Restarting life by going to the countryside to support medical work

Chapter 46 Thinking

"What Cai Fangchao's wife said yesterday was indeed wrong. I talked about it with your aunt last night.

Dacheng, you have cursed me, but you also found a way to hang up a sign like that. Now no one will have any ideas about your room anymore.

I won't let you just pretend that this never happened. After all, it did happen. And let me tell you something, if someone were to try to take my house like that, I would fight him to the death.

However, since it has already happened and you have already used the method you are using to deal with it, don't talk about it anymore.

We all live in the same courtyard, especially your two families are in the inner courtyard. You see each other every day. If you make it too ugly, you will just be laughed at by others.

If we can get along well in the future, we can continue to do so. If not, just be ordinary neighbors.

But don't curse all the time, it's not good for anyone. Fang Chao's father is also a leader now, what do you think, Dacheng?"

After hearing what Lao Zhao said, Li Yancheng didn't rush to say anything. He lowered his head and took a few puffs of his cigarette. After thinking for a while, he nodded and said, "Uncle Zhao, as long as they don't provoke me again in the future, I can choose not to provoke them, but..."

“No buts.”

Old Zhao didn't wait for Li Yancheng to finish his words and directly took over and said, "If they do anything or say anything excessive in the future, I will never say anything even if you fight with them, and I will definitely help you."

Comrade Lao Zhao felt the same as Jin Zhihai just now, and was confused about Li Yancheng's changes.

He also couldn't understand why a person's personality would change so much after he became an adult. It could be said that he was completely reborn.

In fact, he was also angry. After coming home from get off work last night and hearing what happened in the morning from his third child, he did talk to Cai Fangchao and Fu Xiuli.

He didn't think about what Li Yancheng would do, he just felt that Fu Xiuli shouldn't say that.

At that time, he was still thinking whether he could make a big deal out of a small matter and let Cai Fangchao and his wife apologize to Li Yancheng, saying that they did not mean it and that things just came to that point.

In the end, the two of them didn't take it to heart and disagreed, thinking that Li Yancheng wouldn't dare to do anything.

Now that was the problem. The other person had almost cursed them by name, and the two of them heard it clearly from outside. Their faces were as ugly as coal balls, but they still didn't show any temper at all.

Alas, why bother?

"Uncle Zhao, I'm sorry to trouble you."

Hearing this, Comrade Lao Zhao smiled. He knew that nothing would happen to Li Yancheng anymore. As for the couple, if they dared to cause trouble again, he would deal with them no matter who his father was.

"Dacheng, you probably aren't familiar with the new comrade Fan Chunmei, right?"

"I'm really not familiar with her. I chatted with Brother Zhao at the door when I came back just now. I only know that she is Mo Yalin's widow, and I don't know much else."

"The Mo family... hehe..." Speaking of that family, Old Zhao shook his head with a wry smile. What happened to this family was really too weird. Anyone who was an old resident in this alley knew about it. This thing was a bit too mysterious and no one knew what to say.

I don’t dare to talk about these mysterious things now, because who knows if there are ears behind the walls.

"She will have to live in our courtyard for at least a year. But after all, she is a widow with a child. You should try to have less contact with her, so as not to let people gossip about her, which will make it difficult for you to find a wife in the future.

If she has any difficulties, let her come to me. You should stay out of the way and I will help if I can. In fact, there shouldn't be too many difficulties.

She took over Yalin's shift. The factory took care of her and didn't let her work in the factory. Instead, she sold goods in the sales department of the Aluminum Products Factory in Dongsi.

I heard from Mr. Zhang from the neighborhood committee that she is now being paid as a second-year apprentice and can receive nearly twenty yuan per month.

Twenty yuan is more than enough for her and her mother to live on. Besides, she also has the pension from her mother-in-law's death. "Thank you, Uncle Zhao, for reminding me. I'll remember it."

This is for his own good, so he should thank them.

Fan Chunmei's mother-in-law, Mo Yalin's mother, passed away after her son passed away.

Like Lao Zhao's wife, she works in the glove factory run by the street committee.

The reason for her death was excessive grief. Think about it, her husband died first and then her son, how could she not be sad?

As for why there is a pension, it is because she was suddenly absent while working in the factory, which is equivalent to collapsing at her workplace, and the street office must make some statement.

The pension was twenty months' salary, which was nearly five hundred yuan.

The enterprises run by the street office all pay on a piece-rate basis, which basically comes to 90 cents a day. There is no pay if you take leave or if you take Sundays or holidays.

Those who work in this kind of enterprise are unemployed people in the jurisdiction of this office, because the work is relatively easy and basically does not involve physical labor, and the majority of them are women.

The glove factory makes those knitted white-line labor protection gloves. Now each office has its own enterprise, making a loss but gaining publicity just to allow the common people to have something to eat, which can be considered a welfare.

By the 1970s, most of these enterprises had gone bankrupt and had been losing money all the time, and the street offices could no longer sustain themselves.

After all, the subdistrict office itself has no income and relies entirely on fiscal appropriations. If it keeps using fiscal funds to fill the gap, how can it do other work?

Just like the renovation work of No. 31 Courtyard, it will cost a lot of money, and the leaders of the street office are still having a headache.

"Okay, Dacheng." Comrade Lao Zhao put out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray, slapped his thigh and stood up.

"You just got back from the night shift, so I won't disturb your rest. Just remember what I told you."

"Don't worry, Uncle Zhao, I remember it very well."

"Haha... you kid, after three months of being a medical volunteer, your personality has indeed changed a lot since you came back. No matter what, don't be so impulsive when encountering problems. Come to me if you have any problems. After all, I watched you grow up.

When Mr. Li was gone, he asked me to take good care of you. Alas, I didn't expect that so many things would happen after he had been gone for so long. Fortunately, you are still safe, otherwise I don't know how to explain to him. "

At the beginning of last year, Li Yancheng was taken away for questioning for three days. Lao Zhao was busy looking for people outside.

"I'm sorry to trouble you for my matter, Uncle Zhao."

"Let's not talk about politeness." Old Zhao waved his hand, turned around and walked towards the door.

"Hey Uncle Zhao"

"Ok?"

"If the school resumes classes, Mingjun High School will graduate. Aren't there calls for the middle school to resume classes now?"

"Yeah, yes, what's wrong?" Old Zhao looked at Li Yancheng in confusion, not knowing why he suddenly said this.

"Then you'd better find a job for him now, otherwise you won't be able to arrange one when the time comes and you won't know where to find him to join the queue.

You should also know what happened to Duan Fengjuan from the old Duan family next door when she was sent to work in the countryside in Mulin Town. This was in the suburbs. If she had been assigned to another province..."
