Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

Zhang Renkang went back and said hello to Liu Qiang before going back. Passing by the door, he joked with Old Man Zhao for a few more words, and walked towards the courtyard with the cart. After entering the alley and looking around to see if there was anyone around, he took out a two-pound piece of pork belly and a three- or four-pound piece of ribs from the space and hung them on the handlebars. This afternoon, when Yu Shui came back from school, Zhang Renkang planned to make a clear stew of ribs for Yu Shui to nourish her. In recent years, He Yu Shui had not eaten enough every day and had lost all his energy.

As soon as I pushed the cart into the hanging flower gate, I saw the women in the courtyard talking to Yan Jiecheng. The sun was still warm after lunch in winter, and everyone was chatting and killing time in the sun. When they saw Zhang Renkang coming back, Yan Jiecheng stood up and said with a smile:

"Brother Renkang, why are you back so late in the afternoon?"

Zhang Renkang took out a box of Daqianmen, poured out a cigarette and handed it to Yan Jiecheng, then lit one for himself. Yan Jiecheng looked at the Daqianmen in Zhang Renkang's hand with envy. This was a high-end product, 3.5 yuan a pack. The second uncle and Xu Damao smoked the "diligence and thrift" brand, 8 cents a pack. Only Zhang Renkang, who was in this situation, dared to smoke Daqianmen every day. Yan Bugui once calculated for Zhang Renkang. Not counting the cigarettes he smoked in the factory, Zhang Renkang would spend ten packs a month just on cigarettes distributed in the yard and on his own. This was 3.8 yuan, which was almost enough for one person in the Yan family.

Zhang Renkang blew out a smoke ring and said

"I went to the hospital to see Damao, and then went to the police station to see Shazhu."

Yan Jiecheng asked

"How is Xu Damao? Is he awake?"

Hearing this, the first aunt, the second aunt, Jia Zhang and several other older sisters from the courtyard came over. The third aunt had gone out to do some work and was not there. The second aunt asked anxiously,

"Renkang, what happened to Xu Damao?"

Zhang Renkang sighed and said

"He's awake, his head is wrapped up like a dumpling, but I think he can still speak clearly, so his brain should be fine."

Jia Zhang said anxiously

"Is Xu Damao a eunuch? Has he become extinct?"

Zhang Renkang felt sick just looking at this old woman. At this time, an old lady also asked

"Didn't Auntie say yesterday that Xu Damao's private parts were broken by a kick?"

Zhang Renkang nodded and said

"I don't know the details, but the doctor said it may affect fertility later on."

Jia Zhang was delighted when she heard this and exclaimed:

"I think so. This Xu Damao is a eunuch. The Xu family will be extinct in the future, just like Yi Zhonghai, hahahaha"

Before Jia Zhang could continue, the auntie shouted angrily:

"Jia Zhang, what are you talking about?"

Jia Zhang said arrogantly, with her hands on her waist

"Am I wrong? That's not what I meant."

The first aunt wanted to hit him immediately, but was stopped by the second aunt and Wang's wife. The second aunt said dissatisfiedly

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I'm here asking about Xu Damao's situation, why are you making trouble?"

The second aunt asked again

"Renkang, what about this silly Zhu?"

Zhang Renkang said

"I went to the police station to inform Sha Zhu about the incident. I saw that he looked weak inside and was not in good condition. The factory had already decided to notify him of the expulsion, so I went to tell him about it."

Yan Jiecheng said with emotion

"Now, one is lying in the hospital, and the other is going to shoot. What are these two people trying to do?"

Yan Jiecheng has learned a lot from Yan Bugui about calculations. He has to consider the pros and cons of everything. He is quite selfish. He has always looked down on Sha Zhu and Xu Damao for their daily quarrels. He thinks that things that have no benefit are just used as jokes. In addition, Sha Zhu has a bad reputation, so sometimes Sha Zhu kicks him and Yan Jiecheng dares not fight back.

