Siheyuan: Start with a big car

Li Weidong felt that he had underestimated the difficulty of developing a color TV.

He does have a complete set of drawings, and the researchers in the lab are also very capable.

but.

The industry these days is so bad that even if he has made sufficient preparations, he still cannot produce the required parts.

The two chief engineers of the Modou TV Factory are experienced technicians with many years of experience. With their help, the steel rolling mill can complete the manufacturing work.

Thinking about it, Li Weidong walked towards the gate.

At this time, it was already bright and Qin Huairu had already woken up.

She walked into Jia Zhang's room with a nervous mood, and her eyes swept across the bed, and found that Jia Zhang still hadn't come back. Her heart suddenly tightened, and she realized that Jia Zhang might have really had an accident.

Qin Huairu hurried back to her room and woke up Banggeng who was still sleeping.

After listening to his mother's words, Banggeng also felt that something was wrong.

He thought for a moment and asked Qin Huairu to ask the uncle Li Weidong for help.

Qin Huairu ran out in a hurry and saw Li Weidong just about to go out.

She was about to ask Li Weidong for help, but suddenly all the things that had happened in the past two years flashed through her mind. She felt ashamed and felt that she had no face to see Li Weidong.
So he was stunned and stood there, at a loss as to what to do.

Li Weidong stopped when he saw Qin Huairu's strange behavior and asked, "What do you want?"

Qin Huairu was even more flustered by this sudden question. She shook her head subconsciously and stammered, "No...it's okay."

Then she quickly asked, "Are you...are you going on a business trip?"

Li Weidong was in a hurry, so he just answered Qin Huairu's question casually and turned around and left quickly.

Bang Geng came over from behind at this time. Seeing that Qin Huairu didn't tell Li Weidong about the incident, he was a little angry. He frowned and showed a dissatisfied expression on his face. He said, "Mom, why didn't you tell Uncle? Grandma hasn't come back yet. What if something really happened?"

Qin Huairu sighed helplessly, with a trace of worry and guilt in her eyes, and explained: "Banggeng, your grandmother used the betrothal gift to cheat people out of their money before. If Li Weidong knew about it, neither your grandmother nor you would be able to escape, and they would definitely be punished. We can't tell him about this."

Banggeng got anxious when he heard this. He looked panicked and rubbed his hands together. He asked, "What should we do? We can't just ignore grandma like this, can we?"

Qin Huairu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go find the Third Uncle. He's an old teacher with a kind heart. Maybe he can help us find a solution."

So the two of them hurried to the third uncle's house.

At this time, the third uncle was sitting at the table eating breakfast, which was a bowl of cornmeal porridge.

When the third uncle saw the two people coming in, he thought they wanted to eat for free. His eyes widened instantly, and he quickly dropped his bowl, stood up, and pulled the two people outside.

"What on earth are you two doing here so early in the morning? Don't even think about eating here for free."

Qin Huairu and Bang Geng looked at each other, and Qin Huairu sighed: "Third Uncle, my mother-in-law Jia Zhang is missing and hasn't come back yet. We really have no other choice, so we came to you for help."

After hearing this, the expression on the Third Uncle's face suddenly became serious: "Missing? When did it happen? Have you asked other people?"

Bang Geng said, "He hasn't come back since last night, and we don't know what to do, so we came to find you."

The third uncle thought for a moment and said, "Well, don't worry, I'll think of a solution with you. Let's ask around the yard first to see if anyone has seen your grandmother."

After saying that, the third uncle took Qin Huairu and Bang Geng and walked towards the courtyard, ready to start looking for Jia Zhang's whereabouts.

The third uncle first brought Qin Huairu and Bang Geng to Yi Zhonghai's house and knocked on the door. After a while, the door opened, and Yi Zhonghai stuck his head out. Seeing the three of them, he showed a puzzled look on his face and asked, "Why are you looking for me so early?"

The third uncle said with a serious expression: "Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang is missing. We want to ask if you have seen her or know anything about her."

When Yi Zhonghai heard the news of Jia Zhang's disappearance, his heart skipped a beat and he immediately realized that it was probably Chenhuadian who was responsible.

