Under the night, in the cold wind, the adults in the courtyard gathered in the middle courtyard, looking for a place to hide from the cold wind. Only three uncles, clinging to the last stubbornness, sat in the middle of the courtyard, huddled in a ball.
There is still the same table in front of me, but in the past few years, the marks on the table have become more intense, and the slats on the tabletop have cracks.
The three uncles each sat on one side of the table. On the table in the middle was a one-foot-square red box with three characters written on it, "Love Box." It looked like it was made by Yan Fugui.
Everyone waited for a while, and the second uncle, Liu Haizhong, looked around, counted them carefully, and then stood up.
"Ahem! Are you all here?"
"Except for the old lady, Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e are not here."
Silly Zhu sat next to Qin Huairu and spoke with anger.
Yang Xiaotao is really not a human being.
Everyone knows Yang Xiaotao's situation with his bangs and chirping, but Lou Xiao'e?
"Lou Xiao'e hasn't come back!"
Someone said, Liu Haizhong can't do anything, but there are two missing local rich people. How much money can these people get?
Mrs. Jia Zhang's hair has turned gray, and her face has lost its former arrogance. Without her son, she would not be able to straighten up in this courtyard.
Without their son, their family has an old and young child, and there is still a child in the belly. In the future, they may have to take care of a semi-disabled one. How will they live in the future?
Jia Zhang's eyes were empty, and it wasn't until she heard that Yang Xiaotao hadn't come that her heart began to fluctuate.
It was a wave of anger, jealousy and fear, and his face was instantly ferocious.
Qin Huairu hugged Xiaodang with her arms around her, her expression dull and extremely desolate.
The two children are also extremely quiet.
Today they went to see their father who was not home. Looking at the person lying on the hospital bed, the two children were so frightened that they cried.
The older Banggeng knew even more clearly that from now on, his father would never be able to hold him again.
Qin Huairu tightened her grip on her trembling child. When she heard the comments around her, Yang Xiaotao and Lou Xiao'e didn't come, and the goal she expected in her heart was instantly reduced by half.
The entire courtyard was divided into the Chen family and Yan Jiecheng. There were still twenty-two households, but most of them were similar to the Jia family and didn't have much money.
But there are also many rich people, and the polarization in this hospital is very obvious.
But now, the two richest people are not here.
Not to mention the deaf old lady in the backyard.
well!
Sighing in his heart, Qin Huairu knew better that from now on, the only one who could help them was the family of the First Master.
However, they knew exactly what the first master had planned. Now that Jia Dongxu is dying, how can anyone provide for the first master and them in their old age?
Is it possible to count on awesome memes?
If he just gives up and doesn't care, then they, orphans and widowers, will really have no way to survive.
Qin Huairu looked at Yi Zhonghai in front of him, calculating in his mind. Then he glanced at Silly Zhu beside him.
This guy is not bad either.
Liu Haizhong glanced at Yi Zhonghai. This guy seemed to be sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, but he must have been cursing in his heart.
Uh-huh…
Liu Haizhong cleared his throat, "Everyone, let me tell you the theme of our meeting today."
"In the past two days, Jia Dongxu in our hospital had an accident. After being treated by the hospital, he is still in a critical stage. So, in line with the principle of support from all directions when one party is in trouble, love each other and neighbors, the three of us
The uncle discussed it and decided to carry forward his style and organize everyone to donate love..."
Liu Haizhong said, until the people around him became impatient, then he stopped talking, "Now, let the third uncle do some mobilization for everyone."
After saying that, he sat down after finishing his official duties.
Yan Fugui didn't stand up, just sat there, "Everyone understands, I won't say much."
"In a word, be kind to others and do good to yourself. Even if the blessings have not yet arrived, the disasters are far away!"
"Everyone has a steelyard in his heart, and he knows how heavy his conscience is."
After Yan Fugui finished speaking, he finally looked at Yi Zhonghai.
Yi Zhonghai nodded, stood up, and looked around.
"Young and old gentlemen, we live in the same compound and have been friends for at least ten years."
"In the past few years, no matter what happens in the courtyard, no one is in trouble. Anyone who can help can help. Don't end up getting old and there is no one to help."
“Don’t make it difficult for future generations!”
After saying this, the people around him were obviously moved.
These days, especially people in the countryside, take white things very seriously.
