Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Don't eat alone all the time. There is a severe shortage of meat in the factory right now. Who did you go with?" Li Huaide seemed to have heard a name just now.

"Xu Damao, we're from the same theater, he's the projectionist in the factory," Zhang Dabao explained.

"What can we do by taking him with us? Just give ourselves away to be killed? Xu Damao is not even as strong as a woman," said Li Huaide.

"We went out to play together, and we happened to meet him, so we shot him to death," Zhang Dabao said casually.

"Did you know that Lao Yi from your hospital has applied for construction assistance?" Li Huaide asked Zhang Dabao.

"I heard him say it once. He was scared after being beaten, so this time the person who did it was a young man in our yard. Lao Yi has a lame leg," said Zhang Dabao.

"Level 8 workers are in short supply everywhere. If they are willing to go, let them go. You can't keep them. What's going on? Have you been to Lao Yang?" Li Huaide asked Zhang Dabao.

"No, do you need me to go there?" Zhang Dabiao thought, aren't you two incompatible? I'm your relative, is it appropriate for me to go to Lao Yang's place?

"Go ahead. Lao Yang and I just have some disagreements on work. We have different ideas, but they are both for the development of the factory. You are the section chief now. If you get along better with Lao Yang, it will be good for your future. Just take these things over." Li Huaide was really considering Zhang Dabao.

"I still have some. Should I go there?" Zhang Dabao asked Li Huaide.

"Just go," Li Huaide smiled.

Zhang Dabao left Li Huaide's office, turned the corner, looked around to see if there was anyone around, took out a copy from the space, and came to Yang Weihua's office.

"Director, are you busy?" After Zhang Dabao knocked on the door and heard the sound of someone coming in, he came to Yang Weihua's office.

"Da Biao is here, come and sit down. What business do you have at the factory?" Yang Weihua was also very enthusiastic.

"It's nothing. I went hunting with my friends yesterday and killed a wild boar. I brought some meat for you," Zhang Dabao pointed to the cloth bag.

"Da Biao, you are so thoughtful. The supply of meat in the market is very tight right now. My grandson is craving for meat and asks me for it every day," Yang Weihua said with a smile.

"Director, how is Niu Kewu recovering now? Any news?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"You've recovered well. Do you still want to go? Are you not afraid of danger?" Yang Weihua asked.

"It is dangerous, yes. Are soldiers afraid of danger? If they were afraid, they wouldn't have joined the army. I just heard from my cousin that there is a shortage of meat in the factory. We can buy some on the grassland. There are mutton, horse meat and beef," said Zhang Dabao.

"Da Biao, your suggestion is very important. I will discuss it with them later. We may need to send someone there in a few days," said Yang Weihua.

After chatting for a few more words, Zhang Dabao said goodbye and left. When passing by the post office, he thought of Wen Li again. Forget it, he would not go to her place. He decided to go to the place of Ji Denian and the other three. After visiting these three places and the auntie's place at the street office, he arrived at the Hongxing Police Station around noon.

There were seven or eight police officers busy with something in the yard. Zhang Dabao took a look and came to Zhang Weihua's office.

"Uncle Zhang, what's going on with all this commotion outside?" Zhang Dabao asked casually.

"Kill a pig. Yesterday, Lian Biao and his men went to the mountain to hunt a wild boar. Everyone wanted to eat the pig raw when they saw it. There are not many cases, so everyone went to help. Come to our place tomorrow at noon. We will treat you to a drink to improve your life," said Zhang Weihua.

"Uncle Zhang, I went up the mountain yesterday and had a fight with someone. I divided the spoils. This is your share. I won't join your dinner." Zhang Dabao politely declined.

"No, you must come. This is not a discussion. Now everyone knows how powerful you are. There are a few guys who are not convinced. You have to teach them a lesson tomorrow," said Zhang Weihua.

"I was too harsh, it's not good," Zhang Dabao said and shook his head.

“It doesn’t matter if they are not killed or disabled, as long as they learn a lesson.” Zhang Weihua said this. Zhang Dabao did not insist and made an appointment to come here at nine o’clock tomorrow morning to communicate with everyone.

After refusing Zhang Weihua's invitation to stay for dinner, Zhang Dabao came to Chunfeng Hutong. Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were coming to eat in the evening, so the meat had to be cooked first. The longer the meat was cooked, the more mushy it would become and the more delicious it would be.

Chapter 160 Spring Dawn

After lunch, Zhang Dabao started to prepare the offal and started stewing it at two o'clock. There were many spices in the Space Supermarket, more than the seasonings at He Yu's house. After boiling over high heat, he started to simmer over low heat.

At six o'clock in the evening, Xu Damao came with Lou Xiaoe on a bicycle. Each of them brought two bottles of wine. Xu Damao brought Moutai and Lou Xiaoe brought Langjiu. Judging from the packaging, the wine Lou Xiaoe brought was older.

