Chapter 61: After a Good Meal and a Good Drink, We Return to the Courtyard
Du Fei said, "Is this Brother Wei trying to get you to make money?"
"That's right~" Chu Cheng muttered, "Although he has never said it explicitly, since we met, he always mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally every time. He also vaguely revealed to me that he has a big way and can make me rich."
Du Fei smiled half-heartedly and said, "Then why didn't you agree?"
Chu Cheng let out a 'chee' sound, took a sip of wine and said, "I'm not stupid either. I met him by chance. We are not related to each other. Why should he take me with him? If you show courtesy for nothing, you are either committing adultery or stealing."
Du Fei smiled and said, "You are quite a thief!"
Chu Cheng shook his head and said, "But I was really tempted by what he said, but I just don't trust this person. In fact, you didn't buy a watch today, so I planned to mention it to you. You have the brains, and I have the connections, so why?" They are making a lot of money, so we have to live on a diet of glutinous rice?”
In fact, Brother Wei, the so-called money-making business, is just some speculative business to put it bluntly.
But in this era, money comes really fast.
Chu Cheng's background is not shallow, and he generally cannot be jealous.
Du Fei thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not that this matter can't be done, but it's definitely not now. That guy named Wei is uneasy and kind-hearted, and wants to drag you into trouble. When he goes home later, don't hide it, and tell you about this matter." Dad, your mom said.”
Chu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he was almost half drunk. "You mean, someone wants to mess with my old man! This...can't be done, right?"
Du Fei said, "There's nothing you can't do. Not to mention your father, even the King of Heaven will still be cared about."
Du Fei paused and said, "I'm not sure. Anyway, your dad has great powers. Tell him the matter and let him investigate on his own to avoid being plotted by others."
When Chu Cheng heard that this was the truth, he sighed with a grimace and said, "Oh~ no matter what the result is, I won't be able to run this time and I will be punished~"
Du Fei didn't care about him sighing, just in time the second plate of barbecue came up, and he immediately started eating.
Chu Cheng also temporarily forgot his worries and hurriedly started eating...
It wasn't until one o'clock in the afternoon that the two of them went back to their respective homes with their mouths full of food.
Du Fei drank at most three ounces of the bottle of chrysanthemum white just now, and Chu Cheng did the rest.
As Du Fei's physique increased, his drinking capacity also increased, and he didn't feel anything at all after these three ounces of wine.
Thinking about the fireplace he saw in the trust store, Du Fei got on his bicycle and quickly returned to the courtyard, intending to discuss it with Lei Laoliu.
Because it was Sunday, the courtyard was also very lively.
The third uncle went out fishing before dawn, and finally got some results today. He caught three or four palm-sized crucian carp, and he was sitting at the door collecting the spoils.
When he saw Du Fei, he immediately showed off, "Hey, Xiao Du, take a look, how about these few fish I caught today?"
Du Fei pushed the bicycle, stretched his neck, took a look into the bucket, held it in his hands and said, "It's really not small! You can't sell it for two yuan when you take it to the market?"
In fact, if you can sell a few fish like Uncle San for 50 cents in the market, it’s pretty good.
But the sedan chair is carried by everyone, and it costs nothing to say a few auspicious words.
When the third uncle heard this, his face suddenly felt bright, as if he had really picked up two dollars.
"Okay, you're busy, I'll go home first and have a look." Du Fei pushed the car and walked in. When he entered the middle courtyard, he saw Auntie and Xiaojun.
The weather is nice today. Auntie took out the quilt to dry it in the sun. Xiaojun took a stick and beat her hard to fluff up the cotton in the quilt.
In the past, this was all done by the aunt herself
Take action, now that I have a son, it is naturally very different.
The aunt stood nearby, her eyes full of satisfaction.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai hugged Xiaoling, who was wearing a new flower coat, leaned half out of the room and shouted, "Old woman, look, is the chicken soup ready? Xiaoling is hungry."
As he was talking, he saw Du Fei coming in and immediately called out, "Xiao Du, come home and have a drink of chicken soup. Your aunt has been stewing it all morning."
Du Fei smiled and said, "Master, this is not a coincidence. I just finished eating at noon and I am very stuffed."
"Hello, brother Du Fei~" Xiao Jun next to him turned around and saw Du Fei, and also said hello.
Although he didn't know the whole story, he knew that without Du Fei's help, he and his sister would not have been adopted, let alone the carefree life they have now.
"Xiao Junxing, I can help your mother with work." Du Fei boasted.
Xiaojun was a little embarrassed, and the eldest mother smiled even more when she heard "your mother".
At this moment, a scream like a slaughtering pig suddenly came from the Jia family room, "No, unless I die... Oops! Dongxu, please open your eyes! Take mom away..."
Immediately afterwards, Qin Huairu walked out of the house angrily. When she saw everyone in the courtyard looking at her, Du Fei was also there. She couldn't help lowering her head, clenching her fists and walking quickly out of the courtyard.
Du Fei noticed that the pretty widow was wearing something different today, a light blue floral cotton-padded jacket and fitted blue trousers.
Although from Du Fei's point of view, they still looked rustic, they were all new and not even patched.
Moreover, the pretty widow rarely had her hair tied up, and she had a big ball on her head, which made her look taller.
Probably hearing Jia Zhang's howl, Shazhu ran out of the house with disheveled hair and a cotton-padded jacket. He was meeting Qin Huairu and called out, "Hey, Sister Qin~"
Qin Huairu ignored him, instead quickened her pace and ran out directly.
Silly Zhu looked confused, scratched his greasy hair, and murmured, "Hey, who did I offend?"
Du Fei saw this and chuckled to himself, "Who are you provoking? Don't you know what to do?" If she hadn't been afraid that her daughter-in-law would find a man to remarry, would Mrs. Jia Zhang have moved out of her damn son?
And I didn’t hear Bangge crying this time, so it’s definitely not a matter of educating children.
Du Fei secretly guessed, "Hmm~ I guess it was Jia Zhang who overheard the gossip between the pretty widow and silly Zhuzhu somewhere. She became suspicious and shook the mountain to shake the tiger."
Putting aside the original situation, Qin Huairu would definitely have to explain it nicely.
But after being "opened" twice by Du Fei's bad mouth, the pretty widow also became frightened. Although she didn't scold her mother-in-law, she couldn't afford to offend me and couldn't hide.
After Qin Huairu ran out, there was no movement in the Jia family's house.
But Jia Zhang's voice just now gave the aunts and uncles in the courtyard a source of conversation in the afternoon.
A group of aunts, aunts, and even a few idle men joined in and transformed into Conan, analyzing and reasoning in various ways.
Du Fei pushed his bicycle and finally returned to the backyard.
The canteen was closed today, but Aunt Qian still made lunch, and Lei Laoliu went to pick it up on his bicycle at noon.
Several chefs had finished their meal and were installing window frames and door frames.
More than 20 pairs of window sashes have been painted, because Du Fei requested that they not be painted. In order to ensure waterproofing and durability, wood wax oil will have to be applied several times. The earliest window sash will be painted tomorrow afternoon, and putty will be applied.
Inside the house, the bathroom and kitchen already have a rough outline. Du Fei said, "Is this Brother Wei trying to get you to make money?"
"That's right~" Chu Cheng muttered, "Although he has never said it explicitly, since we met, he always mentioned it intentionally or unintentionally every time. He also vaguely revealed to me that he has a big way and can make me rich."
Du Fei smiled half-heartedly and said, "Then why didn't you agree?"

