The world of film and television started from optical film

In the evening, Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Shazhu gathered together for the first time and came to Wang Zhong's house.

"First Master, Second Master, Brother Zhu, what's wrong with this, such a big battle?" Wang Zhong looked at the three people with serious faces, invited them into the room and sat down, and asked with a smile.

Qin Jingru made hot tea and brought it to the table, then turned and went into the bathroom to wash clothes.

"Wang Zhong, although you are the director of the factory now, you are also a member of our courtyard. If something happens in our courtyard, do you have to take care of it?" Before Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, Liu Haizhong couldn't help it.

Wang Zhong said: "Second uncle, of course I am a member of our courtyard. If there are matters in the courtyard that I can take care of, of course I will not ignore them."

Liu Haizhong said: "Okay, it will be done with your words."

Yi Zhonghai was finally willing to speak: "Wang Zhong, you live across from the third uncle's house. No one in our courtyard should know more about his family's affairs than you!"

Wang Zhong said: "Master, if you have anything to say, just say it."

Silly Zhu beside him couldn't wait any longer and spoke before Yi Zhonghai could answer: "What the First Master means is that we can't let the Third Master's family continue to be in such chaos."

Wang Zhong asked: "First Master, Second Master, what are you two planning to do now?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "What else can we do? At least help Third Aunt take care of the funeral arrangements first. If they are allowed to continue making trouble like this, the reputation of our hospital will be ruined."

"Master, it's not difficult to help Third Aunt take care of her funeral affairs. But the crux of the problem now is that Third Aunt has her own children and they won't take care of it. Although we live in the same courtyard, we are outsiders after all. This matter doesn't matter. Feelings and reasons are a bit over-the-top, right?"

Wang Zhong hadn't finished his words yet: "It would be fine if nothing happens, but if something happens, sir, do you think it can be easily solved by Yan liberating the tempers of these brothers?"

As soon as Wang Zhong said these words, not only Yi Zhonghai, but also Liu Haizhong and Sha Zhu showed embarrassment on their faces.

Every one of the brothers and sisters in Lao Yan's family has imitated their father's calculating temperament. Except for the eldest brother, Yan Jiecheng, who has a little bit of humanity, the rest of them are all better than their predecessors.

"No way!" Yi Zhonghai said this with some hesitation, obviously lacking any confidence.

"Isn't it?" Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "The third aunt is their biological mother. She worked hard to conceive for ten months before giving birth to them one by one. She raised them from childhood to adulthood with all kinds of hardships, so they can even argue about the funeral. If things like this happen in the future, Sir, can you guarantee it?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless by Wang Zhong's question.

Liu Haizhong also had a look of emotion on his face, but he thought of his similarly unfilial sons, and for a moment, he had mixed feelings.

Shazhu, who has always had good ideas and many clever ideas, suddenly ran out of ideas. If this had happened before, Shazhu would have gone to Lao Yan's house long ago with his fists as big as sandbags, but since then he has been with Ran Qiu. Ye got married, had three sons and a daughter, and had been friends with Wang Zhong all year round. His fiery temper was no longer what it used to be.

Wang Zhongdao: "As the saying goes, it is difficult for upright officials to deal with household affairs. Although there have been a lot of jokes about this matter at the Third Master's house, we are all outsiders after all, so how can we interfere."

"Besides, Yan Jiecheng and his brothers are as old as each other. Do the two uncles think these simple principles don't exist for their brothers?"

Silly Zhu answered in a deep voice: "It's not that they don't know, they just don't care."

In other words, the only thing they care about is money and their own interests. In their eyes, the kindness of parents in raising children is worthless, and there is no so-called responsibility to bear.

"We can't just watch like this!" Yi Zhonghai said with a serious face: "We all live in the same courtyard, and we can't see each other without looking up. And if we let them continue to make trouble like this, the reputation of our courtyard will be ruined. !”

"Master, some things can't be solved just by talking. If we could talk things through, Yan Jiefang and his three brothers wouldn't have brought people to demolish the earthquake shelter in our courtyard during the last earthquake. ”

"The third uncle and the third aunt were both fine at that time! Under the circumstances at that time, they could ignore the third uncle and the third aunt and insist on demolishing the seismic shed, now! Humph!"

Under the circumstances at that time, aftershocks could come at any time, and the weather was unpredictable. Yan Jiefang and the others were all young people, but Yan Fugui and the third aunt were both in their sixties. They were already old and had weak bodies. How can it be compared with young people?

If it really rains again, the third uncle and the third aunt will lose half their lives if their bodies are soaked.

But in that case, the Yan Jiefang brothers didn't even bother to visit and take care of their parents when they came back, but they also dismantled the earthquake shelter built by the people in the courtyard and moved the wood away. If they hadn't been stopped by Wang Zhong and others , I don’t know what it will become in the end.

"Hey!" Yi Zhonghai sighed, with a look of dejection on his face.

"If it doesn't work, let's lend the money to Lao Yan first and deal with it beforehand after explaining it to her mother. We can talk about the rest later."

Qin Huairu also walked in while Yi Zhonghai was talking.

Qin Huairu arrived late and did not hear Wang Zhong's initial words.

