Siheyuan: I have a multi-dimensional chat group!

After dinner, Xiao Shan was tidying up when Liu Guangtian walked in, beaming.

"Guangtian, judging from your appearance, is something good happening today?" Xiao Shan asked with a smile as he wiped the table, looking at Liu Guangtian's appearance.

Liu Guangtian said excitedly, "Xiaoshan, my dad finally found me a real job! I'm an apprentice at a thermos factory, and I earn eighteen yuan a month."

“My older brother has only sent two letters since he left, and he didn’t come back for the Chinese New Year. If it weren’t for that, my dad probably wouldn’t have been willing to spend money to find me a proper job.”

"Congratulations!" Xiao Shan said with a smile. "I don't think your older brother is planning to come back! He's much more comfortable on his own outside, earning his own money and spending it as he pleases. At home, he has to watch his father's face."

Liu Guangtian looked outside and, seeing that no one was in the courtyard, said, "Xiaoshan, you know, the Jia family is really something. They're having a food shortage right now! I just saw Qin Huairu washing clothes in the middle courtyard with her big belly. The Jia family will have to have another baby in less than two months! Jia Zhangshi always says that her family doesn't have enough food to eat. They're having a baby even though they're having a food shortage. They deserve it."

“The Jia family is rich, but Jia Zhangshi always complains about being poor. Jia Dongxu is now a level four fitter, earning over fifty a month. That's enough for his family to eat white flour every day,” Xiao Shan said, putting down the rag.

"Jia Zhangshi is so shameless! Everyone thought their family was really struggling, but it turns out they were just pretending. But only one person in their family has a ration, so they probably spent a lot of money selling grain these past two years."

Judging from the upcoming video, Qin Huairu is pregnant, and Jia Dongxu's days are numbered.

Jia Dongxu is a good person, but unfortunately Xiao Shan can't constantly remind him or save him.

"Xiaoshan, do you think the grain yield will drop again this year? It's been three years already. If it drops again, I'm going to starve! Look at me, I'm so skinny I'm just skin and bones."

Xiao Shan looked at Liu Guangtian speechlessly: "Don't talk nonsense! You've eaten quite a lot here, this is just to fool outsiders."

"Xiaoshan is home!" Just then, Lou Xiao'e appeared at the door.

Looking at Lou Xiao'e, Xiao Shan smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, is something the matter?"

"The mushrooms your brother Mao brought back from showing movies in the countryside are too many for us to eat. Here, take a bunch and keep them for yourself to enjoy slowly."

Xiao Shan accepted the bunch of mushrooms Lou Xiao'e handed him: "Thank you, sister-in-law. Mao-ge is truly blessed to have married you! I'll take the mushrooms. Please come in and sit for a while, sister-in-law?"

"No, I have something to do!"

After Lou Xiao'e walked away, Liu Guangtian said mysteriously, "I heard that Xu Damao's wife is a capitalist's daughter?"

“I don’t know about this. You can ask Brother Mao when you have time! Guangtian, it’s best if we don’t get involved in this kind of thing.” Xiao Shan said to Liu Guangtian.

Liu Guangtian nodded and helped Xiao Shan wash the dishes.

The next morning, Xiao Shan woke up feeling refreshed; the weather outside was sunny and breezy.

I went to the pool in the middle courtyard to wash up and ran into Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu's face was pale, and his steps were unsteady.

"Dongxu, you can't go to work like this! If you're too tired, stay home and rest for a couple of days," Xiao Shan said to Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu looks completely weak!

The problem is, Qin Huairu is pregnant!

How could Jia Dongxu be a fraud?

Is it because it's hungry?

Xiao Shan recalled how Jia Zhangshi had eaten Jia Dongxu's rations, which led to Jia Dongxu's failure in the assessment.

"Xiaoshan, thank you for your concern, I'm fine." Jia Dongxu's smile was somewhat forced.

Xiao Shan was somewhat surprised; Jia Dongxu seemed a little different from usual!

"I'm done washing, I'm leaving now." Without waiting for Xiao Shan's reply, Jia Dongxu turned and left with the basin.

When Xiao Shan finished washing up and was about to go home, he found a note where Jia Dongxu had just been standing.

It must have fallen from Jia Dongxu's body.