After all, he knew that Jia Zhang had cheated Chen Huadian of his money before, and Chen Huadian had always held a grudge against her.

However, he still hated Jia Zhang in his heart.
Thinking that if she really suffered a little it would be retribution, he had no intention of expressing his guess.

Yi Zhonghai pretended to be indifferent and said, "I still have to go to work, so I don't have time to care about these things. I don't know anything, you can ask someone else."

After saying that, he prepared to close the door.

The third uncle was quick to block the door with his hands and said, "Old Yi, this is not a small matter. Jia Zhang is an old woman, it would be bad if something unexpected happened to her.

If you really know something, don't hide it."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the third uncle impatiently and said, "I really don't know. Don't waste my time here."

As he said that, he pushed hard and closed the door.

The third uncle shook his head helplessly.
Bang Geng muttered in a low voice: "Why is Yi Zhonghai like this? He doesn't help at all."

Qin Huairu sighed and said, "Forget it, let's go ask someone else."

So the third uncle took them to the next house and continued to look for Jia Zhang's whereabouts in the courtyard.

What they didn't expect was that the residents in the compound were not interested in Jia Zhang's disappearance at all.

In fact, they didn't even think about the fact that the residents in the compound had already hated Jia Zhang and wished that she would never come back, so how could they help?

The third uncle walked around and asked in most of the yard, but still didn't get any useful clues. In desperation, he could only go to find Sha Zhu.

After all, Sha Zhu is the second uncle, and now that someone is missing in the compound, he can't just ignore it.

The third uncle knocked on Sha Zhu's door and saw Sha Zhu sitting in the room, eating a steamed bun.

The third uncle said quickly, "Shazhu, Jia Zhang is missing. She hasn't come back since last night. You have to take care of this matter."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately became interested. He stopped chewing the bun in his mouth, his eyes lit up, and he stood up from the chair.

He always felt that being the second uncle was a bit aggrieved. All the important matters were handled by Li Weidong, and he was just a small assistant.

Now I finally have the chance to transform into a "detective" and show off my skills.

Sha Zhu patted his chest and said confidently: "Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely find Jia Zhang with my help.

Where can an old woman like her go? I will go and ask around."

After saying that, Sha Zhu threw the steamed bun in his hand onto the table and prepared to go out in a hurry.

Uncle San, Qin Huairu and Bang Geng followed behind
The third uncle, Qin Huairu and Banggeng followed behind.

Sha Zhu strode into the courtyard
He yelled at the top of his voice: "Stop working and come to the meeting!"

The residents were busy with their work. When they heard Sha Zhu's shout, they all stopped and came over.

"Shazhu, what happened? Why are you calling us to a meeting in such a hurry?"

Sha Zhu cleared his throat and told the whole story of Jia Zhang's disappearance.
Then he frowned and rebuked the residents of the compound, saying, "You guys really don't care about the friendship between neighbors! Although Jia Zhang is not a good person, she likes to take advantage of others and always quarrels with others, but she is a resident of our compound after all.

Now that she's missing, we can't just ignore her! Think carefully, did anyone see where she went yesterday, or heard any noise?"

The residents looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing what Sha Zhu said.
"Shazhu, it's not that we don't want to help, but Jia Zhang is usually too annoying. No one wants to deal with her. Who would pay attention to where she goes?"

"Yeah, I didn't see her at all yesterday, and I didn't hear anything."

After hearing these words, Sha Zhu raised his voice and said, "Anyway, let's think about it carefully, maybe we can think of some useful clues.

If any accident really happens, everyone in our compound will be embarrassed!
He knows that if someone is missing from our compound, there will be no outstanding civilized compound this year, and you will not be able to get those meal tickets and meat tickets. "

After hearing this, the residents began to take it seriously.

After all, they still have to rely on those rewards to get through the New Year.

At this time, the second aunt's eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, I remember!

Yesterday I met a young man who said he was Jia Zhang's fellow villager and worked as a chef at Donglaishun Restaurant. He also said that there were leftover meat and vegetables in the kitchen and asked Jia Zhang to get them.

I told Jia Zhang about this at the time, and she hurried to Donglaishun after hearing it. "

Qin Huairu nodded and confirmed, "I know about this, too. I tried to persuade my mother-in-law not to go, but she didn't listen."

