The long-awaited hospital-wide meeting was successfully held once again. The first uncle's mood was relatively stable, but the second uncle and the third uncle seemed a little excited.
If they don't hold a conference, Liu Haizhong and Yan Bugui will think that no one in the courtyard will recognize them anymore.
In the main courtyard, all the neighbors sit in rows. In the past, there would be a table in the middle of the courtyard. Since Ye Haoran gave him a blow, in order to show that they have equal status, the table has also been removed, and the three uncles each sit on a bench in the middle.
Xu Damao and Silly Zhu in the front row stared at each other, refusing to give in to the other.
"Okay, everyone, be quiet for a moment. Now the hospital meeting begins. Let me say a few words first."
Liu Haizhong wanted Yi Zhonghai to say a few words first, but Yi Zhonghai winked and said he didn't want to say anything and just sat there like a mascot.
The high-spirited bangs stood up impatiently.
"Today we have a hospital-wide meeting. One of the topics is that one of Xu Damao's chickens was stolen. There happened to be a chicken stewed on someone's stove. Maybe it's a coincidence, maybe it's not a coincidence."
As soon as the conversation changed, Liu Haizhong asked Silly Zhu: "Silly Zhu, let me ask you, did your chickens steal from Xu Damao's family?"
In fact, Sha Zhu knew who stole Xu Damao's chicken. Before leaving get off work, he saw Bang Jie going to the factory kitchen to steal soy sauce. On the way to get off work, he also saw Bang Jie and two little girls eating beggar's chicken.
But because of the Qin sisters, Shazhu didn't say it right away.
Hearing Liu Haizhong ask himself this, Shazhu directly denied it: "I'm not a thief, how can I steal it."
"Then where did the chicken in your pot come from?"
Seeing Si Zhu's denial, Xu Damao directly intervened and asked.
Silly Zhu glanced sideways and said, "Of course I bought it."
Liu Haizhong: "Where did you buy it?"
Silly Zhu: “I bought it from the vegetable market!”
"Which wet market is it? Dongdan Wet Market or Chaoyang Wet Market?" Yan Bugui's eyes were shining brightly, and the three of them took turns bombarding Silly Zhu.
Silly Zhu didn't think twice and said subconsciously: "Chaoyang Vegetable Market."
"Oh!" Yan Bugui smiled and analyzed directly: "That's not right. It takes forty minutes by bus from our place to Chaoyang Vegetable Market. Not counting the time you spend buying and slaughtering chickens. You When did you get off work?"
After Yan Bugui's analysis, everyone saw that Shazhu was not talking about what he said.
Silly Zhu himself didn’t know how to explain it.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment, and Liu Haizhong seemed to see an opportunity. Helping Xu Damao retrieve the chicken was not the most important thing, but the most important thing was to restore his prestige in the courtyard.
He immediately spoke: "Let me tell you, there is another possibility. This chicken may not be from Xu Damao's family."
Speaking of this, Xu Damao was dumbfounded. He could tell that Sha Zhu was lying. How could the second uncle be biased towards Sha Zhu?
Just when everyone was confused, Liu Haizhong changed his voice and continued: "Everyone knows that Silly Zhu is the cook in the canteen of our steel rolling mill. Maybe, he brought this chicken back from the canteen."
"Hey, hey, you can't say this nonsense. Stealing a chicken from him is fine, but stealing a chicken from the factory is not a meeting here."
As soon as Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Shazhu became anxious, but no matter how much he tried to defend himself, it was useless. Many neighbors began to point fingers at him, not because of anything else, but because everyone then remembered that Shazhu had a criminal record.
"Silly Zhu, let me ask you, you come back from get off work every day with a mesh bag in your hand. There is a lunch box in the mesh bag. What is in the lunch box?"
After Liu Haizhong finished speaking, Yan Bugui began to chase and beat Silly Zhu.
In just two sentences, Silly Zhu was already cornered.
The uncle suddenly spoke: "Okay, don't talk about anything else. What's happening in the factory is the factory's business, and what's happening in the courtyard is the courtyard's business. The more serious business is to find Xu Damao's chickens first."
The main topic was pulled back by the first master, and everyone thought he was helping Xu Damao. Only some people knew that the first master was protecting Silly Zhu.
The good relationship between Silly Zhu and the first master's family has not been a day or two. Before Liu Haizhong's use of excuses worked, he was blocked by the first master halfway.
The old man winked at Silly Zhu and asked, "Silly Zhu, I'll give you another chance. Did you steal Xu Damao's chicken?"
Silly Zhu hesitated.
