Siheyuan: 55 years, starting from a buyer

Chapter 39 Partial Acceptance

Hearing this, Chen Sheng's vitality increased slightly: "In this case, the delivery mission is more suitable." He chose an easy part to accept.

Mr. Chen then reminded: "Moreover, I also saw a record on the bulletin board of how many rodents were captured, including sparrows, mosquitoes, flies, etc." His tone revealed his worry and confusion about the matter.

Li Caicai said with deep feeling: "As the leader of the rat extermination team, the responsibility is heavy and there is no need to elaborate on it."

"Brother Li, don't worry, I will definitely stand by you and support your work."

Wang Gang's enthusiasm is no less than his flattery of his superiors.

"That's settled then, comrade captain. I'll go put out the rat poison right away." Chen Sheng grabbed two large bags of rat poison that Li Caicai had brought back and rushed out the door.

Li Caicai: ???? (surprised expression)

In this regard, he was at a loss as to what to do with Chen Sheng's approach. Since Chen Sheng took the initiative to administer the medicine, he just let him do it.

Arriving at the cafeteria, Chen asked for some food, mixed some rat poison, borrowed a gun from the store owner, climbed to the top of the store and started to put out the poison.

Then he thought for a moment, wondering if people might have more ingenious ways to deal with these rats and sparrows, or if it would be safer to hide on the roof first.

...

Looking at the space basket in his hand, he prepared three long lines for hanging nets, tied them to the hooks of the basket, and gently scattered some food to attract prey, waiting quietly in a corner of the roof.

The residents on the street were busy, some were catching sparrows, and some were digging holes.

Suddenly, Chen Shenghuo caught Director Sun bringing two people to the front of the store. During the conversation, he learned that they were staff from the neighborhood committee who came to help assign tasks.

"You and a few others over there, act together according to the arrangements of the neighborhood committee." As soon as Director Sun arrived, he randomly named a few people, including activist Wang Gang. He left with the staff and received clear role instructions - the duty of waving the flag.

Mr. Chen looked at the colorful flags rising in the distance and knew that those people might be going to serve as signs to stop the sparrows.

He waved to Wang Gang who was working hard, but Wang Gang looked at this seemingly lazy man with a mocking look.

Mr. Chen secretly felt sorry for the fool. He wondered if his arms could keep moving freely after waving the flag all day.

"Xiao Chen, how is the arrangement of rat poison going?" Purchasing Manager Li climbed up and asked.

"Everything is ready, look!" Mr. Chen pointed the surroundings with gestures.

Seeing the tight rope and three baskets in Chen's hands, Li asked doubtfully: "Can this thing really catch those sparrows?"

Mr. Chen replied easily: "Let's wait and see."

"I don't think that's possible. Sparrows are very smart, how could they fall into your basket?" Purchaser Li looked unconvinced.

Chen Sheng shrugged, looking nonchalant. "What else can we do?" He said it as if he didn't really care about the matter, and he just wanted to find an excuse to slip away.

In fact, for Mr. Chen, having fun is the key.

That's the fun of life.

With his eyes rolling slyly, Li Caigou came up with an idea: "Why don't you use a slingshot? Then you can sit there and shoot birds leisurely."

Chen thought for a moment and rejected his proposal. "Forget it, I'll just keep looking at my basket. It's not easy to kill time by hunting birds."

Looking at the silly bird-catching behavior in the basket, Li Caigou glanced at Mr. Chen again and understood.

He knew Mr. Chen's true face and could only sigh and shake his head.

Unexpectedly, there was a fool who didn't know the seriousness of the situation. Frightened by the colorful flags, he rushed directly into Chen's trap.

Throughout the morning, Mr. Chen was enjoying his lazy life, often admiring the rich scenery in the space and the trivialities of the daily life of the people in the capital.

However, his mood changed when he noticed Wang Gang standing up in the distance.

He signaled to Wang Gang to stop wasting time and immediately carry out the flag-waving mission. This action angered Wang Gang, and his face turned gloomy.

During lunch, when everyone returned to the office, Chen saw Wang Gang eating with shaking hands while holding his lunch box. He asked with concern, "Comrade Gang, how do you feel?"

Wang Gang responded with a snort without any extra words.

However, Wang Gang was more devoted to flag-raising in the afternoon because during the lunch break, Sister Tao specifically reminded him: "Xiao Gang, take care of yourself and don't get too tired." She even massaged Wang Gang's shoulders intentionally or unintentionally, showing her care.

But Mr. Chen was not so lucky and only managed to capture one sparrow that day.

Purchasing Manager Li asked in confusion: "Did you really catch the sparrow like that?" Mr. Chen responded by taking out the dead sparrow in the basket, but did not elaborate on the process of obtaining it.

Even so, one sparrow was enough to prevent Mr. Chen from finishing last in this grocery store competition.

After all, those who shoot birds with slingshots have poor results; their accuracy is unattainable.

In view of Wang Gang's physical condition, Li Caicai said with concern: "Do you want to continue waving the flag tomorrow?" Wang Gang did not expect that this small task would make him so tired. He smiled and said: "Maybe the organization can't arrange for me tomorrow."

So, they started to joke: "Why don't we let Mr. Chen try tomorrow?" Hearing this, Mr. Chen said seriously: "No, I am the boss of catching sparrows in the store today. Today is not bad, I will try to perform better tomorrow."

