Siheyuan Back to the 1950s

Chapter 43: Food Donation (Part )

With the full implementation of the "planned economy", everything from a bicycle to a needle, even a piece of feces, required a ticket, and slowly the people got used to it.

The people in the courtyard then remembered that Sun Dajiang's family was lucky enough to buy a bicycle before the coupon era came.

Everyone in the compound was jealous again. They were not worried about the lack of wealth but the inequality of wealth. They hated those who had money and laughed at those who had nothing. This was fully reflected in this group of people.

Some people even suggested that Sun Dajiang treat the guests. The most outstanding one among them, Yan Bugui, even went to discuss the matter with Yi Zhonghai.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't want to take care of these trivial matters. He couldn't control Sun Dajiang's family. He was already annoyed and had no time to care about these things.

Since the implementation of the ticket system, Yi Zhonghai has been in trouble.

First, a deaf old lady came and said that she was old and would not live long, so she was craving for some meat. She asked Yi Zhonghai to help her find some meat tickets so that she could buy some meat to satisfy her craving.

Listen, I am old and I don't have many days left to live, so what's wrong with wanting to eat some meat? If even this request cannot be met, then wouldn't Yi Zhonghai's image of respecting the elderly and loving the young collapse? How will others view him, Yi Zhonghai?

But don't you think about it? Each family only has a few taels of meat per month, and the meat they buy is barely enough to fill the gaps between the family's teeth. Who would have extra meat coupons? Go and find me some meat coupons.

Later, Yi Zhonghai was really out of options and had to go to the black market to buy two sex tickets to fool the old deaf man.

The deaf old lady was quiet, but who would have thought that her beloved apprentice Jia Dongxu came to her again, saying that there was not enough food at home and asked the master to help with the food.

All right! The master was being ripped off, but Yi Zhonghai couldn't just ignore it, as he still counted on Jia Dongxu to support him in his old age.

In order not to disappoint his apprentice, he had to take out 10 kilograms of corn flour from his own rations and give it to his apprentice to help him get through the difficult times.

But the key problem is that 10 kilograms of corn flour is not enough! According to Jia Dongxu's description, there is a shortage of at least 80 kilograms of food every month.

Damn it, how can you, Jia Dongxu, ask for money? You are short of 80 kilograms of food every month, and you are not willing to buy even a kilogram. Come and find someone to support your whole family.

After helping a few times, Yi Zhonghai became fed up with it and thought about finding someone to share the burden.

Originally, the best helper in this courtyard was Sha Zhu, but in Sha Zhu's current situation, it was too late for everyone to hide from him, so how could anyone take the initiative to get close to him?

Besides, even if they really found Sha Zhu, his salary would hardly be enough to support them and their brother.

Yi Zhonghai racked his brains and checked everyone in the compound, but found that no one was available. Finally, Yi Zhonghai decided to hold a meeting to donate grain and tie up everyone in the compound.

In the evening, after school, Sun Zhengguo met Yan Bugui at the door. He greeted him hurriedly, and just as he was about to leave, he was stopped by Yan Bugui.

"Wait a minute, Zhengguo, I just need to inform you of something, so I don't have to make another trip."

"What's the matter? Uncle, tell me."

Sun Zhengguo had to do his homework when he got home and was too lazy to argue with Yan Bugui, so he spoke directly.

"There will be a general meeting tonight at 7 o'clock. When your parents come back, just tell them."

"I understand, Uncle San, I still have to go back to do my homework, so I'm leaving first."

After Sun Zhengguo finished speaking, he pushed the cart away without waiting for Yan Bugui to answer.

When Sun Dajiang and his wife arrived home, Sun Zhengguo mentioned this matter. Sun Dajiang said that he knew about it. Just now when he got off work, Yan Bugui was still waiting at the door, so he notified him again.

Sun Zhengguo was quite curious and asked immediately.

"Dad, do you know what the meeting is about tonight?"

"I don't know. Yan Bugui doesn't know either. He said it was Yi Zhonghai who requested it."

After Sun Dajiang finished speaking, he went back to work. Lin Wencui then added.

"Meetings, meetings. How can there be so many meetings in this tiny courtyard? There are more meetings than those held by national leaders."

"Hahaha……."

Lin Wencui's words made the children laugh.

In the evening, the courtyard meeting was held on time, and Liu Haizhong, who was sitting at the front desk, spoke first.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started. Today's meeting was organized by a great uncle. Let's talk about what's going on. Now, our respected great uncle will tell you about it."

After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and took a sip, then waited quietly for the old man to speak.

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on him, Yi Zhonghai coughed lightly and then spoke.

"Everyone knows that our courtyard is a civilized courtyard. We usually emphasize respecting the elderly and loving the young, unity and friendship, helping each other, and supporting each other when one side is in trouble. In these aspects, the people in our courtyard have done a good job."

Yi Zhonghai stopped talking here. As a master of controlling the situation, Yi Zhonghai knew how to control it.

First, praise everyone and use moral blackmail, and then make demands. If you agree, it will be good for you, me and everyone else. If you disagree, then it is immoral.

Seeing that the scene was very quiet and no one was emotionally upset, Yi Zhonghai realized that his goal had been achieved and began to continue speaking.

"Now in our courtyard, some people are in trouble. There are several people in a family, and each person has a certain amount. I hope everyone can help them. Today you help me, and tomorrow I will help you. Let's build a harmonious and beautiful courtyard together."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, there was a loud bang from the audience and everyone started talking.

Everyone knows that who else but the Jia family can meet this standard? So, you praised us so highly just now, waiting for this to happen to us.

But even though everyone understands it, no one wants to be the first to speak out.

Yi Zhonghai is an old hand. Seeing this situation, he knew that he couldn't let the situation get out of control, so he spoke up.

"That's right, everyone guessed it. I'm talking about the Jia family. Everyone knows the situation of the Jia family. As a civilized compound, we can't let people starve to death!"

When Yi Zhonghai said this, the audience suddenly became much quieter. Why did it become quiet?

That's because Yi Zhonghai has put a big hat on you. If you don't help, what will happen to people who are starving to death? You will be stabbed to death by others even if they poke your spine.

Sun Zhengguo, who was listening below, felt a little contempt for Yi Zhonghai. Yi Zhonghai has been talking nonsense for a long time. His Jia family has no food, can't he spend money to buy some?

But what did you, Yi Zhonghai, do? You are morally blackmailing everyone in the compound to help the Jia family. If it doesn't work, can't you, as their master, give some money and help?

Although this is what people say and everyone understands the truth, no one is willing to take the lead. Perhaps this is the brilliance of Yi Zhonghai?

As a result, the entire conference fell into silence.

Will anyone be the first to take action?
