Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 150 Showdown (cold)
The spring breeze intoxicates the sunset, blowing it down to thousands of homes, gathering it into fireworks, and spreading it out into the world!
Xu De felt like a mediocre person, and he rode through the streets and alleys back to the courtyard in a good mood.

He and Xu Huizhen already had a tacit understanding. There was only a piece of paper made of time between them, and they could enter each other's bodies and minds if they were pierced.

Of course, there are other troubles, such as how to convince his grandmother Xu Nanshi.

However, everything depends on human effort, and where sincerity leads to success, gold and stone will be opened.

After working in the neighborhood committee these days, Xu Nan's ideological consciousness has improved a lot, and she takes the lead in opposing freedom of marriage?How bad isn’t it!
It shouldn't be a big problem if I give "vaccination" by making insinuations from time to time, and then "pull and pull" later... Well, it should be...

After pushing the car in and locking it, Xu Deyong entered the middle courtyard and saw three uncles standing in front of Xu Deyong's door after get off work, looking at the briquettes he had "taken off".

Hundreds of hives of bees are lined up neatly in the yard to dry themselves, which looks quite spectacular.

Of course, people with diabetes can’t see it!

When Yan Bugui saw him coming back, he immediately smiled and said, "Deyong is back. The briquettes you made look really good. There won't be any problems with burning it, right?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It shouldn't be a big problem. I did it according to the proportions they said, but I can't guarantee 100% for the first time."

Yi Zhonghai nodded slightly and said: "It will take two or three days to dry before it is almost dry."

"Yes, it's almost done. It will be completely dry when you stack them up for use." Xu Deyong said.

Yi Zhonghai said: "When you finish drying and put it away, I will also make some to try."

"Okay, this is not a simple matter for you. If you want to use the mold, just come and get it." Xu Deyong said.

Yan Bugui smiled and said, "Hey, Deyong is open and bright."

Liu Haizhong also smiled and said: "Deyong is good. Burning briquettes really saves coal and trouble. Briquettes have been around before and should have been promoted long ago!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "I went to see other people's homes burning briquettes. Although they save some money, it's not that trouble-free. Other people's stoves don't have these tiles. Only some high-end Western stoves have them. Deyong can combine them, too. Very thoughtful.”

"Master, please do me a favor." Xu Deyong smiled lightly.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, looked at a few people and said: "Although the neighborhood committee has not promoted it yet, we are all people who have used it. If it is good, it is good. We will use it in our courtyard first."

Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes and said, "Hey, maybe our hospital will be rated as advanced in the future!"

……

In the evening, during dinner, Xu Deyong told his grandma that he was going to Niulan Mountain to "drink".

Xu Nan didn't think much about it and just said: "Go early and come back early. It will be Cold Food and Qingming Festival in a few days."

Xu Deyong nodded and said: "I know, I will pay homage to grandpa's grave."

"Yes." Xu Nan nodded calmly.

……

At this time, the canteen next to the tavern was in a miserable state.

Without him, there would be no food for cooking!
Fan Jinyou came in from the outside anxiously and said with a straight face: "What's going on?"

Zhao Yali said angrily: "No more white noodles and no more stick noodles!"

Fan Jinyou frowned and said, "Didn't I ask Kong Yuqin to buy it?"

Ma Liansheng said: "I didn't buy it. Director Ma of the grain store said that grain stamps are required for the unified purchase and sale of grain."

"Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?" Fan Jinyou glared.

Ma Liansheng said innocently: "Kong Yuqin is looking for you, but he can't find you."

Fan Jinyou said: "Fart, I'm in the tavern... where are our food stamps?"

"Business is so good that our quota has been used up a long time ago. It was Xu Huizhen's fault before. It will take a few days for the new quota to come in." Ma Liansheng said.

Fan Jin Youwei said angrily: "How can Kong Yuqin do this? Accountant Zhao, Kong Yuqin's salary will be deducted in half!"

Zhao Yali rolled her eyes and said, "You just deducted all her salary, what will she sell tomorrow morning?"

Fan Jin said angrily: "Sell whatever you have. I'll go to the grain store tomorrow. Why should I only sell it to her, Xu Huizhen? Director Ma, let's see if I don't kill him!"

After speaking, he strode away.

Zhao Yali, Ma Liansheng, and He Yumei looked at each other and said, "He's the only one left to open his mouth. He even beat Director Ma to death. He's just bragging."

He Yumei opened her mouth but didn't say anything, thinking: "This is the retribution of this world, who made Sister Huizhen angry and left..."

……

The next day, Xu Deyong put a bundle of divided bamboo slices in his car and rode to Xu Huizhen's home.

Xu Huizhen had already packed the things she wanted to take into the courtyard. There were a lot of things to eat, drink, use, and play in a mess. The little rich woman spent money without blinking an eye.

