8 o'clock in the evening, at the Central Court.

As the lights came on in the evening, more than 20 households in the courtyard came to the patio and waited for the meeting.

A square table was placed in the middle with some peanuts on it, and there were a few benches there.

Then it was Xu Wenhao, the second uncle Liu Haizhong, and the third uncle Yan Bugui's turn to sit down first.

Each of the three of them had a porcelain teacup that was characteristic of that era. Although there was some tea foam inside, the three of them were just trying to show off and didn't care.

Xu Wenhao sat in the middle, Liu Haizhong sat on the right, Yan Bugui sat on the left, leaving the front of his head for everyone to see. Everyone in the courtyard also sat on the benches they had brought.

"Meeting!"

Seeing that every household in the courtyard had sent at least a representative, Xu Wenhao announced the start of the whole courtyard meeting.

"Everyone knows what the whole courtyard meeting will be about tonight, which is the food shortage problem of the Jia family."

"We all have city hukou, and the ration per person is set there."

"But the rations Jia Dongxu's family received were too small after all, and there were five people in the family who needed to eat, so it was normal that they didn't have enough food."

"As members of an advanced courtyard, we can't let our neighbors starve to death next to us, right?"

Xu Wenhao also set the tone first, and the rest depends on everyone's performance.

"I'll say a few words here, too."

"Well, I support what the eldest uncle said. The Jia family is indeed in a difficult situation, and it is only right to help them. This is called unity and friendship."

The second uncle wanted to say something more, but the culture was there, so he finally opened his mouth to support Xu Wenhao's opinion.

Fortunately, he managed to utter a sentence, but after he finished speaking, Xu Damao and Sha Zhu almost couldn't hold back their laughter.

After all, the second uncle has too little room for advancement now, and he just wants to show off his power in the yard, so his speech becomes more and more pretentious.

"I think what the elder said is right. We have maintained the advanced courtyard for several years and have received a lot of rewards every year. We can't let the Jia family starve to death."

"There are so many people in our courtyard, it will be enough for everyone to help a little."

The third uncle's words eased the situation. After all, he was afraid that if the Jia family spoke first, he would have to donate more.

First of all, let's say that everyone donates a little, at least he can donate less later.

"Yes, what the Third Master said is right."

The people in the courtyard finally heard something that they liked and responded immediately.

This made the second uncle's face fall.

So what I said is not right.

"Thank you three uncles and all the neighbors. If our family was not in such a bad situation, we would not ask you for help."

Qin Huairu also said with a pitiful expression at this time.

She had discussed this with Jia Dongxu and Jia Zhang before, that is, Jia Zhang must not speak, otherwise everyone would be offended by her, and the effect would definitely be greatly reduced.

Jia Dongxu couldn't speak either because he was not good at speaking, so he could only let Qin Huairu say the words of thanks.

After all, she has always had the image of a white lotus in the courtyard. When she spoke up, the people in the courtyard at least felt better when donating food.

Otherwise, everyone would feel uncomfortable thinking about donating it to Jia Zhang, this fat and big-eared woman.

"I think the Jia family's life is really hard. I want to make my position clear here. I support 5 kilograms of corn flour!"

Sha Zhu also immediately expressed his opinion.

In fact, the reason why he supported 5 kilograms of corn flour was simply because he had no white flour at all, otherwise he would probably be willing to give out even the white flour.

As for why there was no white flour, it was of course because Xu Wenhao had forced them to obediently give the white flour to the rain every month.

Shazhu just started working and has nothing but a strong sense of face.

Xu Wenhao said, your sister is studying, if you, as her brother, give her something good to eat, you will have a good reputation in the future and be able to find a wife.

Although Sha Zhu likes Qin Huairu now, he actually values ​​Qin Huairu's beauty.

Otherwise, why did he go on so many blind dates and almost succeed? It was just that someone intervened. Otherwise, with his lustful look, he would have succeeded with someone else long ago.

After all, he still felt that other people might not meet his requirements, and his blind dates were interrupted every time, so he could only continue to pursue Qin Huairu.

"Hey, those who don't know would think that the Jia family is your home. Every donation is five catties of corn flour. How can you live like this?"

Xu Damao was born to resent Sha Zhu. When he heard Sha Zhu ask for 5 kilograms, he couldn't help but complain even though his family had no shortage of food.

"Oh, that's hard to say. Didn't you see Sha Zhu talking to Qin Huairu every day? He just joins in the fun while others are washing clothes."

The other residents were no pushovers either. They knew that if Sha Zhu did this, they would be embarrassed, so they naturally wanted to embarrass him first.

Anyway, Xu Damao is the leader, so if Sha Zhu wants to cause trouble, he can only go to Xu Damao.

"Get lost! Do you, Xu Damao, have any sympathy for your neighbors? I just saw that the Jia family was having a hard time."

Sha Zhu was also angry and embarrassed at this time. After all, these words were very hurtful.

He didn't dare let anyone confirm this, otherwise the Jia family would turn around and accuse him of hooliganism, which would be a great pleasure.

"Silly Zhu, what do you mean by this!"

This was not the first time that Jia Zhang had seen him talking to Qin Huairu. When she heard what the neighbors said, she became furious.

"If you dare to say one more word to my daughter-in-law, I will ask the security department to arrest you!"

Jia Zhang also spoke viciously.

"What am I doing? I'm donating food to help your Jia family. You don't know how to appreciate my kindness."

"And you, Xu Damao, you are slandering me, right? I'll teach you a lesson and you'll be done for!"

Sha Zhu first explained to Jia Zhang angrily, then stood up from the stool and punched Xu Damao.

"Silly Zhu, if you have something to say, just say it. What's the point of you wanting to hit someone now?"

"Today's matter is to discuss the Jia family. Everyone sit down and listen to my opinions. If you have any questions, speak up."

Xu Wenhao glanced at Sha Zhu, but he would not let Sha Zhu hit anyone at this time.

The main reason is that the scene is wrong. It's okay to fight at ordinary times, but you called a meeting of the whole school to have a fight. Do you really think that everyone is a good person and will not report you, right?

"Uncle, I don't want to hit Xu Damao. It's mainly because this grandson is so rude that he actually slandered me!"

Sha Zhu also obediently stopped and explained.

The main reason is that Xu Damao is smart. After being beaten so many times, he knows to hide behind the crowd, otherwise he would have been beaten.

"Xu Damao, when you and your father come to the meeting, just be honest. Speak up if you have any objections, but don't ridicule others. If this doesn't happen, are you slandering me?"

Xu Wenhao would not indulge Xu Damao, but instead slandered him and told him to behave himself.

"I understand, sir. I won't say anything nonsense."

Xu Damao didn't expect Xu Wenhao to be so cruel. He started slandering people as soon as he opened his mouth.

But in fact, what he said was just hearsay, and if people take it seriously, he will be in trouble.
