Siheyuan: Security Office of Wude

And since he has his uncle as his backer, he is not afraid of others playing tricks on him. He can do whatever he wants and go to work and go home as usual.

As soon as the bell rang, a large number of workers rushed out of the workshop and walked out of the factory.

Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu were also among them, like father and son.

As I approached the gate, I heard someone crying.

Most Chinese people like to join in the fun, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu couldn't help but stop to see what was going on.

I saw two security guards grabbing a worker by the collar, one of them holding a steel ingot in his hand, and said ferociously: "Okay, Niu Dahai, you actually dare to steal things from the steel mill, come on! Follow me to the security office!"

The worker named Niu Dahai was a big and strong man, but he was too "weak" compared to the security department. He was scared and cried on the spot.

"Captain Wang! Please show some mercy, I won't dare to do it again!"

"My mother has been seriously ill recently, and the medicine is too expensive. I was confused for a moment because I really had no choice. Please let me go this time!"

"I don't dare anymore!"

Captain Wang said ruthlessly, "Stop talking nonsense! Who doesn't have a hard life these days? Just because you have a hard life, you can steal state supplies at will? You are a thief and a traitor to the country!"

"Besides, we have to interrogate you to find out whether you were just confused for a moment or are a repeat offender!"

"Don't talk nonsense to me, let's go! To the security department!"

The Security Department will not show you any mercy now. They are cracking down on you recently. If you commit a crime at this time, it is undoubtedly a crime against the wind. There is no reason to let you off easily. Two security guards grabbed Niu Dahai and took him to the Security Department for interrogation.

After Niu Dahai was taken away, the flow of people at the factory gate returned to normal again. The security department continued to check whether the workers had taken anything out without permission.

This is a very common thing. Just like what Captain Wang said, no one is well off these days, so some workers will steal things from the factory. Usually, they are waste materials from the production process. They are only the size of a palm and can be easily hidden in clothes and sold to the waste recycling station.

The waste recycling stations know that these things come from illegal sources, but they will still accept them, and they don't count the public accounts. They have formed an industrial chain.

It is impossible to trace when this kind of thing started. It was even more rampant during the three-year famine. However, the situation was really difficult at the time, and the new director of the Security Department just wanted to retire peacefully, so he let these things go.

It's just that the security department has been conducting strict inspections recently. Not only have the fines been severe, but the frequency of random inspections of workers by security guards at the gate has also increased significantly.

In the past, they would randomly check three or four people out of a thousand, but now they have to check three or four out of a hundred. Obviously, more people are being checked.

It has been a week since the security department started the strict inspection. Nearly 300 people have been arrested for various crimes, almost half of the people in the workshop. The workers are obviously nervous. Under the strict inspection, the number of crimes and violations has indeed decreased a lot.

Only after seeing the group of workers arrested by the security department walk far away from the factory did some people dare to complain in a low voice.

"The security department is so inhumane. They are checking so strictly now that we can hardly make ends meet."

His words were echoed by several workers.

"That's what I mean. The security department is too much. We work hard every day, but they still treat us like thieves!"

"I would complain to them!"

"Yes, complain!"

Several workers shouted along, looking very excited.

At this time, an old worker saw through everything and shook his head and said, "What's the point of you talking here? If you have the guts, go to the security department." The old worker's words made the group of workers who were shouting to complain just now freeze up and become quiet in an instant.

In fact, they are just talking nonsense. Although the status of workers in this era is high, the security department is even more fierce.

Besides, it is reasonable for the security department to catch people who violate the rules, and the things they did were not worthy of being brought to the table, especially stealing.

In the era of material scarcity, thieves were the most destitute criminals, because stealing could very likely lead to the death of an entire family or starvation.

If they really dare to go to the Security Department to make trouble, they will inevitably be beaten by the Security Department's dictatorial iron fist, and their identity as workers will be in jeopardy.

