Siheyuan: Incredible understanding and superb cooking skills

She glanced at the gate number of the yard:

"Number ninety-eight, yes, this is it." The girl thought to herself.

The little girl muttered softly, took a deep breath, and walked into the house.

...

...

"Dongxu, get up. It's time to drink chicken soup." After Jia Zhang placed two bowls of chicken soup on the dining table, she walked to the bed and gently lifted up Jia Dongxu who was still sleeping.

Although Jia Zhang had secretly sipped a few sips of chicken soup, she still treated her son very considerately. Her harshness towards outsiders did not reduce her kindness to her son.

At this time, Jia Dongxu was lying on the bed with a dazed look.

The day before, he behaved as if he was bewildered due to his emotional excitement. After a check-up at the village clinic, it was discovered that a young nurse had misjudged the dosage when dispensing the medicine.

After some twists and turns, his condition gradually stabilized.

At this time, Jia Zhang helped him up, but his steps were still a little weak.

"Mom, did the chef buy this chicken soup? Why isn't he eating it?"

Jia Dongxu asked curiously.

Hearing this, Jia Zhang helped him sit down on the chair and curled her lips with a slight sarcasm.

"Never mind, at least this time they have some conscience and know how to send it to nourish your body.

Anyway, he failed the transfer test, so does this have nothing to do with him?"

Her words sounded nonchalant, as if they were natural, as if everyone else should be responsible to her family in this way.

Hearing this, Jia Dongxu looked somewhat helpless, but he was too tired to say more in rebuttal.

Just as the whole family gathered together to enjoy chicken soup, there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

When Jia Zhang heard the knock on the door, she became alert and wondered what a coincidence it was that someone came to visit at this time?

She couldn't help but think, maybe he wanted to come here to eat for free or take advantage of the opportunity? This made her voice cold.

If anyone really wants to eat for free, Jia Zhang will never tolerate him!

A gentle voice sounded outside the door:

"Excuse me, is this Second Aunt Jia's house?"

When Jia Zhang opened the door and saw the figure in front of her, she was slightly stunned.

In front of me was a girl of about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was not petite, about 1.65 meters tall. In this era, such a height was considered outstanding.

Her beautiful face is fair and delicate, with an oval face and a delicate nose, and she looks gentle and introverted.

The girl said awkwardly: "I am Aunt Jia, may I ask who you are..."

When Xie Yingqi saw that the other person was an elder, her voice became even more timid.

After listening to the other party's introduction of herself, Xie Yingqi was a new nurse at the Nanluoxiang Health Center. Due to previous mistakes in her work, there was a mistake in the dosage when dispensing medicine a few days ago, which caused unnecessary trouble to Jia Dongxu.

When she learned that the Jia family was looking for her, she happened to be away on leave; when she returned to work today, she decided to follow the director's instructions and go to their house to apologize in person.

This incident could have been a medical accident, but considering her new status, the health center did not blame her too much.

Realizing that she had done something wrong, Xie Yingqi felt guilty and went to the Jia family in person to explain and express how much she regretted.

Hearing her say this, Jia Zhang, who had been confused, suddenly realized: "Haha, it turned out to be you, the little girl who prepared the medicine, who almost caused trouble for my Dongxu?"

Originally, the matter was almost forgotten, but unexpectedly, Xie Yingqi came in person to apologize, and Jia Zhang immediately took action.

"What should I say? How could you, working in a health center, mismatch the medications? Fortunately, Xudong is fine, otherwise I would be entangled with you!"

Listening to Jia Zhang's accusations, Xie Yingqi realized that she was indeed at fault: "Auntie Jia, what you said was indeed a mistake in my work. I am very sorry. Please don't take it to heart."

As he spoke, Xie Yingqi took out four thick stacks of banknotes from his pocket.

"Auntie, I feel very guilty after knowing what happened. This money is my compensation for this mistake. I sincerely hope you will accept it."

Faced with Jia Zhang's emotional response, Xie Yingqi did not feel the slightest bit dissatisfied.

After all, it was I who made the mistake, so this reaction is understandable.

The two hundred thousand was a token of Xie Yingqi’s love.

Her tone was calm and gentle, and she spoke the truth in an orderly manner.

Even Jia Zhang, who was usually very aggressive, could not help but calm down a little when facing such a young girl, especially because of the 200,000 yuan.

Looking at the four large stacks of RMB, Jia Zhang's eyes froze for a moment.

She quickly put the money into her pocket and felt the real feel of the banknotes. Only then did Jia Zhang fully realize that this seemed to be unexpected wealth.

"Girl, you are such an actress, aren't you? You give me such a big gift just when I come."

After getting the money, when she looked at Xie Yingqi again, Jia Zhang's expression changed completely!

"I remember you said your name was Xie Yingqi, kid, I don't mean to blame you, it's just that you are young and inexperienced.

Aunt Jia is afraid that you will learn from your mistakes, understand?

Hearing this, Xie Yingqi nodded repeatedly in response.

