Siheyuan: Starting to work in the street office

After Zhongshan took the electric fan, he bought some daily necessities at the supply and marketing cooperative. There was nothing in the house in Heizhima Hutong, so everything inside and outside had to be prepared from scratch.

After buying daily necessities, Zhong Shan bought two more vats. Although there was a vat in the house, these two were placed outside. When the weather was hot, he would fill the vats with water. When he got hot during the day, he could wipe his body and take a bath. There was no one else in the yard anyway, so he could use them however he wanted!

After delivering all the things to Heizhima Hutong, Zhongshan put the things in the house, went back to the courtyard to pick up his wife, and the two of them returned to Heizhima Hutong together.

Song Lili had never suffered since she was a child. Although it might be an exaggeration to say that she was spoiled, it was not wrong. After being with Zhong Shan, although she had never suffered, living in a slum was actually a challenge for Song Lili. Fortunately, she adapted to it!

Zhong Shan moved a chair for Song Lili and placed it at the door. The house had not been lived in since it was tidied, so it also needed to be tidied up. Song Lili also wanted to clean up, but was stopped by Zhong Shan!

"Lili, don't move, I'll clean it up, just sit there!"

Now Zhongshan is reluctant to let his wife work!

Fortunately, it was not messy and I could move in after a simple cleaning. After that, I put away the items I bought today. The only thing missing was the bedding. Zhongshan had already asked someone to make it, but it was not important. It was enough to have a bed in the hot summer.

The water pipe was originally connected from the neighboring yard. As no one had ever lived there and they were afraid that it would freeze in winter, they turned it off after testing. Zhong Shan went to the neighboring yard to open the valve of the water pipe joint. After returning to the yard, he filled the three water tanks inside and outside the house with water. Looking at the newly renovated yard, Zhong Shan felt a sense of accomplishment!

"Lili, what do you think? When the weather gets hotter in a few days, let's move here!"

Now Zhong Shan is a deputy director after all. He lives in an abandoned courtyard with only three rooms. He is not conspicuous and is not afraid of being seen by others.

After packing up, the courtyard was ready for living at any time, but there was no food yet. It would not be too late to get it when we officially moved in. When the two returned to the courtyard, they saw Qin Jingru at the door as soon as they entered the front yard. Seeing the two coming back, Qin Jingru came over and said:

"Lili, Brother Zhong, you guys are finally back. I've been here twice and haven't seen you!"

After hearing what Qin Jingru said, Song Lili asked curiously, "Jingru, we are back at my mother's house. What's the matter that makes you so anxious to find us?"

Qin Jingru pulled Song Lili and said, "I invited Section Chief Sun to dinner today. I wanted to find you guys during the day, but I didn't expect you two to take leave. When I returned to the courtyard, I heard the aunts say you were at home. As a result, when I went to your house, you were gone again. That's why I saw you for the first time! Did you eat dinner? Come to my house for a bite. Brother Zhuzi's dishes are almost ready, and Section Chief Sun hasn't come yet!"

Zhong Shan understood after hearing this. This was about Qin Jingru's regularization. Section Chief Sun must also know the couple's purpose. Since he agreed to come to his house, the matter was almost settled.

"Okay, I haven't eaten yet, so I don't have to make it tonight! When Section Chief Sun comes, I'll go with him!" Although He Yuzhu and Section Chief Sun knew each other, they were not very familiar with each other. Qin Jingru was familiar with him, but it was not appropriate for her to accompany him for drinks. Zhong Shan was happy to help.

Seeing that Zhong Shan agreed, Qin Jingru felt relieved: "Okay, Lili, Brother Zhong, then I will go home and wait for you!"

After Qin Jingru left, Zhong Shan fed the chickens and waited for Section Chief Sun at the door. Not long after, he saw Section Chief Sun slowly walking into the yard. Zhong Shan's home was in the front yard, and as soon as he came in, he saw Zhong Shan sitting at the door.

"Hey, Director Zhong, you're enjoying the cool air at the door!" Section Chief Sun saw Zhong Shan and greeted him jokingly.

After hearing the voice, Zhong Shan looked up and saw Section Chief Sun: "Brother Sun, please don't talk bad about me. What director or not, I'm waiting for you! Come on, Brother Sun, come in and sit for a while, have a cup of tea, and we'll go together later!"

After saying that, Zhong Shan stood up and let Section Chief Sun into the house. Although they were not coming to his home, they were already at the door, and it would be unreasonable not to let him go in to have a glass of water.

Section Chief Sun and Zhong Shan and his wife were not shy either. They were both his subordinates before. Although Zhong Shan was out now, Song Lili was still there, and Zhong Shan had only been transferred out for a few days, so Li Sen was still very familiar with him.

The three of them sat at home for a while and chatted for a while. Zhong Shan suddenly thought of what Yan Bugui said two days ago. He is still a commander without troops. It would be more convenient to recruit two people to use. However, he really doesn't have many candidates. He and Section Chief Sun have always had a good relationship. This can be regarded as a job quota. Although Section Chief Sun does not have much power, he is still a section chief after all. It is still worthwhile to do him a favor!

Thinking of this, Zhong Shan said to Section Chief Sun, "Brother Sun, I just got promoted and I didn't fight for power, so I have a good relationship with Director Wang. Director Wang also promised me that he could arrange for a few people to work in our place. Brother Sun, you know that I don't have many candidates. Brother Sun, do you have any relatives who want to come to our street office?"

Section Chief Sun was stunned when he heard this. Although that place was a place of right and wrong, it was still an opportunity after all. He could be considered to be working in their street office. It would not be easy to get in under normal circumstances. He would need a lot of connections. It was only because Zhong Shan had just been transferred there and did not fight for power, and Director Wang returned the favor that this opportunity was given.

"Xiao Zhong, I'm going home to see you. My sister's children are more down-to-earth. To be honest, it's really hard to arrange for my own children. For a good job, it takes a lot of connections. For an ordinary job, I'm just a section chief after all, and I can't show off. I originally wanted to risk my reputation to find a good job for my child. You have the opportunity. I'll go back and ask. Thank you in advance, brother!"

Hearing what Section Chief Sun said, Zhong Shan said politely, "Hey, Brother Sun, don't be polite to me. I'll wait for your news. The pillar should be almost done. Shall we go over now?"

"Let's go!"

The three of them had just walked out of the room and were about to go to the middle courtyard when they saw Han Yang in the backyard. Although Director Li had some doubts about Han Yang's ability and did not think as highly of him as he did at the beginning, he was still the leader of the task force after all. Han Yang, this young and green boy, could offend people without any shame, and unlike those old hands who were worldly-wise, he also had a bad reputation in the steel mill!

Power is a man's backbone. Han Yang, who holds power, has suffered some setbacks at Zhongshan before, but he is full of confidence recently because of the power he has recently gained. Although Zhongshan is the deputy director, he only has a few people under him. Unlike himself, not only has he changed many people, but he also has dozens of people under him. So although he is a little scared of Zhongshan, after cheering himself up, he feels that Zhongshan is nothing special!
