When Hua Twelve received the memories from the system, he had a strange expression on his face because of his identity and the property deed issue.

The system assigned him the identity of being born in Huajia Village, Central Plains in 1942. His family has a very high seniority in Huajia Village. It is said that his ancestor has only one son in the family, and over the years, most of the generations have had children in old age.

By the time Hua Twelve was born, he was the one with the highest seniority in the Hua family. The only ones older than him were his parents.

Even the old village chief had to call him "Grandpa" when he saw him.

In July 42, a great famine broke out in the Central Plains. Hua Shier's parents died during that period. Before they left, they entrusted him to the care of the old village chief of Huajia Village.

The old village chief promised the two ancestors that as long as he was still alive, he would not let the young master starve to death.

But no one expected that the famine would be so severe that the villagers could not survive. Those who had relatives in other places went to seek survival from their relatives. The only people left in the village were the old village chief and a dozen young men without parents to rely on. They were all starving and would have to wait to die in the village if nothing unexpected happened.

Fortunately, the old village chief had already written a letter to his son who was doing business in Beijing for help.

The old village chief's son was a very capable businessman in Beijing. He used his connections to bring the old village chief and the rest of the villagers to Beijing to settle down. The Sengwang Mansion in Nanluoguxiang was the residence of the old village chief's son at that time.

After the old village chief arrived in the capital, he discovered that his son had business dealings with the Japanese devils' company, and he immediately wanted to use family law to beat his son to death.

His son quickly told the truth. In fact, when his son was studying in Beijing, he was developed into an underground worker. On the surface, he was doing business with the Japanese, but secretly he was collecting intelligence on the Japanese invaders for our army.

Naturally, the old village chief could not listen to his son's one-sided story, so his son simply introduced all the people from Huajia Village to Taihang Mountains to participate in the revolution.

Time flies and it is the eve of the surrender of the Japanese. Due to work needs, the old village chief's son is transferred to work in the Magic City. However, due to the betrayal of a traitor, he is captured by the Japanese and died in prison.

Originally, the Japanese were planning to attack the old village chief, but they happened to be robbed on their own land and surrendered, so the old village chief and Hua Twelve escaped.

Losing his son in his old age was a great blow to the old village chief. He died within a few years, before liberation, leaving Hua Twelve to live with an old servant.

Hua Twelve was only five or six years old at that time. The old servant knew that people were treacherous and that he would not be able to guard such a big house with just a child. So he asked Hua Twelve to keep the house deed and some valuables and never show them to anyone. He should just tell others that he was renting the house.

Because of the great population mobility in those days, no one knew their background.

After the liberation of the capital, the Military Control Commission sent six plaques of Glorious Families and Martyrs' Families. These were the people from Huajia Village who participated in the revolution. In the Battle of Taiyuan, our army suffered more than 45,000 casualties, and these six people from Huajia Village died in this battle.

These six are only those whose identities can be confirmed. It is still unknown whether all the dozen or so people who joined the army died.

Later, the situation of the old village chief's son was verified, and the Military Control Commission sent a certificate of glorious home and martyr's family.

Although all the victims were from Huajia Village, they were not from the same family, so there were seven glorious home plaques for seven martyrs. And because Hua Twelve was the only relative they could find, these things, together with the pensions for the seven martyrs, were given to him.

This is why Hua Shier alone is the martyr's relative of seven families.

Because the old servant died just after the liberation, Hua Shier remembered the former's instructions and did not take out the house deed, so the Monk King's Mansion in Nanluoguxiang was entrusted to the trusteeship of the street, which is why the families of the steel rolling mill employees moved in.

As for the deaf old lady, she moved in before liberation when she saw that there was no one in the compound. As for her origins, Hua Twelve had no clear memory of them.

According to the Guo family's policy at the time, those who held a house deed from the Republic of China period could go to the street to register, cancel the escrow of the house, and take back their property. This is why Hua Twelve was able to use the house deed from the Republic of China period to get his property back.

Director Wang explained in public the origin of Hua Twelve's real estate and the causes and consequences of the seven martyrs' relatives plaques, and everyone in the courtyard finally understood.

