He Yuzhu opened his mouth and suddenly felt a little embarrassed, and he didn't know what to say, so he paused.

Xu Deyong raised his eyes to see his sloppy appearance, and couldn't help but smile and said, "What's the matter?" ”

He Yuzhu scratched his head and said a little hesitantly: "No, it's nothing......." ”

Then he turned and went into the house.

Xu Deyong felt a little inexplicable, and continued to be a shovel officer, the chickens have grown up a lot, but one has died, and there are still two or three left, and the space of this chicken coop can also raise four big chickens.

However, this old hen doesn't know if she can survive this year, and if Xu Hui is really pregnant, grandma will turn this chicken into nutrition.

He Yuzhu entered the house and looked at his sloppy appearance in the mirror, then thought about Xu Deyong's neat appearance, and then looked at the messy furnishings in the house.

As soon as he gritted his teeth, he began to clean up.

After simply placing and locating, and sniffing his body, he took the basin and took the pancreas to the pool to wash his hair.

After some sneering, looking at himself in the mirror, He Yuzhu felt a little confident again.

He went out and saw that Xu Deyong had finished cleaning up and was washing his hands, so he went over and said, "Hey, Deyong." ”

"Something?" Xu Deyong raised his eyebrows, which string didn't match early in the morning!

He Yuzhu's eyes flickered and said, "That ......, where are you from the tavern?" I've been there to give me a cheer. ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Thank you, it's not close to Qianmen Street from here, you have to take a car." ”

He Yuzhu said with a blank look: "Don't you look down on buddy, you only need a few cents for the ticket." ”

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "Cheng, we welcome you to go anything, but now it is a public-private partnership, and it is a public business, so I can't give you a discount." ”

He Yuzhu said: "Regardless of this, pay your salary, the day after tomorrow and the weekend, I will take my sister to Dashilar for a walk, and I will have a drink at night." ”

"Welcome." Xu Deyong smiled faintly and said, if people are willing to go, he can't stop him.

But it always feels like this thing has something else in mind.

At this time, Xu Huizhen also got up and came out to wash, He Yuzhu said hello and went back to the house to make breakfast for his sister-in-law.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Huizhen asked casually.

Xu Deyong smiled and said: "The pillar said that the day after tomorrow, he said that he would take his sister to visit Dashilar and have a drink at our tavern by the way." ”

Xu Huizhen said: "Yes, you didn't say that you should sit at home, they are all neighbors of the same courtyard." ”

Xu Deyong said: "I'll talk about it then." ”

"Uh-huh......." Xu Huizhen answered and began to brush her teeth.

Xu Deyong shook his hand, and opened the blind box with a thought.

"Bell, bell."

Xu Deyong was amused when he saw it, it turned out to be two copper hot pots, hey, you can eat mutton shabu when you turn around.

When he returned to the house, millet and corn porridge were boiling on the stove, and wisps of heat were bubbling from the pot.

Xu Nanshi was wearing reading glasses, sitting on the edge of the bed and doing something with colorful thin threads, Xiao Li'er was lying on the small wooden bed and playing with her little feet curiously, and her little feet moved from time to time, and she grinned to herself.

Seeing Xu Deyong coming over, he stretched out, "Ahhhh......hhh

It's like saying, "Look, it's fun."

Seeing this warm picture, Xu Deyong couldn't help but smile, rubbed Xiao Li'er's little feet with the back of his hand, looked at Xu Nanshi and said, "Grandma, what are you doing?" ”

Xu Nanshi bowed his head slightly, looked at him through his reading glasses, and said slowly: "As the old saying goes, "good is the first month, evil May", and there will be another week in the fifth month of the lunar calendar, May is hot and humid, and there are many plagues and evils. It's the Dragon Boat Festival in May, and I'll make a small colored dumpling for Li'er. ”

"Color?" Xu Deyong leaned over and said, "What? ”

Xu Nanshi waved his hand and pushed him away and said, "It's not Dongdong, it's colored zongzi." ”

"Oh......." Xu Deyong deliberately pulled a long voice and said: "There are still exquisite!" ”

Xu Nanshi said angrily: "What do you know, the five colors of green, red, white, black and yellow represent the five directions and five elements, and the five-color silk threads are wrapped into colorful dumplings and hung on the baby, which can bless the baby's safe and healthy growth." ”

"Yes." Xu Deyong smiled and said, "Grandma, do I have any?" ”

Xu Nan said without raising his head: "You are all adults, just go back and get some five-color threads to wrap around your wrists." ”

"Hey......." He then sighed and said: "You didn't have this thing when you were a child, you couldn't eat enough, let alone colorful threads, so now your life is more stable." ”

Xu Huizhen came over and heard Xu Nan's words, and her heart was also warm, it was the kind of long-lost sense of care from the elders after the death of her parents.

