Restarting life in Siheyuan

Chapter 225

Not long after getting off work, every household in the yard was preparing dinner. Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard and knocked on Liu Haizhong's door.

"Master, is something wrong with you?"

Liu Haizhong's house had an early dinner today, and he had just poured a glass of it. Before he could peel the hard-boiled eggs, he saw Yi Zhonghai come to the door with a dark and solemn look. He really didn't know what happened, so he quickly asked.

Yi Zhonghai also didn't expect that Liu Haizhong's family had already eaten. It seemed a bit inappropriate to talk about things, so he had to say it.

"I have something to do, but don't delay your family's meal. Let's do this. You eat first. When you're done, come to my house. I'll call Teacher Yan too. We'll sum it up later."

I have to call him the third uncle. This is another problem in the courtyard. Last time he was criticized by Director Wang and he lost all his face. This time it is just right. He needs to make up for it. Otherwise, the second uncle would be a loser.

"Master, why don't I come back later and eat. Things in the yard are more important than eating. Let's finish things first."

As Liu Haizhong said this, he was about to get up and look for clothes, but Yi Zhonghai quickly stopped him.

"Old Liu, this cannot be explained clearly in a few sentences. You, please eat in peace and we will talk later. I will go find Lao Yan first."

Liu Haizhong had no choice but to sit down. It seemed that this matter was not a big deal. He must have made another request from above. I didn't hear it. I will have to listen carefully later.

"Okay, I'll just give you a few words. You go first. I'll be back in a moment."

Yi Zhonghai hurried to the third uncle's house in the front yard again. He didn't know what he said. The third uncle finally nodded, and Yi Zhonghai went home.

Liu Haizhong directly took the plate, pulled half of the dishes, and started to devour the dishes. The two Liu brothers stopped their chopsticks and watched. If there was a problem with holding down the chopsticks, there would be big trouble. They would eat later.

"Master, this man is in a hurry. It must be something important. You have to think carefully about it. Don't think about it all the time. It's best not to get ahead of yourself."

The second aunt was a little worried, fearing that the second uncle would rush in front again and be deceived. Last time something went wrong with the Jia Zhang family, the first uncle didn't come forward, and the head of the house rushed in front and was sprayed all over.

Being covered in filth was not a waste of time for the second aunt. It was obvious that if something happened in this yard, she would suffer. Seeing how smart the first man was, she didn't go there at all.

"You're a woman, what do you know? Just keep an eye on these two brats. You've earned this opportunity by yourself. If you don't fight for it, no good thing will come to you. I'll go first. Keep this egg for me. Eat when you come back and keep the wine.”

Liu Haizhong put on his cotton coat, took the tea cup and went out. Hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, he couldn't finish it in a short while. It seemed that the instructions were quite long. It was really a new requirement for the new year. It should be done. He had to digest it. Look. See if there is any chance.

It got cold early this year, and the snow from the past few days has not yet melted. Although the snow has been swept away in the yard, the temperature is still low. Liu Haizhong shrank his neck, walked a few steps quickly, and walked out of the backyard.

I happened to meet Xu Damao coming back from outside.

"Second uncle, if you have anything to do in this cold weather, you have to go out. It would be nice to go home and stay warm."

Liu Haizhong looked at Xu Damao, he seemed to be much sharper and his injuries seemed to have healed.

"Da Mao, why did you get home? The Publicity Department is so busy?"

Xu Damao showed some pride. He had work to do, and he was left to work overtime. This was because he had the ability and the leader could use it.

"Second uncle, you don't know how busy our department is right now. It's just passed New Year's Day, and there's a lot of work coming from above, all of which have to be publicized. If you haven't been busy until now, you should be busy first. I have to go home to eat hot food. Rice, if you don’t eat, you will starve to death.”

It’s really spirited!Liu Haizhong suddenly became energetic and strode into Yi Zhonghai's house.Dinner had just started at the eldest man’s house, and he didn’t expect Liu Haizhong to arrive so quickly. He hurriedly greeted him and sat down, and the eldest mother refilled the hot water.

"Auntie, you eat first and leave me alone. I'll drink some hot tea to warm myself up. It's quite cold here."

The dinner at the grandpa's house was also very simple, just a stew, a pickle, and some green vegetables for dipping sauce. There was no more, and there was someone waiting, so the two of them just had a few bites.

The aunt made a cup of tea and went to clean up.

The two of them were sitting at the table, each holding a cup of tea, drinking slowly and comfortably, but Liu Haizhong couldn't help but speak first.

"Sir, I have some new instructions to convey. Please say a few words first and let me learn."

The old man shook his head, lowered his head and took a sip, then raised his head and spat out a few small pieces of tea leaves. The tea was so broken that it almost became foamy.

"Let's wait for Lao Yan to come and talk together later. He will be here soon."

Liu Haizhong suppressed his curiosity and sipped tea with Yi Zhonghai. Looking at Yi Zhonghai's serious look, he sighed secretly. He was really far from good at cultivating qi. Seeing his popularity and calmness, he also followed suit.

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and the third uncle came in with his neck scrunched up and said hello.

"Lao Yan is here, just in time. I have been waiting for you. Now we are all here. We have something to discuss."

Discuss something?Not conveying the spirit, Liu Haizhong was stunned, what could happen? This poor yard seems to be surrounding the Jia family all year round. If something happens again, it will probably be the Jia family. Who let this old man's apprentice leave? .

Looking at the third uncle, it seems that he is not surprised at all. Has the teacher already guessed it?I was so stupid that I thought I had instructions.

Seeing that the two uncles didn't speak, which meant they didn't object, Yi Zhonghai put down the teapot and sat upright.

"Everyone comes in and out of this yard every day. Everyone knows something. Not long ago, Director Wang criticized the three of us for not taking care of the yard. You haven't forgotten it."

At this point, the first uncle sat up straighter and looked around. The two uncles were silent. Old Liu seemed to have some ideas.

Before Liu Haizhong could speak, Yi Zhonghai said again.

"This matter is really our fault. Director Wang said it a bit harshly, but he is right. We did not do enough to care about the needy households in the yard."

Seeing some resentment in Liu Hai, he wanted to speak, but interrupted again.

"Old Liu, don't have any grievances. If we had asked more about this matter, it wouldn't have happened. Don't be unconvinced."

"Let's just talk about you. This Jia Dongxu is sick and lying at home. Have you ever come to care about him once? If you visit once and understand their family's difficulties, will their family have no way to ask for help and let a big belly pull the cart?"

The bangs suddenly wilted. Indeed, he had never been there once. Look at the third uncle. These three uncles had never been there either. Why is the old god here now, as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong had lost the desire to speak, the third uncle pretended to be a fairy. The first uncle didn't care and just didn't jump out to object. He still understood how to unite the majority.

"This time the sub-district office gave us a wake-up call. We did not do enough to care for households in need. Now that it has been pointed out, we must change it in time, immediately, so..."
