Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Your mother gets 10 yuan from the old lady every month." Jia Zhang said, pointing at Jia Dongxu.

"Alright, alright, we don't need your few dollars. If you really need money, you can go help Zhuzi in the kitchen. The less money you earn, the better."

Seeing Jia Dongxu was about to go out with his clothes.

"Where are you going?" Jia Zhang saw that Jia Dongxu was going out again. I could still smell the stench, so I hurried to take a bath again and get a haircut.

"You've only been dealing with it for a short time, and now you want to deal with it again." Jia Zhang was a little unhappy that Yan Bugui's family continued to not help her, and she muttered to herself.

"Aunt Jia, don't worry, the old lady back there won't pay any attention to them." Sha Zhu said as he came out of the kitchen.

Jia Zhang looked at Sha Zhu in confusion, "What do you mean? Zhuzi."

Sha Zhu said with a smile, "Is the old lady used to eating Yan Bugui's food? There is not even a bit of oil or water in it."

"Oh, that's true, that's true. Zhuzi, you have to cook well in the future. Your aunt Jia depends on this little money to make a living." Jia Zhang looked at the figure who was continuing to walk out with dissatisfaction.

After hearing this, Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhang in confusion, "What's wrong? Aunt Jia, Dongxu earns a lot of money, how could he be short of money for you to spend?"

Jia Zhang looked upstairs and whispered, "Your brother Dongxu asked his wife to manage the accounts, and I don't have any money. Zhuzi, you have to take good care of your money and don't let your wife manage the accounts, otherwise you will have no money to spend."

"Oh my!" Sha Zhu slapped his thigh, "Aunt Jia, you're too late. Daya took all my money yesterday. I don't have a penny on me now."

Sha Zhu showed the cigarette in his hand to Jia Zhangshi, "Look, this cigarette was given to me by Dongxu."

Jia Zhang took a look at the cigarettes and spit out a mouthful of dissatisfaction, "Pah, I bought these cigarettes for the masters to smoke. Your brother Dongxu is so shameless that he took a few boxes and left."

"He has no money in his pocket, just like you."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Aunt Jia, Dong Xu has money. He has the money for building our house. There is 200 yuan."

"Well, I'll ask for you later to see if the money is still in his hands. He spends money so much, I'm worried that he spent it on you." Jia Zhang said a little guiltily.

Zhuzi’s house is about to be completed. If Jia Dongxu can’t come up with the money, do I have to pay for it for him again?

Humph, if he wants me to advance the money, he has to hand over his salary to me, otherwise I won’t advance it for him.

Jia Zhang thought that after Jia Dongxu gave the money to her, she would add up the money she earned every month. Wow, seventy-five yuan. The thought made her feel great.

At this time, Qin Huairu came down with a few people and saw Jia Zhang and Sha Zhu chatting.

"Mom, what are you and Zhuzi talking about? Why is she so beautiful?" Qin Huairu asked with a smile.

"Oh, isn't Zhuzi's house almost finished? By the way, does Zhuzi still have the remaining 200 yuan for the house payment?" asked the patriarch in a parent-like manner.

Qin Huairu looked at Jia Zhang and said, "Yes, he gave me the 200 yuan for safekeeping before he went to the pig farm, saying that he was afraid it would be lost."

"Oh, that's good, that's good." Jia Zhang's heart was bleeding. 200 yuan, but he gave it to his wife to take care of the baby instead of letting his mother take care of it. It turned out that he forgot his mother after he got a wife. And there's my 75 yuan every month.

"What's wrong, Mom? You don't look well. Do you want to lie down on the bed for a while?" Qin Huairu hurried forward to support Jia Zhang.

"It's okay, I just need to take a breath, but I feel a little upset." Jia Zhang said, patting her chest, "Huai Ru, what are you doing?"

"Well, my brother is off work, so let's send my sister-in-law over." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

"Go quickly, go quickly." When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu, she thought of the 75 yuan and felt unhappy.

After they left, Jia Zhang looked at Sha Zhu and walked towards her bedroom. "Zhu Zi, you are just like your brother. Your heart is all on your wife. Yu Shui is the best girl. She knows how to say nice things to coax me."

Sha Zhu ignored him and took out a cigarette, smoking it happily. He looked out the window at his house, which would be completed in a few days. He had to ask Master Lei to prepare a set of furniture for him. He was getting married soon, so he should get a new set of furniture.

Thinking back to yesterday when I took Jia Daya to the Military Control Commission to register, Director Wang scolded Jia Dongxu, saying that Jia Dongxu was setting a bad example and was leading all the young people in the yard to early marriage.

Sha Zhu was very happy. When Jia Dongxu said it just now, he didn't dare to say that he had registered. When Jia Dongxu left, he didn't dare to say it either, for fear that he would say that he had kept it a secret from him and make him angry.

Alas, Jia Dongxu's family has been very irritable recently. I am a little scared when I see them now.

But he was really nice to me. Even though he was angry, he still threw the cigarette to me.

Sha Zhu looked at the beams of the roof and thought of Jia Dongxu's appearance just now. Only in this way would he feel at ease to tell him the secret.

I met He Daqing at Fengze Garden today and told him that Jia Dongxu was getting married at the weekend and that I had registered my marriage. He looked very happy, and Sha Zhu felt relieved.

He also gave himself 10 yuan, saying it was a gift for Jia Dongxu's wedding, and asked me not to give any more.

Sha Zhu stared at the flames and laughed.

This day is as bright as the fire in the stove.

……

Jia Dongxu first went to get a haircut to make him look more energetic.

I washed my whole body with soap several times in the bathhouse, until I was clean from head to toe, and only stopped when I smelled no odor.

When he came out again, he changed into new clothes made by Qin Huairu, and he looked completely different.

When he got home, Sha Zhu looked at the refreshed Jia Dongxu and said, "Dongxu, you look so energetic."

"Haha, don't envy me. When you get married, you will be the same as me," Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu boasted.

At this time, Xu Damao, Liu Guangqi and Yan Jiecheng came over. Jia Dongxu was curious when he saw them. How could Yan Jiecheng walk on the same road with Liu Guangqi? Didn't their two families quarrel over the empty space behind the house?

Xu Damao looked at Jia Dongxu and couldn't help feeling curious. Jia Dongxu, who used to be coaxed by him to follow him for a whole day with just a piece of candy, actually looked like this.

Xu Damao glanced angrily at the two buddies beside him, and suddenly felt unhappy: We all live in the same yard, why do we all have to dress like the poor people?

Especially since you used to run behind a few of us, but now there are two or three of us running around.

"Da Mao, what are you doing?" Jia Dongxu glanced at the three of them. It's so late, why are you running out instead of staying at home and preparing to go to bed?

"Dongxu, after all, we grew up together. You're getting married soon, so why don't we go have a drink with you tonight?" Xu Damao said unhappily.
