On the other side of the door is the courtyard

Chapter 5 The legendary hospital meeting
The next day I woke up and went straight to the Children's Publishing House.

When I arrived at the door of the publishing house, I bothered the concierge and asked for the phone number of my mother’s comrade-in-arms, Editor Zhao.

"Aunt Zhao, my Wang Meide's son, Yang Yi, has brought a novel for you to read. Please ask the concierge to let me come up to see you."

Then he handed the phone to the guard, and Editor Zhao asked the guard to let Yang Yi go up by himself.

"Xiaoyi, I haven't seen you for half a year, and you are so tall now."

"Hello Aunt Zhao. Long time no see. My mother also asked me to say hello to you."

After chatting for a while, Yang Yi took out the original manuscript of "Xiao Bing Zhang Ga".

Editor Zhao reviewed it for the first time and put down the manuscript after about half an hour.

"It's good, Xiaoyi. The writing is really good. It's lively, interesting and witty. It's really good."

"That's it, Xiaoyi. I'll show it to the editor-in-chief and review it carefully. I'll get back to you in a week. I will help you run it carefully."

"Then please leave it to Aunt Zhao, thank you Aunt Zhao."

Editor Zhao sent Yang Yi to the door and waved goodbye.

Returning to the courtyard, it seems that the time-travel mission set for myself this month has been basically completed.Let's just mess it up in the next few days.Take out a can of ice coke and drink it happily.

After taking a nap, I took out my high school books and continued to review the past and learn new things until before dinner.

"Brother Zhuzi, come and make dinner."

"okay!"

Silly Zhu said while making dinner,

"Xiaoyi, I just said that there will be a hospital-wide meeting tonight. If you're not busy, have a good dinner and come over and listen."

The famous scene of the whole hospital meeting!I don’t know if some kind of farm or system will be activated after checking in.Yang Yi thought secretly.

"Well, let's go together after dinner."

We called Yu Yu, had dinner together, and walked slowly to the venue.

Xu Damao has arrived.Seeing Yang Yi arriving, he immediately greeted her warmly,

"Xiao Yi, come sit here. My bench is spacious."

So Sha Zhu hugged Yu Yu and squeezed on a bench with Yang Yi and Xu Damao.

Neighbors also came one after another, and some people greeted Yang Yi.
"Xiaoyi, have you written any new songs recently?"

"It's not that fast! You need inspiration to write a song. Once the inspiration comes, you can write a song in a few minutes. Without inspiration, you can't hold it in for several days."

Use metaphysics + vulgar language to confuse the questioner.Yang Yi complained in her heart,

"If I let you know that I wrote a novel, the royalties might be several thousand. I guess most of the neighbors would be jealous."

Yang Yi only told her relatives about writing a book after she decided to succeed.Forget it for everyone else.Don't worry about the few and the uneven. This is a principle summarized over thousands of years.

After the three uncles took their seats, the chatter in the crowd became much quieter.It seems that these three old people are quite prestigious.

Liu Haizhong was the first to speak, followed by a flood of words.Then Yi Zhonghai spoke, mainly saying two things.

The first thing is related to fire prevention and theft prevention. Everyone is asked to be careful about strangers and notify the three uncles in the courtyard immediately if there is any problem.

The second thing is to collect statistics from the street. The sewer pipes can be re-arranged and can be directly entered into the home, but the user will have to bear a cost of about 100 yuan.If necessary, register with the third uncle, and the deadline will be three days later.Yang Yi almost shed tears after hearing this.Before this era, dry toilets had disappeared in cities for a long time!After arriving here, the most unaccustomed thing is going to the toilet and taking a shower.The house is directly connected to the sewer, so at least going to the toilet is solved.No more going to the dry toilet outside the hospital to be attacked by gas.As for taking a bath, I can "accidentally" install a coal-fired water circulation heater later on, and the bathing problem will be solved.

