Soul of the Siheyuan: Zhuzi, I can still give birth

A few days later, He Yuzhu brought Ran Qiuye back.

Ran Qiuye has been pregnant for three months and her belly has obviously grown several sizes bigger.

Many people said that Ran Qiuye might be pregnant with twins, otherwise it would be impossible for a three-month-old belly to be five months old like others.

Hearing this, the Ran family and the He family were extremely happy, especially He Yushui, as she was going to have a nephew or niece soon.

So every time he came back from vacation, he would keep circling around Ran Qiuye's belly, fearing that his sister-in-law would fall.

Without Jia Zhang's courtyard, things became much quieter and no one caused trouble anymore.

However, just because Jia Zhangshi doesn't cause trouble doesn't mean that everything is fine in the courtyard.

Look, something happened to Yi Zhonghai.

The cause of the incident was that in the steel rolling mill's work grade examination, too many people were successfully promoted, which exceeded the expectations of the leaders.

It is a good thing for the workers to be promoted, and the factory leaders should be happy.

However, according to feedback from workshop directors and section chiefs, the workmanship of many workers simply does not meet the standards for upgrading.

But this time, they all passed the exam smoothly, which is very unscientific.

Director Yang recalled that a few days ago, a workshop director came to report that someone had reported that Yi Zhonghai had accepted bribes in order to pass the work-level examination.

Could this be true?

But there is nothing we can do now. No one has admitted it, and there is no witness or evidence. There is nothing we can do about this matter.

For this purpose, the factory held a secret meeting to discuss how to deal with this matter.

A group of leaders thought about it for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution.

Some people suggested reporting the case directly to the police and letting them intervene.

But it was rejected.

If this matter is eventually discovered, the leaders of the factory will definitely be implicated, so this matter must not be known to outsiders.

Some people also said that this exam was invalid.

But it was opposed again.

So many people passed the exam this time. If it were announced that they failed, the workers would definitely cause trouble.

Just when all the leaders were at a loss, Director Yang looked at He Yuzhu who was dozing off in the corner.

This kid has a lot of ideas, he will definitely find a way to solve this problem.

"Director He, please tell me if there is any way to solve this problem. If you can't come up with a solution today, you won't be able to leave work."

He Yuzhu was still waiting to go back early to pick up his wife.

Now that Director Yang has done this, how can I leave work?

He Yuzhu is living a very leisurely life now.

The reception dishes in the third canteen are now prepared by Fatty.

Although the fat man in his previous life was not a good person, the fat man in this life, with the help of his master, now follows He Yuzhu wholeheartedly.

And this kid is really talented, and he has learned about 50% to 60% of his skills.

As for Ma Hua, although he lacks talent, he works very hard, so his skills are not bad either.

They were responsible for preparing the reception dishes for the third canteen, which made He Yuzhu feel much more relaxed.

Now that Director Yang has called upon me to serve on the battlefield, if I don't accept the challenge, I'm afraid I won't be able to escape.

He Yuzhu stood up and stretched.

Then he said slowly.

"Isn't this a problem that can be easily solved? Gather together those who are suspected of cheating and test them one by one. If their craftsmanship does not meet the standards and they refuse to tell the truth, they will be demoted to a lower level and will not be allowed to take the work-level exam for three years."

All the leaders in the factory were overjoyed.

This method is good.

You don't admit it, and you still don't tell the truth. Then I will demote you directly and won't allow you to take the work grade exam for three years. Let's see if you stubborn people can still keep talking nonsense.

A workshop director slapped his thigh and said to Director Yang.

"Director Yang, Director He's method is good. I don't believe we can't catch the person behind this."

Director Yang nodded and looked at Deputy Director Li Huaide standing beside him. The two exchanged glances and the matter was finalized.

After Li Huaide learned that the person behind the cheating was Yi Zhonghai, he felt a sense of hatred for having his wife taken away from him.

In his opinion, Qin Huairu was originally his thing, and this Yi Zhonghai actually dared to share Qin Huairu with him. It was simply outrageous.

If it is found out that Yi Zhonghai is really behind this, he will definitely not be let off easily.

After the meeting, He Yuzhu was the first to escape from the meeting room.

If I stay there, who knows what kind of job Director Yang will assign me.

Director Yang was looking for He Yuzhu at this time, and found that the boy had already run away. He was so angry that he stomped his feet.

He originally wanted to hand the matter over directly to He Yuzhu. He was the one who thought of the solution, so naturally he would arrange its implementation.

I didn't expect that this kid was so busy hiding that he disappeared.

"You run really fast, little brat!"

Director Yang cursed and handed the matter over to Deputy Director Li Huaide.

Li Huaide happily accepted the task and went out.

