Siheyuan Fortune Telling: Starting from a Buyer to Become an All-rounder

Because Deng'er had her back to them, she didn't notice them coming. Zhao Youtian coughed and Deng'er turned around. If she was a little whiter, she would definitely be a beauty, with big eyes, a high nose bridge, thin eyebrows and thin lips. Although she was wearing simple clothes, it couldn't hide her figure at all.

It's a pity that digging for food in this yellow earth and getting tanned very yellow, no matter how beautiful a person is, after decades of hard work, can only be said to be... But look at the clothes Deng'er is wearing, which have few patches on them, much fewer than those worn by Zhao Youtian.

Moreover, Deng'er seems to have some flesh on his face, which means he is living a pretty good life. It can be seen that Zhao Youtian really likes Deng'er, otherwise, it would be impossible for Zhao Youtian to treat him so willingly even though he has such a feeling of resentment in his heart.

If it was Xu Dongsheng, he would definitely get out of here as far as he could. There must be other reasons why Deng'er married Zhao Youtian. Obviously, this was a forced melon. Although a forced melon can quench your thirst, this unsweet melon will only make you feel unhappy over time.

However, this is someone else's life and Xu Dongsheng has no intention of interfering.

"Deng'er, this is a buyer from the city. Please entertain him. Comrade Dongsheng, please take a break first. I'll let Deng'er show you what you like at home. Take it out first. I'll go get the chicken."

In front of outsiders, Deng'er still gave face to Zhao Youtian, so Zhao Youtian introduced himself to Deng'er and then hurried to the back of the yard.

"Ah, hello, comrade. Please take a seat."

Deng'er was about to lose her temper when she saw Zhao Youtian coming, but when she saw Xu Dongsheng pushing a bicycle, she swallowed her words and asked Xu Dongsheng to sit down.

"You're welcome. Brother Zhao exchanged two chickens with me for half a pound of milk candy. I was a bit at a disadvantage. Brother Zhao said that he wanted me to look around your house. If there is anything worth money, you can use it to compensate me. Please take me to have a look first."

Zhao Youtian went to catch chickens, so Xu Dongsheng asked his wife to take her to see. Zhao Youtian's land was not very large. Xu Dongsheng looked around the yard at a glance and found nothing valuable. In the two rooms, there were only bowls, pans, and a basket of eggs, which were obviously left for the children. Xu Dongsheng did not touch them. There was not even a pot on the stove, and there was nothing valuable. It could be said that they were penniless.

"It is a blessing for Zhao Yutian to marry you, and it is also a blessing for you. For the sake of a child you picked up, the only chicken in the family that is worth a little money was exchanged for milk candy to thank the child's nanny. The difference in the price of the milk candy can be offset by this set of cups."

Even though he was so poor, he could still marry Deng'er. It was probably because Deng'er was deliberately angry. Xu Dongsheng said something more. Then, for the difference in the price of the candy, Xu Dongsheng chose the two or four cups on the windowsill on the kang.

Xu Dongsheng was very sincere and could tell the price of the cups at a glance. These four cups were worth 40 yuan, or 10 yuan per cup. Obviously, these should have been something he got from playing Landlord in the past.

They didn't know the price either, and since Xu Dongsheng saw it, he naturally didn't hesitate.

"Thank you."

Sure enough, when Deng'er saw Xu Dongsheng choose two cups, he immediately thanked Xu Dongsheng, and then quickly handed the two cups to Xu Dongsheng. As for what Xu Dongsheng said, Deng'er seemed not to hear it.

Xu Dongsheng took the cup and felt it. The cup was warm and delicate. In this poor home, it had not been maintained at all, but when he held it in his hand, he could feel that the quality of this cup was different.

"Comrade Dongsheng is here."

Xu Dongsheng came out of the house holding two cups, and Zhao Youtian also ran back from the back of the yard holding two chickens in his arms, with their heads covered.

Upon seeing this, Xu Dongsheng first looked at the situation. Indeed, what Zhao Youtian said was true. Then Xu Dongsheng took out the four cups he had just selected. Zhao Youtian looked at the cups in Xu Dongsheng's hand without saying much, but became more enthusiastic towards Xu Dongsheng. He thought that Xu Dongsheng saw the situation in his house and didn't have the heart to take other things from his house.

These cups were snatched away when we were playing Landlord at that time, and the several porcelain bowls in the house were also snatched away from Ma Renli's house.

That’s right, this landlord is the father of the village’s deputy captain, but Old Ma is gone and his house has been confiscated, so now it has become the home of captain Niu Dadan.

Moreover, Ma Renli was well-educated, and for some other reasons, he became the deputy captain.

