Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

Zhang Dabao thought for a while and then smiled.

"Old Yan lost more than 20 yuan and was almost killed by the pain. But he was at fault first, so we'll let it go and I won't tell your grandmother about it. But it's wrong for you to take other people's things, and it also caused great losses to Old Yan. Let me give you a task. You can earn money from this task. When you have the money, find a way to make up to the Yan family," said Zhang Dabao.

"What mission?" Banggeng was very interested.

"Xinsheng will be going on a business trip in a few days, and there will be no one to raise his geese. So I will buy a few more geese and you will be responsible for raising them. We will share the eggs they lay equally. For example, if they lay four eggs a day, you can take two, and Xinsheng and I can take two. We are not at home, so you can keep them for now. Your mother wants to eat the goose eggs now, and so does sister-in-law Xiao'e. In a few days, your great aunt might also want to eat them. I will charge you a fee, and you can keep the money. I heard that you like to ask adults for pocket money the most. Can the money you ask be the same as the money you earn yourself? It is so comfortable to spend the money you earn yourself," said Zhang Dabao.

"I did it. This task is too good. An egg is five cents each now. A goose egg is this big, so it should be at least twenty cents each. Four eggs a day would be eighty cents..." Then Banggeng started to count the money. After counting for a while, he took off his shoes and even counted his toes, but he couldn't come to a conclusion no matter how much he counted.

"Banggeng, Yushui is a professional accountant. If you can't figure it out, you can ask her to do it for you, and then just treat her to a goose egg." Zhang Dabao looked at Banggeng who was caught up in the frenzy and reminded him quickly.

After talking with Banggeng and finishing his meal, he happily went to the yard to play some unknown game with Niu Xiaozheng and the others, just running back and forth in the yard, and every child was sweating. Zhang Dabiao saw Yan Jiedi there too, so he called her over.

"Jie Di, I plan to dig sweet potatoes next Sunday. I told you that you would come to help. I told you in advance so don't forget," said Zhang Dabao.

"Brother Dabiao, I've been waiting to help you. I'm very capable now," said Yan Jiedi.

"I'm more capable," said Guo Xiaobao.

The "I'm more capable than you" joke is here too.

"Okay, let's add Guangfu, Jie Kuang, and a few of you, and we'll dig together. I'll treat everyone to a good meal then." Zhang Dabao made an appointment with the children, and then left the yard. The children cheered because they had the opportunity to eat good food again by going to Zhang Dabao's house to help.

I promised to buy a few more geese, so I must do it. When Zhang Dabiao and Xu Damao went to Wangjiaqiao last time, they saw many families raising geese in that village. He is now the head of the Second Supply and Marketing Section of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and has purchasing power. I will buy a few today. If I can't raise any, I can stew them in an iron pot and they will be delicious.

I looked at the time. It was a little past noon. If I went now, I would drive faster. When I reached the mountain road, I would put away the motorcycle and run faster than the motorcycle. Then I would be there around four or five o'clock. After putting away my things, I would come back early in the evening.

Zhang Dabao started his motorcycle tricycle and headed towards Wangjiaqiao as soon as he said he would.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, they arrived at Wangjiaqiao Village. Since he had been there twice before, Zhang Dabao went straight into the village office, found the village chief Wang, and presented him with two bottles of Erguotou that he had brought with him.

"Purchasing Zhang, you haven't been here for a long time. The villagers are all looking forward to your coming. What are you recycling?" Village Chief Wang said happily, feeling a little embarrassed with the wine in his hand.

"I won't accept anything. Doesn't your village raise geese? Can you give me a few geese? Our unit is going to entertain some guests from the Northeast, and they like to eat goose stewed in an iron pot," said Zhang Dabao.

"Big geese? No problem. I have two geese at home, and several of my nephews' families have some too. How many do you want?" asked Village Chief Wang.

"The more the better. I'm not afraid of too much, I'm just afraid of too little. I'll take as much as you can. I've brought enough money and tickets, don't worry. I'll take other things too. Since you're here, I'll take them." Zhang Dabao patted his pocket.

"I'll shout it through the loudspeaker." Village chief Wang was very enthusiastic about Zhang Dabao because the price he offered was fair and he didn't mind if he got a penny more. It was more cost-effective than selling it in the city by his fellow villagers.

After Village Chief Wang shouted through the loudspeaker for a few minutes, villagers came to the village office with all kinds of things, including dried rabbits, dried chickens, eggs, goose eggs, walnuts, chestnuts, Chinese medicinal materials, salvia miltiorrhiza, bupleurum... all kinds of supplies.

I was busy from five o'clock to seven in the evening and collected a full cart of things, with a dozen geese hanging on the back.

Village chief Wang was busy running around. Zhang Dabao gave him two more boxes of cigarettes, refused the villagers' offer of food, then started his motorcycle and left the village.

When they arrived outside the village, Zhang Dabao put all the supplies in the carriage into the space, including the motorcycle, and held the collected goose in his hand.

He started running. He ran much faster than riding a motorcycle. After a while of running, the speed of a cultivator in the Foundation Establishment Stage was perfectly demonstrated in the mountainous area at night. It was not an exaggeration to describe it as lightning fast. Even the goose in his hand was so scared that it could not make a sound.

It felt like only a short while had passed and the capital city was right in front of him. Zhang Dabao stopped, took out his tricycle, put the frightened goose in the car, and rode back to Yard 95.

It was not yet nine o'clock when I returned to the courtyard, and the people who were enjoying the cool air had not yet left.

"Da Biao, are you going to the countryside?" Yan Bugui, who was at the gate of the courtyard, came over to greet them as the car just got off. He heard the cries of the geese on the car.

"Teacher Yan, go collect a few geese," said Zhang Dabao.

"Dabao, you have to keep this thing well. It's more expensive than a chicken. You can never find it back if you lose it. I lost two old hens a few days ago, the kind that lay two eggs a day." Seeing Zhang Dabao's geese, Yan Bugui thought of his own chickens.

"It's okay. I'm locked in the cross-yard and can't run away. This thing can't fly. Teacher Yan's big goose can guard the house. It will call when someone comes in and can also go up and pick up the person. Most people can't handle a dozen geese," said Zhang Dabia with a smile.

"Guangtian, go call Banggeng and Dongxu and tell them that Banggeng's big goose has arrived," Zhang Dabao said to Liu Guangtian who was sitting next to him.

After hearing this, Liu Guangtian agreed and went to the backyard.

"Da Biao, is this for Banggeng?" Yan Bugui didn't quite understand.

"Banggeng wanted to make money on his own, so he teamed up with me to feed the geese. I provided the geese and he was responsible for feeding them. When the eggs were laid, Xinsheng and I split half, and Banggeng kept the other half." Zhang Dabao explained.

"With so many geese, can we eat all the eggs they lay?" Yan Bugui asked enviously.

"It's not necessary to raise all of them. Just a few will be enough. Geese can eat a lot of things, and he can't raise too many by himself. There are also a few geese that don't lay eggs. They will be eaten when there is a reception at the factory." Zhang Dabao and Yan Bugui were talking to each other when Jia Dongxu, He Yuzhu, Huang Xinsheng and Jia Geng arrived.
