Siheyuan: After I moved in, the compound became a mess

Wang Dabao thought he was confused.

He blinked twice, frowned and looked again. Yes, it was indeed a fire, and it seemed that the fire was burning at Sha Zhu's house in the main courtyard.

Wang Dabao thought about it carefully. It was impossible for Sha Zhu to have nothing better to do than set fire to the house in the middle of the night. The fire might have been set by Bang Geng's kid. He didn't expect that Jia Dongxu's kid was so courageous that he actually set fire to Sha Zhu's house as he said.

There was another knock on the door.

"Dabao, it's Lao Liu. Something big happened in our courtyard." Liu Haizhong's voice came into the house accompanied by a knock on the door.

Wang Dabao was still lying by the window, using the light of the fire to judge the severity of the fire in the middle courtyard. He saw that the lights at the door of Xu Damao's house were also lit up. Then he saw Xu Damao wearing a coat and rushing out of the door like a warlord in the Republic of China, and it seemed that he was also heading for his home.

"I'm coming, I'm coming, Lao Liu, wait for me to put on my clothes."

Wang Dabao shouted twice towards the main door and began to put on his clothes.

It is now the end of autumn. The temperature is still okay around noon, but you can already feel the winter atmosphere in the morning and evening, not to mention the second half of the night, which is the coldest time of the day.

"Oh, Uncle, you are very conscious. You ran out wearing only a small sweater. It seems that your big body is really resistant to the cold."

"Xu Damao, stop being so sarcastic. You haven't even gotten married yet, and your health is like this. You will have a better future!"

While Wang Dabao was getting dressed in the house, Xu Damao and Liu Haizhong started arguing at the door.

Xu Damao still remembered the pain he felt when Liu Haizhong beat him into a pig's head and he couldn't even eat. If it weren't for Wang Dabao, he would never have paid any attention to Liu Haizhong at this moment.

Liu Haizhong also didn't like Xu Damao's always-on arrogance, so he paid attention to him just to give face to Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao put on his clothes, opened the door and walked out. The two brothers Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu also ran out of their homes, came to the door of Wang Dabao's house, greeted him, and stood behind Liu Haizhong in an orderly manner.

When Wang Dabao saw this situation, he knew that the two brothers were going to be scolded again.

"Come on Guangtian, Guangfu, smoke first."

Wang Dabao took out a cigarette and gave one to each of the two brothers, and then gave one to Liu Haizhong and Xu Damao. He glanced at the fire in the middle courtyard and said, "Let's have a cigarette first and let the fire burn for a while."

"Time!"

Liu Guangtian lit a match and bent over to light a cigarette for Wang Dabao.

"It's obvious that the fire started at Sha Zhu's house. Do you remember what Bang Geng said about setting fire to Sha Zhu's house? I think it must have been that brat who did it. I have to say, it's really admirable."

Liu Guangtian was doing analysis while holding a cigarette in his mouth.

Xu Damao chuckled: "No matter who ordered it, as long as Shazhu is in trouble, I will be happy from the bottom of my heart, I am happy!"

"Okay, Xu Damao, stop gloating over other people's misfortune. You are also a member of the compound. Don't be jealous of others doing well." Liu Haizhong narrowed his eyes and began to educate Xu Damao.

"Hey, Uncle, have you forgotten that you and him rolled on the ground a while ago? He was able to do that to you at your age, he is still a human being!"

Xu Damao became more and more excited as he spoke. "I think it would be better if the whole house was burned down, so that he wouldn't make a fuss all day and try to pick a fight with everyone."

Liu Haizhong turned his head and glared at Xu Damao: "He is not a human being, but you are. You know I am old, but you speak as if you have never fought with me."

Xu Damao was stunned. He turned his head and saw in the light that Liu Guangtian and his brother were staring at him eagerly. He swallowed back the words that were about to come out of his mouth.

"That's all in the past. Why are you still talking about it? We've reconciled now, right? Otherwise, we wouldn't be talking about it here."

