The prosperous era of courtyard houses

Chapter 185, give up

Daxing Hutong is a large courtyard with three entrances.

The house in the front yard is Hou Sheng's house.

The monkey put on his clothes and was about to go out, ready to take turns to be watched by Da Zhuang, when he was blocked by his father.

"What's going on with you lately? Are you always asking for leave? You don't go to work at work and you run out when it's dark. What on earth are you busy with?" Hou asked angrily.

Since taking over Li Weiguo's mission, Hou Hou and Da Zhuang have been taking turns to keep tabs on him 24 hours a day. They have been taking leave for a month and have been away from home all day long. Father Hou, who doesn't know the situation, can't bear it anymore.

Faced with his father's questioning, Monkey's head really hurt. Now that he has been taking leave for a long time without going to work and staying away from home all day long, in the eyes of everyone, it means he is not doing his job properly and is blindly unemployed. There is no way to argue with it.

I want to explain, but I don’t know how to say it.

Naturally, he couldn't tell his father about stalking. If he accidentally let it slip, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

The monkey struggled for a while, and had no choice but to explain: "Dad, I really have serious business, and I am definitely not going out to fool around. Don't worry, I have an income."

With that said, Monkey took out a wad of money bills from his pocket and spread it directly in front of Father Hou, letting him see for himself.

Father Hou glanced at him doubtfully, took the money coupons, and counted them briefly. He found that there were more than fifty yuan in cash and sixty kilograms of coarse grain coupons, which was not a small amount.

Dad Hou was a little panicked now and felt that the money in his hand was extremely hot.

"Xiao Sheng, our family has been honest farmers for three generations. Don't do anything illegal."

It’s no wonder that Mr. Hou is flustered. He can still earn income without going to work, and the amount is not small. Apart from illegal things, what other serious things can he do?

It's either speculation or cheating and stealing. These are the most common types of businesses without capital.

Thinking of this, Mr. Hou couldn't help but sigh: "Well, I know that the work at the scrap collection station has delayed you and affected your ability to find a partner. It's really not good. How about I apply for retirement in advance and you can pick up my shift at the machine repair shop.

Leave the job of the scrap collection station to your brother. Let's not do those illegal things, okay? "

As he said this, Father Hou's eyes turned red. He had been a law-abiding mechanic all his life, how could he just watch his son go astray.

"Dad, it's really not what you think. Don't worry, I have never done anything illegal or disciplinary."

Monkey couldn't laugh or cry at this time. He didn't know how to explain his father's behavior at all.

"Then tell me, what kind of serious job can earn fifty or sixty yuan a month, and also get more than sixty kilograms of food stamps?

There are so many mechanical mechanics in our workshop, but few of them have such an income after working for more than ten or twenty years. How can you earn such a high income? "Daddy Hou asked excitedly.

Looking at his worried father, Monkey knew that if he didn't give an explanation today, he wouldn't be able to get out of this door.

After struggling for a moment, Monkey could only sigh helplessly, and then briefly explained that he and Da Zhuang helped to keep track of him.

Of course, he didn't say anything about the Japanese, he just said that he would help a leader keep an eye on a criminal and wait for the criminal to reveal his flaws.

After listening to Monkey's explanation, Mr. Hou asked doubtfully: "What kind of merit can make someone arrange a decent formal job for you two? It's so difficult to arrange work now. Isn't this a lie to you two?"

"No, don't worry, dad, my comrade introduced him, and his work has been arranged." Monkey comforted him, whether he was lying or not, he wasn't worried at all.

He and Da Zhuang retired from the army in the same batch as Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun, and they were assigned jobs together after returning to the imperial capital.

At that time, Zheng Shan entered the food factory, and Yang Xiaojun, like Da Zhuang, was assigned to the sanitation station. He knew very well what kind of relationship Zheng Shan and Yang Xiaojun had at that time.

Due to his father's serious illness, Zheng Shan even sold his job in the food factory and was so poor that he almost became a pantyhose.

Yang Xiaojun is similar. When he joined the company, his salary was only 14 yuan. His wife was in poor health. Apart from food and drink, she spent all the money she had to buy medicine. She had no savings at all, so she had to seek help from him from time to time.

Later, the two of them followed the leader and helped with things for a few days. They were favored by the leader and were immediately assigned to the security department of the steel rolling mill.

Some time ago, the old squad leader Zheng Shan was promoted to the head of the picket unit, taking over the leadership position. Even Yang Xiaojun's security guard level was upgraded to security guard level 11, with a monthly salary of yuan, and the work was decent and easy. , how could this be false? He is not blind.

After the monkey explained again and again, he temporarily appeased his father.

After leaving the house, he walked towards the place where he was watching. Along the way, the monkey was absent-minded.

I have been watching for more than a month now, and there is absolutely no movement or abnormality in the Japanese house.

He and Da Zhuang have been watching for so long and have yet to make any achievements. Can the work arrangements promised by the leader still be fulfilled?

The monkey doesn't know. He is completely unsure and worried about gains and losses.

Unconsciously, the monkey walked to the place where Da Zhuang changed guard and kept watch.

"Brother Monkey, what's wrong with you today? You're so distracted. Is there something wrong?" Da Zhuang couldn't help asking when he saw that he was absent-minded after he arrived.

"It's okay, I just didn't get a good rest yesterday." Monkey laughed dryly and said perfunctorily, completely out of shape.

"Oh, how about I continue to watch you in the afternoon and you go back to catch up on your sleep first?" Da Zhuang asked with concern.

"No, you should go back and eat quickly. You have been squatting all morning and you should be hungry." The monkey shook his head and refused Da Zhuang's kindness.

"Oh, okay, I'll go first."

"Well, come back."

Just when Da Zhuang handed over the tracking work to Monkey and was about to go home, Li Weiguo rode over.

"Leader, why are you here?" As soon as the car approached, Monkey and Da Zhuang came over to say hello.

"I have nothing to do today, so I came over to see how it goes. Has there been any movement in the past week?" Li Weiguo stopped the car and asked casually.

"Well, so far, there's been no movement." Monkey said awkwardly, while Da Zhuang scratched his head in embarrassment.

I don't know whether the Japanese are too cunning or have a unique way of contacting them. After watching for so long, no one came to look for An Yiyan. As a result, Monkey and Da Zhuang's work was fruitless, leaving them now. My mentality is a bit broken.

Li Weiguo thought for a moment and felt that there was no point in keeping an eye on him anymore. An Yiyan's accomplices hadn't shown up for a month, so he probably didn't need to count on them anymore.

"Forget it, Monkey, Da Zhuang, I won't keep an eye on this place anymore. I guess An Yiyan's disappearance has alerted his associates, otherwise there can't be no movement at all. It seems that these devils have a unique way of contacting each other. We can't get any credit for this." Li Weiguo shook his head.

"Leader, this."

The two monkeys looked troubled and felt quite unwilling to do so. They had been staring for so long with no results and no one could feel relieved.

Just when the two of them were extremely frustrated, Li Weiguo took out two pieces of paper from his pocket and handed one to each of them: "Here, take this, one for each of them."

The two monkeys took the paper and asked doubtfully: "This is it?"

Opening the paper in his hand, what came into view was an employment form for a security guard in a steel rolling mill.
