Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Qian Long's father turned to Zhang Dabao again.

"Brother Dabia, your medicine is very useful. Unfortunately, we can't make it now. When the time comes, let Qian Long and others thank you. I would like to say thank you here." Qian Long's father expressed his gratitude to Zhang Dabia.

Zhang Dabao repeatedly said that it was not necessary and it was his job.

"Huanian, I can't die in the hospital. I want to go back to my hometown to take a look at the place where I once lived and fought. I want to be buried next to my parents when I die. I couldn't fulfill my filial piety during my lifetime, so I will repay my parents' kindness after I die," said Qian Long's father.

"Dad, let's go. I've called your unit and the leader has agreed to your request." Qian Long walked in with tears in his eyes and helped his father up from the hospital bed.

"Huanian, goodbye." Qian Long's father saluted Lei Huanian before leaving. Lei Huanian quickly returned the salute. At this time, he was already crying.

The Qian Long brothers and their father left in a car, but Lei Huanian in the hospital could not let it go for a long time.

"Da Biao, let's go back too," Lei Huanian said after wiping his eyes.

Zhang Dabao followed Lei Huanian and they went downstairs.

"Cousin" Zhang Dabao saw Qiao Yongqian in the hospital and called him.

"Da Biao, are you here to see the patient?" Qiao Yongqian walked over.

"Yes, what about you? Is that your sister-in-law?" Zhang Dabao saw Huang Ruofan.

"Of course it's your sister-in-law. I brought her lunch. What delicious food is there in the hospital? This is made by me," Qiao Yongqian said proudly.

"You're really speechless. I have something else to do. This is Uncle Lei." Zhang Dabao introduced Lei Huanian.

"Uncle Lei, this is my aunt's cousin Qiao Yongqian," Zhang Dabao introduced them to each other.

The two men shook hands, Zhang Dabao waved to Huang Ruofan, and went out with Lei Huanian.

"Yongqian, what is your cousin doing here?" After Zhang Dabao left, Qiao Yongqian and Huang Ruofan found a place to eat under a tree in the hospital.

"Here to see the patient. I seem to have seen this Uncle Lei somewhere, but I can't remember where," said Qiao Yongqian.

"It seems your cousin has a lot of friends," Huang Ruofan said again.

"It's not surprising that my cousin has many friends since he is young and rich. However, the friends he hangs out with are all old men, and there are very few young people," Qiao Yongqian continued to complain about his cousin.

"Does your cousin have a girlfriend? Xiao Zhang from our nurse station asked me about him." Huang Ruofan asked again.

"He has a girlfriend and has been to my house. That was the day Da Biao accompanied me to apologize to you. Because he had a girlfriend, my mother beat me several times. Fortunately, I have you now and my mother doesn't beat me anymore." Qiao Yongqian smiled foolishly.

When they arrived at the Lei family, Zhang Dabao and Lei Huanian had a light lunch. The person Lei Huanian sent out to inquire about jobs also came back. "Dabao, there are four suitable ones. Be a teacher at the Cultural Palace; go to the Women's Federation at the textile factory; be an announcer at the Mining Machinery Factory, where my eldest brother works; and another one is a teacher at the Red Star Primary School." Lei Huanian listed the four positions.

"Be an announcer, it's an easy and respectable job, how much does it pay?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Let's talk about money later. Do I still need to spend money with my brother?" Lei Huanian said.

"It's not my relative who is recruiting workers, so of course it costs money. It's not me who pays, so her family will pay for whatever it costs," said Zhang Dabao.

"Da Biao, just take whatever amount they give you. These four positions don't need the money. To tell you the truth, I have repaid the company commander's favor and resolved the knot in my heart. This is something that no amount of money can do," said Lei Huanian.

Zhang Dabao agreed without saying anything else. The three hundred yuan he asked from the Yu family was definitely not enough to find a job like this for Yu Haitang. He had originally wanted to give her a little bit of money. Now, he didn't have to pay a penny and could still earn three hundred yuan.

After getting the job application form, Zhang Dabao went directly to Masi Hutong.

After knocking on the door for a long time, Yu Haitang finally came to open it. "Are you asleep?" Zhang Dabao said unhappily.

"I was so scared sleeping here alone last night that I couldn't sleep the whole night," Yu Haitang said aggrievedly.

"The job has been settled. You'll be working as an announcer in a mining machinery factory. I'll take you to handle the formalities tomorrow. Haitang, you can't tell anyone about this small courtyard of mine, okay?" Zhang Dabao reminded her.

"Brother Dabiao, can you find a smaller place for me to live in? The yard is too big and I'm scared to live there," said Yu Haitang.

"Who asked you to live here? Are you sick? When you go to work tomorrow, you will live in the factory dormitory. When you get married, you can live in your partner's house. What's the point of a grown-up girl like you always staying here with me?" Zhang Dabao was so angry that he laughed.

"Aren't I your concubine?" Yu Haitang asked, looking up.

"Go to hell. Now it's a new society. I've found you a job and your family paid 300 yuan. The factory manager there is my friend, and I used my connections to arrange it for you. When you go to work, just work hard, okay?" Zhang Dabao saw that she was pretending to be pitiful and slapped her on the butt twice.

"I don't want to live in the dormitory, I want to live here." Yu Haitang hugged Zhang Dabao and started to act like a spoiled child.

"Aren't you scared?" Zhang Dabao was at a loss. Beating him didn't work, and talking wouldn't let him listen.

"You and I live here," Yu Haitang requested.

"If Yu Shui knew about this, we would no longer be able to live as human beings. This is simply not acceptable," Zhang Dabao refused.

Yu Haitang just held him tightly and refused to let go. Zhang Dabao didn't know what to do. In fact, every man likes this feeling very much.

"Haitang, how about waiting until you get to work? I'll give you money and you can buy two sets of clothes. You need to wear something nice when you go to work tomorrow." Zhang Dabao used the temptation of money.

"Okay." Yu Haitang thought it made a lot of sense and let go of Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabao also gave Yu Haitang one hundred yuan. She said that He Yushui took one hundred yuan to buy clothes, so she had to take one hundred yuan as well. Zhang Dabao was now compromising step by step.

"Go early and come back early, cook for yourself. I have something to go home for, and I'll call you tomorrow morning." Zhang Dabao said and left. If he didn't leave, it would be easy for something to go wrong.

Back at Yard 95, Jia Dongxu was sitting at the door in a daze, "Seventh Uncle, did you go to the countryside yesterday?"

"Yes, is there something wrong?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"The factory gave my mother another reward yesterday. This time it was from the Security Department, also 20 yuan. You say she's an old lady, she's only been in the factory for a month and she's received rewards twice, how come I've only been rewarded once?" Jia Dongxu was very distressed.

"Dongxu, the factory has not discovered your strengths, and you are not good at being a fitter; but the factory has discovered your mother's strengths. Your mother completed the task well, so the factory will naturally reward her," said Zhang Dabao.

"If this goes on, my mother might really become a cadre. Wouldn't others laugh at me even more?" Jia Dongxu said worriedly.

"Your mother is a cadre, who dares to laugh at you? You are the son of a cadre, others are envious of you, who can laugh at you? Don't think about these trivial things, go to the sweet potato field and turn over the seedlings when you have nothing to do." Zhang Dabao said a few words to Jia Dongxu and returned to the house.
