As Jia Zhang finished speaking, the entire courtyard fell into silence like a stereo that had been unplugged.
The residents unanimously cast their expectant eyes on Li Weidong.
Of course Li Weidong knew what these people were thinking.
Whoring for nothing!
In the courtyard house, everyone likes to have sex for free.
The east family borrows a ladle of noodles, and the west family borrows two spoons of salt.
They are all small things anyway.
If they say it's a loan, who can ask them to pay it back?
If you ask them to return it, not only will they not return it, they will stab you in the back, scold you for being stingy, and label you as destroying the unity of the neighborhood.
It's just that Qin Huairu borrowed a lot of things, almost killing people, so he was regarded as a typical example and criticized.
In this day and age, electricity once cost 35 cents. Even the most frugal people still have to pay more than 1 yuan a month for electricity.
For more than one yuan, I'm afraid I won't even be able to buy a piece of candy in future generations.
But in this era, you can buy ten pounds of stick noodles, enough to feed a family for two or three days.
Li Weidong's solar panels gave them hope of saving this money.
I often chat with Jia Zhang,
When the aunt of the Zhang family saw that Li Weidong did not answer, she was afraid that Li Weidong would not agree, so she quickly looked at several neighbors and shouted loudly.
"That's right, Weidong's solar panels are a good thing. I'm so jealous when I look at them. We are all neighbors and we should help each other. Weidong, can you build one for my house? I'm sure you can still build one for my house."
I have some remaining ingredients, and when they’re ready, I’ll treat you to a meal.”
Good guy, not only do you not pay for your labor, you are not even willing to pay for materials.
Sure enough, it was free prostitution.
Li Weidong held his arms in his arms and looked at Aunt Zhang calmly: "Aunt, it's okay for me to put in a little effort, but the materials needed to make solar panels need to be bought from a chemical store, copper sheets, ferric chloride solution, alcohol, plating
Tin, double-layer capacitors, and other miscellaneous things cost seven or eight yuan."
"Ah? Seven or eight yuan, that's a lot!" Aunt Zhang's eyes suddenly became anxious when she heard this, and she curled her lips and said: "Weidong, just be a good person and do it to the end. Help me put the money for the materials first, and wait for my old man to do the next one.
We’ll calculate it after the monthly salary is paid.”
"That's right, that's right, with so many of us buying materials, it will definitely be cheaper. Li Weidong, you advance the money first, and we will settle the accounts later. We can't lose to you!"
The residents all nodded in agreement with Aunt Zhang's opinion.
Recalculation? What is recalculation?
Speaking of which, are you prepared to have sex for free?
Originally, Li Weidong thought that if the neighbors were really willing to pay the money, he wouldn't mind uniting the masses.
However, their attitude is really heartbreaking.
Li Weidong was convinced by these people.
"I'm sorry, I just talked about the cost of materials. Making solar panels is a time-consuming and laborious task. I charge five yuan for each piece of labor, but it's not excessive!"
In this era, relying on one's own labor in exchange for remuneration does not constitute speculation.
On the street, there are often craftsmen who sharpen scissors and shave heads to solicit business.
When the residents heard that they were still being paid five yuan for their labor, they immediately became dumbfounded.
Five yuan can buy three or four kilograms of meat!
However, they cannot say that Li Weidong should not receive labor remuneration, or that the labor remuneration is too high.
After all, no one knows the manufacturing process of solar panels.
They are all in the same compound, and blind pressure can easily lead to conflicts.
Besides, Yu Li is the second uncle.
The residents turned off the lights, but Jia Zhang did not.
She has now broken up with Li Weidong.
A dead pig is not afraid of boiling water.
However, Jia Zhang is a smart person.
He knew that he could not deal with Li Weidong on his own.
Quietly, he gave Aunt Yi a look.
Aunt Yi now hated Li Weidong to the core of her bones. When she caught the look, she nodded knowingly.
