Chapter 114 Lonely Jia Dongxu
In the following days, everything returned to normal.
In addition to going to work at Fengze Garden every day, He Daqing would occasionally go to the Lou family to send warmth to a certain lady. While taking care of Qin Huairu, he also did not forget to give acupuncture to his mother-in-law who lived next door.
As things pile up one after another, it becomes clear that He Daqing is really busy.
“Hey, it’s not easy to be a good person!”
He Daqing sighed silently.
When will I change my helpful character?
"Uncle He, feed the chickens!"
That day, when He Daqing was feeding chickens in the yard, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.
When I turned around, I saw Jia Dongxu getting dressed and getting ready for work.
It takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone. Ever since he fell from the roof last time, Jia Dongxu has not been to work and has been recuperating at home.
Normally he should lie down for another two months, but Jia Dongxu felt bored and decided to go to work early.
It just so happened that during this period, the Jia family's house was also repaired by Xu Youliang, so Jia Dongxu moved in.
"Dongxu, you should take care of your injuries. Young people should also take care of their health!"
Seeing Dongxu greeting him, He Daqing also responded with a smile.
The kid Dongxu next door is much better than Jia Zhang. At least he is very polite to me.
"It's not a big deal, Uncle He, I'm going to work!"
Jia Dongxu smiled and walked out the door.
Now he is a young man in his twenties. It is not a good thing for him to hang out with Xu Youliang every day, especially at night. Listening to the sound of Xu Youliang and his mother doing that, Jia Dongxu feels uncomfortable.
And this is also the reason why he moved here.
Of course, Jia Dongxu also wanted to get married. If he just lay down all the time, his wife would not come to him. So, Jia Dongxu planned to start working early and save more money for his marriage.
After all, the Red Star Steel Mill has now become a public-private partnership, and its prospects are very good!
Before he knew it, Jia Dongxu arrived at the steel rolling mill and met his master Yi Zhonghai, and officially started working.
But Jia Dongxu discovered that after nearly a month of not seeing each other, Yi Zhonghai's attitude towards him had obviously become much colder.
Yes, if they hadn’t lit the big fire, Master Yi Zhonghai’s house wouldn’t have been burned.
Thinking of this, Jia Dongxu no longer dared to talk about becoming a regular employee. He could only endure the physical discomfort and work twice as hard.
time flies.
That day, when Jia Dongxu was passing by Zhengyang Gate, he suddenly heard a loud sound of gongs and drums, and he couldn't help but stop.
However, when he looked in the direction of the sound and saw the tavern decorated with lights, he was stunned.
Yes, I heard He Yuzhu say yesterday that today seems to be the wedding day of He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi.
Although Jia Dongxu kept reminding himself that this matter had nothing to do with him, he couldn't help but think of Xu Huizhi in his mind. He arrived at the door of the tavern without anyone noticing.
There were quite a few people in the tavern today.
Although He Laonian usually added a lot of water to the wine, the neighbors who had lived there for many years came to watch when they saw He Yongqiang getting married.
Jia Dongxu was deaf to the noise all around him.
His gaze simply passed through the crowd and fixed on the woman in red.
Today, Xu Huizhi is dressed in festive red from head to toe.
Xu Huizhi was already good-looking, and after dressing up a little, she became even more beautiful.
Jia Dongxu had to admit that although Xu Huizhi had become someone else's wife, he still couldn't help but be moved when they met again.
"If I had been rich enough, she would have married me now, right?"
Jia Dongxu couldn't help but fantasize in his heart.
But the more I thought about it, the funnier I found myself.
How rich can I be? Even if I worked in a steel mill for more than ten years, I couldn't afford to open a pub like this, right?
It was not until he saw He Yongqiang and Xu Huizhi holding hands that Jia Dongxu could no longer bear it and turned around and left.
"it's all over."
"I should find a suitable woman for myself."
Jia Dongxu said to himself in his heart.
But for some reason, I still feel inexplicable heartache and loss.
However, not long after Jia Dongxu left, complaints from guests could be heard in He Laonian’s yard.
"Hey, He Laonian, ah He Laonian, you are really stingy. Today is your son's wedding day, and you're also serving us watered-down wine?"
"That's right, it's all water after one sip. What the hell is this drink?"
"He Laonian, bring out your good wine!"
But it was the relatives and friends who drank the watered-down wine again.
"Oh, it's a mistake, it must be a mistake."
When He Laonian saw this scene, his old face couldn't help but turn red.
Although he was reluctant to use good wine to entertain guests, it was his son's wedding after all, so he diluted the wine a little. Unexpectedly, these old drunkards still drank it up.
"Yongqiang, Yongqiang, go get the wine that was just brought in yesterday, and let everyone drink as much as they want today!"
He Laonian said to He Yongqiang.
Well, the wine I brought back from my in-laws yesterday is still unopened. It’s authentic Niulanshan Erguotou.
I was originally thinking of buying some for money, but given the current situation, I would lose face if I don’t take it out.
"Okay daddy!"
He Yongqiang smiled helplessly, and quickly took a few people to take out a jar of new wine to entertain the guests.
For a moment, there were exclamations of admiration coming from the yard again.
“Great, delicious!”
"Haha, this is wine, what was that you drank just now?"
"Good wine, this dish tastes so good!"
"Come on, come on, cheers! It's rare to make He Laonian bleed so much, we must have fun today!"
So, these relatives, friends and neighbors clinked glasses and drank wine in big gulps.
He Laonian felt so distressed when he saw this scene.
If he added some water, it would be enough for him to make a lot of money.
But now...
What a waste, what a waste, what a waste of food!
"Hey, drink less, you guys are all getting old, take care of your health!"
He Laonian followed his son and daughter-in-law to toast one by one, but he also persuaded them,
"It's not that I'm stingy, this wine has a high alcohol content and drinking too much is harmful to your health!"
"Come on, come on, feel free...feel free..."
He Laonian has been stingy all his life, and today, everyone toasted him one by one, which was like a knife cutting into his heart. It was so painful.
Niu Ye and others looked at He Laonian's deflated look and laughed.
Xu Huizhi, who was standing nearby, saw this scene and felt a little uncomfortable.
My father-in-law is good in every way except that he is too stingy.
It's fine if he's stingy on weekdays, but today is his wedding day, what kind of thing is this...
"No, I have to find a way to control the financial power of this family from now on, otherwise, how will I live?"
Xu Huizhi thought secretly in her heart and had already started to plan.
