Siheyuan, don't mess with me

"Oh! Thank you, Brother Zhiguo!"

So, the two of them began to study quietly!

Occasionally, He Yushui would secretly glance at Chen Zhiguo, but would soon bury his head in his books again, while Chen Zhiguo was always reading seriously!

As it grew darker, Chen Zhiguo closed the book. He couldn't finish reading it for the time being, so he would read it in the evening!

"Yushui, is there anything you don't understand? Let me explain it to you!"

He Yushui is not stupid, she just doesn't listen carefully in class and has only a vague understanding of a lot of basic knowledge. Chen Zhiguo led her to study again according to the progress of the book. Of course, it is impossible to finish a book in such a short time, so he only talked about a few chapters in a targeted manner!

This made He Yushui listen to the course again, and this time he studied seriously. Besides, all the knowledge points were marked on Chen Zhiguo's notebook!

During this time, Chen Xiaoli came in once, saw her brother and sister He Yushui were reading, and then quietly went back!

Chen Xiaoli is also in school, she is only in the first grade, and she doesn't need Chen Zhiguo to teach her anything, but Chen Zhiguo thinks he should find her a copybook for her to practice writing, and teach Xiaoyong and Xiaojun at the same time!

It’s settled, but I don’t know if Chen Xiaoli will cry and scream when she finds out, “My vacation is gone!”

After dinner, Chen Zhiguo pushed the bike out, and He Yushui continued to study in his room. Chen Zhiguo ignored her. It is always a good thing to know how to study hard!

Riding along the way, it’s still the same yard, and it’s still the same question “Who is it?”

"Delivery!"

"Ah! Chen Zhiguo, why are you here?"

Chen Zhiguo pushed the bicycle into the yard and removed the sack tied to the back seat!

At this time, Gu Cheng and Wang Shumei also came out, "Uncle Gu, Aunt Wang, this is a little gift from the folks that I was asked to bring over!"

Chen Zhiguo did not open the sack, but carried it directly into the kitchen!

Seeing that Gu Cheng did not stop her, Wang Shumei did not say anything. She waited for Chen Zhiguo to come out of the kitchen and pulled him into the room to drink water!

Gu Yunshu had a hard time these past few days. Wang Shumei dragged her to practice cooking every day, which made her sigh and say, "It's all Chen Zhiguo's fault. My wonderful vacation is ruined!"

For the first time, Gu Yunshu was looking forward to the start of school. She felt resentful and slammed the cup of tea she was holding for Chen Zhiguo in front of him. Wang Shumei frowned, but Gu Cheng seemed to have seen nothing. "Thank you so much for running back and forth!"

"No, no, we have to thank Uncle Gu. This year the village can have a prosperous new year!"

Gu Cheng nodded, "The Chinese New Year is only a dozen days away. Can we get a batch? After all, it's the Chinese New Year and we need to move around!"

"Uncle Gu, I can only go back and think of a solution. I can't guarantee whether there is a solution or how much there is!"

"As long as you have the heart!"

Chen Zhiguo didn't stay long, he went back after chatting for a while. He originally came here to return the car and give some gifts!

As a result, Gu Cheng still has needs, so the car will not be returned for the time being. In a few days, it will be just right for him to go visit his grandparents before the New Year!

He didn't say it, and Gu Cheng didn't mention it either, but the two of them had a tacit understanding! It was just that Gu Yunshu didn't give him a good look when she sent him off. It was all because of him coming home, making her live in dire straits from then on! The key reason was that she couldn't tell anyone else, so she could only sulk alone!

Of course, Chen Zhiguo didn't understand. What happened today? Why was she so unhappy? He thought it was her period, so he didn't take it seriously. It's normal for girls to be fickle. Just ignore it, and she'll be fine in a few days. Chen Zhiguo has experienced this in school!

Wang Meihua was very curious. Her son went out saying he was returning the bike, so why did he ride it back?

However, she didn't ask, because she knew that her son had more ideas than her, and it would be right to listen to him!

He Yushui had already gone back, and Chen Zhiguo did not ask any questions, but just left the questions that He Yushui did not know written on the table!

Chen Zhiguo first solved the questions left by He Yushui, and wrote them in great detail. Some questions had several solutions, and he wrote them all out one by one!

After taking care of He Yushui, Chen Zhiguo continued reading. He developed a habit, and reading gradually became a kind of enjoyment!

