Siheyuan: Bringing Warehouses to 1959

Zeng Wangcai also wanted to know the questions his father asked Director Zhang, but unfortunately he did not get the bottom of it at the steel rolling mill. He only knew that his organizational relationship had been transferred, but his whereabouts were still kept secret.

In other words, unless there are unexpected events, joining the army is basically a done deal.

To be honest, Zeng Wangcai didn't really want to join the army. Although there were many benefits to being a soldier, he felt that he didn't need it. As long as he could spend ten years in peace and stability, good days would come.

“Who on earth has such powerful means to arrest me without my consent…” With this doubt, Zeng Wangcai walked into the street office.

At this time, Zeng Youqian was verifying with the people from the conscription office.

"You came just in time." Zeng Youqian said quickly when he saw his son, "They said you signed up voluntarily. What's going on?"

“Dad, I really didn’t…” Zeng Wangcai couldn’t explain clearly, so he went straight to the staff at the conscription office.

A female comrade showed him a form and said, "Here, is this your signature?"

Zeng Wangcai looked at the application form and found that the signature on it was indeed his, but the form was not filled out by him.

"I understand. The old man must know." Zeng Wangcai thought of the physical examination form he filled out some time ago. "Dad, you guys are busy and don't worry about it. Go back first. Aunt Zhang and the others don't know about this. I'll go to the company again."

Director Zhang of the Subdistrict Office saw that there was something fishy about Zeng Wangcai's military service, and expressed relief at Zeng Wangcai's understanding: "This matter really cannot be taken lightly. It is better to find out the truth. Once you have found out, please let us know so that we don't have to worry about it."

She was giving a friendly reminder out of fear that fraud in the conscription would harm Zeng Wangcai.

"Thank you Aunt Zhang, I understand!" Zeng Wangcai was touched by your kindness, went out to see his worried parents off, and then rushed to the steel mill.

The physical examination form was given by Zhou Hongbo. Zhou Hongbo definitely knows something about this matter. When Zeng Wangcai asked him just now, he said in a serious tone that he knew nothing.

What would make a serious cadre do such a thing?

After returning to the steel rolling mill, Zeng Wangcai went to Zhou Hongbo's office again.

"Why are you back again? Logically speaking, you are no longer an employee of the steel mill." Zhou Hongbo said with some guilt.

I have only been working for less than two months and have only received my salary once. This makes me no longer a worker in a steel mill.

Zeng Wangcai stared at Zhou Hongbo: "Old Zhou..."

???

Is the name changing too fast?

Zhou Hongbo couldn't help but frown.

"Is there something wrong with my medical form?" Zeng Wangcai said bitterly, "Is it really okay for you to do this behind the scenes? Even if you want me to join the army, you have to let me know the reason, right? I'm telling you, if you don't tell me everything today, I won't guarantee that I will say anything wrong in certain situations."

Zhou Hongbo was silent for a while, and after thinking for a long time, he advised: "Don't make trouble, this is a good thing for you..."

"Whether it's a good thing or not, that's up to me, the person involved, to say. Just tell me who to contact. If you really can't help me, at least just give me a reminder."

"remind?"

Zhou Hongbo thought about it and felt that he did feel guilty about what he did, but since they specifically asked for someone, he couldn't resist. Anyway, they didn't say that he had to keep his mouth shut, so a reminder would be fine.

"All I can say is, go back there when the time comes!"

"Which way?"

Zeng Wangcai looked in the direction Zhou Hongbo pointed, and then he felt overwhelmed: "This area is so large, can you just be a good person?"

"Shijingshan!" Zhou Hongbo said, "Also, the leader of our First Ministry of Machine Building has inquired about this matter..."

Old man Liu?

I should have thought of him earlier, but this old guy is not in the military. Previously, a few old guys wanted me to go to the Propaganda Department and the Ministry of Agriculture, but I didn't agree, so they pushed me to the army?

Hey, a general named Yang came that day, will he...

The last layer of window paper was broken, and Zeng Wangcai's thoughts became clear. If this matter was really done by Old Man Liu and his group, he really had no idea what to do. He just didn't understand why he went to the army? How to get supplies?

After saying goodbye to Zhou Hongbo, Zeng Wangcai thought for a while at the factory gate and decided to go to the compound to see if there was any chance of meeting Old Man Liu and then confirm it.

Siheyuan, middle courtyard, evening.

The news that Zeng Wangcai was going to join the army had spread. After dinner, several people in the yard gathered at the door of Yi Zhonghai's house to chat about the recent conscription.

"I went to the personnel department to ask, and this is true. Zeng Wangcai's organizational relationship has been transferred." Liu Haizhong said, touching his belly.

"So fast?" Yi Zhonghai frowned. "Something is wrong. Have you noticed that no one came to understand Zeng Wangcai's situation while he was in the army?"

"Old Yi, why don't you care about him? This is a good thing for our courtyard. When Zeng Wangcai goes to the army, he might move out. Our courtyard will be much quieter then." Liu Haizhong felt relieved. After all, he was still brooding over the beating of his son, but Zeng Wangcai's methods were too sophisticated and he had no way to retaliate.

In the entire courtyard, no one is not jealous of the Zeng family. Why is it that everyone else can't even have bran to eat while your family is eating delicious food and drinking spicy drinks?

Eat it if you want. No family in the whole yard can get any advantage.

Because the Zeng family is outside the social circle of the Siheyuan, many people hold the same idea as Liu Haizhong. Since they can't get it, it's better not to see it. If the Zeng family moves away, the Siheyuan will be peaceful, and at least it will be pleasing to the eyes.

Yi Zhonghai understood Liu Haizhong's thoughts and nodded, "Indeed, their family is too selfish and doesn't care about the neighbors at all. Look at how the Jia family is living, and they don't even bother to help."

"Who said it wasn't true?" Jia Zhang heard this and said with resentment, "If it weren't for the uncle helping the village, our family wouldn't be able to make ends meet..."

This old woman has been waiting anxiously for more than a month, ever since Zeng Wangcai started to make a fortune. She hoped that Zeng Wangcai would send some fish or meat to take care of the family, but she never got what he wanted.

"Sister-in-law, I can't count on you anymore." Liu Haizhong patted his belly again and said, "The good days of their family are over. He went to the army and started as an ordinary soldier. He can't run around anymore. Moreover, his monthly allowance is only five yuan, which is much less than what he got at the steel mill. I don't know what's going on in his head..."

The current system is that only platoon-level cadres can get a monthly salary. Ordinary soldiers get five yuan a month in the first year, six yuan a month in the second year, and if they guard the border, they can get an additional three yuan a month.

However, although the money is not much, there is no need to worry about food and drink.

"That's great, he deserves to be stupid. Let's see if he continues to eat alone..." Jia Zhang's resentment seemed to be vented.

At this time, Liu Guangtian came in with one hand hanging. He was on sick leave as he had internal injuries. He would be fine after his arm was reconnected, but he insisted on keeping it hanging, saying that he wanted to let everyone in the hospital see how cruel Zeng Wangcai was.

"Wait a minute, where have you been?" Liu Haizhong noticed that his son's face looked strange, so he stopped him and asked.

Liu Guangtian turned around and looked at the front yard and said angrily: "I'm going to report it. You still want to join the army, grandma!"

Liu Haizhong: ...
