Seeing the three members of the Jia family walk into the house, everyone in the yard started talking.
"When did the Jia family have a second son? Didn't Jia Zhangshi only have Dongxu as her son?"
This is the neighbor who moved into the courtyard later.
"Hey, don't talk nonsense. The Jia family has two boys. The eldest is Dongxu and the second is Dongsheng. This is the younger one."
This is the old neighbor of the original courtyard house.
"Then why haven't we seen this little one? I've lived here for over five years and haven't seen one once."
"It's normal that I haven't seen him. Ten years ago, I heard that Lao Jia sent him away to learn a skill. I don't know what he studied. He hasn't come back in ten years."
"So now that you're back, you've learned a lot?"
"Whether he succeeds or not, the Jia family now has a man. Life should be much easier."
"Not necessarily. Jia Zhang is lazy and doesn't do anything. Huairu is pregnant and there are two little ones at home. It's enough to make the Jia family boy suffer."
"We'll just have to wait and see how things turn out. It's better than just two women left, right?"
"That's not the place to talk about..."
......
At the Jia family, Jia Dongsheng and the other two who entered the house had no idea about the discussions outside. Even if they knew, they would not care much. After all, who doesn't talk about others behind their backs, and who doesn't get talked about behind their backs?
Very normal!
"Huai Ru, here, go buy some meat and some wine, and come back to cook some meat. Dong Sheng is back, let's have something delicious."
As soon as she entered the house, Jia Zhang rummaged through the clothes and cabinets. Somehow, she found a two-jin meat ticket and two dollars and handed them to Qin Huairu.
And what about Qin Huairu?
At this time, she was already confused.
Jia Dongxu had been gone for three months. During these three months, Qin Huairu, with her big belly and two children, had to do laundry, cook, and serve Jia Zhang every day. But in these three months, Jia Zhang had not asked her to buy meat once.
But today, when Jia Dongsheng came back, the stingy Jia Zhang actually wanted to pay for the meat. Is this still the mother-in-law she knew?
"Are daughters-in-law, grandsons, and granddaughters not worth a son?"
Jia Dongsheng didn't know what Qin Huairu was thinking. After he entered the house, he took a look around.
The Jia family had only one room in the east wing, which was less than 30 square meters and was divided into two rooms, the outer room being smaller and containing a stove and some miscellaneous items.
In the inner room was a kang (a heated bed) on which lay a child, soundly sleeping. He must be Xiao Dian.
There is also a dining table, four stools, and a wardrobe on the floor, but they are all a bit worn out. The most valuable thing is probably a sewing machine.
This thing is indeed quite valuable in this era. Among three-wheeled vehicles, it is second only to bicycles.
"Mom, my sister-in-law is pregnant. If we run into her while she's out shopping, should I go?"
Jia Dongsheng's voice woke Qin Huairu from her daze: "No, Dongsheng, let me go. You just came back and you must be tired enough. Rest at home for a while. I'll cook meat for you when I come back."
Qin Huairu quickly took the money and bills from Jia Zhang's hand, said something to Jia Dongsheng, and walked out without waiting for Jia Dongsheng to answer.
As they walked, Qin Huairu thought to herself, "I have to buy it quickly. What if I regret it later? I haven't had a good stew in three months."
Looking at Qin Huairu's back, Jia Dongsheng said, "Mom, my sister-in-law is a very nice person."
"Hey, what's good or bad about a country girl? It's her blessing to marry into our Jia family."
Jia Zhang twisted her lips and muttered something, then looked at Jia Dongsheng and smiled again: "Let's not talk about her. Sit down quickly and tell me how you have been these years. How have you been doing?"
"How is that old man treating you? Are you being bullied outside? Tell mom, if that old man bullies you, I won't let him off."
As she spoke, her bold temperament was revealed unnaturally.
"I've been doing okay these past few years, but I miss home a lot."
In the memory of his original body, Jia Dongsheng learned that although the old Chinese doctor did not let him go home over the years, he was still very good to Jia Dongsheng. It can even be said that he really raised Jia Dongsheng as his own son.
It can be seen from Jia Dongsheng's overall condition that the old Chinese doctor not only did not provide him with insufficient clothing, but on the contrary, he was well fed and well-dressed, keeping his body in good health.
And when it comes to teaching, he spares no effort.
The old Chinese doctor did not inherit any imperial physician tradition as rumored, but he was once one of the imperial physicians of the last dynasty.
Although he was not very good at treating illnesses as an imperial physician, he was one of the best among the imperial physicians at that time in terms of medical treatment and health preservation.
Back then, he had used medical skills to recuperate the health of the prodigal Empress Dowager in the palace, and the old Chinese doctor had taught all these skills to Jia Dongsheng.
In addition to medical skills, the old Chinese doctor also taught Jia Dongsheng some other skills.
In the past ten years, Jia Dongsheng had learned a lot from the other party about antique appraisal and ancient martial arts Five Animal Exercises, and he had mastered these things.
Especially the Five Animal Exercises. People who don’t know much about them think that the Five Animal Exercises were created by Hua Tuo for health preservation and physical exercise. But in fact, if Hua Tuo didn’t have some skills when he traveled all over the country, he would have been killed by bandits before he could even meet Cao Cao.
The Five Animal Exercises are not just for health and exercise, but are a real ancient martial art that can kill people.
Now Jia Dongsheng has mastered the Five Animal Play to the level of hidden power. When facing ordinary people, he can definitely shout: "I will beat ten of them."
