Siheyuan: Rebirth of the Silly Pillar, with enlightenment that defies heaven

Sympathy is sympathy. Liu Haizhong is not a fool in this situation of the Jia family. Moreover, he is not the same as Yi Zhonghai before. He needs to put on a show and maintain the character of a moral god. It is just a verbal comfort and no actual monetary compensation. , or some symbolic help such as food, etc., they simply kept silent.

After all, if it comes down to it, this Jia Zhang family is not unjust, so what else can be wronged for smoking? Didn't you realize that all old deaf ladies are going to be shot?

As for Xu Damao and Yan Bugui, after listening to Liu Haizhong's words, their expressions were surprisingly consistent. This is troublesome and no one wants to get involved.

At this point, Qin Huairu originally thought that she could get help from a few uncles, but who would have thought that Liu Haizhong and the others were not even as good as Yi Zhonghai before him. Although Yi Zhonghai had his own plans, what he did when he was the first master was worthy of the title of first master. He really did a lot for the yard.

Seeing that Liu Haizhong didn't pay attention, the third uncle Yan Bugui's picky temper and Qin Huairu also knew that there would be no drama. In the end, he could only focus on Xu Damao.

"Da Mao, you are now the second uncle in the courtyard. Please help Sister Qin, otherwise our family will not be able to survive in the future!"

Xu Damao was stared at for a moment, but his eyes moved quickly, and he kept looking at Qin Huairu, and he seemed to have some ideas in his mind.

After thinking for a moment, Xu Damao did not respond immediately. Instead, he whispered something into the ear of the first uncle Liu Haizhong.

After listening to Xu Damao's words, Liu Haizhong frowned at the beginning and became suspicious at the end.

"Is this really possible?" Liu Haizhong couldn't help but ask.

"Master, don't you believe me? This is an opportunity. Besides, it doesn't cost us anything..."

Xu Damao patted his chest.

Upon seeing this, Liu Haizhong pondered for a moment and then nodded heavily.

"Okay!" After saying that, Liu Haizhong turned back and looked at Qin Huairu.

"Comrade Huairu, although this matter is difficult to handle, after all, you are also a member of our compound. I can't just look at you and ignore you, right?"

As soon as these words came out, before Qin Huairu could react, Yan Bugui said, "Old Liu, what do you mean?"

"Third uncle, please don't worry so much. Let's hold a hospital-wide meeting and mobilize the neighbors. We can help Sister Qin and the others to some extent, right?"

As Xu Damao spoke, he winked at Qin Huairu. Obviously, Liu Haizhong's change of attitude is also due to his recent contribution.

Qin Huairu could also understand it, even if she cast a grateful look at Xu Damao. In response, Xu Damao smiled, but there was no idea what he was thinking in his eyes.

……

That night, No. 95 Courtyard.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the middle courtyard one after another. The news of the hospital-wide meeting in the evening has already been announced.

The neighbors who came today were in good spirits. After all, the notices outside the wall have now exploded. This hospital-wide meeting was expected by everyone.

I just don’t know what the three uncles will say about this matter.

The three uncles sitting on the stone bench in the middle saw that almost everyone had arrived, so Liu Haizhong stood up and motioned for everyone to be quiet.

"Everyone, we are holding this meeting tonight. I believe everyone knows what happened in our yard.

Everyone listened to Liu Haizhong's words, but no one answered.

Liu Haizhong continued: "Now that the old lady is going to be shot, we don't know what her specific situation is. Maybe we can ask after Lao Yi comes back, but what is the situation on Jia Zhang's side?" , I think our neighbors in the courtyard still need to help.”

"After all, we all grew up in the same courtyard. It is indeed wrong for Mrs. Jia and Zhang to smoke. Being locked up is also a lesson that should be learned. However, this is a hardship for Qin Huairu, mother and son. They The situation of our family is obvious to all. Our current standard for poor households is five yuan per person per month. Qin Huairu and his family probably don’t even have two yuan. Now that this kind of thing has happened again, we If everyone in the hospital doesn’t help, will it be okay if word spreads?”

