Siheyuan: Jie Hu Lou Xiao'e

"Me? What do I mean? Thanks to everyone's respect, I have some say in the backyard. I can't represent everyone's voice. Let's be more democratic and vote! Everyone will vote whether to stay or not.

"

Su Ci greeted him and asked Su Weiguo to get the homework book, tear it into strips of paper, and distribute them to each household in the backyard.

"We vote by secret ballot and only count the numbers. Those who agree to stay will draw a circle, and those who disagree will draw a cross."

Everyone looked at each other with different expressions, and quickly wrote down their answers, and finally gave them to the two children, Su Weiguo and Su Weidong, and put them into Su Ci's hands.

"Master, you are a highly respected elder in our courtyard, so it is up to you to count the votes."

There was a playful smile on Su Ci's lips, which made the elder feel frightened.

"Okay, I'll do it then."

Yi Zhonghai felt in his heart that Su Ci just wanted to find a way out for him and go through the motions.

Now he has even brought up the name of the sub-district office. Isn't it the consciousness that everyone should have to overcome difficulties together in difficult times? Therefore, the first man has a very calm mind and votes calmly.

But when the results came out, he was completely stunned.

"There is only one vote to agree, and twenty-three votes to disagree?"

The third uncle and other residents in the front yard suddenly looked at each other. The first uncle's expression quickly solidified, and his face was full of disbelief.

Su Citan laughed and said: "Master, the minority should follow the majority. This is also the result of democratic voting. As the representative spokesperson of everyone, I cannot go against everyone's will!"

"So, in order to implement the instructions of our sub-district office and at the same time exert the spirit of unity and struggle in difficult times, let the third uncle and the others come to your courtyard for a squeeze!"

Su Ci returned the words to the uncle without any changes. Yi Zhonghai suddenly looked constipated and said: "But we already have twenty people in the middle courtyard, plus the twenty or so people in the front courtyard, then

Isn’t it too crowded?”

Su Cidao: "Don't worry about that. I still have some wood here. It's not practical to build another earthquake shelter. But if we expand it on the basis of the middle courtyard, it won't be a problem at all!"

"What's more, with the frame foundation of the thatched house in the middle courtyard, it looks more suitable than the backyard!"

When the residents in the front yard heard this, they immediately whispered. Su Ci's words seemed to make some sense!

What's more, the people in the backyard don't welcome them, so why do they insist on coming here? Isn't it the same in the middle courtyard? Anyway, it's not a loss to have a master to help them make the decision!

The third uncle said: "How about we go to the middle courtyard to stay?" "I think it's okay!"

"Didn't Manager Su tell us that if we donate some wood, we can expand the earthquake shelter?"

"Let's go to the middle courtyard!"

"They've already given us fifty pounds of dried sweet potatoes, so why bother to cause further trouble!"

Without waiting for the first master to give any instructions, everyone evacuated the backyard. The young men carried the wood sent by Su Ci and moved toward the central courtyard to expand the earthquake shed with great gratitude.

The old man's face was so dark that he finally returned to the middle courtyard in a gray state.

Ding Qiunan breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't want to live together with so many people, but just now the uncle spoke uprightly. She really didn't know how to deal with it. She didn't expect her husband to pass the test so smoothly.

Ding Qiunan admired this skill with ease and skill from the bottom of his heart.

"Su Ci, how can you be sure that the majority of people voting in our backyard will disagree?"

"Yes, that's what I want to ask too!" He Yuzhu and Wen Li also came over, their faces full of asking for advice.

Su Ci smiled and said, "Do you still remember how I distributed the dried sweet potatoes before?"

"Remember, our backyard weighs one hundred kilograms, and the front yard and middle yard each weigh fifty kilograms."

"No matter what era it was, we did not suffer from scarcity but from inequality. Our courtyard house is a collective kitchen, and when people from the front yard come over, it will inevitably lead to uneven distribution!"

Nowadays, every household is still struggling with food and clothing. They don’t have enough to eat. And in such a disaster, grain stores and non-staple food stores are closed. The days of starvation in the next three to five months are unavoidable.

.

But Su Ci shared a hundred kilograms of dried sweet potatoes in one breath. Food is extremely precious. Who wants to let the people in the front yard spread out the newly allocated ration for no reason?

Which of your children is not growing?!

Moreover, Su Ci has many connections and resources. Who knows if he will continue to share more food in the future? Doubling the number of people means that their allocation will be reduced by half!

For this reason, they would not agree to anything! It is worth mentioning that the only vote of approval was the circle drawn by Su Ci.

Ding Qiunan suddenly realized, his eyes filled with admiration.

