Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

After listening to Zhang Dabiao's words, Li Huaide began to ask, "Should Jia Dongxu go to the post office?"

"My sister was scared to death when something happened to Lv Wenming in the factory. My cousin, if Dongxu had not asked for leave, he might have been the one hit by the workpiece that day. He was No. 46 and Lv Wenming was No. 47. Because Dongxu asked for leave, Lv Wenming took the exam first," said Zhang Dabia.

"Dongxu is not cut out to be a fitter. Even if you hadn't told me, I would have wanted to change his job. Now everyone in the factory knows that I am Jia Dongxu's great uncle. I feel a bit pressured to have a grandson who is a first-class worker in seventh grade," Li Huaide said with a smile.

Zhang Dabao also laughed after hearing this. Who doesn't have pressure? Yi Zhonghai has been teaching his disciples for five or six years and has never talked about it.

"Did Lin Hua recruit him or transfer him?" Li Huaide asked Zhang Dabao.

"Aunt Lin didn't say this, is there any difference?" Zhang Dabao asked Li Huaide.

"The gap is too big. If Dongxu recruits workers, the Jia family's work position in the factory will have to be retained. However, no one in his family comes to work anymore. If there is a transfer, the Jia family will lose their work position in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill," said Li Huaide.

"There are still workstations?" Zhang Dabao was surprised. "Uncle, I will ask Aunt Lin tomorrow, if it is possible to recruit workers, we will try our best to do it, and then let my eldest sister come to work, and arrange a job for her that she can do, so that she can retire. She is 47 years old this year, and she will retire in a few more years, and she can still receive some pension. She only has Dongxu as her son, and it is too difficult to expect Jia Dongxu to make more money." Zhang Dabao expressed his thoughts.

"Your elder sister is a talented person. When Lao Yu and I went to your hospital, we saw her arguing with a person named Liu Chuncao. We were both shocked. She must be a professional. She speaks rich language, makes exaggerated movements, and has good expression management. She is definitely a talented person," said Li Huaide and burst into laughter.

Zhang Dabao felt a little embarrassed and laughed a few times along.

"If Zhang Cuihua can come, I will make good arrangements and make the best use of her talents. Don't worry, Da Biao." Li Huaide felt that he laughed more today than in the previous month.

After Zhang Dabao came out of Li Huaide's office, he went to his workstation in the Supply and Marketing Department and sat for a while, chatting with his colleagues. Seeing that it was almost four o'clock, the comrades in the Supply and Marketing Department got up and went home.

When he was almost at Yard 95, Zhang Dabao saw a man riding a bicycle in the distance, zigzagging on the street. It was obvious that the rider was a novice, so he stopped to the side and waited for him to pass by. The man just got off the bicycle and came over.

"Seventh Uncle, I learned it." The bastard Jia Dongxu came over.

"So fast, it seems that except for locksmithing, you can do everything else," Zhang Dabao couldn't help but mock him.

"Is it necessary? I'll go first." Jia Dongxu turned the bike around and rode towards Yard 95.

"Da Biao, Dongxu dropped his bicycle several times," Zhang Cuihua said to herself as soon as she entered the yard.

"Go ahead and drop it. They're all made of iron and can't be broken. But don't hurt Dongxu," Zhang Dabao said, waving his hand.

"Can it compare with a bicycle? A bicycle costs 185 yuan, and you need a ticket. How much can it be worth?" said Zhang Cuihua.

"Sister, Dongxu learns to ride a bike very quickly. It seems he is not stupid," Zhang Dabia said as they walked.

"Who says he is stupid? If he wants to do something, he will learn it quickly. He can learn quickly about stealing, skipping school, playing with fire, catching birds and fishing. But he is not good at studying and learning technology. Isn't it infuriating?" Zhang Cuihua complained about her son as they walked.

"It's a bit infuriating. You two have spoiled him. Who else except you spoils a child like this? Let's not talk about Liu Haizhong, but there is no such person in Teacher Yan, the Niu family, the Zheng family, and the Guo family. When you were in the village, you saw how your family disciplined your brothers. A young tree cannot be left straight without pruning. However, Dongxu is grown up now and it's useless for you to prune it. Let him be happy," Zhang Dabao advised Zhang Cuihua.

