Siheyuan: Enemy spies are captured every time

Sha Zhu was detained by the Security Department for three days and then released.

The specific handling result still needs to be determined based on comprehensive opinions. Now, he is still a worker in the steel rolling mill. However, after being released, Sha Zhu seems to have lost his mind.

He even ignored people in the compound who greeted him. He got up early every morning to clean the toilets in the factory, then went to the canteen to help out. In the afternoon, he continued to clean toilets before going to the Security Department to study.

After get off work, I go straight back to my room and ignore everyone.

One day, Hua Chengyu came home from get off work and the first, second and third uncles all blocked him in the front yard.

"Hey, uncles, what are you doing?" Hua Chengyu was a little confused about what the three uncles were trying to do.

"Director Hua, you've seen it too. Sha Zhu hasn't said a word since he came home these past few days. He even ignored his sister Qin when she greeted him. We're afraid Sha Zhu will be depressed, so we have to find a way to help him." Liu Haizhong spoke first.

"Yes, Director Hua, Sha Zhu is still a child. What if he can't get over it... As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. I think Sha Zhu is in trouble. As neighbors, we should help him if we can." Yi Zhonghai also advised earnestly: "Sha Zhu doesn't have any bad intentions. He is just a little straightforward and impulsive. There are some misunderstandings between him and you. Isn't it okay to talk it out?"

"Yes, Director, we feel bad seeing Sha Zhu doing this." Yan Laokou said.

They talked left and right, not giving Hua Chengyu and Xu Damao any chance to speak.

"What's going on, uncles? If you want me to help you, you have to let me know what's going on, right?" Hua Cheng said to the three uncles.

"It's because Sha Zhu bumped into the leader in the examination room and damaged public property. Plus he made a mistake in the first place. We heard that the factory is going to fire Sha Zhu, so we ask Director Hua to help plead for him." Yi Zhonghai said with a bow.

Fire Shazhu?

How could he not know that Sha Zhu was an employee in a canteen and he was the section chief in charge of the organization of cadres for the entire factory. If the higher-ups wanted to fire Sha Zhu they would definitely ask for his opinion, but he hadn't heard about it.

Didn’t Yang Weimin and Li Huaide both rely on Sha Zhu’s craftsmanship to please their superiors?

How could it be worth firing?

"Director Hua, there's been talk in the factory these days that Sha Zhu is going to be fired. Please help and say a few good words for him!" Yi Zhonghai begged.

"Well, the matter concerning He Yuzhu is of an extremely bad nature and has a very bad impact, but considering that we all live in the same compound, I will do my best to plead for Sha Zhu!" Hua Chengyu nodded.

He knew that Sha Zhu could not be fired.

But what if? He didn't mind stepping on it, but everyone had to save face.

"On behalf of Sha Zhu and our courtyard, I would like to thank the director. You are a magnanimous and upright person. You are a role model for all the residents of our courtyard. So, I will treat everyone to a banquet in a few days. Director Hua, please come and join us. I will reserve a seat for you." Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Hua Chengyu agreed.

This time, even Director Yang scolded Sha Zhu harshly and threatened to fire him.

After all, the impact is too great.

With Hua Chengyu's help and the appearance of the deaf old lady, Director Yang should give her some face.

"You're welcome, gentlemen. We'll go back to the house if we have nothing else to do." Hua Chengyu said politely, "By the way, Mr. Yan, I see that you grow flowers very well. They are still growing well in this cold winter. You must have put a lot of effort into it."

"Director Hua likes it?" A hint of joy flashed in Yan Laokou's eyes.

He really put a lot of thought into his roses. These roses bloom in spring, summer and autumn. The winters in the city are very cold. If he wants them to bloom in the spring, he has to keep warm and ventilate the winter.

He takes care of these more than ten pots of roses more attentively than his wife does during her confinement. After the spring, one pot can be sold for about 30 yuan.

"I passed by the pigeon market a few days ago and saw a pot exactly the same as the one in your courtyard. It was selling for 20 yuan. Teacher Yan, if you sell all these dozen pots, won't you become rich?" Hua Chengyu said with a smile.

Yan Laokou’s face turned pale.

The pot in the pigeon market was the one he sold.

Why did Director Hua go to the pigeon market for no reason? No, that's not right. He was trying to cheat me. He went far away when he was selling pigeons, not to the one in the alley.

Thinking of this, Yan Laokou relaxed again: "Director Hua, you are joking. I grow roses to cultivate my sentiments. You know, I am a teacher. I have to teach and educate people. How can I do those speculative things?"

"I wonder what Teacher Yan teaches?"

"Chinese, elementary school Chinese." Yan Laokou secretly wiped the cold sweat off his forehead. It seemed that he had to be more careful in the future.

The pigeon market is a black market. Buying and selling things on the black market is a crime of speculation, a crime that will result in fines. What a huge grudge! Does Director Hua want to harm himself like this?

"Chinese, Teacher Yan is so calculating, it's a waste of his talent to teach Chinese, he should teach arithmetic." Hua Chengyu retorted.

"Director Hua is joking..." Yan Laokou said embarrassedly.

"Yeah, I was just joking, Mr. Yan, don't take it too seriously!" Hua Chengyu said cheerfully; "Baihua Hutong, Xicheng District, I wonder if Mr. Yan still remembers it?"

"Ah......" Yan Bugui took a few steps back and sat on the ground with a thud.

Baihua Hutong in Xicheng District is where he sells roses. The main reason he goes there is because there is the largest pigeon market in the city.

Moreover, a few years ago, it was Lao Yi who took everyone to buy grain, and since then they established connections with that place.

In recent years, he would go to Baihua Hutong from time to time to buy some things. Although it was a bit expensive, it was safe. He heard that the boss there was a descendant of the late Qing Dynasty.

