Golden Color Xiangjiang: A Young Man's Dream in a Siheyuan

Zhou Jin was not familiar with this group of people, and the others were a little afraid of him, so there was no one around Zhou Jin. This was exactly what Zhou Jin wanted, as he didn't really want to deal with this group of people right now.

So Zhou Jin sat there alone, eating melon seeds. At this time, someone actually brought a stool and sat down next to him.

Zhou Jin was originally very curious about who was so bold as to sit next to him. Wasn't he afraid of being noticed by Yi Zhonghai and the others?

Zhou Jin raised his head and looked over, and what came into view was a long face. Needless to say, Zhou Jin already knew who it was.

There is a real villain in Siheyuan, Xu Damao. However, Zhou Jin searched his mind for memories about Xu Damao and found that he seemed to have never met him since he returned to Siheyuan.

But it makes sense. He is the projectionist of the steel mill. He has been showing movies in the village and traveling around the surrounding villages during this period.

I either stayed at home, went to the countryside to purchase goods, or wandered around the city, and it seemed that the two of us had no chance to meet.

However, Zhou Jin was still very curious. She had no connection with him, so why did he take the initiative to sit next to her?

Just when Zhou Jin was about to ask, Xu Damao spoke first.

"Zhou Jin, do you still recognize me? I am your brother Damao."

Although Zhou Jin didn't want to admit it, Xu Damao was indeed one year older than him, so it seemed reasonable to call him brother.

"Of course I know you, but how come I haven't seen you once since I came back?"

"Well, I have a lot of screening tasks during this period. I basically show movies in the surrounding villages one by one. Some villages are too far away, and it takes three or four days to go back and forth. I haven't been back to Siheyuan during this period."

"No wonder, Brother Damao, you've worked so hard, and the steel mill has found a treasure."

Xu Damao was very pleased with Zhou Jin's compliments.

"Hahaha, you know what, you are worthy of being a leader, you have better vision than most people, I'm not bragging, just look at my projection technology, let alone the steel mill, even if the surrounding factories are combined, there is no one better than me."

"That's true, Brother Damao, you are this."

Zhou Jin gave him a thumbs up.

The reason why Xu Damao sat directly next to Zhou Jin was that he had already found out clearly that Zhou Jin not only became a deputy section chief as soon as he came back, but was also a full-fledged state cadre.

Moreover, he beat Sha Zhu so badly in the courtyard that he lost all his armor. Even Yi Zhonghai was embarrassed in front of Zhou Jin and had to flee in panic. He stole the show.

Xu Damao was a thorn in Yi Zhonghai's eyes and was often targeted by Yi Zhonghai and his men, but he was weak and could only endure it silently.

But now it’s different. Zhou Jin is back, and he has become a mortal enemy with Yi Zhonghai and others. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

Therefore, Xu Damao was planning to make friends with Zhou Jin. No matter Zhou Jin's identity or his ability, with his help, it would be easy for him to fight against Yi Zhonghai, Sha Zhu and the others.

"Hey, Zhou Jin, do you know what this conference is for?"

"I don't know. I just came back not long ago and haven't had much contact with the people in the hospital." Zhou Jin shook his head and replied.

"I guess it must be related to the Jia family. It's probably another donation to his family." Xu Damao had an expression that said, "I know everything."

Zhou Jin was also very curious about the basis for Xu Damao's judgment: "Why, who told you?"

"Zhou Jin, you don't know that Yi Zhonghai is a complete hypocrite. On the surface, he is the eldest master of the courtyard, but his heart is with his apprentice Jia.

In the past, he would hold two or three donation conferences for the Jia family every year. Now that the Jia family has another child and Jia Zhang has also come out, life at home must be difficult, so they went to Yi Zhonghai to complain, which led to this conference.

Besides, I haven't heard of any major events happening around here recently, nothing happened in the yard, and I haven't heard any notices from the street, so apart from donating to the Jia family, I can't think of any other possibilities." Xu Damao analyzed confidently.

Zhou Jin looked at Xu Damao and couldn't help feeling a little surprised.

I originally thought Xu Damao was just a selfish, sinister and vicious villain, but I didn't expect his observation and analytical skills to be so strong. It seems that I have to re-examine this person and can no longer judge him based on his image in the TV series.

After all, the two of them had little in common, and all I knew about him came from TV dramas, which left me with a lot of prejudice.

Now it seems that Xu Damao is not only eloquent, but also good at observation and thinking, and has keen insight. Although his personality is still not very likable, we have to admit that he does have certain abilities.