Xu Damao's chickens were indeed not stolen by him, but if he didn't admit it, then he couldn't explain his chickens clearly, and he was instantly in a dilemma.
The best way now is to admit that he stole Xu Damao's chicken, so that the lie can be rounded off.
"It's me..."
Silly Zhu was about to admit it when suddenly a voice interrupted Silly Zhu's speech.
"etc!"
Qin Huairu suddenly spoke up and attracted everyone's attention. Even Sha Zhu, who was about to admit it, looked over.
Qin Huairu picked up Banggeng and said, "Banggeng, you can speak for yourself."
Banggeng lowered his head and looked around. He didn't dare to speak in front of so many people. He quietly looked back at Qin Huairu. Qin Huairu scolded: "What are you looking at? It's useless to look at me. You can do it yourself." explain."
Banggeng's eyes were filled with tears, which made Mrs. Jia Zhang very distressed, but Mrs. Jia Zhang was pinched to death by Qin Huairu and dared not speak, so she could only watch.
After coming here for a long time, Banggeng said submissively: "I'm sorry, I stole the chicken..."
"What???"
"ah??"
"real or fake!!!"
Many people were surprised.
Not only Xu Damao, but also Sha Zhu was shocked.
Silly Zhu originally wanted to admit it himself, so that the chicken stewed on his stove could have an explanation, but now he was stabbed in the back by Qin Huairu!
Under Qin Huairu's gaze, Banggeng came to Xu Damao and bowed to apologize: "Uncle Damao, I'm sorry, I stole the chicken."
After Banggeng apologized, Qin Huairu stood up and said loudly in front of everyone: "It's my fault that the child was not educated well. I will do whatever I want. I will pay for the chickens in Xu Damao's family. I have already asked what to do with the child." It’s up to you, Section Chief Ye, so don’t bother everyone.”
He walked up to Xu Damao and asked: "Xu Damao, tell me, how much does your chicken cost?"
Neither Xu Damao nor Shazhu expected Qin Huairu to be so honest.
"Five... ten dollars!"
Xu Damao wanted to say five yuan, but after thinking about it he felt it was a little less, so he immediately changed his mind to ten yuan.
Qin Huairu took out three yuan from his pocket and handed it over and said, "The chickens in the market only cost one yuan each. You really dare to ask for it. I'll give you three yuan to make it even. Don't be ignorant."
As the saying goes, no desire leads to strength. Qin Huairu really doesn't ask for anything from other people now. She has a job and a salary, and Ye Haoran is taking care of her. She and her sister still make money together. They don't need help from others at all, and even press Considering the conditions, her family still has good food in the courtyard.
Xu Damao was shocked by Qin Huairu's tough temperament and subconsciously took the money in his hand.
When the first man saw Xu Damao accepting the money, he said directly: "Okay, since the chicken has been found and the compensation has been paid, let's leave the meeting!"
After saying that, he stood up to leave. Many neighbors got up as well, thinking that the matter was over.
Everyone, including Silly Zhu, breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, Ye Haoran, who was leaning against the doorpost of the hall, suddenly said: "Wait!"
As soon as these two words came out, many people's hearts skipped a beat.
Banggeng subconsciously got behind Qin Huairu.
Ye Haoran walked through the crowd, walked to the middle of the yard and asked with a smile: "Is it over now? What's going on with no beginning and no end?"
The first uncle secretly thought that it was not good, and the expressions of the second uncle and the third uncle were also a little distorted.
Xu Damao became a spectator instead.
"Chief Ye, is there anything else you want to add?"
"Yes, of course."
Ye Haoran held a cigarette in his mouth and pointed at the stick hiding behind Qin Huairu and said: "If you make a mistake, you cannot go unpunished. This is only the second thing. Silly Zhu's chicken hasn't explained it yet. Use me as the steel rolling mill to protect Keke." Are you going to be a fool?"
As soon as Ye Haoran spoke, everyone sat back to their original positions.
Every time there is a general meeting of the hospital, as soon as Ye Haoran shows up, there is always something good to watch.
"Silly Zhu, tell me where the chicken came from."
"I...I bought it!"
Silly Zhu wanted to quibble, but under Ye Haoran's smiling eyes, he couldn't be happy no matter what.
On the contrary, Xu Damao on the side laughed out loud.
"Silly Zhu, you can just bring back some. Now that supplies are so tight, you still dare to take chickens. You don't think I can't investigate, do you?"
Is there anything else to investigate? Just adjust Shazhu's off-duty time and whether the factory is doing chicken or not, and you will know immediately. There is no use in trying to quibble.
