Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 80 Laba
As soon as Mrs. Jia Zhang returned to the room, she couldn't wait to say: "Hey, what did I say before? Xu Deyong is really a bad spy if he doesn't have enough money. I had doubts before he got a tunic suit and leather shoes."

"Now it's another watch. Dongxu can't afford it even if he doesn't eat or drink for more than a year. Unless he sells the three-wheeled bicycle, where will the money come from? He should pay back what others gave him... ….”

Qin Huairu saw that Xiaobanggan's eyes were bright and alert, so she interrupted and said, "Mom, we don't know about this, so we'd better say less."

Before Jia Zhang could get angry, she said quickly: "I'm going to cook."

"Hmph." Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly and said, "Dongxu, do you think what I said makes sense?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes flickered and he said, "It's not up to us whether we take care of it or not. Aren't there three masters in charge?"

Jia Zhang said disdainfully: "They are just three cobblers. They can't stand up to Zhuge Liang. After much discussion, what can they do to Xu Deyong?"

"Unless..." Jia Zhang rolled her eyes.

Jia Dongxu said in a low voice: "Will they report it to the police?"

Jia Zhang said: "If you are really a bad element, you will be rewarded..."

……

Xu Deyong moved the briquette stove into the house and set it up.

Xu Nanshi closed the door and said with a serious expression: "Xiaoyong, tell grandma the truth, where did this watch come from?"

Xu Deyong couldn't help but smile when he saw his grandma's expression.

Xu Nanshi was worried and angry at the same time: "You still want to laugh, those three guys don't know how to get you to confess!"

Xu Deyong helped Xu Nanshi sit down and said, "Grandma, this watch was really given by someone else, that person from Dasu."

Xu Nanshi said: "Then why does she give you such a valuable thing?"

Xu Deyong pondered for a while and said: "Grandma, to tell you the truth, we encountered an accident in Shanghai before, and I saved her life..."

"Ah..." Xu Nanshi said in shock: "What accident happened? Are you okay? This life-related matter must be very dangerous..."

Xu Deyong held grandma's stiff hand and comforted him: "Grandma, it's not dangerous to me at all. Don't you think I'm fine now? I was just afraid that you would be worried, so I didn't tell you!"

Xu Nan knew that things would not be as simple as Sun Tzu said, but the matter was already at this point, and Sun Tzu was well behaved, so it would be useless to say more.

She said with lingering fear: "We'd better not go out from now on, just stay here in Sijiu City."

Xu Deyong smiled and said nothing.

Xu Nanshi was still a little worried and said, "Then there won't be any problem with her giving you the watch, right?"

Xu Deyong said: "What's the problem? Someone gave me a watch to thank me for saving my life. I told the three uncles that the watch was a gift. Who do they blame if they don't believe it? If they can, they will investigate."

He thought to himself: It would be better to make a big fuss, so that a lot of troubles can be solved once and for all.

In the future, he will take out some things to see who dares to beep.

Say goodbye to envy!

After saying that, Xu Deyong continued to work.

Life is about working, making food, and making people...

He installed the chimney, determined the position of the outward opening, hammered and chiseled, and it was done quickly.

Extend the chimney and seal the gap with the remaining mud.

That's it, you can start burning briquettes tomorrow.

……

The days have turned around, and time has come to the day after tomorrow.

It snowed lightly yesterday, and you can still see traces of snow on the roof and corners.

The courtyard is calm, but there seems to be an undercurrent brewing.

Today is the Laba Festival:
Don't be hungry, kid, kid.
After Laba is the New Year.

Laba porridge, drink for a few days,
Lililala23…….

Laba Festival is called "Buddha Enlightenment Festival", also known as "Enlightenment Meeting".

Laba porridge, also known as "Seven Treasures and Five Flavors Porridge", "Buddha Porridge", "Everyone's Rice", etc.

Wu Zimu's "Meng Liang Lu" of the Southern Song Dynasty records: "On the eighth day of this month, the temple calls it Laba porridge. Temples such as Dasha and other temples all serve five-flavor porridge, which is called Laba porridge."

