It was already half-past six when Chief Wang finished eating at home. He did not even bother to clean the table. He put on his clothes and prepared to go out.
"Where are you going?”The husband said with some dissatisfaction.
"What can I do if I go to Old Yi's courtyard house? Their courtyard house is too troublesome!”Chief Wang put on his clothes and left after saying that.
The man had no choice but to stand up and clear the dishes.
When he arrived at the courtyard house, he saw his neighbors enjoying the shade outside.
The weather in August was exceptionally hot. Even at night, there was not much wind. Chief Wang walked for five minutes and was already drenched in sweat.
"Chief Wang? What brings you here?" Yan Bugui saw Chief Wang at a glance. He quickly stood up and said with a smile.
"I have something to announce. Old Yan, please call Old Liu to the middle court.”
"Alright, please wait a moment." Yan Bugui replied and jogged towards the backyard.
Chief Wang stepped into the middle court and saw Yi Zhonghai chatting with the deaf old lady. He was playing with Xiao Dang in the courtyard, and Jia Dongxu was sitting on a chair with a dark face.
"Old Lady, are you enjoying the cool?" Chief Wang quickly greeted the deaf old lady.
"Little Wang, you're here?" The Deaf Old Lady said with a smile.
Chief Wang exchanged a few words with the old lady and greeted Yi Zhonghai and his wife. He then stood there and waited for Liu Haizhong to arrive.
Ye Chuan heard Chief Wang's voice from inside the room and walked out. His parents were sitting at the door fanning themselves. When they saw him coming out, they were stunned.
Chief Wang was about to speak to Ye Chuan when Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong walked over from the backyard. Xu Damao followed behind them.
"Chief Wang, you're here?" Liu Haizhong had just stepped into the courtyard when his voice rang out.
Chief Wang only nodded and did not say anything polite.
Seeing that there were already many people gathered in the middle of the courtyard, she cleared her throat and said,"Today, we won't be holding a general meeting of the entire academy. There are quite a lot of people here, so I have an announcement to make. From today onwards, Comrade Liu Haizhong will no longer be the chief steward of the academy. As for the other two stewards, Master Yi Zhonghai and Master Yan Bugui, I hope that you can continue to serve your neighbors well.”
The smile on Liu Haizhong's face immediately froze. Yi Zhonghai was also a little stunned. Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment before he was overjoyed. Was he going to become the second uncle?
"Why? Why am I not a manager anymore?”
Liu Haizhong asked. He had only been a manager for a year, so he could sit in the middle of the meeting and enjoy the feeling of being surrounded by his neighbors.
" Director Wang," Yi Zhonghai said," Old Liu is doing well. Is there some misunderstanding?"”
Liu Haizhong added," Yes, Chief Wang. If there's any problem, you can tell me. I'll change it, alright?"”
Ye Chuan took out a cigarette and lit it, a smile on his face.
"You brat, you even learned how to smoke?”Liu Yue patted her son's shoulder and whispered.
Ye Chuan was stunned. He was a little carried away just now and forgot that he was at home. He couldn't help but smile.
Chief Wang found a stool and sat down. He steadied his breathing and said,"Old Liu, you reported Master Ye Yongshun's bicycle without any evidence. The master is here to serve the neighbors, not to create conflicts! Your groundless report has caused a very bad influence on Ye Yongshun and Ye Chuan, and it has also made our work very difficult!”
"But I'm just taking precautions.”Liu Haizhong quibbled.
Ye Chuan walked up with a cigarette in his mouth and said with a cold smile,"What precautions? Are you treating our family as a class enemy? In the future, you'll have to report to the factory every time someone buys a bicycle?”
Liu Haizhong was speechless. He had indeed reported it because he was unhappy. Why did Ye Yongshun have a bicycle, but he, a Grade 6 Second Grade Engineer, didn't have one?
"Your family is so poor. How could you buy a bicycle? Is it wrong for me to raise my guard?" He continued to quibble.
"Our family is poor, so we deserve to die? Our family bought a bicycle, and now we have to be judged by the whole academy? No matter who bought a bicycle, you could report it with confidence. Even if there was no evidence, you had to be praised for your high vigilance?”
Liu Haizhong was at a loss for words, and everyone in the academy stared at him with unfriendly gazes.
"That's right! You won't let us buy bicycles?"
"I think Liu Haizhong is just jealous. He doesn't have a bicycle himself, and he doesn't allow others to have one!”
"This is too much. It's unlucky to take his position as the second uncle!”
The neighbors were all discussing, and no one spoke up for him.
Chief Wang saw that Liu Haizhong was so unpopular and thought that his decision was too correct. If he stayed as a manager for a long time, he would arouse public anger!
"It's settled then! In the future, he would leave the matters in the courtyard to Master Yi and Master Yan.”Chief Wang said.
Liu Haizhong felt a lump in his throat. He had just been angered by his eldest son, Liu Guangqi, at home. Now, his identity as the second uncle had been ruined. It was really a disaster that never came alone.
After Chief Wang dealt with this matter, a smile appeared on his face. He walked up to Ye Chuan and said,"Xiao Ye, thank you for coming to the street office to point out the shortcomings of our work.”
Liu Haizhong was so angry that his nose was crooked. It turned out that Ye Chuan had reported him to the street office. Yesterday, he thought it was a joke. He didn't expect this kid to be serious.
Yi Zhonghai and Yan Bugui also looked at Ye Chuan with complicated expressions.
"Auntie Wang, this is what we should do. We are all residents of the courtyard, and building a good courtyard is our common responsibility.”
Chief Wang nodded happily and said," I didn't expect you to have such a high awareness at such a young age. If you hadn't been too busy with your new job, I would have let you be the manager." In the future, if there's anything, you can go to the street office and tell me.”
"Alright, Auntie Wang. I'll have to trouble you in the future.”Ye Chuan nodded.
Everyone was stunned. They thought that Ye Chuan was trying to get close to Aunty Wang by calling her Aunt Wang. They did not expect Chief Wang to agree and treat this kid like a nephew.
Even Ye Yongshun and Liu Yue found it unbelievable. Since when was their son so close to Chief Wang? Why had he never heard of it?
The smile on Chief Wang's face never stopped. She walked up to Ye Chuan's parents and said,"Old Ye, Little Liu, you have a good son. He is smart, diligent, and sensible. Not bad, not bad!”
