Break out of the courtyard

"Lou Xiao'e called us yesterday and wanted to come over to greet you this morning, but I refused." The eldest wife Tang Xin interjected from the side:

"My dad said that the Lou family has offended a lot of people because of the house. It's best to stay away from them to avoid affecting our domestic processing plants."

"Have you brought the Hong Kong newspaper back?" Zhang Heping still remembered what Director Wang told him, so he wanted to know more about the Lou family's matter to see if it was feasible.

"When I went through the security check, it was confiscated." Chen Shuting said angrily: "They confiscated several newspapers. The control is too lenient!"

Zhang Heping scooped up a large pot of sweet and sour cabbage and put it aside, and asked casually: "Did the Lou family say in the newspaper how many houses they nominally wanted to return?"

"Yes!" Chen Shuting immediately became interested, "Lou Xiao'e and her second brother want to take back 3 sets of small Western-style houses and 1 set of courtyard houses in Xijiaomin Lane, and 2 sets in Dongjiaomin Lane..."

After Chen Shuting talked for a while, she asked excitedly: "Husband, should we go to Xijiaomin Lane tomorrow to see if there are any other bungalows for sale there."

"The Lou family has asked for so much real estate and offended so many people. It will be difficult for them to get back to China. Therefore, they have not thought about returning to China for development." Zhang Heping wiped the big iron pot and analyzed with a frown:

"The last time I saw Lou Xiao'e and her son, they were traveling in economy class, but they were wearing woolen coats. They must have been short of money recently."

"Coupled with her being courteous to you and asking for Ah Xin's phone number, she probably wants to sell the house to us, or let us help her find a bold buyer."

clap clap!

There was a knock on the south window of the kitchen, and Director Wang said hurriedly: "Peace, something happened!"

Zhang Heping dropped the spatula and walked out to get an apron, "Aunt Wang, what happened?"

Director Wang pulled Zhang Heping aside and whispered, "The day before yesterday, a worker reported that some Chinese people took photos of the information related to color screen technology."

"After verification in the past two days, many workers have seen people taking photos, but they were holding either thick pens or crutches, so they didn't take it seriously at the time."

Zhang Heping did not expect that miniature cameras would be used to collect intelligence these days. He frowned and asked, "Have the funds of the Mei people been in place?"

Director Wang was stunned for a moment. Unexpectedly, Zhang Heping's first reaction at this time was to care about money.

"It seems that the people of Magnesia have only allocated the first batch of 2500 million magnesium yuan, and the rest have not yet been given!" Director Wang said uncertainly.

"Just this much?" Zhang Heping thought for a while and said, "Then just pretend that nothing happened and urge them to get the money as soon as possible. Otherwise, limit the participation of their experts."

Director Wang hesitated, "But the technology leaked..."

"The most critical technology is not written in the book. Even if they get a complete set of translation materials, they will not be able to produce a finished product in a short time. Instead, it will waste their scientific research resources." Zhang Heping said with a smile: "Unless, those who I replied to Is it possible that all the letters regarding technical issues were intercepted by them?”

"Impossible!" Director Wang exhaled and cursed with a smile: "You brat, if you didn't tell me earlier, you would have made me ride over here in a hurry."

"Aunt Wang, how do I know that you don't know that you are responsible for most of the letters asking technical questions, hehe!" Zhang Heping said with a bad smile: "If we want people from Japan and China to invest in us, we must Give them something sweet to make them willing to give money.”

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I will approve the note for you tomorrow. You can quickly set up a phone number at home to save me from making mistakes next time."

"Aunt Wang, I'll see you off!"

It’s the first day of the Lunar New Year and it’s not easy to have guests over for dinner. Everyone is waiting for a reunion!

After sending Director Wang away, Zhang Heping continued to cook. By the way, he talked about the people from the Magnesium country secretly photographing technical information related to color screens.

"Sister Xin, if you don't remember, at the airport the afternoon before yesterday, Xiaohu asked you why all the foreigners were wearing crutches when they were not lame when walking?"

"Hmm!" Tang Xin responded thoughtfully: "I was also surprised at the time. More than 50 people from China, young and old, were all holding a black crutch. Unexpectedly, there was a miniature camera in the crutch."

"Aunt Wang will give me a note tomorrow and ask me to set up a phone number at home. It will be convenient to contact Shencheng in the future."

"Really? I've wanted to set up a phone number for my second sister for a long time, but I asked the Post and Telecommunications Building twice, and they both asked for a letter of introduction and approval form."

