Siheyuan: Starting from Building a Village

Although it was only a dime, it broke the deadlock.

Seeing that Yan Bugui gritted his teeth and donated ten cents, Liu Haizhong felt embarrassed to remain silent. He took out a dollar from his pocket and threw it into the donation box.

"As a senior in the hospital, I will donate five dollars."

Yi Zhonghai took out five dollars and threw it into the donation box, then looked around and waited for everyone to respond actively.

The result was different from what was expected.

Apart from these three people, no one below was willing to donate.

This is just after the Chinese New Year, and we have just started working for three days. We are all waiting for this month's salary. How can ordinary people have extra money? They don't earn much in the first place.

Qin Huairu was tired of crying now, and there was no sound, she just shed tears silently.

No wonder people say women are made of water.

Just look at Qin Huairu and you will know.

"Da Mao, it's your turn. As the most capable young man in our hospital, you should take the lead."

Yi Zhonghai set his sights on Xu Damao again.

"Cough cough."

Xu Fugui in the crowd coughed a few times hurriedly and winked at Xu Damao, fearing that Xu Damao would be too embarrassed to donate as he did before, so he donated a few yuan at a time.

"Okay, then I'll donate some on behalf of our family."

Xu Damao agreed readily, took out a penny and put it into the donation box.

Seeing Xu Damao took out a penny, Xu Fugui nodded with satisfaction, feeling very relieved: Damao has changed completely, that's good, the Xu family has a successor, I'll have two taels of rice for dinner when I go back in the evening.

Yi Zhonghai was dumbfounded.

When did Xu Damao become so stingy? He only donated one cent?

Could it be that since Shazhu is not here, there is no one to stimulate him?

Ugh!

Sorrow!

What to do next? No one is moving.

"Xu Damao, Master Zhu despises you."

“I’ll donate five dollars.”

At the critical moment, Sha Zhu walked in from outside, carrying two lunch boxes and with his hands behind his back.

"Zhu Zi, good job, this is a real man in the city."

Yi Zhonghai was overjoyed, his savior had returned.

"Zhu Zi, thank you, Sister Qin. What would I do without you?"

Sha Zhu just loved it. Hearing Sister Qin say thank you in person, Sha Zhu felt full of strength.

He handed the five dollars to Qin Huairu personally, and touched her little hand as if she had eaten bee poop, and then handed the lunch box to Qin Huairu.

"Sister Qin, take this lunch box. It's full of meat."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and was unhappy: "Shazhu, you fool, do you think you can touch Qin Huairu's little hand?" I am so angry.

"Sister Qin, how much money have you donated?"

Sha Zhu was reluctant to leave Qin Huairu's side. Sister Qin smelled so good that he would miss her if he didn't smell her for a day.

Qin Huairu didn't say anything and her tears began to fall again.

It made Shazhu feel so distressed.

He took the donation box from Qin Huairu and squinted his eyes to take a look inside. Wow, it was six dollars and ten cents.

"Hmph, look at you guys, are you still the masters of our city? There are only a hundred of us, but we only donated this little. You don't feel ashamed, but I do."

"I am a fool, ashamed to be associated with you."

Sha Zhu had no choice. He had just earned the five dollars today and usually had no money on him. When Jia Dongxu was there, all the money was borrowed by Jia Dongxu. Now that Jia Dongxu was in jail, no one asked him to borrow money, and he still had no money.

Because he took the initiative to give all the money to Qin Huairu.

"When you go out next time, don't say you are from our excellent courtyard. I can't afford to lose face."

"Pah. A bunch of cowards."

Sha Zhu looked at the group of people in the courtyard with disdain.

"Zhu Zi is right. Everyone has times when their stirrups are too short. Helping others is helping yourself."

"Think about it, everyone. When you are in trouble, how would you feel if everyone stood by and watched you?"

“So, people should not only care about themselves, but also help others. Let’s work together to pass on our fine traditions, make our academy a role model for Nanluoguxiang, and let the spirit of helping others shine on everyone.”

Sha Zhu came, and Yi Zhonghai had something to say again, and he incited everyone again.

"I say, we can't let people look down on us. Shazhu is right. We are all men in this city, and we should all help out a little bit."

"Yes, yes, I was just thinking about it, I will donate it right away."

"Yes, yes, what the uncle said is right. Everyone has difficulties sometimes. I will help you with this."

"That makes sense. Helping others is helping yourself."

"No, I always feel like something is wrong."

"What's wrong with that? You just think too much. Look at how good the uncle said it was. If it wasn't the wrong occasion, I would kowtow to the uncle."

“…”

Listening to the discussions below, Yi Zhonghai smiled with satisfaction.

Qin Huairu also kept bowing and saying words of gratitude.

But when they actually brought the donation box to them, most of the donations they received were ten cents or five cents.

There were a few who donated fifty cents, but were still severely twisted around the waist by their own wives.

People did move, but still did not meet expectations.

"Hey, is this new here?"

Sha Zhu looked around and was sure that he could not get any more money out of this, so he turned his attention to Gu Nian.

"Zhu Zi, you're back late. Let me introduce you to Gu Nian, our factory's new auto mechanic. He's a skilled worker with a good salary."

"Comrade Gu Nian, this is He Yuzhu. We all affectionately call him Shazhu. As you can see, Shazhu is a warm-hearted person. Don't worry, as long as Shazhu is here at the steel mill, we will definitely have enough to eat."

Yi Zhonghai said this very bluntly.

Xu Damao was so angry after hearing this that he wanted to stand up and say something back, but was stopped by Gu Nian again.

"Hello, my name is Gu Nian."

Gu Nian nodded towards Sha Zhu.

"My name is Sha Zhu. I'm the chef at the steel mill. I specialize in cooking. I can feed people and make them eat well."

After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he handed the donation box to Gu Nian.

Gu Nian did not refuse either. He also took out a dime from his pocket and put it in.

"Master Gu, this is not good, is it? You are a skilled worker."

Sha Zhu thought it was too little, and Yi Zhonghai also thought it was too little.

"Master Gu, you are a capable person, please help us orphans and widows."

After she finished speaking, the tears started again. Qin Huairu took advantage of everyone's inattention and gave Gu Nian a subtle look.

Gu Nian frowned.

Oh my god, who are these people?

At this moment, Gu Nian felt a little regretful. At that time, she gave gifts worth several hundred dollars in order to choose a big house.

Finally, this place was chosen.

unlucky!
