Liu Haizhong was not happy today either. He had nothing to do with showing his face like this. How could this be possible? He couldn't control others and could only vent his anger on his own son.
"This Wang Tingxuan is so useless. Why don't you ask me to do such a thing? You can't find someone to lead everyone to do such a big thing."
The second aunt was also greedy for the mutton soup. She felt uncomfortable in her heart, and her words were not pleasant: "Old Liu, Wang Tingxuan is not under your control, so why should I ask you to lead everyone? Without you, I wouldn't be able to do very well."
"
Liu Haizhong just complained, but unexpectedly, the second aunt slapped him back. Although he often beat his son, he never had a fight with his wife, and he didn't want others to see the joke, so he ignored the second aunt. The second aunt also knew that he
I said the wrong thing, I felt bad, and the couple fell into silence.
The matter of delivering sheep soup to poor households soon became a topic of conversation among the people in the neighborhood due to publicity in the streets. Of course, it is impossible to get everyone's approval no matter what, but No. 37 Courtyard became this year's outstanding representative. This event
The matter is beyond doubt.
The three uncles in Courtyard No. 38 were not happy. Yi Zhonghai was so proud that he restricted all matters in the courtyard to the courtyard. The reason was that it would affect the courtyard's evaluation. As for Liu Haizhong, the courtyard's evaluation was not good.
This shows that he has strong leadership. Yan Bugui is eyeing the prizes handed out by the street during the annual evaluation of outstanding students.
Now it's good. Courtyard No. 37 has directly occupied a quota, so the remaining competition will be great. Their courtyard now has a bad impression among the street director Wang. If they lose the election this year, none of the three uncles will be willing.
"Lao Yi, you have many ideas, let's see what we do. Our yard is excellent every year, and we can't let it fall behind this year." Yan Bugui is the most anxious. If there are no prizes from the street, his family will have to spend more during the New Year.
Money, this is even worse than killing him.
There was no need to ask Liu Haizhong at this time, he couldn't come up with any ideas at all.
Yi Zhonghai also thought about it for several days. Courtyard No. 37 was definitely selected because of the good deeds he did. However, their mutton soup was only for everyone to try, and it would not solve the problem at all. What if they also made it?
Wouldn't it be possible to surpass Courtyard No. 37 in one go? The most important thing is that there is a chef named Silly Zhu in their courtyard. If the food they cook tastes better than Courtyard No. 37, wouldn't it just overwhelm them?
"Lao Liu, Lao Yan, this is what I think. Let's also give something to the poor families on the street. It should be better than No. 37 Courtyard. In this way, we can suppress their limelight."
Liu Haizhong has also heard in the past few days that Uncle Zhao and Director Wang jointly directed people to deliver things to poor households. He felt that if he were the one, he could do better than Uncle Zhao. Yi Zhonghai's words gave him a chance to show off.
Well.
"Lao Yi is right. We have been better than them in the past. I don't believe that the three of us will be compared to them."
Yan Bugui was not happy. What he valued was the things distributed by the street. Why did he still have to pay for it now? He had never had much say in the courtyard. This time, seeing that both Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong agreed, he could only
Can take back one's dissatisfaction.
"Lao Yi, Lao Liu, what should we give, and how much should we give to suppress their limelight. Also, where do the gifts come from?"
This is the point of the question. None of the three uncles are generous people, and they would not take out so many things out of thin air. In the past, Yi Zhonghai had Fuzhu to help him stand out, and he could just pick up the slack from behind. Now Fool is
Zhu couldn't count on it. He himself was reluctant to take out so many things.
After being silent for a while, Liu Haizhong was unwilling to give up such a good opportunity and said: "We can't get wild goats like Tingxuan did, and even if we have money, we can't get meat. However, we can help the hospital.
For the poor households here, this can be considered a good deed.”
Yi Zhonghai felt that this was a good opportunity to restore his image, and the poor households in the courtyard were Qin Huairu's family, and the deaf old lady was her godmother, so there were no outsiders.
"Old Liu is right. We are all a family in our courtyard. How can we not help if we have difficulties? We will also carry out poverty alleviation in the courtyard. Then I will ask Director Wang to come and take a look."
When Yan Bugui heard this, he was still dissatisfied and had to ask: "Then what should we do and where can we get the meat?"
Yi Zhonghai said: "We definitely can't ask everyone to donate money for this matter. Otherwise, we three uncles will join together. We will come up with some money and meat tickets and let Shazhu make it for everyone and distribute it to the poor households."
Yan Bugui thought for a while and said: "Lao Yi, who has extra meat tickets these days? Our family doesn't have any. Do you two have any?"
Isn't this nonsense? The two of them can't afford so many meat tickets. Not only can they not afford it, not even the whole yard can afford it.
"How about we go find Wang Tingxuan and ask him to get us some?"
We didn’t say in advance whether it could be done or not. Even if it was done, wouldn’t the credit still belong to others? They had been busy for most of the day and couldn’t get anything out of it.
Yan Bugui thought for a while and said: "In our courtyard, Xu Damao has the most options. He often goes to the countryside to play movies. How about asking him to buy some domestic meat from the fellow villagers?"
The three of them thought about it for a long time, and they could only ask Xu Damao about this matter.
Speaking of Xu Damao, I have been feeling bad for the past two days. It turns out that Lou Zhenhua's daughter is Lou Xiao'e. If I had known that she was so beautiful, how could I have taken advantage of Wang Tingxuan and let myself lose such a big person? If Lou Zhenhua hadn't helped this time
, everyone still doesn’t know that Lou Xiao’e is Lou Zhenhua’s daughter.
Xu Damao didn't think he had done anything wrong. It must have been Wang Tingxuan who deceived the Lou family and got such a big advantage. He was unwilling to accept it and wanted to take revenge on Wang Tingxuan.
The three uncles came to Xu Damao at this time and explained what they had discussed. Xu Damao felt that God wanted to help him, and now he was no longer afraid of Wang Tingxuan's revenge.
"You three uncles, I have a way to get meat from the countryside, but this is speculation and I will be arrested. I can't do this." Xu Damao sternly rejected the three people's proposal.
Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth, feeling that the deaf old lady could protect him even if something happened, and said: "Xu Damao, how can this be considered speculation? We are doing good deeds. Don't worry, none of us will tell anyone.
Said."
Xu Damao still said in embarrassment: "Master, the risk of this matter is too great. I went to the countryside to play a movie two days ago and met a fellow who raised chickens. It would be no problem to discuss it with him. However, the price of this chicken
It’s much more expensive than buying it.”
Liu Haizhong asked: "How much does one cost?"
Xu Damao sheep pretended to think for a while and said: "He's full of old hens laying eggs. If we buy them, it will only cost 3 yuan each."
"Three yuan, the price on the market is only 2 yuan, which is too high." Yan Bugui felt that he was at a loss and was not happy.
Xu Damao said: "Third uncle, this is an old hen that lays eggs. I want to pay three yuan for my sake. If you are not happy, I don't want to go."
Yi Zhonghai grabbed Yan Bugui and said, "Okay, Xu Damao, three yuan is three yuan. You have to pick a few fat ones, and you can't use those few chickens to trick us."
