Scholars in the courtyard

"Captain, how do you like these shredded potatoes?"

Silly Zhu wiped his hands and smiled innocently at the dark man in front of him.

There were three people sitting in front of the square table, and one person was guarding a large flower bowl, which contained shredded potatoes and some meat foam on the soup.

At this moment, I was shredding potatoes, so I had no time to talk.

"Delicious."

The captain was a tall and thick-set man, with tendons all over his body, but there was still black soot on his hair and neck, which looked like he had been digging coal all year round.

Silly Zhu chuckled, then walked aside and sat at the last table.

Pick up the bowl and eat slowly.

It wasn't until the captain finished eating and drank all the soup in the bowl that he breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at Silly Zhu, "Zhuzi, you, your skills are much better than the old lady in the kitchen."

The person next to him smiled and spoke, and the person opposite him nodded slowly with his mouth full. He didn't open his mouth until his tongue almost ate it, "Yes, Zhuzi, you are amazing. My family can't even eat like this during the Chinese New Year. It’s delicious, burp~.”

"Hiccup~~"

"Drink some soup and squeeze it down."

Silly Zhu moved his bowl forward, which contained more than half a bowl of shredded potatoes.

The man looked at Silly Pillar, then quickly took it sheepishly, raised his head and started drinking.

By the way, I took a few more bites.

"What's the matter? If there is something, what dish can't I cook? I'll make sure you guys have a good meal!"

"What about pot-roasted pork, braised pork, Kung Pao chicken, deep-fried?"

Silly Zhu said with his fingers, and the three people's mouths went dry.

"Oh, what a pity, there is nothing here."

The three of them were stunned again when they heard this. They worked here just to support their families. Otherwise, who would do this hard work?

"By the way, Zhuzi, this is the leave request form you asked for. Tomorrow is National Day, everyone has a holiday, and the factory director has approved it for you for one day."

"Really? Thank you, captain. Haha, captain, wait while I go get some meat and come back to make braised pork for you."

Silly Zhu suddenly jumped up. Tomorrow, he can go back to the courtyard to have a look.

Look, his sister Xiao Qin.

"Zhuzi, I have to be back before dark."

The captain did not forget to remind the prisoner that he must not neglect his management, otherwise the factory director would not be able to pass the test.

Silly Zhu glanced at the captain, smiled and nodded.

When I first came here, I relied on my strength and tried to act arrogant, but I was severely punished by the captain.

This guy is similar to the stuttering fool in the courtyard, but he is very powerful.

Later, Shazhu also figured out the personalities of these people, and gradually integrated into the circle by virtue of his craftsmanship and his experience in the four-nine cities.

"Don't worry, captain, I'll definitely be back before dark."

The captain smiled, and Shazhu also laughed.

caojiagou

In order to celebrate the National Day, every family in the village is also happy.

As the auxiliary staff who came down, Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang and others also received preferential treatment. They specially added an extra meal in the evening, including an extra Erhe noodle steamed bun.

In the house, Yi Zhonghai has been living with other people since Silly Zhu left.

During this time, I went to the fields to harvest corn from time to time. My tired back ached and I wanted to lie down when I got back home.

"It's National Day tomorrow, and I heard that there will be a big opera in the village. People from other villages will come to watch it, and we can have a rest."

"No, those who broke and threshed corn during this period are exhausted."

As the person next to him said, Yi Zhonghai stood up, put on his shoes and walked to the toilet.

It's good to be able to rest, but some people want to live in a courtyard.

I miss Auntie, Shazhu, and Qin Huairu.

It’s been a long time since I last came here!

well!

When I went out and walked in the alley, the wind in the countryside was a bit cold.

Before he even reached the toilet, he saw a figure approaching. Yi Zhonghai took a look and it was none other than Jia Zhang.

"Master!"

Jia Zhang's complexion turned yellow, her hair was messy, the flesh on her cheeks was reduced, and her whole body also lost weight.

"Well! I haven't rested yet!"

"No! My legs hurt so much that I can't sleep!"

"Um!"

