Chapter 128: The Trap Digged by the Children of the Compound
Zhao Dongchuan was confused. Damn it, I didn’t!
No matter how he searched his memory, he could not find any trace of the original owner's memory.
This is very confusing!
"Who is that Li Zhou? Why are you helping him so hard?"
"Li Zhou was from a military compound, and his father was a powerful figure in the military. I was a distant relative of his, so I met them at a party.
When Li Zhou found me a year ago, I was very surprised. I didn't expect that a commoner would provoke him.
It was just a piece of cake, so I helped him with it. I don't know anything else, that's all I know!" Director Li said with his eyes blank and expressionless.
Zhao Dongchuan felt a little confused. He had no impression of this person at all.
Logically speaking, the original owner was timid and should not have provoked such a person. Moreover, even if there was a situation, he should have been able to find some clues.
Things have come to this point and he has asked almost all the questions. He has to think about how to deal with Director Li.
Although the Street Office is a grassroots department, it is closely related to the lives of ordinary people and plays a very important role. He is a little confused about whether to let him surrender himself or make good use of him.
After some consideration, Zhao Dongchuan decided to keep Director Li and let him play his role well. When Zhao Dongchuan was away, he could ask him to secretly look after his parents.
As for his affairs with money and women, he doesn't care. If Director Li is gone, there will still be Director Wang, Director Ma... Anyone in this position will be unable to avoid it.
Afterwards, Zhao Dongchuan gave instructions to Director Li, asking him to work hard and stop doing those stupid things. It would also be best to separate the things he had done before, take what he deserves, and remember to manage more and not be greedy, so that he could hold the position of director for a long time.
After obtaining the information about Li Zhou from Director Li, Zhao Dongchuan left quietly, as if he had never been there.
Since things have already been figured out, he is not in a hurry and will make arrangements with Li Zhou in two days.
…………
After strolling around and spending a lot of time here, several hours had passed and he had to go back quickly, otherwise if he got back late, his parents at home would be worried and ask him a lot of questions.
After leaving the street office, Zhao Dongchuan walked through several low alleys, found an opportunity, put the system glasses back into the space, and then wandered back home.
The distance was not very far, so Zhao Dongchuan walked back directly. When he returned to Nanluoguxiang with his hands in his pockets, it was already 3 o'clock in the afternoon and the factory was about to get off work.
After entering the yard, Zhao Dongchuan greeted the group of aunties with a smile. No matter what the aunties thought in their hearts, they all responded with a smile.
Zhao Dongchuan went straight back to the house without much small talk. He couldn't get along well with the aunties. Was it just a matter of gossiping about family matters?
……
In the following days, Zhao Dongchuan stayed at home and did not go anywhere. These days, relatives were not allowed to visit each other during the New Year. Those were feudal dregs and were all banned.
Moreover, each family's food rations were not abundant. If you went there and ate other people's food rations, then they would probably have to eat porridge for several days, so people rarely visited each other at this time.
Although it is the Spring Festival, it is no different from any other day. Fortunately, it is not as busy as in previous years, otherwise he would have to hold the Quotations from Confucius and hold family meetings to criticize and denounce revisionism during meals.
Of course, families without children or with people living in rural areas will have more food.
As for those dignitaries, they are not included in this scope, as they always need food.
So Zhao Dongchuan basically stayed at home these two days to read books, help Guo Ping with housework and cooking, or take the grain book and non-staple food book to the corresponding grain store to get grain coupons and other tickets to buy grain and oil.
That day, just as he was about to continue reading, Guo Ping came over with a bag.
"Dongchuan, we have a mission today. We have to go to uncle's house to visit grandpa and grandma!"
"Um, okay, how do we get there?"
"Take the bus!"
"Um, okay!" Zhao Dongchuan touched the back of his head a little awkwardly. He had gotten used to riding a bicycle when going out, and he felt a little uncomfortable without it all of a sudden.
No, I have to find a reason to use my bicycle, otherwise it would be too troublesome to walk or take the bus all the time.
Zhao Zhengguo is the second child in the family, with an older brother and a younger sister. The relationship between the three siblings is neither very good nor bad, and it is within the normal range. There are not so many bloody plots of mutual calculations in their daily lives.
At present, my grandparents live with my eldest son and share the same food ration with them. My uncle works in a printing factory and they are in a good time. There are many people in the family and they were given two rooms in Xicheng District.
Normally, everyone lives their own life, and only during festivals will they go out together. The main reason is that everyone's living conditions are not good now, and we have to reduce expenses as much as possible.
Since Zhao Dongchuan is back this year, I must go and visit him. He has brought back a lot of things, which I can also give to the elderly at home.
Zhao Dongchuan carried a bag containing malted milk, canned fruits and other gifts, and went out with his mother. They walked for a while to the bus stop. Soon the bus arrived, and he protected Guo Ping and got on the bus with the crowd.
We walked along Di'anmen Street, passed Beihai Park, and soon arrived at Xicheng District. We got off the bus at Ping'anli and walked all the way to Xinkai Hutong, where the house allocated to my uncle's family was.
Zhao Dongchuan followed his mother Guo Ping and turned left and right until they came to a courtyard. This courtyard was also a typical Beijing courtyard, and it looked wider than the courtyard on the Nanluoguxiang side.
When he came to his senses, Guo Ping had already knocked on the door of a room in the east wing of the central courtyard.
"Who is it?" An old voice came from inside, followed by the sound of footsteps.
"Ya!" As the door opened, an old man with gray hair and reading glasses appeared in front of the two.
"Dad! Happy New Year!"
"Grandpa! Happy New Year!"
Guo Ping and Zhao Dongchuan greeted the old man when they saw him.
"Oh, Xiaoping is here! And Dongchuan, wow, you're back!" When the old man saw the two of them, he immediately said with a happy smile.
He quickly invited the two of them into the house.
This old man is Zhao Dongchuan’s grandfather, Zhao Dali.
"I heard from Zhengguo before the New Year that you were coming back. I didn't expect you to really come back! That's great!" Zhao Dali said kindly to Zhao Dongchuan.
"Grandpa, I haven't seen you for a year and I missed you so much, so I asked for home leave from my company. My leader approved it and I came back to see you!" Zhao Dongchuan said with a smile.
