"I listened to you and my father-in-law. When I got there, I met the boss's secretary. I asked him what film they were showing. He said they had some ready and told me to set up the equipment and play it, and then just give the normal explanation."
Jiang Fan nodded. He didn't think that a big shot of that level couldn't find a projectionist to watch a movie.
"What movie is playing?"
Xu Damao paused, "The Storm".
Jiang Fan took a puff of his cigarette. "The Storm" was a film directed by Jiang Fan in 59. It tells the story of a police chief whose father died in a train accident. The chief falsely accuses innocent people, sparking a struggle. It's mainly about workers' resistance.
Jiang Fan pondered for a moment, "Did they say anything?"
"They didn't say anything, just expressed their approval and recognition of some of the plots in the movie. I don't know what they talked about during dinner afterwards."
After seeing off Xu Damao, Jiang Fan had already taken out the monitoring equipment. When work started again after the New Year, he assigned this thing to each leader.
It's just that he usually focuses on the yard and doesn't pay much attention. Jiang Fan doesn't have the hobby of peeping at other people. It was just now that he suddenly remembered that he still had such a thing.
It’s not Jiang Fan’s fault. Everyone has moments of confusion. He has to look for a pen while holding it, and look for chopsticks while biting them.
I turned on the monitoring equipment and took a look.
The leader Li Huaide met today was none other than his father-in-law.
There were a few other people eating, but they were all on the same side.
During the meal, the matter of Xu Damao marrying Lou Zhenhua was indeed mentioned.
"Lou Zhenhua, he was indeed a character. Whether it was who he chose back then or how he voluntarily surrendered himself a few years ago, he was a man who knew the current affairs. It was just bad luck that the person who protected him died."
"Then father-in-law, should we talk to him?"
"Not yet. It's not the right time. It's not a good time to take action against people like them. It will easily lead to gossip. Besides, many people know Lou Zhenhua's attitude. Provoking trouble with them will easily provoke a reaction from others. However, if he is sensible, we can accept him changing his allegiance."
……
Exhaling, Jiang Fan glanced at the calendar. "It's only the 61st year, so there are still a few years until the plot begins. I wonder how the Lou family managed to survive."
But one thing is certain, everything is fine for now.
At the entrance to the courtyard, Jia Zhang was lying on a cart. Seeing the familiar scene again, tears welled up in her eyes. "Siheyuan, I missed you so much!"
With the support of Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang walked back home step by step.
The neighbors looked at Jia Zhang with a strange look on their faces. The place where the Jia family's grandparents and grandchildren had suffered in the past two days was not a clean place, which made people think more.
After returning home, Jia Zhang lay down on the bed. If she wanted to sleep lying down, she would probably have to rest for more than half a month.
When the Jia family was having dinner, Qin Huairu served a bowl of rice to Jia Zhangshi and placed it in her hand, but she did not feed her, saying that she still needed to make medicine for Banggeng.
Jia Zhang no longer dared to challenge Qin Huairu. Before she recovered, she had been the one who had stayed with her the longest. If Qin Huairu had any bad intentions and broke a few of her sutures, she would be in trouble.
Jia Zhang finally finished her meal and put her bowl and chopsticks aside. At this time, she heard the voice of Hai Ge, whom she had been thinking about.
"Dongxu, don't work so hard. I know you want to make up for the damage caused by the machine, but you have to know that it's not your fault."
Yi Zhonghai had heard from his coworkers that Jia Dongxu had been working very hard these past two days. He was terrified when the machine broke down last time. If Jia Dongxu died, his plan would be ruined too.
Jia Dongxu gave a bitter laugh. "Master, I know you care about me, but I can't get over this. Even though the factory director and the others said it had nothing to do with me, I did affect production. I'm the only one who delayed the factory, and I feel bad about it."
Yi Zhonghai was very pleased to hear this. The candidate he had chosen was indeed responsible. He took the initiative to take responsibility. How could he not provide for his retirement in the future?
Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai silently made an important decision in his heart. He decided to support Jia Dongxu financially.
At the Jiang family dinner table, Jiang Fan told his family about Ding Lei's situation. No one reacted much, and the family was not short of food.
Instead, Shen Yue asked, is Ding Lei reliable?
"Among my colleagues, I have the best relationship with him, and he's pretty reliable."
