Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Yushui, where have you been?" Yu Haitang's grades were the worst in the class, and she had no hope of passing the college entrance examination. She came to school every day to find a job through the students from well-off families, as she could not rely on her family.

"I've been out for a while. I'll treat you to a meal later. I may not come tomorrow," said He Yushui.

"What do you mean by not coming? Not studying? There are still two months left. Can't you hold on a little longer?" Yu Haitang still cares about his good friend.

"It's not that I can't hold on, it's mainly because I have to go to work. I want to prepare tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, and I have to go to work on Monday," He Yushui said in a low voice.

"What?" Yu Haitang stood up in surprise. Her loud shouting attracted the attention of her classmates. She waved her hands embarrassedly, stuck out her tongue, and then sat down.

"Let's talk about it while we eat." He Yushui pulled Yu Haitang.

Yu Haitang nodded in agreement, but her heart was surging. He Yushui also found a job. She knew her family's conditions very well. She only had one brother, who was an eighth-level chef. Could it be that her brother met a noble person when he was cooking for others? During the class, Yu Haitang thought a lot.

He Yushui finished the class quietly, "Let's go out to eat, I brought money today," He Yushui pulled Yu Haitang who was still in a daze.

After leaving the classroom, Yu Haitang couldn't help but ask again, "Where do you work?"

"Dongcheng Post Office," He Yushui replied.

"Are there any female postmen?" Yu Haitang was stunned.

"Instead of delivering letters, go to the Finance Department and learn accounting from them." He Yushui's words shocked Yu Haitang so much that she almost couldn't walk. It would have been fine if she had gone to a good unit, but the key point was that she had entered a government agency. As the sister of an eighth-level chef, your life is really lucky.

"Who found it for you, your brother? Isn't he a chef?" Yu Haitang became even more curious.

"He's not my brother. My brother doesn't have such ability. He is a different relative," said He Yushui.

"Who are your relatives?" Yu Haitang knew He Yushui very well.

"My sister-in-law's younger brother, my brother's future wife's younger brother, if they are not relatives, then what are they? Let's go quickly." He Yushui was convinced by Yu Haitang. There were too many questions.

"Relatives like this?" Yu Haitang actually didn't quite understand.

Chapter 123: Inviting He Yushui and Yu Haitang to Dinner

As soon as He Yushui walked out of the school gate, he saw Zhang Dabao's car, which was still parked there, so he walked over. At this time, Zhang Dabao had stabilized his state of mind and was planning to leave.

Since I was going to look for Wen Li and I was feeling a little uncomfortable after my breakthrough, I went to the carriage, found a towel, dipped it in water, wiped myself, changed my clothes, and was about to leave when I saw He Yushui coming over.

"Brother Da Biao, why haven't you left yet?" He Yushui asked.

"I originally wanted to treat you to a meal to celebrate, but I forgot to tell you when you got off the bus. Then, after class, someone came out and asked them to call you, but I didn't expect you to come out first. It seems that we are in perfect harmony," Zhang Dabao said with a smile. Whoever says something to implement it at this time will be a fool.

"What are you talking about? My classmate is behind me. I want to treat her to a meal. She is my best friend in school." He Yushui pointed back.

"What a coincidence! How about I treat you two? Let's go eat Peking duck?" Zhang Dabao asked He Yushui.

"It's too expensive," He Yushui felt a little distressed.

"Your classmate is here, we can't let you lose face, ask her to come over, and you all sit in the back." Zhang Dabao got off the bus and opened the car, and He Yushui called Yu Haitang over.

"Yushui, is this your relative? So handsome, and he has a car. Can you introduce him to me?" Yu Haitang looked left and right as soon as she got in the car.

"Stop talking nonsense, he has a girlfriend," He Yushui said with a red face.

"You have a girlfriend? It can't be you," Yu Haitang suddenly realized.

"Go to hell." He Yushui was shy, and the two started quarreling in the car.

They arrived at Bianyifang. Zhang Dabao took the two of them in and ordered roast duck. "Hello, Brother Zhang," Yu Haitang said, looking very ladylike now.

"Hello Haitang, I've heard about you from Yushui a long time ago. I didn't expect to meet you today. Thank you for taking care of Yushui over the years," said Zhang Dabia.

"Brother Zhang, rain and I are best friends," said Yu Haitang.

"Haitang, can I ask you for a favor?" Zhang Dabao said.

"What's the matter?" After Zhang Dabao finished speaking, Yu Haitang and He Yushui were stunned for a moment.

"Go to the department store and help Yu Shui pick out two sets of clothes. She will start work on Monday, and what she wears at work should be different from what she wears at school. I see that you have good taste in dressing, so I want you to help. I have to go to the countryside in the afternoon, Saturday and Sunday, so I can't accompany her," Zhang Dabao stated his request.

