Siheyuan: The Rebirth of the Silly Pillar in the 50s

Chapter 24 Yi Zhonghai prepares for pregnancy

Jia Dongxu returned home and sat slumped on a stool.

My sleepy neck couldn't support my head, and it couldn't stop drooping.

Jia Zhang slept until the sun was shining brightly. When she opened her eyes and saw Jia Dongxu sitting in the room, she was so frightened that she suddenly woke up.

"Dongxu, when did you come back? What did you do last night?"

"I...I...yesterday..."

Jia Dongxu hesitated for a long time and couldn't say anything.

Jia Zhang didn't bother to ask.

"Have you bought any gifts? When are you going to give gifts to Yi Zhonghai?"

Jia Dongxu was so frightened by these words that he suddenly woke up.

He played cards all night last night and could have won.

As a result, all the money was lost in the end.

Not only was all the five hundred yuan gone, but he also owed Big Monster Li a thousand yuan.

Jia Zhang also urged herself to give gifts.

What is he buying a gift for?

"I'm asking you a question, why don't you say anything?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang gradually became irritable.

"Buy, buy it."

Jia Dongxu lied and said, "I'm about to go. If I'm not ready, I'll go now."

After that, he ran out of the house.

Jia Dong Xuguang thought about running away, but he didn't think about what he should do.

He dragged his tired body around the compound over and over again.

He knew that giving gifts to Yi Zhonghai was very important to their family.

His father's pension has been almost spent.

Seeing that the house is about to be empty.

If he doesn't go to work, he and his mother will starve to death.

The key is that he is twenty years old and he is old enough to marry a wife.

But he doesn't even have a job, so whose girl would be willing to follow him.

Then again, to find a job, you have to go through Yi Zhonghai.

If you want to pass Yi Zhonghai, you have to give gifts.

Giving gifts requires money.

But all the money has been lost by himself.

Now it's okay, it's straight into an endless loop.

Jia Dongxu slapped his head in annoyance. His mind was filled with thoughts of yesterday's last card.

Why didn't I expect that the previous family would be all dedicated to the five remaining tracts?

Why did he choose to play that five-piece card?

If he hadn't played that five-piece, he wouldn't have lost so miserably.

Thinking and walking.

Jia Dongxu walked to the front yard and passed by the door of Yan Bugui's house. When he saw the potted flowers he had raised, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Who stipulates that giving gifts requires giving cigarettes and alcohol?

There’s nothing wrong with sending flowers!

If you say some auspicious words, it will definitely be done!

Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu decided to fight for his future.

He carefully looked around and saw no one. Then he stretched his neck and looked inside the house. Through the glass, it seemed that no one was in the living room.

Opportunities come sooner rather than later.

Jia Dongxu took a deep breath to embolden himself.

Then he sprinted at a speed of [-] meters and ran away holding a pot of money tree.

As he ran, he looked back guiltily and found that no one was following him, so he slowed down boldly.

After tidying up her hair, she walked into the courtyard.

Knocked on Yi Zhonghai's door.

Yi Zhonghai was enjoying breakfast when he heard a knock on the door and turned around subconsciously.

"Who?"

"It's me, Dongxu. Uncle Yi, I have something to ask you."

Yi Zhonghai was surprised. He didn't have much contact with the Jia family, so why did Jia Dongxu come to visit?

"It's better to go and have a look, Lao Yi. You have become the third representative. It is not good for the neighbors to come to you and close the door behind you when they have something to do."

Gao Xiaocui reminded.

Only then did Yi Zhonghai get up and open the door.

Seeing Jia Dongxu standing at the door holding a pot of money tree, he was stunned for a moment.

"Uncle Yi..."

Jia Dongxu smiled, raised the money tree and handed it to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai didn't move.

He asked coldly: "Dongxu, what do you want to do?"

"Uncle Yi, I want to become your disciple. I will work as a worker in the steel rolling mill. I carefully selected this potted flower. Please accept it!"

After saying that, Jia Dongxu bowed deeply to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai still didn't move.

The main reason is that this potted flower looks familiar to him.

But I can’t remember where I’ve seen it.

He wouldn't dare accept something of unknown origin.

So he found an excuse and said: "Dongxu, I won't accept the gift. The steel rolling mill will recruit workers in July. If you want to be a worker, you can go and participate. You also know that I am just a worker." Intermediate fitters don’t have much decision-making power in the factory.”

Jia Dongxu was rejected.

It's a little embarrassing.

"Uncle Yi, as long as you let me follow you, I will do anything. Let me tell the truth. Of all the people in our compound, I admire you the most. Just accept me as your apprentice."

"Dongxu. Don't embarrass me. You are not a worker and I can't accept you as an apprentice. When we recruit workers in July, you can try it first. Can we wait until you enter the factory to accept an apprentice?"

Yi Zhonghai has clearly refused.

Jia Dongxu is not the kind of person who doesn't know what to do.

When he couldn't get the result, he could only say: "Okay, Uncle Yi. Then I'll find you when I enter the factory. I'll leave first, Uncle Yi."

After that, Jia Dongxu turned around and left without even saying goodbye.

Yi Zhonghai shook his head looking at his rude behavior.

In the room, Gao Xiaocui asked: "Lao Yi, why did Dongxu come to see you?"

"He gave me a pot of money tree and asked me to accept him as his apprentice. I refused."

"Our family doesn't have much contact with their family, right? How could he come here so well and ask you to accept him as your apprentice?"

"I guess it was ordered by Jia Zhang."

Yi Zhonghai thought of the pot of money tree again and said, "But the money tree he gave me looked familiar to me. It felt like I had seen it in our compound."

"I remembered! Didn't Lao Yan just pick up a pot of money tree two days ago? He also came all over the yard talking!"

Gao Xiaocui's words made Yi Zhonghai's heart tighten even more.

He thought, if it was really Yan Bugui's money tree.

Fortunately, I didn't accept it.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to explain himself when Yan Bugui came to his door.

And Jia Dongxu is really funny.

He actually took other people's flowers and gave them to himself.

what is this?

Borrowing flowers to offer Buddha.

Can what is borrowed and what is stolen be the same?

Yi Zhonghai couldn't afford to accept this kind of apprentice.

Forget it.

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to think about it anymore. He pushed a bowl of black medicinal soup in front of him to Gao Xiaocui and said, "Drink the medicine quickly. I heard others said that you should drink this medicine three times a day without losing it once. Drink it." After one course of treatment, we will probably be able to conceive a child."

Gao Xiaocui looked at this bowl of dark medicinal soup and found it hard to swallow.

But she thought about having a child with Yi Zhonghai.

I could only hold my nose and drink the medicine in the bowl.

Jia Dongxu went out, holding the money tree confiscated by Yi Zhonghai.

He didn't dare to throw it away, so he could only put the money tree back in front of Yan Bugui's house while no one was around.

But this time he didn't survey the situation well, and Yang Ruihua happened to be in the living room.

I heard furtive footsteps in the yard.

He was so frightened that he asked loudly: "Who is it? Who is outside!"

Jia Dongxu was so frightened that he let go of the flower pot and ran out.

But the two actions were performed at the same time, and I couldn't care less about running than putting the flower pot.

Click!

The flowerpot shattered to the ground!
