Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Seeing the situation getting out of control, uncle Yi Zhonghai could only pretend to faint and was supported by an aunt as he walked home.

When the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui saw that the organizer and the recipient had run away, they wondered what was the point of holding the meeting, so they announced the adjournment of the meeting and left.

Auntie looked at Uncle Yi Zhonghai who was sitting at home without saying a word and said: "Old Yi, take it easy. Don't ruin your reputation for the Jia family."

The aunt didn't know whether Uncle Yi Zhonghai heard it or not, she only heard Uncle Yi Zhonghai mutter to himself: "How dare he? He wasn't like this before. Why is he like a different person now?"

Jia Zhang ran home with the donation box in one breath. Looking at the seventy-three yuan in her hand, she was very happy. She felt that it was not a loss at all to get so much money for free.

Jia Dongxu looked at his mother silently, recalling everything that had just happened in the yard. His eyes became more depressed and hatred surged in his heart.

Only the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep, because they discovered that they seemed to be the only ones who lost tonight.

He Yuzhu, lying in bed, also couldn't fall asleep for a long time.

He Yuzhu, who originally did not want to have a head-on conflict with the uncle Yi Zhonghai, felt after this incident that clashes of ideas between him and the uncle would happen frequently in the future, and this was inevitable.

In order to prevent his daily life from being disturbed by these intrigues in the courtyard, He Yuzhu felt that he needed to ask for external help from Director Wang of the street.

He Yuzhu, whose mentality was disturbed, found it difficult to fall asleep, so he went to read in his space to divert his attention. However, he did not realize that he liked the feeling of being ecstatic while reading more and more.

Only System Lao Liu watched all this silently, smiled knowingly and said: "I hope that our efforts can allow Zhuzi to help realize these regrets."

After having breakfast early in the morning, He Yuzhu said hello to Master Jin and others who came to work, then rode his bicycle to the steel mill.

After arriving at the cafeteria and arranging his tasks, He Yuzhu went to Director Qian's office.

When Director Qian saw that it was He Yuzhu, he settled the recent bills.

He Yuzhu was not polite and put the money in his pocket. He said to Director Qian: "Director, if I have nothing to do this afternoon, I have to go to the street office to take care of some personal matters."

When Director Qian heard this, he thought for a moment and said, "Then go if you have nothing to do after noon."

He Yuzhu hurriedly said: "Okay, Director Qian, I'll get busy first."

After lunch, He Yuzhu waited for a while and made sure that everything was fine. Then he took out the approval slip that Director Qian had given him, got on his bike and went out.

When we arrived at the door, the same old rules were followed: Mudan led the way, followed by the approval slip, and the whole process was so smooth that we were able to leave smoothly, much to the envy of the security officers.

On the way to the street office, He Yuzhu found an empty corner, took out a bag of fruit from the space and put it on the handlebars.

After entering the street office, I randomly asked a street staff member for a cigarette and learned that Director Wang was resting in the office.

He Yuzhu looked at his watch and thought that Director Wang should have had enough rest, so he went straight to the office.

When I got to the door and knocked, I heard Director Wang shout, "Come in."

He Yuzhu pushed the door open and said, "Auntie Wang, I hope I didn't disturb your rest."

Director Wang saw that it was He Yuzhu and said with a smile: "Zhuzi, your intelligence is very accurate. You knew I was resting."

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Auntie Wang, I was worried that you were busy and not in the office, so I just asked someone."

Director Wang said: "Zhu Zi, you are becoming more and more cunning."

He Yuzhu said immediately, "Auntie Wang, this is all due to the training in the factory and your good teaching."

Director Wang smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, you are becoming more and more sweet now. Tell me, what do you want to see me about today?"

He Yuzhu was not hypocritical and said openly: "Auntie Wang, I have some doubts that I would like to ask you to answer."

Director Wang said seriously, "Zhu Zi, tell me, what are your doubts?"

He Yuzhu said: "Auntie Wang, what are the duties of the steward of our courtyard?"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang asked, "Zhu Zi, why are you asking this all of a sudden? Did something happen in your hospital?"

He Yuzhu felt that the foreshadowing was almost complete, so he said, "Auntie Wang, last night an old man in our courtyard, Yi Zhonghai, organized a donation to Jia Dongxu, but I didn't agree. I want to ask what the criteria for organizing donations are."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang was also very surprised and said, "Zhu Zi, are you telling the truth? Did your hospital really organize a donation to Jia Dongxu last night?"

He Yuzhu said quickly: "Auntie Wang, I can't lie to you about this. Just go to our courtyard and ask anyone to find out whether it's true or not."

Upon hearing this, Director Wang frowned and said, "Jia Dongxu has been making mistakes one after another recently. Donating to him is like aiding and abetting the evil."

