Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Yang Weimin, what did you say? Let He Yuzhu embarrass himself at his wedding? What are you thinking? Are you sick?" When the Seventh Master heard what Yang Weimin said, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

"Seventh Master, aren't we from the same organization? I'm in trouble now. What's wrong with looking for help from the organization? Now that I'm back, I want to make my brother trust me again. The biggest problem now is the interference of Li Huaide, He Yuzhu, Zhang Cuihua and others. How can I not strike back at their arrogance?" Yang Weimin said to Seventh Master.

"It's not possible for Weimin. Li Huaide is the deputy factory director. He is a relative of He Yuzhu and may attend the wedding. I can't help you directly. At most, I can find a few friends in society to help you. These people are afraid of officials." Qi Ye still disagreed.

"What relative? How many turns has it taken to get to the brother-in-law of Li Huaide's cousin's son? Is he a relative? Is he so idle? Going to attend Sha Zhu's wedding? Does a deputy factory director have nothing to do?" Yang Weimin said.

"Li Huaide, are you really not going? If there are no officials attending the wedding, I can help you once, but I can't do it if there are officials present. And you must hurry up and get value for money. Where is your information?" Qi Ye relented.

"Send more people. He Yuzhu's brother-in-law is quite good at fighting," Yang Weimin reminded.

"How good are they in fighting? No matter how good their kung fu is, they will be afraid of a kitchen knife. Let them bring their weapons when the time comes," said the Seventh Master disdainfully.

"No, he can kill the wolf," Yang Weimin wanted to persuade him.

"I can kill wolves, and I have killed many wolves. Who is he? When will He Yuzhu get married?" The Seventh Master did not listen to the advice.

"Arrange someone for me in three days," said Yang Weimin.

Back at the steel rolling mill, Yang Weimin's mood improved. "Sha Zhu, Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Dabao, when the time comes, I will teach you all a lesson. Just give each of you twenty or thirty slaps on the face, and make sure to give you black and blue faces, so that you will be really embarrassed," Yang Weimin thought about it and started laughing.

He Yuzhu's wedding date was approaching, and Zhang Dabao became busy. He Yuzhu was not only his second brother-in-law, but also his future brother-in-law, so he had to be attentive to his marriage. Zhang Dabao went to Guanting Reservoir again and caught dozens of big fish. He Yuzhu used his connections in the chef community to order more than ten kilograms of meat from the meat processing factory. Zhang Cuihua asked her sisters to help and bought five big roosters.

The He family had a wedding, so there was no shortage of people to help with the cooking. Two days in advance, He Yuzhu's master, Mr. Wang Zhicheng, sent his apprentice over to finalize the wedding menu with He Yuzhu. That afternoon, they set up a clay stove in the backyard and began preparations.

The bride-picking location was too close to the backyard, so they finally decided to pick her up from where Zhang Dasen and others lived. At that time, Zhang Dasen and his friends would stop delivering goods for a day and attend the wedding as Zhang Lianhua's family.

In order to make his second sister look respectable at her wedding, Zhang Dabao borrowed Li Huaide's jeep from the steel rolling mill and the pickup truck from the mining machinery factory. In 1960, he used cars to pick up the bride, which definitely gave him face.

When borrowing a car from the mining machinery factory, Yu Sinian and his wife expressed their intention to attend He Yuzhu's wedding. Ji Denian and Lei Huanian would both take their spouses with them and would give them a heads up in advance. Zhang Dabao expressed his gratitude, knowing that this was giving him face as they were not familiar with He Yuzhu.

When they returned to Compound No. 95 in the afternoon, Cao Lianbiao came and brought gifts. They were for Zhang Weihua, Liang Fei and him. They included a washbasin, a thermos, a spittoon, and two colored pillowcases. Zhang Dabao asked Yan Bugui to write it down in the account, expressed his gratitude to the three, and invited them to attend the wedding. Cao Lianbiao agreed immediately.

Wang Xiuqin also personally sent gifts and said that she would also attend the wedding.

The day of He Yuzhu's wedding arrived, and He Daqing returned a day in advance, waiting for He Yuzhu to come back with He Yuzhu's master.

Zhang Dabao drove one car, Niu Kewu drove another car, and Huang Xinsheng drove Zhang Dabao's tricycle. They went to where Zhang Dasen and others lived and picked up Zhang Lianhua and a group of Zhang's family members.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Weihua, Li Huaide, Liu Le, Wang Cheng and Xu Sinian came. They were the first guests to arrive. Soon Ji Denian and others, Wang Xiuqin and Qiao Yongqian, Zhang Weihua, Liang Fei and Cao Lianbiao, He Daqing's sworn brothers, fellow apprentices, and old friends from the past; He Yuzhu's fellow apprentices, colleagues when he was an apprentice in the restaurant, colleagues in the factory, and a large number of section chiefs all came. Together with the neighbors, there were too many people in the entire No. 95 courtyard.

At 11 o'clock, Yang Weihua acted as the master of ceremonies and presided over their wedding ceremony. Just when the wedding ceremony was about to end, Yang Weimin came in with six burly men.

"Silly Zhu, why the hell didn't you tell me you were getting married?" A big man came to the central courtyard and started shouting.

"Who are you?" Zhang Dabao saw six people holding short sticks and with their arms bare. It was obvious that they were not good people.

"What do you care who I am?" The big man was very unhappy when he saw someone dared to come out to stop him.

"It's still not too late to leave now. You came here with Yang Weimin." Zhang Dabao was a little angry because he saw Yang Weimin behind him.

Yang Weimin was so embarrassed now. He had never expected that his cousin would not only attend He Yuzhu's wedding, but also be the master of ceremonies. "You are the deputy director of the bureau, brother? Do you still have face? What do you want me to do?"

"Weimin, what are you doing here?" Yang Weihua was also a little angry, thinking, what kind of brother is this? If I had known that you were causing trouble every day, I would have let you stay in the machine repair shop for the rest of your life.

"Brother, you are here too? I heard that Zhuzi is getting married, so I came to show my appreciation." Yang Weimin came to the account table and put a dollar on it.

"Sixth brother, Director Zhang is here too." Another big man pulled the big man who was pretending to be cool just now.

Xiong Liu followed his brother's hand and saw three old acquaintances there, Zhang Weihua, Liang Fei and Cao Lianbiao. The three of them were looking at him. They were sitting in the yard and there were two tables in the room, which meant that Zhang Weihua, a director at the section level, was not qualified to enter the room. Xiong Liu glanced inside the room and saw Director Wang Xiuqin looking at him coldly. The people sitting in the room were all dressed unusually. Who would wear a white shirt?
