Scholars in the courtyard.

Under the night, in the cold wind, the adults in the courtyard gathered in the middle courtyard, looking for places to hide from the cold wind, only three uncles, holding on to the last stubbornness, sat in the center of the courtyard, huddled together.

There was still the same table in front of him, but after the past few years, the marks on the table became more and more serious, and the slats on the tabletop were cracked.

The three uncles sat on one side of each other, and on the table in the middle was a red box measuring one foot square, with three characters written on it, "Loving Box", which seemed to be made by Yan Fugui.

Everyone waited for a while, the second uncle Liu Haizhong looked around, counted them carefully, and then stood up.

"Ahem! Are you all here?"

"Except for the old lady, only Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiaoe didn't come."

Silly Zhu sat next to Qin Huairu, speaking with anger.

Yang Xiaotao is really inappropriate to get out of here.

Liu Haizhong said, everyone knows what happened to Yang Xiaotao, but Lou Xiaoe?
"Lou Xiao'e never came back!"

Someone said something, but Liu Haizhong couldn't help it, it's just that there are two rich locals missing, how much money can these people get?

Jiazhang's hair has become gray, and his face has lost the arrogance of the past. Without his son, he can't straighten up in this courtyard.

Without a son, their family is old and young, and there is still one in their stomach, and they may have to take care of a semi-disabled one in the future. How will they live in the future.

Jia Zhang's eyes were empty, and it wasn't until he heard that Yang Xiaotao didn't come that his heart fluctuated.

It was the fluctuation of anger, jealousy and fear, and his face was instantly ferocious.

Qin Huairu hugged Xiaodang the stick, with a dull and desolate expression.

The two children are also too quiet.

Today they went to see their father who hadn't come home. Looking at the person lying on the hospital bed, the two children cried in fright.

The bigger stick is even more clear, from now on, his father can't hug him anymore.

Qin Huairu tightened his grip on the trembling child. Hearing the discussions around him, Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiaoe didn't come, and the goal he expected in his heart was halved in an instant.

The entire courtyard house left the Chen family, and then separated from Yan Jiecheng. There are still 22 households, but most of them are similar to the Jia family, and they don't have much money.

But there are also many rich people, and the polarization in this courtyard is very obvious.

But now, the two richest people didn't come.

Not to mention the deaf old lady in the backyard.

Ugh!
Sighing in his heart, Qin Huairu became more aware that the only ones who could help them in the future would be the Grandpa's family.

However, they are very clear about what the uncle is planning. Now that Jia Dongxu is dying, how can anyone provide for the uncle and the others?
Is it possible to count on sticks?

If he doesn't care about them, then they are orphans and widows, and there is really no way out.

Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai in front of him, thinking about it.Then he glanced at the silly pillar beside him.

This person is also good.

Liu Haizhong glanced at Yi Zhonghai. This guy seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, so he must have cursed in his heart.

Uh-huh…

Liu Haizhong cleared his throat, "Everyone, let me tell you the theme of our meeting today."

"In the past two days or so, Jia Dongxu in our hospital had an accident. After being treated in the hospital, he is still in a critical period. So, in line with the principle of mutual support when one party is in trouble, the three of us love each other and help each other. After discussing it, the uncle decided to carry forward the style and organize everyone to donate to love..."

Liu Haizhong said that he didn't stop talking until the people around got impatient, "Next, let the third master mobilize everyone."

Sit down after talking.

Yan Fugui didn't even stand up, but just sat there, "Everyone understands, so I won't say much."

"In a word, do good to others and do good to yourself. Although the blessing has not come, the disaster is far away!"

"Everyone has a steelyard in his heart, and he knows how much his conscience is."

After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he finally looked at Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai nodded, stood up, and looked around.

"Men and young men, we have a big courtyard, at least we have a friendship of more than ten years."

"In these years, no matter what happens in the courtyard, there is no difficulty for anyone. If you can help, please help. Don't grow old in the end, and there is no one to help."

"Don't make it difficult for future generations!"

After speaking, the people around were obviously moved.

These days, especially the people in the countryside, they attach great importance to funeral affairs.

When some people get old, when the younger generations make funeral arrangements, they can see what kind of person they were in life.

