Siheyuan: I Raised Ten Thousand Wild Boars

In front of a simple courtyard, Li Guohua looked around with interest.

This place is just like any other commune brigade headquarters, a one-story brick and tile bungalow with a plaque on the gate that reads "The People's Police Serve the People".

On the walls on both sides were painted red slogans such as "People's satisfaction is the ultimate goal of our work" and so on.

There is a sign hanging on the right side of the yard: Qianmen Police Station.

"Taozi, you are really good. Now you are the director?" Li Guohua and Zhang Tao walked into the office together and said with some surprise.

This is called the director's office, but it is actually just a small room with a work desk, a chair, a file cabinet, and then...that's it.

"Oh, what kind of director? Look at me, I'm not even as comfortable here as I was on the farm!" Zhang Tao said with a smile while busy making tea for Li Guohua.

After more than two years of experience at Chaoyang Farm, under the arrangement of Geng Jinsheng, he was officially transferred from the factory to the police station.

"That's different. Before, you had to listen to others, but now others have to listen to you!" Li Guohua said with a smile.

The progress of good brothers is what makes people happiest.

"Hey, what's the difference? The salary isn't a penny more, and I'm so busy every day that I don't even have time to sleep." Zhang Tao said with a sigh.

At that time, the treatment in the police station was really not as good as that in the factory security department.

First of all, the saying that workers have a stable job is not an exaggeration. Even if you get old or something happens, your son can still take over.

Secondly, there aren’t that many things to do in the factory. Most of the time you just hang out in the factory. You’ll see people everywhere, so there aren’t that many bad things.

Finally, there is the issue of welfare benefits. A factory is a profit-making unit. Not to mention the factory uniforms, gloves, and water bottles, there are also gifts during festivals. It is much better than the police station.

Therefore, many people rushed to be assigned to factories after they retired from the army.

"Hey, stop showing off, kid. With Uncle Geng leading you, it's no problem for you to surpass me!" Li Guohua picked up the teacup, but when he saw that it was Gao Mo, he immediately lost interest.

This stuff is the broken tea foam. Even if you use a filter, you can still drink out the tea residue.

But I also have my own space, and my life is so good that I have forgotten what year it is.

"Guohua, I'm really not bragging. Including me, the instructor, and the police officers, there are only twenty people in our station. It's not even as many as when I was the team leader." Zhang Tao said with a wry smile.

This is also the reality at this time. From rural areas to cities, from farmers to workers, everything is under the leadership of superiors. If there is any problem, just give a greeting and there is no need to involve so many people.

"Haha, that's different, you are the regular army!" Li Guohua laughed.

In his deep-rooted impression, workers are not as professional as the police.

Zhang Tao just didn't want to pay any attention to him after hearing that. The security department has machine guns and cannons, and you call these twenty or so guns of mine regular army. Isn't that chilling?

"I want to tell you something serious. Your house in the factory is empty now. Recently, a neighbor in my yard just came to the factory and didn't have a house yet, so I let him move in first."

"Just stay here. What's there to say? Just stay here until you don't want to live here anymore." Zhang Tao waved his hand and said nonchalantly.

"No, it's a lesbian. I'm not afraid that you will rush around recklessly and see something you shouldn't see. Don't make a fool of yourself!" Li Guohua said with a smile.

"Go to hell, buddy, am I such an impatient person?" Zhang Tao laughed and scolded when he heard Li Guohua making up stories about him.

But you know what, when Zhang Tao heard it was a woman, he had different thoughts in his mind.

"She seems to be 20 years old this year. She graduated from a technical secondary school. She was supposed to be a technician, but because her brother stole things from the factory, she had to leave the factory. Don't ask around when the time comes."

In order to prevent any gossip or rumors in the factory, he thought it would be better to make things clear.

"What does it matter? There's nothing to say. My buddy's friend is my friend. No other questions are asked. You can live in the house freely." Zhang Tao seemed a little dissatisfied with Li Guohua's explanation and patted his chest proudly.

-------------

The song of getting off work finally sounded. Qin Huairu packed up and walked home alone.

After the baby was born, she returned to work not long after, but she has been having a hard time lately.

That Guo Dapiezi is like a dog-skin plaster, sticking to me all day long and saying that he can help me improve.

In fact, anyone who has experienced it can understand his fickle nature.

This situation is actually not uncommon in the factory. Some young wives and widows, as long as they are pretty, are surrounded by many men.

In daily work, it is normal to be taken advantage of and held hands. I heard that several people were even slept with. It's a huge joke.

Qin Huairu had her own persistence. She thought she couldn't do this and couldn't let Jia Dongxu down.

This year is my second year in the factory. Some of the apprentices who entered the factory with me, who were smart, have been converted to regular employees and become first-level workers, earning more than 30 yuan a month.

I do want to do that, but I just cut in regular-number screws and often end up with substandard products. I'm really too embarrassed to mention it.

Guo Dapiezi, in the name of helping students, always pulls me along and teaches me the skills. Recently, he is not satisfied with just pulling hands, and has also started to stick things together, which is really too much.

Yi Zhonghai was not unaware of this matter. In the beginning, he helped himself out twice, but later on, for some reason, he just stopped caring.

I don’t know whether he is afraid of Guo Dapiaozi or has other thoughts, but it’s not good news.

I didn’t dare tell him what Sha Zhu said.

He has a very bad temper, doesn't like to reason, and is used to hitting people with his fists. Last time, he just beat his own sister away.

If I tell him again, and he makes a fuss like that, I might not be able to stay in the workshop anymore.

Even if Guo Da Piezi didn't make things difficult for himself, others would still talk about him behind his back, saying that he was a seductress, that he seduced people, and that his thoughts were wrong, which was why others had such opinions about him.

Anyway, it's the victim-blaming theory, and people will say all kinds of things.

Oh! It's so hard to be a human being.

"Sister Qin! Sister Qin!" An excited voice came from behind me. I knew who it was without turning around.

"Sister Qin, look, Deputy Director Li is treating me at noon today. I saved this big piece of fat meat for you!"

Sha Zhu was carrying a net bag with two lunch boxes in it, his face full of excitement. He was worthy of being the person that Fei Yangyang would offer cigarettes to whenever he saw him.

"Thank you, Zhuzi! Banggeng has been making trouble for me these past few days!"

Qin Huairu reached out to take the lunch box and deliberately squeezed his hand.