When Sha Zhu heard this, he immediately flew into a rage, turned around and scolded Qin Huairu harshly: "Why didn't you tell me about this earlier?
This is an important clue! If we had known it earlier, we might have found the person earlier."

Qin Huairu was embarrassed and blushed. She stammered, "I...I was embarrassed to say it. After all, it would be too embarrassing to tell others that my mother-in-law took the leftovers from other people's restaurants. I was afraid that everyone would laugh at me."

The third uncle also frowned at the side: "You are so confused! It's already this time, and you still care about your face. Now that the person is missing, finding him is the most important thing. Why bother about whether it's embarrassing or not. You didn't tell us this clue, but it delayed things."

Qin Huairu lowered her head and dared not speak.

Sha Zhu turned around and said, "Okay, stop talking nonsense. Since we know she went to Donglaishun, let's go there and ask. Come with me and find her back quickly."

After saying that, he strode towards the gate of the courtyard, and the residents followed him one after another.
The group came to Donglaishun in a mighty procession. It was not dinner time, and the restaurant was deserted with few customers.

Manager Chen Hui was sitting behind the counter concentrating on checking the accounts when he was suddenly shocked to see so many people rushing in at once.

He subconsciously asked the waiter beside him to notify the security officer, then stood up and went to meet them, asking with a hint of caution in his tone: "Oh, so many people, what are you doing?"

Sha Zhu stepped forward and said confidently, "We lost someone in our courtyard. We heard that he came to your place, so we came to look for him."

Chen Hui couldn't help but laugh: "This is a hotel, not a Tibetan place. How come the person you are looking for is here? Did you find the wrong place?"

Sha Zhu refused to give in and said, "Yes, we got the news that this person came to your place to get the leftovers, so he must be here.

You'd better cooperate with us in the search, otherwise it will be difficult for you to explain if things get delayed."

Chen Hui frowned. Donglaishun is a big restaurant in Beijing. These people just come here to cause trouble. Who do they think they are?

But it was a big jar after all, so Chen Hui didn't get angry immediately.

At this time, Qin Huairu stepped forward and said a little embarrassedly: "It's my mother-in-law, Jia Zhang. She said that a fellow villager is the chef in your kitchen and asked her to come and get some meat and vegetables that she couldn't finish."

Chen Hui felt like he was being enlightened after hearing this, so he shook his head and said, "I know all the staff in our kitchen, and I've never heard of such a person. Besides, we don't let anyone take the leftovers from our kitchen. This is against the rules."

After hearing this, Sha Zhu said anxiously, "What should we do? They are definitely heading towards you."

At this time, the waiter and the security officer Xiao Zhang hurried over.

Secretary Zhang asked Chen Hui what happened. Chen Hui explained it to him. Secretary Zhang was not so good-tempered. He glanced at Sha Zhu and said in a bad tone: "This is not the place for you to act wild. Get out of here!"

When Sha Zhu heard this, he was immediately furious, and his blood boiled. He opened his eyes wide and glared at Director Zhang, cursing: "Who are you talking about? What's with your attitude!" As he said that, he rolled up his sleeves, ready to take action.

The residents around gathered around.

Some people advised Sha Zhu not to be impulsive, while others expressed dissatisfaction with Director Zhang's attitude and began to criticize him.

The third uncle was also frightened. She didn't expect things to turn out like this. She quickly grabbed Sha Zhu's arm and said anxiously, "Sha Zhu, don't be impulsive. We are here to look for someone. Don't make things awkward."

Chen Hui didn't expect Zhang's attitude to be so tough.
Fearing that the matter would get out of hand, he quickly stepped out to smooth things over: "Everyone calm down, let's talk it over. Let's think of a way to see if we can find the person you're looking for."

You have to know that there are so many people here. If the security officer fights with them, then he, as the public manager, will also be criticized by his superiors.

But allowing these people to rush into the kitchen to look for someone is not a good idea, as it will affect the image of Donglaishun.

At this time, Chen Hui thought of a solution: "How about this, you send two representatives to go with me to the kitchen to ask those chefs, okay?"
