Chapter 225: The First Master’s Review
After a while, every household in the courtyard received a notice to convene the first hospital-wide meeting of the year. One representative from each family was held at the First Master’s house considering the weather conditions.
There are many smart people in the compound. Thinking of Jia Dongxu before he left, many people speculated that it was related to the Jia family. Also, the last difficult donation was more than three months ago, so it is estimated that it is time to donate again. Well, everyone can still see the Jia family's daughter-in-law struggling, and people are somewhat aloof.
There are also people who reluctantly don’t want to come. No one wants to be picked out all the time, and the family is still happy to be picked out. But seeing everyone entering the grandpa’s house one after another, they have no choice but to come too. .
"Old Niu, you all come inside and stand here. After a while, people will come and we can't move away. Let's just sit on the kang, it's still warm."
The uncle smiled He greeted everyone, his face was different from the usual stern smile, showing kindness and kindness. These people are all from the backyard. Today, it was the two boys from the second uncle’s family who informed them that they would start from the backyard first. They were also the earliest to arrive. This is a great honor to the three uncles.
Si Zhu clasped his hands and hunched his shoulders, and came too. He came a little late, so he had to stand against the door. It was already full, with three uncles sitting around the table, and about twenty other people standing and sitting, filling the whole room.
"Zhuzi, go inside, otherwise I will call you later."
Silly Zhu smiled and shook his head, declining.
“No, no, it’s not appropriate to crowd around in such a small place. Besides, it’s not far away and you can hear everything you say.”
Seeing that no one came in again, the first man stood up and took a look. They should have almost arrived, not counting those who were not notified. Even Xu Damao came not late and squeezed to stand on the kang. On the kang were several workers in the backyard.
"Zhuzi, help some people and see who is still missing."
Silly Zhu stood on tiptoe, counted back and forth twice, and said to Yi Zhonghai:
“Only the old lady in the backyard, Jia’s family in the middle yard, and Zhu’s family in the front yard didn’t come, but the others are all here!”
Yi Zhonghai nodded. These three families didn’t let them know, so it’s okay. They are all here. After the last criticism from the sub-district office, they were able to gather people together in such a short time. It seems that their prestige is still there.
"Master, there are still three families who have not arrived. The spirit of this meeting cannot be conveyed. Do we need to call them again?"
The speaker was Xu Damao, who was holding his arms and leaning against For warmth, one leg is supported and the other leg is stepped on the beam of a stool on one side. This should keep the injured part hanging and make it more comfortable.
Yi Zhonghai looked back at Xu Damao and said with a smile.
“Da Mao, don’t worry about this. I didn’t let you call these three families. None of them work. They are all students and one is a five-guarantee household. In this weather, I asked the old lady to come and squeeze. It’s not appropriate to live there, and it’s not convenient for someone with a big belly.”
“Then Jia Zhang can come.”
"You don't know, right? Since Dongxu left, her mother has been so sad that she has been lying on the kang for several days. I can't call Banggeng to the meeting. Okay, don't make trouble."
Xu Damao had no choice but to shut up. Now he was sure that he was donating money to the Jia family. This damn master and his disciples were all gone. Who could show him?
Yi Zhonghai glanced at Liu Haizhong, sat down slowly, and took a sip of water. Liu Haizhong knew that he was allowed to start the show again. He was a little reluctant today, but with so many people watching, this second uncle As usual, I have to get up and speak.
“Ahem, um, um.”
“Everyone, please be quiet. The temperature outside is low now, so I summoned everyone here because I have something to talk about.”
The second uncle felt a little awkward, so he couldn't help but pick up the tea cup and take a sip. "That's right, today is our first all-hands meeting this year. Ordinarily, in the past, we used to convey the New Year..."
The first man covered his mouth at the side. , coughed, maybe because they were all in the room, no one said anything or whispered, it was very quiet, this cough directly interrupted the second uncle's performance.
The second uncle choked and continued.
“Not long ago, the sub-district office also criticized us for not caring enough about and helping the needy households in the compound, which directly affected the sub-district office’s overall impression of the compound.”
"The purpose of today's meeting is, well, to discuss together how we can care for and help the needy families in the hospital. Now let me give a speech." , donate money, food, oil to the Jia family, but the elder hasn’t spoken yet, so I have to listen to the elder’s arrangements.
The first man stood up slowly, looked around, looked ashamed, and spoke slowly.
“Everyone is here for a meeting today. It’s a bit crowded and the conditions are not good. I don’t have so many stools and chairs. I can’t even provide hot water. I have to make everyone stand. I’m sorry. ”
The opening of this scene is relatively new. I have never seen it before. The atmosphere suddenly became more lively, and some people were shouting below.
"You're welcome, Sir. In this damn weather, you brought everyone together and it's still warm. Everyone thinks so."
There was a sound of giggling below, but everyone was smiling. He said it was no problem, just standing, he had just finished eating and didn’t want to drink water.
"Master, please don't keep the aunt busy, let's get started directly."
In the crowd, the aunt was still struggling to refill the water for the neighbor who brought the cup. They are all human beings who cannot turn a hot water bottle even if they hold it.
The first uncle stretched out his hands and pressed them in the air. The room became quiet. The second uncle looked at the scene and felt sad in his heart. He was still much worse than the first uncle.
"Ordinarily, the street office criticized our three uncles because we did not do our usual work well and we should accept this criticism."
"First of all, here, let me review it. It is true that we do not care enough about families in need. As a result of this kind of thing happening, if we, the uncles, could pay more attention to families in need, this kind of thing would not happen. Here, I sincerely apologize to everyone, because our work was not done well, which affected the courtyard. The reputation has also directly affected everyone. "
After saying that, the first man bowed deeply and did not get up for a long time. Uncle Niu, who was the nearest, quickly got off the kang and helped the first man up.
"Master, I can't afford this. I can't afford it. Everyone sees it. In fact..."
Master stretched out his hand to interrupt, very sincerely.
"You have to admit when you are wrong. Only when you know your mistakes and can correct them can you make progress. Don't try to persuade me, old cow. If you are wrong, you are wrong."
Everyone was deeply touched by this nonsense. It was obviously Jia Dongxu who was messing around, but the three elders took the blame. Now listening to the elder's analysis, it seemed to make sense. However, seeing the elder who was usually the first to apologize for everything, everyone was still a little moved and a little dissatisfied. Just vanished into thin air.
Seeing the change in everyone's eyes, the first man secretly breathed a sigh of relief. When he came in just now, many people looked at him with disdain and dissatisfaction, but he still saw it.
