My courtyard shelter

At around nine o'clock in the morning, Xu Dong was bragging with a group of subordinates at the north gate when Section Chief Li suddenly called.

"Xiao Xu, please quickly take people to the south gate to provide support. There is a crowd gathering on Qianmen Street."

"Yes, Section Chief, I'll be there right away."

Xu Dong didn't talk nonsense. Except for one housekeeper, everyone else was taken away by him.

When he came to the south gate, he didn't see Lao Jin. Xu Dong made some inquiries and immediately led everyone eastward along Qianmen Street to find him.

After walking less than two hundred meters, I finally saw the real owner. Xu Dong quickly stepped forward and asked:

"Lao Jin, what's going on?"

Lao Jin immediately breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Xu Dong and others coming to support.

He pointed to the crowd not far away and said, "It's not the ration card issue that's causing the trouble. Many people think it's unfair and insist on asking for an explanation from the higher-ups."

"How many people came?"

Xu Dong had received special training before and immediately grasped the key to the problem. There were more people than they could handle.

"I don't know about other places, but there are probably more than 100 people here on Qianmen Street." Lao Jin replied.

"More than 100?" Xu Dong nodded. This number was still within control. "Who are these people?"

Lao Jin smiled bitterly and said: "They are all uncles and aunts. They are probably connected in the WeChat group. You said that in this sunny day, you are not afraid of heatstroke."

Xu Dong was completely relaxed when he heard that it was just aunts and uncles. Generally speaking, aunts and uncles would not have violent conflicts.

What he fears most is meeting those young people.

"What did Director Du say?"

"Director Du and the others are in bigger trouble, but we still sent someone over this morning to inform us, asking us to do our best to disperse them. If we can, we should disperse them. If we can't, we should not break out conflicts."

"I understand, Lao Jin, what are you going to do here?" Xu Dong asked further, after all, this street is under the other party's jurisdiction.

Lao Jin took out a water glass and drank some water, and then replied: "What else can I do? I asked my men to go to the front to maintain order. Let's hold off for now. By noon, I want to see if they can still hold on. ”

"How about this?"

Xu Dong paused and took the opportunity to suggest: "Lao Jin, I'll send someone back to get some drinking water and parasols. If someone does get heat stroke, we can treat him in time to avoid being accused of dereliction of duty."

In fact, the most feared thing in this kind of mass incident is the occurrence of casualties. Once casualties occur, it is also the most likely to intensify conflicts.

Lao Jin thought it right and immediately nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll listen to you. You young people are more thoughtful."

"Then I'll go back and make arrangements first."

Back at the company, Xu Dong first reported the situation to Section Chief Li, who immediately agreed to Xu Dong's disposal plan.

After leaving the section chief's office, Xu Dong informed the canteen to boil several large buckets of boiling water and contributed all the tea leaves on his desk.

If you want to gain the trust of uncles and aunts, you must spend some money.

Half an hour later, the group returned to Qianmen Street carrying several large buckets of tea and seven or eight awnings obtained from the logistics department.

After all, Lao Jin was old and could no longer hold on anymore. When he saw Xu Dong coming over, he immediately handed over all matters here to him and hid under the awning to rest.

Xu Dong was also trying to catch up, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and take over the command temporarily.

It was almost ten o'clock in the morning, and the temperature soared to forty degrees.

Xu Dong looked at the uncles and aunts who were still insisting, and walked forward directly with a loudspeaker.

"Hey hey..."

"We have free drinking water here. If you need it, come to me." Xu Dong shouted to the crowd.

As soon as he finished speaking, the uncles and aunties quickly gathered around, and everyone asked in a hurry:

"Comrade police, where is the water?"

Xu Dong put away the speaker and led a group of people to the awning:

"Don't crowd, we have plenty of drinking water here. Everyone, please line up first and come one by one."

Soon, the first aunt who drank the water said in surprise: "Comrade police, is this tea?"

"It's tea. Tea relieves the heat. You can drink more." Xu Dong smiled and nodded.

Everyone at the scene immediately became excited. Tea is now much harder to buy than cigarettes. Even the worst tea costs almost over 10,000 yuan per pound.

After drinking tea, the uncles and aunts did not continue to return to the street, but rested in the awning.

Xu Dong took the opportunity to chat with these people to see if he could persuade them to go back.

"Young man, which police station are you from?" an aunt named Li asked.

This was the first time he was called a young man after his rebirth. Xu Dong was very happy and replied with a smile:

"I'm not from the police station, I'm from the Yanjing Electric Power Company next door, but now we are also under the management of the police station."

"Electricity company? What a great company!" Aunt Li said with a satisfied look on her face.

"So-so! Aunt Li, I think the ration card system is very good. It can ensure fairness to the greatest extent. Why are you so opposed to it?" Xu Dong asked carefully.

Maybe it was for the sake of tea, or maybe she liked the young man, Aunt Li patiently explained:

"We are not against the ration card, we are against the lack of openness and transparency."

"What's the meaning?"

"Hey, let me tell you clearly, we don't believe in that big data." Aunt Li said simply.

"Why? Big data is a high technology and it has great effects!"

Aunt Li waved her hand, "Anyway, I don't believe it. Auntie thinks food stamps are better. You can get as many food stamps as there are people in your family. It's clear and obvious. No one dares to fool you."

Xu Dong finally understood the crux of the problem. In the final analysis, it was still a matter of concept.

"Aunt Li, if you make trouble like this, nothing will come of it. Grain shortage is the general trend and no one can stop it." Xu Dong tried to persuade.

According to his observations, Aunt Li should be the organizer of this group of people, and her status is somewhat similar to Aunt Wang of the Champs Elysées family.

"Auntie knows she can't stop it."

"Then you return?" Xu Dong was puzzled.

Aunt Li smiled and said, "Young man, you are still too young. Regardless of whether many things are reasonable or not, let's make a fuss first. Only children who can cry can eat sweets."

Xu Dong felt that his outlook on life was shattered. It turned out that he was on the second floor, but Aunt Li was already standing on the third floor.

"Aunt Li, what benefits can you get from making such a fuss?" Xu Dong asked curiously.

Aunt Li looked at the person in front of her and did not choose to say it explicitly. Instead, she said figuratively:

“It’s like a wall, if the wall is complete, nothing we can do will work;

But if there is a window in the wall, we can find a way to get things through the window and continuously get things from the other side of the wall. "

"What we have to do now is to open a window in the wall, can you understand?"

Aunt Li finally concluded.

Xu Dong nodded subconsciously, seeming to understand somewhat, but also not quite understanding.
