Siheyuan: I live next door to Xu Damao, my last name is Cao

There was nothing to do in Shazhu's kitchen, so he quickly came to workshop three.

He came to Yi Zhonghai's workstation and saw an old man with his head down, looking very sad.

"Uncle, what's going on? Why were you punished by the factory? They all said you were an enemy spy..."

When Sha Zhu came in, he heard people in the workshop talking about Yi Zhonghai.

As a little fan of Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu naturally glared at those people and even wanted to take action. However, Sha Zhu held back in the end. He came to Yi Zhonghai to find out what was going on, not to fight, so it was better for them to keep quiet.

Yi Zhonghai sighed. How could he have the nerve to tell Sha Zhu about this kind of thing? After all, his image in Sha Zhu's eyes was very glorious.

"Nothing serious, just a mistake at work."

Yi Zhonghai sighed again, and felt that he sighed more today than he had this year.

"Lao Yi, what's wrong with you? Why were you singled out for criticism and punished so severely? How about I go to the leader and ask for mercy for you?"

Liu Haizhong saw Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai talking from a distance, so he hurried over to start a conversation.

Yi Zhonghai frowned. He knew that this old guy Liu Haizhong had no good intentions and might just come here to watch his show.

Yi Zhonghai knew all about Liu Haizhong's little tricks. He knew what Liu Haizhong said and even went to the leader to plead for him, but the leader never paid any attention to him. He had been an official for so many years and had been hanging around the leader all day long, but it was all for nothing. Now he couldn't even become a team leader.

"No need, uncle. The leader has already issued a notice. Even if you go, the leader won't buy it." Yi Zhonghai refused with a smile.

Liu Haizhong cursed inwardly. Even though Yi Zhonghai was in such a state, he still looked down on him. Now Yi Zhonghai's reputation in the workshop was already ruined. After returning home, he had to tell this matter in the yard.

"In that case, since you have nothing to do, I'll leave first."

Liu Haizhong was preparing to leave with her big belly.

Then he saw Shazhu next to him and said, "Shazhu, sometimes you have to be more careful and don't follow those questionable people. If I hadn't separated you and Xu Damao last time, you would have had another quarrel. You have to be more careful next time."

"Second uncle, what are you talking about in such a weird way?"

Sha Zhu said with some dissatisfaction that Liu Haizhong seemed to be hinting at something.

Liu Haizhong coughed twice and left happily.

Yi Zhonghai became even darker.

He could tell that Liu Haizhong was mocking him.

"Uncle, how did Cao Wei become the deputy director?"

Shazhu was very confused. It was just repairing a machine, so the improvement shouldn't be so great.

"Don't talk about this, Zhuzi."

Yi Zhonghai didn't want to talk about this anymore, because it made him very upset, and the more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt.

Yi Zhonghai now feels that nothing is going his way. After Liu Haizhong mocks him and leaves, Yi Zhonghai chokes on his breathing.

Why didn’t you check the almanac before going out today?

Yi Zhonghai sighed again in his heart.

"alright."

The bell for the end of get off work rang, and Sha Zhu prepared to go home with Yi Zhonghai.

But he didn't expect that as soon as Sha Zhu walked to the door of the workshop, his apprentice Ma Hua came to call him.

"Master, Master, the factory director said he won't let you leave. He wants to invite some leaders to dinner tonight and ask you to cook."

Ma Hua said breathlessly.

After he received the message, he rushed over and fortunately made it in time.

Sha Zhu looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Well, I can't leave now, uncle. I have to go and get busy first."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hand: "Okay, you go ahead and do your work, I'm fine."

Sha Zhu went back to the kitchen with Ma Hua.

Yi Zhonghai sighed again. For some reason, his right eyelid kept twitching, as if he had a bad premonition.

But I'm already so unlucky today, what else could go wrong?

Yi Zhonghai shook his head and walked out of the steel mill.

What he didn't notice was that there were a few sneaky people following him.

Soon, Yi Zhonghai came to a small path. As he was walking, he was kicked down. Then a sack-like thing was put on his head. Yi Zhonghai's view suddenly became dark.

