Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

The brothers all nodded in agreement.

So Zhang Dasen made four paper balls, one of which had the word "no" written on it, and the other three were blank, making it agreed that whoever caught the one with the word "no" on it could not leave. Zhang Dasen put the four paper balls in a ceramic jar and placed it in front of his four brothers.

"Second brother, you go first," Zhang Dasen said to Zhang Dabai.

"Catch them together." Zhang Dabai took out one, and the other three brothers also took one. The results came out, and Zhang Dalin caught the note with the word "no".

"You guys go ahead." Zhang Dalin felt a little sad, but there was nothing he could do. It was just his bad luck.

"I plan to let Shouyong go, what about you?" Zhang Daliu said to Zhang Dayang and Zhang Dabai.

"Me too. I'm old enough. Let the kids go. I'll let Shoumin go," said Zhang Dabai. Zhang Shoumin is his eldest son, who is nineteen years old this year.

"I'll go by myself. Shouzhi and Shouhui are still young," said Zhang Dayang.

"Okay, Shouyong and Dayang will form a team, Dasen and Shoumin will form another team, and we will all make the carriage tomorrow. No matter how much money we get at the end of the year, everyone will give 10% to Dalin," said Zhang Daliu.

The brothers all said there was no problem.

The brothers dispersed, and Zhang Dalin returned home very sad. His wife was also very sad, "His father, can I ask him again when the seventh brother comes back? There seems to be no other work. There is no way to make a living in the village now."

"Don't ask anymore. There is always a way out. Don't put Da Biao in a difficult position," said Zhang Dalin.

"I just want to ask," Zhang Dalin's wife insisted.

"Don't ask now. When I can't go on any longer, I'll go find him. If I ask the other brothers now, they may not be willing. I can't blame others. I can only blame my bad luck," Zhang Dalin said self-reproachfully.

The next morning, Zhang Daliu and his five brothers took leave and did not go to work in the fields. Instead, they took a horse-drawn carriage. When Zhang Dasong went out, he saw the other brothers together and felt something was wrong, so he found Zhang Daliu.

"Da Liu, why are you hitting this thing?" Zhang Dasong asked his younger brothers.

"Brother, Da Biao bought two horses, but we still need a carriage. Let's build a carriage so that we can transport some goods," said Zhang Dasen.

"What is there to do in the village? The sweet potatoes haven't been planted yet, and the wheat is already in trouble." Zhang Dasong was even more confused.

"Brother is going to the capital to get some things, delivering some coal to the coal station and so on, and he can make a living there," Zhang Dasen answered his brother's question.

"Going to Beijing? Are you all going?" Zhang Dasong felt very unhappy and jealous. It seemed that his brothers had abandoned him.

"Four people will go. Dasen is the one who must go due to Dabiao. For the other three, the four of us will draw lots. Dalin didn't get a chance, so two people will be enough in one car," Zhang Daliu also straightened up and said.

"No, I'm your eldest brother, and you didn't even tell me about the drawing of lots." Zhang Dasong was a little unhappy.

"Brother, this is a job that Da Biao found. Don't you have some conflicts with him now?" Zhang Dasen asked.

"Oh!" Zhang Dasong was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but he had nothing to say. It was his own fault for what he had done in the first place.

Chapter 143 Meeting the Parents

Zhang Dasong was so angry that he didn't go to work in the fields. No one cared about his five younger brothers. Everyone started making a carriage. Around nine o'clock, Zhang Dabao returned to the village, bringing with him two sets of carriage axles and tires.

"Da Biao, aren't you going to come back on Monday? I just started it today and can't finish it," said Zhang Dasen.

"Today we are mainly looking for our fourth uncle. Sixth brother, go and find him. I have thought of a way to get water," Zhang Dabao said to Zhang Dasen.

"Is there really a way?" Zhang Dasen stood up and ran out.

Ten minutes later, Zhang Zhiling also came running over with Zhang Dasen, "Da Biao, do you really have a solution?"

"Uncle, I asked someone to buy some bamboo poles. We will drill a hole in the middle to make water pipes. We can bring water from the mountain to the village and plant the land first," said Zhang Dabao.

"It will take a lot of bamboo poles to get there, as it's almost five miles long," said Zhang Zhiling.

"We bought two large trucks, which is enough. We will build a pond at the entrance of the village and send people to check the bamboo poles every day. They are not made of iron and are prone to leaking," said Zhang Dabao.

"That's great, Da Biao. Thank you on behalf of all the men. The village will pay for the bamboo poles," Zhang Zhiling was very excited.

"Fourth Uncle, am I not a member of the Zhang family? My ancestors are also buried on the mountain. We can talk about the money later. Let's find a place to unload the truck first. The truck carrying bamboo poles will be here at ten o'clock," Zhang Dabia said to Zhang Zhiling with a smile.

