Chapter 354: This is about my father-in-law, can I be careless?
Inside the tailor shop.
Tailor Zhang saw Li Aiguo's figure disappearing into the light, and turned to look at Chen Fangxuan: "Old Chen, your son-in-law seems to be extraordinary."
"Of course, patriotism is "Train driver"
"That's not what I meant, there seems to be something wrong with his eyes."
Tailor Zhang remembered that when Li Aiguo looked at her just now, he felt like he had been seen through. Very bad.
"What's wrong? It's just normal eyes. People can still have bull's eyes."
After Chen Fangxuan cut the cloth, he saw Tailor Zhang standing there blankly, so he came over and whispered Said: "How have you considered our matter? The children are very supportive. How about we finish the matter at some time?"
"Let's wait for a while, in a few days It’s my ex-husband’s memorial day.”
“Okay.”
Chen Fangxuan, who was in his forties, was like a young boy at this time, a little at a loss.
He seemed to remember something, took out a paper bag from his pocket, and placed it on the table with a straight face.
"I was walking on the street today and met Old Liu from the tailor shop next door. He insisted on giving me these yellow sanded sugar candies.
You also know that I hate eating these. It’s so sweet.
Take it back.”
After saying that, Chen Fangxuan stood up and went to the back to start making ribbons.
Listening to the hum of the sewing machine, Tailor Zhang looked a little moved.
Opening the paper package, there is bright yellow sanded sugar inside.
The sugar candies have distinct particles, each one is bright yellow and crystal clear. You can tell at a glance that it is the famous soldier yellow sand sugar.
Before liberation, the palace sugar makers lived among the people, and a trend of selling sanded sugar emerged under the Beijing overpass.
The most famous one is undoubtedly Huang Bing, who "does not criticize heaven or earth, but only criticizes corrupt officials and officials." He is known as one of the "Eight Freaks on the Bridge".
Daibing yellow sugar candies are quite effective in treating coughs, but they are expensive.
A pack like this costs at least seventy or eighty cents.
Who is willing to give it away?
This is Old Chen.
Tailor Zhang picked up a piece of yellow sugar and put it into his mouth. The cool and sweet taste instantly spread throughout his body.
She sighed, then finished the work at hand and asked Chen Fangxuan for a half-day leave.
Chen Fangxuan thought that Tailor Zhang was going to church again, so he agreed immediately.
Half an hour later.
Tailor Zhang took the bus to the cemetery in Mentougou.
She walked along the overgrown path to a tomb.
The tomb is newly built, and the weeds have not yet covered it, exposing patches of bare loess, which looks a bit ugly.
“Old Shang, what do you think I should do?” Tailor Zhang took out the sacrifice from the canvas bag and sat down holding on to the tombstone.
She leaned against the tombstone and raised her face to look at the white clouds in the sky.
She paused for a moment and murmured: "I was supposed to help you get revenge, but that person seemed to be a good person. The two of us have been bad guys our whole lives. Now that you are dead, my heart is soft. "What do you think I should do?"
"In addition, is the train driver the same person who caught you? I also want to check, but the information has been sealed. The train driver seemed to have nails in his eyes, and I smelled our scent from him."
As he spoke, Tailor Zhang burst into tears and his voice trembled: "Why did you die? ! Didn’t we agree at the beginning that I would go over there first and you would come over to find me and we would be husband and wife for the rest of our lives?”
“How could you die if you are so powerful? ”
“By the way, you must have fallen in love with that little fox Liu Chunhua, and that’s why you were careless and got caught.”
Tailor Zhang. She jumped up on the ground like crazy, trampled the steamed buns and fruits to pieces, and spat at the tombstone.
"What a naughty dog! You are a naughty dog, and you deserve to be caught!"
She raised her sleeves, wiped her tears, and strode away.
The spit slid down the tombstone, sliding over the three words "Shang Chonghou". He no longer had any strength, and finally solidified on the tombstone.
A gust of autumn wind blew, and the grass swayed from side to side.
Uncle Feng, the tombkeeper carrying a wooden stick, walked from a distance and suddenly stopped when he passed the tomb.
