Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

After hearing Wang Dong’s suggestion, several poor families who wanted to work came out to support him.

They had all eaten the leftovers that Wang Dong brought back before, and Wang Dong’s proposal just now was the most beneficial to them.

Even if you don't get a job, you can still get five dollars a month from those who get a job.

Although I can only get a little over one dollar each time, it lasts for a long time.

A little over one dollar a month is thirteen or fourteen dollars a year. A little bit adds up and in six years it would be seventy or eighty dollars.

Whether they get a job or not, they are the ultimate beneficiaries.

Those residents who do not have the temporary use of apprenticeship quotas also agree with this idea.

No one wants to monopolize this job, but if the person who gets the apprenticeship quota will gradually take out 360 yuan to help the needy families in the yard in the following work, everyone will feel balanced.

More importantly, after using the 360 ​​yuan to help other poor households in the courtyard, Yi Zhonghai no longer had any reason to convene a meeting of the entire courtyard to organize everyone to donate to a certain person.

The third uncle Yan Fugui subconsciously wanted to stand up and oppose.

If we vote for the needy families in the hospital, I would definitely not get the apprenticeship spot, and I would not even be eligible to get the five dollars. So I would have come to the general meeting tonight in vain, and not only would I lose both the wife and the army, but I would also have offended Wang Dong, the big money sponsor.

When the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

Because he found that most of the residents in the yard agreed with Wang Dong's proposal. If he stood up to refute it, he would definitely be treated with hostility by the residents in the yard.

Yi Zhonghai is the most frustrated person in the yard.

I provided the apprenticeship quota myself, so everyone should thank me and myself.

As a result, after Wang Dong proposed the method of allocating apprenticeship quotas, everyone rushed to express their gratitude to Wang Dong and support his proposal, as if the apprenticeship quotas were proposed by Wang Dong himself.

Although I was the one who proposed the apprenticeship quota, no one paid any attention to me.

The more he thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and in the end he was so angry that he almost vomited blood.

But Yi Zhonghai didn't think about it. If Wang Dong hadn't forced him to give up his apprenticeship quota at the general meeting, no one in the yard would benefit.

If Wang Dong had not proposed this distribution plan, only one of the four courtyards would benefit, and the others would not even get a sip.

Now those who eat meat eat meat, and those who drink soup drink soup, no one is left out, and of course everyone is grateful to Wang Dong.

Ten minutes later, the voting ended and the apprenticeship quota that Yi Zhonghai had given out went to the Huang family in the backyard.

The young man who got the apprenticeship quota is called Huang Longfei. He is older than Wang Dong. Both his parents have passed away. He has grandparents and a younger sister who is still in school. None of them have jobs, and his grandfather is a patient. His situation is similar to that of the Tang family.

After learning that he had obtained a quota for an apprenticeship at the steel mill, he was very excited and rushed to Wang Dong and was about to kneel down: "Wang Dong..."

"Thank you……"

"If it weren't for your suggestion just now, I might never find a formal job in my life, and my grandparents would die of hunger..."

"It is you who gave our family hope of survival again. I will definitely repay you in the future..."

How could Wang Dong, a young man, let a Japanese soldier who was older than him kneel down in front of him? He quickly stopped him and said, "What are you doing..."

"A man's knees are made of gold..."

"Since you have become an apprentice at the steel mill, you should work hard and strive to be a regular employee as soon as possible, so that your grandparents can live a good life sooner, and your parents can rest assured knowing this...

"In addition, the apprenticeship quota in your hand was given by the uncle, so the person you should thank the most should be the uncle..." "If nothing unexpected happens, you should also take the uncle as your master and learn locksmithing from him..."

Yi Zhonghai was so angry that his face turned red. He snorted coldly and said, "I am old now and I still have to do some fine processing of parts. I don't have time to take an apprentice. You should find someone else..."

After saying that, he turned around and walked home, without even giving the other person a chance to speak.

Huang Longfei was embarrassed and didn't know whether to chase after her. He was also confused about his future job in the steel mill.

If you work in a steel mill as an apprentice without a master to guide you, it is very likely that you will not be able to get a permanent job for one or two years. You will work as a porter in the workshop every day, and there will be no one to teach you if you want to learn skills.

Wang Dong saw Huang Longfei's worry and stepped forward decisively: "Brother Huang..."

"if you are willing to……"

"After you start work tomorrow, you can come to the canteen to work in the kitchen and learn cooking skills from me with Brother Tang. Although the salary in the kitchen is not as good as that in the workshop, as long as you get the chef certificate, you can still get a high salary and support your family."

"But working in the kitchen is definitely harder than working in the workshop, and if you tell others about it, it won't sound as good as working in the workshop..."

Huang Longfei nodded to Wang Dong without hesitation: "I do..."

"As long as you don't mind, Wang Dong, I am willing to be your apprentice, learn cooking from you, and become a chef in the future..."

…………

"Crash..."

The porcelain bowl on the table was smashed directly into the corner by Yi Zhonghai and turned into a pile of fragments.

After smashing the bowl, Yi Zhonghai seemed to be still angry and reached out to take the plate on the table, but was stopped by an old lady.

"Old Yi, what are you doing?"

Yi Zhonghai, who didn't get the plate, clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table in front of him, then cursed: "I'm so angry..."

"The carefully planned general meeting not only did not hurt Wang Dong in the slightest, but it also made us lose face, losing both the wife and the army."

"Could it be that Wang Dong is really my Yi Zhonghai's nemesis?"

"You didn't see his face just now."

"It was clearly me, an old man, who provided the apprenticeship quotas to everyone, but the residents in the courtyard were blind and all went to thank Wang Dong. No one came to thank me..."

The aunt frowned and comforted: "No matter what..."

"It is impossible for the relationship between Old Yan and Wang Dong to return to the way it was before..."

"There are only a few poor households in the yard who are on good terms with Wang Dong. As long as Old Yan stops standing on his side, those few poor households won't be able to cause any big trouble."

"Lao Yi..."

"Don't get so angry that you get sick. After all, you are the boss of the yard and a senior fitter in our steel mill. Sooner or later, you will find a chance to deal with him."

When Yan Fugui was mentioned, the anger on Yi Zhonghai's face subsided a lot, but he soon showed a worried expression.

Today, he tricked Yan Fugui into plotting against Wang Dong. Although it caused the two families to break up, Yan Fugui did not gain any benefits at the general meeting. He even failed to get the apprenticeship position he had been dreaming of. He must be full of resentment towards himself.

I must find a way to appease him as soon as possible, so that I can unite the three uncles in the yard to deal with Wang Dong together. (End of this chapter)
