Siheyuan: I am Du Shouyi

Chapter 42 Take a Bath
After a few days of ventilating, Dabai in Xiaobei House was basically done. On Saturday night, Du Shouyi and Gong Xiaobei quietly moved the house without disturbing the others.

After moving, Du Shouyi came to the yard with Gong Xiaobei with two big watermelons.

"Brother Zhuzi, help me cut up the melon. Xiaobei and I will send some to every house in the courtyard."

"Hey, this melon looks good, where did it come from?"

Du Shouyi said perfunctorily, "It's from Panggezhuang. Xiaobei officially moved here today, and everyone in the courtyard will take care of him in the future."

The uncle said: "You have moved the house? Why didn't you hear anything?"

"We walked from the north alley without disturbing everyone. Brother Zhuzi, hurry up? Just pointing at your knife skills?"

"Okay, I'll take the knife."

He Yuzhu left cheerfully.Du Shouyi pulled Gong Xiaobei to sit down at the table and said, "You sit down first, and I'll go get some melons."

He signed [-] large watermelons from Panggezhuang this morning, which happened to come in handy at this time.

While He Yuzhu was cutting, he and Gong Xiaobei were seeing it off. After a lot of work, they finally sat down.

"This melon is really sweet, but it's been a few years since I tasted such a sweet melon." He Yuzhu said while eating.

"When are you going to Teacher Ran's house? I'll get you one."

"Hurry up then? I'll go tomorrow."

"real or fake?"

"Really. Tomorrow is Qiuye's mother's birthday, so I have to cook."

"Cooking is cooking, don't scold people? What do you mean Qiuye's mother's birthday? Did Teacher Renran provoke you?"

It took a while for the people at the table to understand and burst out laughing.He Yuzhu also laughed and said, "Are you talking about cross talk with me?"

Du Shouyi suddenly remembered something and asked, "Is there still a cross talk at the Tianqiao?"

"The stalls have long since disappeared, and they have all entered the theater. I heard that performances are booming from morning to night every day."

[-] and [-] were the peak of cross talk in Kyoto, and the actors were so tired that they vomited blood.Then it slowly started to go downhill.Du Shouyi had been thinking about when he would go to witness.

As he was thinking, Gong Xiaobei thought he was hesitating, so he said softly, "You can go if you want?"

"It's too hot. I can't stand the smell of sweat in the theater. I'll wait until the weather cools down. Have you finished eating? Let's go back after eating."

"Shall I go after packing up?"

After hearing this, He Yuzhu said: "Come on, you guys go, leave this to me. I will pickle some watermelon rind later, and I can add pickles tomorrow morning. Do you want it?"

"No. Then we'll leave first." Du Shouyi said and dragged Gong Xiaobei away.

After returning to the north room, Du Shouyi said, "You can send two watermelons to Yushui, I still have something to do here."

Gong Xiaobei looked at him suspiciously.

Du Shouyi smiled and said, "Hurry up? Hurry up and come back. I'm going to prepare some surprises for you."

Gong Xiaobei also laughed. Although she didn't know what Du Shouyi was up to, she was inexplicably looking forward to it.

When she came back again, there was a large bathtub half a person's height in the room, half filled with warm water.

"Wash, it's more comfortable to wash in warm water today." Du Shouyi said with a smile.

The sanitation of the courtyard house is far less convenient than that of the cadre building, and taking a shower in summer is difficult.Because Gong Xiaobei's small courtyard was separated earlier, it has an independent water supply.The other residents in the courtyard are now sharing a public pool.

Du Shouyi had thought about this problem a long time ago. Since Gong Xiaobei moved here, the quality of life should not drop too much.what to do?Are you tired?There is room anyway.

Du Shouyi went out of the room and closed the door with his backhand. Gong Xiaobei stood there not knowing what to say.
After about ten minutes, she came out refreshed.Du Shouyi was sitting in the middle of the courtyard and watching for her.Seeing her, he asked, "Did you finish washing?"

