Break out of the courtyard

"Mom, is this the third child? Has he grown so tall?"

"Third son, this is your second aunt, this is your second uncle, this is your eldest mother-in-law, who is so shameless that he calls me uncle. These two are your aunt's brothers. You can call me second uncle and uncle, this is... "

"Stop!" Zhang Heping shouted, "Take them to get a haircut and take a shower first!"

After his grandma and cousin took away the 24 relatives who came suddenly, Zhang Heping entered the east wing, then frowned and picked up a few pairs of tactical boots on the ground... It was obvious that someone had tried them on!

"Dad, I will take these tactical boots and give them to my classmates first. This is the proof of Zhang Cuiya's condition. You will give them to the uncle and the others later."

"Mom, take those pairs of fur shoes to the street office. You can't miss any pair of the shoes you promised to donate to the street office, unless you want me to go hunting in the ice and snow."

"Cousin, pack up your fabrics and your clients' clothes and put them in a big bamboo cabinet. Don't allow them to look through them."

"What do these beddings and sweet potatoes on the ground mean? Is it such a big deal to call so many people to fight?"

Zhang Heping said, kicked the basket containing sweet potatoes, turned around angrily, and went to get the sack.

Not long after, Zhang Heping was carrying a backpack and a roll of sleeping bags, pushing his bicycle and two sacks of tactical boots on the back seat. He first went to Courtyard No. 7 to put his backpack and sleeping bags and get fishing tools.

Then he called Zhao Jianguo, who was bored at home, and took him to deliver two sacks of tactical boots to Liu Yuan, the acting league branch secretary. He gave her the list and asked her to call the classmates on the list and come to her house to collect the shoes.

Finally, Zhang Heping took Zhao Jianguo to Kunming Lake and returned home at 1 p.m. with half a sack of fish and two stacks of canteen meal tickets.

It's just that the courtyard is full of red-sleeved aunts, and the noisy middle courtyard, emmm... the aunts and the others have already started a war!

After Zhang Heping parked his bicycle at the sink, he took a look home and saw that only his fifth cousin Zhang Cuicui, his fourth cousin Li Cuihua, and two other little guys under ten years old were in the house, playing with the large bamboo toy ornaments he had made before. .

The bedding and sweet potatoes on the floor were gone, and the furs on the kang... were put away in the big bamboo cabinet.

Zhang Heping went out to add firewood to the wood stove and started to boil water. Then he glanced at the left and right rooms and saw that there were no bedding or sweet potatoes.

Then, he took the iron bucket and basin... Where did the kitchen knife go?

Zhang Heping glanced at the direction of the middle courtyard, shook his head and went to the Yan family across the street to borrow a kitchen knife, and then he provoked Yan Bugui to the sink, trying to take advantage again.

Yan Bugui looked at the four big fish lying on the sink table by Zhang Heping and said in surprise: "It would be a pity not to sell such big fish!"

Zhang Heping didn't want to talk to Yan Laojie about selling fish. As he started to pick up the fish scales, he changed the subject and asked, "What's going on in the Intermediate Court?"

Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment and asked strangely: "More than 20 relatives came to your family and lived in the main room, the wing room of the He family, and the west wing of the Yi family. Didn't you know?"

"I asked them to take a bath and get a haircut, and I thought I would let them squeeze in at my house at night, and then I went fishing. What happened after that?" Zhang Heping was indeed a little surprised by the actions of the aunt and the others.

Yan Bugui looked at the big fish head and the meat on the fish bones handed over by Zhang Heping, hurriedly caught it, and explained with a smile:

"After Lao Yi was released in the morning, he ran to your door with the secretary to the director of the steel rolling mill, trying to force your cousin to reconcile, but he didn't expect that a large group of people came out of your house and scared the secretary of the director away. hey-hey!"

"Then, your relatives used this excuse to bring bedding and sweet potatoes to Lao Yi's house to ask for an explanation."

"Not long after, He Yuyu came back and wanted to reconcile with your eldest cousin. Then, your relatives divided up some people and carried quilts and sweet potatoes to the He family's house."

After a while, Zhang Heping didn't hear what was going on, so he couldn't help but glance at Yan Bugui and found that he was staring at the large pile of fish intestines and the few fish strips with thin spines...

