Era: Craftsmen in the Siheyuan

Chapter 270 Strange

The Soviet Union established a long-wave radio station at this time to solve the communication and contact problems between outbound submarines and the mainland. At that time, there were no satellites, so they could only rely on radio stations.

However, building a long-wave transmitting station locally is not only extremely expensive, but the quality of communication is not guaranteed to be reliable and stable.

The ideal solution is to build a long-wave transmitting station in my country and India respectively to take on the task of communicating with the submarine fleets sailing in the two oceans.

However, the Soviet Union and India had just established a "friendly" relationship, so Comrade Xiaofu did not want to destroy it, so he came to us.

We certainly won't accept it.

Construction is also possible, but all costs will be borne by us and the ownership must be ours.

Big Brother certainly did not agree, and the two sides held many negotiations over the past few months but failed to reach an agreement.

……

Xu Deyong came to the silk shop, took the slip from Lao Zhangkai, and went to the freight station to pull back the cloth.

Chen Xueru wore a floral blouse and small leather shoes, and her makeup was still delicate. She unexpectedly had a beauty that was a mixture of freshness and charm, which made people feel itchy... Phew, it was pleasing to the eye.

Xu Deyong glanced at him twice and then stopped looking. Staring at people is not only impolite, but it can also easily be misunderstood as a hooligan.

After Chen Xueru checked it, she turned her head and said to the smiling Pian Ye beside her: "Manager Qiu, this batch of cloth is okay, but the business is not as good as before. We should buy more ordinary cloth in the future. What do you think?"

Pian Ye nodded in agreement and said, "You are right, I think so too."

Pian Ye, the public manager, was completely controlled by Chen Xueru and could only agree with her.

Chen Xueru asked Pian Ye to arrange for someone to put the cloth away, and asked Lao Zhang to pay Xu Deyong. She glanced at him and said, "Would you like to go to my office for a cup of tea before leaving?"

Xu Deyong smiled and said, "No, I'll go back right away. Huizhen is pregnant, and the two kids are too naughty. I'm afraid she can't take care of them alone at home."

Chen Xueru rolled her eyes secretly, waved her slender hand and said, "Okay, let's go, let's go."

Sitting back in the office, the more she thought about it, the more unhappy she felt.

With her conditions, there were many people who introduced men to her this year. Of course, most of them were widows, and some were like Liao Yucheng who had ulterior motives. She didn't like those who were too ordinary.

Ordinarily, given her circumstances, this would not have happened, but after the disturbance caused by Liao Yucheng's wife, and the subsequent death of Liao Yucheng's brother-in-law, various romantic rumors spread, which had a significant impact on her.

After much thought, Chen Xueru discovered that Fan Jinyou was actually her best choice at the moment.

Now the key point is not whether she likes Fan Jinyou or not. I heard that Fan Jinyou has already gone on a blind date arranged by her mother.

The “spare tire” also ran away!

Chen Xueru felt inexplicably angry. She slapped the abacus on the table and whispered to herself, "It's all because of that little bastard Xu Deyong...!"

……

Xu Deyong, who was riding a scooter on his way home, sneezed for no apparent reason and muttered to himself, "Is there someone talking behind my back? I am a person who is loyal to the sun and very low-key. Don't mess with me!"

Xu Deyong leisurely returned to the alley behind the tavern, parked his car, opened the door and went in. He listened and heard Xu Huizhen teaching Xiao Lier to recite ancient poems.

Ping'er also sat on the small stool that Xu Deyong had made for her, with her little hands on her legs. She looked cute and serious, and seemed to be listening very attentively.

Xiao Li, who was standing by, was reciting along haltingly. When she saw Xu Deyong coming back, her little face suddenly lit up with joy, and then she looked at him eagerly a few times.

Xu Deyong was still very convinced about his daughter-in-law's way of educating children, so he pretended not to see it.

"Baba."

Ping'er was slow to react. When she heard the noise and saw him coming back, she immediately sat up from the small stool and walked towards Xu Deyong with a shaky gait.

"Hey."

Xu Deyong agreed with a smile and picked up her small body. The little girl immediately hugged his neck affectionately and laughed.

Little Li was envious, she also wanted to do it, but her mother was watching her closely, and she didn't read well either, so she could only move her little butt and continue reading.

When Xu Huizhen saw Xu Deyong coming over, she frowned slightly and said, "Deyong, we can't delay any longer. Li'er must be sent to kindergarten, and it's time for him to learn something."

Xu Deyong hugged Ping'er and shrugged, "Well, didn't we agree to send her to kindergarten in the second half of the year?"

Xu Huizhen said, "I want to send her to the garden now, so that we can relax a little bit more during the day by just watching Ping'er."

Xu Deyong said, "It's getting very hot soon. How about waiting until the summer is over?"

Xu Huizhen yawned, thought for a moment and said, "Okay then, you watch them while I go cook."

After Xu Huizhen left, Xiao Lier immediately came up to him eagerly and pouted, "Dad, I don't want to go to kindergarten anymore."

Xu Deyong held Ping'er and sat on a bench nearby. He smiled and said, "Didn't you want to go play with the other kids before? Why do you suddenly not want to go?"

Xiao Lier leaned on his legs, tilted her head and thought for a while, "I don't know either."

“I don’t know…” Ping’er sat on Xu Deyong’s lap and learned to talk with a carefree look on her face. She looked so adorable as she shook her head.

Xiao Lier rolled his eyes at his sister.

Xu Deyong smiled and patted their heads, then said to Xiao Lier, "It's okay. I'll take you there too. The kindergarten is not far from our home. I'll bring my sister there to see you often. I'm just afraid that you won't want to go home after meeting some friends."

The father, his two daughters, laughed for a while. Children's emotions come and go quickly, and Xiao Li'er soon put the problem behind her for the time being.

"Let's go see what delicious food mom has made..."

……

June passed with the weather gradually getting hotter, and in the blink of an eye it was July, when the summer heat was dissipating.

During this period, when Beijing Television Station was experimenting with broadcasting, it aired my country's first TV series "A Bite of Vegetable Pancake".

Xu Deyong also went to Niulanshan to get some wine and had a chat with his brother-in-law.

Nowadays, large communes have been formed in most places, and there are calls for "people's communes".

Local governments are all thinking about high production and making false claims.

My eldest brother-in-law Xu Huilu has a lot to say about this. His family is a wine-making family, so everyone knows how much grain they can produce.

If Li Xiufang hadn't pulled him aside, he would have gone to the community to talk a lot.

Fortunately, the winery was relatively normal under the leadership of the factory director, otherwise Xu Hui would have been unable to control himself.

Xu Deyong naturally would not watch his brother-in-law jump into the pit. Regardless of whether he had jumped into the pit before or not, he should work honestly and say less instead of being the first to take action.

Xu Deyong gave him a subtle analysis, seemingly telling him to consider not only himself but also the children, and to wait and see what the situation was.

Seeing that Xu Deyong was "serious" in what he said, Xu Hui took it to heart. After all, the news in Sijiu City was more well-informed, so he planned to wait and see the situation before making any decision.

After calming down his somewhat agitated brother-in-law, Xu Deyong took the wine and returned to the tavern.

During the busiest times before, even two trips of wine a month were not enough. Now, on average, we only transport one trip.

On the one hand, supplies were relatively scarce, and on the other hand, we were forging ahead courageously.

……

By the middle of the month, an international event finally diverted some attention.

Sijiu City also held a parade for this purpose!