They have great power. As long as you have money, they dare to sell anything.

His roses are also very popular with some people, but they are only traded in the market and never outside the market. How did the flower director know this?

In fact, it was just a coincidence. People like the third uncle only dared to go out early and come back late after each transaction. He would not dare to do it even in broad daylight.

Last week, he came back from Yuanmingyuan Vocational and Technical College quite late.

Seeing a figure in the dim light, he followed it. The figure happened to be Yan Bugui, who was secretly packing something to trade with someone.

He happened to see that it was a flower and bird shop.

But, everything is state-owned now. How could this flower and bird shop possibly accept things from Yan Laokou?

Moreover, Hua Chengyu made an unexpected discovery. The pigeon market in Baihua Hutong was actually a very large pigeon market. All of them were based on shops. On the surface, they were public-private partnerships, but secretly they were doing black market business.

Generally, this kind of market is not just a black market transaction, but more of a place for information exchange. This is what his father told him, and he must pay special attention to it after discovering the pigeon market.

Director Xiao has been very busy these days, and Hua Chengyu wants to tell him about his discovery in a few days.

He looked up and found something wrong. The first and second uncles just stayed where they were, with no intention of helping the third uncle. He immediately became alert.

It seems that the three uncles are all related to Baihua Hutong in Xicheng District?

But the first and second uncles are just ordinary people. Even if they want to go to the pigeon market, it is at the entrance of the alley. There is no need to run so far, right?

"Uncle, I was just joking with you. What's wrong with you? How could a pot of roses scare you like this?" Hua Chengyu pulled the uncle up with a smile.

"Hua...Director Hua, when did you see it?" Yan Bugui looked at Hua Chengyu in horror.

"Oh, it's been a while. Let me think, three weeks ago. Yes, it was the weekend after I came back from the ministry. I went to school to borrow books and saw it when I passed by Baihua Hutong. That pot of roses really looked like the ones you planted, Uncle." Hua Chengyu deliberately got the time wrong.

As long as I didn’t see it in person, Yan Bugui was almost scared to death.

With the help of Hua Chengyu, Yan Bugui slowly stood up: "Maybe Director Hua saw it wrong, the roses are all the same. I have all these roses in the yard for a while, but not a single pot is missing."

"Well, maybe I saw it wrong. Third Uncle is a people's teacher, he is supposed to teach and educate people, how could he do something speculative, right?" Hua Chengyu smiled and helped Yan Bugui pat the dirt off the ground.

"Of course, of course!" Yan Bugui laughed as if he was crying.

"Okay, Director Hua, we won't delay you from going home for dinner. Please take care of Sha Zhu's matter." Yi Zhonghai's face was not very good and he said perfunctorily.

"Okay, three uncles, I'll go back first. You should also go home early for dinner!" Hua Chengyu pushed the cart with Xu Damao to the central courtyard.

"Director, what has Sha Zhu done to you? It would be fine if you didn't take advantage of him, but why are you still speaking up for Sha Zhu?" Xu Damao said dissatisfiedly.

"You want to teach me how to do things?" Hua Chengyu suddenly turned around and looked at Xu Damao coldly. Xu Damao dared to open a dyeing workshop if he was given the slightest favor.

"This.....that's not what I meant, Brother Hua, no, Director, what I meant..." Xu Damao stuttered and couldn't finish his words.

"Brother Damao, has the factory given any comment regarding the outcome of the treatment of Sha Zhu? Did you spread the news that Sha Zhu was going to be fired?" Hua Chengyu's tone became better, but still very cold.

"Yes... yes, I spread it. Director... Director, did I borrow it?" Xu Damao said stutteringly.

"I didn't do anything wrong, it's just that my method was a bit stupid, and why didn't you report it to me in advance?" This kind of rumor cannot withstand investigation, and once it is investigated, it will be proven to be true.

This Xu Damao does his job too roughly.

There is absolutely no technical content at all, and it might even cause trouble for the Organization and Cadre Department.

"What should we do then?" Xu Damao asked in confusion.

"Let's go back to the house and talk!" When they were almost at the main courtyard, Hua Chengyu and Xu Damao saw Qin Huairu bending over to wash clothes again, with the round part on her back sticking up high.

"Director Hua, Xu Damao, you are back?"

"Yes, sister-in-law Jia, she is washing clothes!" Xu Damao was in a good mood and replied happily because he felt that Hua Chengyu was not really angry.

"Yes, the child is growing up day by day, and he is also becoming more naughty. These clothes need to be changed every day." Qin Huairu said.

"Where are Banggeng, Xiaodang and Huaihua?" Hua Chengyu asked.

"Oh, their grandmother took them to the entrance of the alley to play. Didn't you meet them when you came back?" Qin Huairu answered without turning her head.

"I didn't see it, Banggeng's mother, you go ahead and do your work, I'll go back to the house first." Hua Chengyu pushed the cart inside.

"Okay, Director Hua...ah..." Qin Huairu suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong?" Qin Huairu's scream startled him. He turned his head quickly and saw Qin Huairu looking at Xu Damao with a red face.

His face showed embarrassment, shame, and excitement, but no anger.

"Xu...Xu Damao, you...you bullied me." Qin Huairu said stutteringly.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, how did I bully you? Don't talk nonsense. I just slipped and happened to bump into someone." Xu Damao pushed the cart and immediately distanced himself from Qin Huairu.

"You, you are the one who bullies me..." Qin Huairu's voice didn't sound like a blame, but more like a coquettish tone. If Hua Chengyu didn't look at the person in the voice, he wouldn't be able to control himself.

But as soon as he saw the person, Hua Chengyu lost interest.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, in front of Director Hua, you said I bullied you, where did I bully you, tell me?"
