The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 374 Intrigue, Jia Zhang’s willingness to be a gun

It was almost noon when the Jia and Zhang family finished their work.

Yi Zhonghai was worried about the Jia family's affairs, so he took an afternoon off and returned to the courtyard.

After dinner.

As the landlord, Yi Zhonghai closed the door and held a joint meeting between Yi and Jia.

Mainly discuss the follow-up issues of the Jia family.

When he learned that Jia Zhang wanted to ask for compensation from Li Aiguo, Yi Zhonghai frowned.

It's not that he felt sorry for Li Aiguo.

Instead, he wanted to make a fuss about this matter and did not want to touch Li Aiguo for the time being.

Good steel must be used on the blade.

"Sister-in-law, that guy Li Aiguo is not easy to deal with. Should we find another way?"

Jia Zhang frowned and said, "Yi Zhonghai, are you afraid of being bullied by Li Aiguo? Have you become like a deaf old lady?"

"What are you talking about!"

Yi Zhonghai knew Jia Zhang's temperament.

If you want her to obey you, you have to break her head and bleed.

So I stopped trying to persuade him.

Yi Zhonghai said sadly: "Sister-in-law, you can go ahead, I support you!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang stood up holding on to the table: "Lao Yi, don't worry, this time my house collapses, the residents will not side with Li Aiguo."

Li Aiguo returned home with the sauerkraut jar in his arms, but Chen Xueru hadn't come back yet.

He was going to make a fire to cook.

Today I have sauerkraut, cook a pot of millet porridge, and fry seven or eight eggs, which can barely make a meal.

Before the fire was lit, I heard a shout from outside.

"Li Aiguo, come out!"

The voice sounds like it belongs to Jia Zhang.

But why doesn’t this old guy stop cursing?

Carrying the fire pliers, Li Aiguo opened the door and walked out of the house.

I saw Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu standing side by side by the flower bed.

Everyone held their heads high, just like the Nima Demolition Squad.

Mrs. Jia Zhang was originally angry, but when she saw the fire pliers, she couldn't help but shrink her neck, and her momentum suddenly dropped a lot.

"Li, Li Aiguo, my house collapsed."

"Ah, I know. I was the one who rescued Jia Dongxu. Do you want to thank me? No need!" Li Aiguo said coldly: "I am a kind person. Even if I see a wild cat or dog, I will save it." .”

Jia Dongxu: "."

Jia Zhangshi: "."

She always felt a little scared every time she saw Li Aiguo.

Just to repair the house, I can’t worry about so much.

With her hair standing on end and her face gloomy, Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and said, "My house collapsed because you bombed it. You have to pay for it."

Jia Dongxu added: "Also, as the captain of the voluntary patrol team, you failed to detect the danger in time. I was almost killed and you also have to pay compensation."

Jia Zhangshi and Jia Dongxu both launched attacks. As a teammate, Qin Huairu seemed to have something to say.

It’s just that her skills are not yet deep. She tilted her head and couldn’t think of a reason. She could only pinch her waist and hesitantly said: “You, you pay!”

Hey guys, let's form a team to attack.

"Since you said that, let's reason." Li Aiguo raised the tongs.

Jia Zhang was much smarter than Ma Xiaojun. She subconsciously took a step back and got out of the attack range.

Ginger is still old and spicy.

Li Aiguo could only give up the idea of ​​venting his anger temporarily, and said with a smile: "First, Mr. Jia Zhang, you were bombed because you stole my coal.

The coal was obtained from the Luanping Coal Mine by the Locomotive Maintenance Department, and the bombs in the coal were left by the Japanese, so you should hold the Japanese accountable.

Well, if you decide to go overseas, I will personally sponsor you a dime. "

Jia Zhang was speechless immediately.

Li Aiguo continued: "When we inspected the house, you guaranteed that there was no problem with the house, and you even wrote a letter of guarantee."

As he spoke, he took out the piece of paper from his pocket and waved it in the air so that the residents could see it.

"Jia Zhang also drew a pig on it as a signature."

