Chapter 304 Seeing the General Assembly Again
"Who is so merciless? It's disappointing!"

At home in the backyard, Zhao Ye, who was holding Ding Qiunan in his arms and preparing to take a crucial step, suddenly dropped his face when he heard a sudden knock on the door.

However, after this interruption, Ding Qiunan woke up from his confusion and hurriedly pushed Zhao Ye away with a blushing face. While arranging the messy clothes, he urged: "Okay, go open the door quickly. This big During the day...don’t let anyone misunderstand me.”

"If you keep doing this, I...I have to leave."

"Hey, it's okay if I don't do this, unless you agree to a condition."

"What conditions?"

"Just a moment..." Zhao Ye leaned over and whispered softly. Ding Qiunan hesitated for a moment, but finally nodded lightly.

Zhao Ye was overjoyed when he saw this. He smiled and kissed Ding Qiunan on the forehead. Then he happily walked to the door and pulled the door bolt open.

"It's the third uncle, are you okay?"

Seeing that Zhao Ye had no intention of inviting him in, Yan Bugui had to stand outside the door and stretched his head to take a look inside. Unfortunately, his sight was blocked by the bookshelf and he could not see anything.

He smacked his lips regretfully and said, "That's right. I'm here to ask, when do you plan to get married?"

Zhao Ye asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this? When will I get married? It seems to be my private matter, right?"

Yan Bugui had already thought about what to say, and only heard him reply: "It's your private matter, but have you ever thought about it. If you want to get married, there must be someone to do the work of sending guests, running errands, etc." Help?
So, let me ask you in advance. If you have decided on a date, you might as well tell me first. I happen to be at home during the winter vacation recently and can help you prepare. "

It was not the first day that Zhao Ye met Yan Bugui. How could he believe such nonsense? After thinking about it for a moment, he came back to his senses.

"I appreciate Third Master's kindness, but it's no use."

"Why?"

"I'm going to set up two tables casually and invite a few old people over for a wedding drink. This matter is settled."

Yan Bugui was still waiting for the whole family to join the battle and take advantage of the feast, so he hurriedly advised: "Xiaoye, you can't do this. Marriage is the most important event in life, how can you be so casual?

Look at Xu Damao, he is obviously getting married for the second time, and he is still married to a widow, but he still has a lively affair. If you do this, won't you be outdone by him? "

Not only did Zhao Ye not fall for the trick, but he took the opportunity to sell it miserably: "With my little money, I will basically spend all the money after decorating the house. How can I compare with Brother Damao! Why don't you donate your money generously and lend me two hundred dollars to use first?" , I promise to make the wedding a glorious one?"

"Ah!" Hearing that Zhao Ye actually asked him to borrow money, Yan Bugui refused without any hesitation: "You really like to joke, our family is notoriously poor, how can we lend you money, let alone two hundred Even twenty is hard for me to come up with!"

Zhao Ye spread his hands and pretended to be helpless: "There is no other way. I also want to treat everyone to a good meal, but the conditions do not allow it."

Yan Bugui refused to give up and suggested: "Just because I don't have it doesn't mean that others don't have it. You can ask Lao Yi. He is well-known in our hospital and is not short of money."

Seeing Yan Bugui being so unyielding because of his stuttering, Zhao Ye gradually lost his patience: "You are really good, Third Uncle. What kind of bad idea is this? You don't know about my relationship with Uncle Yi? In order to make a I won't bow to him at the banquet! If you have anything else, please come back if you have nothing to do!"

Seeing that Zhao Ye seemed annoyed, Yan Bugui had no choice but to find something to say: "One more thing, isn't it that the hospital still needs a steward, so Lao Liu and I discussed it and decided to hold a meeting with the whole hospital tonight At the conference, everyone will elect one.”

"Another whole-hospital meeting? I'm just wondering why there are so many things going on in our small courtyard! That's it. I'll participate in it when I have time in the evening."

After saying that, without waiting for Yan Bugui to say anything else, Zhao Ye slammed the door and turned back to the house.

Ding Qiunan, who had been paying attention to the movements outside, frowned and asked: "Zhao Ye, if you are tight on money, I still have some money here, so you can deal with it for a while."

"Silly girl, I was just trying to fool outsiders, but you really believe it!"

"Why, even if the wealth is not revealed, there is no need to be so exaggerated, right?"

Zhao Ye walked up to Ding Qiunan, put his head on her shoulder, and sighed softly: "I can't help it, there are too many weird things in our courtyard. I'll explain it to you in detail while I have some free time. It'll save you money." You were deceived after you got married."

