Chapter 301 The courtyard is in chaos
Zhu Xuefeng on the train didn’t know yet that on Friday afternoon, the courtyard was in complete chaos.
The steel rolling mill received the news from the south and is now rushing to work. Under the planning of Director Yang and Director Jiang, not only the new workshop is rushing to work overtime, but also redeploying a lot of manpower to enrich the new workshop. Although the workshop was not mentioned as a transfer, everyone knew that this secondment might settle down in the new workshop.
While the number of people in other workshops is reduced and the tasks remain the same, they also need to allocate machines and equipment as much as possible to assist the new workshop. Now, the entire factory has to work overtime, especially the foundry workshop and several machining processes. workshop.
Shazhu resumed the business of pre-made dishes in early April. Now he was even more busy and got off work much later. It was impossible to eat with the two children of the Zhu family, so he ate directly in the cafeteria. Just went home.
When we entered the compound, everything was normal, except that there were more little kids playing in the yard. In most homes, the men were working overtime, and the little brats were left unattended.
"Xiao Ben, at this point, if you don't come back for dinner, your father will beat you again when he comes back soon."
Aunt Niu's angrily shouting came from the distant middle courtyard. .
Niu Xiaoben was playing a stick-picking game with several boys from the outer courtyard, sticking his butt out and lying on the ground. This game is quite simple, so it is very popular among little boys.
It means picking out green tree branches, cutting them into long and short sticks of similar thickness, and then carving the bark on the sticks into different shapes. Each person will take out a few sticks to make a handful, and then Hold it in your hand and release it all at once.
At this time, the little boy has to squat or lie on the ground, carefully start from the top, and pick apart one by one. Nothing else can be moved. If he moves, he will fail. If he succeeds, he will harvest one. Every spring and summer, this It's the little boy's favorite game.
"Niu Xiaoben, your mother is here, holding a wooden stick!" The friend quickly reminded Niu Xiaoben. Niu Xiaoben turned around to look, quickly stood up, patted the soil on his knees, turned around and ran away. Several of them also dispersed and disappeared in a swarm. After a while, several houses sounded reprimands.
Looking at the scene in front of him, Silly Zhu happily walked to the front yard with his hands behind his back and walked leisurely. He saw Zhu Xuesong coming out of the vegetable garden, carrying a small bucket. This should have just been watered. water.
"Cedar, you are watering it. Have you had dinner?"
"Brother Zhuzhu, we ate and left some for you to cover on the table."
Silly Zhu waved his hand, "Our factory is very busy during these days, and I can't come back. You can just eat by yourself these days. I will clean up later and prepare tomorrow's food for you. You will be hot tomorrow." It’s done in one go.”
Zhu Xuesong said with a smile. "Brother Zhuzi, don't bother so much. We can all do it. Aunt Zou has done it for us in advance these days. My sister and I have no chance to do it."
Silly Zhu smiled and nodded. This Zou The old man and his wife really have nothing to say. Whenever they have time, they help take care of the two children, including taking care of the vegetable garden and feeding the chickens.
"That's none of my business, I'll go back and take a rest first. By the way, it's time for your brother to come back."
Zhu Xuemei closed the fence gate of the vegetable garden and came out, opening her two Mudhand rushed to answer.
"According to my brother, he will come back either the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, and there will be new gifts then, hehe."
"It's time to come back. We'll be out for a long time this time. Hey, you guys have some fun, I'll I’m going to take a break. I work overtime every day. I’m really tired.”
The third uncle had no overtime to work, so he was cleaning up at the door. He picked up some aquatic plants from nowhere and put them in a bag.
"Third uncle, what are you packing? Is this thing edible?"
The third uncle looked up and explained with a smile.
"Zhuzi, there is a new teacher from the south in our school. He said that this stuff is fried and eaten in their hometown. I will also make some and give it a try."< br>
Silly Zhu looked down, then bent down to pick up two more and smelled them.
“It’s really tender. Not to mention, it has a slight fragrance. It smells right. It should be edible. I’m thinking that it would be pretty good if you stir-fry shredded pork.”
The third uncle smiled awkwardly. "Zhuzi, you are so mean to your third uncle, I am going to fry it and try it first."
Before he finished speaking, there was the sound of motorcycles outside the yard, like thunder, and a lot more faint. The man got out of the car and heard the footsteps, he must be running towards the compound.
The two of them looked at each other as they saw several police officers entering the front yard. They thought something big had happened. After a while, they rushed to Zhu Xuefeng's house. When Silly Zhu saw it, he wondered what was going on and hurried over to take a look. Seeing that the situation was not good, the third uncle quickly threw away his pocket, wiped the handle, and followed closely.