He Yuzhu took a breath and looked at Su Ci with a strange look: "Fortunately, I'm not going against you now, otherwise all the pants you were destined to trick would be gone! Su Ci, you are too shady!"

But even though he said that, the thumbs up on He Yuzhu's hand expressed his true feelings.

"Wei Guo, Wei Dong, you two go to the vegetable cellar and carry out the half of the sorghum rice we have eaten."

"oh!"

The two little guys ran to the vegetable cellar in a hurry. When they came back, the half-grown boy came back carrying more than thirty kilograms of rice bags.

"Silly Zhu, I'll treat everyone to a snack tonight, rice!"

"Yeah, I'm going to take advantage of you, Northeastern sorghum rice!"

He Yuzhu smiled and took the rice bag handed over by Su Weiguo. His arms suddenly sank, almost shaking his waist.

"It's so heavy, how did these two kids carry it?!"

He Yuzhu was stunned. He had been careless just now. Seeing Su Weiguo and Su Weidong come back carrying the rice bags easily and leisurely, he thought it was as light as cotton. He took it and held it in his hand, almost making a fool of himself!

At the same time, he was also secretly surprised. Could it be that these two boys were born with supernatural powers? No wonder all the ruffians in Hongxing Elementary School had to walk around when they saw them!

Soon, the fragrant rice came out of the oven. The newly set up stove was steaming the rice. Everyone in the backyard was beaming with joy as they ate the piles of rice. They all felt that it was wise not to let people from the front yard come over.

.

Otherwise, the bowl of rice on hand would have to be halved!

The uncle was really nothing, and he almost caused them a big loss! But Su Ci's heart-breaking move was yet to come. He asked Banggan and Xiaodang to send the remaining sorghum rice to the middle courtyard.

Everyone was given a small half bowl of Northeastern high-quality sorghum rice. Everyone was overjoyed, especially the hungry ones. They wolfed down the food without leaving a grain of rice. They drank another bowl of sweet potato porridge with unsatisfied taste.

A warm current surged through his limbs, and he couldn't thank Su Ci enough in his heart.

"Manager Su is such a nice guy. He sent you dried sweet potatoes and rice! He even gave us the wood for the expansion!" "A need is a lesson for you!"

"My benefactor! I think Su Ci should be elected as the third uncle of our courtyard!"

"Go, go, how old is Manager Su? You are not cursing me, the youngest!"

The neighbors in the front yard and the middle yard all accepted Su Ci's favor, but the old man who had just been led by Dayi Lingran to negotiate with them in the backyard was completely invisible, and no one came to thank him from the beginning to the end.

The old man's face was so dark, and Su Ci easily wiped out all the little plans in his heart, and even made a series of murderous and heart-wrenching operations. Not all of these favors and prestige were taken away by Su Ci!

The one with the same dark face is Qin Huairu, who is also not in a very beautiful mood. The rice that was originally fragrant suddenly lost its flavor as soon as it was labeled as Su Ci!"

"Wow!" Young people don't know the feeling of sadness. For Su Weiguo and Su Weidong, after the earthquake shelter was built, it became their paradise. They took He Xiao and He Duoduo to poke the linoleum cloth with wooden sticks when it rained. water bag on.

Every time, a large splash of water will be made, and after the water packet disappears on one side, the one on the other side will appear. One summer, the children have a great time playing.

"Dad! Let me tell you a secret! I found that the second uncle gets up in the middle of the night to go to the toilet the most!"

Su Weidong reported to Su Cihui mysteriously. Su Ci couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this: "You guys stay up all night just to play this kind of game?"

It turns out that these children are very energetic at night and like to lie down at the entrance of the tent, counting who gets up the most at night, and even bet with each other.

Earthquakes, which seem like disasters to outsiders, are a novel experience for children.

Of course, Ding Qiunan is also unaffected. As long as she has a quiet corner and a thick medical book, she can spend a pleasant time.

Unfortunately, such happy time passed quickly, and work continued to be carried out. There were many people affected by the disaster in the machine repair shop, and the doctor Ding Qiunan was expected to take charge of the situation.

In view of the frequent aftershocks from time to time, the work of the cinema was also in a state of semi-paralysis, so Su Ci took some time to check on the conditions of several confidante.

Yu Li and Yu Haitang are in good condition and have followed his advice. They are now living comfortably in the military tent and have sufficient food reserves.

Ran Qiuye and her mother went to the machine repair shop and met up with Ran's father. The family lived in a collective earthquake shed in the training class. Due to the large number of people, Su Ci did not specially send a military tent to avoid attracting unnecessary attention and attention. trouble

Qin Jingru is very good. The service club is a newly built building with a solid foundation and will not collapse during an earthquake. She actually got a luxurious single-room earthquake shed and used it to continue selling the service club's products. The business is quite good.

