Siheyuan, Me and the Yu Sisters

In the courtyard, Zhang Renkang and Yu Li were cooking. They came back early and sent Yan Bugui away at the gate. After returning home, Yu Li hung the washed clothes on the wire in the toilet, and then helped Zhang Renkang clean the house. The two discussed that after the temperature got warmer at the end of the month, they would tidy up Yu Li's room and connect it with Zhang Renkang's master bedroom, completely connecting the three rooms of the west wing with an area of ​​more than 80 square meters, and then tidy up the deaf old lady's room.

Zhang Renkang thought about it recently and decided that it would be better for him to stay in the courtyard for the time being. If he turned the backyard into his own private courtyard, it would be too eye-catching next year. At this stage, he should keep a low profile. It would be best to just merge Yu Li's house in, and clean up the two rooms of the deaf old lady and turn them into two bedrooms and a storage room. For major changes, he should wait until after the 1980s to consider whether to move out or remodel it.

Zhang Renkang was discussing with Yu Li how to decorate the house when suddenly there was a series of knocks on the door. Zhang Renkang looked out the kitchen window and saw Liu Haizhong and the second aunt, the first aunt, Yan Bugui and his wife, Liu Donglai from the front yard, and Qin Huairu from the middle yard standing in the yard. Zhang Renkang got up to open the door in confusion. As soon as he stepped out of the door, the first aunt knelt in front of Zhang Renkang, holding his thigh and crying.

"Renkang, I beg you, please save my old Yi."

Zhang Renkang dodged to the side, unable to break free, so he looked up expressionlessly at the people standing in the yard and asked:

"What happened? Can someone explain it to me?"

Liu Haizhong sighed and said

"Renkang, the leaders of the factory went to Lao Yi's workshop this afternoon. They said that Lao Yi and several other old technicians had ideological problems and were sabotaging construction. What kind of landlords are they?"

Qin Huairu on the other side quickly explained

"He is a technical landlord, a bad element in the ranks of the workers and a capitalist revisionist. He must be overthrown. I heard that he may be sent to labor reform in the northwest."

Liu Haizhong quickly continued

"Yes, yes, technical landlord, the factory has taken Lao Yi and several level 8 workers away and locked them up, saying they will hold a mass criticism meeting tomorrow and then send them to the northwest for labor reform."

Liu Haizhong no longer has the feeling of gloating over other's misfortune. He has been fighting with Yi Zhonghai openly and secretly. It's okay to deal with Yi Zhonghai, but he can't do it to beat him to death. On the one hand, Liu Haizhong is celebrating that he had a fight with Yi Zhonghai in the past. In order to prove that he is better than Yi Zhonghai, he has trained many apprentices. Now he has become the object of commendation in the factory and the deputy leader of the study group in their forging workshop. On the other hand, he is really worried that Yi Zhonghai will be sent to the northwest. They are all old now, and they may never come back after this trip.

(Going to the Northwest to support and going to the Northwest to do labor reform are different. At least the treatment of those who go to support is good, and they have family leave every year, and they can be transferred back after a certain period of time. Those who go to the Northwest to do labor reform are no different from criminals. Not only are they monitored, but they also have the worst food and accommodation. They are not allowed to move independently for a certain period of time, and they are pulled out for public criticism and struggle from time to time. Almost no one survives.)

Yi Zhonghai's wife cried and pulled Zhang Renkang's left leg and said

"Renkang, please be kind and save Lao Yi. If he is really sent to the Northwest for forced labor, he will die."

Zhang Renkang looked at Yi Zhonghai's wife kneeling on the ground and sighed.

"You get up first. I have to go to the factory to find out what's going on. Even if you tell me everything now, I still don't know what's going on."

Zhang Renkang didn't care about Yi Zhonghai's life or death, but it was not right to let an old lady kneel here. There were so many neighbors watching, so he couldn't create an image of being inhumane and cold-blooded. He continued

"The neighbors in the yard are watching us. It's not appropriate for you, an elder, to do this to me."

"Everyone knows what's going on between me and Yi Zhonghai, but we're from the same factory after all. How should we deal with it? I'll go to the factory tomorrow to find out and we'll talk about it when I come back, okay?"

Zhang Renkang's words made everyone feel comfortable. Everyone knew about the conflict between Yi Zhonghai and Zhang Renkang. It was good that Zhang Renkang did not take advantage of the situation and ridicule him. Not to mention that Zhang Renkang was willing to come forward to help inquire about it, which was even more righteous.

