Silly Zhu beat Xu Damao because of the intervention of the deaf old lady, and finally exhausted the deaf old lady's last favor, and finally changed the outcome of Silly Zhu's treatment, from criminal to administrative detention.

After leaving the police station, Yang Maode sent the driver to the courtyard to tell the deaf old lady the results of the mediation.

It was also to tell the other party from the side that he had completed what the deaf old lady asked for, and the two of them did not owe each other, and they would not need to come to him again in the future.

After learning the mediation results from the driver, the deaf old lady didn't know whether to be happy or sad. She was happy that Sha Zhu was finally fine, and Director Yang would also hand over the kitchen and stove to Sha Zhu.

Sadly, without the favor of these big shots, she would not be able to ask for help if she had any difficulties in the future. However, thinking that Silly Zhu would be filial to her, the deaf old lady felt that it was all worth it.

"Zhong Hai, please go to the hospital." The deaf old lady walked to the middle courtyard on crutches and said to Yi Zhonghai.

"Go to the hospital?" Yi Zhonghai was confused.

"I've reached an agreement with Xu Fugui. You give 360 ​​yuan to Xu Fugui and ask him for a letter of understanding to hand over to the police station." The deaf old lady finished in one breath.

"This..." Yi Zhonghai was a little reluctant to part with 360 yuan.

The deaf old lady glanced at Yi Zhonghai and knew that he was reluctant to spend money, so she immediately said: "When Silly Zhu comes back, I will ask him to pay it back to you."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at the aunt and asked her to get the money. After that, he borrowed a bicycle from the hospital next door and went to the hospital.

In the hospital, Xu Damao and his family were all there.

Xu Fugui told his family about the mediation, and everyone had no objections to it. It had been discussed in advance, but the result was just there.

Xu Damao's sister jumped for joy, she will also have a job.

Lou Xiao'e looked at Xu Xiaoxin jumping up and down with some envy. She also wanted to go out to work, but with his status, the street office did not issue a certificate, so she had no way to work.

The family was discussing when Xu Damao would be discharged from the hospital and saw Yi Zhonghai coming in from the door.

Yi Zhonghai saw Xu Fugui and others were there, and hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "How is Damao?

During this time, I heard that the sub-district office was going to launch a large-scale steel-making activity, requiring every household to provide a certain amount of ironware.

Most families in our compound couldn't get enough, so I asked someone to buy some and handed over tasks for the whole hospital. I was a little busy and lost my mind, and I forgot to come to see Damao. "

When Xu Fugui heard Yi Zhonghai showing off his merits, he really wanted to beat him up.

It's just that Yi Zhonghai's behavior was promoted by his superiors, so he could only endure his nausea, listen to his show off, and even praise him a few times.

"Lao Yi, the official business is business, Damao shouldn't worry about it. By the way, Lao Yi, what else do you want to do when you come?" Xu Fugui asked, wanting to send Yi Zhonghai away as soon as possible.

"Old Xu, the deaf old lady asked me to give you this 360 yuan." Yi Zhonghai reluctantly handed the 360 ​​yuan to Xu Fugui.

Xu Fugui looked at Yi Zhonghai's expression and said, "If you are reluctant to part with it, you should take it back!"

Yi Zhonghai quickly retracted his expression of reluctance and refused again and again.

He knew that if Silly Zhu continued to be imprisoned because of the 360 ​​yuan, the deaf old lady alone would not be able to spare him, let alone others.

Yi Zhonghai said sarcastically: "Where's the letter of understanding!"

Xu Fugui threw the letter of understanding written in advance to Yi Zhonghai. His hatred for Yi Zhonghai was greater than that of Silly Zhu.

Through this period of understanding, Xu Damao was beaten because of his grandson's instigation.

Yi Zhonghai also knew that he was not popular with Xu Fugui. In the courtyard, Xu Fugui and He Daqing were both better than him.

It was the deaf old lady and herself who used various means to drive away He Daqing. In the end, Xu Fugui also left the courtyard because of Xu Damao.

This gave Yi Zhonghai and others the opportunity to be the stewards, otherwise it would not be their turn.

Yi Zhonghai left Xu Damao's ward with the letter of understanding, went directly to Jiaodaokou Police Station, and handed it over to Director Liao.

After reading the letter of understanding, Director Liao informed Yi Zhonghai that Shazhu would be released from prison in four days.

Silly Zhu, I have completely remembered the feeling of confinement these past few days, suffering from hunger and cold.

That is to say, starting from yesterday afternoon, Silly Zhu's treatment was slightly better, and he felt that he was alone again. In the first two days, he had the worst food and the coldest living conditions. He felt like he was worse than a dog.

