Chapter 62 Tavern!
Chapter 62 Tavern!
"Dongming! When I just came back, I heard Yan Jiecheng scolding Yan Laoxi in the front yard, saying that the Yan family has no relationship with our Jia family, and why should our Jia family arrange a job for Yan Jiecheng? What is going on? Does Yan Laoxi want to find you to ask for a job for their eldest son?" After watching Qin Huairu wash the clothes and go to the kitchen to cook dinner, Jia Zhang remembered that she had just come back from a walk and heard the conversation between the father and son of the Yan family at the gate of the compound. She asked Jia Dongming with curiosity.
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhangshi asking him about Yan Bugui's request for a job, he thought of Yan Bugui's plan and replied with disdain, "Mom! Yan Bugui heard that I helped Huairu get a job, so he wanted to get me to help his family find a job."
"What! Old West Yan wants you to help Yan Jiecheng find a job, but he's reluctant to pay. This Yan Bugui is really an expert in calculating. The abacus beads are clacking loudly, and he actually plans to ask for a job for his eldest son without paying a penny. Old West Yan is really dreaming!" When Jia Zhang learned that Yan Bugui asked Jia Dongming for a job, her face suddenly became extremely gloomy and she cursed Yan Bugui for being shameless.
Seeing Jia Zhang cursing Yan Bugui for being shameless, Jia Dongming did not stop her from getting angry, because Jia Dongming knew that once such things were spoken, given the characters of those beasts in the courtyard, they would definitely rush to pounce on the Jia family and suck their blood.
Seeing Jia Zhang's furious look, Jia Dongming smiled and said to her, "Mom! First of all, the Yan family and our family are not related at all. Even if we are relatives, I have no obligation or responsibility to help the Yan family for free, so I rejected Yan Bugui on the spot."
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's answer and thought of the character of the Yan family father and son, she reminded Jia Dongming: "Dongming! With Yan Laoxi's character, he will definitely not give up. Even if Yan Bugui agrees to pay for the job, you can't agree to help Yan Bugui."
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's instructions, he showed a surprised expression on his face and asked Jia Zhang curiously, "Mom! Given Yan Bugui's personality, if he was willing to help Yan Jiecheng find a job, he wouldn't have dragged it on until now. But why don't you agree to let me do this?"
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's question and thought about the personalities of the other residents in the courtyard, she said to Jia Dongming seriously, "Dongming! Although our courtyard is an excellent quadrangle, there are not many good people in our courtyard. Once you open your mouth and agree to help Yan Bugui, the other people in the courtyard will definitely come to our house."
"If you help at that time, it will probably affect your work. If you don't help, people in the hospital will curse our Jia family behind our backs and slander our Jia family."
Jia Zhang's words made Jia Dongming feel very incredible. The image of Jia Zhang in his mind changed drastically at this moment.
Thinking of the plot in the courtyard, Jia Zhang was arrogant and unreasonable, summoning Old Jia at every turn all day long, while Qin Huairu acted like a filial daughter-in-law. Jia Dongming suddenly realized that what the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law did was completely to gain sympathy and was performed specifically for the residents in the courtyard.
Realizing this, Jia Dongming gave Jia Zhang a thumbs up and said with admiration, "Mom! I didn't expect that you can really see through the personalities of these residents in this courtyard."
When Jia Zhang heard Jia Dongming's praise, a proud expression appeared on her face, and she said smugly, "Dongming! If I, your mother, hadn't ordered anything, your brother and I would have been eaten up by others after your father passed away."
When Jia Dongming heard what Jia Zhang said, he smiled and said to her, "Mom! Actually, I had already thought of this from the beginning, so I took advantage of Yan Bugui's money-loving character and asked Yan Bugui to pay for the work station. After all, there are more people in our compound who want to work than just the Yan family." "Mom! Uncle! Dinner is ready, you guys eat first. I'll go to the next compound and call Banggeng and Xiaodang back for dinner." Jia Dongming's words had just fallen when Qin Huairu walked out of the main room and shouted to Jia Dongming and Jia Zhang.
When Jia Dongming heard Qin Huairu's words, he suddenly remembered the child who blocked his way, and quickly said to Jia Zhang: "Mom! I have an appointment to discuss something tonight. I have to eat something first, and then go out to meet my friends."
When Jia Zhang learned that Jia Dongming had something to do in the evening, she immediately said to Jia Dongming: "Dongming! Since you have something to do in the evening, let's eat quickly!"
"Grandma! Uncle! We are back." Just as Jia Zhang and her son Jia Dongming were sitting at the dining table eating, Banggeng ran into the main room from outside with sweat all over his forehead and shouted happily to them.
When Jia Zhang saw Bang Geng coming back, she immediately showed a kind smile on her face and asked him affectionately, "My dear grandson, where have you been playing? Why is your head so sweaty? Hurry up and ask your mother to wash you, and then eat quickly."
When Jia Dongming finished his dinner, it was already 6:20. Thinking of the mysterious man who had made an appointment with him, Jia Dongming didn't think any more about it and rode his bicycle towards Qianmen Street.
"Boss Xu! Give us two, two taels of wine and a plate of pickles each!" At around 6:50, Jia Dongming finally arrived at the door of the tavern on Qianmen Street. Just as Jia Dongming parked his bicycle and was about to enter the tavern, two middle-aged men walked into the tavern before him and shouted to the young woman standing at the counter.
When Jia Dongming heard the shouts of the two middle-aged men, he was visibly stunned. An idea immediately came to his mind, and he asked himself secretly in his heart: "Could it be that the world I traveled through is not the world of Love in the Courtyard, but a world composed of multiple film and television dramas."
With this thought in mind, Jia Dongming immediately walked into the tavern. When he saw the young woman standing at the counter, who looked 70% similar to Xu Huizhen in The Little Woman of Zhengyang Gate, he was almost certain in his heart that the world he traveled to was a world composed of multiple film and television worlds.
Xu Huizhen, who was standing at the counter at the time, saw Jia Dongming walking into the tavern from outside. As she had run the tavern for many years, she immediately realized that the guest in front of her was not a regular customer of their tavern. She hurriedly stepped forward and greeted Jia Dongming enthusiastically: "Comrade! If I'm not mistaken, this seems to be your first time in our tavern, right?"
When Jia Dongming heard what Xu Huizhen said, he immediately smiled and replied, "Madam Boss! You really have a good eye. If it wasn't for my friend who asked me to come here to sit in the evening, I wouldn't have known there was a tavern here."
