Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 96 Mo Xiao Niu Shan wax wine muddy

Xu Deyong rode into the winery.

Xu Hui led him to ride the car to the place where the wine was stored. Without Xu Deyong's actions, several workers moved the wine jars out of the car.

Xu Hui said: "Just leave the car here. You must be exhausted from riding all the way. Come home with me and rest for a while. If you are hungry, I will make up for it. I will call you when I drink in the evening."

Xu Deyong said: "I'm okay. I don't need to take a special rest. In fact, I can just find a place in the factory for one night. I don't need to bother going to your house."

Xu Huisu deliberately said with a straight face: "How can it be done? You must go to my house. The room has been tidied up. And young people, don't be brave, listen to me and come back with me to rest. That's the decision."

Xu Deyong was a little helpless, okay, you say I'm tired, I'll be tired!
The two walked outside the factory.

"Is it okay for you to leave the factory?" Xu Deyong asked.

Xu Huisui smiled and said: "It will be fine for a while at home."

Then he introduced with a smile as he walked: "We won't see much scenery here in winter. When spring comes again, ours can be regarded as an ancient town. There are still a few places you can visit, such as Bixia Palace and Jinniu Cave. ….”

“In summer, if you go to the Chaobai River to bathe and catch fish, if you can catch a big carp with golden scales, it will not only be delicious but also a rare good sign.”

"Shiliang Crab Fire in Autumn, the stone bridge on the Huaihe River in the north of Shijiakou Village. When the sorghum is about to ripen, crabs gather in large numbers. Many of them climb to the shore and climb Liangsui to eat. At that time, people hold lanterns to catch crabs. River crabs like to be bright, and in If the fence in the river is fixed and hung with lanterns and crab baskets, the crabs will fall into the trap, and the scene will be quite spectacular..."

……

Xu Deyong smiled when he heard this and said, "Brother Huisu, I can't wait to hear what you said."

Xu Huisui laughed and said: "Don't be anxious, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Xu Deyong smiled and said nothing.

Xu Huizhu's home was not far from the winery. He picked up his bicycle at the shed and took Xu Deyong there in about 10 minutes.

"Xiu Fang, Xiu Fang, have you cleaned up the house I asked you to clean up?"

After pushing open the wooden door and entering the courtyard, Xu Huizhui shouted.

"Wow woof woof..."

A big black dog on a leash smelled the stranger's scent, jumped out of the kennel in the corner, and yelled at Xu Deyong.

There were a few chickens standing in the chicken coop nearby, and they also started clucking.

The yard of Xu Hui's family is not small. The backyard should have been used as a wine-making venue in the past. Nowadays, a faint aroma of wine can be smelled in the yard.

"Heitan, don't scream." Xu Huizhu scolded.

At this time, a delicate-looking woman wearing a headscarf came out of the house, followed by a little girl about six years old.

"It's tidied up." Li Xiufang said angrily: "Why are you yelling so loudly? The naughty little tiger just fell asleep, and when he woke up, he was running around and was restless."

"Dad." The little girl called, looking at Xu Deyong with gleaming eyes.

"dad."

Before he finished speaking, a three-year-old boy wearing a tiger-head hat, a tiger-headed head, and socks ran out.

Before she even ran out the door, the woman grabbed her cotton-padded jacket and said, "Who told you to go to the ground without shoes? Your little butt wants to be spanked again, right?"

Little Huzi struggled and said: "Dad, go catch rabbits..."

"Hahaha..." Xu Hui strode over with a smile, picked up his son and said, "Dad is not free today. He will be here in two days. Little Yan'er, little Hu'er, please call me uncle."

Xiao Huzi glanced at Xu Deyong, blinked and turned his head to the side with a pout.

Xiao Yan'er was very obedient and called out: "Uncle."

Xu Deyong agreed with a smile, took out about ten candies from his "pocket" and handed them to the little girl and said, "Little Yan'er is well-behaved and sensible. Eat the candies."

His candy "inventory" is running low, with only about 20 pieces left.

"Thank you, uncle." The little girl smiled but did not reach out to take it, and glanced at her father.

Xu Huisui nodded and said, "Just take what uncle gave you."

The little girl then reached out and took it.

Little Huzi had already turned his head when he heard "eat sweets".

Although their family conditions are good, they don’t eat candies very often.

But this kid is a bit stubborn. Although he really wants to eat, he still purses his lips and doesn't call anyone.

Li Xiufang smiled and said: "Just give me one or two. Why give so many?"

Xu Huisul introduced: "This is my daughter-in-law Li Xiufang, you can call her sister-in-law. This is the Xu Deyong Huizhen said on the phone."

