Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 155 Jia Dongxu’s Lucky Day

After speaking, Uncle Kong stood up and patted Zhu Xuefeng on the shoulder.

"Your godmother is very optimistic about you, and so am I. Today, I said everything that needs to be said...".

"Take care of yourself later, don't let us down."

Turning around to go out, I found two basic skill books on the table that Coach Gao had given me when he was at the sports school. They were intended for his younger siblings to learn.

"You still like this. It's true that you have a wide range of hobbies. I don't have time today. When I come back from my business trip, we can have a good chat."

"Xue Feng, let's go."

Director Wang greeted him outside the door, and Zhu Xuefeng woke up from Uncle Kong's reminder and quickly chased him out to the alley.

"Okay, let's go back. If you have time, go see your godmother more often. I'm always out and about, so I don't have much time to spend with her."

After seeing the two off, Zhu Xuefeng was in a daze in his room. This suggestion was also investigated. It was impossible. Seeing how busy Uncle Kong was, he knew that they would not have the energy to take care of such trivial matters.

The old party secretary's sly eyes suddenly appeared in front of his eyes. Yes, he was probably responsible. This old man was always looking forward and backward and had no responsibility.

...

"What, what did she say?"

As soon as Liu Jiaqi came out of Xia Yuhong's house, Chen Rui asked anxiously.

"She didn't show the slightest surprise that Zhu Xuefeng went to Beijing University. Your guess is reasonable."

"Have you said anything about us having a meal together before school starts?"

"I told you, she said she would definitely come. It's rare that we all stayed in the capital. Xia Changqing and Zhou Qin also called. But she said that Zhu Xuefeng is at work now, so he definitely won't be able to come. He works overtime every week, and she doesn't see him either. Not even."

"He's at work. What's going on? Isn't he admitted?"

"I don't understand. He must be able to take this course. When the time comes, go directly to the school to find him."

...

Silly Zhu didn't come for dinner, so they ate quietly. Zhu Xuefeng remembered that today when the sports car experiment team came back, they should have arranged a celebration banquet.

The younger brother and sister helped He Yuyu clean up and took their belongings, and then the three brothers and sisters went to practice in the courtyard outside Dongzhimen.

"Brother, what day is tomorrow?"

"Seems like a good day."

As soon as they entered the yard, the younger sister smiled and made jokes, looking at the older brother expectantly, while the older brother also joined in the fun.

"It doesn't matter what day it is. I just remember that tonight is a practice day. Have you practiced your horse steps well these days?"

It is estimated that the two little guys want to be lazy again. They are not at home in the morning and can't control it.

"That's not the case. My second brother and I insist on running and horse walking every day. I can last for 7 minutes, which is just a little bit behind my second brother."

"Just persist. If you exercise now, you will benefit from it throughout your life. Just persist. I will check your results later."

Seeing that her eldest brother didn't even realize what day tomorrow was, Zhu Xuemei was anxious.

"Brother, tomorrow is No. 18, what day do you think it is?"

NO.18, NO.18, tomorrow is my eighteenth birthday!

He really misunderstood his younger brother and sister. Zhu Xuefeng felt warm in his heart, but he deliberately pretended not to know. "Tomorrow is Wednesday, oh, okay, I won't tease you anymore, tomorrow is my eldest brother's birthday, right?"

It turns out that the younger brother and sister want to celebrate his birthday tomorrow, but now they don't have to worry about it. The younger brother and sister just want to cook a meal for their elder brother tomorrow night. This must be said in advance. Zhu Xuefeng now comes back late from time to time, or just eats overtime.

"I won't work overtime for big things tomorrow, I'll go home directly after get off work!"

In the evening, the three of them practiced again in the yard.

...

The elixirs were also clarified. The Chuanxin Dan that I had never understood was actually a detoxification pill. There were three small return pills (received from beating Xu Damao), two Qi-nourishing pills, and one Qi Li pill (which slightly increased Qi power).

