Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

After arriving at Yan Jingda's home, everyone brewed some tea and listened to Zhang Dabao talk about Yan Jingkai's situation. Zhang Dabao told everyone that Yan Jingkai lived a good life, with good food and a good place to live, but he couldn't go out casually because the nature of his work was different.

Then, Zhang Dabao listened to everyone talking about their family's situation. The Yan family was large and prosperous. Although it was a difficult time now, mountain villages also had their advantages, that is, they could find food in the mountains. The village also planted a lot of sweet potatoes this year, and although the harvest was not good, it was not enough to starve people to death.

After lunch, accompanied by Yan Fangwen, Yan Fangwu and Yan Fangbin, they came to the Yan family's ancestral tomb and paid homage to Yan Jingkai's ancestors, his parents, wife and children. Zhang Dabao took photos of the cemetery, which he would take back to show Yan Jingkai.

After returning from the cemetery, accompanied by my three uncles Yan Fangwen, Yan Fangwu and Yan Fangbin, I went to visit my three aunts.

Yan Jingkai's father was the eldest of three sons. His second uncle had a daughter named Yan Jingmei, who married into the neighboring Liujia Village. Also in the same village was his third uncle's youngest daughter, Yan Jingxing.

When Zhang Dabao and his four companions followed the path to Liujia Village, it was exactly three o'clock in the afternoon. People had not yet gone to work, so Yan Jingmei and Yan Jingxing were at home.

"Fang Wen, why are you here? Is there something wrong at home?" Yan Fangwen asked Yan Fangwu to go to his aunt's house to say hello in advance. He and Yan Fangbin brought Zhang Dabao to Yan Jingmei's house. When the aunt saw her nephew, she felt a little worried. It wasn't a festival, and the nephew came, so there must be something wrong.

"Aunt, of course there is something. This is my uncle's grandson Yan Ming. He came from Beijing. My uncle misses you. Remember him to come and see you." Yan Fangwen introduced Zhang Dabao.

"Your uncle's grandson? In Beijing? Are you talking about my uncle's eldest brother? Is he still alive?" Yan Jingmei was a little excited.

"Aunt, my grandfather is still alive and living a good life, but he is old and has some concerns about his family," Zhang Dabao said.

"Are you Xiaoyong's son?" Yan Jingmei asked.

"I was adopted by my grandfather. He only has one son, so Yan Fangyong is naturally my father." What could Zhang Dabao say at this time?

Yan Jingmei and her eldest nephew Yan Fangyong are of the same age and have been very close since childhood. However, she did not expect that her nephew would die young. Now that she sees his descendants, she is naturally very happy.

Zhang Dabao presented a gift, but Yan Jingmei refused without thinking, "Xiao Ming, your expenses in Beijing are high. How much will it cost to bring so many things from so far away? Your grandfather is old, and you are not young either. You need money right now. I will be very happy if you can come to see me and let me know that my brother is still alive and well. You can take the things back when you leave."

"Aunt, this is specially arranged by grandpa. I brought one for each of your families from Beijing. It would be inappropriate to take them back. Grandpa is still working for the country, has an income, and lives a good life. I also have a job. This is also our gift." Zhang Dabao persuaded Yan Jingmei to accept it.

After talking for a while, Zhang Dabao invited Yan Jingmei and her family to visit Yanjia Village tomorrow morning and take a family photo for everyone. He would let Yan Jing open it to see it when they return. Yan Jingmei happily agreed.

After leaving Yan Jingmei's house, they came to Yan Jingxing's house. Yan Jingxing is in her thirties this year. She has almost no impression of Yan Jingkai because she was only five years old when Yan Jingkai left home. She had long lost some of her impressions of her eldest brother. She only heard from her elders and brothers and sisters that an eldest brother went out and joined the army. He had not returned for many years and she didn't know whether he was alive or dead. She thought to herself that her eldest brother might have passed away a long time ago. After all, war is cruel.

Unexpectedly, her nephew told her this afternoon that her eldest brother's grandson had returned from the capital and wanted to see her, which made her very happy. Who doesn't want their relatives to be alive?

"Aunt, I'm Yan Ming," Zhang Dabao presented a gift.

"Xiao Ming, right? Come and sit down. How is your brother now? I was still a child when he left home. Twenty years have passed in a blink of an eye, and I now have three children." Yan Jingxing began to cry while speaking. Maybe this is the feeling of blood is thicker than water.

"Grandpa is living a very good life, but he misses home a little." Zhang Dabao repeated what he had just said at Yan Jingmei's house.

Since they also had to visit their second aunt Yan Jingxiang, after chatting for a few words, Zhang Dabao also extended an invitation, inviting Yan Jingxiang's family to visit Yanjia Village tomorrow, and then he and Yan Fangwen and the other two would set off for Baojia Village.

Baojia Village is a small village, almost at the top of the mountain. There are only a dozen households, most of whom are surnamed Bao. Only Yan Jingxiang's husband's family came later and is the only family in the village with the surname Yang.

"Xiao Ming, the people in Baojia Village are really bad. They often bully Second Aunt's family. My brother and I have beaten them up several times, but they just won't change," Yan Fangwu said to Zhang Dabao.

"Uncle San, when you beat someone, you have to hurt him so that he will change. It's useless to beat him neither too hard nor too lightly," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"Of course there is no problem with beating them, but I'm mainly afraid of causing trouble for my second aunt's family," said Yan Fangwu.

The four of them walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they were almost at the entrance of Baojia Village.

"Yan Fangwu, how dare you come to our village?" When the three were almost at the entrance of the village, three young men saw them and stopped the group of four on the road. One of them, who was wearing long-sleeved clothes, asked Yan Fangwu loudly.

"Is this the road to your home? I came here just because I wanted to. Who do you think you are?" Yan Fangwu said.

"Fang Zhengwu, how dare you talk to my brother like that? Are you looking for death?" another young man started cursing.

"You piece of shit, fuck your mother." When Yan Fangwu heard someone scolding him, of course he didn't hold back and started scolding directly.

"I think this bastard is looking for death. Second brother, go get some people to kill all these bastards from the Yan family today," the first person who spoke to Yan Fangwu said to someone next to him.

"Yan Fangwu, if you have the guts, don't run." After instructing the brothers around him, he turned around and provoked Yan Fangwu.

"I run away? Today won't be over until I beat the shit out of you," Yan Fangwu said as he wanted to go forward and hit him.

"Uncle San, wait, they are not all here. Let's get rid of them all at once today to avoid trouble for us in the future. You just watch me today and I will do it myself. After the fight, I will go to the capital and they won't be able to find me." Zhang Dabao could see that there was a big conflict between the Yan family and the Bao family.

I came here to solve the problem, so I just helped to the end and solved these hidden dangers.

"Xiao Ming, you are the junior, there is no need for you to take action. Besides, these people are very vicious. Bao Shi, who just scolded Fang Wu, has a grudge against us and it is not good for him to hurt you," Yan Fangwen said.

"Uncle, I am also very fierce when I beat people," Zhang Dabao said with a smile.

"Xiao Ming, fighting is no joke. You are the only child in my uncle's family, and I can't let anything happen to you." Yan Fangwu also came over to persuade.

Zhang Dabao smiled and said nothing.
