Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

When Jia Dongxu arrived at Yi Zhonghai's house, Yan Bugui was already waiting there.

"Dongxu, come quickly and sit down."

Yan Bugui hurriedly pulled a stool for Jia Dongxu and sniffed the food a few times. The roast chicken smelled so good!

"Master, I bought a roast chicken today to honor you and your wife."

Jia Dongxu handed over the roast chicken respectfully.

"Good boy, good boy."

Tan Guihua's tears came out. After so many years, she finally got to eat the roast chicken given to her by her younger generation.

"Good good."

Yi Zhonghai was very pleased. He looked at Jia Dongxu with a smile on his face. The more he looked at him, the more he liked him. This child was becoming more and more filial. He would not have to worry about his retirement in the future.

"Lao Yi, sister-in-law, Dongxu is filial and this is something to be happy about. Don't shed tears today."

Yan Bugui was in a hurry to eat the roast chicken, not to see their "loving father and filial son" behavior.

"I'm happy. I'm happy today. I'll go tear up the roast chicken. You guys drink."

Tan Guihua took the roast chicken and went to the kitchen.

"Master's Wife, you keep two chicken legs, and the master and I will have two drinks with the rest."

"Got it, kid."

Tan Guihua was filled with joy. It was a very happy thing to be cared for by the younger generation whom she admired.

"Guihua, just listen to Dongxu. Don't let the child down."

"Okay, I see."

Tan Guihua left two chicken legs, tore the rest, put them on a plate, and brought it out.

"Lao Yi, Lao Yan, you guys eat first. I'm going to find Sha Zhu and ask him to cook two dishes."

Without waiting for anyone to refuse, Tan Guihua hurried to find Sha Zhu.

"Dongxu, sit down, don't stand."

"Yes, master."

Jia Dongxu sat down.

"Come on, Lao Yi, Dong Xu, let's go first."

Yan Bugui filled the glass with wine, and the three of them took one together.

"Master, I respect you."

Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai were drinking and reminiscing about the past.

Yan Bugui didn't care about that. His main purpose was to drink and eat meat, so he picked up a chicken foot and started chewing it.

"Dude, you're drinking again. Don't worry, let me cook two more dishes."

Sha Zhu came over, holding a cabbage in his arms and a plate of peanuts in his hands. This was the only thing he could show off.

"Silly Zhu, you'll have to work hard again today."

Yan Bugui greeted him, but Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai were busy communicating their feelings and had no time to pay attention to Sha Zhu.

"Old Yan, you are really something. You are always indispensable when we eat meat."

"Silly Zhu, how can you talk like that? I'm just a guest today."

"Well, I have seen it."

No matter what Sha Zhu said, Yan Bugui remained calm. In his eyes, there were only wine and meat.

"Brother Jia, this is great. I heard that you had roast duck for lunch today."

After the food was ready, Sha Zhu sat down and had a drink with the others.

"Silly Zhu, money is meant to be spent. Why do we make money? To live a good life."

"Also, Master, you should not be so frugal in the future. Don't worry, I will take care of you and your wife in your old age. Sha Zhu and Uncle Yan are here today, so let's be witnesses together."

Originally, Jia Dongxu came here today to solicit investment, and he only said things that Yi Zhonghai liked.

Yan Bugui followed Jia Dongxu's words and said, "Okay, I will be the witness."

"Yes, and I, Brother Jia, have helped your family a lot over the years. If you are not filial in the future, don't blame me for not recognizing you."

This idiot Sha Zhu thinks he's a big shot again.

"Come on, let's go for the friendship between Dongxu and Laoyi."

"Uncle, Brother Jia, come and walk."

"Done."

"Dry."

The speaker is happy, and the listener is even happier.

After drinking one, Yan Bugui's eyes turned and he asked, "Dongxu, do you still remember what you said yesterday?"

"Uncle Yan, what did you say? Why don't I remember it?"

Jia Dongxu drank too much yesterday, so he naturally didn't know what he said.

"Old Yi, tell Dongxu that we men are as honest as our words and we must keep our promises."

Yan Bugui turned his attention to Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Yan, what you said is wrong. Dongxu drank too much yesterday, so his words cannot be taken seriously."

Of course Yi Zhonghai has to consider Jia Dongxu's interests now, so he will naturally not let Yan Bugui control him with words.

"I know. Brother Jia said that he would take us to make a lot of money together."

Sha Zhu is still the outspoken Sha Zhu.

"Old Yi, Dongxu, there are witnesses now, you can't go back on your word."

Now Yan Bugui likes Sha Zhu much more.

"Cough cough cough."

Yi Zhonghai quickly winked at Sha Zhu.

"Uncle, you don't have to cough. Brother Jia said that yesterday."

This is an extremely "upright" fool.

"Hey, what do I think? Master, it's fine. Since I said it yesterday, it must be true."

Jia Dongxu was still thinking about how to bring up the topic of borrowing money, and then Yan Bugui came to assist, and of course there was also Sha Zhu, the second assistant.

"Dongxu, tell us what you do now? How much can you earn in a day?"

After hearing what Jia Dongxu said, Yan Bugui was delighted and quickly moved his stool and moved closer to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu raised his hand and extended two fingers.

Sha Zhu blurted out: "Two dollars? That's not a small amount. It's sixty dollars a month, which is equivalent to my two months salary."

Jia Dongxu shook his head: "That's too little. Guess again."

"Is it twenty?"

Yan Bugui's eyes were red and his voice was trembling.

Jia Dongxu said with an air of "looking down on the world": "Uncle Yan, you might as well be bolder."

"Two...two...two hundred?"

Yan Bugui's hand trembled, and the wine glass fell to the ground and broke into pieces.

"How many?"

Yi Zhonghai stood up suddenly, his eyes wide open like bells.

Sha Zhu's heart skipped a beat, as if he had been electrocuted. He sat there motionless, completely stunned.

"Two hundred. You heard it right. It's two hundred."

Jia Dongxu stood up, put one foot on the stool, and waved two fingers back and forth in front of Yi Zhonghai and the other two.