What Chen Zhiguo didn't know was that there was a depressing atmosphere shrouding the courtyard. The only one who was happy was Liu Haizhong. It was a blessing that he didn't beat the child today!

Yi Zhonghai went home and just smoked and drank alone. An aunt looked at him but didn't care. She knew that he was worried and still angry from the past few days. She went to bed by herself, leaving Yi Zhonghai alone with cigarette butts all over the floor!

The atmosphere in the steel rolling mill was relatively normal in the morning, but after lunch, Yi Zhonghai clearly felt that the way people in the workshop looked at him was not right!

Especially his disciples, they avoided his gaze and did not come around when it was time to rest like they did before!

Instead, a few people gathered together and whispered something. Yi Zhonghai didn't care about them. The apprentice Jia Dongxu, whom he really cared about, stayed at his workstation. He seemed to be busy cleaning, but in fact, he did nothing!

If Jia Dongxu really becomes disloyal, all of Yi Zhonghai’s previous efforts will be wasted!

Yi Zhonghai has been considering whether to really teach Jia Dongxu with all his heart. Although he cannot guarantee that he can reach a certain level of work, he can at least guarantee that he can reach level three! However, if the work level is promoted, Jia Dongxu's economic conditions will be better, and he will be able to be independent. It will be difficult to control him!

At the same time, if I teach him like this, doesn't it mean that I have never taught Jia Dongxu with all my heart before and have been keeping my secrets to myself?

Will Jia Dongxu resent me for wasting so much of his time?

But if he really doesn't teach, and other apprentices change masters and pass the exams, will that stimulate Jia Dongxu to change masters as well?

Yi Zhonghai is now in prison! It is difficult to do anything, and I have made myself incompetent!

But he still thinks too highly of himself!

Chapter 32: Courtyard Night

The roof of the Jia family’s house has been repaired, so naturally Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhangshi have reconciled as before!

After dinner, the Jia family was also having a meeting. Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang were sitting at the table. "Mom, do you think I should change my master? My fellow apprentices want to ask the workshop director to change their masters tomorrow!" Jia Dongxu said in distress.

"Son, you are different from them. You live in the same yard with Yi Zhonghai. If you do this, aren't you tearing Yi Zhonghai's face off and stepping on it? This is a mortal offense!"

"But if I don't change my master, and Yi Zhonghai doesn't teach me real skills, how can I pass the work level exam? Now I am the only one with a ration of food, and you and Huairu have to eat expensive food. The price on the black market is rising every day. Can my salary last for half a month?"

When Jia Dafu was in the Jia family, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu were both registered as rural residents. When the street came to count the residents, Jia Zhangshi did not change her and Jia Dongxu's household registration to urban ones, just so that rural residents could have land in the countryside. Even if the land was contracted out to others for planting, Jia Zhangshi would still have food to eat! But the good times did not last long. With the completion of the urban household registration statistics, the rural land also changed. All the land was taken back and became collective land. Naturally, Jia Zhangshi's food supply was cut off. From then on, Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu could only eat high-priced food!

Later, after Jia Dafu got into trouble, Jia Dongxu took over and went to work at the steel rolling mill. His household registration was changed to a city household registration, and he also had a food grain certificate. Fortunately, there were only two of them, and they were able to make a living!

After the older youth Jia Dongxu married Qin Huairu, there was one more person in the family who had to eat expensive grain. Plus, now was the most difficult time, Jia Dongxu's food ration had been reduced, and the price of grain on the black market had skyrocketed!

Jia Dongxu pays 20 yuan to Jia Zhangshi every month, and in the past he only spent 15 or 16 yuan to buy food!

Now, twenty yuan can not buy half a month's food. How can we bear to live off our savings every day!

So Jia Zhang came up with a crooked idea and borrowed grain!

Jia Zhang also knew the current predicament, but getting rid of Yi Zhonghai was not an easy thing! Yi Zhonghai had been running the Siheyuan for many years. As an old resident, Jia Zhang knew that Yi Zhonghai was not as amiable as he seemed. He was a ruthless man!

It's just that Jia Zhang, who knows Yi Zhonghai's past, doesn't dare to tell Jia Dongxu! Now her son wants to get rid of Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhang really doesn't dare to think about what Yi Zhonghai's attitude will be after he knows it!

