Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

"what?"

Jia Zhang snorted and sniffed hard: "Roast duck? Dongxu, go and see if your master is back."

Upon smelling the fragrance, Jia Zhang immediately became energetic.

"Sister-in-law, Dongxu, come over here, the food is ready."

Yi Zhonghai's voice came in.

"Oh, there's roast duck to eat."

Banggeng is very happy now. Not only did he learn a skill, but he also got to eat roast duck, which is really great.

"Huai Ru, what are you still standing there for? Pick up Xiao Dang and go eat."

Qin Huairu had no time to think about it now. She should just learn the trick. It would be fine as long as she didn't use it.

The five members of the Jia family went to Yi Zhonghai's house together.

Sure enough, Jia Zhang’s nose was not wrong. There was indeed roast duck on the table, and it was sliced ​​well.

Sha Zhu looked at the duck bones and asked, "Uncle, how about making some duck bones soup?"

"Silly Zhu, stop busying yourself. It's enough to eat. Just ask my sister-in-law to take the duck bones home later."

"Okay, I'll listen to your uncle."

"Silly Zhu, please sit down. You must have been busy for such a long time."

"Uncle, it's not right to be so polite."

"Okay, okay, I was wrong. I'll drink a glass as punishment."

Yi Zhonghai was very happy. It had been a long time since it was so lively. Only when there were many people around could it feel like home.

"Baji, Baji"

Following the sound, I saw that Jia Zhang and Bang Geng had already started building.

Jia Dongxu was very embarrassed, and he wished there was a crack in the ground for him to crawl into. How many years had his mother and son not eaten? Why did they learn to be like pigs?

Shazhu was also completely shocked. He knew that these were two people, but if he didn't know, he would have thought they were two pigs.

Tan Guihua was no longer in the mood to sit here, so she went back to the inner room with a frown.

"Master, look, this..."

"Oh, never mind, let's just leave it at that. Let's just make do with what we have."

Yi Zhonghai also had no appetite. Ni Niang, just eat it if you say so. You don’t even need chopsticks, just eat it with your hands. How do you think others can eat it?

"Uncle, let's drink."

Fortunately, there was a plate of peanuts.

When Jia Zhang saw that this was the return, she reached out and grabbed two handfuls.

Now, there is no more snacks to go with the wine.

"Master, I'm sorry."

Jia Dongxu stopped eating and took Qin Huairu home.

"Dongxu, Huairu, are you stupid? Why did you go back?"

Jia Zhang stuffed food into her mouth while she was talking, and Bang Geng followed suit.

"Uncle, I'm going back first."

Qin Huairu left and Shazhu was no longer in the mood to eat.

"Ugh!"

Yi Zhonghai took a puff of a cigarette, and what he exhaled was not smoke, but sorrow.

A good dinner party was ruined by Jia Zhang.

After eating and drinking, Jia Zhang did not forget to take the duck carcass away and went home with Bang Geng.

"Dongxu, I said..."

Jia Zhang stopped talking halfway and didn't dare to say anything. As soon as she entered, she saw Jia Dongxu's face was terribly gloomy. Qin Huairu turned on the coal fire and started to cook corn porridge. She didn't eat tonight because she had heartburn and couldn't sleep.

"How long has it been since you last ate?"

"Look at yourself, do you still look like a human being?"

"And look at what Bang Geng has learned from you?"

Jia Dongxu was so angry that the dinner party ended in a bad mood.

"Okay, Jia Dongxu, you've grown wings, and you dare to say that about your mother?"

"Old Jia, you..."

Jia Zhang was about to start the summoning mode.

"Zhang Cuihua, if you dare to howl, I will send you to the countryside tomorrow."

Jia Zhang was dumbfounded. She had never seen Jia Dongxu like this before. She didn't even call him mom.

"Dongxu, I..."

Jia Zhang knew she was in the wrong, so she shrugged her head and stopped talking.

Banggeng was a very smart guy. When he saw that something was not right, he went straight into the inner room.

"Mom, I hope this is the last time, otherwise don't blame your son for being ruthless."

"Dongxu, Mom knows."

What else can Jia Zhang say? What else can she dare to say?

"Dongxu, let's eat."

Qin Huairu brought up the corn porridge and a plate of pickles.

“Hurulu…”

Jia Dongxu was very hungry, so he picked up the bowl and started eating with some pickled vegetables.

The meal ended abruptly.

The next day

Jia Dongxu got up early again. He really hated his biological clock now. Damn, he woke up on time and wanted to move around as soon as he woke up.

"Dongxu, I believe you can do it."

With Qin Huairu's encouragement, Jia Dongxu went out.

Today he plans to go to the station to see if he can find a job carrying heavy bags to earn some money for the New Year.

"Xiao Jia?"

"Fourth brother?"

Met an acquaintance.

"Fourth brother, when did you come out?"

When he saw his cellmate, Jia Dongxu actually felt an inexplicable sense of familiarity.

"Haha, I'm four or five days later than you, Xiao Jia."

Hou Si, the man who taught him lock picking skills in the labor camp, was the fourth child in the family. He treated Jia Dongxu well in the labor camp, so Jia Dongxu called him "fourth brother".

Jia Dongxu tried to ask: "Fourth brother, where are you making money now?"

Hou Si sighed, "What kind of fortune can we make, Xiao Jia? You know, people like us can't find jobs after we get out. No one will hire us even if we have to carry heavy bags."

Jia Dongxu was indignant: "Then should we die?"

"What's the matter with death? Come on, I'm treating you today."

"Fourth brother, this is not possible. How can I let you treat me? I should treat you, but..."

Jia Dongxu was in trouble because he had no money!

Hou Si looked a little unhappy: "Xiao Jia, it's too formal, can you just tell me whether our relationship is strong or not?"

"Iron, Fourth Brother, of course our relationship is iron."

"Iron is fine. Let's go. Today is Donglaishun."

Jia Dongxu was no longer polite, he was really greedy.
