Siheyuan: Traveling through three years to gain the power of a palm

And if Qin Huairu also came to work, he would no longer be able to have meals as soon as he got home and have his clothes washed regularly.

Then there would be no point for Yi Zhonghai to live with the Jia family.

So he didn't want Qin Huairu to go to work, but he couldn't say it directly, so he could only use this method to remind Jia Dongxu.

Fortunately, Jia Dongxu really values ​​his children, and now he has almost given up the idea of ​​finding a job for Qin Huairu.

While everyone was eating, Sha Zhu took a walk alone to the place where bicycles were parked at the steel rolling mill.

"It's not this one, nor this one, nor this one. Why haven't I noticed so many people riding bicycles in the factory before? Aren't they said to be rare?"

Sha Zhu was so anxious that he jumped up and down. He looked everywhere but couldn't find Xu Damao's bicycle.

"Where the hell did Xu Damao park his bike? The factory doesn't allow bicycles to be parked anywhere else."

Sha Zhu's behavior of looking for a car was seen by the security personnel who had just finished their meal.

"Hey, look over there in the parking shed, isn't that the guy from the cafeteria?"

"Really? What is he doing there? Looking for a car?"

"He doesn't have a car. He's not trying to steal car parts and sell them."

The others' eyes lit up and their gazes towards Sha Zhu became fiery.

"We can't rule out this possibility. Brothers, our chance to make a contribution has arrived. Let's get him!"

Several people ran towards Sha Zhu at the speed of a 100-meter sprint, just like a wolf that had been hungry for several days seeing a lone sheep.

Sha Zhu felt the vibration coming from the ground, turned around suddenly, and saw four big men rushing towards him.

He looked terrified and ran away, "Hey, don't come over here."

However, his resistance was doomed to be meaningless. In three seconds, Sha Zhu was subdued.

"Tell me, are you planning on stealing bicycle parts and selling them?"

"Tell me, are you planning to plant a bomb in the carport to cause panic?"

"Tell me, do you want to... tell me or not!"

Sha Zhu was pinned to the ground, listening to these fabricated accusations, and a nameless anger surged in his heart, "Speak, what the hell! I dropped something, can't I come over here to look for it?"

The security personnel who had restrained Sha Zhu felt somewhat embarrassed when they heard this. After looking at each other, they felt that what they had done was indeed inappropriate, so they let Sha Zhu go.

Sha Zhu stood up, rubbed his shoulders, and dusted himself off. "I'm telling you, you're in trouble. You're in big trouble. As a security officer, you arrested me without any reason. I'm going to sue you!"

Li Er's face was filled with displeasure; this was the first time he'd been threatened. "Sue us? Fine, then let's go to the Security Department. I want to see what a cook like Sha Zhu, who doesn't even have a bicycle, could have dropped here! Wang Da, Zhao Si, let's invite Comrade Sha Zhu to the Security Department. Xu San, go notify our Chief."

Chapter 306 Prediction

The one who was scared when these words came out was Sha Zhu. He grabbed Li Er's hand and said sincerely, "Everyone is eating now. I don't think it's necessary to disturb everyone because of my little thing."

Li Er raised an eyebrow at him and said jokingly, "Shazhu, don't force yourself. We in the Security Department value fairness the most."

"I'm not being forced at all. This is what I really mean."

The two men looked at each other, suddenly laughed, and then Li Er left with his men.

After Li Er left, Sha Zhu started mumbling again while looking at the bicycles. "Why do all these bicycles look the same? Forget it, I'll go to Xu Damao's house tonight to look for one. Those firecrackers shouldn't explode, right?"

"Why can Xu Damao catch the gold thieves? He has nothing to lose."

Sha Zhu scratched his head and returned to the cafeteria filled with worry. He was frightened by what his colleague said. If the bomb really exploded, he might be charged with murdering a meritorious official.

After lunch, Jiang Fan returned to the office and was immediately met with resentful gazes from his colleagues.

"Old Jiang, you're being disloyal. It's such a big deal, and we, your colleagues, only found out about it at the conference. Is that reasonable?"

Ding Lei leaned back in his chair like a nagging wife. "It's faded, it's faded, the feelings have faded. You're no longer the simple old Jiang who just joined the technical department."

"I say, you guys, stop it. You're all acting like some resentful woman in the boudoir, making me look like the bastard who ran away with his pants pulled up. Besides, our section chief has known about this for a long time. He didn't tell you, so why don't you go and cause trouble for him?" Jiang Fan looked at his colleagues angrily.

"He's the section chief. We don't dare to get angry in front of him. We might get harassed." Ye Yu curled her lips. She was still quite upset that Han Daguo had concealed this news. Because she asked the people in the publicity department, they basically knew about Xu Damao's meritorious service.

Among the three departments, their technical department has the strictest confidentiality.

