Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

The next day, Yan Jiefang came to the community office early, hoping to communicate with the person in charge. He knew this might be his only chance to continue his small business.

"Hello, I would like to know if there are any legal stalls for rent in the community? I am willing to follow the regulations." Yan Jiefang asked the staff sincerely.

The staff appreciated Yan Jiefang's attitude and said, "We will discuss with the community management department to see if there is a suitable stall."

A few days later, the community office responded and agreed to set up a small market in a corner of the community, allowing small vendors like Yan Jiefang to operate there, but they must abide by community regulations.

Yan Jiefang was very happy to hear the news: "Great, now I can continue my small business."

However, Aunt Zhang was not happy about the news. She was worried that the small market would destroy the order and environment of the community.

"Yan Jiefang, do you really think it is a good idea to set up a small market in the community?" Aunt Zhang said to Yan Jiefang on the first day of the small market.

Yan Jiefang responded with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, I understand your concerns. But I believe that as long as we abide by the regulations, this small market can not only provide a livelihood for me, but also provide convenience for community residents."

Aunt Zhang still had some doubts: "I hope you can remember that you can't forget the rules just because of temporary convenience."

Yan Jiefang nodded seriously: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I will never cause trouble to the community."

As time went by, Yan Jiefang's small business gradually gained recognition from the community. His stall not only provided residents with fresh fruits and vegetables, but also added vitality to the community.

"Auntie Zhang, look, how is my stall now?" Yan Jiefang asked confidently.

Aunt Zhang nodded: "Well, it's really good. You're doing very well. Keep it up."

Aunt Li also smiled and said, "Yan Jiefang, your fruit is really fresh. We all like it very much."

Yan Jiefang showed a satisfied smile on his face: "Thank you all for your support, I will continue to work hard."

However, Aunt Zhang was still skeptical about Yan Jiefang's small business, and she decided to go to the small market to supervise it in person.

"Yan Jiefang, I came here specially to see your stall today." Aunt Zhang said to Yan Jiefang in the small market.

Yan Jiefang responded with a smile: "Aunt Zhang, you are welcome. I promise that my stall will comply with all regulations."

Aunt Zhang looked around and found that Yan Jiefang's stall was indeed neat and tidy, but she was still a little worried: "You must remember that you can't forget the rules just because of temporary convenience."

Yan Jiefang nodded seriously: "Aunt Zhang, don't worry, I will never cause trouble to the community."

As time went by, Aunt Zhang gradually found that Yan Jiefang's small business really brought convenience to the community. Residents can buy fresh fruits and vegetables at their doorstep, and Yan Jiefang always abides by the community regulations and keeps the stall clean.

"Yan Jiefang, I admit that I had some misunderstandings about you before," Aunt Zhang said during a casual conversation. "Your small business has indeed brought convenience to the community."

Yan Jiefang was a little surprised: "Aunt Zhang, thank you for your understanding. I will continue to work hard to provide better services to community residents."

Aunt Zhang spoke first: "I understand the difficulties faced by Yan Jiefang and other small vendors, but their stalls do cause some problems for our community. We need to find a way to help them while maintaining community order."

Aunt Li expressed her support: "I think Yan Jiefang's fruit is very fresh and the price is fair. We should give them a chance to see if they can operate under the premise of complying with the regulations."

Yan Jiefang sat in a corner of the conference room, listening to everyone's discussion, feeling a little nervous. He knew this was a critical moment for him to fight for the legal right to operate.

"Neighbors, I am very grateful for Aunt Li's support." Yan Jiefang stood up and said sincerely, "I assure you that I will strictly abide by the community regulations and will not cause any trouble to the community."

Director Wang, the head of the community management department, cleared his throat and began to speak: "We understand the different opinions of the residents. Our goal is to find a balance that can meet the daily needs of residents while maintaining order in the community."

Aunt Zhang offered her own suggestion: "I suggest that we could set up a special market area for small vendors to operate there. This would be convenient for residents while also controlling the number of stalls."

Aunt Li added: "We can also set up some basic hygiene and safety regulations to ensure the environment of the market."

After hearing this, Yan Jiefang was somewhat excited: "Director Wang, Aunt Zhang, Aunt Li, I strongly support this proposal. I am willing to abide by all regulations and ensure that my stall is clean and tidy."

Director Wang nodded. "This proposal sounds good. We will find a suitable location in the community to set up a market area. At the same time, we will also formulate some basic operating regulations."

The atmosphere of the meeting gradually became heated, and residents put forward their own suggestions and ideas. Some residents suggested setting up a supervision mechanism to ensure that small vendors abide by the regulations; others suggested holding market activities regularly to increase the vitality of the market.

"I think we can set up a market management committee, with representatives of residents and small vendors participating to oversee the operation of the market," suggested Aunt Zhang.

Aunt Li agreed: "This will give both parties the opportunity to participate in the management of the market and increase transparency."

Yan Jiefang put forward his own suggestion: "I suggest that we can set up a market opening day and open the market on fixed days a week, so that we can meet the needs of residents without affecting the daily life of the community."

Director Wang listened carefully to the discussion and concluded: "Today's discussion is very meaningful. We will integrate everyone's opinions and formulate a detailed market management plan. I hope we can work together to create a harmonious community environment."

After the meeting, residents left the activity center with satisfied smiles on their faces. Aunt Zhang and Aunt Li walked over to Yan Jiefang to express their congratulations.

"Yan Jiefang, we believe you will do a great job." Aunt Zhang said.

"Yes, we are all looking forward to your fruit stall." Aunt Li added with a smile.

Yan Jiefang looked at the two aunts gratefully: "Thank you for your support, I will definitely not let you down."