"Hello, sister-in-law." Xu Deyong said.

"Hey." Li Xiufang agreed and said, "Brother, please come inside to warm yourself on the kang and drink tea."

Little Huzi was carried into the house by his father, then twisted down and ran to his sister.

Humph, why don’t you ask my sister for it!

"You brat." Xu Huisui laughed and scolded him: "Brother, don't be surprised. This brat is usually very stubborn and will never speak to someone he doesn't know."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's okay, as long as I am not an exception, haha..."

The two took off their shoes and sat on the spacious Kang.

Li Xiufang diligently poured tea for the two of them and brought some melon seeds and peanuts.

On the other side, Xiao Huzi successfully got a piece of candy from his sister, ate it happily, then climbed onto the kang with great effort, and played against Xu Huisu's back.

"Brother, are you hungry? Let your sister-in-law heat up some steamed buns." Xu Huisu took a sip of tea.

"No need. I'm full at lunch. I won't be polite if I'm hungry." Xu Deyong said sincerely.

Xu Hui nodded and said: "Nacheng, you are just as welcome here as you are at home. You are welcome."

……

The two chatted for a while, and Xu Hui said: "Drink some water and rest. If you need anything, ask your sister-in-law directly. I'll go back to the factory first."

Xu Deyong stood up and said, "Then I'll trouble Brother Hui and my sister-in-law."

"You're welcome, the room in the yard has been tidied up, and the quilts and sheets have been changed and washed." Li Xiufang said, "I have burned the kang in the room. It will be hot in a while."

Xu Deyong said quickly: "Thank you, sister-in-law. If you know, I can do it myself."

After being polite, Xu Huisu rode back to the factory.

Xu Deyong entered the packed room, lay on the kang and stared at the roof in a daze.

After all, in other people's homes, only women and children are left, so you should avoid suspicion.

After a while, the pit gradually warmed up, and Xu Deyong, who was not sleepy at first, slowly closed his eyes.

Needless to say, it is still comfortable to sleep on the kang in winter, but it is inconvenient to live in a small courtyard, otherwise the kang is very good.

Xu Deyong fell asleep in a daze. At some point, he was awakened by the slight sound of the door opening.

He slowly opened his eyes and saw a small figure quietly coming in.

The little guy came in and stared at him with a small bamboo pole in his hand.

Xu Deyong deliberately raised his hands and stretched, then slowly sat up.

Little Huzi was immediately frightened. He turned around and ran away with the small bamboo pole. Then he hit the door with a bang and sat down on the ground.

Xu Deyong waited for a while.

Hey, this kid didn't even cry.

So he put on his shoes and said, "Little Huzi, why did you go into uncle's room?"

Little Huzi climbed up, cautiously held the small bamboo pole and said with a tigerish face: "Huh, it's not yours, it's my home."

Xu Deyong felt a little funny and said, "It's your home. Your parents let your uncle live there."

Seeing that 'this adult' had no intention of hitting him, Xiao Huzi relaxed his vigilance. He put his little bamboo pole on the ground and said, "What are you doing at my house?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "I'll bring you wine at your aunt's house."

"Which aunt?"

"Your Aunt Huizhen."

Xiao Huzi remembered Xu Huizhen, his eyes lit up and asked: "Have you seen my real aunt's baby?"

"I've seen it."

Xiao Huzi pouted and said, "My real aunt has a baby and doesn't like Xiao Hu. I haven't seen Xiao Hu for a long time. I want something delicious..."

Xu Deyong smiled, this guy was quite down-to-earth.

"Little Huzi, little Huzi, where have you gone?"

Li Xiufang's voice came from outside.

The little boy is just skinny. He doesn't know where to go without seeing him.

The little tiger shrank his neck, his father just pretended to hit him, but his mother really hit him!
The little guy just looked at Xu Deyong.

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "Sister-in-law, the little tiger is here with me."

He said opening the door and walking out.

The little tiger stared at him fiercely, then scurried out with a small bamboo pole.

Li Xiufang gave Xiao Huzi a "death stare" and then said to Xu Deyong: "I'm sorry, brother Deyong, this kid disturbed your rest."

Xu Deyong said: "It's okay. In fact, I've been awake for a while. Brother Huisui hasn't gotten off work yet?"

As he spoke, he raised his hand and looked at the time. It was not yet five o'clock, but he had slept for more than an hour.

When Li Xiufang saw Xu Deyong's watch, a flash of surprise flashed in her eyes, but she said nothing else and said with a smile: "Come on, go inside first, wash your face and drink some tea. He should be back soon."

Xu Deyong said: "No, I can't sit still. Is there any work at home that I can do?"

