Siheyuan's opening rejection of the elderly care group

On the way home early from get off work today, I found Yu Shui playing shuttlecock with Yan Jieti, the daughter of his third uncle, outside the courtyard of the quadrangle. I asked, "Yu Shui, why did you come back so early today?"

"School exams are over and we're released"

"How did you do in the exam? If you do well, I'll give you a reward," He Yuzhu teased Yu Shui.

"What reward? I will definitely get it," He Yushui asked hurriedly.

"You are quite confident. Let's talk about it after you do well in the exam. I'm going to cook. Don't forget to come back for dinner later," he turned and walked into the courtyard.

Yan Jieti looked at He Yushui with a pale face and said, "Speaking of which, your brother is really good to you."

"I'm his sister. If he doesn't treat me well, who will? If anyone dares to treat me badly, I will beat him up," He Yushui said fiercely, waving his little fists.

"I noticed that you have been getting happier recently," Yan Jieti asked. Although they didn't play together often, he could feel it.

"My brother treats me better and better, so I'm happy," He Yushui said naturally.

Ignoring their conversation, He Yuzhu returned to the middle courtyard to think about what to eat tonight. After thinking for a long time, he got lazy and made a pot of rice with more meat and beans, steamed eggplant, and cold-mixed cabbage hearts. It was simple and easy. Anyway, he could eat whatever the system provided.

Half an hour later the meal was ready. I stood at the door and called Yu Shui to eat. After a while she came running in like a gust of wind with sweat on her face. "Slow down, you're a grown-up girl and you don't look steady at all," He Yuzhu said in a reproachful tone.

"No matter how old I am, I am still your sister. Why do you despise me?" He Yushui retorted.

"Hey, girl, you can't say anything yet, wash your hands and eat quickly," He Yuzhu said angrily.

The brother and sister were bickering with each other while serving their meals with bowls and chopsticks, without interrupting their meal.

"Yu Shui, every family is having a hard time now. We will be hated if we eat like this. From now on, I will be in charge of the food, don't ask too many questions. If anyone asks, just tell them that we have steamed bread and pickles to improve the food occasionally. I will prepare some delicious steamed bread. Do you understand?" He Yuzhu instructed.

"Well, brother, I understand. The food you bring to me at school is wanted by someone. She is my friend, and I give her some, and she will be very satisfied," said He Yushui.

"Eat well at home in the future, and don't bring it with you and keep a low profile outside," He Yuzhu said worriedly.

"Don't worry, brother, I'm not stupid," Yu Shui nodded in agreement.

While the two were eating, they heard the second son of the Liu family shouting outside the window, "I have a meeting, I have a meeting."

"What is this? I haven't attended a general meeting since I came here. I have to go and witness the legendary general meeting later," He Yuzhu thought.

He Yuzhu turned around and said to Yu Shui, "You eat in the house later, and then do your homework. I'll come and check on you later."

"Brother, I don't have any homework today. I'll go with you later. I haven't attended a general meeting for a long time." He Yuzhu thought about it and agreed, "Okay, let's go with my brother and sister. Let's eat quickly now."

The brother and sister finished their meal in a few bites, waiting for the city-wide meeting to see what trouble they would cause next.

Half an hour later, around six or seven in the evening, they heard the commotion outside the Central Courtyard. People from all the courtyards had basically started to arrive. He Yuzhu led his sister out of the house, found a corner to sit in, and gave his sister a handful of pumpkin seeds he had roasted himself, and prepared to watch the show.

After a while, people gathered in the middle courtyard in twos and threes, asking each other about the content of today's meeting. While asking around, He Yuzhu spotted Xu Damao and hurriedly called out to him, "Xu Damao, come here, I have something to talk to you about."

Xu Damao, who was chatting with everyone in the yard, heard someone calling him. He turned around and saw it was He Yuzhu. He immediately became a little timid, but pretended to be tough, "Silly Zhu, what do you want from me?"

He Yuzhu saw that he was both timid and tough, and didn't mind him calling him Shazhu: "Just come over if I tell you to."

Xu Damao came over, and halfway through he remembered something. He dragged his wife Lou Xiao'e over and asked her to walk in front. Lou Xiao'e was so angry at Xu Damao's behavior that she hit him twice.

When He Yuzhu saw Lou Xiao'e coming, he ignored Xu Damao, grabbed a handful of pumpkin seeds for Lou Xiao'e, and asked them to sit down. Lou Xiao'e watched He Yuzhu's actions and said, "He Yuzhu, you have changed a lot in the past few days."

