Break out of the courtyard

"Peace, I heard that the phone bill is very expensive!" Father Zhang Bing was sitting at the door of Pingba, looking at Sun and Sun playing at the door of No. 6 Courtyard. He didn't notice the gangsters escorting Zhou Laoer over.

"The monthly fixed charge is 12 yuan; when making calls, the fee is calculated every 3 minutes, 1 jiao for short distance and 1 yuan and 3 for long distance." Zhang Heping glanced at the group of gangsters, they didn't look like they were nearby.

Zhang Heping withdrew his gaze and said solemnly to Lao Zhang who looked troubled: "Shencheng is a bit far away and charges 3 yuan 1 every 2 minutes. After each call, you must remember to put the phone away, otherwise the fee will continue to be deducted. It’s possible to deduct more than yuan a day!”

"Yes!" Zhang Bing nodded solemnly, obviously remembering these words.

Tang Xin, the eldest wife who was packing things in the right concierge to make room for a landline phone, heard this and came to the window and said with a smile: "Dad, Heping has deposited 10,000 yuan in your phone account. You can make calls as you like."

"Why save so much money!" Ma Xiuzhen in the room was confused.

Just at this moment, two gangsters ran over, one of them handed a cigarette to Zhang Heping with both hands, "Principal Zhang, smoke!"

Zhang Heping accepted the cigarette in surprise without looking at the brand. When he saw another gangster lighting a match, he was very considerate and asked the other gangster to light the cigarette for him.

Zhang Heping chirped and asked casually: "When did you come back from Banna?"

Zhang Heping didn't know these two people, but he heard them calling him principal, so he probably saw him showing off his power in Banna; and since Zhou Laoer's matter was found in Courtyard No. 8, he had to take care of it.

Therefore, Zhang Heping, who usually does not smoke, not only smoked a cigarette but also started talking to the street kid in the eyes of Old Zhang with astonishment.

Zhang Heping spoke briefly to the two gangsters, then held a cigarette between his right index and middle fingers, pointed at Courtyard No. 8 and said: "Go to his house to resolve Zhou Laoer's matter, and don't cause trouble in my cousin's Courtyard No. 8. "

"This……"

One gangster hesitated for a moment, and the other gangster nodded in agreement and pulled his companion away.

"You're stupid! Principal Zhang obviously doesn't want to get involved in Zhou Lao Er's affairs. If we collect debts next to his house and his cousin comes to him, do you think he will care? Are we not enough to warm him up?"

The two gangsters murmured a few words in a low voice, and then hurried back to discuss it with their companions.

"Is he really that powerful? One person killed more than a hundred educated youths?" A street kid who had never been to the countryside looked at Zhang Heping with doubts on his face, who was watching the installation workers pull the wires with his hands behind his back.

"Really! The members of Wang Mazi's group at the front gate were already torn apart by Principal Zhang."

"I seem to have heard other educated youths talk about this. They said that after the principal beat someone, he shouted 'Who else' in the street, which made the dark clouds break through and the heavy rain stopped!"

"Fuck! Mr. Niu doesn't believe it today..."

"Don't!"

Several gangsters immediately grabbed a hot-blooded young man and quickly persuaded him.

"Look at the two concierges over there. They are built like bunkers. Are they something ordinary people can build?"

"And that worker, he was holding one wire, not two wires, it was probably a telephone wire..."

"What's wrong! Biaozi from Houhai has brought people over!"

"What the heck are you afraid of! It's natural to pay back debts. We are here to collect debts, not to fight with Biaozi and the others."

……

"Uncle Zhang! Brother Heping!"

The gangster whom the gangsters called Biaozi handed over a cigarette, but it turned out to be Lao Zhang.

Zhang Heping glanced at the group of gangsters who had just arrived. They had come here to watch TV before, and nodded.

"Brother Heping, I heard that you are making a fortune in the south, can you help us little brothers?" This tall and sturdy man, who was a little taller than Zhang Heping, was looking at Zhang Heping with a shy face and a smile. Just asking for help from others.

