Siheyuan: Silly Pillar is Kind

When Yi Zhonghai finally returned to the courtyard gate, he saw the anxious third uncle and the relaxed second uncle who was eating melon seeds. As soon as he saw Yi Zhonghai coming, Yan Fugui hurried forward to greet him.

"Old Yi, something big has happened!" Yan Fugui shouted anxiously.

However, at this moment, the second uncle suddenly interrupted and said, "Old Yan, don't be impatient, wait a moment. Director Liu is still waiting for us, let's talk while we walk."

Hearing this, Yan Fugui lowered his head helplessly, and walked forward with shame on his face. Yi Zhonghai looked at this scene, and his heart was full of doubts.

Then, the second uncle began to explain, "Today, Old Yan sent two dead fish to Sha Zhu with good intentions. But who knew that Sha Zhu didn't know what was good for him. He got furious as soon as he came back and asked Old Yan not to send him anything in the future." There was a hint of gloating in Liu Haizhong's tone.

"Old Yan, is what Old Liu said true?" Yi Zhonghai turned to look at Yan Fugui and asked.

Yan Fugui looked extremely embarrassed at this time, and he sighed and replied: "Hey, what Lao Liu said is absolutely right. In fact, it was all because Jia Zhang said that the steel mill consumes a lot of materials every day, and if we send some worthless materials there, we can save more costs. I was also bewildered at the time and actually believed her words!"

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yan Fugui with a look of anger, and said with great sorrow: "Old Yan, look at what you have done! Sha Zhu respects you and knows that your life is not easy, so he gave you such a good way to make money. Who in the courtyard would not be jealous of such a good job? But you, you actually did such a thing!"

Yan Fugui was very upset and sighed repeatedly: "Oh, I really regret it. Lao Yi, you have the best relationship with Sha Zhu, he will definitely listen to you, why don't you help me persuade him and let me continue to send him food. This time I promise to pick the freshest and best quality fish, okay?"

Yi Zhonghai frowned and shook his head: "That's not appropriate! Even if you sent two dead fish, with Zhuzi's temper, he wouldn't come back to settle the score with you. Zhuzi has been busy recently, and there must be other things that happened here that I don't know."

Yan Fugui smacked his lips and muttered, "What I delivered was indeed dead fish, but the vegetables those families sent were just rotten leaves! My wife told me that when Sha Zhu came back in the afternoon, he dumped all the food he delivered today on the ground without saying a word. He also stopped calling me 'Uncle' and called me 'Yan Family' instead!"

Yi Zhonghai could not help but be stunned, with a hint of surprise and helplessness in his eyes: "You guys...ah...I really don't know how to evaluate you guys."

He took a deep breath, calmed down a little, and then said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. Once Zhuzi gets angry, it's not easy for ordinary people to persuade him. Even if the old lady takes action, there may be some hope, but with my current ability, it's still a little bit lacking. I'll go talk to him in a few days when Zhuzi's anger has subsided a little."

Yi Zhonghai suddenly changed the subject and asked, "By the way, where are you taking me when you dragged me out in such a hurry?"

Yan Fugui hesitated for a moment and replied, "In the afternoon, Director Liu from the street came over and said that he was going to carry out poverty alleviation work and planned to select poor families in need of help from the civilized courtyards.

Maybe they want us to report the situation or provide some relevant accounts?" His tone was full of uncertainty.

After hearing this, Liu Haizhong showed a trace of disdain on his face, and retorted contemptuously: "How could such an important matter not seek the opinions of the three of us uncles? Old Yan, I have to say that sometimes your ideas are too simple. In my opinion, Director Liu must want to hear the opinions of us old guys."

At this point, Liu Haizhong's chest involuntarily straightened up, as if his status had been instantly improved.

However, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui ignored Liu Haizhong's self-righteousness and did not respond to his words. Yi Zhonghai waved his hand and said lightly: "Okay, we will know when we get there." So the group stopped talking and walked towards their destination in silence.

Liu Mei watched Yi Zhonghai and the other two walk into the street yard, and a look of joy appeared on her face. She hurried over to invite them into the office. Liu Haizhong was so excited that he couldn't close his mouth!

After the three of them sat down, Liu Mei smiled and said, "Three stewards, I called you here today because I have something to discuss with you.

Our street has always wanted to help families who are in financial difficulties, so we plan to select some well-behaved residents from the civilized courtyards as recipients of assistance.