"Changes, what changes?" He Yuzhu asked.

"Don't even think about greeting Damao. It's good enough that you don't beat him up," Lou Xiao'e said while eating melon seeds.

"People always change, just like Xu Damao. The two of us have been fighting in this yard for such a long time. Everyone says that Xu Damao is a bad guy, and I only know how to use my fists when I encounter problems, but is this the real situation? Isn't there someone instigating behind the scenes?" He Yuzhu said while staring at Xu Damao.

Xu Damao listened to what He Yuzhu said and looked at him carefully. "Silly Zhu, you have really changed. My father came to me a few days ago and I didn't believe it. What you said today shows that you are really not stupid anymore."

"Xu Damao, thank you for reminding me again and again not to be fooled by others. I even beat you up. I apologize to you. Let's move forward from now on," He Yuzhu said as he stretched out his hand.

Seeing He Yuzhu extending his hand, Damao also extended his hand. The two held hands together and smiled at each other. This could be considered as a way of forgetting all grudges by meeting each other and smiling.

The two of them whispered about what had happened over the years. They let Yu Shui chat with Lou Xiao'e, and he grabbed a handful of melon seeds from his pocket and gave them to Xu Damao, ready to continue watching the show.

There was an octagonal table set up in the courtyard, and the three gentlemen sat there like a county magistrate attending court.

Yi Zhonghai drank some tea like a leader to moisten his throat and began to speak. "Today I have three things to teach you. The first is that food is in short supply right now. The neighborhood committee called the three of us to convey the spirit of the meeting above: "Everyone should cherish food. The superiors are trying to find ways to raise food. I hope we can all get through this difficult period together."

"The second thing is, the factory has a quota for temporary workers. It's useless for me even if I applied for it. Whoever wants to go can get the quota by paying an average of 20 yuan per family in the yard." When everyone heard about this good thing, they started talking about it, saying that the old man was open-minded and caring about the people in the yard.

Liu Haizhong took a look and began to maintain order, asking the people in the yard to "be quiet. This is a meeting. You are so messy, like a vegetable market. How can this be done? You don't take the leadership seriously." He was flattering and arrogant. The third uncle next to him remained silent, as if it had nothing to do with him.

After some discussion and competition among the people below, the quota was won by Ergen's family because his son met the criteria and they had a large population. Ergen stood up and thanked everyone in the yard, saying that he would give the money to them according to their families after the meeting. He also thanked the eldest uncle in particular.

He Yuzhu was watching from the side and knew that Ergen's family really needed this job, but he also knew that the old man had bought it in the yard. He heard people say that the job was actually intended for Qin Huairu, but after he applied for it, Qin Huairu became pregnant and couldn't go, and the position couldn't wait for anyone, so he took it out and bought it.

"The third thing is that I hope to donate money to the Jia family. A few days ago, the daughter of the Jia family, Xiaodang, was scalded by hot water. It is not easy for Dongxu to support the whole family alone. I hope everyone can help. People in the compound should help each other like a family and pull each other up. Don't be like some people who are selfish and only care about themselves." After saying this, he glanced at He Yuzhu and stopped talking.

But when the audience heard about the donation, they immediately fell silent, because life was not easy for anyone these days. Liu Haizhong saw the opportunity to perform and said, "We must make this a victorious and successful conference. We must follow in the footsteps of the great men and strive to improve our own standards." He stuttered and came up with a few words for leading a meeting and then couldn't continue.

He had no choice but to say, "The first uncle will start donating first. This time I will accompany him to donate the same amount. I can't be left behind." The third uncle looked at him like an idiot.

When Yi Zhonghai saw that no one said anything, he stood up and said, "As an uncle, I will take the lead and set an example. I will donate 30," and handed the money to Yan Fugui.

Liu Hai felt distressed but quickly stood up and said, "I'll donate 30 too," and handed the money to the uncle.

When the third uncle saw this situation, he had no choice but to donate. "We have a large family, so we can't compare to the first and second uncles. I will donate 5 yuan."

When everyone in the Second Hospital saw that the three uncles had raised the donation amount so high, there was a burst of discussion. They originally wanted to donate a few cents, so how could they donate like this?

Everyone looked at He Yuzhu, because every time the three uncles donated money, he followed closely behind, but He Yuzhu said nothing.
