Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

At this time, Liang Ladi thought of someone and asked, "Isn't he a section chief? How did he become a director?"

"You've been promoted. Don't you understand such a simple truth? You're really young and promising. You look several years younger than me," said Secretary Wang enviously.

The two of them left the workshop, and Director Wang and a worker pushing a wheelbarrow followed Liang Ladi to her home.

"Liang Ladi, take a look, there are 50 kilograms of corn flour and 100 kilograms of sweet potato flour. These are what your cousin exchanged with the factory for meat. These are two wild rabbits, and a bunch of birds as well. They are all for you. You have to deal with these birds quickly, otherwise they will be wasted," Secretary Wang reminded.

Liang Ladi quickly asked Damao to boil some water. She had to go to the factory director's office immediately and then come back quickly to deal with the bird and rabbit.

"Cousin, why did you bring so many things?" Liang Ladi arrived at the office of Factory Director Liu Feng and saw Zhang Dabao talking to the factory director. She first greeted Factory Director Liu Feng, and then asked Zhang Dabao.

"It was a coincidence. When we got to the mountain, we encountered wolves at dawn and killed a few of them. With the help of Director Liu, we were able to exchange some food from the factory," said Zhang Dabia with a smile.

"Xiao Liang, Director Zhang is your cousin, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Factory Director Liu Feng said pretending to be angry.

"Aren't you the section chief? How come you are the director now?" Liang Ladi asked.

"I have made a contribution and was just promoted half a level to deputy director. If you have any problems in the future, tell Sister Jiao. If she can't solve it, ask Director Liu to call me and someone from the factory will notify me. If it's urgent, ask Yan Jiefang to send me a letter. But I have to go on a business trip in a few days, so I told you in advance," said Zhang Dabao.

"Are you going home for dinner?" Liang Ladi asked.

"I'm not going this time. Director Liu has made arrangements today. How about you come and eat with us?" Zhang Dabao said.

"No, the children are still waiting for me at home, and the bird also needs to be taken care of. Thank you, cousin," said Liang Ladi.

"We are all relatives, so we should help each other," said Zhang Dabao.

Liang Ladi sat for a while and then left. She went home and processed the feathers on the bird, plucked the rabbit's skin, rubbed it with salt and hung it in a cool place.

At noon today, the mother and her friends had a full meal and each ate a few birds.

"That's great! It would be great if we could eat like this every day," Ermao said happily.

"Ermao, it's enough to have a full meal. Who can eat like this every day?" Damao criticized his younger brother.

Hearing what the children said, Liang Ladi felt a pang in her heart. When would this day ever end?

Zhang Dabao, Liu Feng, Jiao Min, and Liu Taiyuan, the logistics chief of the machine repair factory, ate a stewed wild rabbit and wolf meat fried with chili peppers together.

"Director Liu, there is a capable person in the machine repair factory. He processed the wolf meat very well," said Zhang Dabao after taking a bite.

"The chef's cooking skills are good, but it's a pity that the ingredients are too high and not easy to use," said Liu Feng.

"That's such a pity," Zhang Dabao thought of another talented chef, Nan Yi.

After dinner, Zhang Dabao accompanied Factory Director Liu Feng in shooting a few arrows. He then received the money for the wolf meat and put it directly into his pocket without even counting the money. Then he rode his motorcycle back to the city.

Chapter 249 Arriving in Hong Kong

After returning to Yard 95 and resting for a day, Zhang Dabao told everyone that he would be going on a business trip soon.

The next day, someone from the factory office came to find him and asked him to go to the factory with his luggage. Zhang Dabao knew that it was time to leave, so he told Qin Jingru and Banggeng who were at home, and went to the steel rolling mill with the people sent by the factory. He handed the motorcycle to Huang Xinsheng who worked in the security department.

Yang Weihua and Li Huaide didn't know where Zhang Dabao was going. They sent Zhang Dabao to the car that came to pick him up, watched him get on the car, and then left the steel mill.

The car turned several corners and arrived at a large yard. After entering, Zhang Dabao saw two familiar faces, both of whom he had met at the commendation ceremony at the steel rolling mill. One was Shi Guijun, an old friend of Yang Weihua and Li Huaide, and the other was Ma Daohao, the military representative at the time.

"Da Biao, nice to see you again," Shi Guijun greeted.