Li Xiufang said: "No, I can't keep you busy, just rest."

Xu Deyong saw half-cut wood under the shed built next to the kitchen, so he walked over and said, "Let me chop wood."

"No, no need." Li Xiufang said quickly.

But I couldn't persuade him, so I could only let it go.

"Ka, ka, ka..." Xu Deyong picked up the ax and split the wood into long strips quickly and neatly.

This thing was too easy to hack and not challenging. Xu Deyong aimed at the wooden stake with roots next to it. It took a lot of effort to dig this thing out of the ground.

Xu Deyong picked up the pickaxe on the side and worked hard. The hard old wooden pile was gradually torn into pieces by his pickaxe, leaving no intact body...

Xiao Huzi soon discovered Xu Deyong's "powerfulness" and ran over to watch him work.

And Xiao Yan'er was already helping her mother light the fire in the kitchen.

At around five o'clock, Xu Hui led his team back from get off work, accompanied by a young man of about the same age as him, holding a fat gray rabbit in his hand.

Seeing that he had already chopped a lot of wood, Xu Hui quickly went over and stopped him and said, "Who asked you to work? You've chopped so much, I'm afraid you didn't start chopping when I left!"

Little Huzi raised his little head and said as if complaining: "Dad, no, he is sleeping..."

But when he saw the rabbit in the young man's hand, his eyes immediately lit up and he ran over and said: "Uncle Lin, rabbit..."

However, he touched it and was immediately disappointed: "Rabbit is dead."

The young man touched his little head and said, "You can't keep the little rabbit alive. Didn't I catch you last time and let you die?"

"But I still want it." Xiao Huzi said with a pout.

"While the adults are talking, children, go and find your mother to see how obedient your sister is." Xu Hui drove the boy away.

Xu Deyong then answered with a smile: "I really had a good sleep, and when I woke up I wanted to find something to do. You won't blame me for chopping your firewood, haha..."

"You guy." Xu Huisu patted him on the shoulder without being pretentious.

Then he introduced the young man and said: "This is my friend Xiao Linchao, and this is Xu Deyong, who was asked by my sister to pull the wine."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Xu Deyong shook hands with Lin Chao.

Lin Chao's palms were hard and powerful, and he had a hunting knife with a leather sheath on his waist. Together with the hare he was carrying, he looked like an experienced hunter at first glance.

Lin Chao said: "Brother Huizhu, you guys talk first, I'll take care of the rabbit."

"Okay, go ahead and do it. You are familiar with this anyway." Xu Huisui said with a smile.

Then he pulled Xu Deyong into the house and said: "Lin Chao is a good hunter and his marksmanship is accurate. I specially asked him to hunt game for food and wine, so he never missed. I am good at making wine, but not so good at hunting."

Xu Deyong said: "I have to give Brother Jing Linchao a drink that night."

Xu Huisui smiled and said: "One cup? We all talk about bowls here."

Xu Deyong grinned and said: "I can only drink half a catty, please don't let me make a fool of myself."

"It's okay, there are no outsiders..."

……

After dark, a large jar of wine has already been placed on the kang, and the bottom of the jar is a little warm.

On the small table, several side dishes to go with wine were already placed. When a large plate of braised rabbit was served, the dishes were all ready.

The three of them sat cross-legged on the kang. Xu Deyong looked at the big black bowl with black porcelain and white background in front of him, with a wry smile on his lips.

"Wow..."

Lin Chao picked up the wine jar and poured the wine skillfully, causing the hops to bubble.

Xu Deyong quickly helped him to express his gratitude.

Xu Huisul smiled and joked: "I won't talk to you the first time I come here. If you are so polite next time I come, I won't let you in."

"This jar of wine is five jins. If you are young and take care of you, you will drink one jin. Each of us brothers will have two jins. I won't bully you."

Xu Deyong could only grin and say: "I won't bully, but I will let my sister-in-law and the child come over to eat together."

Xu Huisui waved his hand and said: "We men are drinking, so don't worry about them. Leave all the food aside for them to eat outside."

He picked up the bowl and said, "Come on, let's try the soju I brewed before."

Xu Deyong picked up the wine bowl and said, "Thank you to Brother Hui and Brother Lin Chao for hosting us."

Lin Chao smiled and said, "Look, we've seen each other again."

"Don't say any polite words, it's all in the wine."

The three of them touched each other lightly and each took a sip.

Xu Deyong only felt a warm current from his throat to his belly, and then a "scorching heat" broke out, as if there was a little sun in his belly.

Xu Deyong shut his mouth and simmered for a moment, then opened his mouth and a smell of alcohol came out, saying: "It's great!"

"Hahaha……."

