Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

After watching Secretary Song leave, He Yuzhu began to arrange work for everyone in the kitchen.

There was no reception task at noon, so He Yuzhu lay on the recliner. He used to sleep there, but now he read a book while sleeping, which felt pretty good.

He Yuzhu, who was studying hard in the space, was suddenly awakened by a slap.

He Yuzhu thought he was caught by his leader, but he stood up suddenly and saw that it was Xu Damao, a fool.

Before he could even open his mouth, Xu Damao said, "Zhu Zi, didn't you go to the bathroom to visit the new director?"

He Yuzhu took a long time to recover and said, "Da Mao, did you go to talk to Jia Dongxu again?"

Xu Damao groaned and said, "Do you think I want to see him? I just squatted down in the toilet and he came in to clean up. When he saw me, his face wasn't a face and his nose wasn't a nose."

He Yuzhu joked: "If I were Jia Dongxu, I would just throw you into the cesspool."

Xu Damao quickly said: "Zhu Zi, don't tell me, I was holding my pants with both hands and ready to take off at any time."

Seeing Xu Damao return to his usual optimistic state, He Yuzhu said: "Da Mao, let's take some time to go to the hospital for a physical examination."

Xu Damao touched He Yuzhu's forehead and asked in confusion: "Zhuzi, you don't have a fever, do you? Have you ever seen a healthy person go to that place for nothing?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he realized that people in this era had no awareness of taking the initiative to have physical examinations.

However, I would feel guilty if I didn't go get a check-up with Damao.

So He Yuzhu said: "Da Mao, you are getting married soon, and I am also going to get engaged. Let's go get a check-up. I happen to know a little about medicinal food, so let's check and make up for the gaps."

When Xu Damao heard this, he thought that made sense. If anything happened, it would be good to make up for it in advance.

So he no longer felt uncomfortable and said calmly: "Zhu Zi, when are you going to the hospital, call me."

Seeing that Xu Damao had finally relented, He Yuzhu quickly said, "Damo, let's do it this weekend."

When Xu Damao heard this, he thought about it and decided that he had nothing to do this weekend, so he nodded and agreed.

He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao who was about to leave and asked: "Da Mao, you didn't come to me just to tell me about Jia Dongxu's report to the toilet, did you?"

Xu Damao slapped his forehead and said, "Zhu Zi, I forgot to tell you when you interrupted me. I came here to tell you that Jia Dongxu compensated me. I didn't make things difficult for him. This matter is over. I came here to tell you."

He Yuzhu said: "Da Mao, this is the right thing to do. We can't let others find fault with us. Let's go home and have a drink together tonight."

When Xu Damao heard that there would be a little wine to drink, he asked He Yuzhu to prepare the dishes and handed the wine to him. After that, he left the cafeteria.

Watching Xu Damao leave, He Yuzhu returned to his recliner to promote the metabolism of brain cells.

When the bell rang for the end of get off work, He Yuzhu stood up and stretched, said a few simple words to everyone in the kitchen, and then rode his bike off work.

I got to the alley entrance, found an empty alley, took out enough food for tonight, and rode my bike back to the courtyard, whistling.

Returning to the central courtyard and looking at the room that had been completely disfigured, He Yuzhu looked forward to the day when it would be revitalized.

When he arrived at the old lady's place in the backyard, he briefly greeted her and asked her if she wanted to eat anything. After hearing the answer was no, He Yuzhu prepared tonight's dishes according to his own ideas.

After a while, Xiao Yushui also returned home happily from school.

He Yuzhu refused her offer to help buy the food and asked her to finish her homework so as not to miss dinner.

Xu Damao came with a bottle of specially supplied Moutai, so the two brothers worked together and got busy.

After the two brothers finished cooking, the dishes were served on the table. They asked the old lady if she wanted to drink Moutai. Today, the old lady said she didn't want to drink anything.

The two were drinking and chatting about all sorts of things when Yan Jiecheng came over and said, "Brother Zhuzi, Brother Damao, my father said that Master Yi is going to call a meeting for the entire hospital tonight."

Xu Damao subconsciously said, "Could it be that the old man wants to get back at Jia Dongxu in the courtyard?"

He Yuzhu asked Yan Jiecheng to sit down and have a drink together.

When Yan Jiecheng saw that it was Moutai, he didn't act pretentiously and said that he had never drunk Moutai in his life. After that, he took a cup and sat down.

He Yuzhu said to Xu Damao: "It shouldn't be about you and Jia Dongxu. What's the matter? You'll know after dinner when you go and have a look."

When Xu Damao heard this, he thought it was true, so the three of them started toasting each other again.

Watching the three people finish their meal, clean up, and prepare to go to the middle courtyard.