Zhang Renkang smiled faintly.

"The government has the final say on how to deal with this. We ordinary people should just live our own lives. You guys continue. I'm going back now."

As he was about to push the cart back to the backyard, Jia Zhang had already seen the two pieces of meat on Zhang Renkang's handlebars. She had been craving for meat for a long time, and finally her greed overcame her fear of Zhang Renkang. She stopped him with a face full of fat and said

"Zhang Renkang, do you still have a conscience? You bought so much meat for yourself but didn't even share some with your neighbors? You just ate it all by yourself."

Zhang Renkang sneered and looked at the old woman and said

"Ms. Jia Zhang, do you feel like you're itching again after not being spanked for a few days?"

"Or do you think you want to go to the hospital and keep Xu Damao company?"

Jia Zhang was subconsciously shocked. Zhang Renkang, this bastard, really dared to do it. She thought that Sha Zhu was not in prison for beating someone. She didn't believe that Zhang Renkang dared to do it, otherwise she would have to put Zhang Renkang in prison as well.

"Zhang Renkang, you little bastard, you have no conscience. Our Jia family introduced you to a girl, but you didn't even say thank you."

"You little beast who has been killed thousands of times, this piece of meat is your tribute to me."

As she spoke, she reached out to grab the pork belly on Zhang Renkang's handlebars. As soon as Jia Zhang stretched out her hand, Zhang Renkang raised his leg and kicked Jia Zhang in the lower abdomen, sending her flying more than a meter. Jia Zhang rolled on the ground in pain, howling loudly.

Zhang Renkang said coldly

"You really don't know what you are, and you dare to rob people on the road?"

"Don't you know that just these few pounds of meat are enough to sentence you to several years of hard labor?"

Jia Zhang cried out in agony.

"Zhang Renkang, you little bastard who killed your parents, how dare you hit me?"

"I'm going to the police station to sue you and have you shot like Sha Zhu."

Zhang Renkang laughed and said

"Okay, go ahead and say you committed highway robbery. Let's see if you go in or I go in."

The second aunt looked at Jia Zhang who was wailing on the ground, swallowed her saliva and said

"Ms. Jia Zhang, you deserve it. We saw that you were the one who started the trouble."

Zhang Renkang didn't even look at them. He said hello to the second aunt and the others and pushed the cart into the backyard. Seeing Zhang Renkang gone, Yan Jiecheng and the other women dared to speak. They were scared by Zhang Renkang's behavior just now. Who knew that Zhang Renkang would just start fighting and didn't care at all?

Yan Jiecheng said

"This Zhang Renkang is really capable. He starts right away. Even though Sha Zhu just went in, he's not afraid of Jia Zhang suing him."

Wang's wife said disdainfully

"Didn't you hear? Jia Zhang stopped him first and tried to steal his meat."

He licked his lips and continued

"Those two pieces of meat cost seven or eight yuan. If Jia Zhang was accused of highway robbery, that would be enough to get him into trouble."

The second aunt glanced at Jia Zhang who was still rolling on the ground and laughed.

"Zhang Renkang is a reasonable man if you don't mess with him. Jia Zhangshi, why don't you take a look at your own family and see what kind of relationship she has with Zhang Renkang? She's still trying to get close to him."

Yan Jiecheng nodded and said

"Indeed, Zhang Renkang is quite reasonable. He even smokes cigarettes when they meet. This is Daqianmen."

The other families also nodded in agreement. They wondered if there was any conflict between Zhang Renkang and their family, and their men had smoked Zhang Renkang's cigarettes. They would not be stupid enough to offend a cadre. What would they do if their men were bullied in the factory?

Zhang Renkang went home and hung two pieces of meat in the kitchen. Then he lit the stove, put coal balls on it, and boiled a pot of hot water. He wore a coat and sat on the sofa with a book in his hand. It was still a little cold in the room. He had to wait until the stove burned for half an hour and started the heating pipes before he could start to heat up.

