I am doing well in the Siheyuan

Xu Damao had had interactions with the Lou family and was well aware of their family situation.

That's a typical blood-sucking worm family.

Because the marriage failed, Li Huaide wanted to let Xu Damao stay in the factory, but Lou Zhiren interfered, causing Xu Damao to end up picking up rags.

Xu Damao always kept this grudge in mind.

"Yes, but the Lou family is quite powerful. Are you sure you can bring them down?"

"How can any force be greater than the power of our working class? Liu Haizhong, I think you need to improve your awareness. You will not achieve anything great if you are hesitant and cautious!"

"Yes, yes, you are right."

Now that Xu Damao is the acting station chief and has attached himself to Director Wang, Liu Haizhong naturally dares not have any objection in front of him.

If he wants to join the Revolutionary Committee, he still has to rely on Xu Damao's support.

After bending down and apologizing for a few words, Liu Haizhong tentatively suggested: "Stationmaster Xu, besides the Lou family, there is another typical family in the next yard!"

"Are you talking about Ye Ming from the next yard?"

"Yes, it's him!"

The conflict between Liu Haizhong and Ye Ming was irreconcilable. Once he gained power, he was eager to bring Ye Ming down.

Xu Damao frowned. Not knowing Ye Ming's background, he didn't want to provoke him easily.

"Although that guy is hateful, he acts cautiously and we can't catch him at all."

"How could there not be any? Have you forgotten that his father-in-law and mother-in-law both came back from abroad. They were doing well abroad, so why would they return to China to suffer?"

Liu Haizhong lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "This kind of background is always accurate when checked."

Xu Damao's eyes lit up after hearing this.

If this crime is proven, the person will be forced to undergo labor reform at the least, or...

As if he saw a bright road just ahead, Xu Damao's eyes flashed with greed.

At this time, this political storm not only swept the factory, but Red Star Primary School also actively responded to the call and required all faculty and staff to conduct deep self-reflection.

"No one is studying hard in school now. They just write and draw all day. I really don't know what they are doing."

Ran Qiuye looked much more haggard in recent days, and Ye Ming heard her complaining as soon as he returned home.

Reality and ideals are drifting further and further apart, making Ran Qiuye feel extremely tormented at school.

Ye Ming understood her suffering. The more difficult the time, the more she should face everything with a positive attitude.

He gently patted the back of Ran Qiuye's hand and comforted her: "Believe me, things will get better."

Ran Qiuye leaned her head on Ye Ming's shoulder, and the waves in her heart gradually subsided.

"How are things with my parents?"

"I received their letter today. The situation is not good. They have been suspended from work and someone has already put a label on them."

What Ran Qiuye is most worried about is his parents. The two elders returned to their country with great ideals to build the country, but ended up being treated unfairly. The pressure and grievances they must have endured must have been considerable.

"Since you're both suspended from work, why not bring me over to live with you so I can take care of you. There's an empty room in the backyard, and I can go to the street office to rent it tomorrow, and I don't need to transfer the property certificate."

"Bringing my parents to the courtyard? Will it cause you trouble?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? How can a family care about these things?"

When Ye Ming decided to spend his life with Ran Qiuye, he was ready to take responsibility.

Although this responsibility is heavy, he is willing to take it.

Ran Qiuye's eyes were red. At this moment, the only person their family could rely on was Ye Ming.

As the night deepens and the lights in the city gradually go out, countless people spend a sleepless night, looking forward to the arrival of a new day full of vitality.

The next day, the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill uncovered several more typical figures, and even the workshop director was not spared.

Director Yang couldn't stand it anymore and came out to say a few fair words, but Director Zhao of the Revolutionary Committee put several big accusations on him in public.

If the factory leadership team had not interceded for him, Director Yang would probably have been dragged up for criticism.

Fortunately, the disturbance was finally settled, but this incident also made the workers and cadres of the steel mill see the situation clearly.

Even someone like Director Yang could not stay out of it, let alone ordinary employees like them.

After this incident, the authority of the Revolutionary Committee in the factory was further consolidated.

"I'm so angry! You heard it all, right? That Zhao guy actually said in front of so many people that I was a traitor in the workers' team!"

Back in the office, Director Yang vented his anger at Ye Ming.

"Please calm down for a moment. I'm already showing you enough leniency by not teaching you a lesson in public."

"Ha, if you say so, do I have to buy him a generous gift and go to his house to thank him?"

Ye Ming’s words made Director Yang even more furious.

"We keep talking about these things. This week, our factory's output has dropped to less than 10% of last week's. If this continues, we won't be able to complete the production tasks imposed by our superiors, and we won't even be able to pay the workers' salaries.

If the factory really shuts down, will the government have to support these 10,000 people?"

Director Yang pointed out the most pressing issue at present in just one sentence.

After listening to Director Yang's complaints, Ye Ming also returned to the kitchen.

Liu Lan and Ma Hua are reading the Little Red Book in their spare time.

Faced with Director Yang, who seemed powerless even in front of the Revolutionary Committee, these small employees with no background could only go with the flow.

Ye Ming did not intervene too much in this regard.

Having this idea of ​​adapting to the times can at least protect ourselves in such an era.

When the bell rang for the end of get off work, Ye Ming immediately rushed to Yanzhi Lane.

The Ran family had obviously become a lot quieter; even people who didn't know the truth could sense the unusual atmosphere here.

This situation is normal.

"Oh, Xiao Ye is here!" Seeing Ye Ming coming, the gloom on Ran's father's face eased a little.

However, when he found that Ran Qiuye was not behind Ye Ming, his expression changed instantly.

"What's wrong? Qiuye and Xiaoxin didn't come with her? Is she okay?"

The situation is now confusing and people are in panic.

Ran's father and mother didn't care much about their situation, but they were worried that their daughter would be implicated.

“Don’t worry, Qiuye is fine.

I came here this time to see how you two are doing and to ask if you two are willing to move to Nanluoguxiang."

"Moving?" Ran's father and mother looked at each other. They had never thought of leaving the place where they had lived for a long time.

“Yes, moving.

We have a vacant room, you can rent it by just giving us a call.

I heard that you guys stopped working and are resting at home. Qiuye has been feeling uneasy these days, so I thought we should move in together so we can take care of each other."

Ye Ming stated frankly the purpose of his visit.

After hearing this, Ran's father was also shaken.

Although Yanzhi Lane was once prosperous, it is now becoming increasingly dilapidated.

They also yearn for a life of enjoying the company of their grandchildren and a happy family.

"Xiao Ye, you probably know our situation. It may be more difficult than you think. I'm afraid..."

"As long as I have a clear conscience, what do you two have to worry about? With me here, the sky won't fall."

Having said this, Ran's father and mother no longer insisted.

"Okay, then let's do as you say. When are we going to move?"

"The sooner the better. I'll pick you up at this time tomorrow. The rooms and furniture there are ready."

"I'm really causing you trouble."

"Don't say that, you're too polite."