Xiao Shan picked it up out of curiosity and found it was a lab report.

Xiao Shan put the test results in his pocket, picked up the basin, and went home.

After closing the door, Xiao Shan took out the lab report and began to examine it carefully.

The lab report stated that Jia Dongxu had been diagnosed with cancer, and that it was in its late stage.

"So that's how it is!" Looking at the test results in his hand, Xiao Shan sighed. "No wonder Jia Dongxu looked so weak!"

If we really look at it, there were probably already signs last year when Jia Dongxu started feeding his mother his food rations.

People didn't think much of it and just assumed that Jia Dongxu was filial.

As for Jia Dongxu, since he couldn't eat it, he might as well give it to his mother and earn a reputation for being filial.

Judging from Jia Dongxu's current condition, he must have been in so much pain that he went to the hospital for a checkup.

This medical report was a fatal blow to him.

In that case, it's highly likely that Jia Dongxu's death from a work-related injury in the future video was a choice he made voluntarily.

He doesn't have much time left to live, so he might as well let his death earn more money for his family's support.

It's better to die from a work-related injury than to die from illness in bed. Not only does it save you money, but you also get hundreds of dollars in compensation.

Thinking of this, Xiao Shan felt quite uneasy.

His relationship with the Jia family could be described as somewhat bad, but Jia Dongxu himself is not really a bad person.

He put the lab report into the chat group's inventory; that's all he needs to know.

After a quick bite to eat, Xiaoshan went to work.

As soon as he stepped outside, he ran into Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai said to Jia Dongxu, "Dongxu, you don't look too well these past two days. If you can't take a break, you should rest for a couple of days."

"I'm fine, Master! Don't I know my own body? It's just that Huairu is pregnant and can't sleep well at night. It will be fine after the baby is born." Jia Dongxu forced a smile.

Xiao Shan sighed inwardly and looked at Jia Dongxu, asking, "Brother Dongxu, have you chosen a name for the child?"

Yi Zhonghai turned his face away instantly, too lazy to pay any attention to Xiao Shan.

"Okay, it's settled. If it's a girl, we'll name her Jia Huaihua; if it's a boy, we'll name him Jia Mancang." Jia Dongxu nodded.

Xiao Shan laughed and said, "This doesn't fit with the Korean style at all!"

"What does it matter if it matches or not? We don't care about that now, as long as it sounds good," Yi Zhonghai said from the side.

The three entered the steel rolling mill, and Xiao Shan went directly to the welding workshop.

Watching Xiao Shan weld the parts, a colleague next to him asked with a smile, "Xiao Shan, your skills are getting better and better! Are you confident about passing the CET-6 exam in the second half of the year?"

"Don't worry, Brother Zhou. With all these experienced teachers guiding me step by step, it would be such a waste if I failed the exam," Xiao Shan said with a smile.

"That seems to make sense!" He nodded as he asked the question.

In the fitter's workshop, Jia Dongxu is processing a part.

Suddenly, a sharp pain shot through his chest, and Jia Dongxu felt dizzy and lightheaded, breaking out in a cold sweat.

Looking at the machine running in front of him, Jia Dongxu thought of his lab report.

Jia Dongxu slipped on his right foot and crashed directly into the machine.

As the machine drew closer and closer, Jia Dongxu felt a sense of relief.

It would be better to die like this, at least I wouldn't have to suffer from the daily chest pain.

Moreover, the money saved from treatment can be used to secure a few hundred yuan in compensation for the family.

It's just tough on Huairu, who has to take care of my mother and several children.

boom!

Jia Dongxu crashed into the machine, and blood splattered everywhere!

The fitter's workshop fell into a deathly silence, which then descended into chaos.

"Quickly shut down the machine and check on Jia Dongxu's condition! Notify the factory leaders, the doctor from the infirmary, and an ambulance!" The workshop director was the first to react and shouted.

Yi Zhonghai could hardly believe his eyes.

The person he had painstakingly trained to take care of his elderly relative, his apprentice, was now lying in a pool of blood.

Aside from wanting to provide for his retirement, Yi Zhonghai treated Jia Dongxu almost like his own son.

Right under his nose, his own son is gone!

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai felt as if his ears had been covered; he could only see people shouting, but he couldn't hear any sound.

