Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

As he had to treat guests to a dinner, Zhang Dabao left the steel rolling mill. He estimated that there would be many people coming to dinner today, so he needed to make some preparations in advance.

People in the Security Department are all big eaters. Zhang Dabao searched in the space on the motorcycle and took out a slab of pork ribs and five or six pounds of mutton. Two big dishes should be enough. Put potatoes in the ribs and tofu in the mutton, and heat up a pot of steamed buns. It will be enough for a dinner party.

When I arrived at Chunfeng Hutong, I chopped the ribs first, then soaked the meat and ribs in cold water, and took out dozens of steamed buns and put them aside.

After soaking the meat, Zhang Dabao sat on a stool beside him and didn't want to move. He felt that he was getting lazier and lazier and didn't want to do any work.

After thinking about it, I decided to go back to Yard 95 and let Jia Dongxu do it in the afternoon. He should be the one to do it, because he owed him a favor for protecting his mother.

Thinking of this big banner, he returned to Yard 95 and waited for Jia Dongxu to come back after dinner.

Jia Dongxu always had lunch at the company before coming back to deliver letters every morning. Although the work was monotonous, he had a sense of accomplishment after delivering the letters, which made him very happy. When delivering the letters, everyone was very enthusiastic towards him, which was something he had not encountered in the seven or eight years he had worked in the steel rolling mill, which made him even happier.

Jia Dongxu pushed his bicycle and hummed an unknown tune as he came to the backyard. "Seventh Uncle, have you eaten?"

"Yes. I'm inviting colleagues from the factory security department to dinner tonight. You and Xinsheng can go together," Zhang Dabao said to Jia Dongxu.

"Okay, but Uncle Xinsheng is injured and can't drink, and I may not be able to drink as much as them," Jia Dongxu said, scratching his head.

"Dongxu, from what you said, it seems that you can drink a lot. How much can you drink? Don't you have any self-control? You have the nerve to ask for just two cups?" Zhang Dabia looked at him with contempt.

Jia Dongxu smiled awkwardly.

"Xinsheng, Uncle Xing will be there today, along with a dozen team members. You should go and show your face. It should be helpful for your future work," Zhang Dabao called out to Huang Xinsheng.

He took Jia Dongxu and Huang Xinsheng to the courtyard of No. 10 Chunfeng Hutong. Jia Dongxu washed the meat and ribs, cut the meat, washed the vegetables, and cut the vegetables. Zhang Dabiao stewed the ribs and meat at three o'clock in the afternoon. The ribs were in a big pot, and the mutton plus ten pounds of tofu were also in a big pot. Gao also took some pickles and steamed buns. The side dishes only need to be put in half an hour before the pot is served. Then put the steamed buns in the pot to heat them up and they can be eaten directly.

Jia Dongxu was asked to move two boxes of Erguotou out of the house. The three of them drank tea in the yard, waiting for Xing Baoguo and others to come.

Xing Baoguo also arranged four groups today, each with six people. Two groups were scattered about twenty meters away from Zhang Cuihua, and the other two groups went to Meng Wutong.

After get off work, Zhang Cuihua went to the nursery to pick up Banggeng and Jingshu. After Zhang Lianhua arrived, the four of them walked home talking and laughing, not noticing that there were a few more people in front and behind them.

There are so many people getting off work that most people would not notice. Yu Fashui's friends, Sun Bo and Liu Qiang, are ordinary people who cannot be more ordinary. They would not notice that there are a few handsome guys following Zhang Cuihua.

Halfway back to Yard 95, Jia Jingshu was a little tired, so Zhang Lianhua began to carry her. At this time, most of the colleagues who had just got off work had dispersed, and there were fewer and fewer people on the street. When passing an alley, two young men came out.

"Zhang Cuihua" two young men holding wooden sticks shouted at this time, with black cloth wrapped on their faces.

When Zhang Cuihua heard someone calling her name, she was stunned for a moment. Seeing the posture of the two people, she quickly protected the stick behind her. Zhang Lianhua also put the child down from her body and protected it behind her.

"What do you want to do?" Zhang Cuihua asked the two loudly.

"Of course I'm going to beat you up, you fat woman. Who told you to meddle in other people's business?" said a young man.

"Don't mess around. There are so many people on the road. If you take action, you can't escape and will definitely be caught. You are still young, and your life will be ruined if you go in." Zhang Cuihua said to the two guys when she saw that there were a few people in front of her and a few people behind her.

"Whoever dares to interfere will be beaten to death," said a young man and rushed forward. Zhang Cuihua pushed her grandson and Zhang Lianhua aside and prepared to resist. It was not in Zhang Cuihua's character to not resist.

“Are you asking who dares to intervene? We dare to intervene. How dare you two dogs come out and hurt people?” The three people behind Zhang Cuihua ran over, and the three people in front heard the noise and blocked the way.

Obviously, the two guys with wooden sticks didn't expect so many people would be willing to take the initiative to help. They were a little overwhelmed and were knocked down while they were hesitating. The person who followed them took out a rope and tied up the two men directly. His technique was very professional and his movements were very skillful. You could tell at a glance that he was not a novice.

"Sister Zhang, we all need to go back to the factory. You need to go to the security department to take a statement. We need to lock up these two bastards," a young man came over and called out to Zhang Cuihua.

"Do you know me?" Zhang Cuihua said.

"Who in the steel rolling mill doesn't know you? Aren't you Sister Hua? The sister of Section Chief Zhang Dabia and the niece of Deputy Director Li? We are all from the factory security department. We received intelligence that someone attacked you this afternoon. It was those two. There were two others who attacked Meng Wutong. They should be sent to the security department soon. Section Chief Xing arranged six of us to catch them," the young man said to Zhang Cuihua.

"Attack me? Why?" Zhang Cuihua was a little confused.

"Because of Yu Fajun's matter, didn't you see his gossip? He is holding a grudge against you. Yu Fajun paid the money, and his brother Yu Fashui found these two people. We have a clear understanding of the situation," the young man explained.

"Yu Fajun holds a grudge against me? He was a hooligan but was not locked up. I have been nice to him. This bastard still dares to hold a grudge against me. Didn't he just look at the melon? What's the big deal?" Zhang Cuihua was a little angry.

Zhang Cuihua and other three returned to the security department, where Xing Baoguo was waiting for them.

"Xiaobai, what's going on? Is anyone injured?" Xing Baoguo asked the young man who led the team when he saw everyone coming back.

"Chief, no, if we catch these two bastards and someone gets hurt, won't we be laughed at? How can they escape if we catch them red-handed? Aren't Brother Liu's men back yet? Otherwise, why don't we catch Yu Fajun and Yu Fashui now? Now that the thugs have been caught, it would be inappropriate not to catch those who paid or hired people. We are all free anyway," said Bai Chenggong.

"Go, lock up these two men first." Xing Baoguo thought for a while and let Bai Chenggong and the others go.

After Bai Chenggong and six others left the factory, Xing Baoguo arranged for someone to take a statement from Zhang Cuihua, recording what happened at that time.
