The eldest of the Yan family in the Siheyuan

Chapter 29 Another General Assembly

"Heh! I said, why is this uncle so active? This is to save face!" Yan Xiecheng said with a smile
"I heard from your uncle that in our yard, almost all the workers working in your factory have been promoted to a higher level?"

"Yeah, except for the second uncle, almost everyone has been promoted to a higher level. Could it be that the first uncle wants these promoted workers to raise funds to invite people in the compound to eat." This is very suitable for the first uncle's character.

Yan Fugui thought for a while, "It's possible. If he was allowed to go out alone, he would definitely be reluctant. There are 50 people in our courtyard, and they all come to eat. There is no [-] yuan that can't be paid, which is more than half a month's salary for him. "

At Shazhu's house in the middle courtyard, the uncle opened the door and came in. "Silly Zhu, remember to come out to the meeting after dinner, don't drink, I have something to talk about later."

"What's the matter? I've taken out all the wine." Silly Zhu said with a dissatisfied face.

"Didn't many people in our compound get a one-level salary increase this time? I thought, this is a good thing, let's celebrate together." The old man said with a blushing face.

"Grandpa, do you want to treat guests to dinner? Don't worry about your grandeur. I'll take care of it for you. I'll definitely arrange it and make sure you have a good face." Silly Zhu said with a smile.

The uncle's head was full of black lines, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I say I'm going to treat you?"

Silly Zhu rubbed his head: "Didn't you just say celebrate? You can't eat to celebrate!"

"I didn't say I'm just inviting myself! What I want is to have a meeting to discuss it later, let all the promoted workers pay together, and invite the neighbors in the compound to have a meal together. After all, it is a treat for everyone. happy event."

"Master, I have no money! You know, I still owe you a lot of money." Silly Zhu patted his pocket and said.

"I'll help you out, you don't have to pay it back, as long as you agree." Seeing that the foolish Zhu looked like he really couldn't afford the money, the elder said.

"It's fine if you don't pay. I really have no money. If I didn't work in the kitchen, I would be starving to death." Sha Zhu said helplessly.

"You don't have any money, why don't you say, wait a minute, I'll ask your aunt to send you ten yuan, you spend it first, don't worry about paying me back."

The uncle didn't care. For him, who was about to get the eighth grade salary, it was a small amount of money.

"Then I thank you. Sister Qin borrowed money from me just now. She said that her family doesn't have enough money. I don't have any money. If I have money, I will lend her."

Silly Zhu wanted the uncle to think of a way for Qin Huairu, or to lend money to her family. Seeing Qin Huairu's mournful face, he felt uncomfortable.

"Okay, I'll find a way. Leave her alone, take care of yourself first, and see how your family is doing."

After finishing speaking, the uncle came to Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard again.

"His second uncle, come to the middle courtyard for a meeting after dinner."

"What kind of meeting? Shazhu is stealing again?" The second uncle said deliberately.

"Don't talk nonsense, what are you stealing? Aren't all the workers in our factory who work in the factory have raised their wages by one level? I want to discuss how to celebrate."

"Isn't it just a few dollars more in salary? There is nothing to celebrate."

The second uncle is so angry that I failed the assessment, and you still have to celebrate. Isn't this against me on purpose? When I become an official, I will make you look good one by one.

"It's just a few dollars more, how can this be considered a happy event in the compound?"

"Okay, okay, I can't go."

"Then I'm going back, remember to come as soon as possible after eating," he said and left.

The second aunt looked at the back of the elder brother leaving: "I think Yi Zhonghai is here to annoy you on purpose."

"You think I don't know. I don't care about him. When I become an official, you see how I will punish him. I really think that I will ascend to heaven when I become an eighth-level fitter." After finishing speaking, he threw his chopsticks.

Guangfu Guangtian hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of offending Liu Haizhong and receiving a violent beating.

At Qin Huairu's house in the middle courtyard, Mrs. Jia Zhang was eating the dishes brought back by Shazhu with white flour steamed buns in his hand. "Huairu, you said that the uncle has been promoted to an eighth-level worker, so he will get a hundred yuan a month?"

Qin Huairu replied while eating the cornbread and drinking porridge: "Isn't it? The salary of the eighth grade is 110 yuan a month, which is more than my half-year salary."

"This is a good thing! This fool and the uncle have all raised their salaries. If you support us a little in the future, it will be enough for us to eat and drink."

"Don't think about it, silly Zhu helped our family, I believe that this uncle gave our family money that time, at most he gave some stick noodles." Facing Jia Zhang's greed, he was speechless for a while.

Jia Zhang: "Is the big man holding a meeting this time to invite the people in the yard to dinner? Yes, he should invite him. He is the only eighth-level worker in our entire street. This is worth celebrating."

"You, think too much, the uncle is not stupid, he can spend so much money on treats."

Or the widow is the smartest, Qin Huairu understands this better than anyone else.She didn't even think about it, the uncle is not a fool, the uncle knows better than anyone else that the Jia family is not short of money, so he always gives some stick noodles and earns some favors. what to do.

After dinner, people came to the Metropolitan Courtyard, and the uncle stood up: "This meeting is a happy event. The wages of the workers who work in the rolling mill in our courtyard have been raised by one level, and Yan Jiecheng has been raised by two levels. Thinking of such a big happy event, we have to celebrate. The last time we had dinner together was the marriage of Guangqi from the second uncle’s family last year. It’s been several months. Why should we all have dinner together this time? , everyone said it was okay."

Silly Zhu saw the old man looking at him, stood up quickly and said: "I think it's okay, all of us who have raised wages, each contribute some money to join together, invite people in the compound to have a meal, and celebrate together. "

There are those below who applaud and those who don't speak up. All those who don't need to pay applause, and those who pay for it don't speak.It hurts to say you agree, and it hurts to say you don't agree, so you won't let everyone say you are stingy behind your back.

The uncle looked at the ones who paid the money, and he didn't speak except Shazhu.

Uncle, "Xie Cheng, this time you have raised your salary by two grades, tell me, do you want everyone to celebrate?"

"Grandpa, your current salary is 110 yuan a month. It's not a big deal for you to treat guests to dinner, but the big guys are living with their families, so they definitely can't afford it." Yan Xiecheng is fine. Said not slowly.

The uncle frowned, "Then what do you say, don't celebrate?"

"There is really a way. The uncle directly pays 50 yuan to treat everyone to a meal. For you, this is less than half a month's salary, so it must be no problem."

Silly Zhu: "This matter is the big guy's business, there is no reason for the big guy to do it himself."