Before the end of get off work that day, the factory broadcast an announcement that all workers who had passed the work-level examination would be organized to re-examine the next day. Everyone must participate and may not refuse under any excuse.

If you are absent, you will be deemed to have failed the exam and will be demoted to a lower grade as punishment.

This made many workers who had passed the exam by cheating panic in an instant.

Many people originally wanted to use illness as an excuse to not take part in tomorrow's re-examination.

But I heard that if you don’t come to participate, not only will the exam not count, but you will also be demoted one level.

This is not possible, absolutely not possible. Downgrading one level means losing more than ten yuan per month.

Those workers who had bribed Yi Zhonghai went to Yi Zhonghai and asked him what to do.

Yi Zhonghai began to comfort them.

It's normal to say this. There are suddenly more people passing the exam this time. It's understandable that the factory has some concerns. I will continue to give them leeway tomorrow.

Finally, I would like to tell everyone not to worry, just go home and have a good rest, and don’t worry about tomorrow’s re-examination.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was nonchalant and confident, everyone felt relieved. After all, since they had paid the money, Yi Zhonghai had to guarantee that we passed the exam.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care about this re-examination. Such things had happened before and ended up in nothing.

But Qin Huairu is different.

She felt a sense of crisis and wanted to go find Li Huaide to ask, but found that there was no one in the office.

The children in the family are now being taken care of by the third uncle's home. Every month Yi Zhonghai pays the third uncle's family ten yuan plus fifteen kilograms of corn flour.

Although the money and grain were not much, it was a considerable income for the third uncle's family.

Banggeng had to go to school. When he went to school in the morning, he brought a lunch box with him. The lunch box contained steamed bread and pickles, and he didn’t have to come back to eat at noon.

So at the third uncle's house, Xiaodang, who was only four years old, and Xiaohuaihua, who was over one year old, could not eat anything at all.

Those food and money were like they had been picked up for free.

It’s not a big deal to leave the child at my uncle’s house in the morning and take him home after get off work in the evening.

He Yuzhu picked up Ran Qiuye from school. It was the weekend and He Yushui was already picking and washing vegetables at home.

The deaf old lady sat next to them watching TV and helping to pick vegetables. They looked very happy.

Xu Damao also carried the old hen he had bought and happily went to the backyard, humming a little tune in his joy.

Qin Jingru has been to the hospital for a check-up and is confirmed to be pregnant. Pregnant women need nutrition, so Xu Damao would buy an old hen every day and stew it for Qin Jingru.

Every time Xu Damao saw He Yuzhu, he would show off in front of him and brag about his glorious feat of being a father.

He Yuzhu still ignored him as usual, which made Xu Damao so angry that he could only go back to the backyard with gritted teeth.

"Zhu Zi, why do you always go against Xu Damao? We are all neighbors, and we should live in peace with each other."

Ran Qiuye, with her bulging belly, accompanied the deaf old lady to watch TV while speaking to He Yuzhu who was looking smug at the door.

"Qiuye, Zhuzi and Xu Damao are a pair of enemies. They have been fighting since they were young. If they don't quarrel a few times a day, they will feel uncomfortable all over. Don't bother with them."

The deaf old lady said aside.

She watched He Yuzhu and Xu Damao grow up, and she knows this pair of bickering lovers very well.

After hearing what the deaf old lady said, Ran Qiuye stopped talking, because it was always Xu Damao who provoked first and her man just dealt with it.

So I can’t blame my man, it’s all Xu Damao who is causing trouble.

Qin Huairu was washing a basin of clothes in the yard, but she was thinking about the re-examination tomorrow.

She always felt a little uneasy in her heart, thinking that something would definitely happen tomorrow.

Maybe this is a woman's sixth sense.

It turned out to be just as Qin Huairu had expected.

On the second day of the re-examination, the chief examiner was not Yi Zhonghai, but Liu Haizhong.

This was also proposed by He Yuzhu.

This time, the suspect Yi Zhonghai cannot be allowed to invigilate the exam.

Replaced by level 7 blacksmith Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong is a power-hungry person. If the factory lets him be the chief examiner instead of the deputy examiner this time.

He will definitely work hard and will never do anything for personal gain or corruption.

Yi Zhonghai, who was originally confident, became panicked when he learned that he was no longer the chief examiner of the re-examination and that he had been replaced by Liu Haizhong, who had always been at odds with him.

Liu Haizhong has always been the elder uncle to him, and his second uncle is still brooding over this matter.

Now that Liu Haizhong is the chief examiner, he will definitely not show favoritism in order to perform well in front of his superiors, even if you beg him.

However, Yi Zhonghai still decided to go find Liu Haizhong and give it a try, just in case there was any hope.

"Second uncle, I have something to discuss with you."

Yi Zhonghai found Liu Haizhong and wanted to discuss something with him.

