People in the Siheyuan: I am a Buddhist who is in a mess

"Is Mrs. Wu okay?" Zhang Bing asked at last.

Lin Yi didn't react for a while, then he remembered that Zhang Bing was asking about the deaf old lady. The old lady's original surname was Wu. She just liked to pretend to be deaf, so people in the courtyard called her the deaf old lady. Later, the name gradually spread, but no one remembered the old lady's surname. Just like He Yuzhu, people in the courtyard and the factory all called him Shazhu. If you call him He Yuzhu, they won't react for a while.

"Grandma is fine and in good health." Lin Yi answered truthfully.

Last month, he took the old lady to the Union Hospital for a physical examination. She had no other problems, including high blood pressure and diabetes. She was just a little malnourished and had rheumatoid arthritis in her legs. But it was no wonder. The old lady had always lived a frugal life. Although Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu also sent her some delicious food and took care of her, it was impossible for the old lady to have the same or better meals as them. There are few elderly people of this age who are not malnourished.

As for rheumatoid arthritis, the doctor did not prescribe any medicine, but asked to prepare hot compress. Lin Yi also prepared this and asked Aunt Liu Mei to learn it. It cannot be cured, but it can only be controlled and improved slowly.

"Uncle Zhang, do you know the old lady?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"It's no secret that her son and I were comrades-in-arms. Unfortunately, her son died on the eve of victory. The old lady usually doesn't like to see us. She says that when she sees us, she thinks of her dead son and husband and feels sad." Zhang Bing also sighed. For the sake of this country, one young man after another has fallen on the road to progress.

"Uncle Zhang, don't worry, I will take care of the old lady as if she were my own grandmother." Lin Yi made the promise. He was already taking care of the old lady as if she were his own grandmother.

"Well, you should be more careful. Let me tell you the truth. The old lady was also the leader of our Director Yang back then. But that was when she just joined the army. To be honest, the old lady knows a lot of big leaders..." Zhang Bing gave Lin Yi some advice when Lin Yi was about to go out.

Lin Yi didn't expect that the old lady had such a hidden relationship. No wonder in the plot, He Yuzhu was beaten to death by Xu Damao and Director Li, but the old lady was able to rescue He Yuzhu. Now that I think about it, He Yuzhu was appreciated by the big leader at the beginning. There were reasons for He Yuzhu himself, and there should also be reasons for the old lady. It is probably because of the incense.

Zhang Bing also had good intentions. He knew that Lin Yi was a family member of a military martyr, but his situation was different from that of the old lady. To put it bluntly, if a person is still alive, this face is greater than that of a dead person. An old person in this family is like a treasure. This is also one of the reasons.

Lin Yi took the pimp and went to the gun room and armory of the Security Department. The armory was guarded by two security officers. After looking at Lin Yi's approval note and work permit, they stamped a gun license.

A Type 54 and two magazines.

"Team Leader Lin, this is your service gun. Take a look at it. If it is suitable, I will write the number on the gun license." said an officer.

Lin Yi, who came from the future, naturally had never touched a gun, but he had obviously touched a gun in this life. The memory of it was all there in his body. He picked up the Type 54 rifle skillfully, pulled the bolt and the safety, then ejected the bullet and reloaded the magazine. It was very smooth. It was obvious that the people in the armory also regularly maintained the weapons in the warehouse.

These days, with internal and external troubles, the surrounding borders have actually never been peaceful, plus there is daily propaganda in newspapers and on the radio, so the maintenance of these weapons has never been neglected at all. If one day they are to be used and something goes wrong, it would be a big deal and no one dares to take it lightly.

"This one is very good. This is the one I'll take. Thank you both for your help." Lin Yi said.

Then the gun license and the gun serial number were compared, and Lin Yi signed.

After doing all this, Lin Yi sent out two packs of Huazi. He prepared these specially. Since he entered the steel mill, he has prepared two kinds of cigarettes. One is Daqianmen, which is given to people he doesn't know well on weekdays, and the other is Huazi, which is given in more secret places.

After get off work, Lin Yi returned to the courtyard.

Because it was my first day at work, I had to be on duty at the guard room at night.

The work of the public security team is mainly divided into groups of four. They are on duty in the guard room at night. As long as someone comes to the guard room to report a case, they have to go out and deal with it.

Because many times, when factory workers quarrel or fight with each other, or with outsiders, the first thing they think of is not the street office, but the factory security department. Although this has the consciousness of a small group, it is indeed the perception of many people nowadays, and they stick together.

This is why the factory has set up a security team, just to deal with these trivial matters. The factory will step in and deal with both sides, whether it is a slap on the wrist or taking sides, anyway, it can be handled faster than the street office.

Of course, major incidents need to be reported, but the extent of the reporting depends on how strong the factory is and whether it can suppress the matter. If it is suppressed, the public security office will often not care.

The four people on duty today are Chen Erniu, Liu Jianjun, Dong Daming and An Zhenghai.

Of course, the so-called duty of the security team is to sleep in the big bunk bed behind the guard room. When something happens, the guard room will come to inform them. As for the security work in the factory, it has little to do with the security team and is not their responsibility.

"Lin Yi is back." It seems that the first person to say hello is always Uncle Yan Fugui.

"Teacher Yan, are you welcoming everyone again?" After living together for a long time, they became more familiar with each other, and Lin Yi was happy to tease them.

"Are they all serving the people?" Looking at Lin Yi in uniform, Yan Fugui was really jealous. He spent 400 yuan to get his son into the steel rolling mill, but up to now, he has only recovered 18 yuan. As for taking things home like Xu Damao, it is still impossible. He always felt that he was cheated by Xu Damao.

"Well, go ahead and get busy." Lin Yi replied and continued to push the cart into the yard.

