Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

The last winding and feminine sound was so touching that it melted into the bones. After singing this divine tune, Xiao Weiguo slipped away.

But who else in the yard could still sleep? The loud roar that pierced the sky woke everyone up.

I heard every word clearly. I hid in my bed and didn't dare to make a sound, let alone look out the window, for fear of being spotted by Lao Jia.

Lao Yi heard it most clearly and wanted to rush out to compete, but in the end he was defeated by his own weak legs. He became limp as soon as he got off the kang. Especially the last word "Lao Yi" almost gave him a heart attack.

Jia family

Jia Zhang sat on the kang, staring straight ahead. At this moment, it seemed as if her soul had been taken away by Old Jia. Her face was pale and a gloomy aura emanated from her whole body.

Even Jia Dongxu, who was completely exhausted, managed to crawl from the head of the kang to the edge, looking dispirited, weak and helpless.

Not only did the people in the courtyard know about this, but my father in the afterlife also knew about it and came out to claim my life?

Jia Dongxu's mind was a mess, and the grievances that had been suppressed in his heart burst out in an instant, "Ah..."

The roaring sound once again resounded throughout the courtyard. Damn it. My heart, which had just calmed down, was frightened again. I will not be able to sleep tonight.

The next morning, everyone went out with dark circles under their eyes and in a trance, and Xiao Weiguo went to the street to find Director Wang before going to work.

"Chief Xiao? What wind brings a busy man like you here?"

When Director Wang saw Xiao Weiguo smiling happily, she quickly stood up and greeted him. She dared not neglect this God of Wealth.

A few years ago, she was worried about the welfare allocated by the higher-ups. She had no hope of living with only half a pound of meat per person. At the critical moment, Xiao Weiguo brought her 20 pounds of pork, which helped her to sit firmly on the throne of director.

"Auntie Wang, please stop joking with me. I just came to see you because I missed you. Eat an apple to moisten your throat first."

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo handed Director Wang a big red apple. Wow, this thing is more in demand than pork!

Who could resist such a small favor? Director Wang tried to refuse it, but the apple finally ended up in her drawer.

"If Weiguo needs any help from me, just tell me. Don't hesitate to ask me."

"I really have something to trouble you. It's what I told you last time..."

Director Wang looked at Xiao Weiguo in shock. Although he had heard some rumors about the Red Star Courtyard, he did not expect them to be so excessive.

A woman was forced to divorce. As the director of the street, she should protect the rights of women.

"As long as Qin Huairu gets divorced and brings the divorce certificate to me, I will help her register. It's not easy for a woman to raise a child. The Jia family is so inhumane. Fortunately, you two are kind enough to help her, otherwise she would have a hard time living like this."

"Auntie Wang, I want to thank you on behalf of Jingru. We will visit you at home when we have time."

Director Wang smiled and waved his hand, but he also understood what Xiao Weiguo meant. As long as the task was done, he would be rewarded handsomely.

"By the way, Aunt Wang, Jingru and I are having a banquet in the courtyard on the sixth day of the first lunar month. Would you like to come and have a drink if you have time?"

Director Wang smiled and pointed at Xiao Weiguo, "You, when I first introduced you to someone, you refused in every possible way. It turns out that you already have someone in your heart. Don't worry, I will definitely go to support you and see what kind of fairy has captured your soul."

Xiao Weiguo smiled shyly. After these two arrangements, Director Wang and he had become very close.

Small favors won’t go unappreciated, so Director Wang certainly won’t miss these.

At lunchtime in the cafeteria, Xiao Weiguo and Li Chunhua and others were chatting while queuing for food. It was no rumor that these women in the working class could hold up half the sky.

They are all very good at talking, and anyone who provokes them is equivalent to provoking the Women's Federation.

"Chief Xiao, I heard that Comrade Qin Huairu from your department is divorced?"

"Sister Li, you are more like my own sister, just call me Weiguo. It's hard for me to say anything about Qin Huairu's affairs. Our two families are somewhat related now, but...tsk tsk...it's hard to say."

Xiao Weiguo didn't say anything, but his words and actions spoke louder than a thousand words.

Wang Xiuli couldn't help but complain, "I heard from the people in the alley that Mrs. Jia beat Qin Huairu last night. It was a very tragic scene. Not only does a woman come out to support the family, but she is also beaten by her mother-in-law. Is this reasonable?"

"That's right. I heard that Jia Dongxu is completely disabled and that thing doesn't work anymore. Qin Huairu is a widow and raising a child at the same time. Life is simply impossible!"

"Tsk tsk! Qin Huairu is really miserable. Chief Xiao, does Qin Huairu have to return her job to the Jia family? How can a divorced single woman survive without a hukou and a job?"

"That's right. If it were me, I wouldn't give it back to them. Go ahead and sue whoever you want!"

A bunch of old women were all indignant on behalf of Qin Huairu, and Sha Zhu also heard a few words through the window.

However, without a household registration, he couldn't get into the kitchen even if he had great skills. Sha Zhu frowned and served his food absent-mindedly.

When he looked up, he met Xiao Weiguo. The two of them met in a narrow road and their eyes locked. It seemed as if countless lightning flashed between them.

"Liu Lan, come and collect the tickets!"

He is the boss in the kitchen and he is starting to show off.

Liu Lan glanced at Xiao Weiguo and gave him a fake smile, then took the meal ticket.

Sha Zhu's big spoon began to shake.

"Master He, you have a problem with your hand. You should get it treated as soon as possible. What's wrong with you? Why does it shake every time you swing the spoon? Have you forgotten what happened last time so quickly?"

He Yuzhu became even more annoyed when he mentioned the last time he was beaten up, but Li Chunhua and others behind him had already walked up to him and were staring at him.

It remains to be seen whether he can stop himself from going astray or remain stubborn and refuse to change his ways!

Seeing that he couldn't do anything to Xiao Weiguo, Sha Zhu sighed in anger.

After eating a full spoonful of vegetables and two white steamed buns, I felt so uncomfortable that I couldn't help but call Xiao Weiguo before leaving.

"Chief Xiao, isn't Qin Huairu your aunt? Why don't you arrange some work for her?"

Xiao Weiguo, with a righteous look on his face, turned around and began to criticize, "Comrade He Yuzhu, what is your ideological awareness? The steel mill belongs to the country and the people. No one has the right to abuse their power."

"Have you forgotten that you were demoted as a level 8 fitter? Aren't you leading me down the wrong path? You are so mean!"

Xiao Weiguo teased the pension group in a serious manner, while Sha Zhu stared with his eyes wide open and was so angry that he felt choked up.

"You...you are such a hypocrite!"

Before Xiao Weiguo could speak, Li Chunhua and others could no longer hold back. They had disliked He Yuzhu for a long time, and now they finally got the chance.

"Comrade He Yuzhu, keep your mouth shut. What do you mean by hypocritical? Section Chief Xiao has done his best for the steel mill. What right do you have to belittle him? Can you get a few truckloads of supplies or ten kilograms of pork?"

After hearing this, Sha Zhu was speechless and muttered, "I can make ten kilograms of pork fragrant, okay!"

"I'm not trying to bully others. He Yuzhu, you have a problem with your ideology. Why can't you see Section Chief Xiao doing well? Why do you have to exclude him when you live in the same compound?"

"That's right. How can you be the head of the kitchen team with such ideological awareness? Go get the study materials from Secretary Ren later. Don't let a rotten fish spoil the whole pot of soup."

Wang Xiuli and a few others took action one after another, and Sha Zhu was so angry that he couldn't get a word in.
