Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Yan Bugui was stopped at the first checkpoint on the main road outside the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. No matter what he said, the security comrades at the checkpoint refused to let him in.

At this time, the superior leader is still in the factory. Letting an irrelevant person in will only cause trouble to the factory.

No one would think of such a superficial truth.

Yan Bugui looked anxiously at the Red Star Steel Mill not far away, which looked like a prehistoric beast entrenched in the earth. The black smoke that kept coming out of the sky was like breathing again and again, spraying the unique breath of the industrial age.

After waiting for a long time, Yan Bugui waited until the Red Star Steel Mill's off-duty broadcast began playing. Shortly after "The East is Red", he saw the figures of Yi Zhonghai and Yan Jiefang among the crowd leaving.

Liu Haizhong and Liu Guangtian, father and son, didn't know why they didn't go with them today.

Seeing Yan Bugui, Yan Jiefang was a little surprised and ran over to ask

"Dad, why are you here?"

Yi Zhonghai had difficulty walking, so he slowed down a few steps and asked curiously:

"Old Yan, why are you here at the factory?"

Yan Bugui was a little hesitant. He didn't know what had happened to Yan Jiecheng, so he didn't dare to tell Yi Zhonghai. He smiled bitterly and found an excuse.

"I have something to ask Jiefang"

"Old Yi, you go back first."

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Yan Bugui. As they had been neighbors for many years, he had a good idea of ​​what kind of person Yan Bugui was. Seeing Yan Bugui's flustered expression and evasive eyes, he laughed in his heart.

Nodding and saying

"become"

"I won't bother you if you and your father are busy."

"I'll go back first"

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to care what Yan Bugui was going to do. The ups and downs in the past few years made him feel different now. He just wanted to live a good life with Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu. He just wanted to watch the fun of these people and things in the courtyard.

Yan Bugui didn't say anything, and he didn't want to ask more.

Yan Bugui saw Yi Zhonghai leaving and asked anxiously

"Liberation, have you seen your brother?"

Yan Jiefang shook his head and explained

"My brother usually waits for us at the door in advance."

“I didn’t see it today”

Yan Bugui asked anxiously

"Why don't you just leave without waiting for your brother?"

Yan Jiefang was a little puzzled as to what was going on with Yan Bugui today, so he explained.

"My brother said before that he wouldn't be at the door after get off work, so I could go home by myself without waiting for him."

"Their patrol team often has temporary tasks to patrol, you know that."

"What's wrong, Dad? Are you in such a hurry to find my brother for something?"

Yan Bugui took Yan Jiecheng to the side and said in a low voice

"Jie Cheng, listen to me"

"Go back and quietly ask the patrol team and the security department to see if your brother is there."

“Remember this, no matter what happens.”

"Come back and tell me"

Yan Jiefang was a little confused and said in a low voice

"What's wrong, Dad? What happened to my brother?"

"What am I going to ask?"

Yan Bugui was a little anxious and said angrily

"Why are you so talkative, kid?"

"Just go find it if I tell you to."

"Go quickly and see where your brother is and what he is doing. Come back and tell me."

Yan Jiecheng looked at Song Jie nervously and said in a low voice

"Brother Song, this is the situation."

"Zhao Na agreed to cooperate with us in acting"

Song Jie glanced at Yan Jiecheng, sat quietly on the chair and wrote something, then said

"Don't you know the rules of addressing people by their job titles when working?"

Yan Jiecheng's face turned awkward. He was annoyed but didn't dare to show it. He nodded and said

“Yes—yes.”

"Chief Song, please tell me what to do next."

Song Jie threw the pen on the table, then looked at Yan Jiecheng and said with a hum

“I just can’t figure it out.”

"Yan Jiecheng"

"Your father is such a calculating person, you shouldn't be that stupid, right?"

"How dare you do such a thing?"

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head and said in a low voice

"Chief, I, I am bewildered by a ghost."

"I know I was wrong"

“I will never do that again.”

"Please forgive me this time for the sake of our being from the same hospital."

Song Jie looked at Yan Jiecheng with disdain, and then asked

"How much money did Sun Ermin give you?"

"Yan Jiecheng, you'd better use your brain. If Sun Ermin tells you differently, hmph..."

Yan Jiecheng hurriedly explained

"Chief, what I said is true."

"Sun Ermin gave me money three times, one hundred and twenty yuan and another eighty-five yuan."

"Also, you gave me ninety-four dollars a few days ago."

"I really didn't participate. I just told him the time for patrols inside and outside the factory, and then I covered for him during my shift, but I didn't go on patrol there."

“I didn’t really participate in their actions.”

Song Jie was too lazy to ask him any more questions and just said

"I'll give you one hour to go back and hand over the stolen money you received."

"After the superior leaves, go to the Security Department and tell Zhao Na to kill these people who stole the materials from the warehouse that you found."

Song Jie handed him a piece of paper, on which were written the names of the people that the patrol team had just asked Song Gang to arrest and the people at the scrap yard who were selling goods that Lu Yong had arrested.

"Memorize the names and situations written on this piece of paper here."

