Love in the Siheyuan: Starting from Jia Dongxu

"Look at this chimney. It expels all the smoke outside. There's no smell of smoke in the house. If it's dry, boil a pot of water on it."

Now that the conversation was open, Qin Huairu could speak at length without pausing.

"If possible, I would like to take one back. It's too cold now." Liu Shengli's wife thought for a while and said.

Qin Huairu was not stingy and nodded in agreement, "Okay, we have another one upstairs, you can take one back."

"If it's not enough, then there's nothing we can do. Now there's not enough to sell outside. People are lining up on the street to buy it."

"But I'll ask Dongxu later if he can get you a few from the factory."

When Liu Shengli's wife heard this, she waved her hands and said, "No, we will be criticized. I have to ask Shengli about this one thing. Besides, if you give it to us, what will you do?"

Qin Huairu was busy with her work, and said with a smile, "That won't do. Since I said I'd give you one, he has to agree even if he doesn't agree. The male comrades have to listen to the decisions of us female comrades as well!

We only need this one. We bought an extra one because we were worried that one would not be enough, but it has been sitting upstairs unused.”

Liu Shengli's wife asked, "Isn't this what Xiao Jia did? Why does he want money?"

Qin Huairu said seriously, "This is also a public item, so we have to spend money to buy it. We are very satisfied to be the first batch to use it, so how can we take advantage of the public?

I heard from Dongxu that this furnace played a big role this time, otherwise the factory workers would have gone hungry again. "

"Oh? The workers in the steel mill are hungry? That's impossible. The workers in the steel mill do physical work. If they are hungry, how can they work?" Liu Shengli's wife said in surprise.

"I work in the canteen of the steel mill. A director came here some time ago..."

"Ah? There are still such stupid people. They don't want such cheap vegetables and go to buy expensive ones. They deserve to be arrested." Liu Shengli's wife said.

After chatting for a while, they packed up everything.

After Qin Huairu finished cleaning up, she went to clean up the equipment for pulling.

"Xiao Qin, you should take a rest first. We will go home after Shengli wakes up." Liu Shengli's wife said, and the three of them reported their names in a moment.

"That won't work. Dongxu said there will be another meal in the evening and the people from their factory can come along. We can split the table into two and have a lively time." Qin Huairu said.

Liu Shengli's younger brother, who was pumping water for them, heard the lively atmosphere at night and said he would stay too. Liu Shengli's wife nodded in agreement.

A few people looked at the little girl happily playing with the rain and nodded in agreement.

When Jia Dongxu woke up, it was already past 2 p.m. Sha Zhu had already gone to the steel mill, and Liu Shengli was playing with his sisters in the yard.

Thinking that he was about to go to Jiajia Village, he had not prepared all the things yet.

"Hey, Liu Shengli, you are going to Jia Village tomorrow. Didn't I ask you to prepare your textbooks? Where are your preparations?"

"Someone will bring them over in the evening, and then they will take my brother and sister back." Liu Shengli said.

"Huh? Your wife isn't going back?" Jia Dongxu asked.

Liu Shengli smiled and said, "I'm not going back. We just agreed to go to Jia Village with me tomorrow."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu looked around anxiously, trying to find Liu Shengli's wife.

"Well, where is she? I'd like to persuade her to go. Life there is too hard. If she goes, there is no place to stay. It's not suitable for a lesbian."

My goodness, if he goes, he will suffer. Liu Shengli is really willing to do this.

"She went back to get something and will be back soon." Liu Shengli said, "Your sister-in-law has made an agreement with Xiao Qin to stay at her home in Jiajia Village."

"The school is short of teachers now. My wife can teach several classes there. Besides, it's just right for us to be together as a couple. There's no reason for us to separate."

After hearing this, Jia Dongxu said speechlessly, "Well, okay, if that's the case, then you can take her there. Don't blame me when the time comes, saying that I tricked your wife over there."

"Haha, let's not talk about you. Just build the school." Liu Shengli said, paused, and then said, "I also think the planning of that place is good. I'm waiting for you to build it."

"Okay, since you said so, let's go." Jia Dongxu nodded in agreement.

"I'll go talk to them and ask them to prepare a chicken for you every day so that you can have good nutrition." Liu Shengli said, "Now you look better and your face has color."

"Yeah, I also feel more energetic than before." Jia Dongxu said with a smile. Sha Zhu made a really good wine, and he would have to ask him to prepare more later.

"Let's go to the steel rolling mill. I said yesterday that I would invite a few section chiefs to have a drink. Let's come together later." Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

The two walked towards the steel mill. On the way, Liu Shengli thought of what Jia Dongxu had said. "By the way, you said someone set a trap for you. What's going on?"

"It's not a trap, it's just a tacit understanding." Jia Dongxu said, and then smiled softly, "This has to be attributed to our factory director. He just chose this time when the production was declining to go to Jiajia Village.

He asked me to be in charge of the factory affairs as the assistant to the factory director, so that he would not have to deal with the deputy director sent by the higher-ups and avoid conflicts with them.

Then I will use production to squeeze him out and drive him away."

"How does your factory manager know that you will squeeze him?" Liu Shengli asked puzzledly.

Jia Dongxu paused, thinking about the meeting he had with them at Wang Tongming's place before. He guessed that Wang Tongming was thinking about leaving at that time.

Fortunately, I removed Yang Weiguo from the responsibility of weapons production, otherwise this good opportunity would have been wasted.

However, the coordination in the workshop was really strange. It seemed that Zhang Huaiqing also contributed.

My goodness, will this make the higher-ups think that the steel mill is forming cliques?

"Well, I demoted all four workshop directors to deputy directors due to the decline in production, but the deputy factory director, Kitasato, remained the same. He probably knew I was going to make him a deputy factory director."

"Sheng Er, I have a concern for you. Do you think the higher-ups will think that our steel mill is in a coalition?"

"Haha, if I hadn't been watching, I would have thought you were banding together to take delivery." Liu Shengli said, then thought for a moment, "But it seems like they all listen to you more."

"How can you not listen? I am their logistics officer. If they don't listen to me, they will have to endure going hungry.

What's more, I got to the top based on my real ability, so they have to admit that.

Look, did I resolve this crisis?

If they were allowed to go, they would all be defeated.”
