Siheyuan: Yan Jiekuang's carefree life

The third aunt asked, "Old Yan, what are you daydreaming about?!"

Yan Bugui came back to his senses and said, "Our Jie Kuang is still capable. He brought back a lot of flour this time."

"You just realized how capable Jie Kuang is?!" After saying that, the third aunt glared at Yan Bugui with disdain and said, "Our family is doing better now, but it can't be too obvious. But it's still okay to have a good meal during the New Year." Then she asked, "Are you not going to write the couplets this year?!"

Yan Bugui came back to his senses and said hurriedly, "Write! Why can't I not write?! I have everything ready."

At the same time, Jia family.

Jia Zhang was lying on the kang, looking at Qin Huairu who was busy with work, and said, "Huairu, when will Banggeng come back? Can he be at home for the New Year?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "I will be back on the fourth day of the New Year."

"The fourth day of the Lunar New Year?!" Jia Zhang muttered, and asked, "Can we find someone to find a way to get Banggeng back early?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "Mom, don't you know what's going on in our family?! If I had a way, I would have gotten Banggen out long ago. He wouldn't have suffered in there."

"That's true!" Jia Zhang agreed, and then asked, "When will the steel mill be closed?!"

Qin Huairu replied, "It's only these two days." Then she looked at Jia Dongxu and asked worriedly, "Dongxu, you're going to work at the steel mill tomorrow. Will your leg be okay?!"

Jia Zhang rolled her eyes at Qin Huairu and said, "Isn't it because you are useless?! Otherwise, my son wouldn't have to suffer so much."

Although Qin Huairu had expected Jia Zhang to say this, she still felt a little sad when she heard what Jia Zhang said. How could she have been so blind and listened to Yi Zhonghai's suggestion to marry Jia Dongxu? ! But now the matter is done, and everything she said is false.

Jia Dongxu replied: "It should be no problem."

Jia Zhang warned: "Dongxu, your legs are not fully recovered yet, so don't work too hard at the factory. You should rest when you need to, otherwise you will regret it later if you become disabled."

Jia Dongxu replied, "Mom! Don't worry! I know what to do." Then he looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Huairu, the New Year is coming soon. So many things have happened this year, and our family is not rich. Don't go back to your parents' home this year."

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Dongxu, then looked at Jia Zhangshi, and compromised: "Okay! Then I won't go back during the New Year. I'll have someone take a message back home later."

Jia Zhang said, "Dongxu, Banggeng won't be back until the fourth day of the Lunar New Year, so let's put our family reunion dinner on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year! Don't buy too many dishes. Just braised pork will be enough."

Jia Dongxu was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do we still have meat tickets?!"

Qin Huairu replied: "The meat coupons for the first quarter have just been issued and have not been used yet."

Jia Dongxu said: "On the third day of the New Year, go buy all the meat. One pound will be used for braised pork, and the remaining half pound will be used for making dumplings."

Jia Zhang said hastily, "I want to eat white flour dumplings."

Qin Huairu said: "Mom, we are running out of cornmeal at home, where can we get Fuqiang flour?!"

Jia Zhang said: "No, you won't buy it?!"

"Okay!" Before Qin Huairu could speak, Jia Dongxu interrupted their conversation and said, "Mom, you know the situation at home. Let's talk about it after we get through this period."

"Uncle, wait a minute!" At around nine o'clock in the evening, when Yan Bugui was about to lock the gate of the courtyard, He Yuzhu came back with Liu Lan.

Yan Bugui asked, "Shazhu, why did you two come back so late?!"

He Yuzhu replied, "Don't mention it! I could have returned a long time ago, but I didn't expect another wave of customers to come to the factory. I have no choice but to start over." He Yuzhu handed a paper bag to Yan Bugui and said, "Uncle, this bag of fried peanuts is yours. Don't think it's too little!"

Yan Bugui replied: "Shazhu, I am very satisfied that you can think of me, your uncle. I will accept it with pleasure!"

He Yuzhu said, "Third Uncle, I am still a little uncomfortable with you not being a door god now."

"You idiot!" Yan Bugui said as if he was going to hit He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu grabbed Liu Lan's hand and said, "Wife! Let's run!"

After He Yuzhu and his wife left, Yan Bugui shook his head with a wry smile, closed the door and locked it.

There was no conversation that night. The next morning, Yan Bugui had just opened the courtyard gate when Jia Dongxu walked out. Yan Bugui and Jia Dongxu looked at each other. Jia Dongxu snorted and walked out of the courtyard gate. Yan Bugui raised his wrist, checked the time on his watch and muttered, "Usually, Qin Huairu goes out at this time, why is it Jia Dongxu's turn today?! Is he starting work now?!" Yan Bugui sighed and went back to the main room.

"Hey?! Jia Dongxu, you are such a rare guest!" A little after 5:30 in the morning, Jia Dongxu had just walked into the rest room for stevedores. The teasing voices of the workers nearby rang in Jia Dongxu's ears. Jia Dongxu glanced at the workers sitting inside smoking and chatting, flattered his face, greeted everyone, and then found a place to sit down. Not long after, squad leader Wu came in with a task.

The workers who were chatting shut up when they saw Wu the squad leader coming. Wu the squad leader glanced at everyone present and said, "Today we have two tasks. In the morning, we will load all the items in the No. 3 finished product warehouse. In the afternoon, a batch of raw materials will arrive. We will be responsible for unloading the truck. It's still the same old rule. When the work is finished, you can leave." After that, Wu the squad leader led the people out of the lounge.

At first, Jia Dongxu thought it was nothing to move some things, but when he arrived at the finished product warehouse No. 3 and saw the baskets full of parts, Jia Dongxu's face changed instantly. Then Jia Dongxu saw the workers next to him moving a basket directly outside as if nothing had happened.

Jia Dongxu swallowed his saliva, followed the team to the rattan basket, gritted his teeth, picked up the rattan basket and followed his colleagues out of the warehouse. At the beginning, Jia Dongxu could still hold on after moving two baskets. Later, Jia Dongxu couldn't do it anymore. Not only did his arms lose strength, but his feet also began to wobble.

When squad leader Wu saw Jia Dongxu's miserable state, he was immediately furious. Now is a new society, and workers are not allowed to work. Squad leader Wu suddenly felt crazy. After about five or six minutes, Jia Dongxu collapsed on the ground. Seeing this, squad leader Wu walked over quickly and asked, "Jia Dongxu! What are you doing?!"

Jia Dongxu replied weakly: "Captain Wu, I can't do it anymore! Can you let me take a break?!"

"Jia Dongxu! Others can do it, why can't you?! Hurry up and stop being lazy!" Squad Leader Wu kept urging Jia Dongxu to get up and work. Jia Dongxu said with a dead pig fearless of boiling water: "Squad Leader Wu, I really can't do it anymore!"

The other workers also stopped when they saw Jia Dongxu's expression. Team Leader Wu was stunned for a moment, then quickly turned around and said, "Everyone take a break for ten minutes. We will continue working in ten minutes." After that, Team Leader Wu glared at Jia Dongxu and left the warehouse.

"Dispatcher Zhang, our class doesn't want Jia Dongxu. You should assign him to another group!" Squad Leader Wu found Dispatcher Zhang and spoke directly.

Dispatcher Zhang was stunned and asked, "What's going on?!"

Squad Leader Wu did not hide anything and told Dispatcher Zhang what had happened. Dispatcher Zhang thought for a few minutes and said, "Just bear with it for now. I'll discuss this with the Section Chief later."