"Go and get my money back now"

After saying that, Song Jie didn't even look at him, and went straight out to the interrogation room next to him. The people Song Gang had captured had not been interrogated yet, so he wanted to get confessions from Chen Gang and Deputy Director Liu before they finished accompanying the leader on the inspection, in order to prove that their patrol team was not just there to eat and do nothing.

The yard where Ermao and Sanmao returned first

Seeing that the lock on the door was gone, and the yard was chained

Ermao protected Sanmao behind him and walked carefully into the yard and towards the house.

Although he could guess that it might be Zhang's father, Ermao still did not dare to let his guard down until he saw the cakes on the eight-immortal table in the room, and then he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then I saw Zhang Renkang sleeping on his mother's bed.

Whispered to Sanmao

"Go do your homework first"

Ermao covered Zhang Renkang with a blanket, then led him through the main room and went to the wing room.

Ermao, who is sixteen this year, doesn't know what he thinks of the relationship between Zhang Renkang and his mother. He remembers what Liang Ladi told him before.

"Your father Zhang has other children"

"But he is good to mom, and he is also good to you."

"Ermao, you are grown up now"

"Mom wants you to remember one thing. Without your father Zhang, would you three brothers and your sister be able to eat enough and go to school?"

"Do we have such a big yard and house to live in now?"

"Your brother is now a squad leader in the army. He will definitely have a bright future."

"As for you, you are a good student. Your father Zhang also said that he would let you go to school and take the entrance exam for a technical secondary school so that you can become a cadre leader in the future."

"The future of Sanmao will depend on his ears"

"Mom doesn't have any special abilities. It's your father Zhang who has planned your future."

"No matter what you think, you must remember the kindness of Father Zhang, understand?"

Ermao didn't know what his mother was thinking. Now he was no longer a child, so he certainly understood what the relationship between Zhang Renkang and his family was.

My mother is his mistress. According to what we teach in school, isn't this a slut? But what my mother said is not wrong. The good life my family has today is not all given by Zhang's father.

In fact, Damao had already had this kind of trouble a few years ago. He couldn't face his inner confusion. No matter who knew that his mother was just someone else's mistress, he could face it calmly, especially if the man was not his biological father, even if the man was very good to him and his mother.

After all, this is a civilized era, not the end of the Han Dynasty a thousand years ago.

So Damao's choice was to use Zhang Renkang's connections to go far away to join the army.

Out of sight out of mind

Facing his inner depression, Ermao could only hide in his room, as if he could avoid facing these troubles by hiding away.

(There are many kinds of people in the world, and each has their own troubles. How can we discuss right and wrong?)

So when Zhang Renkang woke up, the first thing he saw was Xiu'er rubbing her little head against his head.

She doesn't have as many thoughts as Da Mao and Er Mao, nor does she have San Mao's natural lack of closeness to another man.

Xiu'er had lived in poverty for several years since she was a child, and was taken care of by Zhang Renkang. He not only gave her new clothes but also any delicious food she wanted to eat. In addition, she was young and had no psychological burden.

So this girl was naturally attached to Zhang Renkang. When she and Liang Ladi came home from get off work and saw Zhang Renkang sleeping, they would run up to him and rub against him.

Zhang Renkang grabbed Xiu'er and put her on his chest and said with a smile

"Xiu'er went to work with her mother today?"

Xiuer nodded with her eyes wide open, and said seriously

"Dad, I went to kindergarten."

"My mother took me to see the kindergarten."

Zhang Renkang laughed and pinched Xiu'er's chubby smiling face.

"Do you like going to kindergarten?"

Xiuer nodded and said with a smile

"Where is the swing?"

“There are other children.”

Liang Ladi washed her hands and sat on the bed, explaining softly:

"The child is not young anymore. I want to send her to kindergarten for a few years."

"Otherwise, it wouldn't be a good idea to let her play by herself all the time."

Since Liang Ladi and her family moved to the small courtyard on Qianmen Street, they either encountered the most chaotic years or Liang Ladi went to work. The family either locked Sanmao and Xiuer in the courtyard, or Liang Ladi took them to work.

After letting Sanmao go to Red Star Primary School this year, Xiu'er was worried about being alone at home. Liang Ladi took her to work and didn't have much time to take care of her, so she planned to find a kindergarten for her so that she could pick her up after get off work.

Zhang Renkang nodded and said with a smile

"Isn't there a nursery in the Red Star Factory? Has it expanded its enrollment now?"

"It would be more convenient for you to pick up the children."

Liang Ladi rolled up the quilt, nodded and said with a smile

"Stay tonight or go back?"

"I'm going to cook."

Zhang Renkang laughed, then hugged Liang Ladi and said

"Do you want me to stay or not?"

Liang Ladi rolled her eyes at Zhang Renkang, snorted and said

"me"

"Listen to you"

Smiling, he opened Zhang Renkang's arms and went to the side room to call Ermao and Sanmao to help clean up and cook.

Don't say that some women are born with good taste. Liang Ladi has been working in the logistics warehouse for a long time, and she doesn't have to worry about it. Not only has her figure become more plump and attractive, but her skin has also become much whiter.

If she hadn't brought several children with her, no one would have believed that she had given birth to four babies.
