Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

The flag-raising speech at the Red Star Primary School was lively and vivid. It not only commended the three little heroes, but also raised everyone's safety awareness. Therefore, it spread quickly and had reached the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill by lunch time.

"Sister Hua, are you familiar with a kid named Jia Geng?" Several people from the Women's Federation were sitting together eating lunch, and Sister Chen from the workshop came over.

"Old Chen, Jia Geng is my grandson, how could I not recognize him? Did he beat up another kid at school?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"That's not right, Sister Hua? Isn't your grandson called Banggeng?" asked Sister Chen.

"Old Chen, are you confused? Is there anyone with the surname Bang? Anyway, I haven't heard of it. Banggeng is a nickname and Jiageng is the scientific name. Just like everyone calls me Jia Zhang, but I also have a name. My name is Zhang Cuihua, and this is my scientific name," said Zhang Cuihua.

"I thought so. Your family really gives birth to heroes. Jia Geng is a very successful classmate now. Do you know Niu Xiaozheng?" Sister Chen asked Zhang Cuihua again.

"Niu Xiaozheng is also from our college. He's a good friend of Banggeng. We're together every day. How could I not know him?" Zhang Cuihua is still confused and doesn't understand what Lao Chen wants to say.

"Now there is a story, Niu Xiaozheng was confused and almost kidnapped, and Xiao Jia saved him with a bag of lime. It seems that this story is about your grandson," said Sister Chen.

"What do you mean? You didn't explain it clearly, what should I know?" Zhang Cuihua laughed. She was really confused.

"You haven't heard about it yet? It happened yesterday. A commendation meeting was held this morning. Your Jia Geng, another one from Yan Jiedi, and the confused Niu Xiaozheng were rewarded. They helped the police catch the human traffickers, and they caught a whole gang of them. They deceived Niu Xiaozheng, but Jia Geng saw through them, so he found an opportunity to inform the police and threw lime powder on the bad guys' faces, and the bad guys were caught." Sister Chen simply told the story of Jia Geng and others after processing it herself.

"Sister Hua, how did you raise your grandson? He's so smart," Qian Ying said.

"Yes, you can tell that my grandson's wisdom comes from you. How smart," said Liu Mei.

Several people flattered her, and Zhang Cuihua also forced a smile on her face. She thought that this child was too bold to catch the traffickers. It seemed that she had to teach him a lesson. However, she was reluctant to beat her grandson, so she decided to let her son suffer. "If a son is not taught well, it is the fault of the father." She should beat Jia Dongxu to serve as a warning to the child.

"Huff..." Jia Dongxu was eating at the Red Star Post Office. He had just sat down and hadn't started eating when he sneezed five or six times in a row. "It seems I have caught a cold. How about borrowing my mother's leather vest to wear tomorrow morning?" Jia Dongxu thought to himself.

"Team leader Jia, please come to my office as soon as you get to work this afternoon." Director Shi Chulai also came to the restaurant. After seeing Jia Dongxu, he walked over and said something.

"I understand, Director." Jia Dongxu stood up and answered politely, and watched his leader get his meal and leave the restaurant.

"Brother Jia, what does the director want to see you about?" a colleague asked.

"I didn't ask. I found out as soon as I went to work in the afternoon. The director's expression didn't seem like criticism. He must have some arrangements to make," Jia Dongxu analyzed.

"That makes sense. If you want to curse someone, just do it here. There's no need to go to the director's office. If you curse someone there, how would others know? The person being cursed will definitely not tell anyone," said another colleague.

"Do you think everyone else is the same as you? The director is a college student. Did you know that he went to college? The number of books he has read is larger than the size of a room. How can such a knowledgeable person be as incompetent as you?" Jia Dongxu directly confronted his colleague.

"Yes, the director is a college student and has a high level of ability. He is not like the previous director of the business institute. He likes to scold people. No matter where he is, he will just start scolding without giving people any face," said the colleague just now.

"Director Shang is treated the same way now. He is scolded in the bureau. Anyone who doesn't like him will scold him. Who made him so immoral in the past?" The colleagues started to compare the two directors and finally came to the conclusion that Director Shi was a phoenix in the sky, while the former director Shang Hongqi was not even as good as a chicken.

Of course Shang Hongqi couldn't hear it. If he knew everyone's conclusion about him, he would definitely think of a proverb "A dragon swimming in shallow water is bullied by shrimps, and a fallen phoenix is ​​no better than a chicken."

After lunch, Jia Dongxu took a rest in the mail distribution room. After work, he washed his face and came to the office of Director Shi Chulai.

"Director, I'm here," Jia Dongxu said after knocking on the door and entering.

"Dongxu, sit down. I asked you to come here today to talk to you on behalf of the organization. After the Spring Festival, Captain Zhou of our letter and parcel delivery team was transferred to other units, so the position of captain was temporarily vacant for a few days. Now the organization plans to let you take the position of captain, what do you think?" Director Shi went straight to the point without any probing.

"Director, I will work hard and listen to the leaders. I will do whatever the leaders ask me to do and resolutely complete the tasks assigned by the leaders," Jia Dongxu stood up and said excitedly, stuttering.

"Okay, sit down. Your attitude is very good. What we value most in our work is work attitude. Comrades with bad attitude will not be reused by the organization no matter how capable they are. Morality is the first priority in employing people. Dongxu, I am confident in your character. Hone your skills at work. If you have any questions, just come and ask me directly," said Director Shi Chulai.

"Yes, leader." Jia Dongxu stood up again and saluted.

"Please sit down. Don't leave work early this afternoon. You can't leave early in the future. There is no need for you to deliver the letter in person. Dongxu, you are a cadre now. I will arrange your work. Do you understand?" Shi Chulai was definitely a good leader to Jia Dongxu. He taught Jia Dongxu hand in hand for an entire afternoon.

When it was almost time to get off work, Director Shi brought Jia Dongxu to the post office's large office and announced the appointment in public. Everyone applauded and welcomed Captain Jia to his new post.

"Feeling proud and elated" is how Jia Dongxu feels now. After get off work, he suddenly realized that his mother was excited after she got promoted. Who would have thought that Jia Dongxu, the worst worker at Red Star Steel Mill, would become a cadre one day? Jia Dongxu also thought of his father Jia Youfu and his master Yi Zhonghai who was far away. The days when he was at his father's side came to his mind. He also thought of the time when he was learning from Yi Zhonghai and how everyone laughed at him at Red Star Steel Mill.

Tears fell from his face one by one. Jia Dongxu did not wipe the tears from the corners of his eyes, nor was he in the mood to greet the people around him. He rode his bicycle very fast, and soon, he arrived at the No. 95 compound.
