When Comrade Xiao Xu saw this, he also stood up and said, "Everyone, please be quiet. Even if the street office is asking for the reelection of the compound, it is also the actual situation of your compound. Comrade Yi Zhonghai took the initiative to apply to the street office to resign as the steward. , we respect Comrade Yi Zhonghai’s decision. According to the process, it is also necessary to re-elect the courtyard steward. Now Please follow the procedure and convey the spirit of your superiors first. Comrade Liu Haizhong, please continue to preside."
Comrade Xiao Xu came forward, and the courtyard naturally became quiet. Zhu Xuefeng looked at the absent-minded third uncle and the changed man. It's really interesting to look at the relaxed first uncle and the energetic second uncle. The layout of the compound is going to change today.
“Dear young and old men, aunts and uncles, and fellow neighbors!” Liu Haizhong’s voice was loud and powerful, penetrating the tranquility of the middle courtyard, “Today, we gather here to respond to the Party Central Committee’s decision Call to further promote the revolutionary movement. Now it is up to me to convey the spirit."
Liu Haizhong was reading the superior document loudly without any stuttering. Unfortunately, the effect was not good. There were many whispers below. Maybe someone knew about today's topic and was working tirelessly to inform the uninformed people. Neighbors explained that the buzzing sound was constant and seemed to be expanding.
Liu Haizhong saw this and was a little embarrassed, but he still patiently continued to convey the spirit. After finally conveying the message, Liu Haizhong also breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, nothing happened. Silly Zhu always The one who lifted the pole with me honestly didn't cause any trouble today.
The second item is what the courtyard is most concerned about. After Liu Haizhong started the second item today, the courtyard suddenly became lively. Although he couldn't understand why Yi Zhonghai quit, there were still several neighbors who were recommending candidates. During the recruitment stage, Yi Zhonghai was immediately recommended.
"I'm here to remind everyone!" Xiao Xu stood up again.
“I hope everyone will think carefully about the selection of candidates for the steward this time. The comrades selected must have the ability and willingness, and don’t make rash selections.”
He paused. After a pause, he glanced at everyone present and continued: "Everyone knows that Comrade Yi Zhonghai, the former First Master, has worked hard for many years and devoted countless efforts to the compound. But unfortunately, due to physical reasons, Yi Zhonghai Comrade Yi Zhonghai has no choice but to resign from this position. On behalf of the sub-district office, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude and high respect to Comrade Yi Zhonghai!”
“So I hope everyone respects Comrade Yi Zhonghai’s personal wishes! , don’t make it difficult for him.”
After Comrade Xiao Xu finished speaking, he sat back, and there was brief peace in the courtyard again.
"Comrade Lao Yi has worked hard and diligently for the affairs of the compound over the years. I suggest everyone give you a round of applause!"
As he said this, Liu Haizhong turned to Yi Zhonghai and bowed deeply. Bowed. Applause erupted in the courtyard, but it became more and more numerous and orderly.
Although Yi Zhonghai had always had a calm expression, he was a little moved at this moment, and his eyes revealed a sense of touch and relief. He stood up slowly and said in a hoarse but firm voice:
"Thank you for your concern and support. Although I, Yi Zhonghai, am no longer strong physically, my heart will always be connected with the compound. Over the years, I am lucky enough to serve as a senior official only because of everyone's trust and support. I would like to express my special thanks to every neighbor for their help and cooperation in my work. I will also firmly support the work of the compound in the days to come. Continue to implement the requirements of the sub-district office!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into warm applause again. Now that Yi Zhonghai had withdrawn from the election, the courtyard was a little silent after the applause. No one continued to recommend candidates. As an organizer, Liu Haizhong felt a little embarrassed and had to look around. The whole hospital finally turned their attention to Qin Huairu in the distance. The two looked at each other for a moment before Liu Haizhong changed his gaze.
"I hope everyone will continue to have the courage to make recommendations. This is for the sake of our entire compound." After saying this, he stopped talking and sat down. There was a burst of discussion in the yard again. Qin Huairu knew that it was time for him to take the lead. Although he was reluctant, both of them were now deputy director Li's people, so they had to help no matter what.