Xu Nanshi continued to chatter: "In the past, in May, I still have to hang calamus and mugwort leaves on both sides of the gate, saying what is "Ai Hu Pu Sword", which can kill insects and avoid poison, and then paste a paper-cut gourd with a mouth down below to say that it is a "disaster", and I have to wear Pu shoes, turn around and put Pu Ai away, which can be used for medicinal purposes, and can also be used for newborn......s to "wash three". ”

The people of Lao Jiucheng believe that there are two major events in life: one is the "washing three" of three days after birth; One is the "succession of three" when he dies for three days.

When he was "washing three", he talked a lot, and he took a mallet and stirred it into the basin, saying something: "One stirring, two stirring, three stirring, my brother leading my younger brother to run ......." ”

Bathing the baby, the child cries when he is cold, not only does not commit taboos, but thinks it is auspicious, which is called "ringing the basin".

While washing, while chanting the greetings, what "wash your hair first, be a prince; After washing the waist, one generation is taller than the other; Wash the eggs, as the county; Wash the ditch and do the "...... of Zhizhou.

In short, there are a lot of such words and exquisiteness, the folk customs of our country are very interesting and ritualistic, including the simple expectations and feelings of the common people, if you are interested, you can search for it yourself, I will not water.

Of course, with the improvement of sanitary conditions, the birth of children in hospitals has gradually disappeared.

Xu Deyong listened, turned around and smiled at Xu Hui's truth, and Xiao Li'er also listened curiously to the adults.

Xu Huizhen went over to stir the pot, Xu Deyong and Xu Nan chattered for a while and said with a smile: "Grandma, I'll go out of the city for you to get some for you when I turn around and Ai Ye." ”

"Hmm." Xu Nanshi nodded and said: "Get more Ai Ye, and you can smoke mosquitoes when you go back to dry." ”

There is still a box of mosquito coils in Xu Deyong's blind box space, which is enough for smoked mosquitoes, but he didn't say anything, just nodded in response.

After eating, everyone went out to work, and Xu Deyong's family went out, which was still enviable.

This means that there are more people who work, and there is more income, and life is naturally better.

Yi Zhonghai's attitude was much better when he saw Xu Deyong, after all, Xu Deyong took the lead in burning honeycomb coal in the courtyard, but it made him and the courtyard in the limelight on the street.

He held several meetings on behalf of the courtyard just by going out for meetings, and he had a very long face!

People give a smile, Xu Deyong naturally greeted him with a smile, he thought about it, it's June, and the comprehensive reform of wages is just around the corner.

At that time, Yi Zhonghai will be at least a seventh-level worker, or even a direct eighth-level worker.

Even a seventh-level worker is quite remarkable, and he is a character who can break with the factory director a few times.

You can shout at him in words and deeds, reasoning, but you really don't understand how to "slap" and "beat" at every turn, it's just .......

Of course, everyone is similar, and when you put your brains down, you can all watch it, and I'm not cool yet.

"Deyong, go get busy!"

"Aunt Nan, go to the neighborhood committee."

……

After saying hello, a group of people hula hula scattered in the alley, running their own way.

Jia Zhang looked at the empty courtyard and muttered sourly: "Hey, what kind of energy." ”

Then she looked at Qin Huairu, and said a little angrily: "Hey, Huairu, how are you going to the literacy class every day?" Have you learned? ”

Qin Huairu said: "It's not just learning one word, how can it be learned so quickly, don't you see that those who go to school have to go to school for several years." ”

"Years!" Jia Zhang's face sank and said: "That's not possible, my body is occasionally uncomfortable, what should I do if I am tired from watching the children and the work at home!" ”

Qin Huairu pursed her lips and said: "Then you rest, the work at home is waiting for me to come back to do it, you can watch the children buy groceries, if you are tired of buying groceries, this job will also be handed over to me." ”

Jia Zhang hurriedly said: "No, this grocery shopping is much more exquisite, you don't understand the Tao." ”

Qin Huairu lowered her eyebrows and lowered her eyes, and secretly rolled her eyes, this mother-in-law is still guarding against her, and she is still afraid that she will not be able to help her mother's family if she uses the money?

Jia Dongxu doesn't speak as a man, she has no way at all, and she doesn't have more than two cents on her.

At this time, the little stick terrier took the small wooden broken sword and said: "Mom, I don't want to be at home with grandma, grandma doesn't play with me, I want to go out with you." ”

Jia Zhangshi suddenly said: "Hey, you little conscienceless, grandma has to play with you all the time!" These shoes you are wearing are not made for you by your grandmother! ”

The little stick terrier pouted, "Mom will do it too." ”

Qin Huairu said: "Okay, good terrier, good boy, my mother can't take you when she goes out to read, and you can also go to school to read and write in a few years, and your mother can't accompany you at that time." ”

"Oh." The little stick terrier nodded as if he didn't understand: "I want to go to school, like Uncle Yong." ”

Jia Zhangshi said angrily: "He's a big fart." ”

The little stick terrier pouted and said, "It's amazing, or you can make me a small wooden sword." ”

Jia Zhang said: "Little conscienceless, how can you turn your elbow out at a young age, I'll take this broken wood for you to burn the fire." ”

The little stick terrier blinked, ran to the door, took out a small wooden gun from his waist, exposed half of his little head and said to Jia Zhang's: "Let's ......." ”

Jia Zhang stared angrily.

