Siheyuan: I am the seventh uncle of Banggen

"Da Mao, Deputy Director He of the canteen is getting married. Will you give a gift?" Secretary Zhou from the Propaganda Department asked Xu Damao.

"Brother Zhou, you ask me whether I should give a gift or not? I must give a gift. Zhuzi and I live in the same courtyard, we are neighbors, and good brothers who grew up together. When I got married, Zhuzi not only gave a gift, but also helped me for several days. Would it be appropriate for me not to give a gift in return?" Xu Damao said.

"Are you and Deputy Director He neighbors? Does Deputy Director Zhang also live in your yard? Does Deputy Factory Director Li visit often?" Secretary Zhou was particularly gossipy and asked Xu Damao several questions.

"Da Biao is also my good brother. We both live in the backyard, and Zhuzi lives in the middle yard. Director Li has been there a few times, always to find Da Biao for something. He doesn't go there often. He is Da Biao's cousin and an elder," said Xu Damao.

"Is Deputy Director Li really a relative of Deputy Director He?" Of course, Secretary Zhou had also heard the rumors about He Yuzhu's promotion.

"They are not direct relatives. Director Li is Dabiao's cousin. Didn't Zhuzi marry Dabiao's cousin? Zhuzi's wife Zhang Lianhua is Zhang Dabiao's cousin, so he has some indirect relationship with Director Li. Zhuzi also follows Dabiao and calls Director Li his cousin," said Xu Damao.

"So Sister Hua from the Women's Federation is also a relative of Deputy Director Zhang?" Secretary Zhou asked again.

"Of course, Zhang Cuihua is from the eldest uncle's family, and Zhang Lianhua is from the second uncle's family. The three of them have the same grandfather." Xu Damao explained the relationship between the three to Secretary Zhou.

"So that's how it is. Deputy Director He and I are not very familiar with each other. I'll just give him a fifty-cent gift and give it to the section chief later. He will deliver it to Deputy Director He together. Weimin, do you still agree?" Secretary Zhou asked Yang Weimin again.

Yang Weimin's face turned pale and he did not answer.

"Forget it, I'll ask someone else." Secretary Zhou saw that Yang Weimin looked unhappy, thought of the unpleasantness he had with Deputy Director Li, and left quickly.

They are all a bunch of villains. What does it have to do with you if a distant relative of Li Huaide gets married? Is it your turn to show your loyalty? And you still ask me if I will show my loyalty? I will show my loyalty to your mother. You idiot Zhu*** still want to get married properly, fuck your mother, you see, I will ruin your wedding.

Moreover, Zhang Dabiao was the same age as himself, and he was a top student who graduated from a technical secondary school, but he was just a small clerk. How could Zhang Dabiao, a retired soldier, become the deputy director? Wasn't it because Li Huaide was nepotism and had nepotism in the factory? Yang Weimin could no longer suppress his anger.

Without waiting until the end of get off work, Yang Weimin found an excuse, left the factory and went straight to Qi Ye's courtyard.

Chapter 244 He Yuzhu Gets Married

"Yang Weimin, what did you say? Let He Yuzhu embarrass himself at his wedding? What are you thinking? Are you sick?" When the Seventh Master heard what Yang Weimin said, he was so angry that his lungs almost exploded.

"Seventh Master, aren't we from the same organization? I'm in trouble now. What's wrong with looking for help from the organization? Now that I'm back, I want to make my brother trust me again. The biggest problem now is the interference of Li Huaide, He Yuzhu, Zhang Cuihua and others. How can I not strike back at their arrogance?" Yang Weimin said to Seventh Master.

"It's not possible for Weimin. Li Huaide is the deputy factory director. He is a relative of He Yuzhu and may attend the wedding. I can't help you directly. At most, I can find a few friends in society to help you. These people are afraid of officials." Qi Ye still disagreed.

"What relative? How many turns has it taken to get to the brother-in-law of Li Huaide's cousin's son? Is he a relative? Is he so idle? Going to attend Sha Zhu's wedding? Does a deputy factory director have nothing to do?" Yang Weimin said.

"Li Huaide, are you really not going? If there are no officials attending the wedding, I can help you once, but I can't do it if there are officials present. And you must hurry up and get value for money. Where is your information?" Qi Ye relented.

"Send more people. He Yuzhu's brother-in-law is quite good at fighting," Yang Weimin reminded.

