Siheyuan starts to eat the old man

Chapter 203 Chapter 203
Seeing that Xu Damao was silent, Yi Zhonghai nodded to Lou Xiaoe, and then announced the end of the meeting.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to watch, everyone picked up their small benches and returned one after another. Li Pingan came to the side of the big mother, looked at the two little girls in the hands of the big mother, and shook his head helplessly.

After returning to the house, Ding Qiunan made a cup of malted milk for the two children of the Jia family, then sat down and said, "Auntie, what are you going to do with the two children of the Jia family? There are no adults in the Jia family now. Isn't it appropriate to send it back now?"

Seeing the two children gulping malted milk, the whole family was caught in a dilemma.

On the one hand, it is because they do not know when Qin Huairu will be able to come back, and on the other hand, the family is so big that there is really no place for the two children.

"Let Xiaodang and Xiaohuaihua sleep first, I'll wait here for Qin Huairu to come back." Yi Zhonghai rubbed Xiaohuaihua's head, and said to the three of them.

Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, Li Pingan shook his head: "Uncle, I feel that Qin Huairu won't be able to come back for a while. Otherwise, let my aunt go to Jia's house to put the child to sleep while waiting for Qin Huairu to come back."

"No, there is no adult in the Jia family. Even if we entrust the child to us, we can't go to her house. If something is lost in the house, it will be hard to tell." As soon as Li Pingan's voice fell, Yi Zhonghai said Open your mouth and refuse.

Li Pingan nodded: "That's the truth. I didn't think carefully. Guadatian Li Xia, this matter really shouldn't be done like this."

"Okay, it's too late now, you young couples, go back quickly, you don't have to worry about this matter, I and your uncle have a solution." Next to the mother who has been taking care of the two children of the Jia family, waited for the children to drink malted milk essence. , got up and cleaned up the dishes while chasing people away.

Li Pingan's young couple really couldn't help here. After a brief chat, they turned and left Yi Zhonghai's house.

After returning to their own room, the young couple turned off the light and got into bed after some washing, and only then began to whisper.

"Ping An, this kid is so young, how dare he steal the neighbor's fake chicken and kill the chicken to eat meat? When I was the same age as BangGeng, let alone kill a chicken, I would not dare to kill a fish Ding Qiunan stuck to Li Ping'an's arms, and told Li Ping'an what happened tonight.

"It's nothing strange to dare to kill a chicken. It's really bold to dare to steal a chicken. That is, the stick is still small. If it is a little bigger, this kid will definitely be imprisoned for more than ten years."

Li Pingan didn't find it strange that the boy Banggen dared to kill the chicken. During festivals, you can often see chickens being killed and bloodletting. It is not surprising that sticks dare to kill chickens and eat meat.

"Hey, you said that a child as young as BangJiao was really taught by Mrs. Jia Zhang badly."

"The stick stem has become like this, in fact, it is the result of many factors. If you want me to say that the largest proportion of it is He Yuzhu."

"Why do you say that?"

"It's very simple. I told you before that the boy's mouth was spoiled by He Yuzhu, and he couldn't live a hard life. In addition, this kid used to steal things from He Yuzhu's house. He Yuzhu didn't care, and even encouraged His behavior of stealing, no matter how good a child is, he will be raised and disabled if he is so used to it."

"Oh, the two of them really don't know what to say."

"What are they doing, go to bed, we have to go to Teacher Wang's for dinner tomorrow night"

Last time I made an appointment to go to Wang Yangzhi's place for dinner, but there were too many things during this time, and I just came back from a business trip, so I kept pushing and pushing. This afternoon, Wang Yangzhi asked Li Ping'an and his wife to come over tomorrow night through the phone call.

Early the next morning, Li Pingan was woken up from the bed by Ding Qiunan: "Ping An, Ping An, hurry up, it's snowing outside, and the street organization has asked me to go out to sweep the snow."

Li Pingan got up in a daze, opened the curtains and looked at the situation outside. Now the outside is completely white, with snow like goose feathers flying in the sky, and a thick layer of white snow has accumulated on the ground.

He looked at his watch. It was only 7 o'clock in the morning. Li Ping put on his clothes and got off the bed. Well, it's just below the ankle, about [-] centimeters, so it doesn't take much effort to clean it up.

