Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

With these things, you will have more room to maneuver.

To restore everything to its original state, since the spider web in this place was damaged, Zhang Dabao specially caught a dozen spiders and put them here to weave a web.

After resting in Chunfeng Hutong for half the night, Zhang Dabao began to study the various weapons in the space after daybreak. Finally, he decided to load five Zhongzheng rifles and take out two grenades to deal with Guo Dapiezi's brothers. He also thought of the retreat route, which was to go from the printing factory to Nanyi Street, change clothes in the printing factory, run out of two alleys and change clothes again, and then ride a bicycle back to Yard 95.

I reviewed the plan in my mind again and felt that there was nothing missing, so I put away all the weapons.

Five days later, it was the second day of February, a good time to get a haircut. Jia Dongxu got a haircut today, and his curly hair was shaved into a flat top. He looked a lot more energetic, but he always lowered his head and bent his waist when talking, which made him unlikable.

"Seventh Uncle, my mother is going out of town to pick wild vegetables tomorrow. Do you want to eat any vegetables?" When Jia Dongxu saw Zhang Dabao coming back, he hurried over.

"Dongxu, don't let your mother go. There are more people picking wild vegetables outside than vegetables. There are no wild vegetables nearby. If you want to eat wild vegetables, you might be able to find some in the mountains of your hometown." Zhang Dabao couldn't help but advise. What year is it now? Anything edible would have been eaten up long ago. You still want to pick wild vegetables in the suburbs.

"No more? I wanted to take the kids out for some fresh air." Jia Dongxu said regretfully.

"You can take your mother to have a look, or you can ask Teacher Yan. Some of his children may have been there." After saying this, Zhang Dabao returned to the backyard.

In the evening, Jia Dongxu came and said that he would not go tomorrow. Yan Jiefang and the others found nothing. He would go fishing with Teacher Yan tomorrow. He Yuzhu would also go. He asked Zhang Dabao if he wanted to go.

"Fishing is more reliable than digging wild vegetables. At least they can't catch all the fish in the water. Let's go together tomorrow. I'll bring some food and a pot. We'll eat the fish caught by humans at noon tomorrow," said Zhang Dabao, looking at Jia Dongxu who was eager to try.

"Don't worry, Uncle Qi. I'm really good at fishing. I'm too busy with work to go fishing. If I had gone, I would have caught ten big fish that day." Jia Dongxu is full of confidence now. It's not that Jia Dongxu is confident in everything he does. He just has a really good mentality.

Zhang Lianhua laughed after hearing what her nephew said, "Dongxu, I really didn't know you had such ability."

"Aunt, you have been here for a short time and you still don't know me well. When I was in my teens, I went to the river and caught a bucket of fish," Jia Dongxu said proudly.

"Brother Dongxu, when you were in your teens, didn't you fall into the river while fishing and get beaten up by Aunt Jia and not allowed to go out?" He Yuzhu came and exposed Jia Dongxu's shortcomings as soon as he entered the room.

"How could that be possible? Zhuzi, you have been coming to the backyard quite frequently these days, more often than I have," Jia Dongxu said angrily.

"I have something to do with Da Biao," He Yuzhu said, scratching his head.

"What's the matter? My seventh uncle is in the north room. What are you doing in the kitchen? Do you have any feelings for my aunt? You bastard, I treat you as a brother, and you want to be my uncle." Jia Dongxu saw the problem.

"I don't have a wife, so what's wrong with wanting to be your uncle?" He Yuzhu generously admitted that he had a way.

"Is my aunt a widow?" Jia Dongxu said.

"Don't you know that our family has a tradition of liking widows?" He Yuzhu's reason was so powerful that Jia Dongxu was speechless.

"Brother Zhuzi, my eldest sister is also a widow." When Zhang Dabao saw Zhang Lianhua running away shyly, Bili basically understood that it seemed that his second sister also fell in love with this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes.

"I like beautiful widows, and my taste is not heavy," He Yuzhu explained.

"Silly Zhu, what the hell do you mean? Are you saying I'm not pretty?" Zhang Cuihua came and got angry when she heard what He Yuzhu said.

