Siheyuan: God rewards hard work and makes life better

"Now that our neighbors are in trouble, I hope everyone can show solidarity and friendship and contribute their love."

"This way, if someone else has difficulties in the future, others will not sit idly by."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present changed their expressions.

Isn't this obviously asking everyone to donate money? There are already many poor families in the compound, and they can't come up with any money at all.

But the Sun family was indeed in trouble, and not helping them would seem unethical, so many people were caught in a dilemma.

Yan Fugui reacted the most strongly. He said he had no idea why the meeting was held, and it turned out that they were trying to collect donations.

Although he sympathized with the Sun family's plight, he was extremely reluctant to let him take the money.

I hurriedly asked, "Lao Yi, how much medical expenses does Da Hu's family need? If the gap is too big, won't our number of people be enough?"

Yi Zhonghai said calmly: "The family still needs 30 yuan for medical expenses, and they may need nutritional supplements later. I hope everyone can do their best to help."

"Of course, this donation is not mandatory. It's up to you to donate more or less!"

Many people present breathed a sigh of relief, it would be much easier if it were all done with their heart.

At this time, Sun Dahu stood up and bowed to everyone with his brother.

"My grandma is old now, and I can't bear to see her suffer. I beg everyone to lend a helping hand. I will always remember your kindness."

Everyone was touched after hearing this and secretly wondered how much money they would like to pay.

Only Jia Zhang curled her lips and muttered that it was okay for the Sun family's old woman to be lame, why should she ask our Jia family to donate money.

Fortunately, she is not stupid, and this thought is just buried deep in her heart.

Seeing that the time was right, Yi Zhonghai said, "Let's not waste any more time. Let's finish the work early so we can go home and eat. I'll donate ten dollars first."

As he said this, he put ten yuan into the donation box in Sun Dahu's hand.

Sun Dahu quickly thanked him and wrote it down with pen and paper.

Liu Haizhong followed suit and took out 5 yuan and invested it.

Yan Fugui was shocked by the amount of money the two donated. What a guy! They donated just ten or five yuan. How could he survive?

A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man, and completely disregards the suffering of ordinary people.

Thinking that as a third uncle he couldn't go too far, he gritted his teeth and took out a dollar to invest it. This was enough to make him feel distressed for several days, and he had no chance of sleeping tonight.

The children of the Yan family and the third aunt were stunned. They thought, could Dad (Old Yan) be possessed by a ghost to be willing to donate one dollar!

When it was other people's turn, everyone looked at each other, and no one took the initiative.

When Pei Guang saw that the situation was not right, he stepped forward and threw in five dollars.

"Neighbors, everyone has difficulties. If you help others now, everyone will not ignore you when you encounter difficulties in the future."

Sha Zhu was unhappy when he saw this. We are all chefs, so why should you be the only one to take all the limelight?

So he stood up and put in five dollars as well.

Pei Guang gave him a thumbs up and said, "What a man!"

Sha Zhu raised his head proudly, "You don't need me to tell you, I've always been such a man!"

You know what, for a moment Pei Guang thought he was pretty cute! Bah, it must be an illusion.

Xu Damao cursed inwardly what an idiot he was. How many things could one buy with five dollars, and yet he just donated it like that.

If their family donates too little, they will definitely be squeezed out by Shazhu. It's so painful.

With these two people taking the lead, the neighbors were no longer reserved and came forward one by one to donate money.

It’s a few cents or a few cents to show your appreciation.

Even Liang Ladi, who had just moved in, donated 2 cents.

Jia Dongxu originally planned to donate 2 cents, but was stopped by Jia Zhang, and finally donated 5 cents.

As a high-income group in the courtyard, they are indeed a bit stingy, and many neighbors look at the Jia family with strange eyes.

Jia Zhangshi was like a dead pig that was not afraid of boiling water, and she didn't take it seriously at all. Jia Dongxu simply lowered his head and kept silent, while Qin Huairu coaxed Xiaodang in her arms.

When it was Xu's turn, Xu Fugui took out 2 yuan and invested it, and was immediately ridiculed by Sha Zhu.

"Uncle Xu, your family has high incomes and both of you are working, but you only donated 2 yuan, which is not as much as I did."

As he said this, he provoked Xu Damao with his eyes and used his mouth-to-mouth skill.

"Xu Koubi!"

Xu Damao felt offended, so he took out three yuan from his pocket and walked up to him, "Da Hu, my dad and I donated this together."

"Thank you, Brother Damao!"

Father Xu was so angry that he could not speak. His son was still too young and would get angry if someone just said something bad to him.

As if he had won a battle, Sha Zhu raised his head and looked around, his meaning was obvious, "See? The punishment of Xu Damao still depends on Master Zhu."

Pei Guang was immediately amused. Why hadn't he noticed that he was such a funny guy before?

Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction. After a quick calculation, he realized that the amount of donations had exceeded 30 yuan. It seemed that there was still a way to make use of the donations.

Doesn't this prove that Siheyuan is a big, united and friendly family, and that he, as the uncle, has made great contributions.

After everyone donated, Sun Dahu bowed to thank everyone with tears in his eyes. At this moment, he felt that although life is bitter, it can also be sweet.

Then Yi Zhonghai gave a summary of today's donation conference and then announced the end of the conference.

