Siheyuan: Xu Damao corrects his evil ways

Yi Zhonghai sent Yan Bugui away and tidied up his home. I carried a cloth bag and walked out towards the vegetable market. When I met people on the way, I nodded politely to them. If someone asked him where he was going, Yi Zhonghai would politely gesture to the person with the cloth bag in his hand and say casually: "To the market."

For people like Yi Zhonghai, when they come out, some low-income, physically demanding jobs should be arranged on the street side.

This is really not empty talk, but people like Yi Zhonghai who have been in it are easier to arrange work than young people like Yan Jiefang.

On the one hand, this is the inclusiveness of the street. That is to say, people like Yi Zhonghai have changed their ways. The street, while being responsible for their subsequent ideological education, also needs to meet their daily needs.

Therefore, jobs that ordinary people don't want to do, such as delivering coal to the coal yard and sweeping the streets, are specially arranged for people like Yi Zhonghai.

Then find them a job so they won't fall back on their old ways.

Anyway, it’s for social stability.

During this period of time, the streets are not stable either, especially if children like Yan Jiefang have a job, they will not go to the countryside.

So for the time being, the arrangements made by Yi Zhonghai and others are a bit pushed back. But without a job, when you go to the street to report your thoughts every week, you still have to explain where your income comes from and what you spend this week.

Don't lie about this, someone will check it out.

People like Yan Bugui reported to the street that their source of income was making matchboxes with people like Yang Ruihua.

Yi Zhonghai has always had no income.

There must be something wrong with having no income but having money to live.

What Yi Zhonghai urgently needs to solve now is this problem.

If Yan Bugui hadn't been pestering him, maybe Yi Zhonghai would have solved this problem long ago.

The solution to the problem lies with one of his friends, that is, the friend who runs a black shop to help solve the problem.

Rats have rat ways, snakes have snake ways.

No matter what time or person, they all have their own way of making a living. For example, the one who runs a black workshop. Since it is a black workshop and it is related to iron tools, it is definitely a matter of banging and banging.

If the inspections were not strict in the past, you could open a blacksmith shop and take on serious work on the surface. No matter what you do in private, the control is not too strict.

But now, even if those people want to open a blacksmith shop, they don't have the qualifications.

So those people thought of another way.

Due to the strict control in the city, those people turned their attention to places in the countryside that specialized in repairing farm tools.

I don’t know how they communicated specifically. It’s all about sharing the benefits, using the tools and stoves at the repair shop, and then doing their own private work.

For example, some things used for hunting in private, and things used by stubborn masters in the city for fighting, are all produced by black workshops like this.

A little bastard like this little bastard who has made a name for himself in Sijiu City in recent years has achieved great fame with a shovel, but the thing in his hand has no real origin.

There are also some who specialize in the black market and run the underworld, and the guys in their hands are basically made by people like Yi Zhonghai.

The good thing is that it’s not easy to investigate when something goes wrong, which is also considered my own way in the Jianghu industry.

Yi Zhonghai walked to a cart-pulling house near the vegetable market and knocked on the door for a long time. A strong man yawned and opened the door in a daze.

When he saw that it was Yi Zhonghai, he took his hand back behind his back.

He said polite words, but his eyes glanced around behind Yi Zhonghai.

The strong man said: "Master Yi, why are you here? I went to the station to move goods all night last night, and I just fell asleep this morning."

Yi Zhonghai squeezed into the courtyard beside the strong man, but casually replied: "Come here to buy groceries, and stop by to see you. Are you busy lately?"

In such a place, such a conversation seems normal to passers-by.

When the strong man closed the door, Yi Zhonghai asked anxiously: "Brother Hu, have you had any work recently? My family affairs have been settled, and I can start working seriously."

The strong man named Brother Hu laughed when he heard this and said, "How can you live forever? As long as you are willing to work hard and keep your mouth shut, you will have a good job and plenty of money."

After that, Brother Hu took out a piece of paper from his pocket and whispered to Yi Zhonghai: "Recently, a friend wants to play a set of this thing. Let's see how many days it takes."

Yi Zhonghai opened it and took a look, his face twitched involuntarily, and he couldn't help but said: "Flying Tiger Claw?!"

Brother Hu sneered when he heard this: "Hey, anyone who has seen the world will recognize this thing.

