Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Old Yi, let's not mess with Zhang Dabao. He wanted to kill you just now. If Dongxu hadn't pushed you, I'm not sure what would have happened. He doesn't care about the severity of his attacks. We can't afford to mess with him," Liu Cuiping advised Yi Zhonghai.

"Oh," Yi Zhonghai sighed without saying anything. He felt a little regretful in his heart that he had done something wrong with Zhang Dabao. This Zhang Dabao did not play by the rules. He would beat people at every turn, and his style of beating was lethal. Who could stand this?

"You all saw how ferocious Zhang Dabao was. Don't mess with him. I told you a long time ago that his attacks could be fatal. If Jia Dongxu hadn't pushed Lao Yi, Lao Yi would have been finished," Yan Bugui said when he returned home and held a meeting with his children.

"Dad, no one dares to mess with him. We are still hoping to help him with some work and improve our lives," said Yan Jiefang.

"Yes, why is the weather not warm yet? I want to help his family turn the soil now," said Yan Jiedi.

"Jiecheng, Jiefang, why didn't you two learn from Guangtian and Guangfu? Look, they are mixing wine and meat together," Yan Bugui said to his two eldest sons.

"How dare we? There are so many of them and they are all very strong," said Yan Jiecheng.

"Do they think they can compete with Zhang Dabao? This is all experience. If there is any problem in his family in the future, remember to be the first to rush forward," Yan Bugui said to his sons hatefully.

"I understand." The Yan brothers also felt a little regretful.

Zhang Dabao and Zhang Lianhua came back and explained what happened at the police station. They took out the doctor's certificate. Zhang Weihua took a photo as evidence, then let the two go back and sent them out.

"Da Biao, the guy who was beaten by Ma Zha today died, and four people were disabled. They were wrong in what happened today, but their crime does not deserve the death penalty. I have also been a soldier, and I know your situation. You should be more careful when you take action next time. It's not good to always kill or disable people," Zhang Weihua instructed him after coming out.

"Thank you, Uncle Zhang. I couldn't control myself today. They touched my bottom line," Zhang Dabao explained.

"Think twice before you act in the future, and come visit me at my home when you have time," Zhang Weihua said politely.

"I will definitely go, Uncle Zhang. I'll go back first." Zhang Dabao and his second sister returned to Yard 95.

Before they returned to the yard, the news that Zhang Dabao fought eight people alone and left one enemy dead and four disabled had already spread back to Yard 95. Zhang Cuihua brought back the news while she went home to get the soles of her shoes, which scared Xu Damao so much that he almost peed himself again.

Chapter 45 Crow

The aroma of meat filled the air at Zhang Dabao's house. He Yuzhu's cooking skills were really good. In an hour, two tables of dishes were ready. Zhang Dabao, Huang Xinsheng, Jia Dongxu, Xu Damao, Liu Guangtian, Liu Guangfu and He Yuzhu sat at one table. There were eight dishes and one soup, including fish, meat, eggs and peanuts. The wine was Fenjiu. Even someone like Xu Damao who often eats out felt that the meal was particularly sumptuous. He felt that Zhang Dabao was an open-minded person with a clear distinction between love and hate. As long as he was not provoked, nothing would happen. But if he was provoked, the consequences would be hard to predict. So he made up his mind to make good friends with this person.

The three young people who like to drink the most in Yard 95 are Jia Dongxu, He Yuzui and Xu Damao. Jia Dongxu likes to drink but not much; Xu Damao likes to drink, he is fierce at the beginning, he can drink two cups in a row, but he is weak in the second half; He Yuzhu can tolerate drinking and can drink, neither Jia Dongxu nor Xu Damao can match him. After two cups, since everyone is united in drinking today, the atmosphere becomes lively.

Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Lianhua, He Yushui, Bang Geng and Qin Huairu, who were at another table, had already eaten their fill.

"Lotus, how did Aunt Jiu know that you live here?" Zhang Cuihua still couldn't figure it out.

"Someone told her, but I don't know who it was. After this incident, she doesn't dare to bother me anymore." Zhang Lianhua still feels a little scared. If her brother doesn't come back, the consequences are hard to say.

"Of course she doesn't dare. She's been beaten by Da Biao once, so why doesn't she learn her lesson?" Zhang Cuihua said indignantly.

"Grandma, what kind of bird is in my seventh uncle's cage?" Banggeng saw the cage that Zhang Dabao brought back.

"Your seventh uncle has been deceived. This is a crow, not a good bird," said Zhang Cuihua, looking at the cage.

"Crow? Is it delicious?" He Yuzhu once roasted sparrows with Banggeng, and he remembered that roasted birds tasted good.