A simple alliance was formed.
"Li Weidong, I think you are just doing something special. We have to pay for electricity in our compound, so why is it free for you?" Aunt Yi took the lead.
"That's right, the higher-ups have been advocating equality...I forgot the specific details. Anyway, we just can't be special..." Jia Zhang took over.
It has to be said that Aunt Yi has been with Yi Zhonghai for decades.
Under the influence of his ears and eyes, he learned the tricks of Yi Zhonghai's moral kidnapping.
The essence of moral kidnapping is to harm someone's interests and please most people.
To put it simply, it is the generous nature of healthy people.
Most people really can't stand it.
When Si Zhu heard Aunt Yi's words and saw the tensed faces of the residents, he secretly felt a sweat for Li Weidong.
If he becomes a public enemy of the entire compound, life will be difficult in the future.
but.
As a man who succeeded entirely through his own efforts, can Li Weidong be an ordinary person?
He did not directly return to what the two said, but walked to Qin Huairu.
"Master, I want to report Jia Zhang and Aunt Yi."
"Ah?" Qin Huairu was stunned.
"I reported them to misinterpret the above and maliciously mislead the public."
"What's the meaning....."
"Equality does not mean that every household must be exactly the same.
Otherwise, why can Yi Zhonghai get a salary of ninety-nine yuan, while your salary is only seventeen and a half yuan?
Why can Mr. Jia and Zhang sleep during the day, but we need to work?
Equality means that people's status is equal.
We are all working people and have the same rights."
"Ah...this...that..." Qin Huairu felt that her brain was not used enough, and she secretly scolded Aunt Yi and Jia Zhang in her heart.
The reason why she acquiesced in Jia Zhang's attack on Li Weidong was that she wanted to save Li Weidong from danger at a critical moment and take the opportunity to show her strong leadership ability.
Let Li Weidong know that she is more than just a beautiful vase.
Unexpectedly, Aunt Yi came out with "equality" and was caught by Li Weidong.
Qin Huairu never went to school at all. She only knew some words through literacy classes, but she didn't know the meaning of "equality" at all.
How to do it?
Just when Qin Huairu was at a loss, Yan Bugui stood up and spoke.
"Comrade Weidong's explanation is very precise. If everyone was exactly the same, wouldn't it be a mess?"
As one of the few smart people in this era, Yan Bugui despised those residents in his heart.
Isn't it just a dozen yuan, and you can use electricity for free for a lifetime? This business is a good deal no matter how you calculate it.
Yan Bugui was the third uncle and a teacher. He was considered a cultural person in the courtyard. With his approval, Qin Huairu breathed a sigh of relief.
"The opinions of the third uncle coincide with mine. Aunt Yi and Mrs. Jia Zhang misinterpreted the meaning above without authorization and made serious mistakes. Considering that you did not mean it, you only need to apologize to Comrade Li Weidong in person. I will
I won’t hold you accountable.”
"What? Let me apologize to this kid, Qin Huairu, are you confused, or are you having an affair with this kid? I'm your mother!" Of course Jia Zhang didn't do it.
No, we can't go on like this.
Qin Huairu held this hospital-wide meeting today just to vent his anger on Li Weidong, not to cause trouble for him.
Qin Huairu immediately stood up and patted the table.
"That's enough, have you said enough? What's the business of you here? Do you want to stand up and speak?"
When Qin Huairu yelled at her, Jia Zhang's voice couldn't help but weaken a bit, but she still couldn't help but said: "I am helping everyone benefit, what's wrong?"
Qin Huairu sneered and said: "Your goal of welfare is to share other people's things? You are really generous!"
Aunt Yi was not happy when she heard this. Jia Zhang was the helper she hired with money, and she taught her those words, so Qin Huairu could not be disturbed.
So she secretly pulled Jia Zhang's finger and gestured to her, and Jia Zhang immediately understood.