"How good are they in fighting? No matter how good their kung fu is, they will be afraid of a kitchen knife. Let them bring their weapons when the time comes," said the Seventh Master disdainfully.

"No, he can kill the wolf," Yang Weimin wanted to persuade him.

"I can kill wolves, and I have killed many wolves. Who is he? When will He Yuzhu get married?" The Seventh Master did not listen to the advice.

"Arrange someone for me in three days," said Yang Weimin.

Back at the steel rolling mill, Yang Weimin's mood improved. "Sha Zhu, Zhang Cuihua, Zhang Dabao, when the time comes, I will teach you all a lesson. Just give each of you twenty or thirty slaps on the face, and make sure to give you black and blue faces, so that you will be really embarrassed," Yang Weimin thought about it and started laughing.

He Yuzhu's wedding date was approaching, and Zhang Dabao became busy. He Yuzhu was not only his second brother-in-law, but also his future brother-in-law, so he had to be attentive to his marriage. Zhang Dabao went to Guanting Reservoir again and caught dozens of big fish. He Yuzhu used his connections in the chef community to order more than ten kilograms of meat from the meat processing factory. Zhang Cuihua asked her sisters to help and bought five big roosters.

The He family had a wedding, so there was no shortage of people to help with the cooking. Two days in advance, He Yuzhu's master, Mr. Wang Zhicheng, sent his apprentice over to finalize the wedding menu with He Yuzhu. That afternoon, they set up a clay stove in the backyard and began preparations.

The bride-picking location was too close to the backyard, so they finally decided to pick her up from where Zhang Dasen and others lived. At that time, Zhang Dasen and his friends would stop delivering goods for a day and attend the wedding as Zhang Lianhua's family.

In order to make his second sister look respectable at her wedding, Zhang Dabao borrowed Li Huaide's jeep from the steel rolling mill and the pickup truck from the mining machinery factory. In 1960, he used cars to pick up the bride, which definitely gave him face.

When borrowing a car from the mining machinery factory, Yu Sinian and his wife expressed their intention to attend He Yuzhu's wedding. Ji Denian and Lei Huanian would both take their spouses with them and would give them a heads up in advance. Zhang Dabao expressed his gratitude, knowing that this was giving him face as they were not familiar with He Yuzhu.

When they returned to Compound No. 95 in the afternoon, Cao Lianbiao came and brought gifts. They were for Zhang Weihua, Liang Fei and him. They included a washbasin, a thermos, a spittoon, and two colored pillowcases. Zhang Dabao asked Yan Bugui to write it down in the account, expressed his gratitude to the three, and invited them to attend the wedding. Cao Lianbiao agreed immediately.

Wang Xiuqin also personally sent gifts and said that she would also attend the wedding.

The day of He Yuzhu's wedding arrived, and He Daqing returned a day in advance, waiting for He Yuzhu to come back with He Yuzhu's master.

Zhang Dabao drove one car, Niu Kewu drove another car, and Huang Xinsheng drove Zhang Dabao's tricycle. They went to where Zhang Dasen and others lived and picked up Zhang Lianhua and a group of Zhang's family members.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Weihua, Li Huaide, Liu Le, Wang Cheng and Xu Sinian came. They were the first guests to arrive. Soon Ji Denian and others, Wang Xiuqin and Qiao Yongqian, Zhang Weihua, Liang Fei and Cao Lianbiao, He Daqing's sworn brothers, fellow apprentices, and old friends from the past; He Yuzhu's fellow apprentices, colleagues when he was an apprentice in the restaurant, colleagues in the factory, and a large number of section chiefs all came. Together with the neighbors, there were too many people in the entire No. 95 courtyard.

At 11 o'clock, Yang Weihua acted as the master of ceremonies and presided over their wedding ceremony. Just when the wedding ceremony was about to end, Yang Weimin came in with six burly men.

"Silly Zhu, why the hell didn't you tell me you were getting married?" A big man came to the middle courtyard and started shouting.

"Who are you?" Zhang Dabao saw six people holding short sticks and with their arms bare. It was obvious that they were not good people.

"What do you care who I am?" The big man was very unhappy when he saw someone dared to come out to stop him.

"It's still not too late to leave now. You came here with Yang Weimin." Zhang Dabao was a little angry because he saw Yang Weimin behind him.