These workers were just complaining privately to vent their dissatisfaction. They didn't have the courage to go to the security department to cause trouble for themselves. After the old worker pointed it out, they quickly scattered like birds and beasts. It was a pure mob.

Yi Zhonghai put his hands behind his back and listened to the discussions around him. He walked towards the courtyard with Jia Dongxu. When there were fewer people on the road, Yi Zhonghai asked in a low voice:

"Dongxu, you haven't done anything illegal recently, right?"

Chapter 10 Siheyuan Washing Chicken

Jia Dongxu used to do some petty thefts in the steel mill, or play cards with others in secret places where no one was around.

Although other workers were dissatisfied with his frequent absences from work, they could not do anything to him because he had the protection of the old master Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai had stolen parts from the factory when he was young, but in recent years he has a higher level of work and a higher salary. In addition, he has no pressure to support his family and his salary is not enough to spend. In addition, he cares about his reputation, so Yi Zhonghai no longer does such things.

He is now worried that Jia Dongxu might be caught by the security department for stealing. After all, this is his first choice for retirement. He doesn't want Jia Dongxu to commit a crime and be caught by the security department.

Jia Dongxu said with an unhappy look:

"Master, the factory is in chaos right now because of those bastards in the security department. How dare I do that?"

“I can’t find anyone to play cards with these days.”

Jia Dongxu is now a second-level worker (he has been a second-level worker for more than ten years and will be a second-level worker until he dies). His monthly salary of more than 30 yuan is enough to support his family of five, including three adults and two children. In theory, it is enough

It's just that he has to give his dear mother Jia Zhang three yuan of pension every month. He is the only one in the family who has food supply. In addition, he also smokes, drinks, and plays cards with others, so the expenses are high. Therefore, he often makes some "unplanned income" at the steel mill.

Recently, the Security Department has been conducting a strict investigation, so Jia Dongxu didn't dare to commit crimes. His income has been low recently, and he has nowhere to vent his addiction to playing cards, which made Jia Dongxu a little angry.

"I'm glad you're okay. You know the security department has been cracking down on this recently, so you better be careful. I have some cornmeal at home, I'll give it to you later."

Jia Dongxu said with gratitude: "Thank you, Master." Turning his head, he muttered in his heart: "You old man, you are so rich, just give me some corn flour, and I will kill you. I don't know why you make so much money."

The master and the apprentice returned to the courtyard, seemingly in harmony but not in harmony. When they walked into the middle courtyard, they saw Qin Huairu, the washerwoman, coming out with a basin.

"Dongxu, uncle, are you back?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded to Qin Huairu, then turned and went into his home.

Jia Dongxu asked Qin Huairu, "Is the meal ready?"

Qin Huairu held the wooden basin and lowered her head and said, "The steamed buns are already steaming, but Shazhu hasn't come back yet."

In the past three years, there were disasters and every household had no food to eat.

Yi Zhonghai, the old scoundrel, wanted Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age, but during the disaster, the food in Pigeon City was too expensive, and he didn't want to spend a lot of money to support the Jia family, so he tricked Sha Zhu into giving the Jia family lunch boxes.

This guy, Shazhu, thinks he is a big man in the city, and the most important thing is his face.

With his sweet talk, Yi Zhonghai exaggerated the fact that Sha Zhu used his lunch box to support other people's family into something unprecedented and everyone should give him a thumbs up and praise him. He then let this idiot happily support the Jia family and let this family suck their blood.

...Of course, it is not ruled out that there is a reason for the awakening of Cao Ze, a hidden thief by some fool.

Jia Dongxu said with an unhappy look:

"Why is that idiot wasting time? What should I do if my mother is hungry?"

"Go wait at the door in a while, and when that idiot comes back, quickly bring back the lunch box!"

Jia Dongxu looked down on Sha Zhu, but at the same time he wanted to eat Sha Zhu's lunch box. He had no psychological burden at all. His shameless appearance was exactly the same as Jia Zhangshi. They were indeed mother and son. Their genes were really strong.

