Chapter 69: Banggeng recognizes his relatives
Chapter 69: Banggen Recognizes Relatives (Part ) (Thanks to Master Yonezu for the monthly ticket!)
"That's great, congratulations!"
Listening to Wang Changjun's story, Li Kailang congratulated him and left.
His main purpose of coming here was to get the certificate, and they were almost getting off work after chatting.
When I returned to the transport team, there was nothing to do, so I just waited for the bell to ring.
"Unity is strength
unity is strength
This force is iron
This strength is steel."
"get off work!"
A group of workers left the steel mill in a large crowd, like a large army, forming a spectacular landscape. Everyone had a smile on their face, except Jia Dongxu.
His face was pale and solemn, in stark contrast to the joyful atmosphere around him.
These days, without Yi Zhonghai's protection, Jia Dongxu can be said to have had a lot of bad luck.
At work, he couldn't even complete the most basic workpieces smoothly, which led to him being scolded repeatedly by the workshop director.
It was already the simplest workpiece, but Jia Dongxu still made mistakes, which dealt a great blow to his self-esteem and brought him to the bottom of his mood.
Jia Dongxu also encountered huge difficulties in interpersonal relationships.
Fellow workers were unwilling to be with him, whether for talking, smoking, resting or eating. Even Yi Zhonghai kept his distance from him.
Although Yi Zhonghai did not say it explicitly, everyone has seen it in the past few days. Jia Dongxu almost severed the master-disciple relationship with Yi Zhonghai.
In the past, with Yi Zhonghai around, people had restrained their behavior towards Jia Dongxu, but now, Yi Zhonghai no longer protects him.
No one was polite to Jia Dongxu anymore.
"Master, wait for me." Jia Dongxu shouted to Yi Zhonghai in front of him.
However, Yi Zhonghai pretended not to hear anything and continued chatting with Sha Zhu in a random manner.
"Jia Dongxu, was he kicked out of the sect by Yi Gong?" a co-worker laughed.
"I think, nine times out of ten, it's Jia Dongxu, tsk tsk tsk~"
"I think so too. If it wasn't so embarrassing, Yi Gong would have said it a long time ago."
Fellow workers mocked Jia Dongxu.
At this time, the master-apprentice relationship is taken very seriously. Unless the apprentice does something too excessive, the master will generally not kick the apprentice out.
Jia Dongxu is in this situation.
Listening to the sarcasm and ridicule around him, Jia Dongxu was powerless to refute, which was something everyone could see.
"No! We can't go on like this!" Jia Dongxu said in his heart.
In the past few days, he saw the situation clearly. Without Yi Zhonghai, he was nothing.
Seeing the backs of Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu walking away, Jia Dongxu stared with his eyes fixed, clenched his teeth, thinking about something in his mind. Finally, he hardened his heart and ran straight to the courtyard.
"Hey, this Jia Dongxu is becoming more and more unruly. Let me show you how I'll deal with him when I get back."
Sha Zhu looked at Jia Dongxu and said something dissatisfied as he saw Jia Dongxu ran over without saying hello to Yi Zhonghai.
"Silly, forget it."
Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu's anxious expression and knew that he could not hold on any longer.
In the past few days, Yi Zhonghai has been secretly making efforts to force Jia Dongxu.
"Uncle, you can't spoil Jia Dongxu. You can't just indulge him just because he is your apprentice!" Sha Zhu kindly reminded.
Ever since Yi Zhonghai decided on Sha Zhu as his retirement target, the relationship between the two families has taken a step further and sometimes Yi Zhonghai would accept what Sha Zhu said.
"Don't worry, I can handle this matter myself." Yi Zhonghai said.
Hearing this, Sha Zhu didn't say much.
On the other side, Jia Dongxu ran quickly back home.
"Dongxu, what's wrong with you?" Qin Huairu was cooking and looked at Jia Dongxu who was panting and asked with concern.
Jia Dongxu looked around and didn't see Jia Zhangshi, so he asked:
"Where's mom? Where did she go?"
"I went out with Banggeng in the afternoon and hasn't come back yet." Qin Huairu replied.
Ever since Jia Zhang stayed in the detention center for a few days, he has been inseparable from Bang Geng since he came back.
