"Have you really agreed to let Xiaoli's child have the surname Wen?" Wenli's father asked another question.

"I promise. No matter how many children I have, they will all have the surname Wen and will be your grandchildren," Zhang Dabao said very seriously.

"Let's go. I'll tidy up things in the next two days. I'll leave all the things here to the eldest brother. It seems that Xiaoli doesn't like these things. We'll leave after we pack up." Wenli's father was also a decisive man and he immediately agreed to go out.

"No problem, uncle. Don't tell anyone about my affairs and Sister Wen's affairs. It will cause trouble for the family. Just say that you are going back to your hometown. Tell your eldest daughter so first, and then write to her to tell her the truth after you arrive. Of course, it's best not to tell anyone, Uncle Wen, you should understand that." Zhang Dabao instructed the old couple of the Wen family.

"I understand and know what to say. You can make arrangements for us in three days," Father Wen said after thinking for a while.

Chapter 334: Plan to Build a Hothouse

After leaving Wen's house, Zhang Dabao came to the mining machinery factory again. This time he did not enter the factory. Instead, he asked the guard to call Yu Haitang at the radio station and said that someone named Zhang was looking for him on a three-wheeled motorcycle. Then, after a few minutes, Yu Haitang came out and said a few words to Zhang Dabao. She went into the factory to ask for leave, and then came to the textile factory to find Yu Li. The three of them came to Yu Li's courtyard together.

I told them about the plan to go to Hong Kong. They were both very happy and played poker until midnight. After daybreak, they transferred the house to Zhang Dabao. As Zhang Dabao was poor in money but rich in road, he gave each of them 2,000 yuan. They took the money with them. Since the house now belonged to Zhang Dabao, they didn't have to pack anything. They would go back to the factory today to handle the resignation procedures. Three days later, they would take a bus to the south.

After finishing all this, it was almost noon. Zhang Dabao sent the two of them to their workplace and returned to Yard 95.

Zhang Dabao did not sleep well last night, so when he got home, he started to make up for his sleep. It was not very cold now, but not hot at all either, so it was the right time for him to have a good sleep, so he slept until sunset.

After coming out of the house and washing his face, Banggeng and his friends had finished their meal and were playing the game of statues with Yan Jiedi, Niu Xiaozheng, Guo Xiaobao, and He Jingshu. Liu Guangfu and Yan Jiekuang were standing aside watching and making moves against the people chasing them from time to time.

When "Brother Dabao" Yan Jiedi saw Zhang Dabao coming out, she hurried over.

"Yan Di, is there something wrong?" Zhang Dabao asked.

"Brother Dabiao, didn't you say that you would plant vegetables when the weather gets cold? Are you still planting them?" Yan Jiedi asked.

"Of course we have to plant it. If you hadn't asked me, I would have almost forgotten about it. How many days are left until Sunday? Come and help me," said Zhang Dabao.

"Seventh Uncle, today is Tuesday, and there are still five days," Banggeng said.

"Banggeng, can you count? Today is Tuesday, and Sunday is in five days? Is your teacher not teaching well, or are you not learning well?" Jia Dongxu came over.

"Isn't seven minus two equal to five? There's nothing wrong with that," Bang Geng retorted.

"There's nothing wrong with seven minus two, but is that how you calculate the next few days? Can't you just count? Wednesday is one day, Thursday is one day, Friday is one day, plus Saturday, how many days are there in total? Is it five days?" Jia Dongxu asked his son.

"It really is four days. Dad, didn't you slack off every day when you were in school? How come you are still slacking off?" Bang Geng asked.

"Banggeng, your father can't touch the fish. If he touches the fish, he will get sick and it will cost money," He Yuzhu came over and said.

"You're everywhere. Can't you see that I'm teaching the children to count?" Jia Dongxu said angrily to He Yuzhu.

"You can still teach children?" He Yuzhu curled his lips, obviously not believing it.

"You..." Jia Dongxu was speechless.

"Banggeng, when calculating this kind of problem, we cannot start from Tuesday because Tuesday has already passed," Yan Jiedi said to Banggeng.

"Thank you, Aunt Si Ni," Bang Geng said thank you to Yan Jie Di very politely.

"Seventh Uncle, if you want to grow vegetables directly in the ground, can they survive in the winter?" Jia Dongxu asked.

"Of course it can't survive. We need to build a greenhouse. I'll find someone to do it tomorrow." Zhang Dabiao thought of the construction team in the factory. After pouring concrete, the workers will not be able to work for a period of time, so they will be arranged to do odd jobs in other places. Tonight, I will go to the old city wall and find a few old houses to collect bricks and wood. Tomorrow, I will go to the mountain to pack some things and come back to provide meals. I will cut more grass from the mountain and ask the people in the yard to help weave it into a grass quilt. There are a lot of plastic sheets in my space. The materials are basically all ready. It will be done in one day the day after tomorrow. The day after tomorrow is Saturday. Since the sweet potatoes have just been harvested in the field, it is very soft. I will ask Jia Dongxu, Liu Guangfu, Yan Jiekuang and others to turn it over a little, and it can be planted on Sunday.

