A Siheyuan Home Brings Good Fortune

Chapter 2: General Assembly

Chapter 2: General Assembly (I)

When He Yukai arrived at the street office, he asked the car to go back. He grew up here and was familiar with the place. He showed his letter of introduction to the old security guard.

Following the instructions of the old security guard, he walked to the director's office. Looking at the street office and the director's office in front of him, He Yukai straightened his clothes.

You have to leave a good impression when you come here for the first time. When you live in Nanluoguxiang in the future, you will often have to deal with the director of the street office. Sometimes the first impression of a person is very important.

This is also the reason why many people seek etiquette training during recruitment interviews in later generations.

The first impression is also a big plus. For example, if the first impression is: you are stable, it will attract others' initial trust.

First impression: You are a smooth talker and you talk nonsense, so there is nothing I can say.

First impression: You are restrained and timid. That shows that you lack initiative and so on.

Many times the first impression even determines the success or failure of a thing.

"report"

"Come in"

He Yukai entered the office and saw a middle-aged woman sitting at the desk sorting some documents. She looked at the busy director of the street office without saying a word.

Standing straight and waiting for the other person's free time is the minimum requirement.

"Comrade, who are you?"

Director Wang of the Street Office saw a young man in military uniform standing there with an upright posture, and he silently gave him a thumbs up in his heart. Not bad, he knew that he was busy waiting and did not show any impatience.

"Hello, Director. I am He Yukai, who has just changed jobs. I am reporting to the Street Office. Here is my letter of introduction."

He Yukai looked at the director who asked the question and immediately introduced himself quickly and concisely.

"You are He Yukai. I have received the notice. The district chief called to explain. Your home is in Nanluoguxiang. You were born as a guard for the old leader. Lao Li in our family is considered to be the front and back guard. We are all family. You can call me Aunt Wang. Don't be polite."

As Director Wang spoke, he handed He Yukai the letter of introduction to the steel rolling mill.

The words in the district chief's phone call revealed the old leader's importance, and he specifically asked his secretary to call the district chief to give instructions.

The district chief called me personally. If I didn't understand the meaning of this, I would have wasted all these years.

"Okay Auntie Wang, I've been away from Nanluoguxiang for almost ten years, and I don't know what's going on with me."

After hearing what Director Wang said, He Yukai immediately understood what he meant. You and my husband, Mr. Li, are the front and rear guards, and we are family.

"Is your father's name He Daqing?"

"Yes, Aunt Wang."

"Alas, your father is also a character. He left his children who were not yet adults and ran away to Baocheng with a widow.

Your brother came to get a letter of introduction, but he must have not seen the person. Now that you are back, your brother and sister will be better off."

Director Wang complained about He Daqing, saying that there was no such thing as him abandoning his children and running to another place for a widow.

Director Wang also had a headache when seeing He Yuzhu taking care of his younger sister.

The street office at that time had great power and sometimes even had to take charge of weddings and funerals. This was also a special feature!

He Yukai smiled and said nothing. It was not that he didn't want to say anything, but that he couldn't say it. A son should not talk about his father's faults. How should He Yukai respond?
You can't just accompany Director Wang to complain about your own father, right? It's okay between father and son, but in front of outsiders, you still have to protect what you should protect, right?

He Yukai was embarrassed because He Daqing's behavior was not decent. He wanted to defend him, but he didn't know how to start.

After the greetings, Director Wang saw that it was getting late, so he prepared to send He Yukai home.

After all, he is the old leader's bodyguard, so I'd better send him over myself and ask the manager of Yard 98 to take good care of him.

Director Wang didn't expect that there was a big drama waiting for him. If he had known, he might not have wanted to go there, as it would have been too embarrassing.

Such a thing actually happened in the courtyard house under his jurisdiction, and was caught by He Yukai, but he still thought about asking the manager for care.

The Siheyuan is holding a general meeting
“The main reason we are holding a meeting here today is because the Jia family, the third uncle’s family, and our family are all facing a shortage of housing.

The He family in the compound occupies two large rooms and one wing. Let's discuss how to help the residents with housing shortages and solve their housing problems. Now let's ask a prestigious old man to speak."

Liu Haizhong didn't plan to make a long speech today. He wanted to focus on grabbing the house later. Liu Haizhong was determined to win.

Thinking about the layout of the courtyard house, I feel that my family has a good chance of getting this house.

