Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping didn't have to wait long before the middle-aged man came in with an old man and several young men.

After walking around the coffin, the old man asked about the original owner's mother's birth date, then said after a moment of silence:

"It's hot now, and the body won't stay here for long, so don't keep it here. Today is a good day, so let's bury it today."

After listening to this, Xu Changping felt that what the old man said was right. It was the hottest time of the year, and it would not work if the food was left without ice for a long time. So he followed the old man's advice.

Seeing that Xu Changping agreed, the old man asked the young men who followed him to cover the coffin with black cloth, and then carried the coffin towards the cemetery outside the city.

Now they were not allowed to sprinkle yellow paper or hang white banners, so Xu Changping could only carry the coffin and cry all the way behind.

When they arrived at the cemetery, Xu Changping and his friends buried the coffin, then paid the old man and let him go.

After they left, Xu Changping knelt there and burned paper for a while, muttering as he burned:

"Auntie, I'm sorry. I don't know how I ended up in your son's body. If he comes looking for you, I hope you can be reunited in the underworld."

After saying that, he dug a hole and buried the original owner's favorite pen next to the grave. After that, he burned some paper before leaving the cemetery.

After leaving the cemetery, Xu Changping found a bus back to the city and returned directly to the steel rolling mill.

After returning to the steel rolling mill, Xu Changping found the office next to Li Huaide. He discovered that the door was not closed, so he knocked on the open door a few times.

Hearing the knock on the door, everyone in the office looked up at him, and Xu Changping quickly asked:

"Excuse me, that's Secretary Zhou!"

As soon as Xu Changping finished speaking, he saw the young man in the infirmary today stand up and say:

"It's Xiao Xu. Director Li told me about your situation. Wait for a moment while I get the information and I'll take you there."

Xu Changping walked up to him and gave Secretary Zhou the information that Li Huaide had handed to him in the morning.

Secretary Zhou put the information together with the information he had taken out from the desk, put them in the backpack on the back of the chair, and left the office with Xu Changping.

After the two men left the steel rolling mill, Secretary Zhou took Xu Changping and walked towards the street office in Nanluoguxiang.

Secretary Zhou knew that Xu Changping's mother had just had an accident today, and thinking that Xu Changping was in a bad mood, he didn't say hello to him along the way.

The two walked for about 30 minutes before they arrived at a separate courtyard.

"This is the Nanluoguxiang Street Office. From now on, any problems you have will be handled by them."

Standing at the door of the street office, Secretary Zhou said to Xu Changping.

"I understand, Secretary Zhou, I'm sorry to bother you today." Xu Changping replied in a hoarse voice.

"It's okay, this is my job."

Secretary Zhou replied and then took Xu Changping towards the gate of the street office.

When they arrived at the gate, Secretary Zhou handed the letter of introduction to the guard at the door of the street office. After receiving the signal to let them in, he took Xu Changping into the courtyard smoothly.

The yard of the entire street office is not big, just a small entrance.

However, it was divided into several rooms, and there was a sign on the door of each room.

Secretary Zhou took Xu Changping to the room with a sign that read "Director's Office".

"dong dong dong"

Secretary Zhou went forward and knocked on the door.

"Please come in."

Soon, a somewhat serious female voice was heard from inside.

Xu Changping followed Secretary Zhou in and saw a female comrade in her forties, with long hair neatly tied in a bun at the back, sitting behind a desk reviewing documents.

"Director Wang, busy with that."

Secretary Zhou greeted with a smile as he entered the room.

Hearing Secretary Zhou's voice, the other party raised his head and said with a smile:

"Hey, how come you have time to come here, is there something wrong?"

"Director Wang, this is Xu Changping. The factory has temporarily allocated the two rooms at No. 95 Nanluoguxiang to him. I brought him here to tell you."

As he spoke, Secretary Zhou revealed Xu Changping who was following behind him.

"Did you bring your documents and identification?"

This was not the first time Director Wang had met Secretary Zhou. He knew that he was a capable assistant to Director Li in the logistics department of the steel mill.

"It's all here."

Secretary Zhou stepped forward and took out all the documents in the bag and placed them on Director Wang's desk.

Director Wang picked it up, looked through it carefully, and asked:

"Xu Changping, I see on your profile that you are a student at a technical secondary school, but you are not an employee of the steel mill. How could the steel mill allocate the house to you?"

Before Xu Changping could speak, Secretary Zhou explained the reason first.

"Director Wang, this is the case. Xiao Xu's mother died in the factory today. He never had a house allocated to him before. Now he has nowhere to live. The factory will temporarily allocate this house to him. When he gets a job in the future, the house will be returned to the factory."

"Oh, that's fine too. I see that your household registration was previously registered with your mother at the factory. You should be able to transfer it here in a few days."

"I will transfer the house to your name first. You can come over later when you have time to get a new household registration."

As Director Wang spoke, he took out a housing allocation certificate from the drawer below, signed and stamped it, and handed it to him along with two keys.

"The two rooms you've been assigned are pretty good. This courtyard used to be a garden, and the two rooms inside are quite large."

"I have to thank the factory for its care."

Xu Changping quickly took the things that Director Wang handed over and put them in his bag, and said in a hoarse voice.

Looking at Xu Changping's expression, Director Wang said nothing more and turned to say:

"Okay, Secretary Zhou, go out and find Xiao Zhao and ask him to take Xu Changping to the courtyard to familiarize himself with the gate."

Then he said to Xu Changping: "Come here and find me if you need anything in the future."

"Thank you, Director Wang, for your trouble."

Xu Changping lowered his head, rubbed his eyes, and replied in a low voice.

Secretary Zhou spoke a few more words to Director Wang before taking Xu Changping out of Director Wang's office.

"Wait here, I'll go call Officer Zhao."

After saying that, Secretary Zhou turned around and went into the office next door, found Secretary Zhao from the street office, told him about Xu Changping's family affairs, and then brought him out.

"This is your brother Zhao. You will go with him to the house you were assigned. I won't follow you because I have work to do at the factory."

Xu Changping watched as Secretary Zhou and a square-faced young man came out of the office, and after listening to their introduction, he quickly greeted them:

"Hello, Brother Zhao."

Then he said to Secretary Zhou:

"Then Brother Zhou, you go ahead and do your work. I will follow Brother Zhao."

Secretary Zhou saw that Xu Changping was fine, said hello to Secretary Zhao and left first.
