Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Zhang Dabao left the steel mill and looked at his watch. It was almost noon, so he decided to go home, eat something and take a nap. He would then go back and find out about Deputy Director Han of the Metallurgical Bureau and see if he could get the director to pull him down and promote Yang Weihua.

Xiaodang is now walking more and more steadily. When he saw Zhang Dabao entering the yard from a distance, he ran over, calling "Grandpa, Grandpa" as he ran. He is very likable to watch.

Zhang Dabao was afraid that Xiaodang would fall, so he took two steps forward. He picked up Xiaodang, kissed her on the face, and praised her, saying, "Xiaodang runs so fast." Xiaodang giggled.

"Can we have a good meal at noon today?" Zhang Dabao asked Xiaodang.

"Eat well," Xiaodang answered happily and laughed even more happily.

"I'll listen to Xiaodang. Let's go." Zhang Dabao carried Xiaodang to his room in the backyard, and Qin Jingru followed behind.

"Xiaodang and Jingru, eat the peach cakes first. I'll go make you something delicious." Zhang Dabao put Xiaodang on a chair and gave each of them a peach cake. Xiaodang started to eat it directly. Qin Jingru was a little embarrassed to eat it.

"Eat, there's some more on the table. Take it yourself when you're done." Zhang Dabao smiled, turned around and went out to the kitchen.

Zhang Dabao is a fast cook. He steamed egg custard for Xiaodang. He and Qin Jingru ate meat buns taken out from the space and drank millet porridge.

Zhang Dabao fed Xiaodang first, one spoonful at a time. Xiaodang ate all the egg custard made from two eggs. After she finished eating, she still held the peach pastry in her hand and ate it. The peach pastry was very hard at that time, and she was small and her teeth had not grown fully yet, so it took her a long time to eat and she didn't finish even a corner of the peach pastry.

Before the three of them finished their meal, Banggeng came back.

"Is Banggeng leaving school so early today?" Zhang Dabao asked, and then gestured for him to wash his hands first. He then gave him a few meat buns and served him some porridge.

"Seventh uncle, today is Sunday, so there is no school. I was just playing games with Xiaozheng and the others. My grandma went out to propose marriage, so she's not at home. My dad and mom also went out, saying they were going to the department store, and they didn't take me with them. They asked me to stay at home and play with my sister. What's fun in playing with my sister? She's so young, she just needs my aunt to play with her. My dad is afraid of taking me out and spending money, so he doesn't want to take me with him," Banggeng explained, and then started eating the meat buns.

"It's meat buns again, they're so delicious. I love eating meat, so I must eat them all and not leave any for my dad. It's his fault for not taking any for me," Bang Geng said.

Qin Jingru finished her meal and went out with Xiaodang because Xiaodang started yawning and it was time for her nap.

"Banggeng, where did the old hens you sold last Sunday come from?" Zhang Dabao asked as he watched Banggeng wolfing down his food.

"Seventh Uncle, do you know?" Banggeng quickly swallowed the bun in his mouth.

"Is there anyone who still goes to the recycling station to sell old hens? The price there is more than half cheaper than the black market? If you go to Jiaodaokou to sell them, no one will notice?" Zhang Dabao said.

"I took it from Yan Laokou's family. He complained about me at school, saying that I ate shit and forced my classmates to eat shit. Yan Laokou and I are from the same courtyard. I even call him Third Grandpa every day. Look, is this something a human being would do? Of course I have to take revenge on him," said Banggeng.

"Teacher Yan said you eat shit?" Zhang Dabao was a little confused. What did this make sense?

"It's the fruit you just brought back from a business trip. It smells bad but tastes delicious. I asked you how you ate it in the evening. But my dad, my grandma, my mom, and my sister and aunt didn't want to eat it either. I had no choice but to bring it to school because it would smell bad if eaten in the classroom. We ate it in the toilet, and Yan Laokou happened to see it. He refused to listen to any explanation and insisted on telling the principal. Isn't this crazy?" Banggeng is still angry when he talks about it.

"You took his chicken, didn't he look for it? It's not like Yan Bugui to look for it two or three times. Did you hide it?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"After I took it, I went to the backyard, put it in a bag, then climbed over the wall and put it in your yard in Chunfeng Hutong. I sold it the next day, and it was seen by Uncle Cao from the police station." Banggeng said it lightly, but his words contained a lot of information.

He is only a seven-year-old child, but he has such a thorough action plan and is so brave. He can go to Chunfeng Hutong from No. 95 Courtyard in the middle of the night. Is he a normal person? Even adults don't dare to do it. But Bang Geng not only dared to do it, but also succeeded. Is he born to do this? Did the thief gene in his bones appear?

"Banggeng, do you think it's okay to take other people's things?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"It's not good, but what can we do? Yan Laokou is the one who values ​​money the most. He won't feel bad even if you beat him up. But he will feel very sad when he loses something," Banggeng explained.

"What if Liu Haizhong offended you?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"If it was Liu Haizhong, we shouldn't have taken his chicken. He wouldn't feel bad if his chicken was taken, as he doesn't care much about material things. But he is obsessed with power, even more than my father. I will find his leader and ask someone to write a letter to the steel mill to report Liu Haizhong and make sure he can't get his job as an official," Bang Geng said again.

Zhang Dabiao was stunned. A seven-year-old child could analyze specific problems. He was much better than Jia Dongxu. Jia Youfu himself had seen him, but he didn't have this ability. Could it be that his talent was inherited from the previous generation? His great-grandfather Zhang Zhifeng was very smart, but his three sons were not as smart as Zhang Cuihua. It seemed that Jia Geng inherited his great-grandfather's wisdom.

"Bang Geng, you know it's not good to take other people's things. That's right. Don't take other people's things in the future. If you take it again and I find out, I will beat you. You also know that I really hit people. I kicked your father Jia Dongxu and he made him fall down. You are so young and if I really hit you, you may not be able to bear it. By the way, haven't you heard? After Old Yan lost his chickens, he was so angry that he fainted at the door. When he went to the black market to buy chickens again, he was caught." Zhang Dabao said to Bang Geng.

"It was me and Uncle Cao who talked about the black market. I knew that they would definitely arrest people once they found out about the scale of the black market. Yan Laokou wanted to buy a chicken as a gift, so he would definitely go buy another one after losing the chicken. He deserved to be arrested. Let's forget about his reporting this time. If he annoys me again, I will not let him off," Bang Geng said, looking out the window.

Zhang Dabiao thought of what Cao Lianbiao had said at the police station. Banggeng also said the black market thing. Now he understood that he did it on purpose to get Yan Bugui arrested. It was really scary that a child was smarter than Jia Dongxu.
