Siheyuan: Starting from 1958

Two days later at seven in the afternoon, Wang Dong, Huang Longfei and Tang Dashan had just entered the courtyard when the voice of the third uncle Yan Fugui was heard behind them.

"Dongzi... Dashan, Longfei... there will be a general meeting of the entire courtyard in the middle courtyard in half an hour. It is the request of the street, and the street will send people to participate... You must attend on time..."

As soon as Wang Dong heard it, he knew that the rumors that had been circulating in the yard for several days were about to end.

Huang Longfei and Tang Dashan didn't know the details of this, so they asked immediately: "Master..."

"Why did they call a whole-house meeting for no reason? Even the street office sent people over... Do you know what's going on?"

The whole hospital meeting was about to be held, and Wang Dong had nothing to hide, so he answered directly: "I think you have heard about the rumors that have been circulating in the courtyard these days, right?"

Huang Longfei expressed his opinion to Wang Dong after hearing this: "Master..."

"I think those rumors are just nonsense."

"Just because you are young, you can't be the boss of a courtyard house. What kind of nonsense is this?"

"You are not only an advanced worker in our steel mill, but also an eighth-level chef in the steel mill and a canteen monitor. Not to mention being a courtyard uncle, even if you are the logistics director of the steel mill, you are overqualified. I think someone is deliberately targeting you."

"As long as you run for the position of our courtyard master, I will definitely be the first to vote for you."

Tang Dashan followed up: "Master, I vote for you too..."

"I will also organize several needy families in the front yard to vote for you."

"They usually eat so many leftovers you bring back. Now it's their turn to help you. If they can't even vote for you to be the boss of the courtyard, then you are ungrateful. In the future, even if I throw away the leftovers I bring back, I will never give them to eat."

Seeing that the two disciples were getting more and more outrageous, Wang Dong immediately interrupted: "Okay..."

"I know what you are thinking. You don't have to show your loyalty to me..."

"Moreover……"

"I have no intention of running for the position of the master of our courtyard house."

"I'm so busy with the kitchen and banquets all day long that I don't have time to take care of things in the yard."

"When the time comes, just follow my lead."

…………

The central courtyard of a quadrangle.

When Wang Dong arrived here, the three uncles were already sitting in their seats.

The only difference is that there is an extra chair between them.

A young man in his twenties was sitting on a chair. Yi Zhonghai, Liu Haizhong, and Yan Fugui were all surrounding this young man and talking about something, with flattering smiles on their faces.

It goes without saying that this young man was sent by the street.

In order to stand out in tonight's election and continue to serve as the uncles of the courtyard house, the three uncles must establish good relationships with the officials sent by the street.

Otherwise, even if he is elected, he cannot be appointed as the master of a courtyard house if he fails to get the approval of the street.

"Director Huang... everyone in the yard is here. Would you like to say a few words to everyone first..." Yi Zhonghai quickly glanced at the residents in the yard, then said to the young man sitting in front of him.

Secretary Huang was already unhappy about being sent here to supervise the election, after all, it was time to get off work.

But I couldn't show it, so I could only think of a way to end this general meeting quickly so that I could go home earlier and reunite with my wife and children.

Faced with Yi Zhonghai's invitation, he stood up without any nonsense.

"Residents..."

"Our courtyard has been very busy these past few days. All kinds of rumors have spread everywhere. Even the street has received many reports, causing everyone to panic."

"In order to restore peace and unity in our four courtyards as soon as possible, the street has decided to hold a new election in our courtyard to select a new courtyard master to quell the rumors in the courtyard." "Anyone who wants to run for the position of courtyard master, please come forward and sign up..."

"You can also recommend me some Siheyuan residents to run for Siheyuan Master..."

After saying that, he sat down on the chair and took out the notebook he had prepared in advance to record the election situation.

Yi Zhonghai was the first to stand up: "Secretary Huang..."

"I have been the uncle of our Siheyuan for several years. I think I have never done anything to let everyone down, so I want to continue to run for the uncle of the Siheyuan."

Secretary Huang didn't waste any words and said directly: "Okay..."

"Master Yi is one, are there any others?"

Under the gaze of Secretary Huang, Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui stood up from their chairs and expressed their desire to run for the position of Siheyuan Master.

Especially Liu Haizhong.

Not only does he want to run for the position of Siheyuan uncle tonight, he also wants to be the eldest uncle.

If Yi Zhonghai hadn't reacted a little faster than him, he would have been the first one to stand up and sign up.

Yan Fugui was not willing to fall behind.

The reason why he was able to guard the gate of the courtyard house and take advantage of the residents was largely due to his status as the third uncle.

If I lost my status as the boss, the residents in the yard would definitely not give me face and let me take advantage of them as before.

So he had to choose the master of the courtyard house today no matter what.

After Liu Haizhong signed up, he turned his attention to Wang Dong.

Seeing that Wang Dong was still sitting in the chair motionless after Yan Fugui registered, he instantly became anxious.

If Wang Dong didn't run for election, how could he continue to fight with Yi Zhonghai, and he would not have the opportunity to reap the benefits.

He stood up again and said, "Secretary Huang..."

"I think the master of the courtyard house can't just take the elderly..."

"Half of our courtyards are young people, so young people should run for the position of uncle, and everyone should manage the courtyard together, so that the residents in the courtyard can be convinced."

As soon as Secretary Huang heard this, he knew that something unexpected had happened in the election.

The street decided to re-elect the Siheyuan uncle because of the rumors that Wang Dong was more suitable to be the Siheyuan uncle than Yi Zhonghai, and Liu Haizhong wanted to replace Yi Zhonghai as the eldest uncle...

It would be strange if nothing unexpected happened in this election.

What Secretary Huang didn't expect was that the person who suggested letting young people run for the position of Siheyuan uncle was actually Liu Haizhong.

Before, many people on the street thought that the rumors in the courtyard were spread by Wang Dong.

After all, the ultimate beneficiary of Wang Dong replacing Yi Zhonghai as the boss of the courtyard house is himself.

Secretary Huang also thought so, and was ready for Wang Dong to take the initiative to run for the position of Siheyuan's master.

I just glanced at Wang Dong a few times.

As a result, he had no intention of standing up to run for the courtyard master, sat on the chair without any reaction, and showed no concern for the upcoming uncle election.

Liu Haizhong's words made Secretary Huang realize that the matter of re-electing the master of the Siheyuan was far from as simple as he had imagined.

If Wang Dong really intended to replace Yi Zhonghai as the boss of the courtyard house, he would definitely have stepped forward just now, but he had no intention of signing up.

This means that the rumors in the courtyard were probably not spread by him. (End of this chapter)
