Chapter 7 Hospital General Meeting
Each meeting is led by three uncles, who conduct internal negotiations on the tasks of street layout, the spirit conveyed to the lower levels, and petty disputes between parents, to maintain the reputation and stability of the hospital. .
In fact, according to Zhu Xuefeng’s understanding today, the three stewards of the courtyard were not initially there to deal with trivial matters among neighbors and family feuds.
In order to prevent enemy agents from lurking and sabotaging, a steward was selected in a complex with a large number of people. He was responsible for reporting any abnormal persons discovered to the street and the police station.
But now, after two major clean-ups, the enemy agents have basically disappeared, and the responsibilities of the stewards of each courtyard have been changed to coordinating and handling neighborhood disputes in the courtyard.
Zhu Xuefeng found a pillar to lean on in the Chaoshou Veranda. The terrain here was higher and it was easier to see clearly.
A group of women are gathering in the back row to exchange information. The heads of household are in the middle and front, chatting away.
At the very back, under the locust tree in front of Qin's house, was a tall, thin young man with a long face and a mustache. This guy should be Xu Damao.
Xu Damao was in the crowd, talking animatedly with several neighbors.
Describing the village girls and women he saw when he went to the countryside, how politely the village cadres treated him, treated him to some local specialties, and gave him so many local specialties, which made the neighbors around him endlessly. Extremely envious.
Behind him is Jia Dongxu, who is sitting directly in front of his house. He is quiet and there is no one around him. The other Jia family members are basically watching from the windows in the house.
Although Qin Huairu was just pregnant and had not yet shown her pregnancy, Jia Zhang said that there were too many people in the intermediate hospital and the first three months were the most dangerous, so she was not allowed to come out, so she and her two children stayed at home.
It was as if happiness came to the soul, it was him, it must be him, the one who provoked Jia Dongxu was him, the most insidious and shady master in this compound.
At the same time, seeing Jia Dongxu and Xu Damao so close, Zhu Xuefeng suddenly understood.
At the door of the first master, there is an Eight Immortals table and three benches in a decent manner.
The second uncle Liu Haizhong and the third uncle Yan Fugui have already arrived and are sitting on two benches next to them.
At this time, Zhu Xuefeng saw a middle-aged man in dark blue overalls walking out, about fifty years old, carrying a tea vat.
With a crew cut and slightly white hair, thick eyebrows and big eyes, and an upright look on his face, he is exactly the uncle. His demeanor is obviously different today. He is less friendly than usual and more serious.
A young man with a well-proportioned figure and a strong body followed behind, pulling the wire from the uncle's house, to the locust tree next to the Eight Immortals table, found a suitable branch, and hung it up. White flag bulb with buckle bowl.
Looking at this young man who was dressed casually and had a slightly old-fashioned face, Zhu Xuefeng understood that this was a stupid man who was easygoing on the surface and could not keep his mouth shut. Little thoughts that cannot be expressed.
Silly Zhu placed a small stool next to the Eight Immortals table and sat down. The uncle also came to his seat, put down the teapot, arranged his work clothes, and sat down slowly.
The three uncles all have a large enamel tea jar in front of them. There is a faint red prize printed on the cup of the first uncle. It is probably some kind of prize won by the old eighth-level fitter. He also has the prize facing outward. .
It is still early, it is not dark yet, and the lights are not on. Looking at the big teacups and incandescent lamps, these three uncles are preparing to fight at night.
"Is everyone here?" The first man turned around and asked Silly Zhu.
"Everyone is here except the old lady in the backyard."
The first uncle turned to look at the second uncle, and then nodded. The second uncle stood up, coughed twice, and cleared his throat. .
“Comrades in the courtyard, today is the first general meeting of our courtyard after the new year.
Last year, with the support of everyone in the courtyard, our courtyard once again evaluated For the civilized compound, this is a strong support for our three uncles, and it is with..."
"Second uncle, it's getting dark, don't say this is useful or not, if you have anything, just ask Just say it directly. "
Silly Zhu couldn't stand this the most. He didn't want to listen to Liu Haizhong's official talk and interrupted the second uncle's opening remarks.
His bangs were interrupted by Silly Zhu, and he felt angry, but when he saw that the people around him were also impatient, he had no choice but to press his hands on the Eight Immortals table and lean forward.
"Then let me make a long story short. I have called everyone together today because there is a major matter that concerns everyone and needs to be discussed."
"Now let me talk about today's charter."
Liu Haizhong sat down and glanced at Shazhu.
Si Zhu was not to be outdone and stared back.
The first man, Yi Zhonghai, held the teapot, looked around, and said calmly.
"Everyone, please be quiet. Let me say something briefly."
"Mainly recently, several neighbors have come to us to report that the housing situation in this family is really tight."
There was a buzz below. This housing issue has always been a hot topic.
Seeing that everyone's emotions were aroused, the first man continued.
"Now the policy encourages more children. After everyone responded to the policy and had more children, the trouble came."
"There is not enough room to live!" the third uncle continued.
The connection is really seamless. The three uncles still cooperate with each other tacitly, and the mutual assistance for many years is still very effective.
The noise in the middle courtyard became louder. This is hope for solving the problem of housing. Good news. Only a few insiders remained silent.
"Lao Yang, you are in the logistics, have you heard anything?"
"No, there is news from your workshop?"
"We haven't heard anything either. . ”
Everyone started talking and whispering, trying to find out information from each other, fearing that something good would be missed.