Seeing Xu Deyong coming in with bamboo pieces in his arms, she opened her mouth slightly and asked, "What are you doing with it?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "You will be here for several days. What if there is a burglar in the house? I will make some simple mechanisms on the wall."

Xu Huizhen chuckled and said, "It's okay. When the tavern is open every night, it is surrounded by neighbors. There are patrols on the street every day, so there is no need to be so troublesome."

Xu Deyong said: "Be prepared, I will be quick, you can check if there is anything you forgot."

"Okay, thank you." Xu Huizhen said with soft eyes.

"I accepted it." Xu Deyong said with a smile.

"Huh, I'm sorry for you." Xu Huizhen wrinkled her nose and said playfully like a little daughter-in-law.

When Xu Deyong saw this, his hands were itchy and he wanted to squeeze them.

Xu Huizhen seemed to see his intention, pursed her lips and stepped back: "Then do it quickly, I will check again."

Xu Deyong nodded and immediately moved his hands. He moved a ladder, found hemp rope and iron nails, bent the bamboo pieces into a bow shape, fixed them on the wall, and built the small trigger mechanism of the trap on the top of the wall...

In this way, once someone climbs up the wall and touches the mechanism, the bamboo pieces will bounce away and be whipped out, which is the second most lethal thing, just scaring the person away.

His purpose is not to kill people, something as simple as this is enough.

After finishing, Xu Deyong washed his hands and took everything Xu Huizhen brought to the car. He packed the car in a mess, including the yellow paper and sacrifices he bought.

Xu Huizhen spread an old quilt in front as a place to do it.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but said: "Why don't you take the car with your child in your arms, and let Brother Hui lead you to the main road west of Niulan Mountain to pick you up, and I will take these things with me on my bike."

Xu Huizhen looked at him with almond-shaped eyes for a moment, then said softly: "It's okay, let's come together. It's spring and it's time to go on an outing. Xiao Li'er hasn't seen the outside world yet."

"Okay, let's set off then." Xu Deyong did not continue to talk. He helped Xu Huizhen and let her get into the car and sit down.

Just a reminder and hit the road.

On the way, she met the tavern waiter He Yumei. Xu Huizhen gave her a few words of advice and gave her a note.

Xu Deyong smiled and said nothing. This little woman really knows everything!

The wheel turns again, grinding up the red dust and falling again, and it starts over and over again...

……

As soon as Fan Jin got to work at the grain store, he came directly to Xingshi to question him.

As a result, he, the director, did not get any favors from the director who had straightened out his duties.

People call him "Director Fan" politely, but they don't even give him a dick if they are not polite.

This guy was so shameless that he walked away without any other moves except for saying "just wait".

This is also done according to the rules.

In the tavern, He Yumei sighed: "Oh, our tavern is just closed?"

Cashier Kong Yuqin said angrily: "I don't care, if Director Fan deducts my salary, I will go to his house to eat." At this time, Fan Jinyou opened the door and came in.

Accountant Zhao Yali's eyes lit up and she asked: "Director Fan, have you found the food?"

Fan Jinyou suddenly stopped talking.

Zhao Yali slapped the table and said, "Okay, let's close it! Also, Director Fan, let me remind you, the tavern is running out of wine."

Fan Jinyou's head was pounding, and he said helplessly: "Go buy it if it's gone."

"Where to buy?" Zhao Yali said: "Go to the wholesale department? People sell it for seven cents and one tael for ten cents, and then we bring it back and we sell it for seven cents?"

Kong Yuqin said angrily: "I think it's better to invite Xu Huizhen here quickly. Otherwise, don't forget about the northwest wind this month. Director Fan, don't forget that the neighborhood committee of the street will come to check. When the time comes...!"

"Shut up." Fan Jinyou said stubbornly.

Zhao Yali said: "If you have to admit defeat, just admit defeat. I'll go and invite you." After saying that, she turned to leave.

Fan Jin did not stop him.

He Yumei said: "Don't go. I saw him carrying the child back to his parents' home this morning."

Zhao Yali said angrily: "This capitalist is a capitalist, it's so dark!"

Fan Jinyou tilted his head and said disdainfully: "Does she deserve to be called a capitalist? At best, she is just a small business owner."

He scratched his head and said: "Master Ma, first get two jars of wine from somewhere else to help. It's better this time. I don't believe that Xu Huizhen is still at her parents' house and won't come back. If she dares to say clearly that she won't give us wine, look at me." Don’t go to Director Li to file a complaint against her!”

Ma Liansheng nodded and said: "Yes, Director Fan, please don't kill the donkey this time!"

……

At this time, Xu Deyong, Xu Huizhen and the child were driving on the road.

God is also kind to me today. There is no strong wind. It can be said that the sun is just right and the breeze is not dry!
At this time, when we left Sijiu City, there were still cultivated fields on both sides of the road. Spring had returned to the earth, and there were busy figures everywhere.

