Siheyuan: Father Yi Zhonghai and Sister-in-law Lou Xiaoe

"The street office leader is here!"

No one knew which neighbor shouted, but everyone looked outside.

Yi Zhonghai, who had just walked into Yi Bufan's small courtyard, turned around and walked out again.

When someone comes from the subdistrict office, he, as the person in charge, has to meet them.

For a week, everyone in the entire city was living in fear.

These days, everyone has been engaged in post-earthquake reconstruction work.

We also hope that all industries can recover as soon as possible.

At the same time, the rescue work for the people in the disaster area is nearing completion.

However, reconstruction work in the disaster-stricken areas has gradually started.

Propaganda calls for helping people in the disaster-stricken areas to resume normal life as soon as possible also began to be heard on the streets.

"When one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid" has become the most common phrase we hear.

Now, the leadership team of the subdistrict office has stepped into the courtyard, which is naturally related to this matter.

"It just so happens that everyone is here, so there's no need to call."

"Let's take advantage of this time to hold a brief meeting of the whole institute."

"To be precise, it should be considered a fundraising meeting."

"Everyone knows that there was a big earthquake a few days ago."

"We have also suffered some damage here, but the damage to the earthquake center is even greater."

"So far, the death toll is still increasing. This cannot be changed. However, we need to help the victims rebuild the disaster area."

"Accept the call from above and start fundraising."

"Based on the principle of voluntariness, we can contribute as much as we want. If one side is in trouble, all sides will come to its aid."

"On my own behalf, I will donate one hundred dollars."

As Wang Tiejun spoke, he took out ten Great Unity notes from his pocket and put them into the wooden box in front of him.

Liu Neng next to him was also taking notes on paper.

"I'll donate fifty dollars!"

Liu Neng also made a note of it for himself.

Then people from the other two street offices also donated twenty yuan.

"Everyone, please donate first. I'll go home and prepare."

Yi Bufan glanced at Yi Zhonghai, then turned around and went back to the house.

"As soon as I heard about the donation, I ran away. It's really nice of me to pay such a high salary."

Jia Zhang curled her lips.

"Isn't this normal? When the earthquake happened before, they had good food and drink all by themselves, and didn't share any with us. We even had to buy them with our own money."

"Now his true colors are revealed. Who is he?"

Sha Zhu also said this.

Naturally, he would not miss any opportunity to belittle Yi Bufan.

"I think they are just evil capitalists. They make so much money but don't even know how to share it with everyone. They are reluctant to donate to the disaster victims."

The Jia Zhang triangle stared at the courtyard of Yi Bufan's house.

"Yes, the capitalists."

"Leader, people like this should have been driven out of our courtyard long ago, arrested and given a good education."

Shazhu said this and started to set the pace again.

There were actually people who joined in the fun.

"That's right. He's the head of the security department. Shouldn't he take the lead in donating money at this time?"

"Yeah, why doesn't an uncle take the lead in donating money?"

"Leader, then can we not donate money?"

"The salary is so high, but he doesn't even want to contribute a little to help the disaster victims. I don't think he's fit to be a manager."

"Then Yi Bufan is no longer qualified to be the head of the security department."

"Didn't Section Chief Yi just say that they went home to prepare?"

"That's right. When we collected donations in the yard before, it was always the uncle who took the lead in donating. There's no way he wouldn't donate this time."

"I also think it's impossible not to donate. Even Yi Bufan is usually nice to everyone."

"..."

All of a sudden, all the neighbors started talking about it, some said good things, some said bad things.

"Okay, stop arguing."

"I have made it very clear just now that donations are voluntary. You can donate as much as you want, or you don't have to donate if you don't want to."

Wang Tiejun was also a little confused. Did he still need to prepare donations?

However, we can't let everyone continue to make trouble at this time.

"It's none of your business what happens to others, just take care of your own business."

"I'll donate twenty dollars, too."

Xu Damao didn't know what Yi Zhonghai and Yi Bufan were doing, but he still believed that they would not donate a penny.

"Yes, just take care of yourself. I'll donate twenty dollars too."

"Silly, what about you?"

Nan Yi looked at Sha Zhu.

"Why do you care what I do!"

Sha Zhu originally intended to donate a few dollars and be done with it, but Nan Yi, who is also a chef, donated twenty dollars, which was a bit stressful.

"Silly Zhu, weren't you shouting quite loudly just now?"

"You don't sound like someone who wouldn't donate. Otherwise, it's not a good thing to just criticize others without doing anything yourself."

"Or are you not as good as Chef Nan?"

Xu Damao lit a cigarette and looked at Sha Zhu with a smile.

"That's right, you were shouting so loudly just now, but you didn't donate!"

Yan Jiefang also started shouting.

"Why are you yelling? Yi Zhonghai is a great man and he hasn't donated yet. What's wrong with me not donating?"

"Yi Bufan is the head of the security department. If he doesn't donate, why should I?"

Sha Zhu's shouting was also justified.

"If they donate, how much will you donate?"

Xu Damao blew out a few smoke rings and asked with a smile.

"Well, I can do it for a few bucks."

"If he has the ability, he can donate a thousand dollars!"

Sha Zhu snorted coldly.

"That's right. If you have the ability to donate a thousand dollars, donating a few or tens of dollars when you earn so much is nothing."

Jia Zhang also shouted.

"Oh, I didn't realize that. Just now they were fighting each other, but now they are following the husband and wife."

"It seems that you two still have feelings for each other."

"It's not for nothing that I got married twice."

Yi Bufan walked out with a smile, followed by Yi Zhonghai, Auntie and Xu Xiaoran.

"none of your business!"

What Sha Zhu least wants now is to be associated with Jia Zhang.

Naturally, I didn't want Yi Bufan to say that.

However, just as he finished speaking, he was slapped by Yi Bufan.

"When you speak, watch your attitude. Weren't you the one who was meddling in our affairs just now?"

"By the way, you asked us to donate 1,000 yuan just now?"

"If we donate one thousand dollars, how much will you donate?"

Yi Bufan glared at Sha Zhu with his round eyes. Sha Zhu covered his face but did not dare to fight with Yi Bufan, as he could not win.

“Don’t brag!”

"If you can donate a thousand dollars, I'll donate a hundred dollars!"

Since Jia Zhang was not beaten, she naturally shouted whatever she wanted.

"Yo, really?"

"Then I wonder if you are saying this for Qin Huairu or for your ex-husband Sha Zhu?"

"After all, you don't earn a salary."

Yi Bufan looked at Jia Zhang with a smile.

"I have nothing to do with her. She has nothing to do with me since she married into the He family."

"It's her business how much she donates, I'll donate five dollars!"

Qin Huairu directly took out five dollars and put it in the box without even looking at Jia Zhangshi.

"It seems that you are the one bragging. You are not brave enough to make such a fuss when you can't even donate a penny."

Xu Xiaoran glanced at Jia Zhang.