"No one eats this. This bird is unlucky. Put it down quickly. I'll tell him after they finish eating," Zhang Cuihua said to the crow with a look of disgust.

"Sister, you guys go back. Xiaodang is sleepy. Huairu has to go to work tomorrow morning, and Banggeng has to go to school. I'm fine." Zhang Lianhua looked at the alarm clock. It was almost nine o'clock. The men in the north room were drinking vigorously. It seemed that they would not be able to finish drinking for a while, so she asked Zhang Cuihua and Qin Huairu to take the children back first.

Zhang Cuihua was also sleepy, so she did not refuse. She asked her sister to go to the north room later and ask Dongxu to drink less, and then went home to sleep.

As expected, Jia Dongxu got drunk again, Xu Damao was also drunk, He Yuzhu began to stagger when walking, Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu drank less, so there was no problem. Zhang Dabao and Huang Xinsheng sent them back, and Zhang Dabao remembered his bird.

"Second sister, take out my birdcage," Zhang Dabao said at the door when he saw that the light in Zhang Lianhua's room was still on.

"Da Biao, this is a crow, did you know it?" Zhang Lianhua brought out the birdcage containing the crow.

"I know, crows are very smart. You should go to bed early." Zhang Dabao was very happy to see the crow.

Crows are probably one of the smartest birds. After one night of training, the two crows have established a preliminary connection with Zhang Dabao and can understand his instructions.

Taking advantage of the night, Zhang Dabao released two crows, one to monitor Yi Zhonghai and the other to monitor the deaf old lady. Zhang Dabao's intuition told him that what happened yesterday was related to these two people.

In fact, there was no need for evidence. For a monk, suspicion was enough. However, living in the same courtyard, if something happened to the two of them, it would be easy for people to suspect him. Only then did Zhang Dabao suppress his anger.

The sun rose as usual, and on Monday morning, people who went to work or school all got up early. Today, Yi Zhonghai was still the same as usual, with Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu. Because Zhang Dabiao knocked out four teeth yesterday, half of his face was swollen.

"Master, can't you take a break for a day or two? You won't be able to eat lunch." Jia Dongxu felt a little sorry for his master.

"The tasks these days are heavy. There are several jobs that require an eighth-level worker to do. It would be inappropriate for me not to go. And Dongxu, you need to practice more. You haven't laid a solid foundation in these years," Yi Zhonghai said, covering his mouth.

"Okay, Zhuzi, you can make some drinks for the master in advance at noon. I still have five yuan. Can you help me make soft meals for a few days?" It must be said that Jia Dongxu is good to Yi Zhonghai and is quite loyal. "Brother Dongxu, did Aunt Jia give you money?" He Yuzhu was not polite and took the money.

"How could my mother give me money? I spent some of the ten yuan my seventh uncle gave me last time, and there are still five yuan left. I will think of a reason to ask him for it in a few days, and he should be able to give it to me," Jia Dongxu said proudly.

"Aren't you afraid that he will beat you?" He Yuzhu was talking about something irrelevant.

"I'm fine and I have a legitimate reason to ask for money. Why did he hit me? Besides, he didn't hit me hard," Jia Dongxu said and looked back.

"He doesn't hit you hard, but he is really cruel when he hits others. Every move is fatal," said He Yuzhu with a sigh.

When they arrived at the factory gate, Deputy Factory Director Li Huaide was talking to Chief Xing Baoguo of the Security Department. When he saw Yi Zhonghai and the other two, he knew the senior workers in the factory. Seeing Yi Zhonghai covering his face, he asked, "Master Yi, does your tooth hurt?"

"Director Li, a tooth fell out," Yi Zhonghai replied quickly.

"Toothache is not a disease, but it can be fatal. It's probably caused by getting angry. Eat more things that can reduce heat," Li Huaide said with concern.

"Thank you, Director Li," Yi Zhonghai expressed his gratitude to the factory leaders for their concern.

"Zhuzi, who is this? What is the name of Dabao's nephew?" Li Huaide couldn't remember Jia Dongxu's name and asked He Yuzhui.

"Uncle, I'm Jia Dongxu." When Jia Dongxu heard Director Li asking him, he quickly walked up to Li Huaide.

The word "uncle" almost made Li Huaide drop his jaw, but then he thought about it and it made sense, because he was Dabiao's nephew, and Dabiao was his nephew.

"Dongxu, right? I remember now. Follow Lao Yi and learn well. There's an eighth-level worker in the factory who has an apprentice, but he's still a first-level worker after almost seven years. You have to make progress." When Li Huaide heard Jia Dongxu's name, he remembered the record set by Jia Dongxu. Now they are relatives and he is the elder, so he has to say a few words to him.

