Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Dongxu, are you feeling sick? Can't you just go brush your teeth?" Zhang Dabao walked over and said to him.

"It's not a tooth problem for my seventh uncle. There's something stuck between his teeth. It looks like a piece of broken bone. I can touch it with my tongue, but I can't get it out. It's so painful," said Jia Dongxu.

"Did you really eat bones this morning?" Zhang Dabao thought of his eldest sister's arrangement last night.

"Seventh uncle, the braised chicken bones are delicious. The small ones break into pieces when you chew them, but the big ones become tasty after you chew them for a while. I ate two steamed buns with the bones," Jia Dongxu said happily to Zhang Dabao.

"You are really promising. Are you a dog? You only eat bones." Zhang Dabao laughed angrily.

"I want to eat meat, but my mother won't let me. Besides, how can I compete with two children and a pregnant woman for meat?" What Jia Dongxu said made sense.

"Dongxu, you are awesome. Here's a toothpick for you." Zhang Dabao didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he went into the house and took out a few toothpicks and gave them to him.

Jia Dongxu picked out the broken bones with a toothpick in a few strokes. "Seventh Uncle, this thing is really useful. I have to go." Jia Dongxu packed up the toothpick, went into the house to check his watch, then pushed his green car and ran away.

Zhang Dabao returned to his room, ate something, and then went out to the steel mill.

The steel rolling mill is now busier than before, and the whole factory feels like it has a faster pace than before. When Zhang Dabao arrived in front of the office, he parked his motorcycle and went into the office building. As soon as he entered the office building, he heard the loud voice of his cousin Zhang Cuihua.

It turned out that the Women's Federation's office was on the first floor, and Zhang Cuihua was mediating a couple's dispute.

"Bai Pengcheng, Chu Ling, I've heard about your affairs for a long time. You quarrel every day and fight every three days. Is this what a couple should do? Have you ever heard of a couple who quarrel and fight every day? Don't you like fighting? I'll give you two a chance to show your skills. Come on, Xiaobai, this is a kitchen knife, take it; Chu Ling, this is another one, pick it up." Zhang Cuihua stuffed the two knives into the hands of the two people standing in front of her.

"Okay, now you guys start. Try to chop more accurately and don't splash too much blood. After one of you dies and the other is sent to be shot, we will have the trouble of cleaning up. Hurry up and don't waste time. Bai Pengcheng, why are you doing it like a woman? Chu Ling, don't you like scratching your face? What harm can it bring to him? Just chop him with a knife and finish him off directly," Zhang Cuihua shouted again.

"Sister Hua..." Bai Pengcheng wanted to say something.

"Sister, what do you mean by sister? Xiaobai, are you a man? Don't you like beating your wife? You beat her every day, she suffers, and you are in pain too. With one cut of the knife, all problems are solved. Isn't that exactly what you want? What are you thinking about? You said yesterday morning that you wanted to beat her to death. I heard it with my own ears. Now do it." Zhang Cuihua pointed her spear at the man.

"Sister Hua, we still have three children..." Bai Pengcheng explained in a low voice.

"You also know that you have three children? Why didn't you think about the children when you two were fighting? People who know that you and Chu Ling are husband and wife, but people who don't think you two are enemies? And it's revenge for the murder of your father. Look at how tense you two are." Zhang Cuihua didn't let the man finish speaking, but interrupted him and continued to scold.

"Sister Hua, we were wrong. We won't fight or quarrel anymore," Chu Ling also spoke.

"No, the knives are ready. Tell me you don't want to fight anymore. If you don't fight anymore, how can we watch the fun? How will your colleagues laugh at you two? You know that the factory is very busy now, and the comrades are all on edge. If you two fight, it will be a good topic for everyone to talk about. Isn't a real fight better than a movie?" Zhang Cuihua mocked the woman.

"Sister Hua, we really won't fight anymore and won't cause trouble for the leaders." Bai Pengcheng also admitted his mistakes repeatedly.

Chapter 286: Changes in Yang Weihua's Position

"I have heard that you two have been married for several years, Xiaobai, let me be fair. You are not good-looking and you are not tall, but it is a blessing for your Bai family to find a beautiful daughter-in-law like Chu Ling. Not only is Chu Ling beautiful, but she also knows how to manage her life and gave birth to two sons and a daughter for you. If you don't cherish her, you should have told me earlier and I would have found her a husband. There are many people who want to take over," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Sister Hua, I know I was wrong. I will never fight with Xiaoling again," said Bai Pengcheng.

