Chapter 631 The first day of the first lunar month

Early in the morning on the fourth day of the first lunar month, residents of Nanluoguxiang who woke up early were surprised to find that the two dilapidated courtyards next to Courtyard No. 98 were now surrounded by reed mats four or five meters high. Faint noises could be heard from inside, as if the old houses were being demolished.

Although they were somewhat curious, no one came forward to take a look. Everyone felt that the scene before them was somewhat familiar. Yes, when the construction of Courtyard No. 98 started last autumn, wasn’t the situation similar to what was happening before them?

If it were somewhere else, some people might have come over to see what was going on, but when they thought about the identity of the owner of No. 98, they calmed down their curiosity.

Who doesn't know the identity of the owner of Courtyard No. 98? He is Lin Yu, the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau and the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill, a real big leader.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, residents nearby could see clearly that jeeps kept parking in the bluestone parking lot in front of Courtyard No. 98. People who were obviously leading cadres walked into the courtyard one after another. Finally, there was no room left in the parking lot in front of the gate, and the few jeeps that came later had to park on the side of the road.

Some workers who work at the Red Star Steel Mill have recognized that almost all the leaders of the steel mill were among the people who came to Courtyard No. 98 to pay New Year's greetings. Some people had originally argued about whether the secretary and director of the Red Star Steel Mill had a higher rank, or the deputy secretary and deputy director of the Municipal Bureau and the secretary of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Mill. Until now, some people were speechless. After all, on New Year's Day, only subordinates would pay New Year's greetings to leaders, and no one had ever heard of leaders visiting their subordinates' homes to pay New Year's greetings. Of course, the Spring Festival condolences from leading cadres do not count.

To say that he didn't want to have a good relationship with No. 98 was pure lies. You should know that besides Secretary Lin, the person living here now also included his mother Zhou Xiu, the secretary of Jiaodaokou Sub-district Office and a female leader at the division level.

Secretary Lin's sister, brother-in-law, and a young woman with a little boy also live in courtyard No. 98. I heard He Yuzhu who lives in courtyard No. 95 show off to others that Secretary Lin's brother-in-law is Sun Yong, assistant secretary of the Security Department of Red Star Steel Mill and a deputy director-level official. His sister is Lin Nan, deputy director of the Dongcheng District Government Office and a deputy director-level official. The young woman is Huang Ying, the second wife of Secretary Lin's father who just died. She works in the Security Department of Red Star Steel Mill and is a deputy section-level official. The little boy is Lin Zhou, Secretary Lin's half-brother.

According to He Yuzhu, Secretary Lin's father was a deputy district chief in Tianjin. After encountering enemy spies, he killed two of them and was unfortunately shot and killed. Secretary Lin rushed to Tianjin to take care of his father's funeral, and then took the orphan and widowed mother to Beijing to take care of them.

After all, China has a history of thousands of years of official-centered thinking, and the common people almost instinctively have a fear of officials. Although some people want to have a good relationship with No. 98, it is a pity that his family is picked up and dropped off by car every day, and there are always two jeeps parked at the gate.

The only people in the neighborhood who can occasionally come to Courtyard No. 98 are He Daqing and his son who live in Courtyard No. 95. They occasionally go to Courtyard No. 98 to cook.

If I say I'm not envious, I'd be lying. Every time He Daqing and his son finished cooking for No. 95, they would bring home a bunch of goodies in big and small bags. Especially the big food boxes they brought home, you could smell the fragrance of the food if you got closer.

Unfortunately, everyone could only envy him. After all, He Daqing's cooking skills were second to none in Nanluoguxiang, and he was also well-known in the entire Sijiucheng Qinxing. Moreover, He Daqing now relied on Secretary Lin and was now the canteen director of the Security Department of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill and a deputy section-level cadre. According to He Yuzhu's boasting, after his father joined the organization this year, he would be promoted to the section-level.

Now that construction has begun next to Courtyard No. 98, some people have begun to speculate that who knows which senior leader will move in here in the future. For residents living near Nanluoguxiang, of course they hope that as many senior officials as possible will move in here. Who knows one day they might be like He Daqing, and catch the eye of a senior leader. Even if they can't become successful, at least they can get a position and live a good life with their family.

Moreover, after Secretary Lin moved into Nanluoguxiang, even the public security personnel from the Jiaodaokou Police Station and the security patrols from the street office have stepped up their inspections here. In the past, one could occasionally see a few hoodlums wandering around the streets, but now they have disappeared. Even those three-handed Buddhists are now hiding in Nanluoguxiang. Others may not have experienced it personally, but the residents living here have truly felt these changes.

This morning, Lin Yu personally drove to the family courtyard of the Dongcheng District Post and Telecommunications Bureau to pick up Su Yu for work, but behind the jeep driven by Lin Yu, Zhou Hong and two high-level puppets followed closely in their cars.

Since he had already planned to let the bodyguard beside him appear in public, Lin Yu no longer concealed it. Currently, the two courtyard houses next to him had not been built yet. After Zhou Hong and his party escorted Lin Yu and his party home every day, they would drive away directly, find a place where no one was around, and then return to the paradise.

Although with the magical powers of his bodyguards, they can easily build two well-decorated courtyard houses, but in order to hide their tracks, they can only surround them completely and deliberately make some noise. However, before his wedding, the two courtyard houses must be completely completed, and then these bodyguards can live here legitimately.

Seeing Lin Yu's familiar figure getting out of the jeep, Su Yu's delicate face flushed. However, since the two of them had already obtained a marriage certificate, she got into the jeep with ease after Lin Yu opened the door for her. Under the envious gaze of the surrounding residents, the jeep started slowly and sped towards the direction of the Red Star Steel Rolling Mill.

When Lin Yu and Su Yu walked into the office, Sun Yong had already lit the stove and was cleaning. Although the office had not been cleaned for only three days, a thin layer of dust had already fallen in the office.

Su Yu quickly picked up the rag and started working quickly. Lin Yu couldn't just sit there idle either, so he had to wash the tea set on the coffee table himself.

The three of them worked together and quickly cleaned up the office. After making tea for Lin Yu, Su Yu and Sun Yong went back to clean their own offices.