If a lot of people come forward to help, the scene is lively, and the later generations can do things easily, which means that this person was a good person in life.

If there are only a few members of the family working, the scene is deserted, and there is no one to help, it is estimated that even future generations will feel embarrassed.

This is the case in the countryside, and the city is not immune to vulgarity.

At that time, if there is no one to send a gift, it will be a big shame.

Seeing that everyone listened, Yi Zhonghai looked at the Jia family, and happened to meet Qin Huairu's eyes, and the two knew each other.

Qin Huairu got up slowly holding the stick, with a sad face, kneeling on the ground with her legs bent.

"To grandpa and aunt, brothers and sisters!"

"This disaster happened to my family. I didn't want to hurt everyone, let alone be the villain who withheld money."

Qin Huairu's voice was low and low, and Jia Zhangshi who was on the side also wiped his eyes when he heard it.

Silly Zhu saw Qin Huairu and went to pull Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, get up quickly, how can you stand the cold on the ground with your body?"

Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu did not agree at all.

"But Dongxu is right there, waiting to use the money for the surgery. I, our family is selling everything, and I want to let him live!"

"He hasn't seen an unborn child yet!"

"Please everyone, help us!"

As he said that, tears flowed down, Sha Zhu felt sour in his heart, and many girls, big and small, bowed their heads and couldn't bear it.

"Three uncles, folks, I am on behalf of the family, thank you!"

After finishing speaking, he stretched out his hand and bowed his head, and bowed to the three uncles in front of him.

Qin Huairu's worship was beyond everyone's expectations.

Yan Fugui groaned when he saw it, and quickly got up to avoid it.

Liu Haizhong's reaction was a bit slow, and he received a salute, but Yi Zhonghai sat there with peace of mind, neither dodging nor evading.

"Thank you all!"

Qin Huairu moved her legs and was about to buckle again, but the first mother hurried over to pull her up, and the silly pillar on the other side also helped her, so she didn't continue.

Seeing that Qin Huairu aroused everyone's sympathy, Jia Zhang took the opportunity to say, "God, why don't you open your eyes!"

"My poor Dongxu, he's still lying in bed and can't get up, woohoo, how can we get 200 yuan..."

"My son, who has left us orphans and widows, who will support us!"

Jiazhang cried and howled, making people panic in this cold night.

"That's it."

Yi Zhonghai didn't ask Jia Zhang to say more, and immediately took out a cloth bag from his arms, "As the uncle, I will take the lead."

"This is 50 yuan."

With that said, throw it into the box.

When the people around heard this, they gasped.

"My lord, be proud."

Sha Zhu shouted loudly and was the first to applaud.

Bang bang bang bang
People around applauded one after another.

Regardless of whether it was out of selfishness or morality, everyone admired Yi Zhonghai for taking out 50 yuan at this time.

After hearing this, Qin Huairu wiped away some tears, bowed and shouted.

"Thank you, Grandpa."

"This kindness, our family, must remember."

Yi Zhonghai waved his hands and sat down, put his hands in his sleeves, and said nothing.

Afterwards, everyone looked at Liu Haizhong.

"Ahem, Jia Dongxu is in urgent need of money for surgery, hospitalization, and medical expenses."

"But let's donate, I still say that, do what you can, do what you can."

Qin Huairu looked calm down there, and Jia Zhang almost stood up and cursed after hearing this.

But the faces of the people around him changed when they heard this, and they all felt that the second uncle had finally spoken something human.

Liu Haizhong didn't look at Qin Huairu, although Jia Dongxu was pitiful, but a poor person must have something to hate.

At the beginning, I followed him to make heating stoves, and only then did a bunch of things follow.

Today's donation, if it weren't for being the second uncle, he would think it was too much for a dollar.

"I donate twenty!"

Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and said, and then stuffed them one by one into the box.

Jia Zhang still wanted to start cursing, but when Liu Haizhong said twenty, she stopped again.

Then, there was another burst of applause.

And the applause was even louder than just now,

Then, without hesitation, the third master Yan Fugui took out a pile of money from his trousers pocket. It looked like a lot, but it was all ten cents, "I will donate two yuan."

