Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 69

After Xu Deyong went out, he checked the mutton placed in the car and found it was still there.

Hey, let’s go home and get some winter melon to boil, so that the old lady can satisfy her cravings and rinse her intestines!

Xu Deyong rode a tricycle through the streets and alleys. Several boys pushed the hoops and ran past, followed by several others chasing after him.

This hoop is made of steel bars bent into a circle, welded at the joints, and then an iron bar is bent into a handle, and the hoop is pushed around, and each boy runs like a deer.

While running, someone sang: "Small hoop, round and round. I pushed the hoop to the campus. When I saw the teacher, I stood up straight. The teacher looked at me with a straight face."

The next person took over: "Little iron hoop, clatter, clatter. I pushed the hoop to my aunt's house. I met my aunt and said hello. She won't let me run around."

"Small hoop, go around, I push the hoop to look for Erdan, Erdan makes a face when he sees me, it scares me to the point of breaking out in a sweat..."

……

Not to mention the hoop, if it is round, you can roll it around and play with anything.

The premise is that you have to resist the beating!
By the twelfth lunar month, there seems to be an atmosphere of anticipation and hope in the air.

Xu Deyong rode among these alleys, as if he could feel the ancient warmth bursting out again.

I want to play a Song of Ice and Fire this winter.

"Oh!"

Some boy couldn't wait to light a firecracker he picked up from someone's wedding.

It's just that the voice seems a bit lonely, without a companion to harmonize it!
Xu Deyong looked around and saw no one, so he smiled and rode past.

……

Back in the courtyard, Xu Deyong got rid of several boys and went home with mutton in his arms.

The third uncle, Yan Bugui, was tinkering with his broken chair at the door.

Seeing Xu Deyong, he narrowed his eyes and said hello with a smile: "Hey, Deyong is back. Why are you dressed so energetically today?"

Xu Deyong chuckled and said: "The third uncle is busy. I have nothing to do. My friends are here to invite me to dinner."

"Really, if you're in a good mood, you'll definitely get a good meal out of the restaurant." Yan Bugui couldn't help but swallowed, as if he had imagined that scene.

He sniffed and said, "Well, I seem to smell a mutton smell. You probably ate mutton stew."

Xu Deyong couldn't help but grin, this guy's nose is not that of a dog, right?
He smiled and did not answer, but said: "Then you are busy, I'm going back."

"Hey, Deyong, wait a minute." Yan Bugui hurriedly called him.

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "Third uncle, what do you want?"

Yan Bugui was inexplicably frightened when he saw Xu Deyong narrowing his eyes, and then he smiled and said: "Deyong, the third uncle's chair is always wobbly and not strong, and my craftsmanship is not good, so you can pick it up for the third uncle!"

"Hi!" Xu Deyong said with a smile in a blink of an eye: "Whatever I do, just leave this little thing to me. I guarantee that you will find something solid."

Yan Bugui smiled and praised: "Look, it must be Deyong. I saw your new windows. They are so festive and beautiful. I want to make two and replace them."

Xu Deyong said: "If you want to change it, buy the materials yourself and I will make them for you. They are all from the neighbors. Just pay me for the crafting fee..."

Yan Bugui twitched the corner of his mouth and said, "I still have to think about this matter. You can help me pick up the chair first."

"Sure." Xu Deyong stepped forward and took the chair and said, "Then you can get it later."

"Thank you, Third Master." Yan Bugui smiled and cupped his hands.

After Xu Deyong left, Yan Bugui returned to the room. The third lady who was cooking asked: "Xu Deyong, can you fix it?"

Yanbu Gui raised his head and said: "Of course, I am the third uncle in the courtyard. How can he not handle such a trivial matter? How dare he not handle it!"

The third aunt smiled and didn't point it out.

