Siheyuan: Brutal beasts, treat me like the Supreme Being

Yan Bugui frowned, looking miserable: "I am just worried. I am worried that if Yang Ming really knows, then we..."

Yi Zhonghai: "Even if he really knows, as long as we refuse to admit it, does he still have evidence?

I also read Yang Jianbin's suicide note. He didn't even finish writing it. As long as I don't reveal my tracks, who would know where Yang Ming went?"

Yan Bugui seemed to feel relieved after hearing what Yi Zhonghai said: "Well, I won't mention it anymore. Let's go see what Yang Ming is up to."

Yi Zhonghai: "Anyway, Yang Ming can't eat anyone, so we'll just have to deal with it!"

Yan Bugui nodded, and the two of them walked towards the whole institute meeting with serious faces.

When the whole institute meeting came, Liu Haizhong was already sitting in the seat of the eldest uncle. When he saw Yan Bugui and Yi Zhonghai coming together, his face turned ugly on the spot.

"Old Yan, why are you so confused? There are only you and me in charge of this courtyard. Why are you going to look for Master Yi?"

Yan Bugui sat in his seat: "Old Liu, I have some personal matters to discuss with Uncle Yi."

It’s not that Yan Bugui didn’t want to go find him, it’s just that Liu Haizhong looked very unreliable, which made Yan Bugui feel that he had to find Yi Zhonghai for some things.

"Humph! Isn't it time to call a general meeting of the whole institute? What's the matter? Can you tell me now?"

Liu Haizhong felt that Yan Bugui's behavior showed that he did not take him, his uncle, seriously and was challenging his uncle's authority.

Yan Bugui: "It was Engineer Yang who requested a meeting of the entire institute. I don't know why!"

As soon as Yan Bugui finished speaking, Yang Ming and Chen Xueru walked out of the house.

Seeing Yang Ming, Liu Haizhong's face turned unhappy, but due to the sensation caused by Yang Ming's car today, Liu Haizhong did not dare to turn his face away from Yang Ming in public.

He could only say coldly: "Engineer Yang, I heard that you are going to call a general meeting?"

Yang Ming nodded and looked at the beasts that filled the courtyard, then nodded with satisfaction. Even Sha Zhu and the deaf old lady, two of the ones with broken legs, were present, so it seemed that everyone was really present.

"Now that everyone is here, let me talk about this whole institute meeting. I believe everyone has already known that I was commended at the steel mill today and was awarded a car, right?"

Everyone in the courtyard nodded: "I know, Engineer Yang, you are really amazing!"

"Really, we all admire you!"

The beasts in the courtyard began to praise him. Yang Ming waved his hand and said, "Hey, I also know what you all mean. Since everyone knows about this, I won't keep you in suspense. Today is a great day for me to receive the commendation from the steel mill.

Here, I will give you a chance to express your gratitude to me for this matter!"

The beasts in the courtyard: "......"

"???".

Yi Zhonghai looked aggrieved. Today was Yang Ming's commendation meeting, not to mention Yi Zhonghai's criticism meeting. He hadn't bothered Yang Ming all day.

Even now, Yi Zhonghai has no other requirements for his life. He just wants to close the door and live his own life.

However, Yi Zhonghai had just entered the door today and had experienced the torture of being criticized by everyone in the steel rolling mill and was exhausted by the false accusations made by the old women.

Before he could sit down and catch his breath, Yang Ming convened a district-wide meeting.

Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth and said, "Engineer Yang, we have no objection to giving you a commendation, but Engineer Yang, you have to prepare a feast, right?"

Yan Bugui nodded: "Yes, Mr. Yang, you have to set up a banquet and treat us, so we can give our share, right?"

Liu Haizhong: "Engineer Yang, although you are quite good at this in the steel mill, but in this courtyard, we have to follow the rules. You have to abide by the rules of the courtyard."

Although the other beasts in the courtyard did not say anything, they all looked in agreement. It was obvious that they also expected Yang Ming to set up a banquet to celebrate. As for the gifts?

There is no particular requirement for gift giving in this era. With fifty cents, you can take your whole family out for a meat meal. If you are lucky, you can even take some soup away when you leave.

If there are few people in the family, it is common to give a scallion or a cabbage as a gift.

Anyway, there were very few wedding banquets in the 1960s because the cost was really not recouped. Besides, in that era, everything was purchased with coupons, and each family had only so much food per month!

For example, in rural areas, the annual ration of grain is only 360 kilograms, and there is no more.

If we set up a banquet, one table would be enough food for the whole family for a week.

Listening to what Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui said, Yang Ming's face was not at all flustered: "Hehe..."

Yang Ming chuckled, his tone full of sarcasm, "Really? How come I didn't know that there is such a rule in our courtyard, that we have to set up a banquet even if we show our sincerity?"

Yi Zhonghai: "Mr. Yang is relatively young, and there are no elderly people at home, so it is possible that he doesn't know. Not to mention in our Siheyuan, even in the whole Sijiu City, you have to set up a banquet when you go out. If you don't set up a banquet, how can you ask for your kindness directly?"

Yang Ming: "Haha, I cannot agree with what Uncle Yi said. I remember a few years ago, when Widow Qin just became a regular employee of the steel mill from an intern, Uncle Yi, like me, convened a meeting of the whole institute.

What was the purpose of this meeting? It was nothing but to celebrate Qin Huairu becoming a regular employee of the steel mill and to invite everyone to do something for her.

I remember that Uncle Yi also said at that time that if the Jia family could live on their own without relying on donations from everyone, it would be a good thing for our Siheyuan!

It was this reason that gave hope to the neighbors in the courtyard. They felt that the Jia family would be able to live their own lives in the future and would be much more relaxed without relying on their support.

Therefore, the neighbors of the courtyard all presented gifts to the Jia family that day.

At that time, my Yang family was not having a good time. What I meant was to do my best, but it depends on the individual. I didn’t have the ability, so I didn’t do my best. But what did Uncle Yi say to me at that time?

do you remember?"

After hearing what Yang Ming said, Yi Zhonghai's face suddenly turned bad. He was originally wondering why Yang Ming didn't seem to be able to do something without certainty.

Yang Ming couldn't stand the idea of ​​asking everyone to give gifts without having a wedding banquet.

How could he make such a request for no reason?

However, Yi Zhonghai now understood that Yang Ming clearly still remembered the past when he forced him to give the Jia family ten dollars, and this meeting of the whole hospital was for revenge!

The other neighbors in the courtyard originally looked disapproving, but when they heard what Yang Ming said, their faces suddenly turned a little unhappy and they looked at Yi Zhonghai.

In the past, they all thought that Yi Zhonghai was a good person. As the eldest uncle in the yard, he was even more kind-hearted. Most of the time, he pretended to be warm-hearted.

Therefore, Yi Zhonghai took the lead in showing his love to Qin Huairu. Although everyone felt that it was a bit unreasonable for them to give money since the Jia family was not hosting a wedding banquet, they thought that Qin Huairu, an orphan and a widow of the Jia family, was too pitiful.

The neighbors in the courtyard obeyed, mainly because of Yi Zhonghai's prestige. At that time, they did not think there was anything wrong with this matter.
