Siheyuan: Start with a Truck Driver

Xiao Liu's name is Liu Dashan, and he is a clerk in the street office.

In fact, there is a problem in saying this, because he is actually just a temporary worker.

I can only get a salary of fifteen yuan a month.

He was not able to become a regular employee simply because Liu Dashan had been working in the subdistrict office for a long time.

So everyone assumed that he was the official responsible for the street.

Liu Dashan is very satisfied with having such a job.

the reason is simple.

His father was originally a large landowner on the outskirts of the city before liberation.

Later, his father kicked him and his mother out.

They did not leave any property to their mother and son.

, but according to the above regulations, Liu Dashan's background will definitely be bad.

By chance, Liu Dashan met Liu Haizhong.

Liu Haizhong gave him an idea, that is, let him put his name on a distant relative.

His distant relative was a farmhand before liberation, and thus Liu Dashan had a background as a farmhand.

Because of this background and the fact that he is very clever, he got the job of a temporary worker in the street office.

Even though he is just a temporary worker, he also earns a lot of money by helping some friends on weekdays.

He also married a beautiful daughter-in-law and gave birth to two sons. Liu Dashan felt that his life was already perfect and happy.

this morning.

He left home on his bicycle as usual and drove happily towards the street office.

He also greeted the residents along the way. The residents were very happy when they saw a street office official greeting them, and nodded at Liu Dashan with a smile.

Just at this time.

A figure appeared in front of Liu Dashan.

Liu Dashan was startled and quickly held the bicycle brake. The bicycle's wheels drew a black mark on the ground.

Fortunately, his timing of pinching was timely enough so that he didn't hit that person.

Liu Dashan was startled and opened his mouth to say: "What are you doing? Do you know? If I had been slower just now, I might have killed you!"

Our sub-district office has popularized traffic safety knowledge with residents several times. When crossing the road, you must not rush out and block the road! "

When Liu Dashan saw clearly the person standing opposite him, his eyes widened in shock.

"How could it be you, eldest mother? How did you come here?"

Auntie looked at Liu Dashan and said, "Xiao Liu, you are doing great now. You have become the most promising street office officer in our street office!"

Liu Dashan sensed something was wrong in his tone and quickly said with a smile.

"Auntie, it's what you said. How can you not understand if others don't know it? I'm just a temporary worker. No matter how good I am, I can't be promoted!"

Aunt Yi said coldly to Xiao Liu: "Don't fool me, old lady. I know that you have a good relationship with several deputy directors of the sub-district office. You are the kind of person who can speak well in the sub-district office." .”

"That's because people think highly of me. I don't have that much ability anymore."

"Liu Dashan, don't talk to me about these things. The reason why I found you today is that I need your help with one thing, and that is to ask you to help me rescue Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu from Liu Haizhong!"

Auntie didn't want to talk to Liu Dashan here, so she directly stated her purpose.

When Liu Dashan heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he frowned and said, "Auntie, they have been locked up. They have made mistakes. How can people just let them go?

Do you think the street office is a vegetable market? I am just a temporary worker, how can I be so capable?"

The aunt said in a cold voice: "Stop lying to me. Don't I know the seriousness of what the three of them committed? I'm telling you now, if you don't help me handle this matter, then I will take your previous If you tell everything, you will be fired from the sub-district office, and you won’t be able to blame me!"

When Liu Dashan heard Auntie's threat, he wanted to get angry.

But he knew very well that Aunt Yi's threats were not wrong. Those matters were particularly serious. As long as Aunt Yi handed over a letter of report, the higher-ups would definitely investigate.

Don't say that he won't be able to become a temporary worker when the time comes, he might even have to be imprisoned.

Liu Dashan immediately calmed down when he thought that he would lose everything.

He took a deep breath and said: "Aunt Yi, the matter of the three of them is indeed difficult to deal with. After all, they are handled by Director Wang of the subdistrict office personally. How can I, a small temporary worker, persuade Director Wang!"