After speaking, put it in in a decent way.

People around are even more happy.

Jia Zhang's eyeballs were about to protrude, and Qin Huairu's heart was even colder.

The uncle made a good start, but was ruined by two old men.

Sure enough, the one who can really rely on in this courtyard has to be the uncle.

The others breathed a sigh of relief. They thought Yang Xiaotao would be such a mess without Yang Xiaotao, but now he would bleed profusely.

But I forgot that there are three masters.

"Third Master, you will only give me two yuan, that's not proper."

Silly Zhu got up and yelled, but there was nothing he could do.

After all, the situation of the third uncle's family is like that, and it has always been like this when donating money in the past, and the frequency is too many, so I don't bother to say more.

Silly Zhu got up and looked at the people around him, "Jia Ge is usually in this courtyard. He doesn't look up and look down. A living person suffers from this crime. Don't say we all know each other, but we don't know each other. When we meet this If we have the ability, we have to help, right?"

As he spoke, he walked to the box, "I don't earn much, so I donate twenty."

"But Sister Qin, if you need help in the future, please let me know, and I, silly Zhu, will definitely help."

After Silly Zhu finished speaking, Qin Huairu stood up immediately, "Thank you brother Zhuzi."

"Don't be polite, don't be polite."

Saying that, Shazhu looked at the crowd with a proud look.

Unbeknownst to him, behind him, his nose was crooked in his bangs and his eyes were staring.

He, the second uncle, only donated [-]. Why do you come out as a cook to grab the limelight, and you don't earn much?

A muddleheaded person with no winks.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, the others didn't care about this guy, they all knew that this guy was not good at thinking, and each family had their own plans.

So, the remaining ten or so families put them into the box one by one, and the silly Zhu who watched them winked and stared, feeling panicked, wishing that each of them could take more.

In the end, everyone donated, and Sha Zhu glanced over, "Yan Jiecheng, what about you. You're the only one left!"

Yan Jiecheng was taken aback, "Silly Zhu, my father~"

"What about your father, you are already married, and you still have to eat your money."

"I~"

"Me and me, you are married, hurry up!"

Yan Jiecheng looked around, but no one spoke for him, even his father Yan Fugui avoided looking.

Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to see Yu Li next to her, so she could only take out fifty cents from her pocket, walked up to Shazhu, and stuffed it into the box with a cold snort, "That's fine."

"mean!"

Shazhu babbled, but didn't say any more.

Finally, the crowd dispersed, and Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong came to Jia's house with a box.

In front of Qin Huairu, the three of Yi Zhonghai began to count the funds raised.

In the end, Yan Fugui recorded clearly, "A total of 106 yuan and 5 cents."

A stack of money was placed on the table, Liu Haizhong felt that there was no problem, so he left the room.

Yan Fugui followed behind, and finally Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu were left.

"Bah! A group of cheapskates, with so many people, they can't even make up 20 yuan. Really, they have no conscience."

"The man surnamed Wang and a few workers from the workshop, how much money he earned with Yang Xiaotao, this time he gave him only one yuan. Really, he is more picky than the third master!"

Silly Zhu didn't hide it, his voice was not low, and Yan Fugui, who had just left the house, tightened his collar again.

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Qin Huairu with a sad look on his face.

Thinking about the salary just paid, he gritted his teeth, "Sister Qin, I, I still have ten yuan, you can use it first."

"Zhuzi, you gave us all the salary you just paid, and it's only the beginning of the month..."

As Qin Huairu said, he stretched out his hand to push, and Jia Zhang behind him frowned, glancing back and forth at Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu.

In my heart, there was a worry.

"It's okay, Sister Qin. It's the Chinese New Year soon. I'll earn money after I go out to pick up two jobs."

Silly Zhu was cheerful, and Yi Zhonghai squinted his eyes, "Huairu, Zhuzi is full and the whole family is not hungry. You can use it first, and then return it when you have it!"

Qin Huairu listened, and Jia Zhang behind him pushed it down with his hand, and stretched out his hand to take it.

"Then, I will pay you back when I have it!"

Hehe
"tell you later."

Sha Zhu smirked, and Jia Zhang became more vigilant.
