Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

A willow tree stands on the southern pond, watching the arrival of spring day by day.

After dinner, Zhang Dabiao said goodbye and left. Liang Ladi went out to see him off, all the way to the bed in another alley. After hard work, Liang Ladi endured the discomfort and returned to her own yard. The two agreed to fight again tomorrow.

When Liang Ladi returned home, her daughter and three sons were all asleep, but her sister Liang Aihua was still waiting for her.

"Aihua, go to bed early. I'm sleepy too," said Liang Ladi.

"Sister, you like this man, right?" Liang Aihua suddenly said this.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Liang Ladi would certainly not admit it.

"I saw him touching your butt, and seeing how you looked really pleased, I knew there was something going on between you two. Sister, did you two do that just now?" Liang Aihua asked.

"How dare you, a grown woman, ask this? Do you have any shame?" Liang Ladi pinched her sister twice.

"I'm still a grown-up girl. I'm a widow, the most unlucky person in their eyes. If I hadn't followed you to the city, I might have died." Liang Aihua recalled the past.

"Aihua, you have to look forward. After Xiu'er goes to nursery, I will ask her if she can find a temporary job for you. With a job, you will have the possibility to stay in the city. I will find a good family for you then," said Liang Ladi.

"Sister, this yard is yours too, right? He is so generous. The things he just sent can be exchanged for three wives in the village," said Liang Aihua.

"What do you want to do? Volunteer yourself? I'm a widow and you're still a girl," Liang Ladi said.

"Sister, you are a blessed person. Your brother-in-law was very good to you when he was alive. Now that he is gone, the people you meet are still very good to you. I really envy you," Liang Aihua said with a sigh.

"Go to sleep. Xiu'er will cry if she can't find you when she wakes up. I'm sleepy," Liang Ladi said to her sister.

"Sister, one last thing. Is that thing really good?" Liang Aihua asked.

"Get out!" Liang Ladi was angry and pushed Liang Aihua out.

"How can it be bad? But how can I tell you?" Liang Ladi said to her sister in her heart, and then fell into a deep sleep.

Zhang Dabao slept until dawn, and suddenly remembered that he had not yet submitted his resignation report to Wen Li, Nan Yi and others, so he rode his bike to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

"Vice Chairman Zhang, Director Xing wants to see you about something." As soon as he entered the factory, a security team member stopped Zhang Dabao. Zhang Dabao knew the man, but his address was a little unfamiliar to him.

"Uncle Xing, have you been promoted? Becoming the factory director?" Zhang Dabao came to the security department's office where Xing Baoguo was.

"Let's make progress together. Dabiao, I, your uncle Xing, have benefited from following you. I will treat you to lunch today. You have to come," said Xing Baoguo.

"What does your progress have to do with me? Uncle Xing, will you continue to be in charge of the Security Department?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"I am the assistant to the factory director and the head of the security department. My administrative rank has been raised to deputy-department level. Of course, my main position is still the security department. Director Li would not be at ease if I hand over the security department to someone else," said Xing Baoguo.

"My cousin is back again?" Zhang Dabao smiled and understood in his heart that it seemed that Deputy Minister Wang and his people were really not capable enough and they withdrew after just a few days.

"The first deputy director of the Metallurgical Bureau, director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and the person in charge of organization has made a step forward. You haven't met him yet? You are really great. Go find Director Li first. Come to the Security Department at noon and we will eat at the door," said Xing Baoguo.

"Vice Chairman Zhang, you are here. The factory director is in the office." As soon as Zhang Dabao went upstairs, he saw Li Huaide's secretary Li Guoqiang coming to greet him, but he came out of the office director's office.

"Brother Li, are you taking advantage of the rising tide?" Zhang Dabao asked with a smile.

"Yes, you followed the right leader. Come to my office for tea later," Li Guoqiang said politely.

"Uncle, it's only been a few days." Zhang Dabao came to Li Huaide's office.

"Da Biao, you're back. If you don't come back, Director Liu will go crazy and come to my office every day because of orders," Li Huaide said, pointing at Liu Le in the rest area.

"Is that all? Let me make a call," Zhang Dabao took Li Huaide's phone and called Huabang Trading. "Xinsheng, it's me. Director Li from the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill is back. Of course, the order matter will continue. Aren't there still tens of thousands of tons? Let them sign the order contract. What about the Foreign Trade Department? The lawyers have plenty of excuses, let's call them quickly." Zhang Dabao hung up the phone.

"Over at Huabang Trading, Huang Xinsheng is the manager there. This guy has a good relationship with the boss," Zhang Dabao explained.

"Huang Xinsheng? The one from the security department? The guy who entered the factory with you?" Li Huaide was completely stunned.

"Of course it's him. The boss is his fellow villager, his cousin. Quite a few of our people went there this time, and most of them can make it after a few years. The really rich people there are all our fellow villagers," said Zhang Dabao.

The phone on the table rang again, and Li Huaide picked it up. "I'm Li Huaide, and this is my brother-in-law. Regarding the product quality issue, they said they read the wrong product number. Is it a misunderstanding? The order should be fine. Thank you, brother-in-law. Dabia, it's time to go to work. I'm in my office. Dabia, your uncle is calling you." Li Huaide handed the phone to Zhang Dabia.

"Uncle, it must be a misunderstanding. There is no problem with the quality of our products. Yes, I communicated with them and found that a technician made a mistake. The order has been restored and there are new orders." Zhang Dabao talked to Qiao Baozhong on the phone.

"Director Liu, you can rest assured now," Li Huaide said to Liu Le with a smile.

"Don't worry. Let's start up our new workshop the day after tomorrow. I asked someone to check it out. 9:18 in the morning is a good time," said Liu Le.

"I'll listen to you. Guoqiang," Li Huaide called out to the door, and Li Guoqiang ran in.

"The next notice is that the new workshop will have a test run at 9:18 am the day after tomorrow. All cadres at or above the deputy section level will participate in the event. Please tell Chen Jie separately and ask him to prepare well," said Li Huaide.

"I will go to the ministry in the afternoon and invite Minister Tang, Deputy Minister Shi, Director Yang and others to attend. Old Liu, please make preparations well," Li Huaide said to Le.

Seeing that Li Huaide was giving him so much face, Liu Le left the factory director's office and went to the workshop.

"Let's have lunch together today. The factory has been messing around with Li Feiyue and his gang for a few days and has disrupted discipline," Li Huaide said to Zhang Dabao.

"I agreed to have dinner with Uncle Xing. How about we go together?" Zhang Dabao said.

"I'll inform him." Li Huaide called Xing Baoguo again and asked him to have lunch in the canteen.

"Wang Jian also left this time and went to Jilin Province. His father Wang Peng was sentenced to three years in prison. You should let that guy come back to work. His mother comes to the factory to look for him every day," Li Huaide said with a smile.

"I forgot Meng Wutong. I'll go pick her up later," Zhang Dabao said, patting his head.

"Cuihua and the others performed well. I'll give you some money later. You have many friends, so you can buy meat and let Cuihua and the others have a good meal. I'll also reward each of them with some cash tickets. We can't let them work in vain." Li Huaide gave Zhang Dabao a hundred yuan.

"I heard that something happened to your eldest brother?" Li Huaide asked again.