"I propose Comrade Liu Haizhong!" An unexpected female voice came over, and Qin Huairu stood up with a simple smile on her face. She cleared her throat:
"Everyone, listen to me. The second uncle has helped the compound solve problems in these years. Everyone knows how many difficulties he has faced. Although I don’t study much, I have sharp eyes. I am here to express my support for Comrade Liu Haizhong! He is also reliable in doing things. With him here, our compound will definitely become more prosperous! "
Speaking of this, Qin Huairu paused and ignored Jia Zhang who was looking at her with a strange expression. Her eyes were full of sincerity: "Of course, I have worked very hard these years, especially for us. We put a lot of effort into family matters. Our family will have to remember the grandfather’s memory for the rest of our lives. Okay. However, the first uncle and his wife are not in good health now. It is really inappropriate for the first uncle to work so hard. As the second uncle, Master Liu is the most suitable candidate. I believe he can lead our compound to move forward. , let everyone’s days become more prosperous! ”
Qin Huairu's words were simple and straightforward, but very reasonable. Many people nodded in agreement, and the atmosphere suddenly became very lively. Now that someone was taking the lead, the election work in the compound became lively again, and the third uncle was soon elected. , Teacher Yan’s face at the Eight Immortals table finally looked better. Unfortunately, the third candidate has not yet been born. Several recommended uncles took the initiative to express that they did not have the ability in this area and were unable to shoulder such a heavy responsibility. As for choosing young people , that is impossible.
Subsequently, the election officially began. After some intense discussion and voting, the results were finally announced. Liu Haizhong was elected as the new first uncle as he wished, while Teacher Yan was promoted from the third uncle to the second uncle. After the election results were announced, warm applause and cheers erupted again in the compound.
As the newly elected grand master, Liu Haizhong stood in front of everyone with full confidence: "Thank you for your trust and support! From today on, I will shoulder the heavy responsibility of leading the compound forward. I promise that I will definitely Live up to everyone’s expectations and continue to carry forward Comrade Yi Zhonghai I will adhere to the fine tradition of serving the residents of the compound wholeheartedly. At the same time, I will also actively respond to the call of my superiors and carry out in-depth revolutionary movements to make our compound a strong fortress of the revolution!”
As a newly promoted teacher! The second uncle also gave a brief speech. He first expressed his gratitude to Yi Zhonghai for his hard work and promised to continue to contribute to the development of the compound under the leadership of the new steward.
“Okay, the re-election of No. 95 Courtyard has been successfully completed, and the masses can actively cooperate and actively participate. This proves that the people in our compound have a high level of consciousness and strongly support the work of the sub-district office. I We will report the results of the reelection as soon as possible, thank you all.”
Comrade Xiao Xu stood up to speak again. This election was successfully completed. The crowd had dispersed. Comrade Xiao Xu chatted with the two newly elected elders for a while and left. However, there were still discussions in the courtyard about today's re-election. The group murmured.
"How could this old guy Yi Zhonghai be willing to let go of his status as a master? There is something weird in this." Ms. Jia Zhang was still muttering in a low voice. Looking at her radiant daughter-in-law, she felt very unhappy. The daughter-in-law is in such a state. She, as a person who has been through it, doesn't understand the weirdness of it. She has scolded her several times but has no evidence, so she can only turn a blind eye. As long as she looks okay, she pretends that she doesn't know.
But her daughter-in-law actually stood up to support Liu Haizhong today, which she couldn't understand. Her daughter-in-law and Liu Haizhong seemed to have nothing to do with each other. What kind of truth was this? She didn't believe Qin Huairu's lies. She heard about how many stupid things Nian had done, which made Silly Zhu almost tear down his house. She heard that he was even beaten up and ran around the yard.
"I said to his wife, what do you think, that old man Yi Zhonghai will no longer be a big man, can he justifiably stop helping our family? You are so stupid for liking Liu Haizhong, he agreed What's wrong with you, are you supporting him in public? When did you two get involved?"
Jia Zhang's suspicion did not arouse Qin Huairu. In response, Qin Huairu just glanced at her mother-in-law and said, "Isn't it nice that the uncle doesn't help us? You always said that he didn't have good intentions in helping us. Now that he doesn't help you, there is nothing to doubt. I think that's all. That's good." "But, but..." Mrs. Jia Zhang was a little anxious. Even if the two families moved less now, they could still get some benefits from the first master every month. Wouldn't that be gone in the future?
"It's nothing. In the past, they were just an old couple, and they helped us with whatever they needed. Now that they are in poor health and have two more children, they naturally can't help us. From now on, we have to rely on ourselves. I heard The feed factory is still short of people, why don’t I sign up for you?”
Jia Zhang shook her head like a rattle, "No, no, Huaihua is only five years old now. She can't go to school, and I have to look after her. Besides, you can't take care of the three children's dinner. I can only come and go to work, it won’t work.”
