Scholars in the courtyard

There were many voices at the scene, and many people shouted loudly for help.

The third uncle no longer dared to nod casually, and looked at Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong from time to time, asking them to make up their minds.

The scene was noisy, but Yang Xiaotao sat there quietly.

Looking at the scene in front of me, I said to myself, "It is indeed so!"

This is also the reason why he didn't let Uncle Chen sign up.

During this period, he and Uncle Chen got close, helping each other inside and out. The lives of the two families improved greatly, which naturally made the people in the courtyard jealous.

On weekdays, Aunt Chen also heard a lot of gossip when she visited people on the street.

Yang Xiaotao also heard envious sounds in the yard more than once.

These people just want help from others. Although no one dares to take his ideas, what these people have in mind is not simple.

Because it was proposed for the first time last year, everyone was waiting and watching. Some people were even embarrassed to come forward because of face issues.

But this year is different. With Yang Xiaotao's proofing, life has really improved. This time, anyone with some ideas has come forward.

Just when Yang Xiaotao came to his senses, four more people stood up on the scene. They were all people in the courtyard who were not as good as those above but more than enough.

In the crowd, Shazhu looked at the excitement and smiled stupidly, mentally wanting to get involved.

Just as he was about to speak, he was pulled down on his seat by the aunt beside him. He could only put his hands in his sleeves and continue watching the fun.

Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were sitting together in the back. The two were close to each other. Xu Damao took the opportunity to explain to his wife, his eyes turning to Yang Xiaotao from time to time, wondering what he was thinking.

At this moment, there were almost all registrations in the field.

The last few families either used the third uncle's family as a comparison or the Jia family as a standard. Yan Fugui had no idea for a while, and Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong didn't dare to offend anyone, so they had to pass.

When no one stood up in the end, Yan Fugui wiped his forehead and patted the table, "That's it, there are ten companies in need of help!"

After saying this number, people around him became noisy. Silly Zhu even clapped his fingers and waved to the people on the side, "Come on, one family helps each other, how balanced it is."

Yan Fugui looked at it and felt a little toothache.

If there are so many people, if they all pass, why not help half of them?

Maybe, this year his family will be in vain again!

Yi Zhonghai looked around and nodded helplessly, then signaled to the second uncle, it's your turn.

However, this time, the second uncle didn't come to join in the fun. He just sat there and said nothing.

Although he was the host last year, things are different now. If you look at it now, will you be criticized?

Liu Haizhong did not participate. The third uncle said that he was involved to avoid suspicion and left it alone.

As the initiator of the conference, Yi Zhonghai could not wait and had no choice but to preside over the meeting himself.

Fortunately, I had an experience and started the next one according to the process.

"Okay, according to the rules, we will vote on the families who apply."

"Except for the families who applied, everyone else voted by show of hands."

"Those who pass more than half will advance to the next round."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he frowned.

According to the current situation, there are twenty-one households in the entire courtyard. Except for the deaf old lady who did not attend, there are ten households in need of help. If these ten families have discussed it, they will have at least eight or nine votes. If two relatives are brought in, it will be easy to pass half of the votes.

Thinking that there might be seven, eight, or even ten families in need of help in the end, Yi Zhonghai had a headache.

But things have developed to this point, and we can’t delay it.

Taking a deep breath, Yi Zhonghai stood up and began to preside over the meeting.

"Next, vote for the Wang family."

brush

Everyone raised their hands. The Wang family was a household in difficulty last year. It was obvious to everyone, and they would not act unconscionably. Yi Zhonghai didn't need to count, and waved his hand, "Passed!"

"Next, the Zhou family."

Another group of people raised their hands and said, "Pass."

Yi Zhonghai slowed down his tone, then looked in the direction of the Jia family, "Next, the Jia family!"

Jia Zhang made the people around her nervous and encouraged them to raise their hands quickly.

Some people who couldn't hold back their feelings raised their hands, which was much less than the previous two times.

"Eleven. More than half, qualified."

Yi Zhonghai told the final result, and Jia Zhang breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he looked at Yang Xiaotao, his face full of pride.

Just now, she saw that Yang Xiaotao didn't raise his hand, and even the Chen family and Wang Dashan family didn't raise their hands either.

Huh, these guys are all heartless.

The Jia family passed and soon arrived at the third uncle's house.

Likewise, the third uncle’s family passed.

Then each family will pass, and each family will pass.

Gradually, Yi Zhonghai discovered something was wrong.

It seems that except for the Jia family, everyone in Yang Xiaotao's group will raise their hands every time they vote, and no one will be left behind.

He looked over there. In addition to the Chen family and Wang Dashan family, there were four families from the steel rolling mill following behind. In this way, Yang Xiaotao alone had six votes, and the rest could be solved with a few helpers. pass.

If this continues, the final result will be that everyone passes.

Thinking of this, Yi Zhonghai interrupted the meeting, raised his head and said to Yang Xiaotao and others.

"The meeting is paused, let me say a few words."

"Our purpose this time is to help those who really need it. Some people should not make trouble here and lower the standards for passing the review."

"There are still some people who should not follow the trend and have their own opinions."

Yi Zhonghai looked at Yang Xiaotao and others, and naturally these words were addressed to them.

Unfortunately, Yang Xiaotao didn't pay attention at all and continued to crack melon seeds, turning a deaf ear to it.

Yi Zhonghai felt that no one listened to what he said, and the people around him didn't take it seriously. As soon as he was angry, he shouted.

"Yang Xiaotao, what about you, do you hear me?"

Yang Xiaotao was still sitting there, but he just raised his head and spat out the melon seed rinds on the ground. There was no need for him to clean the yard anyway, "I heard you, sir."