"No need to buy it," He Yushui said in a low voice.

"Buy it, just listen to me." Zhang Dabao stuffed a stack of banknotes into He Yushui's pocket.

"Go ahead, I haven't been to a department store in a long time." Yu Haitang's eyes were full of envy.

After eating the roast duck, Zhang Dabao directly sent the two to the department store, and then went to Hongxing Primary School. He found a student at the school gate and called out Wen Li.

Zhang Dabao brought Wen Li along and found Lin Hua again. Lin Hua didn't ask anything and directly issued the transfer procedures and asked the person in charge Geng Bo to sign. In this way, Wen Li was transferred to Xiangyang Post Office and became a telephone operator.

On Saturday and Sunday, the two of them would naturally go to the mountains to celebrate, and Zhang Dabao also planned to shoot a yellow sheep.

After He Yushui and Yu Haitang got off the car, Yu Haitang asked He Yushui, "Yushui, you did a great job of keeping it a secret. When did this happen? You didn't tell me in advance."

"What's there to say about this? Let's go," He Yushui thought. Should I tell you that I just confessed this morning? Don't I want to save face?

"How much money did Brother Zhang give you? Let me see what kind of clothes he bought for you?" Yu Haitang pulled He Yushui to a corner and asked.

He Yushui took out the money bills given by Dabiao from his pocket. There were ten ten-yuan bills, totaling one hundred yuan. This was the first time Yu Haitang had seen one hundred yuan. Together with the money there were also dozens of feet of cloth coupons.

"Yu Shui, are we good friends? Can you please give Zhang Dabao to me?" Yu Haitang felt very jealous and grabbed He Yu Shui's arm with both hands and shook it.

"Don't be silly, go in quickly." He Yushui collected the money again.

"How about you be the boss and I be the younger one?" Yu Haitang was still shaking He Yushui's arm.

"I'm scared of you. I agree, okay? Hurry up," He Yushui said casually.

"Thank you, big sister," Yu Haitang called out to He Yushui, making her laugh out of anger.

The two of them spent half an afternoon shopping in the department store, buying two sets of clothes and a pair of leather shoes for He Yushui. In order to thank Yu Haitang for her help, He Yushui bought her a headscarf.

Since she went shopping in a department store today, He Yushui did not pack her things from school. She entrusted all of them to Yu Haitang and asked her to pack them and send them to her at a certain time, preferably in the evening, since she had to work during the day.

Yu Haitang spent the whole afternoon shopping. Although she didn't buy any clothes, she gained a lot of knowledge. After parting with He Yushui, she returned home.

As soon as Yu Haitang got home, she felt uncomfortable all over. The atmosphere at home was very depressing. She and her sister had no sense of existence at home, because in the eyes of her parents, there was only her younger brother.

My parents know exactly whether my younger brother has eaten, how much he has eaten, and whether he is wearing warm or cold clothes. Even if my younger brother has a scratch on his hand, my parents are still very worried.

But he completely ignored himself and his sister. It was up to us to eat or not, and there was no new clothes for us. Even when the two of us came home late, he didn't say a word.

Today was no exception. Yu Haitang returned home a little late. The family had already finished their meal, so there was no way there would be leftovers. After returning, Yu Haitang went back to her room. Fortunately, she had a good and plentiful lunch.

After returning to the room, Yu Li was also in the room and asked her with concern, "Haitang, please come back earlier next time. What if you get hungry at night?"

"Oh" Yu Haitang sighed and lay down on the bed.

"Sister, why is it so difficult to find a job?" Yu Haitang said after thinking for a while.

"The country is in a difficult situation now. Downsizing is happening everywhere in the city. No one is recruiting. Some units are recruiting, but they can't even take care of the staff internally, let alone a single person for external use," said Yu Li, who graduated from junior high school and has been at home for several years without a job.

"My classmate He Yushui found a job as an accountant in the post office," said Yu Haitang.

"The thin and tall one? Her brother found him for her? I didn't expect that the cook is so skilled." Yu Li had seen He Yushui before.

"Her brother doesn't have such ability. It was arranged by her boyfriend. He is an officer in the steel rolling mill, a cadre, and very rich. He gave He Yushui 100 yuan to buy clothes this afternoon," said Yu Haitang.

"One hundred yuan to buy clothes?" Yu Li was surprised.

"She and I went to buy it, and she also treated us to roast duck at noon. She's tall and good-looking. She also has a car, which is her own car, modified from a tricycle. The modification cost almost a thousand yuan," Yu Haitang said sourly.

"She is lucky. Why can't we meet a man like her?" Yu Li said after a long sigh.

