Siheyuan: Yi Zhonghai was chopped off with a knife, who in the courtyard would not obey

Of course, Chen Jianye did not think Xu Damao had done anything wrong.

As an ordinary person, if you have a relationship with a capitalist, your first thought is naturally to sever that relationship and protect yourself.

If a wife has a relationship with a capitalist, then that wife is no longer acceptable.

At first, Xu Damao wanted a wife. He was a third-generation poor peasant and thought that if his wife cut off her ties with the capitalists, he might be able to keep her.

Xu Damao's idea was already very good. Compared to other ungrateful and selfish people, he was definitely a good person.

But Lou Xiao'e didn't think that way.

She is very filial and can't bear to see her parents suffer, which is perfectly understandable.

Chen Jianye couldn't say anything about it and could only watch as the two drifted further and further apart.

"Lou Xiao'e went to the Lou family after all, didn't she?"

Chen Jianye asked.

"I definitely went."

“Everyone in the compound is quite worried about this. The residents in our compound are all of good character, except for Lou Xiao’e who has a problem.”

"What should we do about this? It's really worrying."

Yan Fugui sighed.

"Let's take it one step at a time. We have good family backgrounds, so let's just see how it goes."

Chen Jianye understood the meaning behind Yan Fugui's words.

The problem lies with Lou Xiao'e. If Lou Xiao'e is kicked out of the courtyard, the courtyard will be fine.

But Chen Jianye couldn't do that.

He knew that the worst was yet to come, and besides, the Lou family, though dead, did not fall down.

Lou Baicheng will arrange for them to flee, and Lou Xiao'e will go with them, so the courtyard won't have this trouble anymore.

Why would he want to offend someone at this time?

"If we don't do something, those people won't come to our yard to do anything, will they?"

Yan Fugui said with some concern.

“Hey, the residents in our compound are either workers or poor farmers. What can those people do to us?”

"Not to mention I also have a model worker medal. If anyone dares to touch me, I'll go and report them to the leaders."

Chen Jianye spoke in a relaxed tone.

“That’s true. They might offend anyone, but they wouldn’t dare offend you. You’re the workers’ representative.”

Yan Fugui was pleased.

Chen Jianye pushed his cart back to his doorstep.

As soon as he entered the house, he heard Ran Qiuye talking about Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

"We won't get involved in this; we won't kick someone when they're down, nor will we help them."

Chen Jianye said.

"Well, actually these two kids are quite good, it's just that they've run into this situation."

Lü Qiang sighed, feeling sorry for Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e.

She was older and knew that this couple was definitely not going to have a good time.

She couldn't bear to see a perfectly good family being torn apart.

"There's nothing we can do. At this time of year, when trouble comes, it's trouble. What can we do?"

Chen Jianye spoke calmly.

He knew even better that as things escalated, intellectuals like Ran Dinghong and Lü Qiang would be affected.

Now Lü Qiang has time to sigh for others, but in three to five years, others will have to sigh for her.

However, due to Chen Jianye's arrangement, his family went to the port city at the end of this year and missed what was to come.

Chen Jianye could not comment on the time ahead. He could only strive to become stronger, acquire more resources, and wait for time to pass until a historical turning point was reached, at which point he would return to rebuild the country.

Doing your own job well is the most important thing.

As for other matters, he's just a nobody; trying to change anything is like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

That evening, Chen Jianye and Ran Qiuye talked for a long time.

Ran Qiuye mentioned that some students in the school had participated in the operation, which was a very bad sign.

Chen Jianye simply reassured her that she didn't need to worry about anything, since he would definitely take his family to Hong Kong before the Lunar New Year.

Ran Qiuye thought about it and realized that it was indeed the case, which lessened her worries considerably.

The next morning, Chen Jianye talked about his application to go to the port city for research.

"Why are you going again?"

Lü Qiang was a little unhappy.

She always felt uneasy without a man in the house, especially with all the rumors circulating outside.

