Siheyuan: Craftsmen of a Great Country

Seven don't come out, eight don't come back.

After staying in his hometown for four days, Jiang Chen and his party left his hometown at noon on the eighth day of the lunar month and set off for Sijiu City.

Jiang Chen's back was filled with souvenirs given by several uncles.

Although the value is not comparable to the New Year's gifts sent by Jiang Chen, it is everyone's wish.

On the bus, Luo Xue was playing with a pair of insoles in her hands: "Second aunt is so skillful with her hands. These insoles are so beautifully embroidered."

Liu Yue said: "I see that my second aunt's eyes are all red. She must have stayed up late these two days to embroider insoles."

Jiang Chen nodded: "Well, it seems so."

Luo Xue was stunned: "Second aunt worked so hard on the embroidery, so it's okay to sell it for some money. I'll give it to you, and I won't hold you back."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Zhang Huajun needs us to take care of him when he goes to Sijiu City. If he doesn't take care of him, my second aunt will not feel at ease."

When it was getting dark, the group arrived in Rongcheng.

Jiang Chen found a hotel and planned to stay one night before taking the train to Sijiucheng early tomorrow morning.

Although I don’t want to live near the train station, considering that there will be no train tomorrow morning, I have to make do with it.

Three rooms were opened. One room for myself, one for my mother, and one for Luo Xue and Liu Yue.

Although my mother felt it was a bit wasteful, she considered that Luo Xue might not be willing to live with her, so she didn't say anything.

But before Jiang Chen could fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Opening the door, Luo Xue sneaked in sneakily.

Jiang Chen said: "What are you doing?"

Luo Xue chuckled: "Xiaoyue is afraid that you will mess around at night, so let me watch you."

Jiang Chen glanced at Luo Xue: "If you don't want to leave my arms, just say so. Why do you insist on pushing it to Xiaoyue?"

Luo Xue snorted: "Okay, I just can't bear it."

"I'm used to sleeping in your arms, but when I return to Sijiu City, I can no longer do this. I don't want to do this."

As he spoke, tears were already welling up in his eyes.

Jiang Chen said: "So, we all have to work harder. It all depends on people, there will always be a way."

Luo Xue's eyes lit up: "Do you have any idea?"

Jiang Chen said: "There are ways, but they are all temporary measures. It will take some time to really solve this matter."

Luo Xue said: "But I am not equal even one day."

Jiang Chen said: "If it's not equal, you have to wait, at least until you are 18 years old."

"Ah, it will take so long?" Luo Xue couldn't accept it.

Jiang Chen said: "Isn't it just a few months? It will be quick."

"I will arrange a task for you when you go back. Once the task is completed, that will be enough."

Luo Xue said: "Okay!"

"lead."

Jiang Chen said: "If you have something to say, you can tell me."

Luo Xue mustered up her courage and said, "Tonight, I will be your woman."

Jiang Chen looked at Luo Xue and nodded slowly: "Okay!"

It was noon on New Year’s Day when we returned to Sijiu City.

The home has been unoccupied for some time and needs to be cleaned.

Luo Xue also joined the cleaning team. Although her movements were a bit clumsy, she was at least doing her job seriously.

Ever since the relationship between the two broke through, Jiang Chen discovered that this girl was extremely clingy and wanted to hang on to Jiang Chen all the time.

Even with Zhang Cui by her side, she didn't have too many scruples.

Fortunately, she knew how to restrain herself when outsiders were around, so Jiang Chen let her go.

Zhang Cui would know it sooner or later anyway, so it would be better for her to be mentally prepared in advance.

He Yuyu, who was still on vacation, said happily: "Oh, you are back?"

Jiang Chen waved his hand: "You're here just in time, come and help."

He Yuyu snorted: "Okay, treat me as a coolie when you come back."

Even though he said this, he still went into the house to help: "Did you know, Sister-in-law of the Jia family is about to give birth!"

Jiang Chen rolled his eyes: "She's the one who gave birth to her, it's none of my business."

He Yuyu said: "Shouldn't you burn incense and pray for her to have a daughter?"

Jiang Chen said: "What a good guy, he has the most poisonous heart in women."

"Huh?" Just as Jiang Chen finished speaking, he noticed a lot of eyes staring at him.

Damn it, except for him, they were all women, so these words pissed off everyone in the room.

Liu Yue didn't know how to play, and Luo Xue could at most play with him, but Zhang Cui and He Yuyu would not be polite to him.

Jiang Chen quickly used his escape technique: "There are not many briquettes left. I will buy a cart and come back."

Luo Xue immediately said: "I'll go too."

Jiang Chen said: "What are you doing? Clean the house well."

"Oh!" Luo Xue pursed her lips and began to wipe the table.

Jiang Chen got on his bicycle and went straight to the market, buying some vegetables first.

There are not many dishes here, so you can buy whatever is available, and there is not much room for choice.

I bought some groceries and went home.

Not long after I arrived home, another head popped out of the door: "Oh, Brother Chen, you are finally back. I had a hard time waiting for you."

It's You Fengxia.

Suddenly, countless eyes focused on Jiang Chen.

Zhang Cui's eyes were unkind. Not only was he so close to Luo Xue, but now there was a beautiful girl with a mouth filled with resentment.

Originally, she felt sorry for Liu Yue for giving her the wrong ring, but now Zhang Cui feels even more indebted.

Luo Xue's eyes were full of scrutiny.

Only Liu Yue looked at You Fengxia with great interest. Well, this girl is not bad, and the leader's vision is indeed good.

However, he didn't do anything wrong, and Jiang Chen felt not guilty at all: "Didn't I say that I won't be here before the tenth day of the lunar month?"

You Fengxia said: "It's November today."

Jiang Chen said: "It's just a day late, why are you anxious."

You Fengxia rolled her eyes: "According to the quantity you want, the things are ready and will be delivered to you after dark."

Can she not be in a hurry? It's a hundred dollars, several hundred yuan.

If Jiang Chen let her go, she didn't know how much effort it would take to resell the items, and she might even have to deal with them at a low price and suffer a loss.

She is a strong person, and she can accept losing some money, but she cannot accept the failure of business due to misjudgment.

Jiang Chen nodded: "Okay, pay with one hand and deliver the goods with the other."

You Fengxia nodded: "Okay, you guys get busy first, I'll leave first."

Jiang Chen said: "I'll give it to you."

"Huh?" You Fengxia was a little surprised.

Jiang Chen kept sending You Fengxia outside the courtyard.

You Fengxia said: "Tell me, what else do you want?"

Jiang Chen said: "Get me another watch ticket."

You Fengxia said: "That's it? Is there anything I can't say in public? I have to come here to say it."

Jiang Chen chuckled: "Surprise, you know the surprise, but if you know it, it's not a surprise."

You Fengxia said: "Didn't I get one for you before? Why do you still want it?"

Jiang Chen raised his wrist: "I will use that one myself, and I will give this one to my wife in exchange."

You Fengxia snorted: "Liar. You don't have this watch in China, and you can't exchange it if you have a ticket."

"So, you still need a watch ticket, I understand, you have two things to do."

"But those two girls are both good, and I wouldn't be willing to let either of them go."

Jiang Chen was seen through and said angrily: "Don't ask about adults' matters. Just tell me if you can do it."

You Fengxia nodded: "Don't worry, I'll take care of things. I'll deliver them to you tonight."

Jiang Chen said: "Why don't you go and change it? Just send me the watch directly."

You Fengxia said: "Okay, the guest is the master, and the master has the final say in everything."

Jiang Chen smiled and said: "Go quickly then, remember to choose something good-looking!"