Besides, I have been planning this for a long time and have won over many people to speak for me. I feel confident that everything is under control.

“Everyone knows that Jia Dongxu is getting married soon, and he is living in the same room with Jia Zhangshi.

The second uncle's family has two rooms for five people, and Guangqi is also facing the situation of getting married.

There are six people in the third uncle's family, and they have two side rooms, so housing is very tight.

There are two people in Sha Zhu's family, two large rooms and one ear room. Today we will discuss how to solve the housing conflict.

Silly Zhu, this is your house after all, tell me what you think."

"Ideas? What ideas? Our house was not allocated by the street office or the steel mill.

It was the private property purchased by He Daqing. What does it have to do with you whether we have many houses or not?

If you want to occupy my He family’s house, you have to step over me.

The two large rooms belong to my eldest brother and me, and the side room is for rainwater, so no one can take it away."

He Yuzhu had not been brainwashed by Yi Zhonghai at this time. Although he had received some favors from Yi Li, it did not mean that he had to give up his house to others. Where would he live after his eldest brother came?
"You little bastard, your shitty elder brother might be dead and his body can't even be found. He Yushui will get married sooner or later. Why does a money-loser need a single room?
Our family is in such a difficult situation, do you still have any sympathy?

Our Dongxu had no place to live after he got married, so he quickly gave up the house.

Otherwise, I will kick you and your sister out of our courtyard. Don’t blame me for not reminding you.”

When Jia Zhang heard what He Yuzhu said, she exploded instantly. What's the matter? You are a fool and you are carrying a money-losing burden. How can you be so ignorant?

When Jia Zhang heard that He Yuzhu disagreed, she started to rant without caring about other people's opinions.

Yi Zhonghai felt something was wrong when he saw He Yuzhu's eyes were red and his fists were clenched.

Jia Zhangshi is such a pig. Doesn’t she know that Sha Zhu has respected his elder brother since he was a child?

You said your goal was the house, why did you provoke this stubborn donkey?

If the matter becomes a big deal and the subdistrict office investigates it, won't I be the one to bear the brunt of the consequences?
"Silly Zhu, don't bother with your Aunt Jia, women have long hair but short knowledge.

In this way, you can lend out your house first, and when your eldest brother comes back, the Jia family will return it to you.

Now it is important for your brother Dongxu to get married. We should live in the same courtyard. We should help each other and respect our elders, so that the reputation of our excellent courtyard can be maintained.

We don’t know when your elder brother will come back, and now the house is just empty. Isn’t it a waste of resources?
We need to be frugal, Shazhu, you need to consider the overall situation." The other people in the compound, who did not care about the matter, were all whispering and even gloating.

When He Daqing was around, the food in the He family was so good that no one could take advantage of He Daqing.

Now with the passing of He Daqing, the He family has fallen into decline and they are no longer able to say good things.

Even if he wanted to say it, he dared not do so because of Yi Zhonghai's tyranny.

Yi Zhonghai is a seventh-level fitter at the steel rolling mill, and most of the residents in this compound are workers at the steel rolling mill.

If you offend Yi Zhonghai, he has many disciples and they can create some obstacles for you and make your life very uncomfortable.

As a technical expert, those leaders will give some face to him. Besides, Yi Zhonghai has always had a good personality, and many people are convinced by what he says.

Liu Haizhong felt unhappy when he heard Yi Zhonghai say this. Why?

If we only solve the Jia family’s problem, then what about Guangqi in our family?
Yan Bugui was worried because he knew he could not compete.

Before the meeting, I had already withdrawn from the competition at the cost of Liu Haizhong's twenty yuan. Now I can just watch the show.

The advantage has already been taken, why bother to participate? Isn't it better to just watch the show quietly?

"Uncle, I think it's enough for Sha Zhu and his sister to live in one side room, so the two big rooms in the east wing should be given up. I'll give Sha Zhu an extra 200 yuan, and that's it."

Liu Haizhong spoke in a generous manner, as if he had helped He Yuzhu a lot. Many people looked at him with disdain.

The house has a land deed and a title deed, and it is the east wing, where the head of the family lives.

It can be seen that the area and layout of the house are still very good, but the way they eat is too ugly.

No one noticed Director Wang and He Yukai standing behind, and no one cared about He Yushui who was crying out of fear, or He Yuzhu who was squatting there in pain.

No one asked the He family for their opinion, and the decision was made.

