Scholars in the courtyard

The chef, Shazhu, came early in the morning with a smile on his face.

When everyone asked, he didn't hesitate and directly told what happened between him and Qin Huairu.

As a disciple, Ma Hua immediately sent his blessings and promised to visit his master's wife at home in the future.

Silly Zhu was very proud after hearing this. He was in a good mood and planned to teach him a few tricks today.

When Liu Lan heard this, she had a smile on her face, but she felt empty in her heart.

The kitchen was cheering constantly, and the publicity department was also lively.

There have been a lot of big things going on in the factory recently, and they have a lot of things to promote, so they don't have to worry about lack of performance.

Everyone is busy.

On the other side, Xu Damao sat next to Yu Haitang, constantly talking about interesting things, attracting Yu Haitang's attention.

As time passed, with Xu Damao's unremitting efforts, Yu Haitang finally wavered.

In particular, I had another conflict with my partner Yang Weimin. Comparing him with Xu Damao, I felt that the person in front of me, who knew how to care for others, was much better than the lumpy Yang Weimin.

It happened that Xu Damao invited Yu Haitang to go out for dinner at noon, and Yu Haitang readily agreed.

Noon, courtyard.

Yan Fugui was very preoccupied today and was a little distracted in class.

Fortunately, there were no classes in the afternoon, so I ran back after lunch.

In the room, the old couple were discussing quietly.

The third aunt has passed the initial panic and is thinking about the problem calmly.

"Dad, tell me, if we help the government catch saboteurs, will we be rewarded?"

Yan Fugui's eyes widened. This was the problem he struggled with in school.

Logically speaking, if you know that the enemy exists, you should report it emotionally and rationally and eliminate the enemy.

But this person is a deaf old lady, so she must think again and again.

There are too many people involved, including Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai. Others dare not say it yet. Anyway, these two people will definitely cause trouble for them.

But if you don’t report it, the benefits will be gone.

"There must be a reward."

Yan Fugui pushed up his glasses and clasped his fingers and said, "Don't say it's far away. Since the search has already started, there's no guarantee that we won't be found here."

The third aunt nodded. If she didn't say anything, would anyone else in the courtyard know to report it?

That means eating shit can’t keep up with the heat.

"At that time, we were the third uncle in the courtyard. Not only did we get no credit, but we would also be implicated. I guess by then, we would not be able to keep our position."

"Ah, that won't work. Without this identity, who in our courtyard will still be close to us."

Yan Fugui nodded, "On the contrary, if we report and expose, this kind of thing will not involve us."

"On the contrary, if the identity of the deaf old lady is confirmed, then she is meritorious, not only rich. More importantly,"

A meaningful smile appeared on Yan Fugui's lips, "What's more important is that we will be noticed by the higher authorities, and we will show our hearts to the motherland."

"This is called political correctness, and good things will continue to come."

Yan Fugui thought of a young teacher in school a few years ago who was appreciated by his superiors for reporting saboteurs.

Not only did he quickly become a formal teacher, he also rose through the ranks and is now the grade director.

The salary is high, the work is light, and it comes with a bicycle. It's like a quick climb to the sky.

If he can take advantage of this east wind and skyrocket, then from now on

Yan Fugui looked longingly.

Although the third aunt doesn't understand what political correctness is, she knows that her old man will definitely not suffer any loss if he plans it.

"Dad, what are your plans?"

Yan Fugui lowered his head, thought again and again, and finally made up his mind.

"I'll go to the street office."

As she was about to stand up, the third aunt still asked, "Old man, why don't you talk to the first master and the others?"

"no."

Yan Fugui refused. What is the relationship between Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady? What if they are accomplices?

Didn't this harm their whole family?

"Don't mess around, let me swallow this matter."

"Also, after I left, you looked at the yard, especially the backyard."

The third aunt nodded.

After saying that, Yan Fugui drove the car and left the front yard.

At the entrance of the street office.

Yan Fugui put the car down and looked around. The people coming in and out were busy with their work. After waiting for a while, there was no one he knew, so he took the courage to walk in.

After a while, he came to the director's office.

Director Wang is checking the personnel situation in the street. Recently, the superiors have issued a task to organize idle people in the area and start building underground fortifications. In the tense atmosphere, she has not been home for several days.

"Director, the third uncle of the courtyard, Yan Fugui, came to see you and said that he has something important to report."

Director Wang looked up and saw Yan Fugui walking in with the guard.

What can happen to the courtyard?

Besides, even if something happens, it won't be his turn.

I guess it's just something trivial again.

However, when people come, they have to ask.

"Teacher Yan, what can I do for you?"

Director Wang was very busy and did not hesitate to ask directly.

Yan Fugui stepped forward after hearing the words, "Director, I have something important to report to you this time."

"Big deal? What big deal?"

"Well, director, the photo on this notice was seen by my family, and it appeared in our compound."

As Yan Fugui handed over the folded notice, Director Wang just glanced at it and immediately stood up from his seat.

Then he looked at Yan Fugui seriously and said, "Yan Fugui, are you sure?"

"Well, director, our family just saw a very similar photo at the house of an old deaf lady."

"Who are you talking about? Deaf old lady?"

"Wang Xiqin?"

Director Wang shouted, but Yan Fugui didn't react for a moment.

This was the first time he heard the deaf old lady's name.

Wang Xiqin.

This is the name registered on the subdistrict office's roster. I don't know whether it's true or false.

"Yes, that's the old lady in the backyard. My boss went to deliver food to her that day."

After Yan Fugui explained what happened, Director Wang knew that the situation was serious and asked Yan Fugui to follow him to the police station.

