Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 141
"Snapped."

Xu Deyong opened the door of the tavern and began to clear the tables skillfully. This "part-time job" was almost over.

If Xu Huizhen supports the public-private partnership at the mobilization meeting today, the street will soon send people to calculate the partnership.

After all, a typical pilot project must be established on the street as soon as possible to dispel the concerns of other merchants.

After clearing the table, I carried the porcelain basin with plates and wine glasses to the courtyard and started washing.

When Xu Huizhen heard the noise, she got up and put on her coat and came out: "I have to go to the neighborhood committee for a meeting in the afternoon. You can come over at noon and help me look after the bistro."

"No problem, just leave it to me." Xu Deyong turned to look at her and nodded.

This little girl is wearing a plain white silk dress. Her tall figure is slightly plump after giving birth, making people want to resist her.

Alas, people are inherently good-natured in the beginning, and fat women are the prettiest.

Xu Deyong wiped his hands on his body, took out a bucket of milk powder from the bag next to him and handed it to her: "Let the baby drink it first. If it's not enough, I'll think of a solution later."

Xu Huizhen took a look and said, "Then I won't be polite to you. I'm trying to find a way to apply for a milk certificate. These should be enough with the milk replacer powder I bought. Don't refuse the money."

Then he took out two five-yuan bills and handed them to him.

Xu Deyong didn't have any ink, so he simply accepted it and said: "Sure, then don't forget about the work for the past few days with me."

After that, he went back to wash the dishes.

Xu Huizhen looked at Xu Deyong's back and bit her lip gently. There were some things she couldn't say yet.

She entered the room with milk powder. Xiao Li'er had also woken up and was stretching out her little hands to grab the quilt.

She waved the milk powder in front of her child's eyes and said playfully: "Li'er, we have milk powder to drink. Mom will make some for you."

"Ah, ah, ah..." Xiao Li'er suddenly became happy when she saw her mother.

With a smile on her face, Xu Huizhen took out the glass bottle, added a little milk powder and milk replacer with a spoon, and poured about [-] ml of water. When she felt that the temperature was about the same, she picked her up and fed her.

Xiao Li'er took a few sips, her expression a little dazed, as if she was saying, "Why does it taste different from before?"

……

On the other hand, Chen Xueru's trip to Suzhou was naturally not able to go because she had to hold a public-private partnership mobilization meeting.

Thinking of Xu Deyong's rejection of her yesterday, she felt angry.

Then he thought of Fan Jinyou. Although this guy looked worse than Xu Deyong, he was a street reserve cadre and his identity was hard to tell. The key was that he was diligent and obedient to her.

Just wait and see, if this guy can prove that he can become a real street cadre, just give him a chance.

Anyway, she just got divorced and is not in a hurry. Finding a man on her terms is not easy. Besides, there is nothing wrong with being single. She doesn't expect a man to make a living. At most, she can be a bird...

In the afternoon, Chen Xueru dressed up and walked to the neighborhood committee. On the way, she met some merchants walking together to exchange their ideas.

……

In the tavern, Xu Huizhen also dressed appropriately and went out.

Xu Deyong was sitting at the counter of the tavern, next to Xiao Li'er who was in high spirits after just drinking milk.

"Dong dong dong..."

Xu Deyong held a rattle and shook it to tease her and said, "Xiao Li'er, don't poop, wait until your mother comes back."

It's okay to let him watch and play with the children, but if he pees, he will feel a little dizzy.

"Giggle..."

Xiao Li'er naturally didn't care what he thought, and would kick her legs up to watch happily from time to time.

A child's smile is so contagious that the corners of your mouth will turn up when you look at it.

At this time, there was movement at the door, and Qiangzi also came in wearing a black tunic suit, looking like a human.

People rely on clothes, horses rely on saddles, and dogs run happily with bells on them.

This guy came in with a showy smile on his face. Before he could say anything, he saw Xu Deyong sitting in the tavern and immediately turned around and wanted to leave.

Xu Deyong sat still and said with a faint smile: "Qiangzi, you are already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Are you avoiding me on purpose?"

Qiangzi had to stop when he heard the sound, turned around and said with a smile: "Hey, it's Deyong. I really didn't notice it was you. Just now I suddenly remembered an urgent matter..."

Xu Deyong said: "Don't be rude to me here. I won't care about what happened that day even if you were drunk and talking nonsense..." Qiangzi quickly smiled and said: "I still have to be generous to you. I drank too much that day." point."