Yan Bugui suddenly asked

"Renkang, aren't you also a section chief? Weren't you in the factory when Lao Yi got into trouble?"

Liu Donglai said with a smile

"Second uncle, your information is outdated. Ren Kang is now the director of the logistics department."

Yan Bugui said excitedly

"Renkang, you, you are the director? Your rank is raised too quickly, isn't it?"

Zhang Renkang shook his head and smiled

"Deputy, deputy, just deputy"

As he watched Liu Haizhong's wife and Qin Huairu help Yi Zhonghai's wife up, he continued

"Second Uncle, you don't know the division of labor in our factory. I'm in the logistics department, in charge of the kitchen and warehouse. This workshop is managed by the production department. How can I know what's going on in the production department? If their leaders have any problems, they report to the factory director. They can't inform me."

"Besides, I wasn't in the factory this afternoon. You don't know when I'll be back, right?"

Yan Bugui and his son even gave Zhang Renkang a cigarette this afternoon. Yan Jiecheng worked in the unloading department for less than ten days last year and quit because he couldn't hold on. Now he is doing odd jobs at home. As soon as Zhang Renkang and Yu Li came back today, Yan's father and son came up to him to get close to him. Yan Bugui is still dreaming of asking Zhang Renkang to help him get Yan Jiecheng to work as an apprentice in the kitchen.

Liu Haizhong nodded and said

"It's already three o'clock in the afternoon for Lao Yi's matter. Ren Kang probably doesn't know. We can only wait and see the result tomorrow."

"Alas, Lao Yi advised me to keep it a secret before, but I didn't take it seriously. Who knew that things would get to this point? Lao Yi has been too arrogant in recent years. I think the factory is really going to give them a good beating this time."

When Yi Zhonghai's wife heard this, she felt choked up and started crying again. Qin Huairu on the side kept comforting her, but she was also worried. Without Yi Zhonghai's care in the workshop, could she bear this? Qin Huairu had relied on Yi Zhonghai's care in the workshop and was famous for being sneaky and slippery. In addition, she was a bit pretty and was often taken advantage of by the workshop director Guo Bohua. Considering his conscience, Guo Bohua turned a blind eye and pretended not to see it. What should she do in the future?

Qin Huairu was actually very flustered today. She knew her own limitations and was not competent for the work in the workshop. Looking at Zhang Renkang who was talking, Qin Huairu suddenly had an idea. Before, Qin Jingru came back to the village with so many things and said that she was also a worker. She suspected that Zhang Renkang and Qin Jingru had some relationship, otherwise how could Qin Jingru know any city people? The only one who could find a job for Qin Jingru was Zhang Renkang.

Qin Huairu asked around in the factory for a long time but couldn't find out where Qin Jingru worked. She decided to find Qin Jingru and find out the relationship between Zhang Renkang and Qin Jingru. Maybe she could get Zhang Renkang to take her to work in the kitchen. This way, not only would she be more relaxed, but she would also have the opportunity to improve the food for her family.

Zhang Renkang and Liu Haizhong learned about what happened in the factory this afternoon, and they had a rough idea of ​​what was going on. Zhang Renkang left early today because he guessed that Li Huaide was going to cause trouble in the afternoon, so he deliberately avoided it. The world is so helpless, it is better to stay away. It is okay to give advice from the back, but he will not let Zhang Renkang charge to the front, especially with the background of his second uncle, Zhang Renkang is qualified to say

Zhang Renkang listened to what Liu Haizhong and Liu Dong said. Qin Huairu also added something, and then said to Yi Zhonghai's wife

"You see, I really don't know what happened this afternoon. I will go and ask tomorrow. Although Yi Zhonghai and I don't get along, I, Zhang Renkang, will not add insult to injury here. We should settle our grievances among ourselves."

"I'll have a clear understanding of the factory tomorrow. How about asking an old man to discuss it?"

"You are making things difficult for me, and I can't do anything about it, don't you think?"

Seeing that Zhang Renkang was willing to help find out the situation, Yi Zhonghai's wife cried and said

"Renkang, I know that Zhonghai has let you down. He has done a lot of stupid things. I really have no other choice but to ask you to help him."

"You must help him tomorrow. If he goes to the northwest, I won't be able to survive."

Then he said to Liu Haizhong

"Uncle, you must save our Hai."

With Liu Haizhong's assurance, Yi Zhonghai's wife was pulled back to the middle courtyard by the first and second aunties and Qin Huairu. Zhang Renkang looked at the aunties who left and found that Qin Huairu looked back at him inexplicably, not knowing what it meant.
