Siheyuan: Relieve stress and relieve worries

Chapter 772 Hospital General Meeting
Since returning home, Yan Bugui has been exhausted both physically and mentally from a day's work. He was half leaning on the bed listlessly, staring at the ceiling in a daze.

Yang Ruihua, who was recuperating in the bedroom, looked at her husband helplessly. "How many times has this happened? He suffers so much loss every time. Not only does he get nothing, but he always ends up with bruises all over his body. I've advised him so many times, but Yan Bugui just won't listen."

Yang Ruihua sighed, looked at the baby in the cradle, and finally smiled.

"Mom, mom, there's no cooking at home. I'm hungry." Yan Jiecheng's voice came from the main room.

When Yan Bugui heard this, he became furious. "Eat, eat, you only know how to eat. If you want to eat, go make it yourself." Yan Bugui's roaring voice came from the bedroom.

Even the baby in the bed was awakened by the fright. Yang Ruihua quickly said, "Why are you shouting? Can't you see there are children? Boss, the food is all hot on the stove. You can take it out and eat it yourself."

Yan Bugui stood up and walked out, saying as he walked, "Let them eat by themselves. There is nothing left. I wonder if the family has lost income and needs to save some. I'll go get it for them."

Yan Bugui knew that he was a little too angry, but he was still worried that the boss would waste food, so he quickly put on his shoes and went out.

Yang Ruihua quickly shouted, "Boss, don't forget that there is a hospital-wide meeting today."

"Got it! You two, who told you to bring all that out? Don't move yet. I'll share it among you. It's fair. Our family needs to be frugal from now on. Don't you know that your father's salary has been reduced?" The voice of Yan Bugui teaching Yan Jiecheng a lesson came from the main room.

It was getting dark. He Yushui came to Wang Zhan's house for dinner tonight. They had made an appointment after school. During the dinner, He Yushui told him that their school was going to hold a general meeting. Wang Zhan looked at Wang Li and thought that since there was nothing to do after dinner, they might as well go and watch the fun.

After dinner, Wang Zhan took Wang Li and followed He Yushui to their yard, but they went there secretly. While everyone was eating, Wang Zhan took Wang Li and slipped into He Yushui's room.

Wang Zhan didn't want to meet this group of people, he just came to watch the fun. It happened that the whole court meeting was held in the Central Court today. How would Wang Zhan know that the square table and two official hat chairs were set up? Wang Zhan sneered, thinking that a big shot like a manager was putting on such a big show.

The three of them hid in He Yushui's room, took out soda and peanuts and sunflower seeds, and waited there while chatting.

After a while, two children were seen running from the backyard to notify every household. He Yushui pointed at the older one and introduced him as the eldest child of Liu Haizhong, the second uncle in the backyard, and the one behind him was the second child.

At this time, the residents came out one after another, gathering in groups of three or five to chat and smoke, waiting for the uncles to appear. Yan Bugui also came with their eldest son, and sat among the neighbors in the front yard, expressionless, smoking continuously.

After a few minutes, Yi Zhonghai sat on the stool on his left holding his teacup, but Liu Haizhong still did not come out. After a few more minutes, some people below became impatient and waited.

"Boss Liu, quickly call your dad. People in a yard are waiting for him in this hot weather. They think they are big officials. Why are they acting so arrogant?" Sha Zhu's impatient voice came out.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard two coughs, and then he saw Liu Haizhong slowly coming over with a teacup and sitting steadily on the stool on the right. Yi Zhonghai glanced at him and felt dissatisfied. A whole hospital meeting was waiting for you alone.

Liu Haizhong still looked confused. He cleared his throat and said, "Is everyone here? Is there anyone who hasn't arrived yet?"

Sha Zhu chuckled and said, "Are you here yet? If you don't come, we'll be gone." The people below burst into laughter.

"Shazhu, how can you talk to your leader like that?" Liu Haizhong looked at Shazhu angrily.

"You, you claim to be a leader? You're just a small official, why are you putting on airs?" Sha Zhu said disdainfully.

"Shazhu, we're in a meeting, why are you talking to your uncle? Be quiet." Yi Zhonghai shouted, because Yi Zhonghai really couldn't stand it anymore.

Liu Haizhong ignored Sha Zhu and spoke directly, "I and the uncle decided to hold this meeting today. I have something important to say. The situation is very good now. In our compound, we should help each other, respect the old and love the young, and that, that."

Liu Haizhong suddenly got stuck and everyone burst into laughter. Liu Haizhong quickly continued with his words. He also knew that no one could listen after he started talking, so he began to talk about the news he had just heard on the radio. He said a few words here and there and everyone was confused. In the end, no one understood why this conference was held.

At this time, Yi Zhonghai couldn't listen any more, so he gave Sha Zhu a look. Sha Zhu understood what he meant and shouted, "Second uncle, you've been talking so confusingly for a long time, and you haven't explained why we're having a meeting. Aren't you wasting everyone's time? Stop it now, or let the first uncle come."

Liu Haizhong's face flushed red all of a sudden. He had to maintain his image in front of the whole hospital, so he glared at Sha Zhu fiercely and said, "Let the details be handed over to the uncle. Let's welcome him with applause."

Sha Zhu took the lead in clapping loudly, and everyone followed suit. Yi Zhonghai took a sip of tea and cleared his throat. Before speaking, he glanced at Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui's heart skipped a beat and he realized that today's incident must be related to him.

Yi Zhonghai motioned for everyone to be quiet for a moment, and after everyone quieted down, Yi Zhonghai said: "Everyone knows that since our courtyard manager took office, he has been committed to the unity in the courtyard, letting everyone help each other, hoping that everyone respects the elderly and loves the young, and has made a lot of efforts to build a civilized courtyard and maintain a sanitary environment. I also thank every household in the courtyard for their cooperation. Therefore, in the past two years, we have won the title of advanced courtyard twice in a row. In order to commend us, the street office also distributed additional benefits to each household at the end of the year. Although the things are not much, it is also a thought and an honor."

Yi Zhonghai looked around and knew that the residents were listening carefully, so he took a sip of tea and continued, "However, just a few days ago, because a resident of our yard made a mistake, the street office has officially notified me that we will not be able to get the title of advanced compound this year, and we will not have the benefits at the end of this year. I got the news, so I held this meeting to inform everyone and listen to everyone's opinions."

As soon as Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, there was an uproar in the crowd. This meant that their year-end benefits were gone. Although there were not many things, everyone was still in poverty. They would get some sesame oil and pork before the New Year. Although the amount was not large, it could at least allow the family to have an extra dish. Now that it was cancelled, many people were unhappy.

Yan Bugui, who was sitting below, already understood what was going on. He was sweating profusely and now he wanted to run away. He also hated Yi Zhonghai a little in his heart. He seemed to be preparing to put him on the fire.