In order to deal with Li Aiguo, Jia Zhang went from door to door to complain.

Although the people who didn't know the truth didn't believe it, the house collapsed after all.

Now that I see the Jia family's letter of guarantee, I feel relieved.

Aunt Liu breathed a sigh of relief: "Let me tell you, this kid Ai Guo has always been prudent in his affairs and would not deliberately fail to check the Jia family."

"Jia Zhang is a liar, her mouth should be torn apart." He Yuyu nodded heavily.

Yan Bugui had been hiding nearby and did not come forward. Now seeing that the Jia family was at a disadvantage, he coughed twice and walked out.

"Sister-in-law of the Jia family, your house has collapsed. It is indeed worthy of sympathy, but you cannot frame a good person."

In this incident, Yan Bugui got three new nets for nothing.

The third aunt said that there are many benefits to joining Li Aiguo.

"If it weren't for patriotism this time, our compound would have been flooded. How could you, Jia Zhang, deliberately slander a meritorious minister?"

If it weren't for Yan Bugui being a cultural person.

The sentence "deliberate slander" struck a chord with Ms. Jia Zhang and reminded the residents that Ms. Jia Zhang had a criminal record.

"This bird from my hometown is not a good bird at first glance!"

"Just wait for the day when you can eat black dates."

"We have to be careful about her in the future."

Everyone in the courtyard pointed at Mrs. Jia Zhang and started talking.

Jia Zhang didn't think she had done anything wrong. Li Aiguo bombed her house and she should compensate her family.

At that time, she resorted to the trick: "Oh! It's unreasonable! Li Aiguo, the man who killed a thousand swords, bullied others! My family was forced to death!"

Qin Huairu sensed something was wrong, so she quickly stepped forward and whispered in her ear: "Mom, Li Aiguo has a big gun."

During this time, Xu Damao was shouting from the side: "The old lady from the Jia family is causing trouble again. Aiguo, you are the captain of the patrol team now, so you might as well force her down."

Hearing this, Mrs. Jia Zhang immediately stopped crying, stood up from the ground, and dusted herself off, as if her alleged act just now was just a fall.

The residents who were watching also laughed at her appearance.

Amidst the laughter, Jia Zhang felt that she would not get any benefits today, and since Yi Zhonghai never showed up, she prepared to retreat with her pig teammates.

"Oh, look, there's a big plane in the sky."

She pointed to the sky, turned around and ran away.

How old are you to still play such childish things?

Li Aiguo glanced at the sky and stopped her quickly: "Jia Zhang, you want to run away after making trouble? Who gives you such a big face?"

"What do you want?" Seeing that the golden cicada couldn't escape its shell, Jia Zhang could only say with a pinched neck.

"My old lady didn't scold you or hit you, so I don't believe you dare to use a gun!"

Li Aiguo ignored her and touched his waist.

Seeing that Li Aiguo refused to give up, and Jia Zhang was not afraid of boiling water, Yan Bugui could only come out to smooth things over.

"What are you doing, Aiguo? We all live in the same hospital, so speak slowly if you have anything to say.

The third uncle is in charge, ask Jia Zhang to apologize to you, and this matter will be settled. "

"Lao Yan, I didn't curse, I just came to reason, why should I apologize?"

Seeing that Jia and Zhang were still making trouble, Yan Bugui's face became serious: "Sister-in-law of the Jia family, the three of you are blocking the door of someone's house. Are you so reasonable?"

Mrs. Jia Zhang blushed so hard that she couldn't speak.

In the end, I had no choice but to say with a blushing face: "I'm sorry, Li Aiguo, my old lady is uneducated and ignorant. Please forgive me for this."

This time Jia Zhang did not dare to make a fuss, and Li Aiguo did not want to argue with her, so he said coldly: "If you are not educated, you should learn to be educated, instead of taking ignorance as an honor.

Doesn’t our street office organize literacy classes? I think your whole family will need to go there to study. "

After saying that, he turned around and entered the house without looking at them again.