With a plan in mind, the action also has a direction. Zhang Dabiao went out for a while, saying he was going to make a phone call, and then came back after a while.

At midnight, Zhang Dabiao collected more than 10,000 bricks and placed them at the gate of the courtyard. Yan Bugui was shocked when he opened the gate. When did he place so many bricks neatly? There was no sound at all.

"Brother Dabiao's bricks were moved so quickly? His friends are really amazing?" Yan Jiekuang went out to wash his face and saw the bricks at the door. "Are these Dabiao's bricks?" Yan Bugui asked his youngest son.

"Of course, Brother Da Biao wants to build a greenhouse in the courtyard to grow vegetables in winter, and he asked me and Jie Di to help on Saturday afternoon. Tomorrow, Brother Da Biao will go to the mountain and said he would treat Jie Di and me to four meals," Yan Jiekuang said proudly.

"Eat four meals? Didn't you tell me and your mother to help? Aren't we more capable than you and Jie Di?" Yan Bugui asked quickly when he heard his son say to eat four meals.

"Do you know how to play the game of statues? Brother Dabiao said that the people who can participate in the game of statues include brothers Dongxu and Zhuzi," Yan Jiedi asked her father after going out.

"I know how to play the game of statues, but how can I play it with you guys? It's really a shame that I can't eat the good things again," Yan Bugui said with a sigh.

Zhang Dabao went to the factory, borrowed a truck, hired workers, told them his requirements for the greenhouse, and then drove the truck up the mountain.

It should be late autumn now, and the vegetation on the mountain is still lush, but a considerable part of the grass and leaves have turned yellow. Yellow wheat straw is the best for making quilts. Of course, this kind of grass is also very useful on the roof, even better than wheat straw.

But now is a difficult time and basically no new houses are being built, so there are large areas of yellow wheat grass on the mountain.

The sickle in his hand flew like flying, and whole pieces of grass fell down. Then he tied them up one by one and put them into the space. He had almost finished mowing the grass in the morning. After there was enough grass, he went hunting. Now was the time when wild rabbits were most active, and he caught more than ten in more than an hour.

If you want to invite people to dinner, you need big animals, so Zhang Dabao went to the top of the mountain and stood at the highest point to observe the movement tracks of the animals in the mountains.

There was a group of wild boars foraging on a distant hillside. Zhang Dabao leaped a few times and came to the hillside where the wild boars were. He kept shooting arrows with the bow in his hand, and five wild boars were shot and fell to the ground one after another.

He put the wild boar into the space, put it at the rear of the truck, put the grass on the truck, sealed the truck, and went to the repair shop as usual.

There were two things I came to the machine repair factory for this time. One was to find Nan Yi and ask him if he was willing to go out. The other was to find Liang Ladi. I had promised her something before I went on a business trip and I had to fulfill my promise.

"Director Liu" saw Director Liu Feng again at the entrance of the machine repair factory canteen.

"Da Biao, you pulled the grass? What are you going to use it for?" Liu Feng asked enthusiastically.

"There are wild boars under the grass. I'll give you two," said Zhang Dabao.

"Really?" Liu Feng was happy. The factory's production task was tight right now and they were short of oil and water.

"I have come all the way here to entertain you, but there is something I want to discuss with you," said Zhang Dabao.

Chapter 335 Meeting Nan Yi

"Da Biao, do you need to be polite between us brothers? Just say it directly," Liu Feng said.

"Brother Liu, didn't you have a chef named Nan Yi? His ingredients were a bit high, so you didn't dare to use him, but I do. How about giving him to me?" Zhang Dabao said.

"It's not a big deal, is it okay for you to use it? To be honest, Nan Yi's cooking skills are really good, but the situation is not right," Liu Feng advised.

"I'm really fine here, Brother Liu, don't worry, I'm using his cooking skills," Zhang Dabia said with a smile.

"That's no problem. I also feel it's not good for a chef to ask others to clean the toilet, but what can I do? I'll call him over," said Liu Feng.

"Brother Liu, I won't go to your office. You can send someone to find him and I can talk to him at the door," said Zhang Dabao.

"Xiao Cui, go to the toilet and call Nan Yi over. I have something to talk to him about." Liu Feng saw Cui Dake, a temporary worker in the cafeteria, standing at the door, so he arranged for him to run errands.

"This is Brother Cui from Nantai Commune. I met him last time," said Zhang Dabao.

"Pretty smart," Liu Feng said.

Zhang Dabao didn't say anything else. He opened the carriage and unloaded the two wild boars.

After unloading the truck, Zhang Dabao closed the door again. At this time, Brother Cui came running over with Nan Yi.

"Director, are you looking for me?" Nan Yi greeted Liu Feng.

"Nan Yi, this is Deputy Director Zhang from the General Factory's Logistics Department. He wants to talk to you about something. Please go to the side and talk." Liu Feng introduced Zhang Dabao.

"Master Nan, let's talk at the door," Zhang Dabao said to Nan Yi, and then walked in front.