When He Yukai first entered the courtyard, he got his own golden finger, which was a portable space of more than 100 square meters with only one function, which was to collect anything within a radius of 100 meters.

Of course, he couldn’t collect living things. After studying for a while, He Yukai knew what he needed to do.

He Yukai looked at Director Wang as if to say: Aunt Wang, is this the excellent courtyard house you introduced to me on the way? How did you bully my younger brother and sister?

"Auntie Wang, can our steward deprive others of their property at will? Is his power so great?
I remember that when we were in the southwest, the Military Control Commission did not have such great power.

It seems that what I learned in the army is no longer up to date. I still need to study harder!
As far as I know, the manager's only duty is to assist in identifying enemy spies and mediate neighborhood disputes.

Judging from what happened just now, this manager can directly deprive our family of our house.

As expected, there is knowledge to be gained from paying attention to everything. Today I learned that we are in a new society, and we cannot protect our legal rights? "

He Yukai is no pushover. He gave Director Wang a soft rejection, leaving Director Wang unable to raise his head.

Director Wang couldn't help but watch Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong arguing endlessly.

After all, you are the managers elected by me, can you please give me some face?

If I hadn’t come here today, I wouldn’t have seen such a scene.

I didn't expect that Yi Zhonghai, who usually behaves uprightly, is actually a thief and a prostitute at heart.

"Okay, okay, I've learned something today. Is this how you three act as your superiors?

Liu Haizhong, tell me, who gave you the confidence that you could take over such a big house of the He family with only 200 yuan?

And Yi Zhonghai, are you really such a boss?
As the boss of the compound, you participated in seizing other people's houses. Who gave you the right and who asked you to do this?

Just because the other person's master doesn't agree, you're accusing him of destroying unity?

Yan Bugui, what are you doing sitting there without saying a word? Others don't know their behavior. Don't you know it?

You are a teacher after all, so why do you condone their despicable behavior? I think you'd better step down and let others take over."

Everyone looked back and found that Director Wang, with a sullen face, was standing behind the crowd, and He Yukai was following him.

Yi Zhonghai thought to himself, "Oh no!" Liu Haizhong's legs went weak, not to mention Yan Bugui. This was the beginning of their final destruction. When did Director Wang come?
Not knowing how much they heard, Yi Zhonghai and the other two hurried over.

The crowd made way for him and turned around to see He Yukai standing there watching coldly.

He Yukai didn't say anything, just looked at Yi Zhonghai and the other two.

If I don't make you feel heartbroken today, then it would be a waste of my time watching such a wonderful show.

"Big Brother"

When He Yuzhu saw his elder brother, he seemed to have a lot of grievances to express.

As if I couldn't describe it all, tears started to well up in my eyes.

He Yukai felt extremely sad. Zhuzi had suffered a lot of injustice in this yard.

Otherwise, he wouldn't cry. He would rather die than cry. Although he is a bit of a jerk,

What He Yukai knew was the story that happened after 65, and how Zhuzi gradually became a foul-mouthed, reckless man who liked to solve problems with his fists.

In such an environment, coupled with the tongue-tied He Yuzhu, it would be strange if he could deal with these beasts.
Since you have occupied someone else's body, you must take on their responsibilities.

The environment of this courtyard is really hard to describe.

"Zhu Zi, wait a minute. Let's talk after we finish the work. I'll leave this to my brother."

He Yukai suppressed his anger and comforted He Yuzhu.

There is a huge difference between watching it live and watching a TV series. Only when you are there can you truly feel the indifference and malice of the people around you.

"Auntie Wang, what happened tonight really opened my eyes. I thought that after thousands and thousands of people like me sacrificed themselves, the people are now in charge, standing up, and walking hand in hand into a new society.

But in this old city, the best place in the country, I saw such a dramatic scene.

I was braving the hail of bullets in the front, but someone was enjoying comfort in the back and bullying my family.

There are organizations with plans to divide up my family's property. I just don't believe it. There is no place to reason. Everyone has the responsibility to curb the spread and restoration of this feudal patriarchal style."

When Director Wang heard what He Yukai said, his heart skipped a beat.

These words are too harsh. If they get out, I will be in big trouble.

She also didn't expect that the advanced courtyard house that she approved would actually dig such a big pit for her.

Fortunately, I came here tonight, otherwise I don’t know which direction things would develop!
Director Wang did not doubt He Yukai's ability. If the district chief and others knew about this, he would definitely be in trouble.