Yan Bugui continued: "This kid is also a thief. I'll try to let him do the window work. He also wants to pay for the labor. Hey, he is a neighbor and he has the nerve to ask!" The third aunt curled her lips and said: "His grandma is so smart. , even if Xu Deyong agrees, her grandma will not agree, so don’t even think about taking advantage of him."

Yan Bugui said with a smile: "Hey, if there are jujubes but no jujubes, hit three poles, just in case it works."

Then he pursed his lips and said: "I see Xu Deyong's arms are bulging, and I can still smell the smell of mutton. This kid probably bought mutton. I won't be surprised if the smell of mutton comes out of his house later."

The third aunt sighed: "Seeing that someone who does not have a formal job and rides a tricycle, life is getting better and better. When can we eat more meat!"

A sad look flashed in Yan Bugui's eyes and he said, "Hey, now that you have a family, forget about these four people. Let's get over this year first!"

……

When Xu Deyong returned home, he smiled when he saw the floral cloth on the chair and said, "Oh, grandma, you are so smart, I bought these curtains."

Xu Nanshi glanced at him and said: "Ah, I bought it. It cost more than two yuan plus the cloth ticket, and I had someone sew the edges. If you didn't have to buy new clothes this year, I wouldn't buy it anyway!"

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "Hey, isn't it just a little cloth? I'll get you some white cloth later to put on our quilt."

Xu Nanshi said vigilantly: "As long as you can, just be honest and don't go out to mess around. Do you still have money on you? Tell the truth, have you returned the ten yuan to Boss Chen?"

Xu Deyong said without blushing and without a beating heart: "Return it. If you don't believe me, I will take you and ask."

After saying that, Xu Nanshi took out the mutton and said, without waiting for anything else, "This is the leftover mutton we had for lunch. You can stew it with some winter melon. The third uncle asked me to repair the chair, so I'm busy." "

He said that he found the tools and walked out.

"Hey..." Xu Nanshi looked at a pack of mutton, which weighed a pound at least. Then she shook her head and said, "This kid is always taking advantage of others. Isn't Yanbu expensive?"

Xu Deyong went out to cut off some plugs and re-fixed the joints of the chairs. It was done in a few minutes.

Let the third uncle, a "scholar", do it, and it may not be done in half an hour!

After Xu Deyong finished repairing, he placed the chair under the corridor and asked the third uncle to take it by himself.

"Kang, ku, ku, ku..."

The sound of Xu Nan's chopping radishes could be heard in the house. Since there was no winter melon at home, she could only stew mutton with radishes.

Xu Deyong did not enter the room, rubbing his chin and thinking. He was very dissatisfied with his performance on the ice today. He had to be good at skating, but he didn't have skates for practice, so he couldn't be so shameless as to borrow Elena's.

Professional skates are too expensive. People can play with wooden boards by pressing iron bars on them and tying them to shoes. Let’s make one ourselves.

Just do it.

Since you are going to do it, make it more refined, and it won’t be too inferior when compared with those skates!
Xu Deyong found a hardwood, sawed off a small section, and evenly divided it into two parts.

Holding two half-cylinder pieces of wood, Xu Deyong went into the house and found a charcoal pencil as long as his little finger. He measured the length of his feet, thought about it, and then sketched it on the plane of the wood.

Seeing this, Xu Nanshi asked, "What are you doing again?"

Xu Deyong said without raising his head: "Make a pair of skates."

Xu Nanshi muttered: "Not doing your job properly!"

As the mutton and radish are added to the pot, the smell of mutton soon spreads.

The first person to smell it was the cook next door.

He Yuzhu smacked his lips and said: "Hey, this Xu Deyong's life is really good. Is riding a three-wheeler so profitable?"

He Yuyu pinched the wowotou and sighed: "Hey, time flies so slowly, why is it not the New Year yet? I want to eat Brother Yong's meat."

He Yuzhu was delighted when he heard this and said: "That Xu Deyong is Tang Monk. If you still want to eat his flesh, ask him if he is willing!"
