Siheyuan, my new life

After hearing Director Wang's announcement of the end of the meeting, residents began to leave the courtyard one after another. After all, it was the coldest time of the year and everyone had spent quite a while outside tonight. Just now, everyone's attention was focused on Secretary Zhou's novel voting method of the Street Office and they were more concerned about the final result. Therefore, even though they felt a little cold, everyone gritted their teeth and persisted. Now that they had obtained a satisfactory result and had an unexpected surprise, as soon as they relaxed, they suddenly felt that they were almost frozen all over, and many of them hurriedly ran home.

Master Ma, a resident of the backyard, came up to Zhou Xiu with a thin-looking young man who was less than 20 years old, and thanked him repeatedly with an excited look on his face.

While Zhou Xiu was smiling and dealing with Master Ma, who was already excited and incoherent, he looked at He Daqing who was standing next to him.

He Daqing understood what he meant, and quickly stepped forward to pull Master Ma and said, "Old Ma, let's go to my house and sit for a while. I'll tell Xiaoyong what he needs to pay attention to when he arrives at the company."

After He Daqing took Master Ma and his father away, Zhou Xiu smiled and said to Director Han and Instructor Qu, "Let Sun Yong drive you home later."

Just when Director Han read out the results on the note, Sun Yong had already returned, but in order not to disturb the meeting, he stood by the lotus gate leading to the middle courtyard in the front yard and waited silently.

Director Han and Instructor Qu both smiled and waved their hands to refuse, saying that they had to go back to the police station.

Zhou Xiu left Sun Yong to wait for Director Wang to finish talking with Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu, and sent her and the four clerks from the street office home. Then, together with Director Han and Instructor Qu, she walked out of the gate of the courtyard house No. 95, signaled Fang Dahu and Li Botao to go home and rest early, and then said goodbye to Director Han and the others, and walked towards No. 98 diagonally opposite.

Zhou Xiu walked into the house and saw Lin Yu sitting alone at the octagonal table in the living room reading a book, so she pushed the door open and walked in.

Lin Yu stood up, poured tea for his mother, and asked with a smile: "How was it? Did the whole hospital meeting tonight go well?"

Zhou Xiu took the teacup, took a sip of hot tea, leaned back in his chair and said with a wry smile: "There are so many messed up things about this No. 95 courtyard. Originally, I just wanted to announce the verdict on Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhangshi, and also take the opportunity to give those restless guys in the courtyard a warning, so as to have the effect of killing the chicken to scare the monkey. Who could have thought that the whole courtyard was indignant, and many residents proposed on the spot that because Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were having an affair, the reputation of No. 95 courtyard is now infamous, which has affected the marriages of those young people of marriageable age in the courtyard. Some people on the spot wanted to cancel the marriage because their daughter's partner's family disliked the bad reputation of No. 95 courtyard, and the partner's family couldn't stand the pointing and talking around them, so they asked for a divorce; someone's son just had a blind date, and the two were relatively satisfied with each other, but the woman suddenly asked the matchmaker to notify her that because of the reputation of the courtyard, the woman did not agree to continue the relationship."

At this point Zhou Xiu sighed softly, "There is a master named Ma who lives in the backyard. His family relies on him to do odd jobs outside to earn some money. His son has just graduated and has no job, so he can only go to the grain station with him to carry heavy bags. But now the grain station doesn't even arrange work for the father and son because they dislike the bad reputation of No. 95 Siheyuan. Now the family has difficulty even eating. At that time, He Daqing asked him why he didn't ask him for help when the family was in such a difficult situation? He is the director of the canteen, how can he find a temporary job for his child? This master Ma However, they did not want He Daqing to offend other residents for their family. There were too many unemployed young people in the No. 95 courtyard. Once He Daqing helped their family, other people would definitely ask He Daqing for help. But with so many people, how could He Daqing help them? That would definitely offend other residents. This Master Ma explained the reason why the No. 95 courtyard had not received a job quota arranged by the street office for several years. To be honest, after listening to it, I wanted to punish Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui. "

When Zhou Xiu told the story of how Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui instigated the residents of the courtyard to drive away the combat hero who had just retired from the army, Lin Yu sneered and said, "Yi Zhonghai and the other two are the cancer of the No. 95 courtyard, but those residents are not completely innocent. There is a cause and an effect. When an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent. If they had not blindly endured and tolerated the reckless behavior of Yi Zhonghai and others, how could these things happen now?"

Zhou Xiu also shook her head helplessly. "By the way, in order to prevent He Daqing from being embarrassed in the No. 95 courtyard in the future, I will ask He Daqing to bring that Master Ma's child to work in the cafeteria of your training base tomorrow. You can arrange it tomorrow. Master Ma's life is really difficult now, especially since he can take the initiative to consider He Daqing. I think we still have to help him."

Lin Yu nodded indifferently: "Actually, if it's just a temporary canteen worker, He Daqing can handle it himself, but you are still thoughtful. I will let Su Wenshu handle it tomorrow morning. By the way, I will arrange for someone to deliver the New Year's goods for your Jiaodaokou Street Office in the next two days. I have prepared 1,000 kilograms of pork, 1,000 kilograms of beef, 2,000 kilograms of flour and 2,000 kilograms of rice for you. You can arrange it yourself. In addition, I have a lot of milk powder, chocolate and candy here. If you need anything, just let me know."

Zhou Xiu said hesitantly, "Xiao Yu, my people, including the residents' committees, are only in their early sixties. We don't need so many things. Besides, the funding from above is very limited, less than five yuan per person on average. Where can I get the money for so many things?"

Lin Yu gently placed the book in his hand on the eight-immortal table and said with a smile: "Do you still think you are working in the Dongxing Street Office of Tianjin? Our China is a society of favors. During festivals, shouldn't some superior departments and leaders express some concern? People of the same level should also visit each other, and they must not miss the condolences to the families of military martyrs and extremely poor families in the jurisdiction. Because of me, superiors and colleagues don't have to worry about these, because I have set rules for Qin Ming and others since I took office. No one is allowed to give me any form of gifts, so they come to our house empty-handed, whether they are some leaders."