"Are you going to kiss me without anyone?" Yu Haitang asked her sister.

"Yes, there are, but they are not good. The Yan family in Compound No. 95 has even asked someone to arrange a marriage for them. Are you kidding me?" Yu Li said.

"Yan Jiecheng? Doesn't he like to live off women? He likes to find that kind of woman. Why does he come to our house to join in the fun?" Yu Haitang didn't understand.

"So I was scolded and kicked out." Yu Li didn't want to talk anymore after she said that. Yu Haitang didn't want to talk anymore either. The room became quiet for a while.

Chapter 124 Jia Dongxu Becomes a Legend in the Hospital

At this time, Zhang Dabao and Wen Li had arrived at the foot of a higher mountain, set up camp, and settled down. It was getting dark, and there was no way to find food locally. They had to eat the food they brought with them. Then they rested early and planned to go hunting yellow sheep in the mountain early tomorrow morning.

Sometimes plans are not as good as changes. Just like Zhang Dabao and Wen Li, they planned to get up early, but they had so much fun at night that they didn't get up. What they wanted to do in the morning had to be done in the afternoon. There was nothing they could do since they were both young.

Climbing the mountain and hunting sheep went smoothly. Zhang Dabao also used his speed to catch two sheep and put them in the space when Yu Li was happy about her results.

On Sunday evening, Wen Li came back exhausted with a sheep.

When I got home, I said to my parents, "There's a sheep outside, you guys take care of it," and then I went to sleep without even washing my face.

When Mr. and Mrs. Wen saw this, they thought, "Hunting is too tiring." They had no choice but to bring the sheep in. As they didn't know how to handle it, they asked a familiar butcher to help them. They gave the butcher the sheep's head as a gift, and they worked until midnight to clean up the sheep's offal.

"Mom, what should we eat today? Let's have mutton offal. Should we call my sisters over as well?" Wen Li said.

"I owe you money every day and have been busy for most of the night, but all you do is eat. Go and call them, and tell them that you asked someone to buy these for your job transfer. The mutton will be given away, and the offal will be eaten by you. By the way, how is your work going?" asked the mother.

"Mom, I've been transferred to Xiangyang Post Office as a switchboard operator. The job is easy, and most importantly, it's close to home." Wen Li hugged her mother.

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" The mother pretended to be angry and hit Wenli twice, then shed tears of joy.

Zhang Dabao returned to Yard 95 in the evening. He Yuzhu and He Yushui came and sat with him for a while. Zhang Dabao told He Yuzhu that they might have to eat earlier because the sheep had to be processed in time, otherwise they would not be fresh by Saturday.

He Yuzhu found out about the two of them when He Yushui carried a pile of clothes home. He felt even happier because he had a deep understanding of Zhang Dabao's abilities.

"It seems that you have to pay most of the money for cooking ingredients. I didn't buy anything except the ham," said He Yuzhu.

"I have prepared a lot. You make a list and I will take it to Hufeng Hutong in advance," Zhang Dabao said to He Yuzhu.

"OK," He Yuzhu wrote. The two agreed to treat each other on Tuesday night. He Yuzhu went to prepare in advance, and Zhang Dabao went to invite people.

On Monday morning, Jia Dongxu came to find Zhang Dabao and agreed to pick up Yi Zhonghai from the hospital at 2 pm. Zhang Dabao agreed.

Since he was planning to host a dinner party tomorrow, it would be awkward for him, as a junior, to not have the presence of an elder, so he wanted to invite Li Huaide, because Li Huaide and Yu Sinian were old friends and also department-level cadres, and were of equal rank.

It would be bad to let my aunt attend, because although she is also a department-level leader, she is a woman and some things are difficult to say. It would also be bad to let my uncle-in-law attend, because my uncle-in-law's rank is too high and people who come to the banquet will feel uncomfortable, so Li Huaide is the first choice.

When they arrived at the steel rolling mill, Zhang Dabao told Li Huaide about treating them to a meal. Li Huaide readily agreed and called Yu Sinian to ask him to inform Ji De Nian, Lin Hua, Lei Huanian and others.

"Uncle, will it be bad if I don't go and invite you in person?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Those with whom we have a shallow relationship must be invited in person, but for someone like Yu Sinian, with whom I have known for decades, it would not be appropriate for you to invite him while I am attending the banquet. So it is best to make a phone call to appear close and let him inform his brothers. You are treating him as one of your own and giving him face." Li Huaide educated Zhang Dabao again.

"Dabia, there may be a mission to the north in the near future. I will try to help you. It is somewhat dangerous, but you will get great credit if you complete it," Li Huaide said to Zhang Dabia in a serious tone.

"Where is the north?" Zhang Dabao pointed to the east and west.