Being asked by Ye Haoran made his scalp feel numb. Silly Zhu sat there speechless and did not dare to move.
Just when everyone was watching the good show, Ye Haoran suddenly changed the subject and targeted the elder Yi Zhonghai.
"My uncle is unfair in his dealings. He favors stupid people and replaces work with favors. He is not suitable for mediating the relationship between neighbors. From now on, the mediator's job should be left to others. You should work hard and live a good life, and think less about those things you have and don't have." .”
No matter who it was, they never expected that this fire could burn Yi Zhonghai's head and even burn him bald.
Grandpa Yi Zhonghai opened his mouth, but without uttering the last word, he turned around and walked towards his home.
Yi Zhonghai was dismissed, and Liu Haizhong became excited.
Ye Haoran ignored him, but looked at Shazhu and continued: "Why did you take it out from the factory? Just send it back to me like this, and take it with you to the detention room. Then come out with a five-hundred-word confession of error. By the way, Bring BangGeng with you too."
When Banggeng heard this, he was so frightened that he held on to Qin Huairu and did not dare to let go.
Although he is young, he is still a child who has gone to school. He knows that being arrested is definitely not a good thing. He has also heard that people who are imprisoned do not have enough to eat and are beaten.
I was so scared that I almost cried.
"Mom! Mom! I won't go, please save me!"
Banggeng was really frightened. He didn't think much of Ye Haoran in the past, but when Ye Haoran became the dominant one, Banggeng was still scared and even used his honorific title to Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu pulled Banggeng's arm in front of her and said seriously: "How do you want me to save you? Kneel down or whatever. You should bear the consequences for your own mistakes. You are a man, so just It should be like this."
"Oh my grandson!"
Upon hearing that Bangge was about to be taken away, Jia Zhang ran over crying and wanted to stop him.
Ye Haoran's eyes were evil and he said: "Obstructing law enforcement, believe it or not, I will arrest you too. Don't rely on me and act like you are old. In the past, I didn't have the same knowledge as you because of Sister Qin's face, so don't push yourself too far."
'ga'
Jia Zhang's face, which was still crying just now, turned back in an instant.
"Mom! Grandma!"
Banggeng helplessly asked for help from his two relatives, and Jia Zhang didn't even dare to fart.
Qin Huairu knelt down and faced Banggeng and said seriously: "It's useless for you to tell me, and it's even more useless for you to hide behind me. You decide what to do yourself."
Banggan looked at Qin Huairu for a while, then turned to look at Ye Haoran.
After a long time, he mustered up the courage to walk up to Ye Haoran and whispered: "Uncle Ye, I was wrong."
"What's wrong?"
"You shouldn't steal."
"Do you still dare to do it in the future?"
"I don't dare anymore!"
This was the first time Banggian called Ye Haoran uncle, and his attitude was very good.
However, Ye Haoran never thought about getting close to Banggeng or anything. He just cooperated with Qin Huairu to let Banggeng change his ways.
He is a ruthless tool man. If it weren't for Qin Huairu, he wouldn't be too lazy to get involved.
"Okay, I'll give you a chance to go back and write a 500-word confession. As long as you listen to your mother in the future and your mother is willing to forgive you, I won't arrest you. Go back."
It was originally a hospital-wide meeting for the three masters to return to the public's attention, but it turned out that Ye Haoran occupied the main stage.
Silly Zhu took the chicken and left. Not only did he want to return the chicken to the kitchen of the steel rolling mill, but he also had to stay in the detention room for one night. The heating was cut off now, and a cold would be a minor injury after staying there for one night.
The old man folded, and this time he was completely ruined.
Ye Haoran didn't have to do this, but he just wanted to take revenge on Yi Zhonghai.
He had always remembered Yi Zhonghai's use of Ye Haoran, but Yi Zhonghai was cautious and never made any mistakes, and Ye Haoran didn't catch his pigtails.
If it falls into my hands this time, I will suffer the same consequences.
The crowd gradually dispersed and went back to their homes. As soon as Liu Haizhong, who lived in the backyard, walked through the small door, Xu Damao caught up with him.
"Hey, second uncle, I really want to thank you today."
"What the second uncle, I am the first uncle now!"
Liu Haizhong looked arrogant, Xu Damao held his stinky feet and smiled and said: "Yes, yes, you are a great master now. Without you, I really wouldn't be able to deal with Silly Zhu."
"Of course, you don't even look at who I am!"
The two of them were the most excited tonight. Xu Damao got three dollars back after speaking out, Yi Zhonghai was dismissed, and Liu Haizhong was automatically promoted to the first uncle.