"Xiaobai, I remember what you said. You see, Brother Kang, Liu Mei and Qian Ying are all here. You are a man, you can't talk like you fart. You say one thing today and change your mind tomorrow. If I knew you were lying to me, I would never forgive you." Zhang Cuihua softened her tone.

"Sister Hua, don't worry. I won't be angry no matter what Xiaoling says." Bai Pengcheng quickly agreed.

"Xiao Chu, I have to say a few words to you. I said you look good, why are you so rude? If I were Bai Pengcheng, I would have to beat you eight times a day. Wasn't it you who started the trouble that time? You keep nagging every day, are you idle? Listen to what you are saying. Do you want to beat me? Go ahead and hit me, if you don't you're not a man? Is that human language? Who wouldn't mention beating you after hearing that? Besides, don't you know whether he is a man or not? You have already given birth to three children with him? If I don't beat you up, you'd feel uncomfortable, right? If you really want to be beaten, I'll find you a job. Go to our security department and be a sparring partner for the team members. I'll beat you twenty times a day, okay?" Zhang Cuihua said to the woman again.

"Sister Hua, I was wrong, and I will definitely change. I'm not in good health, and how cruelly can the security team members beat people? I can't do this job," Chu Ling said quickly.

"Chu Ling, I believe what you said, but only this time. If I hear you nagging at me again, you can go home and make the decision. Your sister Qian's partner is the head of the personnel department, and it will be easy to transfer him," Zhang Cuihua threatened the woman again.

"Sister Hua, that won't happen again." Chu Ling also got scared. She knew that Zhang Cuihua and her gang had the ability to do so.

"Secretary Wang, let Xiaobai and the other person sign, and you keep it. If they quarrel again, we will do as we said just now," Zhang Cuihua said to Secretary Wang Fang on the side.

"Okay." Wang Fang quickly drafted the document, asked the two to sign it, and then the two walked out of the Women's Federation.

When Bai Pengcheng and Chu Ling came out, they happened to meet Zhang Dabao who was watching the fun at the entrance of the building. They probably didn't know Zhang Dabao, so they just glanced at him and left the office building.

"Don't nag anymore, Zhang Cuihua is really capable," Bai Pengcheng looked back and said to his wife after leaving the building.

"Do you blame me? I said a few words to you and you started to attack me? And you even let them know about it," Chu Ling said in a low voice.

"Someone in our hospital must have reported it to them, that's for sure," Bai Pengcheng whispered to his wife.

"We can't let them watch the fun anymore, let's go." Chu Ling looked back and saw the two people walking farther and farther away.

Zhang Dabao thought that his elder sister had more and more ways to deal with problems, but he didn't expect her to be so terrifying.

"Da Biao, who are you looking for?" A voice brought Zhang Da Biao back to his senses. It was Chief Engineer Wang Cheng.

"Uncle Wang, I have something to discuss with my cousin," Zhang Dabao replied.

"Let's go, he's in the office, I'm looking for him too." Wang Cheng called Zhang Dabao and went upstairs together.

"Old Li, the big bidder is here just in time. We have produced 1,300 tons now, and it will be completed in five days at most. We have to contact the car and ship in advance," said Wang Cheng.

"Director Yang has already made the arrangements. The fleet coordinated by the department will start transporting goods to Tianjin tomorrow. Don't worry," Li Huaide said to Wang Cheng with a smile.

"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Wang Cheng said unhappily.

"It's not that I didn't tell me earlier. It was Lao Yang who just told me this morning. Did I see you? Why did I tell you?" Li Huaide sat on the sofa facing the two of them and poured tea for them.

"Da Biao, is there anything else?" Li Huaide asked.

"Cousin, regarding the office matter you mentioned last time, I thought we need a trustworthy person to do the security work there. It's different from the country, it's quite chaotic there," said Zhang Dabao.

"Who do you plan to transfer over?" Li Huaide asked.

"Huang Xinsheng, my comrade-in-arms. We have participated in many battles together. I trust him. The factory does not need to pay him. The employees' salaries are all self-sufficient," said Zhang Dabao.

"What's the problem? Go back and talk to Huang Xinsheng. As long as he is willing, the factory will handle the procedures for him at any time," Li Huaide said happily.

"I've asked him, and he's willing to go. I'll notify him and take him with me when I go. I may have to assign someone else to answer the phone. Let's go through the formalities together then." Zhang Dabao thought of Wen Li again.

"Okay, Old Wang, did you hear that? Director Mao has left, and the department has started selecting people." Li Huaide agreed and started talking to Wang Cheng.

