Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Dongxu, are you off work late today?" Yan Bugui was at the door. He saw Jia Dongxu and came over.

"Uncle, this is the time I will get off work from now on," said Jia Dongxu.

"The unit is managing it strictly? That's right. It's difficult for us to leave early now. Dongxu, what do you plan to do about Banggeng, Jiedi, Xiaozheng and others?" Yan Bugui asked.

"What do they want? Aren't they feeding the geese? Let them feed them. Haven't they been told not to do so?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"It's not about the geese. It's about them and the traffickers," Yan Bugui said.

"They were kidnapped by human traffickers. Damn it, I only have one son now. What should I do if he gets kidnapped? What about my mother?" Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu hurried home.

"Mom, where's Banggeng? Is he back?" Jia Dongxu saw his mother sitting at the door of his house in the backyard, holding Huaihua.

"I'm back, feeding the geese. Why did you come back just now?" Zhang Cuihua stood up and put the child in Qin Huairu's arms.

"Are you back? The third uncle said they were kidnapped by human traffickers. I was shocked. He is so old, but his words are too unreliable." Jia Dongxu walked to the cross-yard and took a look. He saw his son, Niu Xiaozheng, and Yan Jiedi feeding the geese. The big geese kept clucking.

"Uncle is a teacher, but he speaks so ungently. Mom, pour me some water. I'm a little thirsty." Jia Dongxu sat where his mother had just sat.

"Are you thirsty? Let me ask you, why did you just come back? You just play around every day and don't care about your child. Can't you educate your child well? Look at what's in his schoolbag, lime powder and chili powder. Jia Dongxu, can't you teach your child a little bit?" Zhang Cuihua asked Jia Dongxu.

"Mom, what you said is boring. I wanted to control Bang Geng, but you wouldn't let me. When did I teach him to carry these things?" Jia Dongxu felt aggrieved because he was telling the truth.

"You are the child's father, and you don't care. You think you are right? People say that if a child is not well disciplined, it is the fault of the father. If you can't discipline the child well, who else should you blame but you?" As Zhang Cuihua spoke, her temper flared up again, and she hit Jia Dongxu hard several times.

"Grandma Jia, these things were not taught to us by Uncle Dongxu. He himself doesn't know them. It was Uncle Zhuzi who told us. You don't know how much Uncle Zhuzi knows. He reads books every day, and the books he reads are very thick." Niu Xiaozheng came out at this time and explained to Zhang Cuihua.

"Shazhu hurt me!" Jia Dongxu shouted loudly.

"You have no respect for your elders. He's your uncle-in-law. Be gentle with him. If you make Huaihua cry, I'll punish you," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Damn it..." At this time, Jia Dongxu thought of an ancient person - Dou E. He felt that he was more wronged than Dou E. Even after discovering that he was wronged, he still continued to threaten. How could he be a middle-level leader in the unit now? Why didn't he have any status at home?

"Dongxu, did you call me just now?" He Yuzhu came over after hearing the voice.

"Why did you teach them to add lime powder and chili powder to the sticks? They thought I taught them, why?" Jia Dongxu grabbed his uncle-in-law.

"What a great self-defense weapon this is. You've heard about its use. Without these two things, can Banggeng, Xiaozheng and Jie Di help the police catch two human traffickers? Dongxu, you have to learn this kind of thing," He Yuzhu said, patting Jia Dongxu on the shoulder.

"Why are there new traffickers? Can anyone tell me about it?" Jia Dongxu was completely confused.

"Brother Dongxu, let me tell you." Yan Jiedi came out and explained it to Jia Dongxu in detail.

"Isn't this a good thing? Why did your grandma beat me?" Jia Dongxu asked Banggeng.

"Who told you not to come back early after get off work?" Bang Geng said.

"I can't come back early. I was just promoted to team leader today. I am a formal manager now. Is it okay for me to leave early every day?" Jia Dongxu said.

"What did you say?" Zhang Cuihua suddenly rode over and grabbed Jia Dongxu.

"Mom, I became the team leader today, a section-level cadre. I'm in charge of more than 20 people. I have to leave work on time from now on, and I can't leave early for a day," said Jia Dongxu.

"Don't lie to me?" Zhang Cuihua said.

"Why would I lie to you? If I become the captain, will you give me a reward? Besides, our unit is so close to here, you can find out by just asking around, and I can't lie to you," said Jia Dongxu.

"Dongxu,... I miss your dad. How come Youfu didn't live to see this day?" Zhang Cuihua hugged her son and burst into tears.

"Mom, why are you crying because I got promoted? Didn't you cry when you were the deputy section chief?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"You're talking nonsense. I was just missing your dad. Dongxu, I'm happier that you've made progress. I'm happier than when I became a section chief. Go, call your aunt over. Banggeng, go next door and call your grandfather and two cousins ​​over. Let's have something delicious. Xiaozheng and Jiedi can also eat here." Zhang Cuihua almost jumped up with joy.

"Mom, are you okay?" Jia Dongxu now simply didn't understand his mother's behavior.

"What's the matter with me? You were able to be promoted thanks to your seventh uncle. If not for him, who would know you? Wait until Da Biao comes back, and we'll treat him to a good meal," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Dongxu, are you really the team leader? Not the kind that manages three temporary workers?" He Yuzhu came to his former friend and now nephew and asked.

"Are you stupid? I'm just a section-level cadre, why would I lie to you? Aren't you also a serious leader? And my mother is a higher official than me. Not to mention my seventh uncle, I will never catch up with him in my entire life," said Jia Dongxu.

"How dare you think you can catch up with Da Biao? He is a county-level official now. If he stays right here and waits for you, you may not be able to catch up with him," He Yuzhu said, looking at Jia Dongxu with contempt.

"You two should hurry up and cook, and stop talking," Zhang Cuihua said happily to the two. She trotted all the way to the middle courtyard, then to the front yard, and then to the street. In more than half an hour, the fact that Jia Dongxu became the captain had overshadowed the story of the three little heroes and became the biggest news in Courtyard No. 95.

"Has the Jia family progressed to such a terrifying level now?" Liu Chuncao, who has always been on par with Zhang Cuihua in Hongxing Street, opened his mouth wide and talked to himself.

"Mom, I'm hungry. Is dinner ready?" Chang Kuan came back from outside and asked for food as soon as he entered the door.

"Fuck you, you don't work properly every day. Is it easy for me to pay you to take your job? Have you worked hard? Now Zhang Cuihua's family's Jia Dongxu has become a section-level cadre, and you are nothing," Liu Chuncao cursed at her son.

"Mom, what's the point of my working hard? I'm just a porter, and our porter team is only a deputy-section-level unit. How can I be the team leader? Brother Dongxu has a good uncle, but do I have an uncle who is a high-ranking official?" Chang Kuan said unhappily.

"How dare you talk back? It was Zhang Cuihua who beat up Jia Dongxu's cadre. I must be stricter with you two brothers in the future," said Liu Chuncao.

"Mom, why is this happening?" Chang Kuan was kicked out of the house by his mother. He looked up to the sky and sighed, "Brother Dongxu has harmed me."
