The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 185, give up

Daxing Hutong, a courtyard with three entrances.

The house in the front yard is Hou Sheng's house.

Monkey put on his clothes and was about to go out, ready to take turns to watch over Da Zhuang, when his father blocked him.

"What's the matter with you recently, you always ask for leave? You don't go to work at the unit, and you run out to see the sky. What are you busy with, huh?" Father Hou asked angrily.

Since taking over Li Weiguo's task, Hou Zi and Da Zhuang have been following him 24 hours a day, and they have been on leave for a month.

Faced with his father's questioning, Monkey's head really hurt. Now that he has been taking leave for a long time without going to work and staying away from home all day long, in the eyes of everyone, it means he is not doing his job properly and is blindly unemployed. There is no way to argue with it.

I want to explain, but I don't know how to speak.

Naturally, he couldn't tell his father about stalking. If he accidentally let it slip, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

Monkey struggled for a while, and had no choice but to explain: "Dad, I really have something serious to do. I definitely don't go out to fool around. Don't worry, I have income."

As he said that, Hou Zi took out a stack of bills from his pocket, and spread them out in front of Father Hou for him to see for himself.

Father Hou glanced at him doubtfully, took the money coupons, and after a quick count, he found that there were more than 50 yuan in cash and [-] kilograms of coarse grain coupons, which was not a small amount.

Dad Hou was a little panicked now and felt that the money in his hand was extremely hot.

"Xiao Sheng, our family has been honest farmers for three generations. Don't be stupid and do illegal things."

It's no wonder that Hou's father is flustered. He can earn income even if he doesn't go to work, and the amount is not small. Apart from illegal things, what other serious things can there be?
It's either speculation or cheating or stealing. These are the most common types of businesses without capital.

Thinking of this, Father Hou couldn't help but sigh: "Well, I know that the work at the scrap collection station has delayed you and affected your ability to find a partner. It's really not good. How about I apply for retirement in advance and you can pick up my shift at the machine repair shop.

Leave the work of the waste collection station to your brother, let's not do those illegal things, okay? "

As he said this, Father Hou's eyes turned red. He had been a law-abiding mechanic all his life, how could he just watch his son go astray.

"Dad, it's really not what you think. Don't worry, I never did anything illegal."

Monkey couldn't laugh or cry at this time, his father's appearance made him completely at a loss as to how to explain.

"Then tell me, what kind of serious business can earn five or sixty yuan a month, and still have more than 60 catties of food stamps?
There are so many mechanic masters in our workshop, and few of them have earned this income after working for more than ten or twenty years. How can you have such a high income? "Hou Papa asked excitedly.

Looking at his worried father, Monkey knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he wouldn't be able to get out of this door.

After struggling for a moment, Monkey could only sigh helplessly, and then briefly explained that he and Da Zhuang helped to keep track of him.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the Japanese, he just said that he would help a leader keep an eye on a criminal and wait for the criminal to reveal his flaws.

After listening to Monkey's explanation, Father Hou asked in confusion: "What kind of credit can let someone arrange a decent formal job for you two? It's so difficult to arrange a job now, it can't be a lie to you two, right?"

"No, don't worry, dad, my comrade introduced him, and his work has been arranged." Monkey comforted him, whether he was lying or not, he wasn't worried at all.

He and Da Zhuang retired from the army in the same batch as Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun, and they were assigned jobs together after returning to the imperial capital.

At that time, Zheng Shan entered the food factory, and Yang Xiaojun, like Da Zhuang, was assigned to the sanitation station. He knew very well what kind of relationship Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun had at that time.

Due to his father's serious illness, Zheng Shan even sold his job in a food factory, and was so poor that he almost became underpants.

Yang Xiaojun is similar. When he joined the job, his salary was only 14 yuan. His mother was not in good health. Except for food and drink, she used all the money to buy medicines. She had no savings at all.

Later, the two of them followed the leader and helped with the affairs for a few days. They were favored by the leader, and they were immediately assigned to the security department of the rolling mill.

Some time ago, Zheng Shan, the old squad leader, was promoted to be the head of the picket section, and took over the position of leader. Even Yang Xiaojun's security guard level was promoted to level 11 security guard, with a monthly salary of 27 yuan, and the work was decent and easy. How could there be a fake? He is not blind.

After the monkey explained again and again, he temporarily appeased his father.

After leaving the house, he walked towards the place where he was watching. Along the way, the monkey was absent-minded.

I have been staring at it for more than a month now, and there is no movement or abnormality at all in the devil's house.

He and Da Zhuang have been watching for so long and have yet to make any achievements. Can the work arrangements promised by the leader still be fulfilled?

The monkey didn't know, he was completely uncertain, and worried about gains and losses.

Before he knew it, the monkey came to the place where he and Da Zhuang changed guards.

"Brother Monkey, what happened to you today, you are out of your mind, is there something wrong?" Da Zhuang couldn't help asking when he saw that he was absent-minded after he came.

"It's okay, I just didn't get a good rest yesterday." Monkey laughed dryly and said perfunctorily, completely out of shape.

"Oh, how about I continue to watch you in the afternoon and you go back to catch up on your sleep first?" Da Zhuang asked with concern.

"No, you should go back and eat quickly. You have been squatting all morning and you should be hungry." The monkey shook his head and refused Da Zhuang's kindness.

"Oh, okay, I'll go first."

"Well, come back."

Just as Da Zhuang handed over the follow-up work to the monkey and was about to go home, Li Weiguo came over on his bike.

"Leader, why are you here?" As soon as the car approached, Monkey and Da Zhuang came over to say hello.

"Nothing to do today, just come and have a look. How is it? Has there been any movement in the past week?" Li Weiguo stopped the car and asked casually.

"Well, so far, there's been no movement." Monkey said awkwardly, while Da Zhuang scratched his head in embarrassment.

I don't know whether the Japanese are too cunning or have a unique way of contacting them. After watching for so long, no one came to look for An Yiyan. As a result, Monkey and Da Zhuang's work was fruitless, leaving them now. My mentality is a bit broken.

Li Weiguo thought about it for a while, and felt that there was no point in staring at him anymore. Since An Yiyan's accomplice hadn't shown up for a month, he probably didn't need to count on it.

"Forget it, Monkey, Da Zhuang, I won't keep an eye on this place anymore. I guess An Yiyan's disappearance has alerted his associates, otherwise there can't be no movement at all. It seems that these devils have a unique way of contacting each other. We can't get any credit for this." Li Weiguo shook his head.

"Leader, this."

The two monkeys showed embarrassment on their faces, and they were rather unwilling. They had been staring at each other for so long, but there was no result, and no one could be relieved.

Just when the two were extremely frustrated, Li Weiguo took out two sheets of paper from his pocket, and sent one to each of them: "Come on, take this, one for each."

The two monkeys took the paper and asked doubtfully, "This is it?"

Opening the paper in his hand, what came into view was an employment form for a security guard in a steel rolling mill.
