Scholars in the courtyard

"Donate?"

When Yang Xiaotao heard this word, he immediately thought of the famous scene of the courtyard house in the film and television drama.

However, it was a donation to the Jia family, but now it is a donation to people in need.

The objects of the two are different.

etc.

need help?

Yang Xiaotao narrowed his eyes and looked down at Jia Dongxu, who was also eager to try, "It's best not to be like that, otherwise, you want to take advantage of me, hum."

After a short period of noise, the crowd was quickly blocked by the cold wind and listened quietly.

At this time, it was the third uncle Yan Fugui's turn.

“Dear neighbors, as the saying goes, a distant relative is not as good as a close neighbor.”

"Every family will inevitably have difficult times."

"The ancients said that if people are kind, although blessings have not yet arrived, disasters have been far away."

"It means that this person has done good things. Although the good blessings have not come in return, the disaster has been far away from him."

"This is about letting us do more good deeds and help more people in need."

"So, what I said is very necessary. We people in a compound should help each other and be united and friendly."

"This is also a reflection of the spiritual civilization of our compound. The selection of the compound is very meaningful."

The third uncle is worthy of being the people's teacher. Although few people present understood what the ancients said, they still understood the last sentence.

To help others is to maintain the unity of the compound and to donate money.

Yang Xiaotao clicked his tongue, this Yan Laoxi is still quite good.

If another person had said this, he would have truly believed it.

But he is a stingy person who has to pluck out a few chicken feathers every time an iron rooster passes in front of him. What he said is no different from farting.

Everyone also knows Yan Fugui's behavior, especially when it comes to money, he doesn't say anything.

It’s hard to make money these days, and no one’s family is brought here by the strong wind. They live on every penny. If there is less, the family will be miserable.

Seeing that everyone was still hesitating, the first man wanted to end it as soon as possible, so he spoke again, "The amount of donation this time depends entirely on one's own wishes."

"I believe that we in the same courtyard are all warm-hearted and will not let such a tragedy happen here."

"In this way, as the oldest man in the yard, I will donate 5 yuan on behalf of our family."

Yi Zhonghai's words were sonorous, as if covering up the cold wind so that everyone could hear him.

Five yuan is definitely a huge sum of money in the eyes of many people who earn more than ten or twenty dollars a month.

But in Yang Xiaotao's view, it's really disgusting to see a person with a monthly income of 99 yuan only donate 5 yuan and act so righteously.

However, as the saying goes, the amount of donation depends on one's own wishes. As long as you don't offend him, he doesn't want to get into trouble.

After all, he agrees with donating money to those in need.

"Well, since the first uncle has done this, as the second uncle and the steward of the courtyard, I cannot watch the people in the same courtyard suffer from the cold."

"I, Liu Haizhong, donate 5 yuan on behalf of our family."

As he spoke, Liu Haizhong also had a determined look on his face.

Putting the five dollars in front of Yan Fugui, Yan Fugui immediately wrote it down in his notebook.

Many people in the crowd started clapping. These two people donated ten yuan, and a few more would probably be enough.

At this time, people turned their attention to the third uncle.

Yan Fugui sat on the stool, not sure whether it was because of the cold weather or because his face was red and dry. He was restless, but he had to say it.

"Everyone knows everything about our family."

Yan Fugui talked about his family situation as usual, then gritted his teeth and took out a dollar, "My family will contribute one dollar."

Lower your head and say nothing.

"No, third uncle, can you just pay one dollar?"

Silly Zhu stood aside and said dissatisfied.

When Yan Fugui heard this, he immediately snorted: "What? Is my family poor?"

"Isn't this too little for you?"

Silly Zhu curled his lips and said in disgust, "After all, you are also the third uncle in our courtyard. We all believe in you, so you became the steward. Now that the courtyard is in trouble, why don't you take out more money? Are you sorry?"

Yan Fugui's face turned red and he was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Yi Zhonghai on the side quickly stood up to smooth things over, "Zhuzi, what nonsense are you talking about? Donations are all based on personal wishes."

The second uncle, Liu Haizhong, also chuckled, "Yes, you can't force donations. It all depends on personal preference."

As he spoke, Yan Fugui emphasized his thoughts, and Yan Fugui naturally understood what he meant, which meant that he didn't care enough.

But he has no choice. The whole family depends on his salary, and he still has to save some to buy coal.

Who knows what will happen this winter.

As for the coal bought with donations, based on his understanding of Yi Zhonghai, his family would definitely not have a share.

Even if there are, there won't be many.

Bastard Yi Zhonghai, damn Liu Haizhong, damn stupid Zhu.

Yan Fugui cursed in his heart, and Silly Zhu on the side took out five yuan from his arms and said, "We are all from the same compound, who doesn't have some difficulties?"

"I'll give you five dollars!"

Silly Zhu said, looking around as arrogantly as a white swan.

Yan Fugui above lowered his head again, pinching his fingers together under the table, and his eyes behind his glasses were shining with hatred.

Silly Zhu didn't realize it. Seeing that the people around him still didn't come forward to donate, he smiled disdainfully and stared at Xu Damao beside him.

"Si Mao. We have been neighbors in our courtyard for many years, so you can't be stingy about this."

Xu Damao felt as disgusted as if he had eaten a fly. He did not resist this matter. After all, it was for the people in need in the yard. However, what Si Zhu said made him feel alienated.

Especially the word "silly mao" makes me feel uncomfortable when I hear it.

"Si Zhu, let me tell you, if you call me Sil Mao again, I will never be done with you."

"Oh, it's not over yet? You call me Shazhu, why don't I call you Shamao?"

Silly Zhu acted like a fool and didn't care at all about killing one thousand enemies and injuring eight hundred himself. Xu Damao was speechless for a moment.