Zhang Renkang is not afraid of Jia Zhangshi suing him. It is true that Jia Zhangshi blocked his way and robbed him of his flesh. But who is the door of the police station in Nanluoguxiang facing? Although his father is not called Li Gang, the police station is all connected to his Zhang family. They are either his father's comrades-in-arms or his father's old squad leader. How can Jia Zhangshi sue her? Let's wait until the next life to let Old Jia shed blood and contribute to XX before we talk about it.

(This is true. Power is passed down from generation to generation. Look at what the ancestors who have names and surnames now do.)

In the afternoon, the loud speaker of the steel mill sounded. After Yang Weiguo and Li Huaide left the planning department in the morning, they urgently convened representatives of the factory committee of each department (a meeting with workers but not leaders) and held a general meeting. They unanimously agreed to expel Sha Zhu. In view of the fact that Xu Damao was a victim and what he did was not very moral, he would not be dealt with for the time being. The result of the handling would be discussed after his injury healed. They also approved the December safety month learning and education activities starting next week.

So the factory loudspeaker rang three times.

"Dear workers, please pay attention. Dear workers, please pay attention. Now I will report an important incident. He Yuzhu, the kitchen worker of our factory, has repeatedly beaten workers. He still did not repent after being punished. Recently, another vicious fight occurred. In view of the fact that the factory has criticized He Yuzhu many times without any better effect, after the unanimous approval of the factory committee meeting, our factory decided to expel He Yuzhu. I hope that all workers will take this as a warning... In addition, in order to strengthen safety awareness, our factory has decided to hold a one-month safety education month starting from next week. Please be informed of this."

……

……

After the loudspeaker broadcast, the whole factory knew about Sha Zhu's dismissal, and all the workshops and departments started talking about it.

In a workshop, Yi Zhonghai, who had just returned to work in the afternoon, was surrounded by several people and asked about his

Several old workers gathered at the edge of Yizhonghai and asked

"Old Yi, did that idiot Zhu in your hospital really beat Xu Damao to death?"

"Hey, you're wrong. Xu Damao was beaten to a cripple."

Guo Dapiezi, the director of the production workshop, also came in with great interest and asked

"That bastard Shazhu deserves it. Let him shake the spoon often."

Sha Zhu had previously beaten Guo Dapiaozi because he harassed Qin Huairu, and he also made the entire cafeteria shake the spoons for him, forcing Guo Dapiaozi to go to the second cafeteria far away to get food. He was the happiest to hear that Sha Zhu was fired.

Yi Zhonghai felt mixed emotions and said

"Shazhu just had a fight with Xu Damao, why is it so serious? I'll go find the factory manager later."

Someone said disdainfully

"I say, Lao Yi, what you said is too unreasonable, isn't it?"

"I heard that Xu Damao is still in the hospital? Is this called a fight?"

Someone laughed when he said this

"I heard that Xu Damao's penis was kicked to pieces by Sha Zhu. I'm afraid it won't be usable anymore."

Everyone burst into laughter. Someone asked Qin Huairu:

"Qin Huairu, who are you going to ask for the big white buns when Sha Zhu is gone?"

"Hahaha"

Qin Huairu relied on his good relationship with Sha Zhu to steal steamed buns from the kitchen. Everyone knew about this. Qin Huairu lost this way after Zhang Renkang became the director of the canteen. Everyone had been jealous for a long time. Now they should humiliate Qin Huairu.

Someone joked that

"Widow Qin is still using the big white steamed buns from the cafeteria, but her own can choke you to death, you bastard."

Qin Huairu was so angry that he shouted

"What nonsense are you talking about? I'm going to report you to the factory director for not working properly and molesting women."

After hearing that Qin Huairu was angry, everyone went back to work with laughter. Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said

"Huai Ru, why are you arguing with those bad guys? Just get to work."
