Siheyuan: Lao Liu appears, everyone is confused

Chapter 163 Yi Zhonghai lost his eighth-level job

"Lao Yi, you have lost weight."

Seeing Yi Zhonghai's emaciated appearance as he walked out of it, Wang Guihua looked distressed.

In less than half a month, Yi Zhonghai became much more haggard and even had more white hair on his head than before.

Today is the day when Yi Zhonghai comes out of the small dark room. Wang Guihua has been waiting here early.

With him, there was Silly Zhu who came here from the factory to take a special leave.

Facing Yi Zhonghai, who seemed to have changed into a different person in a short period of time, Shazhu lowered his head in shame and said guiltily: "Master, you have suffered."

Strictly speaking, Yi Zhonghai suffered on his behalf.

Although it was Yi Zhonghai who came forward to report Wang Hao before, he was the one who stole the letter from the mailbox.

If he hadn't stolen the letter, Yi Zhonghai would not have reported Wang Hao, and what happened next would not have happened.

After Yi Zhonghai was arrested, he remained tight-lipped and never confessed to him.

Except for the first few days, he didn't even have the chance to see people outside, so he naturally had no way of knowing what was going on outside these days.

This made Silly Zhu both moved and guilty.

along the way.

Yi Zhonghai didn't say much, but Shazhu and Wang Guihua kept talking in his ears, especially what happened during Yi Zhonghai's absence in the courtyard.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but smile.

"Zhuzi, you are serious."

He never imagined that so many things would happen in the courtyard during such a short period of time when he was gone.

"Hey! Let's go home!"

"Yes, today is a good day. I didn't cry. I was happy." Wang Guihua quickly wiped her tears and forced a smile from her face.

however.

Yi Zhonghai was released today, and Shazhu came here specially to take him back with Wang Guihua.

……

The only thing that made him feel a little complacent and ridiculous was that during the days when he was not in the courtyard, the two still-in-charge courtyard masters, Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong, were of no use at all and could no longer support themselves.

Hearing Sha Zhu's words, Yi Zhonghai was a little touched and nodded happily.

The three of them returned to the courtyard.

Seeing this, Silly Zhu on the side also felt that something was wrong in the atmosphere, so he cheered up the atmosphere and said: "Auntie, today is the day when the uncle comes out. Why are you crying? This is a good day. You should be happy. All the bad luck in the past has passed. , it will get better and better in the future.”

"Lao Yi, you've finally come out. Isn't it easy being in there these days?"

I just thought that I was no longer the master in charge of the courtyard, and no matter how many things happened, it had nothing to do with him.

From the moment he came out until now, Yi Zhonghai has shown no reaction, a bit like a wooden man, which makes Wang Guihua very worried.

"That's right, we are all neighbors in the same courtyard. We should have put aside our past grudges long ago..."

I just came back, what do these people mean?

Yi Zhonghai felt unhappy, but he still had a smile on his face and thanked everyone: "Thank you for your concern. Please forgive me for what I did wrong in the past. I will review and reflect on myself more in the future." If you have any problems with your body, please correct them in time, and please supervise me.”

"Oh, you're so good, why are you going against Wang Hao!"

When he came back this time, he was no longer the one-size-fits-all man before. Instead, like these people, he became an ordinary resident of the courtyard. Therefore, Yi Zhonghai also adjusted his mentality in time and lowered his previous attitude.

Silly Zhu took the initiative and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Master, in order to help you catch the wind and wash away the dust, I have prepared a lot of good things today, so that you can see if my craftsmanship has improved during this period."

They had not seen Yi Zhonghai for some time, and they had almost forgotten that this person was there. Mainly because Yi Zhonghai came back suddenly and quietly, making them unable to react for a while.

"Uncle Yi, live a good life after you get out, and don't provoke Wang Hao again."

Maybe he had held back too many words. The people in the courtyard had everything to say, some comforted Yi Zhonghai, some reminded him, and some did not understand and persuaded him to let go. Wang Guihua almost cursed.

But soon, everyone's chatterbox was opened like Pandora's box.

It's not much better than him now.

Not long after.

It was these that slowly attracted Yi Zhonghai's attention.

Feeling Yi Zhonghai's loneliness, Wang Guihua burst into tears.

Since you can't go back to the past, start over with a new attitude.

"Master, are you... back?"

Liu Haizhong, in particular, took over everything even though he had no ability. As a result, not only was he severely punished by the factory, but he almost became a public enemy in the courtyard. It was just a joke.

Listening to what his wife and Silly Zhu said, Yi Zhonghai didn't seem to have any reaction on his face, but his heart was not very calm.