Wang Zhong shook his head and explained again: "The problem now is not whether we borrow money or not. Although the loss of the third uncle's family is indeed huge this time, it is impossible that we don't even have the money to pay for the third aunt's funeral, right? Yan Jiecheng I have also worked in restaurants with Yu Li for several years, and I have earned a lot of money."

"Wang Zhong is right!" Silly Zhu also nodded and said with deep approval: "How much money can be spent on organizing funeral arrangements? It is their own mother who is dying now. Let alone the rich, even if they have no money, they still have to sell iron. Let’s take care of the funeral arrangements!”

Not to mention anything else, even though the electrical appliances in the third uncle's house are worth a lot, there are still some left, and you can make a lot of money when you resell them.

Among the Yan family's brothers and sisters, none of them own a house outside, and Yu Li's sister Yu Haitang is now taking over their hotpot restaurant, but the monthly dividends still go to them.

How could he not even have the money to arrange funeral arrangements? Even if he really had no money, it would be simpler. As long as the person was buried in peace, it wouldn't cost much.

Everyone knows the truth, and the Yan family brothers and sisters also know it, but things still developed like this, and everyone knows why.

Qin Huairu said: "Wang Zhong, you have many ideas, so please help me think of a way. The third aunt's body is still lying in the hospital, and the brothers are quarreling over the funeral arrangements. What do you think of the third uncle?" How uncomfortable it must be in my heart, if we don’t help, what if...”

"What Qin Huairu said makes sense." Liu Haizhong felt a little offended and said with emotion: "Didn't you also give the idea to the two unfilial sons in my family at the beginning? You are well-informed and smart. His mind works very fast, so please help me think of a way to help Lao Yan!"

Yi Zhonghai also hurriedly said: "Yes, Wang Zhong, you have many ideas, please help me think of any good ideas!"

Wang Zhong sighed and said: "First uncle, second uncle, cousin, my family and the third uncle's house live across the door. If I really have any idea, can I not help? If nothing else, let's just say that these brothers are so stupid. It’s so noisy that it’s boring for me to live here.”

"But as the old saying goes, it's hard for an upright official to take care of household chores. If a cow doesn't drink water, we can't just hold our heads down!"

"Is there really no good way?" Qin Huairu's eyes flickered with a bit of expectation.

Wang Zhong had no choice but to say: "Actually, after all, it's just because of the word money. The reason why these brothers are quarreling like this is because it costs money to take care of the third aunt's funeral! Those three uncles We all know the virtues of our son, so can we not quarrel?"

Silly Zhu immediately answered: "If money can solve things, it's not a problem. There are many things in this world that are more important than money."

"Money is something external to the body. If you don't bring it with you in life, you won't take it with you in death. But not everyone sees it as clearly as Brother Zhu does."

Wang Zhong shook his head and said: "Today I am the third aunt. We have contributed money and effort to help arrange the funeral arrangements, but what about next time? There are so many family members in our courtyard. If everyone follows the same example, what will happen? It seems that there is such a commotion and we are waiting for us to help. What should we do then? Help or not?

If we help, people may not remember our good deeds, but if we don't help, I'm afraid the gossip will start. Let me tell you, this trend cannot last, let alone spread! "

Everyone looked stern when they heard this.

Silent Shaoqing, Silly Zhu asked Wang Zhong: "Then what other good ideas do you have?"

After Wang Zhong thought for a moment, he said: "If it doesn't work, let's go to the street and ask the street office to come forward."

"No, you can't go to the street!" As soon as Wang Zhong finished speaking, Yi Zhonghai said impatiently: "If this matter is brought to the street, the reputation of our hospital will be completely ruined."

"Master, is our hospital's reputation more important, or is it more important to nip this unhealthy trend in the cradle?" Facing Wang Zhong's rhetorical question, Yi Zhonghai didn't know how to answer, and chose silence again.

"Is there no other way?" Liu Haizhong also hesitated. Everyone just didn’t want to alert the street office, so they came to see Wang Zhong.

Wang Zhong said: "I have no idea anyway. If you have any good ideas, I will definitely help you if I can."

Everyone was immediately in trouble.

"Why don't you let Lao Yan make a will like me?" After a moment of silence, Liu Haizhong suddenly spoke.

"This..." Yi Zhonghai hesitated.

Qin Huairu said: "Can the third uncle agree? He wants to save face so much, I'm afraid he won't be able to lose his face!"

Silly Zhu said unceremoniously: "What kind of face does the third uncle have now? Let me tell you, this matter should be settled as soon as possible. Otherwise, if we let the brothers continue to make trouble like this, there might be another trouble." Coming."

"I think the second uncle's idea is a good one." Qin Jingru, who came out of the kitchen and served tea and water to everyone, suddenly said: "The brothers are making such a fuss, don't they just not want to pay for it? The third uncle's pension is quite large. , that house can be worth a lot of money."

Silly Zhu said: "Brothers Yan Jiecheng are so stubborn that they will give in for the sake of the house."

Yi Zhonghai's eyes flickered, wondering what he was thinking.

This is indeed the truth when everyone sums it up.