Yang Weimin was so embarrassed now. He had never expected that his cousin would not only attend He Yuzhu's wedding, but also be the master of ceremonies. "You are the deputy director of the bureau, brother? Do you still have face? What do you want me to do?"

"Weimin, what are you doing here?" Yang Weihua was also a little angry, thinking, what kind of brother is this? If I had known that you were causing trouble every day, I would have let you stay in the machine repair shop for the rest of your life.

"Brother, you are here too? I heard that Zhuzi is getting married, so I came to show my appreciation." Yang Weimin came to the account table and put a dollar on it.

"Sixth brother, Director Zhang is here too." Another big man pulled the big man who was pretending to be cool just now.

Xiong Liu followed his brother's hand and saw three old acquaintances there, Zhang Weihua, Liang Fei and Cao Lianbiao. The three of them were looking at him. They were sitting in the yard and there were two tables in the room, which meant that Zhang Weihua, a director at the section level, was not qualified to enter the room. Xiong Liu glanced inside the room and saw Director Wang Xiuqin looking at him coldly. The people sitting in the room were all dressed unusually. Who would wear a white shirt?

Chapter 245 Yang Weimin gets beaten again

Xiong Liu swallowed his saliva and glared at Yang Weihua, thinking to himself, this kid must be beaten up. He didn't even ask in advance. Didn't you say that no leaders would attend the wedding? Not only that, but there were many, and the police station chief and deputy chief were also attending. What did you ask us to do? Isn't this asking us to be killed?

"Silly Zhu, you didn't even tell us about such a big thing as getting married. Do you still treat us as brothers?" Xiong Liu looked at He Yuzhui seriously and said.

He Yuzhu, who was still on the stage, was also a little confused. Who the hell was this? Were we that close? I had to tell you about my marriage. Could it be that he was a friend I made when I was wrestling? It had been more than ten years, and I couldn't remember his name. After thinking for a while, he said, "I'm sorry, guys. I was wrong. I'll drink three glasses of wine as punishment later."

"Come on, brothers, let's perform a show first. Zhuzi's wedding is such a big event. We are all martial artists, so let's cheer for everyone," Xiong Liu said to the five brothers behind him. Then the six of them practiced stick fighting for a while, and after the practice, they went to the table to pay one dollar each, and then sat aside.

"Zhu Zi, who is this?" The ceremony was over and the banquet was about to begin. Zhang Lianhua went to the bridal chamber and He Yuzhu came among the guests. At this time Xu Damao asked him that there were also friends who practiced martial arts who came to add to the fun and they all gave valuable gifts of one dollar.

"My friends when I practiced wrestling when I was a kid. I never thought that after all these years, they still remembered me and would come to my wedding," He Yuzhu said a little moved.

"Friends from your wrestling practice? Didn't you start practicing when you were twelve or thirteen? It's been more than ten years, and these people still remember you? It's not easy. You're really worthy of being a martial artist, and you're so loyal," Xu Damao said enviously.

After the banquet, everyone dispersed, and Xiong Liu and others stopped Yang Weimin.

Yang Weimin was upset when he saw six people surrounding him in the alley. "Xiong Liu, what do you mean? What do you mean by this? Are you called here to act for me? Haven't you practiced? Where's your courage? You look like grown-ups, but you're a bunch of cowards. You're performing for others. Are you actors?" Yang Weimin cursed.

"If you are not afraid, then what are you offering? Let me ask you, why didn't you tell me that so many leaders were here? Didn't you say that there was no leader? The director and deputy director of the police station are here, and you still say there is no leader? Why didn't you say anything?" Xiong Liu asked.

"What's wrong with them coming to the wedding?" Yang Weimin certainly didn't admit his mistake and continued to play tricks with Xiong Liu and others, pretending not to understand what Xiong Liu meant.

"What's wrong? What's wrong with you? Come on, brothers, loosen up this bastard's bones." Xiong Liu was angry.

"Don't mess around, my brother is the director of the steel mill," Yang Weimin said in a stern voice.

"Your father is the factory director, so we are not afraid of you. Let's do it!" Xiong Liu gave an order, and five men started beating Yang Weimin, paying special attention to his face, leaving him with a bruised nose and a swollen face. They also took the money from his bag.

"Everyone gave a gift of one dollar, so it's worth it to get ten dollars back," Xiong Liu said. Then, after beating Yang Weimin, the men left, leaving Yang Weimin alone in the alley crying.

