Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Jia Dongxu came to the door of Yi Zhonghai's house, stretched out his hand to push the door open, and walked in swaggeringly. All this was Yi Zhonghai's good teaching, after all, the Jia family never had the habit of knocking on the door.

At this time, the aunt just happened to bring the food to the table. Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's visit at this time, puzzled, so he asked: "Dongxu, do you have something to tell me?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes fell on the food on the table, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the food at his master's house was indeed more sumptuous.

He was absorbed in watching, when he suddenly heard Yi Zhonghai's voice. He came back to his senses and said, "Master, I came to you today because I really need your help."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's sincere face, shook his head helplessly, turned around and said to the auntie: "Give him a pair of chopsticks."

The aunt was a little reluctant, but still took out a pair of chopsticks from the cabinet and handed them to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu took the chopsticks, looked at Yi Zhonghai gratefully, then sat down and started eating. He picked up the steamed bun made of two pieces of flour and started eating. The aunt looked a little uncomfortable. After all, who would choose to come to the house to talk about something at mealtime? But when she thought about having to rely on him for her old age, she could only sigh silently.

But she didn't know that your Yi Zhonghai often came to cause trouble when others were eating, so why did he feel uncomfortable when his own apprentice came?

Yi Zhonghai sighed, thinking that this disciple was always so careless.

But after all, he was his apprentice, so he couldn't say much. So, while eating, he asked, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

After Jia Dongxu finished eating a steamed bun, he took another one and took a bite, then he slowly spoke.

"Master, you see Huairu has given birth to another child. Now there are three adults and two children in our family. I am the first-class fitter, and I only have to rely on my salary of 27 yuan a month. I also have to give my mother 5 yuan for her retirement, which is not enough.

In the past, I could only ensure that my family would not starve to death. Now Huairu, Banggeng and Xiaodang all need nutrition. My salary is really stretched. Can you hold a meeting and ask people in the hospital to donate money to my family? Help our family get through this difficult time. "

Yi Zhonghai was a little hesitant. He had suffered several setbacks at the hands of Zhou Jin during this period, which had a great impact on his prestige and reputation. In addition, his relationship with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui had been rather tense recently.

He is really scared now. If he agrees to this matter, once Zhou Jin comes out to make trouble, together with Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui, he may end up losing more than he gains.

Jia Dongxu also noticed that Yi Zhonghai seemed unwilling to help, so he quickly used his trump card.

"Master, my family is in such a difficult situation. If I hadn't really gone bankrupt, I would never have bothered you. Don't worry, I, Jia Dongxu, am not the kind of ungrateful person.

I have always remembered clearly how good you have been to my family. Master, don't worry. I'll put it this way: once a teacher, you are always a father. Your and your wife's retirement is entirely up to me, and I will definitely take good care of you."

Yi Zhonghai was moved by Jia Dongxu's sincere words. He felt that he should help his disciple again.

In fact, Yi Zhonghai had already made up his mind. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were both easy to deal with. One was greedy for money, and the other was greedy for power. As long as he used a little trick, they would definitely stand on his side.

With the support of the two uncles, relying on his prestige in the compound, and the deaf old lady as a backer, this matter should not be a problem. Moreover, facing a troublemaker like Xu Damao, there is also Sha Zhu's armed suppression.

Although Sha Zhu is no match for Zhou Jin, his martial arts skills are still at a dominant level when facing other people in the courtyard.

In this way, the Jia family can solve their current difficulties, and they don't have to pay the bulk of the money themselves. By symbolically donating ten or twenty yuan, they can gain a good reputation, and maybe even make a fortune from the donated money. Why not do it?

"Dongxu, it's too late today. I'll go discuss it with the two uncles later. We'll hold a meeting tomorrow night to donate money to your family. But you have to keep an eye on your mother at that time. Don't let her mouth do anything bad."

Hearing that his master agreed without hesitation, he immediately promised: "Master, don't worry, I will go home and talk to my mother about it and ask her to control her mouth tomorrow. I will definitely not ruin this matter. Then I will go home first."

"Okay, you go back, I'll go discuss this with the two gentlemen."

When Jia Dongxu got home, he told Jia Zhang what happened, and reminded her to control her mouth tomorrow and not to lose the money she had earned by swearing.

