The Barefoot Doctor in the Siheyuan Chapter 387 Yi Zhonghai’s Thoughts
A call from abroad?
Li Donglai was stunned as he held the bowl. In later generations, he had a few foreign friends who often made international long distance calls. Compared with domestic calls, the phone numbers were just different and the charges were higher.
However, in this day and age, receiving phone calls from abroad is not a good thing.
The joy on Ding Qiunan's face, who was feeding Wei Dong and Wei Guo, was replaced by sadness. She turned her head to look at Li Donglai and asked, "Brother Donglai, do you have relatives abroad?"
Before Li Donglai could answer, Li Xiaomei stood up and spoke for him: "Sister-in-law, our family is poor for three generations. The whole family has never even left the province before. How can we have relatives overseas?"
"But, there are obviously calls from overseas. This is a very serious matter." Ding Qiunan said softly.
Ordinary people who have connections overseas are subject to thorough scrutiny. Li Donglai's current position is becoming more and more sensitive. Once others catch him, his future may be ruined.
Li Donglai knew that Ding Qiunan was caring about him, and smiled at her: "Don't worry, you won't do anything bad, and you won't be afraid of ghosts knocking on your door. Don't worry, take good care of Wei Dong and Wei Guo at home."
"Yeah!" Ding Qiunan nodded heavily, looked at Wei Dong and Wei Guo who were screaming, and whispered to them: "You heard it, your father said it's okay, it will definitely be okay."
Wei Dong and Wei Guo didn't know if they understood. They stood up with their hands on the rocking chairs, clapped their hands and shouted "baba,baba,baba" incomprehensibly.
After standing for less than two seconds, his calves softened and he sat down again, letting out a giggle.
Li Donglai glanced at them with relief, stood up, put on some clothes and walked out of the house.
The person standing outside was wearing a white nurse uniform. Li Donglai recognized her. She was Cheng Xuejie, a nurse at the Steel Rolling Mill Hospital.
"Nurse Cheng, do you know where the call came from?"
Nurse Cheng shook her head: "I don't know. The call came to the duty room. The person on the other side said it very poorly. The dean just heard your name and asked me to call you."
Dean Jiao is also in the duty room, no wonder.
"Let's go to the hospital."
Li Donglai pushed his bicycle towards the outside of the hospital, and within two steps, he met Yan Bugui.
Yan Bugui seemed to have heard the sound and came out with a steamed bun in his hand. He walked to Li Donglai and whispered: "Donglai, don't worry, no matter what happens, I will support you! Although I
He is a teacher, but he is a third-generation poor man with good roots and is not afraid of them."
"Thank you, Mr. Third, it's okay. I'll be back as soon as I go." Li Donglai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he was also a little moved in his heart.
At this time, when others were avoiding him, it was very rare for Yan Bugui to stand up.
Cheng Xuejie was also riding a bicycle when she arrived. Li Donglai left the courtyard, got on his bicycle, and ran to the rolling mill hospital.
What Li Donglai didn't know was that after he left, there was another minor disturbance in the courtyard.
Cheng Xuejie was young and didn't know the importance. When she called Li Donglai, she shouted at the top of her lungs because she was anxious.
Therefore, it alarmed many people in the courtyard.
The first one to bear the brunt is the Jia family.
The Jia family's dinner today was stick noodle porridge with pickled radish strips as a side dish. When she heard the shouting, Jia Zhang immediately put down her kuaizi and ran to the door.
She glanced outside to make sure she heard correctly, then turned to look at Qin Huairu: "Daughter-in-law, did you hear that? Li Donglai received a call from abroad."
Qin Huairu took advantage of Mrs. Jia Zhang to leave the dining table and picked up a few more pickled radish strips. Now she put them in her mouth, unable to chew them, and her cheeks were bulging.
"What happened to the foreign electric power law?"
Jia Zhang said coldly: "You really have no consciousness at all. Didn't you listen to what the second uncle said in the courtyard all day?"
A book-chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend I’ve known for ten years! It’s so easy to use. I use it to read and listen to books while driving and before going to bed. You can download it here]
Qin Huairu frowned and thought for a moment, suddenly realized, and stood up: "You mean, Li Donglai has overseas connections?"
Jia Zhang clapped her hands excitedly: "Yes, this is a very serious matter. Li Donglai is going to be in bad luck this time. Oh, I see, not only will he not be able to become a director this time, he will also have to be criticized. When the time comes,
I will definitely spit on his face so hard."
Thinking of the miserable situation of Li Donglai being punished, Jia Zhang could not help but laugh happily.