Speechless, this old guy is getting better and better!

It’s not like I didn’t teach him how to use an explosive hook before. As for staring at these things that even dogs won’t eat?

"Teacher Yan, I gave you the three fish bones. Please clean up the sink."

"Okay!" Yan Bugui was overjoyed and hurriedly agreed.

However, when he saw Zhang Heping leaving with a large basin of fish fillets in his left hand and three large fish heads in an iron bucket with his right hand, he couldn't help but feel sad.

Once upon a time, his family also ate fish fillets as a meal!

Unfortunately, the policy changed and the canteen would not accept his fish. He could only save his monthly food supply and slowly collect bait.

After Zhang Heping put the fish heads and fillets under the eaves and salted them, he sat down at the small coffee table under the window, holding his cheek with his right hand, closing his eyes and silently sensing the conversations around him.

"This is the first time I have encountered a 21-year-old girl sleeping with a 17-year-old boy, and the boy's mother asked the girl to take responsibility!"

"I heard that the girl's brother got the young man drunk and put him on the girl's bed in order to frame the young man for rape!"

"This is a crime punishable by death. Those two brothers and sisters are too vicious!"

"I heard that Yi Zhonghai was an accomplice and also made that young man drink!"

……

"I don't care! She slept with my son, so she must be responsible for my son!"

"Auntie, I don't want you to blackmail people like this!"

"What is blackmail? Her brother got my son drunk and threw him into her room. She slept with my son at night, ate him, wiped him clean, screamed and framed my son for rape. His brother also beat my son seriously! You Say, who blackmailed someone?"

"Comrade, please speak clearly! Why are we blackmailing people?"

"Yi Zhonghai and her brother got my second nephew drunk, threw him on her bed, and she framed him for rape. Who do you think blackmailed him?"

"You let Yi Zhonghai and this girl go. Let's not talk about it for now. You actually falsely accused us of blackmailing people! Who is your leader? Call your leader here for review and find out who is blackmailing people!"

"Zhang Heping!"

The round-faced Director Wang's voice suddenly sounded. Zhang Heping opened his eyes and looked over, and saw Director Wang and several police officers leading Silly Zhu into the front yard.

I just heard Director Wang say without warning: "Bring out your chairs and benches and use them, and we will hold a mediation meeting on the spot!"

"Okay!" Zhang Heping responded, first moving the chairs under his butt and beside him.

Not long after, everyone from the middle courtyard and the backyard came to the front yard.

Seeing Director Wang and a middle-aged male policeman sitting on the side of the Yan family, with other policemen, street clerks, and aunt Hongxiu standing behind them, all facing the Zhang family in the east wing, Zhang Heping couldn't help but pay attention to it, and moved a Sitting on the small bench to the right of Director Wang.

Zhang Heping was glanced at by Director Wang and immediately shouted to the confused Xie Ermei: "Grandma, you are the Red Sleeve Aunt. You must stand firm, be fair and just, and come to our side."

When grandma Xie Ermei was pulled by Zhang Pandi to stand at the door of Yan's house with a confused look on her face, Director Wang said:

"Please send a person in charge of the Zhang family to come out to communicate and see if you can mediate the matter between you and He Yuzhu!"

After finishing speaking, a group of people from the Zhang family looked at me and I looked at you. After a final discussion, the group of people all pointed at Zhang Heping opposite.

"No! No! I am a street activist..."

"Sit across from me!" Director Wang interrupted Zhang Heping, killing his desire to be a referee.

Helpless, Zhang Heping moved a small bamboo stool and sat on the Zhang family's side.

Afterwards, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuyu sat on the armchairs on the side of the second door.

Silly Zhu, who was wearing a silver bracelet, was brought to this side of the gate by two policemen. Stand still!

Director Wang glanced at the people watching around him and said loudly: "Both parties involved know what happened. Let's make a long story short and see if we can reconcile what happened in your courtyard."

"If not, then follow the normal procedures and do business in a business-like manner."

"Zhang Heping, as the representative of the victim Zhang Cuiya, would you like to share your appeal?"

Zhang Heping glanced behind him and shouted to Zhang Bing: "Dad, prove Zhang Cuiya's condition to me."