"I've heard about it too. I heard that Deputy Minister Liu intends to replace Deputy Director Han. But can Deputy Director Han, a political cadre, do these professional tasks?" Wang Cheng said.

"Lao Wang, if the leader says you are capable, then you are capable, even if you are not capable. If the leader says you are not capable, then you are not capable, even if you are capable. How can ordinary people like us decide the employment standards from above? They told us to do a good job, and you have done a good job and achieved results. Have the leaders seen it?" Li Huaide was obviously not very satisfied with Deputy Director Han.

"Deputy Director Han's age is not right. He is already 55. How many more years can he serve? What about Deputy Minister Shi? Doesn't he care?" Wang Cheng also felt a certain resentment.

"Now is the game-playing stage. Do Vice Minister Shi and Vice Minister Liu have the final say? Minister Hou has the final say on matters concerning the Ministry of Machinery Industry. Now should be the stage for leaking information. Maybe a dark horse will emerge. Forget it. Just do your best and leave the rest to fate," said Li Huaide with a sigh.

"Uncle, now that Uncle Yang has gone up, will the higher-ups send someone to roll steel?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Of course it is possible, but can an outsider gain a foothold in the steel mill?" Li Huaide asked Zhang Dabao confidently.

Zhang Dabiao smiled. In fact, the current steel mill team is very united. There is no struggle between the top leader and the second-in-command. This is not common in any department-level unit. The reason is that Yang Weihua is going to be promoted, and the people below are lining up to be promoted. If Yang Weihua cannot be promoted, it will be hard to say.

Before the three of them had finished their cup of tea, several people had already come to Li Huaide to report on their work. Seeing this, Zhang Dabao took his leave.

Chapter 287 Tian Qiming Complains

Zhang Cuihua mediated the marital dispute between Bai Pengcheng and Chu Ling in a short while. After the young couple left the Women's Federation office, Qian Ying and Liu Mei came to Zhang Cuihua, "Sister Hua, you put the knife in their hands at that time, which scared me. What if they really cut us?" Qian Ying asked.

"Are they stupid? Using a knife in an office building? Have they really had enough of living? Look at the knife, it's not a real knife. It's heavy to lift, but the blade is made of hard wood. At most, the machete can draw a little blood. It's impossible to kill someone," Zhang Cuihua said to the two of them with a smile.

"Is it true? You have been prepared for this? Sister Hua, how can you be sure that they won't fight in the office?" Liu Mei asked again.

"Can you do your work without some props? The main reason for their quarrels at home is that Chu Ling likes to nag. She keeps nagging about trivial matters every day. Bai Pengcheng has a good temper. If it were someone with a bad temper, Chu Ling would have been beaten up long ago. But apart from her nagging, she is nice to the elderly, children and her husband. There are no other conflicts between them. We can call them here to mediate, scold them, scare them, and give both of them a way out. Isn't that what will happen? If they really don't want to live anymore, why do they come to our Women's Federation? Can't they just go to the street office to get a divorce?" Zhang Cuihua explained.

"Sister Hua, what you said makes a lot of sense. I'm convinced," said Liu Mei.

"I've seen many couples fighting. There's no deep hatred between them, but just trivial matters. The quarrel becomes more and more intense, and finally they start fighting. In fact, when we look for the reason in the end, we can't find it. If someone had been considerate of each other when they first quarreled, they wouldn't have fought," said Zhang Cuihua.

"It's true, Sister Hua, you are really born to be an official..." Qian Ying and Liu Mei flattered her at the same time, and the Women's Federation office was suddenly filled with laughter.

"Just like a bunch of idiots, what's the point of laughing?" said Tian Qiming from the trade union office next door. He now had a strong hatred towards Zhang Cuihua. Director Huang from the cafeteria approached Tian Qiming and wanted him to help resolve the conflict with Deputy Director of the cafeteria He Yuzhu.

Tian Qiming and He Yuzhu were not familiar with each other, so he found his former subordinate Zhang Cuihua, who was He Yuzhu's aunt, and it would be best for her to come forward. However, Zhang Cuihua directly rejected his kindness and scolded him, which made Tian Qiming so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"Brother Tian, ​​didn't you hear it? Just now when Zhang Cuihua was mediating a conflict for others, she stuffed a knife into the hands of two people. Is this the way to deal with the problem? How do you do it this way?" Zhao Lan said from the side.

"What a shrew! I have to go talk to Director Xu. Do you think Director Xu is afraid of Li Huaide?" Tian Qiming asked Zhao Lan.