This is the first time he has been in charge.
While he was getting excited, Xu Damao poured a basin of cold water over him.
"You have to be careful, lest someone named Ye raps you down one day."
"How dare he! What does he do? Can he control me?"
Liu Haizhong shouted anxiously, but his voice was a little weak.
Xu Damao chuckled and arrived at the door of his house. He turned around and went home without saying anything.
Liu Haizhong also returned home with a constipated look on his face.
...
The next day, Shazhu, who had finished writing the 500-word confession book, finally returned to the courtyard. He stayed up all night and fell asleep when he returned home.
Fortunately, I asked for leave from the factory in advance, otherwise my wages would be deducted again.
He was not detained once or twice. He was an old acquaintance of Si Zhu in the detention room of the factory.
Ye Haoran had a busy day and had just taken some time off after dealing with all the messy things when he suddenly received news from his boss.
I was arranged to go to a certain place for construction work, but I didn’t show my face and left in a hurry.
This result has long been expected by Ye Haoran. Although the boss was not involved, he would be feared by others in this position.
After get off work, Ye Haoran immediately ran to find Team Wang.
"Captain Wang, nothing happened to the boss. He should be on the train now. I estimate that I will be back in a while."
"Did the boss leave alone? Alas~!"
The purpose of telling Team Wang this news was to reassure him. Unexpectedly, Team Wang was still worried about the boss. It seemed that Team Wang had already regarded the boss as a relative.
"The boss is so old, and I don't know if he can withstand the torment. What if there is something wrong with him?"
Ye Haoran smiled and said: "Brother Wang, what are you worried about? Do you think there is no one around the boss?"
Isn't the boss an ordinary person? If he doesn't do anything on the surface, it means that the boss has arranged everything and there is no need for others to worry.
Ye Haoran's words immediately woke up Captain Wang, and this time Captain Wang was completely relieved.
"Brother Wang, having said that, you can't leave, you still have to help me take care of the moths."
"Hey, don't worry. Mozhu is doing well here. He gets along well with your sister-in-law. If nothing happens, he always goes home to chat with your sister-in-law."
The boss is gone. If Captain Wang is not here either, Ye Haoran is really worried about leaving Lou Xiaoe here alone.
"Okay, let's go take a look at your moth. I keep nagging you when nothing happens."
After leaving Team Wang's office, Ye Haoran went straight to the archives room where Lou Xiao'e was.
The archives room has almost become Lou Xiao'e's territory. No one comes here at ordinary times. If you want to work, you can work for a while, mainly organizing and classifying. If you don't want to be busy, just find a place^_^ No one cares about listening to the radio.
The reason why Lou Xiao'e was able to stay here safely was because she finally understood Ye Haoran's good intentions and the real reason why her parents left.
I deal with these documents every day. The more I come into contact with them, the more I will understand.
Just when Ye Haoran went to visit Lou Xiao'e, an unexpected guest came to the courtyard.
...
"Hello! Is Bangge's parent at home?"
"Hey, here you are...?"
"Oh, I'm Bangge's class teacher, and my surname is Ran."
"Oh, it's Teacher Ran, hello, hello."
Qin Huairu had just come back from get off work. When she heard that she was a great class teacher, she quickly and enthusiastically invited Ran Qiuye into the room.
As soon as Ran Qiuye sat down, Qin Huairu came over with a cup of hot water and asked: "Teacher Ran, what are you doing here this time?"
"Well, the situation is like this. This semester has started for several weeks, and Bangge's tuition has not been paid yet. I came over to see if there is anything special at home."
Ran Qiuye spoke tactfully, but Qin Huairu raised his eyebrows.
Because of work, Qin Huairu had already asked Jia Zhang to go to school to pay the tuition. Now that the teacher came to find out the situation, it meant that the tuition had not been paid at all.
He couldn't help but turn his head and glance at Jia Zhang on the kang.
Jia Zhang, who had been paying attention to the situation outside, immediately shrank her neck when Qin Huairu looked over.
Seeing this, Qin Huairu didn't understand what was going on. It must be Jia Zhang who found the money.
He turned to Teacher Ran and apologized: "I'm sorry, Teacher Ran. I was too busy at work and forgot about it for a while. How about this? How much money will I give you now? It's too troublesome for you."
"It's okay, no trouble, as long as we don't have any trouble at home."
The two of them politely gave in, and then Qin Huairu handed over the two yuan tuition fee to Ran Qiuye.
"Since there's nothing else, I'll take my leave first."