For a time, there was chaos in the middle courtyard, and the sound became louder and louder. It was overwhelming and noisy.
Seeing that everyone's enthusiasm for participation was once again mobilized, even the third uncle also had a little hope.
Silly Zhu stood up and shouted: "Why are you making such a fuss? Just listen to what I have to say."
The voice did not subside, and Silly Zhu shouted at the top of his lungs again.
"Don't make any noise, just listen to what I have to say."
Seeing that it gradually quieted down, I continued. "Everyone's enthusiasm is understandable. Please keep quiet. There are too many people and I'm afraid the comrades behind you can't hear clearly."
"As I said just now, it is now a policy to encourage more children. These people responded to the policy and faced the difficulty of not having housing for many years to come.”
“We are all revolutionary comrades. In the face of difficulties, we must show the spirit of solidarity and mutual assistance, right?”
Seeing some people nodding in agreement, the elder became even more interested.
......
The old man spoke eloquently for almost ten minutes.
"The policy encourages everyone to have more children. It is said that more people are more powerful."
"But now some comrades who responded to the policy have encountered difficulties. They said that as neighbors who see each other every day in the compound, seeing In this case, should we help?”
Seeing that few people responded this time, the old man looked around again.
“We should help”, someone finally answered in a low voice.
“What the comrade just said is right, the revolutionary masses should help each other, so that they can better respond to the call and implement the policy more unswervingly.”
“Now we Some family members in the steel rolling mill are now a little wealthy due to various reasons. Can we make some internal adjustments to help these comrades who have difficulties in responding to the call? "
A man with a look on his face? Upright, very serious, looking at everyone.
Now everyone understands what it means. It is not that the factory has new benefits, but that internal adjustments are to be made in the compound.
Isn't this just taking away someone's property? Although it is a public housing, they have been living in it, so no one would be willing to change it.
But following the rhythm of the big brother, some people still think that internal adjustments should be made. There was chaos, people held all kinds of opinions, and for a while there was a lot of debate and discussion.
The third uncle no longer had the expectations he had just now, which showed that the family members of the steel rolling mill were adjusting internally. He was a primary school teacher and not an employee of the steel rolling mill, so he was not considered at all.
The first and second uncles were fooled again. They didn’t mention this before the meeting. The third uncle felt that this uncle was a coward.
"You said you are not interested in Lao Zhu's house."
"That's necessary, otherwise why do you think Jia Dongxu is moving."
"It's great to have a good master. This is really unethical, so we won't do it."
Zhu Xuefeng ignored it, and he carried out this policy. He responded to the call in every word, and Lao Yi still had some tricks up his sleeve.
Seeing the chaos, the first man was ready to cut through the chaos with a quick knife.
Looking at Silhu, Silhu stood up again and stopped the noise.
Zhu Xuefeng understood clearly that Silhu was the gun of the great master, and he could help wherever he was needed.
Seeing that the middle courtyard slowly became quiet again, the first man said loudly.
"It has been made clear. Now let's have a democratic discussion on this matter."
"Now everyone will vote with a show of hands. We respond to the policy call and carry out mutual help among revolutionary comrades. Those who agree raise their hands and say One vote per family, don’t mess around.”
The first man made a rare joke.
This decision is a bit sudden. Isn’t it obvious that the lice are on the bald man’s head? No one wants to offend anyone.
"I usually see Lao Yi acting fairly and doing things for everyone. Why is it like this this time? Isn't this nonsense?" Someone whispered.
Looking at the crowd being silent, no one raised their hands for a long time, except for Jia Dongxu who raised his hands far away in the back row, but no one saw it.
Xu Damao pretended not to hear and continued to whisper to the neighbor next to him.
The first man stood up, took the lead and raised his hand, looked around, and then looked at the heads of each family one by one.
The second uncle also raised his hand. The third uncle hesitated and then also raised his hand.
Silly Zhu saw the first man raising his hand, so he didn’t think much and raised his hand directly. Now there were four votes at the Eight Immortals table. It was bright and everyone could get it.
The uncle looked at Zhu Xuefeng who was leaning against the arcade again. Zhu Xuefeng lowered his head and didn't know what he was thinking. Anyway, he didn't dare to cause trouble. It was good, he knew what he was doing.
Seeing someone taking the lead, but it was not him who took the lead anyway, some people raised their hands.
The power of the big hat and the majesty of the uncle were still very effective. One after another hesitantly, they raised their hands.
After waiting for a while, I faced the uncle's gaze without raising my hand. I would rather hide and avoid raising my hand. Anyway, the uncle would not be able to come and ask.
"Zhuzhu, count how many households agree."
"Sixteen votes agreed, twelve families did not raise their hands, and the old lady was not counted."
“Okay, more than half of them agree, which proves that the majority of comrades agree, then we will start the next step.”
Seeing the voting results, the process is simpler than imagined, Mr. More confident.
With a good start, the following steps should be very promising. Isn't it half the success of a good start?
Anyway, it’s someone else’s house and it doesn’t involve you. You passed the first round, and it shouldn’t be too difficult to pass the second round.
The middle courtyard gradually became quiet, and everyone stared at the three uncles to see how they would sing next to the play.
“Now let’s start with the houses, and count down one house at a time to see which house has the conditions to adjust and help everyone.”
“In the front yard, the third uncle’s family has six people and two. There’s no time, no conditions,” the uncle said.
"Old Zhu's family has three people living in three rooms. We have this condition, so we can consider it."