"I understand, uncle," Jia Dongxu nodded repeatedly.

"If you have any problems in the factory, come to the office building to find me. You are not an outsider, but you must study hard. You are now causing trouble for Lao Yi. Everyone says that he does not know how to teach his apprentices. When you are promoted, I will treat Lao Yi well." Li Huaide instructed Jia Dongxu and then left.

"Dongxu, is Director Li your relative? I've never heard of him." A worker in a workshop saw this scene and waited for Director Li to come over and asked.

"Director Li is my seventh uncle's uncle. He and my third grandmother got separated when they participated in the revolution in their early years. My third grandmother died long ago. My seventh uncle transferred to our factory and just met Director Li," Jia Dongxu explained.

"Really? You are amazing. Not only do you have such an amazing master, but you also have such an amazing grandfather." The co-workers expressed envy to Jia Dongxu.

This was the second time that Jia Dongxu was envied since he came to the factory. The first time was when he was accepted as an apprentice by Yi Zhonghai, and the second time was now.

He took to heart what Li Huaide had just said. He realized that he had become a joke and had implicated his master, so he had to make progress and reach level two before continuing to improve.

Jia Dongxu came to the workshop and studied and worked hard just like the day before, which made Yi Zhonghai feel particularly relieved. He thought that he had not chosen the wrong person to take care of him in his old age. Although Dongxu's skills were not so good, he was ambitious and a kind-hearted person. His wife also had a job, and the burden on the family was not heavy. He could help out a little and life would not be bad. It was just that his uncle was not doing well in the hospital, and the key was that he was not on the same page with him. It seemed that he had to find a way.

Chapter 46: Guo Dapiezi

Yi Zhonghai's teeth were knocked out by Zhang Dabao, so he couldn't eat the hard meals in the canteen, so He Yuzhu opened a special kitchen for him. He went through the formal procedures and paid money to the small canteen. Yi Zhonghai, an eighth-level worker, was considered a senior worker in the factory, so the canteen director agreed. Jia Dongxu also accompanied the master to the canteen in advance, because there would be many people later, and it would have a bad impact if He Yuzhu opened the special kitchen. No one was eating at this time, and he and He Yuzhu were good brothers, so he could order more dishes.

Yi Zhonghai was eating the dumpling soup and watching Jia Dongxu wolfing down the cabbage stewed with potatoes. He felt more and more that he had chosen the right person. The large group of people got off work and poured into the cafeteria.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu had finished their meal and were about to leave when Jia Dongxu saw a man harassing his aunt Zhang Lianhua. Jia Dongxu could not bear it anymore and rushed up, picked up the lunch box and smashed it on the man's head, "How dare you bully my aunt!" The lunch box was flattened with a loud noise. The man then reacted and knocked Jia Dongxu down in a few moves. The man's stubborn temper also came up and he wanted to hug Zhang Lianhua. Zhang Lianhua of course refused and dodged quickly. At this time, He Yuzhu came out with a spoon and directly hit the man's head. Jia Dongxu also got up from the ground and kicked the man three times in a row, all of which hit the man's vitals. The man covered his crotch and knelt on the ground. Yi Zhonghai came up and grabbed the man, letting Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu fight without stopping.

The younger brother of the brother of the man called "Old Four" also worked in the factory. He started chasing and beating He Yuzhu and Jia Dongxu again. Then Ma Hua and others in the cafeteria came out to help, and a melee broke out in the cafeteria.

"Bang" a gunshot rang out, and the fighting stopped. Xing Baoguo from the Security Department arrived with his team members.

"Anyone who makes trouble again will be shot." The cafeteria was now very quiet. Everyone heard Xing Baoguo's words. No one from both sides dared to move, and those who were holding the various weapons in their hands did not dare to put down.

"Put down everything in your hands, go to the security department to explain the situation, line up, and leave one by one," Xing Baoguo spoke again.

A dozen people lined up and walked toward the security department. Zhang Lianhua was at the end.

"Aren't you Da Biao's sister? Were you also involved in the fight?" Xing Baoguo had seen Zhang Lianhua when she entered the factory.

"Leader, the one with a broken head bullied me, so my nephew beat him. I will explain the situation to you." Zhang Lianhua also has a gentle appearance but a strong heart.

"Is that your nephew?" Xing Baoguo asked curiously.

"The one walking at the end is called Jia Dongxu," said Zhang Lianhua.

