Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

He Daqing agreed to go to Hong Kong to live together. Zhang Dabao and He Yushui were very happy. The three of them came to where the He family lived. The yard was full of fallen leaves, and they couldn't step into the house. Dirty clothes were thrown everywhere. The key point was that there was hair growing in the rice bowls because they didn't wash the dishes after eating.

"Dad, how are you doing?" He Yushui was speechless when she saw this situation. He Daqing's slovenliness directly overturned her cognition.

"I've got to make do with living alone. No one comes here anyway, and I don't come here often. I usually live in the factory," said He Daqing.

"You're really good." He Yushui rolled his eyes at his father, rolled up his sleeves and started to clean up. Zhang Dabao went to the kitchen to boil a large pot of water, and added caustic soda to the boiling water to clean He Daqing's clothes. It was such a tough job. There were still some oil stains on the clothes that had not been removed. There was only one result for such clothes, which was that He Yushui had to throw them away directly.

Zhang Dabao and He Yushui worked here for half an afternoon, while He Daqing went out to buy vegetables and cook for the two children.

At seven o'clock in the evening, He Daqing's old clothes, dirty sheets and other things were washed and hung on the rope in the yard; all the garbage in the house was also cleared out, and Zhang Dabao and He Yushui cleaned the house inside and out, making it look much better.

"You can't live your own life well and you have no common sense. And you are a chef, it's too shameful." He Yushui kept talking about her father during dinner. He Daqing didn't get angry. He looked at his daughter with a smile and a doting look on his face.

"I won't talk to you anymore. You should be careful. Tomorrow, everything here should be dealt with. We won't be able to come back for a while. If the work station is not working, just sell it. If the house has a certificate, keep it. If it doesn't have a certificate, move it out," He Yushui said to his father.

"I'll keep the house. It's my base," said He Daqing.

Zhang Dabao did not comment. It seemed that He Daqing should have saved some money and should have some confidence. In fact, it would be a good idea to keep the house. He could then leave a letter at the street office and give them his address in Beijing so that they could contact him if anything happened or if there was any demolition.

"It's better to keep the house as it can appreciate in value. When my father-in-law left, he left our address in Beijing. It belongs to Brother Zhuzi. He is your son and has the right to dispose of your things," Zhang Dabao said to He Daqing.

"The pillars cannot be disposed of. If someone wants to collect the money, they have to keep it for me. I will use it for my retirement. I will live in your house for my retirement, so this money must be given to you." He Daqing could still distinguish between inside and outside.

"We don't lack this," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"Whether there is a shortage or not is your business, but whether to give it to me or not is my business." He Daqing was very sensible, and Zhang Dabao didn't say anything else.

After dinner, the two went to the next room to rest. Now that they had obtained their marriage certificate, they were a legal couple and their living together was protected by national laws, so they spent a pleasant night here.

The next day, Zhang Dabao and He Yushui accompanied He Daqing in Baoding for a day. They bought him two new sets of clothes and some leather shoes. He Daqing was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.

After staying here for another day, He Daqing should have gone to work after breakfast. Zhang Dabao and He Yushui sent him to the unit, and then they returned to Beijing.

"Old He, your daughter and son-in-law are here to see you. Look at how you are dressed, the same as the factory director. Your leather shoes are even shinier than the factory director's." The guard watched He Daqing watching the car leave, still looking in the direction the car was going, and said a few words to him.

"Brother Liu, my daughter is going to have a wedding, and the two have already obtained the marriage certificate," said He Daqing.

"Isn't this a good thing? Now that your son and daughter have started their own families, you can rest assured," said the security guard, Old Liu.

"But my daughter and son-in-law want me to go and live with them." He Daqing was happy, but he was still somewhat sad to leave here. After all, this was the place where he had worked and lived for many years.

"Live at my daughter's house? Her parents-in-law are gone?" asked Old Liu.

"My in-laws' mother is a martyr. She died when the child was three years old. His father has been gone for seven or eight years. I told them that I had a son and I would not go to their house, and they were not happy." He Daqing seemed to be showing off.

"You are so lucky. Your son and daughter are both cadres, your daughter-in-law is a worker, and your son-in-law is even a county-level leader. They are much better than our children. By the way, when do you plan to go? What about your work?" asked Old Liu.

"You won't be coming back after the wedding. You'll stay in Beijing and transfer your job. If you find a suitable one, tell me. If you have relatives in your family, the price can be 20% lower than the market price. After all, we are friends." He Daqing knew that Lao Liu had three sons and two daughters. The second and third sons in particular were both of marriageable age, but none of them had a formal job and could not find a good wife.

"Old He, my son is in need of a job, so please keep this position for me. After get off work tonight, I will discuss with my children to see which of the two children is willing to work in the canteen." Old Liu became interested. It was really a piece of cake. He got good news from He Daqing.

He Daqing, dressed in formal attire, came to the cafeteria, which shocked Director Huang. "Old He, are you sick?"

"Director, you are the one who said this. I am not sick. What is wrong with me?" He Daqing smiled.

"Why are you dressing like this? Are you going to get married again?" Director Huang asked.

"No, my daughter bought it for me. She's getting married, and she came to see me with her son-in-law. She complained that I was dressed shabbily," said He Daqing.

"You scared me. You didn't tell me your daughter was coming. I thought you became the factory director. But Lao He, your daughter is right. Your clothes are too dirty. Can't you wash them yourself? Your old clothes can stand on their own," said Director Huang.

"Director, my daughter wants to take me to live with her after she gets married, so I may not be able to continue working here. You also know that the child has been without a mother since she was young, and it has caused great harm to her when Xiaobai and I came here to live. Now she wants me to live with her, and I can't refuse," He Daqing said to Director Huang.

"Go if you want to. You are almost fifty years old. It's not good for you to be away from your two children. You don't like cleanliness, and it's not good for you to be alone in a foreign place," Director Huang said after thinking for a while.

"Thank you for understanding me. I'll treat you to a drink after I've settled the matter," He Daqing said to Director Huang.

"Why are you thanking me? We've been working together for two days. Who doesn't know who? Old He, you should be cleaner at the child's home and don't dress too casually. After all, your son-in-law is a senior official and you have to give him face." Director Huang advised He Daqing a few more words out of good intentions.

He Daqing nodded and said he would pay attention to it.

He Daqing returned to his small room, changed out of his clean clothes and put on his patinated work clothes again. He became busy again. He had to work well for the day and not cause trouble for his leader. He also had to leave in a good manner and not let others say that he was not good in this or that way.
