Chapter 160 Novice Protection Period!
At seven o'clock in the morning, the system's sign-in sound woke Jia Dongming up from his deep sleep. However, what surprised Jia Dongming was that, apart from supplies and money, Jia Dongming did not sign in for any skills today.

This result surprised Jia Dongming, so he communicated with the system with his mind: "System! Why is there no skill in today's sign-in?"

"Host! You have passed the novice protection period. Except for special days, there will be no more skill rewards in other time periods." The system received Jia Dongming's thoughts and immediately told Jia Dongming the reason.

After Jia Dongming received the information transmitted by the system, he understood the reason, then put on his clothes and walked out of the house.

When Jia Dongming walked out of the house, he saw Master Lei who was repairing the old house of the Jia family. He immediately took out a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes from his pocket, walked quickly to Master Lei, handed a cigarette to each of the masters present, and then asked Master Lei: "Master Lei! I want to open a separate door in my yard, on the wall close to the alley. Do you think this is okay?"

Master Lei took the cigarette handed to him by Jia Dongming, put it between his ears, and then asked Jia Dongming: "Boss! Are you going to open a big door? Or a small door?"

When Jia Dongming heard Master Lei's question, he immediately answered, "Master Lei! I just need to open a small door that is convenient for entry and exit. After all, my job is special and I often come back very late. Occasionally, I can ask the old man in the yard to open the door. Of course, there is no problem. If I often trouble others to get up in the middle of the night to open the door for me, I will feel embarrassed, so I thought of opening a separate door."

When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's answer, he immediately nodded and replied, "Boss! You have cement and everything else ready here. Just go buy a door and I can help you make a door on the wall according to the size of the door."

When Jia Dongming heard Master Lei's answer, he immediately asked Master Lei, "Master Lei! Do you have this door ready for sale?"

When Master Lei heard Jia Dongming's question, he nodded subconsciously and replied: "Boss! You can go to the trust store to have a look. If the trust store doesn't have it, you can only go to Tongxinghe Woodware Store, but you need a timber ticket to buy wooden doors there."

After hearing what Master Lei said, Jia Dongming nodded and said, "Okay, Master Lei! Then I'll go to the trust store during the lunch break."

At around seven-thirty in the morning, Yi Zhonghai was getting ready to go out for work as usual. However, when he just walked out of the house, he saw Jia Dongming pushing a bicycle, leading Qin Huairu and Banggeng, mother and son, out of the courtyard, like a family of three.

Although the deaf old lady had clearly told Yi Zhonghai that there was little hope that Jia Dongming would provide for him in his old age, Yi Zhonghai felt very unwilling when he thought about his investment in the Jia family over the years. In addition, Jia Dongming's income was so high that if Jia Dongming was willing to provide for them in their old age, they would have no worries in the future. Therefore, from the time Jia Dongming moved into the yard until now, Yi Zhonghai has been secretly observing Jia Dongming's character.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Jia Dongming pushing his bicycle, he thought of what happened in the yard last night and greeted Jia Dongming cordially, "Chief Jia! Good morning!"

Jia Dongming saw Yi Zhonghai taking the initiative to greet him. Although he was very disgusted with this hypocritical hypocrite, he still politely greeted him, "Uncle! Good morning!"

Qin Huairu, who was standing by, also greeted Yi Zhonghai politely when she saw him, "Uncle! Good morning!"

When Jia Dongming said this, he thought of Jia Zhang's thoughts and reminded Bang Geng who was following him: "Bang Geng! How did I teach you? Why don't you take the initiative to say hello to an old man when you see him?"

Bang Geng, who was following Jia Dongming, heard Jia Dongming's reminder and immediately greeted Yi Zhonghai obediently: "Uncle! Good morning!"

Yi Zhonghai was very surprised to see Jia Dongming remind Banggeng to say hello to him, and he quickly said to Banggeng happily: "Banggeng! Good morning to you too!"

