Taking advantage of this opportunity, He Yuzhu went to the credit union and spent one dollar to buy a new lock.

After Yi Zhonghai moved all the things into the house, He Yuzhu found the photo of his mother that He Yushui mentioned. Looking at the messy room, he tidied it up before leaving.

On the other side, Yan Bugui's surprised voice came from the front yard: "It turns out that Deputy Director Li of the Military Control Office is here to visit. I wonder what brought you here?"

Yan Bugui went to meet him immediately. He was able to become the third-rank mediator in the courtyard house thanks to the help of Deputy Director Li.

Faced with such a distinguished guest, Yan Bugui would of course do his best to curry his favor.

Deputy Director Li looked at Yan Bugui and said with a fake smile, "I came here to announce something important in the courtyard."

“First, the new mediators in the hospital are selected and appointed.”

"Secondly, we need to select a group of highly conscious comrades to go to the streets to promote the policy of public-private partnership. If they can transform privately owned shops into public-private partnership shops, the Military Control Office will give them individual rewards."

Deputy Director Li patted Yan Bugui on the shoulder and said, "Okay, notify everyone in the hospital as soon as possible and go to the front yard to attend the whole hospital meeting!"

"Deputy Director Li, please wait a moment. I will go and inform them right away." Yan Bugui quickly agreed. For him, how could he miss such a good thing.

Maybe he could take this opportunity to re-establish his identity as the "Third Uncle of the Siheyuan Courtyard". Even more boldly, he might even be able to turn the Third Uncle into the First Uncle.

Thinking of this, Yan Bugui quickened his pace. He was full of expectations for the upcoming academy meeting.

After He Yuzhu tidied up the house and replaced the newly bought locks, he was ready to leave. However, when he walked to the front yard, he found that Deputy Director Li of the Military Control Office was sitting steadily in the main hall, and there were many people gathered in the front yard. It seemed that the courtyard was going to hold some kind of general meeting.

So He Yuzhu calmly found a place to sit down. He had nothing to do today anyway, so why not eat some melon?

Yi Zhonghai and others were shocked when they saw He Yuzhu also sat down.

Before this, when Yan Bugui announced that a meeting of the entire institute would be held, they specifically did not tell He Yuzhu, hoping that he would not participate, but now he was actually sitting there.

Deputy Director Li naturally noticed He Yuzhu and nodded in greeting with a smile. They were people who were paid by the government and they were concerned about current affairs every day. He knew that He Yuzhu had a good reputation in Beijing now. Although they were not very familiar with each other, it was still necessary to show proper courtesy.

When He Yuzhu saw Deputy Director Li greet him, he also smiled at him.

Deputy Director Li looked around and said, "Dear comrades from the Siheyuan in Hutong No. 95! I am here this time mainly to announce two topics. The first is to re-elect the mediator of the Siheyuan."

"Regarding the selection of the mediator, if anyone thinks there is a suitable candidate, please speak up! We will select the mediator that everyone trusts by raising our hands!"

"We must adhere to the rule of majority rule and strive to elect candidates that everyone agrees on! Please rest assured that this election will be completely open and fair!"

After Deputy Director Li finished speaking, he turned his gaze to the people in the courtyard, obviously encouraging everyone to speak up.

Hearing this, Yi Zhonghai and others were excited, especially Yi Zhonghai who was the first to express his opinion: "Deputy Director Li, how about letting the three of us be the mediators of the courtyard again? We did make some mistakes before, but now we have deeply reflected on them and corrected them!"

Liu Haizhong, who had just finished cleaning the toilets at the steel mill, echoed Yi Zhonghai's point of view: "We three have dealt with a lot of disputes, big and small, in our yard!"

"They also have a very clear understanding of the interpersonal relationships in our hospital. It is most appropriate for us to become mediators again now!"

Yan Bugui couldn't help himself as he watched Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong actively promoting themselves. At this moment, Deputy Chairman Li on the stage suddenly slammed the table hard, scaring him so much that he quickly sat down as he was about to stand up to agree with Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong.

Deputy Chairman Li, who was a little angry, said in a firm and clear tone: "You three old fellows whose positions as mediators have been revoked by the Military Control Office still want to interfere in the mediation work in the courtyard? You three new mediators, forget it!"

Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong were reprimanded on the spot, and they sat back in their seats with red faces in embarrassment.

The residents in other courtyards witnessed this scene and felt extremely relieved.

Having lived together for so many years, who in this courtyard didn't know the true faces of Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Bugui? It was only because of their identities as mediators that they didn't point it out before. Most people in the courtyard took the attitude of staying out of it, otherwise it would be very uncomfortable to be picked on and retaliated by these three beastly uncles.

He Yuzhu looked happy while eating the melon, and laughed at the side...

Deputy Director Li caught He Yuzhu laughing secretly and immediately said, "He Yuzhu! Stop laughing! You are also a member of the No. 95 Siheyuan! Have you ever considered becoming a mediator of the Siheyuan?"

Deputy Director Li actually said this in order to push He Yuzhu to take up the position of mediator. This way, he could have some friendship with He Yuzhu, which could be considered a small investment.

With his support, Yan Bugui became the mediator in the courtyard. He visited him every year and gave him many good things.

When He Yuzhu heard what Deputy Chairman Li said, the smile on his face disappeared instantly. Does the Deputy Director want him to be the mediator? Hey, forget it!

He Yuzhu hurriedly drove those delusions out of his mind and responded with a smile: "As for the mediator, let's leave it to others! I'm not suitable yet! For one thing, I'm still young and lack the qualifications, let alone the people in the hospital.

One is that although my household registration is still in the hospital, I no longer live there, so I cannot rush to the hospital immediately if something happens.

"For example, Jia Zhang's sarcastic character often caused a lot of disputes. If she really got beaten, by the time I was notified to deal with it, she might have been dead!"

As soon as He Yuzhu finished speaking, Jia Zhang immediately jumped up, put one hand on her waist and pointed at He Yuzhu with the other hand and asked, "What nonsense are you talking about! Who would be completely disappointed?"

She had just been beaten by He Yuzhu, and the scars on her face had not yet faded. Now He Yuzhu accused her of being mean in public and cursed her to be beaten to death. She could not bear it any longer: "He Yuzhu, just show me how mean I am! I just think you are not suitable to be the mediator of our courtyard! You are not worthy!"