At this time, Zhang Dabao had already prepared the dishes, including pork liver with shredded green onions, pig ears with cucumbers, fried pig face with peppers, stewed pork intestines with tofu, and spicy and sour shredded potatoes. Four dishes and one soup were enough for three people.

Xu Damao opened the Maotai bottles he brought and filled up Zhang Dabao and Lou Xiaoe's glasses.

"Brother Damao, why don't you drink?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"I was exhausted when I came back from the mountain yesterday. I was scared when the wild boar rushed up the tree. I went to the doctor to get some medicine. The doctor told me not to drink alcohol while taking the medicine. I have two bottles of Moutai at home. Next time I will accompany you to have a drink. This time, Xiao'e can only have a drink with you," Xu Damao explained.

"It's best not to drink alcohol while taking medicine. I don't like drinking much, and I don't like being forced to drink. There are no outsiders here, so let's just do whatever we want," Zhang Dabao said to Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

Both nodded.

It was dark and windy, and there was sand in the wind.

"What a horrible weather, it's so gloomy, is it going to rain?" Zhang Dabao complained, turned on the light and closed the door.

The atmosphere at the table was still very lively, and today's topic was opera. Lou Xiao'e was in high spirits and even sang a piece of "The Drunken Concubine", which had a certain charm; Zhang Dabiao also sang a short piece of the classic clip from "The Golden Chamber", which was later spread by Zhang Yunlei and became a hit all over the country, with almost everyone singing a few lines.

It was Xu Damao's turn to perform. Xu Damao knew nothing and could only smile awkwardly.

After singing the traditional Chinese opera, they started talking about opera. Lou Xiao'e and Zhang Dabao even sang a few classic lyrics from "La Dame aux Camélias". The conversation became more and more heated, and the wine became more and more drunk. Before they knew it, Zhang Dabao and Lou Xiao'e had finished a bottle of Moutai.

Xu Damao went out to the toilet and hasn't come back for more than ten minutes. It's too hot in the room now. Lou Xiao'e's face is very red. Zhang Dabao also feels something is wrong at this time. Why does he always have such an urge?

The more he looked at Lou Xiao'e, the prettier she looked. Zhang Dabiao felt that something bad was going to happen in the room, so he stood up and said, "I'm going to go find Brother Damao. How long have you been in the toilet?"

"I'll go too." Lou Xiao'e also stood up. Maybe she drank a little too much and she couldn't stand steadily. Zhang Dabao supported her and she leaned into Zhang Dabao's arms.

The two of them could already feel each other's heat. Zhang Dabao took a step forward and Lou Xiao'e hugged him. It was not known who kissed him first, but they kissed him anyway, and then their clothes were all over the floor, and the battlefield moved to the bed.

The spring breeze outside the window made the electric wires buzz, and there were a few raindrops in the wind. The room was warm like spring, and the two of them fell asleep in each other's arms.

It was dawn, and the sound of birds chirping could be heard outside the window. Zhang Dabiao thought of a poem by an ancient poet:

I sleep through the spring without knowing the dawn, and hear birds singing everywhere. At night there is the sound of wind and rain, and Xiao'e turns into Sister-in-law.

Lou Xiao'e was sleeping very soundly, with one of her legs still pressing on Zhang Dabao's body. As Zhang Dabao wanted to get up, and perhaps because he was cold, Lou Xiao'e arched her back and forth like a child, used Zhang Dabao's arm as a pillow, and fell asleep again.

Zhang Dabao looked at the watch. It was not yet five o'clock, so he decided to sleep a little longer. He hugged Lou Xiaoe and fell asleep.

Zhang Dabao felt his nose a little itchy in his sleep, so he opened his eyes and found that it was Lou Xiao'e who woke up.

"I feel like there's something wrong with the alcohol?" Zhang Dabao said to Lou Xiao'e.

"So what?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"So I have to find Xu Damao and ask him clearly what he means. He and I are friends, he shouldn't treat me like this," said Zhang Dabao.

"What do you do? Send his fiancée to your bed? I do." Lou Xiao'e provocatively lay on Zhang Dabiao. Who can stand this? A young man in his twenties, still in the early morning, started his morning exercise again.

Afterwards, Zhang Dabao looked at his watch and saw that it was almost eight o'clock, so he quickly put on his clothes. The door was still locked by Xu Damao from the outside, so Zhang Dabao had no choice but to climb out of the window and wake up Xu Damao who was sleeping soundly in the east wing.

"Brother Damao, won't you explain?" Zhang Dabao waited for Xu Damao to put on his clothes, then pulled him to the north room.

Xu Damao fell to his knees with a thud and said, "Dabia, Xiao'e, I'm sorry, it's all my fault."

Zhang Dabao and Lou Xiao'e looked at each other, not understanding what Xu Damao was doing.

"Brother Damao, what do you mean?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"Da Biao, Xiao'e, I know I am not worthy of Xiao'e. Xiao'e is the daughter of a wealthy family and has received a comprehensive education, while I am just a film projectionist and know nothing. You and Da Biao are more suitable for each other," said Xu Damao.

