Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Seventh uncle, you just came back?" Jia Dongxu went out and saw Zhang Dabao coming out of the door again, thinking of going across the courtyard.

"I'm back to Zhangjia Village. I've visited my ancestral grave. I'm going to the toilet. Please wait for me for a while," Zhang Dabao replied to his nephew and walked towards the courtyard.

"Dongxu, is your seventh uncle back?" Zhang Cuihua and Qin Huairu also came out of the house.

"Mom, my seventh uncle went back to Zhangjia Village. He said he went to visit the ancestral grave. It seemed that he missed my third uncle and third grandmother. I actually miss my dad a little bit too. Things are better at home now, but dad didn't see it," Jia Dongxu said to his mother.

"Why are you mentioning your father? Are you sick? Others have finally forgotten about your father, and now you bring him up again," Zhang Cuihua said to her son unhappily.

"Grandma, what does it have to do with us whether others have forgotten my grandpa or not?" Banggeng was playing in the middle yard. When he heard the noise, he ran over.

"Your grandma was talking about herself. Were you paying attention in class? Didn't you even understand that?" Jia Dongxu glared at his son.

"Dad, why are you talking nonsense? I have very sharp ears. My grandma was talking about someone else. If she was talking about herself, she should use "I", the first person, don't you know? Now our teacher has started to teach short essays, don't I know the meaning of you, me and him?" Banggeng said to his father dissatisfiedly.

Jia Dongxu didn't know how to explain it to the child, but he knew that he couldn't control this sticky joke anymore and he had to beat him. If you say one word, he will have a hundred words waiting for you.

"Banggeng has started writing his composition. Did the teacher tell him what to pay attention to when writing?" Zhang Dabao came back from the cross-campus.

"Seventh uncle, the teacher said that when writing a good essay about a person, you must pay attention to five requirements: time, place, characters, events, and mood. As long as these five requirements are written, the article will be ready," said Bang Geng.

"Really? You are so awesome, come in. Give me a live speech. I feel you are better than Dongxu. How about an apple as a reward if you speak well?" Zhang Dabao asked everyone from the Jia family to come to his living room and said.

"My father knows nothing. He just knows how to argue with me. He gets angry when someone says something to him. He is very much like my second grandfather. The one who was arrested for being a spy. Seventh uncle, can you give me an extra reward? Xiaodang is grown up now, and it doesn't look good for me to eat her alone." Banggeng complained about Jia Dongxu again.

"Bang Geng, you are definitely going to get beaten up," Jia Dongxu stood up.

"You really are a bit like Liu Haizhong. Can't you talk to children nicely? Give three more rewards, one for Huaihua, one for Xiaodang, and one for your grandmother." Zhang Dabao said to Jia Dongxu, and then encouraged Banggeng to write down what happened tonight.

"At 8:30 this evening, our whole family was playing in the backyard of my seventh uncle's house. We ate fruits and talked about tomorrow's wonderful life. Everyone was very happy, except my dad, who was unhappy because he knew nothing." The joke ended the composition.

"It's well written. You stated several requirements very clearly, which basically makes one thing clear. It seems that you are doing well in school," said Zhang Dabao.

"Seventh Uncle, my grades weren't very good before, but I often played with students who were good at studying in our class, so my grades improved quickly," said Bang Geng.

"But their grades have dropped and no one wants to play with you anymore," Jia Dongxu added.

"Get out, you're not even there." Zhang Cuihua was of course unhappy when she heard her son say that about her eldest grandson, so she scolded Jia Dongxu.

After being scolded by his mother, Jia Dongxu stopped talking but still glared at her from time to time.

"Grandma, my dad is glaring at me." Banggeng reported the situation immediately after discovering it, and as a result, Jia Dongxu was beaten out by his mother.

Zhang Dabao took out apples and gave one to everyone. He also asked Xiaodang to take one to his aunt. Everyone played with Zhang Dabao for a while. Banggeng and Xiaodang went to bed with their mother. Zhang Cuihua stayed behind because she wanted to tell her brother about the results of the meeting at home.

"Da Biao, we've discussed it and decided that we must go. Banggeng should finish this semester. That way we can have a beginning and an end. At least one of his parents must go there, so as not to cause you more trouble. He's a little naughty and hard to control," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Actually, Banggeng is very sensible and takes good care of his two younger sisters. You can go anytime. I can't stay at home for long this time. I may have to leave the day after tomorrow, but I may come again in two or three months. If you want to find me, you can ask my cousin to call me directly," Zhang Dabao said to Zhang Cuihua.

"Thank you, Da Biao. Without you, our family wouldn't be where it is today. That bastard Jia Dongxu wouldn't even be able to become a leader. I would be lucky enough to be promoted to a second-level worker. Huairu and I would definitely still be eating idle meals at home," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Why are you saying this? Who made your father Zhang Zhifeng? He's my uncle. We have the same grandfather, shouldn't family members help each other? Try to be a little more restrained at work, the situation in the future may not be too good," Zhang Dabao said to Zhang Cuihua.

"I see. My work is going very smoothly now. The entire family quarters is busy making money. Life at home is better and there are fewer messy things," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Yes, who doesn't want the family to be a little richer? If adults and children are well fed and warmly dressed, life will have hope, and there will naturally be fewer conflicts in the family," said Zhang Dabia with a sigh.

From small to large, from point to surface. This is true for a family, a unit, and a country. There is nothing better than a prosperous country and rich people.

After staying at home for two days, Zhang Dabao set off back to Hong Kong.

Hong Kong's market is now stable, and its exchanges with the mainland are close. The two sides share what they have and what they don't. The mainland's huge market has further stimulated the prosperity of the Hong Kong market.

Although the nominal Hong Kong authorities are extremely dissatisfied, what can they do? The losing party has no say.

No ruler is willing to withdraw from the stage of history, and the British and Maoists are no exception. In the 1960s, the British and Maoists had developed industries and advanced technology. They clung to the big beautiful thigh and made great achievements in the economy, culture and military. So when the news of the failure of Hong Kong's governance was first reported, they did not take it seriously. They just took it for granted that there was something wrong with those officials, so they changed the governor and the commander of the army.

However, the measures they took did not work at all, resulting in Hong Kong having a governor with the shortest term of office. The news of their second failure came back again, and this time it caused an uproar in the British and Mao Zedong high houses.