Liu Haizhong also heard about Yi Zhonghai's favoritism and cheating when he was invigilating, so he knew why Yi Zhonghai suddenly came to him.

"I'm sorry, but I have a heavy responsibility today, and I won't cheat for personal gain. I will never wrongly accuse a good person, but I won't let a bad person go either."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong walked towards the examination workshop. When he came to Yi Zhonghai, he added another sentence.

"If you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. Think carefully about how to explain to the factory!"

After saying that, Liu Haizhong went to the workshop.

Yi Zhonghai slumped down on the ground, muttering to himself.

"It's over, it's all over!"

After a morning of re-examination, almost one-third of the candidates failed the exam, about twenty people in total.

Half of the reason for this was because I was nervous about the re-examination, coupled with Liu Haizhong’s strict requirements, so I didn’t do well in the exam, but it wasn’t because of any major technical problems.

Therefore, the factory decided to give this group of people a chance to retake the exam. If they can pass it, they will be promoted to a higher grade.

As for the other half, their skills were totally unsatisfactory yet they still passed the exam, which shows how much water there is in this.

Director Yang and his colleagues gathered these dozen smuggled goods together and asked them one by one what was going on.

But this group of people still insisted that they didn't perform well today.

Director Zhang was so angry that he pointed at these people and said.

"Okay, you won't say anything, right? You're talking about loyalty, right? Okay, write down your names for me, and all of you will be demoted one level. You won't be able to take the labor grade exam within three years. I'll let you be loyal."

After hearing what Director Yang said, the dozen or so counterfeit goods turned pale with fright and begged for mercy.

"Director Yang, this is not our fault. It was Yi Zhonghai. He charged us 100 yuan each and guaranteed that we would pass the exam 100%. It really has nothing to do with us. Director Yang, please don't demote us."

More than a dozen people were crying and holding onto Director Yang, refusing to let go, which made Director Yang feel very sick.

No matter how Director Yang struggled, he couldn't break free. He had no choice but to agree not to demote them.

But one month's salary must be deducted as punishment for their cheating.

These dozen or so smuggled goods had one month's wages deducted, and they all expressed their gratitude to Director Yang.

After all, my work grade has been saved, so I can afford the punishment of having one month's salary deducted.

After this group of counterfeit goods were driven out, Yi Zhonghai was the next to go.

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's weak look, the factory leaders looked at him angrily.

"Yi Zhonghai, Yi Zhonghai, you are an eighth-level worker. What have you done? You only get one hundred yuan per person. This is a crime. Tell me, what are you going to do? If nothing works, report it to the police!"

Director Yang was so angry that his face turned red and his hands were shaking as he pointed at Yi Zhonghai.

As one of the few eighth-level workers in the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, Yi Zhonghai is a treasure.

I didn't expect that he would do such a thing.

Yi Zhonghai sat down on the ground, he didn't know what to do.

But you must never report to the police.

With this thousand-plus yuan, I must eat peanuts.

"Director Yang, I was confused for a moment. Considering that I have worked in the steel mill for decades, even if I have no merit, I have worked hard. Please forgive me this time. As long as you don't report it to the police, I can accept any punishment."

Director Yang saw Yi Zhonghai crying and snotting, and I couldn't bear to see him being taken away.

So he sighed and said.

"I will return all the money you collected and deduct three months' salary from you. Your level 8 worker status will be reduced by half to level 4 worker. You will never be able to take the worker level exam again, but you will still be doing the work of a level 8 worker."

I heard that I was demoted from a grade 8 worker to a grade 4 worker, and would never be able to take the upgrade exam.

In other words, I will be a level 4 worker for my entire life, earning 52.80 yuan per month.

The difference is almost half every month.

But if you don't agree, the police will be notified and you will be dead.

In the end, Yi Zhonghai had no choice but to nod and agree to return all the money he had collected.

Three months' salary will also be deducted.

With just this one blow, Yi Zhonghai was beaten to a pulp.

I didn't get paid for three months, and then my salary was cut in half, to just over 50 yuan a month. It sounds like a lot, but I have a whole family to support, so what will I do in the future?

Yi Zhonghai returned to the workshop with a sad face.

However, this time it was an internal notification, not a full-audience notification, also to save face for Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had already spent part of the money he collected, so he could only refund part of it first, and pay back the rest slowly later.

Looking at his empty pockets and thinking about his future life, Yi Zhonghai sighed.

"Damn it, ever since I got involved with Widow Qin, it's like I've been infected with the plague. Nothing goes well for me."

Yi Zhonghai thought that ever since he had been with Widow Qin, he had been unlucky and nothing had gone well for him.

Even so, Yi Zhonghai has not figured out how to tell Qin Huairu about this when he returns. Also, he will have no income for at least half a year.

All the money has to be used to pay off debts. How can I live like this?
