Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

Today is the weekend, and it is a big event for Yi Zhonghai. Not only does he need to clearly establish the rules of a civilized courtyard house, which will further increase his weight in the courtyard house. Another thing is to take in an apprentice to take care of him in his old age, which is more important than anything else!

So I got up early today, called Liu Haizhong and went to Yan Fugui's house.

If we talk about the author of these rules and regulations, it has to be the third uncle Yan Fugui. After all, he is a teacher. Not only is his writing easy to understand, it is also practical.

However, Yi Zhonghai is still a little confused. Why are there too many words used in this reward?

Seeing Yi Zhonghai didn't reply for a long time, Yan Fugui asked, "Will you read it like this later?"

Liu Haizhong said: "Alright! We all know your craftsmanship, Old Yan. Let's all give you a thumbs up!"

Yan Fuguile’s little eyes can’t see anymore!

Yi Zhonghai said: "Then notify the meeting! We will hold it in the Intermediate Court!"

Yi Zhonghai knocked on Sha Zhu's door: "Zhu, is Zhu up?"

After knocking several times, Sha Zhu slowly opened the door: "Uncle, what's up so early?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Today we hold a meeting to establish the rules of a civilized courtyard house."

Sha Zhu yawned and asked, "When will it open?"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Open now, hurry up and put on your clothes and get your stuff ready!"

Sha Zhu nodded: "Okay, I'll go now"

Yi Zhonghai asked, "What did you do last night? You looked so listless?"

Sha Zhu yawned and said, "Yu Shui has been asking me questions all night long. It's strange that I can be energetic!"

Yi Zhonghai said: "Okay, hurry up and clean up!"

Sha Zhu went back to the house and quickly put on his clothes, then went out to move tables and chairs for the three uncles.

Yi Zhonghai looked around and said, "Almost everyone has arrived! Let's start the meeting now. Everyone knows that this time we are selecting civilized courtyard houses. If you want this honor, you have to follow the rules. Please let the third uncle speak!"

Yan Fugui picked up the paper he had written long ago and began to read: "The first is hygiene. Spitting, throwing garbage into the yard, and splashing dirty water are not allowed."

"The second thing is to speak and behave in a civilized manner. It's not good to be willing to take action like Sha Zhu!"

Sha Zhu quickly replied: "Okay, Uncle San, I will definitely be a good citizen from now on! I will use my mouth instead of my fists!"

Ha ha......

Yan Fugui said: "This is what I mean by speaking politely. Don't always use dirty words! Right? The truth does not lie in the loudness of the voice, right?"

"The third one is that there is order of seniority and distinction between insiders and outsiders. What does that mean? It means that when a younger person sees an elder, you have to be polite. At the very least, you have to say hello!"

......

"Uncle, it's almost time to prepare lunch!"

"That's right, Third Uncle. I've remembered everything you said. Stop repeating yourself! You're just like an old woman repeating what she said!"

Ha ha......

Liu Haizhong looked at the crowd making a fuss and slammed the table, saying, "What are you making a fuss about? Although Old Yan was a little slow, he did a very solid job. It was all for you!"

Everyone laughed even louder when they heard Liu Haizhong's words!

Yi Zhonghai knocked on the table and said, "Okay, let's talk about another thing. Since we are selecting a civilized courtyard house, we have to have something to show for it."

He looked around and continued, "I plan to start with respecting the elderly and loving the young. The elderly and deaf ladies in the courtyard are all alone and helpless. I want everyone to carry forward the style and give out some rice and flour. The old lady doesn't eat much by herself. Each household should give out a daily ration for an adult in a month! What do you think?"

After thinking about it, everyone nodded in agreement and agreed to only one pound of food ration.

"Since everyone has no objection, then we can give the food to Auntie every month, and she will deliver it to the old lady!"

Yi Zhonghai continued, "We have already said that we should respect the elderly, and we should also love the young. I think Jia Dongxu of the Jia family is not young anymore, he doesn't have a job, and he has an old mother. His life is really hard! Does anyone have any solution?"

Someone in the yard said, "Uncle, what can we do? Aunt Jia doesn't even take the job provided by the street. She sleeps until noon every day. It's a miracle that her family is not poor!"

Haha...people in the yard started laughing...

Someone else said, "Jia Zhang has someone to rely on! What do you know?"

Someone asked, "What do you rely on?"

"You can earn money by sleeping!"

Ha ha.....

Now everyone laughed even louder.

Jia Zhang's face was almost purple with anger, but for the sake of her son today, she held back and did not throw a tantrum.

Yi Zhonghai spoke up at this time: "You orphans and widows should do some good deeds. Since you don't want to do that, I think I should take care of Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu, do you agree?"

Jia Dongxu nodded quickly, knelt down and shouted to Yi Zhonghai: "Uncle, you are willing to help my family and help me, Jia Dongxu. I, Jia Dongxu, am not ungrateful. Today I want to worship you as my master and be your disciple for the rest of my life. Please agree!" After that, he kowtowed nine times.

Yi Zhonghai waited until Jia Dongxu finished kowtowing before saying, "Dongxu, since you want to be my disciple, I also want to accept you as my apprentice! Then I will accept you, but now is a new era, kowtowing is nothing, just give me a cup of tea!"

Jia Dongxu quickly stood up, went back to the house and brought out the tea that had been brewed long ago! He handed it to Yi Zhonghai respectfully!

Yi Zhonghai finished his tea and looked at the people in the courtyard: "My dear neighbors, today I have accepted this apprentice for the sake of our courtyard! In the future, if anyone has difficulties, you can tell us and we can help together. Let's pass on the good virtues of respecting the elderly and loving the young..."

This scene made the second uncle and the third uncle a little confused. Not only them, but everyone in the entire courtyard was confused!

Yan Fugui asked, "Old Yi! Are you going to accept Jia Dongxu as your apprentice?" Seeing Yi Zhonghai nodded, Yan Fugui smacked his lips a few times.

"Master, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, the master has a good disciple!"

"Yes! Congratulations!"

Congratulations came from the crowd, but why did the voices sound a little weak?

As Sha Zhu watched Jia Dongxu kneel down and worship Yi Zhonghai as his master, and Yi Zhonghai agreed directly, he felt dizzy. The events of yesterday flashed before his eyes. First, Yi Zhonghai didn't want to hold a meeting, and then he asked to solve the problem in the courtyard, not allowing him to do it himself. He suddenly tore up a fake IOU. What was the final result? Didn't the Jia family still get away with it, and his coal briquettes were lost in vain?

Sha Zhu, who has figured it out, feels a little amused and helpless when looking at the extremely funny scene of becoming a disciple!
