Chapter 138 The Street Office Holds a General Meeting
When Bai Baoshan came back from work in the afternoon, he heard a shocking news from a group of aunts and grandmas at the gate.
"Director Bai is back. Have you heard? Jia Zhang has been taken away."
"He was taken away by Director Chen from the street office. His mouth was almost broken before he was taken away." said an old lady.
"Take away? Why?"
"Why? It's because Jia Zhang is holding the money and refuses to give it out, always thinking of asking Qin Huairu to go to other families to ask for it. These days, it's easy for anyone to do so.
Qin Huairu went to the street office and found the director of women's affairs. Now, she would be punished at least for not dying. This director hated evil mothers-in-law who oppressed their daughters-in-law the most.
"Without Jia Zhang, wouldn't the compound be much quieter?" Bai Baoshan said.
"Who says it isn't?"
"Auntie, Auntie, you guys continue, I'm going home."
Bai Baoshan carried his bicycle into the yard.
Knocked on the door.
After a while, Qiao Yun came out to open the door.
"Brother, I'm back."
"You're back. What are you doing at home?"
"Hehe... knitting a sweater."
"That's awesome. Come on, let's go inside. It's cold outside. See what I brought back for you." Bai Baoshan took out a small bag from the bamboo basket and pulled Qiao Yun into the house.
The small bag was like a small quilt, and inside it was a handful of Chinese cabbage weighing about 2 kilograms and two green peppers.
"Wow... Bro, how do I eat this?"
"It's up to you how you want to eat."
"For Yangchun noodles, two handfuls of thin noodles, two bowls of water, a spoonful of lard, a spoonful of Liubiju soy sauce, and a few crisp and crispy cabbages.
There are also eggs. Put fried eggs in it and it smells delicious. "
"I know how to eat. Okay, let's have plain noodles. I picked up some braised beef a few days ago, and put a few slices in the bowl. Even though it's cold, we can't leave that stuff out. We'll eat it when we get back."
"Okay, I'll listen to you, brother."
I think very few people use this kind of coal stove at home.
I turned on the coal stove and took a look. It was fine.
Just put the small wok on it and fry the eggs first.
After the eggs are fried, change the soup pot, add water, and wait for the water to boil.
Qiao Yun took out two large bowls and put salt, a spoonful of lard, a spoonful of Liubiju soy sauce, and a drop of sesame oil in each bowl. When the water boiled, she added a spoonful of soup into the bowl.
Put the noodles in at this time.
Add cold water three times when the water boils.
Take out the noodles, divide them into bowls, and throw in the bok choy.
After two boils, come out and place on the edge of the bowl, put the eggs on it and the sliced beef on it.
That's it.
"Brother, try it quickly." Qiao Yun handed a pair of chopsticks to Bai Baoshan.
"Mm, not bad, very fragrant."
Bai Baoshan picked up the noodles and took a sip.
With Bai Baoshan's exquisite way of eating, how could it not be delicious?
Other people’s homes don’t have this kind of food. They only have cornmeal steamed bread with pickles.
Those who work in the steel rolling mill would bring back some leftovers.
It’s the only thing in the family that we can show off.
The Jia family was doing well today, as there were finally no messy things and smells made by Jia Zhang.
Finally I can eat comfortably.
Today's corn noodles were also donated by Tang Yiming's family, and not only that, there was also a potato.
The Jia family is still using Jia Dongxu’s quota for winter vegetable storage, but it will be gone next year.
However, Qin Huairu will feel much better after entering the steel rolling mill.
The Jia family seemed to be in a better situation, as they received some help from the Tang family openly and some money from Yi Zhonghai secretly.
The Yan family is only in difficulty on the surface, but even if they sell all their grain and live a frugal life, it will be enough for them to eat.
But it can only make you 6% to 7% full at most. It would be difficult to feel fuller.
Are there any poor people in this compound? Really not.
Even the two brothers from the Lin family next door wouldn't be that poor.
At around 6 o'clock, there was a knock on the door.
"Who is it?" Bai Baoshan came out and opened the door.
"Jiefang, what's the matter?" At first glance it was Yan Jiefang from Yan Bugui's family.
I don't know through whom I got the connection, but I went to the steel rolling mill and joined the temporary loading and unloading staff, commonly known as a handyman.
Whenever the factory is short of people, we can choose from here.
Those who do all the moving and lifting work.