Faced with Wang Guihua's heartache and Silly Zhu's guilt, Yi Zhonghai's originally dull eyes also began to waver. Seeing that there were only two of them coming to pick him up, he wanted to say something but didn't know how to say it, and finally felt a little sad. He sighed and said, "Oh, go back!"

While inside, Yi Zhonghai thought a lot and figured out a lot.

As soon as he appeared in the front yard, he attracted the attention of other people in the yard.

Yi Zhonghai's reaction made Wang Guihua, who had been observing him, breathe a sigh of relief.

However, Yi Zhonghai still did not speak, and just chose to listen silently.

Facing Yi Zhonghai's reaction, everyone present was stunned. They had no idea that Yi Zhonghai had changed so much just a few days after entering.

He is completely different from the old man.

Not only is the person haggard and thinner, his hair is grayer, but his personality and tone of voice are also completely different.

Ignoring the reactions of others, Yi Zhonghai took Wang Guihua and Silly Zhu directly to the middle courtyard.

"Hey, Master, are you out?"

When they arrived at the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang, who was basking in the sun with her shoe soles, saw them. She was stunned for a moment and then said hello.

"Old sister-in-law, I am no longer the master in charge of the courtyard, and naturally I am not the master in this courtyard. Don't call me like that in the future. Call me Lao Yi!" Hearing Jia Zhang's name to him, Yi Zhonghai took the initiative He spoke.

When we were in the front yard just now, maybe it was because of the habit of so many years. Many people still called him uncle, but they no longer had the same respect as before, so Yi Zhonghai decided to give up this title instead.

He is not even the master of the hospital. If he continues to occupy this title, he is not worthy of the name, and it is a mockery of himself.

After speaking to Jia Zhang, Yi Zhonghai turned around and walked back to his home without waiting for her reply.

"This Yi Zhonghai..."

Facing Yi Zhonghai, who was obviously different today, Jia Zhang, who had come back to his senses, secretly complained.

……

the other side.

Wang Guihua, who returned home with Yi Zhonghai, took out the brazier and charcoal that had been prepared. After lighting the fire, she said directly to Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, step over and your bad luck will be gone."

When Yi Zhonghai saw this, he didn't say anything but did as he was told.

Just coming out of it, you really have to step over the brazier to get rid of bad luck.

No matter how high-minded Yi Zhonghai was before and how beautiful his words were, in his heart he still believed in these traditional things, but he couldn't show it openly and could only do it secretly.

After all, it belongs to feudal superstition, which is why Wang Guihua closed its doors just now.

Otherwise, if other people in the courtyard see it and report it, it will be over.

Regarding the matter of reporting, Yi Zhonghai is much more sensitive now. After all, he went in because of this, so he has to be more cautious.

Stepping across the brazier, Yi Zhonghai felt a little more relaxed.

After Wang Guihua packed these things, Yi Zhonghai took the clothes and things Wang Guihua had prepared in advance and headed to the bathhouse. After being inside for so long, I never had a chance to take a good bath, and I felt completely uncomfortable.

After returning from the bath, Shazhu and Wang Guihua were already busy, and the fragrance filled the room, making people salivate.

Silly Zhu's craftsmanship is indeed good. The table is filled with delicious dishes, including braised pork, steamed fish, stir-fried vegetables, and his specialty Mapo Tofu.

Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua sat down, while Silly Zhu went to invite the deaf old lady.

After a while, the deaf old lady, supported by Silly Zhu, walked slowly from the backyard. When she saw the table full of dishes, a satisfied smile appeared on her face.

Immediately his eyes fell on Yi Zhonghai.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai had just taken a bath and changed his clothes. He was in much better condition than when he first came out.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was in good spirits, the deaf old lady couldn't help but said: "Zhonghai, you are finally back. Without you these days, the whole courtyard will be in trouble."

Seeing the deaf old lady mentioning this, Wang Guihua looked a little embarrassed. She was afraid that Yi Zhonghai would be unhappy, so she quickly helped the old lady sit down and said: "Old lady, these are prepared by the pillars to celebrate Yi Zhonghai's return. Please try it."

"Good good!"

The deaf old lady sat down happily, picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of braised pork, and put it in her mouth. She narrowed her eyes and was obviously very satisfied with the taste.

It seemed that Wang Guihua had interrupted her just now, or she felt the change in Yi Zhonghai, or maybe the food cooked by Silly Zhu was so delicious. After that, the deaf old lady was focused on cooking and didn't say much.

The same goes for Yi Zhonghai and Wang Guihua, which led to an unusually quiet meal.

after eating.

The deaf old lady didn't stay here long, and was quickly sent back by Silly Zhu.

"Lao Yi..."

