Siheyuan: Happy Life of Jia Zhang Family

"There are some magical things in this world, and you should have heard of them. Yuanfang and I have offended many people. Now we suspect that someone has found some strange people to deal with us," said An Chunyang.

"A strange person?" Xiao Hai seemed to have thought of something and fell silent.

"Chun Yang, go on your journey with peace of mind. It was wrong of you to take Yuan Fang down this road. He is still a child and he doesn't understand things. Aren't you ignorant too? This is a dead end and it will be a death sentence sooner or later. I will take care of your family to the best of my ability." After Xiao Hai and An Chun Yang finished talking, they left the prison.

After returning to the office from prison, Xiao Hai sat alone behind his desk and began to think about what An Chunyang said. When a man is about to die, his words are good. Xiao Hai believed that An Chunyang was telling the truth and that his son Xiao Xuanfang might have been killed by a strange man.

Those who would deal with his son would naturally be his enemies, so Xiao Hai began to investigate Xiao Yuanfang's social relations, focusing on those who had conflicts with his son. He knew that he had mobilized the power of the organization, and the leaders above would definitely be unhappy, so he wrote another letter requesting to go home to recuperate due to health reasons. After arranging these things, Xiao Hai returned home.

"Chunhong, our fate is over. You are still young, so find another home. I can't forget the things far away, and we won't be happy even if we force ourselves to live together." Xiao Hai stopped An Chunhong from crying and spoke to her seriously.

"Old Xiao..." An Chunhong didn't want to give up such a superior life, and even more so didn't want to lose this respected identity.

"Let's do this. I plan to retire. Living far away from home was a big blow to me. I will return this place to the country. You can go. The house over at Gulou is left to you. You have a job, so you should be able to live a decent life. An Chunyang, I thought about it. After all, we are relatives. I can't forgive him, but I won't pursue his family. If you are willing to take care of them, you can do it yourself. We don't need to meet again in the future." After Xiao Hai finished talking to An Chunhong, he left the house again.

Seeing her husband so determined, An Chunhong had no other choice. He used to dote on her, but now he looked down on her. She blamed An Chunyang. If he hadn't taken his son to the black market, his son wouldn't have broken the law. And it was he who hit his son with his car. Xiao Hai could let you go, but I won't. I don't have a son, and neither can you. An Chunhong transferred all her hatred to her brother.

Of course, it was destined that her family would suffer an even more tragic fate.

The next morning, Zhang Dabao took Zhang Cuihua and her son back to his hometown. He first sent them to Jiajia Village, and then drove a pickup truck to the Zhang family's ancestral tomb.

"Uncle" Zhang Shoucheng and others are offering sacrifices here.

Zhang Dabao nodded to his nephews and brothers, came to his parents' grave, placed offerings, lit incense, and told the two old people about his situation in his heart. Finally, he assured them not to worry, and that he would definitely live a better life.

After paying respects to his parents, he kowtowed to all the ancestors and gave the paper brought by Zhang Cuihua and Zhang Lianhua to Zhang Shoucheng, asking him to burn it for his uncle Zhang Zhifeng and elder brother Zhang Dasong. "This is the paper given by your eldest aunt and your younger aunt. Go burn it for your uncle and elder brother. This is their kindness."

Zhang Shoucheng took the paper, went to the graves of his grandfather and father, lit the paper, and talked about the situation of his two aunts.

After the sacrifice was completed, everyone went to Zhang Dasen's house. One was to discuss Zhang Shouan's marriage, and the other was to have a meal together. The food used was naturally the various dishes that everyone brought from the city.

"Da Biao, Shou'an means that we don't want to have a big celebration. The weather is dry now and everyone is having a hard time. Besides, eldest brother has been gone for a short time..." Zhang Dabai spoke.

"Second brother, what do they mean? Have you asked anyone?" Zhang Dabao asked Zhang Dabai.

"My fourth uncle went there in person, and the Zheng family said they fully agreed. The parents over there are reasonable people, and as long as the children live well, they don't seek these false reputations," said Zhang Dabai.

"This is a good relative. Shouan, you have to be nicer to Xiaohong. She was willing to follow you when you had nothing. Now that you have become a worker and have a house in the city, you must not do anything to let her down," Zhang Daliu said to Zhang Shouan.

"Third brother is right. A rich man cannot change his wife, and a noble man cannot change his friends. Besides, you are neither rich nor noble now." Zhang Dabao also said the same thing to Zhang Shouan, following his third brother's words.

"I will definitely be nice to Xiaohong. I remember how she treated me. I divided her into three rooms at that time, and there was not even a table at home. Her brothers disagreed, but she insisted," Zhang Shouan said to everyone.

"It's good that you have this attitude. Tomorrow morning, I will drive to meet the new bride. Have you prepared new clothes? Even if she doesn't agree, we will still try our best to let her marry in a glorious way," Zhang Dabao asked Zhang Shouan.

"Uncle Qi, there are new clothes. There is also a watch, the one you gave her. They also prepared a set of bedding as a dowry," said Zhang Shouan.

"That's great. Do you have any candies, melon seeds, or anything like that?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"It's not that we don't want to buy, it's that we really don't have tickets. We didn't give out candy tickets last year, and we don't have tickets for melon seeds or anything like that," said Zhang Dayang.

"I'll go and prepare. I'm driving here, so I can go back and forth quickly." Zhang Dabao said.

"The thermos, washbasin, towels at home..." Everyone started talking about other details.

"It's settled. Tomorrow Shou'an, Shoucheng, fourth brother and I will go to pick up Zheng Hong. You should leave early after dinner. The trucks don't move fast. Try not to delay tomorrow's work. We will have dinner together at your place tomorrow night. We can also call your eldest sister and second sister to come over so that the whole family can have fun together. You prepare the vegetables, steamed buns, fish and other things, and I will prepare them," Zhang Dabao said to his brothers.

Everyone nodded and agreed that this was a good idea.

"Da Biao, aren't you going to get married too? Have you set a date?" Zhang Dalin asked.

"It will be held on this May Day, in our hospital. The factory will arrange it, and you just need to go and have a meal. But there may be a lot of people. I don't want to make it a big deal, but it's not possible, this is the factory's intention," Zhang Dabao said to his family.

"Does the factory also care about marriage matters?" Zhang Dasen didn't quite understand.

"Lao Liu, the factory must have its reasons for making such arrangements. As a new worker, how can you know it so thoroughly?" Zhang Daliu and Zhang Dasen joked.

After lunch, Zhang Dabao drove to the commune. There was only one supply and marketing cooperative in the commune, which was also empty. There were only a few food items available, and they required tickets and were not fresh.
