Siheyuan: He Yuzhu since 1958

As soon as the bell rang for the end of get off work, Liu Haizhong, who had been fishing all afternoon, seemed to be given an injection of chicken blood and was the first to run out of the workshop with his lunch box.

"Hey?! Old Liu, you came back really early today!" Yan Bugui, who was tidying up his private plot, heard the footsteps and turned his head. Seeing Liu Haizhong coming back, he smiled and greeted him.

Liu Haizhong asked: "Old Yan, have you heard about He Yuzhu's situation?!"

Yan Bugui replied: "Your factory broadcast is so loud, how could you not know?!"

Liu Haizhong said, "Normally, he discovered the enemy spy outside. He should have reported it to the two of us in charge. Then we reported it to the street office, and after the street office verified it, it reported it to the public security bureau. But He Yuzhu bypassed us two this time and reported it directly to the police. Is he afraid that we two will steal his credit?! I think this trend cannot be allowed to continue. We must hold a meeting to criticize him and knock down his arrogance. Otherwise, the two of us will have no prestige in this courtyard. We will not be able to manage this courtyard in the future."

Yan Bugui said, "Old Liu, I have wanted to do this for a long time. But you have been unwilling to cooperate. I can't do it alone!" Then he changed the subject and continued, "But now is not a good opportunity."

"Liu Haizhong! You have a problem with your thinking!" At this moment, Wang Xia's voice rang out behind the two of them. Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's hearts skipped a beat when they heard the voice. They turned around and saw Wang Xia staring at them with a fierce look.

Liu Haizhong was a little embarrassed, with a look of not knowing whether to laugh or cry on his face, and asked, "Director Wang, why are you here?!"

Wang Xia said, "If I hadn't come, I wouldn't have known that you two were such bosses!"

Liu Haizhong said hurriedly: "Director Wang, please listen to our explanation!"

"Don't explain! I didn't quite believe it when I received reports from others before. I thought you two were pretty good. Now I really believe it!" Wang Xia looked at Liu Haizhong, then at Yan Bugui, and then said, "Tomorrow after get off work, you two will come to the subdistrict office and accept your punishment! From now on, your positions as managers will be suspended."

Liu Haizhong was so angry at this moment! He blamed himself for being in such a hurry to come back. If he had come back at about the same time as usual, wouldn't he have been able to escape this disaster? ! Then Liu Haizhong blamed He Yuzhu in his heart, why couldn't he report to him first, and why did he take all the credit by himself? !

Wang Xia asked: "Have all the people in the courtyard returned?!"

Yan Bugui quickly replied: "Not yet!"

"Yeah!" Wang Xia responded, raised her wrist to check the time on her watch, looked at the two staff members beside her, and said, "They should be back soon, let's wait a while!"

"Okay!" The two clerks responded in unison and followed Wang Xia to the central courtyard.

After Wang Xia and the two staff members left, Yan Bugui grabbed Liu Haizhong by the collar and said, "Liu Haizhong, are you trying to hurt me? I'm no longer the manager! Are you happy? I don't care! You must compensate me!"

Liu Haizhong knew he was in the wrong, so he gritted his teeth and said, "I'll pay you two dollars."

Yan Bugui said, "Two dollars?! Are you sending away a beggar?! At least five dollars. Otherwise, don't blame me for being rude!"

"It's my bad luck!" Liu Haizhong took out five dollars from his pocket without thinking and threw it to Yan Bugui. Then he pushed Yan Bugui aside and left angrily.

Yan Bugui picked up the money from the ground with a smile, muttering, "You're smart. Otherwise, I'll blackmail you to death!"

After about half an hour, the people in the courtyard came back one after another. He Yuzhu had just pushed his bicycle into the middle courtyard when Wang Xia called out, "Zhuzi!"

"Hey!" He Yuzhu responded and asked, "Auntie Wang, are you looking for me?!"

Wang Xia said: "You kid! You have done such a great contribution. I am so happy for you!"

He Yuzhu understood what was going on instantly and said with a smile: "Auntie Wang, this is what I should do. We have finally got a good life now, we can't let those people with ulterior motives ruin it, right?!"

Yan Bugui walked up to Wang Xia and said, "Director Wang, except for Xu Damao in the backyard, everyone else has returned!"

"Yes!" Wang Xia responded, and said, "It doesn't matter if he is missing. Old Yan, gather everyone together. I want to tell everyone something."

"Hey!" Yan Bugui responded and immediately asked his children to notify everyone in the hospital to hold a meeting.

Not long after, all the residents of the quadrangle came to the middle courtyard. Yan Bugui saw that everyone had arrived and reminded them, "Director Wang, everyone is here. We can start the meeting now!"

Wang Xia nodded and said, "I know everyone has just returned and hasn't eaten yet. So I won't waste everyone's time. I'll just get straight to the point. There are two things today. The first thing is Comrade He Yuzhu's matter, I believe everyone knows about it. So I won't say much. In order to commend Comrade He Yuzhu's deeds, the subdistrict office awarded Comrade He Yuzhu 50 yuan, 20 kilograms of food coupons, and 2 kilograms of meat coupons. I hope everyone will learn from Comrade He Yuzhu! Now, please invite Comrade He Yuzhu to come up and receive the award!" After that, Wang Xia took the lead in applauding.

He Yuzhu said: "Director Wang, I accept the praise, but I cannot accept the reward!"

Wang Xia asked: "He Yuzhu, do you think this is too little?!"

He Yuzhu said hurriedly, "Director Wang! You misunderstood me! I accepted all the rewards given to me by the police today except for the letter of commendation. It's not that I'm aloof. I just think there are still many needy families and relatives of military martyrs in our neighborhood office. I think the New Year is coming soon. Can the neighborhood office exchange the reward given to me for something to give to them? Even though it's not much, it's a token of my heart."

Wang Xia was even more satisfied with He Yuzhu at this time. Wang Xia nodded and said, "Zhuzi, don't worry! I will definitely help you with this!" Then Wang Xia changed the subject and continued, "Now I will talk about the second time. Because of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's ideological problems, they are now exempted from their status as the managers of our hospital. From now on, our hospital will be directly managed by the street office. In the future, if there are any conflicts between neighbors in the hospital, they can solve them by themselves. If they can't solve them, they can come to the street office or go to the public security station." After that, Wang Xia's eyes quickly swept across the faces of everyone present and said, "Dismissed!"

When the people in the courtyard heard the words "dismissal", they all left one after another. Qin Huairu walked in front of Wang Xia and suddenly knelt on the ground. Tears immediately flowed down like a faucet switch turned on. She cried and said, "Director Wang, please save our Dongxu! He must have been wronged!"

Wang Xia had received a report from the police station about Jia Dongxu's situation, and she knew what was going on. While helping Qin Huairu up, Wang Xia said, "What is true cannot be false, and what is false cannot be true. Jia Dongxu knows whether he has done anything wrong or not."

Qin Huairu asked, "Director Wang, our family depends on Jia Dongxu. What should I do if something happens to him?!"

Wang Xia said, "Qin Huairu, if I remember correctly, your household registration is still in the countryside. You can't stay in the city, you can go back to the countryside."

"I finally got out of the countryside. It's impossible for me to go back! At worst, I can divorce Jia Dongxu. It won't be difficult for me to find another one!" After some mental preparation, Qin Huairu still put on a tearful look and said, "Director Wang, please be kind! Help me think of a way to save Jia Dongxu!"

Wang Xia said: "I can't help you with Jia Dongxu's matter. I can only help you find out. You wait for news at home!" After that, Wang Xia took people away from the courtyard.
