Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Now Zhang Renkang had an extra uncle whose situation he didn't know. At this moment, Zhang Renkang sat on the sofa and looked at the old man holding his hand and crying excitedly. His mind was in a mess. This matter had to start from half an hour ago.

Half an hour ago, Zhang Renkang was grabbed by the arm by an old man in a lieutenant general's uniform and burst into tears as soon as he entered the office. Only after the 30-year-old major, who seemed to be his cousin, persuaded him and Zhang Renkang comforted him in a daze did he finally understand what was going on.

It turns out that 37 years ago, Zhang Renkang's eldest uncle Zhang Yumin and second uncle Zhang Yuhua were already progressive students at the time under the guidance of their grandfather Zhang Dungao, who was a teacher in the small town. His father Zhang Yuguo, as the third child, was only a little over ten years old at the time and stayed at home. His eldest uncle was shot and killed by the reactionaries in Jinan during the student movement. His second uncle went all the way south to find the organization, and fought all the way south and north, and had been out of touch with his family.

(Don’t underestimate our small town of Boshan. In those days, few cities in Shandong had electricity, but we have it in Boshan. You can read what the Shaolin general said when he liberated Boshan. We have liberated another big city with electricity.)

After the war, his second uncle returned to his hometown in the year of the founding of the People's Republic of China. The town had changed a lot. He learned from the surviving neighbors that the Japanese invaders came and the old man refused to cooperate and was killed. Zhang Renkang's father fled to the mountains and no one knew what he was doing.

After much inquiry from local comrades, we found a comrade-in-arms of Zhang Renkang's father last year. We learned that his father later joined the Luzhong guerrillas, and then because of his education level, he was transferred to the Yizhong base. After liberation, he retired and lived in Sijiucheng. The day before yesterday, we learned that Zhang Yuguo had died fighting with enemy spies three years ago and left behind a son. We rushed to Sijiucheng from our base in the north overnight.

After confirming with relevant departments, he learned that his brother had only one son left working at the Red Star Steel Mill. Zhang Yuhua, who had not slept all night, asked Zhang Renkang's cousin Zhang Renjia to drive from the guesthouse to the steel mill to wait for him.

Zhang Renkang, who had figured out what was going on, looked at the old man. The blood memory of his previous life softened his nerves and he said softly:

"Uncle, don't be sad. My father died on the job. Besides, he always taught me not to be afraid of sacrifice and to make contributions to the new society."

Zhang Yuhua held Zhang Renkang with one hand, wiped her tears with the other, nodded and smiled.

"Okay, well said, my dear child, I'm sorry for the injustice you have suffered over the years."

Zhang Yuhua had just learned about Zhang Renkang's situation with Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide. He learned that after his sister-in-law died last year, Zhang Renkang almost had his house taken away by others and was beaten to death. He was so angry that he wanted to take out his gun to settle the score with Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu. However, Zhang Renjia stopped Zhang Yuhua and told him to wait until Zhang Renkang came.

Zhang Renkang laughed

"What's there to be wronged about? You and my dad had it even harder back then."

Zhang Yuhua nodded and smiled

"Good boy, I heard from your factory manager that someone in your yard is trying to embarrass you? Bring your second uncle with you later. He will see who dares to bully our Zhang family."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Second Master, you don't need to take action against these bastards. I have already subdued them."

Zhang Yuhua smiled and nodded.

"Well, you are worthy of being our Zhang family's offspring."

Turning to look at Yu Li, he said with a smile

"This girl is so pretty, good girl. I didn't have time to attend your wedding, but I'll make it up to you in a few days and ask your brother to bring her to your door."

Yu Li said with a smile

"Uncle, we haven't held our wedding yet."

Zhang Yuhua looked at Zhang Renkang in confusion, and Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"We got our marriage certificate last December, and that was when the big snowstorm hit. Plus, it was less than a year since my mom passed away, so I didn't think it was appropriate to hold the wedding, so we put it off."

Zhang Yuhua said with a serious face

"What's inappropriate about this? It's the best thing for your mother to know that you're getting married. Your father might even be very happy."

Then he said

"Uncle Er has made the decision. Pick a good date next month and I will host your wedding."

He glanced at Zhang Renjia standing aside with a displeased look.

"Your brother is a good-for-nothing. He's already 30 and still hasn't found a wife. Our Zhang family is counting on you two."

"Give birth to a few big fat boys for our Zhang family this year, so that your father and grandfather can be happy."

Zhang Renkang looked at his cousin who was implicated and smiled bitterly.

"Uncle, I'm only 20, I'm not in a hurry to have a child"

Zhang Yuhua said

"Twenty is not young anymore. We didn't catch up with the good times. There were wars every day back then. I got married when I was in my twenties and gave birth to your brother."

Zhang Yuhua glanced at Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide, who were smiling apologetically, and said to Zhang Renkang

"Renkang, are you happy here? Tell the second uncle and he will transfer you to the army."

Zhang Renkang shook his head like a rattle and said quickly

"Uncle, please don't. I'm doing very well here. Thanks to the cultivation of Director Li and Director Yang, I'm now a section-level cadre. Besides, I've never been a soldier, so it's not appropriate for me to join the army at this time."

After Zhang Renkang finished speaking, Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide breathed a sigh of relief. They knew the power of this old man. He was a trusted general of a certain marshal. Even the big boss behind Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide's father-in-law would tremble in front of him. Yang Weiguo thought to himself that it was a good thing that he had not offended Zhang Renkang before, otherwise, with the background of this kid suddenly coming, he and Li Huaide might not even have to fight.

Li Huaide was happy in his heart. He was very close to Zhang Renkang, but he needed to pay more attention to Zhang Renkang in the future. Moreover, he couldn't let Zhang Renkang do some things. Otherwise, if he offended this old man, his father-in-law might have to bear the brunt of the consequences.

Zhang Renkang didn't want to go to the army. If there was a military curfew, he would be tortured to death by the strict discipline. Besides, he had three little wives outside. He didn't want to go to the temple.

Zhang Yuhua thought about it and realized that it was true. His younger brother had only one son, so it would be better for him to continue the Zhang family line in the factory. Zhang Yuhua had one son and one daughter. His son, Zhang Renjia, was a 32-year-old regimental staff officer in the army and was about to be promoted to lieutenant colonel. His daughter was a 28-year-old attending physician in a military hospital, and his son-in-law was the son of a lieutenant general.

(All are fictitious, please do not take them personally, save your brain)

Zhang Yuhua nodded and said

"Okay, if you have anything to say, just tell your brother. Second Uncle is on duty in the army, so it may be difficult to contact him. Your brother is serving in the city defense force of Sijiu City, so it should be easy for you to contact him."
