Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"It hurts so much." Jia Dongxu crawled out from under the bicycle and jumped. Yang Ruihua and he lifted the bicycle over the threshold. Jia Dongxu did not dare to ride the bicycle in the yard, but pushed it to the backyard.

"Look at you making such a funny face, is your bike broken?" Zhang Cuihua saw Jia Dongxu stop his bike and stand there rubbing his hands here and there, with a very expressive look on his face.

"Mom, I fell and got hurt," Jia Dongxu said dissatisfiedly after hearing what his mother said.

"You deserve it. Your clothes are torn. I really want to beat you to death." Zhang Cuihua got angry again when she saw the two holes on Jia Dongxu's knees.

"Beat me again tomorrow. It hurts too much. I can't bear it any more. Mom, give me one of Xiaodang's meals." Jia Dongxu saw the snacks in his daughter's hand.

"You don't deserve to eat snacks. This is Director Yu's gift to thank your seventh uncle for bringing it. He gave me a pack to use to comfort the child." Zhang Cuihua rejected her son's request.

"Am I not your child? Come and try one." Jia Dongxu's words made sense, but they made Zhang Cuihua very angry.

"I'll let you taste it, I'll let you taste it..." He went up and slapped Jia Dongxu four or five times.

"Sister, stop hitting him. If you get hurt, won't it cost money to go to the hospital for treatment? Besides, what Dongxu said is correct. He is your child, just a little older." Zhang Dabao smiled and advised Zhang Cuihua.

"My seventh uncle is right," Jia Dongxu ran over, took a dessert from the table and put it in his mouth. It was so delicious.

"I found that there are so many things I haven't eaten before. Mom, my seventh uncle bought me steamed pork buns and roujiamo in the hospital. They are so delicious," Jia Dongxu said to his mother.

"It's a waste whatever you eat. Your seventh uncle lets you eat this and buys you that. What have you bought for him? He is your elder, but you are five years older than Dabiao," Zhang Cuihua asked her son.

"Aren't we in a difficult situation now? Just take the next step. I said I would buy canned food for my seventh uncle first, and then buy him egg cake," said Jia Dongxu.

"I hope you will do what you say. You should have some conscience. Dabiao has done so many things for you. You can't just talk about it, you have to keep it in your heart." Zhang Cuihua felt somewhat relieved when she heard her son's words.

"Of course I can do it. I'm not a liar." Jia Dongxu swallowed the snack and drank a sip of water.

"You're not lying? I don't believe it," He Yuzhu came back early after get off work. Seeing Jia Dongxu and the others at Zhang Dabao's door, he wanted to ask if Jia Dongxu's illness had recovered.

"Shazhu, what do you mean?" Jia Dongxu was angry.

"It's nothing, I just wanted to ask how your recovery is going." He Yuzhu changed the subject.

"Of course I'm fine. Can't you see that I'm full of energy? No, you silly Zhu, don't you bring anything with you when you come to see the patient?" Jia Dongxu discovered the problem.

"You are full of energy, what else do I need to bring?" He Yuzhu's answer left Jia Dongxu speechless. He did not expect that this guy with thick eyebrows and big eyes was actually a bad guy hiding among the crowd.

"I won't tease you anymore. Someone was selling old hens in the market today, so I bought one and will make chicken soup for you later," He Yuzhu said as he took out a cloth bag from behind.

"You still have some conscience. It's worth it that I visited you again and again when you were sick." Jia Dongxu was happy to see the old hen.

Chapter 90: Good and heartbreaking words

"Dabao, do you have any walnuts, chestnuts, wolfberries or anything like that?" He Yuzhu asked Zhang Dabao.

"Yes, but can Dongxu drink this?" Zhang Dabao didn't quite understand. Jia Dongxu was sick, with pneumonia, not weakness. Was it necessary to nourish him like this?

"Of course. Look at him, he's bent over. I can tell he's not fully healed yet. He needs some nourishment. Cut up some of the Polygonum multiflorum you put there last time," He Yuzhu said as he started to boil water.

