Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

"Dad, am I your biological child?"

Shi Qian yelled, and the whole place fell silent as soon as he finished speaking.

Only Xiao Weiguo strode towards the central courtyard without taking it seriously, while Shi Qian also dusted himself off as if it was nothing new and ran forward in three leaps and bounds.

But Yi Zhonghai, whose mood had just calmed down, had the little flame in his heart ignited again.

When the neighbors who were just walking home heard this, they immediately became interested and said, "What a great backyard!"

"Good morning, everyone. What are you doing? Why are you all standing there without moving?"

Xiao Weiguo teased with a bewildered look on his face, while Shi Gan whizzed through the central courtyard like a flash of lightning and ran out, leaving everyone stunned!

Everyone said that the two of them had a great time playing together!

"Um... Weiguo, you may not know this, but Xu Damao is back!"

Aunt Li, the number one gossip in the courtyard, took the initiative to reveal the news. Xiao Weiguo was stunned at first and expressed surprise.

"Xu Damao? The one with the big donkey face? Tsk tsk, it's good to be back. Now the courtyard is lively again! Old Liu, let's hold a meeting later to welcome Xu Damao back!"

After saying that, Xiao Weiguo took his bag and left without looking back.

And Lao Liu, who had just arrived at the Intermediate Court, said he knew nothing about it yet they notified him to attend a meeting?

Do you want to have a meeting?

Why?

Old Liu scratched his head in confusion, and when he looked at other people, his curiosity was gone.

"Old Liu, Xu Damao is back!"

The kind-hearted Aunt Li continued to speak, and Liu Haizhong finally understood the reason for the incident.

Although they lived in the same courtyard, Liu Haizhong worked all night last night and was exhausted for half the night, so he had no idea what happened in the front yard.

"When did he come back? Did he sneak back on his own or..."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and said, "Xu Damao is so useless? He has suffered for many years, but in the end he comes back to be criticized? What a brain!"

After being scolded by Lao Yi, Liu Haizhong curled his lips silently, "Humph, if it were someone else, I would definitely have nothing to say, but everyone knows what kind of person Xu Damao is!"

Listening to Liu Haizhong's doubts, no one refuted.

I believe Xu Damao himself would not accept any rebuttal!

"Lao Liu, come home from get off work tonight and have a drink!"

Ok?

Liu Haizhong was full of confusion, but after so many years of fighting wits and courage in the factory, he had already guessed Lao Yi's intention.

"Okay, see you tonight!"

Then, Liu Haizhong walked out swaggeringly with a briefcase tucked under his chin, while Yi Zhonghai walked out stubbornly carrying a broom.

The same slightly hunched backs fully reflect the difference in social class between the two people.

It is said that Lao Yi has started sweeping the toilets since he came back. He has made no mistakes in his work for several consecutive years and can be said to be hardworking and never complains.

The street official also saw it and kept it in mind. After all, he is old now and can apply for a job transfer, such as sweeping the streets, which at least does not require as much tiring work as collecting manure.

At this time, the street official Liu was also discussing this matter with Director Wang. When Yi Zhonghai's name was mentioned, everyone in the entire street knew him.

Although he made mistakes, they served the people and helped the people.

You can't do something that kills people with one blow.

Director Wang fell into deep thought as he looked at the work on the list. The street sweepers were all full, leaving only the loaders and technical positions.

Before, Lao Yi worked in a steel rolling mill and had skills. Moreover, when he was released from prison, he guaranteed that he had extraordinary skills, not only reaching the level of an eighth-grade worker, but even above that.

This means he is a talented person!

The government now advocates the discovery of technical talents. Although the identity documents are strictly reviewed, Lao Yi has reformed himself, so perhaps he can be given a chance.

So Director Wang decided to talk to Yi Zhonghai in person.

Some things depend on her thoughts, and it is not entirely up to her to do it or not.

In this matter, it mainly depends on Yi Zhonghai's attitude!

There has been corruption in every era, and Director Wang has done this a lot over the years.

The reason why Yi Zhonghai was chosen was because they felt that he was a smart man who could understand things at a glance.

Under the scorching sun, the men on the street all wear undershirts, which are called cross-bar vests. Not walking shirtless on the street is already a contribution to society.

Director Wang went to one of the dry toilets on Dongsi Street in the hot sun and found Yi Zhonghai who was busy.

Because of the hot weather, the toilet was filled with a strong stench.

Looking at Yi Zhonghai who was working at this time, he was wearing a gown to avoid getting feces and urine on himself, a straw hat on his head, and carrying a load of manure on his shoulders. It was really sad.

"Cough cough..."

Hearing the cough, Yi Zhonghai was too lazy to turn back and continue working. There were so many people passing by, and he didn't expect Director Wang to come here.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't move, Director Wang stepped forward and called him, "Old Yi is busy!"

Hearing a woman's voice, Yi Zhonghai squinted and turned to take a look. Because the sunlight was very dazzling, he squinted and looked carefully before he recognized that the person was Director Wang.

"Director Wang, why are you here? Are you here... to use the restroom? Please come in!"

This action completely dumbfounded Director Wang. Who would actively invite others to go to the toilet?

"You misunderstood Lao Yi, I came to see you for something!"

It would have been better if Director Wang didn't say anything, but this statement made Lao Yi completely uneasy.

The key point is that since I came out, although it’s not to the point where everyone is hating me and I have to hide from them every time I see them, it’s not much better either.

Director Wang actually smiled at him today?

What is the intention?

Is it because I haven't done a good enough job that I should fire myself?

The more Lao Yi thought about it, the more panicked he became. He strode forward and told his troubles.

"Director Wang, did I make a mistake? Or is there something I didn't do well enough? If you point it out, I will definitely correct it!"

Director Wang was extremely regretful at this moment. The smell on Yi Zhonghai was so pungent that it was even a bit irritating to the eyes.

"Hey, Lao Yi, don't get excited! You did a good job. I just came here to confirm with you that your previous skills are still there..."

Yi Zhonghai was completely panicked, but also overjoyed. It was like a good thing falling from the sky and hitting him while he was just sitting at home!

"Although skills become more and more proficient with practice, the skills are ingrained in our bones, so how can we just throw them away?"

Director Wang smiled awkwardly, "Okay, since you are so confident in yourself, I will help you get a chance to change jobs!"

When he heard that he could change jobs, Yi Zhonghai was so happy that he smiled.

Hidden in the dark, wrinkled face is a row of big white teeth with a slightly thick grin.

Director Wang subconsciously took a step back. This guy was a bit creepy.

"But this...it's still a little difficult for you to transfer jobs. I've seen how hard you've worked over the past few years. I'll do my best to help you, but whether it will work out or not, that's up to fate."

Director Wang pushed up his glasses as he spoke, and Yi Zhonghai understood the professional smile on his face immediately.
