Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 200 May

Xu Deyong ignored her.

This bitch no longer had any worries and started to "squeeze" again. She still had to deal with that little thorn.

Seeing that Xu Deyong didn't speak, Cai Quanwu said, "Manager Chen, you are so polite. It doesn't matter where we sit."

Chen Xueru smiled and said: "Cai Quanwu, you are very good at practicing your words now. In the past, you had to keep your head down and say nothing."

Cai Quanwu opened his fish eyes, blinked and said nothing.

At this time, Xu Deyong picked up the wine glass and signaled to Cai Quanwu: "Have a drink."

Cai Quanwu picked up the wine glass and the two of them touched it lightly.

"Hey, I came here specifically to thank you, so why don't you have a drink with me." Chen Xueru rolled her eyes at him.

Xu Deyong picked up the wine glass, touched it with her perfunctorily and said, "Okay, thank you for receiving it. You should go back wherever you are. My friend is here."

It turned out that Liu Dezhu was here. Seeing Chen Xueru there, he was a little embarrassed to sit down.

Chen Xueru pursed her lips slightly and glared at Xu Deyong. There were some things that were difficult to say to people around her, but it was not that easy to slap her butt and leave.

One code leads to another, let's ride on the donkey and read the songbook and see!

Then he stood up and left to chat with Elena and others.

Cai Quanwu was a man of many words. Although he was a little curious about what Chen Xueru wanted to thank him for, he would not ask.

If he was a guy like Qiangzi, he would definitely ask questions.

Qiangzi was "heartbroken" by Cai Quanwu asking for money, and after paying back the money, he intentionally distanced himself from several people.

Well, keep it up!

Liu Dezhu smiled and sat down and said, "Hey, you didn't disturb you guys, did you?"

"No." Xu Deyong looked at him and asked casually, "Why, you didn't work today?"

Liu Dezhu said: "It's time to do the work, otherwise I will definitely go to Quanwu Na to help, and learn both skills by the way."

Xu Deyong smiled and nodded: "Well, you cleaned up very neatly after finishing the work."

Liu Dezhu chuckled and said: "Isn't this all due to your guidance? Don't tell me, Director Ma's attitude towards me has been much better during this period, he talks more, and occasionally asks me about my study status."

Xu Deyong frowned slightly and said, "Is there anything else?"

"No more." Liu Dezhu said.

Xu Deyong nodded slightly. Most likely, Director Ma's wife was still making arrangements for her sister. Whether Liu Dezhu could bring the fat beauty home depends on his luck.

Liu Dezhu also thought openly and said: "It's okay. This is a ridiculous thing to begin with, but I clean up so efficiently every day that girls on the street take a second look."

Xu Deyong smiled narcissistically and said: "Well, although you are not as handsome as me, you are no worse than anyone with thick eyebrows and big eyes when it comes to grooming."

Cai Quanwu suddenly said: "You are handsomer than me."

"Haha..." Liu Dezhu said with a smile: "You have ink in your belly and strength in your body. It doesn't matter if you are ugly. I have nothing. If I look like you again, I will definitely look for you at the age of thirty." Not looking for a wife."

"Hey!" Liu Dezhu then said: "I should be fine tomorrow morning, haven't you finished your work yet? I'll also go and help you learn. If I can save some money at the end of the year, I can also pick things up at home."

Cai Quanwu grinned and said, "Sure, say something when the time comes and I'll go help."

Xu Deyong didn't drink much. He only drank two taels and then went home to see his baby.

Xiaoli'er can roll over and say a few words, but she can't crawl yet. If she waits until she can crawl, it will be difficult for her to leave.

The moon was shining brightly, and Xu Deyong was lying in the courtyard holding Xiao Li'er, pointing out the stars in the sky for her.

"Ahhhh..."

Xiao Li'er lay half on Xu Deyong's belly and responded as if he could understand.

At this moment, the small courtyard is quiet, it can be considered a quiet time!

……

In the evening, the tavern was closed, and Xu Huizhen came back wearing small leather shoes, white socks, a lightly swaying dress, and her short hair swaying slightly.

"Crack!"

She locked the door and entered the room to see father and daughter reading a little book together. Xiao Li'er was already dozing off slightly.

Seeing this, Xu Huizhen smiled and said, "You don't have to hold her all the time. Holding her for a long time will be tiring."

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "It's okay, just wash up and rest."

"Yeah." Xu Huizhen's eyes moved, she put on her slippers and went out to brush her teeth and wash her feet.

After tidying up, he came in wiping his face and neck, hung up the towel and said, "Is Li'er asleep?"

"Yes." Xu Deyong smiled and patted the bed and said, "I'm asleep. I've already put it on the small bed outside."

Xu Huizhen rolled her eyes at him, walked to the bed and sat down, taking off her dress and shirt, still wearing white knee-length underpants and sleeveless top.

Xu Deyong put his hands behind his head and looked at it with a smile.