After Lin Yi walked away, Yan Fugui sighed and said, "Reincarnation is also a science."

Perhaps because of the uniform he was wearing, many residents of the compound greeted Lin Yi today, and they were particularly enthusiastic. Even Jia Zhang, who usually avoided him, said at the door: "Lin Yi is back."

Lin Yi wasn't particularly enthusiastic either, he just nodded as a response.

"He doesn't know how to respect the elderly. When I greeted him, he didn't even say hello." Jia Zhang waited until Lin Yi entered the backyard before complaining to Qin Huairu.

This was because she heard that Lin Yi had become a leader in the steel rolling mill and thought that the relationship should be eased, so she took the initiative to greet him. However, Jia Zhang felt that she had lowered her status. In fact, Lin Yi had never cared about their Jia family at all.

Qin Huairu was pregnant and felt very tired. After coming back from the countryside, her mother-in-law had indeed become much more obedient, but it is difficult to change a person's nature. In private, she still scolded this and that, as if the world owed her something.

"Mom, please be more considerate of your words. Brother Lin Yi is now an official in the steel rolling mill. Maybe he will become a high-ranking official in the future." Qin Huairu said this with envy on his face. Unfortunately, he was too old. If he were a few years younger, he would definitely take the initiative to get into bed with Lin Yi, because he was a rich son-in-law.

"That's because God is blind, and that's why he let the villain succeed. If my old Jia were alive, he would definitely be the workshop director now. If Dongxu were alive, he would also be the workshop director in the future." Jia Zhang was still indignant.

Qin Huairu had never met her father-in-law, Old Jia, but how could she, as Jia Dongxu's partner, not know what kind of person he was? This man, who couldn't even get promoted to a third-level fitter, was still dreaming of becoming a workshop director. It was only because she was young at the time that she married him thanks to a few words from the matchmaker and Jia Dongxu's sweet talk.

Seeing Qin Huairu's disapproving expression, Jia Zhang wanted to teach Qin Huairu a lesson, but seeing Qin Huairu's belly, she knew that this was the Jia family's seed, the second grandson, so she held back and said, "I'll go cook for you."

Qin Huairu felt a little proud when she saw the frustrated Jia Zhangshi. She touched her growing belly and thought to herself: I hope it's a boy.

If a girl is born, whatever humiliation Jia Zhang suffers today, she will suffer double in the future.

When I entered the house, in addition to Yi Zhonghai and his wife, He Yuzhu and his wife were also there, and He Yuzhu was cooking.

Originally, He Yuzhu didn't want to come, but Yu Li asked him to come and cook. After all, Yu Li was pregnant with He Yuzhu's only child, and she was very precious to him.

"I'm covered in dust, let me go take a shower in the yard first." Lin Yi greeted, then took the key and went to take a shower in the yard at the back.

The house in the back yard has been roofed and covered with tiles. Master Yang and his team are doing the final work on the interior, mainly for ventilation and drying. This job cannot be rushed, otherwise they could have moved in a few days ago.

The running water in this courtyard had naturally been connected long ago. With the water pipes and privacy, Lin Yi had been washing in the courtyard recently.

Until now, no one in the courtyard knew that the three rooms in this small courtyard were all prepared for Lin Yi. Seeing that the house was being built day by day, those who needed a house all wondered if they could get one. Even if not, at least an exchange would be fine. Among them, even the Jia family was thinking about whether they could get a room.

Among them, the ones who moved the most frequently were Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong. They did have an urgent need. Yan Fugui was also thinking of finding a wife for his eldest son Yan Jiecheng. It would be hard to find a house without one. He originally thought of buying one. Recently, old Zhao was preparing to move away and go back to his hometown. He was too old to stay alone in the city, as Yan Fugui had said before. But now, Yan Fugui's money had been used to find a job for Yan Jiecheng, and he was coveting this house and wanted to get a new room in the small courtyard at the back. Therefore, he failed to reach an agreement with old Zhao and the talks broke down. In a fit of anger, old Zhao returned the house to the street office.

Liu Haizhong wanted his eldest son to live in the courtyard with his wife. He promised his daughter-in-law that when the new house was built, the street office would allocate a room for the couple. After this promise, his daughter-in-law agreed to live in the courtyard with his son when the house was built.

So, the two of them watched the roof of the house being completed eagerly, and went to the street office many times. Unfortunately, they were always rejected by others, with sayings such as "it is being studied" and "this is not within my jurisdiction". In short, no definite answer was given to them.

It's not like they haven't mentioned Lin Yi before, but this is easier to answer. Lin Yi's status as a military martyr's relative is not something that ordinary people have. There's no comparison at all.

"Grandma, I have to be on duty tonight. It's my first day at work, so I have to set an example." Before dinner, Lin Yi told the old lady about the arrangements for tonight in advance.

The old lady nodded and said, "I understand. Be careful."

"Well, old lady, you always have good hearing when Lin Yi speaks." He Yuzhu interrupted.

The old lady ignored He Yuzhu, just ate her own food and pretended not to hear.

Ever since Lin Yi moved in, the old lady has indeed been pretending to be deaf less and less often.

"Lin Yi, I will take care of the old lady making medicine tonight."

After hearing what He Yuzhu said, Liu Mei also laughed, but she continued with Lin Yi's words. Everyone who knew about the old lady's ears knew it, but it was really hard to say anything.

"Are you coming back in the middle of the night? I'll ask Teacher Yan to leave the door open for you?" Yi Zhonghai said. In front of Lin Yi, he didn't mention the term "uncle in charge". He just followed Lin Yi's way of addressing him and called him Teacher Yan. When he wanted to be impolite, he also called him "Old Stingy Yan".
