Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"I didn't say you complained at home, but look at yourself, you've become so thin now." Jia Zhang said, and then changed her tone to negotiate.

"Why don't you take a few days off and recuperate?"

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said, "Okay, Mom, you see, I'm not working overtime or staying up late. Zhuzi works the night shift every day. Why do you think I need to take a leave?"

"Okay, don't say that Political Commissar Yu bullied me next time. He was so tired that he got sick last time. As for Director Wang, he had something wrong."

"Okay, I just said something nonsense, but you are so reasonable, I shouldn't have said anything extra."

Jia Dongxu glanced at Sha Zhu and said, "Didn't Zhuzi drink the medicinal wine he brewed last time a few times?"

As Jia Zhang said this, she went upstairs to get out a box, took it to the kitchen, and opened it.

He cut off a small section of whisker and handed it to Jia Dongxu, "Eat it. The old lady gave it to me. She said it's hundreds of years old."

"Oh, the old lady has this good stuff!" Jia Dongxu took a look and saw that it was ginseng. He quickly took it, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.

Then he took the box and looked at it, "This is it. Is it hundreds of years old?"

"Then this thing is too valuable. We are taking advantage of the old lady."

Jia Zhang nodded and said, "After the old lady took it out, she didn't want to take it back. She said that it was enough for you to take care of yourself for many years, so you can take good care of yourself and live a few more years to do good deeds for everyone.

I can’t remember the exact words, but that’s what she meant.”

"Okay, then accept it. We owe you a huge favor." Jia Dongxu said as he closed the box and handed it to Jia Zhangshi.

"I'll just feed you a small portion every day. Didn't the doctor say that you only need to take tonic food? This is perfect."

Jia Dongxu laughed and said, "Okay, then you have to take good care of it. But it's a pity, if it could be saved, it would be very valuable. If it was kept for a few decades, it might be worth hundreds of millions."

"Ah? So much money? Then our family must be extremely rich!" Jia Zhang said exaggeratedly after hearing this.

"I'll have to make a lot of delicious food at home, and have different meals in the morning and afternoon!"

Jia Dongxu was speechless, "Mom, you are eating well now, Chef He cooks delicious food for you every day, you are enjoying the ultimate blessing!

You said you wanted to lose weight, but you didn't lose any weight. Instead, you seem to have gained some weight."

Jia Zhang was delighted to hear this, "That's Zhuzi, be careful, he is much better than your son!"

Then he shook his head again, "There are so many delicacies I haven't eaten. Look at the delicacies from the mountains and the sea, shark fins, bird's nests, bear paws, and deer lips. I have never even smelled these delicacies in operas!"

"Eh? These, if you have a chance you can try them, they are not good stuff, not as good as these little things, which are just mysterious.

In my opinion, it would be better to eat a bowl of rice made from pillars!"

"Haha, Aunt Jia, you said Dongxu is sometimes very irritating, but sometimes he speaks in a very likable way."

While cooking, Sha Zhu said, "If you want to eat bear paws, I'll remove the bones from the pig's trotters, and when you steam them, they will look like bear paws."

“I guarantee it will be delicious!”

"I think you want to eat it!" Jia Zhang said, "But that thing is for women who have confinement and produce milk. If we buy it, other people who produce milk will not be able to buy it."

"Uh, Mom, everything you see looks like childbirth!" Jia Dongxu said speechlessly, "When the baby is born, I'll let them eat pig's trotters every day, right?"

"You said it, if you can't do it, I will never forgive you! Your wife and Zhuzi's wife are waiting for you.

If they don’t have milk by then, I won’t do anything to you.”

"Okay, okay, next year our village's pig farm will be able to produce pigs, four hooves a day, no less!

If you need more fish, I'll ask my father-in-law to go to the village lake and fish for them. I've put a lot of small fish in it!"

"Hey, you're so rude, you even want to order your father-in-law to work!" Jia Zhang nodded with satisfaction and said with a smile, "Finally it's of some use. You're the only useless person in this family who doesn't even pick up a broom."

"If Huairu hears that you want to order your father-in-law to do something, she will settle the score with you."

Jia Dongxu glanced at Jia Zhangshi and said doubtfully, "This should be considered a good thing, I am trying to get something for my family!"

"Well, it seems to be true now!"

Jia Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Is your second uncle free?"

"What's wrong?" Jia Dongxu asked puzzledly.

"Let him go fishing. He's in the village and has time!"

Jia Zhang said, "If you don't use it now, you won't need it when he gets married."

"Uh, that mother, the four pig's trotters were asked to stay with him, and he is in charge of the pig farm in the village."

Jia Dongxu said, and thought for a moment, "You're right. There's no need to let it go. I'll have to tell him later that we need to go catch some fish in the big pond in the village."

Then he came to the living room and asked, "Huai Ru, does your second brother know how to swim?"

"Ah? It seems so. I don't know." Qin Huairu put down the needle and thread in her hand. She and Jia Daya were sewing clothes for the children.

"Yes he can, I've seen him!" Jia Daya said at this time.

"No, how did you know?" Qin Huairu looked at Jia Daya, "I don't know, how did you know?"

"He and Jia Erzhu secretly went to swim in the river near us. I saw it!" Jia Daya said with a smile.

"The two of them? There's an age difference, right?" Jia Dongxu asked puzzledly. When he went to the pig farm, he saw that the two of them didn't seem to have anything to talk about. He didn't expect that they would go swimming in the river.

"But I do believe what you said. My eldest brother and his sister are engaged, and my second brother will definitely go to see them." Qin Huairu said, then looked at Jia Daya.

"Why are you paying attention to my second brother?"

"Huh? Well, it's okay for us to get to know each other, right?" Jia Daya was a little flustered and looked around the kitchen.

"My mother said before that she wanted to look for your second brother, so I wanted to go and see him."

"Oh, so you almost became my sister-in-law?" Qin Huairu said cheerfully, glancing at Jia Dongxu, "It seems like it's a good thing that he and the big girl are here."

"My eldest sister found my house and told my mother about it." Jia Daya said, glancing at Qin Huairu, "But if you and my eldest sister come to the city, I will not marry your second brother."

"What you said is true. I guess everyone wants to move into the city now." Qin Huairu said.

Jia Dongxu was listening with great interest and said quickly, "Haha, that's not the case now.

Now everyone wants to marry into Jia Village!"