When some people grow old and their descendants hold funerals, they can see what kind of person they were in life.
If many people come forward to help, the scene will be lively, and future generations will be able to do things easily, which further shows that this person was a good person in life.
If only a few members of the family were working, the scene would be deserted, and there would be no one to help, it would probably be embarrassing even for future generations.
As it is in the countryside, it is also the same in the city.
When the time comes, there won’t even be anyone to show off, and that would be a big shame.
Seeing that everyone had listened, Yi Zhonghai looked at the Jia family and happened to meet Qin Huairu's eyes, and they understood each other tacitly.
Qin Huairu stood up slowly while holding the stick, her face was sad, and she knelt on the ground with her legs bent.
"Here are my aunts, uncles, brothers and sisters!"
"This disaster has happened to my family. I didn't want to cause trouble to everyone, let alone be the villain who deducted money."
Qin Huairu's voice was low, and Jia Zhang on the side also wiped her eyes after hearing this.
When Silly Zhu saw it, he was about to pull Qin Huairu, "Sister Qin, get up quickly. How can you bear the cold on the ground with your body like this?"
Unexpectedly, Qin Huairu did not agree at all.
"But Dongxu is right there, waiting to use money to do something. I, my family, want to keep him alive!"
"He has never seen an unborn child!"
"Please, everyone, help us!"
As he spoke, tears fell from his eyes. Silhu felt sour in his heart, and many ladies around him also bowed their heads and couldn't bear it.
"Three uncles and fellow villagers, on behalf of my family, thank you!"
After saying that, he stretched out his hand and bowed his head to the three uncles in front of him.
Qin Huairu's bow was beyond everyone's expectations.
Yan Fugui screamed when he saw it and quickly got up to hide.
Liu Haizhong was a little slow to react and received a salute, but Yi Zhonghai sat there with peace of mind and did not hide away.
"Thank you everyone!"
Qin Huairu moved her legs and feet to get ready to buckle again. The aunt quickly came over and pulled her up. Silly Zhu on the other side also helped her, so she didn't continue.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Seeing that Qin Huairu aroused everyone's sympathy, Jia Zhang took the opportunity to say, "God, why don't you open your eyes!"
"My poor Dongxu, he's still lying in bed and can't get up. How can we get two hundred yuan..."
"My son, who will feed us who have left us orphans and widows?"
Mrs. Jia Zhang was crying and howling, which made people panic when listening to her in this cold dark night.
"That's how it is."
Yi Zhonghai didn't let Jia Zhang say anything, and immediately took out a cloth bag from his arms, "As the first master, I will take the lead."
"Here's fifty dollars."
Saying that, he threw it into the box.
When the people around him heard this, they suddenly took a breath of cold air.
"Master, you are so heroic."
Silly Zhu shouted loudly and was the first to applaud.
bang bang bang bang
People around him applauded one after another.
Whether it was out of selfishness or morality, everyone had to admire Yi Zhonghai when he took out fifty yuan.
After hearing this, Qin Huairu wiped some tears, bowed and shouted.
"Thank you, sir."
"Our family will definitely remember this kindness."
Yi Zhonghai waved and sat down, putting his hands in his sleeves and saying nothing.
Then, everyone turned their attention to Liu Haizhong.
"Ahem, Jia Dongxu is currently undergoing surgery, hospitalization, and medical expenses. He needs money urgently."
"But please make a donation. I still say the same thing, do what you can and do what you can."
Qin Huairu looked calm below, and Jia Zhang almost stood up and yelled after hearing this.
But the faces of the people around him brightened when they heard this, and they all felt that the second uncle had finally spoken in human terms.
Qin Huairu was not looking at Liu Haizhong. Although Jia Dongxu was pitiful, there must be something hateful about a poor person.
I started working with him on heating stoves, and that's how I got into a lot of trouble later on.
This donation, if he hadn't been the second uncle, even a dollar would have been too much for him.
"I'll donate twenty!"
Liu Haizhong gritted his teeth and then stuffed them into the box one by one.
Jia Zhang still wanted to curse, but she stopped when she heard Liu Haizhong say twenty.
Then, there was another round of applause.
And this applause is louder than just now,
Then, without any further delay, the third uncle, Yan Fugui, took out a pile of money from his pants pocket. It looked like a lot of money, but it was only ten cents. "I'll donate two yuan."
