The Fiery Era of Siheyuan

Chapter 338, Moral Model

In the evening, the sun is setting.

After the rolling mill's off-work bell rang, Yi Zhonghai followed the off-work team and walked straight back to the courtyard.

On the way back, he was still thinking about Sha Zhu going to the hospital to pick up Qin Huairu. He just didn't know how Sha Zhu was doing and what the situation was like in the hospital now.

If Shazhu and his wife make a fuss in the yard when they go back later, he has already thought of excuses for Shazhu, and he will definitely be able to smooth things over.

After turning his thoughts, he quickly returned to the courtyard.

When he got home, before he could sit down and drink some water, the first mother mentioned today's incident to him.

"Old Yi, didn't you say that Dongxu's wife will be picked up by you and Sha Zhu together? Why did you not see any of you in the end, so I have to go?"

Yi Zhonghai was stunned, and asked, "Huh? Did you pick up Dongxu's wife today? Shazhu didn't go?"

The aunt blamed and said: "Oh, what are you doing silly, I didn't even see a ghost, you guys are really good, you will pick up the things you agreed, one by one, and no one can be relied on."

"In the end, Weiguo is the most reliable. At noon, a female security guard was specially arranged to pick me up in a scooter, and took me to the hospital to pick up Dongxu's wife, which saved us both a lot of effort."

"Well, you don't know if you don't sit down. It's really stable and fast to drive, and it's so comfortable." The aunt didn't know his arrangement, so she told him about today's events with a smile. Li Weiguo praised him all over and praised the child for doing things well.

After listening to Da Ma's words, Yi Zhonghai was stunned. Didn't he arrange for Shazhu to go there? How did Li Weiguo intervene in the end?

Was Sha Zhu aware of it, or was he talking too much, and Li Weiguo accidentally found out about it and intervened?
Yi Zhonghai's expression fluctuated, and his heart was pounding.

Because no matter what the situation is, it means that his little plan has failed.

It’s okay if Shazhu notices something, and he will go to fool around, but if Li Weiguo sees through his little thoughts, then it’s not easy to fool.
I don't know why, ever since Li Weiguo got up, facing Li Weiguo alone, he always had a feeling of guilt in his heart, as if the whole person had been seen through, and there was no secret at all.

Seeing him sitting there in a daze without speaking, the first mother raised her hand and patted him, and said concernedly: "Lao Yi, what's wrong with you today? Are you uncomfortable?"

Yi Zhonghai came to his senses and said perfunctorily: "Oh no. It's nothing. I was thinking about work. The new factory director took office today and there are a lot of things."

The aunt did not doubt that he was there, and was immediately distracted by the appointment of the new factory manager. She put the topic behind her and gossiped with him about the new factory manager.

In the room, the husband and wife chatted one after another.

At the same time, in the front yard, Li Weiguo also got off work early and returned to the courtyard.

He didn't have much work today, so he sneaked out during working hours and took a stroll outside, and then went back to the security department to rest for a while, and when the factory bell rang at six o'clock, he ran away with his satchel.

It was still early when I got home, and the rain had just finished school, and I hadn't started cooking yet, so I was lighting a fire for the stove in his room with my butt sticking out.

Li Weiguo carried two net bags of non-staple food, and entered the house lightly, wanting to surprise the girl Yushui, but as soon as he entered the house, he saw the little girl's pouting buttocks.

The pearls are round and smooth, round and plump, just like that alluring peach, which made Li Weiguo's mouth thirsty and distracted for a while.

By coincidence, he slapped it lightly with a slap.

A crisp "pop" sound.

"what"

With a cry of surprise, Yushui jumped up.

But when he turned his head and found that it was the rascal who was playing tricks, his face flushed with embarrassment, and he pounced on him with all his teeth and claws.

"I hate it~ You are a bad guy, you are playing tricks again, let's see how I deal with you!"

"Hey, rain, don't be impulsive. I saw a mosquito on your butt and I'm going to help you fight it." Li Weiguo begged for mercy with a smile.

