Siheyuan: Traveling through Cai Quanwu, pretending to be Uncle Shazhu

"What leaders? Probably the staff of the subdistrict office and the residents' committee."

"Leaders don't have time to take care of these trivial matters."

"What? Didn't Old Yan tell you when he notified you?"

Cai Quanwu answered Xu Fugui's question and then asked curiously.

"No, they just said there would be a meeting in the evening, nothing else."

Hearing what Xu Fugui said, Cai Quanwu thought to himself that the Third Uncle actually treated people differently when notifying them for a meeting.

I really didn’t know what was going on in his mind, so I started to explain to Xu Fugui.

"The old lady has no children. If something like this happens, a meeting in the hospital won't solve it. We have to wait for the decision from above."

"Don't forget, the old lady is a lonely old woman who has been supported by the state."

"Fuck, why did Liu Haizhong say all that nonsense? I thought he said a few words and the meeting was over."

Xu Fugui couldn't help but swore.

"You can tell what he wants to do by looking at the position he sits in." Cai Quanwu reminded with a smile.

"He wants to be a great master?"

Xu Fugui is not stupid. After hearing Cai Quanwu's reminder, he glanced at the seat where the second uncle was sitting and asked uncertainly.

"Maybe."

Cai Quanwu gave an uncertain answer. He was not a worm in the second uncle's stomach, so how could he know what the second uncle was thinking.

"I'm afraid you're going crazy." Xu Fugui said sarcastically.

When Cai Quanwu heard this, he smiled but said nothing.

Just when Cai Quanwu and Xu Fugui were discussing whether the second uncle wanted to be the first uncle, the second uncle walked in with a few people.

Coming in front of everyone, the second uncle introduced his identity.

"This is Officer Zhang from the Subdistrict Office."

"This is Director Wang from the neighborhood committee. I think everyone knows him."

"Now we welcome the two leaders."

The second uncle introduced Secretary Zhang and Director Wang to everyone, and then led the applause.

Seeing the second uncle taking the lead in applauding, everyone in the yard applauded out of respect.

Secretary Zhang felt very satisfied when he heard the applause and signaled everyone to stop.

"Okay, I can feel everyone's enthusiasm."

"Now let's get down to business."

Secretary Zhang didn't waste any time and went straight to the point.

"I think everyone knows that the old lady in the backyard fell down at home yesterday."

"After examination at the hospital, it was confirmed that the old lady had suffered a head injury and now not only has difficulty speaking, but she will also have to lie in bed for the rest of her life."

"In the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance and not causing trouble for the country, the street decided to let the old lady return to the courtyard to recuperate."

"Because of the old lady's special situation, she must be taken care of. The street decided to recruit a few women from the courtyard to take care of her food and daily life."

"Of course, this is voluntary and not mandatory."

As soon as Secretary Zhang said this, everyone below started to talk about it.

Everyone was thinking, who would volunteer for this, unless they were mentally ill.

Listening to the people below talking at once, Secretary Zhang didn't feel surprised.

Anyone who hears this will discuss it.

This is no small matter, and it is not easy to make a decision in the heat of the moment.

In fact, according to reason, the old lady in this situation should be sent to an orphanage.

But in the end, the result of the leaders' discussion was to arrange for the old lady to return to the courtyard and find someone to take care of her.

There are many reasons.

One reason is that there are too many elderly widows who lost their children during the war, and now welfare homes are overcrowded and operating at full capacity.

Second, if the old lady wants to go to a welfare home, the leader has to coordinate with other departments, which is very troublesome, and she may not be able to move in for a while.

The current result was achieved after comprehensive consideration by the leaders.

Secretary Zhang thought that everyone's discussion was nothing, but the second uncle didn't think so.

The second uncle felt that the people in the hospital had embarrassed him in front of his superiors.

"Okay, everyone, listen to the leader quietly. It's noisy like this."

"We are a civilized courtyard."

The second uncle stood beside Secretary Zhang, with a dark face, and shouted loudly towards the yard.