"Auntie Jia, I will definitely pay more attention to my work and will never make this mistake again."

She obviously agreed with what Jia Zhang said.

Fortunately, this incident did not have serious consequences, otherwise Xie Yingqi would probably have been traumatized for the rest of her life.

As for the compensation, as long as the Jia family could accept it and forgive her mistake, it would be enough in her heart.

This money bought me peace of mind.

Looking at the obedient clinic nurse in front of her, Jia Zhang's eyes flickered and a trace of consideration arose in her heart.

The huge sum of two hundred thousand yuan made her look at Xie Yingqi differently, and she even had some plans.

"Yingqi, how old are you this year?"

Xie Yingqi originally planned to leave, but Jia Zhang's words surprised her a little.

"I am already sixteen years old. What is the purpose of Aunt Jia asking this?"

She started to develop into this appearance at the age of six. She has outstanding height, smooth skin, and a dignified temperament. In addition, she works in a health center, so her family background is undoubtedly extraordinary.

This made Jia Zhang's mind start to work quickly.

If I could make this girl a member of the Jia family...what would I need to worry about in the future? ?

——In this day and age, although talking about marriage at the age of sixteen is a little young, it is not surprising.

After all, people often got married very early at that time, and it was common for people to get married at the age of 17 or 18.

Even in the city, many people enter society after graduating from junior high school.

Not to mention some people who find employment early due to reasons such as unfinished studies.

Compared with the sixteen or seventeen-year basic academic stage from primary school to university in later generations, sixteen years old is now the starting age.

If you want to continue your studies, such as studying for a master's degree or a doctorate, you will probably have to wait until you are 27 or 28 years old.

Therefore, the social atmosphere of these two eras is completely different.

Therefore, for the sixteen-year-old Xie Yingqi, she was simply a priceless treasure in Jia Zhang's eyes.

First of all, the girl's family is obviously not poor, and an ordinary family cannot afford to easily take out a sum of 200,000 yuan.

In addition, people today generally do not grow and develop as well as they do now, but Xie Yingqi is both beautiful and tall. Based on this point alone, she does not have to worry about not being able to get married when it comes to marriage.

In addition, youth is also a big advantage.

In this era, men rarely marry wives older than themselves. Those "women are like wolves at 30 and tigers at 40"

The proverb has almost disappeared.

It is rare for a young man to find a woman older than himself, both in the present and in the future.

Because it was part of the social customs at that time.

Thinking about the misfortune that her son Jia Dongxu had suffered, and how he had lost even the qualifications to work as a formal employee, she would also have to worry about dealing with the marriage arranged by the matchmaker. These consecutive blows made Jia Zhang lose her original confidence in the matchmaker's previous proposal.

Although she acts rudely, she is not stupid at all and she is very observant of everything.

Seeing that Xie Yingqi had good conditions, Jia Zhang became selfish.

"Oh, Yingqi, are you thinking about your lifelong event?"

Jia Zhang asked straight to the point.

When Xie Yingqi heard this question, she was stunned for a moment.

She obviously didn't expect Jia Zhang to ask such a question.

After realizing this, her cheeks flushed slightly. "Aunt Jia, I'm still in the work stage, and I don't want to think about these things for the time being."

In this conservative society, such private questions would embarrass a 16-year-old girl in her prime.

"If everything is ok, I will go back to the hospital first. There are still many things I need to deal with there."

As if frightened by Jia Zhang's direct question, Xie Yingqi hurriedly said goodbye and ran away quickly, as if escaping.

"Hey, this little girl..."

Jia Zhang watched her leave quickly and couldn't help shaking her head.

What a shy girl! She gets scared like this when asked if she has a boyfriend.

After Xie Yingqi left, Jia Zhang still felt a little regretful.

She did care about Xie Yingqi's advantages. If she could marry such a bride to Dongxu, would it be worse than the village girl brought by the matchmaker? However, she did not think about why a 16-year-old girl would be interested in her son. Was she just attracted by his family background or his stubbornness?

He Yuzhu, who was cooking in the house, saw Xie Yingqi who was about to go back to the clinic through the window, and his eyes were instantly attracted. "Hey, that daughter is really outstanding.

Just one glance is enough to make your heart flutter."

He Yuzhu pondered for a while and felt that the other girls in the courtyard didn't seem to be that pretty.

But he just sighed secretly.

Now that I am only fifteen years old, my first priority should be to work hard to build a career and spend a good time with my sister in this era.

As for marriage, that was a few years later.

"Didn't you see? A little girl came to our place just now. She looked so good that even I like her very much!" After hearing what the third aunt said, Yan Bugui frowned and asked, "You mean, a little girl went to the Jia family in the central courtyard?"

"Yes, I remember that Jia Zhang was quite noisy at first, but later she was very happy. I guess she received some kind of gift." The third aunt nodded. She was washing vegetables outside at the time, so she noticed this.

"It seems to me that the little girl is from the clinic." Yan Bugui made a guess after thinking about this.