None of them are worth taking now, so keep them all.

...

It was already very dark, and Jia Dongxu was digging a small hole in the corner of the warehouse. The hole was too small, and it took Jia Dongxu countless nights to dig it.

I didn't dare to dig too big. Firstly, I was afraid of being discovered. Secondly, I was afraid of collapse. I cleared the bricks one by one. There were also piles of weeds at the entrance of the hole. This was also piled by Jia Dongxu. There were more than ten piles piled along the outside corner. Mi, just afraid of being discovered outside.

In fact, there is a small forest outside the warehouse, and beyond it is a small road. Very few people pass by here, but for the sake of safety, there is still a pile of weeds.

After stuffing a full bag of scrap metal out, Jia Dongxu took a wooden board and leaned it against the entrance of the hole. He also got out and squatted quietly in the corner.

Not long after, several bicycles passed by on the path in the distance, and flashlights flickered in the woods from time to time, and then slowly walked away.

This is a nearby patrol team. Jia Dongxu has already figured out the approximate patrol time and will pass by again in about two hours.

I got up and put the small bag on my back. It was too heavy, but for the sake of my stomach and hope, I still carried it hard.

Following the previous route, he easily avoided the guards of the steel rolling mill and got into a small dilapidated house nearby. After a while, Jia Dongxu came out again.

This was a dark den that Jia Dongxu got to know when he was stealing scrap metal when the steel rolling mill was not strictly controlled. Later, when the steel rolling mill was tightened, he didn't come here very often. It was very close to the steel rolling mill.

I carry more than ten kilograms at a time and buy four more buns. No matter how much I carry, I can’t carry more, which is not far away. Otherwise, I will die. The old man in the dark den is very dark, but there is nothing I can do. This is the only way. There is a way to recycle. It is much cheaper to recycle here than at the recycling station, and the price of steamed buns is even outrageous. Who makes Jia Dongxu have no way and no food stamps?

But Jia Dongxu thinks it's worth it. Four buns can basically guarantee that you won't go hungry, and the money saved can be used to drink a few drinks after going out. There is hope for this day, and now I can barely keep up with the pace of work.

The steamed buns are cold, but it doesn't matter. They can still fill the stomach. I eat them while walking. Now I have one in the morning, one in the evening, and one in the middle of the night.

Jia Dongxu's arrangements are very reasonable. Every time he finishes a meal, he adds a bun to keep him going until the next meal.

I was unlucky this afternoon, but now everything is going well. I walked through the woods and reached the corner. I looked carefully and saw that there was no danger.

The patrol was still going on for a while, and the guards of the steel rolling mill couldn't see this area. Jia Dongxu bent down and got into the woods, keeping pushing aside the branches blocking the way. As if his luck had run out, he accidentally tripped over a tree root on the ground. .

Fortunately, the guards were not alerted, but the buns were thrown out, and Jia Dongxu groped anxiously on the ground. The lighting here was not good, and it took him a long time to find one, and the other two rolled to nowhere.

This is related to whether we can have enough to eat tomorrow. It is very important and must be found. A black shadow passed by, startling Jia Dongxu. He meowed, damn wild cat, and the flashlight in the distance came again.

I had no choice but to go hungry tomorrow, so I hurriedly opened up the haystack and returned to the warehouse, pulled the weeds back to the entrance of the cave, loaded the bricks again, and piled some discarded materials to block it, my heart still pounding.

I put away the last bun and resisted the temptation. This will be a supplement for tomorrow. It seems that I have eaten it three times.

I was very unlucky this afternoon. I fell down several times for no reason. Go to bed quickly. I have to move things tomorrow, but I couldn't fall asleep despite tossing and turning. I missed my mother-in-law, and I haven't had any meat for months.

I already have more than three yuan in my pocket...

At dawn, I found that the last bun was gone, and there were a lot more squeaking sounds in the warehouse. These damn mice...
