Siheyuan, I want to lie down but I become a tool

Liu Haizhong drank a sip of water slowly, looked at Yan Bugui who was jogging to open the gate, grinned with satisfaction, and thought to himself that Old Yan was quite sensible, and that intellectuals were really good at judging the situation, and that this frangipani was really worth it.

Along with Sha Zhu's words of thanks, Liu Haizhong walked slowly around the yard with his bulging belly, and solemnly announced to everyone that Sha Zhu's blind date plan had been successfully completed. After returning home, he made a note of it in his notebook.

Xu Damao, who had just returned from the countryside and was pushing his bicycle to the gate of the yard, looked at the strange girl walking out of the yard and suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart.

After turning around and looking at Liu Guangtian coming out of the toilet, he had an idea in mind. He looked around and saw that no one was paying attention to him, so he immediately turned the car around and chased after the girl, but he was still discovered by Banggeng who ran out to play...

Cheng Pingping looked at Sha Zhu and knew that he was already too excited. She smiled and said jokingly:

"I've brought the person to you. The rest is up to you. My job is to arrest people, not to sentence them."

Silly Zhu's smile froze. Why should he rely on himself? How could he rely on others when he only knew half of what they did? He couldn't just go back to his old job and block people on the street. What if he got caught? Brother Zhu, a canteen monitor, didn't he have any dignity?

"Why don't you make an appointment for me again, or pass a message for me? I'm a shy girl, what if someone thinks I'm frivolous?"

Seeing Sha Zhu looking around and talking stubbornly, Cheng Pingping finally understood the difference between him and Xu Damao. She rolled her eyes and replied jokingly:

"No wonder you don't have a wife. You and my son Damao have both been arrested. How could they be so shameless as to go to the police station? You are just too proud. In this respect, you are far worse than Damao."

When Sha Zhu heard that this was intolerable, he immediately became unhappy, and immediately put on a proud and arrogant expression, and replied with disdain:

"He can be compared to me. He is just good at talking nonsense, but he is far from being serious. I have to advise you to be more careful with him."

"How come you are such a dog-faced person that you change your mind so easily? I'm trying to introduce you to someone out of kindness, but you're plotting against me. What do you want to do to sow discord between us? I think you're destined to be single. I'll tell Ning Yue tomorrow that you're not a good person."

Sha Zhu stared at Cheng Pingping with her eyes wide open, and was stunned for a moment. Then he immediately backed down and replied humbly with a smile:

"How can that be? Please be kind. Besides, you wouldn't do anything to ruin someone's marriage. Just pretend I didn't say anything. If Ning Yue and I get together, I will thank you."

"That's more like it. If you keep talking nonsense, I won't be polite to you."

The deaf old lady looked at her grandson with his eyes wide open, then quietly came out from the side, swung her cane at Sha Zhu, frowned and said sternly:

"Sun thief, that's the wife of that bad scoundrel Xu Damao, don't think about it. That girl has a good heart, but two people can't be together if they sleep in the same bed. Either she was led astray by Xu Damao, or the two of them can't grow up together. You two are not related at all."

Sha Zhu covered his butt, posed like a scoundrel, and replied in a serious tone:

"Please don't talk nonsense. If Xu Damao hears it, it will cause trouble for him. But I don't think these two people will live long. But I have just said what I should say. Whether they listen or not is not my business."

The deaf old lady stared at Sha Zhu seriously for a long time before she sighed and replied:

"You can just say it. They are a family, and Cheng Gongan is a reasonable person. How can she be happy if you say that her husband is not good? She needs to figure it out herself.

Don't play dumb with me. This is a good girl today. She is kind and smart. You have to pay attention to her. Don't just talk big like before, or I will really break the glass in your house."

"How can that be possible? This girl is indeed good, but I'm just worried that she won't like me. What should I do?"

"He hasn't expressed his opinion yet, so what are you afraid of? A good girl is afraid of a clinging man. You can't let him down. If you really can't do it, go find that nagging guy for advice. That guy has a lot of clever ideas, so he will definitely succeed."

Zhang Xingwang heard a general idea about Sha Zhu's blind date from his fourth sister. Although Sha Zhu decided to take the initiative this time, Zhang Xingwang had a bad feeling that this would most likely not work out. Don't ask why; the reason is that Sha Zhu committed too many sins in his previous life.