Jia Zhang knew that she had offended many people in the hospital. In order to get more donations tomorrow, Jia Zhang decided not to fight back or respond tomorrow.

After dinner, Yi Zhonghai went to Yan Bugui's house. For Yi Zhonghai, Yan Bugui was the easiest to win over. Yan Bugui was greedy for small profits but had no sense of justice. He had a very narrow vision and only focused on the immediate benefits. So as long as enough benefits were offered, even if it meant asking Yan Bugui to call him dad, he would do it.

So when Yi Zhonghai came to Yan Bugui's house, he didn't waste any time and directly told him about the donation to the Jia family tomorrow night. He also promised that all the money donated by Yan Bugui would be returned afterwards.

They will also give 10% of the donation to Yan Bugui as a thank you for his great help.

Originally, when Yan Bugui heard about donating money to the Jia family, he immediately wanted to object. After all, since Yi Zhonghai became the eldest uncle, except for the first year when he did not donate to the Jia family, he had to hold at least two or three donation meetings for the Jia family every year thereafter.

But when he heard that not only could he get the donated money back, but he could also get 10% of the total donation, Yan Bugui's eyes lit up.

He agreed immediately, fearing that Yi Zhonghai would regret it if it was too late.

After dealing with Yan Bugui, Yi Zhonghai took Yan Bugui to the backyard to find Liu Haizhong.

Of course, it was Yan Bugui who followed here on his own initiative. He just wanted to know whether Yi Zhonghai gave the same proportion to Liu Haizhong as he did to himself. In any case, he didn't want to suffer any loss.

Liu Haizhong was even easier to fool. Yi Zhonghai promised Liu Haizhong that all matters in the backyard would be handled by Liu Haizhong himself, and as long as one of the two parties in the conflict was from the backyard, Liu Haizhong would preside over it.

With the help of Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong was quickly convinced and agreed to Yi Zhonghai's request with a smile.

After the three of them reached a cooperation agreement, they asked the children of the Liu and Yan families to notify everyone that a meeting would be held after dinner tomorrow.

Zhou Jin didn't care what these people wanted to do. As long as they didn't bother him, it was fine for them to play however they wanted. So he got up and washed up without thinking too much.

Today is Tuesday, and I am going to Mr. Jin's house. I happened to get a radio ticket by signing in a few days ago, so I thought I would buy it and send it to the old man today, so that the old couple can kill time and enrich their life after dinner.

Thinking that I haven’t finished the food from last night, I decided to cook some noodles and eat the leftovers as a side dish for the臊子.

Fortunately, I signed up for high-end cooking, otherwise where would I get noodles to eat? Before I traveled through time, I lived in Chongqing, and the noodles I basically ate were dried noodles. I knew nothing about these kinds of pasta.

After breakfast, Zhou Jin rode his bicycle to the supply and marketing cooperative and found the place where radios were sold on the second floor. Maybe because it was early, there was only one salesperson there.

"Sister, I want to buy a radio, is it available now?"

Because the country's current industrial production capacity is limited, the output of industrial products such as radios, watches, and bicycles is not large, so you can't buy things with money and tickets.

"We have it in stock. The red light sign just arrived the day before yesterday. One hundred and twenty dollars. Do you have a ticket?"

"Yes." Zhou Jin quickly took out twelve big black lottery tickets and a radio and handed them over.

The salesperson took the money and ticket, counted them, and then got a brand new radio from the warehouse for Zhou Jin, and then issued an invoice and receipt.

Zhou Jin took the radio, said thank you, and then picked up the radio and went to the grocery store to buy a pound of White Rabbit milk candy and malted milk.

Then he left the supply and marketing cooperative, tied the radio to his bicycle and rode to Grandpa Jin's house. Halfway there, Zhou Jin found an empty corner, took out the food, meat and vegetables that he had prepared long ago, hung them on the bicycle and continued on his way.

At about ten o'clock, Zhou Jin arrived. Because the old couple knew that Zhou Jin would come today, they did not go out and drank tea and chatted in the yard.

Zhou Jin came in pushing his bicycle and unloaded the items tied to the bicycle skillfully. He first took the food, meat and vegetables to the kitchen, put the candy and malted milk into the cabinet, and finally carefully moved the radio into the living room.