Of course, this is also a recognition and encouragement for their positive and helpful attitude in daily life.

Moreover, during this process, we need someone from the hospital to assist us in completing this task. Hehe... As for what we are going to do specifically, it is not convenient to disclose it at the moment, but I can guarantee that it will definitely be a great thing.

Personally, I am very optimistic about Comrade He Yuzhu and think he is very suitable for this task. However, since this activity is completely based on the principle of voluntariness, we cannot force him to participate, so I have to trouble the three gentlemen to help coordinate it. Do you think it is okay? "

As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Haizhong couldn't wait to interrupt and said, "Director Liu, don't worry! I will definitely convince Sha Zhu... Oh, no, it's Comrade He Yuzhu who came to assist the street work. After all, I am the second uncle in the courtyard, and I still have some prestige with him."

Yan Fugui looked at Liu Haizhong as if he were a fool, with a scornful smile on his face, but he did not say anything, just lowered his head silently.

Yi Zhonghai seemed relaxed and contented. He also remained silent and savored the fragrant tea in his cup.

Liu Mei knew that Yi Zhonghai was the only one who had the real say and could take charge of the whole courtyard. Since he was unwilling to express his opinion, she had to force him to express his opinion anyway. So she deliberately emphasized the word "help me" and said to Yi Zhonghai with a slightly complaining tone: "Old Yi, why are you so silent? Could it be that you have never thought of helping me at all?"

Yi Zhonghai naturally knew that he could not escape, so he had no choice but to put down the teacup in his hand, sighed and replied: "Director Liu, what are you talking about! Assisting the street to carry out work is the unshirkable responsibility of each of us. I am just thinking about where to start.

But Director Liu, I'm afraid it's a bit risky to ask Zhuzi for help. You don't know that Zhuzi is busy receiving a team of technical experts from the north. He goes out early and comes back late every day and is very busy. "

"Old Yi, with your eloquence and prestige, this will be accomplished as long as you take action! I know your status in your hospital too well, so don't make excuses anymore, it's settled! Okay, everyone go home and have dinner!" Liu Mei responded quickly, expressing her trust in Yi Zhonghai's ability.

Liu Haizhong quickly stood up, nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay Director Liu, we'll leave first. Goodbye, Director Liu."

After saying that, he hurriedly stood up and left his seat. Yi Zhonghai looked helplessly at this extremely stupid teammate in front of him, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, but at the same time he felt very confused - someone with his IQ level actually dreamed of becoming a big boss in the yard all day long!

After Yi Zhonghai turned around and returned to the courtyard, he originally planned to go to Jia's house to congratulate his apprentice and meet the bride by the way to express his blessing and concern for his apprentice's wedding as a master. After all, in that era, the master-apprentice relationship was very special and important, and the master could even be regarded as the father of the apprentice. So it was reasonable for him to go and see his daughter-in-law.

However, when he reached the middle courtyard, he was grabbed by a woman and dragged home.

Yi Zhonghai asked in confusion: "Why did you suddenly pull me back?" The lady replied angrily: "Don't you know what happened in the Jia family today?" Yi Zhonghai shook his head in confusion and asked anxiously: "Can you stop talking so nonsense? What happened?"

Facing her husband's questioning, the auntie stamped her feet in anger and said with wide eyes, "Your so-called filial disciple actually called me auntie in front of everyone today, and called you uncle! Don't you understand the reason?"

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly became extremely gloomy, and a nameless anger surged in his heart.

The lady looked at Yi Zhonghai who had suddenly realized what was going on, and then said meaningfully: "You, why are you running over there eagerly? That doesn't make sense!

It has always been the apprentice's turn to visit the master, how can a master take the initiative to visit the apprentice? You just stay at home and see if Jia Dongxu will come to visit today!"

Yi Zhonghai's face became increasingly gloomy, but he just sat there quietly without moving. The lady sighed helplessly, "Old Yi, you should think about it carefully. I think Zhuzi's child is quite good. If we accept Zhuzi's child, we will definitely be right in the future. I'm going to the kitchen to cook dinner, you just sit here and see if your apprentice will come."

Yi Zhonghai didn't even have time to eat dinner the whole night. He just sat there the whole time. Only after the lights in the Jia family were turned off did he slowly stand up, walk silently to the table and start eating.
