Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

The news that Ji Denian was reported to the municipal government as the only candidate for deputy district mayor and that Cui Xin was removed from his position as director and transferred to the second line spread quickly throughout the Dongcheng District government agencies the next morning. Even Qin Huairu, who worked at the neighborhood committee, heard about it.

"I didn't expect Director Ji Denian to be promoted to deputy district mayor," said Aunt Liu.

"Aunt Liu, does Director Ji's girlfriend work at the post office?" Qin Huairu thought of a person named Lin Hua.

"Yes, do you know him?" Aunt Liu asked Qin Huairu in surprise.

"My boyfriend goes to work at the post office, and it was Section Chief Lin Hua who arranged for him to do so. Director Ji and Dongxu's seventh uncle are friends," Qin Huairu said.

"You are so lucky to have such good relatives. Powerful leaders like Director Ji are all friends. Now it's even better. Director Ji will become Deputy District Chief in the future, and his words will have more final say," Aunt Liu said enviously.

"You said your mother-in-law is a blessed person. Your father-in-law's name really lives up to her. Is she blessed?" Sister Chu on the other side said with a smile.

"How can you say Jia Youfu was a blessed man? He died before the liberation, and Huairu hadn't married us at that time. But he was very good to your mother-in-law. If there was anything delicious, he would not eat it himself and would give it to his wife and children. But he fell ill and passed away. If he could live until now, he would be considered a blessed person," said Aunt Liu.

Several people discussed the lives of Jia Youfu and Zhang Cuihua when they were young.

At noon, when Jia Dongxu came back from get off work, he hurried to the backyard and said, "Seventh Uncle, Director Ji has been promoted."

"That Director Ji? Stop talking halfway," Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"Jidenian, Section Chief Lin Hua's girlfriend," said Jia Dongxu.

"Uncle Ji you are talking about, has it been announced so soon?" Zhang Dabao asked Jia Dongxu.

"I don't know about this. When we were having lunch, several people told me, wasn't I assigned to the institute by Section Chief Lin? They thought I had a relationship with Director Ji," said Jia Dongxu.

"Of course it doesn't matter. Didn't you have dinner with them?" Zhang Dabao asked his nephew with a smile.

"That's because they're giving you face. If you're not here, would they have dinner with me? He's the leader, a director who is two levels higher than our director." Jia Dongxu saw this matter very clearly.

Zhang Dabao smiled and patted Jia Dongxu on the shoulder.

"Dongxu, perform well. When Uncle Ji comes to dinner again, I'll ask Aunt Lin to promote you to a higher level. Try to become a team leader first," Zhang Dabao encouraged Jia Dongxu.

"What if a team leader is responsible for three postmen? I need to practice first." Jia Dongxu immediately became nervous when he heard that.

Zhang Dabiao almost died of laughter when he saw his nephew like this. What kind of person is this? He is nervous even when managing three people. If you were a company commander, wouldn’t you have to urinate every day?

Ji De Nian had also heard the news, and at the same time, there was news that Cui Xin had gone to the second line. It was too sudden, and I didn't have much hope. Even if Zhang Dabiao had informed Liu Qingchao in advance that he had a crush on me, I had thought of many ways, but there was no way to break the situation. I didn't expect Cui Zhong to do such a cruel thing. It was really God's help.

Ji Denian knew that the more critical the moment, the more calm he had to remain. In the face of everyone's congratulations, he acted extremely calm, as if he was completely unfazed.

A day after the incident, a deputy director of the Municipal Government's Organization Department came to the Dongcheng District Government and issued a notice appointing Jidenian as deputy district mayor.

Jidenian handed over the work at hand to the deputy director, and moved his office from the Materials Bureau to the district government.

"Lao Lin, I always feel that something is wrong about this matter," Jidenian said after returning home after finishing his social activities.

"What's wrong?" Lin Hua was also happy. It was difficult for his wife to get to this point, and it was even more difficult to move forward. Every step was full of danger.

"I always feel like someone pushed us. We all know Cui Zhong. Can a stupid guy with a portrait on his head kill people in the street?" Ji Denian said.

"Don't think too much, just face the reality now, and we can talk about it later if there is anything." Lin Hua stopped Jidenian.

"Okay," sighed the elder Jide.

It is now June, and it is quite hot in Beijing in June. We dare not move at all. We sweat all over if we move. After lunch, everyone listened to the radio in front of Zhang Dabao's door and fanned themselves with palm-leaf fans.

"Da Biao, I have something I want to ask you now," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Just say it directly. Are you still embarrassed?" Zhang Zaibiao looked at his elder sister and said.

"It's not my business, it's Liu Lan's business," Zhang Cuihua said a little embarrassedly.

"Liu Lan's matter? What does she want? Does she want money?" Zhang Dabao naturally knew the relationship between Liu Lan and Li Huaide.

"Why does she ask us for money? We are the younger generation. It's her boyfriend who beats her every day," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Isn't your Women's Federation in charge of this matter?" Zhang Dabao said.

"The Women's Federation has also tried to persuade him, and his attitude is very good, but he just won't change. I also want to lock him up, but how long can he be kept in the factory? It won't solve the problem fundamentally," said Zhang Cuihua.

"Do you still want to solve this problem once and for all?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Of course, we are all relatives now, so we will help if we can," said Zhang Cuihua.

He Yuzhu on the side laughed, "Do you want to kill him or lock him up?"

"Zhu Zi, do you have a solution?" Zhang Cuihua asked in surprise.

"There are too many ways. Liu Lan's boyfriend likes to play cards. We send someone to monitor him. When he goes to play cards, we notify the police station to catch the gambler. No matter who protects him, we can just lock him up," said He Yuzhu.

"How many days can he be imprisoned for gambling? The security department can also imprison him for a month. What kind of solution is this?" Zhang Cuihua looked at He Yuzhu with contempt.

"You guys go inside and talk, and Dongxu should follow along, so as not to teach Banggeng bad lessons," said Zhang Dabao.

"Let me tell you something harsh again." He Yuzhu and Zhang Cuihua, mother and son, came to Zhang Dabao's living room.

"Silly Zhu, what good idea do you have?" Jia Dongxu didn't believe in He Yuzhu's wisdom at all.

"Liu Lan's girlfriend often goes to a half-open door on the street. What's her name?" He Yuzhu asked Zhang Cuihua.

"Who is that? Xiao Chuchu. The child was aborted a long time ago and we don't know whose it is. Why does she keep it? It affects her business." Zhang Cuihua is truly worthy of being the number one lady in Hongxing Street. There is nothing she doesn't know about what's happening in the street.

"By the way, give Xiao Chuchu a hundred yuan. When Liu Lan's boyfriend comes out, she screams for help. We go to rescue her and send her directly to the police station. The minimum sentence for rape is seven or eight years," said He Yuzhu.