Xu Deyong continued: "If you don't care, you don't care. You have to express your feelings no matter what. Let's do this. In the evening, you invite Quan Wu and Dezhu to have a drink. By the way, you can celebrate the establishment of your transportation team and become the boss."

Qiangzi blinked and hesitated.

Xu Deyong looked at him and narrowed his eyes: "Well, why aren't you happy?"

The corner of Qiangzi's mouth twitched, and he kept cheering himself up: He is the boss now, he is just a three-wheeler...

But when he thought about what Cheng Er said that day, even the moles were too tiring to provoke him, Qiangzi couldn't help but feel a little unsure. This was the reason why he had deliberately avoided Xu Deyong these days.

People like him who often hang out on the street are afraid of people like Xu Deyong, who has both inside and outside and is able to fight.

Seeing Xu Deyong's half-smiling expression, Qiangzi opened his mouth and said, "Well... OK, I'll go talk to Quan Wu and the others. You're busy, you're busy..."

After saying that, he took two steps back and slipped away.

After leaving the tavern, Qiangzi couldn't help but give himself a slap in the face, and muttered: "I'm so cowardly, I asked you to talk too much, so let's just treat it as a waste of money to eliminate misfortune!"

……

The neighborhood committee courtyard is crowded with people. A big red blessing promoting public-private partnership is hung above. Director Li from the street below is sitting upright wearing glasses.

Fan Jin sat on the side looking like a human like a dog, looking at everyone, as if he were looking at a group of leeks...

The director of the neighborhood committee is passionately promoting: "Comrades, friends from the industrial and commercial circles, I can tell you clearly and clearly that the climax of socialist transformation is coming..."

The people below had different expressions, some were indifferent, some were disdainful, or some were discussing in whispers.

Li Yikuan, the candy seller, asked Chen Xueru in a low voice: "What do you think?"

Chen Xueru raised her eyelids and said with a slight smile: "Reading the songbook while riding a donkey, I won't be active anyway!"

Li Yikuan also said: "If we want to cooperate, I don't want to do it unless they force me."

……

Everyone has similar ideas. Take one step at a time and see what others do. At worst, you will just follow the crowd.

After the director finished speaking, she smiled and said, "If you have any ideas or questions, you can raise them now and Director Li and I will answer them."

Everyone was buzzing with discussion for a while, and no one asked any questions.

The director's wife couldn't help but feel helpless.

At this time, Director Li of the street said categorically: "Public-private partnership is only a matter of sooner or later. I understand that everyone has concerns. I can tell you clearly on behalf of the street that everyone's private interests and property will be protected as they should be, and their identities will be transformed into Workers, if you have any questions in the future, you can come to me directly.”

Everyone was silent for a while, looking at each other and no one said anything.

Seeing that it was about to end, Xu Huizhen's almond-shaped eyes flashed with determination, and she stood up and said: "If it is as Director Li said, then my tavern is willing to participate in the joint venture."

As soon as this statement came out, there was an uproar in the venue, and the "buzzing" sound started again.

Chen Xueru also looked at Xu Huizhen in disbelief, wondering if this little girl had lost her mind?

Fan Jinyou had the same surprised look on his face. He had asked before, and Xu Huizhen said she had no idea. He didn't expect such a big change now.

Surprised, his eyes couldn't help but roll, and he had an idea!
Even Director Li couldn't help but be stunned for a moment. He didn't expect that the first person to stand up was a little woman.

The director's wife clapped happily and said, "Great, Comrade Huizhen has ideas and courage, and she deserves to be a woman of the new era."

Director Li also stood up with a smile, came to Xu Huizhen, shook hands with him and said, "Comrade Huizhen, your response was very timely. Since your bistro is the first joint venture in the street, our street will not let you down."

Xu Huizhen smiled and said modestly: "I'm just a little woman. I don't understand the truth. I only know that following the Party is not wrong."

Director Li nodded and said: "It's a matter of luck but not work. This is the biggest truth. Then when do you think we will do the accounting?"

The red-headed document has been issued, and he is eager to make some achievements and make progress!
Xu Huizhen said: "You can do it at any time."

Director Li was even more happy when he heard this and said: "Then it's better to do it sooner rather than later. Tomorrow, I will send an advance team to the tavern early tomorrow morning."
