Yi Zhonghai knew it very well. He knew that he would have to help the Jia family sooner or later, but he originally planned to discuss the matter with the Jia family in private, so that if there was a conflict between the two families in the future, there would still be room for maneuver.

However, at this moment, Director Wang actually announced in front of everyone in the hospital that he would help the Jia family, which really caught Yi Zhonghai off guard.

After all, given the Jia family's current situation, they will definitely keep pestering me, and I won't be able to openly refute them. Isn't that just asking for trouble?

But at this moment, Yi Zhonghai suddenly felt a glimmer of hope in his heart. Since Director Wang asked him to help the Jia family, did it mean that he no longer needed to take care of the Wang family?

Although he knew the possibility was slim, he still wanted to give it a try.

So he asked Director Wang carefully.

"Director Wang, I have no objection to this punishment. I just want to ask, since I am now responsible for helping the Jia family, can I no longer help the Wang family?"

Upon hearing this, Director Wang immediately shook his head and refused, "How can that be possible? Your support for the Wang family was decided by your courtyard house through consultation, and you all reached a consensus at the beginning.

And Yan Bugui has already prepared the certification documents. After everyone signs and confirms, we can report it to our street office for filing. Therefore, you must take care of both the Jia family and the Wang family at the same time, no one can be left behind!

Besides, helping the Jia family is a punishment for your abuse of power for personal gain, not a way to bargain with you, and Jia Dongxu is originally your apprentice.

Your family is the richest in the entire courtyard, and your income is not low, at least it can be ranked in the top three, and the burden is small, so there is no problem in asking your colleagues to help the Jia family and the Wang family.

You have already formulated the standards for supporting the Wang family, and our street office also thinks there is no problem. As for the Jia family, the standards for supporting his family will be negotiated by you two families. After all, the Jia family is not included in these three families.

Of course, you can't just give some corn flour and be perfunctory about it because the street office hasn't set standards for you. Since it's assistance, you have to do your best to help others. I don't want to hear from you anymore about the Jia family complaining about poverty and hunger.

Yi Zhonghai, you are a great man, you must always serve the people. The greater your ability, the greater your responsibility. Do you understand? "

"Okay, I understand." As the last glimmer of hope was shattered, Yi Zhonghai accepted his fate.

After Director Wang said that, Yi Zhonghai could already imagine the scene of him being sucked dry by the Jia family in the future.

To be honest, the more Yi Zhonghai thinks about it, the more regretful he is. He regrets why he was so anxious and used his connections to get his job back. Director Wang removed you, and you got your job back through your connections right after.

How could Director Wang not hold a grudge against you? Now that you have put the evidence in his hands, of course he will feel angry.

Yi Zhonghai also regretted why he had held this donation meeting for the Jia family. If he hadn't done so, he could have solved the problem by simply giving the Jia family some corn flour from time to time.

But now, he suddenly had to take on the task of supporting two families. The Wang family was easy to deal with, after all, the standards had been set, but the Jia family was in trouble.

Although Jia Zhang is not here, the remaining ones are not easy to get along with. Oh, I regret and hate them so much.

In fact, Director Wang made this decision because he wanted to deal with Yi Zhonghai. After all, he forced his superiors to agree to his reinstatement, which would make any leader very angry.

The second reason is that Director Wang already knows about the dealings between the Jia family and Yi Zhonghai. She does not have a good impression of either family. Instead of letting them come out to harm everyone in the courtyard, it is better to use this opportunity to tie the two families together and let them fight each other.

Moreover, Director Wang deliberately did not set support standards for the Jia family, in order to disgust Yi Zhonghai and make him realize how sinister human nature is.

The happiest people at this time were Qin Huairu and Jia Dongxu. They had been planning to talk to Yi Zhonghai about this matter in the evening. Now that Director Wang had made the decision, they could suck Yi Zhonghai's blood openly from now on.

Moreover, Director Wang has not yet set a standard for his family, but just said that they can no longer complain about being poor and hungry outside. In this way, isn't that exactly what he wants?

I guess the smiles on Jia Dongxu and his wife's faces can hardly be suppressed at this moment.

"Okay, Zhou Jin, please continue."

"Okay, Director Wang.

When I saw that donations were needed again and that the Jia family was involved, I knew there was something fishy, ​​but the Liu and Zhao families are indeed in a difficult situation in our courtyard, and this matter cannot be handled like last year.

So I came up with this idea, to bring up the previous incident of the Jia family's fraudulent donation, deprive the Jia family of their qualifications, and then replace the Jia family with Sister Wang's family in the Central Courtyard.

There is a food crisis now, and everyone's ration has been reduced. Everyone's life is more difficult. It would definitely be unreasonable to ask everyone to donate money and food to help these three families. After all, even if it is to help others, the prerequisite is to feed yourself first.

So I counted the residents in our courtyard who had high incomes and small burdens, and in the end there were me, the eldest uncle, the second uncle, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao.

My family and that of my eldest uncle have high income and small burden, my second uncle has high income but heavier burden, and Sha Zhu and Xu Damao have average income but small burden.

I thought that if a few of us could help these three families, firstly, it would reduce the burden on other residents in the courtyard. After all, everyone’s life is difficult now, and they are struggling to avoid starving to death.

Secondly, it can provide long-term assistance. After all, no one knows how long this food crisis will last. It is unrealistic to make donations every month, which may overwhelm other residents.

After comprehensive consideration, we decided that I would be responsible for Grandpa Liu's house in the front yard, the first uncle who lived in the middle yard would be responsible for Sister Wang's house in the middle yard, and the second uncle, Sha Zhu and Xu Damao would be responsible for the Zhao family in the back yard.