In fact, Brother Wei, the so-called money-making business, is just some speculative business to put it bluntly.
But in this era, money comes really fast.
Chu Cheng's background is not shallow, and he generally cannot be jealous.
Du Fei thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's not impossible to do this, but it's definitely not now. That guy surnamed Wei is uneasy and kind-hearted, and wants to drag you into trouble. When he goes home later, don't hide it, and tell you about this matter." Dad, your mom said.”
Chu Cheng's eyes narrowed, and he was almost half drunk. "You mean, someone wants to mess with my old man! This...can't be done, right?"

The weather is nice today. Auntie took out the quilt to dry it in the sun. Xiaojun took a stick and beat her hard to fluff up the cotton in the quilt.
In the past, this was all done by the aunt herself
Come on, now that I have a son, things are naturally different.
The aunt stood nearby, her eyes full of satisfaction.
At this moment, Yi Zhonghai hugged Xiaoling, who was wearing a new flower coat, leaned half out of the room and shouted, "Old woman, look, is the chicken soup ready? Xiaoling is hungry."

"Xiao Junxing, I can help your mother with work." Du Fei boasted.
Xiaojun was a little embarrassed, and the aunt smiled when she heard "your mother".
At this moment, a pig-killing scream suddenly came from the Jia family's room, "No, unless I die... Oh! Dongxu~ Open your eyes! Take mom away too..."
Following that, Qin Huairu walked out of the house angrily, and saw that everyone in the yard was looking at her, and Du Fei was there too. She couldn't help but lower her head, clenched her fists and walked quickly out of the yard.
Du Fei noticed that the pretty widow was wearing something different today, a light blue floral cotton jacket and fitted blue cloth pants.
Although it was still rustic in Du Fei's eyes, they were all half-new, without a patch.
And the pretty widow rarely tied her hair up, with a big bun on her head, making her look taller.
Probably because he heard Jia Zhang's howl, Sha Zhu ran out of the house with his hair disheveled and wearing a cotton jacket, and just as he met Qin Huairu, he shouted "Hey, Sister Qin~"
Qin Huairu ignored him, instead quickened her pace and ran out directly.
Sha Zhu was confused, scratched his greasy hair, and murmured "Hey, who did I offend?"
Du Fei saw it and laughed in his heart, who did you offend, don't you know it yourself? If she wasn't afraid that her daughter-in-law would find a man to remarry, would Jia Zhang have to bring up her dead son?
And this time, I didn't hear Bang Geng crying, it must not be about educating the child.
Du Fei secretly guessed, "Well~ I guess Jia Zhang heard the rumors about the widow and Sha Zhu again, and she was suspicious and threatened to scare the tiger."
If it were originally, Qin Huairu would definitely explain it in a nice way.
But after being "enlightened" twice by Du Fei's broken mouth, the pretty widow also stood up. Although she didn't quarrel with her mother-in-law, she couldn't hide from me even if she couldn't afford to offend me.
After Qin Huairu ran out, there was no movement in the Jia family's house.
But Jia Zhang's shout just now gave the aunts and aunts in the yard a topic of conversation in the afternoon.
A group of aunts and aunts, and even a few idle old men, also came over and turned into Conan, analyzing and reasoning in various ways.
Du Fei pushed his bicycle and finally returned to the backyard.
The canteen was closed today, but Aunt Qian still made lunch for her. Lei Laoliu rode his bicycle to pick it up at noon.
After eating, several masters were installing window frames and door frames.
More than 20 pairs of window sashes have been installed. Because Du Fei required that they could not be painted, in order to ensure waterproofness and durability, they had to apply several coats of wood wax oil. The earliest would be tomorrow afternoon, and the glass and putty would be installed.
Inside the house, the bathroom and kitchen have already taken shape.