Xu Damao blinked and exhaled a puff of smoke. "Okay, I was wrong before, Xu Damao, please don't bother with me. What we need to do now is to unite against the outside world. We have to deal with Sha Zhu and Yi Zhonghai. You don't want to be the second for a thousand years, do you?"

"Xu Damao, watch your mouth and don't force us two brothers to beat you."

When Liu Guangfu, who was behind Liu Haizhong, heard that his father was compared to the eternal second place by Xu Damao, he couldn't stand it anymore. He took the cigarette from his mouth and glared at Xu Damao, ready to attack him.

Liu Haizhong waved his hand to stop Liu Guangfu from speaking, and looked at Xu Damao: "What, do you have a way to deal with Yi Zhonghai?"

"That's not true."

Xu Damao curled his lips, "But I think that Third Uncle might not be willing to sit on the position of the third in command for a thousand years. It's time for us to let Yi Zhonghai move up, and you and Third Uncle can move up a position."

Xu Damao's words really touched Liu Hai's heart. Isn't this what he dreams of doing?

Wang Dabao was laughing with a cigarette in his mouth. Xu Damao's mouth was really good. He made Liu Haizhong happy in just a short while.

If Xu Damao had been replaced as the protagonist in the original drama, Sha Zhu would have been played to death by him a hundred times.

Or the kind that is never repeated!

"Old Liu, I think Damao's idea is good. Yi Zhonghai has already become a little out of touch with the ideological ranks of our working class!"

Wang Dabao looked thoughtful, and after a moment he said, "Old Yi recognizes his relatives but not the principles. He has a very low level of awareness. How can such a person manage the compound well?"

"If you ask me, it takes someone like you to get promoted. First of all, you have to have good character!"

"Look, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the incident at the Jia family in the first half of the night. There was a conflict between you and Sha Zhu, but you were able to look at this sudden incident from the perspective of the manager of the compound. You didn't make things difficult for Sha Zhu, and you didn't collude with Yi Zhonghai. This is the difference, don't you know?!"

"What Yi Zhonghai did was obviously biased. Didn't you see that even an honest man like Old Yan couldn't stand it?"

Then, Wang Dabao changed the subject: "And Damao, Damao's awareness has also improved significantly recently. Everyone knows that he and Shazhu are incompatible, but he can speak a fair word for Shazhu in the matter of the Jia family. What does this mean?"

The four people nearby were shocked by Wang Dabao's remarks.

Liu Haizhong never thought that he had such rare advantages.

Xu Damao asked anxiously, "Dai...what does it represent?"

"It means that you have put aside your personal grudges with Sha Zhu and are thinking about the problem from the perspective of the overall situation of the compound. This is an improvement in your ideological realm."

Wang Dabao paused and said solemnly, "If Yi Zhonghai steps down from the position of the eldest uncle, I think Lao Liu is fully capable of taking on this position."

"Yes, I am confident that I can manage the compound well."

Yi Zhonghai hurriedly made an assurance to Wang Dabao.

Wang Dabao nodded: "Old Liu, your ability may be a little lacking, but you have a high level of ideological awareness. Besides, Yi Zhonghai is not the boss just because he lives in the compound. I need to give you time to slowly adapt. It doesn't matter if you can't master it at the beginning, just take it slowly."

Liu Haizhong could hardly close his mouth. Who was Wang Dabao? He was the head of the security department. All the family compounds in this area were under his jurisdiction.

Although Wang Dabao cannot intervene directly, he can have a say in any incident at any hospital.

"There is another point. I think our hospital should be bold in employing young cadres. People like Damao, Guangtian, and Yan Jiecheng from the front hospital are all good young people with ideas and awareness. We can't say we will employ them directly, but we can give them a chance to try."

"In my opinion, Damao can take over the position of the Third Uncle temporarily. First, he should familiarize himself with the overall situation of the compound, handle two matters, hold two meetings of the whole compound, and learn from experience. With you, Lao Liu, and Lao Yan leading the way, nothing will go wrong."

Xu Damao's face was distorted by laughing, and he stamped his feet excitedly.