Yi Zhonghai didn't mean to say anything more. It was cold and he was in a hurry to get out, so he just put on a single coat and thought of going back quickly.

But Mrs. Jia Zhang looked at Yi Zhonghai, "Master, do you think it's strange? In the past two days, that bad guy Xu Damao went to the village old man to ask for some folk remedies. Doesn't he have any evil intentions?"

As Jia Zhang said, she didn't like Xu Damao in her heart, especially since Xu Damao became an acting team leader and made trouble for her every day. Xu Damao had lost all her flesh.

Yi Zhonghai just frowned after hearing this, but he understood in his heart that the old man in the village was a barefoot doctor with two swords. What could he do to him?

I definitely can't give birth to a child, so I'm anxious.

But thinking of Qin Jingru, a smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's lips, and then disappeared immediately.

"Those who do bad things will be punished sooner or later, so let's just stay calm!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang nodded, "Yes, that bad guy will definitely not be rewarded. As for his wife, she is unlucky at first glance. No wonder she can't have children, bah!"

Jia Zhang shifted his firepower to Qin Jingru. Yi Zhonghai had something on his mind and didn't say much, turned around and ran to the toilet.

Mrs. Jia Zhang cursed for a while before walking back to her residence.

I just took two steps and looked up at the deserted night sky, feeling sad in my heart, "Old Jia, Dongxu, if you know anything about Quanxia, ​​you will definitely help me get back smoothly from here!"

"Dongxu, you must tell Qin Huairu to pick me up early!"

"Also, this little brat doesn't know how to hurt people..."

On the other side, Xu Damao's residence.

In the house, Qin Jingru was sitting on the kang, wrapped in a quilt, looking at the cold night through the wooden window with a cold expression.

This accommodation is even worse than in Qinjia Village.

She regrets now, regrets marrying Xu Damao, regrets entering the courtyard, regrets coming to Sijiu City.

If she had not come to Sijiucheng and entered the courtyard, the matter of going to the countryside to help would not have been her fault.

Look at the work I've been doing these days, it's as tiring as a dead dog. I haven't done it like this even in Qinjiazhuang.

And there is still a whole month until the end.

After planting corn, planting wheat, watering and weeding, there is always endless work in the fields.

The hard days have no limit.

"Daughter-in-law, I have found out clearly this time. As long as we use this recipe, we will definitely be able to have a son."

Xu Damao came closer, holding a piece of withered yellow paper in his hand, with a series of cursive writing written on it. He couldn't understand it, but Lao Guai said that as long as he showed it to the doctor, he would be able to understand it.

"If you still have a son, you have to give birth to him yourself."

Qin Jingru said disdainfully, "As for what happened in those three minutes with Xu Damao, he didn't feel the energy before he got up. How can he give birth to a baby?"

Not as good as a silly column.

Xu Damao chuckled, "How can I give birth on my own?"

"Daughter-in-law, don't worry."

Seeing Qin Jingru's appearance, Xu Damao also knew that she was thinking, didn't she just not want to stay here?

Aren't you just afraid that you won't have a good life when you return to Sijiu City?

Thinking of this, Xu Damao smiled contentedly, "Daughter-in-law, my mother said this when she came here a few days ago."

"What did you say?"

"The old man started working in the cinema and asked me to work part-time."

"part time?"

"Well, it's just a movie show on the weekend. You know that movie show work is not a simple job. If you don't have some technical skills, you can't do it at all."

Xu Damao started talking, but Qin Jingru's eyes widened.

"You mean, you can still make money when you go back?"

"Of course, I'm also a projectionist part-time. With our machines, you can see that it won't be long before we can get up again."

Xu Damao said passionately, Qin Jingru immediately put it on the quilt and leaned on Xu Damao's shoulder, "Really?"

"Nonsense, why is this movie projectionist so popular? It's because of this ability."

Xu Damao raised his chin and his face became longer.

"That's great."