He looked down at the steamed buns and fruits scattered on the ground, frowned and muttered: "Who is so wicked? He dares to mess with things belonging to the dead."
Uncle Feng leaned down and said, I wanted to put the sacrifices away, but when I saw the name on the tombstone, my brows suddenly furrowed.
"I remember Shang Chonghou seemed to be a bad guy. What the little driver said at the time was that he was the enemy of the masses!"
Uncle Feng had a deep impression of the little driver.
After digging the grave, the driver came to visit him from time to time, bringing many gifts each time.
Those things come from all over the world, and some of them can't even be named.
The driver is a good man.
Uncle Feng looked at the sacrifices and seemed to remember something. His expression suddenly changed. He picked up the wooden stick and strode towards the management office.
The other side.
After Li Aiguo left the tailor shop, he rode his bicycle to the Daqianmen Street Office.
It was business hours at this time, and people were coming and going in the subdistrict office.
Li Aiguo was thinking about how to call Chen Xueru out when a voice came from behind.
"Hey, isn't this the chief driver of Xueru's family? He came to pick up Xueru so early today."
Li Aiguo turned his head and was immediately happy. The man standing opposite The lesbian wearing the uniform of the subdistrict office works in the same office as Chen Xueru.
"Sister Wang, please help me call Xueru."
"She may be in literacy class now, just wait." Sister Wang agreed and quickly walked into the subdistrict office.
Li Aiguo waited for half an hour before Chen Xueru's pretty figure appeared at the door of the street office.
"Brother Patriot, why are you here?" Chen Xueru ran over like a little white rabbit.
Li Aiguo walked up and said with a smile: "I just went to the tailor shop to do some errands, and suddenly I thought of a question."
Li Aiguo explained the matter of the ribbon, and before Chen Xueru could speak, He said directly: "I don't think Tailor Zhang is from the capital."
"That shouldn't be the case. When the street office sent her to the tailor shop, they had already introduced her. Tailor Zhang's original name was Zhang Xiuhua, and her family name was Zhang Xiuhua. It seems that he lives in an alley not far from Daqianmen, his husband died before liberation, he has no children, and he is an urban poor." Chen Xueru frowned.
The urban poor, origin code 15, are similar in nature to the rural poor. This background is very valuable.
"Then where did she work as a tailor before liberation?" Li Aiguo continued to ask.
Chen Xueru was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment with her eyelids raised, and shook her head.
“I once asked Dad, but he was worried about bringing up Tailor Zhang’s past sadness, so he never asked.”
Chen Xueru's big black eyes rolled around and she said with a smile: "Tailor Zhang was sent to the tailor shop by the Daqianmen Sub-district Office. The Sub-district Office should have her file. I will check and find out."
< br>"Then I have a wife to work for!"
Li Aiguo looked around and saw no one was there, so he took a bite from the alluring little mouth.
“Bullying people~” Chen Xueru waved her hands in disgust, and asked curiously: “Brother Aiguo, do you think there is something wrong with Tailor Zhang.”
Li Aiguo was stunned for a moment.
Then I remembered that Chen Xueru had dealt with Dieter before.
In addition, after joining the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office, they have to undergo special training and even ask people like Lao Mao to give them lectures.
For example, strangers with foreign accents and no letters of introduction; residents who eat meat more than twice a month; residents who buy more than two sets of new clothes every year;
Good guys, After studying these rules, Miss Chen carefully compared them and discovered that her own family was also suspected of Dieter.
The rough man can get meat almost every month, and seafood is always available at home.
Ms. Chen hurriedly reported her family situation to the street office to avoid unnecessary trouble.
Miss Chen was already alert. When Li Aiguo asked the question just now, he did not hide it, so he was caught.
But this is fine.
Husband and wife are of the same mind, and they are more powerful than gold!
Li Aiguo stopped and looked at Chen Xueru with a serious expression: "Chen Xueru, now I give you a dangerous and arduous task, are you confident to complete it?"
The rough man suddenly became serious, Chen Xueru felt a little uncomfortable.
This was the first time she had seen this side of a rough man. The rough man was now like a majestic mountain, weighing her down and making her breathless.
Is this what a rough guy looks like at work?
I like it so much.
