Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Seeing that Old Liu was in an awkward position, Yan Fugui started to smooth things over.

"Okay Xu Damao, watch your mouth. Your incident has only happened a few days ago. Don't talk nonsense!"

Xu Damao opened his eyes wide and wanted to make an explanation, but Yan Fugui had already started counting the votes.

"The minority obeys the majority, so now let's start electing the other two managers. Tell us who you think is more suitable, or recommend yourself. If you think you are qualified, please sign up."

Yan Fugui became more and more excited as he spoke; the view from his seat in the middle was really good and he quite enjoyed this self-centered feeling.

Old Zhang glanced at Xiao Weiguo and saw that he didn't move. Then he stood up and gave an opening speech.

"Everyone, old neighbors know that I wanted to participate in the steward's selection a few years ago, but I was under great pressure from work and couldn't do both, so I had to give up the idea."

"But now I have a stable job and no worries about my family, so I want to do something practical for everyone. If you don't object to me being the uncle, then I will definitely do my best to do practical things for you neighbors!"

Lao Zhang recommended himself confidently, and the neighbors began to discuss him in groups of two or three.

But Yan Fugui's expression was even uglier than Lao Yi's at this time.

We finally got the boss gone, but now here comes another one who is quite the boss!

It’s not your turn even if it’s based on seniority!

Old Yan looked at everyone with a stern face. Although the response was good, he was determined not to let others take the place of the uncle.

I have finally made it through, I can't give up.

Xu Damao looked around and saw that Old Wang in the backyard seemed eager to try, but was pulled back by his wife. Several households in the middle yard also seemed willing, so he became anxious.

"I'm also signing up to run for the election! The older members of our hospital lack vitality. As a young person of the new generation, I will join with advanced ideas and will definitely bring unexpected surprises to everyone."

"Surprise? I think it's more like shock!"

"If Xu Damao can do it, then I can do it too!" Yan Jiecheng jumped up to show his dissatisfaction.

Seeing this trend, Chen Dapao also raised his hands and said, "If Yan Jiecheng can do it, then I can do it too! I'm younger than both of them, and my ideas are more advanced!"

"Dad, they're all on, why don't we also..."

The eldest son of the Wang family in the front yard was very envious, after all, the news of being elected as the manager spread to the right.

But his father slapped him hard on the head, which was like a heavy blow to the head.

"Don't get involved in this. If they can become the managers, this hospital will have a worse reputation!"

"Yes, Dad. If being a hooligan is allowed, then our yard will be full of hooligans in the future!"

Hearing these discussions, Xu Damao's face lengthened even more. Lao Yi was also waiting silently in the dark. If Xu Damao, a troublemaker, could be elected, then he would surely be able to make a comeback again.

"Xu Damao definitely can't do it. Besides Lao Zhang, who else can we..."

"If it weren't for Third Master, why can't I do it? Didn't we explain the matter of Fengxian clearly? If I were a gangster, I would have been arrested and taught a lesson long ago. Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

Xiao Weiguo saw that the time was right and spoke slowly, "The manager must do practical things for the people in the hospital and seek benefits. What can you bring to everyone?"

Hearing this, Xu Damao was so excited that his mouth stretched to the back of his head.

"I can show a few movies for everyone, why don't you choose me?"

Someone in the crowd said, "Tsk, how can a movie be so lively and interesting?"

Xiao Weiguo also took the opportunity to speak up, "Movies can broaden our horizons and enrich our spare time, but what's most important for us right now is to have enough food and clothing! Who can be in the mood to watch a movie on an empty stomach?"

"That's right, Chief Xiao is right. Having enough food and clothing is a necessity in our lives. If we can't even guarantee this, how can we have spiritual nourishment? It's all nonsense!"

Aunt Li's words left Xu Damao speechless.

But Xiao Weiguo's identity was brought up.

"In fact, Section Chief Xiao is the only one in the hospital who is capable in this area. I think you should also run for election."

"Yes, although Section Chief Xiao is young, he is a leader in the factory. I heard that he is also supervising the work of the branch factory. He is young, promising and energetic. I support Section Chief Xiao!"

Several aunts took the lead in expressing their opinions, and then Xu Damao and others suddenly realized, wow, it turns out they were waiting here!

Lao Zhang was also a little panicked, but fortunately he chose two people, otherwise he might not have had a chance.

Xiao Weiguo shook his head with a sunny look on his face. "Thank you for your kindness. Everyone knows that the factory's purchases are all subject to quotas. I am just running errands! But I have resources in this area. If I find out which supply and marketing cooperative has more meat in the future, I will let you know as soon as I get the news in advance."

"Although my abilities are limited, I have deep feelings for our compound. I have moved in for many years now, and I have been hearing rumors these days that our compound is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, demons and ghosts. Some of these rumors are too shameful to even speak out. Just hearing them makes me feel ashamed."

"So for the sake of our compound's reputation, and so that you can hold your heads up high once you leave this compound, I've decided... to run for the position of Grand Uncle. If you neighbors support me, that would be great. If you don't, then we'll see in the future. Let's see if, under my leadership, our compound can get rid of its bad reputation and live a comfortable life!"

Xiao Weiguo spoke eloquently and passionately, and everyone heard the practical benefits and felt that he was a good candidate.

Yan Fugui curled his lips when he heard this and kindly reminded, "Weiguo, you are the campaign manager, not the boss!"

"I will naturally take over the title of First Uncle. Don't forget, I am the experienced Third Uncle! From now on, everyone can just call me First Uncle!"

Yan Fugui also turned on the shameless mode. Whoever has shame in this yard will suffer!

A big face will die of overeating, a small face will die of starvation.

"Third uncle, if you have the potential to be a big uncle, you should have stopped your family from participating in the fight instead of just watching from the sidelines. As a result, both families were sent to the police station. Do you think you are responsible? The street office thought you were a teacher and had decent character, so they didn't investigate further. But if they really investigate, you will end up like Old Yi!"

Xiao Weiguo spoke with great confidence, making Yan Fugui angry but unable to speak.

He admitted that he was indeed selfish that day. If he had not stopped them, his family would have been beaten to a pulp by the Liu family.

I still feel indignant when I think about this incident!

"But I have experience. I have been sitting here for so many years, and it is my turn according to seniority."

"Listen everyone, what kind of ideological awareness is this? Does this mean that Yan Jiecheng will inherit the throne in the future? I say you don't have to be the third uncle anymore. Let's have a major change and completely renovate the courtyard!"

Hearing what Xiao Weiguo said, Yan Laoxi was very dissatisfied.

"No, I mean I'm older, right..."

"Then if you say so, why not just ask the deaf old lady in the backyard to take care of things!"

Xiao Weiguo continued to criticize Yan Fugui, and Yan Fugui completely shut up.
