Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Putting down the things in his hands, Zhang Dabao went out again. The time he had agreed with Wenli's parents was almost up. The two of them and Yu's sister could not get there through normal transfers, so they could only take a black ship. Let them go to the south to see the regiment commander Wu Liheng first, and then wait for more than ten or twenty comrades to arrive. Then they would leave first and the rest would be the second batch. They would just need to notify Huang Xinsheng and others to pick up the ship.

When they arrived at the Wen family, the old couple were at home. Zhang Dabao discussed with them and decided to send them on the train to Yangcheng on Monday. He wrote a letter of introduction for them, saying that they were visiting relatives. His daughter was in the army, so he gave them the address of the regiment headquarters.

After arriving in Guangzhou, they waited for two or three days and someone came to take them there. The old couple nodded in agreement.

He went to Yu Li's courtyard and discussed the same thing again. He asked them to live in the factory with Huang Xinsheng and others after they arrived, and he would arrange housing for them after they arrived. He also set off on Monday morning with Wen Li's parents.

After leaving their courtyard, Zhang Dabao came to the mining machinery factory and found the factory director Yu Sinian.

"Da Biao, are you on a business trip again?" Yu Sinian was very polite when he saw Zhang Da Biao coming.

"Uncle Yu, I've been back for a few days and there's nothing to do every day. Did my classmate resign?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Isn't it? I was just about to go to your house to talk to you about this Xiao Yu, he just doesn't want to do it anymore," said Yu Sinian.

"Forget about not wanting to work. I have a distant relative who is a second-level welder in a machine repair factory. Can she be transferred to our unit? The main thing is that her child is grown up and it’s far from school, and it’s hard for her to take care of him by herself," Zhang Dabao said to Yu Sinian.

"Level 2 welder. Our unit is short of welders. You can come anytime. I will write you a letter of acceptance." Yu Sinian agreed very readily.

"Thank you, Uncle Yu. I will tell her on Monday," Zhang Dabao said thank you.

"Xiao Yu is not coming, so has that position been dealt with?" Yu Sinian asked.

"Just take care of it. Xiaoyu may have left the capital," said Zhang Dabao.

"It will be easy once you leave Beijing. It just so happens that a classmate's daughter wants to be an announcer. She used to work at the Palace of Culture, but was unhappy there, so she wanted to transfer here," Yu Sinian explained.

"Just you arrange it. I have no objection at all." After a few words, Yu Haitang's position was assigned.

After refusing Yu Sinian's invitation to stay for dinner, Zhang Dabao came out of the mining machinery factory. It was already noon. In the afternoon, he made an appointment with a few children to plow the soil. The children were very honest, and he could not break his promise, so he hurried back to Yard 95.

I went to a lot of places this morning and felt a little tired. I was tired physically, but mainly mentally. So Zhang Dabao didn't eat lunch and just lay down on the bed to rest.

Nan Yi, who was still in the machine repair factory these days, suddenly received a transfer order from the head office, arranging him to work in the Hong Kong office of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. This shocked all his colleagues. Who could have thought that a toilet cleaner and a cook with a high status could go abroad? So countless people found Liu Feng and complained to Nan Yi, saying that he was not suitable and that they were the most suitable candidate, etc.

Liu Feng was so angry that he said two points. First, Nan Yi was transferred abroad to do his old job as a chef. If you think that you are a better chef than Nan Yi, you can recommend yourself to the main factory. Second, Nan Yi is now an employee of the main factory and he can't control him. The reason why he hasn't left yet is that he is waiting for his family to arrive.

Everyone became discouraged when they heard this. Even though Nan Yi's background was not good, his colleagues recognized his cooking skills. They felt that no one was better than him, so they gave up.

Liang Ladi knew that it was Zhang Dabao who made the move and she would be the next one, so she was very happy and gave Nan Yi a dried wild rabbit as a gift.

Nan Yi sent a telegram to Feng Chunliu, which only had a few words on it: "Chunliu, come to Beijing as soon as possible to get married. A dowry of 300 yuan is attached." The telegram had the address of the machine repair shop on it, and the rest was left to time.

The telegram is now the fastest means of communication besides the telephone. Of course, most rural areas do not have telephones, and neither do village offices, so the telegram is the fastest and can usually arrive on the same day. To remote places, it will definitely arrive within two days.

Feng Chunliu is working in the fields far away in the countryside of Anhui. This year's autumn harvest is particularly poor. His family is worried and doesn't know how to get through the winter.

"Chun Liu, if you can't do it, just go and find Nan Yi. At least you can have a way to survive." Her mother had said this to her twice, but she still hadn't made up her mind because she didn't know Nan Yi's current situation. Was Nan Yi married? Was he still working in the machine repair factory? What was the situation in Beijing like?

"Mom, I'll think about it again." After replying to his mother, Feng Chunliu went back to work in the fields.

"What are you thinking about? How can you live without food?" the mother muttered. In her heart, she didn't want her daughter to marry far away. Marrying far away would cause inconvenience in transportation and the separation might be forever. But what else could she do?

"Second sister-in-law, where is Chunliu? There is a telegram from the capital." The person who came to Feng Chunliu's house was the village accountant Feng Laowu.

"A telegram from Beijing?" Feng's mother was also a little puzzled. Did she have any relatives or friends in Beijing? Why would she send a telegram?

"Xiao Si, call your eldest sister back and tell her to hurry up. Comrade, this is Feng Chunliu's house, let's go inside and have some water." Feng Laowu gave way to the postman who came to deliver the telegram.

"OK" The postman came to Feng's house and sat on a small bench waiting for Feng Chunliu to come back.

The three of them chatted for a while, and then Feng Chunliu came back. "What's the matter? We just arrived at the field and haven't started working yet?" Feng Chunliu said.

"Accountant Feng, is this Feng Chunliu?" the postman asked Feng Laowu.

"She is Feng Chunliu, the eldest daughter of my second brother's family," said Feng Laowu.

"Comrade Feng Chunliu, do you have any acquaintances in the Beijing Machine Repair Factory?" asked the postman.

"Yes, my brother Nan Yi is a chef there. Did he write to me?" Feng Chunliu was a little skeptical.

"Are you on good terms with each other?" the postman asked again.

"Brother Nan said he wanted to marry me," Feng Chunliu said a little embarrassedly.

"That's it. Comrade Nan Yi sent a telegram. Please receive it." The postman took out two pieces of paper from his bag.

"I can't read, what does it say?" Feng Chunliu pressed his fingerprints on the postman's notebook, took the telegram and asked the postman.

"Let me read to you. This is Chunliu. Come to Beijing as soon as possible to get married. The attached gift is 300 yuan. This is the remittance slip. Take the slip and the letter of introduction to the post office and you can collect the 300 yuan." The postman explained to Feng Chunliu in detail.
