Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

The sixth day of the first lunar month was the second working day of the new year at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. The nursery was also open today. Zhang Cuihua saw that her sister's belly was so big that it was inconvenient for her to ride a tricycle, so she told Zhang Lianhua to take her to work. He Yu would ride another tricycle to take the child to school, so that Zhang Lianhua wouldn't have to run back and forth.

He Yuzhu and his wife thought that this was indeed more convenient. There were too many people at the entrance of the nursery, and it would be bad if Zhang Lianhua, with her big belly, was squeezed or bumped. So they agreed to Zhang Cuihua's suggestion.

"Sister, can you do it? How about I ride?" When Zhang Cuihua first started riding the bike, she was so crooked that Zhang Lianhua was so scared that she sat on the bike and dared not move.

"It's okay. Da Biao said that people who don't know how to ride a bicycle can learn it very quickly and can do it in one go. But those of you who know how to ride a bicycle can't learn it in a short time. Didn't you try it yesterday afternoon? You couldn't keep the direction," Zhang Cuihua said to her sister.

"Can you slow down? I feel a little carsick," Zhang Lianhua said to her sister.

"Is there anyone who gets carsick when riding in a convertible? But it's better to go slower, so they can all see me riding a tricycle," Zhang Cuihua said happily.

"Sister Hua, what kind of car is this? Why does it have three wheels?" Sister Chen from the workshop found out that her good sister was riding a new car, so of course she had to come over and praise her.

"Old Chen, you don't know this. A vehicle with three wheels is, of course, a tricycle. It's very stable and easy to learn. I learned it for an afternoon and then brought my sister here from home," Zhang Cuihua said to Sister Chen.

"Tricycle? I've never seen one. Is it sold on the market?" Sister Chen asked again.

"Of course not. This was made for us by my uncle Dongxu, who is also my brother Zhang Dabao. It was assembled in the yard using parts processed in the factory. I have one and I have one Lotus. Zhuzi rode the Lotus one to take the kids to school," said Zhang Cuihua.

At this time, Zhang Lianhua was feeling very embarrassed sitting in the car, because there were so many onlookers. Her face was not half as thick as her sister's, so facing this situation, she was somewhat uncomfortable and could only lower her head.

The closer to the factory gate, the more workers and people gathered around. The more people watched, the more people wanted to come in to see what was going on. So Zhang Cuihua explained her tricycle again and again at the factory gate. The key points were: first, this kind of tricycle is not currently sold on the market, and her younger brother made it for her; second, it is very easy to learn, and people without any riding skills can learn it quickly; third, this tricycle is very convenient, and can carry people as well as goods.

Everyone praised her and the smile on Zhang Cuihua's face never faded. Only Zhang Lianhua sat in the car with her head down. She really couldn't stand everyone's pointing and criticizing, so she found a chance to get out of the car at the factory gate and walked to the logistics warehouse.

Zhang Cuihua was a little late when she arrived at the office, but fortunately no one said anything to her. She spent the whole morning talking about her tricycle with her colleagues.

"Sister Hua, during the Chinese New Year, Su Xiaoqin from Workshop 6 had a fight with her mother-in-law. They came to the factory to find the leader, but Director Xu didn't tell us. Should we do anything?" Liu Mei asked Zhang Cuihua as soon as she got to work in the afternoon.

"They fought, it seems the conflict is quite deep. Do you know what the reason is?" Zhang Cuihua asked Liu Mei.

"I know that although Su Xiaoqin has a bad temper, she is a good person and respects her mother-in-law. What about her mother-in-law? She is not a bad person, but she is a bit talkative. She has to talk about everything, not only at home, but also outside.

This time, Shila and Su Xiaoqin had a little conflict and quarreled. Su Xiaoqin happened to have something to do at her parents' home, so she went back. Her mother-in-law didn't know the truth, so she said some unpleasant words, which reached Su Xiaoqin's ears, and the two of them started fighting in the street," said Liu Mei.

"Where is Su Xiaoqin's boyfriend? A fool?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"He's not stupid, just a little too honest. He doesn't like to talk usually. When his mother and wife quarrel, he doesn't know what to say. He just holds his head and sighs," said Liu Mei.

"As soon as I heard it, I knew that Su Xiaoqin's man was such a wretch. Normal sons would mediate the conflicts between the mother-in-law and the daughter-in-law, but this kind of man can't do it, so the conflicts will become deeper and deeper. Are they at work? Lao Kang, let them go home. We'll go meet this family today," said Zhang Cuihua.

Kang Qingquan had been in poor health before the New Year and rested at home for a long time. He went back to work after the New Year. Although he was the brother-in-law of the deputy factory manager, he could not miss work every day.

Kang Qingquan must have heard of these two people. He responded and left the office. After seven or eight minutes, Zhang Cuihua and others also went out.

Liu Mei led the way, and Zhang Cuihua returned to the familiar Hongxing Street. "Who is Su Xiaoqin's mother-in-law? I should know someone with her situation. Is there anyone like her on Hongxing Street that I don't know?" Zhang Cuihua returned to her home turf and laughed.

"I don't know Su Xiaoqin's mother-in-law's name, I only know her last name is Qiao," said Liu Mei.

"The last name is Qiao? Needless to say, it must be Qiao Dazui. I am very familiar with this person. I will scold her first later." Zhang Cuihua thought of a familiar face.

Kang Qingquan, Su Xiaoqin and her boyfriend Li Huanian had returned from the factory. As soon as they entered the compound, they heard Su Xiaoqin's mother-in-law talking about something.

"Qiao Dazui, keep mumbling. What else can you do besides mumbling every day?" Zhang Cuihua started scolding Qiao Li as soon as she saw her.

When Qiao Li heard someone calling her a nickname and scolding her, she stood up and wanted to retort. She looked up and saw that it was Zhang Cuihua. She thought about it and realized that she was no match for her. Besides, she was still a serious cadre, and she had seven or eight years of brothers and nephews around her. She couldn't beat her. The words came to her lips but she held them back and sat back.

"Qiao Dazui, don't I know what kind of person you are? You are not as good as a hen. A hen can lay eggs after crowing for a while, but what can you lay? Look at what you gave birth to? It can't even fart. The Li family's ancestors must be very lucky to marry a daughter-in-law like you. What do you want to do? Let your son be a bachelor?" Zhang Cuihua scolded.

"I..." Qiao Li wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Zhang Cuihua as soon as she opened her mouth.

"I, I, what are you talking about? Everyone in the entire Hongxing Street knows that you are a gossip. They are both workers in the factory. I can handle the divorce procedures for them now, and I will find a good husband for Xiaoqin tomorrow. You and your stupid son should live a good life." Zhang Cuihua continued to scold.

"I won't get a divorce," Li Huanian said, looking up.

"You say you don't want to divorce, so you don't have to divorce? With a nagging mother like yours, we would have divorced long ago. Doesn't your mother have a mouth? Don't you know to say a word to your mother when she is wrong?" Zhang Cuihua directed her criticism at Li Huanian again.
