Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Let's go eat. My mother-in-law has prepared dinner." Jia Dongxu said, looking at Jia Zhenye, "Are you guys going to continue working here or go back to eat?"

"Let's eat. We've worked for the whole morning. Let's continue in the afternoon." Jia Zhenye followed Jia Dongxu.

After a while, Qin Dahe and his men came over from the front, "Dongxu, I heard from your mother that you were here, come and see."

"Second uncle, let's go and eat first and talk later." Jia Dongxu stepped forward and called Yu Yan who was watching the wall being built.

"Political Commissar Yu, let's go and have dinner first."

Wang Tongming asked Yu Yan from the side, "Old woman, do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand. I'll come back and take a look. This method is not bad." Yu Yan patted the wall, which was quite thick.

"Let's go to Jia Dongxu's father-in-law's house and have a drink." Wang Tongming said with a smile.

"Second uncle, how much land can we get if this mountain is opened up?" Jia Dongxu walked forward and asked Qin Dahe beside him.

"About 50 acres. We plan to turn all of them into greenhouses. Then both villages will provide people to work, and the income will be divided according to the number of people who contribute." Qin Dahe said with a smile.

"That's great. In this way, these lands can not only be used for steel mills, but also for other factories." Jia Dongxu said on the side.

"What do you mean by supplying other factories? These vegetables won't be enough for our factory." Wang Tongming heard this in front and turned around and said, "I plan to build the steel rolling mill into a factory with 10,000 employees."

"No, Lao Wang, are you playing such a big game?" Yu Yan said from the side.

"Why, do you want to join us?" Wang Tongming said with a smile, "How about applying?"

"I do want to go, but if I go, won't people call me a deserter? I can't afford to lose face like that." Yu Yan glanced at Wang Tongming.

"Okay, I knew you wouldn't want to part with this outfit." Wang Tongming said, glancing at Yu Yan, "How are you doing over there now?"

"Everything is difficult at the beginning, but we lack people with ideas." Yu Yan looked at Jia Dongxu behind him, "That kid has a good idea, how about lending him to me for a few years?"

"It's not impossible. He is just a commoner now. How can you let him in?" Wang Tongming looked at Yu Yan.

Yu Yan thought for a moment and said, "I'll apply to hire him as a consultant for the 321 Farm, so he can come here."

Wang Tongming glanced at Yu Yan, knowing that his partner must have encountered many problems. He nodded and said, "Okay, go ahead. How about I go talk to the old leader and ask him to take you to the old political commissar to get some advice?"

"Haha, okay, it's settled. I'll write the application today and submit it tomorrow, and you go find my old leader for me tomorrow." Yu Yan laughed on the side.

Wang Tongming nodded, "Then I have to urge him to quickly submit an application to the organization and enter the preparatory stage as soon as possible."

"Well, once his application is approved, you can lend it to me for a week so I can solve my problem." Yu Yan said with a sigh.

"What problem did you encounter?" Wang Tongming asked puzzledly.

"Our dormitory has not been built yet, and the comrades are not very enthusiastic." Yu Yan said, rubbing his hands. In a few months, winter will come, and it will be even more difficult then.

"Okay, go ask Dongxu later, I won't worry about you anymore." Wang Tongming looked around the village, "We'll eat their food later, you can bring it back to us later."

Yu Yan couldn't help but curse, "Bah, why didn't you send it from the steel mill? You're going to have 1 employees, and you've become a wealthy landlord. Now you're being stingy."

"I don't have anything else except those few people. Oh, by the way, Lao Wang, can you ask your steel mill to produce a batch of shovels for me?"

"Look, you said I was stingy, but now you're starving?" Wang Tongming said with a smile, "I can find a way to help you with the shovel, but you have to help me with something."

"What's the matter? Tell me." Yu Yan said.

Wang Tongming smiled and said, "Do you raise livestock here? Ask for more and give some to the village to raise. Then our factory will take it."

"I don't even have a snake sign now, and you're considering so much?" Yu Yan said angrily.

"Are you still worried that you won't be able to solve these problems after that guy leaves?" Wang Tongming said, "When I go back today, I'll urgently arrange for someone to make you a shovel, okay?"

"Okay, let's start with 500." Yu Yan said, "Is that okay?"

"The shovel is fine, but the shovel handle is not. Our factory doesn't have that." Wang Tongming said, "You can arrange for someone to go to the mountains to cut the wood first."

"Okay, hurry up. We only have a few dozen shovels. It's too much trouble." Yu Yan complained, "I'll have someone send the funds to your factory later."

Seeing that Wang Tongming and Yu Yan were chatting about something, Jia Dongxu, Qin Dahe and others followed not far behind them.

After seeing the two finish their conversation, Jia Dongxu hurried over to lead the way.

The only meat dish at noon was stewed rabbit. Wang Tongming and Yu Yan were old friends reuniting, and they were drinking wine together.

After finishing his meal, Jia Dongxu pulled Jia Zhenye aside and said, "Second uncle, the day before yesterday I asked Sister Big Girl to help me find a date for my neighbor. How is he doing now?"

"Oh, so urgent? Then you wait, I'll ask the eldest girl to take the eldest daughter of the fourth brother's family to go there." Jia Zhenye thought for a while and said, "Is it the restaurant where we went to eat last time?"

Jia Dongxu nodded. He remembered the one the fourth brother mentioned last time. He was the third daughter in the family.

"Second uncle, how is Fourth Uncle's family? Please don't find an unreliable home for my brother."

"Bah, what nonsense are you talking about, kid? I'm telling you in secret, your father-in-law's family is also asking about the fourth child." Jia Zhenye glanced at Jia Dongxu, "However, I still think that our girl should go to the city."

"No, second uncle, what makes you think that the ones in the city are better than those in the countryside?" Jia Dongxu said dissatisfiedly, "Take the ones in our courtyard for example, every one of them is crooked."

"If you think this way, you are harming the sisters in our village."

"I think you're doing fine, aren't you?" Jia Zhenye said to Jia Dongxu with a smile, "Now it's enough to have enough food and a good place to live. There's no need to worry about so many things."

"I can't explain this to you in a few words." Jia Dongxu thought for a while and said, "Anyway, I don't agree to go to the city unless it's someone I introduce. If I just find someone randomly, it will harm them."

"Besides, our two villages will soon become prosperous and our lives will be much better. We don't have to go to the city."

"Really? I feel relieved when you say that." Jia Zhenye said with a smile, "I'll ask the girl to bring the person over in a few days."
