Siheyuan: Sizhu starts blindly and takes a new path

Uncle San had just finished thinking about the benefits of the steel mill and was about to talk to Sha Zhu about something else. Sha Zhu had already entered the hallway. Uncle San called out from behind, but Sha Zhu was pushing the cart and walking quickly inside. Uncle San took two quick steps and grabbed Sha Zhu, saying, "Zhu Zi, why are you running? Am I the Big Bad Wolf?"

"Uncle, it's late. I'm in a hurry to go home for dinner." Sha Zhu stopped helplessly and asked, "Why do you have to drag me? What's the matter?"

The third uncle smiled and said in a somewhat flattering manner: "Zhu Zi, you are a leader now, you must take care of your own people."

"She's one of us. I only have one sister and I take good care of her." Sha Zhu pretended to be stupid.

The third uncle pretended to be angry and said, "Zhu Zi, this is not right. We have lived in the same courtyard for so long, and Jie Cheng Jiefang has treated you as his own brother. Can you still work as a temporary worker while watching Jiefang?"

"Dear brother, my last name is He, what's Jiefang's last name?"

"I mean treat him like my own brother. Haha." The third uncle laughed awkwardly twice, and then said, "You are so capable now that the factory has given you a car. It's just a matter of a few words to arrange a job for you."

"Uncle, you asked Jie Cheng to look for me some time ago. If it could be arranged, it would have been arranged long ago. Why bother asking you to come and ask me again? I am just the person in charge of the canteen. If I really can't arrange work for Jie Cheng, you should think of other ways. I am really hungry and I want to go home to eat."

"Sha Zhu, have you turned your back on people just because you have become a leader and have power? I have watched you grow up, and we are old neighbors. As the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor. Today, you are not willing to lend a hand for such a small matter? There will be times when you can ask others for help." The third uncle's voice suddenly became louder, and people who didn't know the truth would really think that Sha Zhu didn't care about the neighborly feelings because of such a small matter.

Sha Zhu understood that the Third Uncle wanted to take the initiative and tried to use people who had only heard a few words to force himself, who might be afraid of trouble, to submit to him. But is Sha Zhu a coward?

Like a fool, he said loudly, "Third Uncle, I really can't arrange a job for Yan Jiefang. Although I am a leading cadre, I must also abide by principles and emphasize fairness and justice. Relying on personal connections is not acceptable. If everyone relies on personal connections, how can we build the four modernizations and how can we build the country? In the future, don't talk to me about work. I can't do it and I can't do it."

The third uncle knew that he had offended Sha Zhu. He had slapped himself countless times in his imagination. Sha Zhu's last sentence had blocked all his options.

Yu Li asked Sha Zhu why he didn't help Yan Jiefang find a job. Wasn't the chef service team expanding and recruiting new people?

"The people we recruit now are all temporary workers. Uncle San doesn't want a temporary worker. He wants to be a regular worker in the future. No one can predict what will happen to the chef service team in the future. If there is a change and the service team is disbanded, how will Yan Jiefang arrange it? If I withdraw him at that time, Uncle San will have to trouble me. I can't afford it. It's better to give up his idea as soon as possible."

"It's really hard to find a job now. There are new batches of young people, but not many new jobs. There are many groups of young people on the streets. They have no jobs and no money, so they can only wander around. They are all strong and have tempers. If they like each other, they will hang out together like brothers and sisters, but if they don't like each other, they will fight and kill each other. A few days ago, when Liu came to the street office to do work, he said that several young people in our area participated in the group fight that happened in Shichahai some time ago. Fortunately, those few people just went there to stand in line and didn't really fight."

"A large-scale fight, how big is it? How many people are involved?" Men will be interested when they hear about fighting, so Sha Zhu pays special attention to the fighting scenes.

"Da Liu said there were 100 to 200 people."

"Oh, one or two hundred. That's quite a big scene. It's a pity that I didn't get to see it live. I saw group fights when I was a kid. At that time, those who fought in groups were all hooligans. But most of the time they just stood there and talked about numbers, or sent one or two people to compete in various skills. They rarely fought in groups. These guys are quite powerful now. What kind of scene would it be if one or two hundred people fought each other?"

"You're almost thirty, and you'll be the father of two kids soon. If Liu Yi were to get involved in a gang fight, would you still be so relaxed and interested?"

Sha Zhu turned his head to look at Liu Yi who was playing with various wooden toy guns on the bed and said, "Him? You know what, in order for him to not suffer any loss in future fights, I have to train him in advance and pass on my wrestling skills to him."

Yu Li stared at Sha Zhu, "You, don't joke around. I don't want my son to be taken away by Da Liu and his gang because of a gang fight in the future."

"What are you thinking? By the time Liu Yi can fight in a group, Da Liu will be the director of a police station and can be on duty all day. Also, you said that those young people who fight in groups are unemployed and have too much energy to vent. Do you think our Liu Yi will be unemployed and have nothing to do in the future? If he wants to be idle, I will find him something to do. Our son will never reach that stage. I have been joking with you all along."

"You scared me to death. I really thought you didn't care about this." Yu Li hit Sha Zhu's arm hard with her fist.

Sha Zhu turned around and said, "Yes, that's it, use more force, and it will feel better."

His action made Yu Li hit him a few more times with more force, and then she started laughing again.

Three days later in the afternoon, Sha Zhu was called away by Secretary Yang and put in a jeep. On the way, Secretary Yang told Sha Zhu not to talk too much when he arrived at the place, just answer whatever the other party asked him and don't say too much.

The car entered a large courtyard guarded by guards and drove deep into the courtyard before stopping in front of a two-story building. There was a jeep parked in front of the building, with a man standing next to it.

As soon as Sha Zhu and Secretary Yang's car stopped, the man ran to the jeep and opened the door.

Sha Zhu said, "Chief Jin, we are old acquaintances, why are you so polite?"

When Jin Dachui saw that it was Sha Zhu, and that it was Secretary Yang sitting on the other side, he quickly ran to the other side to help Secretary Yang open the door, and then he spoke to Sha Zhu: "Am I being polite to you? I was opening the door for our secretary, who knew you were so blind as to sit here."

Secretary Yang didn't know that the two of them knew each other and looked at them with a little surprise.

Jin Dachui explained: "Secretary Yang, Director He and I have known each other for a long time and we have a very good relationship." Jin Dachui has long known that Secretary Yang admires Sha Zhu, and this time when he saw Secretary Yang and Sha Zhu in the same car, he was even more convinced of this situation, so he told Secretary Yang that he and Sha Zhu have a very good relationship.

Secretary Yang smiled and nodded, "Okay, the relationship is very good, there are many friends and few enemies."
