Dabao was not angry. The reason why he hit Wu Jianghe was that he wanted to make a big mistake. After all, he had made too many contributions during this period of time, which could easily arouse the jealousy of others. He made a mistake to offset it and make it less conspicuous.

Unexpectedly, someone had even more sophisticated means. Seeing that Wu Jianghe was no longer able to turn things around, they simply made use of the waste and wanted to completely destroy the Central Investigation Bureau.

This move was really cruel, catching Dabao off guard. In fact, even if he was prepared, it would be useless. Wu Jianghe could not be kept under his nose, so he was helpless against this move and had no way to deal with it.

Now the blame for beating Wu Jianghe to death has been completely pinned on Dabao's head. Dabao can't even watch the death, and has no chance of turning the situation around. He can only swallow his anger and accept the decision of the punishment.

Dabao walked out of the General Staff and got into his jeep. At this moment, Dabao felt a tightness in his chest. He had hardly been back to the capital for the past six months. He ran around for official business and offended many people. If it weren't for his powerful methods that shocked these people, I'm afraid someone would have dealt with them in the Central Investigation Bureau long ago.

Dabao drove the car back to the military sub-district compound. As soon as he opened the gate, Zuo Menyue was there, holding the child. He watched as the child stretched out his little hands towards him, mumbling "Daddy, Daddy"...

Dabao's heart suddenly became clear. Why did he live a new life? Wasn't it just for these family members? To make up for the regrets of his previous life. Now his parents are still alive, he has a wife and children, and a lively and lovely sister. What more could he ask for?

Dabao did not hide anything and told everything to his family. Grandma nodded with satisfaction.

"A real man has his ways and his ways. If you do something unscrupulous or desert the army just to get promoted or make money, then I'd rather not have you as my grandson. This is fine too. I can rest at home."

Qin Qingyou's mood has changed a lot since he was injured. Now he can't do heavy work and can't stay at home, so he went to the factory to accompany Dabao's senior brother and work as a security guard.

He felt bad that his son, a director, was suspended from his post, but he said nothing. He just smiled and patted Dabao's arm.

Lu Xiu'e never tolerates anyone. She scolded Wu Jianghe and others for more than half an hour. Dabao counted carefully and found that his mother repeated the scolding words only three times, which showed that his mother's quarreling skills had improved again.

Lu Jianbang and Bai Xiuying didn't say anything when they came back. Lu Jianbang and Dabao chatted in the study for more than half an hour, and then called Grandpa Lu using the confidential phone at home. No one knew what Grandpa Lu said, but the two of them were very happy after coming out of the study.

Dabao was suspended from work, and Zuo Mingyue also stopped going to work. The weather gradually became colder, and winter was coming. Dabao and Zuo Mingyue moved back to the courtyard house, and they decided to get married after New Year's Day.

Dabao and Zuo Mingyue still work at the Municipal Public Security Bureau, so Lu Jianbang approved his marriage application without any hesitation. Now they have to wait until mid-December when Dabao turns 20, and then they can go to the Civil Affairs Bureau to get their marriage certificate.

It has been almost half a year since Dabao last returned to the Siheyuan. There have been some changes in the Siheyuan. Shazhu got married to Lou Xiaoe. Qin Huairu is living a good life now. She works in the factory union, which is also a cadre position. She earns more than 50 yuan a month. The treatment from the union is not bad. There are five people in the family, and a salary of more than 50 yuan is enough to support the family.

Dabao stayed at home during this period. He became addicted to visiting Liulichang with Lao Zhang, and occasionally he would find a great bargain. Dabao became more and more interested in antiques, and his knowledge was much better than those so-called experts and professors in later generations.

Silly Chun'er's mother Xu Minrong gave birth again, and as expected, it was another girl, this one was Suchu. Silly Chun often carried Suchu with her to play with Nuannuan. This time, Xiaodang became the leader of several children, followed by a line of little brats, all wearing open-crotch pants, walking crookedly.

A month and a half passed like this. Every day, Dabao was either studying antiques with Old Zhang or going home to think about what to cook. Grandma took Niuniu and Erbao back to the courtyard. Now, both the Yuhong class and the school are suspended. The teachers are so hungry that they don't even have the energy to teach.

After winter came, there was still no snow, and the weather was extremely cold.

The situation outside is becoming more and more serious. The Four Cleanups Movement has spread from the countryside to the cities, but in the cities it has been renamed the Five Antis Movement. Every day, the announcers are broadcasting all kinds of good news through the loudspeakers, as if the prospects are bright. However, people's ears are like chicken feathers, and no one will take this good news seriously.

Because in fact, there are more and more people begging on the streets in the capital. Not only outsiders, but also people from the villages around the capital have come out to beg for food.

The food ration in the city has been reduced again and again. Now adults only have 18 kilograms of coarse grains and 1 kilogram of fine grains per month, which is not enough to fill their stomachs. In the middle of winter, even wild vegetables cannot be found, and people live in a half-hungry state.

This shows the benefits of good factory welfare. The Red Star Steel Rolling Mill still provides two meals a day, but the staple food is two-grain steamed buns or steamed corn bread, and the stir-fried dishes are only cabbage, radish, potato, and vermicelli.

Most of the factories in the city only work half a day, and the remaining half day is used for political study or criticism meetings.

Semi-military industrial units such as steel rolling mills were not greatly affected. After all, the production task was extremely heavy and the country urgently needed steel. Under this premise, any political movement had to be put on the back burner.

Zuo Mingyue and Shachun became good friends. The key is that these two are silly girls, without much brains, but with a chivalrous heart. Now Xue Kui was taken to Nanjing by his grandfather, while Jin Hai, Tong Liang and Sun Qian are still in the Central Investigation Bureau, but they have nothing to do all day long. They often come to Dabao for free meals, which makes Dabao angry and he has no idea what to do.

But he was also very relieved. Now many people avoided him when they saw him, as if he had committed a serious crime of murder and arson, but these brothers still stayed with him.

On December 16th, Dabao and Zuo Mingyue got their marriage certificate. Zuo Mingyue is now over four months pregnant and is already showing a little. Dabao decided to hold a simple wedding on January 1st, inviting only family and a few close friends to witness it. He originally wanted to ask Sha Zhu to cook two tables of banquets to entertain the guests, but now that is not possible.

The Four Cleanups Movement was in full swing, and the first thing it targeted was the practice of taking advantage of weddings and funerals to engage in extravagance and waste, entertaining guests and giving gifts, so all it could do was buy some candies to sweeten the guests' mouths.

But unexpectedly, on the wedding day, an uninvited guest arrived and disrupted this simple wedding...
