Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

After Chen Xu left, Mr. Liu, who was still drinking tea, laughed out loud.

"You also do things carelessly sometimes, which is rare."

The old man listened to his old friend's words and thought carefully about what happened. He didn't expect Chen Xu to refuse directly. After all, in most people's minds, such opportunities are hard to come by.

He even thought of taking Chen Xu as his godparent and then transferring both of them to the public security system, but he didn't expect that things would turn out differently than he expected.

After thinking about it carefully, the old man sighed and found that he seemed to be anxious.

He also knew something about Chen Xu's character. He investigated him in detail, especially the past two years since he came to Sijiu City. He was mediocre in the first year and even had difficulty supporting himself. Later, he suddenly became steady.

He investigated the matter carefully with great interest and finally came to the same conclusion as the deaf old lady.

Chen Xu's conditions were obvious to all at the time, and a quick check would reveal that if he had not been lucky, he would have probably starved to death.

The old man obviously didn't know that this had nothing to do with luck. The original incarnation really starved to death. The current Chen Xu has become a different person, but most people would never think of such a person.

He also thought that Chen Xu's temperament changed drastically after experiencing life and death, and this kind of thing was actually not uncommon.

Many new recruits on the battlefield cannot even hold a gun steadily at first, but after experiencing the test of life and death, they can quickly transform and eventually become a qualified soldier.

Chen Xu's situation is somewhat similar to this. There is great terror between life and death, but once people come out of it, various changes are likely to occur. Some become unscrupulous, some become indifferent to fame and fortune, and there are traces of all this.

Mr. Liu next to him thought that the old man had got the order wrong.

"Old Li, tell me, if you take a godchild first and then bring up this matter, will it work?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, smiled bitterly, and said, it is indeed possible.

Now his relationship with Chen Xu is just that of friendship regardless of age difference, which is far from the level of interest binding. With Chen Xu's character of not taking action until he sees the rabbit, there is really no way he would agree to let his wife take the risk.

Now, the godparenting plan is probably over. If someone talks about taking in a godparent now, Chen Xu might think that it’s targeting his wife.

The old man probably didn't expect that even if he proposed to take in a godson, Chen Xu would have to think twice. After all, not everyone can know the future trend as accurately as he does.

There are many big guys nowadays, but Chen Xu is only familiar with those who were famous in his previous life. He has heard of some of the others, but he knows nothing about most of them.

He has no impression of the old man. If he knew the old man's position, he probably would not agree.

He had heard about some major events of this era. For example, he knew that when the wind blew, the chief of the Public Security Bureau of Sijiu City was no longer the old man he is today, but a very famous guy.

Liu Chuanxin.

This person was concurrently serving as the director of the Public Security Bureau when the storm started, and what he did was very inhumane.

These had nothing to do with Chen Xu, but he remembered that Liu Chuanxin was promoted by those four notorious guys, and he thought that the old man would not have a good ending at that time.

However, the information Chen Xu knew now was limited. He still thought that the old man was a retired cadre, so he naturally wouldn't think about it that way.

Walking alone on the streets of the old city, Chen Xu always felt that Director Li had not completely given up the idea.

I was thinking that as soon as the steel mill started operating, I should quickly take care of Lin Chan's matter to avoid any more trouble.

Noticing the falling snowflakes, Chen Xu looked up at the sky and thought, he couldn't go back to the countryside today.

If it were a normal day, it would be fine. But in this kind of weather, it would probably be midnight by the time we get back to the countryside.

Chen Xu naturally had no intention of traveling in the dark on a snowy day, so he simply went straight back to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the gate, Yan Bugui pulled him under the eaves.

"Xiao Chen, have you heard that Sha Zhu is probably going to be sent to labor camp again?"

Chen Xu's expression remained unchanged, he had expected this to happen. Sha Zhu was a repeat offender and would definitely be dealt with severely.

If the crime he was charged with was between education and labor reform, he would definitely be sentenced to the latter given his status, there is no doubt about that.

"Do you know how long the sentence will be?"

Chen Xu didn't care much about Sha Zhu's affairs, but since Yan Bugui asked about it, he couldn't just ignore it, so he simply stood under the eaves and chatted with him.

"I don't know about that. It was only when Director Wang asked me to go to the street office during the day that I realized how serious the matter was."

Yan Bugui's face turned a little dark. Although this matter had nothing to do with him, he was the boss of the courtyard house after all. Fortunately, Liu Haizhong was also scolded with him.

No matter what, since there was a person like Sha Zhu in the courtyard, the two uncles in charge would have to be scolded to some extent. No matter if they took the blame or were vented on by the street office, they could not escape it in the end.

It is estimated that Sha Zhu will not be seen for a long time. Chen Xu felt nothing in his heart. He just asked for trouble.

Chen Xu didn't ask himself if he had ever offended this guy, but this guy kept staring at him as if there was a hole in his brain. He deserved this.

He has been to labor reform once but still hasn't learned his lesson. He really thinks that everyone in the world is his father and should spoil him.

However, he does not know that the courtyard house now is no longer the one where he could do whatever he wanted. With his stubborn temper and outspokenness, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a government official.

The fact that words can cause trouble is vividly demonstrated in this era, and it will be even more serious in a few years.

Yan Bugui actually doesn't care about Sha Zhu's life or death, but the prerequisite is that he is not involved.

Although Director Wang only said a few words to him and Liu Haizhong, he was still a little depressed. After all, he was not young anymore and who would like to be scolded from time to time?

What's more, the training has been so frequent this year that I have almost become a frequent visitor to the street office.

This made him think about resigning from his position as the manager several times. Now the manager of the Siheyuan has no power and is responsible for a lot of trivial matters. If it weren't for some benefits, Yan Bugui would have quit long ago.

At this moment, he was feeling unhappy and wanted to find someone to complain to.

Chen Xu found it funny and tried to persuade him a few times.

"Third Uncle, think about it carefully. If Sha Zhu had been sent to labor camp, the Siheyuan would be much more peaceful now. Wouldn't it be a bit of a loss for you to resign now?"

"Forehead..."

Yan Bugui thought about it for a long time and felt that what Chen Xu said made sense.

There are actually only a few people in the yard who make trouble from time to time, and Sha Zhu is the most restless one among them. If Sha Zhu is really sent to labor reform, it seems to be a good thing for him.

"I'll think about it..."

Looking at Yan Bugui who walked into his house while thinking, Chen Xu couldn't help laughing. He didn't have any opinion on Yan Bugui, or rather, he didn't have any opinion on the people in the Siheyuan.

But there are always evil people who want to harm me.

The siheyuan definitely needs a person in charge. It is impossible for the street office to directly take over the daily trivial matters of the siheyuan. If they really want to do so, no matter how many people the street office has, they will not be enough.

After all, they are not just in charge of the Red Star Courtyard, it's just that their courtyard has been particularly noisy in the past year.
