Siheyuan: The happy life of a little chef

Chapter 5: The General Assembly is in progress

Li Jianjun waved his hand and said, "Sister-in-law, it's okay. I'm from the countryside too. I've seen a lot of people like this."

Qin Huairu felt Li Jianjun's contempt for Jia Zhang from his words, and she didn't know what to say. There were many people who despised Jia Zhang, and she couldn't do anything about it. Jia Dongxu was a filial son, and she couldn't do anything about his mother. She could only pick up Xiaodang and wanted to send him home, but Xiaodang grabbed Li Jianjun's arm and refused to let go. Qin Huairu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Li Jianjun smoothed things over, "It's okay, let her play with me for a while, and then I'll hug her later."

Qin Huairu could only give up, thinking to herself, this man is really good to children. She could tell from Li Jianjun's eyes that he simply liked children and did not even look at her. Instead, Xu Damao next to her kept glancing at her. Qin Huairu felt a little disgusted with Xu Damao and could only sit back in the Jia family's camp.

Li Jianjun held the little girl in his arms and played with her. The little girl was eating candy in her mouth. She smoothed the candy wrapper with her hands, folded it carefully and put it in her pocket.

At this time, a voice rang out, "Hey, there's a meeting today. I just came back at the right time. I'll come out after putting my things down." The speaker was a man who looked to be in his thirties, holding a net bag with two lunch boxes in it. Xu Damao next to him nudged Li Jianjun's arm and whispered, "Brother, see, this is Sha Zhu, my mortal enemy, we've been fighting since we were young."

Li Jianjun just looked up, nodded, and said nothing. He held Xiaodang in his arms to prevent her from falling. After a while, Shazhu took a stool and sat next to the Jia family. It seemed that the two families had a good relationship, but if you look closely, you will find that most of his eyes were looking at Qin Huairu.

At this time, the second uncle knocked on his enamel teacup and said, "Everyone, be quiet. Today we have a meeting for the whole hospital. Almost everyone has arrived. Those who cannot come please go back and inform each other. Now, please allow the first uncle to speak.

Li Jianjun looked at the Second Uncle who made the opening remarks and thought, he is worthy of being the Second Uncle, as an official he may not have learned anything else, but he really learned the opening remarks well!

An old man spoke up, "There are three things today. The first one is about the food problem. The policy has been issued. Everyone, please hold on and believe in the country. Things will get better soon. The country will not ignore us." After he finished speaking, he paused and waited for the next discussion in the novel.

He took a sip of water and then said, "The second thing is that there is a new neighbor in the yard. Let him introduce himself so that we can all get to know each other." Then he looked at Li Jianjun.

Li Jianjun stood up holding Xiao Dang and said, "Hello everyone, I'm new here. I just started working at the steel rolling mill. I'm currently working in the purchasing department. We'll be neighbors in the future. If there's anything wrong, please point it out."

Everyone felt a little surprised when they saw Li Jianjun holding Xiaodang. They had just had a fight in the afternoon, so how come he was holding Jia Zhang's granddaughter in the evening? Everyone was confused, but didn't know what to say. They were just curious and it was none of their business.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Li Jianjun holding Xiaodang and had other thoughts in his mind, "It seems that this young man is not bad. I must be too impatient. I should find a way to ease the relationship and deal with other things slowly." He also nodded at Li Jianjun.

If Li Jianjun knew what he was thinking, he would laugh to death. What does my liking for children have to do with you? No matter how unhappy I am with the Jia family, I will never show my displeasure to a child. What do they know?

Most people were paying attention to Xiao Dang, but there was one person who was paying attention to Li Jianjun's career, and that was Uncle San. Looking at Li Jianjun, his eyes were shining, and he thought that he had to get along well with him no matter what. The purchaser had a lot of money, and any leak would be enough for their family to eat. Even if he didn't give him anything, it would be convenient to ask Li Jianjun to help find some things in the future, and he would not suffer any loss. He smiled while thinking and nodded at Li Jianjun, which gave Li Jianjun goose bumps.

The old man saw that it was almost done and continued, "Our compound has always been a civilized compound. Everyone helps each other, respects the elderly and loves the young. This has always been the tradition of our compound." After saying that, looking at the smiles on everyone's faces, Li Jianjun knew that the highlight was coming.

Yi Zhonghai went on to say, "Among the Jia family in the courtyard, only Jia Dongxu has a city hukou. The food is not enough for three adults and two children. Qin Huairu is pregnant. Everyone should think of a way to help their family. Help each other. Who knows who will need help in the future."

The second and third uncles were a little confused. This matter was not mentioned before the meeting. There was no preparation at all. They were both dissatisfied with Yi Zhonghai's behavior. You didn't even discuss it now. You just made a decision with one word. The second uncle had no choice. There was a deaf old lady holding him down. He couldn't resist and could only swallow his anger. The third uncle was even worse. He was mostly calculating the food and drink at the door. Although everyone usually respected him verbally, who knew what they were thinking in their hearts. The third uncle knew it in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the whispers below and saw that no one stood up, so he had to stand up himself and said, "As an uncle, I should take the lead. I have no food, so I will donate some money. I will donate ten yuan." Ten yuan is a lot of money. It is half a month's salary for an ordinary office worker. Of course, compared with the salary of an uncle, it is nothing.

When the second uncle saw this, he realized that there was no way out and he could not avoid it. "As the second uncle, I will also donate ten dollars." He donated reluctantly. Liu Guangqi had spent almost all of his family's savings on his marriage, so he felt bad about donating ten dollars.

If the second uncle was distressed, then the third uncle was bleeding. He reached into his pocket with a trembling hand and took out two yuan. "As you all know, I am just an elementary school teacher. I have to support a large family with that little salary. I really donate two yuan."

No one else said anything, as they also knew his situation, but Jia Zhang was unhappy. "You're still the third uncle. You're far inferior to the first and second uncles. No wonder you're just an elementary school teacher." She didn't hold her voice down, as everyone else heard it. The third uncle was a little angry. I donated money to your family, and you're still talking behind your back. She wanted to get angry.

Yi Zhonghai saw it and quickly winked at Jia Dongxu next to him. Jia Dongxu immediately understood his master's intention and pulled Jia Zhangshi. Jia Zhangshi also knew that it was inappropriate to say these things at this time and that they had to wait until they got the money.

Yi Zhonghai became a little anxious when he saw that still no one came out to donate, and winked at Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu immediately stood up and said, "We are all neighbors, I will help if I can. I will donate 10 yuan." He took out a big black ten and put it on the table, but his eyes were looking at Qin Huairu. He wanted to see Qin Huairu's grateful eyes, but was blocked by Jia Dongxu. Jia Dongxu knew what Sha Zhu was thinking a long time ago. He was angry, but it was useless. He couldn't beat Sha Zhu. He couldn't hide Qin Huairu in his house and not let people see her. Yi Zhonghai would help him, but Sha Zhu had a deaf old lady behind him, so there was nothing he could do.