Zhang Xingwang thought about it and decided that it was none of his business, so he didn't ask any further questions. But Wang Xiulan obviously didn't think so. Her son had a criminal record, so what if he suddenly went crazy and tried to steal the money?

He pulled Zhang Xingwang aside and gave him a quiet warning, then praised his daughter-in-law to the utmost, and pointed at Bai Xiaoya who was laughing and joking with her fourth sister.

They said that the daughter-in-law has a nice figure except for her short legs, a nice appearance except for her baby face, and is good at housework except for not being able to cook. Although she doesn't have a child yet, you can tell at a glance that she is a good fertile one with her appetite...

Zhang Xingwang was speechless after hearing this, and then he called his wife over and said to Bai Xiaoya with a serious face:

"Mom just praised you for a long time, shouldn't you show some appreciation?"

Bai Xiaoya smiled generously, revealing a mouthful of white teeth, and replied nonchalantly:

"Of course. I've never been disliked by my elders in person since I was a child. Mom, how about I buy you a piece of clothing tomorrow? How about I buy you a pair of cotton shoes when it's cold?

Mom, why are you so hesitant? You can't be a sly person. Just tell me whether you just praised me or not. How can I let you praise me for nothing? If I don't express my opinion, what will I do if you don't praise me in the future?

Daughter-in-law, I have money, all earned by myself, not your son's. Let's just leave it at that. I happen to be out on a business trip tomorrow."

Wang Xiulan was finally successfully brainwashed by her daughter-in-law. She hadn't said a word for a long time, and in order to avoid being misunderstood by her daughter-in-law, she turned around in a hurry and took a long time to come back to her senses.

She said angrily that a scarf was her bottom line, and don't even think about clothes or cotton shoes. She covered her head and swore secretly that she would never praise her daughter-in-law casually again.

The next day, Bai Xiaoya dragged her mother to buy a scarf. Zhang Xingwang had just arrived at the unit when Xiao Song asked him to go to Director Wang's office. After Zhang Xingwang went in, he found Director Qi was also there. The two of them stared at each other with a bitter and grudge look.

Director Wang's complexion has been getting worse day by day recently, but it's not because he's hungry. It's mainly because the aftermath of the layoffs is not over yet, and he has been attending meetings all day long. According to Xiao Song, he didn't return home until the early hours of the morning yesterday.

Director Wang looked at Xiao Song, who had lost weight and looked sallow, and compared her with Bai Xiaoya, who was becoming more and more beautiful. She sighed deeply. Putting aside her thoughts, at least her niece was living a good life after getting married, and she felt more confident about what she was about to say.

"Xingwang, the lake is frozen. When can you deliver the fish you owe me?"

Zhang Xingwang was a little confused. Sure enough, when both directors were present, nothing good would happen. He subconsciously glanced at Director Qi who was smoking, and then replied in surprise:

"Director Wang, please stop joking. When did I owe you fish? Beihai Park is not under the jurisdiction of our street. What are you talking about? You are crossing the line, don't you know?"

"Don't fool your aunt. The last time I wrote you a note, it said fish. You have to make up for it. Otherwise, if we are found out, none of us three will be in trouble."

"Auntie Wang, what you said is true. From the warehouse to the kitchen, even the old man who guards the door knows about this. If someone wanted to report it, they would have reported it long ago. Besides, even if they did, they would have reported it to you and Director Qi first. Can't you just explain it? There's no need to make it so serious. It's so cold, and with my brain, aren't you afraid of freezing out?"

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Director Wang changed her usual tough attitude. Not only did she not draw the curtains or perform her talent show, but her tone and expression softened, and she tentatively said:

"Or you can just buy more food according to the price of the fish. I promise that this matter has nothing to do with you. I will handle any problem myself. What do you think?"

Director Wang's action confused Zhang Xingwang. Although he didn't know what happened, he knew in his heart that he couldn't make any concessions at this critical juncture, otherwise God knows what Director Wang would do after tasting the sweetness. According to his style, once he sees that there is hope, he will definitely turn around and treat you like a donkey in the production team.

"Director, please don't make it difficult for me. You know the recent situation. Just ask around the streets and you will find which unit has the same food as ours. You know I'm not smart, so don't scare me with the fish. What if I get excited and lie down at home?"

After hearing this, Director Wang raised his eyebrows, his eyes instantly turned red, and he slammed the table and replied angrily:

"I don't care. You are a heartless man. If you have the ability, why don't you use it? If you don't get the food, I will report myself. Anyway, you are a heartless man!"