Originally, the Jia family lived a very happy life in the courtyard.
Although Qin Huairu's salary was not much, he was able to suck blood. Not only did he "get" a lot of good things from the surrounding residents, but he also firmly controlled Silly Zhu in his hands.
However, since Li Donglai came, everything has changed. The residents began to wake up and leave. They realized that the Jia family was pretending to be pitiful, but when in fact they were living a better life than them, it was useless for Qin Huairu to pretend to be pitiful.
What's more serious is that Li Donglai actually introduced Yu Juhua to Shazhu. Ever since Shazhu met Yu Juhua, he has been tightly controlled, and Qin Huairu has never taken advantage of him.
Also, the two times Jia and Zhang squatted on the fence were more or less related to Li Donglai. Today, Li Donglai even dragged her to the gate to read a letter of apology.
Ever since she was a child, Jia Zhang has never been so embarrassed.
Qin Huairu's expression was a little cold. Although she also hated Li Donglai in her heart, it was different from Jia Zhang's hatred.
She hated Li Donglai for not rushing to her house, beating her up and taking her back to Lao Li's house when she left Jiajiazhuang.
That way, Ding Qiunan's position is now hers, and she doesn't have to suffer so much in the Jia family.
Hate is indeed hate, but there is no thought of killing Li Donglai.
When Jia Zhang saw that Qin Huairu was not as excited as she expected and did not scold Li Donglai, she was in a bad mood at the time and scolded her fiercely: "You little bitch, are you still thinking about Li Donglai?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mom, what are you thinking! Can Li Donglai like me now?" Qin Huairu was not in the mood to eat, so she stood up and quickly put away the bowl.
Mrs. Jia Zhang sneered and said: "It's good that you know this. You will be a member of the Jia family in this life, and you will be buried in the grave of the Jia family when you die."
Yi Zhonghaijia.
Yi Zhonghai has not been seen in the courtyard for a while recently. Even the fight between the Jia family and the He family was so big that the whole courtyard was gone, and he stayed at home and did not go out.
Why? Because it's embarrassing! Since he lost his position as a senior official, and the scandal with Qin Huairu has been making a fuss, Yi Zhonghai felt that the eyes of the surrounding residents looking at him were less awe and more contempt.
That look made him feel uncomfortable. Instead of going out and being humiliated by others, it would be better for him to hide at home and lick his wounds silently.
After learning that Li Donglai had received a call from abroad, Yi Zhonghai felt that his opportunity had come again. After dinner, he began to rummage through boxes and cabinets to find clothes.
"Old lady, where is my woolen tunic?"
"It's in the cabinet on the left. Hey, old man, you're so old and immoral, what are you doing looking for those clothes?" A aunt came in with a ladle of noodles.
Yi Zhonghai took out the woolen tunic from the cabinet, rubbed the soft fabric, and flicked the pockets of the tunic with his fingers. There was a glint in his eyes and he said, "Old man, long time no see."
He carefully put on his Chinese tunic suit, took out a pair of leather shoes from under the bed, brushed them with a shoe brush until they were shiny, and was about to go out.
The aunt felt that something was wrong, so she quickly put down the ladle and pulled Yi Zhonghai: "Old man, are you okay today?"
"Is everything okay? Haha, it's a great thing! Li Donglai is about to step down, and I, Yi Zhonghai, have finally waited for the day when I can turn around."
After saying that, Yi Zhonghai strode out of the house. He disliked the aunt as a housewife and did not bother to discuss these issues with her.
Yi Zhonghai left the house, turned around and walked into Liu Haizhong's house.
Once Li Dong fails to come back, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will be the only two stewards in the courtyard.
Yan Bugui is Li Donglai's best friend and will definitely stand by Li Donglai's side.
If you want to become a great man again, you have to get Liu Haizhong's support.
Liu Haizhong had just finished spanking the child at this time, and was happily drinking a small glass of wine and a mouthful of peanuts. He was really enjoying himself.
Yi Zhonghai entered the room, sat opposite Liu Haizhong, and said with a smile: "Old Liu, are you drinking?"
When Liu Haizhong saw Yi Zhonghai, he knew that this old guy had evil intentions.
He had also heard about the call Li Donglai received from abroad just now, but he was not as excited as Yi Zhonghai.
Li Donglai had gone through so many storms and waves, how could he capsize his boat in the gutter?
Besides, from Li Donglai's work as a barefoot doctor, to becoming a director, to entering Kyungseong University, his files must have been reviewed countless times, and the details have been verified countless times. If he really has overseas relations, he will wait until
It just happened today?
