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

"Director Wang, we will understand the spirit and study hard."

Seeing the reactions below, Director Wang felt somewhat comforted. It seems that the people in the compound can still be reformed, and they are all people with dignity.

But what I am going to say next is a bit unpleasant to hear, but I have to say it even though it is unpleasant.

Director Wang glanced around and spoke earnestly.

"We have been neighbors for many years. There are some things I didn't want to say, but your courtyard keeps making trouble again and again."

"You all know how bad your reputation is. The whole city has been a scandal of your institute for the past few months."

"Even if you don't consider yourselves, you should at least consider the children!"

"Given your poor reputation, we won't issue you a letter of introduction from the Street Office."

Hearing this, the young people below became anxious. Now the young people in the hospital are only He Yuzhu, Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi who have jobs.

The remaining young people were doing odd jobs, and they were exhausted every day. When they heard that the subdistrict office was not going to arrange jobs for them, they became anxious.

Shouting loudly.

"Director Wang, you have to help us. Help us get a letter of introduction so we can find a job."

"Director Wang, I have been waiting for the introduction from the Street Office for almost 2 years. When will it end?"

The adults around became anxious when they saw this and begged Director Wang for help.

Seeing the scene in front of him, Director Wang began to speak.

"It's not that I don't want to help you. You all know how scarce the current job allocations are. Priority is given to military retirees and the families of martyrs."

"There are few places to begin with, so there aren't many opportunities left for your department."

"You don't even know how to cherish the opportunity, and you have ruined the reputation of your hospital. What do you want the subdistrict office to do?"

"When the factory comes to the neighborhood office to investigate, as soon as I say it's from Yard 95, they'll refuse to take it, so please inform your yard of this situation."

"Young people from your courtyard should not come to the street office to look for us recently. It's useless. Wait until your courtyard's reputation is restored. Then we can talk!"

"Okay, that's all for this conference. If you have anything else, just ask Lao Zhang to handle it!"

"Disband."

After saying this, regardless of how ugly the faces of the people below were, he turned around and retreated with the people from the street office.

Director Wang and his colleagues left, but it was a heavy blow to many families in the hospital, especially those who had working-age children who could not find jobs.

Everyone is in tears.

Now his reputation has finally backfired.

Everyone returned home with sad faces, and every household lost the desire to communicate.

Seeing all this, Zhang Minghui showed an indifferent expression on his face and turned around and went back home.

This is what happens when you sow, you reap, and you deserve this kind of retribution.

.....

But life has to go on, and in the next few days everyone went out early and came back late. There were fewer quarrels and more peace.

Life returned to normal, and even Jia Zhang knew that her reputation had been ruined, so her life became even more difficult. She didn't dare to cause trouble in the courtyard, and even cursed less often.

The young people in the hospital have no choice. The street office won’t introduce them to jobs, so they can only do odd jobs here and there.

Zhang Minghui has been going out early and coming back late these days. Now the news of the merger of the communes has appeared in the newspapers. It is an inevitable trend and cannot be changed.

Taking advantage of the fact that the two regions had not yet been truly merged, Zhang Minghui went to Changping several more times and caught a large number of animals beside the creek.

After everything was prepared, he felt much more at ease. The space was filled with corpses of various animals, which were neatly stacked by Zhang Minghui.

The space is kept at a constant temperature, so you can take it out and use it at any time.

Without the burden, Zhang Minghui's mood was obviously improved and he started to go fishing in Shichahai.

The fishing rod that Zhang Minghui got from Yan Laokou has never been used. So many things have happened recently that he has no time to go fishing.

Now that everything is arranged, I have the leisure time.

It's July now and the weather is just right.

A large number of old men and women gather in Shichahai, where they hang out, chat, and fish to stay healthy.

Zhang Minghui found a secluded corner, used the earthworms he dug as bait, and started his fishing life.

The results were not very good, probably because my fishing skills were too poor. I only caught a few small fish the size of a palm, which were enough to make fish soup.

But even so, Zhang Minghui was very happy, especially the moment when the fish bit the hook, he was so excited that he wanted to shout out loud.

I feel the joy of fishing. No wonder so many people like fishing.

Fishing really requires patience, and fortunately, the thing Zhang Minghui has the most right now is time.

He went out early and came back late every day to fish, and everyone in the compound knew about it.

It’s just that his craftsmanship is not that good, and people in the compound laugh at him behind his back.

Soon, a week passed.

Today is also the day when Liu Haizhong and Yan Lao were released from the detention center.

The two of them didn't suffer much, but they were not like Jia Zhang who wanted to be the king in the detention center.

Seeing that the two were quite sensible, the leader did not embarrass them and simply taught them a lesson.

The two men had only been in detention for seven days and had not suffered any punishment, so their faces only looked a little haggard.

But the psychological blow they received was not small. Xu Fugui's move really made the two of them fall flat on their faces. The loss was not small.

After leaving the detention center, the warm sunlight shining on his face made Yan Laokou unable to help but mutter.

"It seems like a lifetime ago, it seems like a lifetime ago! I've been so embarrassed this time, I didn't expect to be put in a detention center. I don't know what the situation is like at home."

Liu Haizhong sighed aside.

"Old Yan, let's go! Stop sighing here. I just want to go home and have a good sleep. I haven't been sleeping well these past few nights."

After hearing what Lao Liu said, Yan Fugui didn't bother to sigh, and the two of them walked back together.

As soon as I returned to the entrance of the alley, I saw a group of women sitting there.

Originally, Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong wanted to pretend that they didn't see these people and dodge past them.

But there is only one aisle, where can you hide?

Seeing the two people coming back, the aunts and sisters immediately became excited, and the topic's popularity in the past few days has not died down yet!

Seeing the person coming back, the neighbors were extremely excited.

An old lady said enthusiastically.

"Oh, it's Old Yan and Old Liu who are back. What's going on in there? You two look haggard, you must have suffered a lot. Go home quickly!"

The people around were also greeting each other warmly.

No matter who Old Yan and Old Liu are, they have been their neighbors for so many years, so we have to give them some face.

No matter how people talk about others behind their backs, they are generally tolerable. No one can find fault with them.

The two left quickly.

There was constant discussion and heated debate behind the scenes.