Sijiucheng is fine, but the winter in the northeastern countryside is really sad. When it snows heavily, if it is not cleaned up in time, the heavy snow can seal the door. When the snow is at its heaviest, the ground can be covered with a layer of snow more than one meter thick.

When I went to Yi Zhonghai's room for breakfast, I found that Yi Zhonghai was not there, so I asked my aunt, "Auntie, where is my uncle? Why is there no one in the morning?"

Seeing Li Ping'an coming in, the aunt quickly handed over a bowl of stick noodle porridge out of the pot, and said, "Your uncle went out to sweep the snow early in the morning, you can eat quickly, people on the street are calling , all the party members in the courtyard have to go out to sweep the snow, you are the only party member in our courtyard, you can go as soon as you finish eating."

These days, party members don’t come first to talk about it, but because they have something to do, such things as snow sweeping are okay, but they are afraid of very dangerous tasks, deadly tasks, and party members take priority.
As a later generation, I don't have such a high awareness, that is, the consequences of retiring now are too serious, or Li Pingan will give him a resignation.

After a quick meal, Li Pingan put on a cotton coat, took the big broom prepared by Da Ma, and braved the cold wind and snow, and quickly walked out to the street.

The snow at the gate of the courtyard was almost swept away, Yi Zhonghai should have just come out to sweep it, Li Pingan walked forward along the cleared road.

Not far away, I saw the figures of the three uncles in the courtyard.

"Uncle, where are the people on our street? Let me ask where I want to sweep." Li Pingan came to Yi Zhonghai who was sweeping snow, and shouted loudly.

After Yi Zhonghai heard Li Pingan's voice, he stopped sweeping the snow and pointed to Li Pingan, "Go ahead and exit our alley. Director Liu and the others are over there. Go over and ask ask"

"Okay, then I'll go, you are so old, go back later, let the young people in the courtyard come and do it" After leaving this sentence, I greeted the remaining two uncles and left here .

When Li Pingan came to the street, the people on the street were already working in full swing. After a simple count, there were about a dozen people working hard to sweep the snow.

After looking in the crowd, I found the figure of Director Liu who was sweeping the snow. Li Pingan walked over quickly, and said to Director Liu while sweeping the floor: "Director Liu, I'm here, you can arrange my work Bar"

"Comrade Ping An is here, so, don't stay here, we have enough manpower on this side of the street for the time being, you can go to the road to the rolling mill, there is still a shortage of manpower." Director Liu, who was sweeping the snow, also No nonsense, immediately arranged for Li Ping'an's work.

"Okay, I'll go then"

When Li Pingan came to the road from Hongxing Street to the rolling mill, someone was already sweeping the snow. Li Pingan didn't talk nonsense. He found a place by himself and started sweeping.

In fact, it is still snowing in the sky now, and it is useless to clean it up now. The ground that has just been cleaned has not long been covered with a thin layer, but there is no way, the snow still needs to be swept, so as not to delay the travel of the masses .

After working for a long time, after eight o'clock, the snow in the sky gradually lightened up. At this time, the road surface had been cleared, and Li Pingan could finally go back to rest now.

When he came to Director Liu, Li Pingan just wanted to talk about going back, but was interrupted by Director Liu.

"Comrades, this is the case. The weather this year is relatively cold. It has not yet entered winter. The first snow of this year has already fallen. There must be people on our street who are not well prepared. Everyone is a party member. Wait a minute When I go back, check to see if there are any needy households in the courtyard who need help, and when the statistics come up, let the street figure out a way.”

Well, this time I took another job for myself.

After returning home, Li Pingan began to visit the neighbors in the courtyard door to door, asking if they had any difficulties and needed help.

The first thing I came to was Lao Liu's house in the backyard. Lao Liu was the most difficult person in the courtyard. As soon as Li Pingan entered the house, he felt that the house was not very warm, and it was a little better than the outside. After the sentence, Li Pingan came to the coal stove to feel it.

The old Liu’s family was reluctant to burn briquettes. The ventilation holes under the coal stove were not opened, and the temperature of the coal stove was not high. It can only be said that it is better than nothing.

Seeing this, Li Pingan knew what he was doing, and he didn't ask the old Liu's family to burn more briquettes.

It's unnecessary to say this kind of thing. If it weren't for the family's real difficulties, why would they be reluctant to burn coal balls?

