Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

When you go to the countryside, you will be treated to delicious food and drinks. The projectionist said that your chicken is very good-looking, and it will be stuffed to death during the meal!

Because today's film projection technology mainly relies on manual labor, rotating the film little by little, if you make the projectionist unhappy, it is really easy for him to do something to you.

At the same time, when showing a movie, the projectionist is also required to explain the content of the movie. Therefore, it is rare for a village to offend the projectionist.

If the projectionist is in a good mood, it is not impossible to show one more movie.

At the door, Yan Bugui greeted Xu Wude as usual. Xu Wude was not stingy and gave Yan Bugui a bunch of mushrooms.

"Lao Xu, I have a meeting after dinner tonight, so please come."

Yan Bugui smiled and passed on the news of the meeting. He liked to interact with the people in the courtyard, of course, only when Xu Wude came back from the countryside or when Xu Wude invited him to dinner.

"A meeting? What's going on, Old Yan?"

Xu Wude took out a cigarette and lit it for Yan Bugui. Xu Damao also showed a curious look.

"This is what happened..."

Yan Bugui recounted in detail what had happened during the two days that Xu Wude was away.

Xu Damao was stunned and looked incredulous after hearing this.

"Third uncle, you said Jiang Fan saved up a bicycle for himself. Yi Zhonghai wanted Jiang Fan to save up a bicycle for the people in the yard but was rejected. Second uncle was so angry with Jiang Fan that he fainted.

Chen Dagang's family also bought a bicycle. Did Jia Zhang and Aunt Hongmei have a fight at noon? "

"Well, that's a good summary, Damao."

Yan Bugui looked at Xu Damao approvingly.

"I've only been away for a few days, how come so many things have happened?"

Compared to Xu Damao's shock, Xu Wude's expression was much more serious, with no obvious changes in expression.

After thanking Yan Bugui, Xu Wude took Xu Damao back to the backyard.

After returning home, Xu Wude found his wife and asked her about the situation again. Xu's mother explained the situation again in detail.

"Hiss, is this kid from the Jiang family so capable now? My dear, isn't our Xin'er in the same grade as Jiang Yu?"

"Yes, but the relationship is average."

"It's okay. We can build up our relationship slowly. Let Xin'er find a way to make friends with Jiang Yu. They're from the same compound."

"Okay, I'll talk to Xin'er about it in the next two days."

Xu's mother basically did not refute what Xu's father said. In the Xu family, Xu's father was the real head of the family. Xu Xin was Xu Damao's younger sister. She was 12 years old and in the same grade as Jiang Yu. She was going to junior high school this year.

In the evening, it was time for the steel mill to get off work.

Jiang Daniu and his son Jiang Pingan once again became the scenery of the factory.

However, unlike the last time when a crowd of people were watching, this time only the father and son and a few close coworkers were chatting and laughing together.

Yi Zhonghai still couldn't hide the envy and jealousy in his eyes, and Jia Dongxu followed silently behind him.

Sha Zhu caught up with Yi Zhonghai, carrying his lunch box, and said, "Uncle, Dongxu, let's go together."

Now Sha Zhu is not the canteen monitor yet, he is just a cook, so he doesn't dare to leave work early.

"Well, let's go together, Zhu."

Yi Zhonghai felt a little relieved when he looked at Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu. One of them was his retirement planner, and the other was his thug and backup. They were both filial and good children.

When we returned to the courtyard, every family had prepared dinner.

Jiang Daniu and Jiang Ping'an also knew what happened today and said they would go to see the excitement in the evening.

As soon as Jia Dongxu returned home, Jia Zhangshi said, "Dongxu is back, where is Yi Zhonghai?"

"Mom, of course my master has returned to his home. Are you going to treat him to a meal?"

"Yes, Mom wants to treat him to a meal."

"Hmm? Invite Master to dinner? Mom, have you caused trouble again?"

Jia Dongxu keenly sensed something was amiss. Ever since becoming Yi Zhonghai's apprentice, his mother and his master hadn't been on good terms.

Yi Zhonghai planned for Jia Dongxu to provide for his retirement, and both Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu knew this very well.

