Siheyuan, my new life

After work in the afternoon, Jia Dongxu sat absent-mindedly in front of his workstation, mechanically polishing the workpiece in his hands. Suddenly, someone patted his shoulder. Jia Dongxu was startled and quickly turned around to see that it was Director Guo from the workshop standing behind him.

Before Jia Dongxu could speak, he heard Director Guo scolding him in dissatisfaction: "Jia Dongxu, you were absent-minded and not working properly this morning. I shouted at the workshop door for a long time just now. Are you pretending not to hear me?"

Jia Dongxu quickly stood up and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Director Guo. I'm really sorry. Something happened at home. I was just thinking about it. Please forgive me."

Director Guo saw that Jia Dongxu had a good attitude, and there were people waiting outside, so he stopped talking: "Okay, Jia Dongxu, someone from the security department is here to ask you to come over. They are waiting for you outside the workshop, go quickly."

Upon hearing this, Jia Dongxu quickly put down the workpiece in his hand. He knew it must be related to his wife, so he hurried towards the workshop door.

After leaving the workshop, Jia Dongxu saw a security guard waiting there. Before Jia Dongxu could speak, he said, "Jia Dongxu? Let's go. Xiao Wenshu wants to see you."

After the security guard finished speaking, he took the lead and walked towards the security department. Jia Dongxu did not dare to delay and quickly followed him.

After entering the Security Department's office building, the security guard took Jia Dongxu directly to the small conference room on the third floor, where the director's clerk Xiao Yan was already waiting.

Jia Dongxu was a little confused. Why was he brought to the small meeting room where the leaders were meeting? And the person waiting here turned out to be the clerk of Director Qin of the Security Department.

Xiao Yan pointed to a chair next to him and said directly: "Comrade Jia Dongxu, I am the clerk of Director Qin of the Security Department of the Steel Rolling Mill. My name is Xiao Yan. Today, I am entrusted by Director Qin to come to you for a talk. Please listen to a recording before we talk." As he said that, he fiddled with a large radio on the conference table for a few times. Suddenly, a very familiar voice came from the machine. Jia Dongxu was about to ask, but Xiao Wenshu waved his hand at him: "Don't say anything now, listen to this recording first, and we will talk later."

Jia Dongxu took out the box of Daqianmen cigarettes from his jacket pocket, took out a cigarette, lit it and took a puff. Then he reacted and was about to offer the cigarette to Xiao Wenshu, but he saw that Xiao Wenshu, who was sitting opposite him, had already taken out a box of Mudan cigarettes from his pocket and struck a match with an expressionless face.

Jia Dongxu didn't have the heart to care about what Xiao Wenshu, who was sitting opposite him, would think of him. He began to be attracted by the content of the recording. The more he listened, the more complicated his expression became. In the end, he collapsed in his chair as if he had lost his soul.

This was not the first time that Xiao Wenshu had listened to this recording. Early this morning, when Deputy Director Guan and several others were taking out the recorder from the detention room, he happened to be in the act. So he was also pulled into the small conference room and listened to the conversation between Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu for the first time.

The first word that came to Xiao Yan's mind at that time was "in cahoots with each other", and the next thing he felt was sadness for the husband of the woman in the recording. He was betrayed by both his wife and master at the same time, and even the children he had raised with great effort for several years were not his own flesh and blood. I guess he would be furious when he knew all this, right?

After work today, out of curiosity and also for work needs, in order to avoid being clueless when the director asked, Xiao Yan asked someone to find out about Jia Dongxu. After receiving the report from the security guard, Xiao Yan shook his head and sighed speechlessly.

As He Daqing tore off Yi Zhonghai's hypocritical mask and the street office removed him from his position as the manager of the courtyard, the neighbors who worked in the steel mill no longer had any scruples and exaggerated the things he had done in the No. 95 courtyard over the years. As for the Jia family, who had a close relationship with Yi Zhonghai, of course they could not escape the fate of being talked about.

You may not know Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu, but Jia Dongxu is Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. He usually relies on Yi Zhonghai and is considered one of the master chefs in the workshop. This guy is a bit arrogant and domineering in the workshop and does not take his fellow workers seriously at all.

So when someone asked about Jia Dongxu, who among the workers in the fitter workshop would say a good word for him?

In particular, this morning an explosive piece of news spread quickly in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill. Yi Zhonghai from the fitter workshop was reported directly to the Security Department by He Yuzhu, the chef of the canteen of the Security Department training base, because he instigated and instigated He Yuzhu to steal state property and colluded with Qin Huairu, the wife of his apprentice Jia Dongxu, to destroy He Yuzhu's reputation. Last night, Director Qin Ming and Deputy Director Xiong Qingshan of the Security Department, as well as Director Chang of the Jiaodaokou Police Station and Director Wang of the Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office, went to the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang to hold a meeting of the whole courtyard. After the meeting, Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were directly taken back to the detention room of the Security Department for detention.

With the outbreak of this news, a series of rumors about Yi Zhonghai that had been circulating in the factory were once again brought up for discussion. In the end, everyone came to the conclusion that Yi Zhonghai was a hypocritical and vicious person, a real villain.

As a result, Yi Zhonghai's reputation as a moral model, which he had been proud of, was completely shattered. Now, when Yi Zhonghai was mentioned, almost everyone would sneer at him with disdain. Even his apprentices now felt that it was a disgrace to have such a master. So they went to the workshop director and asked for a new master. Director Guo couldn't make a direct decision on this, as he had to ask the factory leaders for instructions. So Director Guo had to use all his words to appease these workers, but he had already cursed Yi Zhonghai in his heart.

It is conceivable how exciting the report Xiao Yan received was. Now seeing Jia Dongxu's miserable look like a wooden chicken, Xiao Yan did not feel much sympathy in his heart. Instead, he felt that Jia's mother and son plus the daughter-in-law Qin Huairu were not good people.

The mother, Jia Zhang, relied on the protection of Yi Zhonghai to steal petty things in the No. 95 courtyard, and she would often throw tantrums and act like a scoundrel, which was simply detested by everyone; the son, Jia Dongxu, relied on the status of his master Yi Zhonghai in the workshop and did not learn the skills well. He was always cheating and sly, and was arrogant and domineering. He did not respect the master and did not unite with his fellow workers in the workshop; the daughter-in-law, Qin Huairu, had an unclear relationship with her husband's master and had an affair with him. If it were before liberation, she would definitely be thrown into the pig cage.

Xiao Yan did not say anything to comfort her, but just kept smoking one cigarette after another.