Jia Zhang was so angry that she gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

After all, he couldn't beat him again and again. If he acted rogue, Li Aiguo would really dare to take action.

There is no solution!

She could only take Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu back to Lao Yi's house.

Yi Zhonghai had long expected that the Jia family would be in trouble.

Putting down the enamel jar, he stepped forward and asked pretending to be concerned: "Sister-in-law, how is the situation? How much does Li Aiguo want to compensate you?"

"It's all about the neighbors in the compound. My wife doesn't care about them." Mrs. Jia Zhang felt embarrassed and said in a huff.

Seeing this situation, Yi Zhonghai understood clearly.

He asked Auntia to go into the kitchen and bring three bowls of Erhe noodles.

"Eat some food first and warm yourself up."

The three members of the Jia family began to eat, and Yi Zhonghai said slowly: "Sister-in-law, that boy Li Aiguo is notoriously difficult to deal with. This is a crime other than war!"

"What crime? Have I committed a crime?" Jia Zhang raised her head, with noodles hanging from the corners of her mouth.

"Crimes other than war means."

Yi Zhonghai wanted to explain to her, but he felt that she couldn't understand it even with her level of education, so he could only say bluntly: "Not guilty, you are not guilty."

'suck'

With the noodles in his mouth, Jia Zhang devoured them and said, "That's right, how could I commit a crime?"

Qin Huairu thought of the Jia family's house and felt a little overwhelmed.

Putting his chopsticks on the bowl, he said worriedly: "Master Yi, my house has collapsed now. It needs to be cleaned up. That will cost a lot of money."

Yi Zhonghai chuckled and said, "You guys are a little stupid."

Seeing that it attracted the attention of several people in the Jia family, he continued:

"Li Aiguo's money belongs to himself.

Even if his salary is high and he can get more than 100 yuan a month, he will not be willing to give it to others.

But the street office money is different.

It's public, so it doesn't hurt to use it. "

"Can the street office give me money?" Mrs. Jia Zhang also put down her chopsticks and frowned.

Jia Dongxu continued to eat, "Yes, master, my house was not damaged by the street office. Why should they pay for it?"

Yi Zhonghai picked up the enamel jar and took a sip, looking like an old god.

"Now is a new society, completely different from before liberation."

“Isn’t the purpose of the sub-district office to serve the people?”

"You are the people!"

"Now that your house has collapsed and you have no place to live, the street office can't just watch you sleep on the street."

After saying that, Yi Zhonghai increased his voice and added: "Besides, in the whole matter, didn't the street office make any mistakes?"

"They made a mistake and they should compensate!"

These words shocked the three Jia family members in the room.

They all came from before liberation.

In those years, let alone natural disasters, even if a fire was set by the government and set fire to other people's houses, the residents could not receive compensation.

Anyone who dares to make trouble in the government office will be arrested and beaten up.

But after liberation, it seems to be really different.

"The subdistrict office often helps the five-guarantee households, and it should also help our Jia family." Ms. Jia Zhang believed deeply.

Jia Dongxu slammed the table: "This heavy rainstorm is also the responsibility of the street office. They should pay compensation."

Jia Zhangshi: "."

Qin Huairu: "."

Taking a deep breath, Yi Zhonghai said: "Dongxu, we must be reasonable and well-founded, not nonsense."

"Master, I'm not talking nonsense. If the street office could predict heavy rains one month in advance, my family would definitely repair the house and avoid this disaster."

Jia Dongxu stood up confidently, waved his hands and said, "So the responsibility lies entirely with the street office."

Yi Zhonghai: "."

He felt that this apprentice was better than his master.

The old master was very pleased. With the unified goal, the Jia family suddenly became energetic, and Yi Zhonghai followed suit.

"Master, tell us what we should do!"

Yi Zhonghai smiled vaguely and said in a deep voice: "You can't do this recklessly. The three of you will go to the street office to find Director Wang tomorrow."

After listening to Yi Zhonghai's method, Jia Zhang and Jia Dongxu nodded frequently: "Lao Yi, this is a good idea. Director Wang always prides himself on doing his best for the residents, and I helped her get the limelight this time."