I saw that several police officers had begun to search the room. Zhu Xuesong and Zhu Xuemei stood at a loss.
"Comrade, what's going on? There are no adults in this house. If you have anything to do, tell me."
Silly Zhu hurriedly faced the leading police officer and bent his head. He said hello with a shy face. The third uncle also came and stood at the door together. Several people also came to the front yard, all from the outer yard. They poked their heads in the front yard, looked at each other from a distance, and asked each other.
"Old Liu, you were the first to see it. What happened? Why did you go to Lao Zhu's house?"
"I don't know either, so I asked. As soon as Zhu Xuefeng lived, he came in. I don’t know what happened.”
The Zhang family’s daughter-in-law came with a rice bowl and was also very curious.
“My whole family is a student, so what could happen? No, it won’t be the left, right, or anything like that.”
“Don’t talk nonsense..., this is not a joke. You're just joking, keep your mouth shut, the young man from the Zhu family is such a generous person, don't talk nonsense here."
Uncle Liu stopped him sternly, there were more and more people around him. There was a lot of discussion, and after a while, people from the backyard also came, but no one noticed. Xu Damao stood at the door of the front yard, watching the excitement from a distance.
At the door of the west wing, Silly Zhu and the third uncle were stopped outside. The police officer inside had a serious attitude and a cold tone. He was playing with a small exquisite radio and spoke to Silly Zhu seriously.
"You can't control this matter, so don't worry about it. If it really is your business, you won't be able to escape for a while. All relevant personnel will have to be taken away for investigation."
"Report Captain, we have searched the two rooms here and found nothing suspicious. Only this one was not searched. It is locked now. Is it possible that the door was broken?"
In fact, the police officer leading the team was playing drums in his heart, maybe there was something wrong. Wrong, these two are both students. I heard that there is only one brother who is in college. It is a bit far-fetched to say that he is DT. He has been lurking since he was a child? But the nature of this matter is still very serious.
"Smash it open, search carefully, don't let go of any piece of paper."
"Wait a minute, this is my eldest brother's room, I have the key, many of them belong to the country You must ensure the safety of the new research project and do not destroy it, otherwise you will not be able to afford it."
Zhu Xuesong thought of his elder brother's words and bravely stood up and said something tough before taking out his hand. key.
"You are really trying to scare the police. I hope you can still do this when you get to the police station."
The leader gave a thumbs up, took the key, and patted Zhu Xuesong on the shoulder. .
Si Zhu hurriedly stopped Zhu Xuesong, fearing that he would quarrel with others if he got excited, and get into trouble with the police because he would not be happy.
"Xuesong, Xuemei, don't be afraid. It's okay. There must be a misunderstanding. You see, your brother won so many awards and did so many good things at the end of last year."
"By the way, comrade, you Look at the certificate on the wall. This is a certificate issued by the district. Is there something wrong?” He held his hand, but he had never seen this radio before, so he turned to ask the two children.
"Where else is there in your house?"
Zhu Xuesong immediately thought of the big yard, and then remembered his elder brother's explanation, and rushed to answer. "There is a vegetable garden just to the north of our house, and there is a cellar below. There is no other place."
Zhu Xuemei looked at her second brother, who turned to look at her. Zhu Xuemei is sensible. winked.
At this time, there were more and more people outside, and almost everyone who didn't work overtime came. There was a buzz around the outside, and even a few members of the Jia family came.
"I said there will be retribution. You deserve it. Your family will also suffer today."
Jia Zhang cursed in a low voice. Unexpectedly, the people next to her suddenly got out of the way with contempt on their faces. looked at her.
"What are you looking at? The police came to your door. You can still run away. If you don't do anything bad, the police can come to your door? What are you looking at? Then watch me gouge out your little bitch's eyeballs..."
< br>A policeman came out in a hurry, leaned against the captain, and whispered.
“There are indeed many design drawings in the house, all of which are marked for the steel rolling mill. I also found two envelopes containing money in the drawer. One said pension, which contained a lot of money, and the other said For emergencies, there is also a ledger to record expenses and cash amounts. Expenses are normal.”
The leader’s mind was racing, pension? Mudd, can someone with a pension be this kind of person? Maybe I’m really mistaken.
Bai Ju was taken away because of money. The outside world didn’t know, but the system had heard about it. It’s better to be cautious about this money.
"Count the money clearly, write it down, and leave it where it is."
What else did the little policeman want to say? The money should be taken away. Seeing the seriousness on the captain's face, he had no choice but to Shut up and get on with it.
“Take people to search the vegetable garden and the cellar!”
“This comrade, we have watched the three brothers and sisters of this family grow up. The whole family is very kind. It is impossible to do this. What a bad thing, is it a mistake?”