I also visited two other impoverished households in the courtyard, which were similar to the situation of the old Liu's family in the backyard. After Li Pingan finished the visit, the situation of these three households was basically understood.

After going back to the room, he took out his notebook, took some notes, put on his cotton coat and scarf, and went out with Yi Zhonghai to the street office.

When I came to the office of the street office, the street meeting room was already full of people, all of whom were party members or stewards from various courtyards, queuing up one by one to report to Director Liu about the needy households in the courtyard.

After counting all the families in need of help on Hongxing Street, Director Liu also encountered difficulties. The current streets can be said to have money but no money, and no people. There are too many poor households, and the streets can't help if they want to. It can only be said that they are powerless.

In the end, Director Liu really had no choice but to say that the neighbors need neighbors to help each other. The street subsidized each needy household with [-] cents, and then drove everyone back. Families donate money and materials to help poor neighbors tide over difficulties.

After leaving the gate of the street office, Li Pingan looked at the one yuan and fifty cents in his hand, and smiled helplessly.

One hundred catties of briquettes is 1.15 yuan, which is about 50 briquettes.The street gives a family fifty cents, and you can buy about twenty of them. If you let them go to the fire, they will burn for about three days. If you save some, it will take five days at most.

According to Director Liu of the street, this fifty cents is a winter subsidy for needy households. Let alone fifty cents next time, the street office probably won't be able to get a piece of honeycomb briquette.

"What do you mean, the honeycomb briquette for fifty cents won't buy much, shall we organize donations when we go back?" Li Pingan looked at Yi Zhonghai next to him and asked.

What Yi Zhonghai could say, he could only nod his head: "Go back and have a look, the fifty cents is definitely not enough, it's all from the neighbors, let's make it up, at least let the three poor households in our courtyard survive This winter, in this damn weather, if there is no coal, people will die."

"Based on the calculation that a household burns 5 yuan of honeycomb coal a day, the three households spend 15 yuan a day and 450 yuan a month, which is about 900 catties of coal. That month is 10.35 yuan. Calculated based on three months, then It's 31 yuan and five cents." Li Ping'an's mental calculation is very good, but he can calculate the approximate cost at once.

The two chatted while walking, and when they arrived at the yard, Yi Zhonghai stood at the door and thought for a while, then said: "This money is not too much, so don't hold a general meeting of the whole courtyard, the people in the courtyard are not easy, Just call a few well-to-do families in the courtyard, let’s make up for it, no matter how much they pay, I will make up for it.”

"OK, listen to you"

After Yi Zhonghai returned to the house, Li Pingan started from the backyard and called several families with good conditions in the courtyard to Yi Zhonghai's house in the middle courtyard.

In the entire courtyard, there are not many families with good conditions. Speaking of the front yard, the conditions of the families are average, and there are a lot of children to raise, that is, to eat and clothe warm.

The dual-career families in the courtyard, if you look at the regular employees, strictly speaking, there are only two families in total, that is, Li Pingan's young couple and Shazhu brother and sister.

Although Shazhu has already married, Yushui is not yet married, and there are no parents above, so it can barely be regarded as a dual-career family.

Speaking of which, Liu Haizhong's eldest son is also a dual-employee, but he does not live in the courtyard, and the unit has allocated a house, which cannot be counted in the courtyard.

Since no dual-career family could be found in the courtyard, Li Pingan had no choice but to choose the taller one from the short ones, and called the better conditions in the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong, Xu Damao, Sha Zhu, Yan Fugui, these four people were called in total.

Speaking of which, Yan Fugui shouldn't be called here, but who made him the third master in the courtyard? When encountering such a thing, he must donate some, no matter if he pays more or less.

After all the people arrived, Yi Zhonghai didn't rush to talk about the donation, but first poured a cup of Maojian tea for a few people, and after a brief chat, he began to talk about the content of the meeting just held in the street.

After conveying the meaning of Director Liu of the Sub-district Office, Yi Zhonghai looked up at the embarrassed expressions on everyone's faces, and said domineeringly: "Let me put the words here, we will raise a total of 29.5 yuan this time to give The three needy households in the yard are purchasing briquettes for the winter, and you guys are looking to donate, no matter how much is left, I will give the money.”

Listening to Yi Zhonghai's domineering speech, Li Pingan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help sighing in his heart, "If you are rich, you have confidence!"