Because this may be long-term assistance, our goal is to ensure that people do not starve to death, so we give each family 20 kilograms of coarse grains and 5 yuan per month until the ration is restored.

Yesterday, I asked the uncle to write the certification documents, and we are waiting for everyone to sign them today, and report them to the street office tomorrow. Director Wang happened to be here today, so we will sign and report them now. "

"Okay, no problem. Yan Bugui, bring up the document you have written." Director Wang said to Yan Bugui.

Yan Bugui took out the written certificate from his pocket and placed it on the eight-immortals table, three copies in total.

Director Wang picked up the certificate and looked at it for a while, then spoke to everyone.

"Zhou Jin, Sha Zhu, Xu Damao, the heads of Uncle Liu's family in the front yard, the Wang family in the middle yard, and the Zhao family in the back yard, come up."

After hearing what Director Wang said, several people walked to the eight-immortals table, signed their names on the certificate, and finally handed all three certificates to the secretary of the street office, who was responsible for registration and reporting.

After signing, several people returned to their original seats, but Zhou Jin did not leave. Instead, he said to Director Wang.

"Director Wang, this matter has been perfectly resolved. I hope I can provide you with some ideas."

"Xiao Zhou, you did a great job on this matter. It provided us with a new idea. If you come up with any good ideas in the future, please let me know."

"Director Wang, no problem. We will definitely support your work."

“Of course, your families are selfless and helpful, so although our subdistrict office cannot give you material rewards, we will still give you praise.

Tomorrow I will ask the Street Office to prepare a banner for each of you five families. At the same time, if the Street Office has any policies, you families will be given priority consideration. "

"Okay, thank you Director Wang."

"Thank you, Director Wang."

"Okay, it's getting late, let's all go home and have some rest."

After Director Wang finished speaking, he led the two staff members out of the courtyard, and the rest of the people also picked up their benches and went back home.

The saddest person in this meeting tonight must be Fathead Fish, who, just because of a brain cramp, went to provoke Zhou Jin for no reason. As a result, not only did he throw away the benefits he had obtained, but he also had to apologize to a junior in public, which was a huge disgrace to him.

Of course, Yi Zhonghai is not much better off, and now that the Jia family has obtained permission from the street office, Yi Zhonghai's good days are coming to an end.

However, based on Zhou Jin's understanding of Yi Zhonghai, he would never let the Jia family suck his blood willingly. He would definitely find someone to share the pressure, and that person would probably be Sha Zhu.

The only real winner of the conference was the Jia family. They originally thought that they would be punished by the street office because of their donations, but in the end, nothing happened.

It also solved their family's food problem and sucked the biggest blood bag of Yi Zhonghai, the courtyard, and this was officially recognized by the street office.

Anyway, the big issue in the courtyard was finally resolved, and everyone returned to their peaceful life, just like this dark and silent night, without any ripples.

In this way, the days passed one by one, and Zhou Jin had found a yard suitable for supplying the steel rolling mill, which was in an alley ten kilometers southeast of the steel rolling mill.

This is an abandoned courtyard house that looks extremely dilapidated and desolate.

All the houses have collapsed, leaving only a few ruins standing upright.

Perhaps because it is too dilapidated, the government did not repair it and left it abandoned to this day.

Since there were no factories nearby and there was little demand for housing, this yard was left alone.

However, this was a pleasant surprise for Zhou Jin.

It took her nearly a month to find the yard for several reasons.

First, the yard is in the middle of nowhere but accessible by truck.

Secondly, the surrounding area is sparsely populated. There is a rural area about three kilometers to the southeast, and there is no one living within 200 meters around the yard.

The most important thing is that the yard is very dilapidated and there is not a single complete house. In this way, even if a large number of refugees flock to the capital in the future, no one will choose to occupy this yard.

After all, if you want to live in this courtyard, you must first carry out large-scale repairs. Even if it is not completely repaired, there must at least be a roof to shelter from the rain and walls to block the wind. People who flee from famine simply cannot afford such expenses.

It was because of these considerations that Zhou Jin chose this place as the warehouse to supply the steel rolling mill. Anyway, the materials would not really be stored here, it was just a cover.

As for the warehouses supplying the black market, Zhou Jin has his eyes on several of them, but what he lacks now is someone he can trust. After all, if this matter is discovered, he will lose his head, so he has to be careful.

Zhou Jin has already done all the preliminary work and is just waiting for the beginning of next month to propose to Director Li that large quantities of supplies be possible.

At this time, Li Huaide was so worried that his head was almost going bald. He was responsible for the logistics of the steel rolling mill. As long as there was any problem in the logistics, it would be his responsibility.

Ever since Zhou Jin came, the entire purchasing department has completed its tasks on time and in quantity every month, which has made him proud. After all, only good logistics can ensure the smooth completion of production tasks.

But since the beginning of the year, Purchasing Group 3 has not completed a single purchasing task. Only Zhou Jin completed the task in a few weeks, while no one else has completed it once. But it really cannot be blamed on them.

Everyone knows about the reduction in grain production caused by drought. As the capital, the conditions in the surrounding rural areas of Beijing are relatively better, otherwise it would be difficult to purchase supplies from the rural areas.

Of course, the current situation of the steel rolling mill can still be sustained for a while. After all, as a national key factory, the state will definitely give it strong support. Although the food ration has been reduced, at least there is still a guarantee for living.

But working in a steel mill involves heavy physical labor after all. Just having enough food cannot guarantee the completion of production tasks. Workers also need to have oil and water to replenish their energy so that they have the strength to work.

Moreover, Li Huaide learned from his father-in-law that the disaster was very serious and might last for a long time. Even in the best case scenario, it would take two or three years for the entire country to recover.
