Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Li Huaide suddenly remembered that Zhang Dabao had brought back two horses, so he asked.

"Da Biao, what do you do with your horse?"

"I haven't thought about it yet. I'll just send him to my hometown and let my sixth brother and others take care of him. It's also okay to send him some goods or something," said Zhang Dabao.

"It's not raining now, what can the village have? It's better to let your sixth brother go to the street-level coal factory to deliver coal with a horse-drawn carriage than to keep one at home. You can bring your own horses and carriages and deliver coal to units or users at their homes. You can earn dozens of yuan a month. What kind of goods can you deliver to their homes?" Li Huaide said.

"That makes sense. I'll go back and ask my aunt to introduce me to the manager of the coal plant." Zhang Dabia felt that what Li Huaide said made sense.

"I just need to call the manager of the Red Star Coal Plant, and then call the Xiangyang Street Coal Plant. You go back to your hometown and get two horse-drawn carriages, and call four people. They can have two people in one carriage. It's definitely better than farming." It has to be said that Li Huaide has a good sense for economics.

"Uncle, I have some local specialties in my car. I'll take one portion for my aunt, and you can divide the rest among the factory director, section chief You, section chief Hu, and Uncle Xing," said Zhang Dabao.

"Okay, I'll send someone to deliver the one for your cousin as well. She's in a bad mood right now and just scolded me yesterday. If you go there, you'll definitely get scolded too," said Li Huaide.

"No need, I can go by myself. I'll bring my girlfriend with me, so my aunt will definitely not scold me. And my luggage and two semi-automatic trucks are in the car. Ask someone to return them to me," said Zhang Dabia.

"You have a girlfriend?" Li Huaide was surprised.

"Yes, He Yuzhu's sister is also from our courtyard. I will find time to bring her to visit your home," Zhang Dabao continued.

"Then you won't be scolded, but Qiao Yongqian might be beaten. Zhou Tian's family introduced another girl to him. I heard from my cousin that the two had a quarrel in the restaurant, and my cousin was so angry that she wanted to beat him up at that time," said Li Huaide with a smile.

The two men sent Zhang Dabao to the street in front of the gate of No. 95 courtyard. After returning, Zhang Dabao looked around and saw that there was no one around, so he carried a few pounds of smoked meat, horse meat and millet and went into the courtyard.

"Dabao is back from a business trip." At the gate of the hospital, Zhang Dabao met Aunt Yang Ruihua, whose smile was somewhat awkward.

"I'm back. Did you solve the problem? This is a specialty I brought back from my business trip. Please talk to him about it." Zhang Dabao pointed to what he was holding.

After he said this, Yang Ruihua didn't know how to respond and could only smile awkwardly again.

When they came to the backyard, Qin Jingru was accompanying Xiaodang to practice walking. She tied a scarf around Xiaodang's waist. Xiaodang walked in front, and she pulled the other end of the scarf from behind to prevent Xiaodang from falling.

"Xiaodang" Zhang Dabiao saw Xiaodang squatting down and opened his arms. Xiaodang saw that it was Zhang Dabiao who came back, and walked towards Zhang Dabiao with a smile. When she got to Zhang Dabiao, Zhang Dabiao picked her up.

"Seventh Uncle" Qin Jingru greeted him and lowered her head a little shyly.

"Jingru, please fry some smoked pork. We'll have it together at noon today. I brought some millet for Xiaodang. This is the millet that was used as tribute in the past. I heard it is very nutritious." Zhang Dabao gave the food in his hand to Qin Jingru, and left with Xiaodang in his arms.

Qin Jingru and Zhang Dabao ate smoked meat and drank millet porridge together. Xiaodang also ate an egg. After the meal, Qin Jingru took Jia Dang away, and Zhang Dabao closed the door and began to catch up on his sleep.

Around four o'clock in the afternoon, the factory sent someone to deliver his luggage, bacon and other things. Zhang Dabao took the things and when he looked up, he saw Jia Dongxu standing there.

"Are you stupid?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"Seventh Uncle, I was wondering why the factory sent you gifts? I have worked in the factory for so many years, and no one has ever sent me anything. My master is an eighth-level worker, and he never sent me anything either," said Jia Dongxu.

"I bought this myself. Who the hell gave it to me as a gift? Does the factory owe you something? You've been a first-level worker for seven years. Does the factory want to keep the longest record for first-level workers just to thank you? Use your brain to think about it. Forget it, you don't have a brain," said Zhang Dabao.

"I have a brain, Uncle Seven, what kind of meat is this?" Jia Dongxu saw horse meat and bacon.

"As for horse meat, wait for Zhuzi to come back and ask him to help cook it. After it's cooked, you can take a few pounds home. The meat has some fibers and is a bit rough. It won't taste good without any seasoning," said Zhang Dabao.

"Seventh Uncle, what is fiber?" Jia Dongxu asked again.

"Dongxu, wait for Teacher Yan to come back after school, set up a table and invite him to teach you again. You didn't lay a good foundation in elementary school. I'm just your uncle, not your teacher, and I can't answer so many questions for you." Zhang Dabao almost hit Jia Dongxu.

"I won't invite him. This little bit of meat is not enough for him to eat. Besides, his family member Jie Cheng has reported you." Jia Dongxu knew the distance.

"Cut the meat, soak it in cold water, and wait for Zhuzi to come back and call me," said Zhang Dabao.

After instructing Jia Dongxu, Zhang Dabao sat down on a chair at the door and started drinking tea.

He Yuzhu came back early and started cooking meat with Jia Dongxu.

When "Seventh Uncle" Bang Geng smelled the aroma of meat, he knew that Zhang Dabao had returned, and started barking as soon as he entered the backyard.

"Dongxu, you are really not as smart as Banggeng. As soon as he smelled the meat, he knew I was back, but as soon as you saw the meat, you wondered why it was not sent to you? How high is your position in the steel mill? Don't you have any idea at all?" Zhang Dabao said.

Jia Dongxu didn't say anything either, just laughed awkwardly twice.

"Seventh uncle, my grandmother said that my father has brought shame to our Jia family. She doesn't dare to say at work that she is Jia Dongxu's mother because others will laugh at her," Banggeng said to Zhang Dabao.

"Why are they making fun of your grandma?" Zhang Dabao asked Banggeng.

"Because my dad is lazy, greedy, and has poor skills. He is just like Guo Fu in our class. He is not obedient at all and is a bad boy," said Bang Geng.

"Jia Geng, shut up!" Jia Dongxu got angry, stood up and pointed at Bang Geng and started yelling.

"What Banggeng said is wrong? Jia Dongxu, you have been in the factory for so many years, and Youfu can't even hold his head up because of you. Even an old eighth-level official like Yi Zhonghai has no face. Did we blame you wrongly?" Zhang Cuihua also came to the backyard.
