Chapter 8 Jia Zhang’s showoff! (Please collect and recommend!)
After the engineer who lived in the other courtyard moved out, Mrs. Jia Zhang set her sights on the house in the other courtyard. When she woke up at noon, Mrs. Jia Zhang learned that the other courtyard had been separated and wanted to make a fuss. , to see if she could be assigned a house. It wasn't until she learned that the owner of the house was probably her long-lost eldest son that she ran outside the yard to wait for Jia Dongming's return.
Jia Zhang, who was crying sadly, immediately stopped crying when Jia Dongming mentioned the other courtyard, and said to Jia Dongming with excitement: "Dongming! Those houses in the other courtyard have been growing since before. After a resident moved out, it has been empty until now. If it is not tidied up properly, it will really be uninhabitable.”
"You sit here for now while Mom goes to find Jiefang from the third uncle's house and ask him to go to the factory to call Qin Huairu back and ask Qin Huairu to help you clean the rooms in the other courtyard, inside and outside, so that Only then can you live in it.”
When Jia Dongming heard Jia Zhang's order, he immediately stopped Jia Zhang and said, "Mom! I can just clean up myself. There is no need to call my younger siblings back from the factory."
In the Jia Zhang family's subconscious mind, Qin Huairu is their Jia family's servant and fertility machine. In addition, in the Jia Zhang family's eyes, their boss is a cadre and the backbone of the Jia family. Naturally, he cannot do this kind of cleaning. The dirty work of hygiene.
Faced with Jia Dongming's obstruction, Jia Zhang did not compromise with Jia Dongming as before, but responded comprehensively: "Dongming! You have to listen to your mother on this matter. You can rest in the room first. Mom went to Yan Jiefang and asked him to go to the steel rolling mill to call Qin Huairu back.”
Jia Zhang said, regardless of whether Jia Dongming agreed or not, she picked up the choking little Sophora japonica lying on the bed and walked out of the house.
Jia Dongming watched Mrs. Jia Zhang holding little Sophora japonica and walking out of the house with a helpless expression on her face. He looked at Xiaodang who was sucking his fingers in his arms, and then he remembered that he had promised to give Xiaodang candy. As promised, he quickly opened the cloth bag on the table, took out a White Rabbit toffee from it, and asked Xiaodang with a friendly face: "Xiaodang! Please tell uncle, how old are you this year?"
When Xiaodang saw Jia Dongming taking out the White Rabbit toffee from the cloth bag, his eyes suddenly lit up. Faced with Jia Dongming's question, Xiaodang swallowed his saliva and replied in a milky voice: "Uncle! Xiaodang It’s four years old this year!”
When Jia Zhang walked out of Jia's house holding the little Sophora japonica, she saw the third aunt sitting in the middle courtyard chatting with the women in the yard. She quickly walked up to the third aunt, took out a dime from her pocket, and smiled. Then he said to the third aunt: "His third aunt! I will give you a dime to ask your family to help me go to the steel rolling mill and call Qin Huairu back!"
The third aunt, Yang Ruihua, heard what Jia Zhang said and saw the dime in Jia Zhang's hand. She happily took the money from Jia Zhang and assured her: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family! Don't worry. ! I will ask our family to go to the steel rolling mill now to help you call Huairu back.”
Watching the third aunt go back to the front yard to call Yan Jiefang, thinking that her boss is the security section chief of the steel rolling mill and his monthly salary is 135 yuan, Jia Zhang's face showed a proud expression, and she said to him proudly. The aunts and daughters-in-law gathered in the middle courtyard introduced: "Dear neighbors, our Dongming family has just returned from the army. Now he is the security section chief of the steel rolling mill. His monthly salary is 135 yuan. The other courtyard where Engineer Xue used to live is now assigned to our family by the steel rolling mill. The boss.”
When Jia Dongming came to look at the house in the courtyard before, the aunts and daughters-in-law in the courtyard had already learned from the third aunt that the other courtyard was assigned to the security section chief of the steel rolling mill, which made those who originally had ideas about the houses in the other courtyard Residents had to give up ideas that they should not have had before. I saw that Mrs. Jia and Zhang had planned to summon Lao Jia in the courtyard because of the house matter. It turned out that the aunts and daughters-in-law had all made plans to watch the show. However, what these aunts and daughters-in-law did not expect was that... The security section chief of the steel rolling mill that the third aunt mentioned was actually Jia Zhang's long-lost eldest son.
Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang's triumphant expression when she mentioned Jia Dongming's position and salary, the aunts and daughters-in-law in the courtyard were both envious and jealous, especially the second aunt who lived in the backyard.
They say that if you marry a chicken, follow the chicken, if you marry a dog, follow the dog! Liu Haizhong is a typical official fan, and the second aunt was influenced by Liu Haizhong. Just like Liu Haizhong, she is a fan of officials and a typical snobbery.
Among the dozen or so families in this courtyard, the person that Second Aunt looked down upon the most was Jia Zhang from the Jia family.
Now that she has learned that Jia Zhang's long-lost eldest son is actually the security section chief of the steel rolling mill, with a monthly salary of 135 yuan, the second aunt looked at Jia Zhang with unconscious expressions of envy. expression, one She said to Jia Zhang with a fawning face: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family! I never expected that his uncle, Bangge, is actually the security section chief of our steel rolling mill. From now on, if your Jia family has Section Chief Jia here, you can just wait and enjoy the blessings." ! ”
The second aunt's compliment made Jia Zhang feel very happy. Thinking of Jia Dongming's meritorious service on the battlefield, Jia Zhang replied proudly: "His second aunt! These are all our Dongming's sacrifices on the battlefield. We worked hard, otherwise the steel rolling mill would not have given the entire courtyard to our family, Dongming.”
The aunts and daughters-in-law in the courtyard all had expressions of envy on their faces when they heard Mrs. Jia Zhang mentioning the other courtyard. The eldest aunt, Yi Tan, once sought out her husband many times for the house in the other courtyard. He smiled and said to Jia Zhang, "Sister-in-law of the Jia family! In the past, you have always said that the house at home is not enough for living. Now with these houses in other courtyards, you no longer have to worry about the problem of not having enough housing for living. ”
In the past, the Jia family relied on Yi Zhonghai's help. The Jia Zhang family relied on Yi Zhonghai and his wife and wanted Jia Dongxu to provide for them in their old age, but they never paid attention to the Yi Tan family, and even scolded each other behind their backs for not laying eggs. hen.
When Jia Zhang heard what Yi Tan said, she thought of the truth about Jia Dongxu's death due to a work-related injury, and mocked with resentment: "Although our Dongxu is gone, God opened his eyes and sent our Dongming back, unlike a certain These people can’t even lay an egg now. If they die in the future, I’m afraid no one will throw them into the pot.”
When Yi Tan heard Jia Zhang's insinuations about her being a hen that couldn't lay eggs, and saying that she would die in the future and no one would die for her, she immediately felt a cramping pain in her chest. , she instinctively reached out to cover her chest, and cursed Jia Zhang in a short breath: "Jia Zhang! What do you mean!"
"Mom! What are you talking about?" When Jia Zhang heard Yi Tan's question and saw the pained expression on her face, she was about to pursue the victory and humiliate Yi Tan, but she didn't have time to say her words. , Jia Dongming’s stopping voice suddenly came from behind.