Yi Zhonghai groaned in his heart, Sha Zhu looked confused, and Qin Huairu's eyes were shining, but she hid it very well and no one noticed.

Xu Damao clapped his hands and quacked loudly, shouting, "Seven relatives of martyrs, it's an honor. We can live in the same courtyard with my twelve brothers, it's also an honor!"

Nowadays, people have a strong sense of honor and martyrs are worthy of respect. It is an honor to have a martyr's relative in a courtyard, not to mention that Hua Shier has seven of them. Many neighbors clapped their hands, their faces flushed, and looked proud of themselves.

Hua Twelve coughed lightly and reminded Xu Damao with a half-smile: "My great-grandson would be over seventy if he were still alive. You call me brother?"

Xu Damao smiled awkwardly: "Let's talk about our own affairs!"

"Okay, from now on I'll call you Brother Mao, and you call me Grandpa!"

Xu Damao: "."

Yan Bugui said to Hua Twelve: "Twelve, as a family member and elder of the seven martyrs, please say a few words to us, so that we can all learn from the spirit of the martyrs!"

When he said this, many people started to make a noise. Director Wang also laughed: "Twelve, just say a few words!"

Hua Twelve nodded: "Then let me talk about the rent increase."

Everyone fell silent, and Yan Bugui almost slapped himself in the face.

Hua Twelve ignored that and continued:

"I've learned about it. According to the Guo Family Spirit, which is the '58 Rent Standard' issued in 20, the rent for grassroots workers should not exceed 4-5 yuan for a living area of ​​about square meters. The rent in our compound is obviously too low. Some families only pay one or two yuan."

"So I decided to respond to the Guo family's call. Starting from next month, the rent of Yi Zhonghai's family and He Yuzhu's family will increase by two yuan. The Jia family has a large population and is relatively poor, so the rent will increase by one yuan. The rent of other households will remain unchanged. Okay, it's settled."

The neighbors in the compound were all worried, but when they heard that only Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu, and the Jia family had raised their rent, they all breathed a sigh of relief. At the same time, they also understood that this was Hua Twelve's revenge. Was it enough to just pay compensation? The revenge was here!

Yan Bugui, the stingy old man, was the first to applaud:

"Twelve heroes, come back to my house for dinner. I'll let your third aunt cook the little fish I caught, our master."

He wanted to say "we two fathers", but when he thought about the fact that Hua's 12th great-grandson would be over 70 years old, he quickly changed his words:

"Let's have a couple of drinks!"

Other neighbors also invited them enthusiastically, and they all wanted to deal with the landlord and not raise their rent in the future.

  Suddenly, there was a roar like a wild animal, and Xu Damao was startled:

"Did a wild boar get into town?"

Then Jia Zhang jumped out and said, "You are such a jinx. You raised the rent for our family. You have no conscience. Are you trying to drive our family to death?"

Qin Huairu cried and wiped her tears: "Twelve."

  Before she could even express her sympathy, the neighbors in the compound started to make trouble. It was a matter of their own interest. They said that your Jia family is in trouble because you schemed against Hua Twelve. It is only right that the rent is raised. If you continue to make trouble, what if everyone raises the rent?

So the neighbors in the compound ganged up on them and scolded the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu so much that they became autistic. There was so much spit that they couldn't even open their eyes!

  Hua Twelve announced again:

"Jia Zhang insulted me, and the rent has increased by another 50 cents a month. In addition, I don't want any of the rent from this courtyard. I will donate it all to the most lovely people and use it to help the poor martyrs' families solve their life difficulties. I will ask the street office to help with this matter!"

This time, Director Wang took the lead in applauding. This is a level of awareness that no one else has. Moreover, this is the political achievement of the Street Office. This is what it means to be a good person and do good things, and to support and love the army! This is it!

Hua Shier won over all the residents of the courtyard except Yi Zhonghai, He Yuzhu and the Jia family by raising the rent. He won over Director Wang by donating the rent and made the street office his backer. In addition, with the seven plaques of martyrs' relatives, even in the special era that followed, no one would bother him as long as he didn't commit suicide.