Xu Deyong got up early in the morning and went out to exercise as usual, while grandma was cooking porridge and peeling garlic in the house. The garlic was used to soak "Laba garlic" and was eaten with dumplings during the Chinese New Year. It was delicious!

He Yuzhu saw that Xu Deyong was still "free" to exercise, and couldn't help but smile and said: "Hey, Xu Deyong, the three uncles didn't give you any trouble?"

Xu Deyong was bouldering and squatting while thinking about the profound question of how to practice the art of Lao Ai's rotation...

Hearing this, he didn't even look at him and said: "How new, I didn't do anything bad, why are they causing trouble for me!" He Yuzhu: "..."

The corners of his mouth twitched and he said, "Why do you say 'I'?"

Xu Deyong said: "Didn't you also say that? You are looking for a fight, right?"

He Yuzhu: "..."

Xu Deyong continued leisurely: "Have you been gloating over misfortunes these past two days? You are a bit of a humble person. If you are close, you will be disrespectful. If you are far, you will be resentful. You must always beat me, otherwise you will always betray the heart of the Lord."

He Yuzhu: "..."

Damn it, what's wrong with me gloating about my misfortune?Backing the Lord, bullshit, bah!

His fists as big as sandbags couldn't help but clenched, making a "click" sound.

Xu Deyong glanced at it and said, "Want to give it a try?"

He Yuzhu licked his lips and said firmly: "Is that enough?"

"it is good!"

……

"Oh!"

Xu Deyong knocked He Yuzhu to the ground with just one move. He clapped his hands and said calmly: "That's it?"

He Yuzhu looked at the sky with lifeless eyes.

God, earth, why is this?
Why do I "regress" even though my training is about the same?

Could it be that I have to be crushed under him for the rest of my life...!
……

At the same time, Xu Huizhen from the tavern also got up, fed the child, hugged the child and recited the Three-Character Sutra and coaxed: "In the beginning, human nature is good, similar in nature, but distant in habits. If you are stubborn, your nature will change..."

After putting the child to sleep, she carefully put the child into the crib.

He went to the kitchen non-stop to heat up porridge and deliver it to his bedridden father-in-law.

"Dad, how do you feel? Have some porridge, no one's body can withstand it without eating." Xu Huizhen said with concern: "How about you stop being so stubborn, I'll take you to the hospital."

Old Man He opened his eyes, slowly shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I won't drink... and I won't go..."

Xu Huizhen said: "Dad, please don't get serious with He Yongqiang. He is just a stubborn person and can't pull ten cows away from him if he wants to do something he is sure of."

Old Man He said: "Then...then you let them elope like this?"

Sadness flashed across Xu Huizhen's face, and she said firmly: "I have figured it out. Since he can't get along with me, he will go with Huizhi, and I will get the divorce certificate from him later."

When Old He heard this, he closed his eyes with despair.

Xu Huizhen continued: "Dad, you want to be more open-minded. You also have a child now. Although you are a girl, it is not a new society now. I will help you get up and drink some porridge."

When she touched Old He, she felt that his body was hot. She touched her forehead and her expression changed: "Dad, you are too hot. I have to go find a doctor."

Saying to go.

"Stone..." Old Man He said with difficulty.

"what did you say?"

"Our rocks, the rocks in our pickle jar... those are all treasures..."

"I know." Xu Huizhen responded after taking two steps.

"Don't leave, and... there are also those tables, chairs, benches, etc. Even if the tavern's business is not good... none of those furniture can be sold..." Old Man He gasped.

"Hey, I understand, that is your lifeblood." Xu Huizhen agreed and left again.

"Hey, there's more..., go back and find out the note that I... wrote to He Yongqiang..." When Old He said this, he gritted his teeth and said with force: "Tear it up, tear it up..."

He kept repeating these two words, which showed how angry and disappointed he was with He Yongqiang, and he didn't want to leave anything to He Yongqiang!
Xu Huizhen said: "I understand, don't worry about this, I'll call the health station..."

As he spoke, the man ran out...

……

At the same time, two policemen from the street police station wearing big-brimmed hats walked into the gate of Xu Deyong's courtyard...