"We all understand what you said. Don't you just tell us not to raise our hands? For the following few, we just don't raise our hands."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, the three remaining family members immediately looked at Yi Zhonghai.

What's the meaning? Are they not allowed to pass?

The calm one just stared at Yi Zhonghai, while the impatient one started to curse.

The Li family's wife in front of them stood up, pointed at Yi Zhonghai and shouted.

"Master, what do you mean? There's no need to bury people like this. Why is our family so obsessed with suppressing us?"

Yi Zhonghai's expression changed. He didn't expect Yang Xiaotao to be so difficult to deal with. He just mentioned it and he actually transferred the conflict to others.

Damn boy.

"No, I'm not telling them not to raise their hands, but they must at least make their own judgment."

Yi Zhonghai explained, but the Li family's daughter-in-law disagreed, "What is your own judgment? Why did you just say your own judgment when you arrived at my house? Could it be that their judgment was wrong before, but now it's right?"

"Yi Zhonghai, what do you mean?"

At the end, calling Yi Zhonghai's name directly made him feel extremely humiliated.

It's just that at this time, he can't be angry, let alone be familiar with this woman, otherwise he will not only lose his identity and face, but also his prestige.

"I don't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it."

"The meeting will continue below."

After Yi Zhonghai finished speaking, he started directly without giving others a chance to speak.

This time, Yang Xiaotao and the others still raised their hands. Not only that, they also smiled at him, making his hands holding the teapot have blue veins.

Resisting his inner impulse, Yi Zhonghai completed the meeting.

Not surprisingly, everyone passed.

Yang Xiaotao continued to sit there and watch the show, and the most interesting thing was next.

Yi Zhonghai knew that this meeting was a bit difficult. Not only did he know it, but Liu Haizhong and Yan Fugui next to him also knew it.

Because of this, the two of them sat quietly on the stool without saying a word.

Yi Zhonghai had no choice. He initiated the meeting, so it had to have a beginning and an end.

"Next, anyone in the courtyard who is willing to step forward and help, please raise your hand!"

After the words fell, he raised his hand first.

There was no way, he had to do this, otherwise there would probably be no one left.

Sure enough, the entire hospital raised one hand.

Yi Zhonghai looked ugly, and then looked at the second uncle Liu Haizhong aside.

Liu Haizhong was restless. He had seen the current situation, but he was thinking in his heart, if he agreed, which company would he choose?

This is something that offends people.

But before he could figure out how to choose, everyone's eyes turned over.

In desperation, Liu Haizhong slowly raised his hand.

"I am also willing to contribute to the compound."

Liu Haizhong spoke slowly, and anyone could see the reluctance on his face.

The bangs counted as one, and then everyone looked at Yang Xiaotao who was aside.

Contrary to expectations, I thought Yang Xiaotao would readily agree, just like last year.

Moreover, people in the courtyard also felt that with Yang Xiaotao's current wealth, it was more than enough to help not only one family, but two families.

However, what surprised them was that Yang Xiaotao was sitting there, cracking melon seeds and smiling at the people around him, but he showed no intention of moving.

One look, two looks.

Yi Zhonghai looked over, Liu Haizhong looked over, and everyone tilted their heads to look over.

Bang, bang, bang

One minute, two minutes.

The courtyard was quiet.

Jia Zhang's boss stared with triangle eyes, Silly Zhu opened his mouth to speak, Xu Damao held Lou Xiao'e back from getting up, Qin Huairu hugged the stick with hope in her eyes.

Even Uncle Chen on the side felt a little uneasy when being watched by so many people.

However, Yang Xiaotao didn't realize it, as if he didn't see it.

"Yang Xiaotao, it's your turn!"

Yan Fugui looked at the current situation. Yi Zhonghai didn't speak, Liu Haizhong didn't speak out, and he, the third uncle, was the only one speaking.

"What's my turn?"

Yang Xiaotao asked knowingly, and the third master said angrily, "I said, do you want to sign up?"

"You brought this up in the first place, and you participated in it last year."

"You won't be exempted this year!"

After hearing this, Yang Xiaotao didn't get up and was still sitting there.

"Third uncle, you said it wrong."

Everyone was wondering why it was wrong.

But he heard Yang Xiaotao say, "Just because I did it last year, doesn't it mean I have to do it again this year?"

"Third uncle, you have made an empiricist error. You must treat it with caution. Otherwise, if it spreads to the school, you will be criticized."

"You, if you don't take the lead here, I'm going to ask you, will you repay it?"

Yan Fugui didn't want to talk nonsense with Yang Xiaotao, but he knew Yang Xiaotao's ability. If he could say "so and so, let's go to such and such for a dollar," he would just be looking for trouble.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaotao patted the melon seed peels on his body and said helplessly, "I want to help, but I am too willing to help."

"It cost a lot of money to pull this wire. I'm a big spender and I don't have any money, so I won't participate this year."

After Yang Xiaotao finished speaking, he took out another handful of melon seeds from his pocket and continued to crackle them.

"Yang Xiaotao, you have no money? Will you have no money?"

Jia and Zhang were so angry that they collected dozens of money from their family alone. In addition, Yang Xiaotao's net worth was not small, including those from Silly Zhu's family and Xu Damao's family. Only a ghost would believe it when he said he had no money!

"You are alone, almost fifty every month, and you have vegetables from the yard. You eat so well and live a better life than anyone else. Who will believe you when you say you have no money?"

"I think you just don't have a conscience and don't want to help the needy households in the courtyard."

"You don't deserve to live in this compound, you don't deserve to be a neighbor."

Jia Zhang is a talkative, a perfect moral bitch, and a good student of Yi Zhonghai.
