Siheyuan: no worries about food and clothing at the beginning

Chapter 45
"Old Yi, do you have any problem with my thinking?"

The third master looked at Yi Zhonghai and said expectantly.

The uncle thought for a long time and said, "I don't think it's very appropriate."

The uncle was resting at home and enjoying his leisure time on Sunday.

But inexplicably, he was pulled out by the third master to discuss things.

Moreover, the discussion was about the idea of ​​people in the yard sharing meals together.

In the eyes of the uncle, this is simply an impossible idea. After all, in his opinion, it is completely taking advantage of those who have a lot of food.

And if he supports this idea, then everyone will definitely take advantage of him, and he will get the big head because he is the initiator.

The third master said, "The people in the yard cook and eat together, so that everyone can get through the current difficulties together. What's wrong?"

The uncle heard this and expressed his thoughts, "Let's not talk about the entanglement of interests after the partnership. How to persuade the people in the yard to eat together is a problem."

Basically, the uncle's words have already expressed his attitude, that is, he is not optimistic and he does not agree with it.

The third master obviously anticipated this situation, so he expressed his thoughts on the road.

The third uncle said, "We, the three uncles, can take the lead and let a few families who are more difficult to eat together with us."

Then at the beginning, we had to eat a lot, so that we could unite all the families in the yard.

As for the dispute of interests, don't you believe that anyone under my business computer will have an opinion? "

At this time, the first master had to praise the third master as worthy of being a master of calculating people.

First let others see the benefits of partnership and then let others join in.

At that time, others had already handed in the food, but the food could not be left to the residents who had already handed in the food.

The first master couldn't figure out why the third master wanted to encourage the people in the yard to eat together.

So he expressed his doubts, "Old Yan, why do you suddenly have such thoughts?"

The third master heard this and said, "Didn't the above call on us to help each other?
Then I was thinking about how we should respond to the call, so I came up with this way.”

The uncle obviously didn't believe this statement, so he opened his mouth to expose it and said, "We have known each other for so long, there is no need for you to pretend to be so righteous in front of me.

Just tell me what your real purpose is."

When the third uncle heard this, he also told his truth, "It's not that it's too difficult at home, so I came up with this method."

The uncle didn't believe it when he heard this, no matter how hard it was, he wouldn't starve to death, and it wasn't because he wanted to take advantage of the yard.

The uncle said, "I still feel that this matter is inappropriate."

When the third master heard this, could he not understand that the first master had already rejected him clearly.

But how could he not prepare a trump card?
"Old Yi, let me ask you a question, have you been feeling a bit out of touch with supporting the Jia family recently?"

The uncle frowned slightly when he heard this, and he felt very uncomfortable when he thought of Jia Zhang's aggressiveness.

Seeing that Yi Zhonghai was silent, the third uncle continued to pursue the victory and said, "As long as you facilitate this matter, you don't need to support the Jia family anymore.

And Lao Yi, you still need money in your hands so you won’t panic, otherwise you won’t be able to hold Jia Dongxu in your old age.”

The old man didn’t feel much about the first half of what he said, but he was very sensitive to the second half.

The uncle thought for a while and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, I agree to this matter, but I can't come forward to preside over this matter"

The third master heard this and said, "Don't worry, I have already thought about it, I believe Lao Liu is willing to take over this matter."

In the eyes of the third master, with Liu Haizhong's character, he wished to take the lead in something and enjoy the addiction of being a leader.

……

Liu Haizhong looked at the first and third masters who came in and said, "Why are you two looking for me?"

The third uncle told the second uncle his thoughts.

The second uncle said, "This is indeed a good idea, but I refuse"

He is not a fool in bangs, if he does not do well in this matter, he will offend others.

The third master said, "We did this in response to the call from above. If you led this matter to complete this matter, wouldn't you be praised by the above?"

The third uncle's words completely grasped the second uncle's words, after all, he wanted to be an official even in his dreams.

If he, Liu Haizhong, had accomplished this task, wouldn't Director Wang have taken a fancy to his ability, and he, Liu Haizhong, would be able to take the place of the old man just around the corner.

The third master continued to say, "And with your old Liu's prestige in the yard, who else can do this matter except you?"

The second uncle heard this and said, "What you said makes sense. No one can complete this matter except me."

The third master was overjoyed when he heard this, "Old Liu, you agreed."

The second uncle said, "How can I not agree to such a method that is conducive to harmonious coexistence in the yard, but what should we do?"

The third uncle told the second uncle how to tell the first uncle.

The second uncle patted his legs when he heard this and said, "It has to be Lao Yanli's brains.

But now there is a problem. We want to attract all people to join forces.

Then we need to be able to get some rich food, but can we get it? "

As soon as these words came out, all three of them fell silent.

The uncle said, "We can go to the pigeon market and take a look. After all, every household now exchanges fine grains for coarse grains, and meat for coarse grains."

The second uncle said, "This is indeed the only way now."

So the three uncles began to discuss how much food the three of them would give in exchange.

Among them, it is not the first and third masters but the second uncle who accounted for the majority. It can be seen that he really wants to facilitate this matter sincerely.

After the discussion, the first and third masters returned to their homes to prepare food.

The second aunt said with some worry, "Our family produces so much food, how can we survive?"

The second uncle said, "It doesn't make sense to you, anyway, you just need to listen to me."

The second aunt didn't say anything when she heard this. After all, the second uncle basically made the decisions in the family, and she couldn't get a word in.