Qin Huairu aside. He packed up the dry clothes and folded them while saying, "Give the Sophora japonica to the aunt to play with her son. You can make dinner after get off work. It's not too late. There's nothing wrong with it."
Meet Qin Huairu It was an understatement, and Ms. Jia Zhang felt aggrieved, "You also go to work, why don't you come back?" How can you be so cruel when you want to make me, an old woman, go to work and take care of the house while cooking dinner at home?”
Of course Qin Huairu knows that this is impossible, which is to say, by the way, she wants Jia Zhang to do it. In this case, he probably had to be forced with a gun. It was just a joke in the first place.
"If you don't want to go to work, just stay at home, take good care of your children, and don't think about messy things all day long. In the future, the uncle will be Liu Haizhong. What you just said has reached his ears. It must be bad. He is not Uncle Yi. Auntie with that kind of temper will definitely deal with you.”
Not to mention that every household is talking about today’s re-election. As soon as the meeting was over, Si Zhu and his wife sent the old lady back to the backyard and dragged Zhu Xuefeng into the main hall. house.
Si Zhu looked at Zhu Xuefeng with a look of confusion on his face, and Lou Xiao'e's heart was in her throat, waiting for his answer.
"Brother, is it possible?"
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng smile, Lou Xiaoe felt relieved.
"Have you really thought about it?"
Silly Zhu nodded and signaled Lou Xiao'e to go outside to observe, and then whispered.
"The old man and the old lady have realized that something is wrong. If this continues, they will definitely be blamed and they will have to leave. But when Ezi saw that I wouldn't leave, he naturally stayed with me. Brother, you I have said before that there is really something I can do to help.”
“Brother Zhuzi, you have a good memory. Don’t worry, it’s nothing. Since they have a way to leave on their own, Just some furniture, I'll be responsible for getting it for them, nothing else. This is a shabby person. When they leave, give me the key and I will help solve it."
Silly Zhu. Overjoyed, today the couple was called to Lou Xiao'e's house in a hurry. Mr. Lou told them a surprising decision. The old couple decided to leave secretly and go to Xiangjiang to seek their opinions.
Silly Zhu thought about it and decided to stay. Lou Xiao'e was in a dilemma and finally decided to stay with her man.
Mr. Lou sighed, moved the two mothers and daughters away, and talked with Silly Zhu for a long time. However, it was the two mothers and daughters hugging each other next door crying that made Mr. Lou have no choice but to end the conversation.
Master Lou did not convince Sha Zhu in the end, but he understood what Sha Zhu was thinking. An old woman and neighbor who had taken care of him, Sha Zhu could be considerate and considerate of helping him provide for the elderly. Master Lou could only say I admire her, and I definitely have nothing wrong with my daughter.
The final result of the agreement was to come for consultation. If Si Zhu’s brother can really help with the transfer of family property, he can pay 20% of the fee. If not, Mr. Lou is ready to contact the previous handler quickly, even if he loses money. At this point, he has to leave quickly. The news in the past few months has completely scared him. If he stays here any longer, it will definitely be bad. His daughter is now married and Laihao is a worker. If he stays, it shouldn't be a big problem.
Zhu Xuefeng's statement made Silly Zhu overjoyed. He sent Zhu Xuefeng away and hurriedly went out. He pulled Lou Xiao'e and said only one sentence.
"It's done, let's go quickly."
Zhu Xuefeng watched Silly Zhu and his wife leave in a hurry in the side room, and shook his head. He had really come to this step. It didn't matter if he left, it would be over.
Si Zhu and Lou Xiao'e here hurried back to the Lou Mansion. After looking around like thieves, they entered the door. While closing the door carefully, they checked again to see if anyone was following them.
"Zhuzi, you said he promised to help for free?"
Mr. Lou is full of suspicion. There are still such people in this world. Maybe he doesn't know the details of his family. Also, the basement Only he and his wife know about his wealth. Not to mention his son-in-law, even his daughter doesn't know about it. How can anyone not be jealous of wealth? No matter how good Shazhu's brother is, he probably won't change his mind after seeing so much wealth.
Mr. Lou was not at all worried that this person would not take advantage of him. He walked around with his hands behind his back for a while before he stopped under the doubtful eyes of Shazhu's family and Lou Xiao'e. He finally made up his mind and waited for him to leave before the dust settled. , the daughter and son-in-law will have to deal with the aftermath, and they will know about it sooner or later.