“Patriotic brother, Comrade Li Aiguo, please rest assured, I am a female warrior and I guarantee to complete the mission!”
Chen Xueru put her legs together and straightened her chest.
Female warrior. That’s not wrong. After all, this girl has a five-pointed star on her leg.
"This mission is quite special. It needs to be done quietly. No shooters are needed." Li Aiguo waved to Chen Xueru and whispered in her ear.
Chen Xueru's eyes widened little by little, and finally she nodded heavily: "Brother Patriot, don't worry, I can do it!"
The thought of finally being able to uncover those bad guys with the rough guy, Chen Xueru couldn't help but get excited.
At this time, this fierce and fierce tiger seems to have turned into a real tiger.

During liberation, the illiteracy rate was as high as 80%, which means that 8 out of 10 people could not read.
In order to change this situation, the country launched its first large-scale literacy campaign in 1952;
In 1956, the higher authorities called on the people across the country to march towards modern science and culture.
Thus, the second literacy campaign set off another climax.
In this context, Daqianmen Street held the second literacy class non-stop after the success of the previous literacy class.
Chen Xueru has now been recognized by the subdistrict office and has become a gold medal lecturer, so she naturally has to shoulder important responsibilities.
Worked in the temporary classroom for two hours.
When it was almost time to get off work, Miss Chen finally had some free time.
After sending away the old ladies carrying shoe soles and the young wives carrying their children, Miss Chen walked leisurely to the Labor Department located in the Second Department.
In these days, the sub-district office, as the most basic unit, has great power and is responsible for dispatching public managers and other personnel to various shops.
These personnel are all managed by the labor group.
The labor team officer's name is Zhang Mei, a middle-aged aunt. When she saw Miss Chen come in, she said hello: "Director Chen, aren't you busy giving lectures? Why are you here when you have time?" "I miss you, Aunt Zhang."< br>
Chen Xueru took out a newspaper bundle from her pocket and handed it over: "Don't your daughter-in-law have a bad appetite? My family was on a business trip a while ago and brought some wild hawthorn from the countryside. , this stuff is good for your body, try it.”
Zhang Mei’s eldest daughter-in-law is pregnant and vomits everything she eats, but she just wants to eat some fresh hawthorn.
It’s a good thing to be sour and spicy, but there is no fresh hawthorn in the Beijing Supply and Marketing Cooperative, so Zhang Mei is very worried.
“Oh, it’s still fresh.”
“That train driver of yours is really capable.”
Zhang Mei opened the paper bag and looked at it The bright red hawthorn's eyes narrowed with joy: "Xueru, I didn't say anything. If you come to my aunt's place later if you are useful, I will never have a problem."
A little wild hawthorn is not worth a lot of money. The relationship between the two quickly became closer.
After chatting for a while, Chen Xueru pretended to be unintentional and asked: "Aunt Zhang, the tailor Zhang sent to Chenji Tailor Shop doesn't sound like she's from the capital, right?"
"No, after Fan Jinyou's incident, the people sent to your tailor shop are all carefully selected. They won't use those raw melon eggs outside." Zhang Mei put the paper bag into her coat pocket. , stood up and took out a stack of files from the cabinet.
“Auntie will check it for you right now.”
After turning a few pages, Zhang Mei’s brows suddenly frowned: “Something’s wrong, why is there no Tailor Zhang’s file here?”
Chen Xueru's heart skipped a beat, but her expression was calm: "Aunt Zhang, I'm just asking you a casual question."
Management in these days is not strict, and it is common for files to be lost. Zhang Mei didn't care at first, but she felt a little embarrassed when she heard this.
“Xueru, something is wrong with this matter. Wait a minute. I’ll ask Old Suntou. He was the one who handled Tailor Zhang’s matter back then.”
“Old Suntou, Where's Zhang Xiuhua's file? Haven't you delivered it yet?" Zhang Mei rushed out holding the file box.
After a while, she returned to the office and said angrily: "It's clear, Zhang Xiuhua is not from our street office at all, not even a temporary worker."
" She was originally a tailor at Houji Silk Shop. We need a skilled tailor, so Butler Bai introduced her. "
"I said, don't let the files go." Zhang. Mei said and handed over a data sheet: "This is a file that was added later. You see, she is from the capital."
