Siheyuan: Since 1962

Chapter 70: Hostage
"Alright, alright. Zhuzi, do you think you can talk about the leader's affairs? Lou Xiao'e, sit down too. Xu Damao can't come, so you should also tell everyone."

Yi Zhonghai came out at the right time to smooth things over, and then continued, "Every year before the New Year, our courtyard has to hold several general meetings. It's a rule in our courtyard to hold meetings for important matters. This year, the difficult days are over, and everyone's life has improved a lot. The evaluation of the street office has also come out, and our courtyard is still an advanced courtyard. Our three uncles received the reward yesterday. It's still the same as before. After the meeting, everyone came to the third uncle to get things. This time the street office gave each household three taels of meat coupons, so everyone can have more money during the New Year."

Before Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, the people in the yard had already started clapping and some were cheering happily.

In previous years, the advanced workers were given meat coupons for one or two taels of meat. Unexpectedly, this year they were given two taels more. This is a great thing. It seems that the hard days are really over.

Even though it's just a small amount of meat, everyone still treasures it.

In the first half of the year, the monthly quota for each person was only three taels of meat coupons. It was only in these few months that the quota reached seven taels. These three taels of meat coupons are not a small amount at all.

Liu Haizhong stood up at this time, put his hands behind his back, and imitated the factory leader. He said to everyone: "Ahem, everyone is happy to receive this reward. Next year, under the leadership of our three uncles, everyone must not relax and must continue to work hard."

"it is good!"

"Yes, keep working hard for the meat ticket!"

Mixed responses rang out among the crowd.

Now that the benefits are in hand, everyone is willing to give Liu Haizhong this face.

Listening to these voices, Liu Haizhong nodded with satisfaction and sat down again.

"What the second uncle said is right. Next year, we must continue to work hard to unite with our neighbors, help each other, respect the elderly and love the young. A lot of things happened in the courtyard this year. It is natural that there will be conflicts among everyone in the same courtyard. Some things may make people feel uncomfortable. The advanced courtyard does not belong to the three of us uncles, nor to a certain person in the courtyard. It is the honor of all of us. Whoever destroys this honor will make things difficult for everyone. I hope everyone will not make mistakes for some trivial matters. The New Year is coming soon. The New Year brings new atmosphere. The past is over. After the New Year, everyone will still be good neighbors. Let's keep working hard next year."

As Yi Zhonghai spoke, his eyes kept scanning the people in the yard, and finally fell on Zhou Weimin.

It seemed that he was speaking to everyone in the hospital, but in fact he was speaking to Zhou Weimin.

If he doesn't abide by the rules of the courtyard, he will be the enemy of everyone in the courtyard, and there will be no room for him and his sister in this courtyard in the future.

Zhou Weimin smiled slightly, suddenly began to applaud, and said loudly to everyone: "Good! Master Yi is right. If anyone ruins the reputation of our courtyard, we will never let him go!"

Isn't it to protect the reputation of the people in the hospital? That would be great.

However, Yi Zhonghai has been somewhat idle these days, and he wanted everyone to celebrate the New Year happily, but now it seems that is not possible, so let's just show our strengths!

The other people in the courtyard had no idea what Zhou Weimin was thinking. Following his lead, everyone followed suit and shouted.

For a while, it was so lively.

After everyone quieted down, Yan Bugui stood up with a smile.

"Uncle, uncle, I've said everything I need to say, so I'll talk about other things. The New Year is coming soon, and I'll keep it the same as always. I'll provide the ink, and you'll provide the paper, and I'll write Spring Festival couplets for you. Just give me some hard-earned money, and when the meeting is over, you can come to my room to find me."

Every Chinese New Year, Yan Bugui could make a lot of money with his beautiful calligraphy. Naturally, he would bring it up at the whole institute meeting this time.

Everyone in the yard was happy to let Yan Bugui write Spring Festival couplets.

After all, the New Year cannot be without Spring Festival couplets, and it would be cheaper to have Yan Bugui write them than outside. "Okay, we have finished talking about everything, let's all go. Zhuzi, Huairu, come here."

Yi Zhonghai clapped his hands, then turned and walked into the central courtyard.

The people in the courtyard couldn't wait to gather in front of Yan Bugui, waiting to receive their meat tickets.

Zhou Weimin and the other two stood at the outside of the crowd, and Lou Xiao'e standing nearby showed no intention of moving forward.

"Brother, why did Yi Zhonghai call Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu over? Is he really trying to bring them together?"

Guard Zhou was bored, so he went up to his eldest brother and started muttering to himself.

"Hasn't he already done what he wanted to do? As for what he said, the most he said was that they would celebrate the New Year together."

Zhou Weimin smiled and shook his head as he looked at Jia Zhang, who had just received the meat ticket and was walking towards the central courtyard with a smile on her face.

Yi Zhonghai really spared no effort in tying Sha Zhu and Qin Huairu together, and he would not even let go of this whole hospital meeting.

This Jia Zhang was also different from the impression he had. Although she also threw tantrums, each time she did so it always brought benefits to the Jia family.

Like this time, Yi Zhonghai called Qin Huairu and He Yuzhu away alone, but she was not angry at all. It was obvious that she knew that going there would be good for her family this time.

When Guard Zhou heard what his elder brother said, he understood what he meant after just a moment of thinking. He smiled slightly and adjusted his glasses.

No wonder his elder brother didn't let him get involved in the affairs of the yard before. If he had known about these things earlier, he would probably have stopped focusing on his studies.

At night, Zhou Weimin had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door.

He stood up and opened the door, and frowned when he saw the person coming.

"Silly Zhu, it's so late, why don't you go to bed and come here to knock on my door?"

Seeing that he had no intention of letting him in, He Yuzhu hesitated for a moment and asked in a low voice: "I want to save up a bicycle for Yushui. Who did you ask to save up that bicycle?"

"Oh, Shazhu, you are so funny. You don't even realize what time it is now. Even if you find someone, what good will it do? Can you still buy parts? Don't make trouble for no reason. I don't have time to deal with you."

Zhou Weimin sneered. He didn't know what was wrong with this idiot Zhu. He knocked on the door in the middle of the night just to fool him.

"Do you think I want to come to you? It's the old lady's idea. She said that you should eat the New Year's Eve dinner with us this year. I don't want you to lose face. I want to go into the house and tell you, are you satisfied now?"

He Yuzhu didn't want to have New Year's Eve dinner with Zhou Weimin in the first place, so he stopped pretending.

If Yi Zhonghai and the deaf old lady hadn't advised him to ease the relationship with Zhou Weimin, he would not have come.

Zhou Weimin looked He Yuzhu up and down and said with a strange look on his face, "Tsk tsk, you're one of them?"
