Siheyuan: living in a prosperous era

Chapter 223 Debate over quota allocation
"Sister-in-law, I have to arrange things for tomorrow, so I won't accompany you. Please be careful along the way."

After lunch, Yang Shuning and the other four took the sacrifices prepared by Hong Delao's wife and prepared to pay homage to their ancestors.Although it is not a new year, I think people will not have any objections.

"Grandpa and grandma, I am unfilial. This is the first time in so many years that I have come to worship you, and I also want to move you to the capital. If you have any instructions, just leave them to me in a dream, and I will definitely comply with them."

Under the guidance of Mother Yang, Yang Shuning arranged the offerings, lit incense and candles, and respectfully worshiped her ancestors.

During the worship ceremony, Yang Shuning and the others also brought sickles and hoes to prepare for weeding.But I didn't expect that there would be no chance for Yang Shuning and the others to perform. There was only a thin layer on top. It seemed that Mr. Hong De was not lying. He had helped to worship with all his heart.

Yang Shuning, who is not supposed to be superstitious or believe in ghosts and gods, seems to be a bit superstitious.

The main reason is that Yang Shuning came through time travel. Although he doesn't know the principle of time travel, he thinks it cannot be explained scientifically, so he has to be superstitious.Even time travel can happen. If there is a ghost, Yang Shuning can accept it.

Of course, we have now reached the period of the flood of humanity, and all ghosts and ghosts have been wiped out. If there are ghosts, they probably have their tail between their legs.

After paying homage to the grandparents, we went to pay homage to the second grandfather, second grandma, and finally the eldest uncle and aunt.

While Yang Shuning and the others were paying homage to their ancestors, Hong Delao's family was also having a huge quarrel.

Because the Yang family was considered a poor family in the Qing Dynasty (the poor family here is not a poor family as many people understand it. In ancient times, a poor family refers to "the upper class has no poor family, and the lower class has no powerful family." This means that the upper class officials have no power. Talents from the lower class of society, while low-level officials are not from rich and powerful families. But they feel that they can be called gentry and big landowners.), so although Yang Shuning's direct lineage is not prosperous enough, he has not been born. There are more than 30 families in Wufu.

There are more than 30 families in the countryside. Counting the three generations of each family in the countryside, there are at least 5 people. This does not include the second and third children in the family who separated when they grew up. In total, the Yang Shuning family has more than 200 people. huge.

(Take me as an example. I remember when I was a child in my hometown in the countryside, every time the family had something to do, there would be many clan members who were not in the fifth service. When hosting a banquet, every family would have to provide help. Like when I grew up, I was the one who always helped serve food. It was not until most of my peers arranged the banquet in the hotel that they no longer had to serve food. During the banquet, 7 to 10 tables were left for family members. My father said that in the family, There are more than 100 men, not including women, in the village. It is definitely considered a big family in the village, so my cousin has always been the branch secretary of the village.)
More than 30 representatives crowded into Mr. Hong De's house, and those with lower seniority were placed directly outside the door, just to fight for the three places left by Yang Shuning, no, it should be two.Because there is a quota reserved for Mr. Hong De's family.

"Hong De, no matter how we deal with this matter, my family will definitely keep one, because my family has the closest relationship with Suqin and the others."

The person who spoke was a cousin of Yang Shuning. Although he was a cousin, he was old enough to be Yang Shuning's grandfather.His grandfather was a biological brother of Yang Shuning's grandfather. Unfortunately, his grandfather was the eldest son of a concubine and had no chance of running the family. But in terms of blood relationship, he was indeed the closest to Yang Shuning's family.

Hong Delao made a calculation in his mind, and it turned out that as his cousin said, his family had the closest blood relationship with the Yang Shuning family.

"Then I had the closest relationship with Uncle Zhengguo when I was a child. In the words of before the founding of the People's Republic of China, I was still Uncle Zhengguo's little book boy. I have been following Uncle Zhengguo since I was a child, so I should have my share of this position. "

The person who spoke was a cousin of Yang Shuning. According to him, he was Yang Shuning's father's school boy when he was a child. This relationship was indeed very close.At that time, the book boy was equivalent to the current leader's life secretary and work secretary. It can be said that he was not close to him.

"What are you arguing about? I used to." With more than 30 people quarreling, Hong Delao's house was like a parliamentary meeting in some countries. The quarrel was so fierce that it almost turned into a full-scale martial arts show. (What I said is not wrong, Smecta. The parliament of this country often performs acts of violence. Unlike our country’s representatives who hold meetings in an orderly manner, Smecta should learn from it.)
As a host, Hong De's head is about to explode. If it weren't for maintaining his own image, he would roar loudly to vent his emotions.

"Stop arguing and listen to what I have to say."

In order to keep the quota, Mr. Hong De still had to come out to maintain order.He had heard Yang Shuning say that if the family did not contribute, Yang Shuning would ask people from the Ministry of Human Resources to help.

If you don't outline the matter today and everyone fails to work tomorrow, you don't think Yang Shuning will still be willing to keep the quota.Among these three, there is a quota for his family, so don't lose everything.

After hearing Mr. Hong De's voice, everyone was still willing to give him face and listen to what he had to say.

"Everyone knows that these three places were left by Shu Ning and the others. This is not only their reward for asking everyone for help this time, but also a thank you for everyone's help over the years, and it is also a feedback from them as a clan member."

"We have given three quotas. Even if you don't work, you can still join the army. This kind of good thing is only available in our family. You have never heard of it in other villages, right?"

"But as for you, the quarrel started before the quota was obtained. What if Shu Ning finds out about the quarrel today? What will he think? He will say that we are not united, and if he is angry, he will not give the quota. Woolen cloth?"

"Shu Ning drove here in a military vehicle. When we had dinner at my house just now, he revealed that he has connections with the Ministry of Armed Forces. If everyone doesn't help, he will really ask the Ministry of Armed Forces directly for help."

"Don't talk about three places then, we will not have a single place. I don't think everyone wants to see this kind of thing, right?"

Seeing everyone's thoughtful look, Mr. Hong De continued:

"And as long as everyone contributes, do you think Shu Ning and the others will treat everyone badly?"

"So, the quota allocation will be put on hold for the time being. It will depend on everyone's performance in the past two days. Then I will ask Shu Ning to designate it directly. I believe he will see everyone's efforts."

"What if Shu Ning or my sister-in-law sees that everyone is working so hard, and there are a few more places? Even if there is no job, I think Shu Ning, as a major, can always arrange for people to join the army, right?"

Hong De said so much that he felt his mouth was dry.