Chen Xueru took it and read it over, wrote down all the information on it, and said with a smile as she handed it over: "Aunt Zhang, I have heard that pregnant lesbians with round bellies will give birth to sons."< br>
“Yeah, my daughter-in-law’s belly is round.”
When mentioning these things, Zhang Mei suddenly became energetic.
After the two chatted for a while, Chen Xueru left the labor team and sat for a while with Director Liu who managed the files.
After giving away two pecans, I successfully checked the neighborhood residential composition file table.
Back at the desk, looking at the literacy materials, Chen Xueru no longer had the intention to work.
I just hope to report the situation to the rough man in the evening.
When Chen Xueru got home, Li Aiguo had already prepared dinner.
To reward the little warrior Chen Xueru for her first mission.
Li Aiguo went to the vegetable market to buy eggs, vegetables, and tofu and made a large table of dishes.
Scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, stir-fried vegetables, braised tofu, fried peanuts, the staple food is cornstarch paste, and white flour steamed buns.
Chen Xueru entered the room and saw the table full of dishes. She was so happy that she couldn't close her mouth.
I washed my hands, picked up the chopsticks, and started eating big chunks of food. I didn’t put down the chopsticks until I was full and rubbed my belly.
"Oops, I'm going to gain weight again."
"I just like chubby girls." Li Aiguo picked up a piece of egg and put it into her bowl.
Chen Xueru knew clearly that the rough man was talking sweetly, but she still felt happy in her heart.
"How is the investigation of Zhang Xiuhua's situation going?"
"Ah, I almost forgot." Chen Xueru stuck out her cute little tongue and quickly straightened her body to report: " Zhang Xiuhua is not a temporary worker at the Subdistrict Office, but was introduced to the Daqianmen Subdistrict Office by Butler Bai from the Hou Family Silk Shop."
The chopsticks were stunned in the air, and Li Aiguo narrowed his eyes slightly.
He remembered that when the locomotive depot released Hou Bingchang, he did meet a middle-aged man who called himself Butler Bai.
"The archives of Zhang Xiuhua were added later. According to the archives, Zhang Xiuhua came to the capital before liberation. Her husband died in the war and she had been working in Hou's silk and satin shop, but"
said When Chen Xueru said this, a trace of doubt flashed in Chen Xueru's eyes, and she said with some hesitation: "Zhang Xiuhua's birth composition list was not found in the household composition registration files in the subdistrict office area."
Rural areas began to be divided in the 1950s. ingredients.
In five or six years, the transformation was completed and the urban population began to be divided into different groups.
The sub-district office officers investigate the situation of households and adopt a three-year back-examination method to assess the status of households.
Because this is an important rectification task, all the sub-district office officers were dispatched to conduct door-to-door inspections repeatedly, which was enough to ensure that no one was missed.
There was no ingredient list for Zhang Xiuhua at the Daqianmen Street Office, which only meant that she was not in the capital at that time.
Chen Xueru saw Li Aiguo's solemn expression and understood the reason. She put down her chopsticks and said doubtfully: "The tailor shop is not a secret place. My family is not a time-honored brand and there is no ancestral formula. Why would Zhang Xiuhua target my family?" "
"The enemy will not act without purpose. Since they are acting, they must have a plan!" Li Aiguo said slowly: "What special thing happened to your family recently?"
"No, my dad is the manager and greets customers in the tailor shop every day. The eldest brother is a worker." Chen Xueru said halfway, her face changed: "The eldest brother seems to have been promoted recently. I don't know the specific position. I just heard from my sister-in-law that I can earn more every month." Get a five-dollar subsidy.”
Her voice immediately hesitated again: "It's just that the eldest brother was promoted. It seems that it happened after Tailor Zhang entered the shop. She can't predict it!"
At this time, Chen Xueru felt like me in the movie The personnel on the other side knew that the other party was Dieter, but they had no way of making a move.
This is about my father-in-law, can I be careless?
There was too much information missing, and Li Aiguo was a little confused.
However, he made a decision quickly.
Call the police!