"If you say bad things about me behind my back, will I not make things difficult for you?" Han Daguo's voice suddenly sounded, scaring Ye Yu.

"Section Chief."

Han Daguo said with a serious face, "You all just hang around here to get information. Why don't you study hard and take the exam when the assessment resumes? You can get an extra ten yuan if you take the next level."

Listening to Han Daguo's lecture, everyone fell silent. The work-level assessments had basically been suspended, even for their technicians. Therefore, the technical staff had become quite slack in their studies.

Fortunately, Han Daguo didn't really want to teach them a lesson. After saying a few words, he began to explain why he concealed the news about Jiang Fan.

"It's not that the Propaganda Department doesn't want to hide it, it's that they can't. If we keep them in the dark, who will organize the meeting? Ye Yu, will you do it?"

Ye Yu shook her head, "I can't do that."

"That's good to know." Han Daguo glared at her and continued, "Over at the Security Department, their chief is involved. How can we hide it? If you want to shut up a bunch of military officers, you might as well ask them to paint."

"Hum"

Several people lowered their heads and chuckled.

"Alright, I know about the bet you guys made. We originally forbid it, but since you didn't gamble for money, I won't pursue it. But as people, you must be honest. Zhao Wen, Ding Lei, and Ye Yu, since you three lost, then you will take on Jiang Fan's work for the next month as agreed."

"Yes!"

The three of them agreed in unison.

Seeing this, Jiang Fan also spoke up, "Chief, this is a great opportunity. I'm planning to take some time out over the next two days to have a meal with everyone. We can share in the good fortune. After all, this is a happy event for our department."

"It's up to you to decide."

Han Daguo has never cared about these things. After all, it is a personal matter.

Ding Lei and the other two were quite happy.

……

After get off work at the steel mill, Sha Zhu immediately rushed out of the cafeteria and waited at the factory gate. He wanted to see if Xu Damao had come to work on his bicycle today.

After returning to the cafeteria at noon today, he was completely absent-minded. His mind was full of the scene where Xu Damao was blown up while riding his bicycle and he was arrested after the investigation.

Finally, he was in jail, holding a steamed bun in his hand, and there was not a drop of oil in the dish.

Standing by the window, watching his wife hugging their child and snuggling with another man, he cried and told her, "Brother Zhuzi, don't blame me. You just don't want your child to have a criminal father, right?"

Sha Zhu didn't want this to happen and just wanted to get the firecrackers out as soon as possible.

People were coming and going at the entrance of the steel mill. Some workers were walking quickly with their lunch boxes in hand. They all wanted to go home early and bring today's dishes home for their families to taste.

Others talked a lot, talking about how delicious the food was and how they would show their prowess and win merits if they met the gold thieves.

Sha Zhu stood at the factory gate, like a husband-waiting stone, looking for Xu Damao's figure in the crowd.

Here, Xu Damao took the reward issued today and rushed through the crowded crowd to come to Jiang Fan's family.

"Brother Ping'an, please help me get some."

Jiang Pingan took the item and put it on his bicycle. "Da Mao, aren't you afraid that I won't give it to you?"

"Well, if you like it, just take it. This is enough for me." Xu Damao took out the third-class medal of honor, his eyes full of joy.

"Wow, Damao is so generous. By the way, why don't you ride a bike?"

"I didn't ride here today because I was afraid that my clothes would get wrinkled and it would not look good when I went on stage to receive the award." Xu Damao adjusted his Zhongshan suit. This was a suit specially made for him by Lou Zhenhua after he learned about his meritorious service. It was a very suitable suit.

After leaving the steel mill, Jiang Dalei stepped on the pedals and Jiang Daniu sat behind him. "Then Damao, you can just walk back. We'll ride our bikes."

Jiang Fan didn't get in the car as usual. Instead, he said to his family, "Dad, you guys go back first. Damao and I will go together. Brother, you go pick up my sister-in-law from get off work."

On the way home, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao walked side by side.

"Are you busy tomorrow? Come over for dinner. My dad wants to thank you again."

Jiang Fan nodded, "Okay. But are you sure it's okay in the yard?"

Xu Damao asked doubtfully, "What's the problem? Who are we eating next to at home?"

Jiang Fan said with a smile, "Have you forgotten about that old fellow Yi Zhonghai? Given his personality, he'll probably claim this is an honor for our compound and ask us to contribute some money or something, so we can buy something for Sha Zhu to cook for everyone to cheer them up."

Xu Damao said angrily, "He dares! I can't kill him with my kicks!"

Jiang Fan added, "That's still respectable. Even worse, they might even claim that life in the courtyard is difficult and ask us to contribute our jobs at a low price or even for free."

Xu Damao frowned. "Could Yi Zhonghai be so stupid? Who could promise him this?"