"Qin Huairu, why are you talking? Don't forget your identity!"
"My identity? What's wrong with my identity?"
Qin Huairu put her hands behind her back, raised her head slightly with a solemn expression, and looked at the sunset in the distance.
The whole person is like a majestic sculpture.
"I, Qin Huairu, became a great master by relying on three advantages: fairness, fairness, fairness.
Mrs. Jia Zhang, although you are my parents-in-law, if you make a mistake, I will never protect you.
Now I order you to apologize to Li Weidong immediately."
"I don't!"
"No eating allowed at night."
"..."
The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.
Jia Zhang walked up to Li Weidong with her head twisted: "I'm sorry..."
"What? I didn't hear clearly." Li Weidong rubbed his ears.
This guy definitely did it on purpose!
Mrs. Jia Zhang gritted her teeth and lowered her head: "I'm sorry, I shouldn't have spoken nonsense."
"Aunt Jia, this is right. If you correct your mistakes, you are still a good comrade." Li Weidong smiled lightly and said: "From now on, before doing things, use your brain. Don't act like a child at your age.
, quite unreasonable.”
"you....."
Jia Zhang was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She raised her head and was about to get angry, but was so frightened by Li Weidong's cold eyes that she trembled.
"Listen to others' advice and eat enough. Madam Jia, if you are not convinced, you can continue in the future!"
Li Weidong didn't save any face for Jia Zhang.
In the crowd of residents, Mrs. Jia Zhang was criticized, but she didn't even have the courage to reply.
Even her own daughter-in-law has become someone else's, so what else can she fight against?
She hated Li Weidong so much.
As for the other instigator, Aunt Yi.
He behaves much better than Jia Zhang.
Seeing that the situation was over, he simply bowed and apologized, and returned home dejectedly.
After taking care of Mrs. Jia Zhang and Aunt Yi, Qin Huairu looked around and said: "I am holding this meeting today just to tell everyone that people in the same courtyard should be kind and friendly, and don't ignore people all day long.
You are always thinking of some dirty tricks, and if they really get into my hands, then I should call the police and notify the sub-district office when I should, because no one will be merciful!"
Seeing Qin Huairu's upright look, everyone was murmuring in their hearts.
Has Qin Huairu changed her gender?
It's not impossible when you think about it. After all, she is now a grown-up, and she can no longer maintain her previous style.
Although he couldn't take advantage, he was still very satisfied with Qin Huairu's attitude. At least he didn't have to worry about anyone being biased.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Qin Huairu nodded with satisfaction and announced the adjournment of the meeting.
Today's meeting is just to give the people in the hospital a warning, and to get rid of Aunt Yi's unrealistic thoughts.
He can also establish his prestige as a great master, which can be described as killing three birds with one stone.
After returning home.
Yu Li said angrily: "Brother Wei Dong, those residents are so outrageous, why don't you let me stop them?"
Li Weidong gently pinched Yu Li's pretty nose:
"You are stupid, don't those people know that they are going too far?
Of course they knew, but they still did it.
Why?
Just because they want to take advantage.
They will hate anyone who doesn't let them take advantage.
You are a clerk in the subdistrict office, and you also hold the position of second uncle.
If you offend them all, it will be difficult to carry out future work.
Just let Qin Huairu do the work that offends others."
Seeing her man thinking so much about her, Yu Li was so moved that she almost cried.
"Brother Wei Dong, you are so kind to me."
"....Is there any reward?"
"what do you want?"
Yu Li saw Li Weidong's evil smile, and her face turned red with embarrassment: "It's not dark yet..."
"Wouldn't that be more interesting?"
"...."
As night fell, the courtyard fell into silence.
Under the dim light, Mrs. Jia Zhang was so tired that her back ached.
I heard the rhythmic "squeaking" sound of the wooden bed coming from next door.
She angrily threw down the matchbox.
"It's been almost an hour since I've stopped working hard, you beast?"
