Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

Early the next morning, when Yi Bufan woke up, Xu Xiaoran was already washing up.

"You got up so early!" Yi Bufan yawned and got out of bed, but was stunned when he saw Xu Xiaoran: "Didn't you sleep well?"

Xu Xiaoran now has heavy dark circles under her eyes, which is definitely caused by staying up late.

"No, it's fine!"

Xu Xiaoran thought that it was impossible for her to sleep well, with a naked stranger sleeping next to her. What if she fell asleep and was...

"I'll take you to work first, and then I'll report to the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill."

Yi Bufan also got up quickly. Maybe because she had seen it several times, Xu Xiaoran didn't care that Yi Bufan was getting dressed in front of her.

Of course, it could also be that you feel that the other person has a good figure.

"No, I can go by myself. By the way, can you find the Red Star Steel Mill?"

Xu Xiaoran really had some doubts.

"Should be able to. Aren't most people in this yard from the Red Star Steel Mill? I'll just follow them."

Yi Bufan adjusted his clothes in front of the mirror and they looked fine.

"Your collar!"

Xu Xiaoran turned around and helped Yi Bufan tidy up.

"Are you the new Yi Bufan?"

Just as he walked to the pond in the middle courtyard, Yi Bufan ran into Xu Damao.

"you are?"

Yi Bufan looked at Xu Damao in front of him. He should be considered more handsome than Sha Zhu. However, his mouth was crooked and looked a bit ugly.

"My name is Xu Damao, I'm a projectionist at the Red Star Steel Mill. I went to the countryside to show movies yesterday and came back in the evening. I live in the backyard."

Xu Damao said this, looked behind him, and pulled Yi Bufan outside.

He naturally didn't know that Xu Xiaoran, who was just about to follow Yi Bufan out, was very glad that he slowed down a few steps.

Just as he walked out of the small courtyard, he heard Xu Damao's voice and quickly retreated.

"Let me tell you, the people next door to your yard aren't good people, so you better be careful."

"That idiot Zhu is always looking for trouble and is not happy with everyone. If you offend him, you will be in trouble because the old man is protecting him."

"The old woman from the Jia family on the other side is born unreasonable. She can turn white into black, and throw a tantrum when she can't win an argument."

"From now on, if you have any problems, just come to me!"

Xu Damao spoke only after he took Yi Bufan out of the courtyard gate.

"Okay, thank you, brother."

Yi Bufan also nodded seriously.

Since I'm new here, I should just call you brother. It's not a loss anyway.

"By the way, where are you going?"

Xu Damao took Yi Bufan and walked about a hundred meters before he remembered to ask. It seemed that the direction they were walking was the direction he went to work.

"Oh, it's my first day at work today. I'm reporting to the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill!"

Yi Bufan smiled and fiddled with the army green shoulder bag on his shoulder.

"What? Then we don't work together."

"Good job, the security department is great, it's impressive, you can carry guns, real guns, the kind with bullets."

Xu Damao's expression was exaggerated, as if he wanted to work in the security department.

"I don't dare to open it even if I have one. It's against the law to kill people."

Yi Bufan didn't want to play with guns.

"Look at what you said. Can we kill people at will? If we shoot, we will definitely target reactionaries."

"Wait, I'll take you to report. I know Chief Leng of the Security Department. If you have any problems in the future, come to me!"

Xu Damao usually shows movies and has a lot of contact with leaders. Regardless of whether he can get things done or not, at least he gets to know some people.

"Okay, thank you, Brother Mao."

Yi Bufan naturally didn't know that the person in front of him was his real brother-in-law.

"Call me Brother Mao, then we are brothers. Come to my house tonight for a drink and let your sister-in-law show you how to cook. She can cook some Tan family dishes, which are pretty good."

Xu Damao felt that as long as there were newcomers coming to the Siheyuan, there was a hope that they would become his team and deal with the gang led by Shazhu Jia Dongxu.

What's more, Yi Bufan is from the security department, which makes it even better.

"Okay, I'll go back and tell my wife."

Yi Bufan didn't expect that Xu Damao would invite him to drink as soon as he arrived.

But, can Lou Xiao'e really cook?

"Oh, that's fine. You're getting married at such a young age. Bring your sister-in-law with you. I'll help you find out. If it doesn't work out, you can get a divorce. I'll introduce my sister to you."

Xu Damao was indeed surprised. In the courtyard, people of Yi Bufan's age seemed to be still single.

"Brother Mao, I haven't been married for long, you can't expect me to get divorced!"

Yi Bufan almost slapped him.

"Haha, what a slip of the tongue. I just want to be your uncle."

Xu Damao said this and pointed to the Red Star Steel Mill not far ahead.

"The security department has a lot of power. They can take care of anything that happens in the factory, and they don't have to listen to the factory leaders."

"However, the responsibility is also great. The safety of this factory with 10,000 employees depends on you, the security department."

Yi Bufan listened to Xu Damao's words and followed him in.

On the outer wall it was written: Grasp the revolution, promote production, promote work, and promote construction.

Crowds of people were rushing in at the gate.

The work clothes worn by men and women are similar, all dark blue clothes and pants, and most people also wear hats of the same color.

"Xiao Wu, call your Section Chief Leng, my brother is here to report."

Xu Damao started greeting people as soon as he walked into the door.

"Are you Yi Bufan?"

Not long after, a middle-aged man came over.

"Yes, this is a letter of introduction, and this is a job letter."

Yi Bufan took out the information and handed it over.

"Well, you've been a soldier, not bad. You should follow Xiao Wu first and get familiar with the factory."

After Chief Leng finished speaking, he looked at Xiao Wu and said, "Explain our responsibilities to Comrade Yi Bufan."

"Yes!"

Xiao Wu stood at attention and saluted, then turned around and walked in with Yi Bufan.