"Only Uncle Jia can appreciate your beauty. I'm too young to appreciate it. Can I still marry you and become Brother Dongxu's father?" He Yuzhu's words became more and more unreliable.

"You idiot, how dare you have ideas about my mother?" Jia Dongxu got angry and pounced on him.

"I don't have any idea, I just want to be your uncle." He Yuzhu was beaten and ran away with his head in his hands.

Chapter 50: Picnic

After a big commotion, everyone in the Jia family went back and made an appointment to go fishing together by the river at 8:30 tomorrow morning.

After they all left, Zhang Dabiao came to Zhang Lianhua's room and asked, "Second sister, are you interested in Brother Zhuzi?"

"I think he is quite honest, just a little old. As a widow, what kind of man can I find? He doesn't look down on me, and I also think he is capable. We live in the same courtyard, and he doesn't dare to bully me," said Zhang Lianhua.

"He looks old, but he is not very old. Is he twenty-three or twenty-four this year? I forgot," said Zhang Dabao.

"Twenty-four, two years younger than me," said Zhang Lianhua.

"As long as you are willing, I support you," said Zhang Dabao.

"Maybe in the second half of the year. Youxing has only been gone for a short time. Even though his mother was not nice to me, Youxing was still a good person," said Zhang Lianhua.

"Okay, it will be fine around the National Day in the second half of the year. He still has a father, who ran away with the widow," said Zhang Dabao.

"Zhu Zi said, let's talk about it later." Zhang Lianhua didn't want to continue this topic.

"Go to bed early. We'll go fishing together tomorrow." Zhang Dabiao went out and returned to his room. He looked at the window of the deaf old lady. Would the deaf old lady agree to He Yuzhu marrying his second sister? Probably not. He hoped that He Yuzhu would be a childless person like Yi Zhonghai. Only when a childless person has no children to accompany him would he pay attention to their old age. The biggest reason why she introduced Sha Zhu to Lou Xiao'e in her previous life was that Lou Xiao'e did not have children.

This is a cruel person. For the sake of his own life, he doesn't care about the happiness of others. He says he is doing good for others, but he does things that are not human.

You are unlucky to meet me, you deaf old lady, right? After I deal with Guo Dapiao, it will be your turn. Zhang Dabao let out a long sigh and retracted his gaze.

On the third day of February, the sun was shining brightly, a good day for traveling. It was not very cold, but not hot either. Zhang Dabao and his group of more than a dozen people came to a nearby creek. Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lianhua were holding baskets, saying that if they came across any wild vegetables, they would just dig them up.

When we arrived at the river, we really didn't find any wild vegetables. There were more people looking for wild vegetables than eating them. There were also many people fishing in the river. Fishing not only consumes less energy, but more importantly, it also requires less investment. If you can catch a fish, it would be even better, as it can improve your family's life. After all, it is meat.

Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, Yan Bugui and Huang Xinsheng had already put down their fishing hooks and sat aside waiting for the fish to start.

"Aren't you going to make a nest?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu who was closest to him.

"What's the point of making a bait? How much food will be wasted. We need earthworms to fish." Jia Dongxu showed Zhang Dabao the bait on his fishing hook.

"If you don't make a nest when fishing, you won't catch much, don't you know that?" Zhang Dabiao simply couldn't understand their behavior. How could you catch fish like this? It was all based on luck.

Zhang Dabao took out the cloth bag from the net bag, and then took out the rice in the nest. The rice soaked in wine should be very attractive to fish now. After making a nest, Zhang Dabao began to test the depth of the water and adjust the float. After ten minutes, he took out the bait and put down the hook.

There is a real difference between fishing with bait and without bait. Zhang Dabiao caught a fish within two minutes of casting the hook. He worked like a tiger and landed a two-pound fish. Jia Dongxu's eyes almost popped out. I cast the hook for more than 20 minutes, but the float didn't move at all. Uncle Qi was messing around for a long time, and I despised him a little bit, but he finally caught a fish.

After taking the fish, Zhang Dabao handed it to Zhang Lianhua who was watching the child, and then continued to hook the fish. He caught the fish again and hooked the fish again.

In the whole river, Zhang Dabao became the most handsome guy, and the fish he caught alone were equal to those of all the mermaids fishing in the river today.

