Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

Old Yang and Yang Weimin are uncle and nephew. Although he tried his best to withstand Li Huaide's attack this time and was not directly pulled down from the position of factory director, unless Old Yang can make great contributions to the country and the people in the future, such as leading the steel rolling mill to break through the foreign technological blockade and produce certain key parts and equipment, there is basically no hope for him to climb up again.

Old Yang originally hoped that he could work in the ministry in this life, but after being implicated by Yang Weimin, this dream has become a slim hope. He must be gnashing his teeth at Yang Weimin, the nephew who betrayed his uncle.

This resentment also affected the relationship between the brothers, and a considerable gap was created between Lao Yang and Yang Ruiming.

Yang Ruiming also knew that it was his son who had implicated his younger brother. Although he tried to ease the relationship with Old Yang, he was unable to do so.

After all, cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. This time, Yang Weimin destroyed Old Yang's future. How could such a big thing be resolved with just a few words?

In the courtyard where the Yu family lived, the scandal of Yu Haitang spread all over the courtyard.

Although this courtyard is usually quite harmonious and there aren't as many troubles as in No. 95 Siheyuan, it's still a shame for a grown girl to mess around with someone else. In particular, a family in this courtyard recently contacted a matchmaker to arrange a blind date. The matchmaker had found a girl with good conditions and was going to come to the house this weekend. But Yu Haitang's incident scared the girl away.

This courtyard is not like the courtyard No. 95 where Bai Wanli lives. Even if there are many bad things in the courtyard, there are still people willing to live here in order to curry favor with the leaders.

If the reputation of the Yu family yard is bad, it will affect all residents.

That family was originally happily preparing to marry a daughter-in-law, but now, they are at odds with the Yu family. When they meet, they say some hurtful words, saying that the Yu family does not know how to educate their daughter and that they have raised a prostitute who is shameful.

Yu's father knew he was in the wrong and couldn't argue with others, but he didn't want to stay in the yard and worry about it. From then on, he went out to work early every morning before others got up.

In the evening, when everyone else was off work, he would stay in the factory to sort out the equipment before going home. After returning home, he would just eat and smoke, not caring about anything else. He also didn't want to see the people in the yard. The atmosphere in Yu's family was so depressing that it was obvious.

In contrast, the No. 95 courtyard and the security office seemed to be living a peaceful life, and Yu Li's life was hardly affected at all.

Because these two places are where Bai Wanli's influence can directly radiate, Fang Qiang is now a popular person in front of Bai Wanli, and no one in the courtyard and the security department dares to offend him.

Although Fang Qiang never mentioned this matter from beginning to end, with his current status, no one dared to talk about the right and wrong of his family. Fang Qiang focused on leading the militia training, and Yu Li focused on learning the craft from Master Zhu and practicing cutting. They lived a very comfortable life.

This incident actually has little impact on the Security Department.

After all, the Security Department arrests a lot of people throughout the year, and this is not the first time Yang Weimin has been arrested. Even if the Security Department wants to discuss this matter, it will only take two or three days to discuss it. It won't keep talking about it.

Especially recently, the Security Department has been conducting militia training. The militia must train, and the security guards must also train together, and they must not be worse than the militia, otherwise it will be a loss of face for the entire Security Department, and they may be laughed at by their comrades for the rest of their lives.

So recently, the security guards have been training like oxen plowing the fields, so they don't have the mood to pay attention to those gossips.

The hard training continued, and soon it was the penultimate day of the militia training.

After dinner, Liu Neng, the head of the Public Security Section, came to the front of the militia.

"Everyone, at ease! Stand at attention!"

"The people whose names I call, please step out."

"Li Yu, Sun Chuanqiu, Guo Jing, Zheng Dasheng, Feng Suyun, step out!"

The five people whose names were called ran out, three men and two women. They didn't know what was going on and were a little nervous.

"The five of you, pay attention, stand to the left and look forward! Follow me, the rest of you can go back to the dormitory and rest."

"One-two-one! One-two-one!"

With Liu Neng's loud voice, five people followed him and trotted away. The other militiamen were very curious about what these five people were called away for, but they were not announced to be disbanded, and they did not dare to say anything. They could only line up and return to the dormitory.

The so-called dormitory was actually an abandoned warehouse of a steel mill. After cleaning it up, a large bunk bed was laid out and everyone slept together. There was a temporary wall made of wooden boards between the male and female soldiers, and that was all.

After returning to the dormitory, everyone started talking about it.

"Hey, why do you think the five of them were called away?"

"I see that Section Chief Liu doesn't look very well. Is something bad going to happen?"

