Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 146: Donations from the General Meeting of the Hospital
When the second uncle saw that Shazhu had donated money before him, he said helplessly:
"Everyone knows that my income is not as good as that of the elder brother. I also have an old woman and three sons to support at home, so I will donate twenty."

The third uncle saw that Liu Haizhong had also donated, and his already painful face was full of reluctance to give up money. He just heard him say feebly:

"Everyone also knows that my salary is low. My family of six depends on my salary to support them, so I really can't make much money. But as the third uncle of the hospital, I also know the difficulties of Qin Huairu's family. Today I will use my salary to support my family. I’ll donate three yuan of my savings over the years.”

The neighbors looked at the trembling appearance of the third uncle when he put three yuan into the donation box, and thought that it was indeed difficult for the third uncle to support his family. He might actually have taken out the coffin book to donate three yuan, and they also admired the third uncle. Incessantly.

Only Yang Shuning knew it well. Despite the poor look on the third uncle's face, it was important to have a pickle at home. But besides the Yang family, the third uncle in the courtyard who had the most savings besides Yi Zhonghai was the third uncle.

After the three stewards and Shazhu finished donating, the neighbors all focused on Yang Shuning.

Despite what he says, everyone is still more willing to follow Yang Shuning and wait for Yang Shuning to take action before donating.

Especially Xu Damao said directly:

"Shu Ning, how much do you want to donate? If you don't donate, everyone will be unsure."

At this time, Yang Shuning suddenly felt that he had become a standout, and it was not a good thing to be stared at by everyone. He could only say helplessly:
"The Jia family is indeed in difficulty. Even 30 yuan won't last long without any income. My principle is to help emergencies rather than the poor, so in addition to this donation, I also have a suggestion. I hope the first uncle and sister-in-law of the Jia family will consider it carefully. Down."

Seeing everyone's confused faces, Yang Shuning stared at the elder again and said slowly:

"Master, everyone knows that Jia Dongxu is your disciple and your pensioner. You have supported the Jia family for so many years, why don't you continue to support it!"

"Jia Dongxu is gone. There is still Banggeng. Now Banggeng is eight years old. He will be able to work in ten years and will be able to support you in your old age. Why don't you consider it?"

"Also, I have another question. Why were the Lin family and Brother Shitou's family so difficult before? I haven't seen the elders organize donations. It seems that you still have special feelings for the Jia family!"

Seeing the greatly changed expressions of the first master and Qin Huairu, Yang Shuning stopped stirring up trouble.

"Okay, before I came here today, my mother also agreed to donate to the Jia family. We are all neighbors, so we should help the Jia family. I will donate 40 yuan on behalf of my own family, [-] yuan on behalf of my eldest brother's family, and [-] yuan on behalf of my third uncle. My family and my aunt’s family each donated five yuan, a total of [-] yuan.”

After Yang Shuning finished speaking, Silly Zhu jumped out and said accusingly:
"Your Yang family's income is so high, why don't you donate more? I didn't see that the Jia family is in such difficulty."

Hearing that Silly Zhu was blaming his brother, Yang Shuhao and Yang Shuming stood up instantly, especially Yang Shuhao, whose hands had been clenched into fists, ready to teach Silly Zhu how to behave.

However, Yang Shuning patted Yang Shuhao on the shoulder and was not angry. He just felt that it was time for him to show off his authority, so he said with a smile:

"The Jia family is indeed in difficulty right now, but it's not the time when we all need to do our best to help. Not to mention anything else, the first uncle, the second uncle, you, Silly Zhu, and I have a total of 140 yuan. How can we get it if we continue to help? We can also scrape together 150 yuan and spread it out over five months. That’s 30 yuan a month, which is not enough for them to live on.”

"We are just helping the Jia family to get through the difficulties, not helping the Jia family to get rich in one fell swoop. And Silly Zhu, didn't you bring back lunch boxes for them? Not only can they eat meat, but it can also help them save a lot of money."

"And even if the donation this time is not enough, you and I still have to take care of it. I believe you won't ignore it."

"Finally, I have to criticize you, Silly Zhu. Do you think all cadres are rich people? Your thinking is wrong, dangerous, undesirable, and not conducive to the development of the people. [-] Uncle, look at the fools you have taught, look at what they have become, it is completely contrary to the national policy."

"Si Zhu, sir, let me ask you, what do you think cadres do?"

Yang Shuning had already taught Sha Zhu a lesson, and finally Sha Zhu said blankly:

"A cadre is just an official, otherwise what else could he do?" Yang Shuning continued:
"Cadres serve the people, are you the people? Are Qin Huairu the people?"

Silly Zhu replied without hesitation:

"Yes."

Yang Shuning asked again:

"Then do you think it's the people or the cadres who are more powerful?"

Silly Zhu felt dizzy at this time and said:
"The people are great."

Yang Shuning scolded:

"You, the people, are the ones I serve. How can I donate more than you to serve you? It's just nonsense!"

"And what's wrong with cadres working so hard to serve the people and earning more than the people? Silly Zhu, do you have any objections or are you opposed to the policies and guidelines formulated by superior leaders?"

Silly Zhu was so frightened that he quickly said:

"No, no, I have no objection,"

Yang Shuning continues to work hard:
"So this time we will donate 40 yuan to Jia's family. Do you have any other opinions?"

Silly Zhu still waved his hand and said:
"No objection, no objection."

Yang Shuning turned around and said to the uncle:

"Master, I also want to criticize you. Look at what you have taught Shazhu. As far as I know, his father entrusted the Shazhu brothers and sisters to you before he left. Now Shazhu actually thinks that the cadres are all If you are rich, you can say such things..."

"Bah, is this kind of thinking possible? As the eldest man in the courtyard, you are also an eighth-level engineer recognized by the state, and you are the person entrusted by Si Zhu's father. What have you taught him? Look at what you have taught him. Come on, I have to go to the sub-district office to talk about your ability and the leader of the steel rolling mill about your work quality."

How could Yi Zhonghai not know that he was implicated by Silly Zhu this time? He said quickly:
"It's me who didn't educate him well. I will teach Silly Zhu well in the future! It won't happen like this again."

Yang Shuning nodded and said:

"I hope it's the same as what you said. It won't happen next time. Donations can continue. Neighbors should do what they can."

After Yang Shuning finished speaking, he took out four big black tens and put them into the donation box, and left with Yang Shuhao and Yang Shuming.

When the neighbors saw Yang Shuning leaving and seeing that the first man and Silly Zhu had been beaten by Yang Shuning, they were happy to do what Yang Shuning wanted and do what they could. Those with low incomes would donate one or two yuan or even a few cents, and those with high incomes would donate three or four cents. piece.

When the third uncle made the last count, the donation totaled 208.7 yuan.
