Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Seeing Yi Zhonghai getting more and more proud, Wang Dong interrupted directly: "Second Master..."

"Who told you that I was the one who set up the election?"

Yi Zhonghai still thinks he is right. He looks at Wang Dong and answers confidently, "You are the deputy director of the kitchen, and you hosted the election. If it wasn't you who came up with this, then who did it?"

Wang Dong continued to ask: "You also know that I am the deputy director of the kitchen..."

"I have so many superiors. Do you think a mere deputy director like me is qualified to vote in the back kitchen?"

At this point, Wang Dong's face suddenly became very serious. He looked at Yi Zhonghai and continued to ask: "Second Uncle..."

"After listening to what you just said, I found that you have a big problem in your thinking and are going downhill."

"If I don't help you correct it today, you will definitely make big mistakes in the future."

"We are in a new society, a new society where workers and farmers are the masters of the country. We value democracy, and voting is our most basic right as workers."

"I was ordered by the leadership to organize everyone to vote in the steel mill kitchen. This is to promote our democratic system and let the workers exercise their right to vote. It is reasonable and well-founded."

"How come you, Second Master, think there is something wrong with voting?"

“Does the Second Master want to return to the original dictatorship and take back the voting rights that belong to us workers?”

Yi Zhonghai was frightened.

If Wang Dong's words were spread to the street, he would definitely have to go to the street to receive ideological education, and might even be criticized.

Cold sweat broke out from his forehead like rain, and he quickly retorted: "Wang Dong...don't talk nonsense."

"When did I ever say I wanted to deny the voting system and take away workers' voting rights?"

"I'm talking about why you chose to remove the pillar."

"Don't try to get away with it by confusing people. The neighbors are waiting for your explanation."

Wang Dong asked sarcastically, "Since Second Uncle has not denied the voting system and does not want to cancel the workers' voting rights, then why did you come to me?"

"I was just a witness in the kitchen today. I didn't vote, and there was no behind-the-scenes manipulation. Comrade He Yuzhu's being voted out has nothing to do with me."

"If you feel dissatisfied, you can go to the kitchen helpers and apprentices who participated in the vote."

"They were the ones who threw He Yuzhu down."

"You can ask them why they didn't choose He Yuzhu as the kitchen team leader..."

"Oh, maybe you guys don't know yet?"

"Today, the Third and Fifth Canteens of the Steel Mill are holding a team leader election. Nine chefs in the kitchen who are eligible to be team leaders are running for the position, and Master He from our yard is one of them."

"There are more than 50 kitchen helpers and apprentices in the two canteens. In the final voting, Master He received zero votes in both canteens, which means that no kitchen helper or apprentice supported him to be the canteen supervisor.

"Even though I am the deputy head of the kitchen and a neighbor of Master He, I cannot go against public opinion and manipulate the situation to add Master He's name to the kitchen recommendation list."

"Besides, the voting results are announced in public. Everyone in the kitchen knows the results. I don't dare to be the kind of person who lies with open eyes."

"Second uncle..."

"I wonder what your purpose is in coming to the front yard to slander me?"

Tang Dashan, who was standing nearby, immediately spoke up: "Second Master..."

"The fact that Master He received zero votes in the vote has nothing to do with my master."

"You come to trouble him aggressively without even understanding the whole process of the incident. This is too much."

"If you can't give my master a reasonable explanation today, even if my master forgives you, I, as his apprentice, will not forgive you." "I will definitely ask the police to help him get an explanation."

Otherwise, there is no reason in our courtyard to slander anyone you want, and the future will be a mess.

Huang Longfei in the backyard stood up unwilling to be left behind: "Second uncle..."

"Today you must give my master an explanation..."

"Otherwise I will go to the police now."

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded. He didn't expect things to turn around so quickly.

I thought Wang Dong was manipulating the voting process behind the scenes and kicked He Yuzhu out of the kitchen recommendation list.

I never expected that Wang Dong didn't participate in the voting at all, he just served as a witness.

Moreover, the entire voting process is completely open and transparent, with no possibility of any behind-the-scenes manipulation.

In this situation, the chances of causing trouble for Wang Dong are almost zero.

Not only that, he also had to find a reasonable explanation, otherwise he would be convicted of slandering Wang Dong.

Of course, Wang Dong could also accuse him of having ideological decline and send him to the street for re-education.

Compared with the latter, for someone like Yi Zhonghai who values ​​face more than life, he is more inclined to give Wang Dong an explanation, or even apologize and compensate for the losses.

Facing the mocking eyes around him, he felt very aggrieved. But for the sake of his reputation, he had to bite the bullet and say, "Wang Dong, it was Second Master who made a mistake..."

"I just heard that Zhuzi was not on the kitchen recommendation list, and I was anxious and rushed over without asking the reason."

"Second Master is apologizing to you now. Doesn't he mean to slander you?"

Huang Longfei is no longer the same Huang Longfei.

When I was still an unemployed vagrant, I was a little afraid of Yi Zhonghai.

Now he has transformed himself into not only a formal worker in the steel rolling mill, but also successfully promoted to a level 10 chef in the assessment that just ended, becoming the head chef of the steel rolling mill. He now has the capital to no longer have to look at Yi Zhonghai's face.

Even if he is an eighth-level fitter in a steel rolling mill, it cannot affect me as a chef.

Without waiting for Yi Zhonghai to continue, he directly retorted: "But Second Master, you have slandered my master..."

"I just heard from the neighbors that my master was having dinner at home, but you came into the front yard without saying anything and said in front of everyone that my master was sorry for the neighbors in the yard..."

"The damage has already been done. Can it be solved with just an apology from you?"

"If I make a mistake in the yard in the future and accuse the second uncle of stealing things and embezzling money, can I solve all the problems with just an apology?"

"Even if someone breaks the law and kills someone in the yard, they can just apologize and let it go."

"If this is the case, why do we need the police? Isn't the cost of making mistakes too low?"

Tang Dashan didn't expect his senior brother Huang Longfei to be so brave. Seeing Yi Zhonghai's face flushed with anger, he decided to add fuel to the fire: "Second uncle, if I remember correctly..."

"You have slandered my master before..."

"I remember that I paid my master more than 100 yuan in compensation."

"Now it seems that this punishment is still too light and it doesn't teach us a lesson."

"I think you should at least pay the master three hundred dollars this time, or else you will do such a stupid thing again next time." (End of this chapter)
