Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"I'm here, cooking for the chefs." Sha Zhu came from the kitchen with a smile.

"Is there anything to eat? I'm starving." Jia Dongxu didn't eat well in the two days he spent at the pig farm.

"Come over and eat, make room for the female comrades." Sha Zhu said in the kitchen.

After greeting a few people, Jia Dongxu went to the kitchen and took the dishes and Sanhe steamed buns handed to him by Sha Zhu.

"How come you can make three-in-one steamed buns?"

Jia Dongxu asked after taking a bite.

"Oh, Daya said that we should live frugally and just make three-in-one steamed buns when cooking." Sha Zhu said happily and looked outside.

"Daya? How is it?" Jia Dongxu didn't care anymore. When he was hungry, anything tasted delicious.

Jia Dongxu felt very satisfied after eating the dishes made by Sha Zhu. After eating them all in one breath, Jia Dongxu touched his stomach and felt relieved.

"It's good, I think it's good." Sha Zhu said, serving a bowl of soup to Jia Dongxu.

"Zhu Zi, when did she come?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"I came here the day before yesterday afternoon and am staying at your house." Sha Zhu said, glancing at Jia Dongxu.

"She has nowhere to go after coming to the city." Sha Zhu said quickly, worried that Jia Dongxu would have an opinion.

Seeing Sha Zhu's look, Jia Dongxu shook his head. It seemed that Sha Zhu was quite satisfied with this Daya.

"It's okay. I'll call her fourth uncle too."

"By the way, are the Sanhe steamed buns made today?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"Well, this is what we had for lunch today." Sha Zhu said with a smile, "You know what, it tastes pretty good when eaten with other dishes."

Jia Dongxu couldn't help but get a little angry after hearing this. What if you think it tastes good but the people who work for your family think it doesn't?

"By the way, Zhuzi, I don't like eating Sanheman, so don't make it in the future. We are not so poor that we can't afford to eat." Jia Dongxu said, "Why don't we just make some white flour buns."

"Okay, good. I'll steam some white flour buns for you later." Sha Zhu said, "Do you think there's any problem?"

"It's okay. Master Lei and the others are building a house for your family. You can't treat them unfairly on these small things." Jia Dongxu said, and went out to take a look at Shazhi's house, where tiles were already being laid.

When I looked at the door, I saw that Liu Haizhong's wife had found two people from somewhere and was repairing a house on the empty space at the back of the building.

Seeing Jia Dongxu coming, he hurried over.

"Dongxu, I'll build the house first and let Guangqi live here."

Jia Dongxu had no objection. He said that only those who guard the door could live in the house. If they didn't, the street office would take the house away.

Jia Dongxu nodded, "Are there any strangers coming in now?"

"Well, two girls came in and they are looking for your family." said the wife of Liu Haizhong.

"Oh, my relatives. By the way, if you are free at the weekend, come to my house for a wedding banquet," said Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu didn’t know whether Liu Haizhong would come back or not, so he decided to invite him first. Last time he asked for 200 yuan from him, which must have made him very angry.

After Jia Dongxu finished chatting and saw that there were no problems, he came to his door, where Jia Zhang was preparing food.

"Dongxu, I bought the food. Let's arrange a table for Master Lei and his friends."

"Okay, it's my duty. After he built the house for us, good things happened to our family one after another. We should thank them." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"You're too polite, Chief Jia. It's your own ability." Master Lei came over and said with his men.

"Master Lei, I'm not wrong. The first day you built the house for my family was my first day at work. Have you seen the changes in my house now?" Jia Dongxu said as he sat down at the table with several others.

"Zhu Zi, where's the wine? Bring it in." Jia Dongxu said, glancing at Sha Zhu.

"Here I am." Sha Zhu came over with a bottle of wine.

Seeing that there was only one meat dish on the table, Jia Dongxu's eyes narrowed and he didn't say much.

I quickly filled up Master Lei's glasses and said, "Master Lei, that's it for today. Tomorrow night, when you're done with your work, come and have a wedding banquet at my place. I'll toast you again during the meal. We've agreed that you don't have to contribute."

After they finished eating, Jia Dongxu sent Master Lei out of the yard. Jia Dongxu could see that they did not eat well.

Jia Dongxu entered the room and said, "Zhu Zi, the masters smoked at noon and drank at night. We agreed on this. Why didn't they serve the wine today?"

"I forgot." said Sha Zhu.

"You're out of wine, right?" Seeing Sha Zhu didn't say anything, "You're out of money?"

"Yes." said Sha Zhu.

Jia Dongxu nodded and said, "Take it out and let me see it."

Sha Zhu was stunned for a long time, but didn't take out the money.

"what happened?"

Seeing Sha Zhu hesitating aside, Jia Dongxu hurriedly asked.

"I gave that to Daya." said Sha Zhu.

"You haven't even gotten married yet, and she's already taken your money?" Jia Dongxu said.

Sha Zhu nodded, "Yes, he said he was afraid that I would spend money recklessly, so he took the money away."

"Does your sister-in-law know that she took your money?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "I don't know. I didn't tell you."

"Who bought the dishes these days?" Jia Dongxu asked. There were two fewer meat dishes on the table today, only one meat dish, and three vegetarian dishes.

"Daya bought it." Sha Zhu said, "She said last night that I don't know how to manage the household and that I spent too much money, so she took the money away."

"Alas." Jia Dongxu sighed, "Don't tell her what I put on the beam in my room."

"Okay." Sha Zhu nodded quickly in agreement.

It seems that I have a different understanding of what Jia Zhenye and others think is good. If I continue like this, Sha Zhu will probably end up living like the stingy old Yan.

"Zhu Zi, when Master Lei and his men were building the house, they provided three meat dishes and three vegetable dishes, plus one meal of wine, and they couldn't stop smoking. Did you know about this?"

"I know. I talked to Daya about it, and she said it's not necessary. It's enough to be full. Why bother to pick so much?" Sha Zhu said from the side.

Jia Dongxu smiled and said, "Well, didn't she also say that you bought all the food for us?"

"You mentioned it, but I didn't listen." Sha Zhu said happily, still waiting to hear Jia Dongxu's praise.

Well, it seems like a younger version of Jia Zhang.

I looked at Sha Zhu and couldn't help but sigh. This guy will suffer in the future. He makes a lot of money, but lives like a disaster victim.

Jia Dongxu took out a cigarette and handed it over, and Sha Zhu quickly took it and lit it.

"Why, you're not allowed to smoke?"

Sha Zhu took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Haha, she thought I was wasting my money on fireworks, so she asked me to smoke welding cigarettes. Welding cigarettes are embarrassing, so I stopped smoking."

Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth and said, "Zhu Zi, tell me the truth. Do you like her? If not, let's send her back."

I would feel sad to see my brother living a life like neither human nor ghost in the future.

"How about we go about it again?" Sha Zhu said hesitantly.

"What the hell are you doing?" Jia Dongxu suddenly shouted, "Look at what you've become. You're only seventeen, but you're living the life of a sixty- or seventy-year-old."

"Huai Ru, Huai Ru, please come down for a moment."
