Master Ma let out a long breath and continued, "Later, we found that people in other courtyards and slums nearby had been assigned jobs by the street office, so some people went to the street office to inquire about the situation. The clerk told us that it was because of Yi Zhonghai and the other three managers that even the street office refused to assign jobs to the young people of No. 95 courtyard who were of working age. All the residents who had the means tried their best to move out of No. 95 courtyard, but what should we do? Your street office did not deal with the three managers who made mistakes, but let us innocent people suffer this unprovoked disaster. This is really a bit unreasonable, isn't it? Moreover, because Yi Zhonghai and Qin Huairu were having an affair, even my father and I are not assigned work to carry heavy bags at the grain station. Director Wang, our family really can't survive anymore. Please find another place for us to live. If this continues, our family of four will have to beg on the street." After saying this, Old Ma couldn't hold back his tears.

The scene suddenly fell into deathly silence.

He Daqing sighed: "Lao Ma, your family is in such a difficult situation, why don't you come to me? After all, I am the canteen director, and I can still find a temporary worker for your family."

Master Ma sighed, "Daqing, as long as our family can survive, we don't want to cause you any trouble. There are so many unemployed children in our courtyard, how can you help them? I can't let you offend a lot of people just to help our family."

Director Wang looked at the four clerks behind him with a sullen expression and asked in a cold voice, "Is what Master Ma said true?"

A clerk said helplessly: "Director Wang, what Master Ma said is basically true. At that time, Deputy Director Xu wanted to deal with the three managers of No. 95 Siheyuan seriously, but Director Tang directly stopped him. The two had a big quarrel because of this. It happened that the main leader of the machinery factory called and proposed that the machinery factory would never want a resident of No. 95 Siheyuan in the future. If the street office continued to arrange it, then there would be no more job quotas for Jiaodaokou Street Office in the future. In fact, many of our comrades hoped that the three managers of No. 95 Siheyuan could be dealt with seriously. Captain Fan was a combat hero who had just been transferred from the battlefield of the Northern Dynasty due to injuries. The three managers of No. 95 Siheyuan actually treated the combat heroes who made contributions to the country in this way. They should definitely be transferred to the police station for handling and their work units should be notified. However, due to Director Tang's obstruction, in the end, they only criticized them a few times. Everyone was very dissatisfied, so in the allocation of job quotas later, No. 95 Siheyuan was deliberately bypassed."

After hearing this, Director Wang did not continue to criticize the clerk of the street office. She could also understand the feelings of these comrades. Since you in the courtyard of No. 95 elected such a person as the manager, and more than half of the residents signed and stamped their fingerprints on the application form, it was your own fault. If the residents could stick to the principles, even three managers would not be able to come up with such an application.

Director Wang looked at Secretary Zhou. Zhou Xiu stood up and said in a serious tone: "Comrades residents of No. 95 Siheyuan, I personally think that there are problems with the street office for what happened before, but have you ever thought about whether those residents who signed and stamped their fingerprints on the application are responsible? It is puzzling that more than half of the residents agreed to drive away a combat hero who had just moved to No. 95 Siheyuan. Comrades, you must have conscience and your own bottom line when doing things, and you must never follow the crowd. Now the former director Tang of Jiaodaokou Street Office who sheltered Yi Zhonghai and the other two has been shot, and Yi Zhonghai and the other two have been sentenced to prison for labor reform. It is unlikely that they will be held accountable. From now on, our street office will be in the name of work. Try to focus on the No. 95 courtyard house in the allocation of quotas. Master Ma will ask your son to follow Director He to the canteen of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill Security Department Training Base to report directly tomorrow and solve the living problems at home first. I also heard the speeches of several residents just now. The general content is about the Jia family's problems. Let's do this. Now our street office staff will give each household a note with only two choices. One is to agree that the Jia family will continue to stay in the No. 95 courtyard house, and the other is to disagree. You take the note home and make a choice on it. Everyone should not talk to each other. Draw a circle on your choice. Our staff will collect the notes from each household, and the police station director Han and instructor Qu will supervise on the spot and directly announce the results. What do you think?"

Except for Jia Dongxu and Qin Huairu who looked pale, all the other residents present shouted in agreement. Secretary Zhou's method also avoided being hated by others. After all, everyone just drew a circle on the piece of paper, and no one knew their own choice.

So Zhou Xiu looked at a clerk in the street office who was holding a notebook. The clerk immediately understood what he meant. After asking He Daqing about the specific number of residents in the courtyard, he immediately tore off a few pieces of paper from the notebook, folded it in half, tore it open, took out his pen, sat down at the square table, and according to what Secretary Zhou had just said, wrote the five words "agree" and "disagree" on each piece of paper.

Zhou Xiu picked up a piece of paper and said loudly to the residents at the scene: "Everyone listen carefully. There are only five words on the paper now, writing "Agree" and "Disagree". When you take the paper home later, if you agree that the Jia family will continue to live in the No. 95 courtyard, then circle the two words "Agree". If you disagree, then circle the three words "Disagree". Did everyone hear clearly?"

Everyone answered in unison: "I heard it clearly."

Zhou Xiu motioned for Director Wang to continue, and Director Wang said loudly: "Now, each household should send a representative to take a piece of paper home and draw a circle. Our street office staff will come to collect it in a while. The others should wait here for a while. Director He, you three uncles in charge, please call out the names one by one and ask the resident representatives to come up and collect the paper."

He Daqing, Fang Dahu and Li Botao did not hesitate and immediately started calling out the names of the residents one by one from the front yard. Then a representative of the residents took a note from the clerk and walked directly to the front yard. A clerk from the street office also followed them to the front yard.

Soon, the residents of the three courtyards all received the notes and returned home. The deaf old lady in the backyard asked He Yuzhu to be her representative and took the note back to the backyard. The old lady happily sat at the door of the He family, hugging Xiao Yushui.
