Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

When Sha Zhu called out "Brother Jia", Jia Zhang was so scared that she almost threw Xiaodang out of her arms.

"Silly Zhu, you bad guy, what are you yelling about?"

Jia Zhang was furious. Jia Dongxu was doing important things at home. What would happen if he was frightened?

After waiting for a while, Jia Zhang was relieved to see that her door was not open, thinking that Dongxu probably did not hear it.

"Silly Zhu, have you seen Dongxu?"

Hearing Sha Zhu's shout, Yi Zhonghai came out wearing a cotton coat. He almost forgot that he had an apprentice.

"Uncle, Aunt Jia said so."

Regardless of whether Yi Zhonghai has the title of manager or not, he will always be the boss in Sha Zhu's heart and the title will never change.

"Sister-in-law, is Dongxu back?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little excited. Jia Dongxu was the person he had carefully trained to take care of his elderly parents, but something unexpected happened during his tenure and he was in prison for a year.

"Humph!"

Jia Zhang snorted coldly and didn't want to pay any attention to Yi Zhonghai. Ever since Jia Dongxu went in, Jia Zhang rarely paid attention to the people in the courtyard, especially Yi Zhonghai. In her heart, she always believed that Yi Zhonghai was watching someone die without helping.

"I gonna go see."

Seeing that Jia Zhang ignored him, Yi Zhonghai turned around and was about to go to Jia's house.

"Old man, I don't understand. Don't you understand either?"

Jia Zhang didn't want Yi Zhonghai to disturb her son's good deeds.

Yi Zhonghai understood and his face twitched.

Sha Zhu asked in confusion: "Uncle, what does Aunt Jia mean?"

"Ahem, Silly Zhu, you're not married yet, you don't understand."

Yi Zhonghai was a little embarrassed.

At this time, Tan Guihua also came out and asked excitedly: "Old Yi, is Dongxu back?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back."

For Tan Guihua, Jia Dongxu is like her own child. He has often eaten at her home since he was young, so of course there is a certain affection between them.

"Why are you so excited? You don't have a son."

When it comes to arguing with people, Jia Zhang is also a top expert, especially when it comes to arguing with Yi Zhonghai and his wife, but now she only dares to arguing with Yi Zhonghai and his wife. Other people in the courtyard will not indulge her now.

Heartbroken.

Tan Guihua covered her mouth and went back to the house.

Yi Zhonghai was breathing heavily due to anger.

"Aunt Jia, is Brother Dongxu really back?"

"Yes, Jia Zhang, is it true?"

"Where's Dongxu? Why doesn't he come back to meet everyone?"

"Erlu, what do you know as a bachelor?"

"What are you talking about? What's wrong with me being single? What does this have to do with whether Jia Dongxu comes back?"

"Hahaha"

"Erlu, you'll know when you get married."

"........."

"What's going on? What are you all yelling about? I heard it in the backyard."

Liu Haizhong, with his hands behind his back, a fat belly and his head held high, walked from the backyard to the middle yard.

Someone started talking: "Master Liu, it's Jia Dongxu who came back early."

"Who?"

After not seeing each other for a year, Liu Haizhong had already forgotten about the Siheyuan and Jia Dongxu.

"Jia Dongxu, Jia Dongxu from the old Jia family."

"Where are they? Why are they back so soon?"

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong looked around. Everyone else in the compound was there, except Jia Dongxu and his wife.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, where is Jia Dongxu? Ask him to come out and tell everyone if he escaped from prison."

Well, Liu Haizhong's just one sentence made Jia Zhang angry.

"Liu Haizhong, you bad guy, your son just escaped from prison."

"No wonder your son would rather marry into your family than live with you, ugh."

"You are just pretending all the time. You can't even read a single word. You still want to be an official? Dream on."

Jia Zhang started to scold Liu Haizhong. Fortunately, she was holding a child in her arms, otherwise she would definitely scratch Liu Haizhong's greasy face.

"Jia Zhang, you dare to scold the leader?"

"Liu Haizhong, you are a shitty leader."

"You, you, I'm the second uncle of the courtyard, not the leader, right?"

"Liu Haizhong, do you still have any shame? There is no such thing as a manager in our compound, but you still flatter yourself and act like the second uncle all day long. Ugh."

"You, Jia Zhangshi, I prefer men not to fight with women. Go and call Jia Dongxu out, and we will ask him about this. Don't let this cause any trouble for our compound."

"Liu Haizhong, you slandered my son, do you want to go to jail? Don't you know that you will go to jail if you slander someone?"

"Then go and sue me, and ask the police to investigate what happened to your son."

No one expected that Liu Haizhong was so tough.

"Old Liu, look at yourself. Dongxu is back. This is a good thing. Don't talk nonsense."

Yi Zhonghai couldn't stand it anymore. He really couldn't let the two of them get into a fight, otherwise one of them would really call the police.

Ugh!

When I thought of calling the police, I thought of Liu Guozheng.

When I think of Liu Guozheng, my heart is filled with hatred.

If it weren't for Liu Guozheng, Yi Zhonghai would still be a respected uncle. Unlike now, except for Sha Zhu, no one calls him uncle anymore, and no one asks him to mediate when there is a problem.

What's even more hateful is that he actually extorted six thousand yuan from me. That's six thousand yuan. I saved that much money by living frugally for more than ten years, and it all went to that money-loser He Yushui.

Hate it!

Now I kind of miss the old days.

But there is no way now. I have to wait a little longer until I pass the eighth-level worker exam.

When the time comes, I, Yi Zhonghai, must get back what I have lost.

"Old Yi, each of us must be vigilant and fight against criminals. Our compound is not a place for filth and evil."

No one in the courtyard had expected that Liu Haizhong could come up with some little words. It seemed that his study in the street office this year was very effective.

Yi Zhonghai said patiently, "Old Liu, you are going too far. Don't be like Liu Guozheng, who exaggerates over trivial matters. This is not good."

"Lao Yi, can you take responsibility if something goes wrong?"

Liu Haizhong was also a little unhappy. This Old Yi was really something. He always went against him.

"Old Liu, what you said is true. We watched Dongxu grow up, and we all know what kind of person he is."

Now that Jia Dongxu is back, it is time to get closer to him. Yi Zhonghai will certainly not let Liu Haizhong do whatever he wants.

"Okay, Lao Yi, I won't ask any more questions. We have all witnessed it. If anything goes wrong, it is Yi Zhonghai's responsibility."

After saying this, Liu Haizhong turned around and went back to the backyard.

"This Old Liu."

"Okay, okay, the weather is quite cold, everyone should go home. If you want to meet up with Dongxu, there will be plenty of time later, so there is no need to rush."

What Yi Zhonghai said made sense, so those people who just wanted to watch the fun went home.

"Sister-in-law, I'll pay for some meat tomorrow, and we'll have a get-together to welcome Dongxu."

"Okay, I agree to this."

As long as she doesn't have to spend any money and as long as she has food to eat, Jia Zhang is a very easy person to talk to.

"Uncle, Aunt Jia, I will be the chef when the time comes."

Sha Zhu wiped his hands, smiled, and took over the cooking job on the spot.

"Well, in Nanluoguxiang, no one can cook as well as you, Shazhu. You are the only one who can be the chef."

"Uncle, thank you for your praise."

Sha Zhu was even happier. It was a happy thing to be recognized by someone he respected.

Yi Zhonghai patted Sha Zhu's shoulder, nodded with satisfaction, and went back to the house.
