Siheyuan: Liu Guangtian's happy life

Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e have been married for several days and are slowly becoming familiar with life in this slum.

It is said that the couple at Yi Zhonghai's house were having dinner and chatting, and they were talking about Lou Xiao'e, the daughter of a wealthy family.

They originally thought that the daughter of the Lou family would not be used to marrying into a courtyard house and would have a bad temper, but they didn't expect that this was not the case. When Lou Xiao'e didn't go to work at home, she would help Sha Zhu clean the house and do the laundry, etc. She was definitely a good wife!

What else can Yi Zhonghai do? He is helpless now. Let Sha Zhu be gone, so be it. He is still stubborn and wants to train Jia Dongxu well.

He decided to be stricter with Jia Dongxu starting tomorrow and ask him to improve his fitter level. This way, the Jia family's income will be guaranteed and it will be better for his retirement in the future.

The Jia family ate steamed corn bread and corn noodles for dinner. Although there was no big fish or meat, it was enough to fill them up, and they could always eat some meat to satisfy their cravings once a month.

Banggeng was already 8 years old. He finished a steamed bun in just two bites, and then slurped down a bowl of corn paste. He picked up the bowl and handed it to Qin Huairu, saying:

"Mom, give me another bowl!"

Qin Huairu was helpless when she saw this. This young man was eating too much. She said:

"Oh my dear, can you eat less? You've already finished two bowls!"

"Oh, mom, I'm not full yet. I was so tired from the physical education class at school today. Can I not eat more?"

Jia Zhang said:

"My dear grandson! Being able to eat is a blessing. Eat more so that you can grow stronger. Huairu, quickly pour another bowl for my dear grandson!"

Jia Dongxu is a man and a father. He cannot let his son starve, so he said:

"Wife, just give the child another bowl of rice. Don't let him go hungry. Your salary will be paid soon. Our family can afford this little bit!"

"The level assessment will be held next month. I am sure I can get promoted to the next level. Then our family will live a better life. It will be more nutritious if we buy more white flour."

Jia Zhang was delighted to hear her son say this. Her son was going to get a promotion and a raise, and his life was becoming more and more promising. She immediately agreed:

"That's right, daughter-in-law. You should spend the money you earn. You should save when you should save and spend when you should spend. You should be generous when it comes to food and drink."

"Okay, okay, I get it, Mom."

The next day, in the first fitter workshop of the steel rolling mill, Jia Dongxu was discussing the fifth-level fitter skills with Yi Zhonghai, in preparation for the fifth-level fitter assessment next month.

By then, the monthly salary will be 57 yuan and family life will be better. Yi Zhonghai is very satisfied with Jia Dongxu's learning attitude. He is motivated and filial. He can't find any fault with this apprentice, except for his unreasonable mother.

Ding-ling, ding-ling, it was time to get off work at noon. Yi Zhonghai stopped what he was doing and said to Jia Dongxu:

"Dongxu, I heard that the cafeteria has pork today. If we go earlier, we can eat more. If we go later, it will be gone."

Jia Dongxu was delighted when he heard that there was meat. He hadn't eaten meat for a while and was missing it. He secretly thought that he would ask Sha Zhu to get more meat.

Jia Dongxu packed up his things and said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Master, let's go."

The two came to the third cafeteria. There were quite a lot of people there, so they followed the crowd and lined up. Soon it was their turn.

The one who served the meal was naturally Sha Zhu. Why him again? Of course, because there was meat today and he wanted to give a full spoonful to his good friend.

You think Shazhu has nothing to do but stir the pot for others all day long, you are wrong! If he meets someone he knows well, he will definitely fill your lunch box with plenty of food.

What is this called? This is called worldliness!

Just now, Liu Guangtian, who was in the group ahead of Yi Zhonghai and his friends, was given a full spoonful of food by Shazhu, and the food covered the lunch box.

Now it was Yi Zhonghai's turn. Sha Zhu didn't say anything and gave a normal amount without shaking the spoon but he didn't give more either.

