Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

The next morning, Master Lei and his men started working, and the sound of clanging was very lively.

When Jia Dongxu came out, he saw that all the rough wood on the second-floor attic had been put up. Seeing Jia Dongxu coming out, Master Lei climbed down.

"Young man, do you think our speed is okay?" Master Lei asked with a smile.

"Okay! Is this wall solid? It was just built yesterday." Jia Dongxu was a little skeptical about the wall-building technology at that time.

"Don't worry. The weather is dry now, and the cement dries quickly. The double walls we build with cement and sand are very solid." Master Lei said, looking at the house over at Sha Zhu's side.

"Young man, how do you want to build Master He's house?" Master Lei asked.

"Zhu Zi, come out and tell me how you want to build your house?" Jia Dongxu shouted into the house.

"Just build it like your house," Sha Zhu said nonchalantly.

"It's not easy to deal with the ear room next to yours as it's next to your neighbor." Master Lei said after thinking for a while.

"The pillars, the corner between the ear room and your main room cannot be built. Just build the main room and leave the ear room alone. Then put a door on it and close it. You can grow some vegetables or something in the corner." Jia Dongxu muttered to the side.

"Okay, that's it." Sha Zhu nodded in agreement.

"Okay, in that case, we'll build it according to your price, still 400 yuan, minus 25 yuan for the floor tiles, a total of 375 yuan." Master Lei also happily reported the bill. This was almost a month's work, and the five of them made a lot of money this month.

"Okay, Master Lei, please write an order and I'll pay a deposit of 200 yuan. After I finish building my own, I'll build his house." Jia Dongxu nodded.

"Okay." Master Lei took out a pen and paper, wrote a deposit note and handed it to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu counted out 200 yuan and handed it to Master Lei. Master Lei took the money and went to work with a smile.

"Zhu Zi, after breakfast go to your master to ask for work, and remember to come back to cook at noon." Jia Dongxu said as he went into the house to eat breakfast.

"Okay, I'll come over after I finish eating." Sha Zhu followed her in and said to Jia Zhang, "Auntie Jia, please prepare the dishes for me. I'll come back and cook."

"Okay, no problem. I'll find a few sisters to practice with today. Once we become proficient in a few days, we'll make a set of clothes for you." Jia Zhang said.

I thought about it last night and decided to discuss it with a few families when they are not busy at noon. I think they will not refuse.

"Mom, please find some time to work on the land next to Zhuzi's side room and plant some vegetables to see if we can get some cabbage in the winter," said Jia Dongxu.

"Okay, I understand. When the plants are grown, each family can share one in the middle of winter, and no one will complain." Jia Zhang said as she put down the bowl, looked at the fat on her body, gritted her teeth, and walked out the door.

"Dongxu, what is your mother doing?" Sha Zhu looked at Jia Zhang in confusion.

"I know." Yu Shui said, "Aunt Jia said last night that she was too fat and wanted to lose weight."

"Well, she wants to lose weight. She has to eat the food of three people." said Sha Zhu.

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu's forehead darkened. This idiot Zhu didn't eat or drink his food, so why did he care how much others ate?

"Mom, please bring some breakfast to the old lady in the backyard." Jia Dongxu shouted at the door.

"No need. The old lady said she would come over to eat, so there's no need for us to send her home." Jia Zhang was cleaning bricks outside. When she saw that it was almost done, she would go to the vegetable market to buy vegetables. If she stayed a little later, she would be in a hurry to go home so that she could bargain.

Yesterday, Master Lei said that the bricks looked good when laid on the floor, and she would clean them out as soon as possible. Yesterday, I washed a piece of this thick green brick and took a look at it. It was very delicate. When the time comes, I will clean it up and rinse it with water, and it will definitely look good when laid.

Seeing that Yu Shui had finished eating, Jia Dongxu pushed his bicycle and took Yu Shui to the steel rolling mill.

With this bicycle, he can arrive at the factory 15 minutes earlier, 5 minutes earlier than the security department's working hours, and he can also discharge rainwater to school on the way.

When I arrived at the security department, I checked the records of last night. There were a few people who left late. After asking them, I planned to take some time to find their leader to inquire about the situation and get closer to them.

When the day shift and the night shift were handing over, Zhang Daniu was outside the room watching Jia Dongxu handling the matter. The six clerks who were handing over the shift were also chatting and laughing with Jia Dongxu.

They also told each other that it was the first time they heard someone teach children to look for them for protection, and they seemed very happy.

One of them who looked older said with a smile, "Secretary Jia, you are right. We fight to protect our country and our children."

"Haha, brother, that's why you are our heroes. We are all thanks to you." Jia Dongxu said.

"That little girl yesterday was your sister?"

"No, it belongs to my neighbor. The parents are out, so my family is helping to look after the child." Jia Dongxu replied.

"Oh, it's pretty good. Some of our comrades also have children, but they are out of town now."

Jia Dongxu looked outside and saw Zhang Daniu waving at him, and said quickly, "You have worked all night, go back and rest early, the day shift will be handed over to us. The workers will be here soon."

They were no longer polite, quickly completed the handover, and started working.

Zhang Daniu pulled Jia Dongxu aside and said, "Dongxu, I didn't expect these people to get along well with you. I dare not offend them, brother."

"What do you mean?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"As for them, I don't dare to control them for fear of getting beaten." Zhang Daniu said aggrievedly.

Jia Dongxu laughed and said, "Why, did they beat you?"

"Isn't it? Each of the five of them has beaten me, and I didn't dare to say anything." Zhang Daniu said aggrievedly.

"You're still the best. Since you're young and pretty, no one will bully you."

"Brother Danniu, they are taking care of me." Jia Dongxu said with a smile. It seems that he will have to let Yu Shui come to play more often in the future. These retired veterans will probably be happy to see this little girl.

If nothing else, just to avoid getting beaten less.

"Did you buy a bicycle?" Zhang Daniu looked at a bicycle in the security room.

"Well, I plan to visit Beijing more often, and it's convenient for daily use, so I bought one." Jia Dongxu said, and saw Zhang Daniu looking at the bicycle with envy, "Brother Daniu, bicycles are not expensive. You can buy one with your salary."

"I can't bear to do that." Zhang Daniu scratched his head, "If I spend so much money at once, your sister-in-law will probably scold me to death."

"Brother Daniu, you are wrong. If you really buy it, your sister-in-law will at most scold you, but she will definitely be very happy. A bicycle, how face-saving." Jia Dongxu continued, "Look, you will follow the bicycle for half a month, who will be riding it then?"

"Yeah, why didn't I think of this?" Zhang Daniu patted his head. You are really smart, kid.

Seeing this, Jia Dongxu continued, "Look, sister-in-law, you have to pick up the kids from school every day, right? You have to go shopping for groceries, right? Riding a bicycle saves time and is easy and not tiring. If you have a bicycle, wouldn't it be much easier?"
