Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

There was no cooking in Jia Dongxu's house. The whole family was waiting, waiting for Jia Dongxu to bring back the meat.

Looking at Jia Dongxu with empty hands, Jia Zhang asked, "Dongxu is back, where's the meat?"

"Mom, the meat must be cooked at the chef's house. Dongxu, you take a rest first, I'll go help."

Qin Huairu was not like Jia Zhangshi. When she heard that there was meat to be eaten, she just sat there waiting without even saying anything to help.

Jia Dongxu was not in a good mood: "Don't go, we didn't buy any meat."

Jia Zhang jumped off the bed and asked angrily, "Dongxu, tell me what's going on? Is it that Yi Zhonghai is unwilling to part with it? Or is it that Liu Guozheng doesn't want to sell it to us?"

"Mom, don't overthink it, they've sold out."

After hearing what Jia Zhang said, Jia Dongxu frowned. What a temper his mother had!

"Let me tell you, it's all Yi Zhonghai's fault. We agreed yesterday that if Tan Guihua wasn't allowed to line up early today, nothing would get done. Now what are we going to eat tonight?"

"Mom, if there's no meat, aren't there other dishes? Isn't Sha Zhu busy at the master's house now?"

Feeling the impatience in her son's words, Jia Zhang kept silent and sat down on the bed with a sullen face.

Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, Qin Huairu asked softly: "Dongxu, where is the master?"

Jia Dongxu took a sip of water and said, "I went to buy roast duck."

"Wow, there is roast duck to eat. I want to eat roast duck."

When the eldest son of the Jia family, Banggeng, heard that there was roast duck, he jumped up with joy on the spot.

"Eat, you only know how to eat. Come here, Bang Geng, I'll test you."

"Don't go."

Banggeng didn't dare to go. On the day Jia Dongxu came back, he was slapped twice and was traumatized.

Jia Dongxu said in a deep voice: "Do you still want to eat roast duck?"

"Ok."

Although he was somewhat reluctant, Banggeng still didn't dare to go over, because Jia Dongxu really dared to hit him.

"What is two times five?"

"Two Five One Fifteen"

Bang Geng answered quickly.

Qin Huairu covered her face. Although she was not well educated, she could still recite the multiplication formulas.

Jia Zhang was very pleased that the Jia family finally produced a genius who answered the question very quickly.

"Three times five."

"Three-five-twenty-five."

Banggeng raised his little face and looked at Jia Dongxu proudly.

"My dear grandson is awesome."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was very relieved. After her death, she could go to see Old Jia with peace of mind. She had finally cultivated a genius for the Jia family.

"Four times five."

"Four-five-thirty-five."

Bang Geng became more and more proud, and Jia Dongxu's face was as gloomy as water.

"Okay, okay, okay, come here and daddy will reward you with something good."

"Really? Dad, can I make a request?"

Bangge asked innocently.

Jia Dongxu suppressed his anger and said, "Be good, come here first and get your reward first."

Banggeng was happy, this was the father he remembered.

"Snapped."

As soon as Bang Geng ran to Jia Dongxu, he was hit hard.

"I'll give you two fifty-five."

"Snapped."

"I'll give you three-five-twenty-five."

"Snapped."

"I'll let you four five thirty five."

"Snapped."

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu was still rational and restrained himself a lot.

"Wow..you're not my dad, I hate you."

Bang Geng lay on the ground with his face covered.

"Dongxu, are you crazy? How dare you hit such a smart son? If you destroy the real dragon of my Jia family, I will never let you go."

The three big fights made Jia Zhang feel very distressed. She hurried forward and gently rubbed Banggeng's little face, while blowing air to relieve Banggeng's pain.

"Huai Ru, look, this is the good son you raised."

Jia Dongxu is extremely dissatisfied with Qin Huairu now, and he doesn't know what she usually teaches him?

"Dongxu, I have to go to work during the day, and when I get home I have to do laundry and cook. I don't have the time to teach Banggeng. Besides, my mom won't let me teach."

Qin Huairu felt very wronged and couldn't say anything.

"You are a country girl, what can you teach your son? Look how well I taught Bang Geng. Just tell me whether he can answer the question quickly or not."

Jia Zhang glared at Qin Huairu and kept a record of her in her heart.

Jia Dongxu said angrily: "Mom, answering the questions quickly is good, but what's the use if you don't answer them correctly?"

"None of them is correct?"

Jia Zhang looked at Bang Geng in disbelief. Her eldest grandson had always been very smart. He was said to be the first or second in every exam. How could this be? It must be that Dong Xu's questions were too difficult. Yes, that must be the case.

Jia Zhang said as if it was natural: "Dongxu, you can come up with something simple."

"Mom, it can't be simpler than this. You know, Banggeng is 9 years old and in the fourth grade. He can't even recite the basic multiplication formulas. And you still want to eat roast duck? If he dares to yell about eating roast duck again, I will slap him to death."

Jia Dongxu was shaking with anger. Every parent has the long-cherished wish of seeing their sons become successful and their daughters become outstanding, and Jia Dongxu was no exception.

"Dongxu, Banggeng is still young, you should teach him slowly. We can't learn from Liu Haizhong, that power-hungry guy who only knows how to beat children every day."

Liu Haizhong has long become a negative example in Siheyuan.

"Forget it, it seems Banggeng has no talent for learning, so we won't force him."

"Bang Geng, come sit here. I'm going to teach you a skill to see if you have the talent. If not, go learn cooking from Sha Zhu as soon as possible."

As he spoke, Jia Dongxu took out a locked lock from the drawer.

After rummaging in the drawer for a long time, I found a piece of wire.

Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang were both confused and couldn't understand what was going on.

Can making a lock test whether Banggeng has the talent to learn technology?

Although they didn't understand, the two didn't say anything and looked at Jia Dongxu intently.

"Bang Geng, watch carefully."

As Jia Dongxu spoke, he inserted the wire into the keyhole and shook it up and down and left and right. Suddenly, he heard a click and the lock opened.

Banggeng's eyes lit up. This was fun and he liked it.

Qin Huairu frowned as she watched. What on earth is this? Using this to test talent? Are you kidding? It's fine if you use this to open your own lock, but it's illegal if you use it to open someone else's lock.

"Dongxu, we can't let Banggeng learn this."

Qin Huairu was anxious. What good would it be to learn this thing?

"Qin Huairu, what do you know? This is called a craft, and it can be passed down from generation to generation."

"Look at Shazhu, he has been learning to be a chef from his father since he was a child. Our Banggeng also needs to learn a skill since he was a child. Haven't you heard what people say? A craftsman will never starve to death in a disaster."

Jia Zhangshi also had a lot of things to say.

Qin Huairu was even more anxious. What kind of skill is this? If you dare to use it on other people's homes, you will be imprisoned directly. Of course, you won't starve to death, and you can eat the country's food.

"Dongxu..."

"Okay, okay, I know what's going on. It's not a big deal. I learned this from a good brother in the labor camp. My good brother said that anyone who can learn to open a lock with wire has a lot of talent."

Jia Dongxu interrupted Qin Huairu directly. For the first time, he felt dissatisfied with Qin Huairu. After all, she came from the countryside and had a narrow vision.

"Click."

"Oh, I opened it. I opened it."

"I want to eat roast duck. I want to eat roast duck."

Jia Dongxu was delighted when he saw this. Not bad, not bad. It seemed that he had great talent and was a good candidate for learning technology. He had the potential to become an emperor.

Qin Huairu couldn't even cry at this moment. What kind of people are these in the Jia family?

Tired.