But Xiao Nizi's temper came up, but no matter what he said, she threw herself into his arms, raised her hand and grabbed the guy's thick skin, pinching and pulling, trying to let him know how powerful she is.

But it's a pity that the little girl's strength is too weak, and it's useless to clean him up for a long time. Instead, the rascal took advantage of the situation and hugged her in her arms, bowed her head and grabbed her little mouth.

"Hmm~"

For a moment, Yuyu's mind went blank. After struggling a little, he surrendered and his whole body collapsed in his arms.

After 5 minutes, the two parted their lips, the rain seemed to be reborn, and they greedily gasped for fresh air, their beautiful eyes were blurred.

Li Weiguo smacked his lips involuntarily, secretly praising this little girl for making good progress, and after studying for a while, she will almost be able to become a teacher.

The rain slowed down, he gritted his silver teeth, grabbed the rascal by the ear, and said coquettishly: "Hmph~ You scoundrel, you play bad tricks every time, and I won't cook for you if you do this again in the future. do it yourself!"

Li Weiguo chuckled, put his hands around her waist, and said shamelessly: "Okay, okay, I won't dare to do it next time. I promise to be honest."

"Hmph~ If you can believe what you say, even a sow can climb a tree."

Still not relieved after speaking, Yushui pursed his mouth, and Duangduang gave the rascal two more rocket head hammers in the chest, which almost didn't make him angry.

Just as the young couple were cuddling and playing, several people suddenly came in from the courtyard.

The visitor did not stop. After greeting the third uncle at the door, he went straight to the middle courtyard under the leadership of the third uncle.

After a while, there was the sound of gongs beating and shouting in the middle courtyard. Li Weiguo listened carefully, and heard the neighbors shouting "the meeting has started".

So the young couple didn't bother to fight anymore, put down the things in their hands, picked up a bench, and walked side by side to the middle courtyard, wanting to see what was going on.

When the two arrived at the middle courtyard, a lot of people had already gathered in the middle courtyard. It was time for every household to get off work and make dinner. I moved the bench out and wanted to hear what was going on today.

Leading Yushui into the middle courtyard, Li Weiguo looked at the Eight Immortals Table in the middle, hey, isn't it Zhao Guobing and Director Wang from the neighborhood committee who are here, and there are three cadres from the neighborhood committee next to them.

When Li Weiguo came over, Director Wang also saw him, and waved his hand enthusiastically from a long distance away as a greeting, while Zhao Guobing blinked at him and gave him a "you understand" look.

When Li Weiguo saw this, he immediately grinned.

Good guy, I just told Zhao Guobing to look at the arrangement in the afternoon, but I didn't expect him to arrange it after work, it's really reliable.

So Li Weiguo also wrote ink, picked a place with a good view, put down the bench, sat down under the rain, and waited to eat melons.

After a while, most of the neighbors in the courtyard were present, and everyone took their seats, sitting in a circle around the Eight Immortals table in the middle.

As usual, at the Eight Immortals table in the middle, Zhao Guobing and Director Wang were sitting on the left and right, and the other three neighborhood committee cadres and three uncles were sitting next to each other.

Seeing that the people were almost here, the old man cleared his throat, stood up first, and said: "Everyone in the neighborhood, please be quiet, today we have leaders from the street and the neighborhood committee here to guide you. Applause."

After saying that, the first man took the lead in applauding.

"Papa papa" everyone present clapped and cooperated.

After the applause subsided, Director Wang and Zhao Guobing exchanged glances, nodded, and stood up without hesitation:
"Neighbors and neighbors, it's time for everyone to make dinner. I'll disturb you for a few minutes. Let's have a brief meeting."

"It's a happy event that I specially convened a meeting with everyone today. Under the rule of our Nanluoguxiang Neighborhood Committee in the last quarter, the selection of model courtyard houses has ended. Can you guess which courtyard the model courtyard house belongs to?"

When Director Wang said this, the people present didn't know who would get it, and there was a "wow" at the scene, and there was joy and thunderous applause.

