Siheyuan: The soul travels through time and space to change fate
Chapter 168 4 Courtyard Group Activities
Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui did this because they actually wanted to unite the neighbors in the courtyard.
At the same time, it is also to show outsiders that their courtyard is still very united.
Even with the bad apples like Yi Zhonghai, Jia Zhangshi, and the deaf old lady, the atmosphere of the courtyard house did not become bad.
At the same time, we also want to take this opportunity to help a few families who are in financial difficulties.
In this way, unobtrusive support will be more easily accepted.
"I have no objection. We have a lot of peanuts and red dates at home, so we'll donate them. Everyone else has contributed something, so we can't have nothing at all!"
He Yuzhu didn't say anything, and Zhu Huiying agreed directly.
This kind of thing is the time for her man to show up, and she won't hold him back.
In the past, with the reputation of being a fool, the He family was not very popular in the courtyard.
Although there was some improvement after marriage, it was still far from what Zhu Huiying had expected, so she was quite generous in this matter.
"Huiying is very generous, so let's give more rice. We don't have He Yuzhu's cooking skills!"
Since her best friend had come out to support her, Lou Xiao'e couldn't let her fight alone, so she directly expressed her support without Xu Damao's consent.
In order to make her attitude clear, the girl ran home and took out two bags of eight-treasure porridge ingredients.
He put it on the eight-immortal table where the meeting was held and said, "This is the rice produced by our family. We two can look forward to drinking porridge tomorrow morning!"
"Haha, Damao's daughter is indeed the chief engineer's daughter, she is so generous! In that case, let's give a little more, Guangqi, go get the rice!"
With Zhu Huiying and Lou Xiaoe's support, Liu Haizhong cannot fall behind. Besides, this is his and Yan Bugui's plan, so he cannot let the youngsters overtake him.
"Old woman, you should go too!"
When everyone saw that the first uncle, the second uncle, He Yuzhu, and Xu Damao's families had all participated, they decided that it would be difficult for their own family not to participate.
It is a group activity after all.
In this day and age, it would be very difficult to live without a sense of collective honor.
"Uncle, otherwise our family will..."
The widow Qian in the front yard raised four children alone. She was illiterate and couldn't find a decent job.
All they could do was borrow some work from the street office to make matchboxes and sew shoe soles.
Thanks to the hard work of myself and my eldest daughter Qian Xiaoyang, we only earn fifteen or sixteen yuan a month.
At that time, the poverty standard in the old city was that the average monthly income per person in a family was less than five yuan, and their family met the standard.
So, life is very tight.
That’s why no one planned to celebrate Laba Festival.
Not to mention preparing Laba porridge.
Liu Haizhong also knew about their family's situation, and interrupted Widow Qian before she finished speaking.
"You and Xiaoyang should get up early tomorrow and help Zhuzi cook the porridge. Also, your family should prepare more firewood. Cooking so much porridge requires a lot of firewood."
Liu Haizhong's tone of voice was not one of negotiation, but of command.
This made Widow Qian a little overwhelmed.
"Sister, stop being so shy. This is a group activity. If your family doesn't participate, what's going on?"
The second aunt hadn't left yet, and after hearing this she also joined in the persuasion.
"Hey! Thank you so much, uncle one, and uncle two!"
Knowing that it was the two old men who were taking care of their family and that they were also contributing, Widow Qian felt embarrassed to refuse.
Then, looking at her three children, all of whom looked pale, she couldn't bear to refuse.
Xu Damao frowned and looked at the children of the Qian family. He had no idea before, but now he realized that this family was indeed not doing well.
Qian Xiaoyang is already a 17-year-old girl, but she is not tall and looks thin and small, and it is obvious that she is malnourished.
As for the two younger twin brothers, they also looked pale and had dry and yellow hair.
In the entire courtyard, their family is the most difficult one. Even Grandpa Sun's family in the middle courtyard is better off than them.
Lou Xiao'e noticed Xu Damao's expression.
But she didn't think that Xu Damao was unfaithful. Qian Xiaoyang looked like a bean sprout and was not the type Xu Damao liked!
Needless to say, this is definitely a violation of compassion.
"I'll take care of this, so don't interfere!"
Patting Xu Damao on the shoulder and pointing in the direction of Qian Xiaoyang, Lou Xiao'e said that she would help their family.
"Okay, my wife is still considerate!"
"Don't talk nonsense here!"
Lou Xiao'e looked around and felt relieved when she saw that no one was paying attention to what they were doing.
She hadn't expected that Xu Damao would say this in public. This was really embarrassing!
After a while, everyone went home and took out the prepared Laba porridge ingredients. Some were good and some were bad, but as long as they were mixed together, the porridge cooked should be good.
He Yuzhu brought out an empty rice jar and mixed everything in it. These ingredients had to be mixed evenly before the porridge could be cooked.
Otherwise, the food you cook won’t taste good.
Xu Damao took a look and felt that tomorrow's breakfast might not be delicious.
After all, there is no sugar in it, and there are only dozens of red dates, which can be counted.
This kind of Laba porridge is definitely not sweet.
Laba porridge that is not sweet is definitely not a good Laba porridge.
"Damn system, why don't you open a mall for me?"
After cursing inwardly, he didn't get any response. It was because his proficiency system was simply idiotic!
This conference went very smoothly and ended very quickly. No one wanted to stay outside in the cold winter.
After the meeting, Liu Haizhong came over.
"Da Mao, Guangqi has completed the formalities today and will start working in the technical department of the Red Star Factory tomorrow. You must help him!"
"Hmm? Uncle, you didn't look for Li Yue? Didn't you say before that you wanted Li Yue to take care of him?"
Xu Damao and Liu Guangqi are very familiar with each other. They grew up in the same courtyard and can be considered childhood friends.
If he were to take an apprentice under such circumstances, not only would Liu Guangqi feel uncomfortable, but he would also feel uncomfortable!
"Li Yue has become an eighth-level engineer, and he is also a second lieutenant. It is not convenient for him to take Guang Qi with him now!"
When talking about this matter, Liu Haizhong regretted it very much.
If Liu Guangqi had come a week earlier, he might have been able to work on important projects with Li Yue.
But now it seems that there is no such opportunity.
