Siheyuan: Fighting against the beasts under the pressure of the system

As he said this, he took out 5 cents from his pocket.

"I'm not in good health right now and can't run in broad daylight. Otherwise, I'll go by myself. This money is for your errands, but you have to keep it a secret, otherwise your mother will take it back."

When Liu Guangtian saw the 5 cents, he was very excited.

"Brother Hui, don't worry. I will keep this a secret. Don't worry! I will definitely make the money."

That's fine. He handed the money to Guangtian. Guangtian nodded, ran out of the house quickly and ran towards the yard.

Zhang Minghui immediately sneered. He didn't expect that the eye drops he had applied at noon would produce effects that evening.

"I have to say it, Yi Zhonghai, you are really cooperative. This time I will embarrass you."

I went to the living room to wash my face and refresh myself. I went out and got a small stool, and saw a few people in the backyard walking towards the middle yard.

"Uncle Sun, Uncle Wang, you are all off work."

"Minghui, how have you been these past two days? Judging from your mental state, you seem to be feeling much better."

"It's OK. I've recovered a little in the past two days, but I still need some time to recover."

"That's right. Curing a disease is like pulling a thread. You have to do it slowly," said Aunt Sun.

"By the way, Uncle Sun, what is the content of this meeting? I heard from Guangtian that it is quite important and everyone in the hospital must attend."

"I just got off work, so I don't know."

At this time, Xu Damao also came out of the house.

Xu Damao is only 20 years old now, nearly 1 meters tall, with a big horse face, fair skin, a small mustache, and a pair of thieving eyes that always look around, always at young girls and wives.

However, Xu Damao is still young and has just been converted to a formal employee. He is the type who has the desire but not the courage to do something evil and has not matured yet.

This is a vindictive person. He is very smooth in dealing with people, just like his father Xu Fugui. However, he is far inferior to his father in terms of moral character.

"Brother Mao, I haven't seen you these days. Maybe you went to the countryside!"

"It's different now that you're a regular employee. You're one of the best young people in our hospital. When are you getting married? I'm looking forward to attending your wedding!"

Hearing Zhang Minghui's praise, Xu Damao raised his head high with a smile on his face.

"We have to wait. My family said we can talk about it after I've been working for a while."

"Yes, it's easy for a regular employee to find a wife. Besides, your job is one of the eight major employees, so it's only natural for you to find a good wife."

"Hey, Minghui, you are now very eloquent. You look much better now. I don't need to worry about your health anymore."

"So many things happened at home, which made me mature all of a sudden. My parents passed away, so I have to support this family. I can't let this family collapse. Don't you think so, Brother Mao?"

"That's right, you are great, take care of your body first."

Xu Damao looked at Zhang Minghui with sympathy.

They grew up in the same courtyard, so no matter what, there is still some affection between them. What's more, this courtyard just doesn't like Sha Zhu and doesn't get along with him, but they don't have so much to say about others.

.....

Chatting and laughing, they came to the central courtyard together and each found a place to sit down.

Zhang Minghui was careful and found a place to sit down not far from Jia Zhang.

Xu Damao did not sit down, but leaned against the veranda so that he could run away at any time. This is called being able to attack when advancing and defend when retreating, and it is the experience gained from long-term struggles.

In the middle courtyard, near the main house, a square table has been set up, with a long bench on each side behind it.

At this time, there were already 70 or 80 people gathered. The men gathered together to smoke and brag, while the women had already started chatting about family matters.

The children were running wildly on the verandas and in the open spaces.

After about 5 minutes, Yan Jiefang knocked on the window of the old man's house.

Just at this moment, Liu Guangtian ran back panting, and nodded at Zhang Minghui at the edge of the corridor, indicating that it had been done.

Three uncles came out from the eldest uncle's house one after another, all holding large teapots. Yan Fugui first put the large teapot on the table, and the three of them sat down one after another.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong is 45 years old this year.

Now he is fat, with big ears, a fat head and a big belly. This official-loving guy always takes the lead. He is a fool with nothing in his mind, but he always dreams of becoming an official.

Therefore, every time we held a meeting, we would act in a very pretentious manner, imitating the behavior of the factory leaders.

Liu Haizhong stood up and faced everyone, looking around with a full leadership demeanor.

"The meeting is now in session. We have called everyone to this meeting for only one purpose: to solve the Jia family's food problem. Now, the eldest uncle will speak."

The eldest uncle Yi Zhonghai is 46 years old this year. He has a dignified appearance and a dignified spirit. He seems to be fair and upright and can take care of all aspects of the courtyard.

"But everyone has a scale in their heart, and they know exactly what everyone is like."

The old man looked around and saw that everyone was looking at him, so he raised his voice.

"Everyone knows that our courtyard is a civilized courtyard. Living in this courtyard, everyone must help each other and help every family overcome difficulties."

“This is the situation now.”

"Jia Dongxu found me today. He is the only one in his family of five who has a food ration. He is a heavy laborer and does not have enough food for himself, let alone to feed his family of five."

"Hearing this, I was heartbroken, so I decided to hold a meeting of the whole hospital to donate money to the Jia family to help them get through this difficult time."

"This also shows the care and concern among neighbors in our hospital. If anyone has difficulties in the future, others will help you."

Jia Zhang stood up immediately, her triangular eyes scanning the surroundings, her face full of flesh, as if conveying a message, that is, let's see who dares not to donate.

..........

Every household below was discussing in low voices, and no one spoke loudly.

People are not well off these days, and even their own families can't get enough to eat! They still donate money to others, and their faces are full of misery.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, the old man became a little anxious.

"So I'll take the lead and help the Jia family. I'll donate 10 yuan first."

"Lao Liu, you are the second uncle in our hospital. Look, I donated 10 yuan, what will you do?"

The second uncle reluctantly took out a big black ten, and the Jia family was in trouble.

"Of course I am the second uncle and I will donate 10 yuan as well."

I thought to myself that Lao Yi was superior to me in the steel rolling mill, and I must not let an old man suppress me in the yard again. I must be on the same level as Lao Yi.

But he doesn't know that his behavior will only make people call him stupid.

The third uncle is 45 years old this year. He looks very bookish, thin and wears a pair of glasses. He is good at calculating but he still has a bottom line.

"As everyone knows, my monthly salary is 27.5 yuan. It's not easy to support a family of six. I will donate 1 yuan!"