Xu Huizhen was half sitting, holding Xiao Li'er in her arms. Xiao Li'er looked around with a pair of big dark eyes. From time to time, she would open her small mouth and drool would flow out. She was full of novelty about everything.

Xu Huizhen bit her lips lightly and said, "Deyong, go to my father-in-law's grave first. You can help me burn some paper and tributes. If the Qingming woman doesn't go to the grave, I won't go there."

Xu Deyong nodded and said simply: "Sure."

When they arrived at the location, Xu Deyong took the things and followed Xu Huizhen's instructions to the grave of Mr. He. He placed the tributes bought by Xu Huizhen and burned two knives of paper.

When the burning was almost done, he bowed and said: "Rest in peace, old man. I will burn paper for you every year from now on."

After saying that, he turned back to the car and continued on the road with Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen was in a depressed mood for a while, but she soon regained her smile. After being depressed at home for so long, she just seemed to be out for a breather, looking at the blue sky and white clouds, feeling relaxed and happy.

From time to time, she wiped Xiao Li'er's saliva with a handkerchief, and chatted with Xu Deyong, ranging from brief chats about parents to ancient poems, from traffickers and lackeys to emperors and generals.

No matter what she talked about, as a person who has experienced the explosion of information in later generations, Xu Deyong couldn't handle it.

The more Xu Huizhen talked, the more cheerful she became. After all, she was only 21 years old. In the future, she would still be at school age. Who is not a baby!
At the same time, the more we chatted, the more surprised I became. From time to time, I said, "How do you know?" "Ah, where did you hear that?" "You know a lot of nonsense."

Xu Huizhen held in her hand the small wild flowers that Xu Deyong had pulled up on the roadside. While teasing Xiao Lier, she said: "The country is beautiful in Chiri, and the flowers and grass are fragrant in the spring breeze."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "The mud melts and the swallows fly, and the sand is warm and the mandarin ducks sleep."

"The grass is long and the orioles are flying in the February sky, and the willows are blowing on the embankments and are drunk with the spring smoke."

"The children came back early from school and were busy flying kites in the east wind."

……

Xiao Li'er in Xu Huizhen's arms closed her eyes and fell asleep. She looked at Xiao Li'er's white and tender little face, showing a maternal smile, pulled the little hat down, turned her head and asked softly: "You ride?" It’s been a long time, you must be tired, right? Let’s stop and rest for a while.”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "No, I have good physical strength. I can even ride to Niulan Mountain in one breath."

"Bragging." Xu Huizhen said coquettishly.

"Hey, don't believe it, why don't we give it a try." Xu Deyong said.

"Okay, okay, I still can't believe it." Xu Huizhen said with a smile.

After half an hour.

"It's almost noon, let's take a rest?" Xu Huizhen said.

Xu Deyong said: "There is Wenyu River in front of us. We will rest by the river and have something to eat."

"Ok."

Ten minutes later, Xu Deyong rode down the road and came to the path. The reeds on both sides of the Wenyu River were still turning yellow and just beginning to sprout.

However, many of them were cut up and burned as firewood.

Xu Huizhen put Xiao Li'er on the quilt in the car and jumped out of the car eagerly.

Xu Deyong quickly gave him a hand and said, "Slow down."

Xu Huizhen's face was slightly red and she whispered: "It's okay, please help me look at it and don't look around."

After that, he twisted his waist and walked towards the reed swamp.

Xu Deyong was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that this little girl was going to relieve herself...

He glanced around and saw no other people around, then turned around and thought to himself: "According to the TV series, at this time, I would have encountered a snake and bitten my butt... um..."

After a while, Xu Huizhen didn't come back relaxed because of something. Seeing that Xu Deyong's back was still turned, she couldn't help but pursed her lips and said, "Let's have something to eat. You can rest a little longer."

Xu Deyong grinned and said, "Hehe, I'm not tired."

The two looked at each other, and a breath of spring lingered around them.

Xu Huizhen lowered her eyes and said softly: "That's silly."

"As long as you are smart." Xu Deyong said.

"There are still more than ten days..."

"I know."

"By the time……."

"I want to marry you." Xu Deyong looked at him and said it bluntly, and the atmosphere was so high that he could break it now.

Xu Huizhen's delicate body trembled slightly and said: "You... are not afraid of gossip?"

"Don't be afraid. They said I climbed high because they were jealous." Xu Deyong said with a self-deprecating smile.

"That was not what I meant……."

"That's what I meant!"

Xu Huizhen's chest heaved and she let out a breath, raised her eyes and looked at him and said seriously: "In fact, you are fully capable of finding a formal job, and then find a yellow flower girl with good conditions."

Xu Deyong shrugged and said: "Well, actually, I am a bit lazy by nature. I don't want to work hard anymore. I want to find a wife who can save trouble and worry. Moreover, I am afraid that she will have a difficult childbirth!"

Xu Huizhen: "..."
