Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Dongxu, aren't you going to work today?" Zhang Dabao felt that his nephew seemed to have something to do, so he asked.

"Seventh Uncle, I'm sick." When Jia Dongxu saw Zhang Dabao, he ran over and it seemed like tears could fall at any time.

"Are you sick? I can't tell. Let's go to the backyard and talk." Zhang Dabao pushed his bicycle and went to the backyard with Jia Dongxu.

"What's the matter? I thought you were fine," Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"I was not feeling well there, so I went to the hospital. The doctor said it was okay and told me to come home and recuperate. But I felt like he was wrong. I just felt like I was sick," said Jia Dongxu.

"Fuck, what's going on? Don't doctors know more than you? You go to see a doctor, but you don't believe the doctor after the visit. You are sick, but it's just that your brain is sick. Do you know how to treat a disease? You haven't even been to school for a few years. You have difficulty reading, and you still want to treat a disease." Zhang Dabao almost laughed when he heard what Jia Dongxu said. What kind of person is this.

"Then how long should I raise it?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"You'll never get better no matter how long you take care of yourself. You have to be obedient. The doctor must have told you not to smoke, drink or stay up late. Did you listen? Throw away the cigarette," Zhang Dabao said loudly to Jia Dongxu.

"Seventh Uncle, how do you know the doctor said that?" After throwing away his cigarette, Jia Dongxu looked at Zhang Dabao and asked.

"This is common sense. If you have attended junior high school, you wouldn't be so ignorant," Zhang Dabao retorted to Jia Dongxu.

"You haven't even gone to junior high school, how do you know more than me?" Jia Dongxu looked unconvinced.

"Dongxu, come and read. Look what this is?" Zhang Dabao said, pointing to a book in the cabinet.

"I feel sleepy when I read and can't continue. Does this mean I'm fine?" Jia Dongxu was happy again.

"Of course it's okay, you have to listen to the doctor. Is this what you want the money for?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Yes, he prescribed three prescriptions for me, but I didn't take them. Why did I spend the money? I'll just take care of it." Jia Dongxu was happy again.

"Whose personality did you take after? Jia Youfu is not like that, and neither is your mother, and neither is your master." Zhang Dabao also laughed.

"I just do what I want. It's okay. I will go to work tomorrow. If I don't go every day, the director will be unhappy and my master will be unhappy too," said Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, I found out that you have one thing in common with your mother, that is, you have a good attitude. We can't learn this." Zhang Dabao was really amused by him.

"Really? My mother put away the canned food you gave me last time and hasn't eaten it yet. I'm not feeling well, so I wonder if my mother could open one so I can have some to replenish my energy." After saying this, Jia Dongxu went home.

Zhang Dabao discovered that the brain circuits of Zhang Cuihua and her son were really different from those of normal people. You have no idea how magical their thoughts are. He opened the door and let in some fresh air. Zhang Dabao heard Zhang Cuihua's scolding again, and Jia Dongxu returned to his room.

"Seventh Uncle, why don't you say anything to my mom? I'm sick and can't even eat canned food. Really?" Jia Dongxu said angrily as he sat there.

If it weren't for his old face, Zhang Dabao would really think that Jia Dongxu was less than ten years old. Is this what a child over three hundred months old would say?

"Dongxu, when you are sick in Northeast China, you have to eat canned yellow peaches. I heard that colds and the like can be cured by eating them," Zhang Dabao said to him.

"Really? It's quite expensive, right?" Jia Dongxu stood up, thought about it and sat down again.

"Is it expensive? I happen to have some. Go call your mother and we can have one together," Zhang Dabao said to Jia Dongxu.

"Do you really have it?" Jia Dongxu stood up again.

"Of course, you wait." Zhang Dabao went to the inner room, took out a can of yellow peaches from the space, and tore off the label when he came out.

"Dongxu, what is this?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu to take a look. Without saying anything, Jia Dongxu went straight back home and pulled Zhang Cuihua over, almost dropping Xiaodang in Zhang Cuihua's arms to the ground.

