Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

When I rushed to the hospital, I saw Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu looking at each other like fighting cocks.

Obviously, the two of them did not get along well, and Qin Huairu looked helpless. She could not do anything about Jia Dongxu, and she was also powerless about Xu Damao. She could do nothing except watch the two of them bickering.

Forget it, do whatever you want, it’s none of her business.

However, the appearance of Xu Damao made Qin Huairu a little troubled.

Originally, Jia Dongxu was the only one in this ward. Normally, she could sleep on another bed. But now Xu Damao is here. She, a pregnant woman, can't sit there all night, right?

Lou Xiao'e and Qu Jiu didn't care. They had brought bedding with them, so it was no big deal if they just rested on the bench.

Jia Dongxu also noticed Qin Huairu's situation and thought for a moment.

"How about you go back to the courtyard first?"

Qin Huairu nodded silently. She really wasn't suitable to stay here now.

“Chen Xu, since you want to go back to the Siheyuan, how about it?”

Jia Dongxu turned around and looked at Chen Xu.

"you sure?"

Chen Xu looked at Jia Dongxu in surprise. Is this guy so careless?

Jia Dongxu came back to his senses and shook his head.

"It's okay, just pretend I didn't say anything, Huairu, let's get together tonight."

The people around were speechless. Qin Huairu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She wasn't worried about what Chen Xu could do to her. After all, she couldn't sleep with him now. But her jealous husband was obviously worried about her going back with a man.

Chen Xu didn't care. He didn't want to go back to the Siheyuan now. Since he was already out, he might as well wander around Sijiu City for a while and then go to the black market.

Xu Damao now looked at Jia Dongxu with contempt, thinking that this guy was a fool. Seeing your wife's current condition, what else can my brother do? However, he soon reacted.

It seems like there is something I can do, like getting him to the hospital...

Xu Damao burst into tears when he thought of this. What a great opportunity! If he worked harder, wouldn't he be able to get it completely? Isn't the happy life in the future right in front of him?

Let’s not talk about the result. Xu Damao was as excited when he persuaded Lou Xiaoe as he is now depressed.

"Okay, just take good care of yourself first. I'll go to the factory to ask for leave for you tomorrow and then I'll go back first..."

"Row."

Chen Xu turned around and left without any hesitation. Qin Huairu was a little depressed, and she wanted to go back to the courtyard with Chen Xu.

After all, the beds in the hospital are really small and two adults can’t lie down on them at all. Besides, neither she, a pregnant woman, nor Jia Dongxu, a patient, can sleep on their sides. They probably won’t have a good night.

Although Qin Huairu thought about it, she didn't say it out loud in the end. She just watched Chen Xu walk out of the ward.

After Chen Xu left, Jia Dongxu felt even more tormented.

Lou Xiao'e brought over a lot of snacks and fruits. Seeing Lou Xiao'e feeding Xu Damao with fruits, Jia Dongxu was filled with envy and jealousy. Unfortunately, he had to save face and could not ask if he could have some.

Xu Damao felt inexplicably happy. Chen Xu was right to let him take the responsibility this time. Didn't he see that Lou Xiao'e was much gentler towards him now?

Unfortunately, the good times did not last long, and Xu Damao's body soon began to tremble.

"Da Mao, what's wrong?"

"No...it's okay, just a little spicy and hot..."

Obviously, the anesthetic had worn off. Although the taste was much better than at the beginning, some residual capsaicin was still there. Coupled with his second brother who was already very sensitive due to the redness and swelling, Xu Damao felt as if he was worse off than death.

However, looking at the worried face of Lou Xiao'e beside him, Xu Damao became angry and didn't say a word, trying hard to endure the sweetness given by his wife.

But the cold sweat on Xu Damao's forehead betrayed him, and Lou Xiao'e had no other choice but to call a doctor.

After being cleaned up by the nurse again, Xu Damao felt much better. Although he still felt a little uncomfortable, he could bear it.

At night, Xu Damao couldn't sleep at all. His second son protested from time to time, which made him unable to sleep. Looking at Lou Xiao'e who was sleeping at the head of his bed, Xu Damao reached out and rubbed his wife's head. He inexplicably felt that he was worth it.

Although good things take time, I have finally taken a step closer to my wife. Can good days be far behind?

this will.

Chen Xu has already been around the black market for several rounds.

I'm still chatting with Lao Zhou now.

"Haha, brother, I heard that you went to my hometown for shopping."

"Hehe, I also found out about that when I saw the piglets in your place. You have some ideas."

"Of course. If you want meat next time, I'll sell it to you at a low price."

"Thank you, Brother Zhou."

Seeing the cigarette that Lao Zhou handed to him again, Chen Xu took it without hesitation and lit it with Lao Zhou's lighter.

Lao Zhou has the habit of passing cigarettes when chatting. He believes that three times is a good rule of thumb and it is impolite to refuse repeatedly.

Chen Xu simply took it and lit it, but the cigarette just passed through his mouth once before going out.

He smoked in his previous life, but he wasn't addicted to it and didn't really like it. He just smoked when he was at social events.

Some people really have the habit of passing cigarettes around while smoking. Even if they know you don't smoke, they will still pass them around habitually. It's just a matter of habit.

There have always been cigarettes in Chen Xu's space, but it was only for social occasions and he never smoked them on a regular basis.

Many times, the friendship between men depends on whether you give this face or not. Even if Chen Xu was pretending to smoke, Lao Zhou was very satisfied.

Chen Xu looked around but didn't see Sha Zhu. The deaf old lady had been keeping him under control for the past few days to make sure he would rest, in case he really died one day.

Otherwise, with this guy's attitude of making money day and night, it would not be long before Chen Xu would be able to eat Sha Zhu's meal.

He came to the black market just to kill time. After all, he really looked down on these things now. Except for meat, he simply ignored the others.

Old Zhou was not surprised. It was obvious that Chen Xu was preparing food for the leader. After all, there was no way Chen Xu could eat all that food.

"I'll have some fruit here in a while, do you want some?"

"Fruit? What kind of fruit?"

"apple."

"I'll give you an answer in two days."

Chen Xu did not agree immediately. Although he had some idea, he didn't want that much. As for the steel mill, he estimated that even if he wanted it, it wouldn't be too much. After all, this period was not suitable for such empty things.

Fruit was considered a high-end item during this period, but it was not that popular.

The reason is that it is expensive and cannot fill your stomach, so it is naturally not the first choice.

"Row."

Old Zhou was not surprised. It was reasonable for Chen Xu to go back and ask the factory. He also knew that fruits were generally not a necessity for buyers nowadays.

Chen Xu thought that it was not impossible to grow some fruits in this space. Even if it was for himself to eat, he should prepare some. But the quantity had to be controlled. If he planted too much, he would not be able to sell it.

After all, fruit is more particular about its origin, and it is even easier to find clues than grain. After all, if you get less grain, you can say it was exchanged on the black market, but fruit is generally not available on the black market.

Even if there are any, they are just some wild fruits picked in the mountains, and the taste is unexpected. Some are okay, some are so sour that they can make your teeth sour, and some are even impossible to swallow.