Zhang Cuihua didn't say anything and just nodded.

"Oh!" Zhang Dabao and Zhang Cuihua walked to the backyard and heard Jia Dongxu shouting, and then the bicycle clanged. It seemed that Jia Dongxu fell to the ground again.

"Dongxu, can you pass such a high threshold?" Aunt Yang Ruihua asked Jia Dongxu.

"I couldn't stop, so the three aunts helped me and lifted the bicycle off me," said Jia Dongxu.

"It hurts so much." Jia Dongxu crawled out from under the bicycle and jumped. Yang Ruihua and he lifted the bicycle over the threshold. Jia Dongxu did not dare to ride the bicycle in the yard, but pushed it to the backyard.

"Look at you making such a funny face, is your bike broken?" Zhang Cuihua saw Jia Dongxu stop his bike and stand there rubbing his hands here and there, with a very expressive look on his face.

"Mom, I fell and got hurt," Jia Dongxu said dissatisfiedly after hearing what his mother said.

"You deserve it. Your clothes are torn. I really want to beat you to death." Zhang Cuihua got angry again when she saw the two holes on Jia Dongxu's knees.

"Beat me again tomorrow. It hurts too much. I can't bear it any more. Mom, give me one of Xiaodang's meals." Jia Dongxu saw the snacks in his daughter's hand.

"You don't deserve to eat snacks. This is Director Yu's gift to thank your seventh uncle for bringing it. He gave me a pack to use to comfort the child." Zhang Cuihua rejected her son's request.

"Am I not your child? Come and try one." Jia Dongxu's words made sense, but they made Zhang Cuihua very angry.

"I'll let you taste it, I'll let you taste it..." He went up and slapped Jia Dongxu four or five times.

"Sister, stop hitting him. If you get hurt, won't it cost money to go to the hospital for treatment? Besides, what Dongxu said is correct. He is your child, just a little older." Zhang Dabao smiled and advised Zhang Cuihua.

"My seventh uncle is right," Jia Dongxu ran over, took a dessert from the table and put it in his mouth. It was so delicious.

"I found that there are so many things I haven't eaten before. Mom, my seventh uncle bought me some steamed pork buns and roujiamo in the hospital. They are so delicious," Jia Dongxu said to his mother.

"It's a waste whatever you eat. Your seventh uncle lets you eat this and buys you that. What have you bought for him? He is your elder, but you are five years older than Dabiao," Zhang Cuihua asked her son.

"Aren't we in a difficult situation now? Just take the next step. I said I would buy canned food for my seventh uncle first, and then buy him egg cake," said Jia Dongxu.

"I hope you will do what you say. You should have some conscience. Dabiao has done so many things for you. You can't just talk about it, you have to keep it in your heart." Zhang Cuihua felt somewhat relieved when she heard her son's words.

"Of course I can do it. I'm not a liar." Jia Dongxu swallowed the snack and drank a sip of water.

"You're not lying? I don't believe it," He Yuzhu came back early after get off work. Seeing Jia Dongxu and the others at Zhang Dabao's door, he wanted to ask if Jia Dongxu's illness had recovered.

"Shazhu, what do you mean?" Jia Dongxu was angry.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how your recovery is going." He Yuzhu changed the subject.

"Of course I'm fine. Can't you see that I'm full of energy? No, you silly Zhu, don't you bring anything with you when you come to see the patient?" Jia Dongxu discovered the problem.

"You are full of energy, what else do I need to bring?" He Yuzhu's answer left Jia Dongxu speechless. He did not expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually a bad guy hiding among the crowd.

"I won't tease you anymore. Someone was selling old hens in the market today, so I bought one and will make chicken soup for you later," He Yuzhu said as he took out a cloth bag from behind.

"You still have some conscience. It's worth it that I visited you again and again when you were sick." Jia Dongxu was happy to see the old hen.
