Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"I know you don't smoke, so I brought you a small radio. I brought cigarettes to smokers." Zhang Dabao took out the gifts from the bag and gave Li Huaide two packs of cigarettes and a small radio, and Wang Cheng a radio; Xu Sinian and Liu Lehe left their gifts in Li Huaide's office.

Zhang Dabao said something to the two of them, then went downstairs with a small bag. He gave a pack of cigarettes to Zhiyong, Niu Kewu, and Hu Kexue, said a few words to everyone, and then returned to the factory director's office.

"Uncle Liu" Liu Le also came. Except for the new chief engineer Yuan Hua, the entire team of the steel rolling mill was present. After exchanging a few words, everyone went to the small canteen together.

"Brother Zhu" Zhang Dabao greeted He Yuzhu, who turned around, smiled and continued with his work.

In the office building, Tian Qiming and Zhao Lan now rely on the new chief engineer Yuan Hua, because when Zhao Lan worked in the department, Yuan Hua was her superior department leader.

"Brother Tian, ​​are the factory directors going to have a meeting?" Zhao Lan saw Li Huaide and others leaving the office building. She saw them from the first floor.

"Why hold a meeting when it's almost time to get off work? What do they mean without Director Yuan?" Tian Qiming said.

"What's the point? Just exclude him. It seems these people have something to hide," said Zhao Lan.

"Should we tell Director Yuan?" Tian Qiming asked Zhao Lan.

"It's better to tell us so that Director Yuan can be prepared in advance," said Zhao Lan.

So Tian Qiming ran out of the office, went to Yuan Hua's office, and explained the situation to him.

"Old Tian, ​​we have a long way to go. Look at what a good factory has been ruined by these people. Is it still the people's factory? Any product with the slightest defect has to be remelted. This is disrespectful to the production results and a waste," said Yuan Hua.

"Old Tian, ​​do you know what they are going to do?" Yuan Hua asked again.

"I went to the canteen and saw Li Huaide's cousin Zhang Dabao among the group of people," said Tian Qiming.

"Going to eat, eating public meals, and doing personal business, isn't this a waste? I understand, I will definitely report this to Minister Wang in the department," said Yuan Hua.

Tian Qiming went out, and Yuan Hua took out a small notebook from the drawer, on which was written "On such-and-such a day and time in such-and-such a year, Li Huaide went to do something, and Wang Cheng went to do something else...." As long as they were members of the factory leadership team, he had a record of them, and he made another entry today.

Zhang Dabao and the factory leaders had a simple meal in the small canteen, discussed matters concerning overseas orders, and provided prospects for the next steps of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

He Yuzhu waited until everyone left and returned to Yard 95 with Zhang Dabao.

At the gate of the courtyard, they saw Liu Haizhong, who was drunk again. He walked with a staggering gait and it seemed that he had drunk quite a lot.

"Is this Liu Haizhong?" Zhang Dabao asked He Yuzhu.

"Isn't it? Liu Haizhong has been going out drinking frequently in recent times. Could it be that he is celebrating the end of summer and the reduction in the smell in the toilet?" He Yuzhu said disdainfully.

"Did someone invite him to dinner, or did he go drinking alone?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"Who knows? No one talks to him now. Not to mention the bad smell on his body, he also has a bad temper and curses at people at every turn," said He Yuzhu.

"Your temper has also increased?" Zhang Dabao felt that something was wrong, so he contacted a crow he had placed at the gate of the yard and asked it to monitor Liu Haizhong to see who he had been dealing with more recently.

"Seventh uncle, you're back. I missed you so much." Banggeng heard the voices of Zhang Dabao and He Yuzhu and ran over from the backyard.

"I'm going to the factory to eat. Banggeng, I feel that you have grown a lot taller. It seems that you really listen to your grandma," said Zhang Dabao, touching Banggeng's fat face.

"I eat well, sleep well, listen to my teacher and my grandma, exercise regularly at school, and work regularly at home. Of course, I grow fast," Banggeng said proudly.

"I didn't notice that you were tall, but I really felt that you were fat. Why do you, a child, eat so much? Do you look good being so fat?" Jia Dongxu said.

Chapter 330 Zhang Cuihua and the New Coat

"Dad, how am I fat? I'm strong, okay?" Banggeng said to Jia Dongxu.

"What do you mean by strong? Your waist is as thick as a bucket and as fat as a pig. It will soon become a ball," Jia Dongxu continued to criticize his son.

"Jia Dongxu, you keep talking nonsense. Can't you see that your seventh uncle is drinking? Can't you speak at your age? If you can't, just shut up," Zhang Cuihua spoke.

"Mom, I'm taking care of the child, but you don't let me. You're spoiling him too much, which is not good," said Jia Dongxu.