"Director Zhang, have you heard of me?" The two men came to the door and sat down on a stone beside. Nan Yi had never seen Zhang Dabao before, but Zhang Dabao spoke to him very politely. It was obvious that he knew him, so he asked.

"Of course I've heard of you, Master Nan Yinan, you specialize in official cuisine. I tried your cooking skills when I first came to the machine repair factory. To be honest, the dishes you make are really good," said Zhang Dabao.

"You also know that I cook official dishes. Do you have a chef friend?" Nan Yi asked.

"Do you know He Yuzhu? He is my second brother-in-law. He knows you and has a high opinion of you," said Zhang Dabao.

"Shazhu is your brother-in-law? Damn, Shazhu is married? When did it happen?" Nan Yi asked.

"It's been a few months, Master Nan, and I heard that you're not very happy working in the factory?" Zhang Dabao asked again.

"How can I be happy? I'm a cook. Asking me to clean the toilet, isn't that an insult to me? How can I be happy?" Nan Yi said.

"Have you ever considered changing your job? You can continue to be a cook, the salary is very high," Zhang Dabao asked Nan Yi with a smile.

"Don't you have Sha Zhu in your company's canteen? Nowadays, one cook can't handle everything?" Nan Yi became interested.

"Come to our unit, but not to the canteen. You'll work in an office in another city. The minimum salary is 500 yuan a month. You can also bring your wife with you, and I'll pay her 300 yuan." Zhang Dabao began to tempt with money.

"Five hundred a month, are you crazy? Does Director Li of the general factory have two hundred yuan? And where did I get my wife?" Nan Yi said.

"It is said that you received a good education when you were a child and have seen the world. It seems that the news is not true. If Director Li can't reach 200, does that mean others can't reach it either?" Zhang Dabao asked with a smile.

"I understand, you want to..." Nan Yi pointed outside and Zhang Dabao nodded.

"Smart. Don't you have a wife named Feng Chunliu in the countryside? Haven't you married her yet?" Zhang Dabao acknowledged what Nan Yi meant just now and asked him another question.

"Feng Chunliu?" Nan Yi was stunned. A name hidden deep in his heart came to his mind, and a figure emerged in his mind.

"Deputy Director Zhang, how did you know?" Nan Yi asked. I myself have forgotten how you remembered this name.

"Of course I heard it. Hurry up and marry her. Others are waiting at home. Life in the village is not easy now, do you know that?" Zhang Dabao said.

"It's okay to marry Xiao Feng." Nan Yi's mind became active. He actually fell in love with a doctor in the factory. The doctor was young and beautiful, but Nan Yi felt a little inferior. After all, his current job was to clean toilets, and his status and position did not match her.

Thinking of his parents who passed away early, himself as the only son in the family, and his friend He Yuzhu, a chef, who is now married, he began to be tempted. It is not a pleasant feeling to be a bootlicker, and he can only watch silently from a distance.

Forget it, I should contact Xiao Feng. I remember that when I was in the car, she said she wanted to marry me. Nan Yi thought of that honest girl and a smile appeared on his face.

Zhang Dabao was observing Nan Yi, who was one of the famous bootlickers in the chef world, along with He Yuzhu. Fortunately, he was not in deep trouble and could still be saved.

"Master Nan, if you decide to go to the office with me, I can give you 500 yuan as a resettlement fee, and any worries can be settled. Your home and your father-in-law's home can be settled," Zhang Dabao continued to say to Nan Yi.

Nan Yi was immediately tempted, "Deputy Director Zhang, you are here to deliver meat? Do you have any more meat? I haven't tasted meat for several months. Last time you sent a pig, the people in the cafeteria refused to sell it to me because of my bad background," Nan Yi said.

"Of course. How about we go to my cousin's house and kill one? Please sit down and let's have a drink," Zhang Dabao invited.

"It's settled now. If I don't follow you, it would be a bit ignorant of the status quo. I've had enough of staying here," said Nan Yi, clapping his hands heavily.

"Then don't wait. Go get the tools and I'll drive the car over. This is the resettlement fee, 500 yuan. Once you get the money, you have to leave," Zhang Dabao said to Nan Yi with a smile.

Nan Yi stuffed the money into his pocket, bowed to Zhang Dabao, and ran away. Zhang Dabao returned to the cafeteria where Liu Feng was.

"Da Biao, have you reached an agreement with Nan Yi?" Liu Feng knew that there was nothing to discuss. If Nan Yi didn't leave, he would be a fool.

"It's agreed that I will handle the formalities for him tomorrow. You and Sister Jiao can go to my cousin's house for a drink at noon today. Nan Yi is going to kill a pig and show off his cooking skills," Zhang Dabao invited.

"Da Biao, is this appropriate?" Liu Feng was a little embarrassed.

"What's inappropriate about it? It's extremely suitable. It's settled. OK, I'll drive over now." After saying this, Zhang Dabao got in the car, drove out of the factory gate and came to the family quarters.

"Da Mao" Zhang Dabao called out to Da Mao who was playing with his two younger brothers at the door.

"Uncle" Damao liked Zhang Dabao very much. When he heard that it was Zhang Dabao calling him, he ran over. Ermao and Sanmao also ran over.