Yi Zhonghai heard footsteps and didn't know what was going on, so he struggled hard.

"Who are you and what do you want to do? You are breaking the law, you know that? Ah... stop hitting me... stop hitting me."

The people outside seemed to have planned it premeditatedly. They didn't say anything, nor did they answer Yi Zhonghai's questions. They just punched and kicked Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't break free, so he could only curl up his body and avoid some vital parts.

Of course, it seemed that these people did not want to kill Yi Zhonghai specifically, they just wanted to beat him up, so they hit places with more flesh, which would cause less damage, but where they could clearly feel the pain.

Feeling that the fight was almost over, a few people looked at each other and ran away.

Only after Yi Zhonghai heard no sound did he dare to carefully take off his hood and look around. It was not because he felt guilty, but because he was afraid.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know who were the people who had beaten him just now. He was afraid that after he saw those people's faces, they would do something to silence him and would not let him go.

"Hey, it hurts."

Yi Zhonghai touched his chest and saw many messy footprints on his clothes. These bastards were really ruthless.

Not only his body, but his face was also bruised and swollen, with blood dripping from his nose. There was not a single healthy spot on his body.

After struggling to get up from the ground, Yi Zhonghai limped home.

On the way home, Yi Zhonghai kept wondering who had done this. When the other party was beating Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai grabbed their legs. One of them was very fat.

Those people beat me, but didn't kill me, nor did they turn against me. It was obvious that they were not here for money, but to take revenge on me?

I haven't offended any fat person, so who could it be?

Could it be someone in my workshop?

There are a few fat people in the workshop, but Yi Zhonghai has never offended them, so who could it be?

Yi Zhonghai thought for a long time but couldn't figure out who he had offended, and who actually resorted to underhanded tricks to put himself in a sack.

Never mind, I can only go back and call the police.

Yi Zhonghai didn't know that those who beat him were indeed from Workshop 3, but they beat Yi Zhonghai not because they had any grudge against him. On the contrary, they had no relationship with him at all.

The reason why they attacked Yi Zhonghai today was entirely because of what he did today, breaking the machine. Several people were angry young people. Yi Zhonghai deliberately destroyed the new machine in the workshop, which was to destroy the collective. Although the factory punished him, they also had their own set of punishment methods.

They wanted to make Yi Zhonghai feel the pain in his flesh. Yes, the pain of being beaten.

In the workshop, a few people discussed it and hit it off to form a Justice League.

After get off work, they followed Yi Zhonghai all the time, and when there was no one around, they put Yi Zhonghai in a sack and beat him up. They were very organized and disciplined during the beating. They didn't say a word the whole time, they just beat him and ran away after the beating.

......

......

This place is very close to the steel rolling mill, so Yi Zhonghai went straight back to the steel rolling mill and looked for someone from the security department at the door.

"Hello, comrade. I want to report a crime."

Yi Zhonghai limped to the entrance of the steel rolling mill.

At this time, people were still coming out of the factory one after another. When they saw Yi Zhonghai's appearance, they all looked at him sideways.

When the officer from the Security Department saw Yi Zhonghai, he was immediately shocked and called the police. What was going on? Did something unexpected happen?

"What's going on? Tell me."

"I just got off work and was walking home from the west of our factory. When I came to a small path, several people suddenly put a sack over my head and beat me. Look at the injuries on my body."

As he spoke, Yi Zhonghai pointed at his face and rolled up his sleeves to show the bruises on his arms to the security personnel.

"There is such a thing. This is too bad."

The comrades in the Security Department were very angry. Such a terrible thing happened within the jurisdiction of the steel rolling mill. It showed that they, the Security Department, were not taken seriously at all.

"What's your name? Where do you live? Which workshop do you work in? I'll make a note of it."

The comrade from the Security Department took out a notebook and said.

"My name is Yi Zhonghai. I live in No. 95, Nanluoguxiang. I'm a fitter in the third workshop."

Yi Zhonghai hesitated for a moment, but still cooperated and said his name.

"Yi Zhonghai, right? Tell me more about what happened."