"I feel that it would be a shame to give birth to you instead of throwing you into the toilet and drowning you. I've been too good to you and raised you to be nothing. Get out of here," Zhang Cuihua said as she was about to take action.

"Really? Can't you just talk nicely?" Jia Dongxu was a little unhappy and stood outside the door.

"Dongxu, I find that you really don't know how to talk. Can you talk about things related to fat in private?" Zhang Dabao looked at Jia Dongxu who didn't understand why he was being scolded, so he pointed it out to him.

He Yuzhu, He Yushui, and Zhang Lianhua laughed out loud after hearing what Zhang Dabao said, and Qin Huairu also covered her mouth.

"I wasn't talking about her, I was talking about the good joke," Jia Dongxu was still quibbling.

"I can't communicate with Dongxu, so I brought you coats. They are very fashionable when you wear them." Zhang Dabao came into the house and took out coats from the bag for everyone.

The fat, short, black one I bought especially for Zhang Cuihua made her look like a black bear from a distance.

"Does it look good?" Zhang Cuihua asked everyone after putting it on.

"It looks really good, and most importantly, it has a certain temperament. You can tell at first glance that it's worn by officials," said He Yuzhu.

"Not bad," Qin Huairu said.

"It looks very good," Zhang Lianhua also said.

"I don't think it looks good. My mother is too fat. It looks like she is wearing a big bag..." Jia Dongxu said at the door.

"Jia Dongxu..." Zhang Cuihua put down her clothes and chased after him, picking up the broom on the ground as she went out.

"Mom, I'm telling the truth," Jia Dongxu explained.

"I asked you to tell the truth." Zhang Cuihua chased and beat Jia Dongxu, and beat him out of Yard 95.

"Why is Dongxu so bad at speaking?" Zhang Lianhua asked.

"My eldest sister just said that Dongxu was spoiled too much when he was a child. If he had been beaten earlier, he would have become a better person long ago," said Zhang Dabao.

"You guys try, I'll give a few packs of cigarettes to Damao, Guangtian and the others." Zhang Dabao went out, and Lou Xiao'e had already returned to her parents' home. Zhang Dabao gave Xu Damao a pack of foreign cigarettes, one pack to Liu Guangtian's brother, and two packs of snacks to Liu Guangfu.

When they returned home, He Yuzhu, Zhang Lianhua and Jingshu left with their clothes and the snacks that Zhang Dabao had given them. Zhang Cuihua and Qin Huairu also left, but He Yushui was still there.

"Yu Shui, I brought you a women's watch and a radio." Zhang Dabao took out the watch from his arms and put it on He Yu Shui's hand.

"Brother Dabao" He Yushui leaned in Zhang Dabao's arms.

The two of them had been affectionate for less than ten minutes when they heard Jia Dongxu's voice. He Yushui was still a little shy, so she quickly sat up from Zhang Dabao's arms and walked away.

"Seventh Uncle, you have to talk about my mother. She has a very bad temper," Jia Dongxu said as he came into the room and sat down on a chair.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with your temper. Dongxu, can't you think before you speak? Can't you praise people? Your mother is also a woman, what's wrong with coaxing her?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"My mother is not a child anymore, do I need to coax her?" Jia Dongxu didn't understand at all.

"Haven't you heard of the saying 'old child'? The older people get, the more they behave like children. Can you just treat her like a child and coax her?" Zhang Dabao was furious. To be honest, this was the first time he met someone with such low EQ as Jia Dongxu.

"It's no problem to coax children. This is my strong point." Jia Dongxu was happy again.

"Whoever gave you the confidence, who would you try to fool? Can you fool Bang Geng?" Zhang Dabao couldn't help but say something to Jia Dongxu.

"I will coax Xiaodang and give her something to eat. She doesn't cry at all and eats happily," said Jia Dongxu.

Zhang Dabao took a deep breath and told himself to hold back. Jia Dongxu had just been beaten by his mother, and it would not be nice for him, as an uncle, to beat him again. "Do you still want to smoke? Grab a cigarette and leave," Zhang Dabao said.

"Seventh Uncle, you gave me the cigarettes. Can I deliver them to Director Shi?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"What's wrong? Your captain has been transferred?" Zhang Dabao felt a little bit unbelievable about the enterprising spirit shown by Jia Dongxu.

"I haven't left yet. I just burned incense in advance," said Jia Dongxu.

"There's progress. It seems like you've not been in vain as team leader. You're much better than Liu Haizhong." Zhang Dabao smiled and gave Jia Dongxu a whole carton and four packs of loose foreign cigarettes.

It was really too cold that day, and it was not appropriate to take a cold shower, so Zhang Dabao just washed his feet and went to bed.

"Sister-in-law, is this new clothes?" Early in the morning, Yang Ruihua was startled when he saw a black bear walking towards him in the distance. How could there be ferocious beasts in the capital, so he did not shout out. When he got closer, he saw that it was Zhang Cuihua wearing a black coat.