"Brother Damao, this is not a reason. How can I go back to the yard? My two sisters are in the yard. Yu Shui and I have already met our parents. How can I face people like this? Xiao'e and your matter will be settled soon. How is she going to explain to her parents when she goes back?" Zhang Dabao was a little unhappy.

"I know all this, I have my own difficulties," said Xu Damao.

"You know it's inappropriate to do this. The key is that it will harm both of us. No matter what excuses you have, it won't work," Zhang Dabao asked Xu Damao again.

"Da Biao, Xiao'e and I have already settled our relationship. We were originally planning to get married in the fall. A few days ago, Director Lou came to my house and said that it would not be bad to get married on May Day, so the wedding date was moved up. However, my health is not good, and I cannot have sex as husband and wife. Wouldn't this harm Xiao'e? You two are in love with each other, but you have no official status. This is what I think. Xiao'e will marry me in name, but in fact she will be with you because I am sick and can't do anything." Xu Damao explained the reason.

"What's your purpose in doing this? To be a good person?" Zhang Zaibiao didn't quite believe it.

"I am sick and cannot have children. You know I only have one brother and no relatives. I can't even adopt a child, and I don't want to exterminate my family. Can you two give the child the surname Xu? I don't want people to know that I am sick, and I don't want to exterminate my family. I beg you." Xu Damao kowtowed, and his head hit the ground with a bang.

"Okay, I agree," Lou Xiao'e said.

"Thank you Xiao'e, thank you," Xu Damao said to Lou Xiao'e with tears in his eyes.

"You are a man, have you ever pushed your wife to someone else's?" Lou Xiao'e stood up and scolded Xu Damao.

"I really have no choice. Besides, Da Biao is not a stranger, he is my good brother. He looks better than me and is in good health. You also have topics to talk about..." Xu Damao started to talk again.

"I'm not blind, so I don't need you to tell me who else knows about Xu Damao?" Lou Xiao'e asked.

"My parents also know about it, and they definitely won't tell anyone. They moved out as soon as we got married, and my mother also lives here after we had a child. She takes care of the child during the day and goes home at night," Xu Damao explained.

"Your family is so calculating," Lou Xiao'e said sarcastically.

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly and did not answer.

Chapter 161 Competition

After Xu Damao comforted Lou Xiao'e, he looked at his watch and saw that it was getting late, so he went out to buy breakfast. Zhang Dabao and Lou Xiao'e were left in the room again.

"Xiao'e, you are so nice." Zhang Dabao walked over and hugged Lou Xiao'e in his arms.

Lou Xiao'e didn't say anything and hugged Zhang Dabao tightly. She could accept this situation. Her mother was a concubine who was promoted to a regular wife. The former first wife went abroad with her brothers when the country was liberated.

After a tender moment, Zhang Dashi went to the kitchen to boil some hot water for Lou Xiaoe to wash up. Xu Damao also came back with some buns. After a silent breakfast, Xu Damao took Lou Xiaoe away.

Zhang Dabao remembered that he had an appointment with Zhang Weihua from Hongxing Police Station, so he rode his motorcycle to Hongxing Police Station.

"Da Biao, if you don't come again, the guys will think you are scared," Zhang Weihua started to provoke.

"Uncle Zhang, if you say so, I will not show mercy," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"No need to show mercy, go outside." Zhang Weihua and Zhang Dabao came to the open space in front of the kitchen, where more than a dozen young men were already waiting.

"Who will come first?" Zhang Weihua asked the young men from the police station.

"I'll do it," a young man in his twenties stood up.

"Geng Hao, please give me some advice," the young man said and rushed forward, protecting his face with his left hand and punching Zhang Dabao with his right hand.

"Too slow," Zhang Dabao said. He grabbed Geng Hao's right hand with one hand and pulled it upwards. He then kicked his leg with one foot. Geng Hao flew up. Zhang Dabao pushed forward with his other hand. Geng Hao flew out five or six meters without getting hurt, but everyone knew that he was too far away.

Geng Hao walked to the back of the team awkwardly. At this time, another young man walked out of the team, "Bao Youwei, please give me some advice." After saying that, he raised his two hands above his head, one in front and one behind, and stood with his two splits. Zhang Dabao knew at a glance that this man had practiced it before.

"I've practiced for a few years," Zhang Dabao laughed and made a side kick. Bao Youwei also saw that Zhang Dabao wanted to kick him on the left side of the face. He tried to block with his left hand, but failed and was kicked down.

"I'm far from being able to match such great power," Bao Weiyou admitted defeat immediately.

"Aren't you capable? What about your skills? If you don't agree, come out and try it yourself." Zhang Weihua got angry at the police officers, cursed them, and then disbanded the team.

"Da Biao, where did you learn Kung Fu?" Zhang Weihua asked curiously when they arrived at the director's office.

"My father taught me this. After killing so many enemies in the army, I gained my own insights," said Zhang Dabao.
