Siheyuan: a better life

Chapter 367 Conspiracy and tricks!

When Yi Zhonghai saw Liu Haizhong taking over this matter, a treacherous look flashed in his eyes. He immediately raised the wine glass in front of him and said to Liu Haizhong with a smile: "Old Liu! Come! Let's go one by one!"

The reason why Yi Zhonghai uses Liu Haizhong to make him stand out is actually for two purposes.

The current grain price on the black market is twice the normal grain price. Wu Aiguo agreed to help get the grain. If the settlement is based on the past price, it must be paid in. If Wu Aiguo settles according to the black market price, He can take this opportunity to report Wu Aiguo's speculation.

When Jia's family and Mrs. Jia Zhang saw Liu Haizhong walking into Yi Zhonghai's house, an excited expression immediately appeared on their faces, and they said to Jia Dongxu: "Dongxu! If Liu Haizhong can ask Wu Aiguo to help get food, then we will buy it directly. Two hundred kilograms, I will keep one hundred kilograms for myself when the time comes, and I will secretly take the hundred kilograms to the black market to exchange for money, so that not only do we not have to spend a penny to buy food, but we can also take the opportunity to make a fortune."

Jia Dongxu, who was on the side, immediately felt his eyes light up when he heard Jia Zhang's words. He raised his thumb to Jia Zhang and said happily: "Mom! This idea of ​​yours is simply too brilliant."

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Wu Aiguo drove Wu Pingshan and Chen Shuying back to the courtyard, planning to go back to the house to take a shower and then go to rest.

"Patriot! You're back. I have something to talk to you about." Yan Bugui, who was sitting in the yard watching TV, saw Wu Aiguo coming back. He immediately remembered what Liu Haizhong had just talked to him about, and hurriedly told him Behind Wu Aiguo, he walked into Wu Aiguo's house and whispered to Wu Aiguo.

Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, and asked Yan Bugui who was following him curiously: "Third Master! What do you want from me?"

Hearing Wu Aiguo's question, Yan Bugui thought of Liu Haizhong's purpose for coming to him before, and said to Wu Aiguo, "Patriotic! The situation is like this. Half an hour ago, Liu Haizhong came to me and said that some people in the courtyard Residents, the family has run out of food, I hope you can help the residents in the courtyard to get some food back."

When Wu Aiguo heard the news from Yan Bugui, he didn't even think about it, so he said to Yan Bugui: "Third Master! Since the residents in the courtyard are short of food, I would trouble you to register. Go to a friend for help and try to get some food back."

When Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's answer, he thought of the news Yan Jiekuang told him, and reminded Wu Aiguo in a low voice: "Aiguo! After Lao Liu left my house, our family Xie Kuang told me that in the evening, Lao Yi once invited Lao Liu went to his house for dinner."

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui mention Yi Zhonghai, he immediately guessed that Liu Haizhong's search for Yan Bugui must have something to do with Yi Zhonghai, and then asked Yan Bugui, "Third Master! Apart from asking you to mention it, Liu Haizhong About the food, did you say anything else?"

Hearing Wu Aiguo's question, Yan Bugui shook his head subconsciously, thinking of Liu Haizhong's search and hearing process, and replied: "Patriotic! Old Liu just said that there will be a general meeting tomorrow night to talk about the food exchange. I didn't say anything else."

When Wu Aiguo heard Yan Bugui's words, although he had not yet figured out what medicine was sold in Yi Zhonghai's gourd, the soldiers came to cover up the water and earth. No matter what conspiracy and tricks Yi Zhonghai wanted to do, Wu Aiguo did not take it to heart. superior.

Since he couldn't figure it out, Wu Aiguo didn't want to use his brain to think about it. He smiled and said to Yan Bugui: "Third uncle! I know about this matter. I said before that I shouldn't do it for the time being to register the grain quantity. Wait until tomorrow. We’ll talk about it after the hospital-wide meeting in the evening.”

Yan Bugui heard Wu Aiguo's answer, and replied with a smile: "Okay! Then I'll go to the yard to watch TV first."

At around seven o'clock the next morning, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui were sitting on both sides of the Eight Immortals table in the middle courtyard of the courtyard.

Liu Haizhong looked at the residents in the courtyard, and said in an official tone: "Dear comrades! We are holding this courtyard meeting tonight mainly for food matters."

"In the past few months, due to poor grain harvests in various places, every household has not been able to eat enough in the ration. In the past few days, several families have approached me, the second uncle, hoping to help everyone get some food."

"Although I, Liu Haizhong, is a seventh-level blacksmith in the rolling mill and an uncle in our yard, I don't have any channels to buy food. Based on the principle of mutual help, I hope that the residents who have surplus food at home can help them out." A helping hand, helping households who are short of food to overcome the immediate difficulties."

"I am the second uncle in the courtyard. I will set an example today by donating [-] kilograms of stick noodles from our family."

Yan Pugui, who was sitting by the side, heard Liu Haizhong's words, although he felt a lot of reluctance in his heart, he could only bite the bullet and say: "There are six people in our family, and we don't have enough food. Donate ten catties of stick noodles."

When Sha Zhu heard what Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui said, he immediately said: "Our family also donates ten catties of stick noodles."

Silly Zhu said this, and turned to Xu Damao and asked: "Xu Damao! You are the only one in your family now. It is said that one person is full and the whole family is not hungry. Should you show your attitude and donate a few dozen catties? ?”

When Xu Damao saw Silly Zhu pointing the finger at him, he also asked him to donate dozens of kilograms of grain, which made Xu Damao itchy with hatred.
He replied dissatisfiedly: "Silly Zhu! Although I am the only one in our family now, I don't have any extra food. Today, just for the sake of the two uncles, I will donate ten kilograms of stick noodles."

Xu Damao's compliment made Liu Haizhong feel very useful. He turned to Yi Zhonghai who was sitting in front of him and asked: "Old Yi! Although you are no longer the uncle in the courtyard, you are still an eighth-level worker in our factory. Everyone The monthly salary is only 99 yuan and 5 cents. How many kilograms of food is your family planning to donate?"

Yi Zhonghai originally planned to kidnap Wu Aiguo morally through the general meeting of the hospital, and ask Wu Aiguo to help the courtyard get food, but what he didn't expect was that at the general meeting tonight, Liu Haizhong didn't mention Wu Aiguo getting food Instead, let him donate food.

Facing Liu Haizhong's request, Yi Zhonghai felt depressed and reluctantly replied: "Old Liu! The Jia family ran out of food yesterday, so they came to me to borrow food. I lent Dongxu ten kilograms of food on the spot."

"Since you two uncles have expressed their opinions, I naturally cannot lag behind. The ten kilograms of grain I lent to the Jia family yesterday does not need to be repaid by the Jia family. It is regarded as a donation from me to the Jia family."

"In addition, among the residents in our courtyard, except for a few families who have some surplus food, the food in other families' homes is simply not enough to eat. Although we have donated some food to the residents in the courtyard based on the principle of helping each other, but this This method may only treat the symptoms but not the root cause.”

"Didn't Aiguo help the residents in the courtyard buy low-priced food some time ago? Since Aiguo has such channels, it's better to let Aiguo help and buy some food for everyone."