Gong Xiaobei said a little shyly, "Yes."

"Then you have to work hard, let Shougui come over from the back door, and I will prepare for her too."

"Oh." Gong Xiaobei didn't leave immediately, she looked at Du Shouyi affectionately.

Du Shouyi kissed her forehead lightly and said, "It's just a shower, don't worry too much about it. I said: as long as you want it, as long as I have it."

"Hmm. Thanks."

Sunday.Du Shougui, who was so excited that he almost stayed up all night, finally got her bicycle.After buying some clothes and two electric fans, Du Shouyi's capital pool was almost bottomed out again.

He now feels that he is quite a prodigal. 500 yuan is a huge sum of money that many people can't save for more than ten years. He spent less than half a month and it was gone.

The money is given by the system, so it doesn't feel bad to spend it, but after thinking about it, the speed is also quite scary.

After returning from the compound at night, Gong Xiaobei had an extra 'Peony Brand' radio in his room.This radio is probably in the early [-]s, which is more than a month's wages for my uncle.

Radios are a 'luxury' in this era, not only expensive but also need a ticket, so there are not many radios in the whole alley.

Gong Xiaobei is an announcer, and this is what he fiddles with every day. It's not unusual.Seeing that Du Shougui and He Yushui were in high spirits, he simply handed over the north house to them, and went to the front yard to chat with Du Shouyi in the shade.

"Shouyi, what is this? I watched you play all night."

"You mean this?" Du Shouyi said as he raised the black jade carving in his hand, which he got the day he cleaned up his son Ma Dabangzi.

"It's a piece of black jade. It has been thrown away in a corner, and it was only found out two days ago. I thought it was a pig, but now it looks like a bear. Would you like to see it?"

Gong Xiaobei also became interested, took the jade piece and looked at it carefully: "It seems to be a bear, why don't you ask someone?"

"Forget it, I'm too lazy to ask. Anyway, it must not be Xia Dai's jade."

"Is Xia Daiyu good?"

Du Shouyi thought for a while and said, "Jade processing began in the Shang and Zhou dynasties, so there were almost no jobs for jade before that. Do you know that there are three things in life that you can't meet? There are houses with trees in Houhai, and jade with jobs in Xia Dynasty. , and you at this moment."

Gong Xiaobei was teased again, blushing, staring at Du Shouyi with fluttering eyes and not saying a word.It's not safe to be next to the gate, if it's in the north courtyard, something will definitely happen at this time!
Du Shouyi included himself in it. That night, he deliberately went around Houhai to find a house with trees, and added some fish to the space by the way.

On Wednesday, He Yushui's admission notice finally came down, 'Kyoto Normal Technical Secondary School'.The hanging heart of the little girl finally let go.

In the courtyard, Liu Guangtian graduated from junior high school together this year.His grades were not good, and he began to wait for the street to assign work early.

The second uncle approached Du Shouyi two days ago and asked him to help Liu Guangtian join the army.

"You are only fifteen years old, and you have to be eighteen to be a soldier. How can I have that ability?" Du Shouyi refused, using his age as an excuse.

"Isn't there a special trick?"

"Special recruits require special talents. Does Liu Guangtian have any? You should find someone else for this matter. Xiao Bei's uncle hates going through the back door the most. Have you seen Xiao Bei joining the army? This explains the problem."

The second uncle thinks about it too, didn't Gong Xiaobei also join the army?The temper of senior cadres is really uncertain.

As for how he judged the senior cadres?In addition to the "Old Revolution" of [-] years, the second aunt also went to Xiaobei's small courtyard to see it.

She had only heard of that big leather sofa and had never seen it in her life.Plus bicycles, radios, imported watches
Be darling, who can afford it if it's not a senior cadre?This is not a dowry, it's just for Gong Xiaobei's daily life.The level of this cadre is not generally high.