Wang Guihua was a little worried when she saw Yi Zhonghai lost in thought as he watched the deaf old lady leave with the help of Sha Zhu.

Looking at Wang Guihua, Yi Zhonghai shook his head and said, "I'm fine."

……

After eating and resting for a while, Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu set off to the factory together.

Yi Zhonghai felt a little uneasy.

If something like this happens, the factory doesn't know how it will arrange and deal with itself.

The eighth-level worker status that he was proud of before could not give him a complete sense of security at this time.

"Yi Zhonghai?"

"You were released?"

"Oh, too."

"It's almost time to count the days."

"..."

As soon as he arrived at the factory gate, Yi Zhonghai was stopped by people from the security department.

Although he didn't embarrass or make things difficult for himself, the other party's light words made Yi Zhonghai feel very embarrassed.

In any case, the short half month he spent there was a big stain in his life that could not be washed away no matter how hard he washed it.

After entering the factory, Yi Zhonghai quickly noticed that there were several more greenhouses in the originally empty area of ​​the factory. He probably knew that they were the greenhouse vegetable greenhouses recently built by the factory, and they seemed to be related to Wang Hao.

In these mornings, when Qin Huairu's cousin Qin Jingru was mentioned, these were naturally involved.

Thinking of Wang Hao, Yi Zhonghai felt inexplicably irritable.

But at the moment, he doesn't want to cause trouble to Wang Hao, and he doesn't dare to, mainly because he doesn't have the ability.

I heard that Wang Hao is now thriving under Deputy Factory Director Li and is gaining momentum, but he has just come out of it, and he doesn't know what fate awaits him, and he doesn't have that intention.

Even if there is, we have to avoid its edge for the time being.

If he bumped into him at this time, he simply felt that he died too slowly.

As usual, Yi Zhonghai came to the second workshop. When he subconsciously glanced at his previous work station, he was suddenly stunned.

At this time, there was another person standing at his exclusive fixed station, operating the machine tool to produce parts with a slightly unfamiliar technique.

With his years of experience, you can tell he is a newbie at a glance.

Yi Zhonghai couldn't help but get angry and walked over quickly.

The sudden appearance of Yi Zhonghai naturally attracted the attention of some workers in the workshop.

As the only eighth-level master craftsman in the workshop, and Yi Zhonghai had only been away for about half a month, it was natural that he would not be forgotten so quickly.

It's just that he hasn't appeared for several days, and everyone knew that he was taken away due to false reports and retaliation. When he suddenly appeared here, some people almost didn't react.

Some people reacted and greeted Yi Zhonghai, but Yi Zhonghai seemed not to hear them, which caused dissatisfaction.

"Who told you to touch this machine tool?"

Yi Zhonghai's sudden shout naturally attracted the attention of the people around him. The young man who was not very proficient in operating the machine panicked, his hands shook, and the parts that were half completed were scrapped.

"Master Yi, I..."

"Yi Zhonghai, what are you doing?"

At this time, the young man's master ran over and asked Yi Zhonghai directly: "This position was assigned to Xiao Zhao by Director Zhou. He passed the first-level fitter assessment last week and was officially promoted to a regular employee. Is there any problem? ?”

Yi Zhonghai looked at the other person, trying to force him away with his eyes, but he didn't expect that the other person didn't ignore him at all and glared directly at him.

The other party was a seventh-level worker in the workshop. He had always been respectful when seeing him before, but now he actually dared to talk to him like this.

Yi Zhonghai, who was originally in a bad mood, became even worse.

"What are you doing?"

"Director, this is what happened..."

"Yi Zhonghai, when did you come back?"

"Old...Director Zhou!"

"You come with me first..."

"..."

The workshop director who came over saw Yi Zhonghai, and after understanding the situation, he called Yi Zhonghai away.

"Director, that's my work station. Why should it be assigned to a first-level fitter who has just become a full-time employee? I remember I haven't been fired yet, right?" I wanted to talk nicely, but as soon as I returned to the workshop, I realized that it was my own. His work station was actually occupied by a rookie, which made him a little unable to control his emotions.

"If you have this attitude, you probably won't be far away from being exterminated."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai still looked a little unconvinced, the workshop director sneered: "If something like that happened, the factory didn't fire you directly because you had made a lot of contributions to the factory in the past and had to be a model worker.

But don't think that nothing happens to you now. The factory's results of your treatment have already come down, but they haven't been announced yet. "

"what?"

Yi Zhonghai was a little uneasy.

Although he had expected it for a long time, after it was actually confirmed, Yi Zhonghai started to panic.

"How did the factory punish me?"

"First of all, your eighth-level job is gone..."