Qin Huairu sat beside him and said nothing, frowning slightly, as if he had different opinions.

The discussion is over.

Jia Zhang asked Qin Huairu to bring foot washing water, and she and Jia Dongxu washed their feet, and then went to bed.

The fire kang was burning brightly, and the heat was flowing over the kang. Mrs. Jia Zhang was lying on the bed, feeling comfortable all over.

"Yi Zhonghai, this old guy, really knows how to enjoy things. Once we get the compensation from the street office, we will also build a fire pit in our family."

Banggan had fallen asleep, Qin Huairu put him inside and covered him with a quilt.

Seeing that the aunt hadn't come in yet, Qin Huairu got under the quilt, leaned into Jia Zhang's ear, and whispered: "Mom, why do I feel that Master Yi wants to use us as swordsmen again?"

"Do you think I don't know?" Mrs. Jia Zhang rolled her eyes and said coldly: "This old guy has never been kind."

"Then you still listen to him?"

"You are stupid. It doesn't matter what Yi Zhonghai wants to do, as long as he can help us build the house." Jia Zhang narrowed her eyes and said with a hint of sinisterness in the corner of her mouth: "The street office is not easy to mess with. Government office.

You all have to highlight your talents tomorrow, don't just listen to Yi Zhonghai and get involved yourself. "

"Mom, don't worry."

Qin Huairu sighed secretly.

If he had followed Li Aiguo, he wouldn't have had to fight with each other all day long.

Looking at the black ceiling, Qin Huairu regretted a little.

At this time, the aunt took the opportunity of watering vegetables to pull Yi Zhonghai out of the house.

A ladle of water was poured on the cabbage, and the green leaves seemed to stretch a lot.

Auntie put the water back into the barrel, looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, I always feel that what you are going to do this time is a bit uncertain."

"Don't worry. The Jia family is the one who came forward, but Director Ma is the one who is causing trouble behind the scenes. This time we will sit firmly on the Diaoyutai."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking proudly, he impatiently picked up the wooden bucket and poured all the water into the vegetable field.

Looking at the vegetable leaves that had been knocked down by the water and stuck to the ground, the aunt smiled bitterly and shook her head.

She felt that things would not go as Yi Zhonghai wanted.

The next day.

The wind is gentle and the sun is shining.

The capital, which had been gloomy for several days, came to life again.

After heavy rain, there are mud and tree branches everywhere in the yard and on the road.

Early in the morning, the neighborhood office organized residents of various courtyards to clean their yards and roads.

Clean-up efforts have also begun for those affected by the disaster.

It was busy inside and outside the courtyard.

Li Aiguo had a driving duty, so he took Chen Xueru to the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office on his bicycle early in the morning, and then got into work.

In the Nantongluo Lane Subdistrict Office, Director Wang was also very busy. The neighborhood suffered serious damage in the heavy rain.

The walls of two large courtyards collapsed during heavy rains, and five sewage cellar entrances needed to be cleared. These are public areas and require maintenance by the street office on weekdays.

Therefore, superiors need to allocate materials and manpower to repair.

"Old Ma, have you calculated exactly how much supplies are needed?"

Director Wang called Deputy Director Ma, who was in charge of infrastructure logistics work, into the office.

Deputy Director Ma is also an old man from the sub-district office and served as the sub-district secretary before liberation.

The secretary is equivalent to the cadre of today's sub-district office. He is mainly responsible for the clerical work of the sub-district and assists the sub-district chief in administrative management.

After the liberation of the capital, there was an urgent need for neighborhood managers, and Deputy Director Ma had no bad records, so he was able to stay in office.

If you want to manage the grassroots level of a dynasty with flowing water and iron-clad officials, you must need these workers.

Deputy Director Ma also feels that the sub-district office cannot do without him.

"It's all here." Deputy Director Ma placed the materials on the table.

Director Wang took it and read it carefully, nodding frequently: "Old Ma, you are worthy of being an old street man. You have clearly calculated all the materials."