……

"This time at the general meeting, the main discussion is how to respond to the call from above to help each other"

The second uncle said in an official accent.

Everyone was a little puzzled why the second uncle started today, didn't it always start with the first uncle in the past?
And what is mutual help, isn't it just using food from one's own family to help other people's family?

So no one in the yard echoed Liu Haizhong's words.

At this time, the support arranged by the three uncles said, "Second uncle, how should we respond to the call from above?"

The second uncle coughed and said, "As for how to respond to the call from above, my suggestion is partnership."

Li Lin was a little puzzled. It didn't seem like the second uncle could think of it, but it seemed that the third uncle could think of it.

Isn't the partnership just to take advantage of it? This fits the character of the third master.

Everyone has different reactions when they hear this.

People who were almost out of food immediately raised their hands and feet in approval when they heard this, but what they showed when the conditions were good was complete resistance.

"I absolutely agree with the decision made by the second uncle, because this is completely in response to the call from above."

"Second uncle, I support you too"

Seeing this scene, the conditions are good, and the teeth itch immediately.

When Xu Damao heard this, he said directly
"Second uncle, I don't think partnership is a good thing. Isn't this using those of us who are doing well to subsidize those who are not doing well?"

Seeing someone in his early years, they all refused when the conditions were good.

"Yeah, Second Uncle, it's not fair. If it's really a partnership, wouldn't someone else take advantage of us?"

Even Shazhu also stood on the side with good conditions. His life was not very difficult. After all, he was a cook, and he had to stand on the side with good conditions both emotionally and rationally.

The second uncle obviously expected this situation long ago, so he said, "This is all voluntary for us, and we will never force anyone."

After hearing this, everyone fell silent.

However, people with poor conditions are worried about whether a group of people with poor conditions can really succeed in partnership?

The second uncle said, "Now how many people are willing to eat together as a partner, let me explain that the three of us have already decided to partner."

Hearing that some conditions here are neither bad nor good, he was shaken. You must know that the income of the three uncles is not low.

Especially the second uncle and the first uncle, if they have the bottom line, no matter how bad they are, they won't be too bad.

But they thought too much, except for the second uncle, the first and third uncles were all shrewd.

The first uncle chose the partnership because he didn't want to give the Jia family so much food, while the third uncle chose the partnership purely to take advantage.

The good conditions looked at the three uncles in surprise. Isn't this purely letting others take advantage?

Several families raised their hands one after another, and they were all families with poor conditions in the yard.

The Jia family was also among them, because the uncle talked to them alone.

To be precise, the three uncles have talked to all the residents with poor conditions. This kind of situation is of no harm to them, so they naturally agreed.

The second uncle was not angry when he saw this scene. After all, this was only the first step, and there was a second step.

The second uncle said, "Is there no other family besides these few?"

Seeing that no one raised their hands anymore, the second uncle said, "If you are willing to eat together, then give your food to the third uncle. This meeting is over, everyone should leave."

When everyone heard this, they didn't stay any longer, and went back to their homes.

Every family went back to the yard to discuss the content of the conference.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiaoe returned home.

Lou Xiaoe said, "Da Mao, why don't we go have dinner with the people in the yard?"

Lou Xiao'e doesn't have so many thoughts of calculating others, all she has is to help each other through this difficulty.

Xu Damao heard this and said

"Why does our family have to eat together with others, the two of us are not short of food"

Xu Damao has enjoyed a good life since he was with Lou Xiao'e. His idle head hurts and he goes to live in partnership with others. Isn't this reducing his own food?
Lou Xiaoe said, "But doesn't this reflect the virtue of helping each other in our yard?"

Xu Damao knew that Lou Xiao'e had never had a hard time.

"Anyway, you just have to look back and you'll know what it's going to look like."

Xu Damao didn't want to explain too much, after all, no amount of explanation would be as powerful as the facts.

Because he also explained to Lou Xiao'e, but Lou Xiao'e said that he thought too badly of others.

Jia Dongxu looked at his mother's unhappy expression and said, "Didn't mother just agree to eat together with the uncle, so why not be unhappy?"

When Jia Zhang heard this, he said angrily, "Then Yi Zhonghai didn't have any kindness at all, he just didn't want to give our family so much food, that's why he asked our family to eat together with others.

I really don't know why you agreed, son."

Jia Dongxu said, "Mother, Master didn't promise us that the food will not be bad."

When Jia Zhang heard this, she said, "Forget it, you have grown up, and it is time for you to be the master of the family.

But my mother will let you see what the consequences of not listening to the old man will look like."

From Jia Zhang's point of view, it is obvious that there will be conflicts when the partnership eats together.

And based on her understanding of the first and third uncles.

He dared to believe that there would definitely be a set waiting for the people in the yard to get in next.

When Jia Dongxu heard this, he said directly:

"Mom, my master is not as bad as you think"

When Jia Zhang heard this, you said, "You are my son, and I don't want to have any quarrel with you.

But I just want to tell you that later on you will see with your own eyes what this partnership will become, and then you will understand what I mean.

It is also at that time that you will understand what a good old master in your mind looks like."

Jia Dongxu said, "This partnership is very good, everyone helps each other."

When Jia Zhang heard this, he said disdainfully, "The original intention of the partnership must be very good, but it can't stand everyone's mind."

He, Jia Zhang, lives in the yard with a child, and is very sensitive to everyone's words and behaviors.

So this has trained her to be able to speculate on other people's psychology, but she usually speculates on the bad side of others.
