On the other side of the door is the courtyard

Chapter 115
Neighbors in the courtyard who work at the steel rolling mill were also allowed to get off work early today so that they could go back to the courtyard to help arrange Jia Dongxu's funeral arrangements.

So on the way, the neighbors who came out a little late caught up with Yi Zhonghai who was pushing the cart.

"Master, let me help you push the cart."

Although he and Jia Dongxu had some disputes during his lifetime, the debt was wiped out after death, so Silly Zhu still stood up.

When the workshop director saw that he could talk to Yi Zhonghai alone by letting someone else push the cart, he immediately agreed.

"Master Yi, let the young people do the work of pushing the cart. I just have something to tell you."

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai didn't insist anymore, Shazhu stepped forward and took over the cart.

"Master Yi, can you tell me about the living conditions of Jia Dongxu's family?"

The workshop director asked.

Yi Zhonghai knew that he was going to discuss pension matters with him.

"His wife has a job. She is a textile factory employee and earns a monthly salary of 27 yuan. There is also a child under one year old at home. My mother has a rural household registration and has no job."

Yi Zhonghai concealed two sums of extra income from the Jia family, and revealed the information that would have been known on the surface after a quick check.

Hearing this, the workshop director felt relieved.

Fortunately, if you leave Jia Dongxu, you will not be reduced to a poor family. Otherwise, if the orphans and widowed mothers come to the factory every day and cry in the street, no one can stand it.

"Master Yi, the factory has decided to follow the normal work-related injury pension. What do you think?"

"Dongxu probably wanted to save the machine at that time, so he went up and got so close.

This must be considered as a sacrifice to protect national property. "

Anyway, the lion opens his mouth first.

"Master Yi, I know you want to gain more for your apprentice.

But you also know the specific situation, so it can’t be considered a sacrifice.

I won’t lie to you anymore. The factory leaders have already set the basic tone.

Just follow the work-related injury criteria, and then try to go to the highest level within a reasonable range. "

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai understood that the factory leaders had given him face.

If Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu were really asked to make trouble, they might be able to get a little more, but this would offend too many people.

"I have basically no problem here. I will tell Dongxu's mother and his wife when I get home."

"Otherwise, you, Master Yi, must be very enlightened!
I'll leave this to you. I'll go back and report to the leaders first. "

"Zhuzi, thank you for your hard work. After Dongxu is laid to rest tomorrow, he will have to trouble you to take charge of his extravagant affairs. Do you have any rules about not doing extraneous things?"

"The elders all live in the same courtyard. I have to take care of his funeral affairs, so I will be in charge of everything."

"Zhuzi, you are a good boy. In fact, when Dongxu was still here, I told him that I would not suffer any loss if I were friends with you. Well, now that he is gone, it is too late to say anything."

After regaining his sanity, Yi Zhonghai moved Si Zhu deeply with just a few words.

"Master, you don't need to say anything. If you need my help with anything in the backyard, just ask."

When everyone in the steel rolling mill returned to the courtyard, Yang Yi happened to be home from school.

When I saw the white cloth covering the trolley, I knew that one of my neighbors must have disappeared again.

It hasn't been long since Li Laogen left last time, why did another one leave?

Is there something wrong with Feng Shui?
I asked a walk-in neighbor.

"Uncle, who is on this cart?"

"Jia Dongxu from the Intermediate Court is gone."

What, doesn’t Xiao Jia have at least seven or eight more years to live?

What happened in this!
Yang Yi continued to question the neighbor.

When he heard that it was a machine accident, Yang Yi had a rough guess.

"You are all back, where is Li Xiaoming?"

"He is pretending to be proactive in the factory. He refuses to leave work early because he says he can't complete the task. They all live in the same hospital. Even if they have conflicts, they have to be angry after death. Now he can't even deal with the aftermath. It’s so cold-blooded to not show up for anything.”

Yang Yi could understand Li Xiaoming's approach.In future generations, just as a normal neighbor, who would care if someone died in your family?

Not to mention that he is a bit dirty on weekdays, so he shouldn't watch jokes secretly behind closed doors.

However, this kind of behavior that was normal in later generations would have been considered inhumane in the 50s.

While Yang Yi was asking questions, the cart had already arrived at the middle courtyard.

In the middle courtyard, the aunt and daughter-in-law were gathering together to make Chinese knots. It was a bit strange to see their men come back so early.

Until he saw the cart being pushed by Silly Pillar.

This is another accident in the factory!

Fortunately, everyone in charge is here.

"Where's Dongxu? Master, why didn't Dongxu come back with you?"

Jia Zhang already had a vague feeling that something was wrong. She didn't even have the courage to go up and lift the white cloth. She just hoped to get a result from Yi Zhonghai that she was willing to listen to.

"Sister-in-law, Dongxu is gone."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang fainted.

The aunts hurriedly went up and pinched the people.

After a while of busy work, Jia Zhang finally woke up.

"Lao Yi, sir, Dongxu went to work with you two chatting and laughing this morning, why are they gone now?

You compensate my son! "

After saying that, she started crying at the top of her lungs. Until now, she still didn't have the courage to lift the white cloth.

Yi Zhonghai also knew that Jia Zhang's mood had collapsed, so he ignored her and arranged for everyone on his own.

You, go prepare the coffin.

You, go and do whatever you want.

You aunties, keep an eye on Jia and Zhang, and don't make her too excited.After Qin Huairu comes back, the two of them will have to wipe Jia Dongxu's body and change clothes.

Even Yang Yi was asked to do something by Yi Zhonghai.

"Xiaoyi, can you tell your parents to come here and offer incense to Dongxu tonight. Having two leaders come to see him off will also make his departure more pleasant."

This request was not too much, so Yang Yi nodded in agreement.

After everything was arranged, Yi Zhonghai seemed to have lost all his strength and sat down on the ground against the wall.

"Master Yi, I just heard from my neighbor that the accident was caused by a loose screw, right?"

Yi Zhonghai nodded.

"So if the screws are loose, don't you check them before starting work?"

"It should be inspected before starting work in the morning, but during the inspection at noon, many people didn't take it seriously."

"Didn't Brother Dongxu find out that the screws were loose during the inspection in the morning? It's unlikely that the screws suddenly became loose during lunch."

"It's not that this kind of situation doesn't happen, it's just rare... Xiaoyi, you don't mean to say that this accident was not an accident, but man-made."

“No, no, no, I don’t understand machines, and I can’t tell the difference between accidents and man-made ones.

It’s just that my dad’s job makes me think more about everything.

That sentence my dad always talks about.In any perfect crime scene, if you are careful enough, there will always be clues left behind. "

"Xiao Yi, thank you for the reminder. I'll go back to the scene to take a look."

Li Xiaoming, at your age, have you ever seen "Detective Di Renjie"?

Those clues left at the scene may not be able to nail you, but—I, Yang Yi, still have backup plans.
