Chapter 68 Recommendation
Tu Qifang sighed and said, “You have just started working and don’t have much work experience. You are soft-hearted. Aren’t you easy to be controlled by Yi Zhonghai and his men?”

“No way? Yi Zhonghai is a nice guy. He bought scrap iron for the steelmaking process for the entire courtyard and exceeded the target. I was even praised for it! I found that only Jia Dongxu’s mother Zhang Cuihua was difficult to deal with in this courtyard, the others were okay.” Wang Shuanghua expressed his opinion.

Tu Qifang laughed dumbly and said, “You are such a child. You were deceived by their illusion.”

“Aunt Tu, please tell me in detail.” Wang Shuanghua said uncertainly.

Tu Qifang sorted out his thoughts and said, “The conditions in this courtyard are not bad. There are more than 20 families living here, most of whom are workers from the steel mill. I didn’t know much about it at first, but I took it seriously until the incident of bullying of military martyrs’ families happened last year. Later, through investigation, I found that many people living in this courtyard had problems with their values ​​and they treated the law as a joke. I wanted to send some of them to prison, but in this case, our street office would also be responsible for negligence. Besides, we also dismissed Yi Zhonghai and others, so we didn’t take any further action.”

“Aunt Tu, can you tell me in detail?” Wang Shuanghua took it seriously.

“Let’s talk about the deaf old lady first. Even though she is a five-guarantee household, in fact, she would not have been selected at first with her conditions. No one knows whose relationship she had to get selected as a five-guarantee household. The five-guarantee households in other courtyards generally do not interfere in the affairs of the courtyard. They are well-behaved and stable, and are also happy to help their neighbors. This deaf old lady is different. She calls herself the ancestor in the courtyard and beats people and smashes windows at every turn. Due to her old age, most people are unwilling to pay attention to her. As a result, she has become more rampant in recent years. The deaf old lady regards Sha Zhu as her own son and grandson, and does not allow Sha Zhu to be bullied. When Sha Zhu beats people, the deaf old lady often protects him.”

Wang Shuanghua said in surprise: “I thought the deaf old lady was very kind, but I didn’t expect she was such a person. Aunt Tu, please continue.”

“Yi Zhonghai was originally the uncle of the courtyard house. The street office established the uncle in charge to catch spies and control strangers at first, and later to mediate neighborhood conflicts.”

“Yi Zhonghai used his status as an eighth-level worker in the steel rolling mill and the intimidation of the deaf old lady and Sha Zhu to set up an independent kingdom in the courtyard. He did not allow the residents to call the police or inform the street office. Many workers who did not accept his approach moved away over the years. If it weren’t for the bullying of military martyrs’ families last year, the street office would have thought this was a civilized courtyard!”

“Liu Haizhong was originally a second-rate uncle who particularly loved being an official. He treated his superiors and the general public in two completely different ways.”

“Yan Bugui is timid and likes to take advantage of others. It is said that he even uses his status as a teacher to ask students’ parents for things. Let’s talk about He Yuzhu, who is simply a disaster.” Tu Qifang was about to explain when he was interrupted by Wang Shuanghua.

“Aunt Tu, I think He Yuzhu is a good person, how could he be a nuisance?”

“Girl, you have been deceived by them. Sha Zhu’s father followed the widow in 50, leaving behind He Yuzhu and his sister He Yushui. Since then, Sha Zhu has become a thorn in the side, beating others at every turn. On the second day of the first lunar month this year, Sha Zhu beat Xu Damao so badly that he was hospitalized. I heard that it was very serious. If the deaf old lady hadn’t asked someone to mediate, he would probably still be eating sand now.”

Wang Shuanghua was speechless. Is there no good person in Siheyuan? He immediately asked the question in his mind.

Tu Qifang thought for a moment and said, “Most people are normal, but they were born in this courtyard. If they don’t pay attention, they will be bullied by Yi Zhonghai and others.”

Wang Shuanghua said in embarrassment: “Jia Zhang is like this every day, it’s almost annoying me. The people in the courtyard are like this too. I don’t know what to do.”

Tu Qifang smiled and said, “Yi Zhonghai and others are just bullying you because you lack work experience. For Jia Zhang’s situation, you should just send her back to the countryside or punish her with labor reform, and she won’t dare to do that. Hearing you say that, I guess Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady are plotting behind this, wanting you to choose them as the stewards.” Wang Shuanghua said doubtfully, “Auntie, the stewards don’t have any power. They just mediate neighborhood disputes. Why are they so concerned?”

“Girl, people can be divided into different categories. There are all kinds of birds in the forest. Who knows what they are planning? But you just need to be careful and not let them get what they want.”

Tu Qifang was handing over work to Wang Shuanghua, but because she was in a hurry and did not explain everything clearly to Wang Shuanghua, now she is telling all her work experience to Wang Shuanghua.

What’s more, my little daughter also works in the street office, just not in Nanluoguxiang. The more people I help, the more people will help my daughter.

“Aunt Tu, you have to give me some advice.” Wang Shuanghua felt that his brain was not enough.

“Let’s put it this way! A manager is indeed needed, and it’s not a good thing to keep bothering the street office with trivial matters. But Yi Zhonghai cannot be chosen. As for the manager, it is not necessary to choose an old one, a young person can also be chosen.” Tu Qifang said with a smile.

“Do you mean to choose the young people in the hospital?” Wang Shuanghua asked doubtfully.

“Yes, you should have heard what the teacher said to the foreign students in Most. He said that the world is yours, and ours, but in the final analysis, it is yours. You young people are full of vigor and vitality, and you are in your prime, like the sun at eight or nine o’clock in the morning. Hope rests on you.”

“Teachers can place the country’s future hopes on young people. The street office cannot hand over a small courtyard house to young people for management. Besides, young people are often less dirty and more fair.” It seems that Tu Qifang is a loyal admirer of the leader.

“Auntie, I’m not very familiar with the people in this courtyard. Do you have any recommendations?” Wang Shuanghua asked.

Tu Qifang thought for a moment and said, “Except for Yi Zhonghai and his gang, most people in this courtyard are relatively stable. If you don’t want to stand out, it’s really hard to choose.”

“Well, I recommend Shen Zhiyu. This kid is the descendant of a martyr and has a high level of education. You can listen to Shen Zhiyu’s advice on the rest. However, you can’t just ask him to be the manager right away. From what I know about this kid, he doesn’t want to get involved in the affairs of their courtyard. You can euphemistically say that if he doesn’t take the position, Yi Zhonghai and others will have to step in. In this way, in order to avoid being disgusted by Yi Zhonghai and others, he will also step in.”

Wang Shuanghua naturally nodded in agreement to Tu Qifang’s suggestion and decided to find Shen Zhiyu tonight to determine his identity as the manager as soon as possible.

Otherwise, the No. 95 courtyard house would take up most of his time, seriously affecting the development of other important work.
