Restarting life in Siheyuan

It can be seen that He Yushui really likes the vast environment of the grassland and the boldness of galloping on horseback. It is hard to tell that such a weak girl has such a heroic spirit in her bones. Just listen to what she says.

"But this trip wasn't in vain. It opened my eyes. The grassland is really beautiful, especially the sunrise in the morning and watching the stars in the sky at night. You can't see such a scene in the capital, especially when you are riding a horse..."

Lin Na and Xia Yuhong had never been to the grassland before, and were fascinated by it. The younger sister looked ignorant and kept asking about fun things in the grassland. They started chatting again, and when they were about to have a lively conversation, they heard Sha Zhu and Lou Xiao'e greeting someone in the front yard. They seemed to have come back together.

"My brother is back. I had to go and tell him. There are dishes on the table." He Yushui stood up quickly, and soon Sha Zhu's happy smiling face came into view.

"Wow, I was wondering why the magpie kept calling me early in the morning, but I didn't see any good news. It turns out that my brother is back. Hahaha, Xiao'e, come in quickly..."

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng coming back, Sha Zhu was determined to "have a drink with him", so he asked He Yushui to bring the prepared dishes over, and they would sit at the table together and eat.

"Why aren't you moving? Hurry up and bring it over."

He Yushui was a little embarrassed and seemed unhappy. She had come over here without any reason just now. Sha Zhu saw that his sister didn't say anything or move, and he understood at once.

"Ah, isn't it just not as good as my brother's? What's the big deal? Listen to my brother. Although your cooking skills are not as good as your brother's, they are still about five or six points better. You can't compare to him, but you are better than many young wives and aunts in the yard. It's not shabby to show it off. Hurry up."

"Brother." He Yushui was exposed by Sha Zhu all of a sudden. He felt a little embarrassed and stomped his feet. He no longer had the heroic spirit he had when facing the woolen mill incident just now.

Seeing He Yushui's face turn red, Lou Xiao'e quickly stood up and said, "Sister, let's go together. Don't listen to your brother's nonsense. He is just a big mouth. I really like the food you cook. Let's go..."

After a while, the two men came back with the dishes, re-set the table, added wine, turned on the lights and resumed the banquet. With Sha Zhu around, He Yushui's matter was naturally put aside.

Sha Zhu hadn't seen Zhu Xuefeng for a long time, so once he started talking, he talked nonstop. The room naturally split into two groups. One group of girls listened to He Yushui continue telling stories about the grassland.

Sha Zhu poured some wine and started talking to Zhu Xuefeng about the changes in the steel mill. After being away for a few months, he felt that the steel mill had changed a lot, which was beyond Zhu Xuefeng's expectations.

The first is that Secretary Liu was transferred away. No one knows the specific reason, and no new secretary has taken office. Last year, the Ministry of Metallurgy praised the steel rolling mill for its many outstanding contributions to disaster relief, but now not even a secretary has been sent over. Many people are surprised.

Just when everyone was eagerly waiting for the new secretary to take office, the next notice from above left everyone confused. The Ministry of Metallurgy announced that before the new secretary took office, Director Yang would serve concurrently as secretary.

Many people were mistaken. If this was the case, it should have been announced directly when Secretary Liu was transferred. Why was there a delay? Many people kept their mouths shut. It seemed that there were too many things involved.

But no matter what, Director Yang is now temporarily serving as the secretary, and the steel rolling mill has taken on all the responsibilities. The director of the guesthouse recommended by Secretary Liu has naturally been replaced. The current director Li Jingwen was recommended by Deputy Director Li. This is in line with tradition. After all, the guesthouse is responsible for logistics.

The most surprising thing is Qin Huairu. No one knows why she left the vehicle factory, which had enviable benefits, and went to the guesthouse. Now she is the team leader of the guesthouse and is considered a very important figure in the guesthouse.

Some people said that she went to the guesthouse because she had many children at home, who were young and had no one to take care of them, and she couldn't stand working overtime at night.

"But Sister Qin has been coming back later than when she was working overtime at the vehicle factory since she went to the guesthouse. What do you think caused this incident?"

Zhu Xuefeng was not interested in Qin Huairu now, and he could guess it with his eyes closed. After all, she had asked him for help for this before. This time, she was able to go there, probably because she asked Li Huaide for help. Apart from him, no one else could mobilize people and arrange a team leader at the same time.

"It's really changed a lot. It's only been a few months. How can there be any changes? I guess Director Zhang hasn't moved."

"Him, why did you think of asking him? Where can he move? If Li Huaide doesn't move, he won't have a chance. Oh, and there's another small matter. Something happened to the security section chief Ma, and he was fired."

Speaking of this Section Chief Ma, Zhu Xuefeng still had some impression of him. They had had a quarrel over sesame sauce pancakes at that time. He seemed to be a very shrewd person. How could he be fired for such an incident? He immediately became interested and asked hurriedly.

