Life in siheyuan era

The sky was gray, gloomy, and cold. The sidewalks along Chang'an Street were crowded with men, women, and children, stretching endlessly to the east and west. People wore black纱 armbands and white flowers on their chests...

The man he had admired his entire life was gone. He could only stand silently in the crowd of mourners, listening to the weeping around him, his right arm tightly around Shen Lan's shoulder, tears streaming down his face.

He was gone, and the curtain of this era began to fall slowly.

Eight months later, the person he admired most in his life also passed away, and this era came to an end.

To be honest, this era had tied his hands and feet, but he willingly obeyed orders and listened to commands. As long as he was given an order, he would immediately put down the money in his hands and do the life-risking work.

With just another word, he would obediently return to his position and do the money-counting work.

Over the years, his heart had only known the word 'awe'. Even if the Niwan monarch transformed into a small fruit, he would not dare to harbor any thoughts.

And at this moment, he knew that this era was coming to an end, but he still had no thoughts, only standing on the street and silently shedding tears.

After he successively saw them off, many major events happened later, and he also participated in some actions under orders, but at this time he still had no thoughts.

But two years later, he began to think about his own affairs, because more than ten years later, the term 'the people' reverted back, and he was just an ordinary citizen. At this time, he had to think about the daily necessities of ordinary people.

By then, people no longer addressed each other as 'Comrade'. The terms 'Mr.' and 'Miss' gradually changed their meaning in this land.

Later, people were at a loss as to how to address each other, so the terms 'Master' and 'Sister' appeared, and later they simply called each other 'Brother' and 'Beauty'!

But at this time, the term 'Comrade' was still common. When Lao Nie questioned Zhou Zhiyuan, he still used the term 'Comrade': "Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan, you want to contract, do you want to take the capitalist road?"

"I am a firm WCJJ fighter." Zhou Zhiyuan first stated his position, and then solemnly said, "Represented by you, the organization, when have I not obeyed?"

Zhou Zhiyuan asked back, seemingly aggrieved.

So Lao Nie thought carefully, but couldn't be sure whether he had obeyed or not? It seemed that he was always persuaded by him.

And this time it was still the same. Zhou Zhiyuan once again used his silver tongue, "The economic environment has been opened up. The street vendors selling large bowls of tea can earn more than one hundred yuan a month, but our employees only earn that little fixed salary every month. How can we increase wages for everyone without contracting?"

"Now the general trend is set, and the piece of meat is right there. Whoever grabs it first eats it. The two of us can eat cornbread with pickles, because we have this awareness. But you let these employees also eat cornbread while watching others eat meat? If this scene appears, it is our incompetence. Aren't you afraid of being poked in the back by the employees? I'm quite afraid, how about you?"

These words hit Lao Nie's soft spot, he was also afraid.

But he must adhere to the principle, "Comrade Zhou Zhiyuan, you can contract, but this is a public enterprise, and the employees are all public people. Absolutely no oppression is allowed."

"With you here, would I dare?"

These words made Lao Nie feel comfortable. He waved his hand, which was considered to have passed. The Sunshine Hotel, Sunshine Restaurant, and Sunshine Kindergarten officially became enterprises contracted by Zhou Zhiyuan, and the Sunshine Catering Company was established.

Seeing Zhou Zhiyuan come back, Yuan Shi took a step back and stood beside him, whispering, "They took down WZX's portrait and smashed it."

With just a simple sentence, Zhou Zhiyuan's calm heart was instantly disturbed, and a burst of anger surged out. He shouted, "You NN's..." and then stepped forward and punched out.

Then a message rushed into the military hospital, "Sunshine Catering Company General Manager Zhou Zhiyuan beat a customer..."

Hearing this news, Shen Lan blinked gently, while Liu Junling put down her chopsticks and asked cheerfully, "How old is your man?"

Shen Lan sighed, "He's like this no matter how old he is. He gets into trouble as soon as you don't see him!" Saying that, she put down her chopsticks and got up to walk out. Liu Junling hurriedly got up and chased after her, with a look of schadenfreude on her face.

Zhou Zhiyuan was arrested by the police station. Liu Junling really wanted to see what he looked like in handcuffs?

But she was disappointed. As soon as she walked into the police station, she could hear Zhou Zhiyuan's roar, "You TM are cowards, if you encounter such ZZ, beat them to death for me, I'll take responsibility if something happens."

Then she heard Xu Laosan's shout: "You should have said it earlier, you didn't say it, and now you blame me? I'm wronged!"

"Wronged my ass, can you die if you use your brain a little? The old man's portrait is my bottom line, don't you know?"

Hearing these words, Shen Lan pursed her lips slightly.

And Liu Junling immediately knew the cause and effect. It was a very important condition that could make Zhou Zhiyuan take action personally.

The two walked into this door one after the other, and saw Zhou Zhiyuan walking back and forth in the room, Yuan Shi standing on the side with his head down, and Xu Laosan, who shouted, was still drooping his head.