"Hey, we've been training for so many days. When have you ever seen Chief Liu look better? We're not Chief Bai. Li Yu and the other five all perform well in training. I think it's definitely not a bad thing for them to go back. Maybe they'll be recruited into the Security Department."

"real or fake?"

"It's probably true. During the training, I saw Director Bai talking to several section chiefs. I also saw them pointing at Li Yu and Guo Jing. They must have been chosen at that time."

"Yes, I also saw Director Bai pointing at Sun Chuanqiu and talking to Section Chief Liu."

The actual situation was similar to what everyone thought. The five people followed Liu Neng to the director's office and saw Bai Wanli. Bai Wanli said to them directly:

"Comrades, the militia training is about to end. According to my observation and that of the three section chiefs, the five comrades have performed excellently throughout the training. I would like to recruit the five comrades to work in the Security Department. I wonder if you are willing to join the Security Department and serve the people."

Chapter 203 Militia training is over, I wish you peace and happiness

When they heard that Director Bai Wanli had personally sent out the invitation, all five of them showed joy on their faces.

Li Yu, one of the two female comrades, was the first to speak up: "Director Bai, I am willing to join the Security Department for no other reason than to serve the people well!"

"Director Bai, I am willing too!"

"Me too!"

With Li Yu taking the lead, others quickly followed suit and expressed their opinions.

These five people are all from the countryside. Bai Wanli has asked Liu Neng to check their information. They are all innocent. They performed very well during the militia training. Not only did they rank among the best in every training task, but they were also honest and obedient.

The five people were naturally very happy to hear Bai Wanli's invitation, because the days of militia training these days were much more comfortable than farming in the countryside.

Although we have to train every day, farming in the countryside is just as hard. The food in the security department is much better than in the countryside. We can eat meat once every two days, and we have enough steamed buns of two jin flour every day. The food in the countryside is not that good.

Although there are many wild animals in the mountains and forests in the countryside that can be hunted for meat, the problem is that they are unstable.

It is not up to humans to decide when there is prey and when there is no prey.

Sometimes, if you are lucky, you can find a pheasant in the mountains and have a big meal. Sometimes, if you are unlucky, it is normal that you can't eat meat once a year. The food supply is definitely not as stable as that in the city.

Moreover, if you work in the security department, you can get a salary of several dozen yuan a month, which is much better than the dozen yuan you can save in the countryside in a year. You will look energetic and decent in patrolling in uniform. With such good conditions, only a fool would not want to do this.

Bai Wanli smiled and said, "Everyone is in good spirits. Go back and have a good rest today. After the final training tomorrow, a comrade will take you to handle the formalities. From now on, we will be comrades working together."

"Thank you Director Bai"

The five of them thanked Bai Wanli with joy, and when they returned to the dormitory, they couldn't hide the smiles on their faces.

Among the five people, Li Yu was outgoing and had the best interpersonal relationships. After she came back, a familiar girl immediately came over to ask, "Sister Li, why are you smiling so happily? Did Director Bai agree to let you work in the Security Department?"

Bai Wanli did not say that this matter needed to be kept secret, Li Yu said straightforwardly:

"That's right, Director Bai said that the five of us can go through the formalities tomorrow, and then we will be security guards in the Security Department."

Although people had already guessed it when they were discussing it before, the confirmation still attracted a lot of admiration. Most of them were from the countryside. They envied Li Yu and his friends for getting a job in the city, and for being able to transfer their household registration to the city, become city dwellers, and eat the food supply.

A small number of people in the city envied Li Yu and his team for entering the Security Department. Even if they were to cling to the thigh of Bai Wanli, a great Buddha, they would have a good life in the future.

Many people congratulated Li Yu and the other five people. Everyone was laughing and joking. When it was time to turn off the lights, everyone went to bed.

The next day was the last day of the militia training. Similar to modern military training, there would not be too heavy training programs arranged on the last day. In other words, the leader, Bai Wanli in this case, would spend half of the morning to see the results of the militia training, which was equivalent to a small military parade.

In the afternoon, we arranged some activities, such as tug-of-war, wrestling, singing red songs, etc., so that everyone can relax.

Bai Wanli didn't put on airs and went down to compete in arm wrestling.

"If any of you can beat me in arm wrestling, I will pay for a meat dish for everyone tonight."

Bai Wanli made a bold statement. He had combined the power of Lü Bu and Overlord. He was invincible in terms of physical strength. No one could beat him in arm wrestling unless he wanted to.