Yi Zhonghai sighed inwardly, knowing that he had lost completely this time and would probably have to avoid Hua Twelve in the future.

Jia Zhang didn't dare to say anything else. The other party collected the rent but didn't want it, so they donated it all to other martyrs' families, and also handed it over to the street office for processing. If she dared to make a fuss again, she would be going against Director Wang, and she wouldn't dare to do that even if she had the guts.

  He Yuzhu disagrees:

"I don't accept it. I used to live in the main house, so I accepted the price increase. But now you're giving me the side room, which is less than ten square meters. Why should I raise the price too?" Hua Twelve chuckled, "Your sister has another room? Do you really think that if you eat all the food, the whole family will not be hungry?"

This time Shazhu was silent, but judging from his expression, he was still unconvinced.

Hua Shier smiled. It was fine if he was not convinced. Fortunately, he had a backup plan. He did not pursue the matter on the surface just to give face to Director Wang. He did not say that the matter was really over.

He planned to find a way to get He Yuzhu's father He Daqing back from Baoding. By then, Yi Zhonghai's corruption of the He family's child support would be exposed. How could Shazhu find a wife when he was living in the side room with his father? With his father watching over him, he still wanted to send a lunch box to Qin Huairu? Dream on!

By then, Yi Zhonghai, the Jia family, and Sha Zhu will all be in trouble. It's like killing three birds with one stone, how wonderful!

Director Wang took the dejected Secretary Wu away, saying that he would criticize and educate Wu later.

The neighbors in the yard all invited Hua Twelve to their homes for dinner, hoping to please the landlord, but Hua Twelve refused all of them. However, he proposed that everyone help him move, and naturally all the neighbors agreed.

Everyone moved out all of Sha Zhu's things and piled them in the yard, then helped clean the room. After it was clean, they moved all of Hua Twelve's things into the main room.

After the work was finished, everyone went home. Sha Zhu looked at his things and junk piled up in the yard with no one taking care of them. He felt like crying but had no tears. He could only clean them up bit by bit by himself.

The next day, Hua Shier and Xu Damao went to the steel rolling mill to report. After the training, they officially started working in the security department.

The security chief's surname is Sun, and he is a retired soldier. He was very enthusiastic when he saw Hua Twelve:

"I've heard that you performed well in all projects during your training. Well done to you for not bringing shame to our steel mill. If you have any difficulties at work in the future, just tell me. You're welcome. Got it?"

After Section Chief Sun finished speaking, he explained the work content to Hua Twelve. He was required to stand guard for an hour in shifts every day, and then patrol the factory at fixed times. There was basically nothing to do the rest of the time.

However, sometimes there are overseas missions, such as when the factory's convoy escorts important materials to other places, the security department will send people with guns to follow the vehicle to protect the safety of the vehicle and cargo.

Hua Shier laughed after hearing this. He planned to wait until he had a car to go to Baoding, then he would volunteer to take care of He Daqing's matter.

The morning's work was relaxing and pleasant. At noon, I went to the cafeteria to eat with my new colleagues. While waiting in line, Sha Zhu, who had just finished cooking and was drinking tea and smoking in the kitchen, saw Hua Twelve and immediately gave a malicious grin.

When Hua Twelve was getting food at the window, Sha Zhu walked to the window and said to the lady getting food: "Liu Lan, take a break. I'll get food!"

Liu Lan was a little surprised: "Silly Zhu, have you changed your personality?"

Sha Zhu was a little impatient: "I told you to take a break, so you take a break. You are addicted to it!"

After saying that, he snatched the spoon for rice and smiled at Hua Twelve jokingly: "It fell into my hands, right? Bring me the lunch box, what are you standing there for!"

"I'm not thinking about raising someone's rent, but I think there's still room for someone's rent to increase!"

Hua Twelve said as he handed the lunch box to Sha Zhu: "Give me the shot!"

Sha Zhu had a gloomy face and gave Hua Twelve a lunch box. He was smart. The food was provided by the factory and the rent was his own. Wouldn't it be nice to save the money and buy something?