"Da Biao has quite a few relatives in the factory. Go ahead and follow your nephew." Xing Baoguo almost laughed. Everyone in the factory knew Jia Dongxu. He was the famous Jia Yiji, who had long held the record for the longest-serving first-level worker in the factory. He was a negative example for the cadres and employees in the factory in educating their children.

"Xiao Liu, go talk to Deputy Director Li and see if he has any instructions." Xing Baoguo was promoted by Li Huaide and was also Li Huaide's comrade-in-arms when he was in the army. He respected Li Huaide very much. Since Deputy Director Li's relatives were present, Xing Baoguo certainly had to express his gratitude.

In fact, the matter is very simple. The man's name is Guo Qinhai, nicknamed Guo Dapiezi. He is from the local area. When the Lou family built a steel rolling mill, they occupied their land and recruited five brothers to work in the factory. Because they had many brothers and were locals, they acted very domineeringly.

"Guo Qinhai, you *** cause trouble in the factory every day. You can't do this anymore. Go home. No one has more trouble than you every day." After hearing what happened, Xing Baoguo started scolding Guo Qinhai.

"Chief Xing, although I did something wrong, my head was broken by Jia Dongxu and Sha Zhu, so I am the victim," Guo Qinhai began to complain to Xing Baoguo.

"Guo Dapiezi, stop pretending. I'm telling you, if you dare to bully my aunt, I'll tell my seventh uncle when I get home. You're dead." Jia Dongxu is not afraid of Guo Dapiezi at all now. In the factory, Deputy Director Li is his uncle. Who outside can beat his seventh uncle? You, Guo Dapiezi, are nothing.

"Jia Dongxu, go home and tell your seventh uncle and your sixth uncle. I'm not afraid either. I won't let you and Sha Zhu go. If you dare to hit me, I won't forgive you. And I won't let your widow aunt go either." Guo Dapiezi is very arrogant now.

"You dare to threaten others here, you are really a hero. Come on, give the great hero Guo some measures." Xing Baoguo now received instructions from Li Huaide, "Handle official matters impartially." This means that the Guo brothers should be dealt with seriously.

"No, Chief Xing, I was just talking. I was wrong, I was wrong." Guo Dapiezi was terrified.

"Give Guo Yingxiong a full set" Xing Baoguo was unmoved.

Guo Dapiezi was carried out, and bursts of heart-wrenching screams came from next door. Half an hour later, Guo Qinhai came back, and his brothers came one after another. When they came back, none of the four brothers could stand up. After two of them carried them back, they threw them on the ground. They were as soft as mud.

No one spoke, whether it was Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, the younger brother of the Guo family, or the workers who came to help. They were all terrified.

"Guo Qinhe, go home and bring some bedding for your brothers. We will let them stay for a few days. Your fourth brother has a bad temper. We will help him change it," Xing Baoguo said to the youngest brother of the Guo family.

"Chief Xing, my fourth brother can be cured at home. He is injured now. Can I take him back?" Guo Qinhe was so scared that he pleaded quickly.

"You can come and go as you please in this place. Is this your home? You don't have to bring bedding for them. It's so cold now. You will be responsible if anything goes wrong." Xing Baoguo has plenty of ways to deal with such people.

So the four brothers of the Guo family settled down in the Security Department, where they were provided with not only food and accommodation, but also study and sometimes training. Their lives were fulfilling and meaningful.

Jia Dongxu and He Yuzhu were also given special care by the Guo brothers. They were both beaten severely. After taking their statements, Xing Baoguo asked them to go back.

As both of them had bruised faces and noses, they were too embarrassed to go back to work and went straight back to Yard 95. Zhang Lianhua had to pick up her child from school, so she did not go back with them.

"Dongxu, what happened? Who hit you?" Zhang Cuihua was very worried when she saw her son's appearance.

"Mom, Guo Dapie from our factory dared to tease my aunt, so I beat him up," said Jia Dongxu.

"You beat him up, why are you injured like this? I know Guo Dapie, can you beat him?" Zhang Cuihua didn't believe her son's words.

"Zhuzi and I beat him together. My master pulled Guo Dapiao's hand, and his head was broken by Zhuzi with a rice spoon. But his three brothers came over later, so Zhuzi and I suffered a little. But they were not feeling well either. We were taken to the security department. Chief Xing gave them a full set of beatings. After they came out, they were paralyzed and couldn't move. Zhuzi and I were next door and were almost scared to death," Jia Dongxu explained to his mother.

"Go to Zhuzi's house and get some medicinal wine. I'll apply it on you." Zhang Cuihua was both happy and sad when she saw her son's expression. She was happy that he knew how to protect his elders, but she was sad that he was beaten like this. It was really heartbreaking.