After everyone left, Sun Dahu came to Pei's house to express his gratitude. He saw clearly from the beginning to the end what role Pei Guang played in it.

Pei Guang patted his shoulder and said, "Da Hu, difficulties will eventually pass. You must believe that there will always be sunshine after the storm."

"Uh-huh!"

After this incident, he became much more optimistic and had a new understanding of life!

孙大虎回到家清点了一下，其中易中海10块、刘海中5块、裴广5块、何雨柱5块、许家5块，阎阜贵1块，加上其他零零散散的一共有33块2毛。

Sun Xiaohu was very happy to see so much money, "Brother, grandma will be fine with this money."

"Well, I'll take you to the hospital to see grandma, and we'll tell her the good news together."

"Okay, I'll also bring some delicious food for grandma."

Chapter 30 Storing Grain

In the early hours of the morning, a bright moon hangs in the night sky, pouring its light onto the earth, and the combination with the lights is fascinating.

It's a good time to steal something!

Pei Guang, who had fallen asleep, suddenly opened his eyes and listened attentively to the movements in the house.

He quietly came to his sister's room and made sure that she was sleeping soundly before leaving the house.

At this time, the courtyard was completely quiet, with only the occasional loud sound of cicadas.

After making sure that there was no one around, Pei Guang pushed his bicycle out of the compound.

Taking a shortcut and relying on his original body's memory, he rushed towards a black market in the east of the city.

..........

Open the skills list

技能：厨艺精通（222/1000）学识精通（545/1000） 健身精通（162/1000）维修精通（135/1000）驾驶精通（12/1000）赌术熟练（8/100）

During this period, the maintenance, driving, and gambling skills were all upgraded to the next level. The system was generous and distributed a lot of supplies as encouragement.

Including the rewards he received in previous times, a huge sum of 800 yuan has been stored in the space, which is almost equivalent to his salary for two years.

The golden finger smells good!

Now that there are signs of difficult times, Pei Guang plans to exchange more food for storage, and the black market is naturally the best choice.

Under the planned economy, you need receipts to buy anything, and many people cannot buy supplies even if they have money. Some people have extra or unused items and want to find a place to get rid of them.

Most of the people who come to sell things are farmers from the countryside. They can get a lot of food for every cent they earn, but they can't get anything else.

So they could only take out the food to exchange for the items they needed.

Due to various factors, the black market was born naturally. Although there are risks of speculation, people still flock to it.

Of course, the people behind the black market are not ordinary people. These people are often a group, and they can get the news in advance if there is any disturbance, so as to avoid risks as much as possible.

Here, as long as you have enough money, you can buy anything.

He came to the entrance of a nearby alley, put the bicycle into the space, put on a hat and mask, and slowly walked towards the entrance of the black market.

Two burly men were standing there smoking. When they saw the man coming, they looked him up and down and asked, "Buy or sell?"

These two people are specifically responsible for guarding the gate. If the seller is a seller, they will be charged 1 cent, but if the buyer is a buyer, it is free.

Of course, they don't ask for your money for nothing. Once a patrol team appears, they will shout and give everyone time to react and escape.

It’s like spending money to buy peace!

"Buy!" Pei Guang responded calmly.

"go in!"

"When you hear someone shouting, run to the alley entrance immediately. Don't run back!"

Pei Guang thanked him and walked slowly inside.

As soon as I entered the black market, a dark shadow approached me immediately.

"Brother, do you want to buy food coupons? My prices are absolutely reasonable!"

Pei Guang just glanced at him and ignored him. This guy was either from the security department, or had some connections, or had a mental problem.

If anyone dares to sell food coupons at the entrance and someone comes to check, he will be the first one to be caught.

Walking inside, you can see many sellers setting up stalls on the alley, and buyers talking in front of the stalls.

There were more rustling sounds, with people asking prices and bargaining.

From the outside, everyone seems to be disguised. If they meet someone they know and get caught, it would be a waste of time.

After walking a few steps, I found a stall selling flour. Although it was disguised, I could still tell that it was an old lady's stall.

“How much is the flour?”

"4 cents a pound!"

Pei Guang checked it out and found that it was just ordinary flour. The grain store sold it for 2 yuan per pound, but the grain store required grain coupons, which she didn't need.

The price is reasonable!

"Maybe it's cheaper. If it's suitable, I'll take all of them."

The old lady glanced at him and said, "I have about 4 kilograms here. If you want all of them, I'll charge you cents per kilogram."

Pei Guang nodded and agreed. He weighed it and it was 32 kilograms, a total of 12.80 yuan.

After the payment and goods were settled, he continued shopping with the flour in his hand.

There are vendors selling rice, cornmeal, and flour. If you see the price is right, buy it. If you can’t carry it, find a place to store it.

For safety reasons, he did not choose to contact those local tyrants, even though they must have stored a lot of food.

An hour later, Pei Guang quietly left here and headed for the black market in Dongzhimen.

I worked until four in the morning and spent nearly four hundred yuan to buy fifteen hundred kilograms of food, all of which I stored in the space.

At this moment, a shout suddenly came.

"The patrol is coming! The patrol is coming!"

Pei Guang reacted the fastest and started running without saying a word.

In an instant, everyone hurriedly moved and ran towards the entrance of the alley.

The sellers were reluctant to part with the supplies and packed them up in a hurry, leaving a lot of things behind while running around.

"Stop! Don't try to run!"