"Hello, Chief," Zhang Dabao saluted the two of them.

"Da Biao, I want you to go out this time, not just because of your performance on the grassland. There are many people in the army who are not better than you, but there are many who are similar to you. However, you can see their military style at a glance, but you are different. The military aura on you is gone, but the military characteristics in your bones remain, which can help you conceal yourself better. It is never too careful when you are abroad," said Ma Daohao.

Zhang Dabao stood at attention and said nothing.

"Da Biao, this mission requires you to ensure your own safety before considering the mission. Your mother died a long time ago. We have also conducted an investigation and sorted out the heroic deeds of Comrade Wang Xiulan. We have affirmed her achievements in fighting the Japanese invaders, organizing the team, and promoting our ideas. She has now been posthumously recognized as a martyr. But as her only son, we hope that you can live well and re-examine the matter. Your own safety is the most important," Ma Daohao continued.

"Thank you, Chief. I will do my best to complete the task." When Zhang Dabao heard him mention his mother who passed away young, he felt sad and tears flowed down his cheeks.

"Captain Shi, please introduce the mission. Da Biao, please sit down," Ma Daohao finished speaking.

"Dabao, these are the documents. Please look at them here. Remember, you cannot take them with you when you go out." Shi Guijun handed a stack of documents to Zhang Dabao.

Zhang Dabao picked up the information and started reading. The traitor was called Yong Heqi. He used to hold an important position in our organization behind enemy lines. During a mission, he was captured by the Japanese and then betrayed the organization, causing heavy losses to the organization.

After he went to the Japanese, he made many contributions and his status rose rapidly. He also held an important position there. On the eve of the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, he resigned from his military post, went to the Japanese, founded a business, and made a fortune. He moved to Hong Kong the year before last, and the company's main business also moved to Hong Kong, and he became a member of Hong Kong's upper class society.

The British and Mao Zedong authorities protected him very closely, and we lost three good soldiers.

"Is there any reliable information about where he lives or works in Hong Kong?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"He has multiple residences, and no one knows where he lives exactly, but all these places have been found out. He goes to his company every day, but the security is very tight," said Shi Guijun.

"Da Biao, this is the situation at his home, and there are photos inside," said Shi Guijun.

"Captain Shi, can you please send my bow and arrow over?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Okay, we have a contact point. You can stay there first. You can find common weapons there." Shi Guijun took out another piece of paper and handed it to Zhang Dabao.

It took Zhang Dabao a day to finish reading the information, and then he signaled that it was time to set off.

Then he was sent on a train to Guangzhou, took a car to Bao'an County, and was sent to a black ship, becoming a stowaway. One night, he arrived in Hong Kong.

As soon as the people on the boat got ashore, they scattered and ran towards the land of freedom they longed for.

Zhang Dabao was walking along the beach, carrying a small bag, wearing refugee-like clothes and cloth shoes.

This beach is a bit far from the city. After walking for more than half an hour, we finally saw the lights of the city. Zhang Dabiao didn't want to go to the contact point first. The personnel sent from China had problems again and again. It was difficult to guarantee whether the people at this contact point had betrayed him. So it was better to solve things by yourself as much as possible.

As he walked and thought, he finally reached the outskirts of the city. At this moment, four men appeared in front of the road, three of them were shirtless, two of them were holding machetes, and two of them were holding two wooden sticks, and they blocked Zhang Dabao's way.

"Mainland guy, take out the gold in the bag," the man in the shirt shouted. From their actions, one could tell they were veterans. The four of them surrounded Zhang Dabao.

People all know that a poor family can bring rich roads. People from China who come here to live will mostly get rid of their stuff from China and replace it with a gold belt that is easy to carry. Six or seven out of ten people carry it, but the number varies.

"Hurry up, or we will beat you to death first and then look for it ourselves." Seeing that Zhang Dabao didn't say anything, the man in clothes waved the knife in his hand and said to Zhang Dabao.

"Are you robbing me?" Zhang Dabao laughed. Wasn't this God's will? He just happened to come to this place with insufficient funds and his clothes were different from those of the locals. These four people came to rob him. Wasn't this just delivering the goods to his door?

"Hurry up!" the shirtless younger brother also started shouting.

Zhang Dabao took the bag from behind, pulled out an iron rod from the bag and hit the man in the shirt first. After knocking him down, he snatched the knife from his hand. At this time, the other three people reacted and rushed up.