There were two burlap bags tied to the back of Xu Dongsheng's bicycle. He first took down the upper burlap bag, opened it, and put the two chickens in it. Then he took down the second bag, opened it, and took out a small bag of toffee from it.

"I've given you the stuff. You can weigh it again. If there's no problem, we're even."

Xu Dongsheng handed the candy to Zhao Youtian. Zhao Youtian opened the small bag, looked at the candy inside, and immediately swallowed his saliva.

"it is good."

Zhao Youtian didn't hesitate to go and find a scale to weigh the chicken. He had borrowed the scale to weigh the candy. The candy and the milk candy weighed half a pound.

"Yes, Deng'er, come and try it."

After Zhao Youtian put the candy together, he quickly peeled off a piece and fed it to Deng'er. Deng'er was touched by this and put the candy in her mouth, chewing it as if she was enjoying some exquisite delicacy. Although Zhao Youtian also wanted to try one, he just watched Deng'er eat it, then swallowed his saliva, looked at the baby in the stroller, and tied his pocket.

"Then Brother Zhao, I'll leave first and go look at other places."

Seeing this, Xu Dongsheng said goodbye to Zhao Youtian. Zhao Youtian saw Xu Dongsheng out of the yard, and Xu Dongsheng continued to stroll around the village pushing his bicycle.

"Hey, is this the buyer?"

Xu Dongsheng walked for a long time and felt that he had walked through all the houses in the village. At this time, a voice suddenly called Xu Dongsheng in a small alley. Xu Dongsheng was delighted and turned around to see a man wearing faded blue clothes and a hat. The man had a long face, a pointed chin, and small eyes, but his eyes were full of wisdom.

Moreover, Xu Dongsheng saw that although there were wrinkles on this man's face, his skin color was relatively fine, and the calluses on his hands were not as thick as Zhao Youtian's. However, the age difference between the two was not that big. He immediately knew that this man must have had a good life in the past. There could only be one kind of person like him, a former landlord, or the son of a landlord, that is, Ma Renli.

"Hello. I am the purchaser from the village, Xu Dongsheng."

Xu Dongsheng nodded.

"Hello, comrade. I have some dried sparrows that I want to sell to you. They weigh about 60 kilograms. Do you want some?"

Xu Dongsheng had already guessed that the man was Ma Renli, so he quickly came to the corner of the house where Ma Renli was hiding, and asked him what good things he had and how heavy they were.

"Jerky sparrow? Sixty kilograms?"

Xu Dongsheng was stunned. Ma Renli actually had 60 kilograms of sparrow jerky? How could there be so many sparrows in the commune to make sparrow jerky for you? Sparrow jerky has little meat and many bones. Basically, few people would make it into jerky.

"Yes, I made it last year when we were eradicating the four pests. Everyone who got it roasted it and had a feast, but after a while, no one ate it anymore. I saved it. If you want it, it's ten cents a pound."

Ma Renli told Xu Dongsheng where the sparrow jerky came from, and then asked Xu Dongsheng if he wanted some. Xu Dongsheng thought about it, although the sparrow jerky has less meat, it is still meat after all. Although it may not be able to be made into a big dish, if it falls into the hands of Sha Zhu, it may be a good dish. Moreover, sixty kilograms is only six yuan, Xu Dongsheng can afford the loss.

"Okay, I'll take it. I'll wait for you here, or should I go get it with you?"

Xu Dongsheng nodded, indicating that he wanted it, and then asked where to pick it up. "Go to my house. It's quite far. I can't carry it by myself."

Although the landlord's son has been exercising for more than ten years, his innate strength has not been developed. Forcing exercise without acquired nutrition will only cause the loss of one's essence. Therefore, Xu Dongsheng estimated that the landlord's son is not a fool. It is normal for him to have less strength. Moreover, there are a lot of dried sparrows in 60 kilograms, and it is probably not easy to carry them.

Afterwards, Xu Dongsheng and Ma Renli went to their house together. This house was Niu Dadan’s former house. It only had one room, which was not very big and was covered with thatch.

Ma Renli brought Xu Dongsheng to their home. Ma Renli poured water for Xu Dongsheng, then went into the house and went into the cellar. After a while, Ma Renli came out of the cellar holding a large bag of things.

"Take it."

Xu Dongsheng quickly reached out and lifted up both the person and the bag. Ma Renli did not expect Xu Dongsheng to be so strong. Together with him, it weighed more than 100 pounds, but Xu Dongsheng lifted it up directly. Ma Renli looked at Xu Dongsheng in surprise. Xu Dongsheng weighed the bag and found it was a little heavier than Ma Renli said, at 68 pounds.
