Siheyuan, my new life

After hearing what Director Qin Ming said, many workers working at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill looked a little unnatural. Most of these people secretly smuggled some scrap steel, scrap iron, and some scrap parts out of the factory. Some took them back to process them a little and use them for other purposes, while some simply stole some scraps and sold them to make some pocket money. Now, after hearing Director Qin of the Security Department publicly announce that he would carry out a long-term and severe crackdown on theft, many people secretly warned themselves that they would never steal again in the future, otherwise once they were caught, they would most likely lose their jobs, because all state-owned factories have clear regulations that employees who break the law and are sentenced will be expelled.

Of course, there are also people who think that their methods are clever and don’t take Qin Ming’s words to heart at all.

Qin Ming waited until everyone at the scene quieted down before continuing: "I will point out Yi Zhonghai's sophistry one by one. There are so many of us here, everyone should analyze whether what I said makes sense."

"Just now Yi Zhonghai said that Jia Dongxu is the only one working in the Jia family, and that the family is in financial difficulty. I just confirmed with Director Wang that the minimum living allowance in Beijing is no less than five yuan per person per month, which means that a family with an average income of no less than five yuan cannot be called a poor family. Jia Dongxu is a second-level fitter at the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, with a basic monthly salary of thirty-eight and sixty yuan. With other subsidies, Jia Dongxu's monthly salary exceeds forty yuan. There are five people in the Jia family, including two children. Even so, their per capita income is eight yuan, far exceeding the national poverty standard of five yuan. How come you, Yi Zhonghai, changed the national poverty standard to eight yuan?"

Yi Zhonghai lowered his head without saying a word, his eyes fixed on a small stone on the ground.

After listening to Director Qin Ming's analysis, everyone present started talking about it. In the past, Yi Zhonghai always said that the Jia family was having a difficult time and hoped that everyone would help out a little for the sake of being neighbors. However, everyone could only show some appreciation for the sake of their reputation.

Now everyone looked at Yi Zhonghai with eyes full of anger. After listening to Director Qin's calculation, they found that the average income of the Jia family was even higher than their own. It was ridiculous that they had been deceived by Yi Zhonghai's sweet words and foolishly donated money and materials to the Jia family. They were so stupid.

Qin Ming coughed dryly, and the discussions at the scene gradually died down. Everyone wanted to hear what Director Qin had to say.

"All residents of No. 95 Siheyuan, as far as I know, although many of your wives and parents do not have formal jobs, they can also do some odd jobs at the street office to earn some money to supplement their family expenses. But what about the Jia family? It is true that Jia Dongxu works alone, but what about his mother Jia Zhang? What about his wife Qin Huairu? What else do they do at home every day besides doing housework and taking care of the children? Why can the elders and wives of other families take odd jobs at the street office in addition to taking care of the family, but what about your Jia family? You, Jia Dongxu, are such a big shot that you still need two people to serve you at home? Yi Zhonghai said that Jia Zhang was ill all the year round, but according to the investigation of our Security Department, it is not the case. This Jia Zhang often steals in the Siheyuan, and often summons Lao Jia and promotes feudal superstition. I don’t know which eye of yours, Yi Zhonghai, saw that Jia Zhang was ill all the year round? What would she look like if she was not ill?"

Qin Ming paused and continued, "Just now Yi Zhonghai told He Yuzhu to bring some leftovers back to the Jia family, and also said that the leftovers in the company cafeteria would have to be thrown away in the end. Everyone should have heard that, right?"

Everyone at the scene shouted loudly: "I heard it."

Qin Ming immediately shouted at Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, raise your head and tell me the truth. Who told you that the leftovers in the company cafeteria were thrown away?"

Yi Zhonghai was so frightened by the angry shout that his whole body trembled, and then he stammered and couldn't utter a complete sentence.

Qin Ming sneered and said: "Yi Zhonghai, if you don't reveal this person today, you are spreading rumors and intending to disrupt the production order of the steel mill."

Yi Zhonghai was so frightened that he shouted: "I didn't spread the rumor. I really heard it from someone else. I don't even know this person."

Qin Ming ignored Yi Zhonghai's sophistry and said loudly to He Daqing who was standing beside him: "Comrade He Daqing, you used to be the deputy director of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill canteen, and now you are the director of the canteen at the Security Department Training Base. Please explain the regulations and specific requirements of your canteen to everyone."

He Daqing nodded quickly, then looked at Yi Zhonghai who was standing in the middle of the courtyard with his head down, spitted on the ground with disdain, and then said: "Old and young men in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai was just talking nonsense. Residents working in the steel rolling mill should know that since the implementation of the ticket system, the food rations of different types of work in our steel rolling mill are also different. However, everyone gets food coupons from the finance department when they are paid, and then uses the food coupons to exchange for meal tickets in our factory cafeteria according to their actual situation. As for vegetable tickets, they pay directly at the logistics department. The logistics department takes the food coupons received to the grain station to buy food and pulls them back to the logistics warehouse. The canteen has to go to the warehouse every morning to collect the food and vegetables prepared for cooking today. The canteen team leader signs at the warehouse, which is considered to be the food owed by the canteen to the warehouse. After the food is sold at noon, the canteen will count all the meal tickets and vegetable tickets received at noon today. , and then the team leader will take the meal tickets and vegetable tickets to the logistics finance and warehouse to settle the accounts. If the actual income from the meals sold that day is inconsistent with the warehouse's delivery records, then all the people in the canteen will have to pay for it out of their own pockets. Because the number of workers eating every day is unstable, there is a high probability that there will be unsold leftovers in the canteen. Generally, in this case, the canteen director and the team leader will let the canteen staff share it, but please remember that the canteen staff actually paid for the leftovers themselves. At present, there are varying degrees of food supply shortages across the country. If the workers in the steel mill heard Yi Zhonghai's words and said that the canteen had thrown away all the leftovers, wouldn't he, Yi Zhonghai, be deliberately provoking the relationship between the workshop workers and the canteen kitchen helpers? It is not even ruled out that Yi Zhonghai is deliberately sowing discord in order to cause unrest in our factory and affect our factory's production order."

Yi Zhonghai, who was standing by, was frightened by He Daqing's last words. If his superiors determined that his behavior was intended to sow discord, he would probably not have enough heads to chop off even if he had ten!
