Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Jia Dongxu returned home, holding on to the wall, and collapsed directly into a chair.

"Dongxu, what's wrong with you? Do you want to see a doctor?"

Seeing Jia Dongxu's appearance, Qin Huairu was startled and hurried forward to wipe the dense beads of sweat on his head.

"Shh...keep your voice down, don't wake up mom and Banggeng."

It's probably a little after ten o'clock now, and Jia Zhang and Bang Geng have already gone to bed.

"Dongxu..."

Qin Huairu's eyes were red and she felt a little at a loss standing next to Jia Dongxu.

"Don't worry, I'm fine. I just suddenly feel a little uncomfortable in my stomach. Pour me a glass of water and I'll be fine after a while."

Jia Dongxu continued to make up lies. He didn't dare to tell the truth, otherwise if it leaked out, he would definitely go to jail again.

"Dongxu, the water is hot, be careful."

Qin Huairu handed the teacup to Jia Dongxu with concern.

"Ah."

Jia Dongxu took the teacup, took a sip, and found it was too hot, so he just put it on the table next to him.

"call...."

After just a few minutes, Jia Dongxu let out a long breath and calmed himself down.

"Dongxu, what's going on?"

"Wife, I'm fine. I'm probably too tired recently."

"Then let's just rest at home for two days."

Qin Huairu also knew that Jia Dongxu and his good brother were doing business on the black market. Jia Dongxu told her all this.

Jia Dongxu said with a double meaning: "Yes, it's time to have a good rest."

"Dongxu..."

Qin Huairu stopped talking.

"what happened?"

"Dongxu, let's save money in the future. It hurts me to see you like this."

As Qin Huairu spoke, tears began to fall.

"Wife, why are you still crying? I earn money for our family, for you and the children. I will take care of everything."

Jia Dongxu hugged Qin Huairu and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

"But I'm afraid."

Qin Huairu was really scared by Jia Dongxu's appearance just now. If anything happened to Jia Dongxu, how would this family survive?

"Silly, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid that I will die..."

Before Jia Dongxu could finish his words, Qin Huairu covered his mouth.

"Okay, okay, stop crying. Crying too much is not good for the child."

"Dongxu, promise me that you will take care of yourself. You are the pillar of our family. Banggeng, Xiaodang, and our belly all depend on you."

"I understand. I did have a stomachache just now, but it's gone now."

"That's good."

"Huai Ru, this is three hundred yuan, keep it."

"Dongxu, I..."

This was the first time Jia Dongxu gave her money, and the first time he gave her so much money. Before, it was only a few dollars or a few cents for buying groceries.

Qin Huairu really didn't expect that Jia Dongxu would give her 300 yuan at one time. You know, this was impossible in the past. Could it be that something really happened?

"Take it, don't think too much. You know I've always been extravagant with my money. Now I'm giving it to you for safekeeping. Also," Jia Dongxu leaned close to Qin Huairu's ear and whispered, "Put this money away and don't let mom find out."

"Uh-huh."

Qin Huairu nodded and kissed Jia Dongxu lightly on the face. Having a husband like this made her life worthwhile.

"It's getting late, take a rest."

Now Qin Huairu has been pregnant for several months. Jia Dongxu dares not do anything he wants to do and can only satisfy his urge to touch her.

The next day, Jia Dongxu got up early. He was going to find Brother Hao to report the news he heard from Sha Zhu.

Hao Ren and his family live in an independent courtyard, not a large one. It is not a quadrangle courtyard, but a small courtyard with three or four rooms.

"Brother Jia, you are disturbing my sweet dreams."

Li Jianshe's face was full of impatience. There was still more than an hour before work and he was having a sweet dream in bed, but he was woken up by Jia Dongxu.

"Jianshe, you're still in the mood to sleep. Something terrible is going to happen."

Jia Dongxu was so anxious that he wanted to slap Li Jianshe to wake him up.

"Brother Jia, I'm sorry, you said that so early in the morning."

Of course Li Jianshe was dissatisfied. He had to wake people up so early in the morning. Without saying anything, he directly said, "Something bad has happened. Aren't you cursing me?"

"Jianshe, I'm not in the mood to talk nonsense with you. Is Brother Hao up yet?"

"What do you think? Don't you know what time it is?"

Li Jianshe glared at Jia Dongxu unhappily.

"Get out of here. I won't talk to you, Brother Hao, Brother Hao."

Jia Dongxu pushed Li Jianshe away and knocked on Hao Ren's door, shouting as he knocked.

"Jia Dongxu, you better give me a perfect explanation, otherwise, I will let you know how stupid it is to wake me up."

"Oh my, my brother Hao, a disaster is imminent, and you still have the mood to sleep."

At this time, Chen Youyi was also woken up. The yard was not big and the room was not soundproofed. Chen Youyi was so angry that he kicked Jia Dongxu.

"Friendship, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing? Jia Dongxu, do you want to be beaten? Why are you howling so early in the morning? Do you have any sense of public morality?"

"Friendship, stop making trouble, I'm reporting important information to Brother Hao."

Jia Dongxu pulled Chen Youyi aside again, entered the room and sat next to Hao Ren. Then he told him the news he heard from Sha Zhu last night.

"Brother Hao, what should we do?"

"Yes, Brother Hao."

Li Jianshe and Chen Youyi were not sleepy at the moment. Just like Jia Dongxu said, if they were caught, it would be a disaster.

"Xiao Jia, is your information reliable?"

"Brother Hao, it's absolutely reliable. My friend and I live in the same courtyard. He is the head chef of the steel mill. His cooking skills are well-liked by the factory leaders. The information he got must be correct."

Hao Ren sat on the bed, silent. He was wondering whether he should do the job tonight.

"Brother Hao, let's be honest during this period."

"Yes, yes, let's wait until the storm has died down before doing it."

Li Jianshe and Chen Youyi were quite frightened. They worked in the steel rolling mill and naturally knew Sha Zhu. Just as Jia Dongxu said, his skills were really good and he was often kept by the leaders for banquets. He came into contact with people above the level of director and naturally had the opportunity to get inside information.

"Alas, I had thought that before I died, I would help you make more money. I wouldn't say I would make you rich, but at least you wouldn't have to worry about money for a long time in the future. I really didn't expect that the steel mill would move so quickly."

Hao Ren was unwilling to accept this. In his opinion, what they were doing now was still just a small fight, just for training and building up courage.

He has always wanted to do something big, something big enough to make him famous and make his life on earth worthwhile.

It is better to live a life of glory than to die in obscurity.

However, it seems that the situation is not very good now. It is not about the reaction of the steel rolling mill, but the psychological quality of Jia Dongxu, Li Jianshe and Chen Youyi. They became frightened birds after just hearing the news. They are destined to accomplish nothing great.
