Chapter 404 The bustling Jia Village!

The next morning, after having breakfast at Jia Dongming's house, Jia Fuqiang happily took the bus back to Jiajia Village, taking the corn flour and wine that Jia Dongming gave him.

It was a little after ten in the morning. At this time, in Jiajia Village, a group of villagers were chatting under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village. One of the young men looked at Jia Dongzhe sitting on the stone and immediately asked him with a smile: "Dongzhe! I heard that my third uncle went to the city again. Why didn't you go with my third uncle this time?"

When Jia Dongzhe heard the young man's question, he remembered that before his father went into the city yesterday, he had also asked to go into the city with his father, but was severely scolded by his father.

Thinking of what happened yesterday, Jia Dongzhe showed a frustrated expression on his face, and said to the middle-aged man: "Fourth brother! I also want to go to the city with my father and watch TV at my cousin's house, but my father said he would not agree to anything, so I had to give up."

The young man whom Jia Dongzhe called "fourth brother" was named Jia Dajun. His grandfather was a cousin of Jia Dongzhe's grandfather. When Jia Dajun heard Jia Dongzhe mention the TV, he asked Jia Dongzhe curiously, "Dongzhe! Is that TV really that good?"

When Jia Dongzhe heard Jia Dajun's question, he thought of the TV programs he watched at Jia Dongming's house. A proud expression appeared on his face, and he introduced them to Jia Dajun in a very proud tone: "Fourth brother! Watching TV is actually the same as watching a movie. The only difference is that you have to wait for the projectionist to come before you can watch a movie, but you can watch TV at home every day."

When the surrounding villagers heard what Jia Dongzhe had said, one of them immediately asked him, "Dongzhe! What movies did your family watch during the two days you were in the city?"

Jia Dongzhe heard the villager's question and saw everyone's curious looks. He smiled and introduced them to everyone, "Uncle Eleven! The TV doesn't start until six o'clock every evening. During the two days I was in the city, I watched four movies and two operas in total."

While Jia Dongzhe was introducing the process of watching TV to everyone, a young man saw Jia Fuqiang walking on the dirt road into the village with a cloth bag on his back in the distance, and immediately shouted to Jia Dongzhe: "Seventh brother! Look, does that man in the distance look like your father?"

When Jia Dongzhe heard the young man's shout, he instinctively looked towards the dirt road leading into the village in the distance. He saw Jia Fuqiang carrying a cloth bag on his back and shouted happily, "That's right! My dad is back. I'll go see him now."

Jia Dongzhe ran to Jia Fuqiang quickly, and seeing Jia Fuqiang carrying a cloth bag on his back, he happily asked him, "Dad! Why did you come back so soon? My cousin asked the postman to call you into the city. What's the matter?"

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongzhe ask why he went to the city this time, he handed the cloth bag on his back to Jia Dongzhe and said to him happily, "Second brother! Your cousin called me to the city again, but there is a great thing. Let's go back!"

"Dad! What good news is it?" Jia Dongzhe asked Jia Fuqiang impatiently without waiting for Jia Fuqiang to finish his words.

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongzhe's question, he wanted to tell Jia Dongzhe the good news. However, thinking of Jia Dongzhe's character, Jia Fuqiang finally gave up the idea and said to Jia Dongzhe, "What good news! Let's talk about it when we get home."

When Jia Dongzhe heard Jia Fuqiang's words, he immediately showed a disappointed expression on his face. Thinking of Jia Fuqiang's visit to the city this time, not only did he eat and drink well at Jia Dongming's house, but he also watched TV, he showed an envious expression on his face and quickly asked Jia Fuqiang: "Dad! What delicious food did your cousin treat you to when you went to his house this time? Did you watch TV last night? What movie was on TV?"

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongzhe asking about his trip to the city yesterday, he immediately remembered the scene at Jia Dongming's house last night, where Jia Dongming treated him with good wine and delicious food. A happy expression immediately appeared on his face, and he smiled and introduced Jia Dongzhe: "Dongzhe! I went to your cousin's house yesterday, and your cousin prepared a lot of good wine and good food. When I came back in the morning, he also prepared 20 kilograms of corn flour for me, plus two bottles of good wine." "Uncle Fuqiang! You're back from the city?"

"Brother Fuqiang! You're back."

"Brother Fuqiang! Nephew Dongming asked you to come to the city this time. Is there something good going on?"

Jia Fuqiang and Jia Dongzhe walked to the village entrance together. When the villagers gathered at the entrance saw Jia Fuqiang coming back, they immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

When Jia Fuqiang heard the villagers' questions and saw their enthusiastic expressions, he instinctively stopped and greeted them with a smile: "Fujun! Fuguo! Why are you all gathered here today? Dongming from my family wants to see me, so he asked the postman to send me a letter to go to the city."

When Jia Fujun heard what Jia Fuqiang had said, he immediately asked him curiously, "Brother Fuqiang! Nephew Dongming asked you to come to the city. Is there something good going on?"

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Fujun's question, he thought of the fact that Jia Dongming had given their family a job quota, and a smug smile appeared on his face. He answered, "It's not a big deal. The steel mill is going to expand its recruitment, and my eldest nephew just happened to have a job quota, so he gave our family a quota to go to the city to work as a worker."

"What! Dad! Are you telling the truth? Did my cousin really give our family a quota to go to the city to work as workers?" When Jia Dongzhe heard what Jia Fuqiang said, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, and he quickly confirmed the news with Jia Fuqiang.

When the other villagers around learned the reason why Jia Fuqiang went to the city, expressions of surprise and envy appeared on their faces.

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Dongzhe's question and saw everyone's envious eyes, he nodded very affirmatively and said to Jia Dongzhe, "This is absolutely true, but there is only one target. In order to keep the two of you brothers from getting on bad terms, when you get home, you two brothers will draw lots to decide. Whoever draws the right one will go to the city to work as a worker."

After Jia Dongzhe confirmed the news, he was so excited that he nodded and replied, "Dad! My brother has gone into the mountains. I will take the things home first, and then go to the mountains to call my brother back."

"Brother Fuqiang! Brother Fugui went to the city to work as a worker, and now someone in your family is also going to work in the city. Our village will depend on your branch in the future." When Jia Fuguo heard the news that someone in Jia Fuqiang's family would soon be able to eat public food, he was so envious that he opened his mouth and said to Jia Fuqiang.

When Jia Fuqiang heard Jia Fuguo's words and saw the envious looks from everyone, he quickly replied, "Fuguo! Fujun! The key is that it was all thanks to Dongming of our family. If Dongming hadn't thought of me as his uncle, our family wouldn't have had the chance to produce a worker."
