Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

With the ice, the temperature in the house dropped. Zhang Lianhua, Huang Xinsheng, the Jia family and the Xu family in the backyard all had a good rest. Zhang Dabao naturally had a good rest as well. He went to Xu's house to play cards for a while, then returned home and slept until dawn. When he opened the door, Jia Dongxu rolled in.

"Dongxu, what are you doing so early in the morning?" Zhang Dabao asked his nephew when he saw his haggard face.

"Seventh Uncle, was what you said last night true?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"You are my nephew, why would I lie to you? Of course it's true. You didn't stay awake all night, did you?" Zhang Dabao saw that Jia Dongxu's eyes were bloodshot.

"I didn't sleep well and the weather was hot. The key is that I was worried. What you said is very important to me. Our Jia family has not produced any cadres since my great-grandfather's generation," said Jia Dongxu.

"What kind of cadre is a team leader who is in charge of three people? Dongxu, are you sick? How petty is your heart?" Zhang Dabao laughed angrily.

"Seventh Uncle, this is a good start." Jia Dongxu felt a little embarrassed after hearing what Zhang Dabao said.

"Get out, go out and buy some buns. I'll ask your aunt to make some millet porridge." Zhang Dabao laughed angrily, took out some money from the house and gave it to Jia Dongxu, and also gave him a basket.

Jia Dongxu got a positive answer from his seventh uncle and jumped out.

"Da Biao, what is Dongxu doing here?" Zhang Cuihua also got up, just in time to see her son happily walking from the backyard to the middle yard.

"Dongxu is going to get a permanent job. He came to ask me if it was true. I asked him to buy some buns. Let's eat together later." After Zhang Dabao said this, he went to pee across the yard. Zhang Cuihua followed him.

"Sister, I want to go to the toilet. What are you doing?" Zhang Dabao was speechless.

"Da Biao, is it true that Dongxu has been transferred?" Zhang Cuihua wanted to verify the matter.

"Why are you two like this? Is it any use if I lie to you? This is what Section Chief Lin Hua said himself, it's true." After saying this, Zhang Dabao hurried to the cross-yard, urinated, and washed his face at the sink.

When I returned to the front of the house, I found Zhang Cuihua still standing there, "Sister, are you stupid?"

"No, I am happy. I was just worried that Dongxu wouldn't be able to do his job at the new company and would be fired. Now it's okay. After he has been converted to a regular employee, he can't be fired at will," said Zhang Cuihua.

"How much do you look down on Dongxu? He has done a good job. The leader said that he should be given more positions. Maybe he will become a cadre in the future." Zhang Dabao did not dare to tell Zhang Cuihua that Jia Dongxu was going to be the leader of the three-person team. What if Zhang Cuihua fell down due to excitement? After all, fat people usually have high blood pressure.

"Can he be a cadre? There is no smoke coming out of the Jia family's grave." Zhang Cuihua went to the middle courtyard to wash up with a look of disbelief.

"Maybe there was a burst of smoke on Jia Youfu's grave, but you didn't see it," Zhang Dabao couldn't help but said to Zhang Cuihua.

"Da Biao, talk to your elder sister?" Zhang Lianhua came out holding Jingshu.

"Yes, Dongxu is going to be converted to a regular employee, but she doesn't believe it," said Zhang Dabao.

"He was made a regular employee so quickly? It seems he is doing well in the new unit." Zhang Lianhua was also happy for her nephew.

"Let's make some millet porridge. Dongxu has gone to buy buns," Zhang Dabao took Jingshu and said to Zhang Lianhua.

"Okay, Dabiao, do you think we should change Jingshu's surname?" Zhang Lianhua asked her brother.

"Change it. He can integrate into the new family better. It will also be a comfort to Zhuzi. We can't raise the child in vain, right? He can't be bad to the child. We all live in the same courtyard. He wouldn't dare to do that." Zhang Dabao gave his suggestion.

"Yes, if it's a boy, we won't allow it to be changed, so as to leave a descendant for Youxing. But if it's a girl, forget it, as her grandmother won't look down on her. Let's change it," Zhang Lianhua made up her mind.

"Don't wait until autumn, hold the wedding early. Find someone to clean up the house first, and buy the four major items on Sunday. When the house is ready, notify your father-in-law and see who to invite. He has quite a few friends." Zhang Lianhua didn't want to have a big wedding because it was her second marriage, so Zhang Dabao advised her.

"I'll talk to Zhuzi later." Zhang Lianhua thought about it and decided to listen to Zhang Dabao's advice.

Jia Dongxu came back with the buns. After everyone had breakfast, those who needed to go to work went to work, and those who needed to go to school went to school. The yard became quiet again.

Jia Dongxu came to the unit as usual and began to sort the letters in his area. At this time, Director Shi Chulai came over and called him into the office.

"Dongxu, fill out a form and you will be converted to a regular employee," Director Shi said to Jia Dongxu.

"Thank you, leader." Jia Dongxu thanked the leader and filled out the form. After completing it, he handed it to the leader for review. After Director Shi read it, he found no problem and filled in his name in the unit's opinion section on the form.

"Dongxu, please take the form to the Dongcheng Bureau and give it to Section Chief Lin Hua later. Let's get this done today," said Director Shi.

"Okay, Director." Jia Dongxu took the watch and wanted to go out.

"Wait a moment before you go, Dongxu. Since the number of letters is increasing, the institute plans to set up a team that will be responsible for the letters to the steel mill, its family compounds and nearby areas. You've done a good job, so we intend to make you the team leader. After the personnel deployment is completed in a few days, this matter will be announced. Don't tell anyone yet, just keep it in your mind." Director Shi revealed to Jia Dongxu the news that he was about to become the team leader.

"Thank you, leader. I will do my best." Jia Dongxu didn't know how many times he thought about it last night. He didn't expect it to be true. His seventh uncle did not lie to him.

"Okay, as usual, don't tell anyone. Remember to deliver the watch to Section Chief Lin Hua first, and then deliver the letter," Director Shi Chulai instructed Jia Dongxu again.

Shi Chulai received a call this morning from Director Geng, the person in charge, who told him that Jia Dongxu had been promoted to a regular employee and that a team would be set up in the institute due to the increase in business volume.

Shi Chulai understood instantly that someone was working hard for Jia Dongxu. He knew without thinking that it was his uncle Zhang Dabiao. He had many connections and was generous. He had treated him to several meals. Even if he chose a team leader, he would definitely choose Jia Dongxu, because he was the only formal employee in the team, and it was impossible for a temporary worker to be the team leader.

Jia Dongxu's uncle was really considerate of his nephew. He was afraid that he would be difficult to manage. The team was full of newcomers and temporary workers. None of these people were difficult to manage. The troublemakers could be fired directly.

While sorting the letters, Jia Dongxu tried hard to hold back the tears in his eyes. He never thought that I, Jia Dongxu, would become a leader one day.

After leaving the Red Star Post Office, Jia Dongxu rode his bicycle to the Dongcheng Branch. He could no longer control the tears in his eyes and they flowed down his cheeks.

"Where is Dongxu's regularization form?" When he arrived at the Personnel Department of the Dongcheng Branch, Lin Hua received him warmly, signed for him, and then went to find the person in charge and the director to sign, all in less than ten minutes.

Lin Hua spoke a few more words to Jia Dongxu, implying that Zhang Dabao had made great efforts for his matter and had sought help from a senior leader.

After hearing what Lin Hua said, Jia Dongxu understood that it was his seventh uncle who did it for him, so he secretly swore in his heart that he would treat Zhang Dabao like his own father.
