Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"Did you see that? This is where the eldest brother and sister-in-law are smart. You think so, do your children think so too? Do you still want to maintain your reputation? What do people think of you? Can you live a good life if you find a wife from the city? They can't think of these, or they don't want to know." Zhang Dabao said.

"Go ahead, I'll give this to you, give this to the other person." Zhang Dabao took out a watch from his pocket and gave it to Zhang Shouan. He admired his second nephew very much, and he knew himself. You didn't forget your roots even after you became a regular employee. What's so great about you becoming a regular employee? Aren't you just an ordinary worker? You don't have a house in the city, you have no education, and you are introverted. You don't know when you will get a house. How can you find a good wife with such conditions?

"Uncle, I can't take your things," Zhang Shouan said.

"Take it. The fact that she is willing to be with you when you have nothing shows that she is a good person. You should remember how good she is to you. Go quickly," Zhang Dabao said to Zhang Shouan.

"Okay, thank you, uncle." Zhang Shouan's eyes turned red again. He was afraid of crying and being laughed at by Zhang Dazheng and Zhang Shouying, so he got out of the car quickly.

In the past, when Zhang Shouan came to Zhengjia Village, he always waited near Zheng Hong’s house. He was afraid that Zheng Hong’s family would say something about him. But now that he has become a formal worker in the steel rolling mill, Zhang Shouan has become more confident. This time he went directly to Zheng Hong’s house.

"Zhang Shouan, what are you doing at my house?" Zheng Hong's third brother had just come back from the fields and was washing his face in the yard. He saw Zhang Shouan push open the door and come in.

"Third brother, I'm looking for Xiaohong. I have something to say to her," said Zhang Shouan.

"Get out of here now. What is there to talk about with him? There is nothing in his house. There are only three rooms and one kang. How can I live my life if I marry you?" Zheng Laosan said.

"Third brother, why are you talking to Shouan?" Zheng Hong also came back from the fields, followed by her parents.

"Uncle, aunt," Zhang Shouan hurried forward to greet them.

"Shou'an is here, please come in and sit down. Didn't you go to the city to work as a temporary worker? Have you finished your work?" Zheng's father was still very polite and invited Zhang Shou'an to sit down in the house.

"Uncle, I came back for something and I have to go back to the factory. I came to talk to Xiaohong. My uncle is waiting for me on the road," said Zhang Shouan.

"Your uncle? Zhang Dabao? Why don't you invite him to our house?" said Zheng's father.

"Next time, he has other things to do in Beijing." Zhang Shouan smiled and left the yard with Zheng Hong.

"Xiaohong, this is for you." Zhang Shouan stuffed the watch into Zheng Hong's hand.

"Why did you buy such expensive things? You can't spend all your money when you have nothing at home?" Zheng Hong said anxiously.

"Xiaohong, accept it. This is what my uncle gave me. He asked me to give it to you. He said I had nothing, but you were still willing to follow me. You asked me to remember your kindness," said Zhang Shouan.

"I'm so sorry to ask your uncle's things." Zheng Hong's face turned a little red.

"Xiaohong, I went back to the village today to handle the formalities. I was recruited by the factory and became a formal worker. In three months, I will be 20 years old and will be a regular employee. Then I will come to marry you," said Zhang Shouan, grabbing Zheng Hong's hand.

"Really? That's great, Shouan, I'll wait for you." Zheng Hong kissed Zhang Shouan, then ran back home shyly.

Zhang Shouan touched his face and left with a sweet smile.

"Little sister, what does Zhang Shouan want to see you for?" asked Zheng Laosan.

"He gave me something," said Zheng Hong.

"What is it? Let me see it." Zheng Laosan walked up to his sister. "Watch? Where did Zhang Shouan get this thing? Did he steal it?"

"Third brother, I will ignore you if you keep talking nonsense. It was given to him by his uncle. He then gave it to me," Zheng Hong said.

"His uncle, Zhang Dabao? Doesn't he have a bad relationship with Zhang Dasong?" asked Zheng Laosan.

"If he has a bad relationship with his father, what does it have to do with Shouan? Brother Shouan relied on his uncle's relationship to deliver goods in the city. Who wouldn't be envious of him in the surrounding area?" Zheng Hong said.

"You're right. Zhang Dabao is a capable man. Can he ask Zhang Shoucheng to go to the city to deliver some goods? It's not that I dislike him, but he has separated from the family now and has nothing at home. Zhang Dasong and his wife can't be relied on. If you marry him, your life will not be easy," Zheng Laosan persuaded his sister.

"Shou'an is now a formal worker in the steel rolling mill. He came back to the village today to handle the formalities. He said he would come back to marry me after he was converted to a regular employee," Zheng Hong said angrily to her brother.

"Are you ashamed? You're just a grown-up girl and you're getting married." Zheng Hong's mother also finished washing her face and came over.

"I won't talk to you anymore." Zheng Hong was shy and ran back to her room.

As soon as Zhang Shouan got in the car, Zhang Shouying began to ask him, "Second brother, have you made it clear with Sister-in-law Xiaohong? Did you hold her hand? Is her hand comfortable to touch?"

"Get lost!" Zhang Shouan was also shy.

As they wasted some time in Zhengjia Village, they could not submit the recruitment form today. Zhang Dabao led the three of them to a small restaurant. Seeing that Zhang Shouying was a smart man, he invited the three of them to dinner and arranged for them to do a task. He gave them instructions again and again. When Zhang Shouying fully understood what he meant, Zhang Dabao sent the three of them back to the factory. As soon as they got to work tomorrow, they had to submit the recruitment form first, and then he would wait for them at the factory gate and go to do business after picking them up.

Liu Huijuan is now worried about her son. She doesn't know what kind of magic potion that girl has given him to make him want to find her. She even went to the post office to take a look. She looked bad at first glance. She was so tall, taller than her son. Is this reasonable? The most important thing is that Gong is too thin. She looks easy to give birth. Can such a daughter-in-law give birth to a son? She only has one son. Can she not give birth to more grandchildren?

But her son has been spoiled since he was young and is not obedient. Liu Huijuan has no way to deal with her son. She goes out to buy vegetables at 9 am. She has a bad temper and always goes out alone. Normally, the vegetables at this time are not fresh, but her eldest daughter is at the market, so she always keeps them for her. Therefore, she goes out late and always gets the best vegetables in the market.

As she took the dishes and walked forward, someone called out to her, "Female donor, please stop for a moment." Liu Huijuan looked back and saw a young man in tattered clothes calling her.

"You called me?" Liu Huijuan asked.

"It's you. Come over and say a few words. I can help you resolve the doubts in your mind," said the young man.

Liu Huijuan came from the village and was very supportive of fortune-telling. However, the man in front of her was too young and she was a little bit hesitant to believe it. But when she heard that it could solve her doubts and it happened on the street, she walked over.

"How old are you? Is the calculation accurate?" Liu Huijuan asked.

"Have you heard of reincarnation? In each life, the age you live is different, the things you experience are different, and the identity you become is also different. To tell you the truth, I am more than 800 years old," the young man said to her.

She had heard of reincarnation, but she had never seen it. Was there no such legend in that village? So Liu Huijuan chose to believe it.