But before they could decide, there was a knock on the door of Wang Zhong's house again.

"Who!"

"It's me, Third Master!" Yan Fugui's voice came from outside the door.

Qin Jingru hurriedly opened the door and invited Yan Fugui into the house.

As soon as Yan Fugui entered the room, he was stunned for a moment when he saw the people sitting around the living room. A trace of uneasiness flashed on his face, but he soon regained his composure.

"Everyone is here!"

"Lao Yan (x2)"

"The third uncle (·····)"

Everyone greeted Yan Fugui. Yan Fugui seemed to have made up his mind. He shook his teeth and said to Wang Zhong: "Wang Zhong, I want you to borrow some money and help your third aunt take care of the funeral arrangements." ”

As soon as Yan Fugui said these words, the room instantly became quiet.

······

The weather is getting colder and colder, the snow on the ground has not melted for a long time, and the sky and the earth are vast. Pedestrians on the street are wearing coats, thick cotton-padded jackets, fur hats with ears, their cheeks wrapped, and various kinds of scarves around their necks. Scarves and thick gloves are worn on the hands, some are made of wool or sewn from leather, and the styles are different.

The stove was set up at home as early as a month ago. The white iron pipes were newly purchased and Qin Jingru knocked them out with her own hands and replaced them, leading directly to the outside of the house.

Nowadays, there is no heating in the courtyard, so we can only keep warm by burning stoves and kangs.

The water tank that had been gathering dust for most of the year was also moved out of the warehouse and placed in the kitchen to store water, so as to avoid the discomfort when the water pipe cannot release water when it is time to use it.

Accompanied by a roar of cars, an old-fashioned truck with a compartment covered with thick raincloth stopped in front of the courtyard gate. The driver and the two young guys on the passenger seat opened the door and got out of the car, got into the compartment, and worked together to pull out a silver box from the compartment. big barrel.

The big round barrel is as tall as one person, and it can be easily lifted by two people, but it is not heavy.

"I'm going to call the door." The young man who got off the passenger seat told the driver carrying the cylinder. He walked into the courtyard with a small box and a bundle of angle steel on his shoulder. He walked straight to the door of the east wing of the front yard and knocked on the door. The door rang.

"Who is it? The door is not closed!"

"Sister-in-law, it's me, Xiao Zhang!" The person who came was none other than the driver, Xiao Zhang. Even though he heard that the door was open, Xiao Zhang did not go in immediately.

"It's Xiao Zhang, come in quickly!" Qin Jingru opened the curtain behind the door and opened the door. Seeing Xiao Zhang carrying it on his shoulders and holding it in his hands, she couldn't help but asked doubtfully: "What are you holding? "

"Sister-in-law, it is an aluminum alloy water storage bucket made by our factory. The factory director asked me to take it back and install it first and try to use it."

"Bucket?" Qin Jingru looked at the large silver bucket carried by the young man behind Xiao Zhang. Her eyes widened subconsciously, her pupils shrank, and she said in surprise: "So big?"

Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "Do you want to store water? Of course it needs to be bigger."

Qin Jingru hurriedly invited the two of them into the house.

Such a big movement had already alerted the neighbors, and several women who lived in the front yard came over curiously.

"Jingru, what good things are you getting at your house? Can you fit it in this house?" Qin Jingru is also the wife of the factory director, and she has no airs. She gets along well with the housewives in the courtyard. Yes, two women who usually had a good relationship with Qin Jingru came over to visit out of curiosity.

"I don't know if it's a bucket!" Qin Jingru shook her head and said with a confused expression.

"Such a big bucket? Doesn't it take up space?" The woman also looked at the big shiny silver bucket with curiosity. Not to mention, the color looked a bit like silver.

Xiao Zhang smiled and explained: "Sister-in-law, the factory director has told me to put this bucket in your attic. He has reserved the place in advance."

The two put their things in the house, then went out and got into the car, carrying in several water pipes and a welding machine.

Several women watched Xiao Zhang and the driver working hard, delivering the cylinder, angle steel, and water pipes to the reserved loft on the top of the toilet. They turned on the power and used a welder to weld the angle steel brackets together. With quick hands and feet, it didn't take long to weld the bracket, put the electronics prepared in advance, and put the bucket on it.

"Sister-in-law, the bucket has been installed, but the pipe factory director has told me to install it myself when he comes back."

"Is this good?" Qin Jingru hadn't reacted yet.

Xiao Zhang smiled and said: "Okay, sister-in-law, let's go first."

"Let's have a meal before we leave!" Qin Jingru hurriedly persuaded the two of them to stay.

"No, we still have something to do!"

Xiao Zhang and the young man driving the car hurried away without giving Qin Jingru a chance to stay.

Several women curiously followed Qin Jingru up to the attic and looked at the silver bucket lying in the attic, their eyes full of curiosity.

"How much water can such a big bucket hold?"

"It's winter, it's cold outside, and the water pipes are frozen. If you have such a big bucket at home, you won't have to worry about running out of water even if the pipes are frozen every day."

"How about I say he is the director of the factory..."

Listening to the compliments from her neighbors, the smile on Qin Jingru's face became brighter and brighter.