Su Ci brought Liu Guangfu, Han Chunming, and several veteran drivers from the transportation department of the steel rolling mill to deliver pork, beef and mutton. Due to traffic control, it would be impossible to collect the eggs for a while.

But his arrival undoubtedly gave the entire machine repair shop a shot in the arm.

"Director Su is here!"

"Director Su has sent warmth to everyone!"

"Everyone applauds to welcome Director Su!"

All the staff were delighted and applauded warmly to welcome Su Ci back as the king.

Su Ci smiled and waved his hand, and said: "Everyone, you're welcome. I'm no longer a director. Now you can call me Manager Su, or Su Ci. If you're polite, just call me Brother Su."

But no matter how he explained it, people only recognized him by one title, Director Su.

How can it be possible to change this habit that has lasted for almost ten years?

After hearing the news, Liu Feng came forward and excitedly held Su Ci's hand: "Director Su, why didn't you notify me that you were here?"

"Old Liu, how is Duoduo doing now?" Su Ci asked politely.

"Okay! Everything is fine! Now I have been elected as an art soldier and I am going to perform in various military regions!"

When Liu Feng mentioned his daughter, he was so happy that he could not open his mouth from ear to ear. If Su Ci hadn't helped him cultivate relationships in the first place, how could Duo Duo have become a soldier with his status?

How could he survive those difficult years? He would have to remember this favor for the rest of his life! As for Jiao Min, haha!

Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don’t bully the middle-aged and poor!

Now he cries, makes trouble, and hangs himself all the time, wanting to remarry, but it turns out that Liu Feng doesn't want to do this at all, and finds a good woman to marry him, and this year he even gave birth to a fat boy.

"Director Su, you are here this time..." Liu Feng looked at the transport convoy without blinking.

"Giving pork! However, the price has increased to one yuan per catty. The old rules are that the offal is free. From now on, it will be given regularly until the state cancels the monopoly on purchasing and marketing."

"Okay! Okay!" Liu Feng was very excited. To be honest, he has been speechless in the past six months! The price only increased by 20 cents, which is so conscientious.

As for this time limit, he was even more happy. Su Ci said this, didn't it mean that it would be sent to the end of the world!

How could there be a day when the country would abolish unified purchasing and marketing? Liu Feng thought innocently.

"I'll have the finance department prepare the approval slip and cash for you right away!"

Su Ci came to the machine repair shop for another purpose. He found Ran's father and summoned the graduates of the training class who had been trained in the past nine years. Looking around, there were already more than 800 people.

Among them, there are 200 people who can be considered top-notch. These are important strategic resources and the most solid foundation for Su Ci's future efforts.

The trend of the future will be faster every step faster. Faced with a nearly deserted market and a huge cake, if other people want to enter the industry, it will take a lot of time just to introduce foreign capital and train talents, but Su Ci has already

Ahead of the times.

These people are so valuable that they cannot afford to lose. Therefore, Su Ci specially brought a cart of pork to express condolences to these talents.

At first, he thought about taking a transportation team to the street office to deliver warmth to the surrounding residents. However, such a high-profile behavior would definitely attract much attention. When the time came, it accidentally made it into the newspapers, and some people suspected that he had pork.

Source, that's not just a matter of getting angry.

As the saying goes, if the money doesn't flow to outsiders, it might as well be used to win people's hearts!

"Any technician who has graduated from the training class in the past nine years can receive five kilograms of pork for free with their graduation certificate. From now on, they can receive it at the same time every week!"

"real?!"

"Oh my gosh, I carry my diploma with me, can't I earn five pounds of pork now?"

"Every week! Director Su is open and bright!"

Everyone was excited for a moment. Originally, they only regarded participating in the training class as a way to earn extra money, but unexpectedly, now that the training class has ended, Director Su is still thinking about them!

After the earthquake, he did not forget to come and visit in person to send warmth! Countless people felt warm in their hearts, and they became more and more grateful to Su Ci. The effect of this wave of buying people's hearts was very significant.

The heart-warming thing about this era is that if you are sincere to these lovely workers, they will follow you wholeheartedly.

It would be impossible for someone to poach them for at least the next twenty years.

After all, Su Ci gave them the warmest words of advice in times of crisis. How could he be justified in his conscience if he became a traitor?

When Su Ci returned home, he just happened to bump into Princess He Yuzhu holding Qin Huairu in her arms and running out of the house in a hurry.

"???"

Su Ci almost thought that he had seen it wrong. After rubbing his eyes to confirm, three big question marks slowly appeared on his forehead.
