Siheyuan: Five mouths waiting for food at the beginning

"Shanhai, this whole-institute meeting looks quite interesting. Is that table for the uncles to sit at? Who are the uncles in our institute?" Huang Duoduo thought it was very novel.

"The second uncle is Liu Haizhong and the third uncle is Yan Bugui. There was originally a first uncle named Yi Zhonghai, but he was taken down by the eldest brother."

"I've always been curious why you always call Uncle Yan the third uncle and Liu Haizhong the second uncle. I always thought it was based on age, but it turns out it's like this."

"Actually, you're right. At that time, they were arranged according to age. The third uncle was in charge of the front yard, the second uncle was in charge of the back yard, and the first uncle was in charge of the middle yard. Originally, their rights were the same.

But Yi Zhonghai had his means. He won over a group of people. The son of Mrs. Jia from the Central Courtyard was Yi Zhonghai's apprentice. Sha Zhu was also won over by Yi Zhonghai at that time and became Yi Zhonghai's thug.

Usually Yi Zhonghai was very fair, but when it came to these two families, his position became crooked. Xu Damao suffered greatly from this and was always the one who got beaten. However, under Yi Zhonghai's handling, the case was never resolved.

At that time, there was a deaf old lady in the backyard, in the room where He Daqing lives now. Yi Zhonghai was looking after her, so she supported Yi Zhonghai and gave him advice. If Yi Zhonghai and Sha Zhu couldn't solve a problem, she would smash other people's windows. Everyone tolerated it because she was old.

I named them the Elderly Care Group. They were the most powerful group in the compound. Liu Haizhong couldn't compete with them. He would take it out on his son every time he went back. Now that his son has run away, Yi Zhonghai has become the one who has the final say in the compound. He is in charge of all the affairs of the compound." Zhao Shanhe introduced.

"His uncle, what about the third uncle? And why is it called the Elderly Care Group?"

"Let's talk about the third uncle first. You know that the third uncle is an elementary school teacher. He usually calls himself a scholar, but he really doesn't have the character of a scholar. He will join whoever gives him more benefits. He is a typical calculating person. He also has a classic quote: "If you don't get rich by eating and drinking, you won't get rich. If you don't get rich by calculating, you will get poor."

Why is it called the Elderly Care Group? First of all, the core figure Yi Zhonghai has no children and needs someone to take care of him. The same goes for the deaf old lady. Mrs. Jia's son was the candidate for the elderly care, but it's a pity that Jia Dongxu died at a young age. Sha Zhu's father He Daqing ran away with the widow at the time, and Sha Zhu was also a backup candidate. Do you think it's appropriate to call it the Elderly Care Group?"

"So that's how it is. No wonder Uncle San is guarding the door like a door god every day. Then what happened to Uncle He running away with the widow?"

"Okay, you see, Uncle Er and the others are here. You can ask Shanhai to explain it to you slowly later. It will take a while to explain it clearly."

Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui each held a teacup and walked onto the stage with their familiar eight-character steps. Liu Haizhong sat in the middle of the room as a matter of course, but for some reason he moved to the right side.

"Shanhe, come and sit in the middle. You are the highest-ranking official in our courtyard, so come and sit here." Zhao Shanhe didn't expect that Liu Haizhong gave up the middle seat for him. When did Liu Haizhong become so tactful?

"That's right, Shanhe, come up and sit down," the third uncle also said from the side.

Zhao Shanhe still declined. He was just here to watch the show. "Uncle 2 and Uncle 3, you guys should just sit down. This is not in the factory. I am not an uncle in the compound. It is not appropriate for me to go up. I will just watch."

"Okay, since Shanhe doesn't want to come up, forget it, but most of us work in the factory, so let's warmly welcome Chief Engineer Zhao to attend the meeting."

Everyone burst into warm applause. Zhao Shanhe was watching at that time. He could tell at a glance who was not applauding. He would make things difficult for you later. Look how badly Sha Zhu's family was dealt with.

"Shazhu, what are you doing? Why aren't you clapping? Do you look down on my brother?" Xu Damao was always paying attention to Shazhu.

"A flatterer, what a villain who has achieved success," Sha Zhu muttered, but he still clapped his hands. He was really scared, but he still refused to admit defeat. "Why didn't you clap? Xu Damao, if you are blind, go to the hospital to see an eye doctor."

"Okay, everyone, stop for a moment. Second Uncle, you start," Zhao Shanhe pressed his hand.

"Okay, let's get started."

"This whole hospital meeting was called by the Second Uncle. Now, we welcome the highly respected Second Uncle to speak." The Third Uncle still used the familiar opening remarks.

"Okay, let me tell you why we have this meeting. Young people nowadays are becoming more and more impetuous, slacking off, wasting time, and not being proactive. We can't go on like this. This is bringing shame to our compound.

Today's meeting is to call on everyone to work hard in the future. The elders have said that we should learn from Lei Feng. I, Liu Haizhong, will retire soon, but after my unremitting efforts, I have become the squad leader. I hope everyone can learn from me. Next, I will tell you how I worked hard to become the squad leader. "

"Second uncle, stop, stop, stop. Are you here to show off or to attend a meeting? If you want to talk about squad leader, I've already been the cafeteria squad leader. Why would I listen to you on how to become a squad leader?"

"What are you doing showing off, Silly Zhu? You've already been fired. I'm still the deputy section chief. I'm not more powerful than you, the squad leader."

"Xu Damao, I didn't say anything to you. You're not done yet."

"Stop, stop, stop. If you two want to quarrel, go home and don't make trouble here. Although you became cadres earlier than me, do you have bicycles?"

"Are you blind, Uncle? What's that parked outside my door? Two wheels?"

"Hahahaha" the neighbors laughed

"Quiet, quiet, I didn't make it clear. I meant a bicycle that was earned through ability. Do you have one? We have one in our compound. Mine is unique. Do you know what this is? This is an honor. How can your bicycle compare with this?"

Only then did everyone understand why Liu Haizhong pushed the bicycle here.

"Originally I was going to say this after I finish talking about how I became the squad leader, but I'll tell you now. One should not be too selfish." Yi Zhonghai felt very familiar with this sentence about one should not be too selfish.

"Everyone knows that I am an eighth-level worker. Some time ago, the factory held a skills competition and the first place for senior workers was given to me, Liu Haizhong. Do you know why? It is because I am not only skilled, but also selfless and have brought up many excellent apprentices.

Many people still believe in keeping some skills to themselves and not teaching their apprentices. How can they contribute to the country? What kind of spirit should we have?

"Old Liu, you want to talk about dedication, right?" the third uncle reminded

"Yes, it's the spirit of dedication. The reason why the factory let me be the team leader is to let more people learn technology and cultivate more talents. Listen carefully, Shazhu, I'm talking about you."

"What's wrong with me?"

"You still have the nerve to say that. You only accepted two apprentices, the one called Fatty and Mahua. Did you teach them seriously? It's been so many years and yet they can't even cook a dish."

"So what? I want to pass on my skills to my sons. Can I give it to them?"

Qin Huairu's family's faces immediately turned bad after hearing what Sha Zhu said. Banggeng was learning from Sha Zhu, so what could he learn from him? They originally thought that Liu Haizhong was here to show off, but now they also supported Liu Haizhong a little.
