Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

When Jia Dongxu heard Qin Huairu say that she was going to repair the grave, he was very touched. His mother didn't even remind her. This girl is really good.

He stopped the car and took out a candy from his pocket. "Well said, here's a reward for you."

Qin Huairu reached out to take the candy, turned around and put it in her pocket, then reminded Jia Dongxu to continue riding his bike.

"Why don't you eat it?" Jia Dongxu asked curiously when he saw Qin Huairu putting the candy into his pocket.

"I've eaten it today, so I'll save this one for next time." Qin Huairu said with a smile.

Jia Dongxu thought for a moment and said distressedly, "Huai Ru, why don't you go find a job in the city? There's no money to spend in the countryside."

"Okay, what can I do in the city?" Qin Huairu said happily, "This way I can earn money to help my family repair the house."

"You want to repair the house with the money you earn?" Jia Dongxu said with a smile. This silly girl has been taking care of her family since she was young, no wonder she can raise three children.

"If the house is not repaired, I will have no place to live." Qin Huairu said.

"Where do you live now?" Jia Dongxu asked curiously.

"I cleared out the firewood pile behind the kitchen, and my room is now separated by a curtain." Qin Huairu said, "My eldest brother is dating, so he can't live in the same room with my second brother like before. But this way I will have no room."

"Then why doesn't your second brother live in the kitchen?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"My parents won't allow me." Qin Huairu said in a low voice.

"Okay, then I'll help you ask as soon as possible to see if the factory is hiring." Jia Dongxu thought about it and felt that it was not a good idea for his wife to live in the kitchen.

I'll go back and ask the logistics department if they can introduce someone to the factory. Now that the factory is going to expand, the corresponding logistics staff must also be increased.

"Really? Then I'll wait for your news." Qin Huairu said happily. If she also went to the city, life at home would be much easier, and she wouldn't have to rely on the fields all the time.

"Jia Village is just ahead." Qin Huairu said as he jumped off the bicycle and walked to the village entrance.

"Jia Dongxu, we will go to the village chief's house in Jiajia Village and ask where your father is buried. We will go there directly and will not look for your second uncle." Qin Huairu led the way.

"Okay." Jia Dongxu pushed the cart and followed Qin Huairu.

There was a tree at the entrance of the village. A few people were smoking and chatting. They saw a strange girl coming into the village, followed by a young man who looked like he was from the city. They went up to her and stopped her and asked who she was looking for.

Qin Huairu blushed and pointed at Jia Dongxu and said, "He left your village. We came here to find the village chief."

When Jia Dongxu saw this, he quickly took out cigarettes and handed one to each of them.

"Whose child are you? I've never seen him before." A man who looked a bit older asked as he took the cigarette.

"My father is Jia Xingye. I came here to fix up my father's grave." Jia Dongxu said, "Uncles, do you know where my father is buried? I'm at work now, so I came back to take a look."

The man muttered, "You are from the Xingye family. Your mother is Zhang Cuihua, so you must be Dongxu. Haha, I haven't seen you for four or five years. You have grown so big. Come on, I'll take you there."

"By the way, you can just call me uncle." Uncle Jia said and looked at Qin Huairu.

"Dongxu, is the girl next to you your wife?"

Jia Dongxu looked at Qin Huairu and laughed, "Yes, she is my future daughter-in-law. Bring her here for my dad to see."

"Good, this girl can obviously give birth to a child. You are so lucky." Uncle Jia led the two of them towards a hillside.

"Dongxu, all the people in our Jiajia Village are buried here. If you don't know, you won't be able to find the place. You were only in your teens back then, and I guess you can't find the place now."

"Uncle, my mother is still worried that my second uncle will use my father's grave to grow crops." Jia Dongxu said, pushing his bicycle and following.

"Nonsense, Jia Jiye drove you and your mother out of the village, and he was scolded so much that he couldn't even raise his head. If he dares to touch this grave, we will beat him to death."

Uncle Jia pointed to a much lower mound and said, "This is your father's grave. You haven't been back in the past few years, and no one has taken care of it."

Jia Dongxu quickly put his bicycle away and reached out to pull the grass on the small mound. Qin Huairu stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, you've never done this before, don't cut your hands. Chat with your uncle and I'll do it."

Qin Huairu used a shovel to shovel the weeds and cleaned up the small pile of dirt. Then she looked around and saw a pit. She asked, "Uncle, if we dig the dirt, should we dig beside that pit?"

"Yes, just dig around the pit." The uncle said, watching Qin Huairu digging a full shovel of soil and walking towards Jia Jiye's grave.

"Give it to me, I'll do it!" When Jia Dongxu saw it, he hurried forward to take the shovel.

"No need. Your hands are delicate and you don't know how to use a shovel. You will get blisters from it." Qin Huairu said as she piled the soil on the grave.

Seeing that he couldn't snatch the shovel from Qin Huairu's hand, Jia Dongxu said quickly, "Okay, I'll watch you do it first, and when you get tired, I'll do it."

"Uncle, how is my second uncle's family doing now?" Jia Dongxu saw Uncle Jia watching from the side and didn't know what to say, so he asked.

"Your second uncle's family, huh, he married a wife and had two sons." Uncle Jia said.

"You, don't bother with their family, and don't cause trouble for your family." Uncle Jia said.

"Oh, uncle, I haven't been back for years and I don't remember." Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Uncle Jia had finished his cigarette, he hurriedly took out another cigarette and handed it to him.

It seems that my second uncle's family is quite unwelcome in the village.

"Yes, your second uncle is a man who never gets enough of taking advantage of others. When farming, he would even go to the neighboring fields to dig up some land for his own, and he would even dig up the path next to the field to plant crops."

Uncle Jia looked at Qin Huairu who was standing beside him and said, "Dongxu, where is your wife from? Judging from her clothes, she is from our area. She works very skillfully. I have never seen her before."

"She is the daughter of Qin Dazhuang from Qinjia Village." Jia Dongxu said and smiled at Qin Huairu. The girl was digging with a shovel and she was getting more and more excited.

"Oh, the daughter of the eldest son of the Qin family, she is so pretty, comparable to your mother." Uncle Jia said with a smile, looking at the gradually rising grave, "Xingye was a blessed child, but his life was too short."

At this time, a middle-aged man came over and saw Jia Dongxu. He said with an unhappy look on his face, "Who asked you to come back?"

Hmm? Who is this person? Do you know me? Jia Dongxu looked at the man in confusion, "Who are you?"

Uncle Jia coughed and said, "Dongxu, he is Jia Jiye. I guess someone told him about your search for Xingye's tomb."

Jia Dongxu looked at the angry Jia Jiye and said, "I came to see my father. Is it your business?"

"Jia Village doesn't welcome you, leave now if you have nothing to do." Jia Jiye said, "If you don't leave, I'll beat you up."

When Qin Huairu heard that the man was Jia Jiye, she quickly came over with a shovel and said, "We are here to take back Dongxu's house and land."

"What did you say?" Jia Jiye stared at Qin Huairu and said.
