At eight o'clock in the evening, the sky was completely dark. A first quarter moon hung high in the night sky, and the earth was hazy. ▲????????????Search??????

"Swiss, swiss, swish!"
Under the heavy darkness, two figures, one tall and one short, suddenly appeared in Banchang Hutong.
This is a pair of father and son. The taller one is the father, named Tong Xianchun, and the shorter one is the son, named Tong Zhengyu.
The purpose of their appearance here is to file a complaint against Chu Heng.
Tong Xianchun is in his forties. He was the director of the Shengli Switch Factory. In October last year, he was fired because of some things. In November, he was kicked out of the factory area and lived in the Sixth District Grain Management Bureau.
In a large courtyard within the jurisdiction.
And what he wanted to complain about stemmed from this.
In this era of planned economy, everything in people's lives is inseparable from tickets, so after Tong Xianchun changed his residence, the grain book and non-staple food book in his hand had to be replaced with new ones.
The grain purchase certificates are issued by the Comprehensive Section of the Sixth District Grain Management Office.
Generally speaking, as long as residents go to the Comprehensive Affairs Department to apply with a letter of introduction issued by the street and other procedures, a new food book will be issued in three to five days.
But Tong Xianchun has moved here for two months, but he still hasn't got the grain book. Gan Pingjiang and Fang Haijun have been temporarily withholding it in their hands on the grounds that there is a problem with his identity.
For this reason, he gave many benefits to those two people, but these two people were like gluttons who couldn't get enough to eat. No matter how much they were given, they were not satisfied and kept asking for endlessly. They simply regarded Tong Xianchun as a cash cow!
The Tong family is suffering terribly because of this.
People need to eat, but they don’t have the food budget to buy fixed-price grain, so they can only use their savings to buy high-priced grain on the black market and bring it back to eat.
After two months like this, the Tong family not only spent all their savings in order to buy food to fill their stomachs, but even borrowed some foreign debts. They were about to be desperate.
So, this afternoon, when Tong Xianchun heard that the Grain Management Office had changed its leadership, and heard from his son that the new leader was a heroic figure who hated evil as much as he hated hatred, was extremely righteous, and was known as Xiao Mengchang, he thought of coming over to complain.
It can be said that at this moment, Chu Heng is the last life-saving straw in the eyes of the Tong family. If he cannot help the Tong family, their family will have no choice but to leave the country and become a blind stream with an uncertain future.
"This is the place, Dad."
At this time, the Tong family father and son had arrived outside the Chu family courtyard.
Under the watchful eyes of several men, including the startled Mavericks, Tong Xianchun looked up at the two brand-new vermilion doors in front of him. After hesitating for a while, he finally gritted his teeth and took a step forward, knocking on the door.
door knocker.
"Dong dong dong!"
A dull knock on the door sounded in the alley and soon reached the backyard.
At this time, Chu Heng had just finished playing ball with Huniu and was sitting in the main room drinking tea and taking a rest.
After hearing the noise, he quickly stood up and said to Yang Guizhi who was about to open the door: "You can watch TV, Sister Guizhi, I'll go."
"That's okay." Yang Guizhi, who was staring at the TV intently, sat back as she was told.
Chu Heng quickly walked out of the house and went straight to the front yard.
When he opened the door and saw the unfamiliar Tong family father and son, he was obviously stunned for a moment, and asked them in confusion: "Who are you looking for?"
"Hello, comrade." Tong Xianchun's face was full of anxiety, and he hunched over and said after three breaths: "We are looking for Director Chu Hengchu."
"That's me." Chu Heng became even more confused: "What can I do for you?"
"ah?"
Tong Xianchun looked at his overly young face and couldn't help but be startled. Then he knelt down with a plop like pushing a jade pillar over a mountain of gold, and cried out: "We are here to complain, please save us."
As a family, Director Chu, we really can’t survive!”
Tong Zhengyu on the side saw his father kneeling down, and hurriedly followed him to kneel in front of the door.
"Hey! What are you doing? Get up quickly!"
Chu Heng hurriedly stepped forward and pulled the older Tong Xianchun up. He frowned and asked, "Please tell me clearly what is going on. If you do this again, I will close the door!"
Tong Xianchun was also afraid that he would be locked out of the house, so he quickly told his sons the extortion of his family by Gan Pingjiang and Fang Haijun and the current situation of his family.
once.
After hearing this, Chu Heng's face was so dark that he was almost dripping with tears. He looked at the sallow and skinny father and son again, thought for a while and said, "You guys wait here for a moment."
After saying that, he turned around and walked into the courtyard, went straight into the kitchen, came to the rice vat and opened the lid and took a look. There were many bags inside, including rice and white flour, as well as stick noodles and sorghum rice.
After looking at it for a few times, he took out one of the bags of stick noodles weighing thirty kilograms. Then he went to the cupboard again, took out two kilograms of noodles and stuffed them into the bag, and then took it from the beam.
After taking the next piece of bacon, he turned around and walked out of the kitchen and back to the door.
"Take this, go back and deal with it first." Chu Heng put the heavy grain bag into the hands of Tong Xianchun who was standing uneasily outside the door, and said with a solemn promise: "I promise you, I will deal with your matters as soon as possible.
Check it out, and if it’s confirmed, your family’s grain book will be sent there at the latest tomorrow afternoon, and some compensation will be made!”
Holding the grain bag, the father and son were immediately overjoyed and were about to kneel down again. Chu Heng quickly stopped him and comforted him for a few more words before sending him away.
Gate.
Looking at the Tong family father and son who were leaving gratefully, Chu Heng exhaled forcefully, turned his head and waved to the heads of several people who were watching the fun outside the wall: "Come here!"
"well!"
Mavericks' response immediately sounded from the opposite side, and then several people quickly retracted into the wall. After a while, Mavericks led people and ran out of the courtyard, stood respectfully in front of Chu Heng, and said: "Master Chu, you
Order."
"You heard what happened just now. Go and notify Du San immediately. I want him to investigate this matter for me before tomorrow morning." Chu Heng ordered with a cold face.
"clear!"
The calf immediately took the order and left.
Chu Heng watched several people ride away, then turned back to the courtyard.
After passing through the moon gate and returning to the backyard, he glanced at the brightly lit main room and did not go in. Instead, he turned and entered his bedroom.
He came to the bed and sat down, lit a cigarette and smoked it, his face uncertain.
Not long passed.
Chu Heng suddenly noticed a pair of trousers hanging on the bedside. These trousers belonged to him, and there was a big hole in the crook of his leg.
He stared blankly at the opening for a moment, then suddenly reached out to take the trousers, took out the sewing box, and after skillfully threading the needle and thread, he concentrated on mending the opening.
No matter how bad the pants are, they are still his pants. How embarrassing would it be to wear them like this?
Since you have the ability now, why not repair it!
He originally wanted to be alone, but at this moment he made an important decision.
