Siheyuan: Wandering between Two Worlds

The old man was sitting in the courtyard.

The courtyard.

Jiang Yang had just woken up when the deaf old lady appeared on the recliner at the door again.

"Doesn't this old woman sleep? Why is she up so early?"

You know, it's winter now, who likes to get up early in the morning?

If Jiang Yang didn't have a fixed time, he would definitely sleep until after 9 o'clock.

He ignored this disgusting ghost, came to the door of Xu Damao's house, and knocked on the door.

"Dong Dong Dong~~~!"

"Come."

After a while, Xu Damao opened the door for him in a single piece of clothing, and then quickly retreated into the quilt.

"Brother Jiang, are you asking about yesterday?"

"Well, how was it?"

"It's a little late. I only spread the gossip in most areas. There are still some places that are not covered."

"It's okay. Most of it is enough. If gossip spreads, someone will naturally help us. You can continue to sleep."

After Jiang Yang got the news, he returned home, turned on the stove, boiled a pot of water, and took out a box of tea from the space.

Although he doesn't drink tea, tea is better than boiled water.

Because it was night yesterday, although the gossip spread, the scope of spread may be extremely limited, but it is different during the day.

The workers went to work, the aunts basked in the sun, and the tricycle vendors on the street went out.

"Hey, have you heard about it? In the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, there is a bully named Jiang who specializes in bullying the orphans of martyrs. He even gave straw sandals to the Red Army before!"

"Really? There are still such bad people now?"

"Oh, I heard about it too. It is said that Jiang Yang beats the elderly every day, making them almost unable to live."

"But why don't they report to the authorities?"

"Who knows? Is this Jiang Yang related?"

"I don't know, but don't let me see this Jiang Yang, or I will beat him to death."

"And me, beat the shit out of him."

......

Things began to ferment slowly. Yi Zhonghai rushed to the steel mill and heard the workers in the mill discussing something.

Before he got close, he was stopped by a master, "Master Yi, you seem to be from the courtyard of No. 95 Nanluoguxiang, right?"

"Yes, I am still the eldest uncle in the courtyard." Yi Zhonghai said pretentiously, the former eldest uncle is also an eldest uncle, isn't he?

"Oh, Master Yi, you are not competent as a master. You didn't care about such a serious thing in the hospital. You are so disappointing."

Yi Zhonghai: "......?"

He was a little confused, thinking: Did they know what I did? But I haven't done anything immoral recently!

"Master Yi, a good comrade is one who can correct his mistakes. Although you are an eighth-level worker, you must set a good example for us."

Yi Zhonghai: "..."

He was about to cry, thinking: You guys should talk about the matter. I dare not get angry like this. How dare a third-level worker talk to me like this?

"Master Liang, what are you talking about? I don't even know what you are talking about!"

At this time, the director of a workshop stood up to explain, and Yi Zhonghai was stunned instantly.

Who is this bastard who said this? He didn't even spread that he had a grudge against Jiang Yang. Who is wrong?

Whether this matter is true or not, the higher-ups will definitely investigate. Has the old lady's identity been investigated? He made it up himself.

"Listen to me, this is a rumor. There is no orphan of martyrs in our courtyard. There is only one five-guarantee household.

As for Jiang Yang bullying the elderly, that is not the case. They are just small conflicts between neighbors on weekdays. There is no need for the help of the street office. The uncles in our courtyard can handle it!"

"Everyone believe me, I am not lying to you."

It would have been better if Yi Zhonghai did not explain. This explanation made them more suspicious. The uncle in this courtyard was so secretive about this matter.

Could it be that Jiang Yang has a lot of connections? Now is the era of the workers' big brother, and he is still afraid of these things.

This voice was passed on by more and more people, and soon the street office, security department, police station, and even the military received the gossip.

It was too much to be spread like this. They immediately launched an investigation, especially Director Wang of the street office.

This incident happened in their jurisdiction. No matter how it develops in the end, their street office will not escape criticism.

The matter was soon investigated, and the identity information of the deaf old lady and Jiang Yang were all displayed on the desks of various leaders.

In an office in the military, an old man looked at the report in front of him and ordered: "Catch the person who spread the rumor and ask who is behind it!"

"Chief, there are too many people talking about this topic now, should we arrest them all?"

"Trace the source, how many people can you arrest with such a big storm in the city?"

This matter is not a big deal, but it is related to the orphans of martyrs who sent straw sandals to the Red Army, which is related to the military.

They can't let others say that their military is not good, and they can't let the honor that the soldiers exchanged for with their blood be smeared in such an unclear way.

In the end, the investigation led to a group of children, saying that it was a young man with a meat smell on his body and a mask on his face.

This made the investigation difficult, and they really couldn't find Xu Damao, who ate two kilograms of pork to save him.

On the other side.

At the gate of the courtyard.

Director Wang led seven people into the courtyard and saw a group of middle-aged women chatting. She looked at the third middle-aged woman and asked, "Yang Ruihua, let me ask you something. Who in your courtyard has had conflicts with Jiang Yang recently? Who else has had conflicts with the deaf old lady?"

"Director Wang, if you want to talk about conflicts with Jiang Yang, it has to be Old Yi, the deaf old lady, Sha Zhu and the Jia family. They have never gotten along. When Jiang Yang came back yesterday, they almost had a fight."

