Siheyuan starts from a good life

"Jiang Yan didn't agree?" Seeing that his wife was dejected and unable to walk in, the third aunt asked.

When the third aunt asked, Yan Bugui sat down on the stool without saying a word.

"Let me tell you, the watch is not a small item. What do you mean by bringing it over and paying for it later, so that we will not suffer a loss because we don't know the price."

"We ask others to ask for help, and we ask others to advance money. The advance is not just one or two cents, but it is more than a hundred yuan! If it were me, I would not agree. This is a big deal. Money!”

After hearing his wife's words, the third uncle said helplessly: "Why are you talking about those useless things? What should I do now? I didn't know he was so disrespectful."

"I heard that some watches at the Canton Fair will be much cheaper than the ones sold here, and there is no need for watch tickets. This is an opportunity for us, otherwise we may not have this store after passing this village. .

"We don't know anyone else, and even if we don't know them well, they may not bring them to you."

"It's not like you don't know what's going on in our family. Buying a watch costs a lot of money. If we can save a penny, it's just one penny. What's more, at the Canton Fair, there will be no savings at all. It’s just one point or two.”

For Yan Bugui, he couldn't take advantage of the ready-made advantages. It was like losing money, which made him feel uncomfortable. I thought quickly in my mind to see if there was any other way.

When he was thinking about something, Yan Bugui stood up from his stool and walked around the room.

Suddenly he stopped and said to the third aunt. "I'll go find Lao Yi and see if he can do anything."

The uncle just put down the pen in his hand at home at this time, and he hasn't had much rest yet.

There is no way, my daughter has always been at the top in her homework, but my son’s study, alas! Talking too much brings tears to my eyes! Now Yi Zhonghai finally understood why the yard was filled with the sound of beating children at night, so he couldn't do this without getting better grades!

After reading the words written by his son that looked like a dog crawling, Yi Zhonghai felt so angry that he wanted to whip his belt.

However, Yi Zhonghai can't take care of him at the moment. There is an endless stream of people coming to see him tonight.

It was nothing else but the people in the compound knew that Jiang Yan was going to attend the Canton Fair and wanted him to bring something.

Jiang Yan basically didn't have any friendship with the people in the courtyard. Others couldn't find him even if they wanted to, so everyone came to find the first master Yi Zhonghai.

It’s okay if he doesn’t answer! He is called the big man in the courtyard, but he also knows his cards with Jiang Yan. He is just involved in human affairs.

There are quite a few people here, and I wrote down everything they brought with them on a piece of paper.

At this time, his door was opened, and then he saw Yan Bugui walking in.

Seeing his familiar look, Yi Zhonghai frowned slightly and walked in without knocking. He was still a teacher! But he didn't say it.

The third uncle came in and sat down immediately. After he sat down, he complained directly: "Lao Yi, you said this matter. I asked Jiang Yan to help bring something, but he pushed back. We are all neighbors in the street. As for this matter, you said Is it so awesome?"

"You are the boss of our courtyard, so you have nothing to do with this matter."

"No matter what, I don't care. He's the chief engineer. Who am I? If they give me face, I'm a big man. If they don't give me face, I'm just an ordinary worker."

"This." Yan Bugui didn't know what to say for a while.

Seeing that Yan Bugui stopped talking, the uncle closed the notebook where he was writing down things, and then said: "But your handling of this matter is a bit unreasonable. Do you think there is any other person who handles things like this?"

"Lao Yan, I guess if you go to Xiao Jiang to bring something, you won't give him money! I guess you want Xiao Jiang to advance money for you and then give him the price based on how much it is, right? You don't even think about it. Even if a watch is cheaper and doesn’t require a watch ticket, it still costs more than 130 yuan, right?”

Hearing Yi Zhonghai's words, Yan Bugui's face turned a little red. But now Yi Zhonghai didn't care about his expression and was still talking.

"Good guy, how much is a person's salary now? Although Jiang Yan's salary is relatively high, he has no obligation to advance money to you, let alone more than a hundred yuan. How dare you open your teeth! What if? I, I can’t say such a thing. Besides, I’m not doing any good at all. Why should I come all the way from Yangcheng to buy things for you, right?”

"To compare our hearts, I'll let you do it. When I go to Yangcheng to participate in the Canton Fair, if someone entrusts you to bring something, just say it to you. Could you possibly say that you help others carry something without paying for it? It's a sign of affection for others to help you. It’s your duty not to help.”

"I really don't know what you think." After speaking, the first man shook his head.

At this time, the third uncle took over and said: "Doesn't this mean that I don't understand the situation? I don't know how much a watch costs. How can I give you this money, right?"

"What's more, I didn't say I wouldn't pay. I asked him to bring the things back first, and then I saw how much they cost. I'll give him a lot of money when I get back."

Hearing what Yan Bugui said, the uncle said without hesitation: "Old Yan, you! This is not how this matter is done. In fact, many people in our courtyard already know today that Jiang Yan is going to Yangcheng. Yes, a lot of people have also come to me, asking him to help bring some fabrics, toffee, some cosmetics and so on."

"I did some calculations just now, and there must be thirteen of them, big and small. After all, they heard that they don't need tickets at the Canton Fair."

"We neighbors may think it's inappropriate to go directly to Jiang Yan's house to find him. Why don't we entrust me to go find Jiang Yan, but they gave me all the money."

The uncle was still afraid that Yan Bugui would not believe it, so he took out the money he had just received.

"This is the list of all the things I have brought. You see, even if Wu Laoer and his family next door want three kilograms of brown sugar, they will pay every penny according to the price."

"Also, have you seen these things?" the old man said, pointing to the things in the basket next to him.

"Anyone who comes to Jiang Yan to buy something will either get two eggs or give an apple or something like that."

"Are you saying that Jiang Yan's family lacks these things? You also know the situation at home. They don't lack this kind of food at all. This is a favor from the neighbors."

"Besides, you asked someone to bring you something all the way from Yangcheng. My dear, you guys still want to not pay me first. Why do you still want to owe me a debt?"

If you understand the truth, not only can you not owe a debt, but you also have to show some sincerity and express your gratitude. This is the attitude when asking for help. "

"Although you are the big man in the yard and everyone will give you some respect, he still has to keep a bowl of water in hand when doing things, right?"

"Did you see that, as for me, I was thinking of asking Jiang Yan to bring me some fabrics and milk powder! Didn't I also pay according to the price in the supply and marketing cooperative?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui was stunned for a moment and said, "Then you said I have to pay, but I don't know the specific price."