"Da Biao, do you have a unique method for fishing?" Yan Bugui could not sit still. Normally, he had done well today, catching two fish, weighing almost one kilogram. However, Zhang Da Biao was too aggressive in fishing. He would not accept any fish weighing less than one kilogram, and he had caught more than twenty fish weighing more than two kilograms, filling up the three buckets he brought.

"There are many methods, Teacher Yan. If you want to catch more fish, you must first make a nest. Without a nest, how can you attract fish? You don't need grain, bran can be used. If that doesn't work, you can use grass to make a nest and catch some grass carp." Zhang Dabao did not hide anything and told us his own method.

Yan Bugui also thought it made sense, but he still couldn't bear to use grain. He decided to use grass to make nests next time. Grass carp would also be fine, as they all grow very big. Yan Bugui had an idea in his mind.

"Brother Zhuzi, stop fishing and get busy. How about grilled fish today?" Zhang Dabao said to He Yuzhu when he saw that he was still armed.

"I'm not very good at grilling fish," He Yuzhu said a little embarrassedly.

"Yes, I can. I'll tell you the method. I have everything with me. They are on Xinsheng's bicycle." After saying this, Zhang Dabao asked Huang Xinsheng to get them.

"Let's eat grilled fish." Banggeng and Jia Jingshu were particularly happy. They ran back and forth along the river bank and were already hungry.

Yan Bugui also ate grilled fish today. After the meal, Banggeng, Jingshu, and Xiaodang were all sleepy. Zhang Dabiao and others packed up and went back, while Yan Bugui took Zhang Dabiao's place and continued fishing.

"Teacher Yan, next Sunday, let your children come and help turn the soil. I will go back to process these fish and get some meat, and then we will have a good drink together," Zhang Dabao said to Yan Bugui.

"Da Biao, don't worry, I will definitely complete it for you well." Yan Bugui smiled, and they would have a good meal again next Sunday.

After returning to Yard No. 95, He Yuzhu got a large tank from home and raised three fish in it. He processed the other fish, smeared them with salt, and hung them in the room where Master Huo used to live to dry.

Zhang Dabao rested for an afternoon, and after dinner in the evening, he connected to the crows that were monitoring the Guo family.

The Guo brothers had been recovering from their injuries for five days and were almost recovered. They gathered at Guo Qinhai's house for a meeting.

"Brother, tomorrow is Monday. When are we going to start?" Guo Qinhai was a little impatient.

"Why are you so impatient? Can you leave now?" Boss Guo asked his younger brother.

"I have no problem running now, let alone walking." In order to prove that he could do it, Guo Qinhai jumped twice.

"We'll take action tomorrow. The third brother, bring a gun. Shazhu learned wrestling when he was a child, most people can't beat him. First, hold him down with a gun, and then capture Jia Dongxu and Yi Zhonghai," said Boss Guo.

"Uncle, I also want to carry a gun and hold Jia Dongxu back," said Guo Qinhai's son Guo Xiaoliang.

"A guy like Jia Dongxu still needs a gun? If you want to bring him along, just take him along. Call a few of your brothers along and let them see the world," Boss Guo said to his nephew.

"Okay, what time in the afternoon do we arrive at Xiaozhi Hutong?" Guo Xiaoliang asked again.

"Don't go too early. Gather at four o'clock, and everyone will be here by half past four. The third and fourth brothers will be responsible for catching people at the front entrance of the alley. The second brother will wait until the fourth and the others leave. You will catch the young woman and the child at the front entrance of the alley first. The second brother will be responsible for the back entrance of the alley. Don't let anyone in. The fifth brother will be responsible for the three households in the alley. There is one household at the entrance of the alley where no one lives, but two households have people living in them. Don't let them out." Boss Guo arranged the tasks for his brothers and explained a few details. Finally, the few people dispersed.

Let’s start tomorrow, that’s great! Zhang Dabao was also happy when he heard the news.

Chapter 51: The Actions of the Guo Family Father and Son

On the way to work in the morning, Jia Dongxu asked He Yuzhu seriously, "Zhuzi, tell me the truth, are you really attracted to my aunt?"

