Ye Jianxiong didn't hear it, but he knew that it was enough to generate heat to warm the room.

"Hey, Xiao Li, how much does this set cost?"

Ye Jianxiong rubbed his hands excitedly.

"Dad, mine is more complicated and requires high craftsmanship and materials."

"In fact, if you are just using it for your own use, you might as well make a simple water-jacket furnace. It is cheap to make and it is also cheap to burn."

After a pause, Li Jianxun continued:

"Actually, I still want you to come and live here. Your house is old, and mine has many rooms and is newly built. It's too spacious for two people to live in."

"The experimental base will be busy in the future, and I may not be able to come back at night. I am worried about Hanzhi living alone. I can work better with you by my side."

"Besides, when we have children in the future, you can help us take care of them, right?"

What Li Jianxun was actually worried about was that Ye Hanzhi was too naive, and when he was not around, she would be easily bullied by these beasts in the courtyard.

With Xu Fengying and Ye Jianxiong around, there is no need to worry about being at a disadvantage.

Chapter 157: Jia family’s “accidental” fire?

"Xiao Li, this is not a good idea. What if people gossip about it?"

"Look at what you said. You are living in your own daughter's house. What gossip can you have? If anyone dares to gossip, I will punish him."

"Forget it. This place is a bit far from Baiyun Street, and it's not convenient for commuting to and from work."

"That's easy. I remember you can ride a motorcycle, right? I have an unused motorcycle that's broken down and no one is riding it. You can ride it to and from get off work."

Wang Chenglong: You are so nice, you are noble, you are amazing, you use my motorcycle to coax your mother-in-law.

After listening to what Li Jianxun said, Xu Fengying felt that he was right.

Ye Jianxiong is a straightforward man. He couldn't bear to see his precious daughter suddenly leave him.

In addition, he was obsessed with Li Jianxun's chess and cooking skills and wanted to stay.

"Since Xiao Li has said so, after we get married and the weather gets colder, we can come and stay here. There won't be any outsiders."

"There are too many rooms here. Any one of them is bigger than ours. In our free time, you and I can help the young couple clean up and cook."

Xu Fengying had already agreed to stay, but out of habit she wanted to choke Ye Jianxiong.

"I don't know your answer yet. You just want to play chess with Xiao Li and eat the food Xiao Li cooks. Ha."

When Ye Jianxiong heard that his little trick was exposed, he was not angry, but just laughed foolishly.

Li Jianxun and Ye Hanzhi couldn't help laughing when they saw the old couple bickering. They were still like children at this age.

"Okay, then it's settled. You can move in once it gets colder in late fall. Bring us your clothes and other things."

"I'll invite my second uncle and eldest brother-in-law to come here during the Chinese New Year. I'll show them my cooking skills and let them have a taste of them."

Li Jianxun even thought about the New Year.

Xu Fengying still had a bit of worry on her face and said:

"Okay, I'll listen to Xiao Li, but if there's any gossip, Lao Ye and I will go back and live there immediately."

These are parents who know the big picture. If they were ordinary or poor families, they would be eager to get close to them.

Suddenly, Xu Fengying slapped her thigh, remembered something, and said:

"And Xiao Li, why don't you invite your parents over in the winter so that our two families can get along better together."

"Mom, you don't have to worry about them. The building they live in has collective heating, so they won't be cold. Maybe my sister will come and stay for a few days during the New Year."

"Oh, I see."

Come to think of it, they are all senior state officials. How could they live without heating?

Next, Li Jianxun took the three people around each room and explained how to use each piece of furniture.

Ye Hanzhi, Xu Fengying and Ye Jianxiong are like curious babies, learning with an open mind.

This turn took more than an hour.

Just when the three of them were confused by the various ways of using the furniture, Qin Huairu's crazy screams suddenly came from the middle courtyard.

"Help, help, come and save them."

"Hurry up, help put out the fire and save the people."

Ye Jianxiong and Xu Fengying have made it a habit to help others, and they would run to the central courtyard as soon as they heard shouting outside.

Just as Ye Hanzhi was about to go, Li Jianxun stopped her at home.

"You stay home and watch. It's dangerous over there. You don't have to worry about your parents' safety with me here."

After saying that, Li Jianxun followed closely behind the two of them.

When they ran to the middle yard, they saw a house engulfed in flames, with some flames burning out of the doors and windows.

Banggeng and Xiaodang stood in the yard crying helplessly. Qin Huairu seemed to be confused and ran back and forth aimlessly.

She ran to the front yard and shouted a few times, then ran to the back yard and shouted a few times, her voice becoming hoarse.

Seeing this, Ye Jianxiong immediately went over to help, but was stopped by Li Jianxun.

"Xiao Li, human lives are at stake. Now is not the time to bear grudges. Come and lend a hand."

"Dad, I know, but what can you do if you go up there alone? The fire is so big, can you guarantee that you will come out again after you go in?"

"Wait until everyone in the hospital comes out and works together. Then it won't be too late for us to go."

After hearing what Li Jianxun said, Ye Jianxiong calmed down. What Li Jianxun said made sense.

