Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Zhang Dabao chatted with Cao Lianbiao for more than an hour at the Hongxing Police Station and had a pretty good understanding of Xiao Yuanfang's situation. His father was the minister in charge of transportation. Xiao Yuanfang's mother was nearly 20 years younger than his father and worked in the municipal government. His uncle was the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau.

Since Xiao Yuanfang's brothers and sisters were born to Minister Xiao's ex-wife, and they are all older and have gone to work in other places, there is only this son born to his young wife at home, so he is spoiled a little.

Zhang Dabao knew that this was not pampering. It was probably because the child's mother doted on her child too much, or because the family members of high-ranking leaders did not understand the most basic principles. Everyone knows the principle that spoiling a child is like killing him, but some people pretend not to know it, always thinking that the child is still young and will be sensible when he grows up.

He doesn't know shit. He has had a distorted outlook since childhood. He will only be more harmful to society when he grows up. He runs a black market and openly molests women. If he were a child from an ordinary family, he would have been shot long ago.

After saying goodbye to Cao Lianbiao and returning to Compound No. 95, Zhang Dabao's tricycle was filled with more than ten pounds of pork belly, a bundle of green onions and a large bucket of cooking oil.

The gate of No. 95 Courtyard was so quiet that Zhang Dabao felt a little uncomfortable. He returned to the backyard with his salary. Zhang Dabao cut and chopped the meat, Qin Huairu cut onions, and Qin Jingru peeled and cut eggplants.

After chopping the meat, they started to prepare the stuffing. Chun Huairu and Qin Jingru put the stuffing into two eggplants and placed them in the batter, while Zhang Dabao started to fry them in a frying pan.

"Grandpa, I want to eat." Xiaodang sat in front of the pot and refused to move. Some of the pork and green onion fillings fell from the batter into the oil pan. When fried in oil, the smell emitted was simply overbearing.

"It will be cooked soon, but you can only eat one at most because it is too oily. If you eat too much, you will have diarrhea," Zhang Dabao said to Xiaodang.

"I'll eat a big one," Xiaodang nodded repeatedly.

"The first pot is cooked. Huairu, go get the plate," Zhang Dabao turned and said to Qin Huairu.

Qin Huairu took out a dozen plates from the kitchen, and filled two plates with the first pot.

"Huai Ru, it seems that I don't have enough plates here. You can go home and bring the plates from your home later," said Zhang Dabao.

"Okay, Uncle Seventh." Qin Huairu pressed the eggplant box filled with stuffing into the batter, allowing the entire batter to wrap up the entire eggplant box.

The second pot of eggplant boxes was not cooked yet, and Banggeng ran into the yard first. "What delicious food is this? It smells so good," Banggeng asked his mother after seeing the eggplant boxes on the plate.

"This is an eggplant box. Haven't you ever eaten it?" Qin Huairu asked.

"I've eaten eggplants before, both stewed and fried, but I've never eaten eggplant in boxes." He said as he picked up one to eat. At this time, he heard some noise from the frying pan. He turned around and saw that it was Zhang Dabao who came back.

"Seventh Uncle, you're back. I missed you so much." Banggeng ran over.

"Do you miss me or the delicious food I brought?" Zhang Dabao touched Banggeng's head.

"It's mainly because I miss you. You don't know, my father wanted to beat me a few days ago. Fortunately, my grandma stopped him. He stood up and raised his hand to slap me," said Bang Geng.

"Jia Dongxu has rebelled, and he dares to beat you. Wait until he comes back and you'll see what I say about him. But why did he beat you?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"I didn't do well in the exam, but I did better than Xiaojie," said Banggeng.

"You did better than Xiaozheng in the exam. Are you proud of that? Wasn't Xiaozheng ranked last in that exam?" Qin Huairu spoke from the side.

"But I also did what my father told me. I played with the top one or two students in the class every day. As a result, my grades didn't improve, while theirs regressed. Now they don't want to play with me anymore," said Banggeng.

"Good boy, you are really a talented person." Zhang Dabao laughed, Qin Jingru on the side also laughed, and Qin Huairu laughed out of anger.

"Seventh uncle, are you going to talk about my father?" Banggeng asked hopefully.

"Of course I'm talking about him, but you also have to study hard. Jie Di has good grades, and Yu Shui is also a serious high school student. When you have time, let them give you extra lessons," said Zhang Dabao.

"Banggeng..." Yan Jiedi and Niu Xiaozheng had already arrived and asked Banggeng to go over and ask the goose.

"Jie Di, Xiao Zheng, come here and eat something before you go." Zhang Dabao appeared from the kitchen and called the two over.

"Brother Dabiao" and "Uncle Dabiao" ran over. They were particularly friendly when they saw Zhang Dabiao.

The three older children each ate two eggplant boxes and went to the cross-yard, while Zhang Dabao continued to work. The children came back from school, and those who were off work were about to return. As time passed, the yard became lively.

He Yuzhu and Zhang Lianhua came with their children because they saw that the motorcycle at the gate of the courtyard had changed. He Yushui also came directly after get off work, and then Captain Jia Dongxu also came.

"Captain Jia, are you off work so late now?" Zhang Dabao asked his eldest nephew when he saw him.

"Seventh uncle, please don't laugh at me. I can't even mention the title of cadre," Jia Dongxu said with a smile.

"Why can't we mention it? This is a serious section-level cadre. Captain Jia, please hurry up and cook a few dishes. Don't you see that your uncle-in-law is busy there?" Zhang Dabao said.

"Okay." Jia Dongxu changed his clothes and went into the kitchen.

"What's going on? Why did you make so many delicious foods?" Zhang Cuihua came back late today. Now, family members come to the Women's Federation to find her every day, saying that their families are in difficulties and they need to go for training in advance and take on more embroidery work. Zhang Cuihua and her colleagues are very busy.

"Mom, my seventh uncle is back," Jia Dongxu said as he came out of the kitchen.

"Da Biao is back? I wonder if there are enough bowls and chopsticks?" Zhang Cuihua asked.

"That's enough, Banggeng, go to the next yard and call your grandfather and two cousins. We'll eat together. Jie Di and Xiao Zheng can stay as well." Zhang Dabao shouted when he saw Banggeng and the other two coming out after feeding the geese.

"Okay." Bang Geng ran to the next yard after hearing the arrangement, and Yan Jiedi and Niu Xiaozheng came to the kitchen to help.

After a while, Zhang Dazheng, Zhang Shouying and Zhang Shoucheng came and greeted Zhang Dabao shyly when they saw him.

They sat at two tables in the evening and drank two glasses of wine before Xu Damao returned home. As soon as he got home, he asked Zhang Dabao to pull him over.

"Brother Damao, what's wrong? Why are you so tired?" Zhang Dabao asked Xu Damao, who was exhausted.

"Da Biao, there are too many things to do at the embroidery factory. I'm busy from the moment I get off work in the morning until I get off work. I don't have any free time at all. When I get home, I just want to sleep after eating something. I haven't seen the children for several days," Xu Damao said helplessly.

"Has the factory set up a special unit for embroidery?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Isn't it? Mainly because there are too many family members and even more people who want to work. I estimate I will have to be busy for ten days or half a month. It will be better once the situation is sorted out," Zhang Cuihua explained.
