Stay away from beasts in the world of Siheyuan

Xu Changping began to take Xiao Mi to work during the day and come back at night to teach her to read "Tangtou Song".

Xiao Mi made rapid progress. After a few days, she no longer needed Xu Changping to read to her. She only asked out loud when she encountered words she didn't know.

That day, Xu Changping had just brought Xiao Mi back to the courtyard when he was stopped by Yi Zhonghai.

"Xiao Xu! There will be a meeting at 7 o'clock tonight. Remember to come and attend."

"Got it, uncle." Xu Changping didn't seem to have a falling out with the old man Yi Zhonghai, so he didn't say anything and nodded in agreement.

Judging from the time, Jia Dongxu should be discharged from the hospital soon. It seems that this hospital meeting will most likely be about soliciting donations.

Pushing Xiao Mi into the central courtyard, Xu Changping glanced at the Jia family and saw that the lock on the door was gone. It seemed that Jia Zhang had returned.

During this period, he was busy teaching Xiao Mi and had no time to pay attention to Jia Dongxu's affairs. He didn't know how the factory finally resolved it.

It looks like he has to go to the backyard and ask Xu Damao for the factory's solution.

Thinking of this, Xu Changping first sent Xiao Mi home, let her play with Xiao Hei for a while, and then got up and went into the backyard.

“Boom boom boom…boom boom boom…”

"Who!"

After a few knocks, a woman's voice came from the Xu family's door, and Xu Changping's hand, which was knocking on the door, suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Could it be that Xu Damao is not at home?

That's a bit embarrassing.

At this point, he had to speak out despite the embarrassment, so he had to bite the bullet and say:

"Sister-in-law, I'm Xiao Xu from the East Courtyard, looking for Brother Damao."

"Xiao Xu! Your brother Damao has gone to the countryside to show movies and hasn't come back yet. What can I do for you?"

When Lou Xiao'e inside the door heard that it was Xu Changping, she opened the door directly and said with a smile.

"I don't have anything to do. I just haven't seen Brother Damao for a long time, and I wanted to come over to visit him." Xu Changping didn't know whether Lou Xiaoe knew about Jia Dongxu, so he didn't mention it.

"Is that so? Then when your brother Damao comes back, I'll ask him to invite you for a drink." Lou Xiao'e saw that Xu Changping was not telling the truth, so she didn't ask any more questions. She said with a smile in her eyes.

"Then sister-in-law, I will go back first."

Xu Changping glanced at the smile on Lou Xiao'e's face and regretted what he had just said.

He might as well explain it clearly to Lou Xiao'e, because he didn't know what Lou Xiao'e was thinking about just now.

After apologizing to Xu Damao in his heart, Xu Changping put the matter behind him and returned to the East Courtyard without any burden.

Seeing that it was almost 7 o'clock, Xu Changping told Xiao Mi to stay at home and read books, then he carried a small stool and went to the central courtyard.

Arriving at the central courtyard, Xu Changping glanced at the people around him, put the small stool directly under the corridor of He Yuzhu's house, and sat down against the pillar.

He didn't have to wait long before Yi Zhonghai brought Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui to the yard and sat down at a table that had been set up long ago.

Seeing that most people had arrived, Yi Zhonghai stood up first and talked about the latest policies before saying to everyone:

"Dear neighbors, today we are holding a meeting of the whole courtyard. The main purpose is to talk about the Jia family. I believe everyone in our courtyard knows that Jia Dongxu's leg was crushed."

After saying this, Yi Zhonghai looked at the people standing below, who showed no reaction, and started playing the emotional card again:

"Dongxu is a child with a miserable life. His father died when he was still a child. Jia Zhang had a lot of trouble raising him and was about to set up a family, but unexpectedly this happened."

Seeing that these words had worked, many sentimental women wiped their eyes. Yi Zhonghai then continued:

"Dongxu lost one of his legs. The Jia family is now old and young, and Qin Huairu is pregnant. They can't make ends meet. I convened a meeting to ask the young and old men in our courtyard to help them."

At this point, Qin Huairu, who had been standing aside crying, held her belly with one hand and held Jia Zhang with the other and stood in the open space in the middle.

Looking at Qin Huairu, who was pregnant and holding the gray-haired Jia Zhang, even though he knew the plot, Xu Changping couldn't help but feel a trace of pity in his heart.

"Our family really can't make ends meet anymore. Please help as much as you can!" Qin Huairu said, wiping the tears from her face.

Ever since Jia Dongxu found out that he had lost a leg, he was dissatisfied with everything and made trouble every day, making Qin Huairu very upset.

There was no fakeness in her tears at this moment; they were all genuine.

"I'll take the lead and donate twenty yuan to the Jia family." Seeing that the atmosphere was almost set, Yi Zhonghai took out twenty yuan and put it on the tray on the table.

"I'll donate ten yuan." Liu Haizhong glanced at Yi Zhonghai, suppressed his heartache and took out ten yuan and put it in.

"Everyone knows that I earn little, so I only donated five dollars." Yan Bugui felt very sad after donating five dollars.

But everyone in the hospital now knows that his son works in the purchasing department of a steel mill, and it would not look good if he donated too little.

There were three old men taking the lead. Everyone in the yard gave two pieces each and everyone else one piece. Soon the trays were full.

Yi Zhonghai had sharp eyes. He noticed at a glance that Xu Changping and He Yuzhu had not come up to donate, so he called out their names and said, "Zhuzi, Xu, you two are now considered cadres in the factory. Don't you want to donate some money to the elderly and weak in the hospital?"

Yi Zhonghai's statement was a form of moral kidnapping, which put the two men in a difficult position.

"Our He family donated 3 yuan. My daughter-in-law is pregnant, and the money at home is not enough." As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, He Daqing walked out from behind the crowd.

"He Daqing, when did you come back?" When Yi Zhonghai saw He Daqing, his eyes flashed and he said in surprise.

"I've been back for a few days." He Daqing said as he walked to the middle and put three dollars on the tray.

"Are you still leaving?" Yi Zhonghai asked tentatively.

The appearance of He Daqing directly disrupted his thoughts. He originally wanted He Yuzhu and Xu Changping to each contribute 20 yuan.

However, this plan was shattered when he saw He Daqing. He Daqing was a ruthless person. If he dared to push too hard, this guy would destroy the donation place.

"I won't leave for now. Let's wait until my grandson is born." He Daqing also saw the calculation in Yi Zhonghai's eyes, but he was confident that Yi Zhonghai would not dare to calculate against him, so he ignored him.

After hearing this, Yi Zhonghai nodded in understanding and turned his calculating eyes towards Xu Changping again.

"Xu boy, you are the only one in your family now, and you don't need much money, so you should help them more."

"I will donate 30 kilograms of grain." Xu Changping said as he lifted a bag of grain and put it down on the table.

"Donate food?" Yi Zhonghai was confused by Xu Changping's operation. What the hell is this donating food? Wouldn't it be enough to donate money?

"Well, anyway, even if I donate money, they still have to buy food at a high price. It would be a one-step solution if I just donate food directly," Xu Changping said with a smile.

While He Daqing was talking, he ran back to the East Courtyard and took out a bag of 30 kilograms of food from the system space.
