Siheyuan: From Being Called Shazhu

Chapter 24: The Era of the Grandfather

Here, the affairs of the compound have just been sorted out.

But the things happening at He Yuzhu's workplace are unclear.

Now, whenever He Yuzhu is seen by Master Sun when he enters the office, he will either be insulted without any reason or be ridiculed in a sarcastic manner.

Moreover, this has happened more than once or twice.

This happened to Master Sun not long after the Chinese New Year this year, which was at the end of the Chaku Fruit Kiln.

Even when he went to pay New Year's greetings to Master Sun, if He Yushui hadn't been with him, He Yuzhu would probably have been in trouble.

no way.

It’s because the entire unit knows Master Sun’s character and has no time every day.

I had time, but I didn’t know Master Sun’s character, so I didn’t dare to talk back.

Only He Yuzhu, who had the time, knew Master Sun's character, and dared to talk back, endured it silently.

oh~~~

I've said too much and it's all tears.

To be honest, He Yuzhu understands Master Sun's current feelings.

Because starting from January, Master Sun’s old troops went directly south.

Suppress the bandits.

Uh-huh!

When Master Sun learned about the letter, he spent the whole day making phone calls in the office, calling his old comrades and leaders one by one. He was so angry that he even cursed them all day.

Although Master Sun had known that he was being left behind and assigned to a post in the Military Control Office long before he entered the city.

Otherwise, think back to when He Yuzhu and Master Sun first met, Master Sun wouldn't have gotten angry just because He Yuzhu called him "old master", right?

However, Master Sun knew it.

When things happened, Master Sun still couldn't accept it.

What is this like?

Just like the older generation of uncles and aunts who have just retired.

They are all very stubborn and like to be serious.

At this time, some of them, just some of them, had just retired and had nothing to do, so they began to doubt themselves.

“Am I getting old?”, “Am I useless?”

Such thoughts keep lingering in their minds day after day, causing them to behave like children in a stubborn and serious manner.

The main reason is that they still want to prove that they are still useful and not old.

After a while, some of them will find new activities to replace work, and naturally they will no longer behave like children.

Yes, or maybe they admit in their heart that they are old, and then just let nature take its course.

The current Master Sun cannot be said to be exactly the same as this old child, but he is almost the same.

Moreover, it is mainly the current Master Sun who belongs to the "second stage of rebellion".

Because the "first phase of rebellion" had been worn away by the constant work right after Master Sun came in.

But now, Master Sun, the "Second Rebellion", is simply invincible.

Yes, Master Sun kept causing trouble for He Yuzhu every day because He Yuzhu was the only one in the unit who could talk back to him and confront him.

He Yuzhu also understood.

To put it more broadly, Master Sun is blaming himself for not being able to help with his future stable life.

He Yuzhu can understand all of this.

However, understanding is understanding.

It doesn't mean He Yuzhu has to bear it.

Especially having to endure Master Sun’s occasional anger and violence.

This little old man.

Sometimes when I was in a good mood, I would exchange a few words with He Yuzhu. When I couldn't win the argument, I would just laugh and curse, "You little bastard," and that would be the end of it.

However, sometimes, some "living father" comrade-in-arms would call him to show off his achievements, which made the old man in a bad mood. He couldn't argue with He Yuzhu, so he started to fight.

It is also euphemistically called "testing your kung fu".

You have to know that this old man has been serving in the army since he was 14 years old, and he has been fighting until he is 50 years old this year.

Moreover, since childhood...

Forget it, let’s not talk about it since childhood.

For example, when I was in the army, I also learned martial arts from Mr. Li and Mr. Huo.

Maybe the old man didn’t learn as much as He Yuzhu, nor did he learn as systematically.

After all, one is an "open class in a lecture hall" and the other is "one-on-one private guidance by a teacher."

However, you can't resist the fact that his kung fu is gained by killing people with swords and guns on the battlefield.

Sometimes, when Master Sun glared, He Yuzhu could really feel what "a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​fire" meant.

When He Yuzhu saw this momentum, he stood still obediently and waited for Master Sun's "education".

There is no way. He Yuzhu’s father in later generations did the same when he taught He Yuzhu a lesson.

Although in terms of momentum, the old man's momentum is at least ten times stronger than He Yuzhu's father in later generations.

This makes the two figures overlap, which is so awkward.

However, He Yuzhu had no choice but to accept the psychological and physiological conditioned reflexes.

Moreover, even if there is a way, would you let He Yuzhu resist?

Pull it down.

Even if He Yuzhu can resist, the prerequisite is that He Yuzhu can do it.

As for now, I can’t do it. I really can’t do it.