"Da Biao, what are you eating? Dongxu is acting mysterious," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Isn't Dongxu feeling unwell? I happen to have some canned yellow peaches, let the child eat them to replenish his body," said Zhang Dabao.

"I ate canned yellow peaches when I was a child. My grandfather gave them to me as a favor to someone else. He opened them and let my grandmother and I eat them. Even Dasong didn't eat them as well. They were so delicious," said Zhang Cuihua with an intoxicated look on her face.

"Eat it again," Zhang Dabiao opened the can and divided it into two bowls for the two of them, leaving a small piece for Xiaodang, and added some sugar water. "You guys eat it, I don't like it very much," Zhang Dabiao said. I have so many fresh fruits in my space, and I don't eat them. Why should I eat this? I won't eat it, Zhang Dabiao thought to himself.

"Eat quickly. Your seventh uncle is reluctant to eat such good things. When he gets old, you must remember his kindness," Zhang Cuihua said to her son.

"I will take care of my seventh uncle in his old age," Jia Dongxu responded immediately.

"No, just be good to your mother. Dongxu, you are five years older than me, and we can't say who will send whom off," Zhang Dabao said, rejecting Jia Dongxu's proposal.

"It's so delicious, Mom. How can there be something so delicious?" Jia Dongxu looked intoxicated after finishing the meal.

"I just told you it's delicious, but you didn't believe me. Now you believe it, right? I saw it at the supply and marketing cooperative, and it's 1.5 yuan each, and you need a ticket. How can it not be delicious?" Zhang Cuihua said to her son.

"It's too expensive. When I have money, I'll buy ten and we'll eat them one by one and have enough." Jia Dongxu made up his mind again.

"Then I'll be waiting eagerly. I don't know if I'll be able to see you promoted to level two in my lifetime." Zhang Cuihua poured a bucket of cold water on her son.

"Of course I can. I have to make progress. I feel I have made great progress now. When I advanced in March, I felt that I had great hope," Jia Dongxu said confidently.

"Dongxu, your mother is here too. As long as you reach level two, I will give you two cans of food, one with meat and one with yellow peach, or hawthorn is also fine," said Zhang Dabao.

"Mom, is canned hawthorn delicious?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"I haven't eaten it, so how would I know?" Zhang Cuihua said to her son unhappily.

"It's delicious. Just think about it, it's sour and sweet, how can it not be delicious? Try your best." Zhang Dabao fed Xiaodang the sugar water. Xiaodang did not finish the peach, so Zhang Cuihua ate it for her granddaughter.

After the Jia mother and son finished eating the canned food, they returned to their home. Zhang Dabao took out the book and continued reading.

It was evening again. After finishing his meal, Banggeng ran to Zhang Dabao's room and said, "Seventh Uncle, I want to eat canned food too. My grandma didn't save any for me." It turned out that Zhang Cuihua had let slip that she and Jia Dongxu had eaten canned food in the afternoon. Banggeng heard it. He did not cry at home, but went directly to the backyard and found the person who had the canned food.

"Okay, but we don't have yellow peaches anymore, only hawthorn ones. I'll go get them, and you go call your aunt, your great-aunt, and your new uncle over," said Zhang Dabao, touching Banggeng's head.

Banggeng jumped out and came back with Huang Xinsheng. Zhang Dabao opened the can of hawthorn and distributed it to everyone. Banggeng got to eat the can as he wished.

"Grandma, there is a can of hawthorn at my seventh uncle's house. We ate it. It is sour and sweet and delicious. You can buy one tomorrow," Banggeng said to Zhang Cuihua when he returned home.

"The hawthorn ones have been eaten. I told you that they taste sour and sweet, but your father didn't believe me. When your father gets promoted, your seventh uncle will give him two. Then we will have canned food," Zhang Cuihua said to her grandson.

"My dad is getting promoted. Can I wait until then?" Bang Geng said anxiously.

"Jia Geng, what do you mean? You don't believe your father." Jia Dongxu got angry when he heard Bang Geng's words.

"I believe it, but I'm not sure about the time. Maybe I have to wait until I grow up," Banggeng said faintly. He was afraid that Jia Dongxu would beat him if he said he didn't believe it.
