Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang listened to Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng explaining the great feat of flying an airplane and raising the red flag with a confused look on his face. He took a deep breath in his heart. This was really a living example of what the consequences of a villain's success would be. Then he asked:

"Your methods all have a certain chance of promoting the successful transformation of these backward elements, but be careful not to kill them. They still have to play a role in training more technical talents for our new society."

"Of course, if there are people who can repent in time and are willing to contribute to the new society, we welcome them. You should pay attention to this."

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng quickly stood at attention and said

"Report to the Chairman, we will definitely transform these backward elements successfully"

Zhang Renkang continued to ask

"Is there anything else between you two?"

Xu Damao said with a smile

"President, we are still short of manpower in the wasteland behind our factory. Why don't we send some of the backward elements who have stopped working there, so that they can reflect on themselves during the labor reform and educate them through their contributions to the country."

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"Your suggestion is very good. I think I can consider it."

"Instead of letting them go unrepentant, it would be better to do something more for the country. OK, I agree. I will ask Secretary Tang to notify the Production Department and organize the backward elements who have stopped working at home to go to the back of the factory to open up wasteland."

Xu Damao smiled and said

"President, you are wise. I think Qin Huairu is not good enough, so let her go to Yi Zhonghai's group to reflect on herself."

Zhang Renkang shook his head and said

"Da Mao, we educate and reform them in order to add some strength to the new society, not for anything else. You should weigh the capabilities and roles of these backward elements, and don't reform them just for the sake of reform."

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile

"The president is kindhearted. We both know that Qin Huairu is from the countryside and is good at farm work. Letting her teach Yi Zhonghai and the others how to reclaim wasteland and cultivate the land will also help the factory and contribute to society."

Zhang Renkang laughed

"If you have any ideas, just do it. But be careful about the way you work. You can't let people say that our patrol team is torturing people."

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng went out. These two people had bad intentions. Yan Jiecheng came to the factory and told Xu Damao that Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu had stopped Zhang Renkang in the morning. Xu Damao knew that his chance had come.

He has been coveting Qin Huairu for quite some time. Although that thing is no longer usable, Xu Damao still has his hands. More importantly, Xu Damao is psychologically twisted now. If Gao Jun wasn't pregnant and Xu's mother had taken her to her side to watch over her for safety, Xu Damao would have gone crazy and who knows how to torture Gao Jun.

After Xu Damao came out, he smiled grimly at Yan Jiecheng.

"Brother, now the chance has come, you must seize it. I went to find Zhang Renkang for you."

Yan Jiecheng said with a smile

"Brother Damao, how can I compete with you? You should go first."

Yan Jiecheng didn't have the guts to be the first to speak out. He was afraid that Qin Huairu would go all out and drag him down with her. What if this woman reported him? He couldn't lose the job he had worked so hard to get. What's more, he would risk going to jail or being shot.

Seeing Yan Jiecheng being so cowardly, Xu Damao said disdainfully

"What are you afraid of? Are you afraid that Qin Huairu will sue you? Will he put you in jail or shoot you?"

Yan Jiecheng smiled awkwardly and said

"I'm not afraid of Qin Huairu"

Xu Damao chuckled and said

"Qin Huairu doesn't dare. What's her current situation? Don't you think that if she dares to report you, what will happen to her? If you insist that she seduced you, then she is an adulterer or something? Who will take care of Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua then?"

"Qin Huairu doesn't have the guts to sue you. Besides, this is the woman Shazhu has been dreaming about, and he hasn't touched her yet. Hahaha, you'll win if I let you play with her first."

"Think about how Shazhu beat you and looked down on you."

Yan Jiecheng's eyes turned red from Xu Damao's provocation, especially when he thought of the irony and confusion in Sha Zhu's words. Yan Jiecheng gritted his teeth and said

"Okay, let's fuck her together and let Shazhu come out to drink our footbath water."

(Qin Huairu: If you hate Sha Zhu, go find Sha Zhu. I am Jia Dongxu’s wife, what does it have to do with me?)

Zhang Renkang in the office had no idea that these two guys were so bold as to set their sights on Qin Huairu. However, even if he knew it, he would not do anything. Anyway, these three were not good people. If they got together, they might be taken down together. It was a pity that Yan Jiecheng, the coward, was instigated to the point of killing himself.

Zhang Renkang was just in time when Tang Yan was telling him

"The office of the Ideological and Political Affairs Committee established outside the three major organizations is responsible for assisting the factory in connecting with various departments... Then the structure of the patrol team will be established this month. You will be responsible for following up on the progress of Song Gang and Lu Yong. At the end of the month, send it to the Security Department to ask Director Chen to arrange training. The Security Department will also send people to join the patrol team."

"Please communicate with Liu Xuan about the May Day celebrations, and follow up with Section Chief Li Chunhua on the connection with the textile factory. If there are any problems, please notify me at any time."

