Siheyuan: Becoming a cadre after graduating from technical secondary school

By the time the Lin family members finished their meal leisurely and came to the open space in the backyard, most people in the yard had already come over and were discussing "Silly Zhu stealing chickens" in groups of three or five.

In this age with few entertainment activities, any wife in the yard returning to her parents' home would cause the neighbors to discuss for a while, not to mention this "big event" involving an old egg-laying hen.

To the parties involved, this is called "contradiction", to the neighbors watching, this is called "liveliness".

Lin Zongxuan glanced in the direction of the Jia family and found that only Qin Huairu and her mother-in-law Jia Zhang were there. Both of them seemed calm on the surface, but a little guilt appeared in their eyes from time to time.

From the descriptions of the neighbors, the Lin family members, including Lin Zongxuan (who only remembered the general plot after traveling through time several years), figured out the whole story.

At the beginning, when Xu Damao went to the countryside to show movies, the commune "gave" him two old hens. Xu Damao was alone at home and was too lazy to cook, so he found a chicken coop to raise them, thinking of letting them lay eggs for two days and then serving them meat when distinguished guests arrived in a while.

But when he got home from get off work today, he found a big hole in the chicken coop. Only an old hen, which was scared and wilted, was left in the coop, while the other fatter one was missing.

Xu Damao was furious. He searched around the yard again and again. Everyone he saw looked like the chicken thief, but he didn't find even a single hair.

Just when he was about to give up, he suddenly smelled a strong aroma coming from the He family's house. He rushed into the house in a rage and saw an old hen with its flesh and bones separated, being stewed in a casserole on the stove.

You say, isn’t this a coincidence that his mother opened the door for Qiao He - is it a coincidence?

In fact, there are many suspicious points in this matter. For example, Sha Zhu got off work late and had no time to steal the chicken and then deal with it properly. For example, the chicken in the casserole was actually only half a chicken. For example...

But Xu Damao and Sha Zhu were like natural enemies. Not to mention that something really happened this time, they would still niggle each other even when there was nothing to do.

The two of them couldn't get along after a few words, and soon they reached the point where they were fighting with sharp weapons. (Sha Zhu was holding a kitchen knife, and Xu Damao was holding a fire hook. The picture is in the comment section)

Although Lin Zongxuan knew that the two would definitely not be able to fight, when the neighbors in the Central Courtyard talked about this, it really felt like a decisive battle atop the Forbidden City.

Neighbor A clicked his tongue and said, "If you ask me, Sha Zhu is really bullying people this time. It's fine if he just stole someone's old hen, but he even said Xu Damao is an old rooster that only touches eggs but doesn't lay them. Which man can tolerate this?"

Lin Keke blinked her big eyes and asked curiously, "What happened next?"

Later, Qin Huairu from the middle courtyard and the second uncle from the back yard heard the noise and ran over to stop the two men.

Xu Damao insisted that it was Sha Zhu who stole the chicken. Although Sha Zhu always said that he did not steal it, he seemed to be hiding something and could not produce any evidence to prove that he did not steal it. This led to this public trial.

When the neighbors were discussing heatedly, an old man sitting in the front suddenly coughed twice. Everyone followed his gaze and saw the arrival of several "protagonists".

At this moment, Lin Zongxuan seemed to hear a huge gong sound.

,,,,,,

With the arrival of Sha Zhu and Xu Damao, the public trial officially began.

First, the seemingly fair-minded uncle asked Sha Zhu, "He Yuzhu, Xu Damao said that you stole the chicken from his house. Do you admit it?"

I have to say that the uncle has been keeping a low profile in the past two years and his speaking skills have improved. He always says "Xu Damao said" and his tone seems harsh, but he is actually helping Sha Zhu explain to the neighbors who are unaware of the truth.

Of course Sha Zhu denied it outright. If he was proven guilty of being a chicken thief, there was no point in him getting married.

Xu Damao, who lost his chicken, was not happy about it and asked with a frown, "Where did your chicken come from?"

Sha Zhu casually said that he bought it himself.

At this time, the third uncle probably took advantage of Xu Damao a lot, so he started to help him to attack Sha Zhu: "Sha Zhu, you said you bought it yourself, then which vegetable market did you buy it from?"

"Chaoyang Vegetable Market."

"That's not right." The third uncle tilted his face and asked suspiciously, "From our courtyard to Chaoyang Vegetable Market, even if you don't count the time you spend buying and slaughtering chickens, it takes at least 40 minutes to drive. When did you get off work today, Shazhu?"

This live "performance" was so amazing that Lin Zongxuan almost applauded the Third Uncle.

Scholars don't use knives to kill people. The third uncle easily made Sha Zhu choke, and he mumbled to himself, but no one knew how to explain it.

At this time, the second uncle, who was eager to re-establish his authority in the courtyard, also seized the opportunity to set a big trap for Sha Zhu: "In fact, in addition to stealing the chickens from Xu Damao and buying them himself, there is a third explanation for Sha Zhu's chickens."

The second uncle had a big fat face and said slowly: "Everyone knows that Sha Zhu is the chef of our steel mill. I think this chicken was most likely brought out from the cafeteria."

"Hey, hey, don't push it that way."

Sha Zhu got anxious and quickly explained, "Stealing a chicken from Xu Damao is a small matter, but stealing from the factory is called stealing public property. That's not a meeting in the courtyard, they're dragging me directly to the factory for a struggle session. How could I commit that?"

"It depends on what you say." The third uncle took advantage of the second uncle's words and said jealously: "Silly Zhu, what's in that lunch box you carry every day? Do you dare to tell me?"

I have to say that this time the second and third uncles really performed above their level. The two of them talked back and forth and pushed Sha Zhu into a desperate situation. He couldn't just say honestly, "Cut the chicken in two halves, the leader gets half and I get half."

At this time, the first uncle who had been silent had to come out to save the situation. He first said a few words to the third uncle, roughly meaning not to make a big deal out of a small matter and affect the unity of the courtyard. Then he looked at Sha Zhu and asked loudly: "He Yuzhu, I'll give you one more chance. Did you steal the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"

The old man asked while glancing in Qin Huairu's direction a few times, and he probably knew something.

Sha Zhu was in a dilemma at this moment, but when he turned his head and saw Qin Huairu looking at him pitifully, the dog-licking gene that had been hidden in his body for a long time overwhelmed his reason again: "Even if I stole it."

Lin Zongxuan glanced at Sha Zhu, who was bringing shame to the man, with annoyance, then looked at everyone.

Qin Huairu finally breathed a sigh of relief, while Xu Damao was actually stunned!

The third uncle took advantage of the situation and asked, "When was it stolen?"

Sha Zhu replied angrily: "It was 2 o'clock in the middle of the night last night, the same time as Zhou Paopi."

There was laughter all around.

But no matter how much he laughed or how much he laughed, stealing was a very serious crime in this era. Although the old man was furious, Sha Zhu was his current designated candidate for retirement, so he could only try his best to make up for him: "He Yuzhu, have you had a conflict with Xu Damao recently?"

Sha Zhu was stunned for a moment, and immediately followed up the conversation: "Yes, Xu Damao said bad things about me to my blind date a few days ago, and also spread rumors about me, saying, saying me..."

Although Sha Zhu didn't say his last sentence, the neighbors around him almost understood it. Some people's eyes on Sha Zhu suddenly changed from disgust to sympathy.

Next, although the first uncle wanted to characterize the incident as a minor quarrel between the two men, with the help of the third uncle and the second uncle, Xu Damao finally got 5 yuan and half a stewed casserole hen from Sha Zhu.

Judging from his expression, he seemed quite satisfied with the outcome of the matter.

But he was satisfied, but some people couldn't stand it anymore.

When Lin Zongxuan first came to this era, he always felt that his values ​​were out of place. It was only after he experienced a series of things that he gradually integrated into this place.

He didn't dare to guarantee that every choice he made was correct, but when he saw the various people in the audience, he couldn't help but shudder.

The first uncle remained silent, the second and third uncles drank tea with a smile, Xu Damao suddenly realized, Qin Huairu looked relaxed, and Sha Zhu had a blank expression.

In the distance is a crowd of people who are eager to watch the fun.

Almost every one of these people knows the truth, but they only want the truth they want. From behind them, Lin Zongxuan seemed to see He Yushui's desperate eyes.

Just as everyone was about to leave the meeting, someone suddenly stood up and asked loudly with a smile: "He Yuzhu, let me ask you, are you sure you stole the chicken from Xu Damao's house?"
