Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

After get off work in the evening, Jia Dongxu took Wang Tongming, Zhang Daniu and the other five to his home. Jia Dongxu carried Wang Tongming on his back, Zhang Daniu took Zhu Lu on a bicycle, and Lao Li and Lao Liu followed behind.

"Dongxu, look, I also bought a bicycle." Zhang Daniu laughed.

Jia Dongxu said while pedaling his bicycle, "Brother Daniu, did your sister-in-law say anything to you?"

"Hey, isn't it strange? I, your big brother, usually spend a few dollars to buy something and get scolded. This time I came home and said I wanted to buy a bicycle, and I told him what you taught me. Guess what happened?"

"That woman gave me 180 yuan without saying a word, hehe." Zhang Daniu laughed.

"Daniu, what did Jia Dongxu say to you?" Wang Tongming asked curiously.

Zhang Daniu smiled and said, "Jia Dongxu said that after I go to the security department, I will follow the car for half of the month. Then she will be the one riding the car."

"Yeah, that's true." Wang Tongming nodded and thought for a while, "Dongxu, what should I do if I want to buy a car?"

"It's easy, Brother Wang. Just take some time to invite me and Daniu to your house for dinner." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Oh, what do you mean?" Wang Tongming asked curiously.

"Brother Danniu and I will ride our bicycles to your house. When your sister-in-law sees us, she will definitely complain a lot," said Jia Dongxu.

Wang Tongming said from behind, "What was she mumbling about while you were riding the bike? Could it be that if she muttered, the bike would become hers?"

"Director, you are wrongly accusing your sister-in-law. She will complain that your subordinates all have cars, and it's time for you to get one." Jia Dongxu said, and several people burst into laughter.

"Hey, not bad, not bad. What are you thinking about? Are you free tomorrow?" Wang Tongming asked.

"Unfortunately, I have to go to Changping tomorrow." Jia Dongxu said.

"Then let's go to Monday. Come to my house on Monday night and I'll tinker with something rare for you." Wang Tongming said.

"Okay, then Monday." Jia Dongxu said.

"Okay, I'll take Dongxu there on Monday." Zhang Daniu said from the side.

Arriving at the No. 95 courtyard, Wang Tongming sighed, "Two wheels are still faster. Normally, it would take half an hour to go this distance."

Yan Bugui saw several people coming in at the door and was about to ask some questions, but when he saw that it was Jia Dongxu who brought them, he sat back down and said, "Dongxu is back."

"Today your mother and Zhuzi bought a bunch of food. Is there any happy event?"

"Oh, yes, please treat the leader to a meal." Jia Dongxu responded and invited a few people into the central courtyard.

"Zhu Zi, there's a fire." Jia Dongxu saw Sha Zhu waiting nearby and hurriedly called out.

"Okay, the four cold dishes are ready, you can eat them first." Sha Zhu handed two cold dishes to Jia Dongxu.

Wang Tongming saw it and hurriedly shouted, "Dongxu, don't worry, wait for Xiao Li and Xiao Liu first, they will be here soon."

"Okay, I'll go get a few bottles of wine." Jia Dongxu said as he went to get the wine.

"You go sit with your leaders, I'll take care of the work." Jia Zhang handed over two bottles of wine and a few packs of cigarettes.

"Okay, Mom, you can eat it first with the rain water, don't let the child starve." Jia Dongxu took the cigarettes and wine.

"Let's finish this wine later." Jia Dongxu said as he took the wine.

"Dongxu, these cigarettes are fine. As for the wine, bring two more bottles." Wang Tongming said, pulling Jia Dongxu to sit next to him.

At this time, Yan Bugui came over with Lao Li and Lao Liu, "Dongxu, your two colleagues come here, I brought them to you."

Jia Dongxu stood up and invited Lao Li and Lao Liu into the house. Yan Bugui looked into the house and saw Sha Zhu cooking. He smelled the fragrance and wanted to follow in.

Jia Dongxu quickly handed over a cigarette and stopped in front of Yan Bugui, "Thank you, Uncle Yan, let's have tea when we have time."

When Yan Bugui heard this, he realized that he couldn’t have a free meal. Reluctantly, he smelled the aroma of the food, took the cigarette and left.

Wang Tongming looked at the house, then looked towards the door and saw the newly built house in the west wing. "Dongxu, your neighbor's house outside is really high."

"How can it not be high? There is an attic." Jia Dongxu said as he passed cigarettes to a few people.

"I'll go and check it out later. I have several girls and boys at home, so I have to prepare them in advance." Wang Tongming said as he looked outside.

"That'll take a while. Let's go and take a look today while it's still bright outside." Jia Dongxu said as he walked out.

Master Lei saw Jia Dongxu coming with a few people and said, "Young man, look, today the tiles have been laid and the joints have been filled with cement. We are not afraid of strong winds or heavy rains."

Jia Dongxu quickly handed over a cigarette, "That's great, if we don't lay the floor, we can move in today."

"Haha, it's not ready today. We still need to nail thick wooden boards to the attic." Master Lei said, pointing to the ground, "Let's smooth the ground today and lay the floor tiles tomorrow."

"Master, my leader and colleagues want to go in and take a look. Do you think they can go in now?" Jia Dongxu asked from the side.

"Okay, okay, I'll introduce them to you." Master Lei said as he led the way and introduced Wang Tongming and Zhang Daniu.

After Master Lei finished his introduction, Jia Dongxu asked with a smile, "How is it? Brother Wang, my house is well built, isn't it?"

"Oh, is this your house?" Wang Tongming asked in surprise.

"Haha, thanks to Master Lei." Jia Dongxu said, "Director Wang introduced it to me."

"Oh, Sister Wang introduced it. This house is built very nicely. If your bathroom is converted into a room, it will be five houses." Wang Tongming said on the side.

"That's right. When you move, tell me so that your sister-in-law can come and see it."

"Okay." Jia Dongxu agreed, "Master Lei, how long will it take to move in?"

Master Lei thought for a moment and said, "It will take about two days to scrape the wall, and another four days to install the toilet and make the stove."

"If you include the new furniture, it will take about eight days."

"Okay, Master Lei, do we have enough time to finish building this house?" Zhang Daniu asked from the side.

"We have to wait a while. The main house next door also needs to be built." Master Lei pointed to Sha Zhu's house.

"Okay, okay, Master Lei, I'll make an appointment with the next one. How much will it cost to build this house?" Zhang Daniu said.

"Hey, Director, please discuss this with my sister-in-law first. I'll take care of this side first. It's too crowded with the elderly and children."

Master Lei was delighted. He didn't expect that Xiao Jia's loft apartment would be liked by so many people.

He smiled and said, "Xiao Jia's family spent 400 yuan including the materials and labor. If it is about the same size, ours will also be 400 yuan, and we will also give you half a set of furniture."

"Okay, how do we decide?" Zhang Daniu said.

"I have to go to the scene and take a look first." said Master Lei.

Zhang Daniu nodded and said, "I'll pick you up at lunch tomorrow. It's nearby."

Seeing that the two had reached an agreement, Jia Dongxu invited everyone to dinner.
