Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

After resting for two days in a row, Zhang Dabao woke up early and couldn't fall asleep no matter how hard he tried. Thinking of the many photos Wen Li took, he decided to develop them today and go out for some fresh air.

After breakfast, Zhang Dabiao was surprised to see Xu Damao still at home. "Brother Damao, are you going to the countryside today?"

"No, I had something to do, so I took a day off," Xu Damao said a little embarrassedly.

"You are dressed so handsomely, it seems to be a good thing, Brother Damao, congratulations." Zhang Dabao said a few words to Xu Damao and went out.

"Da Mao, who are you talking to?" Xu Fugui asked his son in the room.

"Zhang Dabao from next door was about to go out, so he came over to say hello. When he saw what I was wearing, he actually thought of some happy event for me. He's really smart," Xu Damao said with a smile. He thought that Dabao had good taste as he could see his handsome appearance at first glance.

"Da Mao, let me tell you, Zhang Da Biao is a very wise man. No one who can come back alive from the battlefield is a fool. You have also seen Da Biao's performance in the hospital. Now Lao Yi has almost no sense of existence; not to mention Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui. Who do people in the hospital obey now? It must be Zhang Da Biao. These young people surround Zhang Da Biao every day, and now all the children like Zhang Da Biao," Xu Fugui said to his son.

"Da Biao is a good person with a kind heart and is very honest. What kind of people are in the Jia family? Look at how they live after Da Biao came. They have become the best family in the whole courtyard. Recruiting workers, buying houses, getting pregnant, all the good things go to the Jia family," said Xu Damao, with a bit of sour taste in his voice.

"Who made Zhang Dabao and Zhang Cuihua have the same grandfather? Zhang Cuihua is lucky," Xu Fugui said with a sigh.

"Are everything ready?" Xu's mother asked the father and son.

"Be ready, it's too early to leave now," said Xu Fugui.

"It's a bit early, Damao. Don't talk nonsense when you go to the Lou family. The boss is a smart man. The name of Lou Bancheng is not inherited by him, but earned by him himself. You should talk more with Miss Lou. It's a new society now. If it were in the past, we wouldn't even be qualified to visit them," Xu's mother instructed her son.

"I understand." Xu Damao nodded quickly.

Zhang Dabiao came to the Red Star Photo Studio, delivered the film, and thought about what he promised Wen Li to transfer Tong Zhi. He looked at the time, it was a little after nine o'clock, and came to the car, found two pheasants, four or five catties of smoked meat, ten catties of wild yam, and dates, walnuts, chestnuts, etc., and put them in two large cloth bags to go to the director of the mining machinery factory, Yu Sinian.

After arriving at the mining machinery factory and registering at the door, Zhang Dabao came to Yu Sinian's office.

Yu Sinian was talking to someone. He was a little surprised to see Zhang Dabao coming in, but he still quickly walked over and grabbed Zhang Dabao's hand.

"Da Biao, it's the wind that blew you here," Yu Sinian said enthusiastically.

"Uncle Yu, you go ahead and do your work. I just came back from the countryside and came to talk to you." Zhang Dabao saw that there were two other people standing there and smiled at them.

"Please sit down for a moment." Yu Sinian poured tea for Zhang Dabao and started discussing with the other two. In less than ten minutes, the other two left.

"Are you very busy at work, Uncle Yu?" Zhang Dabao said.

"You're busy with nothing. I don't know what you're busy with every day. Do you have something to ask for when you come to me?" Yu Sinian asked.

"I went to the countryside and collected some things. I brought some to you. Where on my motorcycle should I put them?" Zhang Dabao asked Yu Sinian.

"You always think of me. I have everything I need," Yu Sinian said with a smile.

"It's just two pheasants, a few pounds of smoked meat, some wild yam, local specialties and so on. The soup is very nutritious. I collected some when I went to the countryside last time. I stewed some myself and gave some to my cousin. The effects were all good. So, I went to the countryside to collect some again." Zhang Dabao said.

"Very nutritious? That's great. It's a little past ten o'clock now. Let's go home and have dinner together. I tell you, I don't know how to cook. So I'll teach your aunt well, using the things you brought." After Yu Sinian finished speaking, he packed up his things, and left with Zhang Dabao.

He didn't ask the driver to take him home, but rode Zhang Dabao's motorcycle.

"Is this modified from a spandrel? That's really good." Yu Sinian highly praised Zhang Dabao's three-wheeled motorcycle.

"It's convenient for going to the countryside and transporting things, and the most important thing is that I can live in the carriage when I go hunting," Zhang Dabao responded with a smile.

Yu Sinian's home is a four-story tube-shaped building, and his home is on the second floor. Only his wife is at home, and it seems that the child Yu Xiaoyong has gone to school.

"Auntie, I'm Zhang Dabao. I'm here to have a meal at your house." Zhang Dabao, carrying two bags, greeted Yu Sinian's wife.

"Da Biao, I have to thank you very much. I asked Old Yu to invite you a long time ago, but he wouldn't listen. Now I can see you." Aunt Yu was particularly enthusiastic.

Zhang Dabao took out a pheasant, put some ingredients on it, and stewed it.

"Your technique looks quite professional. There's an eighth-level chef in your hospital named Zhu Buzhe. Did he teach you?" Yu Sinian pulled Zhang Dabao to sit on the sofa and made tea.

"His name is He Yuzhu, and he is quite good. He studied Sichuan cuisine, and his family tradition is Tan cuisine. However, in this period, Tan cuisine can no longer be cooked, and the ingredients are not available," said Zhang Dabao.

"It seems that this guy is really good at it." Yu Sinian followed Zhang Dabao's words. He knew that Zhang Dabao came because of something.

"Uncle Yu, I heard that there is an engineer named Tong Zhi in your unit?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Is there such a person, your friend?" Yu Sinian thought of a spirited young man.

"They should be considered enemies before, but now they should be considered enemies," Zhang Dabao paused.

"What happened? Tell me about it." Yu Sinian understood something.

"A distant cousin of mine married him. Some time ago, I heard that Tong Zhi had an affair. My cousin had photos of him with his female apprentice. My cousin was also very hot-tempered, so she divorced him. Sometimes she would still run into him, and she always felt uncomfortable," said Zhang Dabia.

"There is such a thing. This is a big problem of work style. I didn't expect that a small technician could do such a thing. Dabiao, when you went to my office, our two deputy factory directors were discussing how to assist in the construction of a new iron ore plant in Sichuan Province. I think Tong Zhi is very suitable. He should reflect on himself there." After listening to this, Yu Sinian slammed the table and condemned Tong Zhi's behavior.

"Sichuan Province? It's a good place, but there are also many adopted daughters there. Should we write a note in the file to remind the leaders there to strengthen Tong Zhi's ideological education work?" Zhang Dabao suggested.

"Da Biao, this is a very good suggestion. Not only will I write it down in the file, I will also call the Yang Mine to explain it. It would be fine for him to go by himself. It's not humane for a married man to hook up with a young girl." Yu Sinian was very angry at Tong Zhi's behavior.

"Uncle Yu, I thank you on behalf of my cousin." Zhang Dabao used tea to mix wine and toasted Yu Sinian, who happily returned the toast.