Director Wang paused and said, "Zhu Zi, your courtyard has always been a civilized courtyard, so I have always been very confident in your courtyard. I didn't expect that there would be such a thing in your courtyard. Tell me if you have any other confusion?"

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought that if he could remove the shackles of the three masters in the courtyard as soon as possible, he would have fewer worries in the future.

So he said, "Auntie Wang, some time ago, Jia Zhang took advantage of me going to the backyard to deliver food to the old lady and broke into my house and snatched the food. Xiao Yushui was so scared that she still has a shadow in her heart when she sees Jia Zhang. She has nightmares every day."

Director Wang thought about Jia Zhang's temper and asked with fear in his heart: "Zhu Zi, is there such a thing? Why don't you ask me or your uncle Zhou? This is a crime."

He Yuzhu replied: "Auntie Wang, I was definitely not happy when I came back. I had a quarrel with Jia Zhang at that time. Jia Zhang wanted me to pay 30 yuan. Second uncle Liu Haizhong and first uncle Yi Zhonghai also supported me. The two of them even organized a meeting of the whole hospital to ask me to pay compensation. I refused to do so. In the end, I had no choice but to report to the police station before I let Jia Zhang pay me the money."

He Yuzhu looked at Director Wang, who was thinking seriously, and thought to himself, I said they compensated me, but I just didn’t say how much. What I said was very objective, right?

Then he added fuel to the fire and asked, "Auntie Wang, do the managers of the various courtyards have so much power? They even need special seats for meetings. Auntie Wang, I'm young and I don't quite understand."

When Director Wang heard this, he thought to himself that it was a good thing that Zhuzi was small and easily impulsive, otherwise he would not have known that there were so many dark things happening in this civilized courtyard.

Seeing He Yuzhu's bitter expression, Director Wang pondered for a while and said, "Zhuzi, I know about your hospital's affairs. Let's have a meeting this afternoon to discuss it, and I'll deal with it in the evening."

When He Yuzhu heard this, he thought that the functional departments nowadays were really efficient. If this happened in the future, he would not dare to imagine it.

He Yu felt that he had almost finished expressing his doubts, so he placed the fruit he brought on Director Wang's desk and stood up to say goodbye.

After leaving the neighborhood office, He Yuzhu resisted the urge to go look for Sister Lou to relieve his homesickness. He thought it would be better to go back to the steel mill and go off work with everyone else. This way, even if everyone suspected it was me at night, I would have gone to get off work and back home normally. Even if they suspected me, do you have any evidence?

Back in the cafeteria, everyone in the kitchen looked at He Yuzhu in confusion, wondering what was wrong with him. He used to skip work for days at a time.

Seeing everyone looking at him in confusion, He Yuzhu said without hesitation: "I just finished my work and it's still early, so I'll hurry back to continue serving my fellow workers."

After saying this, He Yuzhu didn't care whether others believed it or not, he believed it anyway.

I went back to the recliner, squinted my eyes and pretended to sleep, but in fact I was reading a book.

When the bell rang for the end of get off work, He Yuzhu did not rush to be the first to leave the factory. Instead, he slowly pushed his bicycle towards the gate of the steel mill.

Along the way, I greeted everyone I knew warmly, and at the factory gate, I happened to meet Xu Damao who was about to leave the factory.

Xu Damao didn't expect He Yuzhu to have not left yet, so he joked: "Zhuzi, why aren't you the fastest in your steel rolling mill today?"

He Yuzhu rolled his eyes at Xu Damao and said, "Isn't this Xu Damao who hasn't come to the factory for a month? How come you have time to come and visit the factory today?"

Xu Damao heard this and quickly admitted defeat, "Zhu Zi, I have some things to do in the Propaganda Department today. I got some wild delicacies today. Let's drink some tonight."

After saying that, they rode their bicycles back to the courtyard together.

He Yuzhu also thought it would be nice to drink some wine and watch a show in the evening.

So he patted Damao on the shoulder and said, "Damo, get me a bottle of good wine, and I'll invite you to watch the show."

Xu Damao was confused and said: "Zhu Zi, the drama you sang last night was not big enough, what big drama will you sing tonight?"

He Yuzhu said in an unfathomable manner: "Da Mao, just watch this big show tonight. I guarantee you will be satisfied. How about a competition?"

When Xu Damao heard that He Yuzhu wanted to race against him, he pedaled hard and accelerated quickly, then shouted: "Zhuzi, come on, who's afraid of who? Whoever loses will wash the dishes tonight."

He Yuzhu took one look and shouted, "Da Mao, you have no moral principles." Then he hurriedly rushed forward.

Although Xu Damao often went to the countryside to show movies, he had been exploited too much by Qin Huairu recently. In the end, He Yuzhu won with his advantage of being a virgin.

At the gate of the courtyard, He Yuzhu looked at Xu Damao who was exhausted and out of breath and sneered: "Da Mao, are you not capable? With your physical strength, my sister-in-law Huairu doesn't despise you."