Xu Huizhen sat on the edge of the bed with her legs sideways, her plump and slightly curved buttocks were round, revealing two calves that were a clever blend of strength and beauty. She could see her fair and round ankles and ten cutely shaped pale pink toes.

She has two round arms, a tall chest, a light and graceful waist, and a graceful figure. Although her skin is not too delicate, it is whiter than most people's.

Tsk tsk, if you wear white silk stockings, you will look a little pure, if you wear black stockings, you will look charming.

Xu Deyong couldn't help but reach out and touch her delicate and cool feet.

Xu Huizhen shrank immediately and said angrily: "What are you doing? Why are you touching my feet? Leather shoes smell bad."

Xu Deyong chuckled and said, "So I'll check it. If it smells bad, go back and wash it again."

Xu Huizhen pouted slightly and said: "Screw you, I washed it twice with soap, it should be tasteless."

As he spoke, he picked up one of his feet and smelled it.

Seeing her girlish appearance, Xu Deyong reached out and hugged her over and said, "Here, let me check if the other areas are clean for you. There is water but it won't work..."

"Ah, annoying, um..."

The big white rabbit is white and white, with two feet standing up.

I love eating radishes and vegetables, and my stupid jump is so cute!

……

The morning sun shines on the beautiful window, and the light and wind move the palace.

When Xu Huizhen opened her eyes in the morning, it was already bright outside.

She just felt that her body and mind were clear, and her whole body was so lazy that she didn't want to get up. She finally knew what it meant to be "feeling weak when the servant lifts you up"!

She couldn't help but lower her head and touch her belly. If she was pregnant with a child...hey, suffocate that bad guy to death!

Xu Deyong held Xiao Li'er in his arms, and the father and daughter came back from the outside unsteadily, holding the beaten soy milk and jiao rings. Xiao Li'er was holding one in his hand and putting it in his mouth to chew on.

The two of them entered the house. Xu Deyong held Xiao Li'er and stretched out his head from the room with a smile: "Dang Dang Dang Dang, see if mom is up. The sun is shining on your buttocks."

Xiao Li'er also giggled when she saw Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen put on her clothes with a smile and simply combed her hair. Short hair is easy to take care of.

She felt very satisfied on days like this.

After eating, Xu Deyong continued to go to his place with Cai Quanwu to clean up, and Liu Dezhu also came over.

There is strength in numbers. Under the command of Xu Deyong, the three of them quickly cleaned up and painted the house to give it a new look. There were three small rooms in total. Although they were not big, they were completely enough for a new house for a young couple to live in.

If the population really increases in the future, one room can be built in this small courtyard, but the whole thing will look quite crowded by then.

But then again, most people in the entire Forty-Nine City came here like this at this time.

Cai Quanwu looked at the room, his ugly face shining with a smile, as if he saw the future of his beautiful life. Liu Dezhu was also a little envious and said: "Hey, Quan Wu, your private courtyard is much better than the large courtyard we live in. You can do whatever you want with it."

Cai Quanwu withdrew his gaze and said, "Okay, let's not talk about this. Wash your hands quickly. I have cooked the bones and some offal in the pot for noon. Eat as much as you can at noon."

Xu Deyong said with a smile: "No wonder it smells so good, then we're not welcome."

After eating and drinking, Xu Deyong looked at the big stick lying aside and said, "There are good things in here. If you are short of oil and water, you can rely on it."

Liu Dezhu asked: "How do you do this?"

Xu Deyong took the saw, cleaned the saw body, and then sawed the big stick bone from the middle with a "hum! hum", handed half of it to him and said: "Mum, the bone marrow inside is rich in nutrients and oil. It's great for stews and stir-fries." Everything smells delicious."

Liu Dezhu directly dug out a piece with his hands and tasted it. His eyes lit up and he said: "Well, this is good. If you dig out a can and boil it, you can use it as meat oil. These big bones are much cheaper."

Cai Quanwu also said: "It's just troublesome and requires a lot of fire to cook."

Liu Dezhu said with a smile: "If you have money and water, why bother?"

After painting the walls and furniture, they still need to be polished before repainting.

Of course, the beds in Cai Quanwu's home were not painted, and the old paint on the tables and cabinets had almost faded, so it would undoubtedly save a lot of effort.

Liu Dezhu is going to work in the grain store in the afternoon, and Xu Deyong is also going to the maintenance yard to take another look and clean up Ma Fei's thorny head, but he can't break his promise.

Xu Deyong took Liu Dezhu with him on the way, placed him at the entrance of the grain store, and then rode a bicycle to the maintenance yard.

"Boom bang bang."

Xu Deyong knocked on the door.

Soon Hou Si opened the door, blinked and said, "Master Yong, you are here."

Seeing this guy's expression, that kid Ma Fei must be here again.

When I went in and took a look, sure enough, not only Ma Fei was there, but also the little girl Ma Ying.

Ma Fei was lying on the recliner. When he saw him coming in, he jumped up, looking like he was facing a formidable enemy.

