Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"What? You don't want to give me the money?" Jia Zhang asked with a dark face. This son has forgotten his mother after getting married.

"I'll give you 1 yuan pocket money a month, don't worry about the rest."

"Oh, by the way, take the 10 yuan per month for Yu Shui and Zhu Zi. If the old lady behind you gives you money, you can take it yourself. I don't care how much it is. That's what you promised."

"If you calculate it roughly, you make quite a bit of money every month. Do you want to give us some?"

Jia Zhang suddenly said, "Bah, don't even think about it. I worked so hard to earn it, why should I give it to you?"

Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhang without saying anything, just looking at him with a smile.

Jia Zhang realized what she had just said and quickly said, "It's not that you are all young and don't know how to manage accounts..."

"Who told you that we don't know how to do accounting?" Jia Dongxu said, "You think our factory leader is blind? I am a section chief, and you can do the calculations clearly. Why shouldn't I understand?"

Seeing that Jia Zhang was about to say something, Jia Dongxu quickly said, "Okay, it's settled. It's getting late, and Yu Shui has to go to school tomorrow. You should take her to bed early."

At this time, Qin Huairu came over and said, "Dongxu, how do you talk to mom? Mom has been in charge of the accounts for a lifetime, and you still don't understand? Let's just give the money to mom."

"Forget it. If I give it to her, I won't be able to use the money anymore. I have to ask him for money every time." Jia Dongxu said and walked away.

If I really give her this, we will have a hard time living in the future. All the expenses of the family will depend on her mood.

Jia Zhang cried and complained to Qin Huairu in the house, talking about how difficult it was for him.

Qin Huairu was unhappy when she heard that Jia Zhangshi's income was about 18 yuan each. This mother-in-law wanted to take the family's money now that she had money.

I think what Jia Dongxu said is right. Now this mother-in-law is obviously a little greedy. If it continues in the future, I don't know how she will control the two of us.

After listening for a while, seeing that Jia Zhang was still talking, she looked at the sky and said she wanted to take a hot bath.

Jia Dongxu was smoking outside. When he heard that water needed to be boiled for a bath, he felt a little uncomfortable and hurried in to fetch water from the pressurized well.

After cleaning the pot, I poured the water into it and went outside to find some wood to make a fire and boil the water.

The firewood that was originally moved outside for building the house has been piled up in the kitchen. It seems that Jia Zhang has not been idle these days.

Jia Dongxu saw that Yu Shui was a little sleepy, so he asked Qin Huairu to help Yu Shui wash up and let her go to bed.

When Jia Zhang saw Jia Dongxu's look, she snorted and followed the rain.

"Hey, you already have a daughter-in-law, but you still don't care about hygiene?" Jia Dongxu shouted from behind, and hurriedly ran outside to get Jia Zhang's basin, filled it with water and brought it to the rainwater room.

"Dongxu, do you dislike your mother?" Jia Zhang asked in the rain room.

"Don't mind. Don't think too much. Just listen to me in this family. Don't get involved." Jia Dongxu said as he put the basin down.

It seemed that Mrs. Jia Zhang was back to her old ways today. If she were really his son Jia Dongxu, she would probably give in according to her usual personality.

He shook his head and went back to add more water to the pot.

Sha Zhu also went out when he sent Yu Shui to bed, and now only Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were left in the room.

"Dongxu, is it right or wrong to do this today?" Qin Huairu said from the side.

"Oh, it's nothing. If you want to live in peace and comfort, you have to make things clear at once, otherwise you will quarrel every day."

Jia Dongxu said, looking at Qin Huairu, "Did you bring clothes?"

Qin Huairu said with a red face that she had brought it, and then ran out, apparently to get clothes.

Seeing that the water had boiled and Qin Huairu had not come back yet, Jia Dongxu decided to take a bath first. He adjusted the water temperature in a wooden bucket and went in to take a bath.

Alas, life is so difficult without getting wet in the rain and without even a pair of slippers.

After taking a shower, I looked at the towel.

Well, this girl probably doesn’t even have a towel.

Forget it, I'll clean it with soap and let her use it once. I'll buy a new one tomorrow.

I thought about washing it with hot water and soap in a wooden bucket. Fortunately, I had washed it a few days ago, otherwise it would have been pitch black.

Qin Huairu might have been chatting with Jia Zhang for a while over there, and she ran over with clothes in her arms, her face red.

Seeing Qin Huairu coming back, Jia Dongxu quickly fetched some water and brought it over.

"Let's go to the bathroom and take a shower." Jia Dongxu said, kicking the bucket in.

"This towel is mine. I just washed it with hot water and soap. You can use it for now. We will buy a new one tomorrow."

Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't move, Jia Dongxu suddenly realized that the door had not been installed yet.

"Wait a moment, I'll make a curtain."

Jia Dongxu ran to the second floor, took the bed sheet that was spread on the straw mat, and used a wooden stick to fix it to the door frame to build a simple door.

"Okay, go in."

Worried about the darkness, he brought a kerosene lamp inside, "so it won't be dark."

Qin Huairu glanced at Jia Dongxu and went in to take a shower with a blushing face.

"There is still a lot of water outside. If you want to change the water, just put the bucket outside and I will carry it to you." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Yeah." A mosquito-like answer came from the bathroom.

After a while, Jia Dongxu saw water dripping from an empty bucket, so he hurried to fill it with water, adjusted the water temperature and handed it over.

After doing this several times, Qin Huairu came out of the shower.

After Jia Dongxu took a look, he couldn't take his eyes off it and kept staring at it.

"Don't look!" Qin Huairu said, holding the clothes she had taken off.

Jia Dongxu took off the quilt cover and put it outside to dry. It was covered with moisture, but the weather was dry now, so it would dry in a short while.

"Your hair is wet. Wait until it dries before going to bed." Jia Dongxu also brought over the clothes he had just taken off.

He picked up the backpack and put it outside, then took the two people's clothes outside to wash.

Qin Huairu saw it and hurried over, "You take a rest, I'll wash it."

After washing the clothes for a while, Qin Huairu looked around for things to wash.

"Do you want to wash clothes all night?" Jia Dongxu asked with a smile.

"It's still early." Qin Huairu said in a low voice.

"Haha, it's getting late. I'll brush my teeth first." Jia Dongxu said, and went outside to get water with his toothbrush to brush his teeth.

Passing by Qin Huairu, he said, "Oh, I forgot to buy a toothbrush today. I'll buy it for you tomorrow."

After brushing my teeth, I saw Qin Huairu standing at the door, not daring to come in.

"Oh, it's late. I won't be able to get up tomorrow."

"My hair isn't dry yet." Qin Huairu pointed at her hair.

"Come, let me help you."

Jia Dongxu took the towel and helped wipe it.

Then wring out the water and continue wiping.

"Let's buy an extra towel tomorrow, just for you to wipe your hair."