Perhaps in this courtyard, everyone has his or her own story and characteristics, and we cannot easily judge a person's goodness or badness based solely on superficial phenomena.

For Zhou Jin, this is also an opportunity to learn and grow, allowing him to better adapt to life in this era.

"Yes, if what you said is true, this meeting tonight is most likely to donate money to the Jia family, and I can guarantee that Yi Zhonghai will definitely make trouble for me." Zhou Jin said with a frown.

"Of course, don't be fooled by this uncle's sanctimonious appearance, he is actually a hypocrite, and he is very mean-spirited. As long as you don't listen to him, he will find a way to target you.

You see, you've only been back for more than three months, and there have been so many conflicts between you, and every time he failed to gain any advantage from you.

With his vengeful character, if you slap him in the face, not give him face, and make him lose face, he will definitely find a way to target you when he has the greatest advantage, that is, in the whole college meeting.

Even though you humiliated him before, it was not enough to shake his position in the courtyard, so the time when he took action against you at the whole courtyard meeting was when he was most confident.

And I think that in this conference, he will not only target you, but even Shazhu will keep an eye on me, ah." Xu Damao said with some excitement and helplessness.

It turns out that Xu Damao knows everything, but he can still maintain outward obedience to Yi Zhonghai and others. He is indeed worthy of being called the real villain of the Siheyuan, and he is really able to endure.

“Brother Damao, your analysis makes sense, but don’t worry, if they want to deal with me, we have to see if they have the ability to do so.

If they don't come to trouble me, I don't mind donating a penny as a token of my appreciation. If they dare to make a move on me, I don't mind making this donation conference impossible."

Xu Damao was aroused by Zhou Jin's domineering words.

"Zhou Jin, if someone else said this, I would definitely think he was bragging, but if you said this, then I would definitely believe it."

"Hahaha, Brother Damao, let's just wait and see."

"Okay, today I will sacrifice my life to accompany you."

Just when Zhou Jin and Xu Damao were having a pleasant conversation, three old men came with an enamel cup each, and the scene became quiet.

I have to say that what Xu Damao said was very correct. Although he had embarrassed those old men several times, they had indeed accumulated prestige in the hearts of this group of people for a long time, and it would be difficult to eliminate this prestige unless something major happened.

The three old men sat down at the octagonal table in order. Liu Haizhong looked up at everyone and saw that almost everyone was there. He stood up, took a sip of water, and then began his opening remarks.

"Everyone, please be quiet. Our courtyard has always been an advanced courtyard, relying on mutual help, unity and friendship, and friendly coexistence among neighbors.

Today's meeting of the whole hospital was held at the request of Jia Dongxu of the Jia family. The three of us uncles decided to hold it after discussion. The specific matters will be presided over by the eldest uncle. "After saying this, Liu Haizhong picked up the cup again and drank a sip of water before sitting down.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Liu Haizhong's behavior and thought to himself that he was really an official-obsessed person. He didn't become an official, but he managed to imitate the attitude of an official.

Yi Zhonghai also stood up, picked up the enamel cup and drank a sip of water, then said: "Today we are calling everyone to hold this meeting of the whole courtyard. The reason is that the Jia family asked for it, as the second uncle said just now. As everyone knows, the Jia family has always had a difficult life.

"Qin Huairu has just given birth to a child, and she needs a lot of nutrition, but the Jia family's conditions are limited, and they can only eat some simple meals. Both adults and children are malnourished and very weak.

Besides, their family relies on Jia Dongxu alone to earn money, and it is too difficult to support three adults and two children. "

Yi Zhonghai deliberately paused, took a sip of water, observed everyone's reactions, and continued after finding nothing unusual.

"Our compound has always been about helping each other, solidarity and friendship. When we encounter difficulties, everyone will work together to find ways to solve the problem.

Now that the Jia family is having difficulties in life, Jia Dongxu found the three of us uncles, hoping to organize a donation in the hospital to help their family overcome the difficulties.

After detailed investigation and understanding, the three of us uncles confirmed that the Jia family's life was indeed very difficult, almost to the point where they could not make a living, so we decided to hold this whole hospital meeting to raise funds for the Jia family.

I believe that everyone is kind and enthusiastic and will not let their neighbors starve to death. We have lived in the same courtyard for so long that the relationship between us can be said to be as close as a family.

At this critical moment, we should lend a helping hand without hesitation to help the Jia family tide over the difficulties.