"Tell me, tell me, what happened to the security department? How serious is it? Who is involved? Is Lao Ma okay?"

Sha Zhu smiled and picked up a piece of ham and threw it into his mouth. He smacked his lips twice. Lou Xiaoe hit him and said, "You don't even eat properly."

Sha Zhu grinned and said, "It can't be changed. You just have to make do with it. Where is it? Oh, Chief Ma, it's this thing." He seemed to not get along well with this person, and as he spoke of Chief Ma, he seemed to be gloating.

"Let me tell you." Sha Zhu raised his glass. Zhu Xuefeng was anxious to hear what was going to happen next, so he also raised his glass and took a sip. Then he saw Sha Zhu put down his glass.

"It wasn't the security department that was in trouble, it was this guy named Ma who got into trouble. He got into trouble outside. Old Ma is fine, but it's quite interesting to talk about it. He's so bold that he can think of such a thing."

Zhu Xuefeng had no choice but to control his temper and listen to Sha Zhu's storytelling. The others found it so interesting that they stopped telling stories about the grassland and turned to listen to Sha Zhu's non-stop story.

"This Section Chief Ma is really a talent. It's a waste to have him in the Security Department."

It turns out that this matter was related to his reckless friend from the Xizhimen Railway Station Police Station.

It turned out that the two men worked together to recruit six high school graduates, four men and two women, at a market price of one thousand yuan each, under the pretext of helping them find formal jobs. In the name of Xizhimen Police Station, they provided pre-job education to the six young men and women. The two men claimed that the six were "special service personnel" of the railway station police station.

Commonly known as plainclothes police, they work in the square of Xizhimen Railway Station. Their main task is to catch petty thieves and various speculators. In order to ensure their personal safety and avoid retaliation due to exposing their identities, they are not allowed to show up at the police station at the railway station without clear instructions.

Relying on these six "plainclothes officers", these two people managed to control the pigeon market.

"You can't imagine it. This guy is so capable. Six young people's families were also deceived. They thought it was a legitimate job with a regular salary. Who knew it was all fake."

It turned out that the six people didn't know they were being cheated. After paying 1,000 yuan, they were taken to a small courtyard near the station by Section Chief Ma and two other people. Each of them was given a uniform, but they were not allowed to wear it at ordinary times. Each of them was given a pair of handcuffs. Then, after a series of discipline, confidentiality education and business instructions, they were put on duty. There is not much else at Xizhimen Railway Station, but there has never been a shortage of petty thefts. There are not many police officers at the railway station, and their offices are all inside the station. There is no police officer at the station square at all.

The six people were also divided into shifts and worked diligently in the square. They made a lot of arrests every day. Every time they arrested someone, they would notify Section Chief Ma and the other two, who would then deal with the matter privately with large fines. Part of the money from the fines was used as the salary of the six "plainclothes officers", and part was used for the expenses of the two.

They also secretly control the nearby pigeon market, which was hit the year before last. Since the fall of Deputy Director Bai of the Municipal Bureau, there has been no one to protect this market for the time being. There are many outsiders coming and going here, so it is obviously a good location. Maybe the public security system has been too strict in the past two years, so such a big piece of fat meat is actually idle.

Section Chief Ma should have known about this place a long time ago and got his hands on this piece of fat meat easily. He should have had constant contact with these people and recruited a younger brother to take over. When he encountered people who were dissatisfied, he would take six "plainclothes" officers to enforce the law and then impose fines.

"How could it be like this? Didn't those six young men notice anything wrong?" Xia Yuhong couldn't help but interrupt. Sha Zhu was familiar with this person. Even Lin Na often came to the yard and he often met her. He just didn't understand what her relationship with Zhu Xuefeng was.

"Sister, you asked a good question." The storyteller hoped that someone could join in the conversation, otherwise it would be very boring to just talk alone. When Xia Yuhong asked the question, Sha Zhu became more interested.

"Who said it wasn't? After Section Chief Ma and He Facheng were arrested, these people still couldn't believe it. They always thought Section Chief Ma was the director of the Xizhimen Railway Station Police Station and that they were real police officers." (See below)

Sha Zhu glanced at the empty wine glass and Lou Xiao'e who was on high alert, and had no choice but to get a bowl of soup, take a sip, and continue.

"These six silly kids were so serious about catching petty thieves and raiding the pigeon market. It turns out that these six kids were fooled by the guy surnamed Ma. Tsk tsk, how dare he make up this story. Not to mention, the guy surnamed Ma just got some fake IDs and fooled these kids. It's really a sin. These kids were implicated this time, and I don't know how to deal with it."

It turned out that Section Chief Ma was quite capable. The police uniforms, handcuffs and work permits he gave to several people were all real, even the seals were real. All of these were his abilities.