"Master, what do you mean?"

"Yes, sir, if you have anything to say, just say it. Everyone in the crowd will listen."

These people who spoke were not fools. On the contrary, they were smart enough to say it directly. By now, many people can see that the emotion of this meeting is that the first master and the others want to find support for Qin Huairu's family.

If Yi Zhonghai did this before, not many people would think it was inappropriate.

First of all, Yi Zhonghai usually has a good reputation in the courtyard, and the other Jia family has more or less connections with Jia Dongxu.

Although Dongxu had been dead for several years, Yi Zhonghai was still concerned about his face. But at this time, why did you Liu Haizhong take the initiative to speak for Widow Qin?
"Master, you don't want us to donate money, do you?"

"Donate to Qin Huairu? Come on, if I say something ugly, their family deserves it. What are the conditions? You even smoke opium. You really think you have no family background. This kind of person does not deserve sympathy!"

"That's right, Jia and Zhang are still in prison at the moment. Master, it's not appropriate for us to give this money to their Jia family!"

Obviously, everyone has a lot of resistance to opium smoking. Normally, everyone may not care. For a few cents, they just think of it as building a reputation in the yard. Now, everyone started to sneer at these things.

When Liu Haizhong saw this, he couldn't help but feel anxious. You know, his prestige in the courtyard has not yet reached the level of Yi Zhonghai. If these neighbors are really determined, he really will have no effect at all. However, Liu Haizhong didn't expect that his status in the hearts of the neighbors in these yards had not changed much?
After all, he is now the official boss in the courtyard. These guys... Liu Haizhong thought to himself and made up his mind to find an opportunity to establish his prestige in the courtyard and become the most influential cadre in the courtyard. !
On the side, Qin Huairu also noticed the chatter of the neighbors. She originally thought that with Liu Haizhong's help, they would be able to get a lot of profits from the yard this time. Who would have thought that it would be so miserable? ! Not only did these people not pay the money obediently like before, but many of them even planned to anger themselves. Seeing this, Qin Huairu was like a frightened rabbit. She quickly buried her head in her chest, not daring to look at the eyes of the people around her.

At the same time, Xu Damao, who had been silent until now, finally spoke.

"Dear neighbors, uncles and aunts, today, I would like to take the initiative to say a few words..." As the second uncle in the yard, although Xu Damao was not satisfied with the position of the uncle in his heart, he only supported the position of the first uncle. The so-called second uncle is just something specially designed by Liu Haizhong after he became an addict.

Now Xu Damao can see that if he continues to do this with a pig teammate like Liu Haizhong, not only will the matter not be handled well, but he may also be implicated. Ever since, Xu Damao also took the initiative to speak.

"Everyone, although I am not very old this year, I have worked hard in the steel rolling mill for so many years. Moreover, when I often go to the countryside to show movies, I have seen many women who have suffered the same fate as Comrade Qin Huairu."

"Especially in the countryside, there is no guarantee for the rights of lesbians. Now we finally have this opportunity. It is precisely because of the mistakes made by Jia Zhang, so Comrade Qin Huairu should not be implicated. After all, We are in modern times now, and we are very different from those who were always implicated."

"So, we don't need to give any face value of money. It's fate to give more or less. If the Jia family can survive this difficulty, our compound can at least retain some human touch, right?"

Although Xu Damao is young, he said these words in a consistent manner. He is worthy of being the flattering Qiu Feng King in front of the leadership. With just a few words, some of the officials who had just been worried about Liu Haizhong from the neighbors said, "Yes." Yes, although it may not work well when actually used, most people still do this.”

After Xu Damao spoke, more or less the residents in the courtyard came forward to donate a few cents or a few cents.

Seeing that the bills in front of him were piling up more and more, Xu Damao also took the initiative to look at Qin Huairu, with a meaningful look in his eyes.