Zhang Dabao was not polite either. He killed them all with his sword.

The top was a little small and a bit tight when worn, but the pants were about the same size. I searched four people's pockets and found only a total of more than 200 Hong Kong dollars.

"Poor guy" Zhang Dabao spat, put away his clothes and bag, and continued walking towards the city.

Looking at the watch, it was already the second half of the night, so he decided to find a place to sleep. As soon as he entered the city, Zhang Dabao found a small hotel and checked in. It cost five yuan a night, which was much more expensive than in China, and the conditions were average, but the good thing was that he could take a shower.

Now that he had a place to stay, Zhang Dabao fell asleep on the shabby bed. When he woke up the next day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning. Zhang Dabao went to the front desk to check out and then left the hotel.

The sun outside was very hot, and this place was quite far from the city center. There was no means of transportation, so he had to walk for more than half an hour to Causeway Bay, where he found a place to eat something. Zhang Dabiao continued to stroll around, and the four big words "HSBC Bank" caught his eye.

Isn't this the British Mao Bank that sucked the blood of the Chinese people? Zhang Dabiao thought of his tight budget again and had a bold idea in his mind.

Chapter 250 Zhao Lan's Third Fire

Zhao Lan, the new section chief of the Women's Federation of the Red Star Steel Mill, did not do well in her first two actions after taking office, which almost made her a laughing stock. After a period of silence, Zhao Lan wanted to do it again, make a contribution, let everyone see her ability, and establish her position in the Women's Federation.

Recently, a female worker named Wang Hong from the health team of the steel rolling mill came to report that her mother-in-law often came to her house to make trouble. The reason was that her mother-in-law wanted to bring her other three grandchildren from the countryside to the city, but she disagreed. As a result, her mother-in-law made her restless and affected the living order in the family compound. Female employee Wang Hong hoped that the factory could help solve the problem.

After receiving the report, Zhao Lan did not act rashly, but did a lot of work. After investigation, it was found that Wang Hong, a female employee, was a temporary worker and did not have an urban hukou. She and her husband had two sons and a daughter. Both she and her children had rural hukou and did not have a quota in the city, which meant that only her husband Zheng Jiechun had a quota.

Since Wang Hong's family was in financial difficulty, the factory took care of her and let her work in the health team, so that she could earn an extra 15 yuan a month. When her mother-in-law in the countryside found out, she insisted on bringing her brother-in-law's three sons to live with her, but they couldn't afford it, so they didn't agree. This pissed off her mother-in-law, so the children didn't come, but her mother-in-law did. After she came, she made trouble every day, crying in the yard at any time, saying that her son and daughter-in-law were unfilial.

The old lady was not from the city, so she just had to go back and inform the village that she could not issue a letter of recommendation. Zhao Lan also contacted Zhengjia Village in Xiangyang Commune, and the village director agreed not to issue a letter of introduction to Zheng Jiechun's mother.

To be on the safe side, Zhao Lan also contacted the security department and sent two people to go with her, so that she would have someone to protect her and she wouldn't be afraid of the old lady knocking her down with her head again.

After completing the preparations, Zhao Lan set off. This time she only brought secretary Wang Fang with her, and did not bring Zhang Cuihua or the others.

When she arrived at the family compound, Zhao Lan saw an old lady sitting on the ground crying and complaining to the onlookers about how unfilial her son and daughter-in-law were.

"Mrs. Zheng, please stop making trouble. We have already investigated clearly. Zheng Jiechun and his wife are very filial. It is not like what you say. You make trouble every day like this and seriously affect the living order in the steel mill's family compound. Please leave now," Zhao Lan said with reason and evidence.

"This is my son's home, why should I leave?" Old Mrs. Zheng was not a pushover either, and asked Zhao Lan in return.

"Your household registration is not here, but in Zhengjia Village, Xiangyang Commune. Did you get permission from the village to come here?" Zhao Lan asked again.

"Why can Wang Hong stay here? Her household registration is also in the village," said the old lady of the Zheng family.

"If you say so, I can send Wang Hong and her three children back together," said Zhao Lan.

"I don't want to live anymore. I can't live anymore. The steel mill is killing me." When Mrs. Zheng saw that she couldn't convince Zhao Lan, she started to throw a tantrum, but Zhao Lan remained indifferent.