The old couple looked at Zhou Jin coming over again with big and small bags of gifts, their faces filled with happy smiles.

When they noticed the brand new radio, surprise showed in their eyes.

Although their family was well-off, they were never able to buy a radio ticket due to their background.

After Zhou Jin had put everything in order, he went to the pavilion in the yard and sat down.

He built this pavilion specifically to provide the old couple with a comfortable place to bask in the sun.

Now, after careful renovation by Master Lei, the entire courtyard has been rejuvenated with new vitality.

"Grandpa, grandma, I'll help you adjust the radio later, and you can listen to the radio programs anytime from now on.

I also bought some White Rabbit candies and malted milk for you and put them in the cupboard, remember to eat them!" Zhou Jin said with concern.

"Okay, my dear grandson, drink some water first." Grandma Yang hurriedly brought a glass of water to Zhou Jin.

Zhou Jin took the water and drank two sips, then put the cup down, "Grandpa, grandma, let's go back to the house, I'll adjust the radio for you."

"Okay, let's go back to the house."

After saying that, Zhou Jin helped Grandma Yang and Grandpa Jin back to the main house, and then began to adjust the radio. It was done in a short while, but there were fewer programs in this era, basically just radio, opera and crosstalk, and there were time limits, so they were not broadcast all the time.

"Grandpa and grandma, the radio is ready. You listen to it first. I'll go make you some food. After we finish eating, I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

When Grandma Yang heard that Zhou Jin was going to take her for a physical examination, she couldn't control her tears anymore. Zhou Jin looked at what was going on and wondered why she was crying just because she was going to the hospital for a checkup.

"Grandma, what's wrong? Going to the hospital is just for a physical examination."

"Okay, your grandma is happy. You are so filial and always consider us. Even your biological children may not do as well as you do." Grandpa Jin hurriedly explained.

"So that's how it is. I thought grandma was afraid of going to the hospital. Since I promised to take care of you and provide for you in your old age, I will definitely do what I say. After all, I still care about these antiques of yours." Zhou Jin also said with a smile.

"Okay, you guys listen to the radio first, I'm going to go cook."

Zhou Jin was going to show off her skills today and make a sumptuous lunch, including sweet and sour spareribs, steamed fish, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and fragrant rice. These dishes were carefully selected by her and were especially suitable for the taste of the elderly.

Today's dish is relatively simple and can be completed by 11 o'clock, so he will have more time to go to the hospital for a physical check-up.

The three of them ate and talked, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed, and Zhou Jin was full. She looked at the old couple and said with a smile, "Grandpa and grandma, you go and have a rest, I'll wash the dishes." After that, she stood up, walked into the kitchen and started washing the dishes.

After the house was cleaned up, Zhou Jin took the old couple to the hospital.

This place is very close to the hospital. It is not convenient for three people to ride a bicycle, so they decided to walk to the hospital. This way they can also help digestion, killing two birds with one stone.

They arrived at the hospital in a short while. Zhou Jin was busy taking the two of them to do examinations. He was busy for three hours and finally finished all the possible examinations.

When people in the hospital saw this filial child, they all said that Grandpa and his wife were blessed to have such a filial grandson.

The three of them waited in the hospital for about half an hour, and the test results came out. The old couple were in good health, but because of their old age, there were still some things they needed to pay attention to.

Seeing that there was no problem, the three of them felt relieved and went home happily chatting. As soon as Zhou Jin came back, he went to the kitchen to get busy. Because he had to prepare food for the old couple for the next three days, the amount was a bit large. When Zhou Jin finished his meal and returned home, it was already seven o'clock. The moon was out and the stars were blinking in the night sky.

Zhou Jin had been busy all day and was already very tired. He just wanted to go home and sleep early.

As a result, when he arrived at the central courtyard, he found that there were many people sitting in the courtyard. Everyone was wrapped in thick cotton-padded clothes. The eight-immortal table was also moved out and placed in its old position. Zhou Jin then remembered that he had been notified last night that a meeting would be held tonight.

Zhou Jin could only sigh in his heart: "This courtyard is not big, and there are not many people, but there are so many things to do. There are meetings every two or three days."

Since there was no way to sleep anyway, Zhou Jin went home and got a small stool, intending to watch the fun.
