Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

After a while, Yan Jiecheng came over and knocked on the door. "Aunt Jia, my dad said there's a meeting and asked everyone to gather in the front yard."

"Okay, I understand. You go and inform others first." Jia Zhang curled her lips. Instead of going out to make trouble, she had to waste her energy in this small piece of land.

My son is still the best, he is great wherever he goes!

Jia Zhang shouted downstairs, "Huai Ru, wake Dong Xu up for the meeting."

Seeing no one responded, he went upstairs.

Jia Zhang coughed at the turning of the stairs, afraid of disturbing the two people, and was about to knock on the door when she reached upstairs.

Qin Huairu opened the door sleepily, "Mom, I fell asleep."

Jia Zhang took a look and cursed Yan Bugui inwardly for being a good-for-nothing and making things difficult for others by holding a meeting in the middle of the night.

"Wake up Dongxu, he's going to the meeting."

Jia Zhang went down the stairs and went up the other side. "Zhu Zi, are you awake? You went to the meeting."

"Okay, Aunt Jia, I'll be right out." Sha Zhu came out wearing new shoes.

"Aunt Jia, these shoes are really nice!"

"It's fine as long as it's good. The clothes will be ready in two days. You will be even more beautiful then!"

Jia Zhang went downstairs and saw Qin Huairu pulling the sleepy Jia Dongxu out of the house.

"Dongxu, cheer up." Jia Zhang said, opened the door and went to the backyard.

Seeing that the old lady had fallen asleep, he went straight to the front yard.

Jia Dongxu and Qin Huai stood together, looking drowsily at the people coming into the yard.

Yan Bugui sat at a table in high spirits, waiting for everyone to gather.

Seeing that it was almost time, Yan Bugui cleared his throat and started speaking.

When Jia Dongxu saw this, he squeezed through the crowd and knocked on the table in dissatisfaction.

"Teacher Yan, have you forgotten the rules?"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment, looked at Jia Dongxu and said, "What's wrong with Dongxu?"

Jia Dongxu rubbed his head and turned to look at everyone. "I'm sorry to bother you all by calling you here today. Let's make it short."

"First of all, there is a house being built in the yard now, so everyone should keep an eye on their children and make sure they don't get bumped or hit."

"Second, if you want to build a house in the future, you can ask me to talk to the builder for you. I think you can get a cheaper price."

"Third, National Day is coming soon. Everyone should organize themselves as they did last year and wait for notification from the street. Those who have red flags at home can prepare them."

"Fourth, Mr. Yan has been appointed by the street director Ang as the caretaker of the courtyard, responsible for the management of people coming in and out. If there are strangers coming in and out in the future, everyone should cooperate with Mr. Yan."

After Jia Dongxu finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Yan Bugui who was sitting, frowning in dissatisfaction, "Teacher Yan, everyone is standing, why are you sitting?"

"Are you trying to create class antagonism?"

Yan Bugui stood up immediately after hearing this and said, "Hey, Dongxu, I'm not..."

Jia Dongxu interrupted him with a wave of his hand, "Alright, you are not allowed to sit in the backyard for a meeting. What a mess."

"If anyone has anything else you want to say, please raise your hand."

"Dongxu, I want to build a house." Yi Zhonghai's wife raised her hand and said.

After listening to this, Jia Dongxu nodded and finally found a way to pit Yi Zhonghai.

"Okay, let's talk to Master Lei who makes the pillars tomorrow. Including the pillars, there are already three companies that want to build, so we should have to wait for a month."

"Does anyone have anything else to do?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Seeing that no one spoke, Jia Dongxu spoke again, "Since everyone is free, I have something to say. This weekend, I would like to invite everyone to my and my wife's wedding wine."

When they heard that there was wedding wine to drink, everyone started applauding.

After everyone finished clapping, Jia Dongxu said, "Thank you for your hard work. Let's adjourn the meeting today and have a rest early."

Seeing that everyone was leaving one after another, Yan Bugui spoke and asked everyone to wait.

Jia Dongxu looked at Yan Bugui and said, "Teacher Yan, the meeting has ended. Do you have something to say? Why didn't you say anything when I asked if you had anything to say?"

Then he said to everyone, "Everyone go take a rest."

After everyone had left, Jia Dongxu looked at Yan Bugui, "Teacher Yan, what did you want to say just now?"

Yan Bugui looked at Jia Dongxu with dissatisfaction, "Dongxu, our hospital should emphasize unity and mutual assistance, and helping others. Why did you adjourn the meeting without even talking about these things?"

"Yan Bugui, do you know what you, as the manager, have to do?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"If I remember correctly, you were appointed as the manager to interrogate strangers and enemy agents who have infiltrated."

"What do the principles of solidarity and mutual assistance you mentioned have to do with you, an old man? Everyone should do their own job, don't cross the line."

Jia Dongxu knocked on the table and said, "You will report to me every day about the strangers who come and go."

Yan Bugui agreed reluctantly. He had originally wanted to take advantage of the meeting today to meet with a big shot in Dangshan.

I had originally been thinking about proposing mutual help, so that I could then ask everyone at the door to borrow some food or something.

Unexpectedly, Jia Dongxu took the lead and seized the opportunity.

It’s all because of this chair. Why do I want to sit on this chair today?

Jia Dongxu is such a jerk. He's a proper uncle, but he doesn't sit on the chair and starts talking to everyone while standing. Where does his dignity come from?

Forget it, forget it. I’ll go back today and come back to fight you next time when I’m ready.

But this guy is really good at winning people's hearts. He will invite everyone to a wedding banquet this weekend. Although you will have to give a few cents as a gift, you can eat your way back into the banquet.

I'll bring my whole family with me when the time comes!

"Dongxu, it's getting late. I'm going back first." Yan Bugui said as he started to move the table into the house.

Humph! You dare to snatch the right to speak from me even though you are so cowardly?

What does it mean to hold a meeting at your doorstep? You can't tell the difference between the big and small kings, right?

If you act so ignorantly again next time, don't blame me for being angry.

Jia Dong saw that Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang had already gone back, and Sha Zhu was smoking beside them.

"Zhu Zi, why don't you go back to sleep?" Jia Dongxu said, "Come on, go into the house and talk. I have something to talk to you about."

Jia Dongxu walked into the house first, "Zhu Zi, are you doing well in Fengze Garden?"

"It's not bad. The master sees that I have solid skills and wants me to be a chef." Sha Zhu said on the side.

"Well, there is something for you to consider. The factory asked me to ask you if you are interested in joining the steel rolling mill as deputy director." He continued to walk into the room and said while sitting at the table.

"Deputy Director? Me?" Sha Zhu pointed at himself in surprise.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "Well, the factory is expanding, and there will be small kitchens in the future. You will be in charge of the small kitchens then, and when the old director retires, you will take over."

"Do you want to do it?"

"Of course I did!" Sha Zhu said excitedly, "But, what about my master?"

"Your master is fine. You are only doing a job that is one level higher than an apprentice. I don't know how many years it will take for you to become a master chef."

"I believe your master would also like to see you join the factory as deputy director."

Jia Dongxu said, "Tomorrow morning, come with me to meet our director, and he will arrange the rest."