But they are all in teams.
There are people specifically in charge of command and dispatch, so it is obvious that this is also a small society.
Just like the shipping at the dock in the past, it was divided up by various gangs.
"Director Bai, Director Chen and Director Wang from the Street Women's Federation are here. They said they will hold a meeting in the Intermediate Court later. Please notify everyone to gather in the court and talk for a while.
It's probably about Jia Zhang's family.
"Okay, got it. I'll go right away."
Bai Baoshan was not interested in attending the private meetings in the hospital, but he had to attend the meetings organized by the street office.
After saying goodbye to Qiao Yun and asking her to stay at home, Bai Baoshan put on thick clothes and went out.
I guess the heads of every household in the Central Court have all come out.
Seeing Bai Baoshan coming, they consciously gave way and Bai Baoshan came to the front.
Even so, wanting to let bygones be bygones and forget the past? That's wishful thinking.
Bai Baoshan just nodded.
The table in front was gone. Liu Haizhong stood on the left, Yan Bugui stood on the right, with two directors in the middle, and several comrades from the street office stood on the other side.
Director Wang saw Bai Baoshan coming and nodded, and Bai Baoshan did the same.
We are all nodding acquaintances, there is no need to be any more apart.
However, Director Chen looked at Bai Baoshan with great interest.
Director Chen stood up and clapped his hands.
"Everyone is here, let me say a few words.
This time I came here because of Jia Zhang from your courtyard.
How did you tolerate this cancer for so many years? Don't you know to report it to the police or the street office?
Are you so easy to bully?
You are not being tolerant, you are encouraging others' arrogance.
The first time she throws a tantrum, you should teach her a lesson. Remember your identities: you are workers and workers' families. You must not back down.
If you retreat, what will happen to the civilians behind you?
Where can they hide?
When encountering difficulties, obstacles, or enemies, soldiers will be the first to go. If there are no soldiers, then workers will be the first to go.
Unless these two organizations are wiped out, it will be the turn of ordinary people.
It is because of your consistent connivance that the Jia Zhang family, a malignant tumor that has changed the world without knowing it, has been allowed to remain so rampant until now.
I am ashamed of you...
Why do you keep pulling me? Am I wrong?" Director Chen glanced at Director Wang who was always pulling him.
"Director Chen, you are too kind."
“It’s not serious, that’s putting it mildly.
Jia Zhang was put in the dark room of the street office, but she still dared to engage in feudal superstition and insult the staff. Director Wang, tell me, is this serious?
You are willing to smooth things over, but I, Chen Shuping from the Women's Association, won't. If I were to smooth things over, a female comrade would be abused.
It doesn’t matter if I didn’t see it, but if I see it, I will take care of it to the end.”
Director Wang's expression was obviously not very good, but this was not the time for the two of them to quarrel.
Seeing that Director Wang stopped talking, Director Chen turned around again.
"Qin Huairu, on Sunday, the day after tomorrow, Jia Zhang will be made into an example and dragged to the square to be criticized. Do you want to come forward and give your own testimony?"
"Well... Director Chen... Director Chen, I'd better not go. I can't go in this health condition." Qin Huairu said hesitantly.
"Okay, I won't force you.
There were two other dishonest elements in the same group, who forced the daughter-in-law to death while someone was covering up the incident...
"Cough cough... cough cough..."
"Director Wang, if you feel uncomfortable, you can leave first.
They actually forced their daughter-in-law to death while someone was covering it up. These evil people should be made to know the iron fist of the new world.
Qin Huairu, after my mother-in-law is done with me the day after tomorrow, I will arrange for someone to send her back to the countryside.
I also found out that you still have a rural household registration, but after giving birth to a child you will go to work in a steel mill. I also understand the cause of the incident.
I have informed the steel mill and asked them to issue a statement and process your household registration in advance so that you will have an easier time.
Bring your ID to see me at the street office tomorrow."
"Chen... wuwuwu... Director Chen, thank you, thank you,... wuwuwu..."
Bai Baoshan took a special look at Director Chen. He hated evil.
As for Director Wang, he still wants to cover up the truth now. He is such a piece of shit.
"It's getting late. Sorry to bother you all. Let's go home." Director Chen waved his hand and asked everyone to go home.
Bai Baoshan nodded to Director Chen, smiled, and turned back to the front yard.
This made Director Chen stunned for a moment.
