Everyone present was speechless.
Silly Zhu and Xu Damao really drank too much.
One of them made the courtyard his home and said he wanted to sleep.
One man mistook Yi Zhonghai for Xu Damao and beat him up hard. After that, he found a stone for pressing pickles and said that he was worried that Xu Damao would catch a cold and wanted to give Xu Damao an extra quilt.
He was caught at the critical moment.
Because Silly Zhu rushed to Yi Zhonghai carrying stones.
I also blame Yi Zhonghai.
Silly Zhu won't hit you anymore, but you should get up quickly.
The hypocrite continued to lie on the ground, letting Silly Zhu mistake him for Xu Damao, and almost covered Yi Zhonghai's head with a stone as a quilt.
After stopping Si Zhu, after a lot of talking, Si Zhu returned to the house.
Liu Haizhong directed Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to carry Xu Damao back to the Xu family's backyard like a dead pig.
The neighbors who were watching the show and Yi Zhonghai, who had been beaten by Silly Zhu, were also about to go back to their homes, but unexpectedly saw Director Wang who came to the house overnight.
On the one hand there is the cover of night.
On the other hand, Liu Haizhong, an official fan, took advantage of the situation and stepped forward to greet him.
Director Wang didn't see Yi Zhonghai's tragic situation.
"It just so happens that you three managers are here, and the neighbors are also here. I read out a document from the district. According to the latest document issued by superiors, as of December 30, 1946, I had no major faults and no responsibility to the country, the collective, or the country. Individuals who have caused important losses to the residents are living under the Japanese puppets due to family reasons, and the organization will not investigate their past."
Worried about not being able to understand.
Director Wang also spoke in plain language.
"In our words, if you don't work in the factories opened by the Japanese and puppets, your whole family will starve to death. Whether it is direct slavery or indirect slavery, as long as you do nothing that is unworthy of the country or the collective, or cause heavy losses to others. , will not pursue this responsibility.”
The people in the courtyard instantly fell into ecstasy.
People in the courtyard, including He Daqing, Yi Zhonghai and others, all worked for the Japanese and puppets during the Japanese puppet period. If they are really punished according to the crime of traitor.
There were not many people left in the courtyard.
recently.
Everyone in the courtyard was careful about their livelihood, fearing that they would be labeled as traitors accidentally.
He Daqing's departure only aggravated these people's misconceptions about their future.
Some people speculated that He Daqing had to escape because of his identity. Others speculated that He Daqing had died on the way to escape.
Perhaps only He Daqing knows the truth.
Director Wang's few words removed the invisible mountain from the heads of the residents of the courtyard that made them breathless.
"Long live the old man!"
The shouts started.
Director Wang urgently stopped everyone from cheering.
There are still things to announce.
"One more thing, you three stewards just need to remember. At the request of the superior department, the district and sub-districts will carry out this three-anti campaign in the near future. Specifically, they are to increase production and save, oppose corruption, waste, and bureaucracy. We This is one of the things that is involved in the courtyard. It cannot be wasted. One of the three of you in charge must not be too bureaucratic. If there is nothing else to do, I will go to the courtyard next door."
After Director Wang left.
Yi Zhonghai, who pondered for a moment, opened his mouth and said to Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong: "Lao Yan, you are the steward of the front yard. You are responsible for the front yard, Lao Liu is responsible for the back yard, and I, Yi Zhonghai, am responsible for the middle yard. Each of us The responsibilities are in place, the three of us will meet for a small meeting tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
Yan Fugui readily agreed.
Liu Haizhong was unwilling to take the opportunity to hold a courtyard meeting.
After calculating the approval ratio, it seemed that he would lose the vote one to two, so he agreed to Yi Zhonghai's request against his will.
The three stewards went about their business.
…
The next day.
early morning.
Silly Zhu, who was feeling uncomfortable after drinking too much, woke up He Yuyu and watched He Yuyu leave the courtyard. He met the hypocrite who was going to work in the steel rolling mill.
Sharp-eyed Silly Zhu saw the scars on the hypocrite's face at a glance.
A thought came to mind.
There seems to be no one in the courtyard who dares to be as arrogant as Yi Zhonghai.
But this scar on Yi Zhonghai's face.
There must be a reason to explain.
"Master, did my mother beat you last night?"
Yi Zhonghai looked at Si Zhu who asked him about the source of the scars on his face with mixed emotions. He didn't know how to describe his mood.
"Zhuzi, you really can't remember what happened last night?"
Silly Zhu thought for a moment.
Really unimpressed.
"I just remember that I called the third uncle and the others to eat dumplings. On the way, I told him that Liubiju sells pickles. The third uncle was worried that the dumplings were not authentic, so he diverted to a small restaurant nearby. I really don't remember anything else."
A painful expression appeared on Silly Zhu's cheek.
He also subconsciously covered his forehead with his hand.
"Zhuzi, what's wrong with you?"
"It's uncomfortable, very nauseating."
Yan Fugui drank one or two ounces of white wine, and the rest was shared between Sha Zhu and Xu Damao. Each of them drank almost a pound of Erguotou.
It’s strange that it’s not uncomfortable.
What makes Yi Zhonghai feel bad is not that Si Zhu feels uncomfortable drinking.
He felt sorry for himself.
Silly Zhu drank too much and couldn't remember anything, including the violent beating of Yi Zhonghai.
The mute has to eat even if he doesn't want to eat.
Even if Yi Zhonghai is angry, he can't let it go to Silly Zhu.
Like a drunkard.
You lose your status.
What's more, Yi Zhonghai also plans to let Sha Zhu help him take care of his old age.
"Zhuzi, you have to drink less."
"Master, it's not that you drink less, it's that you have to stop drinking." Silly Zhu said with a bitter look on his face an old saying that countless drunk people have said many times but still break their promises, and then he and Yi Zhonghai walked in tandem. Walking, "Master, wait for me, let's go to work together."
"Zhuzi, although we don't get a commission as an apprentice, we can't be discouraged. It's only for one year. We can afford it. You and Rainwater don't have to worry about food and drink. With the master here, you two brothers and sisters won't be hungry."
What is Yi Zhonghai planning?
Silly pillars are clear.
It was just bullying that Silly Zhu didn't know about He Daqing's postal money.
late.
My aunt accidentally let it slip the night before yesterday.
Silly Zhu deliberately poked Yi Zhonghai's heart with his words.
A dull knife cuts flesh.
It hurts like hell.
"Master, when I can't wait any longer, I will definitely come to you. There's no need for it now. Don't the old man need postage money after the Chinese New Year? Let's spend the old man's money first."
Yi Zhonghai's footsteps felt like they were welded to the ground.
He paused on the spot.
Looked at Silly Zhu with a shocked face.
How did Shazhu know about He Daqing's postal money?
Yi Zhonghai had the idea of borrowing He Daqing's money to sell Shazhu. Even though Shazhu knew the truth, how could Yi Zhonghai claim that He Daqing's money was his own!
Could it be that Shazhu became suspicious?
Think about giving up.
He put his doubts on He Daqing.
"Zhuzi, Director Wang came yesterday. He told me that your father had hosted a private banquet for the Japanese and puppets, and there was a problem with his identity."