Jiang Fan shook his head slightly. "That's hard to say. Even if he doesn't show up, he'll incite others privately. Our two families are already conspicuous in the courtyard, and now they're even more conspicuous. Our family is easy to deal with, as we have a large family and a lot of power. There are only a few of us in your family, and Uncle Xu and the others can't live in the courtyard for long. You still have to go to work, so it's inevitable that someone will target your sister-in-law and the children."

Chapter 307: Unfilial Son

Yi Zhonghai, who was also walking on the road, was also thinking. Today, when he saw Jiang Fan and Xu Damao on the stage with high spirits, he felt very uncomfortable.

He wondered how these two people deserved such honor and so many benefits.

At this moment, he was thinking about how to get something out of the rewards given by Jiang Fan and Xu Damao, just as he had said to Jiang Fan.

According to Yi Zhonghai's three views, Jiang Fan and Xu Damao are their neighbors, and everyone is part of the courtyard. Therefore, the honor that Jiang Fan and Xu Damao received is the honor of the entire courtyard.

Didn’t you see that the steel mill held a meeting to commend them for this matter?

By the same token, the benefits they gain are naturally benefits for everyone, and it is only natural that they share a portion of them with their neighbors.

As the saying goes, happiness is shared with others, happiness of one person means nothing, it is right only when everyone is happy, just like eating pork in the steel mill today.

Only in this way can the relationship between neighbors be harmonious. More importantly, you will gain the goodwill of your neighbors. In the future, if there is any problem at home, the neighbors will lend a hand.

As Yi Zhonghai thought about this, his mood gradually improved. However, he also knew that he could not accomplish this matter by himself, so he could only unite all the neighbors to go to the door and talk things out.

At the entrance to the courtyard, Liu Guangtian sat smiling, waiting for Liu Haizhong's return. He had already received confirmation from the people who had returned: Jiang Fan and Xu Damao were the ones being honored today.

This made him very happy, and he smiled at everyone he met. When others asked him what he was doing, he would say that he was waiting for his son to come back. Liu Guangfu, who was standing next to him, laughed.

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Guangtian at the door, he asked, "Liu Guangtian, is your father back?"

Liu Guangtian shook his head. "No, I'm just waiting for him here."

Yi Zhonghai nodded and planned to talk to Liu Haizhong about this matter after dinner. As soon as he stepped through the door, he heard someone talking.

"Liu Guangtian, aren't you waiting here for your son? Why are you waiting for your father too?"

Liu Guangtian smiled crookedly and said, "Isn't this understandable? The son I'm waiting for is Liu Haizhong!"

boom!

Like thunder in dry land, Yi Zhonghai fell to the ground in shock. Although Jia Dongxu was also extremely shocked, he quickly helped Yi Zhonghai up.

Yi Zhonghai stood up, not even bothering to dust himself off. He pointed his right finger at Liu Guangtian with an expression of disbelief on his face, "Liu Guangtian, what did you just say?"

Liu Guangtian looked at him in confusion. "Why didn't you hear clearly? I said, I'm waiting for my son - Liu Haizhong! How about it, is it clear enough?"

Yi Zhonghai heard it clearly, and his anger grew even stronger! What he valued most in his life was providing for his old age, and providing for his old age first required filial piety.

He has also been promoting this matter. Whenever any child in the yard behaves unfilially, he will go up and criticize them, using traditional virtues to justify the behavior.

A few days ago, he was quite unhappy about the Liu brothers' resistance to Liu Haizhong. He felt that even if Liu Haizhong was wrong to beat his son, the Liu brothers could not say such things about Liu Haizhong in front of Director Wang.

Now Liu Haizhong was so outrageous as to say such words in front of him and Jia Dongxu, so of course he was very angry!

"Liu Guangtian! How dare you say that? You are simply lawless and treasonous!"

Liu Guangtian frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai with an unfriendly look, "Yi Zhonghai, what do you care about what I say? I have the right to say whatever I want."

"You are a traitor! Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Old Liu, you unfilial son!" Yi Zhonghai blushed and was about to hit Liu Guangtian.

There was no way Liu Guangtian would just stand there and take the beating. He relied on his agility to dodge Yi Zhonghai's first slap attack.

Liu Guangtian is not someone you can easily mess with now. Ever since he became the master at home, his temper has become more and more violent, as if all the grievances and sorrows he suffered in the past have turned into nourishment for his violent temper.

"Yi Zhonghai! You old fool, you really dare to hit me! Take my punch!"

Liu Guangtian clenched his fist and punched Yi Zhonghai right in the eye.

Yi Zhonghai cried out, covered his eyes and squatted down in pain, leaving a dark circle under his eyes.

Liu Guangtian said with a hint of pride, "Yi Zhonghai, now you see how powerful I am."
