Siheyuan: Fishing for All Things

After Lin Shaowen returned to the courtyard, he did not go to the bedroom, but sat in the pergola, looking at the charcoal fire in front of him, and laughed self-deprecatingly.

He had never thought that a coward like him would dare to do such a thing.

Three years of natural disasters.

This is a memory that many older generations cannot erase. At that time, China was simply devastated.

"Maybe, I am really not suitable to be a hero."

Lin Shaowen looked at the dark night sky and couldn't help but smile.

If possible, he really didn't want to talk about this... But the education he received since childhood told him that if he didn't do this, he would have a guilty conscience for the rest of his life.

He thought about it, then walked into the bedroom and put all the conspicuous things into the ring, including the washing machine and refrigerator. He walked outside and put away all the solar panels, air conditioners and other things. Finally, when he connected the wires back to their original places, it was already bright.

Steel rolling mill.

Infirmary.

Lin Shaowen had just sat down and hadn't had time to light a fire when two burly men suddenly walked in, followed by Yang Weiguo and Li Xinmin, who looked worried.

"Hello, Comrade Lin Shaowen. I am Lin Gang, the director of the Seventh Division. Please come with us." The leading man was quite polite.

Lin Shaowen glanced at Yang Weiguo and saw his wry smile. He immediately knew that this was the person sent by the higher-ups.

"Comrade Lin Shaowen's matter needs to be investigated. I heard that he is still the director of your medical department, right?" another man whispered.

"Yes." Yang Weiguo nodded.

"Well, suspend him temporarily." The man said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

Yang Weiguo agreed in a low voice.

"Comrade Lin Shaowen, please?" Lin Gang stretched out his hand.

Lin Shaowen walked out without saying anything.

He just walked two steps, walked back, and whispered a few words in Yang Weiguo's ear.

Yang Weiguo looked at Lin Shaowen with a painful expression, but finally nodded.

Many people who were working saw Lin Shaowen being taken away. After all, jeeps are rare things that ordinary people rarely see.

"The following is a notice. Comrade Lin Shaowen has been temporarily transferred from the Medical Department due to some matters. Comrade Yang Weiguo will temporarily serve as the Minister of the Medical Department. Comrade Lin Shaowen's work will be arranged separately."

Steel rolling mill.

The workers who were chatting in groups of three or two suddenly became excited.

What's going on?

Minister Lin, who showed his face yesterday, was transferred today? Although the notice was vague, "due to some matters". But many people saw Lin Shaowen being taken away in the morning. Could it be that he really committed a crime?

"I said, this kid will fall sooner or later." Liu Haizhong laughed.

He was worried all night, afraid that Lin Shaowen would ask him to clean the toilet.

"Who said no? I've seen that this guy is not a good guy." Jia Dongxu also laughed.

If he hadn't beaten Lin Shaowen, he would have killed him long ago.

"Young man, you still have to listen to the old man." Yi Zhonghai sighed, "You all saw that Lin Shaowen was so arrogant and domineering, but he ended up like this..."

The younger generation in the courtyard nodded vigorously when they heard Yi Zhonghai's words.

Everyone was chatting.

Suddenly the workshop director came in and said loudly, "It's almost the end of the year, everyone clean up the sanitation... Go and clean the toilet."

"Yi Zhonghai, Jia Dongxu, Liu Haizhong, come out with me."

"..."

The smiles of several people froze on their faces.

"Director, this is not right, why are we here again?" Liu Haizhong said unconvinced.

"Fuck, you don't listen to the factory's arrangements, right?"

The workshop director's face immediately darkened.

"How can I, I'll go right away." Liu Haizhong immediately became timid.

"No, Director, who arranged this?" Yi Zhonghai came over and asked.

"Director, if you are not satisfied, go find him."

The workshop director left a word and turned away.

"This must be Lin Shaowen's doing." Jia Dongxu gritted his teeth.

"This kid, it's okay if he doesn't come back, but I will kill him if he comes back." Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say anything, but he greeted all the female relatives in Lin Shaowen's family in his heart.

After Lin Shaowen was taken to a courtyard, from day to night, no one talked to him except someone who came to deliver food on time.

Late at night.

Lin Gang came, threw a few books on the table, and turned away without saying anything.

Lin Shaowen looked at the books on the table and shook his head with a wry smile. They were all medical books, and someone must have sent them through connections.

He didn't make a fuss, but started reading calmly.

In the next room, Lin Gang, who had been observing Lin Shaowen,Yu smiled and shook his head. This kid is quite patient.

The next day.

After Lin Shaowen washed up, he sat on the table and read again.

But when someone came to deliver breakfast, he said, "Comrade, can you give me some paper and pen?"

The person who delivered the meal was slightly stunned, did not answer, and turned away.

Lin Shaowen did not care and started reading again.

However, when delivering lunch at noon, he brought him a thick stack of letter paper and fountain pen ink.

"Thank you." Lin Shaowen said gratefully.

The person who delivered the meal still did not answer, turned around and left.

Lin Shaowen, adhering to the mentality of being idle, began to write papers, but when he wrote about the cases, he was in trouble again. He could not remember every patient, but he kept all the cases at home.

At dinner, he mentioned this matter to the person who delivered the meal, but still did not get a response.

Siheyuan.

Several people in uniform came to the yard, and without talking to the crowd, they went straight to Lin Shaowen's yard. Many people were peeking from a distance, and when they saw those people took out a lot of books and papers, their faces suddenly changed.

"Oh my god, is Lin Shaowen a spy?"

"It's very likely."

"This time it's bad, there's a spy in our yard."

...

Everyone was discussing it heatedly.

After the gang came out, they put two seals on Lin Shaowen's house. It's not that the house was sealed, but that it was temporarily sealed, indicating that no one was allowed to enter.

After they walked away, the residents of the courtyard dared to come over.

"This house is sealed?" Yan Bugui looked incredulous.

"Is Lin Shaowen going to be shot?" Liu Haizhong said with a pale face.

"You think...Will Lin Shaowen talk nonsense?" Xu Damao pondered, "What if he makes random accusations and gets you in too?"

"Shut up."

Everyone shouted in unison, which scared Xu Damao.

"Damn Xu Damao, even if he wants to accuse someone, he should give you up first. You two are as close as brothers." Jia Zhang said sarcastically.

"Jia Zhang, don't talk nonsense. Lin Shaowen and I are not familiar with each other." Xu Damao took a step back in panic and said anxiously, "Yan Jiecheng, Lin Shaowen is your uncle..."

"Fuck you, he is your grandfather." Yan Jiecheng shouted angrily, "I declare here that Lin Shaowen and I are irreconcilable..."

"Well said."

Yan Bugui was the first to applaud, and then he was strongly supported by the Yan family.