"My family will donate five yuan."

Just when Xu Damao was angry, Xu's father came out and took out five yuan. As a projectionist in the factory, he was the only one in the yard who was better than his family.

In terms of family background, the second uncle Liu Haizhong is not as rich as the Xu family.

"Hey, Uncle Xu is still so arrogant, Silly Mao, learn from Uncle Xu to be a good person in the future."

Sha Zhu said without thinking. Xu's father was not angry after hearing this. He also knew Sha Zhu's temperament over the years.

Otherwise, why would he be called Silly Pillar?

Xu Damao stretched out his hand and waved his fist in the air. Silly Zhu raised his head, meaning if you have the ability, just come.

After taking care of Xu Damao, Shazhu looked at Yang Xiaotao outside the crowd.

Deep down in his heart, Shazhu hated Yang Xiaotao even more, not only because the other party beat him and made him lose face, but also because Yang Xiaotao had completely changed his appearance and was not as easy to bully as before.

Silly Zhu is like this. He has a sense of superiority in his heart towards people who are inferior to him, but he is able to do things that normal people do.

But the hatred and narrow-mindedness of people who are stronger than him make him wish for the misfortune of the other person.

Now, he really wanted to see Yang Xiaotao suffer.

He drank air in his mouth to warm his hands, and then shouted loudly.

"Yang Xiaotao, you are also a first-class worker now, and you are a member of the whole family. Do you want to donate some too?"

"Everyone in this compound is watching. You asked me for ten yuan last time. I think you should donate it. It's not legitimate income anyway."

"Do you guys think so?"

Yang Xiaotao knew the other party's plan when Sha Zhu looked over. Although it was funny after hearing this, he didn't care. He already had an idea in his mind.

Uncle Chen on the side wanted to speak, but Yang Xiaotao waved his hand, "Masters, all the elders are here, even if they are in order, it won't be my turn anyway."

"The elder said that you should respect the old and love the young. This respect for elders is not just talk."

"Silly Zhu, you are so eager to show off, do you have a higher status than your uncles?"

Yang Xiaotao smiled. He didn't say how much he donated, but he was just taking care of himself.

Silly Zhu's face turned red. He was just about to show off in a hurry, but he actually forgot about this.

In fact, when Shazhu donated five yuan, many people had already shown their dissatisfaction.

A junior has come forward and raised the price so high. How can it be embarrassing for uncles and uncles like them to get only 15 cents?

What is this if it's not roasting on a fire?

It was just because of the big man's face that he didn't say anything.

At Shazhu Pass, the elder saw this and spoke quickly.

"I said, everyone's donations are all based on your heart. It's all out of love for this yard."

No one said much, but Yang Xiaotao smiled on the side and refused to donate.

Silly Zhu also noticed that he would not show up until the end, and sneered, "It will happen sooner or later."

Yang Xiaotao ignored it. Uncle Chen stood up and came to the middle. He took out the fifty cents and placed it in front of Yan Fugui.

Yan Fugui glanced at it, nodded and took note.

Everyone knows the situation of the Chen family. Only one son works in Shanghai, far away from Sijiu City, and cannot be taken care of. There is no one to take care of him in life.

Then, a few more people came out, but they all paid a few cents. Even Wang Dashan also threw down 30 cents, and Yi Zhonghai and the others didn't say anything.

Watching Jia Dongxu take out 50 cents and put them on the table. In the end, a dozen or so households still donated a few cents. The total amount was only three or four yuan, not as much as the three uncles contributed.

Silly Zhu watched the last person finish and looked at Yang Xiaotao again.

"Yang Xiaotao, it's your turn this time."

With a provocative look in his eyes, Yang Xiaotao patted the non-existent dust on his hands, stood up, and walked step by step into the crowd.

"Go aside."

Seeing Sha Zhu blocking the front, Yang Xiaotao said coldly, Sha Zhu snorted again and got out of the way.

Yang Xiaotao came to the table, not in a hurry to get the money, but asked about Yi Zhonghai.

"Master, I just heard that you said you were buying coal for those in need in the yard."

"I'm a little unclear and would like to ask who in our yard needs help."

"I'm not trying to make fun of you. I fully support donating money to help those in need."

When Yang Xiaotao said this, he first made his attitude clear.

He is not a cold-blooded person and is willing to help those in need.

"But the ancients said that there is no rule without rules. Now we are also a society governed by law. Everything must have regulations, right?"

Yang Xiaotao didn't say a word, but Yi Zhonghai's face turned cold, and Liu Haizhong next to him became even more angry. Is he saying that their boss didn't follow the rules?

If he hadn't been guarding so many people, with his temper, he would have given him two big mouths.

"Yes, Xiaotao is right."

Suddenly, the third uncle agreed, "There is no rule without rules."

"First Master, Second Master, we really need to set a goal. Who and what family needs help cannot be generalized, otherwise it will be aimless, but we will make empiricist mistakes."

Yi Zhonghai was furious in his bangs. Who are you, Yan Laoxi, from? You were stabbed in the back with a knife.

Yang Xiaotao smiled, but he didn't expect that these three uncles were really good at scheming.

He didn't think Yan Fugui was kind enough to speak for him.

Based on his understanding of this calculating person, he must have had the idea of ​​"needing others".

"But it has nothing to do with him."

Yang Xiaotao saw that some of the people agreed and some were confused, so he ignored them and said while looking at the people.

"You also know that I am in this courtyard and have no contact with the Jia family. If I use my donated money to help the Jia family, then please forgive me."

Yang Xiaotao looked at the anger on Jia Dongxu's face and spoke word by word.

"I-don't-donate!"