"Mom, I applied to go to Gangcheng this time myself. The main purpose is to understand the living needs of the people in Gangcheng and make products that meet their needs."

"The leader has already approved it, and the process may take two or three days."

Chen Jianye explained.

“Mom, Jianye did the right thing. The better his products sell, the more foreign exchange the country can earn. This is a great thing.”

Ran Qiuye said from the side.

"Okay, okay, you two are on the same page, as long as you've reached an agreement."

Lü Qiang pouted.

Sure enough, on the third day, Chen Bin received a document from the Ministry of Foreign Trade when he went to work.

The person who delivered the documents was Zhang Jungang, an old acquaintance of Chen Bin.

"Comrade Jianye."

Zhang Jungang shouted loudly, a bright smile on his face.

"Comrade Jun Gang."

Chen Jianye greeted him warmly.

While in the port city, he lived with Zhang Jungang and a few others for half a month. Zhang Jungang kept urging him to go to the dock to unload cargo.

When Chen Jianye saw Zhang Jungang, he was reminded of this past event and found it quite interesting.

Regardless, Zhang Jungang is a good person.

Two large hands were clasped tightly together.

"Comrade Jianye, Secretary Zhang asked me to bring you some documents."

Zhang Jungang opened the cloth bag, took out several documents, and handed them to Chen Jianye.

"Thank you so much, Comrade Jun Gang. Shall we go together again this time?"

Chen Jianye took the document and glanced at it.

The document already contained his customs clearance information for the port city, a letter of introduction from Beijing to Guangzhou, and supplies such as national grain coupons.

With this document in hand, Chen Jianye could set off for the port city at any time.

They can also apply for temporary residency in the port city.

"Where in the past?"

Zhang Jungang asked in confusion.

"Don't you know the contents of my materials?"

Chen Jianye was somewhat surprised and turned the document over to show Zhang Jungang.

"Of course I don't know. Secretary Zhang asked me to give you the materials, but he didn't let me see the contents."

Zhang Jungang said very seriously.

The leader only asked him to hand over the materials, and that was all he did. Zhang Jungang would never have any extra curiosity.

If he had it, he wouldn't be in his current position.

“I submitted an application to Minister Ye to conduct research in the port city for a week.”

"These materials are part of my legal process."

Chen Jianye explained.

"I see. It looks like we really are going to Hong Kong together."

"However, we're going there together this time, but we can't come back together. I'll have to stay in Hong Kong for more than half a month."

Zhang Jungang said with a smile.

"It would be nice if we could go together. When are you planning to leave?"

Chen Jianye asked casually.

"My plan is to go tomorrow, with three colleagues along. Cao Chai will be there too, and I'll introduce you to the other two on the way."

Zhang Jungang grinned.

"Okay, what time should we meet at the train station tomorrow?"

Chen Jianye pondered for a moment and then asked.

Going to the port city with Zhang Jungang would provide companionship, and more importantly, Zhang Jungang works for the Ministry of Foreign Trade, which would be very useful should any unexpected events occur on the way.

So Chen Jianye decided to go with Zhang Jungang.

"Same as always, seven o'clock tomorrow."

Zhang Jungang said.

The two chatted for a while longer before Zhang Jungang left.

Chen Jianye put away the documents and went to Yang Liangping's office to tell Yang Liangping about his trip to the port city the next day with people from the Ministry of Foreign Trade.

“Great! This is a great learning opportunity. Minister Ye secured it for you, so you should take it seriously.”

"Don't worry about things at work. Chief Engineer Su will be in charge when I get back. You can give your subordinates a few more instructions."

Yang Liangping expressed his strong support.

"Thank you, boss. I'll tell them right away."

Chen Jianye nodded.

Back in the workshop, he asked Luo Renping and Lei Kaixiang to gather the project team members.

Soon, the project team of more than 20 people gathered together.

Usually, it's only during meetings that everyone can gather like this.

Everyone knows that Chen Jianye doesn't like meetings, so the fact that he called everyone over this time must mean he has something important to tell them.
