The incident of cutting corners at the family home was in full swing. Every day, transporters went to Zuo Changzheng's office to put pressure on them, forcing Director Zuo to give them an explanation.

Zuo Changzheng was one of two older men, so he simply handed a leave request note to the Transportation Bureau and asked for a long-term sick leave to stay at home without leaving the door.

Xue Ming suffered when he asked for sick leave, and when the director ran away, he made trouble for the deputy director. Soon Xue Ming was made dizzy by his comrades.

When comrades came to him to complain, he went to the Transportation Bureau to complain to Director Cao Baoshan.

He kicked the door of the Transportation Bureau to pieces, and within half a month, Director Cao Baoshan also took sick leave and went home to be a coward.

Xue Ming became the plague god of the Transportation Bureau. Whenever his bicycle appeared on the road, the gatekeeper of the Transportation Bureau immediately shouted at the top of his lungs, "Xue Ming is here."

For a while, all offices locked their doors, and the aunt who cleaned the toilet also closed the toilet door. No matter how Xue Ming knocked, they would not open the door.

In desperation, Xue Ming went to Xinhua Bookstore to buy a notebook. Whoever caused the most trouble would be recorded in the notebook, and he would be given small shoes to wear when the houses were divided.

The construction site of the family home is in a state of suspension. More than a month has passed and there is still no comment from the higher authorities. The substandard house is still standing.

The transporters' dissatisfaction reached the extreme. They blocked Xue Ming in the office this morning, and the whole office was packed.

Xue Ming could only take them to the conference room and cursed Zuo Changzheng secretly. I can't bear the pressure alone. If you don't show up, you old bastard, I'll ask for sick leave.

"Ninth brother, no one is forcing you. You can't delay the house matter any longer." Wang Xianbang said cautiously.

"Brother, please stop saying a few words. If the higher-ups don't give me an explanation, I'm helpless." Xue Ming spread his hands to express his helplessness.

Wang Xianbang noticed that his ninth brother's tone was angry, so he shut up decisively and at the same time winked at the other brothers, "We should not be the first in the transportation department."

"Director Xue, please give an explanation to comrades. Our family has been renting a house outside, and my wife is making trouble with me every day." Gao Yunfei stood up and spoke.

He used to be from Jin Buer, and he and Xue Ming couldn't urinate in the same pot.

"Comrade Gao Yunfei, my family is also renting a house outside, and I have a headache every day because of the house. Can't we understand each other?" Xue Ming asked rhetorically.

"Comrade Gao, my younger brother and sister used to live in the Zhao family compound, but now they live in the courtyard with my ninth brother. I believe no one wants a house more than my ninth brother. Do you understand?" Wang Tianhe said.

"I understand him, but who understands me? Yesterday, my wife got into a fight with a neighbor over the kitchen and went back to her parents' house in a rage, leaving her two children without anyone to take care of her." Gao Yunfei stamped his feet and beat his chest.

The venue was completely silent. This group of transporters used to be distributed in various factories and lived in the family homes of each factory.

After the Transportation Department was established, some old factories allowed them to continue to live in the family homes of their own factories. For example, Wang Xianbang and Wang Tianhe still live in the family homes of the First Textile Factory.

Most factories are ruthless. For example, the Second Iron Foundry where Gao Yunfei worked evicted the Gao family from the factory's family home. Gao Yunfei could only rent a house with his family.

Siheyuan basically has a shared kitchen and toilet. There are frictions between neighbors every day over trivial matters. This is also the case in Mijia Siheyuan.

Everyone had finally waited for the transportation department to start construction on the courtyard, and now it was stopped because of cutting corners and cutting corners. The resentment in their hearts naturally exploded.

"Comrade Gao Yunfei, work is work and life is life. You can't bring the emotions in life to work. Let me say it again, my family also lives in a courtyard." Xue Ming said.

"Director Xue, if the organization cannot solve the life problems of comrades, how can comrades devote themselves to work?"

Gao Yunfei suddenly slammed the table, "My rent is due soon. If Director Xue doesn't give me an explanation, I will take the whole family to live in your house."

"You go and stay, I'll give you face, right?" Xue Ming also slapped the table with a bang.

The depression accumulated recently also broke out in an instant, "You guys need to understand one thing. It is the Transportation Department that owes you a house, not me, Xue Ming, who owes you a house."

The entire venue was silent. No one expected that Director Xue, who had always been kind, would get so angry. Gao Yunfei did not dare to be presumptuous anymore and sat down on the chair with his head lowered.

"In order to help you solve your problem, I go to the Transportation Bureau every day to cry for my father and mother. Do you know how much I have been wronged? This bullshit deputy director quits my job."

Xue Ming tossed his sleeves and left the venue, got on his bicycle and went straight home. His wife and mother had not gotten off work yet, and his sister Xue Ling had the day off.

Xue Ming was sitting in the bedroom in a daze. Although he had scolded him a lot, he could not solve the fundamental problem. How should he solve the problem?

Xue Ling saw that her brother's face was not good and she quickly went back to the house to make tea for her brother to relieve his anger. When she found that there was no water in the thermos bottle, she took the kettle to the kitchen to boil water.

There was only one stove in the kitchen. Xue Ling took out the charcoal to light a fire, put a kettle on and stood by the stove.

At this time, the neighbor Sang Gaihong and his two children came to the kitchen with a kettle and asked, "Xiaoling, can you let me boil the water first? My mother-in-law is waiting to drink the medicine."

Sang Gaihong is a newly moved tenant. Her husband works at the No. 2 Firecracker Factory. She is a housewife at home. Her mother-in-law is in poor health and drinks traditional Chinese medicine all year round.

"I'm sorry, Sister Sang, my eldest brother is waiting for tea." Xue Ling declined politely, saying that it wasn't that I was unkind, but that I didn't want to be fooled by you.

There were similar situations in the previous two times. Xue Ling didn't want to delay the old man's medicine, so she gave the stove to her. Logically speaking, she should return the charcoal to Xue Ling after boiling the water.

She didn't pay it back the first time, and she didn't pay it back the second time. Xue Ling understood that she was deliberately taking advantage of the charcoal.

"You can drink the tea later. My mother-in-law is waiting for the medicine. Sister Xiaoling, let me boil water first." Sang Gaihong continued to discuss with a smile.

"No, I'll let you use it after I've finished it." Xue Ling used tongs to spread the charcoal fire in the stove.

If this pot of water is boiled, the charcoal will be gone. If you don't take advantage these days, you will suffer a loss.

Sang Gaihong started to get angry, "If you drink tea later, you won't die. If you take medicine later, what if my mother-in-law gets sick? Why are you so ignorant?"

"Are you ignorant? Why do you curse my brother?" Xue Ling suddenly stood up and pinched her waist with her hands.

"Did I say something wrong? You stupid girl is ignorant." Sang Gaihong, who couldn't take advantage, broke his face.

The two quarreled in the kitchen and soon attracted the attention of the crowd. Sang Gaihong and Xue Ling faced off tit for tat.

Xue Ming heard the quarrel and hurried to the kitchen. Xue Ling couldn't help crying, "Brother, she is bullying."

"What's going on? Why are you quarreling?" Xue Ming put his arms around his sister's shoulders and looked up at Sang Gaihong, who was baring his teeth and claws.