Li Jianxun had no choice. He couldn't just tell Ye Jianxiong not to save the Jia family. With Ye Jianxiong's temper, he would definitely not listen.

Therefore, we can only find a reason to let Ye Jianxiong go later.

As for why Li Jianxun wanted to stop them, it was because he concluded that there must be something not as simple as it seemed.

Why did the fire start? Qin Huairu, Banggeng and Xiaodang were all outside, but Jia Dongxu was inside.

How could it be such a coincidence?

Li Jianxun even had a bold guess that Qin Huairu thought Jia Dongxu was a burden and wanted to accidentally start a fire to get rid of Jia Dongxu.

This woman has never been simple.

Soon, everyone was called out, mumbling about what had happened.

"What's wrong, Qin Huairu? What happened? Why did the fire suddenly break out?"

"Ah, how did this fire start? I'll go back and get a bucket and a basin of water."

"Hurry up, someone, the Jia family is on fire, come and see, the Jia family is on fire."

"Hey, why are you so careless? Burn our house down and see if I'm done with you."

There were all kinds of voices. Some said they were going home to get basins and buckets to put out the fire, while others were standing not far away watching the fun.

Among them, Old Man Liu and Wang Dahu's family were the most anxious.

Because their two families were next to the Jia family, if the fire spread, their family would also be affected.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai came out wearing his coat, followed closely by an old lady.

When he saw that the fire was at Jia's house, he immediately became anxious and shouted:

"Come quickly, put out the fire, don't just sit there, be a good neighbor."

"You guys go home and get buckets of water, and you guys get brooms and dirt to put out the fire."

Yi Zhonghai made calm arrangements.

At this critical moment, these neighbors put aside their grudges with the Jia family and came to help.

Qin Huairu seemed to have found his backbone, and suddenly rushed over and begged:

"Uncle, Dongxu is still inside, go in and save them."

At this time, Qin Huairu was so anxious that his voice was trembling and his face was full of helplessness.

She didn't expect the fire to be so fierce.

Once the fever started, she couldn't control it at all.

That’s right, she was the one who set the fire.

Of course, Qin Huairu is not as brave or ruthless as she was later.

She set the fire not to get rid of Jia Dongxu, but to embezzle the three hundred yuan and the gold bracelet and gold ring.

Qin Huairu spent the whole day thinking about how to secretly keep the three hundred yuan and the gold bracelet and gold ring without arousing Jia Zhang's suspicion.

After much thought, she couldn't come up with a better solution, so she had no choice but to take this risk.

She waited until Jia Dongxu, Banggeng and Xiaodang fell asleep, then found a bottle of kerosene and poured it on the closet.

Qin Huairu was worried that the fire wouldn't start, so he actually poured the entire bottle in.

Then she held the stick stem and tried to light it. After lighting it, she fiddled with the stick stem like she was sleepwalking.

To make it more realistic, Qin Huairu also put a fire starter into Banggeng's hand.

Chapter 158 No One Rescues Jia Dongxu

According to her idea, only the things in the closet or near the closet need to be burned, so as not to affect normal life.

However, too much kerosene was spilled, and the fire instantly turned into a big fire as soon as it touched the kerosene, and began to spread in a very short time.

By the time Qin Huairu discovered that the fire had grown bigger and wanted to put it out, it was too late and he could no longer control it.

In desperation, she could only carry Banggeng and Xiaodang out of the house.

After such a delay, the fire had become very big.

When Qin Huairu wanted to drag Jia Dongxu, she found that Jia Dongxu had been knocked unconscious by the smoke and could not be dragged away.

Fortunately, she was not too stupid. She poured all the water in the house on Jia Dongxu's body, bed and quilt, hoping that this could save Jia Dongxu's life.

After doing all this, she immediately went to the yard and called for help to rescue Jia Dongxu and put out the fire.

So there was the scene just now.

"Uncle, Dongxu is still inside, go in and save them."

When Yi Zhonghai heard Qin Huairu's words and looked at the room full of fire, he was in a dilemma.

In this situation, who dares to rescue?

Isn't that seeking death?

"Uncle, I beg you, please help me."

"I really can't drag him, otherwise I would go and rescue him. Please save Dongxu, he is your apprentice after all."

Qin Huairu was crying so hard that she fell to her knees.

If Jia Dongxu was burned to death in this fire, she would never be able to sleep well again.

Another thing is, if Jia Zhang knew that Jia Dongxu was burned to death but she was fine, she might do something ridiculous.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to look for someone who was easier to bully and let that person go to the rescue.

Looking around, Yi Zhonghai's eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a man and a woman around Li Jianxun, but they were not from this hospital.

Yi Zhonghai didn't have time to think about it. He quickly walked up to Li Jianxun and pointed at Ye Jianxiong and said:

"Comrade, please help me. There is someone in that room. Please help rescue him."

Ye Jianxiong was stunned. Are you talking about him?

Look at the direction of the finger, it's really him.

"No, the fire in this room is so big, it would be dangerous for me to go in alone."

"However, you can find two more people, get a few wet quilts, and we can go in and rescue them while covered with quilts. This way, the chances of success will be very high."