"Master, please come and see me. When I get out, I will definitely go back with revenge." Sha Zhu said somewhat unwillingly when he saw Yi Zhonghai.

"Zhuzi, please stay in there peacefully. I have obtained Xu Fugui's letter of understanding. Director Liao said that you can be released after four days of detention." Yi Zhonghai cut off the head and tail, preparing to rescue Sha Zhu. The credit goes to yourself.

"Thank you, sir." Silly Zhu said excitedly, he finally saw the light of day.

"You kid, we are all one family, so we know what we are doing." Yi Zhonghai said in a pretentious manner.

"I admit defeat this time. When I go back, I will deal with Xu Damao ruthlessly."

"You! You're the one who suffers from this mouth."

Yi Zhonghai comforted Shazhu a few more words, and saw the police soldiers from the police station beginning to urge him, knowing that the visit time had come. He comforted Silhu a few words, and left the police station with the other party's immense gratitude.

Four days later, Silly Zhu returned to the courtyard in a low-key manner and went directly to the deaf old lady's room in the backyard. No one knew what the two talked about.

But for the next period of time, he almost never left the door or took a step forward, just like a big girl.

Zhang Zhifei stayed at home almost all day during this period, either tutoring his younger siblings or reading books and studying by himself. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the steel rolling mill to start working again.

After the New Year, due to the "forward" line, all walks of life have become impetuous. The streets, alleys, and villages are full of propaganda slogans about all this. The slogans should be as attractive as possible.

"What kind of fat pig is competing with an elephant?"

"How bold a person is, how productive he is"

Communes were established, private land was recovered, and everyone worked and ate together.

At first, the members ate freely and with open stomachs. The food was consumed quickly, and soon there was no food.

Especially last year, many people in collective labor did not actively cultivate their own land, so the harvest cost was limited. Coupled with natural disasters, the harvest in 1958 was very bad.

Rural areas have been experiencing food shortages since the end of last year, and other cities have also begun to suffer from food shortages.

At first, it did not affect Yanjing, but with the arrival of 1959, this trend also flew to Yanjing.

In 1959, the problem became more serious. The sub-district office had clearly informed that from now on, only 70% of the rations would be distributed, calling on everyone to be diligent and thrifty to get through the difficult times together.

Other families in the courtyard are doing better, even if they are worse, they still have 70% of the rations, but the Jia family is really in trouble.

In a family of five, only one person, Jia Dongxu, has an urban registered permanent residence and has a food ration, while the others all have rural registered permanent residence.

In the past, you could exchange rice for noodles at the Pigeon Market, but now the Pigeon Market has been closed, and only the black market still sells some grain.

It's just that the price of food on the black market has skyrocketed, and Jia Dongxu's salary is really not enough to feed the whole family.

If Yi Zhonghai was still here, he might still find a way to help them. However, Yi Zhonghai bought a large amount of scrap metal in the first few days of the new year and sent it to the street office, and then went to Jinmen on the tenth day of the lunar month.

The aunt only occasionally supported some stick noodles, which was just a drop in the bucket. Jia Dongxu was simply worried.

His family's meal was changed from three meals to two, and the original thick meal was changed to gruel. Jia Zhang's swearing words became less frequent, and her obese body became thinner at a speed visible to the naked eye.

As we enter March and April, the situation becomes even more severe.

Jia Dongxu's family is also in more difficulty.

One night in April.

"Mom, I'm hungry." Banggian said with a sad face after finishing the porridge in the bowl in several mouthfuls.

Qin Huairu hugged Banggeng distressedly and gave the rice in her bowl to Banggang. Her heart was broken listening to Banggang's cry.

Mrs. Jia Zhang had also finished eating. She was so hungry that all she looked at was food. She stretched out her hand and snatched Banggan's ration.

"Grandma is bad!" Banggeng cried anxiously.

Only then did Mrs. Jia Zhang come to her senses and returned the bowl to Banggian dejectedly.

He licked the dishes he barely had to wash with his tongue, and said somewhat uncomfortably: "Dongxu, it's not the way to go on like this. Even Wawa-sama can't bear it."

Jia Dongxu was also tortured to such an extent during this period that he became so thin that he lost his figure. He said with a sad face: "What can I do?"

Jia Zhang said: "Go to the aunt, don't they want you to provide for them in old age?"

Jia Dongxu said: "Mom, Grandpa's food ration has followed us to Jinmen. Now I only have Grandma's ration, which is a drop in the bucket. She has helped us many times."

Qin Huairu looked at the hungry and thin Banggan and Xiaodang, her eyes gradually becoming firm.