Then, he started from the front yard to the back yard, focusing on the three uncles, as well as Qin Huairu, Shazhu, and Xu Damao, and supported them with specific examples.

Ding Qiunan was stunned when he heard this, and it took him a long time to say: "Why...how...how...the people in your courtyard..."

Seeing that Ding Qiunan couldn't find the right words to describe it, Zhao Ye said for her: "Are you trying to say that the little demon in the temple is strong in wind, but the water is shallow and there are many tortoises?"

Ding Qiunan smiled sheepishly: "Absolutely."

"I have thought about this before. I think the problem lies with the three stewards."

Ding Qiunan said thoughtfully: "Are you saying that the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked?"

Zhao Ye lamented: "Yes, the street office and the residents in the courtyard selected them originally so that they could mediate everyone's conflicts and serve as role models.

But they were good. For the sake of their own selfish interests, they completely forgot about the principle that a bowl of water should be equal. They favored anyone who had a good relationship with them, making the courtyard a mess.

Take Yi Zhonghai as an example. In order to find someone to support him in his old age, this old boy has been looking for his apprentice Jia Dongxu overtly and covertly from the beginning.

After Jia Dongxu died, he set his sights on Jia Dongxu's daughter-in-law Qin Huairu and Shazhu, and then indulged these two families in every way. If things go on like this, wouldn't the atmosphere in the courtyard become what it is now? "

Ding Qiunan lived alone with his parents since he was a child. Later, due to family changes, he moved to a large courtyard.

Although not everyone in their courtyard was friendly, everyone could at least maintain a superficial harmony when getting along with each other, so she really couldn't imagine what it would be like to live here in the future.

"I heard that after two workers get married, they can apply for family housing in the factory. How about we apply for it too?"

Zhao Ye smiled and said: "There's no need. This is not a real dragon's pond and tiger's den. I'm telling you this to prepare you mentally in advance so that you don't get betrayed and foolishly count money for others."

As for moving out, I've actually thought about it, but the conditions aren't mature yet, so I'll wait and see. "

Having said this, Zhao Ye paused for a moment, and then told Ding Qiunan everything about his purchase of a courtyard house from Lou Xiaoe, and at the end he promised:

"When we have a child in a few years, it won't be too late to move here. Then we can also bring your parents over, which will save you the hassle of traveling to your parents' house."

Ding Qiunan was overjoyed and quickly confirmed: "Are you serious?" "Looking at what you said, don't I even have this credibility in your heart?"

"Oh, I didn't doubt you. I'm not happy about that!"

Zhao Ye rolled his eyes, leaned into Ding Qiunan's ear and smiled evilly: "Since you are happy, shouldn't it be time to fulfill the promise you just made?"

"Uh... okay, but don't go too far."

…………

Ding Qiunan stayed until about five o'clock in the afternoon, and then Zhao Ye sent her home.

This time Zhao Ye did not enter Ding's house. After telling him to pick up Ding Qiunan tomorrow, he returned to the courtyard.

As soon as he entered the middle courtyard, as expected, he encountered another meeting of the whole courtyard.

Liu Haizhong, who was sitting in the middle seat, was speaking eloquently about his opening remarks. Seeing Zhao Ye appear, the old boy immediately said angrily: "Zhao Ye, what's the matter with you? Didn't I inform you in advance? Why did you miss the meeting without any reason?" ?”

Zhao Ye was not used to Liu Haizhong, so he immediately replied: "I said the second uncle, no, now I am the first uncle, can you stop using chicken feathers as a ceremonial arrow, why don't you just hold a hospital-wide meeting, use it So on-line?

Really, if people outside see us, they will think that we are discussing some major national affairs. I don’t know what to say! "

"You..." Liu Haizhong was so angry. He originally just wanted to use Zhao Ye to establish his authority before the conference, but he forgot that Zhao Ye was a thorn in the side, and thus suffered a blow.

However, what was even more irritating was yet to come. As soon as Zhao Ye finished speaking, Silly Zhu continued: "That's right, isn't it just that he has become a big boss? He acts like a big boss, and dog meat cannot be put on the stage!"

Silly Zhu's opening immediately attracted Liu Haizhong's firepower. He slapped the table hard and yelled angrily: "Silly Zhu, who do you think is a dog?"

Silly Zhu sneered, folded his arms and replied: "My words are adjectives. Have you ever gone to school? If not, can you let the third uncle explain the meaning to you?"

