Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

89 stab scratch
After eating, Xu Nan took out a newspaper and handed it to Xu Deyong and said: "Xiaoyong, look at it, the country is good, even the characters have been simplified, it will be easier to study in the future, you should study more when you are still young, then you will You shouldn't drop out of school just because of your temper..."

Amidst grandma's nagging, Xu Deyong took the newspaper and read it. This was the Sijiucheng Daily from April [-] last year.

The title is "Why should we promote simplified Chinese characters" and "This newspaper will start trialling some simplified Chinese characters from May [-]st."

There are a total of 57 trial simplified characters. As for the characters before they were simplified, Xu Deyong felt a little numb in the eyes of future generations.

For example, before the word "party" was simplified, it was "party"... You can see the picture for the others.

No wonder the illiteracy phenomenon is so serious. If this is not simplified and left to future generations, it will be difficult to learn. Elementary school students may "collapse" after seeing it!
Moreover, at this time, it was not alphabetic pinyin annotation, but "phonetic notation" was implemented.

For example: ㄜㄚㄜㄧㄨㄩㄝㄞㄟ
. . . . . .

It's also in the dictionary now. Doesn't it look similar to the boy's language?

That's right, this thing is a phonetic notation method created by Zhang Taiyan in the late Qing Dynasty and the early Republic of China to imitate the boy's "kana" (using Chinese characters side by side to indicate the pronunciation).

It was promulgated as the standard phonetic notation method by the Ministry of Education during the Beiyang Government, and our TW should still be used now.

Of course, the kid’s culture is ultimately an extension of our culture.

Xu Deyong said: "Yes, my grandson will study hard and make progress every day."

Xu Nanshi was very satisfied with Xu Deyong's attitude, nodded and said: "As society develops, you can't just keep your thoughts on your own."

"Hey." Xu Deyong said happily, "Grandma, your consciousness has improved really quickly."

Xu Nanshi said angrily: "Don't make fun of grandma."

Xu Deyong grinned and said: "Grandma, if you want to make progress, there is actually something that can help you."

"What?" Xu Nan couldn't help but ask.

"It's far away but close at hand." Xu Deyong pointed at the briquette stove and said: "This thing is easy to use and saves coal. It may be popularized sooner or later. Grandma, you can go ahead and talk to Director Zhou about it."

Xu Nanshi frowned and said, "This stove is not cheap."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "The iron stove can be used in the same way. The key is to install the sleeve protective tiles inside."

Xu Nanshi glared at him and said, "Why spend so much money on making a stove when you can use it?"

Xu Deyong chuckled and said: "It's warm with a chimney. Later I will turn the old iron sheet briquette stove into a briquette-burning stove. When the weather gets warm, it can be put outside for easy use."

"Just spend as much money as you can." Xu Nanshi nodded and said.

Xu Deyong was thick-skinned and didn't care at all.

After Xu Nan finished speaking as a habit, he looked at the briquette stove and began to think.

At this time, there was a soft knock on the door, and someone whispered: "Brother Deyong, Brother Deyong..."

"Who?" Xu Nan turned around and asked.

Xu Deyong said: "It's Liu Guangfu, I'll go take a look."

After that, he opened the door and lifted the cotton curtain and walked out.

When Liu Guangfu saw Xu Deyong, he looked around like a thief and lowered his voice: "Brother Deyong, come out with me. I have something to tell you."

Xu Deyong narrowed his eyes and said, "Okay."

Liu Guangfu said: "I'll go out to the toilet first. You can go out in two minutes."

Hey, this kid is quite alert.

Xu Deyong entered the room, put on his hat, drank two sips of tea and prepared to go out.

Xu Nanshi asked: "What does that kid want to do with you?"

Xu Deyong said: "I don't know. I'll go out and be back soon."

After saying that, he walked out, took a breath of hot air, put his hands in his sleeves, and walked slowly outside.

Arriving near the public toilet, Liu Guangfu's figure appeared from the darkness in the corner and said in a low voice: "Brother Deyong, this way..."

Xu Deyong took a closer look and saw that not only Liu Guangfu was there, but Liu Guangtian was also there.

He touched his chin and said, "What are you two sneaking up on me for?"

Liu Guangtian said with some fear: "Brother Deyong, please keep your voice down."

