Siheyuan: Pioneer in anti-corruption, fighting against evil!

"Now we don't know when Jia Dongfang can come back. When I get older, who will be responsible for my later years?"

The deaf-mute grandmother was particularly sensitive to the word "patriotism". She said with a frown, "Old man Yi Zhonghai, stop mentioning that kid."

Seeing Zhonghai’s lonely face, I felt sad that such a smart person would get into trouble when it comes to supporting the elderly.

"Uncle Silly has just been sentenced to seven years in prison. When Uncle Silly is released from prison, won't we have to take care of him?" suggested the deaf grandmother.

Yi Zhonghai felt somewhat uncomfortable about having a criminal as an elderly care assistant, but considering his mother-in-law's expectations, he nodded in agreement on the surface.

The deaf grandmother continued seriously, "When Shazhu is unable to work and still has a criminal record, he will have to rely on our assistance."

"Okay, mother-in-law, please take a rest!" Yi Zhonghai was a little annoyed. He nodded slightly and stood up to leave the place.

However, his inner calculations could not be concealed no matter what, and the deaf grandmother knew it clearly.

"I remember that Xiaochu's background is not very glorious. Would it be easier to get his marriage approved?" the deaf grandmother suddenly asked.

"This situation is not common in steel mills." Yi Zhonghai stopped and his eyes suddenly lit up, "Are you talking about something, Grandma?" In the dim room, the deaf grandma laughed evilly and raised her index finger to make a silent gesture: "There are some things that can be done, but they cannot be said openly."

At this moment, Yi Zhonghai was in hesitation - although Yi Nanfang was no longer able to take on the responsibility of caring for him in his old age, it seemed a bit too much to still consider using some means to resolve the matter, and it might not be a wise choice.

Leaving the deaf grandmother's residence, he walked towards the center of the yard with his hands behind his back.

The yard is full of spring.

After taking just two steps, Yi Zhonghai found Xu Damao running and playing with his two children in the yard. These two little boys had recently established a new relationship with him because of Xu Damao's active teaching - although they did not change their surnames, they called him "Dad" with a respectful name.

When he heard the joyful and loud voice, Damao was extremely excited, with a bright smile on his face. He held a child in his strong arms, like a spinning top, and enjoyed a happy game time with them.

Such a joyous scene, on the contrary, made Yi Zhonghai feel indescribably depressed and unable to calm down...

As they all suffer from fertility problems, why does Xu Damao already have a son now?

Walking in the alley of Li Ai's house, listening to the laughter of Nan Yi and Liang Ladi coming from her room, Yi Zhongshang gritted his teeth in dissatisfaction.

Without hesitation, he turned and walked towards the nearby steel plant.

Yi Zhonghai has faced the problem of infertility for a long time, which has caused his mentality to begin to distort.

In this day and age, if you want to get married, you not only have to fill out an application form, but you also have to get approval from your workplace leader.

As a member of the steel plant canteen, Nan Yi belongs to the staff team under the charge of Liu Maolin, deputy director of canteen affairs.

Liu Maolin himself comes from a family of chefs.

As one of the senior chefs, he actually does the big-hearth cooking in the canteen, rather than being one of those professionals with inherited family recipes who specialize in delicate small dishes.

Unlike the secret recipes possessed by Sha Zhu and Nan Yi, they are usually just cooks who are skilled in making big pot dishes in the cafeteria and it is difficult for them to appear on the stage of a formal banquet table.

With his rich qualifications and good birth, he was fortunate to be promoted to the position of deputy director.

However, due to his poor cooking skills and his habit of disciplining his subordinates, he has a bad reputation in the cafeteria.

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Maolin have been friends for many years. He stopped by the factory store and bought a box of Hongqian cigarettes.

Then he walked into Liu Maolin's office and immediately threw the cigarette into his arms.

"Hey, Master Liu, what are you doing?"

The fat on Liu Maolin's face trembled slightly. He quickly put the match back into the drawer, looked around, and only felt relieved after confirming that it was safe.

Then, Yi Zhonghai sat opposite and smiled: "Boss Liu, we are old friends. My apprentice gave me a cigarette last night. You know that my throat is uncomfortable recently and I can't enjoy the taste of cigarettes, so I wanted you to have a taste."

"oh oh."

Liu Maolin was nicknamed "Big Head Liu" by his coworkers because of his big head.

As the folk saying goes, a big head usually means a high IQ, and naturally one will not be easily deceived by others.

Although Yi Zhonghai was clever, he did not mention Nan Yi's marriage. Instead, he began to talk about the recent changes in the cafeteria. "Da Liu, since you took over the management, the atmosphere in our steel plant cafeteria has changed significantly, and the morale of the cooks has also improved a lot."