"That's your leadership."

"You, you, your old habits are back again. We don't want to brag about walking horses now."

"Yes, yes, look at me, I made a mistake again. I will study hard in the future and try to be like you."

Deputy Director Ma licked his face and said with a smile, "If nothing happens, I'll get busy first."

"Go ahead. Remember to check it on site in the afternoon. Make sure you don't miss anything."

"well."

Deputy Director Ma turned around, and the humble smile on his face suddenly disappeared and turned ferocious.

He is more than ten years older than Director Wang. He has worked in the street all his life and thinks that his abilities are far superior to Director Wang.

Just because he was a retainer from the previous dynasty, the director's position was taken away by Director Wang.

That's all. As long as you assist Director Wang, Director Wang will be promoted one day.

However, what Deputy Director Ma did not expect was that last year the district transferred Director Wang to head the education department.

But he was rejected by Director Wang.

Her so-called reason is that she likes working in the neighborhood and interacting with ordinary people.

Hypocrisy, so hypocritical!

What's there to do with those uneducated old ladies?

This means that Deputy Director Ma will be the deputy director for life.

"Old Wang, we have no grievances, but you want to block my way, so don't blame me for being rude."

Out of the office.

Deputy Director Ma paused for a moment, walked to the railing and looked downstairs, looking a little anxious.

He felt relieved when he saw Jia Zhang coming in with Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu.

Yi Zhonghai is indeed a student taught by the deaf old lady, and he is quite capable.

This was the first time that Ms. Jia Zhang came to the subdistrict office. After asking the officials where the director's office was, the three of them went straight to the second floor.

After passing by Deputy Director Ma and exchanging cryptic looks, Jia Zhang walked to the door of the director's office and knocked.

After there was a response from inside, he opened the door and entered the office.

Director Wang had just sorted out the materials. When he looked up and saw Mrs. Jia Zhang coming in, his brows suddenly furrowed.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, what's wrong with you?"

"Oops, Director Wang, my house has collapsed. You have to help me." Jia Zhang stepped forward with Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu.

She sat down on the chair and howled at the top of her lungs.

Director Wang hated this kind of old woman the most, but he couldn't get rid of it. He could only frown and said: "Your home has suffered a big disaster. We have learned about the situation and are going to ask the residents in the compound to help clean it up, and then we will introduce you to the regular construction team."

"That's it?" Jia Zhang's eyes widened.

"Jia Zhang, what else do you have in mind?"

Seeing Mrs. Jia Zhang's eyes rolling around, Director Wang understood that she had come prepared.

At this time, the office door was already crowded with people who came to do business and officials from the street office.

This abnormality made Director Wang even more wary.

It's hard to believe that Li Aiguo guessed it right. Someone wants to take this opportunity to cause trouble?

When Jia Zhang saw an audience, her expression became even more miserable.

Her shoulders were trembling slightly, and her hands were crossed on her chest, as if she was holding a piece of pain that was difficult to let go of.

"hold head high!"

Mrs. Jia Zhang cried loudly: "Director Wang, your street office collapsed my house but didn't pay compensation. Do you think that if Lao Jia dies, we can be bullied?"

"Hey, your house collapsed in the heavy rain. What does it have to do with our subdistrict office?" Director Wang felt confused.

Jia Dongxu puffed up his chest: "That's because your street office didn't make a forecast one week in advance. If we were prepared, how could the house collapse?"

As soon as these words came out, Director Wang of the Subdistrict Office was stunned.

What kind of thinking is this?

She took two deep breaths, suppressed her anger, and slowly explained to the Jia family: "Heavy rainstorms are sudden disasters, and the weather is unpredictable. According to our weather forecasting technology, it is still impossible to accurately predict the weather one week in advance."

Jia Dongxu was stunned when he heard this. He felt that Director Wang's words were correct, but...

When Jia Zhang saw that Jia Dongxu was being criticized, she stood up calmly, wiped her tears and said, "My old lady is uneducated, who knows if you are lying to me?"