Xu Huisu and Lin Chao laughed.

Xu Huisul smiled and said: "We are the drinkers, come to eat vegetables and try your sister-in-law's cooking."

……

After three rounds of wine and five tastes of food, Xu Huisu and Lin Chao had already downed a pound of wine, and Xu Deyong drank half a pound in cooperation to get tipsy.

Xu Hui started talking more, and when he talked about his sister, he became angry. He drank and cursed: "Deyong, you should know something about my sister."

Without waiting for Xu Deyong's reply, he continued to ramble: "That bitch He Yongqiang actually hooked up with my cousin Xu Huizhi. My cousin is not a good girl either. She looks pitiful every day. If she hadn't meant it How could something like this happen if I had no intention of wandering in front of He Yongqiang? What the hell, it's like she was wronged..."

"If Xiaozhen hadn't refused to let me go, I would have gone to Lijiacun and broken the legs of those bastards..."

"Xiao Zhen has been independent since he was a child. If I hadn't been a girl, I wouldn't have inherited this wine cellar. Who is He Yongqiang? Adou, who can't help him, has no ability. Xiao Zhen teaches him how to do it and gives him a few words. He was not happy and said that Xiaozhen is so strong, but he can stand up on his own, and besides being stubborn, he is just a loser..."

……

After two kilograms of wine, Xu Huisu was already a little drunk and wanted to drink more.

Li Xiufang came in and said, "Brother Deyong, I'm sorry to make you laugh. He likes to lie after drinking too much. Don't worry about it."

Xu Deyong said: "Absolutely not. Brother Huisu is a temperamental person, otherwise he might not be able to brew such good wine."

"Hahaha, good wine." Xu Huisu smiled drunkenly while leaning against the wall.

Lin Chao was not surprised by this and said: "Sister-in-law, brother Deyong, I will go back first."

Li Xiufang said: "I won't be polite to you anymore, please go slower on the road."

Then she said to Xu Deyong: "You should go back and have a rest. I'm used to it. It's fine if you don't drink. But if you drink a little, you'll become a talkative. I usually control his drinking, but I won't care about him now." he."

Little Huzi was lying on the edge of the kang and said with a smile: "Hehe, dad is drunk again."

Xiao Yan'er was already skilled in bringing the steaming towel, and Li Xiufang wiped Xu Huisu's face.

Xu Deyong's face turned red after drinking, and he said a little embarrassedly: "That will cause trouble for my sister-in-law."

"It's okay. It happened all the time in the past. Isn't it surprising that you didn't look at Lin Chao?" Li Xiufang said.

Xu Deyong nodded and said, "Then I'll go back to the house."

After saying goodbye, he returned to the outside room.

He was already swaying a little as he walked. The wine was really good, but the alcohol content was a bit high.

When he returned to the house, he only took off his coat, fell on the bed, and fell asleep in a daze.

……

“呴呴崴…….”

The morning rooster crowed several times. Xu Deyong opened his eyes, and there was already a faint light outside.

He looked at the time, it was already past six twenty.

When he got up and came to the yard, the big black dog stared at him warily without barking.

A biting dog doesn't bark, but it will get into trouble!

Xu Deyong performed a set of punches and kicks in the spacious yard, watching the black dog bend down and grinning.

Soon, Li Xiufang got up and came out.

Xu Deyong stopped and said, "Sister-in-law, did I wake you up?"

Li Xiufang smiled and said: "No, I usually get up at this time. Have you ever practiced boxing?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "I practiced some fake moves, but they are not worth mentioning."

Li Xiufang nodded and said, "Then you can continue practicing and don't worry about me."

……

At seven o'clock, Xu Huisu and his two children got up one after another.

Xu Deyong also finished his exercise and chopped up the remaining wooden stakes to build up his strength.

After breakfast, Li Xiufang packed a piece of food for Xu Deyong.

Xu Huisui took Xu Deyong to the winery.

After completing the formalities, Xu Hui led him to the door and said: "Deyong, I thought you were a reliable person at the first sight. Xiao Zhen, you usually have time to help your brother look after him. I don't have anything else to do here. It's easy to say. If you have enough wine, come a day or two early next time and I'll let Lin Chao take you to go hunting with a gun."

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "Sure, don't worry, brother Huizhui, I'm leaving."

"Slow down the road."

The altar is empty when you come, and it is full when you return.

Departing at 08:30 in the morning, I had a quick lunch at noon without wasting time like when I arrived, and it still took more than six hours.

We returned to the tavern at around three o'clock in the afternoon, and it only took more than half an hour longer than when we went there.

Xu Huizhen received a call from her elder brother in the morning and has been waiting for a long time...