Jia Dongxu didn't think it was a big deal. Yi Zhonghai and he were master and apprentice, and everyone in the courtyard was a witness. It was only natural for an apprentice to provide for his master in his old age. Moreover, Yi Zhonghai's estate would most likely be left to him, so Jia Dongxu thought it was a good deal.

But Jia Zhang is different. She wants Yi Zhonghai to help the Jia family and she also wants Yi Zhonghai's inheritance. At the same time, she doesn't want Jia Dongxu to take care of Yi Zhonghai in his old age. She wants benefits but doesn't want to take responsibility.

Jia Dongxu also tried many times to dissuade Jia Zhangshi from having such an idea, but every time Jia Zhangshi agreed, she would forget it completely the next moment.

"Mom, tell me the truth, what happened?"

"What could it be? I just want to treat your master to a meal."

Jia Zhang avoided looking at Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu looked up, feeling exhausted. Going to work every day was tiring enough, and now he had to learn the knowledge required of a Level 3 worker, and his own mother at home was also a worry.

"Huai Ru, tell me, what happened today?"

Qin Huairu did not dare to hide anything and recounted what happened today in front of Jia Zhang's murderous eyes.

The more Jia Dongxu listened, the darker his face grew. "Mom! What does it have to do with us if the Chen family buys bicycles for their wedding? You even said it's unlucky for them to get married. How could you do that? They're still our neighbors, just separated from us by a wall!"

"Dongxu, are you blaming Mom? Mom was beaten. Look at how badly she got beaten. And those damn neighbors didn't even help me."

Jia Zhang pointed at the bruises she had from the fall, wanting Jia Dongxu to see them clearly.

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything, nor did he look at Jia Zhangshi. He just sat on the chair and looked at the ceiling.

Seeing that Jia Dongxu had no reaction, Jia Zhang became anxious and immediately talked about how difficult it was for her to raise Jia Dongxu alone. She raised Jia Dongxu with great care, but Jia Dongxu didn't even want to take care of his own mother, and was unfilial.

Jia Dongxu looked at Jia Zhang and just kept staring at her.

Jia Zhang gradually stopped yelling, and Jia Dongxu's stare made her feel scared.

"Mom, I'm going to find the master now and ask him for advice. But this is the last time. If there is a next time, I will really send you back to the countryside!"

Jia Dongxu's tone was extremely firm.

Chapter 19: Another meeting, old matters brought up again

Jia Dongxu arrived at Yi Zhonghai's door, which was wide open. Yi Zhonghai and his aunt were eating inside.

"Dongxu is here. Haven't you eaten yet? Let's sit down and have something to eat together."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Jia Dongxu and immediately understood why he came.

After all, Auntie was at home all day and could be said to have witnessed the whole process. After Yi Zhonghai came back, Auntie told him in detail what happened today.

Yan Bugui had just finished speaking and told Yi Zhonghai that there would be a meeting of the entire institute in the evening.

"Master, I haven't eaten yet, so I just want to have a free meal with you."

Jia Dongxu smiled innocently.

"Nothing, go get chopsticks for Dongxu."

"No, Madam, I can go by myself."

Jia Dongxu was familiar with Yi Zhonghai's house. He took his bowl and chopsticks, sat down and started eating.

Because both parties were preoccupied, they ate quickly. After dinner, Auntie went to wash the dishes.

Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai lit a cigarette and said, "Dongxu, you are here because of your mother's matter, right?"

"Yes, Master. I know my mother was wrong in this matter, and I won't ask for anything. I will apologize to the Chen family during the meeting tonight."

Jia Dongxu looked ashamed. He had been Yi Zhonghai's apprentice for the past few years. Even though Yi Zhonghai had some plans, he still caused Yi Zhonghai a lot of trouble.

"Dongxu, you're a good person. Don't worry, I'll speak up for you tonight. You should also go back and persuade your mother to bow her head tonight. And control your temper in the future, and don't cause trouble every other day."

"I understand, Master."

Jia Dongxu naturally agreed, but he knew that this was a bit difficult.

After Jia Dongxu left, an old lady came out and said to Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, is it really right to let Jia Dongxu take care of us in our old age?"