"Director Xu is the person that Director Yang trusts the most. Would he be afraid of Li Huaide, a deputy director? Are you kidding? Director Xu is now also a deputy factory-level leader. He is even less afraid of Li Huaide," Zhao Lan added fuel to the fire.

"Then I'll go talk to Director Xu. Zhang Cuihua and her group are too rampant." After hearing what Zhao Lan said, Tian Qiming felt reassured, then left the office and went to the third floor.

"Director Xu, are you busy? I have something to report to you." Tian Qiming came to Xu Sinian's office.

"Old Tian, ​​just tell me if you have something to say." Xu Sinian was writing something. He raised his hand and pointed at the chair, indicating Tian Qiming to sit down and talk.

"Director Xu, you have to take care of this Zhang Cuihua. She relies on her relationship with Li Huaide to act lawless in the factory. Just now in the office, a couple had a conflict and asked her to mediate, but she actually asked them to use a knife. They did it right in the Women's Federation office, and the knife was forced into their hands by Zhang Cuihua," said Tian Qiming.

"Did the two of them use knife skills? Has the conflict been resolved?" Xu Sinian raised his head and asked Tian Qiming.

"It's too late after using the knife. Who will be responsible if something goes wrong? The two of them have reconciled temporarily," said Tian Qiming.

"Of course Zhang Cuihua is responsible for the accident. Wasn't it she who gave the knife to the two people? Old Tian, ​​why don't you read more books when you have nothing to do? Your and Zhao Lan's task now is to read more books, read the works of great men. I recommend a book to you, "On Protracted War". It is a work by a great man. Have you read it?" Xu Sinian said to Tian Qiming.

"I've only heard of it, I haven't seen it yet," Tian Qiming said a little embarrassed.

"Then go and read it. This is the task assigned to you by the organization. Try to finish reading it within a month, and write down your thoughts while reading. Old Tian, ​​let me tell you, this is our ideological weapon to defeat the Japanese. After the old man wrote this book, the Japanese sent people to study it. No matter who studied it, the conclusion reached was that the Japanese would be defeated. Now is a critical period for the development of our factory. Old Tian, ​​you must strengthen your ideological education, go back and read it carefully, write down your thoughts, and hand it to me in a month," said Xu Sinian.

"Director Xu, didn't you just say that Zhao Lan also needed to study? Would you like to assign her some tasks?" Tian Qiming asked.

"Let Zhao Lan study 'On Contradiction' and 'On Practice' for a month, write down your thoughts and hand them to me. Old Tian, ​​you must study hard and don't just fool around. Once you finish your work, the factory leadership will have to read it." Xu Sinian gave Tian Qiming a few more instructions and let him go.

Tian Qiming didn't understand what Xu Sinian meant. I came here to complain, why did you let me study?

"Brother Tian, ​​what did Director Xu say?" Zhao Lan asked him after Tian Qiming returned to the office.

"He told me that I need to strengthen my ideological education and read books to study. He also recommended a book to me, 'On Protracted War', and asked me to write down my thoughts. What do you think Director Xu meant by this?" Tian Qiming asked Zhao Lan.

"What do you mean? Your ideological awareness is low, what else could it mean? You'd better study hard," Zhao Lan said angrily.

"I'm also asking you to bring you a message and ask you to read the two books, 'On Contradiction' and 'On Practice', and write down your thoughts. After you finish writing, all members of the factory leadership team must read them." Tian Qiming's words almost made Zhao Lan vomit blood.

"***" Zhao Lan cursed and sat down in her seat. Xu Sinian is indeed an office director, too mean, asking people to learn and recommending the works of great men, which means that I can't solve problems, can't find contradictions, and can't solve contradictions; handling problems is a big problem, theory and reality are out of touch, lack of practice.

I can't stay in this Red Star Steel Mill anymore. At this moment, Zhao Lan had the idea of ​​leaving. She had come to the steel mill to do a great job, but after coming here, she made three big moves and ended up burning herself. Isn't that infuriating?

Chapter 288: Heart-to-heart talk with Jia Geng

Zhang Dabao left the steel mill and looked at his watch. It was almost noon, so he decided to go home, eat something and take a nap. He would then go back and find out about Deputy Director Han of the Metallurgical Bureau and see if he could get the director to pull him down and promote Yang Weihua.

Xiaodang is now walking more and more steadily. When he saw Zhang Dabao entering the yard from a distance, he ran over, calling "Grandpa, Grandpa" as he ran. He is very likable to watch.

Zhang Dabao was afraid that Xiaodang would fall, so he took two steps forward. He picked up Xiaodang, kissed her on the face, and praised her, saying, "Xiaodang runs so fast." Xiaodang giggled.