As the saying goes, a big reward always attracts brave men. Under the temptation of Bai Wanli's meat and vegetables, many strong guys wanted to compete with Bai Wanli, but they were all crushed by Bai Wanli one by one.

At first, the onlookers thought they were giving face to Director Bai Wanli. After all, he was the leader, and it would not be good to make the leader embarrassed by winning all of a sudden.

As a result, Bai Wanli defeated more than 30 people in a row. Later, he simply asked two people to come up together, but still no one was Bai Wanli's opponent. When the two strong men, who weighed more than 300 pounds in total, were arm wrestling with Bai Wanli, their faces were redder than tomatoes, and veins bulged on their necks and foreheads, but they were still no match for Bai Wanli. This is how people felt something was wrong.

A militiaman saw Liu Neng watching with a smile on his face, so he went over to ask, "Chief Liu, Director Bai is so young, how come he is so strong?" Although Liu Neng was very serious during normal training, it was the last day now and the atmosphere was more relaxed, so the militiamen were no longer afraid of him.

Liu Neng said, holding a cigarette in his mouth: "If you ask me, who should I ask? Anyway, I know that hundreds of people in our department once had an arm wrestling competition with the director. We wanted to win two packs of special cigarettes from him. In the end, we lost miserably. Now it's time for you guys to suffer a little loss."

The militiamen who heard this didn't believe that Bai Wanli could win the arm wrestling match against so many people from the Security Department, but the result seemed to make them believe it. Even if it was two against one, the militiamen who wanted to arm wrestle with Bai Wanli were still ruthlessly crushed.

When the last two challengers were defeated by Bai Wanli, many people looked at Bai Wanli with eyes that had changed from surprise to admiration, while a few people's eyes had lost their luster, as if they had been hit.

After the afternoon activities, the militiamen and security guards had their last meal together. After that, the 20-day militia training came to an end.

Most people packed up their things and returned to their original units or communes, except for Li Yu and the other five. After packing up their things, they followed the security guard to go through the formalities under the envious gazes of others.

Bai Wanli didn't need to worry about the small matter of handling the formalities. He took Zhu Qing'an home. When they got home, Bai Wanli threw himself on the bed. The soft and comfortable bedding almost made him fall asleep on the spot.

"Huh... this exhausting militia training is finally over."

Zhu Qingan fetched some water, wet a towel and wiped Bai Wanli's face. As he wiped, he smiled and said, "Didn't I see you were very energetic a few days ago? Why are you complaining about being tired after it's over?"

Bai Wanli closed his eyes and said, "I was not in high spirits at all. I was forcing myself to train these militiamen. Physical fatigue is a small matter. The key is to stay mentally tense. There were so many people here. If there was a mistake, it would be my responsibility. Now it's okay. I have finally sent these big Buddhas away."

"Okay, okay, I know you've worked hard, I'll tell you some good news to make you happy, okay?"

"Well, let's talk"

“I…I’m pregnant.”

Chapter 204: Zhu Qing'an's arrangements after your pregnancy

I am pregnant……

These four words fell lightly into Bai Wanli's ears, causing him to open his eyes immediately and sit up instantly, almost bumping his head with Zhu Qingan's.

"Qing'an...are you really pregnant?"

Bai Wanli's voice trembled as he said this, and he subconsciously placed his hand on Zhu Qing'an's lower abdomen. Although he couldn't feel any ups and downs yet, he subconsciously made his movements much lighter.

Zhu Qingan's face was flushed and she smiled:

"Is this something you can joke about? I went to the hospital for a checkup and it turns out I'm pregnant."

"When did you go to the hospital? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I should have gone with you."

Bai Wanli has been a father for two lifetimes, and this is his first time. When he suddenly learned that Zhu Qing'an was pregnant, he was really at a loss.

It was also the first time that Zhu Qingan saw Bai Wanli so flustered, and his eyes were smiling into crescent moons.

"Wanli, don't be so nervous. I'm a doctor myself, and I know my body. In fact, I went to the hospital for a check-up four days ago. But at that time you were so busy with militia training, so I didn't rush to tell you. I wanted to give you a surprise after you finished your training."

Zhu Qingan grabbed Bai Wanli's hand on her belly, and the couple put their hands together on their stomachs, as if they were feeling the tiny life in their stomachs together.

"Wanli, do you hope this child will be a boy or a girl?"

"Girl" Bai Wanli answered without hesitation

"Why?" This answer surprised Zhu Qing'an. She certainly wouldn't favor boys over girls, but she also knew the situation of the Bai family. Bai Wanli's parents only left him as a son, so Bai Wanli could only be the one to carry on the family line.