Shen Yue nodded. After listening to it, she figured it out. It was nothing more than that their family had strong fighting power and they wanted to recruit him as a bodyguard.
But at the same time, a large number of people also makes them conspicuous. If they encounter a cleanup operation, it will be difficult for so many people to escape. Moreover, the man named Yu Dao had offended someone and had to flee. This is not good news and is a bit risky.
After analyzing it, Jiang Fan understood what his mother meant. He could just refuse. He could also use the excuse that he also had a friend.
As for whether it will affect their relationship, it will definitely, but what can be done about it? It's normal for friends to have disagreements, and some even become strangers because of disagreements. So what's the big deal?
The next day, in front of Ding Lei's puzzled gaze, Jiang Fan told him that he could not accompany him to go shopping.
Although Ding Lei didn't understand, he didn't force it. After all, he wasn't the only one looking for Jiang Fan.
"Jiang Fan, if you don't go, you have to keep this a secret for me."
Jiang Fan naturally agreed. He was not a talkative person, and he didn't know Ding Lei's plan.
……
A few days later, the Cai family in the backyard went out to the black market to buy things under the cover of night.
After the family left, Jiang Fan also opened his eyes, changed into the prepared clothes and followed them.
He hadn't forgotten what Li Yun had said about their family in the yard. It would be fine if he didn't take it seriously, but if he did, it would be a problem.
At the edge of the black market, Jiang Fan looked at Cai Dazhuang and the other two who came out carrying a small cloth bag.
Following them, on the way away from the black market, I slapped them one by one, knocking them to the ground.
After taking the cloth bag and the few dollars left from the three people, Jiang Fan turned and left.
After walking two steps, he turned back and looked at Li Yun lying on the ground. Jiang Fan took out a small bottle, opened her mouth and poured the wine into it.
This is a little gadget he made himself. It doesn't have much effect. It just makes people get angry and suffer from mouth ulcers.
Oral ulcers are a disease that cannot be cured. Twice a month, once every half a month, it can ensure that Li Yun will feel pain when opening his mouth.
Chapter 281 Retaliation
If you can't speak properly, then don't speak at all, or you'll easily become like Jia Zhang.
As for why it was not given to Jia Zhangshi, it is a pain for every mouth to suffer.
I think given Jia Zhang's personality, she wouldn't choose to have a mouth ulcer after knowing this.
Two hours later, Cai Dazhuang woke up first.
A man in his forties woke up with a pale face and immediately fumbled around. Half a minute later, he kicked his wife and child awake with a sullen look.
"Wake up! Don't sleep anymore!"
Li Yun and Cai Kun were kicked awake with two kicks. Cai Dazhuang's face was gloomy with a hint of fear.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Cai Kun rubbed his eyes. He had slept soundly just now, except that the bed was a little hard and there was no quilt, so he felt a little cold.
Li Yun was the same. He opened his eyes and was about to talk nonsense, but he immediately stopped when he met Cai Dazhuang's vicious gaze.
"Sleep! All you know is sleep! We were robbed, didn't you know that?"
Cai Dazhuang's roar finally brought the two dazed people back to their senses. They looked around and instantly came to their senses, with cold sweat running down their foreheads.
After searching himself hurriedly, Li Yun asked, "Da Zhuang, where is our food? Where is our money?"
The medicine has not yet taken effect and Li Yun's mouth has not yet rotted.
"It's already a robbery, do you think they'll leave us any money?"
"Dad, report it to the police. You must report it to the police." Cai Kun said hurriedly.
"I'll report you to my uncle!"
Cai Dazhuang kicked him again. He really couldn't understand what was going on in the minds of his wife and son.
They were able to knock out three of them so quietly, so they must be a large group. Who knows if they're watching them right now? And they're still yelling, are they crazy?
As for reporting it to the police, that's out of the question! There have been countless black market robberies in the past two years. I haven't seen many people caught, and even if they were caught, I'm afraid there wouldn't be any compensation.
But he didn't understand why they would be targeted just for buying that small bag of noodles?
He kicked his wife and son again, and the three of them returned to the courtyard dejectedly.
However, it is certain that the three members of the Cai family will not be able to sleep tonight.
The next morning.
Li Yun stood up and moved his mouth slightly, and a pain came from his body.