The old lady said, "Zhu Zi, for your aunt's sake, please don't embarrass your uncle."

He Yuzhu paused for a moment and said to the old lady: "Old lady, as long as it is not directed at me and Damao, we will only be ears and not mouths, so you can rest assured."

Looking at the three people leaving, the old lady murmured: "Zhonghai, I hope you can see clearly."

The three of them strolled to the central courtyard, found a few pieces of leftover wood in front of He Yuzhu's door, and sat down.

Soon, the neighbors who had finished their dinner arrived at the central courtyard one after another, each finding a seat and chatting with each other.

Listening to the neighbors asking each other questions in confusion, He Yuzhu thought that he should just find a corner and watch quietly tonight.

Seeing that almost all the families in the courtyard had arrived, the three uncles in charge walked towards their exclusive seats. The first uncle Yi Zhonghai sat in the middle, and the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui sat on both sides of him respectively.

As the three stewards took their seats, everyone in the courtyard stopped talking and their eyes turned to the three masters on the stage.

The third uncle Yan Fugui, who was the host of the meeting, stood up and said, "Today's meeting was initiated by the first uncle. Let's let the first uncle talk about what happened."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai slowly stood up and said, "Neighbors, under the leadership of our three uncles, our courtyard has always been a civilized courtyard in our street."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he realized that in his previous life, the leader would talk about honors and contributions first in a meeting, which was definitely not a good thing. It seemed that things would not be peaceful tonight.

At this time, passerby A who wanted to worship the uncle as his teacher shouted: "This is all because of the good leadership of the three uncles in charge."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai took one look and thought that he was capable of handling things and was qualified to be a backup trainee apprentice.

So he said, "My dear neighbors, let me make it short. Our Jia family from the Intermediate Court was fined a sum of money because Jia Dongxu accidentally made a mistake and was forced to reassign his job at the steel mill."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought, what will be presented tonight will not be the plot of the old man Yi Zhonghai morally blackmailing the neighbors of the Jia family into donating money.

Yi Zhonghai, the eldest uncle, paused and looked at the reactions of the crowd before saying, "The life of the orphans and widows of the Jia family is already difficult, and with this sudden change, the Jia family is really unable to afford the expenses of Jia Dongxu's wedding banquet, so the purpose of holding this meeting is to hope that everyone can lend a hand."

Before Uncle Yi Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, there was a loud roar from the audience and a huge discussion began.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai was afraid that the situation was out of his control, so he quickly said loudly: "As an uncle, I will take the lead and donate fifty."

After saying that, he put the five big black tens into the donation box that had been prepared long ago, and then looked at the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui behind him.

In order to maintain his position as the second uncle, the second uncle stood up and said, "I am not as wealthy as the first uncle, so I will donate thirty."

The third uncle Yan Fugui knew he couldn't escape, so he stood up and said with gritted teeth: "My salary is not as high as the first and second uncles, so I will donate five, or three yuan."

Afterwards, the three uncles who had donated the money turned their eyes to the people in the courtyard.

But no one was rich, and their lives were tight, so how could they care about others? So no one spoke up.

After a long while, Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at the people in the courtyard who had remained silent, and he felt extremely anxious.

After scanning the entire audience, his eyes stopped on the three people watching the show.

At this moment, He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, who were still listening to Yan Jiecheng's explanation of how uncomfortable the third uncle Yan Fugui would feel when he returned home after donating three dollars tonight, did not know that they had been targeted by the first uncle.

The three people who were analyzing with great interest suddenly heard the uncle Yi Zhonghai say: "Zhu Zi, Xu Damao, you two are the highest paid among the younger generation in our hospital, you two should start."

When the third uncle Yan Fugui heard that the first uncle only mentioned the names of He Yuzhu and Xu Damao, but did not mention Yan Jiecheng who was sitting next to them, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

The two people who were suddenly named were a little confused. They were hiding so secretly and just wanted to be a quiet and invisible person, so how come they were discovered?

Now that he has been named, he can't pretend to be deaf and dumb. He Yuzhu was about to stand up when Xu Damao pulled him and said, "Uncle, I'm getting married after the New Year and I'm short of money. Zhuzi has almost spent all the money on renovating the house. I'm sorry that we can't do anything. Please ask someone else."

After saying that, he sat down and continued to act stupidly.

How could Yi Zhonghai, an old man, let them go? He said hurriedly: "Da Mao, Dongxu has compensated you fifty yuan, so you can donate thirty or twenty yuan."

Then he turned his gaze to He Yuzhu and said, "Zhuzi, you have a high salary, and you can also earn some money by helping in the kitchen. It's a good opportunity for you to donate thirty or fifty yuan, and by the way, ease the relationship with the Jia family. We are all in the same courtyard and we will see each other sooner or later."

