Siheyuan: I became a truck driver

Chapter 14: The number of poor households is in doubt, Jia Zhang questions the carp

Officially started construction.

In terms of construction, Xiao Yun also has to follow Lin Gangtuan's arrangements.

First combine the mud and water and stir them thoroughly, then pass the bricks and mud and repeat the process.

The brick is covered with plaster and sits on the ground, with the next brick next to it.

...

Lin Gangtuan is indeed a master who has been working for many years. The bricks in his hands are as obedient as children.

In just half an hour, the kang in Xiao Yun's room had already taken shape.

The noise of the Xiao family's work also attracted many other people in the compound. After dinner, they were originally planning to take a walk, but when they saw the excitement in the yard, they just stood aside.

Many of them had never heard of the kang and wanted to see it for themselves.

There aren't many forms of entertainment these days, so getting together is considered a pastime.

Among them are two uncles, the first and the second.

Yi Zhonghai stood with his hands behind his back, watching Yan Bugui and his wife carrying bricks into the yard one by one, with an unhappy look on his face.

"Old Liu, didn't you say that the Xiao family is in financial difficulty and can't even afford food? These truckloads of bricks will cost a lot of money."

There was something ugly about Liu Haizhong's face.

A week before Xiao Yun came here, a general meeting of all staff was held in the compound.

The main content of the conference is to help poor families get through the winter.

To put it bluntly, he was the one who took the lead and called on others to help those who could not make ends meet.

As a senior worker in the factory, Yi Zhonghai earns nearly 100 yuan a month.

In this day and age, this salary is a huge sum of money!

Although the aunt is in poor health and needs to take medicine, she spends at least half of her salary on medicine.

But that would leave at least 40 yuan, which was enough for two old people to have meat every other day.

This does not include the money he embezzled, which was the money He Daqing sent to He Yuzhu over the years.

Calculated at ten dollars a month, that’s at least several hundred dollars!

Therefore, as a role model and as the elder brother in the yard, Yi Zhonghai donated ten yuan in public at the conference.

The second uncle Liu Haizhong's salary is 67 yuan, which is less than that of the first uncle. In addition to the old couple, there are three more mouths to feed in the family.

In this way, his life became much more comfortable than Yi Zhonghai's, and he could eat scrambled eggs almost every day.

Donating a few dollars is a small matter for him.

But it is rare to see this happen in front of everyone in the compound, and he participated very actively.

But this made life difficult for the third uncle Yan Bugui.

His salary was not enough to feed six mouths at home, but he was the third uncle in the yard, so he had no choice but to donate one dollar.

With the participation of the three uncles, the conference went smoothly and a lot of money was raised.

But when it came time to divide the money, a lot of trouble arose.

Everyone has different opinions on which families are poor households.

Some people say that the Li family in the front yard is a poor household, some say it is the Xiao family and the Jia family in the middle yard, and some say it is the Liu family in the back yard.

Say anything.

But in the end, according to the old man's judgment, the Li family, the Xiao family, and the Liu family were no longer considered poor households.

Only the Jia family is the poorest.

Even though Liu Haizhong later argued that the Xiao family was a poor household and many people wanted to give money to the Xiao family.

But I still couldn't beat the old man.

Now, after seeing this scene, Liu Haizhong suddenly felt that he was deceived by the Xiao family. He immediately called Xiao Yun who was at the door.

"Xiao Yun, come here!"

Xiao Yun heard the noise, turned around and saw two old men standing by the sink. He greeted Lin Gangtuan and walked over.

"What's wrong? Second uncle?"

Liu Haizhong looked unhappy, with a droopy face. He stretched out his hand and pointed at Xiao Yun, acting like a leader.

"Explain to me where this brick came from!"

Liu Haizhong's tone made Xiao Yun very unhappy, and the smile on his face gradually disappeared.

how?

Is this a preparation to intimidate myself in public?

Then I am not afraid.

I spend my own money to buy things, how does it bother you?

Xiao Yun immediately leaned against the sink and spoke slowly.

"I bought it. Could it be that someone gave it to me as a gift?"

After Xiao Yun finished speaking, he took out a cigarette from his pocket and put it in his lips.

When Liu Haizhong heard Xiao Yun's lazy tone, he immediately scolded him, "Be serious, I'm asking you something!"

Xiao Yun wanted to laugh.

No, who are you?

Where does a manager get the authority to act like that?

If I give you face, you are the boss. If I don’t give you face, your face is not as good as a shoe insole.

Xiao Yun didn't bother with Liu Haizhong either, and spoke without changing his posture.

"Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me. I'm busy making the kang."

When Liu Haizhong saw that Xiao Yun had no respect for him at all, he became angry and his voice became louder.

"What's your attitude? I, I want to ask you, where did you get the money to buy bricks? Aren't you a poor household? How can you afford to buy bricks?"

After Liu Haizhong's shout, many people who were watching the fun were attracted over.

Before Xiao Yun could speak, the uncle Yi Zhonghai also spoke.

He looked unhappy, and in front of everyone, he began to blame Xiao Yun without hesitation.

"Xiao Yun, you grew up watching me, how come I've become like this now! How can you be worthy of your status as a military family member!"

Xiao Yun glanced at the onlookers and felt a little confused.

"I, what has become of me?"

To be honest, Xiao Yun really didn’t know. The memory of his original body was not triggered, so he couldn’t remember it.

Seeing that Xiao Yun was confused, Yi Zhonghai asked again: "What did you say at the meeting two days ago? You said that you couldn't make ends meet, but now, you ate carp yesterday and renovated your house today?"

"You are obviously rich, but you lied to us and said you were a poor family. Aren't you ruining the atmosphere of the compound? What kind of behavior is this? You are smearing the compound and the collective!!"

Xiao Yun watched quietly and wanted to laugh. He didn't know what had happened, but what was certain was that the truth was definitely not what the Moral Lord Yi Zhonghai said.

This is inferred from the appearance of the beast in the TV series.

At this time, Jia Zhang came out from nowhere and immediately agreed when she heard Yi Zhonghai scolding Xiao Yun.

"That's right! The carp he ate yesterday weighed at least five or six pounds! Pay for it? I estimate it would cost at least seven or eight dollars!"

Originally, due to his military status as a member of the Xiao family, he did not dare to confront Xiao Yun openly, but seeing that his uncle Yi Zhonghai was not afraid of these, she immediately felt confident.

As soon as Jia Zhang opened her mouth, the eyes of the people around her looking at Xiao Yun changed, as if they were sharp knives.

The whispered discussions also swept in like waves.

"What? Seven or eight yuan for a carp. My god, my family only has ten yuan for living expenses a month."

"I was wondering why it smelled so good last night. It turned out to be stewed carp."

"I thought the Xiao family couldn't even afford to eat, but he could still buy such a big fish!"

"Isn't the Xiao family very poor? Where does the money come from?"

"It turns out that this was all put on by the Xiao family! They are trying to deceive our sympathy!"

...

Listening to the discussions, Xiao Yun's mind flashed back to the scene of that day's meeting.

Now, those who were whispering were the ones who felt sorry for the Xiao family and wanted to donate money to the Xiao family.

After what Jia Zhang just said, everyone felt that they had been deceived and their emotions gradually became angry.

"If you ask me, he is just pretending. We must investigate thoroughly and cannot take up the quota for poor households!"

Someone in the crowd shouted.