Just tell me, can you do it? need a few days? "

Although Brother Hu was smiling, his voice was not warm at all. His eyes were fixed on Yi Zhonghai with murderous intent!
Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but shrink his neck. In the past few times, the man named Brother Hu had asked him to shoot some hunting traps, which were also used by hunters in the mountains.

But even though Yi Zhonghai from Laosijiucheng had never seen this thing today, he had heard of its reputation.

To put it bluntly, this thing is the kind of thing that a thief can use to climb walls and doors.

Of course it wasn't the case before. In the past, this thing was used as a hidden weapon in the martial arts world. It had three claws and five claws, and each claw had three sections, similar to a chicken claw.

It is said that the claws of flying tigers in the early years had a mechanism inside the claws, which could be bent or straightened. When thrown out with a rope, a piece of meat would come out as soon as it was caught.

But that thing has been lost since the Republic of China. It is said that Yanzi Li San relied on that thing to gain a reputation in the world.

People like Yi Zhonghai, even if they have never seen the real thing, have heard of it from the storyteller.

The current flying tiger claw is just a hook that is curved like a claw, but it is definitely not for serious work, and no serious person can use this.

Yi Zhonghai swallowed, but said: "Brother Hu, this thing can be done, but it requires good steel. And how much can this thing cost?"

When Brother Hu heard Yi Zhonghai's answer, he said with a smile: "Okay, I'll prepare something today. Don't worry, as long as your craftsmanship is good, money is not a problem. I can give you this amount when I make it."

Brother Hu stretched out his palm to indicate.

Five yuan is naturally not only wages, but also hush money for Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to get on the pirate ship and couldn't get off.

If he had not agreed just now, even if he could walk out of this courtyard, he would probably not end well.

If someone really kills someone while walking on the street, Yi Zhonghai will have no place to cry.

Yi Zhonghai smiled apologetically and said: "Brother Hu, money is a trivial matter, and you are never stingy. It's just about my work, do you think?"

Brother Hu glanced sideways at Yi Zhonghai, but replied casually: "You guys spit and nail. As long as you make this thing, we will be our own people from now on. I will ask someone to put your name at the maintenance point another day." "

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai stopped worrying about whether building that thing would cause any harm, and thanked Brother Hu repeatedly: "Thank you very much for being old. Brother Hu, you don't know that you don't have a serious job." Damn it, I don’t even dare to eat meat at home.”

Obviously Yi Zhonghai is a step older than Brother Tiger, but Yi Zhonghai is quite skilled at groveling at the opponent.

To be honest, Qin Huairu was really worried about Yi Zhonghai's return.

For this reason, she specially sent warmth to Wang Shitou several times, just to seek Wang Shitou's blessing. Last time Qin Huairu instigated Wang Shitou to deal with the He family, although Wang Shitou found out.

But Wang Shitou didn't slap Qin Huairu to death.

For Wang Shitou, Qin Huairu is like a toy that he keeps. It is also a good thing to use it for entertainment when necessary.

So Wang Shitou arranged a position for Qin Huairu in his group, and it really worked.

Qin Huairu couldn't do any serious work.

But Qin Huairu was asked to keep an eye on who was having trouble with whom in the factory, and who was cheating with whom in the small warehouse.

It didn't take long for him to become quite famous in the steel rolling mill.

Those sisters who were originally Qin Huairu's sisters were miserable after being dealt with by Qin Huairu. Even Wang Shitou was praised several times by Director Li for this matter, saying that he had purified the atmosphere in the steel rolling mill.

How do you say this thing? Only state officials are allowed to set fires, but common people are not allowed to light lamps. This has happened since ancient times.

So there is nothing surprising.

Qin Huairu originally thought that Yi Zhonghai would have a showdown with her when he came back, but she didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai would ignore her like that after he came back, which made Qin Huairu feel unbalanced again.

This is what women are like. If Yi Zhonghai targets her as soon as he comes back and pesters her every day, Qin Huairu will be annoyed, and maybe Wang Shitou will punish Yi Zhonghai.

But now Yi Zhonghai is ignoring her, and Qin Huairu feels ignored again.

Yi Zhonghai didn't look for her, so Qin Huairu focused on Yi Zhonghai instead, watching Yi Zhonghai coming in and out every day, and watching Yi Zhonghai's complexion getting better and better day by day.

It can be seen from this that Yi Zhonghai has been eating well recently.