Uncle Zou and his wife also heard the noise next door, and finally squeezed to the door and said to the leader.
"Look, what is this? Stop covering up. Everyone, get out of the way and don't affect our search."
The leader waved a small radio and wanted to say a few words.
"Report, there is nothing in the vegetable garden, and there are a lot of cured meats and seafood in the cellar..."
This is good stuff, a police officer on the side blurted out as his mind got excited.
"Three students, where did these things come from? These things came from improper sources, they may be stolen goods!"
Si Zhu became angry when he heard this. He knew what was in the cellar. Very, many of them were put in by him.
“You fart, these seafood were distributed by the steel rolling mill during the festival a few days ago. I helped to get them back. His brother is the technical director of our steel rolling mill, and the factory specially distributed them. This meat is from the street office. I was rewarded in front of the whole hospital, and I couldn’t bear to eat it, so I marinated it until now.”
“Even if you want to steal it, you have to make up a good excuse. There are people all over the courtyard. Witness, you can ask whatever you want."
The leader was also furious when he was scolded by Silly Zhu. He barely held it back. He had no intention of taking it back. Of course he wouldn't take it back. He had to take it all back for investigation. No need to guess. It will definitely be gone in the end.
If it is really issued by the steel rolling mill, won't you be causing trouble for yourself? The system has been conducting strict investigations in the past few months, and even Deputy Director Bai was fired. Taking advantage of this small advantage is not for yourself. Aren't you happy to find it?
But being rebuked by Silly Zhu, he felt unhappy. He walked to the door with a serious face and asked loudly to the dense crowd in the courtyard.
“Who can prove that these are paid out and rewarded.”
“I can, I, I! We can all prove it.”
Sounds in the courtyard There were quite a few people there, and it seemed that this was indeed the case. The leader was stunned for a moment, looked at the people in the yard, and then gave an order.
"The house and cellar have been sealed for me, and they will be taken back for investigation. By the way, what is your name?"
Si Zhu saw that he wanted to take the two girls away for investigation, although He couldn't stop it, but he wasn't afraid at all.
"I am He Yuzhu from the Intermediate Court. I am familiar with all three members of this family, so there must be no problem."
"If you say there is no problem, then there is no problem. We came here after receiving reports. "
Hearing that his name was He Yuzhu, the leader smiled. What a coincidence. The next step was to go to He Yuzhu's house. Unexpectedly, this kid was hanging around under his nose for a long time.
"You are He Yuzhu. That's good. You don't have to make another trip. Someone, come here, detain him and take him away together. Now go to the Intermediate Court to search."
Silly Zhu was stunned for a moment, and before he could recover, he was restrained by two people. He didn't dare to resist, he just stared and tried to straighten up.
“What kind of law have we broken? Why are we arrested?”
Zhu Xuemei shouted loudly and refused to leave. She was pushed by the police behind her and staggered. Zhu Xuesong held on to the little boy. Sister, he is much calmer.
"Little sister, it's okay, big brother will be back soon."
"Since you want to know, I will tell you that some revolutionary masses reported that you are DT, and we are conducting a search according to regulations. , people want to take it back for investigation."
Everyone in the hospital was shocked. It can't be possible. This is a neighbor who has been there for many years. He knows everything about it. There must be something wrong.
"You can investigate, but you can't take away the children. Just ask here. These two are still children. There must be a mistake!"
Uncle Zou took a step forward. These are all people. They are neighbors who have watched them grow up. The three brothers and sisters have watched them grow up. If they are taken away, it is hard to say. It is best to ask here, everyone can watch, it will not be too much. .
"What's the matter? You want to stop me too. If you don't get out of the way, I'll take you away for questioning. I'm also confused. At such a young age, there must be someone behind this. If you don't get out of the way, I'll take you away too. Take it away!”
Si Zhu opened his mouth, but finally closed it honestly. Brother Zhu kept saying that if you talk too much, you will make mistakes, and the more you say, the more mistakes you make.
The third uncle is still asking. "Then why is this comrade, Comrade He Yuzhu, also taken away?"
The leader was a little impatient. "After receiving reports from the masses, He Yuzhu forged his identity and lurked among the revolutionary masses. If he has any evil intentions, he must be taken back for investigation. There are really many ghosts and ghosts in your yard, and they are well hidden."
"What kind of identity can he fake? He has been here since he was a child, and we have watched him grow up. , Police, you are mistaken.”
From a distance, a deaf old lady walked over with a cane and asked questions from a distance, and the crowd consciously moved out of the way.
Seeing that he was an old man, the leader patiently explained.
"It is true that he grew up here, but the masses reported that he was not a poor peasant, but pretended to be a poor peasant with bad intentions. He must be taken back and investigated carefully."