Qin Jingru smiled, and Xu Damao put his arms around Qin Jingru's small waist, but cursed on his face, "It's all that damn stupid Zhu's fault. If he hadn't reported it, I would have finished the labor camp long ago, and I wouldn't have had to encounter such a bad thing. "

"But fortunately, it's only a month away. When we return to the courtyard, we will have a few babies. Then we will take the baby to see Shazhu. This girl will be so angry."

Xu Damao felt uncomfortable when he thought that his five-month labor reform period had been postponed until now.

After Qin Jingru heard this, she also spat, "Yes, it's all that damn fault, silly Zhu."

In the dark office building, a room showed a little light through the curtains.

In the room, the white-haired leader sat at the table with a solemn expression.

Sitting in front of him were Director Yu and Section Chief Song.

The two of them were called in late at night and were mentally prepared to be criticized.

There was silence in the room. The old man was holding the document he had just handed over. Every instruction on it made him frown. There was anger hidden under his calm expression.

Putting down the file, he then picked up the report handed over by Director Yu. After reading it for a while, his breathing gradually became rapid.

"Have these books always been there after all this time?"

"Yes."

Director Yu nodded affirmatively, "We took out two copies and asked experts to review them. There are still problems in them."

"It's all, there is an error in the key data."

boom

The old man threw the report on the table, closed his eyes to rest, and regained his peace of mind.

"Is it also available in the university library?"

"Yes, quite a few."

"What a bastard."

The old man swore, and then looked at Song Tao, "How did you do it over there? With so many people involved, no abnormalities were found?"

Song Tao swallowed.

"Chief, here, our people are good at protecting people, but this is about professional knowledge."

"And many of them are deceived. They don't know it themselves, and we don't even know it."

Song Tao felt a little aggrieved. The people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs were capable of protecting people at all costs, but if you asked them to memorize a table of chemical elements, it would be no more uncomfortable than killing them.

"Don't give me a reason to stress."

"If you don't know how to study, find someone if there is no one to use it. With so many graduates, how many of you won't develop them?"

Song Tao lowered his head. He felt that his boss should come today. He felt aggrieved coming here. He was just a little shrimp and had no human rights.

"You have to put this matter on your agenda in the future and fill in this gap."

"yes!"

The leader's leader has spoken, what can he do?

Put down the report and then pick up the file.

"This is an instruction from superiors."

"The chief was very shocked by this incident and the other party's plan. He also pointed out that this is a conspiracy against our clan. If it is not handled properly and the root cause is not eliminated, it will be a disaster for us."

The old man handed the instructions he had just received to Director Yu, "It is speculated above that this conspiracy may have been premeditated before liberation. It can even be traced back to after the first YP War. The country sought to save the country and become strong, and began to learn from other things. Gradually, new trends of thought began to be proposed.”

"At that time, someone had already put their mind to this."

"This is a terrible adversary seeking to enslave us culturally and scientifically."

"This will be another YP war."

"We can't do anything about this kind of person abroad for the time being, but if there is one in China, catch one."

The old man said fiercely.

This is like a little grandson who goes to school and learns one plus one, but then a foreigner comes as a teacher and tells you that one plus one does not equal two, and makes the grandson agree with this view.

It's simply ridiculous and heartbreaking.

"Don't worry, chief, we have figured out the pattern of this group of people."

Director Yu also said solemnly, no one wants their descendants to learn a lot of dregs, nor do they want to go back after learning more and more.

"The people that South Korea and the United States come into contact with are only part of them. After all, their status is there."

"But these people all have one thing in common, that is, they have studied abroad, which provides us with reference directions."

"Although not everyone will sell out national interests, as the saying goes, only if you are in a high enough position can you have access to core interests."

"There is no need to bribe a farmer like a small fish or shrimp."

"So, we plan to start the investigation from these expert elites, especially those who have close contact with printing plants and libraries."

"Of course this requires the cooperation of various departments."

The old man nodded after hearing this, "Don't worry, I can make the decision."

"However, Sijiu City must be cleaned up. This is the heart of the country and there is no room for any filth."

Director Yu and Song Tao looked at each other, and then nodded affirmatively, "Please rest assured, chief, we will complete the task."