"As for conflicts with the deaf old lady, it seems that only Jiang Yang has conflicts."

The third middle-aged woman is well-behaved. She says whatever the leader asks. As for whether she will offend people, it is better than offending Director Wang, right?

"Got it, you guys continue chatting."

Director Wang did not continue asking. He led the few people behind him into the inner courtyard. Before knocking on the door, he saw the deaf old lady leisurely at the door of Jiang Yang's house.

Director Wang said to the comrades behind him: "That person is the deaf old lady. Wait a minute, I will take her back to the house for questioning!"

"Old lady, I have something to talk to you about. Let's go to your house to talk?"

"It's Director Wang. It's okay to talk. Let's go!"

The deaf old lady thought that the street office came to visit. They brought so many people. Who knows what good things they have.

Enter the room.

The deaf old lady felt something unusual. The faces of these people were too serious. She was alarmed and her eyes were rolling. She began to think about countermeasures.

"Old lady, I heard that you sent straw sandals to the Red Army?"

"What? Eat dumplings? Yes, yes!"

Director Wang narrowed his eyes and shouted in her ear: "I heard that you sent straw sandals to the Red Army?"

"Ah? Eat straw sandals? No, no, you can't eat that!"

The deaf old lady's ears were almost deafened, but she still held back and remained calm, pretending to be stupid.

Director Wang looked back at the people in other departments and expressed helplessness.

"This old lady has no name since she registered. Because she is hard of hearing, she has always been called the deaf old lady."

"What should we do? How can we explain it when we go back?"

"If it doesn't work, let's put it aside for now. Let's go ask that guy named Jiang Yang and see if he can give any clues!"

"Okay, follow me."

Director Wang and his men knocked on Jiang Yang's door again.

"Here they come!"

Jiang Yang opened the door and saw a bunch of people.

"Director Wang, please come in, please come in."

"Jiang Yang, how is your leg?"

"I can walk now, but it's not very strong. It will be fine after a while."

Jiang Yang limped back to the stove, "Please sit down. Director Wang, do you want to talk to me about something?"

"I heard that you had a conflict with the deaf old lady recently?"

"Come on, Yi Zhonghai, watch me take out all your bitter tea seeds."

Jiang Yang heard this and pretended to be angry and said, "Director Wang, this old lady is really bullying."

"Before, because my house was renovated, I went to live with my wife's father-in-law for a while and recuperated. Yesterday When Xiao'e and I came back, we heard that this old lady was blocking my door. You would never guess the reason. "

"This old lady came to my house to use the toilet while I was not at home. As a result, she accidentally fell down and wanted me to pay for her medical expenses, otherwise she would come to my door every day to block the door."

"This old lady doesn't take a bath every day. The body smells so strong that I dare not go out."

"Tell me, is there such an old man? She is actually a five-guarantee household supported by the state. I heard that she is also an orphan of a martyr and has given straw sandals to the Red Army. "

Hearing Jiang Yang's words, these people were all shocked, not only by the old lady's actions, but also by what Jiang Yang said.

"How do you know that the old lady is an orphan of a martyr? And she has given straw sandals to the Red Army?"

Jiang Yang answered without hesitation.

"Everyone in our hospital knows this. Yi Zhonghai said this before. He said this old lady is not only the orphan of a martyr, but also gave straw sandals to the Red Army. He told us to be respectful to her and to honor her with good food."

"People in our hospital are simple and honest. They believe whatever Yi Zhonghai says. For so many years, they almost worship this old lady as their ancestor."

"Occasionally, when we make something good at home, this old lady will

The Grandmother sat at the table and started eating without saying anything. We could only bear it. "

Jiang Yang paused for a moment to let these people digest it. He took a cup of tea and drank it to moisten his throat, then lowered his voice and continued,

"I heard my grandfather say that this old lady was a foot-binding woman who escaped from the palace of the previous dynasty. I don't know whether it is true or not."

"This Yi Zhonghai always asked us to call her ancestor. We had to kowtow to her during the New Year. I was often targeted by them because I was unhappy with their actions."

Jiang Yang's words were too shocking. If these were true, then this matter would be very funny. The whole compound was played around by a few people for several years.

They, outsiders, felt like listening to a myth, which was outrageous.

Director Wang blushed. This was Yi Zhonghai again. How many times did he make their street office lose face.

"Jiang Yang, then no one in your courtyard came to report it? Do you think our street office is a decoration? Or do you think we won't handle it impartially? "

"Director Wang, how dare we do that? Yi Zhonghai is a senior worker in the factory, he has deep connections in the factory, and now he is an 8th-level worker. Anyone who goes against him in Siheyuan will be punished in various ways."

"I heard that Uncle Liu in the front yard changed him from a fitter to a boiler stoker."

"When I was young, I didn't understand it very well. When I grew up, Yi Zhonghai had a very strong Sha Zhu as his thug. He would let Sha Zhu beat people who didn't obey him. There was no one of his peers in Siheyuan who hadn't been beaten by Sha Zhu. We were miserable!"

Every word Jiang Yang said refreshed their cognition, as if punching them in the face one after another.