"This is a woolen coat that Da Biao brought back for me from the south. The coat cost more than 100 yuan," Zhang Cuihua said in a low voice.

"More than a hundred? So expensive?" Yang Ruihua was completely stunned. What kind of clothes is this and why does it cost so much? It completely overturned Yang Ruihua's cognition.

"This is woolen cloth, made from the fine hair of sheep. One piece of clothing uses the fine hair of many sheep. It's expensive for a reason. It's very warm to wear. You see, my head is sweating. So I went to the street to buy some buns," said Zhang Cuihua.

Yang Ruihua doesn't want to talk now, she is autistic. What is there to say? We were all poor, but it took you less than a year to get well and you are wearing a coat that costs more than a hundred yuan.

Niu Xiaozheng's mother in the front yard also came out, and several women in the backyard also came over after hearing Yang Ruihua's exclamation. They touched Zhang Cuihua's coat and praised her. Zhang Cuihua was very happy.

Zhang Cuihua wore a coat to work, but Zhang Lianhua didn't. In her words, "I'm just a custodian, why should I wear this? I'm not a cadre. I'll wear it when I need something."

Qin Huairu could wear it, but her belly was too big to button it, so she didn't wear it. He Yushui had to wear work clothes, and Qin Jingru couldn't wear them at home, so only Zhang Cuihua put on the new coat herself.

It was almost nine o'clock when Zhang Dabao got up. He ate something and wanted to go out for a look. Then Xu Sinian from the factory came.

"Da Biao, this is the information of that person." Xu Sinian handed a file bag to Zhang Da Biao.

"Brother Xu, doesn't our factory have a candidate for chief engineer?" Zhang Dabao asked after taking the file bag.

Chapter 331 Another Report Letter

"We can't always be like this. It's not good to break the unspoken rules. After Yuan Hua is removed, another one will be sent from above. But it's okay. It doesn't matter if he doesn't cooperate. We have high standards in production and can completely bypass the technical department and the quality inspection department. Besides, the technical personnel and quality inspection personnel are not trained by him, but brought up by ourselves. Respect him, he is just a chief engineer. Don't respect him, he can only drink water in the office. If another chief engineer comes, we will pay attention," said Xu Sinian.

"I see. Brother Xu, why are you bringing these things? It's not a festival." Zhang Dabao saw the bag that Xu Sinian brought.

"My brother just sent me some specialties from my hometown. You can take a look at it, Dabiao. I have to hurry back as there are too many things to do in the factory right now," said Xu Sinian.

"I have another favor to trouble you. I want to build a greenhouse and I need white plastic sheeting. Please ask where I can find one. A sheet of about 100 meters will be enough. I want to plant some leeks in the winter and make some dumplings during the Spring Festival," said Zhang Dabao.

"It should be no problem. I'll ask someone. If it's available, I'll send someone to deliver it to you directly." Xu Sinian seemed to be really busy. He said a few words and left in a hurry.

Zhang Dabao took a look at the bag he brought. Wow, it was all forest ginseng. This specialty is very popular. Now that the weather is cold, wouldn’t it be nice to make some soup with it?

I put the things in the inner room, put the file bag into the space, took a coat, and some dried fruits and went to the street office.

"Da Biao, why are you on a business trip for such a long time?" Wang Xiuqin asked.

"Aunt, I have to contact the business. This time the factory has an additional order of 12,000 tons, and I am the one who contacted them. I am the chief of the Supply and Marketing Section 2, and I have to play an important role," said Zhang Dabia.

"Don't buy clothes for me all the time. How much do you earn a month?" Wang Xiuqin said.

"More than a hundred yuan a month. I have money. Have you forgotten that I can hunt? When I set out this time, I sold 15 wild boars to the factory. I have money, so don't worry," said Zhang Dabao.

"Even if you have money, you can't spend it like this. You can wear anything. Why buy something so expensive? This one is not cheap, is it?" Wang Xiuqin asked.

"Don't ask how much it costs. I bought it for you. I'm willing to spend any amount of money on it," said Zhang Dabao.

Although Wang Xiuqin said she didn't want to, she was actually very happy to put it on. Coats are something that is always missing in a woman's wardrobe.

After chatting with Wang Xiuqin for more than an hour, Zhang Dabao said goodbye and left. When he had time in the evening, he would go to Yu's, Lei's, and Ji's families to deliver some dried fruits, cigarettes, etc.

Instead of going back to Yard No. 95, I came to Yard No. 10 Chunfeng Hutong. No one had been in the yard for a long time. Half of the yard was covered with fallen leaves, and the room was full of dust. The sandstorm in the capital was so irritating and penetrated every pore.