The hospital-wide meeting ended harmoniously, at least in Yang Yi's opinion, it was much more harmonious than the community owners' meetings in later generations.

After the meeting, Yang Yi immediately went to find the third uncle.

"Teacher Yan, my family is signing up for the sewer. In addition, my parents are busy with work these days. Can you see if I can help my parents sign up at your place?"

The third uncle is somewhat satisfied with Yang Yi, a top student, calling him his teacher.

"Okay. Report it to you and your parents. I guess you are the only one in our hospital who can sign up. The sewer fee is only 100. In the future, you have to pay a single-family water meter and it will cost another 20. A first-level worker Less than half a year’s salary!”

Yang Yi was a little embarrassed and didn't know how to answer.Is it difficult to tell them that my family is not short of money?Although he would definitely be jealous if his family pretended to be others in the courtyard, Yang Yi would never compromise on this matter.

When Yan Bugui saw that Yang Yi didn't answer, he knew that what he said was inappropriate, so he immediately changed the topic.
"Xiaoyi, why don't you call us three uncles like everyone else?"

"That's right. Teacher Yan, you also know that my hometown is in the south. In our place, calling someone uncle means calling them old man. I felt it was disrespectful, so I changed the title."

A half-truth and half-false explanation can be regarded as giving the three uncles a reasonable reason.

Wake up the next day.The high school previews are basically finished, and there is not much else to do. It is not a problem to stay at home every day until school starts.So Yang Yi decided to go out for a walk.

Wandering around until the afternoon, it was already time for the factory to get off work, and I saw Curly Jia Dongxu from a distance.Jia Dongxu didn't seem to have any intention of going home. Instead, he walked towards a small alley with a sneaky look.

What's so shameful about this!

Yang Yi decided to follow from a distance.

A few minutes later, Jia Dongxu came to a scrap collection stall and took out a few scrap parts from his backpack.Then he and the stall owner seemed to be arguing about something, probably about the recycling price.

Without saying anything, Yang Yi took out an iPad from the space, blocked most of it with his clothes, leaving only one lens, and took pictures of Jia Dongxu for a long time.Even Jia Dongxu's action of taking money was clearly captured.

Yang Yi's attitude toward these neighbors is that it's okay to just be okay on the surface.Yang Yi, who had little food and drink, didn't care to share some with them.But if one day someone really offends him, he must be able to kill him with a hammer.

After returning home, while having dinner with Sha Zhu Yuyu, Yang Yi asked Sha Zhu casually, seemingly casually,

"Brother Zhuzhu, I have seen Brother Dongxu come home very late several times recently. Is your steel rolling mill very busy recently?"

"Hey, you're not very busy." Shazhu lowered his voice and continued,

"This guy has been hanging out with some second-rate guys in the factory recently, and he's also addicted to gambling. Xiaoyi, you are a good student, but you have to stay away from him."

"Ah! Then Aunt Zhang and Sister-in-law Jia found out and didn't tell him?"

"What kind of knowledge do these two people from the countryside have? Jia Dongxu said they were quite happy after winning money."

"Then Master Yi doesn't know? Isn't it strange that two rural women don't know how to gamble and lose money? Master Yi should understand. And isn't Brother Dongxu his apprentice?"

"It's all a matter among young people. Who would tell the elders like these old people!"

now it's right.Many people know it, but no one reminds them. They just watch the joke.Just like in the original trajectory, no one reminded Shazhu of the bad reputation of helping the widow.

Don’t say that everyone is indifferent or anything like that.The same goes for future generations. Most people will laugh at things that have nothing to do with them, with the mentality of "none of my business."

Jia Dongxu probably started losing money recently, so he reached out to used parts.But this guy is probably not very courageous, and he only dares to take small bits and pieces.

After that, a few more days passed.There's less than a week left before school starts.It’s also time to return to 2023 once a month.

　When I used to read books, I despised the KKK.Only after writing it myself did I realize that typing is so tiring.I really envy my daughter and son their typing speed!
