Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Aunt Li at the side suddenly said, "But if this happens, these pieces of bacon, fish, and chicken will probably not be saved."

"Many residents in the courtyard don't even have enough food to eat, but we can eat cured chicken, cured fish, and cured meat."

"Yi Zhonghai will definitely not miss this good opportunity to suppress Lao Chen."

"They said your uncle Chen was detached from the masses and was enjoying himself, and then they tried every means to get your uncle Chen to contribute the bacon, chicken, and fish to distribute to the residents in the courtyard."

"If you, Uncle Chen, refuse, then you will definitely be labeled as an outcast from the Siheyuan community, and you will definitely not be able to continue to be the head of the Siheyuan community."

Wang Dong snorted coldly, looked at Aunt Li and answered confidently: "Aunt..."

"You think too highly of this old fellow Yi Zhonghai."

"If he doesn't learn his lesson and really plans to use this trick against us, forcing Uncle Chen to contribute the bacon and chicken, I guarantee that he will lose both his wife and his army and lose face in front of the residents of the Siheyuan."

“Maybe I’ll have to go to the street to make a self-examination.”

"Uncle Chen will then say that these bacon were bought with my wages from banquets outside..."

"Leave the rest to me."

In order not to attract the attention of Jia Zhang and the street, Wang Dong did not let his family be on high alert because of Jia Zhang's report. They continued to do what they had to do.

In order to dispel the street police's idea of ​​raiding his house, Wang Dong specially steamed a plate of bacon and placed it on the table.

Less than ten minutes after picking up the bowl and chopsticks, Jia Zhang's excited voice rang out at the door.

"Director Zhou, the Wang Dong I want to report lives in the east wing of the front yard..."

"He is just the deputy director of the kitchen at the steel mill, but today he bought a radio..."

"The second uncle of our middle courtyard worked as an eighth-level fitter in the steel mill for five or six years and never got a radio ticket, let alone that little beast Wang Dong."

"The radio ticket he used to buy the radio must have been obtained through speculation. Director, you must catch him and criticize him..."

"I also reported that Wang Dong had obtained a large amount of pork, chicken, and fish through speculation..."

"My house is separated from the Chen family by a wall. Every two or three days, I can smell the aroma of meat coming from the front yard."

"The Chen family's kitchen is the only one in the front yard. It must be the Chen family cooking meat."

"Others can't even fill their stomachs, but the Chen family can eat meat regularly. It's impossible for them to get so much pork except through speculation."

"Leader, you must take charge of this matter for us and arrest all the speculators in this courtyard. Otherwise, it will definitely affect the selection of civilized courtyards for our four courtyards."

"Bang bang bang..."

Before Jia Zhang could finish her words, there was a hurried knock on the door.

Wang Dong naturally opened the door and saw several street officials blocking the door. Director Zhou, who was leading the group, stared at him seriously. Wang Dong pretended to be surprised and asked, "Who are you? What's the matter with you coming to my house?"

Director Zhou is not a bad person, but he has a simple mind.

Seeing that Jia Zhang was quite old and that she had been worried for a long time, I subconsciously believed her report with preconceived ideas.

Although he has not met Wang Dong yet, he has already acknowledged in his heart that Wang Dong is guilty of speculation.

After the tightly closed door was opened, Director Zhou did not respond immediately, but took a quick glance at the situation in the room.

A brand new radio was placed on the table in the hall, and there were three dishes on the dining table, one fried cabbage, one stewed potatoes, and a plate of steamed bacon.

Seeing this, Director Zhou became more convinced of his previous judgment, and also believed Jia Zhang's report of Wang Dong's crime of speculation. Even the look he gave Wang Dong became unfriendly.

Wang Dong was confused by the stare, but he still patiently asked again: "Excuse me, what can I do for you?"

An officer behind Director Zhou also saw the radio and steamed bacon behind Wang Dong, and his first reaction was that he and Director Zhou had caught a big fish.

In order to gain the favor of Director Zhou, he decided to perform well in front of Director Zhou and started shouting at Wang Dong.

"What are you talking about?"

"You are a bad speculator. We have come to your house and you still haven't told the truth."

"Let me tell you, our subdistrict office has evidence of your speculation."

"Tell me how you got the radio tickets and bacon by speculation..."

"I am engaged in speculation, maybe you have made a mistake..." Wang Dong did not expect that Jia Zhang was so stupid, and there was someone in front of him who was even stupider than Jia Zhang.

Without asking a single question or giving myself a chance to explain, he just opens his mouth and puts the label of speculation on my head. Isn't this unfair?

More importantly, this person spoke very loudly, which immediately alarmed the neighbors around him.

Upon learning that Director Zhou of the street was blocking the door of the Chen family with a group of staff, Yi Zhonghai and He Yuzhu thought that something had happened to the Chen family, and they all rushed to the front yard with great anticipation, wanting to see the scene of Chen Dehui and Wang Dong being tripped.

"You're still making excuses at this time... Someone reported you to us for profiteering. If there was no evidence, do you think we would come here?"

"Hurry up and tell the truth..."

"How did you get the radio ticket by speculation..."

Seeing that the other party was still putting accusations on her and not giving her any chance to explain, and more and more residents gathered around, Jia Zhang's face was filled with joy, as if she knew that Wang Dong was engaging in speculation if she continued.

Wang Dong also became famous.

After glaring at the other person, he replied, "My radio ticket was awarded to me by the leader of the steel mill. Many leaders of the steel mill know about this. Comrades Huang Longfei and Tang Dashan in our yard also know about it."

After saying that, he stared at the official who had been accusing him and asked back: "You just kept saying that the radio tickets in my hand were obtained through speculation."

"Do you think the head of the steel mill who gave me the radio ticket is also involved in speculation..."

"If so, I will go to the leader of the steel mill right now..."

"By the way, let those leaders give you an explanation..."

He was anxious to show Director Zhou how confused he was, but he didn't expect that his first attempt would fail.

Any factory leader at the steel rolling mill has a higher rank than Director Zhou. Even if he had ten times the courage, he would not dare to question whether the leaders of the steel rolling mill were engaged in speculation.

His whole face was immediately replaced by panic, and he hated Jia Zhang in his heart. Why didn't she investigate the matter thoroughly before reporting to the street office, causing him to lose face in front of so many people.

He carefully glanced at Director Zhou who was standing in front of him, fearing that he would be angry with him because of this, which would be more trouble than gain.

As for Wang Dong's anger, he didn't take it seriously.

For a young man in his teens, it would not be a big deal if the steel mill rewarded him with a radio ticket.

I want to be a cadre in the future. No matter how capable Wang Dong is, he is still a worker and will never be better than me. (End of this chapter)