The other five brothers of the Zhang family had no intention of continuing to make the carriage, so they went to the village entrance with everyone else.

Zhang Zhiling called the villagers over through the village radio. At ten o'clock, two large trucks arrived, carrying two truckloads of bamboo. The villagers of Zhangjia Village shouted happily because there was hope for their lives again.

From ten in the morning to four in the afternoon, all the laborers in the village worked together to bring water to the village entrance. At this moment, Zhang Zhiling felt like crying. The young and old in Zhangjia Village were saved.

Zhang Dabao wanted to leave after the water came, but Zhang Zhiling would not let him. He held Zhang Dabao and insisted that he eat before leaving. Faced with Zhang Zhiling's kindness, Zhang Dabao had dinner in the village. It was almost nine o'clock in the evening when he returned to Yard 95.

After coming back, thinking about the heartfelt smiles of his fellow villagers, Zhang Dabao couldn't calm down for a long time. Helping others is also a merit. At this moment, Zhang Dabao's spirit was sublimated again. The skills in his body moved rapidly. By dawn, he had become a cultivator of the ninth level of Qi Refining, and was almost at the peak of the ninth level of Qi Refining. He was only one step away from building the foundation.

After taking a shower and changing clothes, the biggest feeling Zhang Dabao gives to others now is elegance and free and easy, and the whole person makes people feel particularly comfortable looking at him.

"Seventh uncle, I find that you have become more handsome." This was said by the nephew Jia Dongxu who had not yet washed his face when he got up in the morning.

"Can good looks be used to make a living? You are not ugly. Have you eaten well these years? You do useless things every day. Don't you want to be a leader? Leaders always arrive at the company early. If anyone arrives at the office by clock like you, you will feel that you have suffered a great loss if you arrive one minute earlier." Zhang Dabao became angry again when he saw Jia Dongxu's look. Who would dare to use you as a leader if you look like this?

"You're still unwilling to be praised. I've decided that from today on I'm going to go to work early," Jia Dongxu said and went to the Intermediate Court.

When he arrived at the Central Courtyard, Qin Huairu had already prepared dinner, and Banggeng had gotten up and washed up. Now the whole family was waiting for him to eat.

"Mom, I found that my seventh uncle has become more handsome," Jia Dongxu said as he sat down and picked up the steamed bread.

"You will become handsome when you become a section chief. Come and eat. Steamed bread can't keep you hungry," Zhang Cuihua said to her son. He just tells the truth every day. How handsome my own brother is, how could I not know?

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

"Everyone in our Zhang family is handsome. Who among them is not handsome? They are just like those bastards in your Jia family, ugly and misshapen." Zhang Cuihua said this and saw her grandson Banggeng looking at her.

Zhang Cuihua quickly added, "Except for the sticky ones."

Qin Huairu and Qin Jingru almost choked on their porridge. You are too targeted. There are two men in the Jia family, one big and one small, and Bang Geng is not included. What does it mean? You almost mentioned Jia Dongxu's name.

"Mom, look at what you are saying." Jia Dongxu quickly finished his steamed bread, drank his porridge, said goodbye to his family and left.

Yan Jiecheng is no longer being beaten at the police station because his body cannot withstand the high intensity interrogation. After a day of interrogation, Yan Jiecheng is still a little uncomfortable. He was not beaten. What happened? Didn't they ask him if he could speak today?

"Jiecheng, you've made it through. They won't fight anymore. I have experience," Huang Defa said to Yan Jiecheng with a smile.

"Brother Huang, is this true?" Yan Jiecheng almost shed tears.

"Of course it's true, Jie Cheng, you're awesome. You've taken so many beatings, you're really great." Huang Defa once again gave Yan Jie Cheng a thumbs up.

"Brother Huang, let's not talk about this anymore. Aren't you leaving soon? How many days are left?" Yan Jiecheng quickly changed the subject.

"There are still two days left, you must remember my

"Definitely Brother Huang." Yan Jiecheng thanked this good brother from the bottom of his heart.

Zhang Weihua was also discussing with Cao Lianbiao, "Lianbiao, let's forget about Yan Jiecheng. He can't stand being beaten again, and it would be bad if something happened."

"We won't beat him today. Is he still a man? He cries when he is beaten. There is no point in teaching such a person a lesson," said Cao Lianbiao.

"Let him rest for a few days and then go back. We don't need to add any more time. This kind of person is wasting the country's food here. We've beaten him for ten days and he should have learned his lesson," said Zhang Weihua.

Cao Lianbiao agreed and Yan Jiecheng would no longer receive special treatment.

