Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Jia Dongxu also went to the laboratory at this time. Liu Cuiping asked Yi Zhonghai, "Old Yi, I always feel that something is wrong. Why did Yan Jiecheng beat you for no reason? You said he confessed, why didn't he beat others?"

"I think so too. What do you think we should do?" Yi Zhonghai was smart. He had long felt that something was wrong. Now everything was out of his control and nothing was going well.

"Why don't we leave here? Old Yi, you are only 46 this year and I am only 45. We can go to another place to adopt a child and tell others that the child is ours. No one there knows us, but we can still raise him. Let's go to help with the reconstruction. They are all remote areas and it is quiet there. I also asked around and there are many good children in the welfare home," said Liu Cuiping.

"What does Dongxu say here?" Yi Zhonghai was now somewhat tempted.

"There's no need to say anything to Dongxu. What if we can't afford to raise the child and come back? Will Dongxu still ignore us? When we go out, we can entrust the house and other things to Dongxu. When we raise the child and are sure we won't come back, we'll give the house to Dongxu, and he won't lose anything. If we come back, we'll give him everything in the house, and he won't lose anything even more." Liu Cuiping now felt very uneasy and wanted to leave Beijing.

"I'll listen to you. I'll leave as soon as I'm discharged from the hospital. Tomorrow you go to the factory to find Chief Engineer Wang Cheng and write a report to apply for aid. Don't let anyone else know for now. You go and see the children in the welfare home early and take them with us when we leave." Yi Zhonghai agreed with his wife's idea. He was scared by Yan Jiecheng's inexplicable beating this time.

Zhang Dabiao went fishing in the river for the whole morning today, and of course he had a good harvest. After lunch, he found out where Niu Kewu's home was, so he went to visit his family, gave him fish and horses, and Niu Kewu's mother and his two sons were at home. He first told him that his injury would heal quickly, and then said that Niu Kewu was now a deputy section chief, and that he and Niu Kewu were partners, and that they were on business trips together, and that they were brothers in life and death.

Niu Kewu's two sons especially liked Zhang Dabao. Zhang Dabao made a knife and a gun for the two children out of wood and played with the two children for half an afternoon. When he left, the two children were reluctant to leave and cried.

Zhang Dabao had no choice but to coax the two of them with candy and promised to come back in two days.

When he returned to the hospital, he saw that Jia Dongxu was not there. After asking Qin Jingru, he found out that Yi Zhonghai was beaten into the hospital by Yan Jiecheng.

Zhang Dabao almost laughed out loud after hearing this. Yan Jiecheng was really awesome. He felt it was a bit of a pity. He felt that the crow's reaction was a bit strong at the time, but he was fishing and didn't pay attention to it.

It would be a shame not to celebrate the beating of Lao Yi, so Zhang Dabao decided to celebrate by having something delicious tonight.

"Old Yi is not so lucky. His leg was already injured, and now he must be lame after being beaten like this by Yan Jiecheng. It's so pitiful. Let's have fish tonight, fried or braised?" Zhang Dabao asked Qin Jingru.

"Seventh Uncle, they are all delicious." Qin Jingru was still a little embarrassed.

"How about making sweet and sour dish? We happen to have some big carp today. I haven't eaten it for a long time, so it still smells good. First, fry the fish thoroughly in oil, then pour the sauce on it. This is a famous dish at Shandong banquets. But they all use big carp from the Yellow River, so it tastes good just thinking about it," said Zhang Dabao as he went to the kitchen to clean up the fish.

Qin Jingru was a little confused about Zhang Dabiao's train of thought. What did Lao Yi's misfortune, his lame leg, have to do with eating fish? And it was sweet and sour carp.

He Yuzhu came back early today and went to the hospital again.

After Xu Damao came back, Zhang Dabao called him over. Eating fish is such a joyful thing, but it cannot be done without a drinking buddy. Although Xu Damao can't eat, he can speak it and speaks well, which makes him a talented person.

After Zhang Cuihua came back, she also expressed regret about Yi Zhonghai being beaten, but she was more concerned about eating sweet and sour fish.

"Seventh uncle, my father is not at home. He might not be happy when we come back after eating the big carp," Banggeng reminded Zhang Dabao.

"Who cares whether he is happy or not. In this case, you should eat more and taste it carefully. When Dongxu comes back, you can tell him about it," said Zhang Dabao.

"I thought so too," Banggeng was happy and decided to talk to his father in detail about the taste of sweet and sour fish tomorrow morning.

"Banggeng, you are so filial, your father must be very happy, right?" Xu Damao asked Banggeng.

"Of course he will be happy. I will talk to him in detail," Banggeng replied to Xu Damao proudly, and then went out to play with Jia Jingshu.

Xu Damao looked at Banggeng's butt, which was chubby and should feel good to hit. He just didn't know if Jia Dongxu would have time to make a move.

When He Yushui and Qin Tihuairu came back from get off work, the food was served. There were no separate tables today, and the table was full of men, women, young and old. Nowadays, if something is sweet, everyone will think it is very high-end. This is especially true for the sweet and sour carp. It is first fried, and it must be fried thoroughly, and then poured with sweet and sour sauce while it is hot. The taste was simply too overbearing in 1960.

"Uncle, the food is so delicious!" Jia Jingshu just kept eating. Banggeng now eats almost the same as an adult, not to mention Zhang Cuihua who eats the most.

"I never thought that fish could be cooked like this. It's so delicious." Zhang Cuihua was a little full today. She burped, sighed and said.

"Aunt, this is the first time I eat this kind of fish. Let your uncle cook it for us more often in the future," Jia Jingshu said to Zhang Cuihua.

"Of course it would be best to eat it often, but it's enough to eat it once. I didn't expect that I could still eat something like this when I was getting old. When Youfu and I just got married, we had nothing and suffered a lot." Zhang Cuihua thought of the past again.

"That was a thing of the old society. Now it's a new society. Why talk about this? People have to always look forward. Life will be better in the future. By that time, you won't even eat meat if I ask you to," Zhang Dabao said to his elder sister.

"I don't eat meat? Am I sick?" Zhang Cuihua didn't believe it at all. She certainly didn't know how fast the country has developed since the new century. What do the real rich people eat? Wild vegetables are more expensive than meat. Who would believe it if I told them now?

"I don't believe it either" the stick was also eaten.

Xu Damao is a worldly-wise man, but he has not eaten sweet and sour fish very often, the number of times can be counted on one hand. Tonight he wanted to eat good food and drink good wine, so he drank two glasses.

Xu Damao returned home after dinner. He was still a little drunk. His mother poured him a glass of water, which he drank in one gulp.

"Da Mao, what are you eating? Why is it so lively?" his mother asked him.

"Mom, sweet and sour carp, made by Da Biao, the taste is no different from that of the chef, it's really delicious," Xu Damao said and smacked his lips.
