Chapter 186, Responsibility

It was already past five o'clock in the afternoon when Qin Huairu arrived at the Siheyuan of Sijiu City. They would go home from get off work in less than an hour.

Not caring about the fatigue of the journey, she put down her bicycle and hurried to Jiang Yan's small yard to prepare tonight's dinner.

Ever since Qin Huairu entered the courtyard, she has taken the initiative to take over the task of cooking breakfast and dinner. Although her cooking skills are not as good as those of He Yuzhu and Liuzi, she can still make some home-cooked meals.

Before cooking, she took her brother to see her grandma.

She made egg pimple soup tonight. After Jiang Yan said the pimple soup she made was delicious last time, Qin Huairu remembered this.

In fact, the method of making pimple soup is quite simple. Just make the white flour into a sticky paste, sauté chopped green onions in the pot, then add water. After the water boils, make the prepared sticky paste into the size of a little finger and put it in the pot. Then

Just season it and add two drops of sesame oil when eating.

After staying here for so long, Qin Huairu also knows Jiang Yan's preferences. The staple food is basically coarse and fine grains, except for noodle soup and pimple soup. He only eats noodle soup and pimple soup made from white flour.

I used to make pimple soup at home. Wherever I could have the luxury of using white flour, it was basically multigrain noodles.

After the pimple soup was almost ready, Qin Huairu was busy cooking and steaming steamed buns, and her feet were not touching the floor for a while.

This time, fortunately, he had his younger brother helping him, and he finally made dinner before Zhu Zhu and the others got off work.

Of course, after Zhuzi and the others came back, Qin Huairu took him to introduce Liuzi and others.

After everyone was introduced, a group of people started to prepare dinner at the big Eight Immortals table in Jiang Yan's living room.

At the dinner table, Qin Huaian swallowed when he saw the white noodle soup in his bowl, the baskets of steamed noodle buns, and the meat and vegetable dishes on the table.

With this standard of food, the landlord in my previous village asked if he dared to eat like this!

As the grandma sitting on the main seat spoke, everyone started to move their chopsticks.

"Xiao Qin, don't be polite. It's like being at home here."

Looking at Qin Huaian who was eating carefully, Jiang Yan couldn't help but speak.

"That's right, how can a young man eat so little? Eat more."

After He Yuzhu said this, he took out a steamed bun from the basket and handed it to Qin Huaian.

Seeing the steamed buns handed over by his brother-in-law, Liu took them and started eating them.

After seeing her brother finishing the pimple soup in his bowl, Qin Huairu added another bowl to his brother.

After dinner, Jiang Yan wanted to go to the study to read for a while, but then he heard the sound of gongs ringing in the courtyard.

After a while there was a knock on the door. Shitou went to open the door to see who was coming to see him.

"After a while, Shitou came in with the third uncle Yan Bugui."

"Xiao Jiang, there is a meeting tonight. Do you want to attend tonight?"

Jiang Yan was stunned when he heard what the third uncle Yan Bugui said. If he hadn't said it, he would have almost forgotten. The meeting in the courtyard is a famous scene in TV dramas. Almost everything that happens in the courtyard is resolved in meetings. In the past few months, he has

It seems like I didn’t hear them say they were going to have a meeting!

You need to see this scene for yourself.

"Okay, Teacher Yan, I'll be there after dinner."

"You two had a quarrel." After the third uncle Yan Bugui left, Jiang Yan turned to look at Xu Damao and He Yuzhu who were eating and asked.

In the entire TV series, whenever a courtyard meeting is held, 60-70% of it is the business of Xu Damao and He Yuzhu, and the remaining 20-30% of the time is the Jia family's business.

Jiang Yan's question made the two people look confused, and they looked at each other.

He Yuzhu was a bit like a monk, and asked confused: "No! I have been in the kitchen all day, and except for seeing Damao when I was cooking, I didn't see him the rest of the time. How could I quarrel with him?"

"That's right, Zhu Zhu is right. Boss, you forgot. Today you are leading the technical department to repair the mechanical climate and record the entire process. How can you have time to quarrel with him?"

Xu Damao was still afraid that Jiang Yan wouldn't believe him, so he said again, "Zhu Zhu and I are close friends and brothers!"

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Jiang Yan's hands trembled as he picked up the vegetables.

At this moment, he was really afraid that the words "get the price" would come out of Xu Damao's mouth.

He took a bite of the food and thought about it.

"Da Mao, it's inconvenient to change occasionally."

After saying this, Jiang Yan stared at Xu Damao.

"Boss, what does this odd-even inconvenience mean?"

Xu Damao asked Jiang Yan with a puzzled look on his face.

Hearing Xu Damao's words, Jiang Yan breathed a sigh of relief, but said: "It's not interesting, let's eat! Let's go to the meeting after dinner."

"Boss, I don't want to go. It's boring. It's all trivial things."

"Oh! Has this meeting been held several times?" Jiang Yan asked curiously after hearing Xu Damao's words.

"No, we have done it several times, almost every month. Today the Zhang family and the Li family quarreled, and tomorrow the children of the Liu family and the Wang family fought again. Just these little things are so boring, and every time It's up to the three uncles to come forward to mediate the situation. Boss, do you think they are idle?"

"This is the responsibility of the three of them!"

Because the country had just been established and the Public Security Bureau was short of manpower, in order to ensure social security, we set up stewards in each yard to provide joint public defense. When we see unfamiliar faces, everyone will immediately report to the stewards nearby, and the stewards will come forward to inquire. If there is any suspicion, immediately call on everyone to detain the person first, and then send someone to report to the street or district police station.

The steward also helps the street to identify bad elements and backward elements in his own yard. With the gradual improvement of public security and the improvement of the household registration system, letters of introduction are required when traveling, so the duties of the steward have changed.

Now the main responsibility of the steward is to coordinate and handle some trivial disputes between neighbors. Who else has an emergency or life problem and needs help? How many young men and women of the right age are there in each yard to find a partner? etc. If you can solve it yourself, solve it yourself. If you can't solve it, report it to the neighborhood committee, and they will find a solution.

Seeing the puzzled looks in everyone's eyes, Jiang Yan understood a little bit. Then Jiang Yan explained the responsibilities of the three uncles to everyone in detail.

"Boss, you mean they only have the right to adjust, but not the right to deal with it, is that what you mean?"

Xu Damao was so smart that he grasped the key point immediately.

"Da Mao is right. They only have the right to adjust, not to handle. If there are matters, they can report them to the street or factory security department, or even the police station for handling."

Jiang Yan said with certainty.

In the TV series, the yard men in the TV series handle many matters beyond the scope of their responsibilities. They should report it to the street, the security department of the factory, or even the police station, but they have to suppress it and handle it themselves.

On the one hand, it is selfish desire, on the other hand, it is also the desire for power. It is to show the status of the uncle, so that he can cover the sky with one hand in the courtyard and realize his own private plans.

These actually take advantage of the ignorance and lack of knowledge of ordinary residents in the courtyard.

However, Jiang Yan didn't want to get involved in matters related to the courtyard, but he didn't want to control them either. As long as he didn't come looking for him, he would just watch with cold eyes.