And a middle-aged policeman said at this time: "President Zhou, this is a police station, you have to give us some face, right?"

"This face..."

Zhou Zhiyuan spoke angrily, and Shen Lan immediately interjected, "Director Liu's face must be given."

This voice made the tense atmosphere in the room suddenly relax. Zhou Zhiyuan turned around and saw Shen Lan, blinked gently, and stopped talking.

And Yuan Shi and Xu Laosan breathed a sigh of relief, looked up at Zhou Zhiyuan, then at Shen Lan, and the expressions on their faces relaxed.

Director Liu's face immediately showed a smile, and he said happily: "Doctor Shen is here, what do you think about this matter..."

Director Liu knew that President Zhou of Sunshine Catering Company was definitely henpecked. If he couldn't get through to him, he would go to the military hospital to find Doctor Shen. As long as Doctor Shen agreed, this matter would be passed.

He knew that Zhou Zhiyuan's identity was not simple. The leaders of the Municipal Bureau often patronized the Sunshine Grand Hotel, and it was public.

And some people in military uniforms came in and out of the hotel, as if the hotel was theirs.

Director Liu had also eaten at the hotel and seen these soldiers. Each of them had a extraordinary temperament, and they walked straight in as soon as they entered the door. The waiters didn't even greet them. It was obvious that they were acquaintances.

And before he took office, he had heard of Zhou Zhiyuan. Sun Haiwu, the former branch captain who had retired, had told him, "Don't make decisions about matters involving Zhou Zhiyuan. Immediately report them to the Municipal Bureau out of turn. The leaders of the branch bureau will not find fault with you. If you report it, it has nothing to do with you."

Director Liu was very obedient, but today's matter could not be reported to the Municipal Bureau. Zhou Zhiyuan beat five young people, all of whom were unharmed and covered in mud. It is said that each person rolled on the ground for more than ten minutes after being punched.

During this period, no one called the police. It was only after the young people recovered that they ran to the police station to report the crime.

Knowing the reason, Director Liu was also very angry, but what could he do?

At this time, a voice against MZX had already appeared in the society. He couldn't help it that the above didn't let him manage it, so he could only personally invite Zhou Zhiyuan to settle the case.

So as soon as he walked into the hotel, he heard Zhou Zhiyuan's roar coming from him. He was scolding Yuan Shi and Xu Laosan, and it is said that he had been scolding for more than half an hour.

But he wasn't finished yet. He had to continue scolding all the way with Yuan Shi and Xu Laosan after accepting Director Liu's invitation. Fortunately, Doctor Shen arrived.

With Shen Lan present, this matter was easy to handle. She gave each of the five young people one hundred yuan, and the five young people immediately withdrew the case.

So Director Liu sent a few people out with satisfaction, watching them standing on the side of the road talking.

And Shen Lan only said one sentence to Zhou Zhiyuan coldly: "I'll deal with you when we get home."

She said it very coldly, but Liu Junling absolutely didn't believe it. These phoenix eyes exposed the real result. How could she deal with him with full of love?

Liu Junling didn't believe it, but Shen Lan completed the necessary procedures. She wouldn't hide her eyes, she had to make a quick decision, said a word coldly and walked away.

So Liu Junling looked at Zhou Zhiyuan and quickly stepped forward to chase after her.

And Zhou Zhiyuan, who had been bowing his head, raised his head slightly and smiled, then turned to Yuan Shi and said in a low voice, "Find those people, this matter is not over until they kowtow three times to the old man's portrait."

"I'll do it right away." Yuan Shi agreed and strode away, while Xu Laosan looked at Zhou Zhiyuan and quickly chased after him.

He would also use his brain. Would he stay here and wait for Zhou Zhiyuan to continue scolding him?

Zhou Zhiyuan was really angry, Xu Laosan could see it, and all the employees of the hotel could see it too. Seeing him come in with a sullen face, they immediately hid far away.

Fortunately, there was still someone who dared to speak. Guo Yanhong hurried over and said in a low voice, "Secretary Nie is looking for you."

He knew that Lao Nie would look for him, and he also knew what Lao Nie meant by not showing up all the time. He walked into this office and looked at the broken portrait on the table, listening to him saying in a low voice, "Take down the portraits in each private room, and only hang them in your and my offices."

Lao Nie said a word, and when he didn't hear any movement from him, he looked up at him and said in a deep voice, "Do you want MZX to watch these people eat, drink and be merry?"

These words made Zhou Zhiyuan sit weakly on the sofa and roar in a low voice "M's."

Immediately, Lao Nie's low roar came: "M's."

This was a helpless thing, and Zhou Zhiyuan accepted Lao Nie's suggestion.

When he watched the employees take down the portraits from each room, pack them carefully and send them to the storage room, he suddenly had a feeling of relief in his heart, and the last shackle that bound him in the dark was also untied.
