Chapter Twenty-Nine: Another House Assembly
"Huh! I said why is this uncle so positive, this is to find face! Yan Xie Cheng said with a smile
"I heard your uncle say that in our yard, almost all the workers working in your factory have been promoted to the next level?"
"Yes, except for the second uncle, almost all of them have been promoted by one level, does the first uncle want these promoted workers to raise funds to invite the people in the compound to dinner." This is very much in line with the character of an uncle.
Yan Fugui thought for a while, "It's possible, if he lets him go out alone, he will definitely be reluctant, there are 100 people in our courtyard, all come to eat, and they can't get down without fifty yuan, which is enough to catch up with half a month's salary." ”
In the middle courtyard, the stupid pillar house, an uncle pushed the door in. "Silly Zhu, remember to come out for a meeting after eating, don't drink, I have something to say later."
"What's the matter? I've got it all out. Silly Zhu said with a dissatisfied face.
"Didn't many people in our compound get a salary upgrade this time? I thought, this is a good thing, let's celebrate together. Uncle Yi said with a red face.
"Uncle Yi, do you want to have a dinner? If you don't say that you are atmospheric, you can rest assured, I will take charge of you, absolutely arranged, and guarantee to give you a long face. Silly Zhu said with a smile.
Uncle Yi's head was full of black lines, "Don't talk nonsense, when did I say I was going to have a treat?" ”
Silly Zhu touched his head: "Didn't you say celebrate just now?" You can't eat to celebrate! ”
"I didn't say anything, I'll invite it myself! What I want is to wait for a meeting to discuss, and let all the promoted workers pay together to invite the neighbors in the compound to have a meal together, after all, it is a happy event for everyone. ”
"Uncle Yi, I don't have any money! You know, I owe you a lot of money. Silly Zhu patted his pocket and said.
"I'll help you out, you don't have to pay it back, you just agree." Uncle Yi looked at the stupid pillar and really couldn't come up with the money, so he said.
"If I don't pay for it, I really don't have any money, if I don't work in the kitchen, I'm going to starve to death." Silly Zhu said helplessly.
"Why don't you say that you don't have any money, wait a minute, I'll ask your aunt to send you ten yuan, you spend it first, don't be in a hurry to pay me back."
Uncle Yi didn't care, for him, who was about to get an eighth-level salary, it was all small money.
"Then I thank you, Sister Qin borrowed money from me just now, and she said that her family didn't have enough money to spend. I don't have any money, if I do, I'll borrow her. ”
Silly Zhu wanted to ask an uncle to think of a way for Qin Huairu, or lend money to her family, looking at Qin Huairu's crying face, he felt uncomfortable.
"Okay, I'll figure it out, you don't care about her, you take care of yourself first, and you see what your family has become."
After speaking, Uncle Yi came to the backyard bangs in the house again.
"His second uncle, wait for a meeting in the middle courtyard after dinner."
"What's the meeting? Silly Pillar stealing again? The second uncle said deliberately.
"Don't talk nonsense, what kind of stealing, aren't all the workers who work in our factory a higher salary, I want to discuss how to celebrate."
"Isn't it just a few dollars more in salary? What is there to celebrate. ”
The second uncle was angry in his heart, I didn't pass the assessment, you still have to celebrate, isn't this Chengxin against me, when I become an official, I will make you look good one by one.
"What's the meaning of a few extra dollars, how can this be considered a happy event in the compound, right?"
"Alright, alright, I can't go."
"Then I'll go back, remember to come as soon as you finish eating," he said and left.
The second aunt looked at the back of the first uncle's departure: "I think Yi Zhonghai is here to deliberately anger you." ”
"You think I don't know, I'm not uncommon to deal with him, and when I become an official, you see how I fix him, I really think that I will ascend to heaven when I become an eighth-level fitter." After speaking, he dropped his chopsticks.
Guangfu Guangtian hurriedly lowered his head, for fear of angering Liu Haizhong and ushering in a violent beating.
At Qin Huairu's house in the middle courtyard, Jia Zhang's was holding a white-flour steamed bun in his hand, eating the dishes brought back by Silly Zhu. "Huairu, you said that Uncle Yi was promoted to the eighth level worker, and he got a hundred yuan a month, right?"
Qin Huairu replied while gnawing on the nest and drinking porridge: "Isn't it, the eighth-level salary, one hundred and ten yuan a month, has caught up with my half-year salary." ”
"That's a good thing! This stupid pillar and the uncle have all raised their salaries, and they will support us a little in the future, and it will be enough for us to eat and drink. ”
"Don't think about it, stupid pillar helps our family, I believe it, this uncle gave our family money that time, at most he will give some stick noodles." Faced with Jia Zhang's greed, he was speechless for a while.
Jia Zhang: "Uncle Yi is going to invite the people in the courtyard to dinner at this meeting?" , too, at his request, we have an eighth-level worker on the whole street, which is worth celebrating. ”
"You, think too much, Uncle Yi is not stupid, he can spend so much money on a treat."
Not to mention that the smartest is the widow, this Qin Huairu understands better than anyone else. She didn't want to think about it, Uncle Yi is not a stupid pillar, Uncle Yi knows better than anyone that the Jia family is not short of money, so he has always given some stick face and earned some favors.
After eating, people came to the middle courtyard of the capital, and the first uncle stood up: "This meeting is a happy event, the wages of the workers working in the rolling mill in our courtyard have risen by one level, and Yan Jiecheng has risen by two levels, I just want to be such a happy event, we have to celebrate, the last time we had dinner together, it was the second uncle's family who got married last year, it has been several months, this time everyone has to have a meal together and get together, everyone said that it is okay." ”
Silly Zhu saw Uncle Yi looking at him, and quickly stood up and said: "I think it's okay, all of us who have raised our salaries, each of us will contribute some money to get together, invite the people in the courtyard to have a meal, and celebrate together." ”
There are those below who applaud, and there are those who don't speak, and all those who don't have to pay are applauded, and those who use money to come out don't speak. It's distressing to say that you agree, and if you don't agree, you don't let everyone say you're stingy behind your back.
Uncle Yi looked at the people who used the money, and he didn't speak except for the stupid pillar.
Uncle Yi: "Xie Cheng, this time you have been raised by two levels, do you want to celebrate?" ”
"Uncle Yi, your current salary of 110 yuan a month, it is not a problem for you to invite guests to dinner, but the big guys are dragging their families to live, and they must not be able to afford it." Yan Jiecheng said unhurriedly.
Uncle Yi frowned, "Then what do you say, don't celebrate?" ”
"There is really a way, an uncle directly pays fifty yuan to invite everyone to dinner, for you, this is less than half a month's salary, it must be no problem."
Silly Zhu: "This matter is the business of the big guys, how can there be a reason for the first uncle to come out by himself." ”
