Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Zhu Zi, Lianhua, I want to tell you something." After sitting down in the living room, He Daqing called He Yuzhu and his wife over.

"What's the matter, Dad? Are you going back to Baoding again?" He Yuzhu is now a qualified father. He is quite skilled in changing diapers, washing diapers and making milk powder for children.

"I won't go back to Baoding. I want to live outside with Dabao and Yushui," He Daqing said to his son and daughter-in-law.

"Why? If you are not in Baoding, you can go back to No. 95 Courtyard. You have a son, so it is not appropriate for you to follow your daughter and son-in-law," said He Yuzhu.

"Zhu Zi, if I could stay in Yard 95, would I have to go to Baoding alone? I have my reasons. If I stay in Beijing and get noticed by someone with ulterior motives, it would harm our whole family," said He Daqing.

"Is it so serious?" He Yuzhu asked.

"I won't tell you the details. I think it's better for me to go out. You know Dabiao is very busy at work. I don't feel safe leaving Yu Shui alone out there. Besides, I can open a restaurant there. I have skills and can make money. Maybe I can earn more than I can in China," He Daqing said to He Yuzhu.

"But how can one live in one's daughter's home in old age? It's not like you don't have a son?" He Yuzhu was still struggling with this question.

"I will live in my daughter's home in my old age, and I will give all the money I earn in the future to her. I have to make it clear to you two. All the things in Beijing are yours. We will go to the street office tomorrow to complete the formalities. I will not give the small courtyard in Baoding to anyone. I will keep it for myself. It is my retreat. In case I can't make it out there, I will have a place to stay." He Daqing explained everything to He Yuzhu, also to avoid conflicts between his children over material things in the future.

He Yuzhu and He Yushui both said that they did not need his money, but He Daqing had made up his mind. In the afternoon, he called his son He Yuzhu and went to the street office. They transferred all the houses in Yard No. 95 to He Yuzhu's name, including the small room where He Yushui used to live.

Zhang Zaibiao was also very busy today. After breakfast, he and Huang Xinsheng came to the Red Star Steel Mill and talked with Li Huaide. His main purpose was to reassure Li Huaide, because the Red Star Steel Mill is now heavily dependent on foreign trade orders, and Huang Xinsheng is now the main person in charge of Huabang Trading.

"Director Li, don't worry. I am also a member of the factory, and you are my brother's uncle. I can assure you that as long as you are the director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, the orders will not decrease. You have been promoted, and we will listen to your arrangements. If you say to increase, we will increase, and if you say to reduce, we will reduce," said Huang Xinsheng.

"Xinsheng, thank you so much." After hearing Huang Xinsheng's words, Li Huaide stood up excitedly, because Huang Xinsheng's attitude was so good that people could not say anything. He always put himself first in everything, no matter whether he was in the factory or not, even if he went to the Metallurgical Bureau or the ministry, he could still participate in foreign trade orders. This was a big killer for him.

"Uncle, Xinsheng is one of ours, why do you have to worry?" Zhang Dabao also said.

"Da Biao, sometimes the methods cannot be too drastic," Li Huaide said after thinking for a while.

Zhang Dabao nodded but didn't say anything. The two of them rejected Li Huaide's invitation and did not have lunch at the factory because Huang Xinsheng was still anxious to return to Hong Kong.

All underground forces in Hong Kong have now been almost physically eliminated by the Wo Shing Society and the Axe Gang. If you don't join, you will be disbanded. If you join, you will be forced to accept transformation. After a period of time, there are no gang organizations with any names left.

The British and Mao Zedong authorities were very dissatisfied with this because it was extremely detrimental to their rule. Their policy was to use the Chinese to control the Chinese, whether it was the white or black world. Some low-level employees in the white world were Hong Kong people, while some senior officials were all British and Mao Zedong, whether it was government agencies or the police system.

Now that they no longer have the help of gang forces, their influence on the grassroots of Hong Kong is quite limited, so they want to change this situation.

"Brother, the Yingmao gang has found a group of people from Yuehou and borrowed our methods. They are trained by Yingmao soldiers, and their fighting power is different from that of the gang before the outbreak," said Huang Xinsheng.

"How many people are there? How long did they train?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"There are four to five hundred people, all of them are strong and powerful, with a certain military foundation. They have been training for about half a month. It will be very difficult to attack them in the Yingmao military camp," said Huang Xinsheng.

"Let my brothers collect the things first. I will be there in two days. We'll talk about it after I get there," Zhang Dabao said after thinking for a while.

Huang Xinsheng nodded, asked Zhang Dabao to take him to the airport, and returned to Hong Kong with Huang Chengyu and others.

At the wedding yesterday, Wang Xiuqin told Zhang Dabao that she hoped he could bring his wife to visit her home when he had time after they got married. Zhang Dabao nodded and agreed. After all, she was his mother's elder sister and his closest relative, so he told Wang Xiuqin that he would bring He Yushui to her home for dinner tomorrow night.

A little after five in the afternoon, Zhang Dabao and He Yushui came to Qiao Baozhong and Wang Xiuqin's home with gifts. Although Qiao Baozhong had changed his job, his home was still in the Ministry of Trade and had not moved there yet.

"Cousin" Qiao Yongqian came back early today. It seems that the Qiao family attaches great importance to this family dinner.

"Da Biao, sister-in-law, come in quickly." Qiao Yongqian let Zhang Zaibiao and his wife into the house.

"Uncle" Qiao Baozhong also came back early.

"Dabao, Yushui, come and sit down." Qiao Baozhong stood up and motioned for the two to sit down and talk. After a few casual chats, Zhang Dabao was called into the study by Qiao Baozhong.

"Da Biao, I have a mission today. The leaders asked me to tell you that if there are any problems, you cannot take such extreme measures," Qiao Baozhong said after careful consideration.

"Uncle, what are you talking about? I don't quite understand," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"The matter of the Shan family and Xiao Yuanfang was a bit too much. Most people are still innocent," Qiao Baozhong continued.

"Uncle, you are a leading cadre and we are ordinary people. Should we be bullied? What measures should we take? What means do we have to protect ourselves? Tell me," Zhang Dabao asked Qiao Baozhong.

Qiao Baozhong remained silent. He knew that some children and family members of cadres relied on their family power to act lawless. The common people had no place to appeal and were also in danger of being retaliated against.

"Da Biao, those children are innocent," said Qiao Baozhong.

"Don't those children enjoy the superior life brought by their family's power? Why do they have to be cautious before doing things? Why do they have to leave troubles for themselves?" Zhang Dabao asked Qiao Baozhong.