Immediately afterward, everything went black, and Yi Zhonghai collapsed to the ground.

A worker nearby shouted, "Boss, Master Yi has fainted!"

"Get him to the infirmary quickly. He's probably suffering from a heart attack due to the stress. After all, Jia Dongxu was someone he personally trained," the workshop foreman said to the worker who was speaking.

Soon, the doctor from the infirmary arrived.

After examining Jia Dongxu lying on the bed, the doctor sighed and said, "Director Mao, Jia Dongxu has stopped breathing!"

Upon hearing the doctor's words, the workshop foreman's heart sank: "Notify the factory leaders!"

A person died in the workshop, and the workers in the fitter's workshop can't continue working today.

Soon, news of Jia Dongxu's death spread through several workshops.

Xiao Shan was welding a workpiece when he suddenly heard a commotion: "Jia Dongxu from the fitter's workshop is dead! He got caught in the machine and is already dead!"

Xiao Shan knew this was bound to happen sooner or later, but he didn't expect it to happen so quickly.

Sigh, it's all because of poverty!

If he really had the money, why would Jia Dongxu wait until he couldn't take it anymore before getting a checkup?

With a sigh, Xiao Shan put down his welding torch and said to Mao Dexing, "Master, I'll go take a look. Jia Dongxu is from our institute."

"Go ahead, but you'd better be mentally prepared." Mao Dexing patted Xiao Shan on the shoulder.

In the kitchen, He Yuzhu was chopping vegetables.

Liu Lan rushed in from outside: "Master He, there's been an accident in the workshop. Jia Dongxu from your company has died from a work-related injury."

He Yuzhu almost cut his hand because he didn't hold the cleaver properly.

Putting down the cleaver, He Yuzhu said to Liu Lan, "Liu Lan, stop talking nonsense!"

"If you don't believe me, go and see for yourself in the workshop! It's spread throughout several workshops, and even the factory leaders have gone there."

He Yuzhu took off his apron and said to Liu Lan, "Liu Lan, you chop the vegetables for me, I'll go check on things."

He Yuzhu ran over from the kitchen and ran into Xiao Shan, who was coming out of the welding workshop.

Looking at He Yuzhu, Xiao Shan spoke first: "Brother Zhu, you're here too?"

"Xiaoshan, is it really Brother Jia? I can hardly believe it!"

Xiao Shan sighed, "Sigh, I don't know either, but it seems to be true! When I came this morning, I even asked Brother Jia if he had named the child yet!"

He Yuzhu sighed as well: "Sister-in-law Huairu is pregnant, so that will be three children. Aunt Jia is lazy and good-for-nothing, and she's getting old. Without Brother Jia, the Jia family will have a hard time!"

The two squeezed into the fitter's workshop with the crowd, where Jia Dongxu had already been covered with a white sheet.

Factory Director Yang and several other factory leaders also came over.

Based on the conversations at the scene and among the people in the workshop, Jia Dongxu's injury was confirmed to be a work-related injury.

"Go back to work if there's nothing else to do! Conduct a safety inspection in every workshop. You can never be too careful when it comes to safety!" Factory Director Yang said to He Yuzhu. "Yuzhu, you and Jia Dongxu work in the same compound, right? Go and notify his family!"

“Okay, Factory Manager!” He Yuzhu nodded and said to Xiao Shan, “Xiao Shan, come back with me. I’m afraid I won’t be able to say this when we get back.”

Xiao Shan nodded: "Okay, I'll go tell my master."

Xiao Shan returned to the welding workshop, asked for leave, and followed He Yuzhu toward the courtyard.

"Brother Zhu, didn't I see that old man just now? Isn't he in the same workshop as Brother Dongxu?" Xiao Shan asked He Yuzhu on the way back.

"I overheard the guy next to me mention it, and the old man fainted on the spot. He was closest to Brother Jia, and he personally taught Brother Jia his skills. He couldn't bear to see Brother Jia suddenly have an accident."

The courtyard house, the middle courtyard.

Several middle-aged women were sitting together chatting.

As Jia Zhangshi sewed the shoe soles, she talked about how promising her son Dongxu was, becoming a fourth-level fitter at such a young age.

Cai Xiaohua was also there, bringing He Huan along and teaching her to speak.