……

Moving forward in life, some people are nailed in place by the old nails, some people abandon the nails, and some people like to pick up the "nails" to study and study.

For example, at this time, the city wall is being demolished, and the Chaoyang Gate is being demolished; For example, Guo Moruo was digging the grave of Emperor Wanli at this time, and it took two years to dig it, so miserable that the emperor really didn't even leave the coffin board, and threw it directly and was picked up and chopped as firewood, and the loss caused by the poor technical conditions was incalculable.

So if you want to dig in the future, you won't be allowed to dig it.

And judging from the bones of Emperor Wanli, Wanli has a problem with his leg, and there are reasons why people are reluctant to go to court.

Of course, all history is the same, to paraphrase:

Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact; Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth.

What's the truth?

The truth is...... Women are like sand, the more you hold them, the more they scatter.

Unless you get the sand wet.

At night, Xu Deyong stood and chanted "so wet".

I don't know who I am in my dream, and I am greedy and happy, and I ....... in the clouds.

……

The weekend came as scheduled, and early in the morning, Liu Dezhu came to Xu Deyong and said that Director Ma of the grain store asked him to go to the construction site outside the city to deliver a batch of grain.

Xu Deyong hasn't been going out to find a job much recently, in the current parlance, "word of mouth is beginning to ferment", his main focus is a thoughtful service, can take a hand and never look at it, the money is not overcharged, and the right is exercised.

Of course, sometimes people will give a dime a dime, and Xu Deyong does not dislike it.

During the period of public-private partnership of vehicles, there were repeat customers from the vicinity or old customers who came to the tavern to leave a letter or something at both ends of the three days.

Before getting married, he looked at a lot of things, but he didn't actually spend much money, so these days, the tickets in his 'pocket' have broken through the two hundred mark.

cough, among them, the "list one" and "list two" sisters contributed a small half.

This does not include the money received from the marriage, which was "divided" by Xu Huizhen and her grandmother.

Moreover, the money on Gangzi's side has not been settled, and there must be dozens of yuan anyway.

You can't spend it, you can't spend it at all, you say it's annoying!

Originally, Xu Deyong planned to go to the entrusted store to take a look and spend some money, but now he can only work first.

I ran twice at noon and earned a piece of six.

When he came back, he saw a seller selling orange juice soda on the side of the road, and his eyes lit up.

Arctic Ocean soda originated in 36 years, Wang Yusheng, the nephew of Wang Zhanyuan, the former overseer of Hubei, opened the Beiping Ice Factory in Beiping, which was renamed the Beijing Xinjian Ice Factory after liberation.

The Arctic Ocean soda was first put into production in 1951, when Deng Yi, then the director of the new ice factory in Beijing, hired a painter to design the trademark of the "Snow Mountain White Bear" pattern for the Arctic Ocean soda.

Xu Deyong asked the price.

Good guys, three cents and five bottles.

However, the actual price of two cents is also a little expensive, which is beyond the reach of most children.

In the envious gaze of the children and youth around him.

Xu Deyong bought two bottles and spent seven cents, if he couldn't return four cents, he would still be a little distressed, after all, he only earned a piece of six at noon.

After all, at this time, everyone is the concept of saving, especially according to the view of the miscellaneous courtyard: "What a good food, it is the same after the throat and eyes!" "Fragrant mouth, stinky ass."

Xu Deyong carried two bottles of Arctic Ocean soda and went home happily.

Seeing Xu Huizhen, she took it out as if offering a treasure and said, "Sigh, daughter-in-law, drink soda." ”

Xu Huizhen smiled and said angrily: "What are you spending this money for, a bottle of old and expensive." ”

Xiao Li'er on the side saw the bottle, especially the pattern on it and the orange juice inside, and immediately couldn't wait to reach out for it, and made an urgent sound in her mouth.

"Call Daddy." Xu Deyong teased her.

Xiao Li'er was so anxious that she suddenly said, "Ah...... Speaker....... ”

Xu Deyong was suddenly pleasantly surprised: "Daughter-in-law, did you hear it?" Li'er will call Daddy. ”

"I heard it, I should call my mother first" Xu Huizhen was a little jealous and said: "Li'er, call your mother." ”

"Horn ......."

Xu Deyong picked her up and kissed her and said, "Well, good girl." ”

Xu Huizhen patted him angrily and said, "You stink to death, go wash it." ”