"The factory in Shencheng is short of people. If you are willing to go, I can ask Director Qi to give you a letter of introduction for you to go south to work." Zhang Heping said this not in a perfunctory way, but because Shencheng is really short of people.

Although Shenzhen has not been officially designated as a special economic zone, infrastructure construction has been started for more than half a year, and what is talked about to the outside world is urban construction.

"Brother Heping, I heard that there is a Zhongying Street in Shenzhen City where you can buy foreign electronic products. Is it true?"

"They are all OEM products from Shenzhen Electronics Factory. After being transferred through Hong Kong Island, a small amount of them flow into that street."

"Electronics factory!" Biaozi's mind immediately became active, "I have to discuss the matter of going south with my brothers. Brother Heping, you go ahead and do your work!"

Biaozi said, and he led his people to chase the group of street gangsters who had run away when they saw that the situation was not good.

After the telephone was installed in Courtyard No. 7, Zhang Heping first called Director Wang's office. As a result, there was noise on the microphone and the sound was very low.

So Zhang Heping called his eldest son Zhang Bei and rode out to buy some electronic components.

Then he asked Zhang Bei to dismantle the new landline phone at home and instructed him to modify the phone, so that the voice quality was slightly better.

However, calls are two-way, and just because your own device is good doesn’t mean the device on the other end of the phone is good.

No, when Zhang Heping called Nanla Town, the voice on the other side of the phone was still accompanied by noise.

However, since he spoke with a microphone, he didn’t have to shout loudly.

Thanking Wan Yishu and the others for the mountain goods they sent, Zhang Heping went to the kitchen to prepare the miscellaneous sauce for the noodles after hearing from He Zijiang that the sales of the pharmaceutical factory had dropped significantly.

Just as dinner started, my eldest cousin Ma Lili brought her two children over to eat.

When Ma Xiuzhen went to fuck her eldest niece, Zhang Heping asked casually, "Are they still unwilling to call the police?"

Ma Lili shook her head in silence. It wasn't until three bowls of fried noodles were brought into the room that she hesitated to look at Zhang Heping who stood up. However, Zhang Heping ignored her and instead asked Tang Xin, Chen Shuting and the children to set off fireworks outside.

After Zhou Xiaochun and Zhou Xiaopeng quickly finished eating the noodles and ran to set off fireworks outside No. 7 Courtyard, Ma Xiuzhen said:

"I heard from your uncle that those street gangsters and Zhou Laoer were originally going to your hospital this afternoon. It turned out that two gangsters knew Heping, and after Heping greeted them, those street gangsters didn't Go to your side."

Zhang Pandi asked, half curious and half dissatisfied: "Sister Lili, how much money did Zhou Lao Er lose? Yesterday, moving the refrigerator and washing machine didn't count, but he still dares to come and ask for money today!"

Seeing that Ma Lili was still silent, Zhang Pandi shook her head and said angrily: "What can't be said? You treat us as outsiders, don't you?"

"No!" Ma Lili shook her head hastily, "I don't know how much he lost, I just know that he ran out to gamble again last night."

"Were there again last night?" Zhang Pandi said in surprise: "Didn't his mother mean to persuade... No, he couldn't have gone out with the refrigerator and washing machine last night!"

Seeing Ma Lili nodding silently, Zhang Pandi put her hands on her hips and said bitterly: "No wonder I don't want to persuade this bad gambler. Even his family members can't persuade him, so who can?"

Ma Xiuzhen looked at the silent eldest daughter Zhang Zhaodi, frowned and asked, "Is Chang Sheng coming back tonight?"

Chang Sheng, the eldest son-in-law, has been working overtime to earn a salary recently, saying it is for promotion.

"Last month, Aunt Chen asked Chang Sheng to wear uniform and go over to persuade her." Zhang Zhaodi said lightly: "Chang Sheng later told me that to deal with such a person, all he had to do was call the police in his name and cancel several gambling debts. People won’t ask him to go.”

"Then why are you hesitating? Call the police!"

"Aunt Chen and the others are afraid that calling the police will cause Zhou Laoer to lose his job."
