Siheyuan, my new life

He Daqing saw that the leaders had returned to the square table and immediately shouted, "Everyone, be quiet and listen to the instructions of the leaders of the street office and the police station."

Director Wang looked at Secretary Zhou, and Zhou Xiu shook her head slightly, indicating that she would preside over the next meeting. After all, many daily tasks of the street office were handed over to Director Wang. Zhou Xiu now only wanted her son to get married and start a family as soon as possible, and then have a child for her to play with. Then she would apply for retirement early.

Director Wang whispered a few words to Director Han and Instructor Qu, then stood up and said loudly: "Comrades of Courtyard No. 95, everyone has just heard the judgment of the Dongcheng District Court on Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi and Yan Bugui. I hope we all pay attention to it. In the past, there were such serious problems in Courtyard No. 95. There were mistakes in the work of our street office. The staff who were originally in charge of this area failed to do their job and trusted the three managers of Courtyard No. 95 too much. This caused such serious consequences. Our street office will deal with these people seriously. Here I would also like to remind all residents that this is a new society. We are all masters of the country. We must fully carry forward the spirit of ownership and actively report the situation to the street office and the police station when we find illegal and criminal acts. Of course, for comrades who actively report problems and have meritorious performance, our street office will also give certain rewards as appropriate. The rewards are not limited to material and cash, but also include priority arrangement of work and other aspects."

Hearing Director Wang's promise, most of the residents' eyes lit up. If they or their families could make great contributions, wouldn't they have a chance to get a job? You know, no one in No. 95 Courtyard has ever gotten a job from the Street Office in the past few years. This is why so many people in No. 95 Courtyard were so shocked when they learned that He Yuzhu had joined the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill canteen and was soon directly converted to a regular employee.

It was also because Yan Bugui was completely shameless and wanted He Daqing to help arrange a job for his son. Although he had Yi Zhonghai's guarantee before, the Red Star Steel Mill did not recruit workers publicly. Even if Yi Zhonghai wanted to help solve the job problem of Yan Bugui's eldest son, he was powerless. He was the boss who was arrogant and had the final say in the No. 95 courtyard, but he was just an ordinary senior fitter in the Red Star Steel Mill. What's more, Yan Bugui was reluctant to spend money to buy a job. He just wanted to get something for free from Yi Zhonghai. Even if someone transferred the job, Yi Zhonghai would not pay so much money for Yan Bugui.

Now with Director Wang's promise, everyone immediately became excited.

Director Wang talked about some things that needed to be paid attention to in the future, and was about to end the whole courtyard meeting. However, out of habit, she still spoke to the residents present: "Comrades residents of No. 95 Siheyuan, is there anything you don't understand? Everyone is welcome to speak up. If you have any questions, just raise them directly. Our street office and police station will do our best to help you solve them."

The scene fell into silence. Just as Director Wang was about to announce the end of the meeting, a resident suddenly stood up and said nervously, "Director Wang, I have a question for the leaders of the subdistrict office."

Director Wang smiled and said, "This comrade can speak freely. If you have any questions, feel free to ask."

The resident swallowed nervously, then spoke: "Director Wang, the Jia family in the middle courtyard of our courtyard has been bullying the courtyard for many years, relying on the favoritism of Yi Zhonghai. Although Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang have been severely punished by the law, why haven't Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu of the Jia family been punished at all? I don't know if Director Wang has heard that because of Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu's affair, the reputation of our No. 95 courtyard is now infamous. My daughter had already had a successful blind date, But the man is now asking for a breakup, the reason being that the reputation of No. 95 Siheyuan is too bad. When the people in their Siheyuan heard that the future daughter-in-law's family lived in No. 95 Siheyuan, they were all talking behind her back. She couldn't stand the gossip, so she had to break the engagement. Who did my daughter offend? Isn't it unfair for our family to suffer such an unprovoked disaster? Director Wang, I have no other intentions today. I hope the street office can change our house. We will definitely not continue to live in the same Siheyuan with the Jia family."

Before Director Wang could answer, another resident stood up and said, "Director Wang, my son has already found a girl through a matchmaker, but now the girl has asked the matchmaker to inform us that the reputation of No. 95 Siheyuan is too bad, and they will never agree to their daughter marrying into this Siheyuan. And I heard from the matchmaker that no matchmaker in our neighborhood will take business from No. 95 Siheyuan anymore. Director Wang, either you ask the street office to change the house for us or for the Jia family. Anyway, we will never continue to live in the same Siheyuan with the Jia family. We can't afford to lose face."

As soon as the resident finished speaking, several more people stood up. He Daqing quickly said, "Don't be anxious, everyone. Speak one by one. Who can hear clearly if everyone is vying to speak? Let's start with Master Ma first, and then you can speak one by one."

The other residents did not say anything in rebuttal and just sat down.

Master Ma looked at the leaders of the subdistrict office and the police station with a somewhat miserable expression: "Director Wang, my family relies on me to earn some hard-earned money from odd jobs to support the family. My son has reached working age. Everyone has just learned that Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui instigated some residents in the courtyard to expel Captain Fan, the security department of the machinery factory who had just moved into the front yard, for no reason. Through a vote of the whole courtyard meeting, an application was made, requesting the subdistrict office to expel Captain Fan from the No. 95 courtyard. Captain Fan went directly to the subdistrict office and reported the problems of the No. 95 courtyard and stated that he would never live in this courtyard again. He also reported the problems of the No. 95 courtyard to the leaders of the machinery factory, so the leaders of the machinery factory immediately called the Jiaodaokou subdistrict office and said that the machinery factory would never want a resident of the No. 95 courtyard in the future. Although I heard that the subdistrict office called the three managers and criticized them severely, since then, no job positions have been arranged for our No. 95 courtyard."