Qin Huairu noticed this scene, but in order not to be noticed by others, she could only stare at the bills the whole time, but she also had some unusual thoughts in her heart.

After a while, everyone had almost donated. In this era, every household is not rich, so some people are not that wealthy. However, little things add up. With the cooperation of the three uncles, this hospital meeting helped Qin Huairu raise a total of seven dollars and fourty-seven cents!
Normally, Qin Huairu would be very happy with this amount, but today, Qin Huairu's face looked as sad as a bitter gourd.

Jia Zhang smoked tobacco, so even if there was a deaf old lady being beaten behind, it didn't mean that Jia Zhang would be able to share the burden.

Therefore, for Qin Huairu's family, this money can at most maintain food and clothing for a while.

At the same time, Xu Damao in the crowd suddenly saw a figure walking over. It's He Yuzhu, he's back from the front yard.

The moment he saw He Yuzhu, Xu Damao's eyes lit up, and then he said: "Isn't this coming!"

Although Xu Damao didn't know who He Yuzhu was or what he was doing, it was needless to say that Zhu Zhu was definitely not short of money.

"Um, Zhuzi, please come over here. There is a conference going on in our courtyard."

"There's something big going on in our courtyard. Did you see the two pieces outside the wall just now?

"Huh? There are these things, what's wrong?"

He Yuzhu didn't have any nonsense.

"We uncles are thinking about it. After all, this courtyard is a collective house. Now that something like this has happened to Jia Zhang, Qin Huairu will not even have a place to sleep, let alone eating. When the time comes, you Can you bear to watch? Well, just give Zhang Dahei ten symbolically. "

"Big Black Ten? Is this the face value or the symbolic meaning?"

After He Yuzhu heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly. This outrageous thing can be snatched directly, but I have to give you a chance to donate?
Xu Damao and the others said this in public. If He Yuzhu agrees with this, everyone will be happy. If He Yuzhu disagrees, then the atmosphere will become different. By then, if He Yuzhu fails to deal with the situation well, he may become the target of public criticism in the courtyard.

After Xu Damao finished speaking, he stared at He Yuzhu provocatively. That's right, he did it on purpose. He knew that Zhu Zhu was now capable and had a future outside. Maybe the Big Black Ten could bring it out?

No matter how bad it is, you still have to have a five-eight-dollar one, right?

Just when everyone was looking forward to it, He Yuzhu shrugged at Xu Damao and the others, "Sorry, I have no money, so don't ask me about this."

After leaving such a sentence, He Yuzhu turned around and left. It would be more cost-effective to go to the laboratory and find a few more parts than to waste time here with these beasts in the yard.

He Yuzhu's statement obviously made many neighbors who were watching react.

Well, even Zhuzhu said so, why don’t we donate it!
Originally, the whole family looked at Qin Huairu's miserable appearance and couldn't help but want to help. After seeing He Yuzhu's attitude, everyone suppressed the emotions in their hearts. They felt sorry for the Jia family, who To feel sorry for them?

Immediately, many people forcibly held the bills they had prepared in their hands and put them in their pockets.

Xu Damao originally thought that he could scare He Yuzhu with his reputation and large number of people. After all these years, He Yuzhu had been busy in the north, so he had no chance to have any conflict with Xu Damao. As a result, this first confrontation , he actually failed miserably?
For a time, in addition to those who were watching and taking back their donations, those guys with firm eyes from before also swarmed forward and took back the tickets they had just donated.

"Zhuzi, you..."

As a great man, Liu Haizhong and He Yuzhu's actions are undoubtedly a slap in his face. However, before he could say anything, He Yuzhu disappeared from the Central Courtyard long ago, and he didn't know where he went.

……

The week flies by, here we are in the 304 Research Institute, the th Department.

The burst of cheers made the silent and serious atmosphere in the laboratory of Department 14 relax a lot.

He Yuzhu, who had just come home to prepare for work, saw his eyes getting brighter and brighter after seeing some information handed to him by his assistant.
