and then strode home.

It took Xu Deyong two and ten minutes to return to the courtyard.

The bag was empty when I left, but it was full when I came in. The bulging bag still had an alluring fragrance, and it had already attracted everyone on the train.

He got out of the car and tried to push the door, but it didn't open. It was already tied up inside, so he had to knock on the door and call someone.

"Bang bang bang...!"

Xu Deyong hammered at the door, not daring to use too much force, for fear of accidentally breaking it and making him pay for it.

Soon there was movement inside.

Yan Bugui, wearing glasses and disheveled, tightened his clothes, rubbed his hands and muttered in exasperation: "Who are you, why don't you let me rest at night?"

Xu Deyong said: "Third Master, it's me, Xu Deyong."

"Ouch!" Yan Bugui's little eyes gleamed and he said, "Who do I think you are? It turns out to be Deyong. Did you just get off the train so late?"

Then he walked to the door and opened it.

When Xu Deyong saw the door open, he carried the car in and said, "No, it's hard to take the train back and forth."

Yan Bugui looked at Xu Deyong through the dim light. Hey, this Chinese tunic suit is really elegant. If he wears it on himself and doesn't have a pen on his chest, he will be a classy cultural person. It's a pity...

"Shhhhh..."

At this time, he sniffed and smelled a mixed fragrance.

The eyes behind the glasses suddenly lit up, as if they were reflecting light.Mother, what is it?It smells so good!
His eyes quickly fell on Xu Deyong's bulging cloth bag. This was a good thing brought back from Shanghai!
Xu Deyong squatted down to lock the car, and suddenly felt like he was being targeted by a 'wolf' on his back.

Get rid of this old thing first!

So, he stood up, took out a handful of spiced beans and stuffed it into Yan Bugui's pocket and said: "Third uncle, thank you for opening the door for me so late. Don't dislike the snacks you brought back from Shanghai. It's so late and you should go to bed early." ah."

After speaking, the soles of the feet were oily.

"Hey..., hey, you..." Yan Bugui stretched out his hand. The third uncle's score had not yet been laid out. The words were on his lips but he did not say them out. Xu Deyong's figure had disappeared in the courtyard.

"Hey, this bastard." Yan Bugui felt a little uncomfortable and could only swallow the words again.

He took out the spiced beans Xu Deyong gave him and put one in his mouth. He chewed it with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

It’s so fragrant and delicious!

After eating one, I touched my pocket and felt that it was not much. I was reluctant to eat it and planned to save it for drinking.

A spiced bean, a sip of wine, just thinking about it makes you happy.

If you have the right to go to Shu, Yan Bugui walked home and thought to himself: "This boy has a lot of money in his bag. He must have more good things. I only give him so much as the third uncle. He is really stingy!"

"Hey, people's hearts are not as old as they used to be, and the world is getting worse!"

He returned home and closed the door. The third aunt said on the bed: "I heard the voice is that Xu Deyong is back?"

"Yeah." Yanbu Gui said disdainfully: "It's not that boy who brought a big bag of good things and only gave me a few beans."

"Dad, what beans?"

"Dad, give me a few to try."

"Father, I want to eat too."

"Dad, I want to eat candy."

Good guy, there is such a long list of "jiliguala", Yan Jiecheng and others all raised their heads from the bed and said eagerly.

Yan Bugui: "..."

He blinked his little eyes and said with a bit of pain: "Okay, but there aren't a few in total, so just give one to each person."

As he said this, he reluctantly took out the spiced beans and gave one to each of them, including the third aunt.

Yan Jiekuang looked at the five-spice beans in his hand and shouted, "Dad, mine is smaller than my brother's."

Yan Bugui said: "Okay, don't yell at night, I will give you a bigger one."

"Crack, bang..."

Suddenly there was a continuous 'bang' sound in the room.

"It smells..."

"It's delicious!"

"Dad, I haven't tasted one yet, please give me another one."

……

Yan Bugui said angrily: "No, just sleep well. If you want to eat again, it depends on your own ability. But there is one thing, you are not allowed to steal, otherwise your legs will be broken."

The third aunt also tasted it and said: "Hey, these beans brought from other places are really delicious. I don't know how to make them."

Yan Bugui couldn't help but take another one, and then said with a very understanding look: "What do you know? That's Shanghai. The conditions are better than those in our four-nine cities. There are cars and big ships everywhere."

"Really, you know so much!" The third aunt looked at Yan Bugui with a little admiration.

"That's not true. I am also a cultural person after all. A scholar can know everything about the world without going out." Yanbu Gui said proudly.

……

Xu Deyong came to the door of his house, knocked on the door and said, "Mistress, I'm back."

Immediately, the lights in the room came on, and Xu Nanshi hurriedly came out wearing clothes and opened the door. She was both surprised and complained: "Oh, Xiaoyong, why are you back so late? Come in quickly, don't freeze!"

"Oh." Xu Deyong went in and put the bag on the table.

Xu Nanshi kept asking: "Did the journey go well? Did there be any accidents? What did you eat on the way...?"

All kinds of questions came to Xu Deyong one after another, and his concern was beyond words.

Xu Deyong just took out the contents of the bag with a smile.

Immediately, Xu Nanshi's goal changed. After all, Xu Deyong must be fine if he is sitting here properly.

"Oh, what is this?"

"Is this a brown sugar cube?"

……

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Milk, don't keep asking, just have a taste!"