It can be said that education has been a pain point in Liu Haizhong's life. He has always been paranoid that if he had not suffered this disadvantage, he would have become a factory leader long ago. So when he heard Silly Zhu talking about this, his thinking subconsciously Being led astray.

"You never went to school, I have a high school diploma."

Silly Zhu was happy to see Liu Haizhong's joke, so he deliberately teased him with it: "Elementary school, elementary school, and talking about a high school diploma, it will really put your face in good stead!"

As expected, Liu Haizhong jumped up in anger and argued to himself: "You know what the heck, senior primary school has two more years than primary school. Is that equivalent to junior high school?"

In order to prove that what he said was true, he also asked Yan Bugui in public: "Old Yan, you are a teacher. It is up to you to explain to everyone the difference between primary school and upper primary school?"

Yan Bugui secretly rolled his eyes and thought to himself that you are such a big stick, no wonder you can't beat Yi Zhonghai!

But considering their alliance, Yan Bugui still reminded him at the right time: "Ahem, Old Liu, we can talk about this later. It's better to talk about business now."

Liu Haizhong was startled, but he finally realized that he had been fooled by Silly Zhu and was led astray by that kid.

After understanding this, he first glared at Silly Zhu, then smiled awkwardly and said to everyone:

"It's like this. This hospital-wide meeting is being held today because our hospital currently only has two elders. In order to maintain..."

Before Liu Haizhong could finish what he said, Silly Zhu interrupted him again: "If you're just talking nonsense, just say that you should choose the third master. Why go around in circles? It's not refreshing at all!"

"You...you idiot, you are deliberately causing trouble, aren't you?"

Silly Zhu naturally would not admit it. Instead, he incited everyone: "Don't accuse me unjustly. I am thinking about everyone. In this cold weather, not everyone is as fat and strong as you. You can bear the cold. We No! Everyone, do you agree?"

Needless to say, Silly Zhu’s words really got a lot of responses.

"That's right, people are freezing to death today. If you have something to say, hurry up and don't waste everyone's time."

"Day by day, there is nothing going on in our courtyard. The courtyards next to ours don't hold many meetings throughout the year. Who is like us!"

"Two...no, sir, could you please hurry up and finish talking about the business as soon as possible so that I can go back to sleep."

"Li Erniu, are you in a hurry to go back and hug your wife?"

"Ha ha……"

Seeing that the atmosphere in the venue was gradually getting out of control, Liu Haizhong became anxious and shouted loudly: "Everyone, please be quiet. Now I am announcing that we will vote for the third master. Whoever has a suitable candidate should put it forward quickly!"

Xu Damao, who had remained silent tonight, was waiting for these words. He immediately stood up and said: "I recommend myself, and I hope everyone can vote for me!"

For Silly Zhu, anyone can be the third uncle, but Xu Damao can't, so as soon as Xu Damao finished speaking, he broke the news and said:
"Xu Damao, you are really thick-skinned. If you ask around in the courtyard, no one will know that your grandson is the most selfish. You are the only one who applied to be the steward. Damn it, you won't take a piss to look after yourself!"

Xu Damao unexpectedly did not quarrel with Silly Zhu, but continued to make a promise to everyone: "The Chinese New Year is coming in less than a week. In order to make the courtyard more lively, I plan to show a movie in the courtyard on New Year's Eve. Can you guys agree? "

Nowadays, watching movies is a rare thing. When everyone heard that there was such a good thing, their emotions were immediately aroused. Many people expressed their opinions on the spot and said they would vote for Xu Damao.

Seeing this, Xu Damao looked at Shazhu proudly, curled his lips slightly, and his disdain was palpable.

Silly Zhu was so angry that in order to prevent Xu Damao from being better than him, he raised his hand regardless and recommended himself: "I recommend myself!"

Yan Bugui, who was in charge of counting people, nodded and asked, "Is there anyone else coming out to choose?"

After waiting for a while and seeing that there were no other candidates, Yan Bugui turned to Liu Haizhong and suggested: "Old Liu, there are only two of us. I don't think there is a need to vote. Let's just vote by a show of hands!"

Liu Haizhong was squeezed out several times in a row. At this time, he had lost all his enthusiasm at the beginning. He was eager to end it quickly, so he agreed wholeheartedly.

"Everyone, listen to me. For the sake of fairness, in this election, we will vote on the spot, and the second uncle will count the votes. Now, if you agree with Comrade Xu Damao as the third uncle, please raise your hands."

After saying that, Liu Haizhong raised his hand first, obviously having a tacit understanding with Xu Damao.
