Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Yan Fugui felt envious, and his regretful expression became more intense. He continued to ask, "Where is the kid Huang Longfei in the backyard?"

The third aunt frowned and answered unwillingly: "He also worshipped Wang Dong as his master. He follows Wang Dong every day and also brings leftovers every day..."

"The leftovers Wang Dong brought back were used to support five needy families in the orchard, including Tang Dashan and Huang Longfei's families."

"Now that Huang Longfei and Tang Dashan are gone, and they don't bring us leftovers, the remaining two families can eat leftovers every other day. Their lives are better than ours."

"Old man, why don't you go talk to Wang Dong and ask him to continue bringing us leftovers..."

"You've eaten the leftovers he brought back..."

“Although there is not much meat, it is rich in oil and water.”

"Cooked with radish and cabbage, a large box of leftovers can last us two days."

Yan Fugui shook his head: "Don't even think about the leftovers..."

"Didn't you see that after the whole school meeting that night, Wang Dong stopped greeting me when he saw me?"

"Not only Wang Dong, the entire Chen family stopped greeting me."

"I, Yan Fugui, am also a person who values ​​dignity. If someone doesn't want to have anything to do with us, I can't just flatter them and beg them..."

Seeing Yan Fugui getting angry, the third aunt knew that she could forget about asking Wang Dong for a lunch box.

Then he changed the subject and continued: "Old man..."

"You had a conflict with Wang Dong because of Lao Yi, but Lao Yi just gave us 20 kilograms of flour as compensation. That's really insulting."

"Go find Lao Yi..."

"Let Lao Yi give us some more compensation, or let Lao Yi think of a way to get Wang Dong to give us some lunch boxes..."

"We are now on the same line with Lao Yi, and Lao Yi cannot ignore us."

"Besides, Lao Yi has a lot of ideas. Maybe he can really force Wang Dong to take out the leftovers."

Yan Fugui is a man who forgets his principles when he sees profit. As long as it is not illegal and he can get the leftovers that Wang Dong brings back every day, he doesn't mind going to Lao Yi again.

Anyway, in Wang Dong's view, he has already defected to Yi Zhonghai and is on the same side as Yi Zhonghai.

He immediately stood up from his chair.

…………

The home of Yi Zhonghai in the Central Courtyard.

Looking at Yan Fugui who suddenly visited, Yi Zhonghai frowned subconsciously.

The relationship between him and Yan Fugui is now very mysterious. Although Yan Fugui supported him at the last general meeting, he is completely on the opposite side of Wang Dong.

But because he was the cause of Yan Fugui no longer being able to get the leftovers that Wang Dong brought back from the steel mill, Yan Fugui had always been dissatisfied with himself and wanted him to compensate for his losses.

But Yi Zhonghai is also a money-loving person. How could he use his own salary to compensate someone who has nothing to do with him?

But in order to avoid Yan Fugui parting ways with him, he finally decided to take 20 kilograms of flour from home to compensate Yan Fugui.

Now that Yan Fugui suddenly visited, Yi Zhonghai was afraid that he was here to ask for favors from him.

He quickly asked: "Old Yan..."

"The whole courtyard meeting is about to be held... If you come to see me now, I am not afraid that the residents in the courtyard will say that the three of us are colluding and affecting our prestige in the courtyard..."

Yan Fugui said unhappily, "I can barely afford to eat, what's the point of having face?"

"Old Yi, I'm not saying you..."

"Since the last general meeting, Wang Dong has not given my family a box of leftovers." "In the past, we relied on these leftovers to exchange the money saved on vegetables and oil for corn flour, and we could barely fill our stomachs."

"Now that there are no leftovers, I have to spend several more dollars every month on vegetables and oil, so I naturally have no money left to buy corn flour..."

“Since then, I haven’t had a full stomach for several days.

"Old Yi, you are the boss of the courtyard, we can't just ignore you..."

"And this incident was caused by you, so you can't just ignore it."

Yi Zhonghai's heart skipped a beat. He didn't expect Yan Fugui to really come and ask him for compensation.

He had worked so hard to alienate the relationship between Yan Fugui and Wang Dong. Now he absolutely could not offend Yan Fugui and push him back to Wang Dong's side, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Although he was very unhappy, he still suppressed his anger and asked back: "Old Yan..."

"I admit that I have some responsibility in this matter, but you can't blame me entirely."

"After all, I also lost face at the whole college meeting."

"If you had asked about the situation, both of us would have been fine."

"But I also know your family's situation. If there are any difficulties, I, as an old man, will definitely not stand idly by."

Yan Fugui immediately responded, "Ever since Tang Dashan and Huang Longfei entered the kitchen of the steel mill, they have become Wang Dong's apprentices. They work overtime every day in the steel mill, and each of them brings home a lunch box of leftovers from the kitchen every day."

"Old Yi, you have many ideas. Can you think of a way to get the three of them to take out the leftovers and share them with everyone..."

"This way, my Yan family can also benefit from it and save some money on buying groceries and gas."

Yi Zhonghai frowned and did not respond immediately. A general meeting held before the New Year suddenly appeared in his mind.

At that time, Wang Dong had just entered the kitchen of the steel rolling mill.

At the general meeting, he proposed that Wang Dong donate money to the Jia family, but he almost got himself into trouble.

If I am not absolutely sure and rashly propose that Wang Dong distribute the leftovers he brings back every day to everyone, then given Wang Dong's character of never accepting a loss, I will definitely not get any benefit and may even lose face again at the general meeting.

Subconsciously refuse.

But when the words reached his lips, he swallowed them back.

I originally thought that Yan Fugui came to ask me for compensation, but he didn't ask me for anything. Instead, he planned to join forces with me to make a profit from the leftovers that Wang Dong brought back every day.

This is a good thing that kills two birds with one stone.

Not only does he not have to spend any money, but he can also further alienate the relationship between Yan Fugui and Wang Dong, making it completely impossible for them to repair the relationship.

So no matter how I analyzed it, I couldn't refuse Yan Fugui's request.

He racked his brains to think of a solution, and finally he came up with one.

Looking at Yan Fugui, he asked tentatively: "Is there really a way now?"

"Not only can I make use of the leftovers that Wang Dong brings back every day, but I can also make sure that everyone in the Yan family has enough to eat. I just don't know if you, Old Yan, dare to stand up and support me at the whole hospital meeting..."

Yan Fugui's eyes widened quickly, staring at Yi Zhonghai expectantly and asking, "Old Yi..."

"It's really such a good thing..."

"Not only can I get the food that Wang Dong and Tang Dashan brought back, but I can also fill Jie Cheng's stomach..."

"You didn't try to trick me, didn't you? Don't let Wang Dong mess things up again..." (End of this chapter)
