Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

When Jia Dongxu returned to the courtyard, he saw Jia Zhangshi and Jia Daya waiting for him with their things.

It seems that Jia Daya has convinced Jia Zhang.

"Dongxu, we have to go back to Jiajia Village." Jia Zhang said.

"Uh, don't you want to talk to Zhuzi?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"I've already told Master Lei and the others that Zhuzi has nothing to do at noon and gets off work early, so he can come back to cook." Jia Daya said with a smile, "I'll ask Master Lei to tell Zhuzi to deliver the old lady's meal in the next two days."

"Okay, let's arrange it this way and let's go. By the way, do you have any food? It will take us more than four hours to get back." Jia Dongxu asked.

"I brought it. Do you want to eat it?" asked Jia Zhang.

"Let's eat on the way. By the way, is there anything going on in the yard now? I haven't been home for a few days, I don't know what the situation is now."

When Jia Dongxu went out, he saw his wife in Liu Haizhong and remembered that he had not paid attention to the courtyard for several days.

It seems that when I get busy in the future, I won't be able to take care of the things in the yard. Should I let the old man go? Otherwise, it will be a waste of time.

"Mom, I'm also now, what do you think about me transferring the old man in the courtyard out?"

"Dongxu, we finally got a few days of peace, and you can't let it go?" Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu like a fool, "Since you can't take care of it, why don't you add an uncle?"

"Then who do you think we should add? Give me some advice!" Jia Dongxu nodded after listening. It seemed that he was overthinking it. He still had to keep the balance in the yard.

"If you ask me, Liu Haizhong is a good person, but I'm worried that Yi Zhonghai will cause trouble with him." Jia Zhang said.

"Don't worry, let's ask Liu Haizhong. His family is guarding the yard now, and we should give him a good reputation. Our family asked them for 200 yuan, and the news spread in the yard. This way, people won't think we are in the same group. It's good for my reputation." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"And Liu Haizhong has seen how I act as a boss. He is a person who likes power, so he will definitely not dare to do anything out of line. When I come back this time, I will propose to elect him, and by the way, arrange for everyone in the yard to buy firewood for the winter."

"Well, what you said is true, then choose him." Jia Zhang said with a smile, "Oh, by the way, Yi Zhonghai seems to be different, and he looks sinister."

Jia Dongxu heard it and smiled, "Mom, that's not sinister, that's feminine."

"Didn't their family say they would adopt a child? How is it going now?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"Well, he said he was looking for Director Wang to choose a child. He wants to raise two children, a boy and a girl, and change their surname to Yi Zhonghai's." Jia Zhang said, glancing at Jia Dongxu, "Yi Zhonghai once told me that you will be his old man in the future."

"Bah, he's dreaming!"

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "When Uncle He left, he said he would find someone to teach Yi Zhonghai a lesson, but he was delayed by his hospitalization. I think maybe he will be able to do it when we come back."

"Mom, Daya, if there is an investigation later, just say you don't know. Daya, especially you, Uncle He is your father-in-law. If you reveal it, it will harm you and Zhuzi."

Jia Dongxu was not worried about Jia Zhang, but he was worried about Jia Daya.

"Okay Brother Dongxu, I haven't met Zhuzi's father yet, can you tell me about him?" Jia Daya asked.

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "It's better that you don't know yet. Some things are quite annoying. Zhuzi and I can handle them. You women don't have to worry about them."

Jia Zhang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Zhuzi. I will have a good chat with Daya these few days and let him know how cunning the people in the city are."

"Well, Mom, it sounds like you're saying that I'm cunning." Jia Dongxu said speechlessly, and then asked Jia Zhang to take out the cakes she brought on the road and start eating them.

"Dongxu, didn't you have lunch? Why do you want to eat now?"

Jia Zhang looked at him with some disgust and asked, "He looked like a starving ghost when he was eating the cakes in the morning, too."

"Oh, I ate, but I'm not full. I didn't feel like eating more." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

Jia Zhang was surprised and asked, "Ah? Someone invited you to dinner? Is it that guy from this morning? He ate so many cakes from our house, and he invited you to dinner at noon and didn't let you eat enough!"

"Come on, tell me what you had for lunch, and I'll prepare the same for him next time he comes."

"Mom, please remember this. Next time he comes, prepare the same thing: a plate of steamed buns, a bowl of porridge, a dish of shredded pickles, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a plate of stir-fried vegetables." Jia Dongxu said with concern.

"Ah? He is so stingy! The cakes he ate from our house are more valuable than what he had for lunch!" Jia Zhang said a little exaggeratedly.

"Well, it's not his treat, Mom. Let me tell you, today's meal is the best meal your son has ever had. I'm afraid he will hardly eat it again in his life." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"From what you said, it seems like the emperor is having dinner with you. Look how happy you are."

Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu's expression and laughed and scolded him for being useless. This was the best thing she had ever eaten. When her family was in the most difficult times, it seemed that their life was similar to this. Of course, there was no scrambled eggs.

"Mom, now that you mention it, well, it's one level lower than the emperor. It's like eating with the prime minister." Jia Dongxu said with a smile, "You don't know, I was shocked. The fried eggs were only added when we went there. They are not usually served."

"Ah, the prime minister? Stop talking nonsense. Whose prime minister eats so poorly? I would say that the prime minister eats pancakes fried in a big pot, sprinkled with chopped green onions and lard."

Jia Zhang was standing aside, imagining what the cake the prime minister was eating looked like.

"Haha, Mom, our prime minister eats steamed corn bread and drinks porridge with shredded pickles." Jia Dongxu said seriously.

"Son, did you really meet that leader today?" When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu's expression, she suddenly realized that her son was not joking.

"Yeah, I thought you wouldn't see me, but we chatted for almost an hour." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Ah? Tell me quickly, what does the leader look like?" Jia Zhang asked. This was something everyone had been talking about but had never seen. After hearing Jia Dongxu say that he had seen the leader, Jia Zhang also became excited.

After hearing this, Jia Daya hurriedly moved closer, fearing that she would miss it.

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "What can I say? He looks the same as in the painting, but he looks thinner and his hair is grayer."

"Is this what the leader eats for lunch?"

Jia Zhang suddenly asked, it seemed that she was just beginning to think clearly.

"Well, just eat these, otherwise why would I eat cake now?" Jia Dongxu said while eating the cake in his hand.
