Chapter 17 Jia Dongxu gets married
After the meeting, the next day, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu approached Yi Zhonghai again.
"First Master, we are the only orphans and widowers left in the Jia family. Dongxu is getting married. You are his master and you cannot ignore it." said Jia Zhang.
"I don't care anymore. Yesterday at the whole hospital meeting, I was so troubled that I couldn't get off the stage." Yi Zhonghai said angrily.
"You can think of a solution about the house. When Dongxu gets married in the future, I will remember you well." Jia Zhang said while winking at Jia Dongxu.
"Master, please help me. My wife and I will be filial to you in the future." Jia Dongxu said quickly.
"Let's see. I won't go to work soon. Dongxu will ask me for some leave. I'll go to the street office to ask you today and see if I can allocate you another room." Yi Zhonghai said.
"Lao Yi, is it reliable to let Jia Dongxu take care of him in old age? Why don't we adopt one?" said the aunt.
"Let's take a look again." Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.
After dinner, Yi Zhonghai came out of his home and went to the street office when it was time for him to go to work.
When he arrived at the subdistrict office, Yi Zhonghai said politely to the old man guarding the door: "I am the steward of the courtyard below our street. I came to see Director Wang for something. Is Director Wang here?"
The old man guarding the door glanced at it and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Director Wang is in the office. You go in."
Yi Zhonghai came to Director Wang's office, knocked on the door, and walked in.
"It's Lao Yi, what, do you have a problem with me?" Director Wang heard the knock on the door, looked up and saw it was Yi Zhonghai, and asked.
"Director Wang, it's like this. The old Jia family in our yard is getting married. His family only has one house, which is not enough. I think there are still vacant rooms in the yard. Can I apply for one for his family?" Yi Zhonghai said. .
"Lao Yi, you also know that there is a shortage of housing everywhere in Sijiu City. There is simply not enough housing. All the empty houses in your yard have been arranged. Moreover, the Jia family only consists of mother and son. Jia Zhang's household registration is not in the city yet. According to the According to the policy, Jia Dongxu only occupies one room in the Jia family, so don't think about dividing the house. Many people live in a house of seven or eight people that is not as big as the Jia family." Director Wang said.
"Director Wang, is there no other way?" Yi Zhonghai said unwillingly.
"Now I can only buy a private house, there is no other way." Director Wang said.
"Okay, Director Wang, you are busy, I will go back first." Yi Zhonghai could only go back first.
Yi Zhonghai came out of the street office, went to the steel rolling mill, and continued working.
"Master, how's it going?" Jia Dongxu hurried over and asked when he saw Yi Zhonghai coming to work.
"I asked Director Wang, Director Wang said that the house has been arranged. Now there is a shortage of houses everywhere, so the only way is to buy a private house. When you get home from get off work in the evening, you and your mother will discuss whether you want to buy it. If you buy it, I will I’ll help you find out where there are houses for sale,” Yi Zhonghai said.
"How can my family have the money to buy a house? Even if we have money, no one in our courtyard is selling houses. If we want to buy somewhere else and live separately, my mother won't agree." Jia Dongxu said helplessly.
Yi Zhonghai will not give away his house, not even to Jia Dongxu, his apprentice. This is his guarantee for retirement.
"Then I have nothing else to do. How about you redecorate your current house and make it suitable for living?" Yi Zhonghai said.
In the evening, Jia Dongxu went home to discuss with Jia Zhang, and finally had no choice but to tidy up the existing house. Come out two bedrooms apart. The kitchen and living room are integrated. The walls were repaved with newspapers.
After cleaning up, I went to buy a sewing machine. This was the first sewing machine in the courtyard. Everyone gathered around to see the strange thing. But Jia Zhang drove people out.
Everything is ready, it's only one week before Jia Dongxu gets married. The chef hasn't been hired yet on the wedding day.
Jia Dongxu found Yi Zhonghai and wanted Yi Zhonghai to talk to He Yuzhu and let He Yuzhu take charge that day.
That night, when He Yuzhu came back with rainwater, Yi Zhonghai came to the door with Jia Dongxu and explained his purpose.
"Zhuzi, although we were unhappy before, we all live in the same courtyard, so we have to help when we need to." Yi Zhonghai said.
He Yuzhu didn't want to have any interaction with the Jia family, and it would be troublesome to take on this job. They have to give up this idea.
"Okay, what did you say? You prepare the materials, or I will bring them. How will the wages be calculated?" He Yuzhu thought for a while and said deliberately.
"Why do you still need money? They are all from the same courtyard," Jia Dongxu said.
"Yes, Zhuzi, we are all in the same courtyard. How can we collect money when we help each other?" Yi Zhonghai also said.
"Master, it's like this. Fengzeyuan has its own rules and charging standards. I can't break the rules. Besides, this money is not for me, but for Fengzeyuan," He Yuzhu said.
"Zhuzi, you can't ask for leave," Yi Zhonghai said.
"If I ask for leave, my money will be deducted. I am an apprentice. I don't earn much to begin with, and I still have to save money for Yuyu to go to school. Besides, I haven't graduated yet, so I can't take on private work." He Yuzhu prevaricated.
"Then who did you ask to prepare the materials before?" Jia Dongxu said.
"I want to ask clearly, otherwise how can I tell the manager of Fengzeyuan? I'm just passing on the message. Fengzeyuan will definitely send a chef." He Yuzhu said.
"I can hire a chef from Fengzeyuan, why should I ask you for anything?" Jia Dongxu walked away angrily.
"Since you have rules, forget it. But on the day of Dongxu's wedding, let me borrow your bicycle from the main office," Yi Zhonghai said.
"No problem," He Yuzhu agreed happily.
Even if He Yuzhu doesn't borrow it, Jia Dongxu gets married, and Yi Zhonghai goes to the street office, he still has to borrow it. During this period, whenever someone gets married in the street and goes to the street office, Director Wang will come to borrow the car. It's better to agree happily.
On the day of Jia Dongxu's wedding, Jia Dongxu rode his bicycle to Qinjiazhuang to pick up Qin Huairu. He Yuzhu saw that the Jia family hired the cook who was responsible for weddings and weddings in the street all year round. He Yuzhu did not join in the fun, and asked the third uncle to give him a gift of 1 yuan. The old man said hello and went to work with Yu Yu.
In the evening when He Yuzhu got off work, Xu Damao came to his door.
"Silly Zhu, why haven't I seen you today?"
"I'm going to work, you guys have a rest, that's when we are busiest." He Yuzhu said.
"You haven't seen that Jia Dongxu's wife is so beautiful." Xu Damao said. "Let's go listen to the corner together later."
"Forget it, I've been busy all day and am too tired, so I won't join in the fun with you." He Yuzhu refused. Listen to the corner, that Jia Zhang is easy to mess with.
When Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu not going, he left.
"Who the hell dares to come and eavesdrop."
At night, a basin of water was poured down, a sound was heard, and several black figures fled in panic.