After Yi Zhonghai greeted Bang Geng, thinking about the commotion in the yard last night, he curiously asked Jia Dongming: "Chief Jia! Old Yan came to your house so late last night to call you. Did something happen in the factory?" When Jia Dongming heard Yi Zhonghai asking about what happened last night, he did not deliberately hide it. He smiled and introduced: "Uncle! Last night, someone, under the cover of darkness, was about to sneak into the scrap warehouse to steal scrap steel, but was discovered by our patrol team. The patrol team was worried that it was an enemy spy who was sabotaging, so they sent someone to the yard to report the situation to me overnight."

After hearing what Jia Dongming said, Yi Zhonghai immediately asked him, "Chief Jia! Has the thief been caught?"

Facing Yi Zhonghai's question, Jia Dongming nodded subconsciously and replied, "Of course we caught him. He was Qian Quezi, who worked in the boiler room of our steel mill. Based on the clues Qian Quezi confessed, we destroyed an underground casino and arrested many people, including more than a dozen workers from our steel mill. They are still in the detention room."

"What! Chief Jia! You raided an underground casino last night and arrested more than a dozen gamblers from our steel mill. Is this true?" When the second uncle Liu Haizhong heard what Jia Dongming and Yi Zhonghai had introduced, an incredible expression appeared on his face and he confirmed this matter with Jia Dongming.

When Jia Dongming heard Liu Haizhong's question and saw Liu Haizhong walking out of the backyard with a big belly, he smiled and replied, "Second Uncle! Good morning! This is absolutely true, and among these dozen workers, three are from your forging workshop."

When Liu Haizhong learned that the people arrested also included people from their forging workshop, he asked Jia Dongming with a curious look on his face, "Chief Jia! Who are the people arrested from our forging workshop?"

When Jia Dongming heard Liu Haizhong's question and thought of the list of workers who had been arrested, he answered, "Second uncle! One is named Zhang Bin! Another is named Cui Ergou, and the other is named Chen Hua."

"What! Chen Hua! I was wondering why this guy was breathing heavily during work these two days. It turns out he went to the casino to gamble at night." When Liu Haizhong heard Jia Dongming mention Chen Hua's name, an angry expression immediately appeared on his face and he cursed.

Seeing Liu Haizhong's reaction, Jia Dongming immediately guessed that this Chen Hua was most likely Liu Haizhong's apprentice, but he pretended to be confused and said, "Second Uncle! Could this Chen Hua be your apprentice?"

When Liu Haizhong heard Jia Dongming's question, he immediately showed an expression of disappointment on his face, and replied: "Chief Jia! You are right about Dongming. This Chen Hua is my apprentice. When I arrive at the factory today, you will see how I deal with him."

When Jia Dongming heard what Liu Haizhong said and saw the look of disappointment on Liu Haizhong's face, he quickly reminded Liu Haizhong: "Second Uncle! Although the apprentice is half a son, this is not the old society anymore. You can't just hit the apprentice at will. That would be a mistake."

When Liu Haizhong heard Jia Dongming's reminder, he remembered what Jia Dongming had said to him two days ago. His originally angry face immediately revealed an embarrassed expression. He nodded and said to Jia Dongming: "Chief Jia! Don't worry, I have changed a lot now. Under normal circumstances, I will never hit anyone."

"This Chen Hua doesn't rest at night and actually has the energy to go gambling. When I go to work, I will assign him some heavy and tiring work to see if he still has the energy to go gambling in the future."

Jia Dongming was very supportive of Liu Haizhong's method. Thinking that it was almost time to go to work, Jia Dongming politely greeted Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong, "Uncle! Uncle! It's getting late. Huairu and I will leave first."

As Jia Dongming spoke, he pushed his bicycle towards the Chuihua Gate.

Liu Haizhong was about to say something else when he saw Jia Dongming pushing his bicycle towards the front yard. He smiled and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi! Let's get going!"

Yi Zhonghai watched the backs of Jia Dongming and Qin Huairu disappearing through the Chuihua Gate. He didn't know why, but he always had a very strange feeling in his heart. However, he couldn't tell what was strange for a while.
