After watching the deaf old lady go home, the second uncle breathed a sigh of relief. He couldn't afford to offend this deaf old lady. He couldn't beat or scold her, so he could only serve her carefully. The little episode just now did not affect the second uncle's good mood. He took the eldest son and went home.
When he returned home, the second uncle was in a particularly happy mood. Looking at his eldest son's smiling face, his heart was filled with satisfaction and pride. The eldest son has been striving for success since he was a child. He is a very sensible child. He graduated from middle school a few years ago and successfully entered a technical secondary school. After graduation, he became a national cadre, which made him feel extremely proud and proud.
The eldest son is not only smart, but also hard-working and always able to achieve excellent results. The second uncle often thinks that he is really lucky to have such an eldest son. In contrast, he didn't like the two younger sons, so he couldn't help but beat them twice.
As the New Year approaches, the atmosphere in the compound becomes more and more lively. Every house has hung up red lanterns and put up window grilles. Children were running around in the yard, laughing and laughing. Su Wen's home was kept clean by Wang Qianqian, and her carefully cut window grilles were pasted on the windows. The weather is getting colder and colder, and the victims who fled the famine and came to Sijiu City have been resettled by the government, waiting for the spring to send them back to their hometowns. The security in Sijiu City has improved a lot, and children have begun to play in the alleys again.
Jia Dongxu was discharged from the hospital on Xiaonian's day. Except for his pale face, he was no different from a normal person in other aspects. Su Wen even felt that Jia Dongxu seemed to have gained weight.
The food donated by the Siheyuan to the Jia family last time was almost eaten. Yi Zhonghai, who had tasted the benefits of the donation, approached Yan Bugui and wanted to organize the Siheyuan to donate food to the Jia family. The third uncle directly objected, "Old Yi, your salary is high. I don’t care, if you count how many times we have donated in the past month or so, our family will starve to death if you donate again.”
After Yi Zhonghai heard what the third uncle said, his face looked a little ugly. He frowned and said, "Old Yan, what you said is that we are all neighbors and we should help each other. Jia Dongxu was injured to protect the compound. We Shouldn’t we do something for the Jia family?”
"Lao Yi, you always said that Dongxu was injured because of the compound. Why didn't you call the police? No police came to the compound to investigate. How did he get injured? You didn't dare to call the police. Dongxu was beaten like this , don’t you want to avenge Dongxu?”
After Yi Zhonghai heard the third uncle's words, his face became a little ugly. He frowned and said: "Old Yan, what you said is that we are all neighbors. How can I lie to you? Dongxu was injured just to protect the compound. of."
"Then did you call the police? Did the police come to investigate?" asked the third uncle.
Yi Zhonghai shook his head, "Well... not really. Aren't I worried that calling the police would affect our compound's selection of outstanding courtyard houses?"
"Then how do you prove that Dongxu was injured to protect the compound?" The third uncle asked. "Lao Yi, don't do this or that. I'm sure that Jia Dongxu went to the black market to buy food and was beaten up. This is the first time we live in the same courtyard. I donated it and I don't care about you. One person in my family makes money and six people spend it. How much does it cost?" Don’t you know the difficulties, but you asked me to donate money, Yi Zhonghai, do you still want to face him?” When his own interests were involved, the third uncle’s combat effectiveness soared.
Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a moment, took out 5 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Yan Bugui's hand.
"Lao Yi, what do you mean?" Yan Bugui asked in a deep voice.
"When you donate later, you donate one yuan to the Jia family, and I'll give you the rest. Don't make any trouble."
"Lao Yi, I won't speak for you."
"I don't need your help to speak, as long as you don't cause trouble."
Yan Bugui looked at the money in his hand, was silent for a moment, then turned around and went home.
After taking care of the third uncle, Yi Zhonghai went to the backyard to find the second uncle Liu Haizhong. He must convince Liu Haizhong to support his donation plan.
In the backyard, Yi Zhonghai found Liu Haizhong. At this moment, Liu Haizhong was sitting on a chair, holding a cup of hot tea in his hand, looking at the scenery outside the window. Hearing Yi Zhonghai's footsteps, he turned around and said hello with a smile.
Yi Zhonghai walked up to Liu Haizhong and said straight to the point: "Old Liu, I have something to ask you. As you know, Jia Dongxu was injured while protecting the compound. I want to organize everyone to donate to him to help him tide over the difficulties. Are you The second uncle of our hospital, your words must have weight, can you help me persuade everyone to donate?"
Liu Haizhong was about to agree when he saw his eldest son winking at him. The bangs are clear in the center. He smiled faintly and said to Yi Zhonghai: "Lao Yi, your idea is very good, but I am busy preparing for the New Year's goods. I am very busy. I don't have time to help you. You can organize it yourself. I will call you when the time comes. I’ll just go.”
Hearing what Liu Haizhong said, Yi Zhonghai was a little disappointed, but he had no choice but to nod and say: "Old Liu, you go ahead and work on it, I'll figure it out myself."
"Lao Yi, don't be anxious. Everyone is busy with the New Year now. It's not too late to wait until after the New Year." Liu Haizhong said with a faint smile.
Watching Yi Zhonghai leave Liu Haizhong and asked: Boss, is there any problem? Jia Dongxu was indeed injured, I heard it was quite serious. "
"Dad, tell me the whole story and I'll listen."
Liu Haizhong described in detail the ins and outs of Jia Dongxu's injury and hospitalization. Looking at his eldest son, "Is there anything wrong with Guangqi?"
"Dad, did you call the police to deal with this matter?"
"Probably not. I have never seen any police come to collect evidence. If the police came, it would definitely spread in the courtyard."
"That's right, Jia Dongxu most likely wasn't injured while protecting the compound. He probably went to the black market to buy food and was robbed." Living in the same compound, they all knew each other's details.
"Damn Yi Zhonghai dared to lie to me, I'm going to settle the score with him right now."
"Forget it, Dad. We have no evidence and there is no need to break up with Yi Zhonghai. If there are any more donations in the future, our family will just stop donating. If not, just donate 10 or 20 cents for fun." Liu Guangqi stopped the angry second uncle. .
Liu Haizhong nodded after hearing this, "Guang Qi, you are right, it would not be good for our family to break up with Yi Zhonghai. He is also an eighth-level fitter in the factory, one level higher than me.
Yi Zhonghai looked a little gloomy after leaving Liu Haizhong. He understands that not everyone in this compound will listen to him, and he needs to be more careful.
He returned to his home and began to think about his next plan. He knew that the donation plan this time had been aborted, and he would have to wait until Liu Guangqi went to school in the next year to find a way. He couldn't help feeling that educated people have many discerning minds.