Isn’t it stupid to just put your iron fist aside and fight with those monsters and monsters over your head?
Before liberation, we were at a disadvantage and had to fight wits and courage with the enemy.
Now that the enemy has fled in panic, all we have to do is work a miracle with great force.
After dinner.
Li Aiguo excused himself to go out to eat and prepared to leave the house.
"Brother Patriot, please wait a moment and help me buy something."
Taking a red coupon from Chen Xueru, Li Aiguo was silent for a moment.
Well, who makes us a good husband!
Putting the coupon in his pocket, Li Aiguo strode out of the house and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative at the corner of the street.
"Auntie, call."
"It's five cents a minute. Watch your time and put the money in the paper box."
The fat lady from the supply and marketing cooperative didn't even owe her money. She continued to crack melon seeds and chatted animatedly with the young man next door.
Li Aiguo really wanted to call Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu over, drag the culprit back to the courtyard and criticize her severely.
After all, if the fat lady had not sold the underwear to Qin Huairu, the underwear would not have entered Xu Damao's house. Xu Jixiang's ribs would not be broken, Jia Zhang's head would not be broken, Xu Damao and Jia Dongxu would not be broken Blue nose and swollen face.
Snap, the fat aunt pressed the alarm clock with her hand.
Li Aiguo: "."
Looking at the ticking hands of the alarm clock, he decided not to argue with the fat lady. He quickly shook the phone and called out a series of numbers to the operator.
Fifty-nine seconds later, the phone was placed on the fork, and the fat lady looked back angrily.
Putting down the five cents, Li Aiguo took out a red ticket and 12 cents from his pocket and handed it over: "Comrade, here is this thing."
"What the hell is this? ."
The fat on the fat lady's face was shaking. When she saw the tickets clearly, her expression looked like this↓
Li Aiguo put his hands in his pockets and turned sideways in front of the counter. He was shaking and whistling in his mouth.
At this moment, he is just an innocent passerby.
“Hey, I’m helping my wife buy a menstrual belt. I didn’t expect you to be a good husband.”
Li Aiguo was caught off guard and almost ducked.
He dodged the red thing from the fat aunt's hand, turned around and ran away in a hurry.
A burst of laughter came from behind.
Li Aiguo made up his mind that whoever does this kind of thing again will be a dog.
Late night.
Chen Xueru, who was seriously injured but still insisted on eating ice cream, raised her head and said with a smile: "Brother Patriot, thank you for today."
She was already very tired at this time, exquisite His little face was flushed, his eyes were blurred and deep, his eyebrows were white and his teeth were dripping with sweat.
"Ah, it's nothing! This is a new society, and old ideas are no longer relevant. I will buy them for you next time." Li Aiguo sat up straight.
I whispered in my heart: It’s not bad to be a dog man
In the auditorium of Kuanjie Church of Kidu Church.
The light is dim.
A group of ladies followed the pastor and recited scriptures, but Tailor Zhang, who was sitting in the corner, looked a little panicked.
She turned her head from time to time and looked at the door of the auditorium, as if she had been waiting for someone to appear.
It’s a pity that I waited until the end and didn’t wait for that person.
At this time, the church had already begun to distribute Holy Communion. The group of ladies who came here just for the biscuits rushed forward one after another and surrounded the church deacon.
“People should examine themselves, and then eat this bread and drink this cup. In the face of sins, we always ask others to forgive ourselves. Although we are many, we are still one bread and one body, because we are all part Receive this piece of cake.
Dear people, please don’t panic, everyone has a share! The Lord said.”
“My dear, please give me the biscuits.” Me.”
The old woman and the young daughter-in-law saw the pastor grumbling and wanted to tease him a few more words.
I couldn't bear it anymore and rushed forward to loot the Holy Communion.
Just kidding, the reason why they left their children alone and came here to listen to these guys talking nonsense was because of this biscuit.
The blond deacon was obviously a new transfer, and he was stunned for a moment, and the scene became chaotic.
“Forgive these ignorant people,” Tailor Zhang muttered in a low voice, shook his head with a wry smile, turned around and left the auditorium.
As soon as I walked out, a voice came from behind me.
"Please come with me, Butler Bai wants to see you."