If it was a full spoon before, since the two families are having a falling out now, I'm already giving face to Yi Zhonghai by not shaking the spoon for you.

Yi Zhonghai gave the money without saying anything, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately Sha Zhu didn't stir the spoon for him.

It was different when it came to Jia Dongxu. Sha Zhu had a good impression of Jia Dongxu. After they greeted each other, he gave Jia Dongxu a full spoonful.

Jia Dongxu thanked him repeatedly and was very happy. During the meal, Yi Zhonghai felt a little jealous when he saw Jia Dongxu's dishes which were taller than his lunch box.

Jia Dongxu just smiled awkwardly and kept silent.

Jia Dongxu was looking at the full box of fried pork with peppers and was about to start eating when he suddenly thought of his wife, children and mother at home. The delicious fried pork with peppers suddenly lost its flavor.

He ate half of it and saved the rest to take back home in the evening to satisfy his family's cravings.

Yi Zhonghai saw his disciple like this and naturally understood what he meant. He was relieved and at the same time felt a little distressed for his disciple. He said:

"Dongxu, the master doesn't mind if you save some for your family, but you should refrain from doing this kind of thing. You are a fitter, and you do hard labor. How can you work without eating enough? Don't do this next time."

"Hey, hey, hey! Master, I get it. There's so much meat today, and I didn't want to satisfy the child's craving. I won't do it next time."

"Well, after get off work in the evening, we'll go buy some meat and invite your family over to have a good meal together."

"Master, how can this be possible? I have troubled you many times this month. I can't let you spend money again."

"What are you talking about? You are my apprentice. If I don't help you, who will? Listen to me on this matter!"

Jia Dongxu was also very grateful to Yi Zhonghai. Needless to say, he was very grateful to his disciple, both from the bottom of his heart and with money. It would be a lie to say that he was not touched.

So he also said to Yi Zhonghai:

"Thank you, Master. On behalf of our whole family, I thank you. I will definitely repay you in the future!"

"Hahaha, if you work hard and get promoted, that's your way of repaying me."

In the afternoon in the fitter workshop, Jia Dongxu was practicing the fifth-level fitter technique, while Yi Zhonghai was resting at the door and chatting with his fellow workers.

Jia Dongxu was operating it. He was exhausted and hungry after an afternoon of work. The level five technology required a lot of effort, and he didn't have enough food at noon, so he was forcing himself to keep going.

After all the processes were completed, Jia Dongxu breathed a sigh of relief and felt weak. He walked aside and sat down to rest.

But he chose the wrong location. A pile of new steel happened to have arrived at his resting place today, so he sat down to rest.

Suddenly, there was a clang! The sound of a steel bar falling startled everyone in the workshop. Jia Dongxu was startled and was glad that he was not hit.

But he was happy too early. The falling of the first piece of steel triggered a chain reaction, and another large piece was about to fall.

Yi Zhonghai was shocked when he saw it from a distance! He shouted:

"Dongxu, get out of the way!"

Many workers saw this and shouted to Jia Dongxu to get out of the way.

When Jia Dongxu turned his head, he was also frightened and broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly tried to get up and avoid it, but his body was unable to react because he was hungry and had worked for an entire afternoon. He was hit on the back by a piece of steel and vomited a large mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot!

Yi Zhonghai was stunned! Everyone in the workshop was stunned!

"Dongxu! Yi Zhonghai ran over and shouted loudly."

When the others reacted, they rushed over to help lift the steel away. They found that Jia Dongxu was still breathing, so they quickly asked someone to send him to the hospital.

Yi Zhonghai was so anxious that he was sweating profusely. He quickly arranged for people to go to the courtyard to call Jia Zhangshi and Qin Huairu, for fear that his apprentice would not be able to hold on and they would be able to see them for the last time.

Soon the whole factory knew about it.

After hearing the news, Sha Zhu hurried to the technical department to find Liu Guangtian and said that Jia Dongxu was hit by a steel plate and his life or death was unknown. He was now being sent to the hospital for emergency treatment. He asked Liu Guangtian if he wanted to go with him to see him.
