Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 144 The First Master takes action again

"Mom, today's food is so delicious. You can ask Silly Zhu to cook it a few more times in the future."

While the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were still talking, Banggeng, whose mouth was already full of oil, started talking to Qin Huairu.

"My good grandson, from now on I will ask your mother to go to Silly Zhu's place to get more good food."

Without waiting for Qin Huairu to reply, Jia Zhang, who had regarded Banggan as her only spiritual sustenance and support, quickly responded to her sweet grandson.

Qin Huairu, who was on the side, saw Banggeng eating with his mouth full of oil, and his unnatural feeling about accepting the food from Shazhu also dissipated a lot.

Especially when Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang sat down to eat together, Qin Huairu felt the oily feeling in his mouth when the braised pork was chewed, and felt that it would be good to accept Sha Zhu's help.

Wasn't it just that Silly Zhu accidentally touched his hand? It was worth it to have two lunch boxes full of meat and vegetables when he touched his hand!

At this time, Qin Huairu felt that she really had to learn from Jia Zhang in the future and obtain the maximum benefit at the minimum cost.Jia Dongxu is gone, and Qin Huairu has decided to rely on the two widows in the family to hold up the Jia family's door.

At this time, in the east wing of the central courtyard, Yi Zhonghai had finished his meal and was drinking tea made with high crushed rice.Seeing his aunt busy in the kitchen, Yi Zhonghai was just as Jia Zhang expected, thinking about how to organize a fund-raising meeting for the Jia family.

As long as the meeting is held, not only will the Jia family have income to support Qin Huairu until Qin Huairu receives his salary, but he will also be able to show his high integrity and let the neighbors in the courtyard know that Yi Zhonghai is a helpful and public-minded steward. uncle.

Yi Zhonghai calculated that it would take two months for Qin Huairu to give birth, one month for confinement, and another month for receiving salary after taking up the job. During these four months, Jia's family had no income, and Jia Dongxu's death benefit was only 30 yuan. It’s simply not enough for the Jia family.

As long as the Jia family's difficulties are brought up at the courtyard meeting, I believe that the people in the courtyard will donate generously. At that time, I can establish my image as a moral saint who is willing to do good and charity. The Jia family will benefit, he will get a name, and everyone will get what they need.

However, this matter had to be agreed by the second uncle and the third uncle. The three stewards in the courtyard proposed it together. Not only was it more legitimate, but the neighbors in the courtyard had no reason not to donate.
After making up his mind, Yi Zhonghai said to the aunt in the kitchen:
"I'm going to Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui's place. If I come back late, you can rest first after you finish your work."

After finishing speaking, the elder got up and walked towards Liu Haizhong's house in the backyard. When he arrived at the door of Liu Haizhong's house, he knocked on the door and said:

"Old Liu, I'm Yi Zhonghai, please open the door."

When the second aunt came over and opened the door to let Yi Zhonghai in, she turned around and poured boiled water for Yi Zhonghai. The second uncle in the room also asked curiously:

"Lao Yi, what's the matter with coming here on such a cold day?"

The first uncle also got straight to the point, talking about donating money to the Jia family, and he just lied to Liu Haizhong, a reckless man.

The reason why the first uncle came to Liu Haizhong first instead of to Yan Bugui was because Yan Bugui was not only very smart about deductions, but Liu Haizhong was a good fool. As long as he deceived the second uncle Liu Haizhong, he , and then the two of them join forces to oppress Yan Bugui. As long as Yan Bugui still wants to be the third uncle, he will have no choice but to submit.

The situation was as Yi Zhonghai expected. The second uncle quickly agreed with him. Then the two went to the front yard together and jointly pressured the third uncle Yan Bugui to agree.Although Yi Zhonghai's idea is not pure, the Jia family is indeed in difficulty, and Yan Bugui would agree, but who knows that Yan Bugui is the reincarnation of an abacus, calculating money all day long.Therefore, the first and second uncles had to join forces to pressure Yan Bugui to agree to this donation.

As soon as Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong walked out of the front yard, Yan Bugui immediately walked to the door of Yang Shuning's house and knocked on the door.

At this time, Yang Shuning, who was still listening to the radio and reading medical books on the sofa in the living room, heard someone knocking on the door, and was still curious about who would come here at this time.Mother Yang and Wang Xue were teasing Little Watermelon on the side.

Yang Shuning got up and put on his coat, opened the door and saw that it was the third uncle Yan Bugui.
"Teacher Yan, you are a rare guest, please come in quickly."

After Yang Shuning finished speaking, he was about to help Yan Bugui get his shoes from the shoe cabinet, but the third uncle said:
"Shu Ning, don't take it. I just came to tell you that the first master is planning to hold a hospital-wide meeting tomorrow to call on everyone to donate to the Jia family so that they, orphans and widowed mothers, can survive these difficult months. You Busy first, I’ll go home first.”

After Yan Bugui finished speaking, when Yang Shuning nodded to indicate that he understood, he turned around and went home. Upon seeing this, Yang Shuning closed the door.It's still only February, and it's very cold outside the house.

"Was that Teacher Yan just now?"

When Yang Shuning returned to the sofa and sat down, Yang's mother asked about the person who knocked on the door.

"Well, he came to tell me something. He said that the first uncle was going to help the Jia family collect donations in the courtyard."

Yang Shuning, Yang Mu, and Wang Xue talked about the reason why Yan Bugui came.

"Oh, the backbone of the Jia family is gone, and their factory only gave them such a small subsidy. Life is really sad. Although I don't like Jia Zhang's personality, we are also neighbors. We can't see each other when we look up. Tomorrow you will also Go donate some.”

Previously, the Jia family was headed by Jia Dongxu, who was a decent person and had a harmonious relationship with everyone in the courtyard. Qin Huairu also behaved like a good daughter-in-law and a good wife. It was normal for Mother Yang, who had never watched TV series, to have this idea.

Moreover, since Yang Shuning was admitted to the Military Medical University, the Yang family's life has been prosperous and they often help people in the courtyard. Nowadays, the courtyard is not the one where the elder has a say. On the contrary, the neighbors are more willing to listen to the opinions of Yang Shuning's family.

The common people all act according to the prevailing circumstances. They listen to whoever has a powerful family and whoever is an official.The Yang family is now powerful and has many officials, and the current number one thug in the courtyard is Yang Shuchen, the eldest brother, and the second thug is Yang Shuhao, the third brother.

The most important thing is that there are so many people listening to Yang Shuning. Not only are there five households in the front yard, except for Yang Shuning himself and his eldest brother Yang Shuchen, the family of slaughter worker Jin Gan and the family of former impoverished household Zhu Shitou are the only ones who follow Yang Shuning's direction, as well as the third uncle.

The Intermediate Court now has the third uncle's family, and the third uncle is now the director of the Comprehensive Management Office of the subdistrict office.There were An Xin's family and Xu Damao's couple in the backyard.

Although there are three official stewards in the courtyard, Yang Shuning has almost become an underground boss.In Yang Shuning's own opinion, he has almost become a plutocrat in Bangzi Country, and secretly he is the biggest boss.

Yang Shuning also thought her idea was funny, but she still nodded towards Mother Yang and said:
"Okay, Mom, as long as nothing happens tomorrow, I will support this donation. At least it will help people get through this difficult time."
