Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Okay, that's great! Thank you, Dongxu, you're better than my real dad!"

Sha Zhu said happily, took out 100 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Jia Dongxu, "Here, my dad gave it to me today."

"Okay, I still have your 113 yuan, which is enough for you to build a house." Jia Dongxu put the money away, "Don't talk nonsense, the money for building a house was given to you by your father."

"Your master and his friends borrowed money from you. Go pay it back tomorrow and tell them that your father has given you the money."

At this time, Jia Zhang came out from the bedroom on the first floor, "What do you mean by enough? Zhuzi, Master Lei and his family still don't have money for their daily meals."

Jia Dongxu handed over 13 yuan and said, "Mom, you can make do with this for a few days. I'll have more money when Zhuzi's expenses are paid."

"Alright, alright, finish your work quickly and let Zhuzi manage his own money. It's not a good idea for you to manage his money for him."

Jia Zhang took the money and said to Jia Dongxu.

"Oh, I get it. It's just this time. I won't be in charge of it anymore in the future." Jia Dongxu said quickly. It was indeed not good to manage money for others.

"Zhu Zi, go and have a rest first, and come with me to the factory tomorrow."

"Oh, okay." Shazhu went upstairs happily.

Jia Dongxu looked at Sha Zhu speechlessly. It was true that fools have good luck. All his efforts were not as good as letting this guy cook a meal.

Fortunately, less than half a month had passed, and I thought things would get better and better. Looking upstairs, Jia Dongxu felt excited and took his toothbrush to go outside to brush his teeth.

……

Fortunately, Qin Huairu was reminded, and the next morning Jia Dongxu got up, rubbing his waist.

The two men got out of bed and saw Jia Zhang looking at them with a half-smile on her face. Jia Dongxu was stunned.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Jia Dongxu said.

Jia Zhang waved her hand and said, "Go, go, go, wash up and go to work. I'll go buy some beef bones today and ask Zhuzi to cook it."

Then he went over and chatted with Qin Huairu.

"What are you doing so early in the morning?" Jia Dongxu looked at the two people muttering at the stairs speechlessly.

"Zhu Zi, take Yu Shui to have breakfast quickly, we'll leave soon." Jia Dongxu shouted at the bathroom door.

While they were having breakfast, Yu Shui said, "Brother Dong Xu, there were cats fighting outside last night and they woke me up."

"Okay, there will be no more rain in the future." Jia Zhang gave Jia Dongxu a blank look.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu was about to speak, he quickly said, "Zhu Zi, your sister-in-law and I will go buy some cloth and make two sets of clothes for Yu Shui. The clothes of this girl look too small."

Rainy days are the time for growth. When He Daqing was around, life was good. Now I am with Jia Jia. In the past ten days, I have eaten well every day and my height has started to grow.

Sha Zhu quickly took out a few dollars from his pocket and handed it over, "Aunt Jia, please help me make a set of clothes. These extra few cents will be my reward for your hard work."

"Pah, labor fee? This little money is not even enough to cover the labor costs." Jia Zhang took it and said, "I will give the money to those aunts later and let them discuss the matter. They also have time. When the time comes, let them give some cloth to make clothes for the children."

"Just consider it as building connections for you in the yard."

"Oh, Mom, you are so capable?" Jia Dongxu said while eating a cake. The pickled shredded radish that Sha Zhu had been making recently, paired with corn porridge and cakes, was simply amazing.

Jia Zhang pointed at Jia Dongxu angrily and said, "Eating won't stop you from talking. Your mother doesn't need this right now. If you can help her, please do so."

"Huai Ru, there is a good saying among scholars that wealth breeds conscience. Our mother's conscience is gradually growing." Jia Dongxu said, glancing at Jia Zhang, "I think mother can be the head of the courtyard now."

Jia Zhang was so amused that she spat out the porridge in her mouth, "Bah, you are always making fun of your mother. I don't know how much those families hate your mother now."

"Well, Mom, let's just do our own thing and ignore those people. They can't even figure out their own family affairs, and yet they're making trouble outside."

"Yushui, next time you come back, don't play with those kids. They are not from good families."

"Go away, what's your business? Yu Shui is very good. I watch her do her homework every day. Yu Shui said that she will buy me flowery clothes when I go to college."

Jia Zhang said with a smile, looking at the rain, this girl looks festive, and now she knows how to coax people by saying nice things.

"He is such a heartless person. He doesn't even think of buying flowery clothes for his brother Dongxu." Jia Dongxu muttered to himself, smiling at the rain beside him.

"If you want fancy clothes, let your own daughter buy them." Jia Zhang looked at Jia Dongxu and pointed at the door. "Put down the bowl right now and get out. You're making things difficult so early in the morning."

Picking up things really went to get a piece of cake to push the cart, Qin Huairu hurriedly said, "Dongxu, will you be back at noon today?"

"Ah? Come back if there's nothing to do at the factory." Jia Dongxu was waiting for Shazhu and Yushui at the door, while Jia Zhangshi hurried to the backyard to pick up the old lady to have breakfast.

Ever since Qin Huairu entered the courtyard, the old lady has been with several people during the day. She doesn't know what happened to Jia Zhang, but now the old lady is very proud to talk to her.

Seeing that Master Lei and his men were already building a wall, Jia Dongxu stepped forward and pointed at Yi Zhonghai's house and said, "Master Lei, this family also wants to build a house. They should come to you. Please arrange it for them."

Master Lei took a quick look and nodded, "Okay, thank you Chief Jia for giving us this job. It's already been scheduled for a month."

"It's all because of your good craftsmanship. Everyone likes it when they see it. By the way, Master Lei, take all these bricks away. Later, you can help transport them to Zhang Daniu and Wang Tongming's homes. They will also use these bricks to pave the floor."

Jia Dongxu pointed to the old bricks that had been cleaned up. These bricks looked really good.

"Okay, after the house here is renovated, we will move it over there and make room for it." Master Lei nodded. There is a reason why this young Jia has become the section chief at such a young age. Knowing that they liked it, he arranged to send it over without waiting for anyone to ask.

Anyway, we are the ones who transport these materials, so it’s not a big deal to make two trips. And if they don’t use all of them for paving the floor, we can take them home and use them for paving the floor ourselves.

"Everyone is really going to have a good year this year." Leshi and his co-worker said with a smile.

"Haha, thanks to your brother, there hasn't been continuous work like this year."

"Now that we have committed crimes against those two families, I think there will be more work. Everyone, do your job carefully." Master Lei said with a smile.

Jia Zhang was also in charge of the construction of the house. She smoked and drank all the time, and provided enough rice. Everyone had gained weight in the past few days.

I don't know what will happen to the family next door, so we have to have a good chat about it later. Section Chief Jia didn't say much, but we have to make the construction period, meals and so on clear in advance.
