Siheyuan: I am a big capitalist after the founding of the People's Republic of China

After get off work in the evening, the second uncle walked home leisurely with his hands behind his back and a briefcase in hand, looking like a leader.

Sitting on a stool, he took out a newspaper from his bag and started reading.

For the second uncle who is determined to become a leader, he reads newspapers every day to understand the spirit of his superiors.

After a while, the second uncle stared at the contents of the newspaper with his eyes wide open, and his heart was surging.

At this time, the second aunt came in with a bowl and put it on the dining table. She discovered the abnormal behavior of the second uncle.

Then he asked, "Dad, what did you see? Why are you so excited?"

The second uncle seemed to have found an outlet to vent his anger and immediately said to the second aunt, "Mother, come and see. Mr. Li has reported it again."

When the second aunt heard that the old man had published an advertisement in the newspaper, she said disapprovingly, "Published in the newspaper? It's not you who published it. Besides, it's not the first or second time that Mr. Li has published an advertisement in the newspaper. Why are you so excited!"

The second uncle: "This time it's different. Grandpa donated the dividends from the family business. Do you know how much money was donated?"

When the second aunt heard that the old man was donating his property, she immediately ran to the second uncle's side and turned around to read the newspaper. Then she remembered that she was illiterate.

Second Aunt: "You know I can't read, but you still don't tell me directly. You are making fun of me! Just tell me now, don't waste your words."

Uncle No. 360: " million! Oh my God."

The second aunt was stunned after hearing this, and said in confusion: "360 million? Less than half a year's salary for you? What does this little bit of money mean to Mr. Li? Can this be published in the newspaper?"

The second uncle turned to the second aunt and said, "Why haven't you figured it out yet? It's 360 million of the second set of RMB. My current salary is only 60 yuan a month."

The second aunt realized it later and counted on her fingers for a long time. Then she suddenly realized and said, "Oh my God. How much money is this!"

"Even if he spends 10 yuan a day, he can't spend it all in several lifetimes. This old man Li has gone crazy."

Second uncle: "Woman, what do you know? No, I have to talk to Lao Yi and Lao Yan about it."

Second Aunt: "Mr. Li donated money, what are you discussing with the First and Third Uncles?"

Second uncle: "What do you know? Mr. Li is considered to be from our courtyard anyway. Isn't this a blessing?"

After saying that, he hurriedly took the newspaper and went to the Central Courtyard to find Yi Zhonghai.

The second uncle came to the middle courtyard and pulled up Yi Zhonghai who was eating in the house. Then he said, "Old Yi, come with me. Don't eat yet, something big is going to happen."

The first uncle was dragged out of the house by the second uncle.

As they walked by, an old man asked, "Old Liu, what happened to you? What made you so flustered?"

The second uncle pulled Yi Zhonghai's clothes and said as he walked: "Old Yi, I'll keep you in suspense for now. I'll tell you when we get to Old Yan's house."

The whole family of the third uncle was eating cornmeal porridge and steamed bread with shredded potatoes.

The third uncle's family felt a little uncomfortable when they saw Liu Haizhong and Yi Zhonghai coming.

In this era, various supplies are in short supply. Generally, people don’t visit people at mealtime. After all, they are eating, and the traditional Chinese way of greeting is to ask if they have eaten!

If someone shamelessly says he didn't eat, how will the host respond?

Inviting guests for dinner means that the family, which is already living frugally, will end up going hungry after just one meal!

As a cultured man, the third uncle politely asked them if they had eaten. The second uncle didn't care about these ordinary etiquettes.

He said directly: "Old Yan, I asked Old Yi to come to your house to discuss something with you."

"You guys take a look at the newspaper first," he said, and then pointed to the page about the old man and showed it to the first and third uncles.

The third aunt brought two stools for the two of them to sit on, and then went to the side to continue eating with the children.

After reading the newspaper, Yi Zhonghai and Yan Fugui were somewhat puzzled and could not understand what Liu Haizhong meant.

Yi Zhonghai: "I say, Lao Liu! You dragged me from the dinner table to Lao Yan's house just for this matter. What do you want to say?"

