Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

Jia Zhang pulled Qin Huairu into the house.

"My daughter, I don't even know your name. You said Xu is the same. He told me in a mysterious way that he found a wife, but he didn't even tell me her name."

Jia Zhang was the first to ask. This girl looked good. She looked capable and hardworking. She nodded with satisfaction.

"Mom, my name is Qin Huairu. I was wondering why Dongxu came to our village yesterday and said he wanted to marry me. I was shocked."

"I thought he was a liar, but I was relieved when I saw he was from Jia Village."

Qin Huairu said, looking at Jia Zhangshi, "Mom, we bought three feet of cloth today, planning to make clothes for Dongxu and you, and the rest of the cloth will make you a new set of clothes."

"You kid, you wear new clothes when you get married. Why would an old woman like me wear new clothes?"

"If there is any cloth left, make yourself another pair of shoes."

"That won't work. Dongxu will scold me later." Qin Huairu said.

"Why not? He talks about you, and I talk about him. Although he is the only man in our family, he still has to listen to me when it comes to housework."

As Jia Zhang spoke, she secretly looked at her daughter-in-law.

Seeing that she didn't seem to respond, Jia Zhang continued, "Huai Ru, how about we treat everyone in the courtyard to a meal on Sunday and you two get married?"

"Well, listen to mom." Qin Huairu said softly. This mother-in-law has a lot of ideas now, so she should observe them first.

After hearing what Qin Huairu said, Jia Zhang smiled so happily that her eyes shrank.

She took Qin Huairu's hand and said, "My daughter, Mom is free now, let's make clothes for you first."

Jia Zhang laughed. Her daughter-in-law performed well and seemed willing to listen to her. So she could continue to be the head of the family.

The two of them were happily in the living room, taking gray pens and scissors and starting to cut the cloth.

I have to say that both Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu are good at needlework.

Watching Qin Huairu threading the needle deftly and sewing the cloth she had drawn the lines and cut, Jia Zhang also started sewing.

It seems that the two of them want to compete with each other in this regard.

……

Thanks to Wang Tongming's massage, Jia Dongxu arrived at the factory at noon.

Jia Anguo had already returned to his office at the north gate. When he saw Jia Dongxu coming in, he greeted him and then listened to Lao Li introducing the factory.

Jia Dongxu was writing with a pen and rubbing his legs at the side.

According to Wang Tongming, training will start tomorrow, but if it is to be training, the personnel have to be allocated properly.

There are now 17 people in the security department, including myself as the chief, and there must be someone guarding the door during training.

It is necessary to arrange the training personnel and time, and train the night shift staff separately in turns.

After the preliminary writing was completed, Jia Dongxu asked Lao Li to call the other two secretaries to welcome Jia Anguo together.

By the way, the security department's training plan was arranged, and the training was led by Deputy Section Chief Jia Anguo.

After Jia Dongxu arranged the personnel training, he heard the lunch bell in the factory.

The Security Department’s lunch is brought back and eaten in the office, and everyone takes turns to get lunch.

But today is the eldest brother's first day, so Jia Dongxu asked Lao Li to call the three secretaries to have a meal together in the cafeteria, as a way of welcoming Jia Anguo to the company.

They were not familiar with each other, Jia Dongxu and Jia Anguo were walking in front.

"Brother, where is your house arranged?"

According to what Jia Anguo said, the place was in a yard not far from No. 95. There were fewer people in it, and they were said to have two large rooms.

"Brother, come to my house tonight?" Jia Dongxu said, "I don't know how Erzhu and the others have arranged it. I'll go find their director this afternoon."

Seeing Jia Anguo nodded expressionlessly, Jia Dongxu was speechless. Is his elder brother so serious?

It seems that I will have to complain to the director in the future.

Wang Tongming came back around three in the afternoon. When he came to the office at the north gate, he saw Jia Dongxu writing something and looked at him with resentment.

"Brother Wang, what's that look you give me? It makes me creepy." Jia Dongxu said.

"What are you writing?" Wang Tongming asked directly without responding to him.

"You, the great leader, have already started military training. I have to make a training schedule for the personnel." Jia Dongxu said ambiguously.

"Dongxu, speak properly." Jia Anguo said seriously from the side.

"Come, let me see it." Wang Tongming took the training list and said, "An Guo, we are not in the army now, so relax."

Then he threw a cigarette to Jia Anguo and lit it up and started smoking.

"Dongxu, is there anything wrong with this schedule?" Wang Tongming said, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

"Look at Instructor Jia Dongxu and Deputy Instructor Jia Anguo. Do you mean you can just watch them practice?"

"It seems you didn't listen to what I said this morning."

After listening to this, Jia Anguo looked at Jia Dongxu with eyes like knives, as if he was going to beat him if he couldn't explain clearly.

"Well, Chief, you see, now that my instructor is following along, won't everyone be more motivated?" Jia Dongxu said quickly. He really wanted to take a break.

"By the way, Director, if it's for training, I have some supplies requested here, please approve them."

Jia Dongxu took out the material application he had written, two sets of training uniforms per person, and 1 bullets per person per day.

Both the instructor and the deputy instructor were equipped with pistols and bullets.

Wang Tongming took the pen and signed his name quickly. "Just go to the logistics department to get it."

"Do we have guns and ammunition in the logistics department?"

Wang Tongming looked at Jia Dongxu like he was an idiot. "We are also an armed force. Is it surprising that we have guns and ammunition?"

Then he looked at Jia Anguo, "Anguo, figure out how to train them. The training content is up to you."

"Yes." Jia Anguo stood at attention and saluted.

"An Guo, relax, we are not in the army anymore." Wang Tongming waved his hand and said.

"Director, you just said that we are an armed force, so we must have discipline." Jia Anguo said seriously.

"Okay, then let's train in the formal way." Wang Tongming said, glanced at Jia Dongxu, then got up and left.

When Jia Dongxu saw this, he hurriedly followed.

Two people came to Wang Tongming's office.

"Xiao Jia, pour yourself some water and give me a glass too."

Wang Tongming lay down on his chair and said, "I went to Tong County today for your matter. Fortunately, the road is easy to travel, otherwise I would have run myself to death."

"Brother Wang, why don't we talk about a day and night of forced march now?" Jia Dongxu handed over the water.

"Did you bring me the piglets?"

"That's right. Sister Wang has a sister who is in charge of breeding over there. She got one for you."

"Let me go home?" he continued to ask.

"Where else can we put it if not in your home? If we put it in Sister Wang's yard, those two boys of hers will play with you to death." Wang Tongming smiled.

"The two boys from Sister Wang's family are even more naughty than those from my family."

"Thank you, Brother Wang. Let me give you a leg massage. It's thanks to you for making this trip." Jia Dongxu leaned over and said.