"Hi~"
The pain made Li Yun afraid to speak, but he frowned and drooled. (This is what happens when I have mouth ulcers, especially when applying medicine.)
Li Yun also knew that she had a mouth ulcer, but she just endured the pain and felt it, and the area of the ulcer was quite large.
Half of the inside of my mouth was rotten.
Li Yun pushed Cai Dazhuang who was lying beside him and wanted to tell him the sad fact.
"What are you pushing me for? I finally felt a little sleepy, but you pushed it away."
Cai Dazhuang did a crocodile roll, leaving his back to Li Yun.
Li Yun was stunned and could only helplessly endure the pain. She didn't dare to speak. It hurt, it hurt too much.
Jiang Fan slept soundly, but he was startled when he thought that Li Yun had a sore mouth and couldn't eat or sleep well for half a month and couldn't speak.
Jiang Fan felt that he was truly kindhearted. He had done such a great thing to help the Cai family save food. He was undoubtedly the best person in the courtyard.
Li Yun's incident did not cause much of a stir in the courtyard. He was just slightly injured, and it did not affect the lives of the neighbors.
However, after entering March, when Jia Zhang's health gradually improved and she was able to walk around, rumors about Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang spread again in the courtyard.
The main point is that all the expenses during Jia Zhang's hospitalization were covered by Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai even took care of Jia Zhang's eating, drinking, defecating, urinating and sleeping in the hospital. The relationship between the two was very close.
The person behind this is naturally our Xu Damao. Ever since Li Huaide took Xu Damao to show movies, Xu Damao was a little nervous in the first few days, fearing that something would happen and ruin his happy life.
But for a long time, there were no problems, so he relaxed.
As soon as he relaxed, his heart that wanted to cause trouble became restless, and without thinking, he inadvertently revealed what Xu Xin had told him before about Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi in the hospital.
This immediately sparked heated discussions among the neighbors.
That day, Jia Zhang walked out of the yard. As soon as she left, the neighbors started murmuring.
"Let me tell you, this Jia Zhang has long had her eyes on Yi Zhonghai. They got together before old Jia died."
"Really? Then do you think Lao Jia's death has something to do with this? Just like Pan Jinlian and Wu Dalang?"
"It's probably related. Do you remember that before Lao Jia died, he was taking medicine every day? Now it seems so."
Some people agree with this statement, but there are naturally other opinions.
"That's not right. What I heard was that Yi Zhonghai fell in love with Jia Zhang after his divorce and never left her. When Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu were unwilling to take care of her, he took the initiative to go to the hospital and take care of her for a whole day."
"What you said makes some sense, but I'm more inclined to believe that Yi Zhonghai's favorite is Qin Huairu, not Jia Zhang."
Everyone immediately turned their attention to the person who said this. This was a new version that they had never heard before, and it seemed to be even more exciting.
"Ahem, according to my third aunt's sister-in-law's younger brother's sister-in-law's nephew, Yi Zhonghai and Bang Geng are very likely father and son. Don't you think Bang Geng and Yi Zhonghai look a lot like each other?"
Some things are better left unsaid and unconnected, but once they are said, it is easy to connect them.
"You know what, look at Banggeng's ears, they really do look a bit like Yi Zhonghai."
"And the hairstyle is a bit similar too."
Several people were talking one after another, almost saying that they saw Qin Huairu and Yi Zhonghai having an affair.
That is to say, there is no DNA test now, otherwise the status of these people cannot be fully proven through testing.
Time passed little by little, and it was time to get off work at the steel mill.
Liu Haizhong came back with a gloomy face. Today, he was taught a lesson by their workshop director, a fifth-level blacksmith, for a trivial matter in the factory.
He didn't dare to refute it, because in his mind, the workshop director was an official, a leader. He was just an ordinary person, how could he resist the leader?
"That damn Li Jixiang, isn't he just a small workshop director? How dare he treat me like this? Wait until I become a leader, and then you'll see how I take care of you!"
Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth, and the desire to become an official surged in his heart again.
At this time, the Liu Guangtian brothers, who were unaware of their father's mood, suddenly came into Liu Haizhong's sight.
"Get over here, you two!"
The angry roar from Liu Haizhong sent chills down the spines of the Liu Guangtian brothers.
