Siheyuan (traditional courtyard house): 52 years of farming, producing hundreds of millions of tons

Officer Song couldn't stand it anymore and kicked the door open.

Yi Zhonghai and his two companions were taken aback. Upon seeing that it was Officer Song, they immediately understood that Officer Song must have overheard their conversation.

The three of them looked paler than the last!

Yan Fugui was the most timid; his legs trembled so badly that his pants rattled loudly.

"The neighborhood committee appointed you three as 'managers' to mediate neighborhood disputes, not to act like local tyrants!"

"I think all three of you should quit!"

"With the three of you here, the courtyard house..."

Officer Song's voice was very loud.

Cough!

Someone coughed twice from behind.

An older woman helped a deaf old lady in.

An older woman went to the restroom and when she came back, she saw Officer Song kick the door open and start yelling at Yi Zhonghai and the other two.

She immediately realized something was wrong; she needed to ask the deaf old lady for help.

"Grandma, is there something you need?"

Secretary Song had a headache.

The deaf old lady was no ordinary person; even Director Wang had to compromise with her. He had no confidence whatsoever when facing her.

"Officer Song, you're right to criticize them. All three of them are at fault; they've gotten a bit arrogant!"

"Why aren't you three apologizing to Secretary Song right now?"

The deaf old lady took the initiative from the start.

“Officer Song, I was wrong. I am deeply aware of my mistake and I will definitely correct it in the future and serve the neighbors in the courtyard.”

Yi Zhonghai was the first to react.

Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui also realized what was happening one after another.

"Officer Song, those three have done a lot of practical things for the courtyard house. Even if they haven't made any great contributions, they've certainly put in a lot of hard work!"

"Their original intention was all for the good of the courtyard house; no family wants to air their dirty laundry in public."

"They've realized their mistake, so could you forgive them?"

"Give them another chance!"

The deaf old lady stared at Officer Song.

Secretary Song didn't want to give her face; the deaf old lady made him very uncomfortable.

But if even Director Wang is wary of someone, would he dare to disrespect him?

“Officer Song, the deaf old lady is right. We can give the three of them a chance.”

"However, when someone does something wrong, is there anyone who goes unpunished?"

"When I came back, I saw that the public toilet was full and the sanitation workers had to empty it. I suggested that they be punished by having the three of them take over the sanitation workers' duties and empty the toilet once!"

Wan Ping'an entered Yi Zhonghai's home.

There were quite a few people who had followed him to watch the spectacle.

Officer Song's eyes lit up.

good idea!

He didn't want to let Yi Zhonghai and the other two go, but faced with the pressure from the deaf old lady, he had no choice but to let them go. He was unwilling and very uncomfortable!

Wan Ping'an's suggestion was so timely!

Officer Song couldn't wait to see the three men shoveling manure!

He felt even more favorably toward Wan Ping'an!

"Grandma, I'm punishing these three by making them clean up the night soil once. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Officer Song stared at the deaf old lady.

He gave face by stopping the deaf old lady from dismissing the three old men. If he were to stop her from punishing Yi Zhonghai and the other two, he would be being unreasonable!

The deaf old woman nodded and gave Wan Ping'an a cold look.

Wan Ping'an gave her a bright smile, saying, "Even if you hate me, what can you do to me?"

"You have five minutes to go home, change your clothes, and then assemble at the public restroom!"

Officer Song walked outside.

Wan Ping'an went out with them.

"An old man is going to clean the toilet."

"Second Uncle is going to use the toilet too."

"And there's also the Third Uncle, who also cleans the toilets."

Wan Ping'an called over a group of children and told them to spread the word. He said that when they came back in the evening, he would give each of them a tomato.

The children were ecstatic.

He shouted wildly into the yard, and after he finished shouting in the yard, he went to shout in the neighboring yard.

When Yi Zhonghai and his two companions arrived at the public restroom, they almost turned around and ran away. Why were there so many people?

There were two or three hundred people, a dark mass.

People from the courtyard houses, people from the neighboring courtyards, some they knew, but most they didn't, all gathered around the public toilet waiting for them.

Officer Song nodded slightly to Wan Ping'an.

here you go!

"You teach them how to scoop out the latrines. You don't need to work today; you're the supervisors. Let the three of them do the work, understand?"

Officer Song explained things clearly to the sanitation worker.

Yi Zhonghai and his two companions were three old men from a courtyard house. They had made a mistake, and as punishment, they were made to clean the latrines, and they were doing it for free.

The latrine cleaner certainly didn't mind; in fact, he was quite happy!

No work required, but still get paid!

"Brother, what happened?"

Two passersby saw that there were two or three hundred people gathered around the public toilet, so they didn't rush home and joined the crowd to watch the spectacle.

I didn't understand, so I asked the person next to me.

"Look at those three men, they are three old men from Hongxing Courtyard. They made a mistake, and the neighborhood committee punished them by making them clean up the latrines!"

A kind person explained it to him.

“I know them. Yi Zhonghai, an old man in the courtyard, was a level six fitter at the steel rolling mill. Later, he made a mistake and was demoted to level four.”

Everyone was talking.

The three old men from Hongxing Courtyard became famous.

Ah!

Yan Fugui let out a scream.

Of the three old men, only he was not a manual laborer and lacked strength. When he tried to scoop out the latrine, he lost his balance and fell into the latrine.

He reached out and grabbed randomly, and ended up grabbing Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai was pulled off balance and instinctively reached out and grabbed Liu Haizhong.

Three people in a row fell into a cesspool together!

moment.

Everyone fell silent.

The incident happened so suddenly that no one expected it and was caught off guard.

Immediately, a burst of excitement erupted!

Everyone thought it was worth the excitement!

"What are you doing standing still?"

"Why aren't you saving them yet?"

Officer Song urged the sanitation workers to hurry up.

The shovels they carried had long handles; once extended, Yi Zhonghai and the other two could pull them up.

Yi Zhonghai grabbed the latrine scoop, not caring about how dirty and smelly it was!

"Uncle, that's not right of you!"

"You're the eldest, the person of the highest status, how come you're the first one to come up?"