Jia Zhang was also on guard against Yi Zhonghai, and the recognition of her relatives deeply stimulated her. In order to firmly control Bang Geng, she took Bang Geng out to eat, drink and have fun every day during this period.
At the same time, Jia Zhang and Bang Geng crossed the hanging flower gate in the front yard.
"Banggeng, be good. What are you going to say when you go back?" asked Jia Zhang.
"The grandma next door gave me this delicious food." Banggeng replied.
"Oh! Banggeng is so smart! He really deserves to be my great grandson!" Jia Zhang said happily.
As soon as they entered the door, they saw Jia Dongxu looking at the two of them with a gloomy face.
"Dad~" Bang Geng said a little scared.
"Oh no! Could Dongxu have known about this?" Jia Zhang thought to herself that something was not good and quickly put the stick behind her.
"Dongxu, what's wrong? Are you sick?" Jia Zhang changed the subject.
"Mom, I'm fine. Why are you back so late?"
"Oh, isn't this afternoon when I'm going to chat with Mr. Zhang next door? I'll bring Bang Geng with me."
With Jia Zhang's personality, it is difficult for her to make friends in her own courtyard, but she can make friends in other courtyards.
Of course, Jia Zhang's behavior of being a scoundrel can only be shown in her own home. If she dares to act like a scoundrel in other courtyards, people will not tolerate her.
Outsiders also knew Jia Zhang's temper, but Jia Zhang didn't dare to show it in public, so naturally she didn't offend them.
They were just chatting and were not even ordinary friends. Their usual interactions were just superficial chats. They always kept a certain distance and were wary of Jia Zhang.
"Okay, let's eat first after we get back. I have something to talk to you about after we finish eating." Jia Dongxu said directly.
When Qin Huairu heard the sound, she came out of the kitchen with the food and saw the crumbs left on Banggeng's collar.
These days, the two of them went out to eat, drink and have fun. Qin Huairu knew about it, but she just didn't say it out loud.
"Dinner is ready, go wash your hands!" Qin Huairu could only pretend not to know.
As soon as they had the meal, the truth was revealed.
"Banggeng, why don't you eat anymore? Don't you want to eat anymore?" Jia Dongxu asked.
Compared to his usual voracious eating habits, Bang Geng only ate a little bit today. It was impossible for Jia Dongxu not to notice such an obvious change.
"I, I." Bang Geng hesitated and looked at Jia Zhang unconsciously.
Jia Zhang was also a little worried, hesitating and unable to think of a solution.
"Forget it, if you don't want to eat, just go and have fun!" Jia Dongxu was absent-minded and didn't continue asking.
Hearing this, Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief. If Jia Dongxu got angry, they didn't know what to do.
"Dongxu, what do you want to say?" Qin Huairu asked with concern.
Seeing how Jia Dongxu brushed off even such an important matter as eating so lightly, the two knew that Jia Dongxu had something important to say and felt a little uneasy.
"Yes, Dongxu, just tell me, otherwise I'll be so scared!" Jia Zhang said uneasily.
Hearing this, Jia Dongxu put down his bowl and chopsticks, paused for a moment and said: "Mom, I plan to let Banggeng recognize Yi Zhonghai as his relative."
"What! Dongxu, what did you say!" Jia Zhang suddenly became furious and shouted loudly.
These days, she tried her best to give Banggeng good food and drink, just to prevent Banggeng from recognizing her relatives.
"This is impossible, absolutely impossible!" Jia Zhang firmly objected.
"Unless I die, Banggeng will never recognize Yi Zhonghai, that old, damned old man, as his relative." As he said this, his eyes were fixed on Jia Dongxu.
"Did that old bastard ask you to do this? Did you get treated unfairly at the factory? Tell mom, I'll go settle the score with that old bastard!"
Jia Zhang hit the nail on the head. The only things that could cause Jia Dongxu to suffer injustice were the courtyard house and the steel rolling mill.
The courtyard has been "calm" in recent days, and only the steel rolling mill has made Jia Dongxu suffer any grievances.
"Mom, don't think too much. I thought about this for a long time before deciding!"
How could Jia Dongxu let Jia Zhang cause trouble for Yi Zhonghai? This would ruin all his plans.
"Impossible, you'd better give up this idea as soon as possible!" Jia Zhang refused firmly.
No matter what Jia Dongxu said, she refused to give in.
