Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"I don't have a sister, it doesn't matter if you scold me!"

Jia Dongxu suddenly said, "But why don't you try running now?"

"Go away. You'd better use that energy to carry the ammunition boxes." Liu Shengli pulled Jia Dongxu over.

When the two arrived at the train station, they saw the station manager who was anxiously waiting for them to come over with a telegram in his hand.

Seeing the two people coming, he quickly handed over the telegram.

"Secretary Liu, there's a telegram for you!"

Liu Shengli took the telegram cheerfully, "Haha, I must be transferred to the front line. Xiao Jia, you can carry the boxes here by yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, he handed the telegram to Jia Dongxu in a depressed mood.

"Comrade Xiao Jia, are you a jinx? I just arrived at the front line and I'm about to be transferred back to be in charge of the production of compressed biscuits with you!"

Jia Dongxu took it and saw that it said to set off immediately upon seeing the telegram.

"It seems that the birth is not going smoothly. Did you encounter any problems?"

Jia Dongxu murmured, "This shouldn't be the case. I've arranged everything very well. Is it because there isn't enough raw material? Or is it because the production speed can't keep up?"

"When will there be a train back to Beijing?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"It's available now!" said the station manager.

"Please arrange for us to get into the car and prepare some dry food for us!"

As Jia Dongxu spoke, he handed the contents of the telegram to the person in charge to take a look. It would be terrible if a joke like the one that happened here turned out to be a disaster.

"Okay, come with me."

The station manager arranged for the two people to board the train directly.

When the train started, Liu Shengli was still unhappy.

"What's wrong? Are you so unhappy about going home? Let me tell you, this compressed biscuit is a good thing. It's what you eat on the sled."

Jia Dongxu was wondering what the problem was. When he saw Liu Shengli's expression, he quickly reminded him what compressed biscuits were.

"Oh? Is that important?" Liu Shengli asked casually, not in a good mood.

"This is to supply food for the soldiers here. Tell me if it's important or not. Boy, I'm almost dying of worry. What's the problem?"

Jia Dongxu complained, "What is Political Commissar Yu doing? Is it really necessary for me to be in charge of these things?"

"Ah? The rations here are so important? I thought it was just a snack you made." Li Shengli also became worried, "Will this affect the battle?"

"It won't have that much of an impact, after all, we have food rations now." Jia Dongxu said, "But this can improve our combat capabilities outside. Just one piece can feed six or seven people."

"You only need to carry a few dozen of them, and you won't have to worry about going hungry for ten days or half a month. Haha, just think about it, if we equip them with our new weapons, what kind of results will our soldiers produce?"

"Compared to this, we are just living our retirement life carrying ammunition boxes here!"

"Why isn't this car moving yet? It makes me anxious."

Liu Shengli looked at Jia Dongxu who was a little anxious, "Xiao Jia, this is the first time I see you so anxious."

"How can I not be anxious? If nothing happened, would there be any need to call me back like this?" Jia Dongxu said, then looked Liu Shengli up and down.

"By the way, what's your background that you can go back with me? And you even specifically asked me to be in charge of the production of compressed biscuits. Don't you think I'm enough?"

"Hmph, come to think of it, I should blame you. Who asked you to come here? If you hadn't come, I wouldn't be remembered. I guess something happened that made them remember me." Liu Shengli said thoughtfully.

Jia Dongxu said, "Oh, so you really do have another identity. Who is it?"

"Why are you curious about this? Just go to sleep." Liu Shengli said as he tightened his clothes and lay down to sleep.

The conditions inside this car are much better, with two rows of seats where you can just lie down and sleep.

As the train started, the two were getting closer and closer to the capital, and they arrived there seven days later.

Jia Dongxu took Liu Shengli directly back to the steel rolling mill. Seeing that Wang Tongming was not there, he called Hu Mingcheng from the logistics department to arrange a car to take the two to Jiajia Village.

When the two men arrived near Jiajia Village, they saw a towering chimney piercing the sky, emitting wisps of white smoke.

"I think the construction of the factory and accommodation has already started. At present, the two kilns, one large and one small, can provide tens of thousands of bricks each time. I have been away for about a month, and there should be a big change.

As they got closer, the road became easier and easier to walk on. Jia Dongxu simply stopped the car and went back. He and Liu Shengli walked over and took a look at the progress of the construction.

Jia Dongxu pointed to a messy wasteland beside the road and said, "This is the address reserved for the steel mill. Hasn't construction started yet?"

Then he looked at another row of houses, "It looks like there are changes! There is an extra row of houses. I guess it's a factory that produces compressed biscuits."

"Let's go and take a look." Jia Dongxu led the way

When the two of them got closer, they were seen by people who were watching from afar.

"Comrades, you are not allowed to visit here." Someone came out to stop them.

"Is Political Commissar Yu here? I am Jia Dongxu." Jia Dongxu quickly revealed his identity.

"District Chief Jia is back! He was wearing too many clothes and I couldn't recognize him." The man hurriedly welcomed Jia Dongxu in.

"When did I become the district chief?"

Jia Dongxu asked, then followed him in. It was too cold outside.

"Who's in charge here?"

The man quickly replied, "It's Secretary Yu, but he's been ill recently, so it's Village Chief Jia who's watching over here."

"What happened to Old Yu? Didn't his wife come over? Why is he sick again? Is it serious?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Then I saw Jia Zhenye leading people to work. Everyone was still wearing outer clothes that were covered with dust. They were making cookies and chatting, and their saliva was almost flying all over the place.

Jia Dongxu frowned when he saw this. How could such sanitary conditions be allowed? It would be a big trouble if someone got sick from eating!

I don’t know if he was asked to come here because there was something wrong with the compressed biscuits he ate before.

"Everyone stop what you are doing!"

Jia Dongxu clapped his hands and asked everyone to stop.

Jia Zhenye, who was working, heard a familiar voice. He looked up and found that it was Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, you're back!"

Seeing that Jia Dongxu looked unhappy, he quickly said, "Look, we made a lot of these cookies today!"

Jia Dongxu nodded, "Does everyone always do this?"

"Why don't you wear clean clothes and cover your mouth, nose and hair?"

After hearing this, Jia Zhenye nodded and said, "Yes, we all do this. We also did this when Secretary Yu was here!"