"Second uncle, don't be so vain. We are so busy with our own family affairs that we don't have time to take care of others."

"Yes, yes, it's not easy to take care of a paralyzed person."

"Yes, there is an old man paralyzed in bed in my mother's yard. He makes the family suffer a lot. Not only do they need to take care of his poop and pee in time, but they also need to wipe his body and change his clothes regularly, otherwise he will stink.

"If someone accidentally poops on the bed, it can be fatal. The whole house will smell like shit and urine."

The second uncle's words not only failed to calm everyone down, but instead caused a strong backlash from everyone.

Seeing the opposition growing louder, Secretary Zhang spoke up again.

"Everyone, be quiet and listen to me."

"The street has considered the issues you mentioned and knows how difficult it is to take care of patients."

"So for those who volunteer to take care of the old lady, each person will receive a subsidy of three dollars per month."

When they heard that there would be a subsidy of three dollars per month for those who took care of the old lady, the people below suddenly became quiet, and everyone was considering the pros and cons.

When Cai Quanwu heard Secretary Zhang say that there was a three-dollar subsidy, he thought to himself that this three yuan would not be easy to get.

This is like hanging a carrot in front of a donkey. If the donkey wants to eat the carrot, it has to work hard.

I don’t know which leader came up with such a wicked idea.

Cai Quanwu glanced around and saw that many people had interested expressions on their faces, so he shook his head.

I guess everyone in the hospital will fight over this carrot.

Glancing at Xu Fugui who was sitting next to him, Cai Quanwu asked in a low voice: "Old Xu, any ideas?"

"Our family doesn't lack these three dollars. Your sister-in-law is busy enough, so she won't get involved." Xu Fugui said calmly.

Xu Fugui travels outside all the time and is well-informed. There is no way he would be fooled by such a small advantage.

"Lao Xu, you really are..."

Cai Quanwu looked at Xu Fugui and wanted to say that Xu Fugui was an old fox, but halfway through his words, he felt that something was wrong and shut up.

Just because Xu Fugui can see the trick doesn’t mean others can see it.

Many people only think about the three yuan subsidy per month, but they don’t think about the difficulties involved.

And it’s not easy to get off the pirate ship once you’re on it.

After waiting for a while, seeing that everyone had almost digested the news, Officer Zhang continued:

"I have made things clear. I hope everyone will actively sign up to participate."

"Everyone who wants to sign up should go to the neighborhood committee director Wang, and finally director Wang will select three suitable candidates."

After Officer Zhang finished speaking, he turned to Director Wang next to him and said, "Director Wang, I'll leave the rest to you."

"okay."

"Secretary Zhang, please take a rest on the side."

Director Wang agreed with a smile and said to Secretary Zhang.

When the second uncle heard what Director Wang said, he quickly started to flatter Secretary Zhang.

"Leader, please sit here."

The second uncle pointed to his seat and said with his head bowed.

"Row."

Secretary Zhang responded, walked in the direction of the second uncle's finger, and sat down.

After Officer Zhang sat down, the second uncle called out to Liu Guangqi in the crowd, "Guangqi, make a cup of tea for Leader Zhang."

"Use the jasmine tea from Dad's cabinet. Make no mistake."

At the end, he also gave Liu Guangqi some advice.

"No need to bother."

When Officer Zhang heard the second uncle asking someone to make tea for him, he quickly and politely refused.

"No trouble, no trouble."

"Leader, please take a rest. I'll go help Director Wang."

The second uncle said this and returned to Director Wang.

Director Wang saw that no one had volunteered to sign up for a long time, and knew that everyone had concerns, so he smiled and said to everyone:

"Our No. 95 Courtyard is a civilized courtyard in Nanluoguxiang. We hope that everyone will carry forward the spirit of friendship and mutual assistance and sign up actively."

Everyone is familiar with Director Wang, and as soon as she opens her mouth, many people become eager to take action.

But no one was the first to step forward.

At this time, a voice appeared.

"We, the Jia family, signed up."