"This is your business and has nothing to do with me. I just need to see the result. If the three of them are not released this week, then I'm sorry, you just have to wait to be expelled from the street office!"

Auntie knows the temperament of people like Liu Dashan.

If you speak nicely to them, they will not take your thoughts to heart.

If you treat them with cold words directly, they might give in.

Sure enough, after hearing what Auntie said, Liu Dashan's attitude immediately softened, and he promised Auntie that he would try his best to handle this matter after returning to the street office.

"Well, I'll just wait for them to come back."

Liu Dashan watched Auntie Li grit her teeth in anger, but there was nothing he could do. After all, his handle was in someone else's hand.

After Liu Dashan came to the sub-district office, he first helped the deputy directors of the sub-district office to fetch water, and then went to the office of Director Wang of the sub-district office to fetch water for Director Wang.

Director Wang saw that Xiao Liu's attitude was very gentle.

After all, in his opinion, this Xiao Liu is a very capable street office worker.

Although he is only a temporary worker, his work is better than that of regular workers.

Especially at the end of each year, the sub-district office is extremely busy. Liu Dashan often takes the initiative to work overtime and is busy for several nights.

Leaders like this kind of hard-working employees.

Director Wang drank tea and noticed that Liu Dashan seemed to be in a bad mood and asked with a smile.

"Xiao Liu, what's wrong with you? Did something happen at home? Tell me."

The main reason why Officer Liu stayed in Director Wang's office of the Subdistrict Office for so long was to wait for Director Wang's words.

He leaned forward and said with a smile: "Director Wang, don't tell me, there is really something, but this matter is very difficult, so I don't dare to tell you."

"Director Liu, we have known each other for seven or eight years. If you have anything to say, just tell me. Even if you are wrong, I will not blame you." Director Wang said with a smile.

Director Liu said: "The thing is like this, you also know that I married a daughter-in-law, and my daughter-in-law has a relative, who is related to Liu Haizhong's family.

Now someone has found my wife through some connections and wants me to help her get her bangs out.

But you know I have always been an upright person. How can you do such a violation of discipline?

So I dismissed the matter righteously at that time, but my wife had a bad temper and was having trouble with me at home these past two days.

Especially when she gets angry, she doesn't even care about her children. Now my two children cry for their mother every night. "

Hearing that the matter was related to Liu Haizhong, Director Wang frowned slightly and continued.

"Liu Dashan, you were right to reject your wife. Our street office is a place that serves the people. We must treat everyone equally and cannot have relationships."

"Yes, yes, Director Wang, you are absolutely right. We are so lucky to have a director like you in our sub-district office!" Director Liu said, clapping his hands.

He knew very well the temper of Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office.

If he begs now, Director Wang of the sub-district office will definitely doubt him, and the loss may outweigh the gain by then.

So the best way is to wait and see what happens and wait for the opportunity to come.

Sure enough, after a while, a young street office worker broke in.

"Report to Director Wang, something serious has happened. The old woman named Jia Zhang who we arrested last time suddenly fell ill. Now the police station has asked us to help take care of her as soon as possible."

Hearing this, Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office frowned and said, "Jia Zhang is sick, so his family should be notified to take care of him. Why should we send people from the Subdistrict Office!"

The young street office officer explained: "Director Wang, what happened is this, Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were both arrested, and the Jia family now only has one son and two daughters outside.

Comrades from the police station tried to contact their children, but no one was found.

I heard from the residents in the courtyard that since the two were arrested, their children have never returned to the courtyard!

The manpower at the police station is also very tight, and they are unwilling to send people to take care of parents. "

After figuring out the reason, Director Wang of the sub-district office frowned in frustration.

The old lady Jia Zhang was addicted to taking painkillers, and her body had collapsed a long time ago. Now she was in the police station, and because she had no painkillers, she fell ill every three days.

And Jia Zhang has not been sent to the bureau now.

The superiors were not responsible for Jia Zhang's medical expenses, but in the past few days, the subdistrict office spent more than three yuan.

This time Jia Zhang's condition seems to be very serious, and he may have to spend more money.