Director Wang of the sub-district office finally understood that these people were here to play rogue.

"Ms. Jia Zhang, I sympathize with your family's situation, but this matter has nothing to do with the street office. You should go back quickly and find a way to raise money to build a house on your own."

Jia Zhang had no choice but to use her trump card: "Director Wang, your subdistrict office serves the people, and we are the people too. Why don't you help us build our houses."

"."

Director Wang has finally seen how rogue Jia Zhang is.

However, in her years of work in the neighborhood, she often encountered such people, and said calmly: "Our neighborhood has limited capabilities, and we can only try our best to help those people who really can't survive."

This was approved by the onlookers.

"Yes, if everyone is like Jia Zhang, asking the street office to help build a house or selling the street office will not be enough."

"Heavy rain is a natural disaster, but Jia Zhang wants to blackmail the street office. She is really courageous."

"She must think whoever is making trouble is justified."

"I think this kind of trend cannot spread. She should be locked up and given a good education."

Jia Zhang was caught by Director Wang in just a few seconds, which was not beyond Deputy Director Ma's expectations.

He clenched his fists tightly and waited for Director Wang to arrest Jia Zhang.

That way, the next steps will be easier to take.

But what he didn't expect was that Jia Zhang's attitude changed instantly when she saw Director Wang's face turning pale.

The anger on his face suddenly disappeared and turned into a sunny day.

She can change her face so fast that she can perform on stage.

Just when everyone was confused and couldn't figure out what she wanted to do.

Jia Zhang said respectfully: "Director, what you said makes sense. I will reflect on myself after I go back."

Good guy, why are you acting here so early in the morning? !

The sudden change in Jia Zhang's attitude made Director Wang give up on trying to deal with her.

"Okay, Mrs. Jia Zhang, for the sake of your age and education, I will let you go back this time. If you cause trouble again in the future, we must handle it in accordance with the rules and regulations."

"Yes Yes Yes"

Mrs. Jia Zhang left in despair with Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu.

Waiting to exit the gate of the street office.

Mrs. Jia Zhang turned to look at the majestic door and snorted: "Just wait, someone will give us money soon."

*

*

*

Jia Zhang's sudden defection was beyond Deputy Director Ma's expectation.

According to his original plan.

Jia Zhang went to the street to make trouble.

Director Wang of the subdistrict office should arrest Ms. Jia Zhang, and then he can go to the district to report that Director Wang is bullying the residents in his jurisdiction.

Now the plan is only halfway through, and there is no further progress.

This was unacceptable to Deputy Director Ma, who was waiting to take the position of director of the subdistrict office.

Taking the opportunity to inspect the disaster site, he quietly came to the steel rolling mill and found Yi Zhonghai.

After recounting what happened today, Deputy Director Ma narrowed his eyes and said, "Lao Yi, why is this Jia Zhang so timid? Even if she is arrested, I will fish her out."

Yi Zhonghai also didn't expect that Jia Zhang, who had always been brainless, would learn to be smart this time.

He patted Deputy Director Ma on the shoulder and said with a smile: "Old Ma, the responsibility here cannot be entirely on the Jia Zhang family. Who is not afraid of getting into the fence these days?"

Now it is different from before liberation. Now one person squats on a fence, and the whole family is affected.

If Jia Zhang really gets married, it will be difficult for Bangge to find a wife in the future.

Deputy Director Ma also knew that it would not work to get Jia Zhang to go to the streets to cause trouble.

He could only grit his teeth and say: "I originally thought of using force to deal with Director Wang, but now I can only bring the matter to the district. When Jia Zhang behaves badly, those leaders will definitely investigate Director Wang."

"In the meantime, I'm secretly doing some tricks, but I can still achieve my goal."

After making up his mind, Deputy Director Ma looked at Yi Zhonghai and said, "Old Yi, what will happen if Jia and Zhang continue to refuse to cooperate?"

"Jia Zhang is a greedy person. He only recognizes money and not people." Yi Zhonghai said.

Deputy Director Ma thought about the position of director of the subdistrict office, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll give it!"
