Siheyuan: Superb comprehension? All skills are perfect

"Then please remember me and let me have fun when you have the chance."

He Yuzhu was very excited. For him, it was not just fun. He also wanted to take this opportunity to obtain a new weapon. Even if he didn't have an anti-aircraft machine gun, a heavy machine gun would be fine.

"By the way, can you help me ask your friend about the bear bile? Is there any wild boar meat left from last time?"

Zhao Weiguo's move was obviously not just for a bear gall. "If we don't have wild boar meat, we can get some bear meat."

"Uncle Zhao, how much do you want to buy?"

He Yuzhu asked directly without any ambiguity.

“The more the merrier, of course.”

Zhao Weiguo smiled.

"Then I'll go talk to my friend about how much I can give."

He Yuzhu agreed and laid out the possible deficiencies in advance, "However, Uncle Zhao, if the quantity does not meet the standard, please understand that these difficult times are not easy for anyone."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't let your friends suffer any loss."

Zhao Weiguo certainly understood that "human feelings are human feelings, and matters are matters.

It's the right amount of money. If he needs anything else, just let him know. As long as it's something I can do, I will definitely help."

"Okay then, if everything goes well, I will deliver the supplies to that yard."

He Yuzhu was generous this time, "I will inform Huazi or Uncle Ma after it is completed, and I will also publicly tell you the specific needs of your friend."

"No problem, I'm satisfied."

Zhao Weiguo nodded in praise.

In this age, nothing is more valuable than food and meat.

In fact, there are ways to get non-allocated supplies of food through personal connections; meat is a truly unattainable luxury.

Now, even for top officials, the monthly ration of fresh meat is being reduced, and ordinary people can only buy canned meat to satisfy their cravings.

Although canned food is easier to buy and store in larger quantities, it is ultimately not as delicious as fresh food.

Fresh meat has become a scarce commodity, sometimes even more practical than currency.

When He Yuzhu walked out of the guard room, the change in attitude towards him was obvious, whether it was the security guard on duty or the workers who had just left their jobs.

He was able to joke and chat with the notorious security chief. Even though one could not hear the specific content of their conversation, it was clear that the two had a deep friendship.

When encountering such a person, no one would be willing to start a war easily, even if they are not afraid of offending him.

He is responsible for canteen management, and the other is in charge of safety. If both aspects are not going well, just imagine how troublesome factory life will be!

Before He Yuzhu entered the gate of No. 95 courtyard, he heard Jia Zhang's crying. People outside the gate were discussing Jia Dongxu's misfortune.

It is not uncommon to see a few people die nowadays, especially in these difficult times, when human lives are as common as dust.

Jia Dongxu was in his prime and he was the backbone of the Jia family. His sudden death was undoubtedly a huge blow to the Jia family.

Mrs. Jia Zhang may be harsh to others, but she is truly caring towards her son Jia Dongxu.

The moment He Yuzhu saw Jia Zhang, he was surprised to find that she seemed a little plumper.

Hey, other people who take care of patients in the hospital are often pitifully thin, but Jia Zhangshi is so good that the busier she is, the fatter she gets. There were quite a few people gathered in the courtyard, including three uncles, no, to be exact, two uncles and Yi Zhonghai.

"Old Liu, Old Yan, what do you think about the Jia family's affairs?"

Yi Zhonghai glanced at He Yuzhu who had just stepped into the yard and asked.

"Yi Tou'er, do you still want everyone to donate rice and money to the Jia family?"

As the second uncle, Liu Haizhong was holding his head high, with his arms behind his back, looking like a leader.

“Although I am still the second uncle, Director Wang is already in office, which means I am now the boss in Courtyard 95.

But don’t forget the old lady at the back.”

Director Yi added.

Yi Hai mentioned the donation, and Director Wang had already made his position clear. He admitted that he had made a mistake before and promised that it would not happen again. "But Brother Dongxu passed away suddenly. We lived in the same courtyard, so we should at least show some respect, right?"

However, Liu Haizhong felt a little uncomfortable, "Well, Brother Yi is right, we need to give gifts for both happy and funeral events.

But it is really unpleasant for an official like me to speak first."

"Old Liu, as the person in charge of this hospital, you will naturally have to make the decision on these arrangements."

Director Yi quickly comforted him, "Besides, this matter is purely based on everyone's willingness. We must express this clearly during the meeting."

"It's up to me to decide?"

Liu Haizhong smiled with relief after hearing this, "Okay, notify everyone to hold a general meeting later and discuss the donation matters. Whether to participate and how much to donate is up to everyone's wishes."

But he reminded: "Old Yi, you are Dongxu's master, you still have to deal with the aftermath of the Jia family.

If there is any trouble, it will be troublesome if it is sent to the street office.

It’s not easy for everyone!”

"Don't worry about that. I will explain it to the Jia family."

Director Yi nodded to assure.

"That's good."

Liu Haizhong was in a satisfied mood and smiled even more.

Everyone who received the meeting notice quickly understood the meeting objectives.

Compared with the previous fundraising activity, the response to the gift seems to be more acceptable. After all, there are birth, aging, sickness, death and happy weddings in life. We don’t see our neighbors every day. It really wouldn’t be justified not to do something to show our appreciation.

