Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 64 Accountability
"Oh? So you, Yi Zhonghai, were also there at the time?"

Wang Xinhua frowned and looked at Yi Zhonghai with some dissatisfaction.

In her opinion, if he hadn't done it before, it would have been impossible for him to scare his sister like that in front of everyone.

"Director Wang, this is just a coincidence. You know Dongxu got into trouble before, so Zhuzi wanted to help the Jia family. Later, I don't know who spread the gossip outside, and Yushui heard it, so he and Qin Huairu started a quarrel. Later, Qin Huairu lost her balance and fell, and Zhuzi happened to see it, and this happened. We have already resolved it in the meeting in our hospital, but I didn't expect it to be reported to you."

Yi Zhonghai gave a brief explanation, but he used a little trick to put all the blame on He Yushui.

He Yuzhu on the side wanted to say something, but after thinking about it, he swallowed his words back.

The most important thing is to deal with Wang Xinhua's questioning first. Wang Xinhua will not tell anyone about this.

"Okay, I will verify this matter. Yi Zhonghai, as an elder, you should remind He Yuzhu more often. There are some things he doesn't understand that you can't understand either."

Wang Xinhua looked at Yi Zhonghai, then at He Yuzhu, said this, and turned away.

After the people left, He Yuzhu asked in a low voice: "Uncle, what did Director Wang mean just now?"

"Someone must have passed the message to Director Wang. She is saying that what I did before was wrong."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes flickered, and he said something perfunctorily, then continued: "Zhu Zi, if you don't do anything wrong, you don't have to worry about ghosts knocking on your door. We are upright and honest, and fake things can't become real. Let's not talk about this for now. I came here today to tell you that I found a girl for you. After the holiday the day after tomorrow, you should pack up and I will bring her over to meet you."

"Okay, uncle, don't worry, I will definitely clean it up and won't embarrass you."

When He Yuzhu heard that they were going to meet, he immediately forgot what had just happened.

He has been dreaming about beautiful girls every day these days. He has been itching to find a wife as soon as possible.

……

Two days flew by.

Noon, steel rolling mill.

As the bell rang for the end of get off work, the workers hurried out of the factory one by one.

I just received my salary this morning, and now I have to rush back to buy New Year’s goods.

Every time this time comes, places like supply and marketing cooperatives, non-staple food stores, and grain and oil stations are crowded with people. If you go late, the things will be sold out.

Zhou Weimin was riding his bicycle at the front of the crowd. He was different from these people. He was in a hurry to go back and take his younger brother and sister to get their bicycles.

My younger brothers and sisters have almost bought all the New Year's goods for the family these days. I will get up early tomorrow and go out, take out some pork, rabbit and chicken from the space, and bring them back to complete the process.

At this time, every household would sell meat. Not every household had coupons, but every New Year everyone would be given a quota of half a catty of meat coupons, half a catty of oil coupons, two catties of fine grains, and two catties of peanuts and melon seeds.

With these extra quotas, it will be enough for everyone to have a good New Year.

As long as Zhou Weimin doesn't act too exaggerated at this time, he doesn't have to worry about anyone being jealous.

Besides, the meat is in his room, so he has the final say on how much is left. He can also take advantage of the New Year to let his younger brothers and sisters add more fat and water.

When they got home, Zhou Weibing and Zhou Weihong were sitting at the table arguing, with hot meals on the table in front of them.

"Brother, my second brother is bullying me again. He said that my hair flower looks ugly. Please help me talk to him."

As soon as they entered the room, Zhou Weihong started to complain to him. Zhou Weimin looked at the big red flower on his sister's head and couldn't help but smile.

Perhaps it was a characteristic of this era, the little girl usually wore plain clothes, but the flower on her head was exceptionally bright.

But Wei Hong was already pretty, and with the flower on her head she looked even more youthful, not like what the guard said.

Zhou Weimin praised his sister, washed his face, and then sat down in his seat. He smiled and said, "Our Weihong looks good in anything she wears. Don't pay attention to your second brother. He is just idle and teasing you. After dinner, come with me to the alley entrance. I bought something for you."

"Brother, what did you buy? Why did you leave it at the entrance of the alley?"

Zhou Weihong looked at his elder brother curiously. Usually he would take things back directly.

"You'll know when the time comes. Eat quickly or the food will get cold."

Zhou Weimin did not say it directly, but kept it a secret.

"At the entrance of the alley..."

Guard Zhou muttered something, and suddenly his eyes lit up and he quickened his eating speed.

"What? Second brother, you guessed it, tell me quickly."

Seeing her second brother like this, Zhou Weihong knew that he had guessed what her eldest brother had bought, and she couldn't help but act coquettishly.

But it was obvious that this trick didn't work on Weibing Zhou. Driven by curiosity, she also sped up her eating.

Soon the three of them finished their lunch, cleared the table, and walked out the door with brisk steps.

Zhou Weihong walked in front, looking back from time to time to urge him, running back to her brother with a smile on her face, and then running to the front again with great interest.

Zhou Weimin and Zhou Weibing smiled and quickened their pace, following behind their sister not too far away.

In the alley, many children were playing with small firecrackers, and the sound of firecrackers could be heard in the alley from time to time.

Zhou Weimin looked around and felt the strong New Year atmosphere, and the corners of his mouth unconsciously curved a little wider.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had felt this kind of New Year atmosphere. He only remembered that when he was young in his previous life, he had always been looking forward to the New Year, but when he started working, he found that the New Year atmosphere had disappeared unknowingly.

At that time, Chinese New Year was more of a perfunctory visit to relatives and friends, and the money saved with great effort would be spent by the time of the Chinese New Year.

A year has passed, and instead of relaxing, I feel even more tired than usual.

The strong New Year atmosphere in this era is a completely new experience for him, making him feel particularly comfortable.

In this cheerful atmosphere, the three of them soon arrived at the entrance of the alley.

Jiang Honggui in the repair shop, upon seeing the three people, immediately laughed and said, "Wei Min, you are finally here. If you don't come again, I will have to go to your yard to look for you."

"Old Jiang, are you guys going to call it a day too?"

Zhou Weimin took out a cigarette and handed it to Jiang Honggui.

Jiang Honggui took the cigarette, struck a match to light it for himself, patted the two brand new bicycles beside him, and said proudly: "Yes, your steel mill has already closed its doors, so it is natural that our repair shop will also celebrate the New Year."