Qin Huairu didn't dare to refute Jia Dongxu's bad tone and agreed weakly.

Qin Huairu wiped her eyes only after Jia Dongxu entered the room.

Thinking back to the time when Qin Huairu was a beautiful girl in Qinjia Village, she would have had two or three families to choose from if she married into the city, but she just believed Jia Zhang's lies.

What's the point of having a house and a job, having a master to take care of her in the factory, and having a mother-in-law to help take care of the children in the yard? She just wants to enjoy her life.

The results of it?

It is true that there is a master taking care of him in the factory, but Jia Dongxu has been taken care of for more than ten years and is only a second-level worker. He is a loser at all.

Jia Zhangshi was even more lazy and greedy. Qin Huairu showed her true colors the day after she got married. She ordered her to work directly. It was even more impossible to expect Jia Zhangshi to take care of the children.

Qin Huairu had been married for more than ten years. She had a relatively comfortable life for half a month after giving birth to her first child, Bang Geng. But after giving birth to her second child, Xiao Dang, she was directly scolded by Jia Zhangshi as a jinx. She was ordered to do chores even without a day's rest.

Qin Huairu had regretted it a long time ago, but now she has two children, has no job, and doesn't even have a city hukou. What can she do even if she regrets it?

Qin Huairu felt regretful and touched her belly subconsciously.

'This month's relatives came more than a week late. Maybe she's pregnant again. I hope this baby will be a boy, otherwise...'

Thinking of the insults and harassment she had endured from Jia Zhang after giving birth to Xiao Dang last time, Qin Huairu felt a trace of resentment in her heart, but she quickly controlled her expression and squatted by the sink to start washing clothes.

After washing and hanging the clothes, Qin Huairu came to the front door and waited for Sha Zhu to come back.

I don't know what happened in the cafeteria today. Sha Zhu was delayed for a while before coming back. When I saw Sha Zhu from afar, I felt happy at first, then sad.

Because she saw Shazhu's hands waving, and the lunch box in the net bag was swinging high up.

If the lunch boxes are full, the weight of the boxes will stretch the net bag tightly, and it will not swing unless you swing it hard.

The lunch box is hanging high now, it must be because it is empty.

Shazhu didn’t bring back any food?

Qin Huairu's heart tightened. After so many years, how could she not know the temper of the Jia family mother and son? If she couldn't eat Sha Zhu's lunch box today, not only would Sha Zhu be scolded, but she would definitely be scolded and even beaten.

Especially since Jia Dongxu has been in a bad mood in the past two days, maybe it will be a mother-son mixed doubles match.

Thinking of this, the part of Qin Huairu's body that Jia Zhang often pinched seemed to hurt again. She quickly calmed down and controlled the expression on her face. When Sha Zhu came closer, Qin Huairu took two steps forward.

"Zhuzi, you're back"

Chapter 11 Sha Zhu: This is the face we men want

Seeing Qin Huairu, Sha Zhu couldn't help but smile, and his handsome old face instantly wrinkled like an orange peel.

"Sister Qin, it's so cold, why are you standing outside? Don't freeze yourself."

"It's nothing. I just finished washing clothes. I saw you weren't back yet at this time, so I came out to check. I was afraid you might be in danger."

'Sister Qin is caring about me'

Seeing Qin Huairu saying such caring words in a delicate and weak way, Sha Zhu's male chauvinism and dog-licking heart were satisfied at the same time, and he felt very happy.

Qin Huairu was disgusted with Sha Zhu's wretched look, but she managed to control her expression well.

"Come on, Zhuzi, you've been tired all day, let me help you carry your things."

Sha Zhu was about to show off that he was strong and not tired at all after a day's work, but suddenly he remembered that his lunch box was light, and his handsome face suddenly became a little embarrassed.

"This... Sister Qin, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I don't have lunch boxes for you today."

Qin Huairu had guessed the result just now when she saw the lunch box dangling, but her heart sank slightly when she heard Sha Zhu say it. She looked concerned and said:
