Siheyuan: Starting from the Police

The news of Lou Bancheng's donation became a hot topic, and even people in the compound heard about it.

The Lou family sold off all their property, even the small western-style house, and Lou's father and mother could only stay in Lou Xiao'e's room.

This forced Lou Xiao'e to happily sleep with the rain.

Lou Bancheng is known as Bancheng, and the amount of donation is staggering. Lou Bancheng's words "I dare not forget my country even though I am in a low position" were published in the newspaper, which also made people across the country know him as an advanced person who sacrificed his family for the country.

When the news spread, the leader presented Lou Bancheng with a handwritten calligraphy of the poem "卜算子·咏梅".

At the same time, in order to compensate Lou Bancheng, Sijiucheng appointed him as the stationmaster of the grain station near the Siheyuan.

At the same time, he was allocated a small courtyard with its own entrance in the alley. At Xu Guangfu's suggestion, Lou Bancheng refused the offer, saying that he already had a place to live and did not want to cause trouble to the country.

So, the deaf old lady's room was occupied by Lou's father and mother.

After solving the housing problem, Lou's father went out the next day to find a master craftsman to frame the calligraphy.

At the same time, Lou Xiao'e and other girls worked together, and the room of the deaf old lady in the backyard had been transformed greatly.

When Lou's father returned home, he solemnly hung the framed calligraphy in the hall.

Everything was ready. Father Lou looked at the words in the hall happily, especially the sentence "rz presented to the patriot Lou Chengdong." He laughed for half the night.

This caused Lou's mother to complain, but Lou's father was not angry.

"I'm telling you! With this, our family is as stable as a rock! This is a golden ticket to immunity from death!"

Lou's mother didn't take it seriously. "You think too much. Look at this shabby house you live in now. It's leaking everywhere. I don't know what kind of magic potion Xu Guangfu has given you. You don't even want a house with a gate or courtyard, but a shabby house like this!"

"You know nothing! That's just a woman's opinion! I tell you, if we live here, it will show our determination to reform and reduce other people's covetousness. In this way, we can live in peace and stability!"

"I'm telling you, be careful what you say outside in the future! There are so many people here, so be careful with your words and actions, otherwise the life that my Lou family has earned through generations will be wasted!"

……

The next day, Lou's father took office. After getting familiar with the grain station, he began his working life of doing nothing.

Lou Xiao'e also benefited from her father's influence. Although everyone was very enthusiastic in the past, that was because Lou's father was a shareholder of the steel mill and everyone was just being polite.

Now, it is the donation from Lou's father that has transformed Lou Xiao'e from an idle staff member in the publicity department of the steel rolling mill into a real propaganda officer.

This gave the "Quotations" and "Selected Works" that Lou Xiao'e always carried in her bag a new use.

Colleagues also felt that they had underestimated Lou Xiao'e in the past.

A decent publicity article helped Lou Xiao'e gain a firm foothold in the Propaganda Department.

After get off work in the evening, Liu Haizhong convened a meeting of the entire hospital.

First, he welcomed the Lou couple, then praised Lou's father for donating money to aid the disaster area. Finally, he chattered on for half an hour in an official tone, but all he said was empty talk.

Everyone applauded warmly to celebrate the end of Liu Haizhong's speech, and then everyone quickly left the front yard.

Xu Guangfu asked Yushui to prepare a table of delicious food and chatted with the three members of the Lou family for most of the night.

"Uncle, aunt, and Sister Xiao'e. This glass of wine celebrates your new life!"

Everyone drank it all.

"Yes! It really feels like a new life! Today, all those old friends called me one after another, and I realized that things are really different from the past." Father Lou poured himself a glass of wine, and kept sighing.

"That's right! You were a capitalist before, but now you are a patriot. These are completely different identities. What's more, even the leaders praise what you have done!"

"Yes, I can stand up straight and be a man from now on!"

Xu Guangfu nodded and poured wine for Father Lou. He reminded him:

"You don't know much about the people in the compound, so I'll say a few words. This group of people hates others and laughs at others, so uncle must remember to keep a low profile. Liu Haizhong is a mean man and a power-hungry person. Don't provoke him if you can."

"Don't pay too much attention to the others, basically nothing will happen. And Qin Huairu's family is used to crying poorly, so don't pay any attention to them, otherwise it will be an insult and there will be endless troubles."

Hearing this, Lou's father and mother nodded. Lou's mother then asked Xu Guangfu:

"Xiao Xu, you said I'm alone at home every day with nothing to do. I want to chat with the neighbors in the yard, but I don't know who to talk to. Can you give me some advice?"

"Oh... Auntie, you are too kind! There is an old man named Zhou in the backyard. The old couple are quite nice people. They live a hard life but they are very upright. You can go and have a chat if you have nothing to do."

"There's also Aunt Zhang in the front yard, and Aunt Yang from the housekeeper Yan Bugui's family. They're all good. It's just that Aunt Yang likes to scheme, but she's a nice person and she doesn't scheme against others."

"If you have nothing to do in the Middle Courtyard, don't stay there any longer. It's just Jia Zhang who has caused unrest in the whole courtyard! She has a foul mouth and will only cause trouble if she goes to the Middle Courtyard."

"You two old men have seen the world. If you know a little bit about the people in the hospital, you will find that they are not big enough to be played with one hand. You can control them at will!"

"I'm just reminding you that sometimes villains are at work and it's easy to get caught if you're not careful."

……

The few of them chatted until late at night, and the Lou family also had a basic understanding of the compound.

After the show, everyone went to sleep.

The next day, Lou's father went to work, while Lou's mother chatted with several aunts in the courtyard, and they became good friends in less than half a day.

Since then, the Lou family has taken root in the compound.

……

Time flies and more than half a month has passed.

The students' summer vacation is over and schools are starting to open.

On this day, a strange guest came to the compound.

Yan Bugui walked into the compound with a young female teacher and went straight to the Jia family.

Qin Huairu was washing clothes in the yard, which she never finished. From time to time, she glanced towards the hanging flower gate, waiting to see Sha Zhu.

Seeing Yan Bugui coming in, Qin Huairu greeted him lacking interest.

"The third uncle is here, who is this?"

Yan Bugui pointed at Qin Huairu and introduced her to the woman behind him, "This is Bang Geng... Jia Geng's mother, Qin Huairu!"

Then he introduced to Qin Huairu: "This is our new teacher Ran, who is now the head teacher of Banggeng. I came here specially to ask about your situation!"

Qin Huairu hurriedly wiped her hands on her clothes when she heard this, then reached out and shook Ran Qiuye's hand, greeting her warmly:

"Teacher Ran, hello! You are so troublesome to come here in person for such a small matter. Um... come in quickly, come in quickly!"

As he said this, he led the way and let Ran Qiuye into the house.