Second Uncle: "Old Yi, Old Yan, this is what I think. Although Mr. Li's status and position are different from ours, which leads to us not interacting with him very much, he is from the same courtyard as us after all."

"This old man was praised in the newspaper. At least our courtyard has benefited from it."

"So I thought, let the three uncles in our courtyard organize a courtyard-wide meeting. Invite the old man and let him give a speech. The whole courtyard will learn the spirit of the party and leaders together."

"It would be best if we could also invite the leaders of the subdistrict office. This way, our entire courtyard will benefit from it. This year, our courtyard will surely be known as the most advanced courtyard."

Uncle: "Old Liu, I'm not saying anything bad about you. The idea is good. But can you invite the old man?"

"Also, the leaders of the subdistrict office are so busy that they have no time to rest. Do you think we can invite people here with our reputation?"

The third uncle looked at the second uncle meaningfully and said, "I say, Lao Liu! It's a good thing that you want to do things. But you have to do it within your capabilities. You don't even know your own weight. It's useless to talk more."

Liu Haizhong did not give up and said, "That's why I came to ask you two for advice. As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one Zhuge Liang. Let's think of a way. If this thing succeeds, it will also be good for us."

"Take you, Old Yan, for example. After this is done, it will be easier for you to get promoted in school."

"And Lao Yi, don't you always say that people should not be too selfish, create a harmonious courtyard, and work together to create a civilized collective?"

"If this is done, just think about it. Who in the yard will dare to question what we three masters say in the future?"

"From now on, you go to the street office and do your work. Stand up straighter."

When the third uncle heard this, his eyes turned and he immediately came up with an idea.

"I have an idea. Isn't Yu Shui still living in the middle courtyard? Let's go find little Yu Shui to check things out. When the old man is home, the three of us will go to his house together. He said that the leader of the street office wants the old man to come to our courtyard and give a class to everyone and explain the spirit."

"We'll wait until the old man agrees. Then we'll go to the street office and find the leader. We'll tell him we want to invite the old man to give us a lesson. We want the leader to come over and give us a review."

"This way and that, it's done."

Second uncle: "If you're not talking about scholars, they are just very cunning."

The uncle had a different idea at this time: "What if the old man disagrees?"

The second uncle said to the third uncle: "That's right. What if you don't agree?"

Uncle Three: "If you don't agree with this, forget it. Who dares to force the old man to come here?"

"But we have to let an old man go first to test Yu Shui's intentions."

The three uncles agreed and made the decision immediately.

Just as they finished discussing, Jia Zhang's loud roar came from the middle courtyard: "Hurry up and help! Something happened."

The three uncles who heard the noise looked at each other, and then one of them said, "Okay, let's go out and take a look."

The second uncle said as he walked: "This Jia Zhang family has been quiet for just a few days, why is she making trouble again today?"

In the middle courtyard, a group of people had gathered at the gate of the Jia family.

Jia Zhang and the aunt were in the house, taking care of Qin Huairu who was about to give birth.

Seeing the arrival of the three uncles, Jia Zhangshi seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw. "Uncle, Huairu is about to give birth. Dongxu is not here, what should we do?"

Over there, Qin Huairu was lying on the bed, wailing in pain.

The first uncle saw this emergency and said, "Why are you still standing there! Old Liu, go borrow a tricycle. Jia Zhang, get the bed and quilt. Third uncle, go to the yard and call two young men. Lift Qin Huairu onto the door. Wait for Old Liu to borrow a tricycle and rush to send her to the hospital."

At this time, the onlookers who heard the command came up to help. Jia Zhang spread the quilt on the removed door panel. The two young men carried the door panel and walked towards the gate.

After a flurry of activity, everyone calmed down when they saw Qin Huairu being sent to the hospital.

Second Aunt: "What's wrong with Jia Dongxu? He wasn't even at home when his wife gave birth."

Zhang's wife in the backyard: "Who said it wasn't true? I don't know what Jia Dongxu is busy with."

Xu Damao's mother: "That's enough. Let's all go home. We're only halfway through our meal. This is quite a fuss."

At this moment, the crowd remembered that they had something else going on at home. They all went home in groups of two or three.
