The next day, during the large-scale sanitation inspection, Wang Dabao personally went to the site.
Originally, Wang Dabao only intended to hand it over to Feng Biao or Wang Tiangao, but after what happened last night, he decided to join in the fun, since there weren't many people he could handle for his own wedding anyway.
Because the event was jointly organized by the factory and the street office, Liu Haizhong, Yan Bugui, Lao Zhou, Yi Zhonghai, and others were all granted half a day off.
Getting paid to do errands for the compound is like a business trip, which made these old guys extremely happy, mainly because it was a novel experience for them!
Liu Haizhong, Yi Zhonghai, and others showered Wang Dabao with compliments, treating him as if he were the most precious treasure of the hospital.
The neighborhood committee originally only intended to send an officer down to go through the motions, but when they heard that the head of the security department had arrived, Director Wang hurriedly rushed over as well.
After three days of renovation, the Hongxing Courtyard has been completely transformed. The broken bricks on the ground have been removed and replaced with new bricks, and the windows and doors of every household have been repainted.
After the gate was polished and painted, it immediately looked imposing. The exterior walls were also splashed with water and painted. The steps and ground at the entrance were almost licked clean by Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiefang.
Every household in the courtyard had tidied up their doorways, and the main hall and the moon gate were adorned with large red flower wreaths. Yan Bugui also contributed his own potted plants, which were placed next to the gatehouse at the main entrance.
The courtyard was spotless, thanks to the supervision of several elderly men. Everyone in the courtyard was dressed neatly, ready to receive the elderly men from various courtyards, and sunflower seeds were also prepared.
Anyway, everyone was ready to collect their rewards.
With Wang Dabao around, everyone felt more confident. With a slight change in the scoring mechanism, Wang Dabao took the initiative.
The manager in charge only accounts for 50% of the total score, while the street office and security department account for 50%.
Director Wang immediately understood what Wang Dabao meant. After all, Wang Dabao had put in so much effort to organize this event, it would really be unreasonable not to let his institute win first place. Otherwise, would they even be able to hold it again?
After all this, everyone understood, especially Old Zhang, who had long given up on winning first place; he had been thoroughly outmaneuvered last night.
Upon entering courtyard number 89, Wang Dabao reached into his pocket and pulled out a pair of white gloves. Everyone gasped in shock. What was he going to do?!
Wang Dabao touched the glass frame of a house. The glass was clean, but the frame was a different story. His white glove immediately got a black stain. Wang Tiangao next to him made a note of it in his notebook.
Then Wang Dabao led everyone to inspect the vegetable cellar in the yard. Wow, the yard was quite clean, but all sorts of messy items were piled up in the vegetable cellar. Isn't this cheating? Who are they trying to fool? They still want to get a reward with this?!
There's no need to look at the rest, just rate it.
Courtyard No. 89 received a total score of 61 points, barely passing.
In courtyard number 91, people chatted and ate sunflower seeds before entering. Wang Dabao gestured for Wang Tiangao, Liu Haizhong, and others to look up.
Good grief, the yard was tidied up quite well. I thought we could compete for second place, but you guys didn't even bother to clean up this huge cobweb above your heads. Well, then we'll have to deal with you.
The total score is 76 points.
When we arrived at No. 95 Hongxing Courtyard, the old men from other courtyards also wanted to find fault with us. After a long time, they found something to criticize about Shazhu's window frame, but in the end, the overall score was 95.
Needless to say, we're definitely going to be number one. The other guys in the department already knew this was going to happen, but there's nothing they can do. They're already being kind enough to be included, so let's not be picky.
Ultimately, the top three courtyards were determined, with courtyard number 95 truly deserving of the title of first place.
Liu Haizhong and the others had arrogant expressions on their faces. Yan Bugu narrowed his eyes, looking down on them. Everyone had been asking him about his son's detention, which had been bothering Old Yan all morning.
Even the courtyards that didn't win a prize still received a participation prize: some melon seeds and peanuts. Each household could take a handful home and share them. Forget about rice, flour, cooking oil, soap, or towels.
The prizes cost about thirty yuan in total. After deducting ten yuan from the neighborhood committee, Wang Dabao still had four hundred and eighty yuan left, which he would save for the next event.
The benefits in the courtyard house were the best; every family received soap and towels, and the rest was up to Liu Haizhong and his family to distribute.
With this reward, everyone is more motivated to keep the yard clean and is looking forward to the next large-scale sanitation inspection, hoping for even better rewards next time.
Before Wang Dabao got married, Sha Zhu brought Lou Xiao'e back.
The courtyard became even more lively. Xu Damao's eyes almost popped out of their sockets with anger. That idiot Zhu had actually managed to surpass him and snag this girl with such good qualities. He could only marry Qin Jingru, this country girl. How could he not be envious?
Sha Zhu not only brought his girlfriend to the courtyard, but also announced the wedding date for next month to Yan Bugui and others.
Xu Damao secretly found Lou Xiao'e and berated Sha Zhu, implying that Sha Zhu was not worth entrusting one's life to and that the guy was no good.
But Lou Xiao'e wouldn't listen to that, and instead told Sha Zhu what she had said.
Then, on his way home from get off work, Xu Damao was sacked by Sha Zhu, and the beating almost made Xu Damao cry.
Although he hadn't seen anyone trick him, he could tell with his toes that it was Sha Zhu. He hated him to the core but was powerless to do anything about it. He could only resort to underhanded tactics; when it came to a real fight against Sha Zhu, he could take on two of them.
When Qin Jingru returned home and saw that Xu Damao had a bruised and swollen face, she was heartbroken.
"It's none of your business. You tell me first whether you were pregnant before or not. Don't think I'm stupid. Tell me the truth now." Xu Damao suddenly remembered what Sha Zhu had said when he was drinking with Wang Dabao.
Indeed, how could a child die from a fall after only a little over a month?
Xu Damao's words caught Qin Jingru completely off guard, and her face turned pale on the spot.
"Da...Da Mao, how could you say that? That's our child! How could I joke about something like this? Did someone say something to you?"
“Nobody told me anything, but I just felt something was wrong. Tell me the truth now, or I’ll strangle you.” As he spoke, Xu Damao reached out and pinched Qin Jingru’s arm.
The pain brought tears to Qin Jingru's eyes.
"Da Mao, we're husband and wife, you have to trust me, don't listen to other people's nonsense. Did my sister say something to you?!"
You have to admit Qin Jingru is naive; Xu Damao didn't say anything, but she brought up Qin Huairu.
"Yes, it was Qin Huairu who told me. Anyway, she told me everything she needed to know. Now I just want to give you a chance to explain."
Xu Damao felt he was getting closer and closer to the truth. "If you tell me the whole story honestly, maybe I can understand and let it go. But if you hide anything, then we're not done yet."
When Qin Jingru heard that Qin Huairu had betrayed her, she collapsed and vomited while clinging to Xu Damao's leg.
Xu Damao trembled all over upon hearing this, not from anger, but from fear. After all that, they still hadn't verified whether he could have children!