Yang Weimin also did not expect that so many people would attend the wedding of a deputy director of a canteen, and there were several leaders at the department level and above.

Even if I go to see Seventh Master again, I will be too embarrassed. After all, I said it in a definite way that Li Huaide will not attend the wedding. But in the end, not only Li Huaide came, but many leaders also came.

Yang Weimin dragged himself to the factory, but he put all the blame on Li Huaide, He Yuzhu, and Zhang Cuihua. He was too embarrassed to be in this state, so he did not go back to the office, but went straight back to the dormitory and cried secretly.

The night finally came, and from today on, Jingshu slept with He Yushui because this was the wedding night of He Yuzhu and Zhang Lianhua.

At night, the young guys went out again, and of course they still performed the signature program of No. 95 Courtyard - eavesdropping.

"Dongxu, it's inappropriate for you to come and listen as well, right?" Xu Damao said in a low voice.

"What's inappropriate? When I got married, Zhuzi also went to listen, so I must listen back," said Jia Dongxu.

"Who did Zhuzi marry?" Xu Damao asked.

"With my aunt, are you stupid?" Jia Dongxu said.

"Can you please listen to your aunt's girlfriend?" Xu Damao was speechless.

"Not appropriate," said Liu Guang.

"Not appropriate at all," Yan Jiekuang said.

"Is it inappropriate?" Jia Dongxu scratched his head and said.

Everyone nodded. Jia Dongxu thought about it and felt that it was a bit bad. After listening to it, how would he laugh at them tomorrow? Would his mother beat him? Would his aunt be angry and let his seventh uncle beat him? The answer was yes.

"Tsk, this is boring." Jia Dongxu stood up, waved his hand, and walked towards home, but he accidentally kicked the wine bottle at the corner of his foot, making a "clang" sound.

At this time, the window opened and a basin of cold water was poured down, just on the heads of Xu Damao and others.

"Damn it, it's ice water. Shazhu is going too far," Xu Damao said.

"Hurry up, there are still several pots." He Yuzhu's voice came out.

"No, Zhuzi is really capable of doing this. I have to go home to change clothes. It will be troublesome if I catch a cold. It's a waste for Brother Zhuzi to use ice water," said Liu Guangfu.

"I'll go too," Yan Jiekuang also left.

Then Liu Guangqi and Xu Damao also left. "Jia Dongxu, it's all your fault," said Xu Damao.

"Who told you to want to eavesdrop on my aunt's affair?" Jia Dongxu gloated.

"You bastard, come here and look at the melons," Xu Damao shouted at the young men, who looked at Jia Dongxu viciously.

Seeing that things were not going well, Jia Dongxu immediately ran back home and locked the door.

He Yuzhu's wedding was over, and Zhang Lianhua officially moved to the Central Courtyard. Zhang Dabao told his second sister that she didn't need to come here to make breakfast anymore, as he and Huang Xinsheng were not without hands, and he often didn't get up; and Huang Xinsheng now started to work in shifts.

Five days later, cousin Qiao Yongqian also got married. Compared with He Yuzhu's, Qiao Yongqian's wedding was much simpler. There was not a single guest from outside. All of them were his relatives, including several people from his uncle Qiao's family, Li Huaide and Zhang Dabao from Wang Xiuqin's side, who went with He Yushui; there were only three tables of guests from the Huang family.

Minister Chu Zekun, who was a neighbor of the Qiao family, gave a gift, sat for a while, and then left without eating.

After Qiao Yongqian got married, he officially moved out and moved back in after he had a child. Now Wang Xiuqin is not as irritable as before because she now has the hope of having a grandchild.

Chapter 246 Overseas Mission

After lunch, the guests left, Wang Xiuqin, He Yushui, Qiao Yongqian and Huang Ruofan talked in the living room. Qiao Baozhong called Zhang Dabiao to the study, without any greetings, Qiao Baozhong got to the point, "Dabiao, there is a task, the higher-ups would like to ask you for help."

"Uncle, what are you talking about? Just tell me if you have anything to say," said Zhang Dabao.

"Da Biao, this mission requires women to hoe, which is somewhat dangerous. Deep down, I don't want you to participate. But your two performances on the grassland were so outstanding that a leader mentioned you and knows that you are my relative, so he wants to do some work for you through me." Qiao Baozhong said after a moment of hesitation.