After a while, everyone came to the police station and explained the situation to Director Zhang.

Snapped!

"Oh, there must be something wrong with this old woman."

Director Zhang threw his hat on the table and said regretfully, "A few years ago, I specifically checked her background, but at the end of the investigation, the superiors actually issued a message to stop the investigation. At that time, I thought she was a 'martyrdom' of the other party." If his identity came into play, he would not be traced again.”

"Who thought of it, who thought of it."

Director Zhang said sadly, and suddenly remembered something.

Who stopped him from investigating enemy agents?

But it's definitely not a fun thing.

However, this matter is not something that he, the police station director, can handle.

Thinking of this, he calmed down and said to Director Wang and the other two, "Wait a moment, I'll report the situation."

After saying that, he walked aside and picked up the phone.

In the office.

Team Leader Yu was holding a thick stack of interrogation transcripts and looking at them.

These people are all drawn from two lines: moths and grasshoppers, and most of them are peripheral to butterflies.

In this operation, most of the Butterfly personnel were cleared. As for other personnel, brother departments are also working hard. I believe that with the confessions and clues of these people, it is only a matter of time before they are found.

After this battle, the environment in Forty-Nine City will get better, and they can be considered a phased victory.

Of course, it would have been even more perfect without that accident.

Putting down the transcript, the value of the information in it has already been discovered, and now there is no breakthrough.

"Butterfly!"

Team Leader Yu picked up the photo on the table again. It was so difficult to find someone through a piece of debris.

Putting down the photo, he pulled out another document with information about an elderly woman in Sijiu City.

Although it doesn't seem like much, the origins of most of the personnel are vague, and some people only have one name.

Having experienced the war, they themselves are a vulnerable group in society. It is not an easy task to go back to the original source one by one and find out clearly.

Besides, they didn't dare to explore it in a big way.

"Perhaps, the person is already gone."

Thinking about the average age in the country that has just been calculated, ten years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, life has improved, and it still does not reach forty years old.

If this man were alive, he would be in his fifties or sixties now.

Can you survive this?

Thinking of this, Team Leader Yu is no longer so eager to find Old Butterfly.

It's a bit like a situation where I get lucky and lose my life.

bang bang bang

Xiao Liu had already ran in when he knocked on the door.

After being discharged from the hospital, Xiao Liu was assigned to work in the office, and Xiaobo was temporarily in charge of leading the team.

"Team leader, good news."

Xiao Liu walked in, and Team Leader Yu looked up in surprise.

"Comrades from the street office and the police station below sent important clues. They said that someone had seen this photo."

Wow

Team Leader Yu stood up immediately, "Where is he?"

"Police station in the jurisdiction."

"Take someone with you and leave immediately."

…

Silly Zhu took half a day off after cooking at noon. After leaving the steel rolling mill, he went straight to the vegetable market, bought pork and eggs, and walked home with them.

I said last night that I would invite two tables tonight, so I couldn't break my promise.

Besides, this important matter cannot be taken lightly.

In the past, I had hosted banquets for other people's houses, but now it was my turn to host them. Silly Zhu felt energetic all over, and everyone he met along the way felt happy.

When you get home, get ready to get busy.

"Zhuzi, come back so early and prepare."

Mrs. Jia Zhang was looking at Banggeng Xiaodang in the yard, holding little Sophora japonica in her arms. When she saw Shazhu carrying a bunch of things, she immediately went to say hello with a smile on her face.

Even if her title became Zhu Zhu, for no other reason than the three yuan a month from now on, she would have to be nicer to Silly Zhu.

"Aunt Zhang."

"Isn't this just for tonight's preparation?"

Silly Zhu was also polite to Jia Zhang, mainly because he didn't want to make things difficult for Qin Huairu.

"Then you have to prepare the table. Our two families have become one family, which is a big deal in this courtyard."

"This Huairu is following you, so you can't be wronged."

"And this is a great joke. As a kid, you will have to call you dad from now on. If there is anything good about it, you have to keep a close eye on the child."

Mrs. Jia Zhang started to chatter.

Normally, Shazhu would have been impatient, but today, hearing Jia Zhang say this made him feel very happy.

Especially when it comes to talking about "Banggeng Xiaodang", I feel happy mentally.

Although it is not his biological son, it is his wife's.

When you grow up in the future, you have to support yourself.

What's more, if his son comes out in the future, who in this yard will dare to bully their family?

Yang Xiaotao?

As for her daughter-in-law, she hasn’t given birth to a child yet, so I don’t know if she’s the one to take charge.

As for Xu Damao?

hehe

This guy doesn't want to have a son.

Silly Zhu was happy, and Mrs. Jia Zhang also had a smile on her face. Then she heard a big mother running over, panting, "Zhu Zhu, go see the old lady quickly."

"I went to see the old lady this morning, and she was lying on the ground."

"I probably got up in the middle of the night and slipped and fell. Go and have a look."

Upon hearing this, Silly Zhu put his things at the door, turned around and ran to the backyard.

When Silly Zhu came in, the deaf old lady had already opened her eyes, but her eyes were dull. When she saw Silly Zhu, she just nodded.

Last night, I searched the house but couldn't find the photo. The deaf old lady felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her in the dark night and snatched the photo away.

Otherwise, why can't I find it?

For a moment, fear came over him, and his body couldn't bear it anymore, so he fell to the ground, and then passed out.

Fortunately, the weather is warm now. Although the ground is cooler, the deaf old lady spread the word a lot, so there was no hiccup in the whole night.

After being discovered by the eldest mother in the morning, she put her on the bed. She was much better now when she lay down.