Maybe some people will think this is just a small matter, but for the Jia family, this may be a life-saving straw. I believe that as long as each of us contributes a little, we can help the Jia family get out of trouble.

At the same time, I also believe that the Jia family will be grateful for everyone's help and will actively repay everyone's kindness in the future. Let us act together and show our love and care with practical actions! "

After hearing what Yi Zhonghai said, the crowd below started to talk. Everyone knew what kind of person Jia Zhang was. She was a shrew who never got enough of taking advantage of others. Wanting her to repay them was ridiculous.

However, everyone only dared to discuss these things in private, and they did not dare to say them openly. After all, Yi Zhonghai had accumulated power in the Siheyuan for a long time, and no one wanted to be the first to speak out.

Zhou Jin also started chatting with Xu Damao, "Brother Damao, you are awesome. You guessed it all. Will you donate the rest?"

"I definitely don't want to donate, but I can't afford to offend these people now. I don't have your ability, and that idiot Zhu must be staring at me." Xu Damao looked helpless.

"Haha, you have a clear understanding of yourself." Zhou Jin said half-jokingly.

Yi Zhonghai looked at the people who were talking quietly in the audience, and then continued: "Okay, everyone, be quiet. As the eldest uncle in the hospital, I will set an example first."

"I'll donate twenty dollars to the Jia family."

Yi Zhonghai took out two big black tens from his pocket, then held them up high for everyone to take a look at, and then put them into the donation box on the Eight Immortals Table.

"Well, the uncle is worthy of being the uncle. He is simply a moral role model of our courtyard. He is warm-hearted and always willing to help others."

Sha Zhu was shouting and clapping on the side, a real lackey.

Yi Zhonghai also looked at Sha Zhu with satisfaction.

Liu Haizhong also stood up at this time, "The first uncle has donated 20 yuan, and as the second uncle of the courtyard, I naturally cannot be a drag, so I will also donate 20 yuan."

Liu Haizhong took out two big black bills from his pocket with a look of heartache and put them into the donation box.

At this time, everyone turned their attention to the third uncle Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui searched his pockets for a long time and finally took out five yuan. "Everyone knows that I have a large family and my salary is not as much as my first and second uncles. I really can't afford much money, so I will donate five yuan."

Yan Bugui put the money into the donation box, then turned around and couldn't bear to look at it anymore.

After all, the Yan family usually has to calculate every penny of pickled vegetable they eat. This time he took out five yuan. Although he will return it to himself later, he will feel very uncomfortable as long as the money is out of his pocket.

But whether he was really feeling uncomfortable or just pretending, no one else knew.

After the three old men made their donations, the originally bustling yard suddenly became quiet. No one was stupid and it was impossible for them to just give their money to that bottomless pit.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai looked a little embarrassed. He also knew that the Jia family was not popular in the courtyard, but he was his apprentice after all, so he had to take care of him. So Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu.

It’s a pity that Sha Zhu was staring at Qin Huairu and didn’t notice Yi Zhonghai’s eyes at all.

Yi Zhonghai was helpless too. He could only yell at this bastard, "Pillar."

Sha Zhu then came to his senses, remembered his mission, quickly retracted his gaze, and walked towards the eight-immortals table.

"My uncle always taught me to help others. The Jia family is indeed in financial difficulty. I will donate ten yuan."

Now that Jia Dongxu is still alive, Sha Zhu doesn't dare to get too close to Qin Huairu, so the poisoning is not serious yet, otherwise he would have directly paid twenty yuan and become like an old man.

Yi Zhonghai looked at Sha Zhu with satisfaction. This brainless thing was indeed easy to use.

"Thank you, Zhuzi." Qin Huairu smiled at Sha Zhu.

This made Sha Zhu so happy that he lost his mind. He looked so stupid that even Yi Zhonghai shook his head when he saw him.

Jia Dongxu on the side was also very unhappy and stared at Sha Zhu fiercely. If it weren't for the overall donation situation, he would have gone up to teach Sha Zhu a lesson long ago.

After Sha Zhu made his donation, the scene became quiet again, and still no one took the initiative to come forward to donate.

Yi Zhonghai was also helpless. The other two uncles just sat there drinking tea and showed no intention of standing up. Now he had no choice but to come alone.

So he turned his eyes to Zhou Jin and Xu Damao who were chatting animatedly. Two of his enemies were actually sitting together and chatting so enthusiastically. He had to teach them a lesson.