But if Jia Dongxu doesn't get promoted, won't his life be ruined? Not to mention how much ridicule and sarcasm Jia Dongxu has endured in recent years because he failed the exam, she knows that Jia Dongxu is under a lot of pressure!

Jia Dongxu was originally arrogant and cheerful. Knowing that his family conditions were not good, he wanted to get promoted to a higher level so that he could marry a woman with a city hukou. However, things were delayed again and again, and he had no choice but to marry Qin Huairu, who had a rural hukou! You can imagine how much of a blow this incident was to Jia Dongxu! He has been silent ever since!

Jia Zhang was in a dilemma. She couldn't express her opinion. On the one hand, she was afraid that her family would not be able to move an inch in the Siheyuan in the future!

On the one hand, my son is experiencing setbacks, and I am afraid that he will become decadent in the future! Besides, how can we maintain such a life? How long can we last with this little money at home?

At this moment, in the courtyard, it was not only the Yi family and the Jia family who were shrouded in gloom!

Yan Bugui also sighed after get off work, but he never said what happened. It was not until the old couple went to bed that the third aunt asked in a low voice, "Old Yan, what happened? Why are you so unhappy after get off work?"

Yan Bugui sighed, and then he said, "It turns out that Yan Bugui always thought that Chen Zhiguo went to the street to report the situation, but he didn't expect that Chen Zhiguo would also go to the school to complain. He didn't complain but wrote a letter to the principal!"

Actually, Yan Bugui's fault was also due to this. In Hongxing Primary School, he had the longest seniority, except for a few others like the principal. So he was often late and left early. He would attend classes when he had them, and when he didn't have classes, he would sneak out to fish or simply go home. Because he often cried poor in the office, the teachers felt sympathy for him and concealed his affairs!

Of course, the principal had also heard about it, and the kind-hearted old principal also wanted to take care of it. After all, Yan Bugui did not delay the school's teaching tasks, so he turned a blind eye!

But today’s situation is not going to work. The school first held a school-wide teachers’ meeting to summarize the year and commend advanced teachers. After the meeting, each grade group had to hold its own internal meeting!

Of course Yan Bugui was not willing to go to the meeting, but secretly rolled up a dozen sheets of big red paper from the school and took them away. In this way, he would not have to buy red paper when writing couplets for the residents of the courtyard during the New Year!

Just when Yan Bugui was about to push his bicycle out of the school gate, he was stopped by the principal in the message room!

The principal had something to do at the Education Bureau. After the meeting, he was about to leave. When he arrived at the school gate, the security guard handed him a letter. On the envelope was written, "If I can't handle it, I will go to the Municipal Education Bureau!"

The principal's scalp suddenly went numb, fearing that some teacher would make trouble! The principal was not in a hurry to go to the Education Bureau, and started reading the letter in the communication room! After reading the letter, the principal was also furious. The principal knew that Yan Bugui liked to take advantage of others, was late for work and left early, but because of Yan Bugui's behavior in the matter of He Yushui, the principal believed that Yan Bugui had moral problems. As a people's teacher and a manager of a large compound, he had no love and responsibility, which was really too much!

Another reason why the principal is angry is that you, Yan Bugui, caused trouble in your own home, but you didn't try to find a way to solve it, and ended up bringing trouble to the school. Fortunately, I saw the letter today. If I hadn't seen the letter, it would have been sent to the Municipal Education Bureau in two days, and then Hongxing Primary School would have become famous!

Just as the principal finished reading the letter and was extremely angry, he saw Yan Bugui holding a roll of red paper and pushing a bicycle to leave the school gate. The principal hurried out and said, "Teacher Yan Bugui, wait a moment!"

Yan Bugui must have been panicking when he saw the principal coming out of the reception room, but he felt relieved when he heard the principal's tone, which seemed to be the same as usual. "Principal, what do you want?"

"I have something to talk to you about. Please come back to my office to talk." Yan Bugui followed the principal to the principal's office. At the same time, the principal also called the vice principal, the academic director, and the grade director!

Yan Bugui was very happy when he saw so many leaders were called in. Are they going to give me a promotion? If I get a leadership position, how much will my salary increase? Yan Bugui was dreaming!

When the principal saw that everyone was present, he showed the letter to several other leaders, and then said, "Teacher Yan Bugui, I want to ask you, is what is written in this letter true?" The principal handed the letter to Yan Bugui.

