Seeing that it wasn't a big deal and that everyone would find out sooner or later anyway, Aunt Yi simply told them what had happened.
Everyone understood immediately. Just now, Officer Liu hadn't only approached Aunt Yi, but also Yan Bugui, as well as the He and Chen families. His purpose was self-evident.
However, there are two parties involved now! So everyone is no longer discussing these matters.
...
Around 4 p.m., Officer Liu, his face covered in sweat, returned to the subdistrict office with a joyful heart.
Today's visit was very successful. So far, 22 households in his jurisdiction have been willing to come and visit.
There were also seven or eight households who were taking a wait-and-see approach, saying they would wait and see.
However, this was already very good, and he decided to report the good news to Director Wang as soon as possible.
"Knock knock knock!"
"Enter."
Having received a reply, Officer Liu pushed open the door, walked to his desk, and then spoke.
"Director Wang, I would like to report to you on my work this afternoon."
Seeing Liu's expression, Director Wang knew that there must be good news again, because several groups of people had already reported it that afternoon.
"Officer Liu, please have a seat. I bet it must be good news."
Seeing Director Wang's expression, he seemed to be in a good mood, and Officer Liu was also very happy, so his method must have worked.
"Yes, Director Wang, there is indeed good news. In my jurisdiction, 22 households will be willing to come and take a look tomorrow. There are still some who are waiting and seeing, but if they see good results, they are also willing to come and take a look."
When Director Wang heard that 22 households were coming, his scalp tingled. If he was right, at least 50 or 60 households would come tomorrow, but he didn't have enough manpower.
"Director Wang, you look worried. Is there some problem?"
"No, no, no! You've worked hard, go out and rest! I'll make another call."
"Okay, Director Wang."
After Officer Liu left, Director Wang immediately picked up the phone and started ringing.
"Switchboard operator, please connect me to District Chief Wu of the East District."
"Hello! Old leader! This is Wang Guisheng. I have something to report to you..."
The two chatted for about ten minutes before Director Wang hung up the phone, satisfied.
He felt pleased with himself when he thought of his former boss's praise. His former boss also said that he would send more people over to them tomorrow.
...
As evening approached and Lin Wencui was about to leave work, she received a notice asking her to lead a few people to help out at the Jiaodaokou Subdistrict Office the next day.
So, Lin Wencui made an appointment with Sister Wu, Xiao Wang, and Xiao Chen to meet at the subdistrict office the next day.
After explaining everything, everyone started to leave work.
On the way back, Lin Wencui also mentioned this to Sun Dajiang, telling him to go to work alone the next day.
Sun Dajiang, however, was unimpressed. He had encountered such things frequently and was no longer surprised.
After returning home, Lin Wencui finally understood why they had been called upon to help when her son recounted what had happened that afternoon.
After dinner, everyone went out to cool off, only to find that there were far fewer people in the yard today.
No need to ask, they're definitely discussing business at home!
Needless to say, Chen Xiaosan in the backyard is all alone and calls the shots.
The idiot Zhu from the Intermediate Court was alright. After listening to He Daqing's story, he didn't resist. He was just going to take a look anyway. He had already decided that if it wasn't pretty, he wouldn't take it.
Yi Zhonghai's family also has no problem. Adopting a child would be no burden for them. If it weren't for their past reputation, they would have successfully adopted a child long ago.
The person who had the hardest job was Yan Jiecheng, who absolutely refused to agree to marry a famine refugee.
Finally, the whole family pitched in, taking turns to persuade him, until he finally came to his senses, realized his situation, put aside his city dweller pride, and was forced to agree to the matter.
The next morning, after breakfast, Sun Dajiang went to work alone. Lin Wencui saw that it was getting late, so she prepared to go to the neighborhood office.
"Mom, Yushui is going today too. Her brother is going on a blind date. Why don't I go with you and have some fun?"
After hearing her daughter's words, Lin Wencui did not object. The girl was so grown up, how could she be lost?
"Why don't we go have some fun too? We're just idling at home anyway, might as well go and see what's going on."
Sun Zhengguo did not object to Sun Zheng'an's suggestion. There would be many people going to the courtyard today, so there would definitely be some excitement to watch.
"Alright then! You can all go, but you can't disturb Mom's work?"
"No problem, we're just here to see what's going on."
Seeing that Lin Wencui agreed, Sun Zheng'an said with a grin.
After discussing it, Sun Zhengguo locked the door, and they all walked there together, since the neighborhood office was not far from their homes.
Ten minutes later, the group arrived at a courtyard house, which was the office of the neighborhood committee.
"Director Lin, over here."
As soon as Lin Wencui arrived at the door, she heard someone calling her. Looking in the direction of the voice, she saw that her colleagues had already arrived.
After the two sides met, Lin Wencui addressed her colleagues.
"Everyone, this is my eldest son, Sun Zhengguo; my second son, Sun Zhengan; and my youngest daughter, Sun Zhenghong."
"You three, this is your Aunt Wu, and these are your Sister Chen and Sister Wang. Hurry up and say hello!"
"Hello, Aunt Wu! Hello, Sister Chen and Sister Wang!"
The three siblings said in unison.
"Hey! Hello everyone!"
"Lin Wenren, I don't know how your family raises its children. They're all so successful. It's truly enviable!"
Sister Wu sighed.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, the group walked together into the neighborhood office compound.
The courtyard was already bustling with activity. Some people were busy hanging banners, while others were busy splashing water and sweeping the floor. It seemed that a leader was coming today, and Director Wang was also on site directing the work.
"Director Wang, I've come to report to you with my men. Please feel free to ask if there's anything we can do for you."
They were all old acquaintances, so Director Wang naturally recognized Lin Wencui. He quickly stepped forward to shake hands with each of them and welcome her before speaking.
"Welcome, welcome! Deputy Director Lin, you've come at just the right time. Here's what you'll do today: stick to your usual routine and work on the mindset of the women in the backyard to prevent them from having any resistance. Try to help them find more revolutionary partners. But there's one thing: don't force them."
"Don't worry, Director Wang, we have experience with this and won't do anything reckless."
"Haha! Alright, then you two go to the backyard! But I need to requisition your two sons, you don't mind, do you?"
Director Wang certainly knew the two Sun brothers; he had even dined at their college entrance celebration banquet.
The backyard is full of women; it's not appropriate for two grown men to go there.
We're short-handed right now, and these two young men are educated, so it's a perfect fit and a win-win situation.
"Alright! It's a blessing for the two brothers to be able to learn from Director Wang. I'm entrusting them to you."
"Zhengguo and Zhengan, you two work hard with Director Wang. Mom is going to work in the back."
Sun Zhengguo never expected that coming over to watch the excitement would lead to him getting caught up in the mess and becoming someone who did odd jobs.
Director Wang didn't stand on ceremony with the two brothers, giving each of them a red armband so they could maintain order when others arrived.
"Bro, how is it? Handsome, right?"
After putting on the red armband, Sun Zheng'an said smugly.
"Cool my ass! The two of us wearing red armbands, standing there at the door, look more like the two guardian deities."
"The two generals, Heng and Ha, are not bad either; at least they are mythical figures."
Sun Zhengguo was too lazy to argue with his younger brother. He put on the red armband, looked around, and acted like a leader on an inspection tour.
It has become a beautiful sight in the neighborhood!