A compliment always makes people happy. Liu Maolin narrowed his eyes, lit a cigarette and crossed his legs at the corner of the table. "As leaders, we should have good work style and quality, always care about our workers, and try our best to prepare satisfactory food for them. This is not only a respect for our superiors' education, but also a responsibility."

"Da Liu, after you were promoted to a leader, your awareness has indeed become higher than before." Yi Zhonghai changed the tone of his words, "However, the attitudes of some comrades have declined."

"Some comrades..." This sentence obviously brought out some kind of complaining mood, "Are you going to warn me about something?"

Noon time.

After helping the Li family prepare lunch, Nan Yi went to their respective factories alone to get the issued letters of introduction.

Hurried to the factory office building.

But when he was about to get the application form for pre-marital health examination, he was stopped by the uncle in charge of registration.

"Oh, is that you, Mr. Nan? The factory recently believes that your behavior in the workplace does not meet the requirements and is not suitable for marriage." The uncle told him seriously.

Nan Yi couldn't help but touch his ears, thinking to himself: What does that mean? "Not up to standard"?

This is really puzzling! Normally, the factory would not interfere with workers' marriages, let alone give such a far-fetched excuse!

Seeing his confusion, the old man looked a little sad. "Mr. Nan, there is indeed a clause in this regulation that touches on the concerns that certain behaviors may cause."

Then, he took out a yellowed file and tapped a few places with his fingers. "This is our 'Pre-marriage Review Regulations'. Some special circumstances are marked here." "For example, frequently expressing opinions that damage the reputation of the factory, violating factory discipline, etc., and being temporarily detained."

Nan Yi looked confused, thinking: "How come they haven't even checked my reputation?" "Don't worry too much!"

The old official sighed, turned the page, and his eyes stopped at the small note at the end of the document: "It will not be accepted under other special considerations."

In this era, although there are various regulations on marriage declaration in the factory, they are not actually implemented properly. The old workshop workers also have difficulties with this matter.

After the document was closed, there was only one sentence: "If you are free, you can go to the cafeteria and talk to Deputy Director Liu about your ideological work."

Nan Yi understood that, to some extent, his work seemed to have been subtly adjusted. But he had no other choice. After all, the existing rules were there. If they were not enforced, they would just be empty words.

If we pursue this, it will involve extremely strict discipline. People under this "ceiling" must bow their heads. Nan Yi took a deep breath, clenched his heart and knocked on the door of Deputy Director Liu's office.

When Liu Maolin saw Nan Yi coming in, he showed special enthusiasm. He smiled and said, "Come on, Comrade Nan Yi, let's have a good chat."

"Yes." Nan Yi sat on the sofa opposite slowly, trying his best to control his anger. "Director, when I went to the factory office to apply for marriage registration, I learned that I did not meet the conditions for marriage."

"So that's how it is?" Liu Maolin leaned back slightly, resting his arms on the armrests, and looked at Nan Yi proudly, then said: "Oh! Master Nan? I heard that not long ago, there was a report saying that you had some ideological problems."

Having said this, he suddenly stood up straight, staring at Nan Yi, "As your superior, I intend to speak up for you. But you know my principles, I always insist on being fair. I will never allow personal emotions to affect work decisions."

Nan Yi immediately thought whether the news was leaked from Yi Zhonghai. A bad premonition emerged in his mind and he shuddered. However, at this moment, he didn't care who leaked the news and had to find a solution quickly.

Nan Yi said with a proud heart: "Director, please forgive me, my thoughts have gone astray. I firmly believe that under your correct guidance, I will turn over a new leaf and strive to move forward."

"This is the right approach." Liu Maolin nodded approvingly. "The key to being a person who is not afraid of making mistakes is to be able to recognize mistakes and quickly correct and change them. Only then can one be a valuable person."

The two sides seemed to have had a bright conversation and educational exchange, but in fact, there was a complex exchange of interests and strategies hidden.

After noticing that Liu Maolin agreed to his request, Nan Yi couldn't wait to ask: "Then what about my previous marriage application...?"

"Wait a moment, once those bad habits have been completely changed, I will personally help you solve your worries." Liu Maolin said with a slightly sarcastic smile, "These are just some small things I am happy to do."

His hobbies seem to be embarrassing, but he always seems to like playing tricks on others.

The group of once rebellious and restless young people in front of him lowered their proud heads in front of him, and the joy in their hearts was simply beyond words.

At this moment, Nan Yi also began to realize that the disagreement between him and Liu Maolin was actually just a superficial attitude problem.

However, this still left him helpless.

I could only stumble back to the cafeteria.

While Nan Yi was in a sluggish state for the entire morning, he picked up a kitchen knife in his hand just before getting off work.