After Director Wang finished speaking, he pointed at Director Qi who was smoking and said:

"And you, are you not going to take care of this matter?"

When Director Qi raised his head, Zhang Xingwang realized that he was not in good condition either, with untidy beard and bloodshot eyes. However, Director Qi only looked up at the aggressive Director Wang, lowered his head and took a deep puff of cigarette, as if nothing had happened. After a long time, he replied:

"I can't manage it, and neither can he."

After hearing this, Director Wang slammed the table in anger again, and scolded the two of them for being so conscienceless, calling them sister and aunt, but in the end he couldn't point fingers at any of them.

The three people in the office then fell into a brief silence until Director Qi finished smoking and saw that Director Wang wanted to continue talking, so he spoke first:

"Zhang Xingwang and I still have work to discuss, so we'll leave first."

"Just go, you'll have to take care of him, or I'll report both of us."

Confused Zhang Xingwang followed Director Qi to his office, and then learned from Director Qi the reason why Director Wang got angry.

Two veterans passed away yesterday afternoon. Although they were called veterans, they were actually not very old. They all retired due to injuries. They were also the focus of the street office. The only older one was working in logistics.

Those who were able to recuperate in Yanjing after retiring were, needless to say, men who had crawled out of a pile of corpses. There were more than ten such people within the jurisdiction of the subdistrict office. Director Wang never expected that two of them would die simultaneously yesterday, as if they had telepathy, and they died one after the other.

After the two directors arrived, they found out that the cause of death of the two people was the recurrence of old injuries caused by malnutrition and accidents. Before she could figure out the situation, the commune secretary came with instructions from the army chiefs. He scolded them and sent condolences to the remaining people overnight.

The two directors did not find out until the evening that the two veterans had given all their rations to the refugee children, which led to the accident. Thinking of the relief supplies sent today, they both felt a pang in their hearts and went to the residences of the remaining people overnight.

As expected, the remaining veterans have given all the gifts they received as condolences to the fleeing children. Seeing how pale and thin the veterans are, it will only take a few days for them to survive if this continues.

Several disabled veterans said seriously that they were missing limbs and didn't need to eat that much. The only one who cursed was the one in charge of logistics, who was said to be Director Wang's leader. His logistics was not about transportation, but about behind enemy lines. The old man pointed at Director Wang's nose and asked her if she was idle. If she had time for that, she might as well pay more attention to the children.

"Brother, I know what's going on. Don't do anything. If the sky falls, there will be someone taller to hold it up. You are just a small section chief. You have nothing to do with this."

Zhang Xingwang also nodded without comment. He knew in his heart that Director Wang was so anxious not for the official title, but mostly for her leader.

The problem of refugees has been going on for a long time, and it is not a problem that she can solve at her level. If she intervenes, she will be worrying about nothing. What if it attracts the attention of the upper level? How to explain the source of food? She might even be sliced ​​and used as a specimen.

"Brother Qi, this matter really has nothing to do with me. The problem is, what if Director Wang suddenly complains? Do you think she is trying to scare us? This is no small matter. If we can't explain it clearly, we will have to go to the farm to work."

"The fish is fine. Director Wang is just trying to scare you. The secretary has already reported the fish issue. This kind of thing is not even a problem in the eyes of the senior leaders.

As long as it does not harm the public interest, no one will make a big deal about it. If you use grain to replace fish, I can even issue you a ticket from the district. Nowadays, to put it in an exaggerated way, if you have too much grain, the district will organize people to catch fish and exchange them with you.

I will find a way to deal with the matter Director Wang mentioned. You don't have to worry about it. Don't blame her. Everyone has different standards for measuring problems. From ancient times to the present, there are only a few people who are familiar with Lingqing.

But I believe her when she said she would report herself. Anyway, I don't agree with her approach of only focusing on the present. Okay, go back to work."

The matter was finally resolved. I heard that Director Qi begged and pleaded with everyone to borrow some food from somewhere else. For this reason, two people who looked like leaders came to Director Qi's office and stayed for a long time before leaving.

During this period, Xiao Song said that she not only saw Director Wang giving money to Director Qi with a deep hatred, but also heard every word that was said in Director Qi's office through the door when she passed by.

Director Qi is not particular. A good horse will never turn back to the pasture it has been before. Only a donkey can do that. A camel is the one that eats and spits out what it has. Let him be more sensible and take the initiative to choose between Qi the Donkey and Qi the Camel...
