Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Dad, what do you see here?" It was dark, and Yan Bugui came back carrying a bucket. As soon as he entered the house, he asked his wife to pull it into the house. Yang Ruihua pointed at the two bundles of leeks on the table and asked.

"Leeks? Given by Da Biao? This thing is really rare," said Yan Bugui.

"Jie Kuang and Jie Di went to help Da Biao cut leeks. Da Biao gave them the reward. Jia Dongxu also stewed mutton for them. Let Jie Kuang and Jie Di eat meat and drink soup at their place," said Yang Ruihua.

"Da Biao is really good to these two kids. Jie Cheng is a jerk and he even sued them. What should we do with them? Should we sell them all?" Yan Bugui asked his wife.

"Why don't we sell a bundle? We can be a bit extravagant and make some leek dumplings for the New Year," Yang Ruihua asked Yan Bugui.

"There is absolutely no need. It's not like we haven't eaten leeks before. The two children must have eaten them at Dabiao's house. We've also tried them when Zhang Cuihua was promoted last time. This thing is rare in winter. I think it should be able to sell for a good price. After dinner, I'll ask a few teachers to see if they need any gifts. This thing is much better than cigarettes and alcohol. Which leader doesn't like it?" Yan Bugui thought for a moment and rejected his wife's suggestion.

"You are right. If we sell the leeks, we can buy a lot of cabbage, which is also delicious," said Yang Ruihua.

The Yan family in the front yard was considering selling leeks, while Zhang Dabiao was considering giving vegetables and sheep as gifts. To whom should he give them? How much should he give? Having more friends is a good thing, but giving gifts is also a big question. Too many is not appropriate. How can people give you gifts in return? Too little is not good. Some people will find fault. Zhang Dabiao spent a lot of time and effort to choose the gifts; two bundles of leeks, a few pounds of millet, and a few pounds of mutton are enough for friends. Elders can give more; Yu Huanian, Ji Denian, and Lei Huanian can give more. They are all leaders and are considered elders.

"Dongxu's stewed mutton is delicious," He Yuzhu said after returning to the yard and tasting the soup.

"Of course, am I, Jia Dongxu, an ordinary person?" Jia Dongxu said proudly.

"Is it ready? Let's eat it after stewing. Banggeng and the others are hungry," Zhang Dabao said to Jia Dongxu.

"Okay, absolutely ready. I'll serve them. Zhuzi, would you like a glass?" After serving the child, Jia Dongxu turned around and asked He Yuzhu.

"I won't drink anymore. Drinking is harmful to my health and it also interferes with my work." He Yuzhu waved his hands repeatedly.

"What are you talking about, you woman? Isn't it just that my aunt doesn't allow you to drink? Is it harmful to your body? Do you really need to hurt your body? What are you going to delay? What is there to delay in the middle of the night?" Jia Dongxu retorted to He Yuzhu several times.

"I really don't want to drink. I won't drink anymore in the future. When you get beaten for drinking too much, you always say that I asked you to drink and you were not careful with your mouth." He Yuzhu still shook his head.

"You are such a jerk. My aunt will only hit you a few times at most. Don't worry, when she hits you, I will pull you back. My aunt will listen to me, and my persuasion will be enough," said Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu, I still feel it's not appropriate," said He Yuzhu.

"What's inappropriate? My seventh uncle just came back from a business trip, shouldn't we welcome him? Your marriage is meaningless and you are afraid of your wife. Look at me, I am not afraid of my wife at all," said Jia Dongxu.

"You are not afraid of your wife, but you are afraid of your mother," Zhang Dabao said.

"Da Biao, don't say that. Jia Dongxu has grown up now and is the team leader of the post office. He is a great man. How could he take me seriously?" Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lianhua were standing at the door. He Yuzhu saw them a long time ago, but Jia Dongxu had his back to the door and did not see them.

"Every day he says he doesn't want to drink anymore. When I say a few words to him, Jia Dongxu either says that Zhuzi asked him to drink, and he is my uncle-in-law, and it would be inappropriate for me not to drink. Or he says that I have been running around too much today, so I just need a drink to relieve my fatigue. Jia Dongxu, why do you have so many problems?" Zhang Cuihua said to her son.

"Zhuzi, you saw it and you didn't tell me earlier. Are you really that great? What kind of good brother are you?" Jia Dongxu was speechless and directed his criticism at He Yuzhui.

"Who is your brother? I am your uncle." He Yuzhu turned his head away.

"Okay, you look so greedy. You can only drink one glass." Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu to sit down, poured him a glass, and also poured a glass for He Yuzhu.

"By the way, did Banggeng get the certificate?" Halfway through his meal, Zhang Dabao thought of the agreement between Banggeng and Jia Dongxu before he set out.

"Of course I got two certificates," Bang Geng said proudly.

"You did get two certificates, but does that have anything to do with studying?" Jia Dongxu said angrily.

"Getting two tickets has nothing to do with my grades? What's going on?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"One is for the best labor performance, and the other is for the little sports expert," said Qin Huairu.

"Aren't certificates given only to students who are three good students?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Of course not. There are thirty people in the class, and only five of them are three-good students. My arithmetic is not that good, so my grades do not meet the standards of three-good students. I also broke Fang Bo and their heads. Uncle San and the school also told them, and the teacher said that I do not meet the standards of three-good students," said Bang Geng.

"Then where is your grandma's tricycle?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"Of course I had to buy it, but I only bought the three wheels, the handlebars, the beam, the seat and so on. The bed was not sold. My father only paid five dollars and I paid ten dollars," said Banggeng.

"Better than your father. Tomorrow I'll see what's missing. I'll go to the factory and ask a master to make two sets. Do you have anyone you need to visit?" Zhang Dabao asked He Yuzhu, He Yushui, and Zhang Cuihua and her son.

"Seventh Uncle, I want to visit Director Shi," said Jia Dongxu.

"It's time to go. I'll give you some millet and you go and buy five or six pounds of mutton. What about you guys?" Zhang Dabao asked the others.

"Forget it, I don't want to leave. You will definitely go to Aunt Lin's place, and it doesn't matter whether I go to our section chief's place or not," said He Yushui.

"I won't go," Zhang Lianhua also shook her head.

"I'll go to my master. I have something, so I can just bring some wine to my master. If I bring meat, he will have to test my cooking skills," said He Yuzhu.

"Then take two bundles of leeks with you. Green vegetables are still rare at this time. What about you, sister?" Zhang Dabao asked Zhang Cuihua.

"I won't leave. My superior is your superior. I can't reach my cousin, Director Wang, and Director Xu. We just divided our office things into theirs a few days ago. Others don't need them anymore." Zhang Cuihua is now a very clear-headed person.

"That's good. You guys eat. I'm going to visit some friends' homes. Some of them will be empty during the day." After drinking the soup, Zhang Dabao said this to everyone, went to the east wing, got a big bag of leeks, and left the yard.