……

After dinner, Zhang Heping and his family watched TV in the main room. The program was the first Spring Festival Gala held in Shanghai last night. The video must have been airlifted to the capital.

There was no shortage of melon seeds, candies and the like on the table, which was interesting to both adults and children, but the eldest sister Zhang Zhaodi and her family were missing.

This afternoon, Zhang Heping learned from Chen Shuting that the Chang family gave away the color TV set through the back door.

Zhang Heping did not comment on this.

He arranged for the two sisters to go to the Capital Station, also through the back door.

It's just that the Chang family didn't pay attention to the gifts sent by Zhang Heping's family!

Suddenly, there was a burst of crying from Courtyard No. 8 next door.

Not long after, her eldest cousin Ma Lili knocked on the door of Courtyard No. 7, saying that something happened in Courtyard No. 95, and she wanted to ask Zhang Heping to come over and help deal with it.

Just now, Zhang Heping sensed that the daughter-in-law of Zhou Chengwu, the eldest son of the Zhou family, was crying, claiming that someone with gambling debts broke into their house and moved away the refrigerator and washing machine.

As for the color TV, it seems that it was sold by Zhou Chengwu a long time ago.

As the nominal deputy director of the Nanluoguxiang Sub-district Office, Zhang Heping is also a relative of Ma Lili, so logically he should be in charge.

However, on the first day of the new year, he thought it was unlucky to see blood.

"Two ways!" Zhang Heping stood at the door of No. 7 Courtyard, looked at Zhou Jinyi and Chen Liqin, and said:

"The first is to call the police, saying that a robber robbed Zhou Laoer's refrigerator and washing machine. After the police catch him, they will reveal Zhou Laoer and his gambling. Let the police cancel the gambling debt, and let Zhou Laoer..."

"No!" Zhou Laoer's daughter-in-law said excitedly: "Those street gangsters will kill Cheng Wu!"

"Then choose the second option, accept the reality, and be willing to admit defeat!" Zhang Heping crossed his arms and said impatiently: "Otherwise, why did you ask me to come over?"

"Cousin!" My eldest cousin Ma Lili said from the side: "Can you help persuade Chengwu to stop gambling in the future?"

"His parents and his brother can't persuade him. Are you sure he can listen to what I say?" Zhang Heping frowned and said:

"If you don't dare to offend the street kid, then send Zhou Laoer to the police station and ask the police to help him quit gambling. Otherwise, he will lose his wife sooner or later, and in the end he will bring trouble to you, and even make you sell No. 8 The court will repay his debt."

When Zhou Laoer's wife heard that she was going to lose, she seemed to be frightened and did not object again.

When her eldest cousin Ma Lili heard that she might sell Courtyard No. 8 to pay off Zhou Chengwu's debt, she looked anxiously at Chen Liqin, her mother-in-law.

Finally, Chen Liqin and Zhou Jinyi looked at each other. Chen Liqin sighed and said helplessly:

"Peace, sorry to disturb you! Chengwu's father and I will try to persuade him again. If he still doesn't change, we will send him to the police station for education."

Perhaps for the sake of the dignity of the Zhou family, or perhaps not to affect Zhou Chengwu's work, Chen Liqin and his wife chose the softest and most useless method as time has proven to continue to persuade...

It's hard to persuade the damn ghost!

The next day, the second day of the Lunar New Year.

Zhang Heping rode his bicycle and took his eldest wife Tang Xin out to do the phone installation business.

Because self-employment has been gradually liberalized, the first batch of people who have made some money have begun to stand out. The initial installation fee of a phone is 3000 yuan. When Zhang Heping went to apply, he actually had to queue up!

Maybe we have to wait half a year?

There was no way. Zhang Heping didn't expect so many people to set up their phones, so he could only ride his bicycle and take his wife to the Youyi Store. He bought 6 Huazi and 6 bottles of Maotai, packed them in cartons, and took them to test the cadres of the Post and Telecommunications Building. .

After leaving the things behind, Zhang Heping drove his wife back.

If you collect his things and don't do anything for him, then let him have a stroke and lose his job.

However, people in this era are still quite simple. What they promised in the office was fulfilled in the afternoon.

Of course, the most critical reason is that it is very close to No. 7 Courtyard from the Houhai Subdistrict Office.

However, following the string puller, in addition to the dejected Zhou Chengwu, there was also a group of scoundrel street gangsters around him...
