Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

It was night again. Zhang Dabao did not go back to the cliff where he was last time. Instead, he found a small cave nearby, took out his tent and sleeping bag to rest.

At five o'clock in the morning, the alarm clock woke Zhang Dabao up. He came to the trap, put two bags of corn and two bags of sweet potatoes in it, pulled the rope, and came to a big tree not far away.

After doing all this, all that was left was time. The sun gradually rose, and the mountain became lively. Zhang Dabiao did not eat, but waited quietly.

A little after nine in the morning, the wild boars arrived. The scarcity of food in the mountains in winter forced them to spend more time and walk more every day to find food. The sweet smell of corn and sweet potatoes made them unable to stop. One entered the fence and started eating, then the second one, and more and more wild boars entered. The food became less and less, and the smell became stronger, so the wild boars outside could not bear it. Now there are two wild boars outside, and the others have entered the trap made by Zhang Dabiao. The rope in Zhang Dabiao's hand moved, and the fence door fell down. The wild boars inside were in a mess, and they collided everywhere.

About ten minutes later, Zhang Dabao came down from the tree and looked at today's results. There were nearly twenty wild boars, a large group. It seemed that this would provide part of the meat for the steel mill's Lantern Festival banquet.

Zhang Dabao opened fire with the Type 56 semi-automatic rifle in his hand, and the wild boars that had just calmed down in the fence became restless again, but it was no longer effective.

The gunfire stopped and the whole valley was filled with the smell of blood. Zhang Dabao collected all the wild boars into the space and also collected all the wood used to make the fence.

He turned around and was about to leave when he heard the howling of wolves in the distance. They must have been attracted by the smell of blood. Zhang Dabao didn't want to fight them. These creatures were much smarter than wild boars, good at teamwork, and had endurance. In the mountains, they were almost invincible.

Going down the mountain was much faster than going up. While going down, Zhang Dabao collected hay from the space. He wanted to spread the hay in the carriage and cover the wild boars with hay. Otherwise, you might not be able to get back to the steel mill with such a large carriage of meat, as the meat would be intercepted by various units along the way.

After getting down the mountain, Zhang Dabao got out the car and rested in it for a while. After thinking about it, he decided not to take the meat out. The road was difficult to drive on at this time and the car could not run fast. If he encountered unreasonable people, he would get into trouble. It would be better to put the wild boar in the car when he was closer to the capital.

Zhang Dabao drove south, this time driving much slower. He arrived around noon, crossed the Qingshui River, parked the car in a small woods, ate something in the car, and took a nap.

After resting up, Zhang Dabao spread hay in the carriage and put 19 wild boars in it. He also took out the small wild boar he had shot in Zhangjia Village and left the two big ones in his space.

After releasing the wild boar, covering it with hay and sealing it with ropes, Zhang Dabao started the car again and arrived at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill at 4:30 in the afternoon.

After the car entered the south gate, Zhang Dabao went to the security department and found the section chief Xing Baoguo to return the gun first. "Dabao, do you have anything?" Xing Baoguo asked after putting the gun away.

"Uncle Xing, we've shot several people and they're all in the car. Aren't we here to return the guns first? I'm afraid you'll be leaving after get off work soon," said Zhang Dabao.

"There are a few more. Let me go and take a look." Xing Baoguo was a little skeptical. After leaving the security department, he climbed onto the car and pulled away the grass. He saw that they were really wild boars.

"Kid, you really don't know which side is more important. The leader is so anxious about the meat. Why don't you return the gun first? Drive to the small canteen, which is just behind the office. I will report to Director Li." Xing Baoguo said to Zhang Dabao with a smile on his face.

Zhang Dabiao drove the car to the small cafeteria behind the office building, while Xing Baoguo ran up to the office building. He ran quite fast and didn't look like he was 45 years old at all. After reaching the third floor, Xing Baoguo opened the door of Li Huaide's office and went in. "Director Li, hurry up, pig..."

"What kind of pig are you, Old Xing? I think you were chased by a dog, why are you so anxious?" Li Huaide said with a smile.

"Da Biao, we've got a truckload of pigs back. They're right in front of the canteen." Xing Baoguo breathed a sigh of relief and explained everything clearly.

"What, a truckload of pigs? Why didn't you say so earlier?" Li Huaide pushed open the office door and went downstairs, faster than Xing Baoguo.

"Da Biao, where's the wild boar?" Li Huaide ran over, panting a little. When he saw Zhang Da Biao, he hurriedly asked. He was now very worried about the banquet. He and Director Yang had contacted no less than five meat processing plants, and a total of 200 kilograms of meat were given. However, the employees had already been told about the full meal. Without a decent dish, how could the employees be happy? Now that there was news about the meat, Li Huaide was very happy.

"Uncle, there are eighteen or nineteen of them in the car, and they are of different sizes. We need to have someone deal with them quickly. If we wait until tomorrow and the blood doesn't come out, the quality of the meat may be affected." Zhang Dabao said.

"Need I tell you, I can't fight, but I can eat, right?" Li Huaide laughed.

"Old Xing, ask Old Kang to gather all the chefs, kill the pig first, and clean out the offal water, otherwise the meat will not taste good tomorrow. You run fast, so run again," Li Huaide said to Xing Baoguo when he saw Xing Baoguo coming.

"Okay." Xing Baoguo ran upstairs again. He thought to himself, I can't run as fast as you. Who would believe that you are a civilian cadre? You are much faster than me.

After about ten minutes, fifteen or sixteen chefs came to the door of the small canteen. He Yuzhu from Yard 95 was also inside. Director Kang from the Logistics Department was holding a meeting with the chefs.

"Unload the truck!" Director Kang gave the order, and seven or eight young men got on the truck. Another seven or eight people continued on the truck, and the pig-slaughtering work began.

"Uncle, there's nothing else, I'll go back first. I've been out for three days and my clothes smell." Zhang Dabao saw that everyone was busy and had nothing else to do, so he wanted to go home.

"Go back. Wait, there is a Golden Deer bicycle in the bicycle shed in front of the office building. It's mine. I can't usually ride it. You can ride it back. Here are the keys." Li Huaide took a small handful of keys from a bunch of keys and gave them to Zhang Dabao.

"The one with the most dirt is this one. Find a rag and wipe it." Li Huaide gave another instruction when he saw Zhang Dabao walking away.

"Deputy Director Li, is that your nephew?" He Yuzhu came over and asked.

"Yes, do you know him?" Li Huaide did not have a good impression of He Yuzhu, the troublemaker in the cafeteria, and answered casually.

"We live in the same courtyard, he lives in the back yard and I live in the middle yard," said He Yuzhu.

"Really? He is young, so don't let anyone bully him. Help him more if he needs help," said Li Huaide.

"Okay," He Yuzhu agreed, but he didn't want to talk anymore. What do you mean he's young? Just because he's young, will he be bullied? It's okay for him to bully others, and he even needs help. One person can beat ten of me.
