Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Dad, how am I fat? I'm strong, okay?" Banggeng said to Jia Dongxu.

"What do you mean by strong? Your waist is as thick as a bucket and as fat as a pig. It will soon become a ball," Jia Dongxu continued to criticize his son.

"Jia Dongxu, why are you talking non-stop? Can't you see that your seventh uncle is drinking? Can't you speak at such a grown-up? If you can't, just shut up," Zhang Cuihua spoke.

"Mom, I'm taking care of the child, but you don't let me. You're spoiling him too much, which is not good," said Jia Dongxu.

"I feel that it would be a shame to give birth to you instead of throwing you into the toilet and drowning you. I've been too good to you and raised you to be nothing. Get out of here," Zhang Cuihua said as she was about to take action.

"Really? Can't you just talk nicely?" Jia Dongxu was a little unhappy and stood outside the door.

"Dongxu, I find that you really don't know how to talk. Can you mention anything related to fat when you are guarding your mother?" Zhang Dabao looked at Jia Dongxu who didn't understand why he was being scolded, so he pointed it out to him.

He Yuzhu, He Yushui, and Zhang Lianhua laughed out loud after hearing what Zhang Dabao said, and Qin Huairu also covered her mouth.

"I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about the good joke," Jia Dongxu was still quibbling.

"I can't communicate with Dongxu, so I brought you coats. They are very fashionable when you wear them." Zhang Dabao came into the house and took out coats from the bag for everyone.

The fat, short, black one I bought especially for Zhang Cuihua made her look like a black bear from a distance.

"Does it look good?" Zhang Cuihua asked everyone after putting it on.

"It looks really good, and most importantly, it has a certain temperament. You can tell at first glance that it's worn by officials," said He Yuzhu.

"Not bad," Qin Huairu said.

"It looks very good," Zhang Lianhua also said.

"I don't think it looks good. My mother is too fat. It looks like she is wearing a big bag..." Jia Dongxu said at the door.

"Jia Dongxu..." Zhang Cuihua put down her clothes and chased after him, picking up the broom on the ground as she went out.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth," Jia Dongxu explained.

"I asked you to tell the truth." Zhang Cuihua chased and beat Jia Dongxu, and beat him out of Yard 95.

"Why is Dongxu so bad at speaking?" Zhang Lianhua asked.

"My eldest sister just said that Dongxu was spoiled too much when he was a child. If he had been beaten earlier, he would have become a better person long ago," said Zhang Dabao.

"You guys try, I'll give a few packs of cigarettes to Damao, Guangtian and the others." Zhang Dabao went out, and Lou Xiao'e had already returned to her parents' home. Zhang Dabao gave Xu Damao a pack of foreign cigarettes, one pack to Liu Guangtian's brother, and two packs of snacks to Liu Guangfu.

When they returned home, He Yuzhu, Zhang Lianhua and Jingshu left with their clothes and the snacks that Zhang Dabao had given them. Zhang Cuihua and Qin Huairu also left, but He Yushui was still there.

"Yu Shui, I brought you a women's watch and a radio." Zhang Dabao took out the watch from his arms and put it on He Yu Shui's hand.

"Brother Dabao" He Yushui leaned in Zhang Dabao's arms.

The two of them had been affectionate for less than ten minutes when they heard Jia Dongxu's voice. He Yushui was still a little shy, so she quickly sat up from Zhang Dabao's arms and walked away.

"Seventh Uncle, you have to talk about my mother. She has a very bad temper," Jia Dongxu said as he came into the room and sat down on a chair.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with your mother's temper. Dongxu, can't you think before you speak? Can't you praise people? Your mother is also a woman, what's wrong with coaxing her?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"My mother is not a child anymore, do I need to coax her?" Jia Dongxu didn't understand at all.

"Haven't you heard of the saying 'old child'? The older people get, the more they behave like children. Can you just treat her like a child and coax her?" Zhang Dabao was furious. To be honest, this was the first time he met someone with such low EQ as Jia Dongxu.

"It's no problem to coax children. This is my strong point." Jia Dongxu was happy again.

"Whoever gave you the confidence, who would you try to fool? Can you fool Bang Geng?" Zhang Dabao couldn't help but say something to Jia Dongxu.

"I will coax Xiaodang and give her something to eat. She doesn't cry at all and eats happily," said Jia Dongxu.

Zhang Dabao took a deep breath and told himself to hold back. Jia Dongxu had just been beaten by his mother, and it would not be nice for him, as an uncle, to beat him again. "Do you still want to smoke? Grab a cigarette and leave," Zhang Dabao said.

"Seventh Uncle, you gave me the cigarettes. Can I deliver them to Director Shi?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"What's wrong? Your captain has been transferred?" Zhang Dabao felt a little bit unbelievable about the enterprising spirit shown by Jia Dongxu.

"I haven't left yet. I just burned incense in advance," said Jia Dongxu.

"There's progress. It seems like you've not been in vain as team leader. You're much better than Liu Haizhong." Zhang Dabao smiled and gave Jia Dongxu a whole carton and four packs of loose foreign cigarettes.

It was really too cold that day, and it was not appropriate to take a cold shower, so Zhang Dabao just washed his feet and went to bed.

"Sister-in-law, is this new clothes?" Early in the morning, Yang Ruihua was startled when he saw a black bear walking towards him in the distance. How could there be ferocious beasts in the capital, so he did not shout out. When he got closer, he saw that it was Zhang Cuihua wearing a black coat.

"This is a woolen coat that Da Biao brought back for me from the south. The coat cost more than 100 yuan," Zhang Cuihua said in a low voice.

"More than a hundred? So expensive?" Yang Ruihua was completely stunned. What kind of clothes is this and why does it cost so much? It completely overturned Yang Ruihua's cognition.

"This is woolen cloth, made from the fine hair of sheep. One piece of clothing uses the fine hair of many sheep. It's expensive for a reason. It's very warm to wear. You see, my head is sweating. So I went to the street to buy some buns," said Zhang Cuihua.

Yang Ruihua doesn't want to talk now, she is autistic. What is there to say? We were all poor, but it took you less than a year to get well and you are wearing a coat that costs more than a hundred yuan.

Niu Xiaozheng's mother in the front yard also came out, and several women in the backyard also came over after hearing Yang Ruihua's exclamation. They touched Zhang Cuihua's coat and praised her. Zhang Cuihua was very happy.

Zhang Cuihua wore a coat to work, but Zhang Lianhua didn't. In her words, "I'm just a custodian, why should I wear this? I'm not a cadre. I'll wear it when I need something."

Qin Huairu could wear it, but her belly was too big to button it, so she didn't wear it. He Yushui had to wear work clothes, and Qin Jingru couldn't wear them at home, so only Zhang Cuihua put on the new coat herself.

It was almost nine o'clock when Zhang Dabao got up. He ate something and wanted to go out for a look. Then Xu Sinian from the factory came.

"Da Biao, this is the information of that person." Xu Sinian handed a file bag to Zhang Da Biao.

"Brother Xu, doesn't our factory have a candidate for chief engineer?" Zhang Dabao asked after taking the file bag.
