Siheyuan: A blessed place to start

Chapter 194 Paying for Tickets

In order to get more tangible benefits, the Jia family didn't care about Uncle Yi and voted for Dongxu to someone else. Jia Zhang was still waiting at home, and she would change her mind as long as someone came to her house again.

During this dinner, everyone in the courtyard was eating in peace.

Only Xiao Weiguo enjoyed the meal of pork elbow with rock sugar and some cold dishes to relieve the heat.

"Weiguo, let me tell you something. Today, Old Zhang's wife and the second and third aunts all came to my house to see me."

Qin Jingru blinked her eyes and wanted to laugh when she mentioned this.

Because the two former aunts just happened to run into each other, they both understood each other's purpose and could only greet each other with awkward smiles.

"What were they sent? Did you accept them?"

Looking at Xiao Weiguo's suspicious eyes, Qin Jingru put down her chopsticks and hugged her shoulders.

"Who am I? I'm Section Chief Xiao's wife, and I'm also a newly promoted auntie. How can I take advantage of them?"

"You have just been promoted to a great master. If you accept the gift, you will be caught. I am not stupid."

Qin Jingru said proudly, and Xiao Weiguo also put down his chopsticks and applauded her.

"Okay. Just based on your ideological awareness, you deserve the title of Auntie."

"Haha, an old lady? Doesn't that mean you're calling me old?"

The two of them joked with each other, looking forward to tonight's election session.

After dinner, everyone gathered in the middle courtyard to watch the show.

The few companies participating in the election were still busy among the crowd.

Especially Lao Yi, who hinted in a roundabout way that many people had chosen Lao Zhang, felt sad.

When Guangtian saw that almost everyone was there, he quickly ran to call Xiao Weiguo.

"Brother Xiao, Brother Xiao! Everyone is here, let's have the meeting!"

Hearing the voice, Qin Jingru came to open the door with her big belly, "I'm not saying anything bad to you in broad daylight, why are you still calling me Brother Xiao? You should call me Uncle!"

Liu Guangtian's eyes rolled around and he slapped the back of his head. "Oh my, I deserve a beating for my bad memory. Are the aunts and uncles done with their work? Almost everyone in the courtyard has gathered now, so we can have the meeting!"

Qin Jingru pursed her lips and smiled secretly. It was not that she felt the title of "auntie" was so noble, but she had become an auntie at such a young age. It seemed a bit awkward at first, but after getting used to it, she found it a bit funny.

Perhaps it was because of the mismatch between age and the name. Qin Jingru could still respond when she was called by half-grown children like Liu Guangtian, but it was really painful to hear her being called by older people.

She is not as shameless as Xiao Weiguo... No, she is not as thick-skinned as him.

"Your uncle is going to the toilet. He will be gone soon. Let them wait for a while."

"Okay! Then I'll evacuate the aunt first!"

Qin Jingru's heart was pounding when she heard the old lady calling her. She covered her chest and looked towards the toilet.

Xiao Weiguo came out looking refreshed.

"He's a great uncle, everyone in the hospital is waiting for you to attend the meeting!"

"Didn't you tell them I was taking a shit? You don't know the rules."

Seeing Xiao Weiguo making such a fuss, Qin Jingru was worried for the people in the hospital. Who knows what kind of trouble will happen in this election!

Then, under the gaze of everyone, an old man and an old woman made a grand appearance.

With his hands in his pockets and a pair of charming almond-shaped eyes, his aura is fully open.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he won the favor of many fans.

Especially Lou Xiao'e. In the past, she would not participate in every meeting unless someone specifically went to find her.

But today he took the initiative to bring a small stool and waited, his eyes always following Xiao Weiguo.

Xu Damao, who was sitting nearby, not only did not notice anything, but he also felt good about himself and canvassed for votes with the people next to him.

Yan Fugui was sitting on the right side of the octagonal table. When he saw Xiao Weiguo coming, he shrugged his eyes, his heart was in turmoil and his worry was written all over his face.

"Old Yan, this is not right! Aren't you going to participate in the election of Second Master? Why are you sitting here?"

This question confused Yan Fugui. His small eyes showed big questions.

who am I?

Where should I be?

"Weiguo, no matter what, I am still the third uncle now. If I don't sit here, who will?"

Old Yan started to use the literary style, quibbling over every word.

Xiao Weiguo didn't indulge him either. "Uncle No. 3, the reason why we are changing the blood is mainly to let the people be the masters of the country. Everything should be fair and just! Since you are a candidate, you should sit down like everyone else, unless you don't want to compete for the position of Uncle No. 2!"

Seeing Xiao Weiguo's slightly sharp eyes, and looking around to see that everyone was staring at him eagerly, Yan Laoxi reluctantly walked off the stage.

It was my first time sitting among the crowd, and I felt a little uncomfortable.

However, Xiao Weiguo believes that he will get used to it soon.

"Okay, it looks like everyone has already decided on their candidate, so let's not waste time and hand in the tickets with your names on them one by one. Any tickets submitted later will be invalid!"

After that, Xiao Weiguo asked Liu Guangtian to go to his house to find a paper box, and then everyone would personally throw the ticket in their hand into the box.

"Hey, come back! Take the ticket. Are you over 18? What are you doing with this? Take it away now!"

The second son of the Zhang family secretly made an identical paper bill and extorted one dollar from Xu Damao. But when he was about to throw it in, Xiao Weiguo discovered it and threw it out.

At this time, Xu Damao's face was even uglier than his. Xu Damao, who only wanted one dollar, jumped up directly.

"Give me the money now!"

"What money? Who are you? Where am I..."

With that said, the second kid ran away, and Xu Damao was so angry that he wanted to curse!

Yi Zhonghai was still secretly laughing on the side. Xu Damao, ah Xu Damao, you got blackmailed for being a boss, you deserve it!

Everyone here handed in their tickets one after another, and Jia Zhang handed in two at a time.

Xiao Weiguo frowned, "What's going on?"

Jia Zhang snorted with disdain, "You still call yourself an elder, how can you care about the people in the courtyard? It's just Dongxu and I!"

Xiao Weiguo suddenly realized and smiled awkwardly, "Oh, look at what I wrote. Dongxu is paralyzed in bed and it's inconvenient for him to get up and walk around. It's normal for you to hand it in on his behalf."

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo specially marked Jia Dongxu's ticket.

Jia Zhang was confused and wanted to stop him, but Xiao Weiguo wrote his name and directly mixed the tickets into the box, leaving her with no way to find them.

"What are you doing? Why should my Dongxu's ticket be marked with a special mark?"

As she spoke, Jia Zhang glanced at Yi Zhonghai.

She promised that the two votes in their family must be cast for him. It would be terrible if he found out something was wrong.

"Isn't Dongxu's situation special? He didn't hand it in personally, so I have to supervise him. Otherwise, I will become a decoration, right?"

As he spoke, Xiao Weiguo began to stir the food in the box in a vortex-like manner again, which made Jia Zhang so angry that she wanted to curse.

But because Lao Yi was watching him, he had to keep quiet and wait for an opportunity.
