Chapter 250 Neighbors’ Attitude
As soon as he entered the door, he saw He Yushui sitting on the kang with tears in her eyes, struggling with her clothes.

Seeing this situation, He Yuzhu quickly asked,

"What's wrong with Yu Shui? Why are you getting up? Why are you crying?"

Seeing her brother, He Yushui immediately burst into laughter and blew bubbles from her little nose.
Then he grumbled in a low voice,
"Brother, I heard gunshots outside and knew you must be beating up the bad guys again. Then dad and the others came over, so I wanted to come out and see.

But when I got anxious, I couldn't put on my clothes, and the more anxious I got, the harder it was to put them on, so I started crying.

But I didn’t dare cry out loud, for fear of disturbing my brother from beating up the bad guys.”

Seeing that He Yushui was like this because she was worried about him, He Yuzhu was quite moved, knowing that his concern for his sister was not in vain.
Then he touched He Yushui's forehead and saw that it was nothing serious, so he helped her put on her clothes.
"First get up and drink some hot water, then wash your face and feet to drive away the cold, and then go to sleep."

"Yeah, you too, brother."

After helping He Yushui put on clothes, He Yuzhu kept repeating to himself, "Don't catch a cold, otherwise it will be a real problem."
He took two bowls from the cupboard, took the washbasin and towel, and picked up the kettle on the stove to pour water.

The brother and sister cleaned up the mess.
Then he filled the kettle with water and kept it warm before lying back down on the kang.

Then I heard He Yushui hugging her arms and whispering,
"Brother, did you beat the bad guys away?"

After tucking the quilt for his sister, He Yuzhu spoke,
"He ran away. My brother is so powerful, how could he not run away the bad guys? Tell me, is it the rain?"

He Yushui nodded heavily and bumped into He Yuzhu's arm.
"Yeah, my brother is the best. He's not afraid of anyone."

Feeling the force coming from my arm,
"After the rain, go to sleep,

Don’t sit on the bed alone like this anymore. You’ll catch a cold easily and your brother will be worried.”

"it is good."

The next morning, He Yuzhu opened his eyes and touched He Yushui's head. He heaved a sigh of relief when he found that nothing was wrong.

Then he climbed up from the kang.

After getting dressed, he walked out of the house and came to the yard. He looked at the snowflakes floating down from the sky. He was about to go to the middle yard.

Then I heard a noisy sound coming from outside the door.

He Yuzhu thought something had happened, so he went outside to take a look.
Then I found that it was not just He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai, the neighbors of the courtyard, who were standing at the entrance of the alley with dark circles under their eyes, observing the traces of last night.
Even the neighbors in Maoer Hutong were yawning and loudly discussing what happened last night at the entrance of the alley.

Just as he was about to go back to the courtyard to make breakfast, he heard the sharp-eyed Xu Damao calling him.
"Zhu Zi, come here quickly, come and take a look."

When they heard Xu Damao calling He Yuzhu, the neighbors who were talking happily just now all turned their heads to look over, and then smiled and greeted him.
"Wow, the pillar is up.
Zhuzi, you were so impressive last night.

With guns and grenades, they killed several spies in one go.
Look, the ground is covered in blood, and there are two big holes on the ground."

"It is said that Zhuzi is an active member of the branch.

We were scared to death last night when we thought about the gun all night long. It was only because Zhuzi dared to come out and fight these spies that he made such a great contribution.

By the way, Zhuzi, will the higher-ups give you a certificate of honor this time?"...

Seeing these neighbors whose attitudes had become so much nicer and were almost completely different from before, He Yuzhu was a little uncomfortable for a while.

But then he reacted.
These neighbors were nice to me before, just because I worked at the police station.
Even if they knew that they had killed Han Qingkui's gangsters before,

Because I want to keep Sun Tie's secret,
That was after Zheng Qiang was arrested and taken to the police station. More than half a year has passed and the deterrent effect is not enough.

It's nothing like now.
The gunfire that went off all night yesterday scared them so much that they didn't dare to go out at all.

When I came out this morning, I saw bullet holes all over the wall at the entrance of the alley, and dark red bloodstains on the ground, which stood out in the snow.

In addition, He Daqing and Yi Zhonghai exaggerated what happened last night.

It's no wonder that these neighbors have this attitude towards me.

Then, He Yuzhu smiled and walked towards the neighbors who were talking and greeting him.

"Certificate of honor? What certificate?
Last night, about 100 to 200 secret agents went to the Chaoyangmen warehouse and burned supplies.
Most of the spies were killed by comrades in the patrol team. I just took advantage of them yesterday. How could the higher-ups give me a certificate of commendation?
You guys are thinking too much."

After He Yuzhu finished speaking, someone said with a smile,
"It's hard to say, Zhuzi. There were so many gunshots last night. It's great that you stood out at the critical moment. If it were us, we wouldn't dare to come out.

If the superiors think you have made great contributions, they might give you a certificate of honor.
Even if you are not given a chance to work, you should not be modest.

You are much more capable than us."

"Yes, if you keep killing people like this, sooner or later all our spies in Peking will be killed by you."

I heard them talk about this.

Thinking that since the Double Tenth Directive was issued, the people have not been very interested in reporting and exposing, He Yuzhu said,

"Dear uncles and aunts, catching spies is not just my job.
All of us in Nanluoguxiang should contribute our efforts so that we can find and eliminate all the spies and bullies as soon as possible."

From what He Yuzhu said, it seemed that they were asked to actively respond to the call of the Beiping Military Control Commission and to actively stand up and expose those hidden spies and gangsters.
The neighbors who were discussing the issue lively just now suddenly shut up.

After a while, someone said,
"Zhu Zi, do you know how the battle is going on the front line now? Did our volunteer army destroy the joint forces? Did the bald man send troops to join the battle?"

Hearing the neighbors answer questions that are not asked,

He Yuzhu knew that it would be impossible to get the people in the city to cooperate with the Public Security Bureau in arresting the spies and bullies lurking in the city in a short period of time.
To push things forward,

At least we had to wait until the victory of the third battle in January 1951.
The Volunteer Army drove the joint forces south of the 38th parallel and completely stabilized the situation.
Or it would be possible only after the Five-Star Big Pipe was dismissed in April 1951, completely cutting off Baldy's hope of returning to the mainland.

before this,

No matter how much propaganda work the State Council does, it cannot be as reassuring as a real victory on the battlefield.
