Comfortable life in Siheyuan

After taking another sip of water, Yi Zhonghai saw that still no one spoke, so he felt that it was time for him to shine.

Being ignored by the younger generation in the courtyard during this period of time has indeed affected his prestige. Thinking of the fact that Liu Qingshan did not invite him, an old man, to his wedding, he was even more annoyed.

"Our compound has been a civilized courtyard for several years in a row. Neighbors have always had a tradition of helping and supporting each other. Let's talk about your ideas! Qingshan, you are a college student, you speak first!" Yi Zhonghai felt that he should use this younger college student as a target.

Liu Qingshan stood up calmly and said, "How can I say this? The issue hasn't been explained clearly yet. The Jia family needs to come out and talk first. Then we can look at the issue and discuss the result. Let's say whether it's right or not!"

"That's right, that's right," everyone chattered non-stop.

"You just say it's not easy, but how difficult is it?" Aunt Li said!

"Yes, it's easy for everyone nowadays." said Uncle Zhou in the front yard.

"Okay, be quiet for a while." Yi Zhonghai knocked on the teacup.

"Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang, you two, please stand up and tell us about the actual difficulties your family is facing. Then we can help you." Yi Zhonghai.

Qin Huairu stood up hesitantly, with a sad face. Tears started flowing before she even started talking.

Liu Qingshan, who was sitting in the back, wanted to applaud. It was really wonderful.

"Three uncles, everyone in the courtyard, my family is really struggling to survive now. You all know that I only get a regular worker's salary every month, but there is no ration for food at home. Without food coupons, we can only buy high-priced food. Food is too expensive now! We really can't afford it!"

Qin Huairu's acting skills were already superb, and with the addition of some true feelings, everyone began to sympathize with her family.

"Okay, okay. Let's stop discussing for now. Qingshan, you speak." Yi Zhonghai started to call on Liu Qingshan again.

Liu Qingshan knew from the look on Yi Zhonghai's face that this old Bidden was targeting him today.

"Uncle, this is something you should take care of. Back then, Brother Dongxu kowtowed to you and worshipped you as his master! Brother Dongxu has been like a master and a father to you for so many years. You can't just ignore it now that he is gone. What do you think, am I right?" Liu Qingshan said with a smile.

"Yes, yes."

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat when he heard what Liu Qingshan said. This bastard is really good at passing the buck.

"My wife is in poor health and has to take medicine every month. The old lady in the backyard has always been taken care of by my husband and I. We have never had any children, and we have to set aside some of the remaining money for retirement. I really don't have the ability to help their family." Yi Zhonghai said with a worried look on his face!

Yi Zhonghai was telling the truth, but only half of it. The aunt in his family only spent a few dollars a month on medical treatment, and the old lady in the backyard received a 5-yuan subsidy every month, as well as various tickets. He didn't have to pay for it, and it was mainly his wife who took care of him. He got all the reputation.

"The Jia family's situation is not temporary. If they keep buying grain at high prices, does the courtyard have to continue to help them? When will it end?

There are so many families in this courtyard who are having a hard time, and donating some money cannot solve the fundamental problem.

This situation is no longer something you guys can mediate. If you need to contact the street office, go to the street office. If you need to contact the factory, go to the factory. "Liu Qingshan said firmly.

"Yes, Qingshan is right."

"How can it make sense for Yueyue to donate to her Jia family?"

"That's right. The family has a rural household registration. We can't help them."

A few middle-aged women started chatting in low voices, so low that they could be heard in the courtyard.

Jia Zhang's face turned red: "I'll tear your mouths apart! I'll let you talk nonsense!"

Qin Huairu's face became increasingly uglier, and she looked so gloomy that blood seemed to be dripping from her eyes.

"We are all from the same compound. A neighbor is worse than a distant relative. Let's lend a helping hand if we can. Everyone agree! I'll take the lead and donate ten dollars." Yi Zhonghai took a look and prepared to set the tone himself.

When Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui saw this, they were silent and pretended to disappear.

Father Liu didn't want his son to keep speaking out, so he stood up and said, "Uncle, we haven't even discussed the result yet, don't worry. Your solution can only help temporarily. As long as their family still eats high-priced grain, they will still have difficulties. We really have to find the street office for this matter."

"Then let's solve the current difficulties first. We can't really starve people to death!" Yi Zhonghai said helplessly.

Suddenly, an old lady in the backyard muttered, "What difficulty? Her family is the only one in the compound that has a sewing machine. It's not a fart difficulty at all."

The yard suddenly fell silent.

The four people sitting next to Liu Qingshan burst out laughing.

Yi Zhonghai’s face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

The scene suddenly became awkward and everyone tried to hold back their laughter.

"Alright, alright, I can't handle your business either. Don't bother with us uncles anymore. Let's adjourn." Just as he was about to take the 10 yuan from the cash box, Jia Zhang accelerated from behind and ambushed him, causing the cash box to explode.

"Uncle, since all this has been donated, we have accepted it. Thank you, uncle. Come on, Banggeng, Xiaodang, and Huaihua, kowtow to your uncle." Jia Zhang said with a smile on her face.

This set of smooth and flowing movements stunned everyone in the hospital. These were not the movements an old man should have.

Qin Huairu was almost amused by this stupid teammate: "Mom, you can't take the money from an old man. This is inappropriate. Return it to the old man immediately."

Jia Zhang was immediately unhappy, but she also knew that she couldn't break up with the eldest uncle's family, so she handed the box over reluctantly.

"Uncle, I'll return the money to you!" As he said that, he pushed the donation box to Yi Zhonghai.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the donation box, feeling conflicted, but he still reached out his hand.

But after pulling twice in a row, Aunt Jia didn't let go. She stared at Yi Zhonghai with such a sad look that the old man almost vomited.

"Forget it, just consider this money as my donation. You can use it first!" The old man gave up struggling and turned back to the house.

When the second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Bugui saw that the first uncle had suffered a loss, they almost laughed out loud, and their mouths could no longer be suppressed. They quickly retreated.

Sha Zhu invited Liu Qingshan and Feng Yu back to his home, and the four of them sat together and started chatting.

"No, they really can't make ends meet, right?"

"I guess that's about it. Jia Zhang may have some private money that Qin Huairu can't take out." Liu Qingshan said.

"Aunt Jia also has a gold ring. I just remembered it." Sha Zhu also remembered Aunt Jia's gold ring.

"Then he should have a wealthy family, better than many families in the compound." Tian Xiuyun said.

"This family has never been down-to-earth. They always think about being supported by others. If Qin Huairu's work grade can be promoted one or two levels, her family will not have these problems anymore and it will be easy to support the family." Liu Qingshan said.

"Yes, no matter how difficult their family is, can it be as difficult as the current rural life?" Tian Xiuyun came from the countryside and knew what the countryside was like.

"By the way, Brother Zhuzi, doesn't your family need a sewing machine? My sister-in-law has nothing to do at home, so you can buy it and teach her how to make clothes. She can then get some work at home in the future." Liu Qingshan said as he thought of something.

"Xiuyun, do you know how to use a sewing machine?" Sha Zhu asked Tian Xiuyun.

"How could I know these? There is no machine in our team, so how could I learn it? I can mend clothes, and I have made clothes a few times. They were all old clothes that I modified." Tian Xiuyun said helplessly.

"There are many acquaintances in this area of ​​Zhuzi. You can find someone to learn from and get the hang of it quickly. This will be a skill in the future, right?" Liu Qingshan gave a suggestion.

Liu Qingshan knew that this was a skill, and if he opened a small shop after the reform, he could earn much more than working in an office.

"Okay, next time when we talk about donations, I'll say I want to buy her sewing machine. Let's see what she says." Sha Zhu said with a proud look on his face.

The four of them chatted and laughed for a while and then dispersed.
