The Red Era: The Crowd in the Siheyuan

Chapter 479: The Great Connection

As the weather gradually got hotter, the city of Beiping also became bustling at an abnormal speed.

The militia training of He Yuzhu and his colleagues was inevitably affected, and they had to suspend training and help maintain order.

When He Yuzhu came home from get off work, he saw neighbors gathered at the door of Yan Bugui's house to inquire about the situation, but Yan Bugui was hesitant and couldn't explain anything.

"What are you guys doing? Why are you all gathered at Uncle Yan's door?

Uncle Yan, you haven't done anything wrong again, have you? "

Seeing He Yuzhu coming back, the neighbors stopped gathering in front of the Yan family's door and instead gathered around him, asking questions one after another.

The main thing is the changes in Peking during this period and the above ideas.

He Yuzhu thought about these things and decided that after all, it was a courtyard house, so it would be better to give some reminders.
"Everyone has seen the current situation in Peking.
I hope that everyone will not have any resistance, and look at these things with a positive attitude. If you can understand, then understand. If you can't understand, then shut up.

See more, think more, talk less, do less.

By the way, if the subdistrict office arranges for teachers and students from other places to stay and eat in the courtyard, you should also actively receive them.

Don’t let comrades from other places think that we are not doing well. Do you understand? "

Other things are not a big deal. As ordinary people living at the foot of the imperial city, I have experienced countless things and naturally have my own way of dealing with them.

But when the neighbors heard He Yuzhu say that they would also host teachers and students from other places for meals and accommodation, they were a little unhappy.

Especially Jia Zhang and Yan Bugui, who shouted,
"Zhu Zi, aren't you going too far? We all have a ration of food. There's only so much every month. If we give it to outsiders, what will we eat?"

If it was a normal time, He Yuzhu might have argued with them, but now, he had no idea at all.
"Haha, Uncle Yan, Aunt Zhang, I'm just making a suggestion. It's up to you whether you listen to it or not.
If you have nothing else to do, please stop surrounding me. I have to go home."

Seeing that He Yuzhu was about to leave, the neighbors, who still had many questions to answer, were not sure how they would let him go, so they stopped him.
"Bie Zhuzi, please tell us when these teachers and students will leave.

We can't just stay here forever, we have to keep providing them with food. If that's the case, not only us, but your family won't be able to hold out for long!"

Although he had only known about it for a little over half a year, how could He Yuzhu possibly tell them?

"This is just the beginning, how do I know when to leave?

The neighbors were relieved to hear that it wouldn't last long.

Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao seemed to have smelled something and gritted their teeth. "It's okay, it's only for a few days. If the teachers and students come to the courtyard, we can still entertain them if we grit our teeth."

Hearing that Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao wanted to receive those teachers and students, Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang looked at them as if they were monsters.

Xu Damao naturally saw the expressions of the two people.

But at this critical moment he didn't intend to explain anything to these idiots. He was sure that He Yuzhu would receive him, and he would be right if he followed his lead.

Seeing Xu Damao, who was usually sharp-tongued and never willing to suffer a loss in words, smiled mysteriously and then strolled back home.
The neighbors were confused for a moment, and then looked at Liu Haizhong.
"Lao Liu, what exactly do you and Xu Damao mean?"

Unlike Xu Damao who likes to hide things when he has nothing to show for it and show it off when he has something to show for it, Liu Haizhong suddenly feels a little bit ecstatic when he sees so many neighbors surrounding him and asking questions.
"What does that mean? Didn't Zhuzi just tell us to actively welcome you?
Don't you think about what Zhuzi has done unreliably over the years? Then we should listen to him even more.
It’s just a little money and food. Can such a small thing be more important than life?

Okay, let’s go, let’s go! I have to go home too.”

After hearing Liu Haizhong's reminder, the neighbors thought it was the same. Now is not the time to be stingy with money, so just consider it as losing money to avoid disaster.

Most of the neighbors thought so, but stingy Yan Bugui and Jia Zhang, who was having a hard time, didn't think so and refused to spend any money.

But all this had nothing to do with He Yuzhu. He was at home at the moment instructing Lou Xiaoe on something.

He took out several badges from his pocket and handed them over.

Hearing He Yuzhu's words, Lou Xiao'e's eyes widened instantly.
Seeing that Lou Xiao'e didn't take it seriously, He Yuzhu couldn't help but solemnly warn,
"Xiao'e, this is not a small matter.
Wait a few days and look at the changes in Beijing, and you will understand why. "

Seeing He Yuzhu's serious words, Lou Xiao'e also took it seriously.
"Zhu Zi, do you know something there?"

"Xiao'e, I know what I know and I do what I do, but there are some things I can't say. I don't want to leave a bad impression."

Hearing this, Lou Xiaoe thought for a moment, pinned the badge on her chest and looked at He Yuzhu.
"Then I won't be leaving the yard for a while.

Anyway, Dad and Aunt Bai are retired, so if there is anything, just ask them to help. "

Hearing what Lou Xiao'e said, He Yuzhu still shook his head and mentioned the reception he had just told the neighbors.
"Some things cannot be avoided, we have to face them positively. As long as you do what I ask you to do, it will be much easier for me.

Do you understand? "