From the gossips of neighbors, Qin Huairu learned that Yi Zhonghai had recently been working in a farm tool repair factory in a certain commune.

It is said that people thought that Yi Zhonghai had good skills and gave him a temporary worker position.

It was said that Yi Zhonghai was highly valued in that repair shop because of his skills. Although his salary could not be increased, he was treated very favorably in terms of food.

Yi Zhonghai once proudly told his neighbors that a skilled person like him would never starve to death anywhere.

Of course, these words must have come from Yi Zhonghai himself.

He knew what was happening in the yard, and many people must be staring at him. If he doesn't explain clearly to everyone why his life has improved recently, I don't know how many people will go to the streets to report him.

In Yi Zhonghai's world view, it is natural to be wary of others.

Even when he was doing serious work in the steel rolling mill, he never trusted others, let alone now.

The market has not been very peaceful recently. It is said that several houses have been stolen.

There are rumors in the world that the person who stole those things was a former disciple of Yanzi Li San, and he came and went without a trace.

So the streets have recently started to arrest people doing night patrols in various yards.

Yi Zhonghai was worried for a long time at first. He knew what was going on, and the crime tool was made by him.

And his recent good days are also related to that.

Brother Tiger had treated him to good food many times recently. From this, Yi Zhonghai also guessed that Brother Tiger's attack on the Flying Tiger Claw was definitely not a simple business deal.

Regarding this, Yi Zhonghai could only pretend to be stupid. Anyway, he knew that he was now on the pirate ship and could not get off.

As long as he dares to propose quitting, Brother Hu and the others will probably become ruthless.

Yi Zhonghai could only comfort himself. Anyway, he just used a tool. He didn't even know what it was used for, so naturally those things had nothing to do with him.

Brother Hu didn't visit him very often. If he really relied on that little private work to support his family, the whole family would starve to death.

Fortunately, Yi Zhonghai's reputation as a senior engineer is quite popular around Sijiu City.

Many people approached Yi Zhonghai through their acquaintances in the commune to build something for private use.

That is, those clips and knives for hunting in private. Compared with the gadgets that Brother Hu asked him to make, Yi Zhonghai felt much more at ease taking those jobs.

How do you say this thing? Feel.

The people in the commune asked him to make a machete, and Yi Zhonghai could safely make it for them, because Yi Zhonghai knew by feel that the blood of animals on their knives was stained.

Those people didn't have much money either. To pay Yi Zhonghai's salary was to pay him with things. For example, some coarse grains, or some prey.

As for a guy like Brother Hu, even if he was asked to make a small blade, Yi Zhonghai would have to be on tenterhooks for several days.

I'm just afraid that something will happen to Brother Hu, and it will affect him.

That's what this thing is.

Until now, Yi Zhonghai still doesn’t know where Brother Hu runs a black workshop?
He is the biggest Buddha in this area. Even if he is not the real master, he is still one of the generals under Buddha.

It's like everyone in the yard has their own private secrets.

Just like Yan Bugui, although he can't do physical work, he still earns a lot in private.

Yi Zhonghai had seen Yan Bugui several times in the pigeon market.

Although they were all covered up, Yi Zhonghai could tell Yan Bugui's figure at a glance.

Yan Bugui's business involves exchanging coarse grains for food stamps. Judging from Yan Bugui's skill in bargaining with others, Yi Zhonghai guessed that he was also a frequent visitor to the pigeon market.

While Yi Zhonghai stared at others, others were also staring at him.

Qin Huairu used her own connections to ask Yi Zhonghai which commune he was in, what kind of treatment he received, and the food situation.

Overall, it just doesn't add up.

Don't expect high wages for temporary workers in communes, which are more than ten yuan a month. This is because of Yi Zhonghai's skills.

There's not much to say in this regard, but the difference is the food provided by the repair shop.

It is also mainly made of whole grains, and the meat is not without its smell, but Yi Zhonghai is not qualified to eat it.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai's face has been glowing recently. In Qin Huairu's opinion, there must be something wrong.

Qin Huairu didn't expect this thing to happen to Brother Hu. Qin Huairu was able to find out Yi Zhonghai's treatment in the commune because the commune had a supporting relationship with the steel rolling mill, and Wang Shitou's face was still of some use.

But to say that Qin Huairu can find out everything is a bit high on her.

What Qin Huairu focused on was the mountain people who secretly asked Yi Zhonghai to make hunting gear. (End of chapter)
