Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

"Master Yi, open the door! I, Dongxu..."

The door creaked open.

Jia Dongxu immediately smiled and said, "Master Yi, you have opened the door."

"Dongxu, what do you want from me?"

Yi Zhonghai's attitude was very cold.

Jia Dongxu didn't care at all, and got into the house as politely as his own family.

"Hey! The food is so good today! I didn't disturb you, did I?"

Yi Zhonghai thought: Why do you have the nerve to ask?

"Yes. It's the old lady's birthday today, and as the third representative of the courtyard, I have to take the lead and care for the lonely elderly people in our courtyard. Is there anything wrong with you?"

"This meat is so delicious! To be honest, my mother hasn't cooked yet!"

Jia Dongxu looked at the pot of fat meat and his mouth was drooling all over the table.

As soon as I sat down, I started looking for chopsticks.

The move was so big that even the deaf old lady with blind eyes saw it.

She squinted her eyes, looking confident.

She had already discussed it with Yi Zhonghai and waited until it was time to take action.

Now is the time for Yi Zhonghai and his wife to come on stage.

"Master Wife, please bring me a pair of chopsticks. Thank you."

Jia Dongxu raised his head and smiled at Gao Xiaocui.

Yi Zhonghai immediately said with a straight face: "Jia Dongxu, are you polite?"

Jia Dongxu froze for a moment.

Why is there such a discrepancy between what Jia and Zhang said?

She didn’t say anything like this happened!

"Master..."

"As I said just now, it's the old lady's birthday and I invited her to a meal. You came here empty-handed, and you want to snatch the old lady's meat to eat. Is this how I usually teach you? You have no education at all! You are embarrassed Not ashamed?"

Jia Dongxu couldn't wipe his face at first, but Yi Zhonghai almost cried when he was scolded like this.

"You can eat it if you want. Go home and get the gifts and then come back. You are my apprentice now, and your words and deeds are not just for yourself. Do you know that? Let the neighbors know it, and they will laugh at me as a master for not teaching well. I can’t afford to lose this person to you!”

Jia Dongxu was attacked serially and couldn't resist.

It’s not like sitting there, it’s not like standing up, it’s not like not standing up.

"Still sitting here and not moving? Are you pretending that you can't hear what I said?"

Yi Zhonghai turned up the volume.

Jia Dongxu was suddenly at a loss, so he had to stand up and said, "I understand, Master. I'll leave now."

"return!"

Jia Dongxu had already reached the door, and Yi Zhonghai called him again.

"Master..."

Jia Dongxu thought he had changed his mind, but he turned around with another smile.

"When you give gifts to others, don't you ask the old lady what she wants?"

Jia Dongxu thought: What? Does she still have to choose when others give her gifts?

But Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to do as he was told. He could only turn around and ask: "Old lady, what do you want? I'll go home and take a look."

"Zhong Hai, you are too cruel."

The deaf old lady said with a fake smile: "I don't lack anything at home. It's just that I always get stuck in my hands when I want to make clothes. I think your sewing machine is pretty good. Why don't you tell your mother to lend it to me?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes widened.

Need a sewing machine as soon as you open your mouth?

Isn't this deaf old lady opening her mouth like a lion?

How could she think of saying it!

"Why are you still standing there? If you want to eat meat, you have to pay for it? Why don't you go home and ask!"

Yi Zhonghai shouted loudly again.

Jia Dongxu didn't dare to say a word and hurriedly ran home.

When Jia Zhang saw him coming back empty-handed, her face changed drastically and she asked, "Where's the meat? Did you eat all the food without leaving any for your mother?"

"No mom..."

Jia Dongxu explained aggrievedly: "I went. My master said that the meat stew today was because the deaf old man had a birthday. He asked me to give a gift before eating meat."

"what?"

Jia Zhang couldn't believe her ears.

"What does the old lady's birthday have to do with us? Does Yi Zhonghai not want to be with us anymore?"

"But what they said makes sense. For the old lady's birthday, we didn't get anything, we just wanted other people's meat... It's really not good to spread the word. It's just..."

"Just what?"

"It's just that the deaf old lady asked for our sewing machine."

"what?!"

Jia Zhang's lungs are about to explode!

Her sewing machine was bought for her by Lao Jia when he was here.

What era was that?

How much does a sewing machine cost?

That's her baby! It is her lifeblood!

The deaf old lady was so embarrassed to open her mouth.

"I think they are sincere and don't want to give us this meal of meat! What a Yi Zhonghai, and he's trying to play tricks on me!"

Jia Dongxu was too frightened to say anything and stood obediently at the door.

"You are useless! You have gone to someone else's house and you can't even get a bite of meat to eat? He is your master, so he is equivalent to your biological father! Your son came to ask for meat from his biological father, but he was kicked out Out! Useless thing! Not following me at all!"

Jia Zhang added another sentence: "I won't follow your biological father either!"

"..."

Jia Dongxu was speechless.

Jia Zhang made her life experience very confusing in a few words.

"Okay! Stop standing there! I have to rely on myself at the critical moment!"

Jia Zhang stood up and walked out the door.

Jia Dongxu knew what she was going to do, so he kindly stopped her and reminded her: "Mom, you are empty-handed too, I'm afraid it's not good..."

"If I, Mr. Jia Zhang, want to eat meat, do I need to give a gift? You can just wait at home to eat it!"

Jia Zhang shook her arm, opened the door and went out.

Jia Dongxu looked at his majestic mother and sighed silently.

Jia Zhang was no longer polite this time. .

If he, Yi Zhonghai, is unkind, then she might as well be unjust.

When he came up, he smashed the door wildly and yelled: "Yi Zhonghai, open the door for me! Don't hide in there and keep silent! I know you are eating meat!"

"Why is there another one?!"

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that he got angry.

The deaf old lady was calm and collected.

He gave Gao Xiaocui a look and asked her to let Jia Zhang in.

As soon as the door opened, Mrs. Jia Zhang rushed into the room, pointed at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Why don't you call us meat eaters? Our Jia Dongxu is your apprentice!"

"Sister-in-law Zhang, it doesn't make sense for you to say this. It's true that Jia Dongxu is my apprentice, but I invited the old lady to eat this meal. It's her birthday, and I'm caring for the lonely elderly people."

"A lonely old man..."

Mrs. Jia Zhang snorted coldly, looked at the deaf old lady and blurted out: "Is she worthy?"

When the deaf old lady heard this, she clenched her clothes tightly.

However, she decided to endure it first and see how Yi Zhonghai would handle it.

"Why are you talking! Mrs. Jia Zhang!"

Yi Zhonghai was also anxious.

It is definitely more useful to me than the deaf old lady from the Jia family.

So it doesn't matter if you offend Mr. Jia Zhang by standing up for the deaf old lady.

"How do I talk? How do you do things? Is an old lady more important than your own apprentice? Your apprentice can support you in your old age! Can this damn old lady support you in your old age?"

Clap!

A slap fell on Jia Zhang's face.