"Dongxu can drink, can you drink it?" Zhang Dabao asked He Yuzhu again, you are an unmarried young man, is it okay for you to replenish yourself like this?

"I'm going for a run. The method you taught me is really useful. I sleep so comfortably after coming back." He Yuzhu really enjoys the comfort of resting after a run.

"Is running good for sleeping?" Jia Dongxu came over.

"Of course, I'll sleep till dawn," said He Yuzhu.

"Let me try it too. Let's go running together after eating." Jia Dongxu became interested again.

"If you can't run fast, I won't wait for you. You have to run fast and sweat a lot," said He Yuzhu.

"I run faster than you, at least one block ahead of you." Jia Dongxu would certainly not admit defeat. It can be said that Jia Dongxu has never lost to anyone in talking.

As there were too many people, Zhang Dabao took out some mutton and asked He Yuzhu to stew it together. The mutton was not mixed with any weird things so that the children could also eat something.

The large group of people who went to school or work came back. Banggeng saw that there was no one at home, so he followed Zhang Lianhua to the backyard.

"Dad, you're back. Are you okay?" Jia Dongxu felt relieved to see his son's greeting.

"Okay," Jia Dongxu said as he touched his son's head. Jia Dongxu felt warm in his heart when he heard his son's concern.

"How much did you spend?" This is the next sentence of the sticky post.

"I caught a cold and developed pneumonia. I had intravenous drips for several days and it cost me eleven dollars. Why are you asking this?" Jia Dongxu asked his son.

"What? Eleven dollars. I told you not to catch fish, but you just wouldn't listen. Now what? Not only can you not catch any fish, but your illness gets worse and worse, and you spend more and more money. Dad, can you understand a little bit?" Bang Geng's words almost sent Jia Dongxu away.

Jia Dongxu was so angry that his face changed and he couldn't say a word. It was so fucking heartbreaking.

"Eleven dollars is almost a month's salary. We don't have much money at home, and grandma has promised me to buy eggs and canned fruits. If we have more money, she will buy us a bicycle. But you have spent all the money. When can you buy these things?" Bang Geng said a few more words.

"Jia Geng, I'm going to beat you to death!" Jia Dongxu was extremely angry.

"What Banggeng said is wrong. Dongxu, you just don't want to hear the truth." Zhang Cuihua stopped Jia Dongxu.

"How can a son talk to his father like that?" Jia Dongxu was very dissatisfied with his mother's behavior.

"You did something wrong, and you don't allow people to say anything. Do you have the ability to not do something wrong?" Zhang Cuihua hit Jia Dongxu again.

"Okay, Dongxu, don't be angry. Banggeng is still a child," Zhang Dabia said with a smile.

A child, what a powerful reason, which left Jia Dongxu speechless.

After dinner, Jia Dongxu said he would stay in the east wing of the backyard tonight because he and He Yuzhu were going for a run and they didn't know when they would be back. What could Zhang Cuihua say? She could only ask her daughter-in-law to take good care of Jia Dongxu.

Jia Dongxu was a hundred steps behind He Yuzhu in terms of physical strength. He almost couldn't come back after he went out. When he came back, He Yuzhu had to pull him back with great difficulty. After he came back, he lay on the bed and couldn't move. It was Zhang Dabao who laid Jia Dongxu flat on the bed and took off his shoes.

That night, the scenery in Zhang Dabao's house was beautiful, and he was heading towards a green future.

After Jia Dongxu was discharged from the hospital, Lin Huanian looked at his wife who still had a fever, so he drank a packet of medicine given by Zhang Dabao. At noon, his wife started sweating, her body temperature returned to normal, she got up and ate, and her mental state improved a lot. The medicine given by Zhang Dabao was very effective.

I took it once at noon and once at night, and I didn't have a fever until the next morning. According to the doctor, the virus in my body was basically defeated.

