Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Go away, let's talk, what are you talking about!

Get to work!

I just heard Mom say in the kitchen that you don’t do any work.”

Then he pulled Jia Danniu aside and started chatting with her.

Jia Dongxu called out, so he had to go in silently again. When he reached the door, he suddenly thought, what was he doing here just now?

I patted my head and listened to their conversation, which was a bit confusing.

Oh, by the way, I wonder if my second uncle can swim, so let him go fishing during the confinement period!

I hurried back and saw that the two were still chatting enthusiastically about the previous topic.

"Hey, stop chatting, I came here to say that I want my second uncle to go fishing!"

Qin Huairu heard this and said angrily, "You let him go fishing in such a cold weather? Do you think he is lucky or that we have too many children in the Qin family?"

"No, what I mean is to let your second brother go and get it out while you are in confinement!" Jia Dongxu said quickly.

"Okay, okay, don't worry about these things, they will take care of them!"

Qin Huairu said, rolling her eyes at Jia Dongxu, "Hey, why are you still here? Did you spend a lot of money to cook?"

Jia Dongxu was speechless after hearing this. This scene couldn’t be seen in other families in the courtyard, right?

It's only like this in his family. Well, it must be that guy Shazhu. A grown man cooks every day, and everyone in the family thinks that men should cook!

"Zhu Zi, why do you have to be a chef when there are so many other jobs available to you?"

Jia Dongxu said unhappily after entering the kitchen.

"Huh? What do you mean?" Sha Zhu looked at Jia Dongxu, his hands moving non-stop, cutting vegetables skillfully and fiddling with the pot from time to time.

"Look at how lazy the two women are in supporting me!" Jia Dongxu complained.

"I think you are too lazy!" Jia Zhang raised her eyebrows when she heard this. "You are so tired of doing some work. Is it the same in the factory?"

"I think you are used to being served!"

"Hey, Mom, I didn't say anything, why did you react so strongly?" Jia Dongxu said quickly.

"Shh, keep your voice down. Don't you know they are pregnant? You have to show off your ability at this time!"

"Wait until the baby is born, then you can come and talk to me." Jia Zhang said in a low voice.

"Did you find out anything when you went out just now? Is the fish okay?" Jia Zhang asked, "Otherwise I will have to go check on Yan Bugui in the backyard."

"No, why are you asking him?" Jia Dongxu asked puzzledly.

"Let him go fishing. Doesn't he go fishing every day?" Jia Zhang said, glancing at Jia Dongxu. "If you knew how to fish, I wouldn't have to go looking for him."

"Ah? Who said I can't?"

Jia Dongxu was getting anxious. He was an expert at fishing, and Uncle Jia recognized his high skills. This was a bit unreasonable. It didn't matter if someone else questioned him. If fishing was not okay, then it was wrong!

"Mom, don't you know that I'm a first-rate fisherman? In Jia Village, no one is better at fishing than me!"

"Well, then I want to eat fish tomorrow!" said Jia Zhang.

"I need some tools. I'll go buy a set tomorrow. I always felt like something was missing, and it turns out this is it. Otherwise, I'll go fishing right now!"

Jia Dongxu gestured with a smile, "A few days ago, Liu Shengli and I caught a big one like this in the village river!"

"Wow, you are not bragging, I have never seen such a big fish!" Jia Zhang said in confusion.

Jia Dongxu said proudly, "Haha, that's right, otherwise how can I say that fishing in Jia Village is great!"

Jia Zhang was a little tempted, "Okay, now that you mentioned it, I really want to eat fish! Zhuzi, think about how to make it tomorrow!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you!" Jia Dongxu didn't care and nodded in agreement.

After waiting for a while, Liu Shengli and his brother came over.

"I can smell the spicy flavor of your food from far away." Liu Shengli said first at the door.

"Don't you like this spicy taste? You like Hunan flavor. If it's not spicy, it won't taste good!" Sha Zhu has been waiting for him for a long time.

"How are we drinking today?"

"Can you give me some more of that medicinal wine? Besides taking a nap, it feels pretty good when you wake up!"

"That's not enough! Let your brother and Dongxu drink that stuff, and we'll drink something else."

Sha Zhu said, "It's so hard to have a drink with you, I have to drink well no matter what!"

"I have a bottle of 10-year-old Fenjiu here, would you like some?"

Liu Shengli nodded, "That's a bit ordinary, but I didn't expect you to drink ordinary wine. Next time I'll bring some from my home."

"Don't come next time, I'll come again tomorrow and bring a few bottles!" Liu Shengli's younger brother said, "The food here is delicious!"

"Okay, come over here and bring a few bottles of wine from my room." Liu Shengli said, and started serving the dishes with familiarity.

"By the way, Zhuzi, hurry up and make them some non-spicy dishes. Let's start drinking!"

"Okay, Dongxu, go to my room and get two bottles of wine!" Shazhu asked Jia Dongxu to get the wine, and then said to Liu Shengli mysteriously, "Shengli, Dongxu has two bottles of wine that he said are from the big boss. You have to ask him to let you taste them."

Liu Shengli listened and nodded, "I know that wine. If it's gone later, I'll get him some more!"

Then he turned to his brother and said, "Take one of the two bottles of wine in the cabinet in my room and give it to Brother Zhuzi."

"Brother Zhuzi, you have to keep it. I can't bear to drink that wine!"

"Okay, I'll wait for you to come over and drink alone." Sha Zhu was cooking happily.

"Wait a minute, there are still two dishes left. Help me to light the stove."

After hearing this, Liu Shengli happily ran to work.

"Zhu Zi, do you know Master He in Jiajia Village? How come everyone with the surname He can cook?" Liu Shengli asked with a smile.

"In the village, Master He's cooking can take over the village canteen with just one meal."

"That's my father. Dongxu and I asked him to go to Jia Village a few days ago. How is he doing there?"

"It's okay, but I'm a little worried that he won't be able to handle it as there are too many people," said Liu Shengli.

"Don't worry, I can cook for thousands of people in the factory, so he can do it too." Sha Zhu said without any worries, and then paused, "He's not having any affairs over there, right?"

After hearing this, Liu Shengli looked at Sha Zhu curiously and asked, "Do you care about this too?"

"Hey, it's hard to explain. I'm afraid he will make more mistakes!" Sha Zhu said worriedly, "Don't worry if you laugh at him. He was almost tricked into joining a gang before."

"Ah? What is a gang?" Liu Shengli asked puzzledly. He had never heard of this term.