He Yuzhu also answered very formally, "Of course it's true. I've been on date many times before, but the ones I liked didn't like me, and the ones who liked me, I didn't like. I feel that Lianhua is gentle, beautiful, and very considerate. I want to marry her."

"You bastard, do you really want to be my uncle? I totally disagree," Jia Dongxu said angrily.

"This is an adult matter, does it matter whether a child agrees or not?" He Yuzhu's words almost pissed Jia Dongxu off to death. He was just a nephew and his words didn't carry any weight.

"Zhu Zi, you have to be cautious when looking for a wife. Don't be blind," Yi Zhonghai also spoke.

"Don't worry, uncle. I really feel that Lianhua is good, but if I want to marry her, I have to wait until the second half of the year. She doesn't want to get married so soon," said He Yuzhu.

"Yes, my thirteenth uncle died not long ago. Zhuzi, you'd better think about it. If you want to marry my aunt, you may lose me as a friend," Jia Dongxu continued to persuade He Yuzhu.

"I have many friends, who are you? I am going to marry Lianhua, do I need you as a friend? You are a relative, a nephew." He Yuzhu's words hurt Jia Dongxu again.

"Shazhu, you bastard" Jia Dongxu's angry look was not scary at all, at least He Yuzhu was not afraid.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything else. He didn't want He Yuzhu to have any contact with Zhang Dabiao. Jia Dongxu was already Zhang Dabiao's nephew, and this could not be changed. It would be too bad if He Yuzhu, his retirement alternative, became related to Zhang Dabiao. He had to find a way.

The three people were all preoccupied with their own thoughts and didn't notice the two people following them not far behind.

"Remember? The curly-haired guy is Jia Dongxu, the silly one is Sha Zhu, he knows kung fu, and the old man is Yi Zhonghai," a middle-aged man said to a young man.

"Remember, I will be watching at the factory gate in the afternoon. As soon as they leave the factory, I will run back to deliver the letter." The young man looked at Jia Dongxu and the other two again and memorized their appearance in his mind.

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Lexu went to a workshop, and He Yuzhu went to the cafeteria.

Zhang Dabao released one of the two crows into Guo Qinhai's home to monitor their actions, and released the other one into the steel rolling mill to watch Zhang Lianhua.

After lunch, Zhang Dabao went out and arrived at Xiaozhi Hutong in advance. There were only a few employees in the printing factory and no production tasks. After noon, the workers went home for lunch and basically did not come to the company in the afternoon.

After climbing up the water tower, Zhang Dabao squatted behind the parapet and thought about his plan again. When he felt there was no problem, he leaned against the wall and closed his eyes to rest.

Today, Guo Xiaoliang gathered a dozen young men and invited them to drink at noon. A group of 17 or 18-year-old kids, who were very excited, came to help with all kinds of weapons in their hands, including broadswords, shotguns, two Hanyang-made guns and a turtle box. Seeing this, Boss Guo shook his head. What good is this? Bringing a bunch of messy people here, catching one can lead a group. He suppressed his anger again and again. It must be a nephew, not a son. If it was his own son, he would have beaten his mother to death long ago.

Time passed little by little, and at three o'clock, Guo Xiaoliang had lost his temper and wanted to ambush in advance.

"Xiaoliang, it's not good to go too early. After all, this is the capital city, with many people and eyes. If we set up an ambush in advance, the risk of being exposed will be great." Boss Guo patiently explained to his nephew.

After four o'clock, Guo Lao could no longer persuade them, so he gathered his men and came to Xiaozhi Hutong. Zhang Dabao saw that things had changed. Guo Qinhai and his men had brought too many people. He thought they would only have a dozen people, but there were more than thirty people. He could not handle the situation with his three teams. After a long time, gunshots were heard and the police arrived quickly.

Zhang Dabao thought again and again, took out the pheasant neck from the space, loaded the bullets, and thought to use the medium-range rifle to kill Guo Qinhai's brothers first, and then use the machine gun to shoot them. After the shooting, no matter what the situation of the people below, he would put away the machine gun and run away.

With a plan in mind, Zhang Dabao put the two medium-sized rifles back into the space, leaving only one medium-sized rifle and the machine gun outside.