"I know what you're worried about. Alas, it's nothing more than Jia Zhang. Dongxu is still a good boy."

Yi Zhonghai also sighed. He was very satisfied with Jia Dongxu. He was filial and smart. Even though he was suppressing Jia Dongxu, he was now at the level of a third-level worker.

It's just that there is Jia Zhang in the middle, which is really torturous.

"By the way, you said that at noon, Old Man Chen went to the Jiang family?"

"Well, I happened to be out to the bathroom when I saw it."

An auntie said truthfully.

When Jia Dongxu returned home, Jia Zhang immediately ran up to him and said, "Dongxu, what's going on? Is your master going to make a decision for us and ask the Chen family to apologize to us?"

In Jia Zhang's view, Yi Zhonghai is the eldest uncle of the Siheyuan, that is, the emperor of the Siheyuan, and his son Jia Dongxu is naturally the prince.

"Mom! It's an apology. I want to apologize to them, and you too."

"Why? I was beaten and I have to apologize! Is there still law? Is it that Yi Zhonghai, that damned bastard, who refuses to help? I knew he was not a good guy, he deserves to be wiped out!"

When Jia Zhang heard that she had been wronged and beaten, she was asked to apologize. What kind of logic was this? She had been wronged during the day when her son was away, and now that her son was back, she was still wronged. What was the point of having a son?

If Jiang Fan knew what Jia Zhang was thinking, he would definitely call out to her, "Captain Jia, why are you here in the courtyard?"

"You don't need to apologize. I'll go and make amends and admit my mistake."

Jia Dongxu suddenly didn't want his mother to go out at night, so he shouldn't have thought about reasoning with his mother.

Jia Dongxu no longer cared about Jia Zhangshi and said to Qin Huairu, "Huairu, you will go out to the meeting with me later and lock the door. Mom, you stay home tonight and don't go out."

After saying that, Jia Dongxu took Qin Huairu and Banggeng out and locked the door.

……

This was the first time that a meeting was held in Siheyuan for two consecutive days.

Everyone found their familiar place.

Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were still sitting around the table, each holding a cup.

Jiang Fan glanced at Liu Haizhong. The old man recovered quite well and adjusted himself in just one day.

"Ahem, neighbors, please be quiet for a moment. We're holding a general meeting today, and I think everyone knows the reason. It's about the conflict between the Chen and Jia families this afternoon. Now, let's invite both families to come to the center and have a good discussion to determine who is right and who is wrong."

This time it was not Liu Haizhong who gave the opening remarks, but Yan Bugui.

The Chen family of three walked to the middle, while Chen Dagang sneaked to the front yard. If anything happened, he would go to the street office to find someone.

From the Jia family, there was only Jia Dongxu, and Qin Huairu, with Bang Geng, did not appear on the stage.

"Jia Dongxu, where's your mother? Let her come out."

Chen Youfu shouted sternly.

"Uncle Youfu, my mother is sick and resting at home. I am the male of the Jia family, so I can make the decision on this matter."

Jia Dongxu was very humble. He came here today just to be bullied.

"Okay, Jia Dongxu. I don't know what Jia Zhang said to you, but I'll say it again. If you feel something is wrong or you're dissatisfied, just tell me. We can talk it out face to face and make it clear!"

"Okay, Uncle Youfu, let's do it."

"Three uncles, how about we handle this?"

We still have to give face to Yi Zhonghai and others, after all, he is the one in charge.

"It would be even better if you could handle it. After all, this is a conflict between your two families. We can just be witnesses. Neighbors, please listen carefully and see if there's anything wrong."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and said.

"Okay, everyone, I guess you all know that my Dagang is getting married on the 27th. So, we're going to buy some at noon..."

This is the thing. If there is any discrepancy between what I said and what I said, please point it out."

Chen Youfu narrated the incident impartially, and everyone expressed no doubts.

Jia Dongxu also shook his head to indicate that it was correct.

"Okay. Now everything is clear. It was indeed Jia Zhang who was unreasonable and made trouble first. Jia Dongxu, do you have any questions?"