"Lao Lin, what medicine did Da Biao give you? It's quite effective," Jidenian said to his wife Lin Hua after dinner.

"They are all fine noodles, you can't tell what's going on. They said they were brought in from outside and bought on the black market," Lin Hua said in a low voice.

"That should be it. Our medicine doesn't work that quickly. Did you pay?" Jide Nian asked again.

"He wanted to give it. Dabiao is a very generous man. He didn't even tell us the amount. He just said that his nephew was better and it would be a waste if the medicine wasn't taken. I know it was an excuse. How could the medicine be wasted? There are so many people outside who want to buy it. We haven't expressed our gratitude for Xiaoyong's matter yet, and this time we owe him a favor again," said Lin Hua with a sigh.

"I heard that you want his nephew to come to your unit?" Ji Denian asked again.

"His nephew is a good young man, but he is not very good at technical skills and has become a laughing stock in the unit. I want to transfer him to our unit and give him a change of environment. I can also help him with promotion and housing allocation in the future," Lin Hua said as he handed his wife an apple.

"Don't transfer him. When you recruit him for a job, you have to make him feel the favor. It won't work if you don't do it in a half-hearted way. After recruiting him, you have to give him a house. Doesn't he only have one room in his house? How can Zhang Dabao not feel that we are treating him like this?" Ji Denian is the leader of the unit and has a very good grasp of human nature.

"I'll listen to you, but our unit's house is not on Hongxing Street," said Lin Hua.

"Lao Lin, you are not as smart as you were when you were in the guerrillas. Instead of working in your unit, try switching to another unit. Isn't their compound the family compound of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill? The family compound of the Red Star Post Office is not far away," Jidenian said to his wife with a smile.

"This is a good idea. I'll go back and ask. It should work." Lin Hua nodded.

"When Da Biao came, I wanted to ask him about the medicine again. I am well now, but the third brother is still so sick. I don't think it is a good idea," Jide Nian discussed with his wife.

"No, the third brother is in a different situation from you. How can Da Biao have medicine?" Lin Hua was a little skeptical.

"Da Biao is a man who died on the battlefield once. I asked someone about his condition. He stayed in the hospital for more than a month due to his injury, and he hasn't recovered yet. His leg is not the point. The key is that his head was injured by a grenade. I know these people. Once they die, they cherish their lives very much after coming back. If they see something that can save their lives, they will buy it as long as they can afford it. It is impossible that only this kind of medicine is sold on the black market," said Jide Nian with a sigh.

"It's better not to ask today. Wait until you are discharged from the hospital and we will treat him to a meal. Then we can ask him. As long as the doctor finds that you are fine, we will discharge you today and treat him tomorrow," Lin Hua suggested.

"Yes, I was too impatient. More haste, less speed," Jidenian sighed.

Chapter 91: Zhang Cuihua's Wisdom

As soon as Ji Denian and Lin Hua finished their conversation, Zhang Dabao walked into the ward with two cans of food.

"Auntie Lin, is Uncle Ji okay?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Da Biao, you not only saved Xiaoyong, but also saved me. I really don't know how to express my feelings." Jidenian stood up and held Zhang Da Biao's hand tightly.

"Uncle Ji, this is too serious. We are all family, and it would be too formal to say thank you." Zhang Dabao put the things he brought on the cabinet.

"Dabao, is Dongxu willing to come to our unit?" Lin Hua asked after Zhang Dabao sat down.

"Why would he be unwilling? He was very happy when I told him about it. His reputation in the steel mill is hard to describe. It's good for him to change places. He spent a whole day learning to ride a bike yesterday. He even broke the bike my cousin gave me, but fortunately he learned how to ride it," Zhang Dabao replied with a smile.

"The bicycles in our unit are very sturdy and cannot be damaged when they fall. Let him go to the Red Star Post Office, which is close to home. Let him be responsible for the letters near the steel rolling mill. He doesn't have to go far, and his work will be easier. Dabiao, let his family take his position in the factory first. Then I will arrange a recruitment for Dongxu, and then it will be easy to arrange housing and promotion." Lin Hua's suggestion surprised Zhang Dabiao. This was too much of a favor. It shouldn't be necessary to deliver the medicine himself, right?