When Xu Damao heard this, he came up with a plan and said, "Zhu Zi, how about I tell you about that matter, so that I can teach you some experience. Don't get worried when you can't find the entrance."

When He Yuzhu heard these lewd words, he blushed for the first time.

So he said angrily: "Da Mao, you better take care of yourself. You should go and get checked out honestly on the weekend. Look at how weak you are. Aren't you afraid that it will affect your pregnancy?"

Xu Damao thought to himself, is it really possible that I am not capable of this? I should go and get checked out, I can’t delay my plan of having a baby.

So he said: "Zhu Zi, let's go early in the morning on the weekend. The sooner we go, the sooner we can get the results."

When He Yuzhu saw that his intimidation had worked, he naturally agreed quickly.

The two of them came to the central courtyard and took a look at the work done by Master Jin and his apprentices. They both felt that Master Jin and his apprentices did have good skills.

When he returned to the backyard, he saw little Yu Shui boredly reading a comic book. Xu Damao said, "Yu Shui, go to my house and get something. Ask your brother to make something delicious for you."

When Xiao Yushui heard that there was something delicious to eat, she instantly felt less bored and followed Xu Damao.

He Yuzhu chatted with the old lady while washing his hands. After a while, he saw Xiao Yushui coming with a bunch of wild delicacies.

When He Yuzhu saw that the stewed chicken must be delicious, he pushed the cart out and pretended to buy a chicken.

He rode his bike out of the alley and found an empty corner. He took out a chicken from the space and returned to the courtyard.

In order to avoid suspicion, He Yuzhu packed a chicken by himself. As he packed, he thought that he would have to carry a handbag with him at all times to cover up when taking things from the space.

After returning home and washing up and changing clothes, Xu Damao, who came over with Fenjiu, said, "Zhu Zi, where did the chicken come from?"

He Yuzhu said: "I just went out to buy it, and I didn't walk far when I ran into one, and he was packing it up."

Xu Damao also said sensibly: "Zhu Zi, leave this job to me, you can go do something else."

He Yuzhu said, "Da Mao, clean it up." Then he went to the kitchen to prepare other side dishes.

After a while, Damao had prepared the chicken, and He Yuzhu wanted to put the dish of stewed chicken with mushrooms into the pot first.

As several side dishes were served one after another, the last main dish was also ready. Seeing that there were a lot of dishes tonight, He Yuzhu asked Xu Damao to call Yan Jiecheng and the two Liu brothers.

However, in the end, only Yan Jiecheng and Xu Damao came, and the two Liu brothers did not dare to go out due to the tyranny of the second uncle.

After Xu Damao sat down, he said angrily: "Zhu Zi, this Liu Erxiao is really annoying. I invited his son to dinner, but he was not happy about it."

He Yuzhu said helplessly: "Da Mao, the root of the problem is me, it's not your fault. Guangfu and Guangtian don't have to come if they don't want to, it's difficult for them too."

Yan Jiecheng interrupted and said, "Brother Damao, let's eat quickly. I'm already greedy."

Only Xiao Yushui, who was already gnawing on the chicken leg, thought, you are not as smart as me, you have eaten all the chicken leg.

The old lady seemed to know what Xiao Yushui was thinking. She looked at Xiao Yushui's cute appearance and smiled especially happily.

One bottle was not enough for the three of them, so He Yuzhu made an excuse to go to the kitchen and take out a bottle of Fenjiu from the space.

After the three of them finished two bottles, the amount was just right. Xu Damao accepted the loss and went to wash the dishes, while He Yuzhu and Yan Jiecheng accompanied the old lady to drink tea.

After Xu Damao finished washing the dishes and sat down, he said, "Zhu Zi, where is the big show you mentioned?"

When Yan Jiecheng heard this, he looked at He Yuzhu curiously.

He Yuzhu saw that the old lady's curiosity was aroused, but she didn't know how to start.

Yan Jiefang hurried over and said, "Old lady, Zhuzi, Damao, my father said that Director Wang from the street wants to hold a meeting in our yard and asked everyone to gather in the front yard."

So everyone followed Yan Jiefang to the front yard.

The three old men and the neighbors in the yard were all confused, looking at each other and whispering.

After a while, the street official who came to notify the meeting accompanied Director Wang and Director Zhou into the courtyard.

When everyone saw that Director Wang from the street office and Chief Zhou from the police station came at the same time, they knew that something big must have happened.

Xu Damao and Yan Jiecheng looked at the relaxed He Yuzhu and knew that the big show he had talked about was about to begin.

He Yuzhu, looking at Director Wang and Director Zhou who came with him, thought that this problem would be solved all at once tonight.

The next second, the official who accompanied the two leaders said, "Dear neighbors of the Siheyuan, today Director Wang of the street and Director Zhou of the police station are here to read out some things to you. Please applaud."
