Sha Zhu felt extremely wronged.
He was lusting after Qin Huairu's body at the time, but the two did not have any in-depth communication. The most ambiguous time was just when they raided a bear's den.
Even though so much time has passed, he's still being slandered. Sha Zhu was so angry he wanted to hit someone first thing this morning.
"Silly Zhu, what are you yelling about!"
Hearing the commotion, Xu Damao came out of the house with a bowl in his hand. He glanced at Sha Zhu, who was fuming with anger, and couldn't help but laugh out loud.
Yesterday, I brought up the hair stick incident purely to distract Jia Dongxu so that Chen Jun could go back to his room and tidy up.
He never expected that Sha Zhu would get slapped for just a few words he said.
"Xu Damao, you're really despicable. Why would you spread rumors about me for no reason?"
Apologize to me right now!
Sha Zhu was a little agitated. After all, he had been falsely accused for no reason, and he had already shown great restraint by not rushing over to hit someone.
Xu Damao knew he was in the wrong, so he quickly apologized to Sha Zhu.
"Alright! I won't talk about you next time, I'll talk about Yi Zhonghai instead."
Xu Damao felt no psychological pressure about the rumors; it was just a matter of changing the person spreading them.
Yan Bugui, who was standing to the side, listened to the conversation between the two and understood what they meant to some extent.
It turns out that Xu Damao spread rumors last night that Bang Geng was the offspring of Sha Zhu.
Ouch!
I must have missed so much excitement last night.
Yan Bugui couldn't help but slap his thigh when he thought of this.
On the other side, the security department of Hongxing Steel Rolling Mill.
"Section Chief, yesterday's situation was that simple. It was Jia Dongxu and his wife who disliked Director Chen, so they came to report him."
"The brothers were just following the rules, but thankfully they didn't offend Director Chen." The squad leader reported yesterday's events to Section Chief Lü.
Section Chief Lü nodded, glanced through the window in the door, and coincidentally made eye contact with Qin Huairu.
Section Chief Lü didn't have a good impression of Qin Huairu; the last time he came in, he got Guo Da Piezi arrested.
This time she's plotting to report Chen Jun again; she just can't seem to stop once she's been caught.
"Okay, I understand." Section Chief Lü waved his hand, his expression very calm.
Seeing this, the squad leader breathed a sigh of relief and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly seemed to remember something and asked again, "Section Chief, what should we do with Jia Dongxu and his wife?"
"Keep them locked up for now, and release them after work," Section Chief Lü said.
Although last night's incident didn't offend Chen Jun, the security department still needed to show Chen Jun their attitude. So they decided to lock him up for a day and starve him for a few meals, which would be a way to vent Chen Jun's anger.
So, Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu went hungry in the security department for a whole day. When they came out, Jia Dongxu was already dizzy.
It wasn't that he was dizzy from hunger, but the thought of being pricked by the old Chinese medicine doctor when he returned to the courtyard house filled him with dread.
When the two reached the alley entrance, Jia Dongxu couldn't help but say, "Qin Huairu, when we get to the courtyard, lock the door from the inside. We can't let Xu Damao and the others drag me into the courtyard to give me acupuncture."
"That old Chinese medicine doctor is a fraud, a quack. Even if you're not sick, he'll make you sick by pricking you."
As soon as she finished speaking, Qin Huairu suddenly stopped in her tracks.
"Dongxu, are those people in front of you from the neighborhood committee?"
Qin Huairu noticed the unusual activity in the alley at a glance.
It's after get off work hours now, so the people from the neighborhood committee must have something to announce if they come to the alley.
Having just done something wrong yesterday, Qin Huairu was worried that they were coming to find her and Jia Dongxu.
Jia Dongxu took a closer look and quickly told Qin Huairu to turn around.
"They're definitely coming for us. Let's go, don't let them see us."
"Where are we going?"
"Anywhere is fine, we'll go home after the people from the neighborhood committee leave."
The couple, who had rushed back, ran off again in the same hurry.
The neighborhood committee wasn't there specifically for them; they just happened to run into them.
Inside the courtyard, Liu Haizhong seemed to have received the news and was waiting in the front yard early on. Uncle Yan Bugui was curious, but Liu Haizhong refused to answer even after asking him several times.
"Clerks, you've finally arrived."
As soon as the two clerks stepped over the threshold, Liu Haizhong greeted them warmly, his obsequious manner causing Yan Bugui's lips to twitch.
Is it really necessary?!
It's just two clerks who came; it's not like Director Wang came.
"Hello, Comrade Liu Haizhong."
Seeing Liu Haizhong's enthusiasm, the clerk also shook hands with him in a similarly enthusiastic manner.
He was just an ordinary clerk at the street office, and he had never seen such an enthusiastic old man in charge when he went to other courtyards to announce things.
"Please wait a moment, clerk. I'll go and call everyone to a meeting."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Liu Haizhong ran off to call for help.
The clerk clearly still had to go to other courtyards to make announcements, so once everyone had gathered, he took out a piece of paper and started reading it aloud.
"I'm here today because the subdistrict office has issued two new notices. Let me briefly explain them to you all."
"applaud!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haizhong took the lead in clapping.
Seeing this, the others also gave Liu Haizhong face and raised their hands to pat him.
The clerk raised his hand to smother the conversation and continued, "The first thing is to inform everyone to remain vigilant. If any strangers are seen in the alley, report them to the street office immediately. If you catch an enemy agent, you can come to the street office to collect a reward."
"The prizes include cash rewards, living allowances, and some rice, flour, and cooking oil."
Wow!
They give you money, tickets, and gifts?
Upon hearing this, everyone present was startled, and some even began to think about the radio that Qin Huairu had picked up earlier.
Because of that radio station, everyone in the courtyard was in a state of panic, but now they were hoping that enemy agents would come to their courtyard at number 95.
"Don't worry, clerk. Even without these prizes, our institute will still actively hunt down enemy spies," Liu Haizhong said with some pride. "Chen Jun from our institute, for example, has already caught enemy spies several times."
The clerk nodded. He knew about Chen Jun's capture of enemy agents; he had even accompanied Director Wang to distribute the rewards back then.
"Now, I'd like to announce the second thing."
“This matter is closely related to everyone. We received a notice from our superiors that we should set up literacy classes in the subdistrict offices so that those who cannot read will be able to learn.”
ha??
Literacy classes?
Upon hearing this notice, the residents present were somewhat bewildered.
Literacy education?
Why sweep away those illiterate people?
What is this thing? Do I have to learn it if I can't read?
Liu Haizhong scratched his chin: "Comrade, is a literacy class a place to teach everyone to read and write?"
"That's right, it's about teaching everyone to read and write." The clerk nodded.
“That would turn it into a school, but we have to work during the day and can’t find the time to go to school.” Liu Haizhong was somewhat resistant to the literacy board.
Although he can read, he doesn't know many characters, and he will probably have to study them.
Going to study would interfere with my work at the factory, so it's not worth it.