In this day and age, the faith is simple, and the common people attach great importance to honor. Although the model courtyard house does not give too many rewards, the honor represented here is very precious. When you go out and talk to the neighbors in the surrounding yards, you can hold your head high. Be confident.

Director Wang watched with a smile as the residents present rejoiced for a while, without showing off, and then loudly announced the results of No. 95 Courtyard, and then took an iron plate from the hand of a neighborhood committee cadre next to him.

What is written on it is the five big characters of "Model Siheyuan", which is the kind of mobile metal nameplate hanging at the gate of the courtyard.

Director Wang smiled and handed the nameplate to the first uncle and encouraged: "Master Yi, you must continue to maintain it in the future."

The uncle took it with both hands, and promised cheerfully: "Thank you, Director Wang, for the trust in the organization. We will definitely continue to maintain it and strive to be a model for the next quarter."

The second and third uncles on the side also echoed. Although Director Wang had already explained his purpose when he came, this moment of honor is quite exciting.

It’s been a long time since their courtyard house received a decent honor. Normally, either the dispute was not handled properly, or the conflict was brought to the neighborhood committee. Even the three of them were often criticized, and they missed the “model” for several seasons. This time it was finally a time of elation.

However, the awarding of model nameplates was not the end. After everyone was happy, Director Wang received a color-printed certificate from a cadre next to him in the eyes of everyone's doubts.

"Comrades, the honor just now was a collective honor, and this one now is an individual honor. Our Courtyard No. 95 has a highly respected "moral model". Do you know who it is?"

"Huh!!"

As soon as Director Wang finished speaking, there was an uproar at the scene. I didn't expect that the courtyard got a model, but someone got a moral model. This is big news.

The honor of this moral model is not small, it is similar to the Chastity Archway in ancient times, whoever wins this title can be regarded as a highly respected figure in the whole Nanluoguxiang, and has face wherever he goes.

Everyone below was whispering and discussing, and some of the people who were close even stretched their necks to see who was written on the certificate.

However, the certificate of award is co-authored and cannot be seen.

The three uncles looked at each other with blank expressions. When Director Wang came over just now, he didn't mention this issue.

At this moment, the three of them were a little nervous, because what Director Wang said just now was very clear, except for the old lady in the courtyard, only the three of them could count on the respected moral model.

The old lady doesn't go out all the year round and doesn't care about anything, so it probably has nothing to do with her. Then the three men in charge are most likely the ones left.

For a while, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui were in a state of confusion, hoping that this honor would belong to them.

With this honor, in the future, the unit will have priority in evaluating outstanding individuals, evaluating work performance, and even recommending jobs.

But it didn't confuse everyone for too long. Director Wang and Zhao Guobing glanced at each other and read out in public:
"There is Comrade Yi Zhonghai who loves neighbors, unites comrades, is willing to help others, and respects the old and loves the young. Comrade Yi Zhonghai is hereby awarded the honorary title of "Moral Model" by the first Nanluoguxiang Neighborhood Committee. This certificate is hereby issued as an encouragement. Above , Nanluoguxiang Neighborhood Committee, 1961, April 4."

After the voice fell, there was warm applause in the courtyard.

For this result, the neighbors in the courtyard are quite acceptable. Although Yi Zhonghai is a bit hypocritical, he has done a good job of saving face, at least on the surface, he has maintained the relative fairness in the courtyard.

Suddenly, such a big honor fell from the top of his head, the great master Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed, he quickly stood up and bowed to everyone, thanking him again and again.

Looking at the first uncle who was so happy from ear to ear, the second uncle and the third uncle felt a little tired.

The third master is okay, he just curled his lips, showing no unnecessary expression, with an attitude of being lucky and losing my life.

But the second uncle was very unhappy, his whole face was stiff, just now he had arranged his clothes and was ready to accept the award, but it turned out that Yi Zhonghai was the one who got the honor after a long time of trouble.

The second uncle scolded Yi Zhonghai, Director Wang and others all over the place in his heart, the sky really has no eyes.

Now it will be even more difficult for him to shake the position of Mr. Yi Zhonghai