Hearing what Mr. Chen said, Wang Gang was obviously unwilling to delve into it: "Old Li, how many did he catch?" Purchasing Manager Li raised a finger, as if to reveal the mystery.

Mr. Chen grumbled in dissatisfaction, and Wang Gang decided to challenge him to a duel.

It was settled, "The loser has to do the winner's work for fifteen days!" Li Yuanyuan always likes to join in the fun and make the situation even more lively.

This made Mr. Chen look forward to it, thinking that he could have a little rest at least in the second half of the month.

As for catching sparrows, Mr. Chen thought it was extremely simple - as long as he opened the basket slightly, the sparrows would fly in on their own. The current environment was just right for them to fall into the trap.

Actions were not only being taken in stores, but also on the streets to eliminate the "four pests" (rats and birds). These small achievements could be exchanged for practical items such as matches, candies or hairbands, and people's enthusiasm was boosted by the rewards.

Mr. Chen, who was riding his bike home, had just arrived at the open space outside his neighbor's house when he heard an argument: "Yan Fugui, you have to fill that hole, or I will take you to the street office!" It turned out that the neighbors had a dispute over clearing up the rat infestation.

When he walked into his yard, Mr. Chen found that it was full of holes dug by them. He almost sprained his foot and was speechless.

At this time, he saw Banggeng holding a rope with a captured mouse hanging on it.

Seeing this pair of partners, Mr. Chen thought to himself that they had quite a few similarities.

When he arrived at the backyard, he saw Team Leader Liu Haizhong directing his subordinates Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu to work, so he hurriedly greeted them and said, "Team Leader, you have worked hard!" While Liu Haizhong reminded the two not to slack off, he did not forget to respond to Mr. Chen's kindness.

Mr. Chen praised: "The team leader is really a role model!" Then, Team Leader Liu suggested that the two brothers go to his house to help drive away flies and mosquitoes.

Mr. Chen muttered to himself with a complicated expression, not knowing how to respond to this sudden invitation.

Where did the flies and mosquitoes come from in the house? I thought it was just like your house. "Chen Shengsheng quickly declined the kindness of Team Leader Liu.

Then Chen Sheng suddenly remembered: "Team Leader Liu, Uncle Yan from the big yard, it seems that the people from the next yard have caught him, don't you plan to go and take a look?"

"What are you arresting him for?" Liu Haizhong was puzzled.

"He just to catch rats, he tore holes in other people's walls.

Now that we are stuck there, a leader like you has to take the lead and take charge of it," Mr. Chen further explained.

Liu Haizhong is such a fool. He knows that he shouldn't tear down other people's relationships casually, but he doesn't understand what Lord Yan is thinking.

"This old Yan is too unreasonable. I'll go and take a look at the situation." After saying that, Liu Hai left the yard absent-mindedly.

After walking a few steps, he also specifically reminded his men: "You two guys, don't be lazy, do your work honestly, and I will deal with you when I come back."

Mr. Chen looked at the two unfortunate children and felt pity for them. Life without their father was a misery for them.

This father and son are just like landlords exploiting workers.

He went back alone, disdainful of watching the excitement, after all, the problems were almost solved.

If Team Leader Liu goes there, he will just be busying around in vain, no one will pay any attention to him, and he will come back on his own in the end.

However, when Chen was having a sweet dream in the middle of the night, he was awakened by a hurried call.

"Xiao Chen! Xiao Chen! Wake up!" It was Sha Zhu who was knocking on the door, his voice urgent and flustered.

Mr. Chen rubbed his eyes, put on his clothes and opened the door.

Sha Zhu grabbed Chen Sheng without saying a word and ran out.

"Wait a minute, what happened?" Mr. Chen was extremely shocked and thought: Why is he so panicked? Could someone be critically ill?

Could it be that Wang Ma died, and Old Man Jia took Sister Zhang away? Or was Jia Dongxu taken away by his father? Were they both taken away together? Or was there something wrong with the deaf old lady? But he felt that the timing was not right.

Sha Zhu then said: "You have to look at Banggan, he was bitten."

Chen Sheng was brought by Sha Zhu to the central courtyard at the gate of Jia's house, where Yi Zhongjian was already waiting anxiously. They were standing in a circle, watching Banggan rolling on the ground in pain.

Seeing Chen Sheng coming, everyone hurriedly urged him: "Hurry up and check on Banggan, he has been crying all afternoon."

"What's going on?" Mr. Chen immediately asked for details.

"I caught a mouse during the day and was trying to play with it for fun at night, but I got bitten." Qin Huairu explained hurriedly.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Chen was speechless. This rat saint in the courtyard actually tied rats in the quilt for fun.

Chen Sheng ordered: "Shazhu, hold him down."

Sha Zhu looked at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi and shrank back.

Yi Zhongjian took the order quickly, "Everyone hold him down together, don't let him move."

Sha Zhu had no choice but to work together with Yi Zhongzhong to control the stick.

Mr. Chen was at the scene and saw the wound at a glance. He realized that the rat had done something really brutal.

Is Banggan born in the Year of the Pig? He didn't wake up even though his arm was torn so hard. It seems that he was really sleeping very deeply.