After all, no one is willing to be the first to express concern when a family encounters misfortune. So if one day your family also faces a misfortune, others may not necessarily lend a helping hand.

This principle is just like giving gifts at weddings in later generations. You help me today and I will return the favor tomorrow. It is hard to predict whether the final result will be a profit or a loss.

After finishing their meal, everyone quickly gathered in the courtyard.

This time, Liu Dahai did not dare to occupy the position and set up the table for the meeting as he did in the past. Instead, he accepted Yan Bugui's suggestion and asked everyone to sit in a circle.

"Everyone understands the significance of today's meeting,"

Liu Dahai stood up and said in a leadership manner, "We are of course saddened by Jia Dongxu's unexpected death, but it has already happened, and we can only wish Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu to mourn in moderation."

Looking at Qin Huairu and Jia Zhang who were crying there, Liu Dahai secretly felt relieved when he saw that they did not resist.

“I don’t want to say empty words.

As the second in command of this compound, I would like to set an example and give a gift of five dollars.

You don't have to follow my lead. After all, I'm a grown man. Just follow your own family's actual situation. I believe Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu won't mind the size of your intentions."

"I'll give you five bucks, too."

Yi Zhonghai followed suit and expressed his opinion.

Liu Dahai looked at those people who did not give more gifts than him, and felt a little happy in his heart.

"Everyone knows my family situation. We have many children and our salary is very low. I'll just take two dollars."

Next was Yan Bugui, the eldest brother and the third to speak out.

Although it was only two dollars, it was still a considerable expense for this shrewd calculator, but he had to take the money.

He was thinking about how to make up for the shortfall.

There were three people taking the lead, and the others followed suit, with the smallest amount being one dollar.

Don’t think that one yuan is not a lot. You have to know that in that era when the average monthly income was around 30 yuan, one yuan was equivalent to a day’s wages for a middle-aged laborer and was enough for a family of three to get through the day.

Of course, these are difficult times, food is scarce, and grain prices are extremely high, but this dollar still represents a sincere heart.

He Yuzhu did not treat this scene in any special way. He did not give more, less, or nothing, but also paid one dollar.

Ninety-five households received a total of thirty-eight dollars.

In public, Liu Dahai handed the money to Qin Huairu.

Just when he wanted to show his leadership and continue speaking, Jia Zhang on the side suddenly reached out and snatched it away, while muttering that there were only a small number of people and everyone was really stingy.

These words almost made Liu Dahai faint from anger.

The atmosphere was at a stalemate for a while, at this time, an unexpected person came out to break the deadlock.

"What about the meeting?"

The person who came was Director Wang from the street office.

"Director Wang?"

Liu Dahai was stunned for a moment, then hurriedly stepped forward to greet him with a smile, intending to take this opportunity to report his work, which might help him secure his position as the boss.

"Zhu Zi, did you ask someone to invite Director Wang?"

asked the big man who also worked in the steel mill.

"Don't talk nonsense, I was surprised myself."

He Yuzhu waved his hands and said, "How can I inform Director Wang in advance when I didn't even know about the meeting tonight? Besides, what's wrong with the gift money? I paid a portion myself."

"Look, there's a little girl next to Director Wang."

Soon, someone noticed the figure following the director.

He Yuzhu also noticed it and was wondering who that person was when Director Wang approached.

"Zhu Zi, tell me, do you want to get married?"

Director Wang’s words shocked everyone, including He Yuzhu himself.

"Oh, Director Wang is here to introduce his daughter-in-law in person?"

"No one believes that Zhuzi has nothing to do with Director Wang!"

"That's right, but that little girl is not the one assigned to Zhuzi, right?"

"If it's not her, who else could it be? The dress is obviously too big for her. Maybe her family is not well off."

"In this day and age, if you find a city worker as your son-in-law, you can still make a living!"

...

At this time, He Yuzhu no longer cared about the neighbors' comments. His eyes were involuntarily attracted by the little girl.

Obviously, the little girl was very thin, not tall, and the clothes she wore were too big for her, so her figure was not beautiful.

It's really a pity that I couldn't see his face clearly because I kept my head down after entering the room.

"Director Wang, what's going on?"

"Let's talk inside."

Director Wang smiled and then looked at Uncle Liu, "Master Liu, is the meeting over?"

"Yeah, it's over."

Uncle Liu nodded quickly. Even though he was still not satisfied, he did not dare to neglect Director Wang's matter.

"All right."

Director Wang agreed and turned to He Yuzhu: "Come in and sit down first."

"Ok."

Faced with this situation, He Yuzhu didn't know how to respond, so he waved his hand and said, "Please come this way."

"Hey, you are polite."

Director Wang patted He Yuzhu lightly, then took the little girl into the house and noticed that her sister He Yushui was looking at them curiously, "Yushui, you are here too."

"Director Wang, my brother didn't allow me to attend this community meeting and asked me to study at home."

He Yushui explained.

"Yes, yes. At your age, you should focus on studying and accumulating more knowledge so that you can better serve the country in the future."

Director Wang agreed.

"My elder brother always teaches me this."

He Yushui hurriedly spoke well of her brother.

“I love hearing that.”

Director Wang smiled and sat at the dining table, "Zhu Zi, come and make a pot of good tea. Today I am not only the director of the street office, but also a matchmaker.
