Chapter 446

Jia Dongxu, with the fear of a future ugly wife in his heart, burned the porridge and didn't sleep well all night; in the morning, he was yawning constantly!

"Dongxu, what did you do last night?"

"Why are you so fast?"

"Didn't you sleep?"

On the way to work, Yi Zhonghai was very worried about Jia Dongxu's state.

Operating a machine tool as a fitter, if one's spirit isn't focused and one is too tired, it's very easy to have an accident; at best, a cut, at worst, broken bones.

Jia Dongxu was the person he was cultivating to support him in his old age.

He didn't want Jia Dongxu to have an accident.

There were only three people in the Sihe Academy suitable for supporting him in his old age: Wan Ping'an, Jia Dongxu, and Shazhu!

Ranked in order.

Wan Ping'an was the most suitable, but his personality was too fierce; he absolutely couldn't support him in his old age.

Jia Dongxu was second.

Shazhu was the worst.

If Jia Dongxu was gone, he could only cultivate Shazhu; before cultivating Shazhu, he had to drive He Daqing away, which wasn't an easy task!

"I'm fine!"

Jia Dongxu shook his head, a bit embarrassed; he couldn't say he was worried that Jia Zhangshi was going to find him an ugly wife, could he?

"You don't look like you're fine; you definitely have something."

"Dongxu, regardless of whether you have something or not, you can't work in this state; it's too easy to have an accident; go home, I'll help you ask for leave."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to send Jia Dongxu back.

"No, asking for too much leave will deduct my salary."

Jia Dongxu was unwilling.

The key was that if he went back, Jia Zhangshi would definitely nag him or even curse him.

"Then tell me what's going on first, and I'll help you find a way."

Yi Zhonghai believed that solving Jia Dongxu's life difficulties would make Jia Dongxu have a good impression of him and get close to him.

When it reached a certain level, he would take Jia Dongxu as an apprentice.

Having just entered the new society, the master-apprentice inheritance was still very much valued; if he really took Jia Dongxu as an apprentice, having him support him in his old age would be a matter of course.

"First Elder, I can only tell you; you must not tell anyone else."

Jia Dongxu pulled Yi Zhonghai to the side of the road.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, promising not to tell anyone.

"Sigh, it's all my mother."

"She complained that I came back late and made her hungry, so she wants to find me a wife."

"She said, she said, appearance doesn't matter, what matters is capability; what if she finds me an ugly wife?"

Jia Dongxu finally said what he was worried about.

After he finished speaking.

His face was a bit red.

Yi Zhonghai smiled; wasn't this exactly what he was thinking?

He had been running to the countryside for several days, just wanting to find a satisfactory wife for Jia Dongxu—one who was beautiful, capable, and obedient.

It was easy to satisfy one or two points, but hard to find one that satisfied all three.

He hadn't found one yet.

There was one who satisfied all three, but the woman had some issues; Yi Zhonghai only treated her as a backup, and would only go to her if he couldn't find anyone else.

"I thought you were worried about what?"

"Isn't it just wanting to find a beautiful wife?"

"I, your First Elder, am also a man; I understand your thoughts."

"Let's do this: I'll look for some friends and find you one who is beautiful, capable, whom you like, and whom your mother won't oppose; how about that?"

Yi Zhonghai took the opportunity to state his plan.

"Really?"

Jia Dongxu's eyes lit up.

"Can there be a Qin... never mind, is she really beautiful?"

Jia Dongxu wanted to ask, is she as beautiful as Qin Huairu?

"Of course it's true; when have I ever lied to you?"

"You must study the fitter technique well; last time during the grading exam, your wrist was injured, which delayed you; you can't delay next time."

"If your worker grade is too low, a beautiful girl might not necessarily take a fancy to you."

Yi Zhonghai found that Jia Dongxu was a bit lazy.

Sometimes he couldn't help but scold Jia Dongxu a few times.

Jia Dongxu would work hard for a while, then start slacking off again.

Just right, Jia Dongxu wanted to find a beautiful wife, so he used the beautiful wife to motivate him.

"First Elder, rest assured!"

"Next grading exam, I won't take the first-grade exam, I'll take the second-grade fitter exam directly!"

Jia Dongxu's eyes were shining.

For a beautiful wife, he would give it his all!