Xu Deyong did not sarcastically say, "Here he comes."

Ma Fei's mouth twitched, he glanced at his sister Ma Ying next to him, then shook his shoulders and said, "Ah, here we come, but I'm not convinced. You totally took advantage of my unpreparedness to attack me yesterday."

Xu Deyong didn't talk nonsense to him. He stretched out two fingers and said: "Come on, I will give you an honest chance. If you lose this time, you can learn some skills from me honestly. I am not your master, just But it’s just to fulfill Uncle Tai’s instructions, I won’t spoil you.”

The little girl Ma Ying stood aside and watched without saying a word.

Ma Fei gritted his teeth and said, "Why are you so arrogant? I'm not afraid of you, young master..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly rushed out, took three steps and two steps at a time, and punched Xu Deyong on the chin.

"call……."

The punch was fast and hard, and it came out suddenly, so most people would probably be caught off guard.

I can also do sneak attacks!

Xu Deyong did not hide, but when the fist approached, he suddenly raised his palm and pressed down.

"puff."

Ma Fei's punch hit Xu Deyong firmly on the chest.

Xu Deyong was naturally fine and motionless, but Ma Fei felt as if he had been punched on a rock, causing his fist to hurt.

But before he could continue changing his moves, almost the same scene appeared again.

After Xu Deyong pressed down his palm, he barely stopped, stretched his palm forward very quickly, and grasped Ma Fei's neck.

A complete crushing!

"Uh!"

Ma Fei was stunned. He didn't expect that his sneak attack would produce the same result as yesterday.

My whole person suddenly felt bad.

Xu Deyong chuckled and said, "How about this time?"

Ma Fei looked defeated and said nothing.

Ma Ying said at this time: "Brother, you lose, then you can stay here and learn your craft."

"I don't want it." Ma Fei blurted out after hearing this.

Then he felt a slight tightening on his neck. It is said that those who know the current affairs are heroes, and people have to bow their heads under the eaves. He quickly changed his words: "Ahem, it's not impossible, but... uh!"

Xu Deyong tightened his palms again and said: "Don't negotiate terms with me. Uncle Tai will leave you to me. I will be responsible for teaching and you will be responsible for learning. If you can't learn, I will deal with you. You only have one year at most."

Ma Ying took one look at her brother's miserable state, hesitated to speak, then lowered her head and said, "Then I will leave my brother to you."

She hesitated and said, "Please be gentler."

After that, he turned around and left.

Ma Fei stretched out his arms with a sad expression on his face, wanting to retain her, like an abandoned lamb.

Xu Deyong let go of his hand and said: "Come on, let's start learning from now on. Let's start by getting to know the tools first..."

An hour later, Xu Deyong said: "I'll give you two days to learn these basic knowledge from Hou Si first. I'll check it. You know the consequences if you don't learn it."

"Oh!" Ma Fei said weakly, his whole body was weak.

Seeing Xu Deyong was about to leave, he rolled his eyes and said, "Hey, how did you practice your skills? Can you teach me too?"

"No."

After leaving two words behind, Xu Deyong left without looking back.

"Ah ah ah, I'm so annoyed." Ma Fei said a little crazy: "How can there be such a person."

Hou Si also looked helpless. He had provoked someone. He was fine by himself, but now he had to serve this young master.

……

Two days passed in the blink of an eye.

The lunar calendar has entered the fifth month, and the Dragon Boat Festival is approaching.

From the first to the fifth day of May, it used to be the Women's Day in old Beijing.

On this day, every household dresses up their girls beautifully and wears pomegranate flowers on their hair, and the married girls also go back to their parents' homes.

In families with good conditions, children hang "long-life strings" on their shoulders and backs, such as tiger cubs, cherries, mulberries, gourds, cucumbers, eggplants, melon beans, small peppers, etc. sewn from silk ribbons, and women wear red velvet threads on their heads. "福儿" in the shape of bat and 10,000 characters.

At noon on the fifth day of May, all of them are picked and thrown on the street, which is commonly known as "throwing disaster".

According to the "Manuscript of Wanping Years' Chronicles": "On May 5th, five thunder talismans are hung at home, moxa is inserted into the door, and the youngest and eldest daughter are decorated with paper talismans and hairpins with pomegranate flowers, which is called Women's Day."

Some people also pay attention to drinking realgar wine and sprinkling realgar powder, writing the word "王" on the boy's forehead, and rubbing realgar powder on his ears, eyes, and armpits, so that he can be protected from all poisons.

During this period, people go to rivers and ponds to catch toads, then put a stick of ink into their mouths, take the toad home, hang it on a roof beam or other shady place, and slowly dry it to make a "toad stick" ”, which has the effects of reducing swelling, clearing away heat and detoxifying.

When mumps occurs, you can apply toad skin to the affected area. If you have swollen carbuncles on your body, apply some powdered toad tablets, and the swelling and inflammation will gradually subside.

Therefore, there is a saying that "a toad cannot hide from May 5th".