At this moment, Jia Zhang also said: "Zhu Zi, you said you have no money, who would believe it? You see, the materials you used to renovate the house are all top-notch. You don't need to donate too much, just fifty will be enough, and you will be a good neighbor of our Jia family in the future."

When He Yuzhu and Xu Damao heard this, they looked at each other and thought that this was not a donation, but a donation slip.

He Yuzhu felt that he had to speak up at this moment, because some neighbors, instigated by Uncle Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang, looked at him with strange eyes.

So he stood up and said, "Uncle, I want to ask if this donation is voluntary or mandatory."

He Yuzhu didn't want to embarrass the uncle for the sake of the old lady and the aunt, so he gave the uncle a cold shoulder.

Everyone wanted to know the answer to He Yuzhu's question, so everyone looked at the old man Yi Zhonghai.

Uncle Yi Zhonghai looked at the people who were looking at him and said with a smile: "Zhu Zi, we are all neighbors in the same courtyard. Everyone has difficult times. If you help others, it will also be convenient for you in the future, right?"

When everyone heard what was going on, they turned their attention to He Yuzhu.

He Yuzhu glanced at the old man Yi Zhonghai, then looked around at everyone in the yard, took a deep breath and thought, I'm sorry, old lady.

After thinking about it, he pushed the crowd away and walked towards the yard. The two groups of people suddenly had different expressions.

Watching He Yuzhu walking toward the center of the stage, uncle Yi Zhonghai was delighted, thinking that He Yuzhu was moved by his great love and came on stage to donate money.

Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao were puzzled as to when the fighting power of this pillar became so low.

Seeing He Yuzhu approaching the stage, Jia Zhang said happily: "Zhuzi, just donate fifty yuan as a token of your appreciation."

Upon hearing Jia Zhang's delusion, He Yuzhu just glanced at her indifferently.

He Yuzhu walked to the front of the stage and turned to the crowd and said, "Uncle, as far as I know, although Jia Dongxu was transferred to another position, his salary was not increased. Jia Zhang's cleaning of public health is not for nothing."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai quickly said: "We have already paid the fines, so we are asking everyone to donate some for emergency use."

He Yuzhu smiled and said to everyone: "All the workers in the steel mill know that Jia Dongxu was transferred because he destroyed the factory's public finances without reason and beat up his colleagues, which had a particularly bad impact. He was fined. I want to ask you, what Jia Dongxu did was quite honorable, and we organized donations for him."

After hearing this, Jia Zhang became anxious and said, "Zhu Zi, what do you mean? My Dong Xu was instigated by someone. This matter is all blamed on my Dong Xu. How unfair."

Uncle Yi Zhonghai also hurriedly said: "Zhu Zi, why are you still talking about the past? What we are discussing today is not about finding a way to get Zhongxu married."

He Yuzhu smiled and asked, "Uncle Yi, I want to ask what the standard is for accepting donations in our hospital? Aunt Liu in the front yard is raising three children by herself, why don't you organize donations? Uncle San's family lives on his salary of 27.5 yuan, why don't you organize donations? Last year, my father ran away, leaving my brother and me alone, why don't you organize donations? Just because Jia Dongxu is your apprentice, does the whole hospital have to revolve around him? I hope you can give me an answer."

He glanced at Yi Zhonghai, an old man with a red face, and his neighbor who was lost in thought in the yard.

He Yuzhu said again: "I am still young, I want to ask the three uncles and neighbors, is it in line with our core ideology to organize donations for a person who gambles, destroys public finances, and beats others?" (I am afraid that this will be censored, please think of a suitable alternative word, thank you.)

Before the three uncles give me a clear answer, please don’t ask me whether I will donate or not. The answer is that I don’t have the money, because I want to donate my money clearly and cleanly.

After saying this, he no longer paid attention to the three confused uncles and everyone in the courtyard, and left in a cool manner.

Looking at He Yuzhu who had returned from Desheng with full firepower, Xu Damao said: "Zhuzi, you are awesome."

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at him and said, "I just don't want to be morally blackmailed. If this starts, there will be no peace in the future."

At this time, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui, who were not reluctant to donate, said to the first uncle Yi Zhonghai: "Old Yi, what Zhuzi said does make some sense. After all, Dongxu made a mistake and we organized donations right after. If this gets to the street office, we will have a hard time explaining it."

After that, the two of them walked to the donation box to take back their donations.

Just as he was about to reach out his hand, he saw a black shadow that looked like a wild boar spirit pick up the donation box at lightning speed and run away. He only heard its loud voice saying, "Once it's in my Jia family's donation box, there's no reason to take it back."

Looking at Jia Zhang who had already run back home and closed the door, the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui could only cry in the wind and look at each other in silence.