Of course, it was later explained that the handcuffs were taken from the security department of the steel rolling mill. The steel rolling mill then understood. No wonder Director Ma couldn't figure it out after investigating for a long time. Why did some instruments and handcuffs in the security department inexplicably become less since last year, and he was never suspected.

The two men insisted on giving ideological education to the six people every week, encouraging them to fight against criminals.

"What's even more evil is that the leader of the six is ​​actually his distant nephew. You said that this incident was caused by his nephew, so these people didn't suspect anything at all."

"Brother Zhuzi, doesn't his nephew know this is fake?"

"It is said that he did not know. He lied to his nephew, saying that he was transferred from the Municipal Bureau to the Railway Station Police Station. They were both at the section level. Who would doubt it? This kid is nothing. He even lied to his relatives."

This is beyond the understanding of some people. At this time, people rely on friends when they go out and on relatives at home. When they encounter difficulties, relatives help each other. Cheating relatives is not as popular as it would be a few decades later. It is very rare now.

Seeing that several girls were talking about it and Zhu Xuefeng was distracted, Sha Zhu took another sip of soup and couldn't help but continue talking.

"This guy surnamed Ma is actually a fool. This kind of thing will be exposed sooner or later. I don't know what he is thinking. He has been making a lot of money after seven or eight months of trouble. Now he is completely screwed."

Zhu Xuefeng felt something was wrong. Who could be so rampant? Besides, the six people who were deceived were basically from the suburbs of Beijing, and it would be impossible to hide it for a long time.

There is only one possibility, that Section Chief Ma is really confident that he can help these people solve the public security staffing problem. He used to be a section chief in the Municipal Bureau, so he might really have connections. It's just that the conditions are not ripe yet, and they are in a hurry to hire people, so he did this.

Now that he has been arrested, according to what Sha Zhu has revealed, there is no one behind him. It can only be said that Chief Ma and his stupid buddy are still helping others. Zhu Xuefeng knows that he is protecting a pigeon market, and the profits are bound to be considerable.

Especially the area near Xizhimen Railway Station, where people come and go with high mobility. Most of the people from grasslands bring some treasures to exchange for money or tickets. It is possible that the account book that Leader Bai gave to Deputy Director Bai specifically was for this market.

"Oh, by the way, how did it get exposed? They were so secretive and thought it through very carefully. It should have taken so long without any problems, which means there shouldn't be any major loopholes."

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng taking the initiative to act as the supporting actor, Sha Zhu said happily.

"There is a female section chief in the security department of our steel rolling mill. You should know her. It is said that she found that Section Chief Ma was always absent from work and something was wrong. So she secretly followed him twice after get off work, and the matter was leaked all of a sudden. Haha, you don't know, this matter spread like wildfire in the steel rolling mill..."

Zhu Xuefeng lost interest as Sha Zhu talked more and more nonsense. He didn't know whether this matter was good or bad for Lin Yilan. He had heard that Section Chief Ma was highly favored by Deputy Secretary Gu, who was training Lin Yilan, but Lin Yilan sent the man named Ma in.

It is said that this man surnamed Ma is still competing with Lin Yilan for the position of deputy section chief. This matter is too complicated. We have to find an opportunity to go to the steel rolling mill to test Old Yang's attitude. Since he is also the secretary, the Security Department will legitimately be under his charge.

Sha Zhu got the secret recipe of potato and bean soup from Zhu Xuefeng. The family of three had already left. The conversation between Zhu Xuefeng and the younger sister was just as Xia Yuhong had expected. The younger sister had no interest in this kind of studying abroad. Zhu Xuefeng felt very sorry and asked casually.

"You don't want to be a teacher or translator. Have you ever thought about what you want to do in the future? You will take the college entrance examination next year. Do you have any ideas? Talk to me."

"Brother, don't blame me. I really don't want to go to this kind of weird school. Don't laugh at me either. I want to study medicine."

Zhu Xuefeng was confused. If his younger sister said she wanted to study mathematics, he would understand. She was smart and good at mathematics. Even if she wanted to study vocal music, he would understand. Wasn't she praised as a little lark? Why did she want to study medicine? There was no sign at all.

It is said that if you persuade people to study medicine, God will strike you down. Being a doctor is not a good profession. Not only is it exhausting, but you are also constantly caught in a vortex of contradictions. It is still okay now, unlike in later generations, but in the future...

Moreover, the study of medicine is extremely difficult, and students are required to have solid basic knowledge and extensive professional knowledge, as well as strong practical skills. In later generations, students will study for a bachelor's degree and a master's degree simultaneously, and graduate with a master's degree. Otherwise, if you go to the hospital and look at the introductions of the doctors below, you will find that they are all PhDs and master's degree holders. This is how the industry works.

Seeing Zhu Xuefeng confused, Zhu Xuemei asked cautiously.

"Brother, are you not happy that I am studying medicine?" (End of this chapter)