"Auntie Lin, I hope it won't cause you any trouble?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"It's not a big deal. I just happen to have a quota, but my children have all started working and can't use it. It's just right to give it to Dongxu. That's it," Lin Hua said with a smile.

"Thank you so much. I will treat you to a meal when you are discharged from the hospital." Zhang Dabao knew that they would definitely tell him if anything happened later.

"Eating is a must, but we'll treat you all at my house tomorrow night. I'll ask Lao Yu and Xiu Rui to come over, and you guys can have a drink, but I may not be able to drink," said Jide Nian.

"Okay, I'll be there on time." Zhang Dabao was not polite, and there was no need to be polite. When you give someone a courtesy, you must ask for something in return. Let's see what they want tomorrow.

The three of them chatted for a while, and Zhang Dabiao marked Lin Hua's

"Da Biao, I am willing to work. I must be willing." As soon as Zhang Da Biao asked Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Cuihua agreed without even a second thought.

"Aren't you feeling unwell? Are you feeling pain here and there?" Zhang Dabao asked Zhang Cuihua.

"The job Dongxu mentioned is so good. Not only does it require no work, but there are also a few old ladies to chat with. The most important thing is that the factory provides meals and pays. There are not many good things like this in the world. How can I not seize the opportunity?" Zhang Cuihua's words made sense.

Zhang Dabao thought that since Zhang Cuihua was willing to go, he should let her go. This way, there would be three people working in her family, and they would suddenly become one of the upper-class families in No. 95 Yard.

"What should we do with Xiaodang?" Zhang Dabao thought of a new problem.

"Can't I bring the child with me? The child won't affect my conversation." Zhang Cuihua's words almost pissed Zhang Dabao off to death. How ignorant are you?

"Sister, that's a factory, not your home. Why are you bringing your child there? The factory director doesn't even bring his children to work. Find someone from your hometown who can look after your child." Zhang Dabao was speechless. He thought to himself, if you were not my sister, I would beat you to death. But if that bastard Jia Dongxu said that, he would have to slap him twice and kick him.

"Look after the child. Let me think about it. The people in our family are not good enough. They will be jealous of me and will cause trouble for you. Find one from Huairu's parents' family. Her uncle has a younger sister who is fourteen or fifteen years old and is not in school. Let her come and take care of her food and drink. Just give her five or six yuan a month, that will be enough," said Zhang Cuihua.

After hearing this, Zhang Dabiao wondered, am I my brainless elder sister? Why do my words make so much sense? Why do I see things so thoroughly? Why do I think about things so comprehensively? Zhang Dabiao was a little confused.

Zhang Cuihua has a strong execution ability. After her daughter-in-law came back from get off work, she immediately held a family meeting and told her son and daughter-in-law that she had to go to work and asked her daughter-in-law's sister to help take care of the child. This decision almost surprised Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu.

"Mom, Huairu's sister is here. Where does she live?" Jia Dongxu asked the first question.

"You and Huairu can stay at Dabiao's house for a while. I have thought about it. When we find a suitable house in the yard, we will buy it. If you don't have enough money, I will go to Dabiao to borrow. Now that there are three people in our family working and they earn a lot, we will be able to pay it back soon," said Zhang Cuihua.

"But now there are only three vacant rooms owned by the deaf old lady in our courtyard, and three rooms cost seven or eight hundred yuan," Jia Dongxu asked his mother the second question.

"What's wrong with 700 or 800? The three of us make almost 100 yuan a month. We should be able to save at least 500 a month and pay it off in two years. The house can be passed down, and Banggeng has grown up now. Who knows if you will have another child or two. How can we not think of a way in advance? I'm just afraid that the street office will not sell it," Zhang Cuihua criticized Jia Dongxu.
