Get something in the courtyard

After getting off work in the afternoon, everyone was informed that a donation meeting for the deaf old lady would be held in the evening.This donation meeting was supported by the neighborhood office.

Yi Zhonghai also hinted that everyone should behave actively when the time comes and not lose the face of Siheyuan.

Everyone was very dissatisfied with the donation, but once they heard that the street office agreed, they didn't dare to complain.It’s just that everyone’s face doesn’t look good.

If you eavesdrop under the windows of each house, you will definitely hear the complaints of each household, as well as discussions on how much to donate.

Tian Youfu and others went to Wang Kun's house to inquire about the news.

"Xiao'e, you are in the street office, do you know what the donation is?"

Lou Xiao'e did not hide anything and told the news she got from Director Wang.

Several people asked Wang Kun what to do?
Wang Kun said: "There is nothing to worry about. Donations are voluntary, and Aunt Wang will not force everyone. You can just donate according to your own heart, as much as you want."

Xu Damao asked: "Wang Kun, please stop shopping. How much do you plan to donate?"

"Why should I donate? Donate as soon as the deaf old lady sprains her foot. What will happen if she sprains her foot every day in the future? I won't donate a penny because I can't tolerate her problem."

With Wang Kun taking the lead, several people also shouted not to donate.

Yi Zhonghai was very busy, constantly persuading various companies and giving others hints in advance.Qin Huairu stood at the door of the middle courtyard, staring at Wang Kun's home.

Seeing Tian Youfu and others going to Wang Kun's home, she turned around and went to find Yi Zhonghai.

After listening to her report, Yi Zhonghai had an unhappy look on his face: "Huai Ru, it's okay. I don't believe that Wang Kun dared not give face to the donation meeting hosted by Director Wang himself.

This time I am showing my face in front of Director Wang. As long as it is done well this time, I will donate to your family next time.Huai Ru, you must also behave well. "

Qin Huairu burst into tears immediately. He only made a profit of one yuan by doing business with Xu Damao. Today, he made even less with Guo Dabo, only fifty cents.Plus her salary is not enough for ten yuan.

Yi Zhonghai actually wanted her to donate five yuan. Wouldn't this cost her her life?
"Master, our family's life is really unsustainable. I only received a salary of eight yuan this month. I am willing to donate money to the deaf old lady, but after donating, how can our family's life continue? Pass."

If this were the case before, Yi Zhonghai would directly say that he would return the money to Qin Huairu.But now, he didn't dare to say this.Director Wang has already told him that the donation money will be handled by the sub-district office.

There was no other way. Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and took out three yuan: "Huairu, I have three more yuan here. You can use it for emergencies. When the street office gives the money to the godmother, I will give it to the godmother. You need to come out."

Qin Huairu happily agreed without doubting Yi Zhonghai's words.She worked hard to do business with others to make such a small profit.If you shed a few tears in front of Yi Zhonghai, you can get three yuan. This is a good deal.
After leaving Yi Zhonghai, Qin Huairu went to find Sha Zhu.When he arrived in front of Silly Zhu, he still shed tears, crying that his life could not go on.She thought Shazhu would happily give her five yuan and help make up for the money.

Unexpectedly, Silly Zhu refused: "Sister Qin, I have promised the first man and the old lady to donate all the money. Only with me taking the lead can Xu Damao and Wang Kun donate more money.

I really can't lend it to you.Otherwise, I will take you to find the first uncle. "

Qin Huairu secretly hated himself for acting too late, and quickly stopped Si Zhu.She just got three yuan from Yi Zhonghai, and it would be a bit ugly to let Yi Zhonghai know that she was plotting against Silly Zhu.

"Silly Zhu, don't go. The first master is very busy now, so don't disturb him. It won't be too late to go find the first master after a few days. Fortunately, the salary I paid hasn't been spent yet."

Silly Zhu thought it right and did not go to Yi Zhonghai.

Soon, it was time for the meeting, and everyone gathered in the front yard, waiting for Director Wang's arrival.

A smile appeared on Yi Zhonghai's face. He visited the people in the middle courtyard and the backyard, hinting many times that they should not be stingy or leave a bad impression on Director Wang.

I believe that with his hint, those people will not dare to cause trouble.

As for Wang Kun and others, he didn't care.Everyone else gave Director Wang face, but if Wang Kun didn't, Director Wang would definitely have a bad impression of him.In his heart, Yi Zhonghai hoped that Wang Kun would donate more, but also hoped that Wang Kun would not donate a penny and anger Director Wang.

In short, it is very contradictory.

The conflicting thoughts made him ignore the abnormalities of Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui.

Soon, Director Wang came with someone.The three uncles had to give up the podium.

Director Wang said some words, explained the reasons for agreeing to donate, and also emphasized the principle of voluntary donation.

People in the courtyard were furious when they heard Yi Zhonghai's reasons for applying for donations.But the deaf old lady raised the cane in her hand and knocked on the table pretending to be unintentional, and those people became more honest.

According to the convention of meetings in the courtyard, Liu Haizhong would rush to speak, but not this time.

Yi Zhonghai didn't care, he knew Liu Haizhong very well.Don't look at Liu Haizhong who only wants to be an official, but he doesn't speak smoothly when he meets the leaders.

He stood up and was the first to say: "The deaf old lady is an elder in our courtyard. She takes great care of us juniors. Now that she is old, she fell again. As juniors, we cannot ignore her.

Honoring your elders is a very good habit.I hope that our courtyard is full of filial people.As a senior citizen, I took the lead in donating 30 yuan. "

Yi Zhonghai pondered these words several times and asked the deaf old lady for reference.I originally wanted to mention the word "ancestor", that would be a deterrent.The deaf old lady said that the person from the street office was here and could not refuse the offer.

After saying these words, Yi Zhonghai specially showed three big black cards for everyone to see clearly before putting them into the donation box.

A person next to Director Wang made a note in the notebook.

Next, everyone naturally focused their attention on bangs.Many people are worried about Liu Haizhong comparing with Yi Zhonghai.

Liu Haizhong felt uncomfortable, and after digging for a long time, he took out a dollar from his pocket: "Well, Director Wang just said that donations are voluntary. I only have one dollar in my pocket, so just donate one dollar. "

The faces of Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady suddenly turned dark.They never expected that Liu Haizhong would just take out one dollar.

Even if he didn't want to compete with Yi Zhonghai, he still had to spend 20 yuan.

"Old Liu, did you say something wrong?"

Liu Haizhong said calmly: "Lao Yi, I was right. You also saw that I only had one dollar with me."

In front of Director Wang, Yi Zhonghai had a lot of things to say, but he couldn't help it: "Even if you don't give me face, you still have to give Director Wang one. No matter what, you can't just pay one dollar."

Director Wang knocked on the table with dissatisfaction: "Yi Zhonghai, pay attention to your wording. What do you mean by giving me face? I have just emphasized that the donation meeting is voluntary. You can donate any amount.

I am here just to fulfill the responsibilities of the sub-district office, not to threaten everyone. "

Yi Zhonghai glanced at Director Wang with dissatisfaction and sat aside angrily.

Yan Bugui then took out [-] cents, let everyone see clearly, and then threw it into the donation box.

With these two uncles taking the lead, even if Silly Zhu put in all his worth, a huge sum of 33 yuan, he could not raise the amount of donation.

Qin Huai happily took out thirty cents and threw it into the donation box. (End of chapter)