After receiving the tuition fee, Ran Qiuye stood up and prepared to leave, but Qin Huairu enthusiastically wanted to send Ran Qiuye away.
While walking out, they were chatting: "Bangge, this child is still very smart, but his attention is not on studying. As teachers, we can only take care of it at school. We parents should also take care of it at home. .”
"You are right, thank you for your hard work, Teacher Ran."
No matter what Ran Qiuye said, Qin Huairu always agreed.
The two of them, talking and laughing, walked through the hall and headed outside the courtyard.
I happened to meet Shazhu who was coming back from using the toilet after waking up.
When Silly Zhu looked at Ran Qiuye, his eyes widened.
Standing in the hall, staring blankly at Ran Qiuye's back, until Qin Huairu, who came back after seeing Ran Qiuye leave, came over. Silly Zhu quickly stopped and asked: "Hey, Sister Qin, who was that just now?"
"You mean Teacher Ran? What, you like him?"
Silly Zhu simply ignored Qin Huairu's stabbing him in the back yesterday, licked his face and opened his mouth to ask.
"That's a great teacher. If you have any ideas, just ask them yourself. Why are you trying to stop me?"
After saying that, Qin Huairu walked home. Ye Haoran would be back soon. She had to be busy cooking, so she had no time to chat with Silly Zhu.
Back in the room, Qin Huairu stared at Jia Zhang and asked, "Mom, let me ask you, where is Bangge's tuition?"
"Ask me, how could I know?"
Jia Zhang simply acted rogue.
You didn't need to ask to know what was going on. Qin Huairu snorted and said, "Since you didn't pay the tuition, just pay me back."
"No! I spent it!"
Two yuan is just enough for one month's worth of medicine.
Seeing Jia Zhang acting rogue confidently, Qin Huairu laughed angrily: "Okay, since you are like this, don't blame me. If you can take a penny from me in the future, I will consider you a great person."
Qin Huairu had had enough for a long time, and now that Jia Zhang had given the excuse herself, there was no reason not to continue.
After seeing Ran Qiuye, Silly Zhu's mind moved, and he rolled his eyes not knowing what he was thinking.
After a long time, I suddenly remembered that Yan Bugui was also a teacher in a factory-run school, and an idea suddenly came to me.
Speaking of Cao Cao, when Cao Cao arrived, Yan Bugui came back from get off work pushing the bicycle he had saved. Sha Zhu who was standing in the hall happened to see him and quickly greeted him with a smile.
"Huh? Silly Zhu, what do you want to do?"
Yan Bugui looked at Silhu defensively. He didn't know what this fool meant. He thought he wanted to take revenge on him for exposing the origin of his chick yesterday.
Silly Zhu walked over and said with a smile: "Third uncle, no, it's the second uncle. Let me ask you something, is there a teacher Ran in your school?"
Yan Bugui was stunned and asked, "How did you know?"
"Hey, I saw you just now. Is Teacher Ran single? Can you please introduce me to him? Don't worry, I won't let you work in vain. I have prepared everything for you."
After listening to Silly Zhu's words, Yan Bugui smiled: "Just you? Can Teacher Ran like you like this?"
"What's wrong with me? Don't look down on me. I'm also a chef after all. My working-class salary is thirty-seven and a half yuan, which is no higher than yours."
Yan Bugui smiled and shook his head. He didn't care about Silly Zhu's arrogance and said, "Teacher Ran is a top student, and his parents are overseas Chinese teachers in middle school. Thirty-seven and five dollars is nothing."
When Silly Zhu heard this, his eyes brightened even more.
At first, he liked Qin Huairu because Qin Huairu was good-looking, and later he fell in love with Qin Jingru. However, Qin Jingru had a rural household registration, so he looked down on her. Later, Qin Jingru also went to work, and when he liked her, they ignored him at all.
Now Teacher Ran's various conditions make Shazhu like him. After listening to Yan Bugui's words, he is even more excited.
"Third uncle, no, second uncle, please take the trouble, I like educated people, and I will never bring you something that will make your work in vain. I will bring it to you in the evening, okay?"
Yan Bugui was about to refuse. His relationship with Ran Qiuye was not very good, and he was severely retaliated by Ye Haoran for gossiping before.
But then I thought about it, Yan Bugui suddenly introduced Ran Qiuye to Shazhu, it would be good, and it would make Ye Haoran disgusted.
So he immediately agreed: "Okay, seeing as you are so sincere, I will help you mention it."
Being able to disgust Ye Haoran while accepting gifts at the same time, Yan Bugui, who was used to taking advantage, was instantly moved.

ps: Here is a 6,500-word chapter.