After that, put it in in a decent manner.
The people around me were even happier.
Jia Zhang's eyes almost bulged out, and Qin Huairu felt even colder.
The first man made a good start, but was ruined by two old immortals.
As expected, the person in this courtyard who can really be relied upon is the elder.
The others breathed a sigh of relief. They originally thought that without Yang Xiaotao, who was such a troublemaker, he would be bleeding heavily.
But I forgot that there is still a third uncle.
"Third uncle, just give me two yuan. This is so unkind."
Silly Zhu stood up and shouted, but there was nothing he could do.
After all, the situation in the third uncle's family is just like that. It was always like this when donating money in the past. It happened so many times that I didn't bother to say more.
Silly Zhu stood up and looked at the people around him, "Brother Jia usually hangs out in this courtyard. He doesn't look up when he looks down. A living person suffers this crime. Not to mention they all know each other, but they don't know each other. When they encounter this
We have to help if we can."
He walked to the box and said, "I don't earn much, so I will donate twenty."
"But Sister Qin, if you need any help in the future, please let me know and I, Silly Zhu, will definitely help."
After Silly Zhu finished speaking, Qin Huairu stood up immediately and said, "Thank you, brother Zhu Zhu."
"Don't be polite, don't be polite."
As he said this, Shazhu looked at everyone, looking proud.
Little did he know, the bangs behind him were staring with a crooked nose.
He, the second uncle, only donated 20 yuan. Why do you, a cook, come out to steal the limelight? You don't earn much?
He is a fool and has no expression.
After Si Zhu said this, everyone else didn't care about this guy. They all knew that this guy was not very smart and everyone had their own plans.
So, the remaining ten or so families put their 80-cent pieces into the box one by one. Silly Zhu looked at the side and frowned, feeling panic in his heart, wishing that each one could take more.
Finally, everyone donated. Silly Zhu glanced at it and said, "Yan Jiecheng, what about you? You are the only one left!"
Yan Jiecheng was stunned, "Si Zhu, my father~"
"What's wrong with you, dad? You're already married, and you still want to rest on your laurels."
"I~"
"You and I are all married, so hurry up!"
Yan Jiecheng looked around, but no one spoke for him. Even his father, Yan Fugui, avoided looking.
Yan Jiecheng had no choice but to see Yu Li next to him, so he could only take out fifty cents from his pocket, walked to Silly Zhu, coldly snorted and stuffed it into the box, "That's enough."
"mean!"
Silly Zhuba chirped, but said no more.
Finally, everyone dispersed, and Yan Fugui and Liu Haizhong came to Jia's house with the box.
In front of Qin Huairu, Yi Zhonghai and the others began to count the funds raised.
Finally, Yan Fugui recorded clearly, "The total is 106 yuan and 50 cents."
A stack of money was placed on the table. Liu Haizhong thought it was okay and left the room.
Yan Fugui followed, and in the end only Yi Zhonghai and Silly Zhu were left.
"Bah! A bunch of stingy people, there are so many people, they can't even get together twenty yuan, they are really heartless."
"How much money did the guy surnamed Wang and others in several workshops earn from following Yang Xiaotao? They were given one dollar this time. They are really stingier than the third uncle!"
Silly Zhu did not hide his words and his voice was not quiet. Yan Fugui, who had just left the house, tightened his collar again.
After Sha Zhu finished speaking, he looked at Qin Huairu with a sad look on his face.
Thinking about the salary he had just received, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sister Qin, I, I still have ten dollars here. You can use it first."
"Zhuzi, you gave us all the wages you just paid, and it's only the beginning of the month..."
Qin Huairu said and reached out to push. Jia Zhang behind her frowned and glanced back and forth at Shazhu and Qin Huairu.
There was a feeling of worry in my heart.
"It's okay, Sister Qin. It's the Chinese New Year soon. I'll make a living by picking up two jobs."
Silly Zhu was cheerful. Yi Zhonghai on the side narrowed his eyes and said, "Huai Ru, Zhu Zhu can eat enough for himself and the whole family will not be hungry. You can use it first, and then return it when you have it!"
After Qin Huairu heard this, Jia Zhang behind her pushed it with her hand and reached out to take it.
"Then, sister, I'll pay you back if I have it!"
hey-hey
"talk about it later."
Silly Zhu giggled, and Jia Zhang became even more wary.
