Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Chapter 361 Jia Dongxu is gone

Xiao Su's body trembled slightly, she looked up at Wang Dabao, her cheeks flushed, and her heartbeat suddenly quickened.

Wang Dabao held Xiao Su's hand tightly, and the two of them walked aimlessly.

It was not until it got dark and bursts of firecrackers were heard in the distance that the two realized it was time to go back for dinner.

They smiled at each other, and only when they walked back to Section Chief Hu's house did Xiao Su struggle to pull her little hand out of Wang Dabao's big hand.

The four elders couldn't help but laugh when they saw the sweet looks on their faces when they came in.

During the meal, Section Chief Hu deliberately arranged Wang Dabao and Xiao Su to sit together.

Everyone was chatting and laughing during the meal. Wang Dabao quietly held Xiao Su's hand under the table. Xiao Su's heart almost jumped out of her chest. She struggled slightly but failed. She could only let Wang Dabao hold her hand.

Fortunately, Wang Dabao was just teasing her and soon let her go.

The meal was warm and pleasant, as if there was an invisible force that was bringing Wang Dabao and Xiao Su closer together.

After dinner, the Xiao family members and Wang Dabao left together.

Downstairs, Xiao's mother enthusiastically took Wang Dabao's hand and invited him to visit her home when he had time.

"Don't worry, auntie. When I'm not busy at work, I'll go home and have a couple of drinks with my uncle."

Afterwards, Wang Dabao caught a glimpse of Xiao Su, who was smiling brightly.

After coming out of the cadres’ family building, Wang Dabao wrapped his coat around himself and walked through several alleys before returning to the factory.

It was getting late now, and Wang Dabao was too lazy to ride his bike to the compound in the cold wind. There was no need for that, so he could just go back to the Space Farm.

After strolling around the duty room at the gate, he returned to the lounge in the security building.

Although the lounge is not cold, it is not as comfortable as the temperature on the farm.

I drank at Chief Hu's house that night, and when I came to the Space Farm, I immediately asked the housekeeper to make me some sobering tea. I carried the cup and the two dogs to the beach again.

Lighting a cigarette, Wang Dabao's thoughts drifted away.

The next day was the fifth day of the Lunar New Year.

Sporadic snowflakes began to fall last night, and gradually turned into heavy snow around noon.

The factory's workshops began to organize workers to shovel snow in an orderly manner to prevent the heavy snow from melting and causing trouble to the circuit equipment.

The heavy snow didn't stop until an hour before getting off work.

Wang Dabao walked home as it was impossible to ride a bike that day.

It usually takes more than ten to twenty minutes to travel this distance by bicycle, but he walked for nearly fifty minutes.

There's no way. The snow is quite thick, and the road is really difficult to walk on with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

As soon as I entered the compound, I saw Yan Bugui, Liu Haizhong, and Xu Damao talking at the door of Old Yan's house. However, their expressions were a bit serious, and the second aunt's expression was not very good either. The whole atmosphere was quite depressing.

This aroused Wang Dabao's curiosity, and he strolled over. Xu Damao immediately took out a cigarette and handed it to him.

"Dabao, you didn't come back last night, did you?"

Wang Dabao was stunned. Wow, Xu Damao knew that he hadn't come back all night? !

"There was something going on at the factory yesterday. I was busy until quite late and just slept there."

"I said so."

Xu Damao struck a match and lit the one for Wang Dabao first. "I knocked on your door for a long time last night, but you didn't come out. I figured you didn't come back because of something."

After Xu Damao said this, Wang Dabao frowned: "What's the matter? Something happened in the courtyard at night?"

"No."

Yan Bugui's wife took over the conversation, "Last night, Jia Dongxu had a high fever, and called Doctor Zhou from the hospital next door. As a result, his condition became worse. I heard that he was vomiting blood. Doctor Zhou couldn't cure him. He said that the infection was too serious and he had to be sent to the hospital for treatment."

"He was sent to the hospital late at night."

Wang Dabao nodded, but he was still a little confused. What did Jia Dongxu's infection have to do with him, and why did Xu Damao knock on his door.

When Xu Damao saw Wang Dabao looking at him with a frown, he immediately gave an answer.

"Well, when Jia Dongxu left, Jia Zhang cried for half the night, making it impossible for anyone in the compound to sleep. I wanted to ask you to help me think of a solution, but you weren't here. It seems like you're the only one who got away with it."

Xu Damao pointed to the dark circles under his eyes and said, "I went to bed early in the morning when it was almost dawn, but before noon, Jia Zhang's disease started again. I heard that the hospital has already issued a notice. I guess Jia Dongxu will only be gone in the next two days."

Liu Haizhong, who was standing beside him, tucked his sleeves in and sighed, "A person's fate is determined by heaven. Who would have thought that Jia Dongxu would be able to get ahead of us old guys?"

"That's right. Although this child is not very popular, we live in the same courtyard after all. How come he has encountered such a thing?"

Yan Bugui became emotional, took off his glasses and wiped his eyes twice.

Wang Dabao saw it clearly from the side. Old Yan just blinked his eyes without shedding a tear.

"Did you receive any more letters later?"

Wang Dabao asked again.

"No." Yan Bugui's wife pursed her lips, "Yi Zhonghai and his wife, Qin Huairu have all gone there. Just now, Sha Zhu made some food at home and went to the hospital."

Wang Dabao nodded, guessing that Jia Dongxu would not be able to make it through this stage.

As Wang Dabao expected, crying and wailing were heard again from the Jia family in the middle of the night.

Jia Dongxu is back, but he is back sideways.

Actually, that can't be said. He went to the hospital lying sideways on a cart, and came back lying on the cart.

The difference is that when they went there, it was Yi Zhonghai who pushed the cart, and when they came back, it was Sha Zhu.

It was already three o'clock in the morning, and Xu Damao was drinking tea at Wang Dabao's house and describing the situation vividly.

"Alas, this time the bastard Shazhu finally got his wish."

Xu Damao crossed his legs, with no sadness on his face because of Jia Dongxu's departure.

Anyway, even though they live in the same courtyard, the relationship between the two is not very good. If it was Sha Zhu who died this time, maybe Xu Damao could still drag Wang Dabao for a drink or two.

"What do you mean by that, Damao?"

Wang Dabao took out a cigarette and threw it over.

"Do you still remember the gang-up scheme that Yi Zhonghai proposed last time? I think it will work this time." Xu Damao said mysteriously, "You didn't see how Sha Zhu looked when he came back. The corners of his mouth were almost curled up to his ears. I think he was just hoping that Jia Dongxu would be finished all day long."

"That's good now. Jia Dongxu is gone, Qin Huairu has become a widow, and Sha Zhu has finally gotten what he wanted."

Wang Dabao smiled and said, "Don't you have the same idea?"

"Different."

Xu Damao waved his hand, "I will take advantage if I can, but forget it if I can't. But Sha Zhu is different. Everyone in the compound knows what Sha Zhu is thinking. He just wants to be with Qin Huairu, and then he wants to marry another wife. It seems that he has taken all the good things."

"What you said is just your guess."

"Dabao, let me tell you, this is really not the case. Just wait and see. If that day comes, I will definitely break them up. Otherwise, I, Xu Damao, will be called Xu Xiaomao from now on!"