Liu Guangfu said: "Brother Deyong, we tell you, you can't betray us later."

"Yes, Brother Deyong, we trust you, you have to keep it secret for us." Liu Guangtian agreed.

Xu Deyong's eyes moved, and he said with a half-smile: "What's the matter? You don't mean to say that your father reported me, do you?"

Liu Guangtian: "..."

"You already knew it!" Liu Guangfu blurted out.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I wasn't sure at first, but now I'm convinced."

Liu Guangfu: "..."

Damn, Brother Deyong is such a dog!

The two brothers looked at each other and were immediately crestfallen. They took so much courage to tell the truth, but they didn't expect to be exposed in advance.

Well, I haven’t even caught the hair yet, so I still have to worry!
"Pa." Xu Deyong patted the shoulders of the two of them, and said sincerely: "You can risk your butts and tell me about this matter, and brother De Yong appreciates it. Don't worry, this matter can be treated as if it didn't happen. But, heaven knows and earth knows, you know and I know.”

"Oh……!"

"Yes……!"

The two responded listlessly.

Xu Deyong smiled, "took" out a handful of more than a dozen pieces from his pocket and said, "Brother Deyong is not a stingy person. You can share these candies. I will bring you snacks tomorrow."

The two of them immediately became energetic and suppressed their excitement and said, "Thank you, Brother Deyong!"

"Well, you go back first, I'll go to the hut."

After dismissing the two boys who were "carrying their father", Xu Deyong walked to the public toilet.

After walking a few steps, his ears twitched and he asked, "Who is there?"

No one made a sound in the darkness, but his breathing became faster. Xu Deyong's ears really became a little better in this quiet environment.

"If you don't come out again, I will throw stones." Xu Deyong threatened.

"No, Deyong." Qin Huairu's voice sounded a little guilty.

It's just that the sound is a bit weird, I don't know what I thought it was going on...

The two brothers were still not careful in their work... Also, they didn't dare to enter the women's restroom.

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "It's Sister-in-law Qin. I thought someone was trying to ambush me."

"What's the matter?" Qin Huairu forced a smile and said, "Deyong is so late, I'll go back first."

After that, he walked away quickly, flexing his gluteal muscles.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but touch his chin. They spoke in a low voice, so this girl shouldn't be able to hear them clearly. As for seeing them, just see them.

Besides, there is nothing you can do even if you hear him. You can't "kill people and silence" for this matter!

"Clatter..."

Xu Deyong quickly drained the water, and finally shook it with a shake... This guy seemed a little ready to make a move.

He couldn't help but cursed in a low voice: "Spineless thing..."

……

The sun rises day by day.

Today is the weekend again, and many working people will have to deal with the daily pile of things on this day, such as cleaning, repairing furniture, visiting the elderly, spending time with children, etc., and there is no way to have a good rest.

At this time, there is a saying of "Fighting Sunday, Tired Monday".

Xu Deyong was doing some bouldering exercises, and he thought in a new and distasteful way: "When the cart is changed the day after tomorrow, I will change it for you. You can no longer keep up with my waist strength!"

Today, He Yuzhu was more honest, working out hard, and most of the time he was thinking of taking advantage of the situation.

This guy will kill me!

After the exercise, Xu Deyong opened the blind box as usual.

"Snapped!"

A palm-sized packet wrapped in paper appeared in the blind box space, with three words written on it, "Rat Medicine."

Xu Deyong: "..."

Was he planning to kill his second uncle?

This person cannot think, just say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

Holding the chamber pot in her bangs, she walked out of the backyard with a figure-footed step.

After He Yuzhu said hello.

Xu Deyong also said with a smile: "The second uncle is up."

"Well, you are exercising." Liu Haizhong nodded and said, "Young people are energetic."

Xu Deyong sighed and said: "Oh, even if you are energetic, there will always be someone behind your back. Second uncle, please tell me, I didn't offend anyone, but who reported me? This is really not a thing. , I curse his children for being unfilial and having no one to support them when they grow old!"

"Second uncle, do you think it should be done?"

Liu Haizhong shook his neck unnaturally and said, "Maybe you offended someone outside... Hey, didn't you say you wanted to thank them before?"

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "Of course I want to thank him. I thank his eight generations of ancestors."

Liu Haizhong: "..."

……