Liu Haizhong picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. He said "tsk tsk" twice, looked at Yi Zhonghai and asked, "Lao Yi, you are a rare guest."
"What a rare visitor. I am a commoner now and I have no shame to come to your second uncle's door." Yi Zhonghai took out a cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
He rarely smoked, and would only light one when he was emotional. Liu Haizhong had known him for decades and was aware of his habit.
Liu Haizhong said: "Lao Yi, the situation of the matter is still unclear. I advise you to wait at home. That kid Li Donglai is a lot of trouble."
Yi Zhonghai smoked a cigarette, glanced sideways at his bangs, and said coldly: "It's really not easy to mess with. I became the first uncle, so I directly handed over the matters in the compound to the third uncle Yan Bugui, leaving you alone as the second uncle.
, I won’t discuss anything with you, and you still have to applaud from the side, right?”
Hearing this, Liu Haizhong suddenly felt bad, and he no longer even thought about drinking.
After Li Donglai became the first uncle, he often fawned over Li Donglai. He would always nod and bow when he saw Li Donglai.
Originally, I thought that since Li Donglai was busy with the steel rolling mill and laboratory, he, the second uncle, could control the courtyard and live a happy life as an official.
Who would have thought that all the benefits would fall on Yanbu Gui?
Liu Haizhong said coldly: "If you have anything to do, just tell me. We have known each other for decades, and you don't need to hold it against me."
Yi Zhonghai put out his cigarette butt on the table, put his arms on the table, and said slowly: "Old Liu, I want you to hold a general meeting of the hospital tomorrow and re-elect me as the first president."
Yi Zhonghai knew very well that based on the dirty things he had done, even if Li Donglai stepped down, the neighborhood office would not support him as a boss.
Therefore, we must act quickly before the subdistrict office organizes the election.
Although Yi Zhonghai's reputation has been ruined, he still has some residual power. In addition, if the deaf old lady is brought out, the residents will definitely vote for him.
Liu Haizhong frowned when he heard this: "Lao Yi, did you take the wrong medicine or something? With all the bad things you did, you still want to be a great man again, just dream!"
Yi Zhonghai was not angry. He smiled and said: "Don't worry about this. Li Donglai is not in the courtyard now. You are the second uncle and you are more expensive in Gaoyanbu. You are qualified to hold an election meeting. You just need to gather all the residents in the old Zhangshu
That's it, I'll take care of the rest."
Convening a meeting is the right of the steward. Liu Haizhong is now the biggest steward in the courtyard, so it is not difficult for him.
Even if the sub-district office blamed him, he could still excuse it by saying he was worried that Li Dong would not be able to come back and that the man in charge of the courtyard would continue to maintain order.
I believe that the street office will not pursue further investigations.
but.
Liu Haizhong poured a glass of wine and said with a smile: "Lao Yi, tell me why I do this?"
Yan Bugui took the wine glass from his hand, drank it in one gulp, stood up under his surprised gaze, and said with a smile: "Because, I am not running for the first uncle this time, but for the second uncle, why don't you just
Have you become the master of our compound?"
After saying that, he left Liu's house without looking at Liu Haizhong again, with his hands behind his back.
Liu Haizhong was a little moved when he heard his words.
His biggest dream has always been to become an official, but because his education is relatively low, only a high school education, it is impossible to become the second uncle in the steel rolling mill.
He can only focus on the courtyard, but no one in the courtyard treats him as a steward.
When Yi Zhonghai was a senior official, he could only speak two sentences at the beginning of the conference. He was not even as good as Yan Bugui, who could at least beat the gong!
When Li Donglai became the master of the courtyard, he would not speak up at every meeting. He would not even have a chance to show up, and he would be just like an ordinary resident.
This made Liu Haizhong very unhappy and he could only beat the child to vent his anger.
This time is a good opportunity. As long as he succeeds, he can be promoted to a great master.
Anyway, when the time comes, even if Li Donglai comes back successfully and is held accountable, Yi Zhonghai will be the one to shoulder the responsibility. He just responded to the call of the masses and held a general meeting.
After making up his mind, Liu Haizhong asked the second aunt to take out the enamel basin in the room.
The second aunt hid in the room and heard the conversation outside, and said worriedly: "Old Liu, why don't you think about it again? If Li Donglai finds out about this, people will not want to see you in the future."
Liu Haizhong said coldly: "You know what? If I miss this opportunity, I will never be a great man in my life. Come on, take out the enamel plate. You go knock on the enamel basin and inform the residents to have a meeting under the old camphor tree."