After reading the letter, Yan Bugui broke out in a cold sweat. He didn't expect that Chen Zhiguo would report the matter to the school so quickly, and even threatened that if the school didn't handle it, he would report it to the Education Bureau. This was a big deal. No matter what, Yan Bugui knew that he could not escape the disaster, but after weighing the pros and cons, the school should deal with it lighter, after all, he was also a veteran of the school!

"Principal, I was really confused!" Yan Bugui could only admit his mistake and hope that the kind-hearted principal would show mercy!

"Teacher Yan, where did the red paper on your car come from?" The Dean of Academic Affairs asked. Usually, he didn't care, but now he couldn't ignore it. Yan Bugui lowered his head and said nothing. The principal waved his hand and said, "Teacher Yan Bugui, please go out and wait for a while. We will study your matter!"

After Yan Bugui stood fearfully outside the principal's office for more than half an hour, he was called into the office by the grade director. “Teacher Yan Bugui, we always thought that your family was in financial difficulty. Out of concern for you, we ignored you when you used working time to do personal things. But we didn’t expect that you would be such a person. Your salary in school is really not low!” Yan Bugui’s salary was really not the thirty-two and a half yuan he said in the courtyard. Even his family members were fooled by this statement, but his words could not fool the school leaders. Their signatures were required for the payroll!

The principal had something to do at the Education Bureau, so he said directly, "Well, let me tell you how our school will handle this matter. First, you need to apologize to the person involved and try to get his forgiveness! If he doesn't forgive you, you don't need to come to work. It's a good holiday now, so you have plenty of time to finish it!"

Second, regarding your lateness and early departure, I hope you will not do it again in the future. This matter is also related to our lax management. You will not be punished for your previous behavior, but if you do it again, you will be severely punished!

Third, the red paper you just took is school property, how could you steal it back? Our school leaders have decided to punish you with a fine of 10 yuan, which will be deducted from your next month's salary!

Do you understand the above decision?"

"I understand, I understand!" Yan Bugui was now very dizzy. He really underestimated Chen Zhiguo. He shouldn't have had such bad thoughts! Now he was losing a lot!

The principal was in a hurry to go out, so he didn't take care of the follow-up matters. Of course, there was nothing else to do. Just when Yan Bugui was pushing the cart home in despair, the Dean of Academic Affairs shouted behind him, "Teacher Yan Bugui, return the red paper!"

It turned out that Yan Bugui habitually wanted to push the bicycle and leave, and forgot about the red paper on the back seat of the bicycle. "Dean, I have paid my fines. Didn't I buy this paper with my money?" He was still calculating even at this point. He was really stingy. The Dean of Academic Affairs learned his lesson today and opened his eyes. He said unhappily, "A fine is a fine. It is a punishment for your behavior. If you want these red papers, you have to pay extra money!"

Yan Bugui obediently returned the red paper. After returning home, he kept thinking about how to apologize to He Yushui!

After hearing this, the third aunt said, "Hey, Chen Zhiguo is so bad. Why did he report this to the school? Isn't this hurting people? Just look at the door. He Yushui is crying outside. What does she have to do with our family? Isn't this unfair? I will go find him tomorrow!"

Yan Bugui was suddenly shocked and said, "Stop making trouble!"

Chapter 33 Siheyuan Assembly

None of the people in the courtyard slept well tonight, except Sha Zhu, who seemed to be kept in the dark, and continued to do what he was supposed to do! It's not that he is careless, but that he has a foul mouth. He is really unpopular in the steel mill. The rumor about Sha Zhu abusing his sister spread throughout the steel mill and Nanluoguxiang, but no one told him!

Chen Zhiguo was still reading, eating, and reading today. In addition to explaining the questions to He Yushui, he was reading and studying by himself! He didn't leave the yard all day, and He Yushui came over with books to study in the morning, so Yan Bugui couldn't find anyone to talk to him. He didn't want to go to Chen Zhiguo's house, because he was afraid that he would lose face if he apologized to the young people at his age. He planned to find a time when no one was around, coax He Yushui, and say a few nice words. What does a teenager like He Yushui know?

Just when Yan Bugui was about to do it according to his own idea but couldn't find the opportunity, the opportunity came, but the occasion was different from what he expected!

In the evening, the residents of the courtyard house who had just got off work were informed by the street clerk that a meeting would be held that night. When Yi Zhonghai wanted to ask what kind of meeting it was, the young man had already run away!