Zheng Jiechun's mother saw that if this continued, not only would the problems of the other three grandchildren not be resolved, but she might also be sent back. How could she accept this? So she hardened her heart and banged her head against the door. After a "bang", the old lady of the Zheng family fell to the ground with blood all over her head.

"Someone's dead!" the manager of the hospital shouted, and arranged for someone to go to the unit to inform Zheng Jiechun, and then sent the old lady of the Zheng family to the hospital.

Old Mrs. Zheng went to the hospital, and Zhao Lan could no longer do her job, so she returned to the factory in a dejected mood. As soon as she arrived at the office, Zhao Lan was called to the office of Director Yang, where she was scolded by Yang Weihua and Li Huaide. In the end, they said to Zhao Lan, "You are not capable of accomplishing anything, but are always causing trouble." That afternoon, Zhao Lan was transferred to the trade union office, where she sat opposite Director Tian Qiming. She was still the section chief, but was no longer in charge of any affairs.

"This Zhao Lan, I think she is far inferior to Zhang Cuihua. And she is from the ministry? What the hell?" Yang Weihua cursed.

"It's arranged by the leaders, what can we do? People like her have been working in government agencies for a long time and have no idea about the specific situation below. The way and method of handling problems are too dogmatic and easily out of touch with the actual situation," Li Huaide advised Yang Weihua.

"This kind of thing should be handled by Zhang Cuihua and others. They handled the previous cases so well. Didn't the workers applaud? Now the phenomenon of factory employees and their families favoring boys over girls and beating wives has been fundamentally changed. Look at Zhao Lan. She went to deal with a problem, but first she was beaten up, and then she forced the person to bang his head against the wall, and she had no way to deal with it." Yang Weihua was still angry.

"Director, has the union chairman been decided?" Li Huaide suddenly asked.

"Do you have a suitable candidate?" Yang Weihua asked.

"Yes, Xu Sinian from the office is quite suitable. He is good at speaking and working, and he is still young. The key is that he is a cadre trained by ourselves," recommended Li Huaide.

Xu Sinian is Yang Weihua's confidant. Of course, an office director cannot do his job unless he is the confidant of the top boss. Five years of experience as an office director has turned Xu Sinian into a slick man. He is very careful in what he says and does things. He can hear but not see, and cannot speak. He can hear all the news in the factory and select the most useful ones to report to the factory director. He cannot see anything the factory director does, and will forget anything he has done immediately afterwards. You cannot find out the slightest news about the factory from him, and he can chat with you for a whole morning with a smile on his face. But this is not something that ordinary people can do.

"Sinian is fine, but the deputy factory-level personnel authority is not in our unit!" Yang Weihua said with embarrassment.

"But we are the ones who are hiring. We will report Si Nian as a candidate, and the factory will adjust the division of labor on its own and let Director Xu be in charge of several departments to give him some training first. Even if the higher-ups don't promote him now, he will be promoted sooner or later. No matter which unit he is in, the office director is the first candidate for the deputy position," Li Huaide gave another suggestion.

"Let me think about it, Huaide. Which department is suitable for Si Nian to be in charge of? The office is quite busy right now." Yang Weihua listened to Li Huaide's suggestion.

"The Youth League Committee, the Trade Union, and the Women's Federation are all divisions of labor within the organization. He will definitely join the team in the future. Once the announcement is made from above, the Logistics Department and the Propaganda Section will be given to him. He will be busy enough, but you may have to find someone new for the office by then." Li Huaide seemed to have had this idea long ago and expressed his suggestions.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. Let's unify our thoughts later and report to the Metallurgical Bureau in the name of the steel rolling mill team. As for the Zheng family matter, let Zhang Cuihua handle it. When they come back, I will talk to Si Nian and let Zhang Cuihua be the executive first. These people will listen to her, so let her take the lead," said Yang Weihua.

"Okay, Director." Li Huaide went out and asked Xu Sinian to notify other deputy directors to attend a meeting. He also found Zhang Cuihua.

"Cuihua, Zhao Lan didn't handle the matter well today and brought shame to the factory. The factory director was very unhappy and transferred her to the trade union. What I mean is that you should handle this matter in a few days and make sure you handle it well. You may make progress," Li Huaide said to Zhang Cuihua.