"Don't forget to find some time to ask the Finance Department for funding for the list I gave you last time, and have Chen Wei drive you to buy it. Bring it with you next time you go to Miyun. Remember to remind me to find some time next month to discuss the matter of teaching in the countryside at Red Star Primary School."

……

Zhang Renkang explained the precautions and reminded Tang Yan to remember to remind him. After Tang Yan finished recording, Zhang Renkang rubbed his head and smiled.

"My brain has been in a mess recently. I will go to Miyun on the 20th to look for other cooperative communes. Remember to go to the Transportation Department in a few days and ask Chen Wei to arrange a jeep in good condition for me. I can drive there by myself then."

After Tang Yan marked it, Zhang Renkang asked her to go out and arrange work. After relieving her fatigue, she planned to take a nap. In the evening, she had to go to Lou Xiao'e to work hard. Although the flowers had already blossomed and borne fruit, she still had to seize every opportunity to fertilize and water them.

Besides, I have to go back early in the afternoon after a good sleep. Zhang Yushui will probably be back tomorrow, the weekend. This girl has said since February this year that she has many friends at school and will live on campus. She only comes back once every two weeks. However, Zhang Renkang thought about it and didn't object. If she wants to live on campus with Yu Haitang, then let her live on campus. The family doesn't need the twenty or thirty yuan for food and accommodation that Zhang Yushui and Yu Haitang spent.

Zhang Yushui is living a good life now. She used to not be able to get enough cornmeal, but since she started living with Zhang Renkang, she either eats steamed buns or dumplings every day. Zhang Renkang also finds ways to stew chicken and pork ribs for her. After three or four months of eating, she has gained weight all over her body, and the two small buds on her chest have become fuller. It may be a genetic problem. The size is not as round as Yu Haitang's.

Zhang Renkang took Yu Li back to the courtyard before 3 o'clock in the afternoon. The security guard at the gate took the big front door thrown by Zhang Renkang and opened it for him. Everyone in the factory knew what the relationship was between Zhang Renkang and Chen Gang from the security department. The young man from the security department was very perceptive and dared not embarrass him.

The two men returned to the courtyard and, as expected, saw Yan Bugui watering the flowers. Zhang Renkang has always admired Yan Bugui, a senior in the world of slacking off. He doesn't know if the principal of their school is blind. Couldn't he see that Yan Bugui, a living person, escaped from his post and slipped away in the afternoon?

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Second uncle, have you sneaked back home again? Your principal doesn't look very useful."

Yan Bugui said with a smile

"You kid only know how to tease your uncle. I don't have classes this afternoon. Besides, the principal doesn't often go to the teacher's office, so how could he notice me?"

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"Didn't your guard tell you?"

Yan Bugui said mysteriously

"Your uncle has his own way."

Zhang Renkang probably didn't know that he usually gave Yan Bugui less cigarettes from Daqianmen, and most of them were exchanged with others for other things. In addition, he gave three or five cigarettes to the old security guard every month. The happy old security guard also turned a blind eye to Yan Bugui escaping from his post to go fishing.

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Then please take good care of yourself, I will go back now."

Yan Bugui looked at the bags hanging on Zhang Renkang's handlebars and smiled.

"Renkang, what did you buy?"

He sniffed and said

"Star anise, peppercorns, and dried chilies?"

"Would you like to stew chicken or pork ribs tonight?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Second uncle, I admire you for your sensitive nose. Yu Shui is back today, and we bought some seasonings from the supply and marketing cooperative. I will go to the market to buy a chicken to stew for her."

Yan Bugui looked at Zhang Renkang enviously and said

"I think Yu Shui is really enjoying herself by following you. Before, that guy Sha Zhu never cared about her life or death."

"Hey, Renkang, is your family short of people? How about finding a brother or sister?"

Zhang Renkang laughed

"Uncle, look at what you are saying. There are so many people in my family. Lily is about to give birth. We really have to be careful at home."

Yan Bugui nodded and said

"That's right. If you don't have enough food and clothes, you won't be poor if you don't plan ahead. You will understand when you have more children. Firewood, salt, oil, rice and other foods all cost money."

"But based on your salary and Yu Li's salary, you don't have to worry about this."

Zhang Renkang said with a smile

"You always only see my high salary, but don't know that I have a lot of expenses. I have to take care of everyone in the factory, and I have to deal with so many favors. Just say that I paid for my meal at my own expense. Otherwise, not many leaders in the factory would agree so readily."

Yan Bugui didn't know whether what he said was true or not, so he just nodded and said

"Renkang, I'm sorry to bother you. When your brother Jie Cheng gets his salary, let him treat you to a drink."

Zhang Renkang smiled and joked with Yan Bugui before sending Yu Li home. He had to pretend to go to the market to get the chicken.