Director Wang from the sub-district office said with a long sigh.

"How about we take out one of the street office officers who promote fire prevention knowledge and send him to the police station to take care of Jia Zhang."

Liu Dashan listened to the whole process. When the opportunity came, he quickly stood up and approached Director Wang and said.

"Director, it's winter now, and every household has begun to use coal fires for heating. Some families even bought wood from the suburbs and built braziers in their homes. If they don't pay attention to fire prevention knowledge, they might cause big trouble. .

By then there was a fire in our neighborhood.

When the superiors came to investigate, they found that our fire prevention knowledge was not properly publicized, so our street office would be in big trouble. "

Director Wang is also aware of this situation.

At this time, collective heating had not been provided in Beijing.

In the severe cold winter, each household has to find its own solution to the heating problem. Every year, two or three fires occur in the neighborhood.

Compared with those residents, Jia Zhang is not worth mentioning at all.

But Mrs. Jia Zhang is sick now. If there is no one to take care of her, it won't be like that.

Officer Liu took the opportunity and continued: "Director Wang, what Jia Zhang and others committed is not a big deal. I think we can let them receive education at home, and then let them report to our subdistrict office regularly and report on ideological work. "

At this time, the two deputy directors next to him also nodded in agreement with Liu Dashan's opinion.

"Yes, Director Wang, we have already reported the situation of the three of them to the superiors. The superiors also feel that they do not constitute punishment, so they have not been sent to the bureau for a long time."

"The manpower of our sub-district office is relatively tight now. If we allocate more people to take care of Jia and Zhang, we will not be able to do our job!"

"Also, our subdistrict office's office funds are already very tight, and now we have to waste it on treating pretenders. If the residents in the block know about it, they will definitely have objections."

"It's better to follow Liu Dashan's advice. Let's just let them go."

After listening to the opinions of the deputy directors, Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office decided to send Jia Zhang's Liu Haizhong and Qin Huairu home.

The three of them have been locked up there for a week or two, and they all look haggard.

Especially when Jia Zhang came out of the police station, she still needed Qin Huairu's support.

But after she walked for a while, when she couldn't see the police station door, Jia Zhang suddenly became lively again.

"Hahahahahaha, they want to punish my old lady, they are just wishful thinking!"

Jia Zhang looked at Qin Huairu and said, "Qin Huairu, have you learned it?"

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes at him and asked, "What did you learn?"

Jia Zhang said coldly: "Let me ask you what kind of food are you eating in the police station these days?"

Qin Huairu said: "What else could it be? Of course it's clear soup with little water. I can't eat enough every day. Look at me, I've lost several kilograms due to hunger!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang said proudly: "That's because you are stupid. Look at me getting sick food every time I pretend to be sick. There is a lot of skin in it."

Seeing Jia Zhang's frustrated look, Qin Huairu shook her head in annoyance.

She wanted to pretend to be sick, but she was young, so even if she was pretending to be sick, others would have to believe her.

"Okay, you two, stop arguing. Let's go back quickly. If those people change their minds again, it will be troublesome."

Liu Haizhong was unhappy when he saw the two of them standing on the roadside arguing.

Although he didn't know why he was released this time, since he was released, he had to go home quickly.

The three of them jogged all the way back to the courtyard, immediately attracting the attention of the residents.

The third uncle was holding a fishing rod and was about to go fishing. When he saw the three people coming in, he asked in surprise: "Oh, how come you three were let out!"

Liu Haizhong shouted at the third uncle: "Third uncle, what do you mean? Can't we be released? Do we have to be locked up in there for the rest of our lives!"

Jia Zhang also said: "Yes, Lao Yan, I think you don't have good intentions. You are the worst person in our compound."

Qin Huairu also rolled her eyes: "Third uncle, we got out with great difficulty. Are you too heartless to say this?"

The third uncle didn't think of himself. He just said a word and made them so angry.

He shook his head with a wry smile and said, "These people have come out again, and there will definitely be no peace in the courtyard again."