Another member of the security department suddenly asked in surprise: "Your name is Yi Zhonghai, the Yi Zhonghai that was shouted on the loudspeaker today?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled awkwardly. Although he didn't want to admit it, he still said that it was indeed him.

The two members of the Security Department were quite well-mannered. They looked at each other and then understood what each other meant.

Afterwards, everything went through the normal process.

"Okay, we've got it down. Please tell me what happened."

Yi Zhonghai repeated it again.

"Is that so? Okay, we've got it all written down. Did you see the other person's face? What did it look like? Can you describe it?"

"I was covered in a sack and couldn't see clearly." Yi Zhonghai said, "But when they were beating me, I grabbed a man's leg. His calf was very fat. There must be a fat man."

"Didn't see clearly? Then it's hard to find. Fatty, there are so many fat guys. There are so many of them in our factory. We can't look for them one by one."

The security officer said so.

"Then we can't just not look for it."

"We have to find it. Leave this matter to us. Don't worry, we will give you an explanation."

The two officers from the Security Department patted their chests and said.

Yi Zhonghai was relieved: "Okay, that's too much trouble for you."

"It doesn't matter. This is also our duty."

After Yi Zhonghai left, he suddenly had a bad feeling.

But he just thought it was his illusion. This time he did not take the shortcut, but took a detour and took the main road home. There were still many people on the main road, so there was definitely no one who would attack him here.

"Brother Wang, do we really need to find someone for him?"

A young officer asked.

"Looking for someone? Looking for nothing."

The man called Brother Wang threw the notebook in his hand onto the table and spat.

"Where can we find him? We don't know what he looks like, nor do we know how many people beat him up. We just know there's a fat guy. We're not gods, so where can we find him?"

"Also, didn't you hear what Yi Zhonghai said on the radio? He was punished by the factory for sabotaging the machine. Maybe someone got beaten up. He asked for it. He deserves it. Why are you looking for trouble for him? It's useless for you to worry about it. We should just stand guard."

"Oh."

"Just now I actually saw a few people, leading a fat man, sneaking out of the door and heading in the direction Yi Zhonghai just walked."

The young man recalled it and actually remembered something.

"Alright, alright, just stay at your post. Yi Zhonghai didn't give you any money, so why do you care about him?"

Yi Zhonghai would never have thought that the people from the Security Department would not even bother to look for him.

Not to mention that he didn't know, even if he knew, there was nothing he could do now.

............

"Ma Hua, what kind of guests does the factory manager want to invite today? Are there any dietary restrictions?"

"The factory manager said that you can just do what you want, they don't have any dietary restrictions."

"The guest I invited seems to be the deputy director mentioned in the factory broadcast today, Cao Wei."

"Cao Wei..." Sha Zhu frowned, not knowing what he was thinking about.

"Okay, wash the vegetables, and then go to the back and kill a chicken for me." Sha Zhu instructed.

"Okay, Master, I'll go right away."

Sha Zhu didn't think of tampering with the cooking this time. After all, all the leaders of the factory were here. If he was found tampering, he would be in trouble.

Soon, Sha Zhu prepared the meal, including a chicken, a fish, two meat dishes, two vegetarian dishes, a cold dish, and two soups. These dishes were enough for eight people in total.

At the dinner table, Director Yang and Li Huaide had a great conversation with each other. Cao Wei occasionally interjected a few words, and the conversation was quite harmonious.

Seeing Sha Zhu bringing the dishes over, Director Yang happily introduced Sha Zhu to Cao Wei.

When Director Yang learned that Sha Zhu and Cao Wei were from the same courtyard, he patted his head in regret and said, "Look at me, I have a bad memory."

"Since we are all from the same courtyard, let's eat here together."

As they chatted, they talked about the last time Shazhu was punished for bringing food. Director Yang said to Shazhu earnestly, "Yuzhu, I didn't really want to punish you last time. It was mainly because the matter was too big. So many eyes in the factory were watching us. The report letter was placed on my and Director Li's desks. I had no choice."

Sha Zhu waved his hands: "Director, that's all in the past. I don't take it to heart."

Shazhu is not stupid enough to say in front of his leader that he will remember you.
