Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

red star rolling mill

It’s almost time for lunch, and the workers are chatting about today’s news.

Suddenly, the steel mill's radio sounded, and a sweet voice came from it.

"All comrades workers, please take note! All comrades workers, please take note!"

"The following notice is being played: The factory leaders held a meeting and decided that Comrade Liu Haizhong accepted bribes from others during his work. He is now subject to the following punishment."

"Remove Liu Haizhong from his position as team leader. Record a major offense and fine him 500 yuan. Return the gifts he gave."

"Appoint Comrade Xu Damao to replace Comrade Liu Haizhong as team leader."

"Later, Comrade Liu Haizhong will conduct a profound self-examination at the entrance of the second workshop. Comrades who have time can come and watch."

"I hope fellow workers will take this as a warning and not learn from Comrade Liu Haizhong."

The factory broadcast three times in a row, and everyone heard it clearly.

Xu Damao got what he wanted. When he heard that he was appointed as the captain, he excitedly took Zhang Minghui's hand and insisted on going out to treat Zhang Minghui to a meal.

Zhang Minghui looked at Xu Damao's excited expression and did not accept the invitation. He did not want to get too close to Xu Damao. Zhang Minghui knew this guy's character too well.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Minghui began to speak.

"Brother Damao, we can celebrate any day. But Liu Haizhong will have to review his behavior later, and you don't want to go. If you miss this opportunity, you won't get such a good opportunity next time."

Xu Damao's eyes moved slightly when he heard this. That's right! You can eat at any time, but it's not easy to come across Liu Haizhong doing self-criticism.

Xu Damao was no longer in the mood to go out and celebrate, so they went to the second workshop together. When they arrived, the scene was already crowded with people and surrounded.

Those who knew Xu Damao immediately greeted him.

"Captain Xu, come here and look. It's clearer here."

Everyone heard the appointment on the radio just now. When they saw Xu Damao coming, the workers greeted him one after another.

Xu Damao was startled, a faint smile appeared on his face, his expression became solemn, he straightened his chest and raised his head, and followed the way of the factory leaders to greet his fellow workers.

Zhang Minghui saw Xu Damao's behavior from behind and couldn't help but smile knowingly. He moved aside and found someone to mingle with.

After waiting for a long time, Liu Haizhong still didn't show up, and then I started to hear friendly greetings from my fellow workers all around.

"Liu Haizhong, come out quickly, I'm waiting to hear your self-criticism!"

"That's right, Liu Haizhong, you bastard, you dared to mess with me before. Now that you've stepped down, I'm still waiting to give you a good lesson!"

The angry curses of the workers came from all directions. Liu Haizhong hid in the workshop, wanting to wait for the crowd to disperse before reading his self-criticism. Unexpectedly, everyone was relentless in their criticism.

The factory leaders outside also started shouting.

"Comrade Liu Haizhong, please come out immediately and make a self-criticism on stage. Give us all a sincere apology."

Liu Haizhong knew he couldn't hide anymore, so he walked out of the workshop with a red face. He slowly came to the middle of the venue, and the crowd spontaneously made room for him.

A pair of cold eyes stared at him intently, making cold sweat drip down his bangs and the hair on his back stand up.

Standing in the middle of the venue, Liu Haizhong coughed and began to read his self-criticism.

Liu Guangtian had helped him write this self-criticism. He had never written anything like this before in his life. It was so dry and full of loopholes.

I didn't recognize some of the words, so I just muddled through.

When Liu Haizhong was halfway through reading, a few pieces of mud suddenly flew out from the crowd and hit Liu Haizhong in the face. Liu Haizhong didn't pay attention and a lot of mud was eaten by him.

Liu Haizhong bent over and vomited continuously. After spitting out the mud, he straightened up and shouted angrily.

"Who is so wicked? Why did he lose it..."

Before he could finish his words, mud came from all directions and filled Liu Haizhong's mouth. Everyone followed suit, and many people who hated Liu Haizhong's sins grabbed mud from his feet and beat him.

Some people thought it was funny and also attacked Liu Haizhong.

In a minute or two, Liu Haizhong ran into the workshop in a mess, covered in mud.

The factory leader was shouting anxiously.

"Stop fighting, stop fighting. I will record the names of those who are fighting."

The crowd dispersed immediately, and everyone went to the cafeteria to eat happily, singing.

There is no need to mention the suffering Liu Haizhong suffered during the following period of time.

He had previously dealt a heavy hand to the workshop director and team leader of his own workshop. He tortured his workshop leader two or three times a day, and he never thought that he would have to leave the workshop one day.

This time, nothing good can happen if we fall into their hands.

Liu Haizhong was left to do all the dirty and tiring work. He was so tired that he had to sleep with his head resting on the pillow every day. In more than a month, he lost nearly 20 kilograms.

Liu Haizhong couldn't bear it any longer, so he went to Director Li for help. Seeing Liu Haizhong like this, Director Li offered to help him solve these problems. Life became better.

Only then did Liu Haizhong understand the meaning of "leave a way for others so that we can meet again in the future".

December 10th

Today is the day that Cheng Lide and Yang Huixian are sent down to the countryside.

During this period, Zhang Weihong's proposal was recognized by the young soldiers. They felt that reading self-criticisms every day was not very effective, so Zhang Weihong proposed that these people go to the countryside to do labor.

Not only did it receive support from the young players, but the higher-ups also thought this approach was very good.

Zhang Weihong took this opportunity to report the names of Cheng Lide and Yang Huixian and arranged for them to live with Boss Zheng's relatives.

Zhang Minghui took some time out to communicate personally with Boss Zheng's second uncle.

As soon as Zhang Minghui arrived at the place and made this suggestion, he did not expect that Zheng Duomo, the second uncle of Boss Zheng, would burst out laughing.

"Boy, among those sent down there, there must be your relatives and friends!"

Zhang Minghui did not hide anything and spoke frankly.

"Mr. Zheng, you know that the city of Sijiu is in chaos. I have to find a way to protect them. That's why I came to you. Please help me. Don't let them suffer too much."

Zheng Duomo had big bags under his eyes and spoke in a gentle tone.

"Okay, kid, we have been dealing with each other for a long time. Don't worry if they come to me! There is no teacher in our village yet, so let them teach the kids. It's a good thing."

"When the time comes, there will be more scholars who can carry forward the skills of our ancestors."

Zhang Minghui looked at Zheng Duomo with a helpless look and tried to comfort him.

"Old man, why are you so obsessed with forging things? Let the kids learn some other skills from these teachers. They are much better than your forging."
