1952: Walking through Nantongluo Alley

When I returned to the house, Jia Zhang had already prepared breakfast.

She said to Jia Dongxu.

"Go and wake Tingting up for dinner."

Jia Dongxu nodded, put the washbasin away, and then went into the room to call Tingting to get up.

At this time, Tingting was sleeping soundly and snoring.

Looking at Tingting who was snoring loudly, Jia Dongxu felt uncomfortable.

This is not the daughter-in-law he wants...

The daughter-in-law in his mind should be gentle, beautiful, well-educated and well-mannered.

Sighing secretly, Jia Dongxu walked to the bedside and patted Tingting's shoulder.

"Tingting, our mother has already prepared dinner."

"Yeah." Tingting turned over and wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth with her strong arm. With the creaking sound of the bed, Tingting got up from the bed.

Today, Jia Zhang got up early and prepared two dishes for her daughter-in-law.

One dish is stir-fried pork with cabbage, and the other is stir-fried potato shreds with lard.

Looking at the food on the table, Tingting's appetite increased greatly. Without even brushing her teeth or washing her face, she sat down on the bench, picked up the bowl and chopsticks, and began to eat voraciously.

"Dongxu, don't just stand there, sit down and eat."

Jia Zhang was worried that Tingting would eat all the shredded pork, so she quickly picked up a few strips of pork with chopsticks and put them in Jia Dongxu's bowl.

As soon as Jia Dongxu sat down and picked up his bowl and chopsticks to eat, Tingting had already finished eating.

She had eaten most of the two dishes on the table, leaving only a few leftovers.

"I'm done eating, I'm going back to the house first."

Tingting stood up, stroking her belly with a satisfied look on her face and walked into the house.

Jia Zhang glared at her fiercely.

Don’t you know how to clean up the dishes after eating?

There's something wrong with this!

When he first came to my house a couple of days ago, he still knew how to help sweep the floor and so on.

How come I've become so lazy now? Is it all just an act?

"Dongxu, she can't go on like this. You have to discipline her."

"You married a wife to let us enjoy a peaceful life, not to bring back a ancestor!"

Jia Zhang said in a serious tone.

She is very dissatisfied with Tingting now!

"I understand, Mom. Don't worry, Tingting will be fine in two days." Jia Dongxu said helplessly.

After eating a few mouthfuls of rice, he stood up from the chair.

When I arrived at the room, Tingting had already tidied the bedding and was sweeping the floor with a broom.

Seeing this scene, Jia Dongxu felt much more relieved.

As expected, Tingting was not lazy, but was angry about what happened yesterday.

He silently came behind Tingting and put his arms around her strong waist.

"Tingting, don't be angry. I was wrong yesterday. When I return to my parents' home in a few days, I will make amends."

As he spoke, Jia Dongxu rested his head on Tingting's shoulder.

The faint fragrance coming from the tip of his nose made Jia Dongxu feel a little hot for a moment.

Tingting did not resist and just let Jia Dongxu hold her.

She is a virgin, and she also wants to experience what it feels like to be a woman.

Thinking that it was broad daylight, Tingting's pretty face turned red.

"Don't make a fuss. It's early in the morning. It would be bad if someone saw us. Our mother is still outside. Wait until tonight..."

"Wait until you get back from get off work tonight..."

Jia Dongxu kept rubbing his head against Tingting.

He was hesitating whether to tell Tingting that he had been fired from the steel mill.

After weighing the pros and cons, I finally chose to keep it secret.

"Tingting, I'm going to work first."

When he arrived in the living room, he said a few words to Jia Zhang.

Don't tell Tingting that you were fired from the steel mill.

At this time, Jia Zhang told him the good news.

Jia Dongxu looked excited.

"Mom, are you serious? Is my job still salvageable?"

Jia Zhang nodded.

"Wait until the uncle completes the task assigned by his boss. Then, use this honor to plead with the boss. Maybe he will let you go back to work."

"After all, it's been several days, and the steel mill hasn't sent you the dismissal letter yet. This means that the steel mill has no intention of firing you!"

……

Chen Xiao rode his bicycle out of the compound and happened to run into Jia Dongxu.

"Hey, isn't this Jia Dongxu? Weren't you fired from the steel mill? Why are you up so early? Did you find a new job so soon?"

Jia Dongxu glared at Chen Xiao.

He hated the man in front of him. If it wasn't him, Chen Xiao, then Qin Huairu would be his wife.

If it weren't for Chen Xiao, so many things wouldn't have happened, from being fired from the steel mill to having to marry Tingting.

All of this is because of Chen Xiao.

"Chen Xiao, you don't have to worry about my business."

"Don't worry, our story isn't over yet!"

After he finished speaking, Jia Dongxu jogged away and disappeared on the Old Drum Tower Street.

Chen Xiao didn't take it seriously at all and rode his bicycle to the steel mill to work.

Since passing the machinist assessment, Chen Xiao has now become a first-level machinist and his salary is much higher than when he was an apprentice.

Now it is as much as 27.5 yuan.

Now he has his own lathe and processes batch products every day at work.

Since we arrived early today, there were not many people in the workshop.

Chen Xiao turned on the lathe and prepared for a new day's work.

At this moment, a mocking voice sounded beside him.

"Having just passed the assessment, I dare to operate the machine alone without worrying about losing my life in an accident."

Chen Xiao frowned.

Then he retaliated directly.

"Yi Zhonghai, you don't need to worry about this. You should take care of yourself first. You are already old and your eyesight has probably been blurry for a long time. Be careful not to get your arm caught in the lathe."

"Chen Xiao, you..."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red.

"What did you call me? How dare you call me by my full name?"

"Whatever I want to call you is my business. In the courtyard, I called you uncle, which was to give you some respect. But now this is not a courtyard, but a steel mill. Whatever I call you is my business."

After saying that, Chen Xiao waved his hand at Yi Zhonghai and ordered him to leave.

"Go away quickly and don't disturb my work."

Yi Zhonghai was furious again.

But he didn't dare to hit Chen Xiao directly, so he had no choice but to swallow his anger for the time being.

"Just wait for me..."

"Then I'll wait. Goodbye."

Chen Xiao opened the lathe without looking back, clamped a workpiece and started working.

The workpieces on the lathe are parts used on tractors, and one can be made in about three to five minutes.

In a short while, Chen Xiao had already made three products.

At this moment, an accident happened.

A roar came from Yi Zhonghai's side.

"Save me...save me quickly...I'm caught in the lathe, please save me quickly..."