Sunday finally arrived. Zhang Dabao and He Yushui changed into new clothes, took gifts, and went to visit Wang Xiuqin today.

"Brother Da Biao, I'm a little nervous." He Yushui said nervously as soon as he got on the motorcycle.

"Why are you so nervous? An ugly daughter-in-law has to meet her parents-in-law. Besides, you are not ugly." After saying this, Zhang Dabao kissed He Yushui, making He Yushui even more shy.

When they arrived at the gate of the compound, He Yushui, who was not nervous on the motorcycle, became nervous again. The compound was too awe-inspiring for ordinary people.

"I don't live here. This is just my aunt's house. Don't be afraid. I'll hold your hand." Zhang Dabao took He Yushui's hand and came to the guard post. After registering, he waited for the guard to call inside.

"Zhang Dabao, what are you doing here?" Just as the two were waiting, an unpleasant voice appeared.

"Auntie, you and I are not related at all. Is it necessary for me to tell you when I go there? Are you a police officer? You ask this and that every day?" Zhang Dabao felt a headache when he heard Bai Lu's mother's voice.

"Do you know what this place is? Is this a place you can come to?" Bai Lu's mother asked with a look of disdain.

Zhang Dabao ignored her.

"Chief Zhang, you and this girl go in. Minister Qiao is at home." The guard came over and called Zhang Dabao after finishing his phone call.

Zhang Dabao pulled He Yushui straight in.

Chapter 144: Going to Apologize with My Cousin

"Comrade, how could he get in?" Deng Shufang asked the guard.

"He's Minister Qiao's relative, of course he can come in. You have to wait a moment. We've made a phone call and got permission from inside before we can come in." The guard asked Deng Shufang and her family of four to move back a little.

"Bai Lu, he is a relative of Minister Qiao. I heard the guard call him section chief. He is a cadre at least. Why don't you get to know him?" Deng Shufang turned around and said to her daughter.

"Mom, do you still want me to be a human being? Don't you see that he has a girlfriend?" Bai Lu was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

"So what? You're not ugly, isn't it a fair competition?" Bai Lu couldn't understand what Deng Shufang said. She didn't understand why her mother became like this.

Bai Lu doesn't want to say a word now.

The guard called inside and let the four members of the Bai family in.

"Hello, aunt, uncle, and cousin, this is my girlfriend He Yushui." Zhang Dabao brought He Yushui to the Qiao family.

"This is Yu Shui, so beautiful," Wang Xiuqin grabbed He Yu Shui's hand and pulled He Yu Shui to sit next to her without even looking at Zhang Dabao.

"Da Biao, good job," Qiao Baozhong praised Zhang Da Biao.

"Uncle, you're lucky." Zhang Dabao certainly knew what Qiao Baozhong was talking about.

"Da Biao, you are amazing. It's a pity that you leave the army with such military qualities. How about I go and talk to you and ask you to come to our unit?" Qiao Yongqian said.

"Qiao Yongqian..." Wang Xiuqin let go of He Yushui's hand, picked up the chicken feather blanket beside her and started to attack Qiao Yongqian.

"Mom, Da Biao's girlfriend is here, you have to maintain your image." Qiao Yongqian was hit several times.

"You also know that Da Biao has a girlfriend. Where is your girlfriend? Xiao Huang, whom Weihua introduced to you, is so nice, but you started quarreling with her. Are you a human being? Do you want to piss me off to death?" Wang Xiuqin became even angrier when she heard her son's words, and hit him many more times until Qiao Yongqian was beaten out of the house.

"Zhang Dabao, if you listen to Qiao Yongqian, I will beat you too," said Wang Xiuqin.

"I won't listen to my cousin. I'll listen to you, my aunt. I'm the section chief of our unit now, and he's the kind who doesn't do any work but just gets paid. Why should I go to his unit?" Zhang Dabao immediately expressed his attitude.

Qiao Baozhong was drinking water with a newspaper in his hand. He was used to this kind of situation at home.

"I've let you go this time for Yu Shui's sake. If Li Huaide comes up with this kind of idea again, you can beat him up as well." Seeing that Zhang Dabao was so submissive, Wang Xiuqin made a few casual threats and then started chatting with He Yu Shui with a smile.

Seeing that the danger was over, Qiao Yongqian went into the house, sat down and said to his father, "Dad, why don't you talk to my mom? I'm over 20 years old and I still get beaten every day. Others will laugh at me."

"If you are still not married at such an old age, people will laugh at me, so you deserve your mother to beat you. If you have the ability, get married quickly, and give birth to two grandchildren for your mother to take care of. Will she have time to take care of you?" Qiao Baozhong's words left Qiao Yongqian speechless.