.......
At this moment, there was a rapid knock on the door outside.
"Sister, open the door. It's me, Yu Haitang."
Li Weidong frowned, his sister-in-law came at the wrong time.
But there is nothing we can do, we can't lock my sister-in-law out, otherwise she will have to come to Yu's house tomorrow to apologize.
"Hurry up, Haitang is here. If she sees it, she will laugh at me again."
When Yu Li heard Yu Haitang's voice, she hurriedly got dressed and covered the bed with a quilt.
Then, he hurriedly opened the door.
By the time Li Weidong got dressed and walked out of the room, Yu Haitang had already entered the room and was kicking Yu Li curiously.
"Sister, do you have a fever? Why is your face so red?"
As he spoke, he reached out to touch Yu Li's forehead.
Yu Li pushed it over and said, "It's okay. I just cleaned up the dishes and I'm a little tired."
This reminded Yu Haitang. She looked into the kitchen and immediately exclaimed: "Okay, sister, you know I like to eat sausages the most. There is such a big sausage, but I ate it secretly without calling me."
"
Seeing Yu Haitang taking out half of a black and thick sausage from the kitchen.
Yu Li was a little helpless. She first turned her questioning eyes to Li Weidong, and then agreed when she saw Li Weidong nodded.
"Brother Wei Dong brought this back when he was out of the car. Since you like to eat it, why don't you take it back?"
"Really? You don't feel bad?"
"It's just a sausage. You, Brother Wei Dong, have more." Yu Li said proudly.
When Yu Haitang heard this, he wrapped the sausage in newspaper and put it in the canvas bag.
She looked at Yu Li with envy: "Sister, you are so happy to marry your brother-in-law. I am almost envious to death."
Yu Li saw that Yu Haitang's mood seemed a little off, so she quickly took Yu Haitang's hand and sat down.
"Yang Weimin is also very good. He is a clerk in the logistics department of the steel rolling mill. He has a bright future."
"Hey, don't mention him anymore, it makes me angry when I mention him."
"What? Are you having a conflict?"
"Yang Weimin was having sex with a lesbian from the Publicity Department, and I caught him."
"What...."
Seeing that the two sisters were about to whisper something, Li Weidong was inconvenient to listen.
"Yu Li, I still need to draw a picture, so I'm going back to the room first. You and Haitang can have a good chat."
"good."
"No, brother-in-law, I'm not here to complain today, I'm here to see you for something."
Yu Haitang's temperament is different from ordinary people. When others fall out of love, they will live or die.
She was very lively and didn't seem to care at all.
It looks very carefree.
Yu Li winked at Li Weidong and turned to look at Yu Haitang.
"If your brother-in-law can handle anything, he will definitely do it for you."
"Yes, yes, I am your brother-in-law. If you have any questions, just tell me." Li Weidong also agreed.
Both of them agreed, but Yu Haitang was a little hesitant and hesitated for a long time before explaining his intention.
It turned out that the Yu family heard that Li Weidong had built a device that could emit light without using electricity, and they were also interested.
But the things in my uncle's house were not his own after all, so Yu Haitang came to ask for help.
After Li Weidong understood it, he agreed immediately.
"Don't worry, I will buy some materials tomorrow and help you make one for your family."
"I just heard from the third man at the door that it costs seven or eight yuan to buy materials and five yuan for labor. I'll give you the money first."
Yu Haitang was overjoyed when he heard this and hurriedly took out a roll of banknotes from his pocket and handed it over.
Li Weidong waved his hand: "I make things for my father-in-law and charge for materials and labor. Isn't that a slap in the face? Go back and tell dad that he gave me such a good daughter. I should help with this little thing."
of."
In fact, the material cost is only more than three yuan, and the labor only takes one hour.
"Your brother just likes to talk nonsense, just ignore him."
Yu Li gave Li Weidong an angry look and pulled Yu Li into the room to whisper.