Seeing Hua Shier proudly going to eat with his coworkers, Sha Zhu threw the spoon into the rice bowl and said, "Liu Lan, it's your turn. You just think about being lazy all day long!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Liu Lan said, "This idiot is so shameless!"

From the day he revealed his identity as the landlord, Hua Shier was surrounded by good people in the courtyard. Even Jia Zhangshi didn't dare to scold him behind his back and took the initiative to apologize with a smile.

Only the deaf old lady complained to Lou Xiao'e behind his back that Hua Twelve did not respect his elders.

Lou Xiao'e covered her mouth and laughed: "Old lady, I heard that if Hua's 12th great-grandson were alive, he would be older than you. It's not certain who is the elder between the two of you!"

The old lady's face turned black: "What are you saying? I can't hear you."

On this day of rest, Hua Shier was enthusiastically invited by Yan Bugui to go fishing in the moat. When he got there, he was surprised to see that both sides of the moat were full of fishermen, ranging from men in their eighties to teenagers.

Yan Bugui couldn't find a good seat, so he simply took Hua Shier on a bike to Houhai.

Hua Shier's fishing gear was lent to him by Yan Bugui. After fishing for a long time, he caught nothing. Instead, Yan Bugui caught a grass carp weighing more than one kilogram, and turned around to show off to him.

He was just feeling bored when he felt the light dim. He turned around and saw two guys in their early twenties standing behind him with gloomy faces. They didn't look like they were there to watch him fishing.

"Is something wrong?"

Hua Shier felt that these two people looked familiar, as if he had seen them somewhere!

One of them saw that he only turned around and did not stand up, and immediately became angry:

"You're called Hua Twelve? You're so arrogant. You're sitting here talking to a man. I'll take you downstairs to cool down!"

As he said that, he kicked Hua Twelve in the back, obviously intending to kick him into the water.

  Hua Twelve's left hand was the first to arrive, and he used a monkey-stealing peach move to grab the peach directly. He didn't even use any strength, but the man couldn't stand it. Not to mention kicking, he fell to his knees and screamed:

"Release, let go!"

When the other young man saw that things were not going well, he swung his fist at him. Hua Twelve let go of the man and used the monkey stealing peach trick again.

The two people who were caught cried, and the last one left holding his crotch: "Just wait, don't leave if you have the guts!"

  After the two men left, Yan Bugui was so scared that he didn't dare to fish anymore. He quickly packed up and called Hua Twelve:

"Twelve, hurry up and leave. Those two don't look like good people. I'll call someone over soon!"

Hua Twelve returned the fishing rod to Yan Bugui. "Uncle, please go back first. I'll wait here for a while to see who is causing trouble for me!"

Yan Bugui was anxious: "Why are you so angry? Those two are obviously troublemakers. These youngsters are very ruthless. You are the only one who will suffer the consequences!"

Hua Shier called Yan Bugui closer and explained in a low voice:

"Don't worry, Uncle San. Don't forget that I'm in the security department of the steel mill. I have weapons on me. If they dare to attack me later, I'll take them to the police station!"

As he said this, he made the biu, biu, biu gesture.

Yan Bugui suddenly realized and breathed a sigh of relief, then he started thinking again: "Is that so? How about Third Uncle accompany you to meet them here?"

This is because he knows there is no danger, but he still wants to watch the fun!

Hua Twelve didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "You should go back first. If they start fighting, I have weapons and you don't. I will hurt you. Besides, it's possible that they will hold you hostage and threaten me!"

Yan Bugui then hurriedly packed up and left, and when he left, he did not forget to remind Hua Twelve to be careful.

After Yan Bugui left, Hua lit a cigarette and waited here. In less than ten minutes, the two men came with five or six more people. They all looked like gangsters, with cynical and arrogant expressions.

The leader was a strong man who looked very difficult to deal with.

The man came over and looked Hua Twelve up and down, then smiled coldly: "Remember, my name is Men San'er, don't look back or you won't know who hit you."