Fortunately, Master Sun was just using He Yuzhu to relieve his anxiety.

Whenever He Yuzhu saw that something was not right, he would immediately run out of the unit and go to the next area under the pretext of "visiting", and Master Sun would not stop him.

However, since it keeps raining here, He Yuzhu has to go to the area to visit.

Even Master Sun didn’t have time to relieve his anxiety.

Mainly, the cooperation notice came from Shanghai.

The one they caught there, whose surname was "Niu", was a former employee of the Japanese and now worked for the gang leaders. He stayed behind and hid... Uh... Um. (Note 1)

According to this person's confession.

Now in the city of Sijiu, there are people with the same identity as her hiding.

None of this is the point.

The point is, based on this person's experience.

No one can guarantee whether there are people in Beijing who have been bribed or instigated as in Shanghai.

As it turns out, the "temporary workers" like He Yuzhu who were recruited later are better off.

They have clean financial records and are local residents.

With a little investigation, you can find out the growth and life trajectories of these people from childhood to adulthood.

So we can continue to work.

But the formal ones are slow to review.

They come from all over the world.

Little by little, level by level, cross-comparison.

He Yuzhu estimated that it would take at least two or three months to complete the review.

In this way, we are visiting and investigating those who are hiding.

On one side is internal review.

After the first stage is over, that is, after the corrupt people inside are caught, and all the people who stayed behind and hid with the man named "Niu" are brought to justice.

Time slowly passed and it was summer.

Just when He Yuzhu and his friends thought that another mission was completed and they could rest for a few days as usual.

The second phase has begun.

Based on the confessions of those who were captured or corrupted.

A network is connected bit by bit.

He Yuzhu and his team must base their investigation on this "network", or in other words, on the confessions.

Go down and continue the investigation.

See if these "networks" are linked to other "networks".

This time, the workload is huge.

You know, it has been at least a year and a half since He Yuzhu and his team joined the "reserve" team, if not almost two years.

During this year and a half, He Yuzhu and his team visited the area countless times.

After so many investigations and visits, it can still be hidden.

Which one can He Yuzhu and others easily find back?

Now, all we can do is wait for these people to reveal their true colors inadvertently.

But this also takes time.

He Yuzhu and his friends are not made of iron. No one can stand chatting with neighbors every day and visiting every household.

What should I do?

Easy to handle.

An order was given directly from above.

"Give full play to the power of the masses."

In other words.

Well. . . . . .

The era of "uncle" has begun.

According to the document, auxiliary "managers" will be arranged according to the existing size of the courtyard.

There is one at the first entrance and two at the second entrance.

In a compound like the one where He Yuzhu lives, of course there are three.

Because the passage between the back house and the hanging flower gate, which is the "first entrance to the courtyard" in the literary sense, does not count and is under the management of the front courtyard.

Now it seems that the responsibility of being in charge is indeed a bit too heavy.

This includes questioning strangers, checking suspicious letters, and actively reporting suspicious persons to the area coordinator, who may temporarily detain or monitor suspicious persons.

Look, if these were put in later times, to be precise, any one of them would be against the law.

But now, that is considered formal.

However, the district coordinators above the managers of these compounds have greater power.

Because the district coordinator can dismiss the compound manager or even replace the compound manager after warning him.

Hehe, and He Yuzhu is the “district coordinator”.

Even in He Yuzhu's area.

Those who are in charge of the compound are all elected at the general meeting of the compound chaired by He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu's area happens to include No. 95 Maoer Hutong, Nanluoguxiang.

To shorten the sentence, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were selected by He Yuzhu.

Well....

Of course, when He Yuzhu presided over the meeting of the whole hospital, Master Sun followed behind him.

The main reason was that when Master Sun heard that He Yuzhu was going back to the courtyard to preside over the general meeting of the courtyard, he deliberately switched shifts with the "regular worker" who was working with He Yuzhu.

Just to be able to play with He Yushui.

This is just great.

He Daqing, who had never paid much attention to other people, took advantage of the opportunity to "avoid suspicion" and withdrew from the election for "manager of the compound".

Master Sun and He Yushui were having a lot of fun teasing each other.

But He Yuzhu had a question.

Now, because he became the "district coordinator", He Daqing did not choose the "compound manager".

Well, if it were according to the normal plot.

How could He Daqing, a "favorite among the leaders", lose the election?

I don’t understand, I don’t understand.

(Note 1: Niu is the prototype of the movie character Liu Nina. I won’t write her name. If you don’t know her, just assume that I am too lazy to name her. If you are curious, you can find out by searching. If you know her, please don’t tell me. Thank you. I want to continue writing.)
